SPEAKER_00:

I did. I watched a whole lot of it. All of it. Yep. I did. A whole lot of it or all of it. All of it.

SPEAKER_02:

I watched all of it. I did. It was a good show. Um no, we skipped through half of it. Yeah, we actually, me and Clay were falling asleep and was like, hey, you want to watch this main event? It was like, yeah, alright, let's go. Straight to the main event. So I don't know what else happened. A lot of it. I have no clue. I don't know what happened. You didn't make sure that was. We watched the Melo and um what's his name match? Uh Shinsuke. Oh, we watched that. Melo and Shinsuke. That was a good match. All-time entrance match. Oh good entrances, yeah. Shinsuke's entrance is always my favorite.

SPEAKER_03:

His gear was awesome too. How do you feel about the um Trick Williams Wharton measuring match?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. It was um it's okay. Trick's not really on his level.

SPEAKER_03:

No.

SPEAKER_02:

And it was and it was apparent that he wasn't on his level.

SPEAKER_03:

Um also though, it's literally they're doing the same thing they did to Melo.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Melo Melo's first like entrance, he came out and called everybody old and said, I'm better than everybody. Immediately got his ass whipped.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And now they're going to do the same thing with they keep doing that.

SPEAKER_01:

They're the same person though, ain't they?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. No.

SPEAKER_01:

Pretty much.

SPEAKER_02:

Trick will have a match with him soon for like in the open challenge.

SPEAKER_01:

When I did see next week is Trick and Cardano for the number one contender. Oh shoot. Yeah. Yeah, it's match one.

SPEAKER_03:

It's it's uh yeah, it's a tournament. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Is it tournament? Okay, yeah. I just number one contender match. I just saw the match graphic card. Yeah, I'll just read number one.

SPEAKER_02:

Championship for the pin belt. Whoever wins those matches has a fatal four-way at Saturday night's main event.

SPEAKER_03:

For Drew or for Drew.

SPEAKER_02:

At Saturday night's main event. Whoever wins the fatal four-way faces Drew at Rumble.

SPEAKER_03:

So I'm gonna say this. Um lot of talk right now. Uh Lucas, I talked to him on the way over here. Uh, and he said there's a lot of talk all over the socials that at Rumble, he's dropping the title.

SPEAKER_02:

To who? To whoever wins to Fa 2. Fa 2's in the tournament. That smells and he said he's dropping the title. That smells obvious.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. That makes sense with them saying, you know, with I I don't think he's gonna drop it at Rumble. I I just think they're gonna let him have it a while. I don't think so. I think it's gonna change hands a couple times. Mark.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, we had two baby face champions for a long time, right? Or I mean for a little bit now.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Seems kind of weird. And Fatu.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, and Fatou is like a baby.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, Fatou's Fatu's gonna be a baby no matter what. So, all right. There, here's my argument. Fatou thinks Drew attacked him. Yeah, I Fatu takes the belt from Drew. Turns out Cody attacked him. Cody comes back as a heel because they're saying that Cody's not gonna be back for a while and they're redoing his character.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. I read the group chat, boy. I seen it. I read the group chat, all right. Yeah. So he's obvious about it. You saw it?

SPEAKER_01:

I saw it. What do you think? I I believe it. Yeah. Listen, I've I've been I've I've been saying it. Cody will turn heel. Well, yeah, he's gonna turn heel. But but I'm but I've been just strong on it though. Like I know it what ain't happening now, but it's around the corner.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Gable coming back at Rumble? Has to. Has to. I think Gable will come back at Rumble. What if he won? I think somebody Wilde's gonna win. I would I would like that. Yeah, I'd love that. Shinsuke. No, I really so we were talking about how Drew and me and Wes were talking about how Drew and Punk had a huge feud and now they're both on top. And we were talking about how that's like so classic wrestling that they had an amazing feud. It put them both so over that they went to other feuds and got titles.

SPEAKER_03:

Punk also got a new tattoo. What do you get? He got Larry's pop grant.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Right there on his chest.

SPEAKER_02:

I like that. I'm still believing there's some part in me that I think Sammy's gonna win Rumble.

SPEAKER_03:

That'd be awesome.

SPEAKER_02:

Has Sammy won a Rumble? No. No. No. We've been saying it for like three years. I know. But it's in Saudi Arabia. Okay. And that is true. Let's start with the process of elimination. There you go. Oh, it is in Saudi Arabia. High five across the table, Clay. You win. You got it. Sammy wins Rumble. Let's just go. It's in Saudi Arabia. He's never won a Rumble. He's never won a world title. He's never made or he's made an event in WrestleMania, but he's never made a minute in Night Two.

SPEAKER_00:

He's made a segment too, where he was like talking about what he was going to do in 2026 or whatever.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, but he also does that every year.

SPEAKER_00:

So yeah, that's what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_03:

Rumble's at Saudi this year, Mania's at Saudi next year, right? Correct. Okay. Um I heard about the Rumble. We may be seeing a lot of old guys in the Rumble because Saudi is what they want. Saudi loves Ruth's.

SPEAKER_01:

They want to see Andre. I mean, let's be real.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, no. But I'm just saying Saudi loves Ruth's aggression. Saudi loves Attitude Air, and they want as many of the.

SPEAKER_02:

I think Bob Backlund will be in it.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

I think they'll bring Bob Backlund out because that's like they loved that shit. Like the old school.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, they want everybody.

SPEAKER_02:

Arn Anderson.

SPEAKER_03:

It's because that's that's the era they're in right now with their TVs.

SPEAKER_01:

Let's just have another greatest Royal Rumble. I genuinely love that. The Greatest Royal Rumble. They had it in Saudi in 2018, I think. That's when Tyson fell in the ring. That's when Tied Twitter. Tyson Neil fell through the ring. It was a completely irrelevant rumble, but there was a 40-man rumble, and like there were so many people, and like people no one's ever seen either. Like they was just pulling everyone off the street. That's what they're gonna do.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh yeah, Bron Strowman won it, I think.

SPEAKER_01:

Yes. Rip. He is still the reigning Royal Rumble, greatest Royal Rumble champion.

SPEAKER_02:

Also want to say uh Braun Strowman is my best selling toys. I can sell so many Braun Strowman toys. Really? People love Braun Strowman toys. I like him. I like him a lot. Probably because he's gone and he's doing uh I think he's just a big dude and he looks really cool. Yeah. Like Wayne.

SPEAKER_01:

Big dude looks really cool. Cone bread fed.

SPEAKER_02:

Uh I think no, I don't think. I know Punch's gonna lose a title soon, right? Yeah. Yeah to a returning who? I mean Dom's gonna lose the intercontinental to somebody. Dom's out. That sucks though that he's out and like what's it where's the belt?

SPEAKER_01:

It's with him. It's gotta be a minor injury.

SPEAKER_03:

Or I think it's obvious that it is. It's it's a minor, it's not a major injury. Uh he's not on a honeymoon.

SPEAKER_02:

Could it be Breaker? Breaker, you think Breaker's gonna like gonna beat Punk? Maybe.

SPEAKER_03:

Um I don't know about that. Unless if they just keep building off of it.

SPEAKER_02:

I want to say that I don't get the Breaker losing a punk the other night. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

So that don't make sense to me. I I'm I'm gonna book a little bit. I'm gonna say they are gonna have a main event where it's gonna look like Punk is gonna beat Breaker, but Breaker's gonna get foiled and lose the match because Seth's gonna come back and cost him the match. Because the only person that Seth now hates more than he hates Punk is he hates Breaker.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

And that could be true. That's a great way for them to bring him back. Yeah. And actually to show that um Theory was a double agent the whole time and Theory was with Seth.

SPEAKER_02:

Which we think anyway, because he's wearing all Seth's attire.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he's wearing the he's wearing the uh the Seth attire that he wore when Seth was the um Jesus. Yeah, yeah. And also, what'd they call him?

SPEAKER_02:

I forgot.

SPEAKER_03:

The uh was it the visionary? Yeah, the visionary. Oh, yeah, the visionary. Yeah, yeah. I think it was something else. Messiah. Messiah. Yeah, he was the messiah. That's what he was the messiah. But and he's also doing the you know, the the stomp. Oh yeah. Yeah, that that's his move now. I was like, that's never been his move. Why would he do it now?

SPEAKER_02:

It's also way harder than the rolling stunner. No, that that's Austin Theory.

SPEAKER_01:

No, that was Grayson. I mean, Grayson. Austin had that crazy like powerbomb setup and then like over-rotate him into it like a flatliner. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

That's good too, though.

SPEAKER_01:

It was. I like that move. Crazy move.

SPEAKER_02:

I like him. But um I think I'll I I just don't I don't know if I get it. I just don't get that him losing. I mean, it he could have easily beat him and been fine with it, but also I'm such a mark all the time with it, so I don't I don't even know. I'm kind of marked on both sides. I'm ready for a pay-per-view though. It feels like it's been forever.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tell me about it. I think they just booked that match. Um I'm sorry, overbooked and overhyped that for Stranger Things crossover event. Pritrick would definitely say worker shoot. Stranger Things crossover event. No stranger things cast.

SPEAKER_02:

I absolutely think it's a shoot. I absolutely think the Stranger Things cast was like, we're done with the show. We don't want anything to do with it. It was after the show was over. The the finale's been gone. The finale was over.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, they have something coming out, like the making of, but like what's that have to do with yeah. Michael Cole couldn't get out of the van. Yeah, I know. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

That's awful. I missed that. Yeah, Michael Cole couldn't get out of that out of the Stranger Things van. I am glad to see that there wasn't much crossover stuff.

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I'm honestly, yeah. I was like, the biggest crossover was um Corey Graves. Yeah, pretty much.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh yeah, he kept talking about it. He was wearing the hell the hellfire clues.

SPEAKER_03:

He was wearing the um the leather jacket and trying to dress like he was 16 in the 50s. A greaser. Yeah, he looked uh greaser or a soche. No, he's a greaser. He looked like a greaser.

SPEAKER_02:

Use derogatory terms, please. Hey. What? Outsiders was a great movie. Um I I mean, yeah, I mean, you're right. Also a great tag team.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, that too. Yeah, that too. One of the greatest tag teams of all time. I think guys. I would say better than the movie. Yeah. You know. Yeah. The better outsiders, but both are great.

SPEAKER_02:

And let's talk about Maxine Dupree getting put over. They they put Maxine Dupree over, let her hold that title for a few minutes to make her relevant in the scene. I I would not lie. And Becky's Becky's doing God's work right now. She's so good.

SPEAKER_01:

When like seeing her on this on now. I I really just hate her. Seeing her on the run for the title, because I'd never really seen her, like seen her work until this stuff. And I've been impressed with her.

SPEAKER_02:

Maxine. She is so good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

She's gonna be I've enjoyed, you know, watching her.

SPEAKER_02:

I guess that's her job to make me hate her.

SPEAKER_01:

It is. That is true. That is true.

SPEAKER_03:

But you're forgetting the fact that she dropped the title back to Becky and she's off TV now. She'll be fine, she'll get spots. No, she asked for time off.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh shit, okay. What'd you say, Weno?

SPEAKER_00:

I said I have a question. What? And I mean this with all due respect. There are a lot more women matches these days on shows than like say six months ago.

SPEAKER_02:

You know how I know? I'd be fast forwarding through most of the show.

SPEAKER_00:

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02:

Again, I'm not sexist. I just think WWE's women's talent is mediocre.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, you're right, valid.

SPEAKER_02:

AW's is worse, but yeah. Some of those girls look like they're gonna get killed. Not sky blue.

SPEAKER_01:

Knockouts are the greatest women wrestlers.

SPEAKER_02:

Knockouts are good. Jordan Grace.

SPEAKER_01:

They always have been.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. I was just about to say that. She got caught up. Did you see that post today? Chris Van Vliet's tweet was like, who did I interview today? And somebody said Sidney Sweeney.

SPEAKER_01:

I sent one of you that said Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina Carpenter, yeah. It was it was Jordan's back. I saw another one. She was like rude. I I cannot remember. I saw another one that was hilarious. Uh someone should have said huge. Someone should have said Greg Valentine. Uh shout out Chris Van Vliet on the podcast. Oh, that was awesome, yeah. The real, real one. CVV.

SPEAKER_04:

Gosh.

SPEAKER_01:

You good? No. You didn't quit you didn't quit the smoking, didn't you? Obviously not.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. What do you think about talent that like is in other promotions that come like to the WWE and then they're like, hey, go to NXT? You think it bothers them? You think they kind of agree they should be? They let Jordan Grave. She came, she was hot, she had that fumble appearance, and she made like a match on TV, and then you played NXT you go. Do you think it bothers them? You know she just got signed to SmackDown. I know, I know she's fighting like I'm saying she went down unless she's back. So I was I mean, and then think about somebody like Jay Cargill, who was definitely greener than uh Jordan Grace, who had her big appearance from other promotion and leading to the main.

SPEAKER_02:

We all agree with that. We all agree with you that Jade that's a good one. Um I think the problem is they didn't put Jade in NXT because they don't want to hurt developmental talent. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Um I I won't disagree with her being green, but I think it's also about how they are. Yeah, it's so Jade Jade was the face of the women's division in AEW. Yeah. So like that says something though.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't think she's over anything. I know that's what I think. Well, it's because she's not wrestled. Yeah. Like, I mean, okay, so here's here's the thing. You you gotta do something other than let her cut her cut her promos because the the quote unquote unquote I'm that bitch promos are not working. That's all she says. They're not working. They're not working. I like that. I know, but it's not believable because she's not beaten anybody, because she's not having any matches. She hasn't defended the title.

SPEAKER_00:

No, you're right. But it's it's the snarkiness of it. Yeah. No, you're that bitch, you know.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, sure, but is she? See, it could work if they was if they was booking it as like she's acting like that and like choosing to not defend.

SPEAKER_02:

Well, if you could work like that, but if you wanted to be the next Goldberg, do you you she's not because Goldberg wrestled every night.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Goldberg had like 150 matches before he lost it.

SPEAKER_01:

No, it went up 25 every week, but it did go up 25 every week, yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

What Wayne?

SPEAKER_00:

I said, did he really wrestle every night though?

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, Goldberg got paid to be in the ring.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, there you go.

SPEAKER_02:

He doesn't spear and a jack knife every night.

SPEAKER_03:

And kids, today the word of the day is antibiotics. Either Klaybo or Heavy D know what they are.

SPEAKER_02:

I've been taking antibiotics, man.

SPEAKER_01:

This is you ain't finished them though. That's why it ain't working.

SPEAKER_03:

You ain't finished them.

SPEAKER_02:

Um you make me say um too much because you cut off my my train of thought because you're such an idiot. All right. I can't work here anymore. Oh, good thing, Clay Carries. Yeah. That was Clay's response, Jim Carrie. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

All right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Follow figs. I have something that Noah wanted to say. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah. It's a very notes. What? It's just it's just something random, but a realization that I had just yesterday. Um Johnny Knoxville has a better win WrestleMania win percentage than The Undertaker. Fuck.

SPEAKER_02:

100%.

SPEAKER_01:

Johnny is at 100% and Taker is at 92%.

SPEAKER_02:

Clay, who did you beat? Sammy's name. How'd he beat him? Mousetrap. Mousetrap pin. His shoulders weren't even on the mat. It didn't make any sense. Like he pinned him in it, and like uh whoever was calling the match was like, he wasn't really even down. Yeah, it's okay.

SPEAKER_01:

Like I'm I'm probably late to the party realizing it, but it was just like, wow. Uh also shout out Johnny Knoxville, uh, new Jackass Nounce. Yeah, God cannot wait. Super pumped. Twitch and bam's on the cast.

SPEAKER_03:

Nope. Nope. They've already he ain't performing stunts. No, he they they're saying it's gonna be backed footage. They're trying to get him to come back. They only have rights to like backlog footage. The backlog footage, yeah. Yeah, and they're like, bam, we need you. And he's like, no, you know how he is. You're gonna pay me more.

SPEAKER_01:

That's false advertisement. Your false advertisement. Yeah, bigger than shit.

SPEAKER_02:

It's okay. I don't have no more WWE. No, I don't have any more WWE talk.

SPEAKER_03:

I'm trying to think if there was anything else real big, like in the news or anything. Um no. Jack O'Foldesall. Huh?

SPEAKER_02:

Jacko Fuldasol.

SPEAKER_03:

It wasn't, it was WWE. Yeah, yeah. We're all just marks.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Adam Pierce Fuldesall. Is he still on the AEW roster as of yet? Bro, what do I say? If they talk about it, it ain't real.

SPEAKER_01:

It is true.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay, I do have one more WWE. One more. The Rock offered final match at WrestleMania. 43. I heard about that. That's the most Saudi thing ever.

SPEAKER_01:

Exactly. That's the point, Wesley's making it. That's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02:

I got a hand up. Is anybody ready for mine? My worker shoot. Streak. Workers shoot. Saudi Arabia is going to buy the WWE before the end of 2026.

SPEAKER_03:

Shoot.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, that's a shoot. They're going to own it. They're going to own it. It's not even, it's I think this, I think they're testing it. I think a sample taste is Rumble.

SPEAKER_01:

I think Saudi is just going to own all sports by 2030. We're the capitalism level.

SPEAKER_02:

It's really close, but they already got boxing. Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, and UFC. Oh. And PBR. It's all on by TKO. Okay. Oh.

SPEAKER_03:

There's one thing we ain't talked about. Kilt. Kilt. Kit Wilson and his new Titan Tron. Kit Wilson's awesome. That new song that obviously apparently apparently that song he's had since October and we've just not paid attention because there was not any good Titan Tron graphics. And now it's like, hey, you wanted to boo this guy, and everybody loves him dancing to his music.

SPEAKER_02:

Hey, I've been high on those dudes forever. Are you kidding? I think they're amazing. I think pretty deadly is so good. Elton Prince's career's over.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. He well, he wants to get back in the ring. I don't know if that's ever gonna happen. Um best thing to happen, worst thing to happen to Elton. Best thing to happen for Kit because Kit's over, but Elton just had double neck fusion.

SPEAKER_02:

So Kit is doing tax toxic masculinity, uh, toxic masculinity gimmick, right?

SPEAKER_03:

Yes. Um his ring gear is um also he's huge.

SPEAKER_02:

I don't know if you guys know or not, but he's a he's a fucking man. He's like 6'6, he's gigantic. That move of his He's awesome.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah, uh, it might have been the was it the Cardona match that he was it Cardona the felt? Yeah, I think it was that. But his move, like it he like it looks like he was going for a twist of fate, and then just it was like a rolls, like a crossbody rolling DD tier. Like it was so weird, but but neat. I was like, I had to rewatch it. I was like, what the fuck?

SPEAKER_02:

His gimmick just feels indie. He does all the time.

SPEAKER_03:

He modeled his um his new gear, his new ring gear and walkout gear is Harry Styles.

SPEAKER_02:

That checks out.

SPEAKER_03:

So like it's exact it's exactly a Harry Styles outfit that he did in a concert. Yeah. And they're like, hey, you know, just make it into a vest that I can take off.

SPEAKER_02:

That tracks. That's fair. Did you watch that, Wayne? Did you say what do you think about Kit?

SPEAKER_00:

I I like it. Um I'm I'm trying to think of that move though. I didn't see the move for sure.

SPEAKER_02:

I'm gonna have to go back and look at the move too.

SPEAKER_01:

I think it was it was for sure. I think it was the ending, the the ending uh sequence.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, because yeah, it was the finish, yeah. Cardona. Also, boys, I'm gonna tell you, I know everybody glazes him, but I'm just gonna do it. I fucking love Matt Cardona. Everybody loves him. I just absolutely love him.

SPEAKER_01:

Dude, I've been I've been rocking with him since Eve, since Eve Torres broke his heart.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, you know everybody loves him, everybody's jealous of him, everybody wants to be him.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah. Whoa, whoa, what he's awesome, man. Always ready. Know it. Really, oh man, he's great. He he was that promo, like his promo was good. His matches, I think his matches are his ring work is as good or better than anybody in WWE, man. Yes, like I think his promo work is not on par with a lot of guys, but just because indie promo work is different than WWE promo work, right? You're doing it for a cam in WWE. Yeah. Um, but his in ring work, man, is just nuts. I love hearing him talk. I love hearing him talk, and and then, you know, we share the same heart of wrestling figures. Yeah. That's just a very charismatic guy.

SPEAKER_03:

Bishop Dyer. Chef Bishop. Chef Bishop. Okay, uh he was talking about the Don Callis family to AW and how many members there are, you know, because they got like 14 people or something. Yeah, it looks like the NWO. Okay, seriously, seriously listen to this though. It was this was solid. He was like, I think they should book it, like he should keep adding people to it until they have like 20 members, and then Omega and Hangman have a team that's like the entire and because they're like yeah, like like NXT, like NXT Invasion, they should do it like that. Oh yeah, yeah, where it's like the whole Don Cowell's family is trying to just take over AEW, and I was like So basically the Nexus, Nexus, oh yeah, which is which is fine. Like I'm I'm good with that. WWE's doing it like done it like 15 times. They do it with DX, they did it, yeah. They do it with DX, they did it with NWO, you know, it's like they're gonna keep doing it. It works though, right? Yeah, took it out of my mouth, right, Wayne?

SPEAKER_00:

That weird COVID faction that lasted for like two seconds.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, yeah, that's real too. Retribution. Retribution, yeah. They took damn chainsaws to the ropes, like, and then nothing came from it.

SPEAKER_02:

You know, why'd you guys do that? I don't really understand.

SPEAKER_03:

Can I just say I love what they're doing with Hangman and Swerve?

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, yeah, Hangman and Swerve are doing sick work right now.

SPEAKER_03:

Amazing.

SPEAKER_02:

We just watched that clip of the chain spot.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh my god, it's so beautiful. Yeah. How many times do you think they had to uh they had to test that? They tried that like 10 times.

SPEAKER_02:

We'll send that to you, Wayne. There's a spot where Hangman uh, I don't know how much AEW you've been keeping up with, but Hangman and Swerve are like whooping everybody in uh so over the ops in the ops, yeah.

SPEAKER_03:

Lethal weapon buddy cop tag team.

SPEAKER_02:

Speaking of AEW, I just picked up a huge AEW wrestling figure collection. Anybody who likes AEW figures, holler at me. I'll see some AEW figures. It's a gigantic collection, it was awesome. Everybody loves it, it's great.

SPEAKER_03:

Breathe breathe, breathe.

SPEAKER_02:

It's really cool though. You need your inhaler. You need your inhaler. Yeah. No, really. Um I can't do that again. Nope. That hurt. Antibiotics.

SPEAKER_03:

Coronavirus.

SPEAKER_02:

Coronavirus. I'm a carrier.

SPEAKER_03:

What was that?

SPEAKER_02:

Yeet. Yeet.

SPEAKER_04:

What?

SPEAKER_02:

I don't have a yeet button anymore. We changed the yeet button to JR. That's better. JR's back. I actually got sick of Yeet. That's why I did it. Like, I was I'm so I got so sick of J. Uso that I was like, we're just gonna remove it.

SPEAKER_03:

But that's another thing. JR's back in uh AEW. I did not know that. Oh, is he? Yeah, he came back. He's announcing again for him. That's wild. Whose place did he take? X Calibur? Um I don't think he's taking a place. I think it's like big events. He comes back to call a match.

SPEAKER_02:

Jesse Ventura. I watched I don't think Jesse Ventura's gonna be back on um Starcade 92, and the announcers were Jesse Ventura and JR. Um that's what we watched.

SPEAKER_01:

God, I bet that was a hell of an announcement.

SPEAKER_02:

During my whatnot stream, we watched Starcade 92 with JR and the it was the most most out-of-pocket, like off the cuff, all the all those terms. Oh, yeah, I'm sure. Because he just said whatever, and JR would be like, what?

SPEAKER_03:

Um so worker shoot. Ventura is gonna be on the next uh Saturday night main event because he just called out Trump.

SPEAKER_00:

I think he's good.

SPEAKER_01:

You don't think he's gonna be on it? Hey, was he at the scene? Was he at the Cena's main event?

SPEAKER_02:

No. Yeah, he did the pre-show.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02:

Oh, I I didn't want we didn't watch the previous show. That's the only time they let him be in there. We didn't watch the pre-show. I know. That's the only time they let him be in there.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he uh he got on live TV and was calling out everything about it. Yeah, I seen that.

SPEAKER_00:

So what'd you say, Mike? I think Jason's done a whole lot of other mess up stuff in his life.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, I mean, I don't think that's the only thing I'm saying about that is because the whole issue with McFoley leaving WWE because of all that, and then he him and McFoley are on the same side now. They're like McFoley sided with him with the words that he's well.

SPEAKER_02:

I mean, he's a democratic governor. Yeah. I mean, like that's everybody knows how he is. That's who he is. Also he's not wrong. But yeah. Um, I don't think it's gonna matter. I think Jesse, because he's not on the show long enough for it to matter, I don't think. Because the pre-show, I mean like we said, we didn't even see the pre-show. Unless he pulls a Kanye West and gets on there.

SPEAKER_01:

I'm gonna let you finish.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I'm gonna let you finish, but I'm the greatest wrestler of all time. Speaking of the greatest wrestler of all time, see my hearing about Nick Hogan. Does he decide he's gonna wrestle? No, he's not doing nothing.

SPEAKER_00:

There's no way that you can wrestle.

SPEAKER_03:

That doesn't work for me, brother. He said he was going to. Then nothing happened. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm not saying I'm gonna be right.

SPEAKER_02:

Okay. Um so yeah, I think the Don Cal, I mean the back to the Don Kallis thing, I love that. I think that would work. And Baron was just talking about that whole storyline, and I was like, yeah, man, I'm here for that. That would actually, I buy all that because Okada is all those dudes are great. Oh, yeah. Oh, let's talk about hey, our um NJPW guy on site, let's talk about uh Tanashi's retirement.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, yeah, yeah. Um and then Honestly, so stoked, happy, thrilled, and all the above that they brought back the version four. Version four IWGP World Heavyweight uh title design. Arguably I'm I think the greatest looking title.

SPEAKER_02:

And did you know that uh did you know that WWE didn't let Shinsuke like Shinsuke couldn't go because of the like because they don't have like the stuff with him, so like Shinsuke and Shinsuke is like that's like his best friend. Oh yeah, I'm sure that's right.

SPEAKER_03:

Who wore his armbands? Who wore Shinsuke's armbands?

SPEAKER_02:

Uh to call the guy who beat him wore wore uh his armbands.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh I want to say it wrong, but take Takashida or Takashita. Takashida.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, he wore he wore his armbands because he couldn't be there.

SPEAKER_01:
