Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to another episode of the wrestling returns.
Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the wrestling returns.
I'm your host, Brian, with me as always, is my brother, Ness.
What's up, man?
I'm good, man.
Life's getting in a way, everybody.
But we're back.
Shout out to everyone, listen to the last horror returns as well as,
the action returns quick review I did of the debt collector and what was the new show we're doing
28 years later no oh the show the new show we did frightful reflections yeah check that one
now we've covered uh 1980s uh friday 13th I want to do another one
soon hopefully I don't know I was trying to get Mike but he's
got stuff going on.
So I'll let you know when we're done with
here. But
WWE,
Night of Champions,
Saudi Arabia,
Riyadh.
Can't remember the name of the
was it a soccer stadium
or something that they were in or?
Fucking
Kingdom Arena.
Yeah, whatever they have there.
I don't know. They were saying all kinds of stuff that they had
there, but
oh man.
I've said this many, many times when the WWE universe and other parts of the world, man, they were just as hyped and they were loud.
So I thought that's always a plus.
I know there was talks of them canceling it because of the war that's going on over there.
I had to look at a map to actually see where Riyadh was compared to Iran and all that.
I mean, on the map, it doesn't look very far, but I'm sure it's pretty far.
I know there's some water between them, but even still, man, those missiles get wrong calculations.
I'm sure they can shoot off course, but thankfully everybody is good.
Nothing happened.
And I know they had some layover issues.
I guess when the production crew went over first.
They got stuck in some airport somewhere because the bombing started.
I guess so they were there for, I don't know, hours and hours,
but they were able to get out and get the show going.
But it went off without any issues.
And like I said, man, the WWE universe in Riyadh, man.
They showed up in full force, man.
I mean, I've said this before as well.
Other parts of the world always put us here in America to shame.
when it comes to how loud and hype they are.
I mean, but I get it, man.
I've said this too, man.
They get it every now and then.
Not like us and we're spoiled and we're getting it at least twice a month now.
What's the next one?
Evolution and Saturday Night's Made Event?
Saturday Night's Made Event Evolution and NXT something all the same weekend.
Yeah.
That um
it's the end of the next weekend isn't it?
No yeah
Oh is it?
Yeah, it's next weekend
Yeah
Hmm
They put on three events
The same weekend as AEW puts on their event
Oh man
I haven't even watched anything on Max
Have you,
but AEW?
Yeah, they've been doing some
Probably their best stuff in a while
Do they put their
their PLEs, pay-per-views, whatever on there?
Not right away.
Okay.
Because I keep forgetting that they're over there.
But then I see clips and everything on the bottom says Max or HBO, whatever the hell.
They're changing it too.
But Night of Champions, what did you think of the night of wrestling?
I thought majority of it was fucking boring.
I did not like the Cody Rhodes being involved in the
neither one of them Cody and Randy I always felt like King of the Ring
money in the bank those should be for the the next up-and-comers
the future champs the Rio Ripley Raquel Gonzalez was probably
one of the best matches carrying cross I don't understand
what they're doing with this guy
this guy has got himself over with the fans and they're just underusing him in every way possible.
I didn't understand the reason for this match.
Because it was supposed to be dumb, dirty Dom, but he got hurt, air quotes.
Did you see the segment on Raw?
No, I miss.
I haven't watched Raw yet.
Yeah, AJ went up to Dom and he was like, I got Shabetical report right here.
See right here it says
punk ass
scared punk ass or something like that
yeah he didn't want to go over there
so they had to
I don't I don't think anybody should have to
if they didn't want to
yeah so he got hurt
so
oh man they were lighting him up on X
Twitter whatever you want to call it
saying it's pussy hurt
or his wife wouldn't let him
or what's her name
your girl live
told him to keep his ass here
oh since last time
we talked about her she got injured
turns out she's going to be gone
for quite a bit of time
yeah I mean I saw
that injury it looked like
she came on right
down on it and
I'm sure it was just
bound to happen I mean
as much as they use their bodies
and everything and
yeah
and I mean
And from what I understand, they were about to give her a big push.
And it was going to start with evolution.
And it's to the point where when she got hurt, they had to rework.
They had to scrap everything that they had going for evolution to rework the whole PLE.
I'm surprised they didn't make them drop the belts.
I mean, Raquel's walking around two of them.
And that's one picture that, uh, what's her name?
Roxanne was holding it.
I was like, hmm.
Oh, they put her, she's replacing live.
They should have just dropped the belt and did it over.
And then maybe they could have won, but.
It's setting up a thing for evolution.
I guess their matches for them to keep the belts.
They have to, it's a fatal four-way, them against a team from Raw,
a team from Smackdown, and a team from NXT.
Damn, most NXT win.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Is the queen coming out and going to do something?
What was the last time we saw her, WrestleMania?
She's been having something with Alexa Bliss.
Like, they have some thing going on between each other.
I don't know why.
Whatever.
Yeah, I don't know who's doing all this.
Who's doing all the booking because it's,
Yeah, I was with you, man.
I mean, I was excited for it all, but, I mean, the first match out, I mean,
Cody and Randy Orton, I was kind of like, oh, really?
That's what we're doing.
And I'm still like...
I mean, we all know who's going to win.
Of course.
That's why I was like, really?
This is what, uh...
Oh.
Got my window open.
Someone must be standing too close.
Yeah, I smell something.
It ain't my son.
He's in the living room.
Watch TV with his mom watching the squid game.
So it's either my neighbors or somebody.
I don't know.
But, yeah, this match was, uh,
yeah, we knew who was going to win.
I mean, Randy, awesome, but this was kind of unneeded.
And I'm with you, man.
It should have been for, I mean, some people, some up-and-comers.
Push them a little more.
Yeah.
Because every PLE, whatever you want to call it, it's the same stuff over and over.
And then Monday on Raw, which I haven't seen yet, but usually it's the same match as over again.
Yeah, I'm looking at.
who was in the King of the Ring tournament
that probably should have been in the finals.
We had Braun Breaker, Dominic Mysterio,
Penta, Sammy Zane,
Alistair Black, Carmelo Hayes,
L.A. Knight, you know they're not giving him no win.
Randy Orden, Andrade,
Cody Rhodes, Damien Priest,
and Shinski Nakamura.
Damn.
I can tell you at least four or five people
that probably would have benefited
from being King of the Ring.
Man, I mean, Cody, at some point he doesn't get the bell back.
I'll be happy if Randy got it for whatever reason.
But yeah, yeah, I mean, just there's no need to put the crown on either of these two.
Not to say that they're bad, man.
They've definitely earned their place.
But yeah, man, just we've seen this before.
But watching this now, it's to see.
and how hype the crowd is
it was probably fan service
for Riyadh
I mean because they were on their feet
and like I said they were loud
and just going off
and I love that they went back to the big giant
stage. Not us
we get the flat on the ground
small stage
but they had the big ramp and everything
so they rolled out the red carpet
for them definitely
but yeah
this match it started out slow did randy really heard his back because after he fell on his back he
just kind of i think they did like a superplex and they tried to sell the the turnbuckle thing
yeah and he didn't even hit his back he hit his ribs but i guess it was so devastating to his
back i think it did like a superplex first that's what started off the back because he came down
He's the one that flipped Cody and then he was,
uh,
and we're all old, everyone, and everything hurts.
Dude, that made my back hurt.
I went, oh, that's why I couldn't do what these guys do.
I know I'm older than the majority of these guys,
but I'm like, hell now.
Even if I was in the best shape of my life right now,
there's no way I could do what these men and women are doing in the ring.
I mean, at one point in the beginning of the match, man,
everybody was so hyped that they had to stop and just take it all in because everyone has their
phones out and the lights and they're all hooting and hollering cody and uh randy just stopped and looked
around and just kind of started smiling at each other so good for them and charles robinson
that in charles robinson is in there he an all-star we'll get to him later on yeah get that man a doctor
Hell yeah.
Put him in the Hall of Fame a few times.
Oh, man.
I just recently watched Ready to Rumble.
I forgot he was in it.
He was one of the reps in it.
So he's an actor.
But again, they do what they do.
And it's cool.
But,
CBS Sports
rated this one a B
but
yeah I'm okay with it
there was nothing really
too spectacular
with this one
I mean because it just
Randy baby
and his back
through the whole match
and of course
the Cody Cutters
and
what's his move
Crossroads
about to say
sister Abby Kim
but yeah the
crossroads rest of
peace pray and what's up with that
the what are they calling them
the Wyatt 6
yeah with Bo Dallas and
Nikki and
the other ones
I love Nikki
almost superhero
I liked all that I don't know
what some of you hated that
that was her idea
and I loved it I was all about
Dickie it was cool at first
but then it just it went a little too
long. I did like
when she turned the heel
at the rumble and she took
out Molly Holly.
Or Mighty Molly.
She had the belt for a second.
So good for her.
But now that she's a part
of them and how she looks. Yeah.
I'm on. Give me
more.
I like that.
I want Alexa Bliss to go back to how she
was when she was all spooky and
crazy looking. But
she's just.
kind of her thing's kind of like a mixture
yeah that and uh what was it uh
the what was she the goddess
yeah
because when she came in I was hanging
she's some some little blonde cutie
that was about all I thought of her but
as she went on and she turned hill
and then did all that with Bray I thought that was awesome
I loved all that and then
then we lost it which was
I mean
it sucks
I mean there's been a lot of good talent
that uh female and male
that we've lost but
he was too young
I didn't I didn't think
well I mean
we never know when it's our time
but man
that one was kind of devastating
I mean nothing hit me harder than
uh
hot rod
Roddy Piper that one
ooh
man
just
thinking about it
I mean, he's here in my heart, and I know he's here with us all watching wrestling all the time, but he did a good thing for my family, and I'll never, I'll never forget it. Awesome, awesome man. I've talked to him on the phone. I wish I could have met him. I never did. I wasn't go to wrestle con when I went to one of those wrestlingias, and he was there, but I didn't get to. My friends were boring. They didn't want to go.
but yeah this match it's they do what they do like I've said but it just it was nothing special
really I was kind of on my phone during a lot of it I did like the the Randy Hill turn teases at the end
and Cody was trying to give him his flowers was a little interview and you see Randy in the
background looking at him like motherfucker
I did like the
the Cody cutter that went into an RKO
I thought that was cool it was a little sloppy
but it was still cool
because glad
glad they caught it this time
yeah remember the
the what was it the
AA? Yeah
into the into the RKO and
Michael Cole didn't even catch it
I mean
something
Sometimes, I mean, I know these Cameron, they can't be everywhere, but yeah, sometimes they, you know, catch it.
The last, the biggest one that still makes me mad is when Edge came back and he came in, spare, spare, but we missed like the first one.
And I was like, ah, when it was alive.
Big Zaggy entranceway.
Oh, I don't like.
I was trying to find him.
I don't like that one.
when they do the
Royal Rumble and baseball fields
you know what I want to watch again
the
the
everything
when there was all at the performance center
WrestleMania money in the bank
raw rumble
I want to kind of go back and watch
those again
before they added all the
TV screens and the
the noise because I saw a clip
was it today or yesterday I can't remember
I think it was today
and
shit
it was our truth
Ron Killings
and Bobby Lashley
and it was so quiet
in there
I'm glad they kind of added
the noise in the TV screens
because yeah
when watching wrestling every week
during lockdown and everything
that was weird
that was a weird time
I was like the only sports entertainment
that kept going
everyone else
is that when
Ray
Ray Mysterio got thrown off the roof
and money in the bank
I was supposed to think he died
Oh that was when once
when he found out she was pregnant too
And just gave the title to Oscar
When she won
Which was fine
But yeah
When Ray went off
That defeated the purpose of the briefcase
Yeah but
I mean
what could you do?
I mean, she was pregnant, so
couldn't do much.
Oh, man. Yeah, this
match is dragging.
It got exciting towards the end
when Randy started doing
the RKO's left and right.
And again, fan service, because if you do
pay attention to the back, man, everybody was
jumping up and down,
holding their heads and just
going off.
So, I mean, that's,
that's what that's what a lot a lot of stuff i was watching was it was all the background stuff so
but yeah yeah but cody yeah he ended up uh pulling it out i mean it took a minute but
some people were mad that this this match was first and i'm like well this it was there was a
roof over this place right uh yeah okay well he's wasn't as hot as that one when
Goldberg almost killed Undertaker.
Yeah, I know what Matt should have been first.
We'll get to that one later.
But yeah, Randy, I mean, it was okay.
I mean, nothing too excited with this one.
But yeah, Cody Rhodes ended up pulling it out.
What was the next one?
Ria Ripley and Raquel Rodriguez and a street fight.
I thought they were going to go out into the
into the street, into the audience.
I mean, they didn't.
It wasn't really much of a street fight.
Yeah.
I mean, they had some Kendo sticks and some tables.
Speaking of tables, I was watching Chris Van Fleck or whatever's name,
his show on YouTube
and he had somebody on a camera
somebody from the WWE.
None of the wrestlers was one of the
background guys.
And he asked him
what was the worst chant
that every time he hears it he just
like, uh, rolls his eyes.
He goes, when they all start
yelling, we want tables.
He goes, I don't know what it is, but I just
I can't stand in it
and it bugs me.
I mean, that's what we want.
I mean, we want tables.
That's what we paid to see.
That's what you just got to go to TLC.
That's when you get it left and right.
This one.
I was surprised that both of them were in all black.
I figured somebody could have had one of them could have had some kind of color.
Well, I mean, Ria, that's her look.
And Raquel, that's like.
the judgment day look i mean they could have i mean it would probably could have purple or something
yeah that's i was i was thinking ria should have but she's not judgment day anymore so i mean
rachel should have had some some purple thrown in there i will have to say this is probably
rakel's best match in a long time i'm hoping that after this it makes it the guys in the
back see it that she can do it.
I know not everyone likes her.
I loved her when she was Raquel Gonzalez,
but this was a good match.
I was excited.
I was kind of like,
because my grandson was like,
well, who are you for?
I was like,
I said, I love both of them,
but of course I got to go with Mommy.
I got to pick her.
Big Mama cool.
She's, I love her and she's awesome and she's a big woman.
She beat my ass.
But I think this, I mean, I've known she can kick ass, but it's just how they, how they book her and how what they tell her.
But if you really think about it, this match made no sense.
It wasn't for anything.
It was just, she's getting revenge for live for something that happened.
and what? How far are we from that storyline?
A long time ago.
Yeah, I was just like what she said, I'm going to give revenge.
I was like, for what?
Liv took her title, took her belt or took her man.
Everything.
Took it all from her.
I was just confused.
I mean, I guess you got to get Ria there somehow.
Yeah, I mean, you got to give them what they want.
I don't know the rules about them showing too much skin.
I mean, that's their country and their rules, so I kind of respect it.
It's a lot better when they used to have to wear T-shirts.
I was thinking that, too.
I didn't like that.
I didn't like any of that.
I thought that they just looked stupid.
Yeah, I was explaining my daughter about when they first wrestled.
And I was like, they're wearing what they have now on.
But they had all, they also had t-shirts on over.
She was like, why?
And I was like, I don't know.
I don't.
It's their custom, I guess.
Got to be covered up.
She was like, but with the outfits they already have on, they're already covered up.
So what were the t-shirts for?
I was like, to be covered up even more.
Raquel was running this.
She was running this match in the beginning.
She was beating the hell out of Mommy.
I mean, she was letting her have it.
Got her tied up in the ropes.
And she was just fucking power slamming her left and right, giving her chops.
She looked good.
Yeah.
She looked like how she's supposed to look.
This is why we hired you.
Get in there and kick ass.
And she's more of just an enforcer.
But yeah, when she's on her own, I mean, that's why I've always liked her.
So I'm with it.
I mean, just keep doing it.
I mean, it sucks that she has to deal with her skin issues.
And I was glad that she was all right because I figured, I mean, the heat bothers my skin.
And I'm just talking about it feeling itchy.
But because it's hot in here.
I had to turn the cooler off in the hallway because it was a little loud.
But yeah, man, she was bringing it to her.
She was letting her having it.
So I knew she wasn't going to win, but I was just like, just give us a good show.
I really thought she got hurt because when Mommy was all tied up in the ropes,
Raquel tried to hit her with the chair.
But Ria, like, booted the chair, and that chair looked like it slammed her hell of hard in the head.
Didn't even give her time to get up.
She was on her hands and knees, and Mommy came full speed, both boots, kicked her right out of the
Lorraine.
And she was a champ, man, Raquel,
because when she took that head first
into the steel stairs,
man, she was selling it.
Both of them were, man.
So I think, yeah, I think it was the only
match that I was really going, ah, screaming.
And I was with my grandson.
I was like, who are you going for?
So, but
I liked how
Ria put the Night of Champions
little table logo over on
little wheat corner that always breaks.
There was no love for the Saudi Arabian announce table.
They cleared it all off.
And mom, he started going to work,
throwing Raquel all over the place.
But yeah, those guys, man, they jumped up quick.
And where was, um, what's his done?
Corey's dumb ass.
Was he there or he didn't go?
I don't know who the announced team was.
We had Bad News Barrett and Michael Cole.
Yeah, because Pat McAfee's doing his football thing now.
Yeah, some people thought he got fired.
I said, no, he's doing his football stuff.
He ain't.
Yeah, he also took a couple weeks time off for himself.
Yeah, he's busy, especially with WWE.
Yeah, he's got dad's got college football.
got his podcast
yep
oh
I kill
power slammed
mommy into that little
uh
thing that just
there was on the table
dude she's like
her body took most
most of the impact
on the on the little
banner thing
but her head went
right to that rubber
hella hard
looks like she threw her a little too far
I don't know who that guy
Ooh, she's lucky that
She didn't hit her head on that big case
That was right there in the corner
There was a dude sitting there
And he just jumped out of the way really fast
Pulled his legs up
So mommy's laying there all beat up
Raquel
Goes to work and brings out the table
And everyone
Ah
Everyone lost it
So
Yeah, Ria hit her head hard
She's still laying there
all in the back of her head
because you see it
when they show the replay
man the back of the head
just slammed
onto that rubber
I think at that point
they need to put
some kind of
because they always
crash through that
that corner
or either crash through it
or over it
I think they need to put
some kind of
a little thicker
padding of something
not this
this rubber stuff
that's around the rain
that's got no kind of gives
school gym mats
something
because they always
use it.
Raquel set up the table
in the corner and she's slamming Mommy
all over the place.
Oh, I thought her outfit was black.
It's like a dark,
Raquel's like a dark blue.
Uh-oh.
She's pulling the steel stairs off.
Getting ready to hit her.
I thought this was cool right here.
I thought she was going to hit her with it first,
but she picked it up and set it on the
side of the ring and
she was going to slam Mommy.
She stopped her and then slammed her head onto it.
Thankfully, the ref was there because when Raquel hit that steel stairs with her head,
it like moved and it was getting ready to fall.
She even looked like she put her hands up like she was going to stop it,
but the ref grabbed it really fast.
Yeah, he comes in key later on in the match too.
Oh, yeah.
And the mommy pulls off her belt and starts going to work on her.
She's like, bitch, I'll give you this.
She starts slapping her.
Uh, yeah, scripted or not, I don't care.
They, they're swinging these things full force and they still hurt.
Hitting her ass, hitting her in the stomach.
Raquel's crying and the crowd's screaming.
They're all hype.
Raquel rolls back into the ring.
Mommy slides in.
Wush, starts hitting her again.
Does she hurt her side?
She keeps holding her side, Ria.
So she's just whipping the shit out of Raquel in the corner.
And she starts grabbing her.
yeah with the
the razor's edge
she picks up Raquel
she's a big gal too
back of her head
and her mommy
kick to the side of the head
she goes down
go for the pen
one two kick out
this is what we wanted
the first match
and we didn't get it
we had some guys
old men rolling around
shit I thought Ria was in her
30s she's still like
mid-20s maybe
maybe close to 30
she is
28
yeah shit
she's still young
I hope she
can go
do this for a long time
but
I don't know
we'll see
she had been out a few times
for being hurt
so we'll see
I was listening to her episode
on the Chris Van Flea episode
buddy or lucky man
the way she was talking
I think she's nasty
dumb ass
um
Roxanne
cute
beautiful you don't like Roxanne
beautiful young woman but
she's getting on my nerves
I'm waiting for Raquel just to beat her ass
we'll see
I thought mommy was going to get her
but Raquel brung it to her
and booted her
and she grabs her
and then mom
He picked her up.
Ah,
dej.
Ah, mess up.
They're probably all sweaty on that
slick outfit or whatever the hell they're wearing.
Whoa.
Slammed Roxanne on the ground.
She was NXT, wasn't she?
Well, they're all wearing.
Roxanne?
Yeah.
Yeah, she was a two-time champ.
That's right.
Uh-oh.
Mommy brings out the garbage can.
I like how they just take the handles
off of these things
and the handle off the lids.
Uh-oh.
Running up.
Put it on Roxanne
and kicked it.
She's laying there.
I'll beat up inside the garbage can.
Oh, there she is.
Raquel came back to life.
Wow.
Picks up Mommy.
Runs her and slams
her shoulder first into the
pole.
She climbs back in the ring.
goes after mommy picks her up throws her against the ropes
Dizuah head first into the steel stairs
Uh oh
Can out of the way ref
Raquel climbs up second rope
What was that? It was like a spinning
Uh
Spinning splash I know she instead of coming down
And a chish came down on her back
Right on top of her
But then Ria kicked out
Ooh
Yeah when Ria hit that thing
The chair
this she stuck her hands up before her head hit it so that was good uh-oh back on their feet
rakel's picking up mommy mommy's all dazed it's getting ready to throw her into the table
but then who reverse drichael just grabbed stopped herself hitting on the stairs
wop big boot to to mommy drops her to the ground ooh that looked like it connected
tear all the shit out of their face
the ones that have the the piercings
and
and all that
because mommy's got that big
bull ring or whatever
I'm old school I don't like
I don't like those little
ring things
and they go from
nostril to nostril especially that one
that I see a lot of gals
wear now that goes over their nose
I'm old school
boy this girl
Oh, they put the table in the corner flat.
Mommy kicked Raquel in the head.
I guess Roxanne's still in that garbage can dead.
Good, good shot, cameraman.
Oh.
This far, I was just hoping that nothing happened
because when Ria climbed up onto the table in the corner,
it was already bouncy.
I was like, ah.
Oh, the roof comes in the candy right here.
Yep.
He holds it still.
Because I was like, no, don't do it.
You're going to get hurt.
Yeah, let me just crawl up here and help you.
Yeah, he's standing there holding the table for him.
They're just barely balancing.
Let me get you for a riptide.
It's a little sloppy.
Oh, yeah, let me put my arm up for you for you to grab.
Oh, nice shot, cameraman.
Ah.
Rip-tide, and that's it.
One, two, three.
Raquel, she did her job.
She did a good job this match.
Yeah, I mean, out of everything,
this was probably my favorite.
Ria and her joker-looking makeup.
Yeah, she's trying to campaign
to get in Terrify her four.
Yeah, that's what she was saying.
You see as a director,
like commented on her post
what do you say with the little emoji
you know the emoji with the guy that's going
hmm I mean if you just want someone to kill
she even said it she goes I don't have to be a main character
I can just be someone that gets killed
she said kill me
she was saying that yeah me and buddy could be in the gym
working out and art can just come in and kill them
That could be like at the beginning of the movie.
Yeah.
Like before you dive into the story,
I don't even remember the Christmas one.
I just watched it the one time.
We might have to do it this holiday season.
Because I know Taylor and I did the first one years, a few years ago.
I don't think I ever tackled the second.
But I need to rewatch those again.
I haven't seen those in a while.
But did you guys do
Bring her back?
Yeah.
I didn't listen to that episode.
What did you give it?
What score did you give it?
I got to give it like an eight.
Eight and a half.
Oh man,
I loved it.
I thought it was awesome.
I want more.
I mean,
I didn't realize that those two guys
that did talk to me did it.
So I was all about it.
So, I mean, I loved it.
It was,
it was emotional.
And, yeah,
That little Oliver kid, man, he was an all-star,
especially when he was biting that table.
I was like, what's happening?
He was chewing that knife.
Oh, dude, that was, that was crazy.
I mean, but it was good.
I loved what was happening.
Oh, also that little girl, the sister,
she was an all-star, too.
For her first time out, I thought she did an amazing job.
Yeah, Ria, she ended up.
pulling it out
CBS Sports gave that one
a C plus
oh
come on
you gave the first match of B
get the fuck out of here
who did this one
yeah this next one
I love carrying cross he's awesome
I thought he was mad at
at W.W.E. because of
WrestleMania because he lives
in Vegas
I mean, he was, but he saw an opportunity to, like, cut a promo and get himself over,
which he has been consistently been getting himself over with the fans.
His merchandise is like one of the top selling things in the WWE shop.
I just do something with him.
You're wasting it.
I mean, it was cool to bring him in with this match.
good for him
he went over there
and good for the fans and everything
but
stop just having him in the background
with whatever
nonsense they have in between the matches
I mean I throw him in the ring as much as possible
I mean I thought this was gone
I mean it might
because they had him
you know
trying to get Sammy to go to the dark side
and Sammy ends up hitting him
and then
Sammy walks off
Cameron and
his
Karen's wife, Scarlett tells him
okay, you can stop acting now.
We got him
where we want him and I'm just like
does WWE know that?
Because it's not going nowhere.
Scarlett.
Go back to be a lot.
I don't understand why
she's not wrestling.
When I first, when I first seen her wrestle, she was wrestling men.
Like, what's the name?
Johnny Gargano's wife.
Oh, Candice?
Yeah, she was wrestling men.
Oh, excuse me.
I don't, I don't know.
Yeah, she ain't done nothing for, but hang out on the side of the ring.
Yeah, I'm just like, she is a wrestler.
I mean, beautiful young woman, but get in there and do something.
Start to look, I know she can run over some of these gals that are in there, but I don't know.
Maybe she's, well, I guess you just do what they tell you.
I mean, so I don't know.
Who knows?
Maybe she'll get involved.
Hopefully evolution, she'll be in there for whatever reason.
I doubt it.
I mean, it's supposed to have some big battle royal.
Oh, throw her in there.
Sammy Zane's awesome.
But Caring Cross would whoop his ass.
Because Caring Cross is big.
I mean, I don't think I would approach him at the airport.
If he looked at me, I would just nod and keep going.
Because I don't know.
Maybe it's just his character, but he seems like he don't, he don't.
want it.
Because we met
Mark Henry at the
Austin airport.
I assume he lives in Austin because I remember
I flew in there one time and he was there.
I just looked at him and gave him
the nod and kept going.
But we were flying.
Oh no, we just got to Austin.
And we were walking out.
And Eric, I said, look who that is.
And it was Mark Henry.
And I was too scared.
go over there and he was too he goes he my body slam me
he got a body slam you
he wanted to meet him so my wife walked over there
with him and he was still a little guy then
and he was like oh no that's cool so he took a picture with him
so eric was excited i kind of stayed away
and didn't want him to body slam me either
apparently don't uh
don't bother bronson read at the airport
oh no i wouldn't because people
try to harass him about getting autographs.
I guess because he doesn't do autographs at the airport.
Oh, no.
I mean, some of these guys, no, I avoid him.
I just see him and give him the nod.
He had to let him know and leave me alone.
Yeah.
Like, what's his name?
He seems ruthless, but I guess he's cool if you're at the airport.
Simone Werewolf, Jacob Fon Farrup.
Oh, Jacob.
He seems cool.
I've seen some videos of him at the airport, but I think the one...
That guy has seven kids.
Damn.
His...
Oh, congratulations to Roman.
He just had his six kid.
Damn, man.
What about these guys?
Pull-out game is weak.
But...
Yeah, apparently, I didn't know this.
Apparently, Roman has, like, two sets of twins.
God damn.
Because, I guess twins really do run in their family.
Is that why he's...
not around.
He's filming a street fighter movie.
Is that real?
Yeah.
And Cody's gonna be in it too?
That's rumor.
Oh, okay.
I was gonna say.
Romans confirmed.
What about Van Dam?
Bring him back.
And, uh,
I don't even remember who else.
Was, um,
was that the one of Miko?
Her blooded blood out?
Was he?
Yeah.
He was Ken.
go back a few episodes
a couple of years maybe
the action returns we did that one
I still have that steel book wrapped up
I didn't even open it
I just bought it just sitting on the shell
or we're going to have to do the new one
when it comes out I hope so
I hope it's good man I was disappointed
with that last mortal combat
I mean it had some good fight scenes
but
there was no turn
tournament. So I assume we're getting this tournament
in the second one, but I don't know.
Yeah. I saw some
interview. I think it was the producer
was hyping it.
Tell me, because they did like test screenings and I guess
they went really good.
Well, I hope so.
How do we get me? Send us some stuff. We'll watch it.
Yeah.
Carrying Cross is whipping the shit
out of Sammy Zane. He's throwing them
over the ring now he's sitting on top of him just dropping blows and he's just
smiling he keeps pointing them oh Sammy springing the back fine-ass scarlet hooting
and hollering in the corner shout out to those little kids that are right in the
front man they're always on their feet hyped especially that little kid that
when Cody came out and gave him that little belt he was he was he hyped
yeah Sammy's bouncing back yeah he's he's
the crowd favorite everyone
loves sammy zane
i like and he came out i don't know i don't know how to pronounce
it whatever he was wearing when he came out
and everyone was excited yeah
because he's all about that life over there so that's cool man
yeah i like that one year i forgot what event it was
where he spoke to the crowd in their language
yeah that was cool
damn there's hell of people in there
showed a high shot of those people way up in the nosebleeds
but again man when you go to these things i
know it's expensive to be close, but
just to be in the building is
fun enough.
I don't know about
WrestleMania next year. I asked my buddy, you going?
He goes, I don't know, I spent too much money
the last one because
they're doing it in Vegas again.
Did we talk about that?
About them doing it in Vegas
the second year in a row?
If we did, I don't remember.
Yeah, I don't like that.
Because it was supposed to be in New Orleans,
wasn't it?
Yeah.
I don't know Cairns, his moves, the names of his moves, but whatever he did.
And he picked up Sammy.
Looks like he jumped and slammed him.
But the Raiders Stadium, it looks cool.
Big giant hockey puck.
But fuck the Raiders.
But if it's going to be good for business, they made a ton of money.
everybody got paid there hotels
uh uber lift drivers everyone
which which is cool man
to support all those guys that
are out there hustling
but
I assume you would make money at
anywhere you have
oh wrestling
oh that he fucking dropped
uh Sammy on his head
I was for as much
uh punishment
the Sammy Zane gets.
I'm surprised he's still
doing this because
yeah, he takes
all the beating. I still go back
to that match with him and
Kevin Owens when he almost killed
him in NXT.
Ah,
Sammy picked him up.
Kerry is a big guy,
man, he's at least six something.
But
Vegas,
they're just trying to make money.
I don't understand.
understand this merger with TKO
and them in
billion dollars in
debt and I don't know
I don't know whose idea that was
to take it over
but do they own it or
yeah TKL owns it
all right
well we'll see
TKO owns WWEE
and UFC
why they have
so much money
I mean I
They're just spending too much
And thinking that
Well, UFC and WWE do make a lot of money
So
We'll see
And where's the rock at?
The final boss?
He just
When was the last time we saw him?
Was that before WrestleMania?
When John, John, John Cena turned?
What was that?
Elimination chamber?
I think so.
Oh, carry across.
You hear Royal Rumble is going to be in Saudi Arabia.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
I mean, good for them.
And then the only good thing for us is, it's early.
Yeah.
So this was one o'clock for you, eight, nine o'clock for like you and me.
Oh, it's different.
No, it was, this was, it was 10 o'clock.
I think it was nine o'clock for you.
Yeah.
So, but I was all about it.
I was in there hooting and hollering and my wife was all mad.
What are you doing?
I'm watching wrestling.
So why are you yelling?
I said, this is live.
She went, why?
I said, they're in Saudi Arabia right now.
That's why it's on so early.
She rolled her eyes and went back to bed.
When I woke my grandsons up, they came in,
and they watched a little bit, and then they got bored and went outside.
I thought Carian Crawls was going to choke Sammy Zane out
because he had it locked in hard and Sammy was turning red
and then his arms kept dropping.
I can never remember this ref's name.
I want to say something Smith.
I could be wrong.
Yep, she's picking up Sammy's arm.
But who goes back up.
carian's got it locked in good
on his head
but his legs wrapped around him
ain't doing much
up Sammy springing back to life
trying to reach for the bottom rope
just reach over
punch him in the in the face
ah reaching for it
nope carrying still trying to pull him back
climb on top of him
slam his face on there
come on Sammy
smith yeah
I knew it was something Smith
Sammy fading again
Oh
Grab the rope
Do you have a lot
Do you have tattoos
I have two
I got one
I got three
That's enough
All three of them hurt
I can't imagine
These guys
That are all sleeved up
I can't have a bunch of them
On the back too
Yeah I got one in the shop
And one with my
My homeboy had a
homemade tattoo gun
homemade
yeah out of a pen
guitar string and some
others the battery
it's jail style
yeah well
that's where he learned it
you got to learn it somewhere
a friend of mine she's
a friend Hope
the one that made my
my last Magnus podcast design
she's starting a tattoo
she's just been
doing it or not herself. I said, well, shit, man, I got room.
One of my grandsons drew an airplane, and Renee told me to, why don't you get that on you?
So, all right, might as well let her do that. Something simple on my arm. She don't know where to put it.
Yeah, Sammy bounced back this match.
Because, uh, whoa, he ran at carrying in and a little of a kick, dude, it connected hard to the side of his face.
and then he just went down
and got pinned
but yeah
because he threw carrying into the corner
and then he just came running
full speed at him
carrying just he was facing the corner
then he turned around and
bah took that kick to the side of the dough
I don't know what's going on
like he's
reaching for Sammy
I thought they were going to have some kind of moment
yeah that's what I thought
I thought they were going to like hug and say thank you.
But good guys Sammy can't go to the dark side.
Yeah, I thought someone was going to go.
Like anything, something exciting.
He just walked away.
Sammy Zing.
He's so white, man.
You can just see all those marks all over him.
But on Monday night,
Carrion did jump Sammy backstage
and beat the shit out of him.
Well, good.
I mean, get him in the ring some more.
Well, he's got a good.
He's going to battle with Sammy Zane.
It'll be good.
Because they went back and forth
good on this one.
Yeah. It was a good match.
It just, I don't know
what it was for.
Yeah.
Night of Champions, every
match,
should be for a belt.
Yeah.
That's how it used to be.
Yeah.
Whoa.
Other than the king and the queen of the ring,
there was
Raquel and that, nothing.
This one, nothing.
I don't know.
So on Jacob next.
Yeah. Well, at least that was for something.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, we'll get to that one.
But.
The CBS Sports gave this one a B.
Yeah, okay.
I'm with that.
It was good.
But the next match,
Solo Tsecoa going up against the Simone Werewolf,
Jacob Fattu for the United States champion belt.
I don't like this belt.
I mean, it looks ugly.
Like it's too plain.
I like the old one they used to have.
but I don't design these things.
I still want one.
I want the spinner belt,
and that's the one I want,
because that was a son,
that was Kyle,
that was the one he liked,
and he had,
his little replica one.
It's around in here somewhere.
I want to get one of those,
and I found one of those websites
that makes the little plates.
They go on the side,
and I want to put his name,
put his name in his number,
from his baseball
years and put it
on there and hang it in here
let's have a solo Sacoa with all his little
crazy doing everyone's
stupid moves
I like it it's giving him some
personality
he's doing money in the bag is when it's
taught you see his little interview he was doing
they were asking about
are you down with yeat
and he was like he says
something for it was funny he was like four letters one word uh shut up
yeah see that one
and jacob far too looks like one of those guys you don't go up to but all the videos i
saw like i said he he was cool with it i would just kind of just hey and leave it at that
i'd be too scared to go up to him the solo looks like one of those schools you those guys
you can't approach so yeah he's
throwing them all over the ring. Oh, my
grandson Daniel, the oldest one, he was watching
this with me.
And he went, does he have gold teeth?
I said, those are his grills.
He was like, what's that?
And Buster was like, he goes, you know,
like the rappers.
I was like, how do you know that?
It's amazing what these kids know.
Kids be knowing.
Solo so weak, man.
He kept flying out, jumping out of the ring.
jumps out
Fatoo jumped upstairs
His character is so weird
The way they book him
Because you remember when he was the street champ
Yeah
And nobody could fuck with him
And now that he has personality
He's like getting his ass kicked
I gotta blame whoever's right in all this
Ooh
Slamming solo in the middle
the ring, bouncing off the ropes.
Ah!
What's that one called?
When they run, jump, and
land on them in their back,
the, um...
Spanish fly.
Well, that was what some people
call. It was called something else.
Fuck, I don't remember.
He rolls out of the ring again.
Oh, Jacob tried to fly through the ropes.
He got...
Oh, he's taped up this time.
Oh, ah!
slamming
Fatu on the apron
Ah, did this
That on the ground too?
Hell no.
Knocked the wind at them.
Delane are trying to gas for air.
I still hate the Simone Spike.
That's stupid.
You'll break your thumb doing that shit.
It's tribute to the
uncle.
I know, but
I don't know unless you have it
wrapped up hell of tight.
he climbed under the ring for a second
now he's back in the ring
I like when he always gets close
and he starts talking shit to him
solo
did he ever team up with his brothers
or did he just come in being bad
came in being bad
I don't think he ever
I mean he might have had like a
triple
three way tag team match
or whatever you call it
he's the youngest right out of the the three brothers well i just found out there's four of them
yeah didn't one just come in during this no i mean uh you got they have one that's in the nfl
ah and i get i think i think solo might be the baby even though he don't look like it
yeah he looks bigger than all of them ooh slammed his grilled
in the corner. He's laying there. Solo runs, walks back to the other one. Full speed,
DZZ. Slams his butt into his face into the corner and then does the dance. I know when they do
that, they just hit the second turn buckle and not hit them exactly in the face. Jacobs still
holding his jaw. Looks like he took it hard. Uh-oh. Headlock, middle of the ring.
Oh, it's all loose.
He's like barely holding him.
I'm surprised he don't yank his dreads out when they're throwing them all over the place.
Oh, can he take those gold things out or is it just clamped on the teeth?
I'm going to assume that since he wrestles in them, they might be permanent.
I could do that.
Because I've never seen him without him.
Yeah.
he's just spitting all over the place
it's all in his beard and his hair
this is a Simone werewolf
I want to get one of his shirts
speaking of wrestling shirts
I was cleaning out my drawer
I didn't realize how many Roman rain shirts I had
and the shield
I have those too
I had that and I have a shield hoodie
that I might have wore once
I said I ain't getting rid of that
I'm hoping
one day
that they'll come back
but I don't know
I don't think
uh
mocks
once they ever come back
to WWE
he'll make
a final
when he's got one more
round or two left in him
he'll come back
I throw a big check at him
he'll come back
in the middle of the ring
dropping bombs on each other
come on
one
solo
well
he did that flip behind his back and almost dropped him on his head.
Watch out.
Whoa.
Jacob got some dj.
Ooh,
that was a sloppy German seplex.
But boot to the head.
He goes down, stink butt.
Ooh, see that one connected hard.
Right to his head.
Pick him up.
Ooh.
What he's trying to do?
Spike him to the ground.
he barely got him up
uh oh
to top rope
ah de sh swan
oh
so kicking out
who was his first dude that came in
uh
yeah
oh no no um
Jeff Cobb
yeah
what's his name now
I ain't calling him
J C. Mateo
yeah
he's Jeff Cobb
Guess when he came back
it's Jeff Cobb and then
Jay's his name. I'm like
okay
the second guy that
comes back is
does Tongoloa coming back from
injury, the legend
Tongoloa
yeah
the Batch King
that's how he got hurt
because yeah here comes
Jeff Cobb he comes running in
I remember
looked a little too steep, man.
I want this guy's knees to go out on him.
Yep.
Jacob, Jeff Cobb again running for the distraction.
And Tonga Loha jumped in when Fatu was up on the top rope.
Ah, get him up.
Dish.
Oh, let me push my hair back.
Solo slowly crawling over there.
One, two.
Oh, kicked out.
That was three, but all right.
So it was looking all.
dazed and surprised
all right for the spike
looking around
pull up my shorts
look at the spike
all two still laying there
grab him by the head
pick him up
all right bitch
you wanted this
I won't miss
super kicked solo
I just flip kick
over to Jeff Cobb
he kicks him off the apron
bounces off the rope
over the top
ooh
they caught him.
Jeff Cobb was like he got hit in the head.
He kicked in the head.
He did that flip.
Where was he at before
WWE?
I think New Japan.
Oh yeah, that's right.
They did say that.
Ooh, Simone drop.
Oh, Jeff Cobb,
super kick to the dome.
He goes down.
Stank butt.
DZ.
Oh.
Yeah.
bang dance
solo still laying there
far two flip
through the top
connected
goes in for the pin all hell
slow
no ref
and there's
what was this guy's name again
the big wild one
hiccaleo
but they changed his name
because you know they had to
it's Talatanga now
he's
uh tamma and Tonga
as a little brother.
Little brother. That guy's big.
Yeah, it's like
7.3, I think.
Oh, fuck.
Pick up Jacob Fartu and chokeslam them
onto the announce table.
Throw him back into the ring.
Solo springs back to life slowly.
All the other guys are still laying on the outside
of the ring. Did.
Do head. Get up.
Bad news, Barrett.
He ain't going to wrestle no more.
I think he's got one more left in him.
Ah, Huss!
Samoan's bike.
That was a good one.
He did that flip.
One, two, three, and that was it.
I got some bad news for you.
That's what I liked.
All the bad news, Barrett stuff.
I thought that was awesome.
When he had his big, tall-ass podium on the stage.
I was always scared it was going to fall over.
After watching, I finished a total.
total divas after watching that
finding out he used to
day Alicia Foxx and broke up with her
what happened with her
she's in TNA
okay I always wondered
is that how he broke up with her
he's like I got some
bad news for you
oh that'd be cold
you'd give a gimmick
in real life
yeah she goes by her
I think her real name is
Victoria Crawford
she's fine though
I met her at
Comic Con one year
her and Layla
I heard she's might be making a comeback
where she'd been
retired
okay
yeah
solo in his lackeys
pulled it out
so solo's the new
WBE
United States champion
I was bummed
though they
couldn't do it on his own
had to bring out all his lackeys to do it.
There was one kid hyped in the crowd.
Everyone else was bad.
The one jumping up and down.
Yeah, everyone else was bad.
Damn, that guy's hella big.
He's seven feet.
Yeah.
Jeff Cobb, he's a little brute, but he's short.
He's probably taller than me, but...
Yeah, Jeff Cobb probably weighs as much as the other guys.
Where is he from, New Zealand?
or Australia
Right
Jeff Cobb?
Yeah
I think Hawaii
I thought he was
What am I thinking of
No I'm thinking of fucking
What's his name?
Bronson Reed
Bronson Reed
Yeah
Yeah
Jeff Cobb
His family's like from Guam
Or something
All right
They gave this match
A B plus
I think that's a fair
grade yeah okay
it's the
oh this one
queen of the ring
oh we got to talk about this one
storm
she came out
I know I sit on here
I felt like she's going to be a future star
but
she is the Tonga Loa
of the women's division
yeah
the way this
finished with that fucking botch
I was just like, why did you guys just do it
over? Yeah, I was
Because clearly
she fell off of her to the point
where she rolled her off her shoulders.
I mean, Oscar can't do
it all.
I mean, and this, this match just
didn't work. The styles were
just not working with each other.
Aska's
submission moves and her
hard hitting style with
jade's power
that's what they're billing it as
it just it didn't mesh well
no
the empress of tomorrow
no I mean
it was it was bad booking
I mean they could
could put someone else in there
but if they're pushing her
I mean they've been pushing her
so
I mean she has she
I'm not gonna lie she does have her moments
where she looks good in there
yeah
but she
like I said, she's the Tonga Loa of the women's division.
She has so many botches and big matches.
Even during her AEW run, it was a beautiful young woman, in shape, amazing.
But yeah, it's just.
I mean, I see the potential.
But you got to remember, she's only been wrestling, what, five, six years.
Yeah.
She like skipped NXT completely.
Yeah.
just she's putting her into the deep end now because with this with this win she's
i think uh her and tiffany stratton at the somerslam that's when naomi cashes in
that's what i'm hoping i hope i hope jade i like tiffany but i hope jade wins just so naomi
mary can cash on her right then that would be good that'd be good for business hit her with
to taser she keeps in the briefcase
with her little
Jimmy doll.
Little Jimmy.
Well, you
could clearly see the crowd was
not into this at all.
They were all just kind of
next.
I mean, they were there for Oscar.
Yeah, but.
She got a big pop
when she came out. But then once the match
started, it was just kind of like
you can see
people having conversations with each
other.
See the kids looking down at their phones.
Yeah.
And let me see who was in
the women's king or queen of the ring.
We got Carrey Sane,
Liv Morgan, Ria Ripley,
Roxanne Perez,
Jade Cargill, Meachin,
Nyjacks, Piper Niven,
Albofire, Alexa Bliss,
Candice Luray, Charlotte Flair,
Aska, Ibi Now,
Raquel, Rodriguez, and Stephanie
Vicarre.
again there's like five or six women in there that could have been queen of the ring
put throw candace in there as much as i love her awesome she's like the last uh wrestling shirt i
bought um pro wrestling t's dot com give them plug um if candace was in this match with oska
a plus those two can work good they're perfectly the same size
pretty much height-wise, and they both got good style.
What's her name should have been in it if her nose wasn't broken?
Who?
Chelsea Green.
Oh, who broke her nose?
The Zelina Vega.
Yeah.
Queen Zelina.
When she hit her with the botch 619 where she tried to...
Yeah, that was sloppy.
Try to fix it at the end and just straight kicked her to nose.
See,
Oscar can't carry this whole match, man.
Jade's just sloppy.
Because, yeah, her hard-hitting style is just,
it's too much for Jade.
I mean, I know Oscar,
she don't seem like the one to just bitch and complain.
I think she's just thankful that she's still around.
But, I mean, it would be a way.
waste to get rid of her.
Like her, Eo, and
what's her nuts?
Kyrie. Keep them.
Didn't they get rid of
Kyrie for a second? Yeah.
They brought her back. Yeah, I mean, that was fast.
They brought her back once
certain people
weren't running shit.
Because I was bummed that she
was gone. And then she came,
next thing you know, she won't, whoa, wouldn't she come back?
So,
but Kyrie, I mean, I like
the little pirate thing, but
I liked her when she was all
bad looking. Bring that back.
Oh, damage control, Kari?
Yeah, I want that.
Well, you know, damage control's
over. Yeah.
They set it on Raw.
No more. Dakota
either. Got rid of her.
I could see why
on her. She's always getting hurt,
but... But I see
her being a champion somewhere else.
Yeah, I do too.
anyone anyone that got cut
I mean it was just
they weren't using them
because we've said this
said it earlier
they're using the same people
over and over
for every match
so but
I mean there's some
I'm fine with them using them over and over
but then there's some like
all right next we just saw this
but yeah I was
the way they're pushing Jade
I knew she was
gonna win but putting her up with oscar was a little much i think they could have stuck her in with
someone else ooh damn she gave that big boot to oscar she sold it helly good she almost flipped over oh nope
oscar reversing it oh oh botch come on jade you're killing me she just she doesn't sell good
can clearly see that when she messes up it's just like uh because of the the the little mess
ups for oscar i mean it's not because of her but yeah i mean i was i was bummed on this one i was
just like man i mean you knew who was going to win right out right out the gate on this one but
i just don't understand why they just ruff didn't tell her repin her he
hit your move again.
Yeah, she hit the moves,
swings her over, then falls.
When she fell,
the way
she falls is towards the camera
and she was still holding Oscar.
Clearly
her Oscar's
left shoulder was up, but
what can you do?
It looks like she got hurt, too,
because she got baby in her knees.
I was so sloppy
Because yeah
When that happened
I just rolled my eyes
I was like
Oh
Yeah they could
Could have redid it
Easily
Yeah her shoulder was up
But they were probably yelling
And uh
What was her name again
Smith girl
Uh
Asha
They were probably yelling in their area
Just pin it
Just end it
Because they could see
No one was into it
poor oscar
she's a champ already
she'll be back
oh replay
let me pin you
or slip
clearly
oscar shoulders were up
but
jade cargo
is the queen
of the ring
does she deserve it
no
but
my opinion
some of you may think
differently
but
she gets points for
coming out
like storm
from x-men
so
I'll let that
slide.
Yeah, and I saw people on social media
talking about give her the role.
What?
Like, get the fuck out of here.
Hell no.
Just because she cosplay as
Storm, she should play her in a movie.
No, there's only one storm, and that's
Hallie Berry.
I can't talk about Catwoman,
but she's Storm.
No one else can be
storm. Is she going to be in this
doomsday
storm if they're bringing everyone else back
why not
but
Monday night
our Saturday night's main event
on next weekend
the ring
general
Gunther and Goldberg
it's his retirement match
it's we know how it's gonna go
well he better win
so he can retire
I don't.
Oh, he's not beating Gunther.
He should.
He's going to have a moment where he's kicking Gunter's ass and then Gunther's going to have a moment where he's just like, wait, hold on.
I'm the ring general.
He's going to get to chopping that chest out.
Oh, hell no.
He can break his hand on that chest.
Just fucking spear him, jackhammer, and then one, two, three.
But, you know, people.
would turn on WWW so fast.
I'm surprised they haven't lately with all the shenanics going on.
Ah, what they get?
What CV is for it to give this one?
They gave it a B.
What?
Yeah, I would have gave it A plus for Oscar.
She's the Empress of Tomorrow.
She's amazing.
But Jade, you get an F.
This is so.
A B.
Yeah.
I don't know.
Who did this one?
I'm about to put him on blast.
Brent Brookhouse for CBS.
I don't know what match you were watching.
Yeah, bro.
Come on, man.
Are they paying you to give out these grades?
They can pay me.
I'll give them grades too.
Pay us.
And we'll give you the grades.
But all right, this next one.
The main event
of the night. And yeah, this is the one
other than Mommy. This is the one I was
really excited for.
The last time is now
against the second
city stink. The voice of the
voiceless.
Seeing best in the world, seeing punk.
Awesome, man.
The stage, everything.
The background, seeing punk come out, and
everyone was hyped.
I think
punk had the crowd.
I know there was some issues when he got there.
I guess some tweet he said and some people were mad at one of the little fan things they did before it.
Yeah, that was, I can see it from Punk's point of view.
He said that wasn't to the people of Saudi.
That was more toward the Miz.
And the guy at the fan fest yelled out, you need to.
to apologize and he
went up to him and asked him his name
and then apologize
and then just
everything was good he forgave him
gave my hug
then everybody's like
oh it's just doing it for the money
I mean probably but that don't mean he can't be
sorry also yeah I mean
this is this is older punk
this old man punk
the kid man he
he just wanted apology and apologized to him
and that kid was like cool yeah
hugged them and
everyone's chancy and punk
when punk came out here man
everyone with the the punk section signs
all the people
in the front and everyone way up
top
the doctor punkinomics
oh man
make that shirt please
I'll buy it
I want to know who's going to be
at Comic Con this year
I was glad that
I got in to the
WWE Mattel panel last year.
It was
a punk's return to San Diego
Comic Con and
oh man, I
had a video and I never posted it
maybe I'll post it somewhere
on the
wrestling returns page from last
year's Comic Con because they were
hyped when he came out.
I assume
John would be there doing
the peacemaker stuff.
That's right.
Why not?
Bring him in there.
Well, it's his last time, man.
Yeah, he should be at the Mattel booth.
I know he's got another figure coming.
Punk came out, sat in the middle of the ring with his Chicago gear.
He was hyped, man.
Everybody was there for him.
I guess this is the same thing.
Not the same exact thing, but the same design is the money in the bank match,
that him and John had like 10 years ago or whatever 15 years ago
damn was that long ago
shit
everyone was hyped
and John Cena's music hit
I like it man
it's just blanked it just says John Cina
that's how it says
I need to get one of these shirts
not this one that he's wearing but
one of these farewell tour shirts
I need one
I have one of his green shirts
I only have one John Sina shirt
I'll give it to these kids man
every time he shows up man
no matter what he does
they're still supporting him
I got the hats the shirts
the towels everything
I should get me a towel
if I get to one of these things
I do like how when he makes
any of these big PLEs
there's a special shirt
John Sina shirt
just for that area
for that event
man
I should have went to that
raw that was in San Jose
when
Jay had the
the Yeat
San Jose Shark shirt
you fuck you fools on eBay
trying to sell them for $200
ain't there like a Bailey one now
yeah
because she did the
she announced a draft pick
yep
I want that belt.
San Jose Shark's belt.
Any of you guys listening, man, don't do me dirty.
The A's did me dirty.
The Raiders did me dirty.
Come on, sharks, man.
Stay in San Jose.
Because if you guys leave me, I won't have a shark.
I won't have a hockey team ever again.
I mean, I was a little guy when the Seals were in Oakland,
but then they were gone before I fell into hockey.
But I've been a Sharks fan since day one.
don't don't do me dirty the other two teams that I grew up with
Vegas well I go to the A's game down there of course I'll go
my bucket list is to go to as many baseball stadiums as possible but I don't know
I already been to the Raiders Stadium so scratch that off my list but that was for
wrestling it wasn't for a Raider game but it
If the Seahawks play the Raiders
I don't know, we'll see.
Maybe I'll go.
That's the only football stadium I've been to
Seattle.
I've been to Soldier Field,
uh,
candlestick park before they demolished it.
And then,
uh,
bitch-ass Santa Clara
49th stadium.
I went there for WrestleMania,
and then I just went there,
was it last week or the week before
I went saw Metallica.
There.
man
all you raider
nation to the end shut up
there was a ton of fools
in there were raiders jerseys on
as well as
the 49er faithful they were there
they were representing
I give it to some of those guys that made their own
Metallica 49ers jerseys
there was one
cool shirt I saw
it was
um
a 40
like a 40 a
beer and a 9-milly
and then it said
ERS at the bottom.
You're going to get you a
Jacob Fatu Raiders jersey?
Hell no.
Fuck that.
The only
Raiders jersey I would get
and wear, I do want it still.
He was one of my favorites since I was a kid.
I met him once at the airport.
The great Jim Plunkett.
I'll get that jersey.
But that's not.
LA Jim Plunkett
I want Oakland Jim Plunkett
Good guy I met him
He was really cool
Got to see his big
Super Bowl ring
He had the Oakland Raiders one
The real one he said I got an LA one somewhere
But this is the one I always wear
I went good I said that's the best one
There's only one Raiders that's Oakland
Not L.A not Vegas either
But anyway
The last time is now
have you seen that new movie that's on
Amazon?
Ed's Estate.
Yeah, with scene in.
Edress, Alvarez.
Yeah, I'm going to watch it.
I just ain't got around to it.
Yeah, I need to watch it.
I need to watch that.
I need to watch that.
The Old Guard, too.
That and, no, yeah, that.
And, um,
this one with the Jamie Fox.
and Cameron Diaz.
Oh, I heard that one's
horrible. Yeah,
but it's new. I ain't got to watch
it. I need something to talk about.
You watching Jurassic World?
I won't be out there
this weekend for it.
Is it come out this weekend?
It's out now.
Oh, it's out now?
Yeah.
Oh, shit. Speaking of
now, let me check my...
I don't know if we...
If we got fun.
or are they going to make me wait until
Saturday?
Oh, yeah.
All right, good.
I was scared.
I was running low.
All right.
Here we go.
The last time is now.
The jorts,
he can never wrestle in anything else
ever again if he does.
Yeah, see how hype the crowd is?
Man, they're on their feet.
In the air.
Ah, swimming.
And shout out to that person with a big
John Sina face way off
to the right.
The fireflies are out.
Rest and peace, pray.
Everyone's hyped.
This match took a minute
to get going.
It was a little slow.
Text these guys a minute to get
gone. Yeah.
They got to warm up.
Man, X, Twitter, whatever,
man, you guys are brutal.
I mean, the internet period is
savage.
They were
going off about these guys.
Did John spray the hair?
You got the surgery.
Oh, did he? Okay.
We could see that spot clearly.
You can see it from space.
Well, you knew it was coming, him transitioning over to acting.
You can't have the bald spot.
Well, peacemakers got the helmet on.
I still want to.
get me some
John Cena wristbands
and the headband
next event I go to
I'll get some
because my friend man
when we went
well it was just
a regular little out show
he went all in
he just bought all kinds of
it was the first one he ever went to
when we were in in Oakland
it was one of the holiday shows
he was so
he grew up watching
wrestling with me but just never went
he went
went and he's got a good job
and he went crazy. No wife, no
kids, all the money's his.
We live with his mom. But
he went nuts.
He bought like five shirts
everything that you
get anything, the bed to buy the bag
just to carry it all in.
I was like, damn dude.
I don't know when the next time I want to go.
So, but
yeah, this one,
it took a minute.
Watch out for his hair.
You're going to pull it all out.
Get him in the corner and then everybody, man.
Yeah, there was no love for Sina this match.
The crowd was against him.
Especially when he came out with the John Sina sucks.
They were hell loud.
Some people are still mad about this heel turn that he's doing.
I was shocked.
It wasn't something I expected.
But I'm cool with it.
it. And I said this on East Society when we're talking about this. I kind of did a quick little
run through. I know some people, they want John to drop the belt before he, before he leaves.
I'll be fine if he leaves with the belt. I mean, he's, he's earned it. I mean, but. You know he's
not, though. I know. He's dropping it to Cody. No. Drop it to puck or somebody.
Punk, he's dude.
Triple H said this was their
That was it.
This?
Zena and punk was it.
Oh, no. Come on.
You know Cody's
got to finish his second chapter, his story.
No, they don't.
Man, just give it
the punk one more time.
I can honestly see
Cody getting a bell back at
SummerSlam.
When's
Sina's last match?
December
sometime
middle of December
at what
what's that
I heard
it's going to be
neither a Saturday
night main event
or they're going to make some kind of
special
special PLE
for it
and that'd be good
I mean
oh man
if you drop it to Cody
all right
but
no
I don't know.
If it ain't the punk,
I don't know.
We'll see.
Yeah, this match
is still going slow.
They're throwing each other around.
I was watching an old
um,
uh,
the Thugonomics
match.
He was way bigger.
I know he had to tone down
because of the acting thing,
but he was
he was hell of big.
John Cena.
I think he said because of age, too.
Of course.
It's hard to, because I know that's why Batista lost all the weight.
Oh, my gosh.
People think he's sick.
He said he's too much on his body.
He's old.
I think he looks good.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, I wish I looked that good.
I look like I look.
I said this also on East Society.
I'm 40 pounds lighter than I was at last Comic
and I almost dropped
because I was so out of shape
huffing and puffing
going up and down the
gas lamp of San Diego
oh man shout out to those little guys
that wheel you around
on the little the bikes
those guys saved me
except for that last guy
$100, get the fuck out of here
anyway but
rewatching this match this match was slow
yeah
It took forever in the beginning.
These guys had to get warmed up.
Because they go back and forth and they hit something big,
but then they start huffing and puffing,
especially punk.
I think he's got one more good run in him,
and then he can just retire.
But like he said, he ain't here to make friends.
He's here to make money, and he's getting it.
How much did he get to come back?
Millions.
He needs to beat up Seth a few more times.
I'm so over that.
But that's like the only thing that I think would work of them keep hating each other.
I mean, you know there's some kind of truth to that.
Oh, yeah.
And that whole thing when Seth went off when Punk came back, that was real.
I don't care what anyone says.
That shit was real.
He was hell of mad.
Yeah, the guy that you called a cancer to the business shows up,
and he's waving at you.
Yep, in your face.
Oh, man.
Yep, that shit was, that shit was real.
I don't care what anybody says.
Yeah, it was sure for the camera or for the, everyone that was theirs.
But, yeah.
I mean, even Ria, they had asked her,
were you really mad that he came back?
And she was like, no, man, I was happy.
shocked, but she had to play.
She had to stay K-fayb
and act like she didn't care.
Because I saw that video
when she went backstage, she was hugging
punk, and she was happy.
Dogs out there barking.
There must be
deer walking around.
Yeah, I'm skipping
to the end of this match.
Yeah, they're going so slow,
and there's still, like, hell of it left.
All right, I stopped at
when
Seth Rounds came out
Bronson Reed and
Bronbreaker and
they really wrestled this
They really wrestled this amount of time
Yeah
I mean he got two big motherfuckers man
Those guys are no joke
But I've
Bronson Reed man
When he jumps into the ring
I'm like ah be careful
Hey my ankle still hurts too man
Doctors say all your legs get
stronger or whatever if something
breaks or fractured.
No, I still
baby my ankle, both of my ankles
that I fractured.
Whoa,
almost drop punk on his head.
Rumor is they're going to be adding
a fourth member.
Who?
It's got to see a big.
No, it's going to be a young
guy because I think they're trying to do
the evolution thing.
You know, where they had
evolution. They had
Randy.
Yeah.
So I heard it's going to be an NXT guy.
Man, that was so sloppy.
Brun and Brunton Reed didn't even get punk up
and slam them on the table.
On the, uh-oh.
Right here, man, here's the All-Star.
Running down that ramp, full speed.
Oh, Dings, Sina.
Charles Robinson.
Oh, fuck.
That was a hard-ass hit, too.
But he said, I was watching something.
He goes, man, I think I posted on the
Wrestling Returns Facebook page.
He said he came running down.
He saw someone coming, but he wasn't sure who it was.
He thought it was one of the cameramen.
And D-Z.
Cid knocked him out.
Because he laid there dead after that.
He didn't even get up.
He jumps in the ring.
He says Seth A.A.
he rolls out of the ring
and then his two lackeys jump in
and start going to work on Sina
on punk still laying there
dead in the announce table
uh-oh
yeah I knew that wasn't going to happen
it was not going to tsunami
John Sina
the Penta hit his music hit
he came out
doing the Penta walk
yep
Brown breaker running out of
miss
kick to the leg
kicked to the other leg
back kicks again
get out of the way cameraman
oh hell of missed
super kick to the chest
wow
picked him up
flipped
penta onto the ramp
picked him up with one hand
that's a big motherfucker
I wouldn't approach him either
I wouldn't even look at him
you think he should have been
Bronz Steiner
uh
that's
we would want. Oh, like him to Sammy Zane.
He's going to work.
Whoa, almost fell off the ramp.
See, what would have been
made sense is they're beating
Sammy's ass, and then
carrying cross comes out.
Yeah. Sammy and Braun
going at it. Oh.
Throw him on the ground. He's
whipping his ass now.
Come on, cameraman, get out of
away. Luckily,
there's a chair right there.
There goes Penta on the stage. Ah, cross.
body. He got both of them.
Whoa, Samuel almost hit his head on
that pipe.
Cina's in the ring
dead. Bronson Reed.
Uh-oh. He's climbing up.
See? He has all that time to tsunami him.
Yeah. Watch your ankle.
Ah, a punk pushes him off.
He jumps back in the ring.
Sina. Oh, Bronson Reed.
Hey!
He's like, ah, no.
I don't know how much he weighs,
but Sina ain't no joke.
took a lot out of him he fell down
Sina was like that's why I'm retiring
Punk couldn't do that
And to the GTS on him
Oh punk just barely making it
Oh he shit he got slammed through the table
And seen
Two old men
Back on their feet
Crowd hyped
Seena just looking around punk
Everyone that
Where's he at? Where's he at?
No, he's still laying there dead.
Charles Robinson.
He's got to play that role.
Some of it, he's probably not playing.
Oh, hell no.
He's like, fuck, how long do I got to lay here?
Come the one's coming to help me.
You're in the middle of the ring.
Stare down.
Oh, this is the part.
Punk reaches out for the handshake.
seen his looking around fans in the back saying no
and he does that hug and that look
you know me bitch
who miss
up on his shoulders punk
I know ah Seth Rallens with the case
the punk Diz knocked him down
Ah curbs stomped the punk
Oh
Sina throws Rollins out of the ring
He goes in for the pen
The other ref jumps in one two

The last real champion.
Yep.
He's going to ruin wrestling.
What did they say?
17, never seen?
Yep.
Replay.
Yeah, Punk was hell tired by this time.
Oh, yeah, he nailed it.
Seth nailed punk in the head with that shit.
Kermstant was perfect, too.
Punk sold it good.
Ah.
Where was that ref?
He was laying there dead.
He came to life quick.
Charles Robinson just laying there.
Someone better pick him up, bring him out.
Oh, this is when it goes back to punk.
In the...
Oh, no, he just goes straight to that.
Because punk was in the ring for a minute.
Oh, and the crowd helped him get up?
Yeah.
By Sharon.
Uh-huh.
They were all...
Whoa.
Well, that was not.
night of champions, boys and girls.
Ah.
It was only one
champ crowned.
And, well,
one king.
King, the ring,
Queen and the ring. Don't forget solo.
Oh, yeah. Well, that was the one
champ that won.
He was the only one that won a belt.
Mommy looked like she, yeah,
she's holding her side.
The post-show shit.
She's still holding.
on her side. So she must
have got hurt. Damn,
even with no makeup on, she's fine.
And she said that, too.
She always likes to wear big
giant shirts. I'm surprised they didn't make her cover
her arms. She got a t-shirt
on, but
I'm sure the
the WWE universe don't care.
It's just the rules
there.
Yeah.
But the next one,
next weekend, Saturday
night's main event.
We got
NXT, the Great American Bash,
Saturday night's main event,
and then Sunday is
Evolution.
Okay.
Oh, CBS Sports, they gave that a B minus.
I'll just give it a regular B.
Yeah.
I mean, the ending was good when everyone came out
and got involved, but it was just the
the lead up to all that.
It was just like, oh, man,
it's just two old timers in there going back and forth.
What can you do?
We all can't be young.
If you got the peacock,
just go back and watch the old,
the old matches when they were all in their prime.
But, yeah, we got all that coming up next.
next weekend.
So hopefully we'll get that in.
But go over to the horror returns.com for everything.
Dealing with the network and go listen to the latest episode,
which came out five days ago, episode 4.74,

Oh, a new one?

Geez.
What's it called Diablo?
I'm watching all the old ones.
There's one.
It's a,
I guess it's a sci-fi.
One.
Um,
the hell was it called?
It's got like a colorful poster.
Oh, shit.
Sheet my fingers.
Yeah, there was some
Max Cloud.

PG-13
When a teen
gamer Sarah finds an Easter egg
and accidentally opens a portal
into her favorite
side-scroller, she becomes
trapped in a notorious intergalactic
prison home to the galaxy's most
dangerous villains to escape.
She must finish the game with a little
help from her not-so-savvy
friend on the outside or
remain a 16-big character forever.
Okay.
Hey man, whatever pays the bills.
The trailer looks goofy, but
Scott Atkins.
You can do comedy if you guys listen
into the debt collector.
Did you see that one?
No, I haven't seen that one.
Watch both of them.
They were both good.
Oh shit, he's got one with Dolph Lundgren.
Is that who that is?
Oh, damn, fuckers.
Make me watch that one?
Wow, Twitter.
that was hell of good. I like that movie.
One with Marky Mark and
Rhonda
and
Maggie. Yeah.
Machete kills.
Is there you go you ways in it?
Yeah. Only watched it
for my girl Michelle.
That one was no good.
But

We'll be back next week with more wrestling and everything.
I'll try to throw that Comic-Con video of Punk on the Facebook page.
Is Zoe done or is this video fake?
of her talking shit about, uh,
Eo.
Or not,
it's not EO or was it,
uh,
Kiry that missed her.
Did you have you seen that video?
No,
but I know she's been posting a lot.
I think it's,
she's just trying to keep the,
what does she call her fans?
Stark marks?
Just trying to keep them
remembering her.
I hope she comes back.
I mean,
I think that video was AI because she was saying that she was retiring because both her knees are glass.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, AI is crazy with all these videos out there.
