Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns. All right, everyone, we're going to do a quick one. This is The Wrestling Returns. Brian, it hit me to something that happened. When this happened, Friday? Yeah, Friday. Friday on Smackdown. Brock Lesnar took out somebody I hate.

So, we're at work. I don't know if you guys are going to be able to hear this, but we're going to watch it. All right, we see Brock Lesnar carrying Michael Cole. Oh, man, poor Michael Cole. Look at him. Yeah, I forgot what led up to him picking him up, carrying him around the ring. He's holding him like a little kid, carrying him around the ring. Uh-oh, I was walking up the stairs.

You see the week before when Brock split his pants? Yeah. Oh, weak. Oh, I thought he was going to throw him over. I can't be throwing Michael Cole like that. I hate his hair, man. I hated it when he had that little braid or whatever. I wouldn't say this to Brock's face.

He didn't fuck me up, but. Yeah, I heard he's not a people person. He's standing on Michael's foot so he can't get out. Yeah, uh-oh. Everyone's yelling for Sina. He wraps his hand around. Michael Cole's tie, pulling him up. I'll give it to Michael Cole, though, man.

He's getting there now. He comes, he comes, he comes Corey. He's trying to stop Michael Corby and Brock. He's begging with him. And he goes, fuck you. Brock's looking at him like, who the fuck are you? Yeah. All right, this is Fness.

F5, Corey Gray. Dizsha. He sold that. Yeah, he did. He came straight down on his. face. Oh, man. Yeah, I wouldn't even, if I saw him in the wild, I would just keep walking.

I wouldn't even try to stop him. I would just, hey, his ear. He's got that cauliflower ear. Look at that shit. Yeah, they're not, they're not testing, Brock. Uh-uh, hell no. This guy is huge right now. Screaming it to the camera.

Stay there tomorrow. Well, I guess he didn't want to come out. He just laid her face down. Corey's dead. Get that man some help. Oh, man. Where's Michael Cole? Do you run off?

Yeah. I don't even see him anymore unless he's running around the ring. He climb out. Is he looking for him? Yeah. I think so. He's probably hiding behind the desk. Or is he hiding behind the hydrant?

Oh, no. Oh, no. Hydration station. Finally getting some action. Yeah, I guess Logan reacted to this. Oh, did he? Yeah, he's like not the hydration station. Uh-oh.

All the refs jump in. Brock Lesnar. They are. Oh, shit. shit, Corey, he's trying to go back to life. Nope. I fixed him over again.

Another F-5. Just lay there dead, man. Don't even move. All right. That was the end of Corey Graves. That happened. That happened the night before

Russell Palooza. Oh, my God. I think maybe the reason why he's picking up Michael, because, you know, him and John are friends. And he was trying to figure out where John was. So is

Paul Heyman representing him again? I don't know, but that, now that you, we'll talk about it more when we do our Russell Palooza review, but that was cool how he,

the announcer was about to announce Brock, and then Paul Hamon came out of the crowd, or, you know, over there where the, they got their janky little guardrail that always seems to collapse. He came out and did his

Brock Lesnar introduction. All right. We'll watch some highlights. We'll give you a few more minutes. All right. Sina and Brock are going at it. The bell ring. Brock is just going to work. Dizh.

Got Sina in the corner. Dude. Sina's like a ragdaw. I'll give it to him, man. And Brock's fucking huge. he had some bruising and some marks on him after the match

picks up Sina power slam coming yep let me hold your head got him down Sina man at least he doesn't darken himself up he just keeps it real I don't think he can't

shit Brock Lezner is darker than me nobody's darker than Brian Breaker he's an extra tan oh, Sina. He's He tried to come back.

Powering out of the... Yep. Oh, got some Lesnar up. Nope. D's clothesline. Ah. Well, at least Jessica ain't in there. There's the fans.

Everyone, the yellow, uh, Cina shirts. Uh, Suclex. Yep, another one. Brock don't work out legs, does he? I don't think so. His legs are, uh,

little like mine. Oh, no. Oh, that was weak. I like this. Shoulder block, shoulder tackle,

nothing. For another one, do yous, nothing. It's getting some budgeting moves. Oh, nope.

It doesn't work. One more. Oh! Gets Lesnar. Picks them up. F5, or, um,

A. Picks them up again for another one. Ah. But Brock just jumps right back up. The scene is like, nope. One more gets him up. I thought he was going to F5 of them, but nope.

Another A.A. Goes in for the pin. One, two. Nope. Kicks out. Did you see Edge do the tribute to John Cena? Yeah, I did. That was cool.

Yeah, that was respect right there. Oh, he did a tribute to him. Ah. Recently. That's right. He did one of his moves. Oh, shit. Brock got him.

F5. Second one. Dish. Ah. Seen as like a rag doll. Uh-oh. His legs are hella skinny. Yeah, he skips leg day.

Pigs him up again. Another F5. Dizs. He got to stop and take a breath. He's, hurt and like, oh. What was the last time

Brock wrestle? It's been a while, hasn't it? The match with Cody when he tore his shorts. Oh, so it had to have been

like, what, two years? Yeah. He's extra red. Nope, Sina, get him up again. Another one,

Dij. He's only got only a handful of moves. Not even a handful of moves. moose. Brock? Yeah.

You see the kids concerned? Yeah. Oh, man. Oh, gets him up. Is this all he did to him the whole match? Pretty much.

That and suplexes? This is pretty much the whole match. How long was it? Was it like a few minutes or? Less than 10. Oh. Oh.

Less than 10 and it opened. Oh my gosh Well one two three that was it now cut to the one kid crying Are they gonna show them? They might still a few more time Oh look there he is I was like where's the green shirt guy Oh oh

Seen is laying there dead Hulk still rules Oh he picks up the ref oh shit ah DGGF5 he's about to pick him up by his belt tosses out. A week! Ah! Roll out of the ring, bro. Uh-oh. Fixed up seeing it again.

Another F5. I think this is when it cuts to the crowd. Ah, that's a week. Well, there's quite a few kids in tears. There's one. You can see the father trying to explain to the kid that he's okay. Damn. Well. Well, finally I saw Corey Graves in action.

I haven't seen him in action in a while and he got his ass beat good. Yeah, I know you don't like him, but I like to see him and make one run because I like to see him retire on his own terms. What happened to him? Concussions. No, that's right. But wasn't he an MMA fighter two? I think so. I know he was in NXT for a while.

All right. is this not on your screen anymore no okay all right well now we know how to do it so took me a minute but yeah i don't have to listen back to it i don't know if the audio was there but uh coy graves and yeah i haven't i haven't seen russell pauloz yet everyone so we're giving you this for now until it's just Spoilers on our wrestle Paloza review. It just felt not important

for something that's kicking off a whole new what, they say, like, error. What, weakness? Man. Yeah, just nothing special about it. I guess we're recording this on what we started. No, that's early in the morning

on the 23rd of September. WrestleMania tickets went on sale. yesterday. Well, for the, my friend's a season ticket holder to the bitch-ass Las Vegas Raiders.

And he messaged me like, hey man, I'm going to get tickets. All right, well, let me know. Dude,

it was 800 bucks. And the nosebleeds for two days. I went, what? I said, did you get him? He's like,

hell no. I'm like, if it's could cost 400 400 plus with all the stupid service charges and all that. To be in the nosebleeds I'm like God damn I mean is TKO they're getting greedy

they fucked everything up that's crazy and this I ain't I ain't watching the next one live either you heard of the the one in Australia the Crown Jewel when's that shit on the 11th of October and that's just going to be like four or five in the morning for us yeah yeah that's what happened the last time when they were there I just happened to wake up I was at my friend's house I woke up in the middle of the night went to the bathroom

and then I laid back down looked at the time I don't remember exactly it was sun was still down and I was like, well, let me just get on to see what's happening. Right when I opened it up, it was right when Mommy's matches started. So I just turned the volume on. I was watching on my phone. I turned the volume all the way down. And so I watched that match live. I couldn't hoot and holler because my friend, her little house is like one room.

you see Ria on stage with that band that band but you see art came out yeah that was cool well she finally got she finally met him um the director and

um damien leone yeah and the guy that plays art the clown um yeah friend of the show yeah david howard thornton yeah she finally finally met him and she was on

what's his name's podcast that van fleet guy she was saying I want to be in the movie so if anyone knows them I'll be at it I just she said she doesn't care if she's killed off in the first five minutes yeah she just wants to be in it

I mean I hope they take that in consideration I mean as big as she is she's got art tattooed on her yeah so I'm sure they'd have to cover that up but yeah put her in it man it'd be good to see

mommy on the big screen. Don't cover mommy up. So, we'll see. When's that next one coming out? Is this supposed to supposedly be the last one? Yeah, it's supposed to be the last. It's going to give us a little bit more an art's backstory and it's

supposed to be more gorier than the previous ones. Do we need a backstory on him? I think he wants to do it since it's the last. Well, it better be a good story and not something stupid. I mean, with everyone giving each other backstories and the Friday the 13th one that's coming,

I'll watch it. You guys know, I'm a big, huge Friday 13th fan, so I'll check it out. I think it's going to be good. It better be. It's got a, what's her name as Mrs. Voorhees? Velma Yeah

I love Linda Cardellini Yeah I love her So I'm I'm all yeah Me and my daughter We just rewatched Uh

What's that show She was freaks and geeks That's right she was The shit that was Hella hell of hell of people In that one Yeah That's why I showed my daughter

It Because I was like You're gonna recognize A lot of people Yeah Franco and We don't talk about Franco

Yeah What's his nuts um rogan rogan and the other guy yeah what happened to him did he get canceled

he was doing who Franco yeah no I know he did but oh jason seagel yeah he was doing that show that ended and how I met your mom is that still on

it's over last thing I saw him in was um Sarah Marr one. Oh, uh, forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Yeah, that's the last thing I've seen him in. I liked him in, uh, I love you, man, with Paul Rudd. Oh,

that's right. Was that before or after? Take it was after. Okay. Well, I guess that was the last thing. I never watched that show. Did you?

No. I met your mother. The only thing I've seen is just clips. That one, uh, that one when they had, um, Johnny.

um, William Zapka. Yeah. Because, uh, NPH, wanted the karate kid to come to, to his,

his birthday party. And when he showed, when Ralph Banchio showed up, he was like, not him. He wanted Johnny to be there. If you got to have no idea what we're talking about, look up that clip,

that shit's hell of funny. Is that before Cobra Kyle? Yeah, it was way before. yeah she was a little point i never seen the show i just again just those clips but all right everyone that was uh we give you something for wrestle returns bonus yeah i got to either get a vpn or shell out the thirty dollars um because that's what the stephanie said mcmans she goes just get a vpn and watch

yeah they were not happy about that either if that works I'm gonna I'd rather pay what was it like four or five bucks for BP ed compared to 30 yeah because you can overseas they watch it on Netflix because I'm sure I would watch that more

because I know from what my friends tell me I mean, a lot, most of the stuff, I mean, of course, all the shows and everything, Netflix shows are over there, but they said there's different movies on there as well. Yeah. Like maybe movies that we don't have over here yet, but it's showing on their Netflix. So I think I'm going to go that route and see if that works. And I don't know. But I'm just, this is stupid.

I mean, just should have just, it was fine on Peacock. I mean, other than all the Peacock stuff and so was all that going to stay there or are they switching it over to ESPN? I think it's staying. I think because NXT has no mercy coming, I think, in a couple weeks or next week. I thought that was on Tooby. I think if you want to watch it live, you got to have Peacar. I don't know they're w w w e's all over the place because they said the saturday night's main event is still going to be there yeah oh w e network come back yeah man what was wrong with that it was only the 99 or whatever that was the best yeah but tk o they got these streaming platforms paying them millions of dollars why are they such in the hole and Who thought this was a good idea to take all that debt?

I don't think they're in the hole. All these deals they're signing, all these record-breaking numbers they're doing, the merchandise. I don't think that's true. I don't know, man. If it's something's going on over there, someone's pulling the wool over our eyes. and because it's

crazy paying $400 to sit in the nosebleeds for us I mean it probably makes sense to say they're in the hole that's why they got to

up ticket prices and you got to pay $2,99 to watch PLEs on ESPN sounds good for them but I don't I don't know it kind of sounds like

some bullshit to me oh man because I want to know because I have Disney and the Hulu bundle. Yeah, well Hulu's going away next year.

They're combining it with Disney Plus. It's just going to be Disney Plus. Oh, okay. Which makes no sense because Hulu's got like the number one show of the year. What?

Alien Earth? It is the number one show? Well, I mean... The number one show to me. I like it. Are you watching the...

Fuck. Sylvester Stallone. Tulsa. Yeah, I saw the first episode. Yeah. I love that show. Yeah. But Alien Earth, I like what's happening, but

they still need to give me a good reason why no one knows about the the xenomorph. But, I mean, I could see nobody does know, except for everyone that knows about them on that island

because no one saw inside that spaceship. Yeah. So, I don't know. We'll see. But we never hear this kid, this young kid that created Neverland, I guess.

That island. I don't know. The boy genius? Yeah. him. I hate that guy. His death's going to be so satisfying. Yeah, I want him to die, but don't kill him off this season.

If this show goes years or seasons, and then then kill him off. Let him ride for a while. I think that one thing is going to get him with the eyeball. Ooh, that's like this, other than the xenomorphs and all that, I think that's the scariest thing because it doesn't

kill you. Well, it will if it, some of you have no idea what we're talking about watch alien Earth yeah that thing gets inside your your head but uh

I think if it comes out I think then you'll die of course yeah big hole inside of your head so I think it's going to jump in his head oh man so I want to know if I add the ESPN to what I already have

is it a total of 38 or is it yeah total 38 oh it's not whatever I'm paying now plus another 30 no it's whatever the bundle is oh okay so

I'm like do I got to cancel what I have and then get this bundle again no it's just you switch over to the bundle and then when you click to you know review what your total cost is it's just going to tell you what you owe today and then it's going to tell you

what your next bill is going to be let me see and I think you don't even need the ESPN app because after I watch Ressa Paloza on the ESPN app we were going to watch something on Hulu

and it said Ressa Paloza watch replay on what? ESPN? On Hulu on Hulu? Yeah, so I think if you get

the ESPN added into your bundle I think it would automatically shows up on Hulu. Well, it's probably not there now. Yeah. But you just see what pops up. Oh, you got to unlock it.

You bastards. Man, Triple H, man. Just because you got all the money in the world. It's not him. It's that con guy. Did you... Did you see that?

It was a fake tweet. it wasn't uh viz McMahon he said something like how do i get to watch wrestle faloosa so i don't know somebody did it on yeah twitter because i've been reading stuff there sounds like they're about to get triple h out of there why they're just not liking what he's doing right now he started out fine but he's not in charge he's just in charge of he just runs creative he don't run wwee well i mean i like what he's doing i mean he could have did a better job on wrestle peluza

but i like i like what he's been doing yeah but stephanie's going into the hall of fame next year yeah that was weird the way they did it yeah why i mean undertaker come out have a weird conversation with her did she know she heard look on her face at first i was like this is all scripted but then her look on her face looked like she didn't know why she was out there why she was supposed to be out there they probably just go sit out there next to undertake her yeah but i mean she deserves to be in there i mean she's been in in the business for many years

She got it. 30 years at least. Yeah, in ring action. If you can put stupid kid rock in there, I mean, he ain't done shit. But Ozzy's even in there. Rest in peace to the Blizzard. Shane isn't in there yet, is he?

No, I guess his son was tweeting out that they need to put him in there. They have to. But I heard he's not in good terms with them. I don't know what happened with all that because when he came back, I was,

ah, yeah. When he blew his knee out? No, when he first came back. Oh, when he tried to book the Royal Rumble himself. Yeah.

Pissed everybody off. Oh, man, that was funny. Because when his music hit, uh, someone, they went,

the internet went to work quick. the clip I saw why I saw it live when it happened but the clips was like it goes parents had a lot of explaining to do because even my son was like who is this I was that shaving man and Shade O'Mac I got my Shain O'Mack my WrestleMania Shain O'Mack shirt when it was in Dallas when he went up against the Undertaker and just got destroyed well he destroyed himself jumping off the cage. And do his little punches? Oh, he did those, but after he fell off the cage, that was it.

He was, he got thrown around a few more minutes, but I was just like, dude, you're done. You should have just laid on that table and had the paramedics come get you because he was not moving around good. Those are you to remember that WrestleMania. But anyway, we're, that was it for this episode. I don't know how long it is, but we had to give you something until I can watch.

watch Russell Palooza so hopefully within the next few days um I'm gonna try the VPN first but if it works it works but doesn't then I might have to kill me but I don't know but all right everyone that is it for for this little quick bonus one so but we'll be back for more so until then be safe out there and party on and be good to each other
