Jerking the Curtain Ep. 127 - The Road to Wrestlemania is looking so good!!!

You are now listening to the phone call of the podcast.

Just shut your damn mouth.

Oh, okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of jerking the curtain with the Funkaholks podcast.

It's me. It's me. It's Nando T and I am back with always ready.

There it is.

Ariana, I don't know about you, but the time is moving extremely fast.

I feel like you and I recorded yesterday and this week was good.

This week was very good.

And here we are today.

What is what is going on in the life of do Portugal?

Well, we just got to Bellen, New Mexico.

We're getting closer to being in Albuquerque, which I'm very excited for.

And we have shows starting this week.

So I'm very excited.

Awesome. Very cool. Very cool.

You know, you, I don't know if we've like really talked about it or mentioned it, but I mean, you pretty much live the life of a wrestler right now.

Yeah. And it is exhausting.

I don't know how they do it and do what they do.

So like phenomenally, who knows?

Maybe it's something for the future. We never know, but she's always ready.

So WWE get ready.

Maybe even the AEW, but you know, my heart is with WWE.

So I'm going to be sitting on the stuff they do, so maybe we don't go that route.

Yeah, I don't know if you want to surrender and stuck through your mouth or anything like that.

Yeah, nothing.

I don't think dad will be excited about any new piercings on the face.

No.

Oh, man.

Guys, we are on that fun part of the roller coaster ride where wrestling has been very good to us.

And like Ariana said, wrestling has been really good this week.

There was a surprise on SmackDown that got me off the bed and standing up pissed off.

But hey, that's what I love about it.

Brock was God. Rob was just good.

Yeah.

And we're here to talk about it because this is the pod that talks what they love.

And Ariana, there's something over here that we do all the time.

You already know. So cheers to another great episode.

Cheers.

I tried putting a...

I tried getting creative with my drink today and it's not panning out, but I am a trooper.

I am going to go ahead and drink it anyways, but...

What is it?

I bought this peanut butter whiskey and...

I was thinking my K.

What if I mix it with grape?

And I was thinking I'll make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich drink, right?

It's not working out like that right now, but...

That sounds awful.

I'm going to give it another shot.

I'm using the Gatorade grape right now because I couldn't find like a grape soda at the gas station on the way over here.

Yeah.

So I'm going to give it another shot.

We'll try one more time, but at least I'll be hydrated during the show.

That's true.

Yeah.

We got that going on.

Time for round table of toppings.

Something that I want to tell all of you.

Here's the news.

Here's the headline.

Ariana, I don't know if you're going to be ready for this, but it looks like another WWE superstar who you hold dear in your heart will be leaving for Hollywood.

Rhea Ripley is set to star in Terra Fire 4.

So I love horror movies, but I can't do gore.

So I have never been able to watch any of the Terra Fire movies, but I might have to just to go see Rhea.

You're going to have to do it.

I'm just going to have to watch him.

It's the Rhea fan in you.

You can't be a Rhea fan if you don't see her first ever movie.

Exactly.

I'll just traumatize myself.

Trust me.

So I'm part of my brain is very sick.

I love Terra Fire movies because of the gore and the buckets of blood.

And there's some of them where I was just like, this needs to end.

Long story short, I went to the theater one time to see Terra Fire.

And I don't know if it was a boy or girl that was sitting next to me, but they were dressed up like art the clown.

I literally told my friend, I was like, if this fucking kid decides to get wild, like shit's going down.

Like I've watched plenty of horror movies to know what I need to do.

So it was a fun experience, you know, because when you're watching a horror movie, your mind goes there.

And you know, that just makes the experience even more fun.

So we'll see how Rhea pulls this one off.

I think because she's such a fan of the franchise, I think she's going to give it her all.

Because there are sometimes when certain superstars go into a movie, like you can tell they're just there for the paycheck.

Yeah, very true.

But I think she's going to give it her all.

I think we're really going to see a dark side of Rhea in this one.

And it sounds like she's going to have a major role in it.

So this is going to be cool.

I'll have to watch the other three so I can go to the theater and watch this one.

You might not want to do that.

If you're not a fan of like Gordon stuff like that, I would say just save yourself for, for terrifying or four.

It might not, it might not even be a story that, you know, connects all the other, all the other dotted ones.

You know what I mean?

I'll just watch us inopsis of the other three and call it a day.

There you go.

There you go.

Perfect.

Yeah, guys, we have been talking about Vinnie Mack for a few episodes now and we are finding out or there's rumors that he is helping with storylines of head of WrestleMania.

That's crazy.

I would have never expected him back.

Do you think that's maybe why Smackdown and Ra have been pretty good these past couple of weeks?

Maybe.

Very interesting.

Yeah.

Very, very interesting.

Still hoping that he's going to buy WWE back.

We haven't heard anything but maybe, you know, maybe no news is good news.

So we'll just keep hoping for hope.

So I found this news line very, very interesting, but apparently a teacher stole millions of dollars from a school.

And she spent about 350,000 worth on WWE front row tickets.

There are worse things she could spend money on.

So these teachers, my mom's a teacher, so she's like, I see if teachers are severely underpaid.

Yes, they are.

So you know what? Good for her.

I am in support of this.

Is this a sign of what TKO is doing to people?

They're literally forcing them to steal?

To have multiple felonies?

Maybe.

But if it's a teacher stealing from the school system, then I'm in support.

Yeah, you're fine with it.

As long as nobody is like in danger, like no one's in like harm's way.

Right.

Like we don't hear that they're like robbing bangs at gunpoint and stuff like that too.

Exactly.

I'm not going to get in front of you to the WWE event.

Here's another one that you're probably not going to like, but the rumor mill is getting extremely strong.

That Ray Mysterio has notified WWE that he will be retiring earlier than when his contract expires.

So it sounds like Ray Mysterio will be another wrestler.

That's going to be retiring this year.

He's had one hell of a run.

He's had a quite like a big career.

Do you think there will be any any hugging or any forgiveness between him and Dom?

No, like I kind of want to see Dom be his last match.

As kind, not as like a passing of the torch, because I feel like he's kind of done that with dragon Lee and Penta.

Yes.

So you don't want to see him go against Gunther, right?

No.

Where has Gunther been?

I know.

He retired.

And then he retired.

He said that's enough.

I don't need to do anymore.

He's a legend's contract.

I'm tired of retiring all these wrestlers.

I'm going to retire myself.

Where has he been?

We need to put him on a milk car.

And seriously, we're like where the hell has Gunther been?

I feel like at WrestleMania, there's going to be one match where it's an open challenge and then we'll hear Gunther's music.

Oh, jeez.

Who would be that open challenge?

Because everyone I want him to go up against is sort of busy.

True.

So.

Right now, the only one doing open challenges is, well, Penta's been kind of doing that too.

But I don't really want to see him versus Penta.

Yeah, I don't want to see that either.

I mean, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be mad at him retiring Carmelo Hayes.

You know, if he had an open challenge for the USA title, then, you know, I'd be like,

go for Gunther.

Go ahead.

He's just going to start going to like the other promotions and start retiring people over there.

Yeah, he's just going to start picking people up kind of like how downhousing just curses everyone all of a sudden.

Yeah.

How funny would that be though?

Like if Gunther were walking in, like, he showed up to smack down and like, if fucking parts like the Red Sea,

like rest was like, oh, hell no.

And there's just dad housing.

Yeah, there's just dad housing.

Oh, my God, an interaction between Gunther and dad housing would be epic.

Give it to us.

Give me that any day.

Oh, man.

Great job, Orianna.

I like that one.

That's a great one.

That's a great one.

All right, guys.

It's time for you just made the list.

You just made the list.

Today, I challenged Arianna to give me her top five WW female matches with NXT included if she choose to do so.

So Arianna, you're in the hot sea.

Let's hear it.

So my number five is I feel like one of the matches and one of the rivalries that kind of paved the way for where the women's division is now.

I'm going with Tristratus versus Lita.

Anytime these two faced against each other in the ring, it was dollar signs for WWE.

I like it.

I like it.

My number four, EO versus Raya at evolution.

Very nice.

Anytime those two were facing up against each other, especially at evolution, we were just sitting there watching.

It was just that going to be that good.

Number three, Becky versus Sasha and Helena cell, they beat the ever loving hell out of each other.

I remember that one.

I was just like, wow, this is next level for the female division.

Number two, I have to, you probably want to agree with this.

I have to go Bianca Belair versus Sasha Banks at WrestleMania.

I thought that match was fantastic.

The way they worked against each other, the way Bianca whips Sasha with that hair and I was in pain.

Yes, yes.

So I forgot.

I don't know if you guys got that message, but did you see that new update that came out on Bianca?

Yeah, I looked at it literally right before you sent me the code for the podcast.

Isn't that crazy?

Did you see the way you lose the finger?

It looks like it's her wedding finger too.

Oh, geez.

Yeah, it looked, I did not realize that it was that bad.

Like, how in the world did she?

How did she even get hurt?

Like, it's been that long.

I don't remember.

I know.

Yeah, isn't that wild?

I.

Poor girl.

I hope that like she's still able to come back though.

Maybe not do as much as she was.

Because girl was on every episode every week.

Yes.

So I hope she's able to come back.

Maybe not to the extreme that she was.

Because okay, if Mick Foley could wrestle without an ear, I feel like you can wrestle without a finger.

Yeah, definitely.

She's got nine other ones.

She'll be okay.

Exactly.

I feel like that would be fine, but I also don't know.

Yeah.

I mean, we, you know, we seen John Wick cut off a finger and he's still made it through.

Exactly.

So.

So not to get sidetracked, but what's your, what's your, we're on number one, right?

Yeah.

Number one is the first ever women's NXT war games.

That I feel like was the first extreme match that we had seen, like extreme extreme match we had seen.

From the women's division and it, like, and now all those girls who were in that very first war games match.

Are some of the biggest names now in the entire industry.

I like it.

I like it.

That was a, that was a, that was a hell of a match that they put on.

I think the females knocked out, EO jumping off the top of the cage.

Was absolutely epic and that's really what set her up for the expectations that she has to do that.

Every war games now.

Well, and it really like showed that.

I mean, we talk about it every survivor series that the women's war games matches are 10 times better than the men's because they keep.

Even though they keep putting the same girls in.

They always deliver.

Yeah, yeah, that is that very true.

Very, very true.

Great job, Ariana. You were not a stupid idiot this week.

Yay.

Just Mike.

When isn't he a stupid idiot? Every time he doesn't show up.

I know, I know. Trust me.

We're going to have to keep a tally between now and when I come up to Albuquerque.

Yeah.

How many episodes he's missed.

I can't wait to see you put him on the spot.

I'm so excited to be in the room with you guys.

It's going to be a blast. It's going to be a blast.

I'm slowly like getting everything ready.

And then I'm waiting for you to tell me like, okay, this is the day that I'll be there.

And then I'm going to be like sonic the hedgehog in here, like getting everything all.

I'm so excited.

It's going to be it's going to be fun.

We're going to we're going to have a lot of fun.

We'll put something special together too for the episode.

Okay.

All right.

So, man, I have a I've got big shoes to fill.

Yeah.

That was a tough list to follow.

Okay.

Number five.

I am going with Stephanie Vaquette versus EO Sky at WrestlePaloosa.

Yes.

I think this match stole the whole show.

These are two future legend wrestlers that I absolutely wanted to see go against each other

from the moment that I saw Stephanie Vaquette on NXT.

So, I was just like, oh, thank you wrestling gods.

Best match to ever happen on that terrible PLE.

Yes.

Yes.

They were the only ones that probably kept that thing alive.

I feel like I blocked the rest of those matches out of my memory.

Oh, yeah.

I'm with you.

1000%.

Number four.

Oh, my god, this was one of the best NXT matches that I have ever seen from the females.

Amber Moon versus Shayna Baszler.

Like, this match was, I think I was at the edge of my seat literally for the entire match.

like it was so good just uh for those of you guys that haven't seen it go out

there and watch it you have to these girls beat the living crap out of each

other and they sold so much in it they gave us a storyline inside the ring and

it was just some really good wrestling some holy shit moments everything that

you needed it was uh it was a recipe for success and um such a great match

that I'll always remember another one you're gonna find this one you'll

probably find this one interesting um it's when Emma was doing her little

finger dance oh was it like what the bubbles or something like that yes and page

decided that she was going to end that yeah page and Emma put on such a great

match um I know Emma didn't get like she didn't I mean the fan like you know

the fans were with her for a moment but like when she crossed over to the big

show a lot didn't happen with her she came back a few years ago still you

know nothing caught on fire but this match between the two I thought it was

absolutely great and it's one that I'm gonna remember for a very long time

number two this is when Mickey James arrived to WWE it's the match between her

and Tristratus when Mickey James oh that was iconic yes it was such a great

match it was uh it was letting us know that Mickey James is here to stay what a

great character that she created and her being an obsessed fan with Tristratus

and it turns into a match awesome what a what a what a phenomenal idea and such a

great match from the two number one I got to go with my girl

Charlotte Flair ends the Oscar undefeated streak this I remember that oh my

god yeah this match I was soul fired up for it I didn't think my girl had a

chance in hell because Oscar was just straight fire coming out of NXT she was

untouchable and her and Charlotte meet these are again to future Hall of

Famers first ballot and they put on one hell of a match and for Charlotte to to

be remembered by defeating Oscar and her undefeated streak I think that's a

that's pretty damn that's a pretty damn good bullet point to have on your

resume agree that was a phenomenal match definitely was definitely was

awesome job I thought this was a I thought this was gonna be a great one there is

a question that I have for you when we get to Raw that me think of you just

made the list so when we get there you'll you'll know why I came up with this one

okay smack down Drew strikes again pulling thought to from out of his car is

good for business through the windshield like I had to I had to like play it back

a little bit because I was like how did he get the glass off of the windshield

right in order to pick him up out of his car so pull about it there oh this was

this was great I was like wow what a what a way to start off smack down another

thing that I'm loving about Drew is he is literally keeping Aldis on his toes

and that is great for business because now Aldis knows exactly what the

hardest manager in wrestling goes through the hardest single week every single

week my man that needs a drink they both do at this point oh by the way I've got

something cool to send to you so remind me when we finish up the show but I got

something to send to you and we're probably gonna be making them into shirts

yeah oh I'm excited for this news I'll wait tag title hot potato again oh my

gosh I was so upset about this I'm rolling my eyes Ariana how are you feeling

talk to me as a Damien Priest fan and as an art truth fan I still don't

understand why these two are together and why they're getting the titles over

hand-like motor setting machine guns which we will talk about later yes I

agree 1,000% when I saw that they won I was like you have got to be kidding me

here we go again like WWE just disrespecting just disrespecting the tag

teams and yeah yeah I've I'm I'm getting pretty burnt out getting pretty damn

burnt out the tag division needs help but I don't know who is going to help

them yeah yeah we're gonna talk about it in a second we yeah Dan

housings taking money now listen in this economy teeth are not a stable form of

payment I literally loved how he asked Candace Lorraine like she was like can

you can you help Johnny and he's like yeah you have a 20 and she's all she takes

it out of Johnny's pocket gives it to him he's gone well hey and I mean we'll

talk about it when we get to NXT but maybe his curse was listed with that

$20 that is a possibility that's a that's a great point that's a great point

so that was money definitely well spent yeah I thought that was a great

little vignette between the two of them I get Ariana can we just can we just

say Dan housing totally we were wrong I apologize for the Dan house and hate I

will be I will be on here and say that I was wrong I am backing you up I I was

wrong too I wasn't sure about this signing but the guy is creepy good yeah and him

on social media like he's replying to the hate comments he is and him on Twitter

just talking to everybody I need to see him and Chelsea Green do it

vignette yes yes maybe he can live lift the curse from her ankle and she can

she can stop getting pushed around I want to see him as part of the secret

harvest oh my god could you imagine that oh that be so good that be so good I

love it I love it um WWE stop fucking with us give us more tag matches the

talent is there all caps we I don't know how much like more we can like scream

at the top of our lungs for them to do better with the tag talent it blows my

mind because they have been putting on so many great matches when Smackdown

gives them the opportunity you know now that it's a three hour show we get tag

team wrestling these guys are doing a phenomenal job like stop fucking

around with the hot potato and giving the titles to these these you know

mixed tag or this mix and match tag teams like we have true tag teams give it

to them let them run with it exactly you let the who souls do it when the

bloodline was on Mount Rushmore and like I don't understand like the

who souls aren't the only true tag team in WWE there are other ones out

there let's shine them up let's give them a new soul run agreed not happy

seeing Cardona take the backseat after signing his booking has been very bad

Ariana I I don't understand maybe number one I don't understand when is he

Matt Cardona when is he Zack Ryder true that's one thing that WWE needs to

figure out I think if we let him be Matt Cardona then push give him a Matt

Cardona push because on the end he was a legend the Indie God and now he's just

there he's Zack Ryder right with a new name pretty much that's what it's

looking like because when he was Zack Ryder on WWE before they before they let

him go all he was doing was running around chasing wrestlers the only storyline

I remember is Zack Ryder ever having back in the day was when he was injured

and John Cena made out with Eve Taurus remember that one that's all because I

was so mad at Eve Taurus I was like what are you doing girl yeah those fun

romances that they love to give us so that is the only storyline I remember him

ever having oh my god I I had so much fun with him when he went on his internet

champion run when he was doing all the YouTube shit oh yeah and the and the

Hosky video dropped I was like no he did it it was so corny good but we need

something like that back or you know give him some type of run but him going in

there and getting the shit knocked out of him or dropping matches to kit Wilson

come on yeah what are we doing here like and maybe they're waiting for Chelsea

Green to be back up in in action which is what I'm hoping that could be a

possibility too I would love to see if Matt Cardona as the first bro or

something like that I don't know we figured out a creative title since she's the

president they yeah they definitely could come up with something cool we're

giving them ideas but it's they like to pick and choose when they listen they do

they do let me ask you a question it came up on the latest Cody Rhodes

podcast because Matt Cardona was on there and yeah I love listening to the dude I

think he's I think he's a genius when it comes to wrestling figures he's like

an encyclopedia but Cody asked him about a wishlist and what he hopes to do when

you know now that he's back in WWE and he took a pause but he mentioned like

you know like every other wrestler that joins WWE they want you know they they

want the title they want the WWE heavyweight title can you ever see Matt

Cardona carrying that title with who we have right now no no and I was

hoping there'd be a glimps of hope because I would love to see him with the

title even if it was kind of like a missed thing where he cashed in and lost

it in the same day but at least he got it on him like what I love to see it

yes but just because we love to see we'd love to see something doesn't mean

we're gonna get it true what about right what about the icy title wrapped around

him I'd see that okay all right now would that oh him versus Penta yes

that'd be a great one I would take that do you do you think it's the way that

WWE is booking him right now or do you think okay so let's put it this way let me

ask you let me ask you this way if Indy God Matt Cardona was on Smackdown would

that change your mind a little bit do you think that there might be an

opportunity for him to carry the title if he was on Smackdown no if he was the

Matt Cardona that the Indy God the you know if the Indy God I feel like that

would move mountains but I think also WWE has they sign all these Indy

wrestlers but then goes nowhere true with them I mean we've got Matt

Cardona on Smackdown and we've got LA title Raw both were Indy guys that got

signed and now WWE is doing more with the people they pick up from AEW than they

do with the Indy that's an excellent point that's an excellent point speaking

over AEW signings what happened to Royce Keys oh powerhouse hobs yeah they've

us to listen because I doubt okay I was wrong about the Dan Housen signing I

don't know if I'd be wrong about powerhouse powerhouse because people would

compare I know what would happen people would compare him to Oba because they're

both big guys powerhouse can't hold a candle to Oba yeah

possibility wise and on the mic Oba is a man I will talk about it yeah I'm getting

too excited I'm loving the vignettes from the air the irresistible forces I

love this tag team are you on I hope that they do not take them away from me I

hope they keep those titles for a very long time I'm with you I love it so

speaking of hey what the fuck happened Mention and B-Fab join Jake

I was so excited about this I how can they be with her she injured both of them that

was some bullshit talking about a holy shit moment I literally did not see

that coming you know when when Mention was right there I was like oh yeah she's

gonna whoop that ass with that kendo stick and no they're joining forces with

Jade how why I need answers is it if you can't meet them join them but they can

both beat her get that title off of Jade and then put Mention in a fair fight with

Jade cargo Mention will mop the floor with her I don't get it I yeah I did not see

this coming I was just like wow it I mean was it good yes cuz I don't think

anybody saw it coming even the crowd was so mad oh yeah oh yeah cuz you know I

mean we all know we've been saying it for multiple episodes that Jade needs all the

help that she can get but I never expected that the help was gonna come from Mention

and B-Fab we didn't mean that she actually needed help so they wasn't

but when it comes to LA night that cricket yeah crickets oh my god uh Mention

it Mention and B-Fab run into the ring they attack they attack Rhea Jade I I hate to

say it Ariana but is is Jade one step ahead of of Rhea right now because she actually got help

she had no friends last week I don't think she's ever had any friends other than Bianca

and look at what Bianca is going through Bianca is losing a finger I don't I don't know

is cuz now I'm thinking okay WrestleMania comes around we know Rhea has an ally with EO and I

don't think that's an ally ship that's gonna go away I don't think EO is gonna just turn on Rhea

but who else can we get in Rhea's corner because the way it's looking is B-Fab and Mention are

gonna come out and interfere some way yeah I I mean it looks like we just got a female faction

so who can we get to be on the side of Rhea and EO aren't the clown yeah aren't gonna show up

the Jade's really losing that title oh yeah she's gonna lose some other things other than the

title yeah she might lose a few limbs but you know what that'll make for good TV oh my gosh

literally just turned into a horror match I like it I like it oh my gosh so I was on the phone

with Thomas I think it was yesterday and he was like did you watch Smackdown they had

to totally carry Jade and I was like this is what I've been telling you

this whole time and he was like no I think you still hate her way more than she deserves and I'm

like no you don't get to switch side all of a sudden you're like no you're gonna stay over there

with that Jade side yeah you've been defending her all along no you see what I see you're trying

oh that's too good be careful with your words Toma Toma

oh when he said that solo was sounding like Roman

oh yes yes I saw red flash through solo's eyes

um um when he said that I was like oh shit I'm like one Shinsuke is getting in Toma's head

uh number two we just lost a member of the yeah we just lost a family tree of the family tree and

is Toma gonna go on a run on his own is something to go on between him and Shinsuke

do we not do we have another mix and match tag team coming up uh there's a lot of things I

my concern is if Toma leaves MFT is he gonna sink

I that's hard because we haven't seen him on a solo run

I'd like to see him versus Shinsuke a hundred percent

but after that I have no idea I'm with you because it's gonna be interesting to see like where

his storyline can go what's gonna happen is his contract gonna be expiring that's why they're

starting the storyline like there's a lot of question marks when it comes to Toma Tanga

yeah

I'm gonna say it Ariana till I'm blue in the face and I have no air left in my lungs we need more

Ilia give us this uh WrestleMania yes absolutely why we we were talking about Gunther why not

put Ilia up against Gunther because Ilia might kill Gunther I think you'd be okay with that I don't

know Mike I don't think Mike will but well Mike's not here to defend himself and he hasn't been

here in a while so yeah Ilia might kill Gunther it would still be a great match it would be

a hell of a match we know that yeah another banger match with him in Carmelo um I feel like

WWE has a Carmelo problem and they're throwing Ilia in there to keep him above water um

because the only other thing that'll save him is a tag with trick or to go up against trick exactly

yes yes sadly speaking of toxic and trick Williams jelly roll needs to go I am not

okay but him doing the slam poetry battle with Kit Wilson I was laughing the whole entire time

it was pretty good um that that interaction that he had between him and uh Randy or him was

way too long uh I felt like the dude had diarrhea of the mouth and I think Randy was even kind of

like giving him the look like bro shut up like I got your point yeah um I'm just not I'm not feeling

in there's another one that we're gonna talk about a little bit later on that I just do not care

to be on the show um yeah I don't know I'm just not I'm not very jelly roll right now yeah

also it bothers me that his theme song isn't even one of his own songs oh that's true

very true that has been bothering me the whole time that his theme song is by another country

artist and not him that is a great point I didn't even think about that is uh is kiana and julio headed

for a breakup I kind of hope so because I think they'll both be really good on a singles run

kiana is bingo looking really nice I think uh I think kiana's catching heat um I think julio is

so hot but I think she to the point where she doesn't need a manager I agree she's doing uh she's

showing that you know the English is coming in she's she's she's in her own element and I love

that and and I appreciate the way that she comes across to the other wrestlers she talks in her

language with a little bit of English uh I'm not this thing that they're starting with her and

Tiffany I don't want to see Tiffany as the new USA champion but I have a few and that's either

go uh for some reason wwe just likes to torture us and put this girl in front of us and

have a title on her for some odd reason but um it's definitely gonna be interesting to see

where kiana and julio go does this so if it's a breakup is this is this gonna cause for a match

between the two of them I think kind of like what we were talking about with zarya and soul

I think this one could also go either way okay like wwe fashion will it probably end up with them

in a match against each other yes okay but I also would not be opposed to them being like hey

like you go your way I'll go my way we'll meet up again down the road

I like that storyline better than the one that I have in my head which is kiana costs julio the USA title

and and Tiffany is your new USA champion which I'm getting those vibes very bad

and if like we talked about earlier if vence is coming back into power and helping out with

creative then I feel like that's the way it's gonna go yeah yeah that feels very Vince McMahon like

it's very Vince and I know from reports that I've read is uh triple age is very high on Tiffany

Stratton and I'm like I don't know why the athleticism is there the character is it yeah um

um are you on a who is randy talking to on the phone I have been trying to figure this out

since uh was it not this past monday but the monday before

and I have some ideas so reports came out of course like everyone teddb osi jr was in a lot a

lot of trouble yes um it turned out he is not guilty I saw that I couldn't believe it I was like wow

no I was like okay that makes no sense but so I've been seeing people say it's teddb osi jr um

which would make sense when it comes to legacy but I also don't see him getting in the ring anytime

soon um people are saying his dad I was thinking his dad because his dad played a big part when

randy went on that run against undertaker um yeah talking about great rivalries that was

insane yeah

and if it kind of feels like his dad would be that type of person to be like you know

randy what are you doing you're yeah you know why are you you know why are you being so nice to

everyone why are you you know the locker room friends like what you know what what's that what's

really going on here yeah the randy that I know would would this be cool if it was one of the

higher ups that randy was talking to like triple h I think I would like to see that too

because hunter would be the person to be like this isn't

I didn't get my father in law to hire you back years ago for you to suddenly turn into

this good guy yeah everyone's best friend yeah

yeah maybe it's triple age Ric Flair I know Batista probably would not step foot back into a ring

but maybe we're getting evolution that would be cool that would be so cool another another thing

that I was thinking what if it's nobody what if it's what if it's literally the voices in his head

what if it's randy talking to randy and you know what that would not surprise me

well I was thinking either because he does say like wrestling has more than one royal family

and of course my gray Wyatt history mind went back to when he was part of the Wyatt family so I was

like oh what if he's talking to Bodala oh that's a that's a stretch that is a stretch but that would

be amazing I like that I like that that's really good because then it puts the focus back on the

Wyatt six and everything that Uncle Howdy is or Bodala has been saying because you know because

then you can start like dissecting this poetry that he's giving to us and being like oh okay like

you know because randy is speaking very like he's not randy

like he's speaking in like rhymes and impoetry like he quoted it's a theme song

yeah he did and I was like that randy has never spoke like that at least to my knowledge

it's been a while since we got that randy I'd to be honest with you it feels like

the last time we had that randy was when he was with the Wyatt six and he burned down the house

yeah

interesting I wouldn't if we get that I'm going to lose it if we get that at Mania

I would be so happy yeah that would be really cool that'd be really cool you know what would be

oh my god you just gave me like like what if it went dark and then all of a sudden the lights went

on and the Wyatt six was surrounding the ring and Cody's totally fucked I would love that

because because they could even call it back and be like Cody you said WWE was your family

and you turned on the whole entire universe when going when making AW and then you turn on your

AEW family by coming back yep and let's not forget about the obsession with the title that that

could pass with it like oh I hope randy win I would love if the Wyatt six helped him win

that would be that would be epic that would totally WWE you're welcome if you had not thought of

this before you're welcome right we just gave it to you oh man speaking of people raising the

eyebrows Drew and Fod too how are we feeling for WrestleMania now that they finally fought the

entire Smackdown I don't know where these guys get their cardio from give me a no roll hard core

no DQ match

like they're pulling each other out of cars they're beating the crap out of each other back safe

they can't just go have a regular match at WrestleMania right we need some stipulates yeah there's

so there's some crazy shit that needs to go down yeah um I loved it I thought it was great it kind

of reminded me of when uh who was it like a couple months or maybe even last year but wasn't in like

Nia and was it Nia and Tiffany Strayon or Nia and not Jade right that were beating the living

shit out of each other for literally like the whole the whole show it was one of those two yeah it

was Nia again somebody um but that's what it kind of like brought me back to and I loved it like

every time something was going on there's Drew and Fod too slamming each other and like you know

taking the cameras away from what we were watching um just uh just all around good stuff and it's

it's getting me it's getting me more excited uh do I still want Drew versus Aldis absolutely

are we getting it probably not right now maybe later down the road but uh Drew and Fod too

are are definitely feeling uh that empty space that that that I have right now yeah

let's get raw is uh is WWE trying to sell us that Brock has a chance in hell against uh

over well they have not sold me I am not sold there is a no way did you see the look on Brock's

face afterwards like he's stressed there was a moment where you saw some fear in his

eyes and the look on Oba's face was like dude like Oba is like so fucking deep into this match like

I think we're probably gonna get the match of the the match of WrestleMania from Brock and Oba

like I'm putting out there right now 100% this is the first time this is the first time since

Goldberg I would have to say that Brock has ever had like a true match in an opponent yes

yes uh can we just say that the Oba strut is so flipping over I love it and the fans do too

did you saw the time yeah the same way I like even sometimes when I'm like

I it's just it's it's it's so catchy it's so much fun to do and it's like when you're on a mission

you just gotta do the Oba strut yeah it's like when I'm going in the refrigerator and I'm like oh man

I'm gonna smash those chicken tendies right now Oba style like here we go

even when I'm getting ready for the podcast I'm just like all right here we go was in the Oba

strut before we hit record there was a cool video that I saw with Stephanie McMahon and Oba

where he was teaching her the strut it was so good I love that um god Oba is so over right now

I'm loving everything I know I've said it before but Bravo WWE for getting it right with this guy

um it's it's gonna be it's gonna be great it's gonna be acting it's definitely gonna be epic and I

I am seriously looking so forward to this match like this match is literally

all I'm looking forward to at rest well not all I'm looking forward to him I'm I'm I'm being a

little being a little over but it is the match that I am looking forward to for WrestleMania

yeah uh for something that I could give two shits about is Logan Paul and Tom Brady I do not

care about their little flag football bullshit they're back and forth and um I just don't care

I don't want to hear about it like I don't think anyone really does yeah I think this is uh I

think this is trash and uh shame on you and WWE for even uh even trying to run with it please

don't put Tom Brady in a match versus Logan Paul that's not what anyone wants nobody wants it

nobody wants it at all uh as much as I hate to say it I am gonna say thank you Jay I have not

been a Jay fan for quite some time um but uh him punching uh Logan Paul in the face with

his own brass knuckles is uh good for business yeah I love it I love it um

all right Ariana here is where I came up with the uh you just made the list

can AJ and Becky be one of the greatest rivals ever in WWE they have to be

even though they've only been they've only been paired up together for such a short period of time

the chemistry is there it's ridiculous how good it is they could not have picked a better first

opponent for AJ Lilly because not only do we have the issues those two have but we also have

both their husbands have issues with each other that go back years

Becky Becky being upset by seeing her daughter play AJ's music and skipping around the house is

so fucking good for business and I love how AJ clapped back and she was like and apparently I'm

your daughter saved right yes that was so good um god I

there was times where I was telling you where I was over the man gimmick um now that

Becky has gone away from that but now she's kind of like sprinkling it a little bit for

WrestleMania but the fact that we're getting AJ and Becky at WrestleMania and the way that

Becky has been working absolutely amazing I love the you know everybody says it even even uh sports

illustrated even Bleacher report like it's she repeats it so many times but it's so catchy and

it's so funny for the fact that she holds on to that um it's it's it's it's good entertainment

it's great entertainment the fact that she's throwing it at AJ is just it's it's it's so good

well and it's also funny because I mean we've said this multiple times on the podcast

her character reminds everybody of a certain someone that is running our country

yes uh like to it she she's even come out and like picked out that a little bit

and been like basically like yeah this is what I'm doing but for those two of the work so well

together and like I said they couldn't have picked a better opponent first opponent for AJ

and she's pulling out stuff that I had never seen her do

especially like now in her career they just they look so well together they do they do they do

they they they gel really good yeah it's um it blows my mind how great the chemistry is uh

between the two and and the reason that I I threw that question out there is because some people

will be like oh well they have in they've had like one match well they're getting ready to go

like on there well technically this is their second their the WrestleMania will be their third match

yeah um but like the not it's not only about

matches and what they did inside the ring it's what they did outside of the ring the mic battles

the back and forth uh becky you know asking Dan housing to uh you know curse Jessica car

and that there's all this she's pointing the finger at everybody but herself

yeah you know and and the way that AJ you know cuts her her promos and like they're just so

good right now they're so good and they're giving us such a great storyline um this is this is

extremely exciting extremely exciting great great all right all right here's another question uh

I I would love to hear your thoughts so a penny for your thoughts but can WWE save LA night with

the rock just a thought yeah that's hard because for me that kind of confirms what a lot of people

are saying that LA night is just like a carbon copy of the rock and I don't want to see that

happening could they give us something so good that people look past it possibly

did you know did you notice did you notice something that was above LA night when he was talking to

the Usos wasn't it the rock on the on the trailer yeah in old picture of the rock they need to update

that um if they because if we look at it the rock and LA night have to be two of the best people on

the mic there's no doubt about that honestly I'd like to see them and Stone Cold Steve Austin have

a segment at Mania okay if we could get those three in a promo what I don't know if it would put

LA night over more but I think it would help okay could like with all the complaints and everything

that we've had about the way that WWE has been booking LA night the reason that I asked could the

could the rock be the one that can make us forget all of that and not worry about a title run or

could the rock be the stepping stone to getting him to that said title run

possibly because let's say and this is like you like just thinking towards the future if we get

if Cody still has the title okay after WrestleMania the rock could be like look at you you've done

so much after I offered to take you under my wing and you turned your back on me

but look at what LA night's doing and we can get LA night vs Cody

there we go

I like that that's another twist that I wasn't thinking of

which that I mean that would that would move the needle for me

absolutely because LA night can get under people's skin yeah he's definitely getting under

J skin yeah which I'm still hoping for that four-letter word match but we'll we'll see what happens

there but for the fact that LA night has been going through all this shit getting in trouble you

know people being pissed off at him whatever the case may be he feels like the the black sheep of

the WWE but I think if they were to throw the rock at him I would say like that would be WWE being like

hey man we've yes we've been upset with you yes you know there's been you know these hiccups

and there's been this and that but we still love you we're still putting you out there and here's

a gift please embrace it please run with it and we'll see where it goes I hope that's what this

would turn into me too I really love LA night and him getting mixed in with the bloodline is huge

but if they give him Jay Usel then it goes to the question what afterwards yeah that's what

and maybe again WrestleMania is always the one where it shakes everything up and we never know

what's going to happen until after yeah so maybe we'll find something out and hopefully if we do

get him in the rock like who's not to say that WWE might pull that out and are putting a bug in

the rocks here because I mean we know tickets have been struggling if they put the rock in LA night

as a match on WrestleMania those tickets are going to go up that would be insane

speaking of moving the needle does Bayley and Lyra move the needle for you as a tag team

they do but I'm also still confused with their dynamics though

because we've gotten away from Bayley with split personalities and I feel like we've all

good does kind of forgotten about that and I think Bayley's getting desperate and when she gets

desperate she turns on the people who she's closest to yes

is this is this a tag team that we want to go that we want to see against the irresistible forces

I'll take it you'll take it the underdog story I don't think they're going to win

I don't think so either they better not I hope not but we'll see we'll see okay

another celebrity or whatever that I just hate that WWE brings these assholes in but I'm just

going to say it IP or whatever his damn name is he sucks he's terrible and I'm glad

downhousing cursed him so I'm just waiting I hope we give a damn house in video on YouTube

because I was the whole bet with the race downhousing gave him an excellent offer and this dude turned

it down like a dummy so I don't I he's only there because he's a friend of Logan Paul yeah

these youtubers uh people speaking of people that need to be saved can you just grab Kairi and

just hug her I hope that comes soon because Oscar needs to take it back a few notches she does

I am feeling so bad for little Kairi like this girl cannot win even if she had the cheat code like

in her face when she's just waiting for Oscar to yell at her like she can sense it

yeah what do you what is it that you think that Oscar wants Kairi to do to make it up to her

Kairi one not Kairi Oscar wants Kairi to turn against Reya

interesting and to come back with the Kabuki Warriors

okay which part of me wants to see storyline wise but then part of me is also like that doesn't

lead to happen I'm um Kairi was breaking my heart and uh when Eo was talking to her I was just

like fuck I'm like this I'm I'm emotionally invested in yeah in this and uh I I want to see

Kairi have some success um I do want to see her up against Oscar uh I have for a moment there I

was sitting there thinking I'm like do I want to see her and Eo tag up no I don't want to do these

mix of matches anymore um I do want to see Kairi go on a run um by herself and I think Oscar would

be the first uh stepping stone to get her there yeah but um yeah this little this little lady she

needs uh she needs something and I was just hoping Eo will be there she needs to go to therapy she

needs remember that therapist that helped Kane and Daniel Bryan and their tag team struggles yes

she needs him definitely but maybe a better version one thousand a percent

agreeing with you uh speaking of the the female Steph and Liv cannot get here any sooner

I want to see Steph beat the living shit out of Liv please I hope she does

this is one of the three matches that I'm most excited for Romania yes yes um there's um there's

like more reports that have been coming out about Liv being very distraught um from her interactions

with Stephanie Vaquette I don't know if it's K-fabe or it better be K-fabe

that's what I'm thinking because like why is it like she's so emotional all of a sudden you know

I mean she's never been with like that with any other wrestlers but all of a sudden with Stephanie

she's very very emotional I mean maybe if it's not K-fabe then maybe it's because

Stephanie gets more over on a mic speaking another language than Liv does

maybe maybe Liv met her challenge right maybe

because every time like Stephanie Vaquette does a promo we're always like

like oh my gosh like her speaking in Spanish and like what she said and

like it's crazy and then with Liv like I don't know it's always about Dom

yeah it's it's it's it's very easy right now to buy into the storyline and everything that's

going on between the two of them um Steph coming out and attacking her and then them fighting

in the middle of gorilla was absolutely great for business yeah um apparently after that whole

scene was over uh people witnessed Raquel Rodriguez kind of coaching her and telling her like hey

it's gonna be okay like apparently she was like way emotional after all that happened um

um I like like I said I I don't know uh well it's it's the same reason that we saw when

Stephanie got right up in her face yeah all of a sudden she started tearing up and all that so

I'm like they better not put the title on her I hope not girl needs to grow a backbone if that

because she separated Raya's shoulder and literally injured a wrestler and did not batten

out but when she gets what's handed to her she freezes up yeah all of a sudden she can't handle it

I don't know I was laughing when Stephanie sucker punched Dominic Dominic I was laughing so hard

I was like finally forget Stephanie versus live I love Stephanie versus Dom and then the like her

just beat the crap out of him yes yes hey that match could definitely happen on triple A like you

know triple A will make those matches happen so give me that triple A listen not right undertaker

listen yeah please you want to sell some tickets that would I will fly to wherever the next

triple A event is yes yes I am with uh I am with uh oh man speaking of Dom thank you Finn is this

getting us more excited for Finn versus Dom I just want to see Finn beat the crap fast Dom

but knowing what's gonna actually like what's gonna actually happen is JD's gonna interfere

this is where I'm hoping where we talked about a couple of weeks ago where I was saying you know

maybe Finn bring some people back from the bullet club I hope so um I really I really hope and

feel that uh that Finn does that just so that we can you know even the table well this happens

that mania then we know styles will be there true so I wouldn't I mean he won't come out of

retirement but I'd like to see him there to even the odd because AJ styles can look at

Dominic the wrong way and Dominic will collapse so I wouldn't really be worried yeah

yeah Finn Finn definitely needs someone you know to help even the field but I don't understand

why JD is on the side of Dom when Finn and JD never had

really an issue the only thing that I can think of is that maybe JD for some weird odd reason

he feels like he's part of a family um but Finn brought him in like that's what I don't

understand I know I I'm with you I'm with you I it I mean it has to be something that Dom might

have said to him too or maybe we definitely I mean I

we love to we love to to piece the puzzle um maybe WWE will give us out or maybe JD will come

out and tell Finn like I apologize they you know they warp my mind or yeah some type of answer

what we'll see um

pump I'm just gonna say dude for a man that uses just for men go easy on us old timers okay

you know we we still want to we still want to look young we don't you know we're not exactly

ready to embrace the gray but you know for the fact that you're there bravo I'm proud of you

but me and Roman think otherwise um punk playing games with the family is very entertaining

what are you uh what are you gathering from all this how are how are you feeling about this

punk knows exactly what games he's playing and even though like we sit here and for like the past

couple weeks we've been saying oh like Roman won this one punk won this one did Roman ever really win

any of them because punk still does not look faze he doesn't

by him by the usos by anyone for the fact that he's almost playing all of them like you can

definitely tell he's getting in Jay's head um Jimmy is the even kill one he is just the outsider you

know watching um it made it very interesting when he grabbed punk to hold him back and then that's

when Roman struck after looking at Jay and Jay like you know telling him like you know go get him

get him you know like yeah so it made it I found that part very interesting because I was like

since when did Jay start calling the shots that's what that's immediately what I said I was like

when did Jay and we talked earlier about one of the tangas saying solo sounded like Roman

we got LA and I telling that to Jay yeah

yeah

do you think that this could be like a storm that's coming where Roman starts filling

the chaos that he created from three two three years ago

if it's going to and I mean if we want to go ahead and get into the next topic but that type right

into this I would have I would have to agree with you 1000% what what did punk mean by he's not the

one that needs help go back through Roman's history he's always almost always had someone by his side

to help him whether it was the shield then Seth Rollins left enambres was always right there

then Dean left okay then the bloodline starts

and I'm not saying Jimmy and Jay I'm just gonna say Jay because Jay's really the only one that's

getting into it getting into his business but Jay's interfering and Jay's calling the shots now

yeah

punk's never really had any help except for when he took over the Nexus true even what he was part of

straight edge society or whatever that was like he was the one that always called the shots

and that was clear yeah he's always he's always been on like I mean from for the majority of his

career like 90 90 95 percent of his career he's always been on his own when have we seen

Roman go on his own or go for a run on his own hasn't been since the shield broke out

can't be achieved if you don't have an island or people right yeah he talks about the island

of relevancy and a relevancy like and I mean in one of the promos punk literally told him he's

like you're on an island all alone but the interesting thing though is we're kind of seeing

seeing now like all the shit that Roman created during the bloodline it's all coming back to

vitamin the out snow I think we're definitely going to see him and solo have issues in the near future

I feel like them saying solo starting to sound like Roman I think that that was kind of foreshadowing

and we're going to get that and Jay's going to get hit in the crossfire I would love that storyline

I really would I've been I've been a huge fan of solo for a very long time yeah I've been wanting to see

him you know like what he did when you know he was carrying the bloodline when Roman was gone

and then when he started when he was just like you know what forget the bloodline I'm going straight

MFT and what he's been doing on there has been great for the fact that he got so upset with Tonga

when he called him Roman Reigns I think you're right they're foreshadowing a future storyline and I think

it would be great too it'd be a way of Roman you know before he leaves us because we've been having a

lot of wrestlers retire but before Roman Reigns leaves us I think that would be a great gift for him

to give to the future of the family and you know pass the torch to solo or not Jay no solo is the

only correct option yeah you know maybe give some love to Jimmy because there was a lot of great

storylines you know with Jimmy in the bloodline I mean Jimmy was the only one that stuck around when

you know Jay went off on his own and Sammy left you know and it was just it was just Roman him and

Paul Heyman so you know there's there's definitely a lot of gifts that he can give to the family and

we'll see what happens but I just I just find it very interesting on what punk is doing he's he's

in Roman's head bad big time big time like this is this is almost Drew McIntyre level yeah yeah

that perfect perfect example I like it I like it all right let's let's get into NXT I don't have

really anything guys on TNA right now at the moment it's been very hard in in the recent weeks

to keep up on all wrestling but I promise I'll have some updates for TNA very soon

but with the NXT rollercoaster it continues the the thing that I found very interesting that I

took away from NXT was Seoul is looking like the kill Ariana in this story line between her in

Zarya I feel this is bad for business but what I found the most interesting is that when Zarya was

talking the fans were very with Zarya and they were very much against Seoul I feel like it should

be the opposite though thank you that's exactly what I'm saying a soul hasn't sold

given Zarya opportunities I mean we thought that when she was injured she was like you go defend

the title Zarya lost the title yeah soul gave her like her spot was like you know I can't wrestle

but Zarya can you like I don't that makes no sense to why people are more behind Zarya

is it the story that Zarya spinning that the fans are buying into it maybe maybe Zarya kind of

seems like the underdog in the situation like that she was kind of pushed to the side and soul

like she was in soul shadow but that's not so full it's not so full I'd

if anything go after Shawn Michaels I don't know yeah the writers

this this match is gonna be interesting I think oh man I think Seoul's gonna put Zarya over

and say her goodbyes to NXT we've been saying it for a while we really want Seoul to move up

but man I just I'm a soul is so great I'm like why would she leave NXT without

carrying the title or anything like that but I mean it really is time for Seoul to move up so maybe

in some twisted NXT magician way that's their way of of getting soul out of NXT when's the next

main PLE for NXT standing deliver okay the it's probably gonna be on Thursday or Friday before

WrestleMania okay because that is so wins and I would like to see her somehow at Mania the next

interesting I don't know how she would like in what way they would bring her into Mania to

announce that she's on the main roster and she's a free agent but I I would like that

let me let's see I'm just throwing this out here I'm just I'm grabbing from the bottom of the barrel

we know Stephanie and Liv is gonna be something huge we know that live has Raquel in her corner

I'd like that would you be okay with Seoul coming to the rescue I'd be fine with that okay

I think that would be a huge pop I think that would be a huge surprise too that would be somebody

that we don't expect because everybody would probably be expecting EO right because now there's

friction between EO and Raquel yeah I'd like like if Stephanie was like but don't worry I came

prepared and then soul music hit that would be yes that would and the pop the pops you would get

from the real fans but don't just watch the main roster stuff that would be awesome that would be

awesome because I really can picture okay we've been saying that Rhea needs to take the title off

of Jade correct Rhea wins Rhea wins a title we'll just that's what we're hoping for Rhea wins a title

would there be some way that they could fit soul into there and soul shows up or it probably wouldn't

it probably wouldn't make sense right unless it's literally just a stared at like

one two three Rhea gets a title unless we just get a stare down between the two of them

like kind of like souls like I'm I'm ready

that would totally be like that would be it that would totally be a surprise it would that

would definitely feel like something that was not off script but I don't I can't figure out

the words I'm looking for but it would definitely be something that we would have to be like oh

shit like didn't see this coming but it looks good yeah okay

let's talk about Johnny wrestling Johnny wrestling may have finally come out of his depressed

sleep thanks to Dan housing taking his $20 and removing the curse

don't you need a curse lifted you just got to pay Dan housing 20 bucks 20 bucks it's all it

takes guys and your life will turn the frown will go from upside down to right side up right side up

thank you I thought this was funny I thought it was a good way of putting in Johnny Gargano

um it's going to be interesting now I think the match between him and Miles born is uh

is awesome uh it uh it also helps Miles born because I don't think he really has anybody to

go against right now yeah um and what better way to uh to give him an opportunity than with

Johnny wrestling because we all know uh Johnny did amazing with that title and it is a

title that he held very close to his heart um so this is good I I definitely love to see it uh

I believe it is going to be at stand-in deliver so that'll be that'll be a match that I definitely

definitely want to want to check out 100 percent uh it is time for 10 count with always ready

Ariana Ariana talk to us about the world of AEW so a lot is happening because in the next few weeks

April 12th is AEW Dynasty which is their next uh big like pay-per-view and it is looking

amazing so far um tonight it was Kenny Omega versus Swerve Strickland for a number one

contenders match and for the title of EVP which for the people that haven't watched AEW the EVPs

are Kenny Omega the young bugs um hangman at a page and it was Cody Rhodes because they are the ones

that brought up AEW that created it so Kenny Omega put his title of EVP on the line again Swerve

interesting wow that's a huge push for Swerve it was a classic match luckily Kenny Omega is our

winner and is going to be going up against MJF at Dynasty I like it I like it also at Dynasty it

sounds like we're getting Will Osprey versus John Moxley has this match happened before

it I think it's happened it happened maybe like once last year because it was basically the whole

entire AEW locker room versus the death riders and but if I remember correctly it wasn't an amazing

match so I'm very excited to see this but on like a bigger stage sadly Tony Storm is out of action

due to a backstage attack I'm blaming Ronda Rousey so if it is Ronda Rousey count two days

you got beef with Ariana good luck she's had beef with you for years

also another match that I'm really excited for for Dynasty we're getting Adam Copeland

and Kristen Cage so edging Kristen once again as a tag team versus FTR

oh I know you don't like FTR I not right now I I really like them I love them when they were

what the fuck were they called when they are in WWE even though WWE didn't use them right the

the resolution the resolution they started with an R the revelation revival yes

they started I like them just then they turned heel and all the fun colors were drained out of their life

oh I don't like them right now but I'm excited to see them versus edging Kristen that'll be great

I hope we get what was it the 10 second pose oh that'd be so cool if they could bring that back

for this match I would be very happy what um oh my god that that show that edging Kristen had

that WWE was running for a while that was I was so upset we didn't get a season two I know that was

my favorite thing to watch oh my god that was good stuff oh man I get home from school and there

would be a new episode up on the WWE network yes I would just sit and watch it over and over again

what was it like the edging Kristen show of totally wreaks of awesomeness yeah it's totally

wreaks of awesomeness oh man I'm gonna have to find those episodes if they're on YouTube or something

like that yeah definitely have to watch them again is there a certain wrestler that you want to

update us on or talk to us about that's been in the headlines and his wrestling career is

possibly on the line with AEW hold on what you didn't I miss some news you didn't hear the latest

or ricochet oh well no I mean okay number one also to those people who have who sent those

death threats to his wife um there is a warm place in hell for you yeah I think that was really

fucked up I don't care how much you hate a person or you love a person you don't do that um

and maybe ricochet is taking a step back so his wife doesn't have to deal with all of that

do you do you even though his character's a dick I don't feel like he's like that in real life

essentially when it comes to her it totally caught me off guard you know what I mean when I saw

that like what was it that he said to the fan like I'm glad you have MS or something like that

yeah yeah um I know it's getting a lot of backlash in everything but like so

obviously it was ricochet in character right I don't yeah but people can't differentiate

that nowadays yeah they don't they don't understand that part um do you think it becomes a storyline

or do you think AEW truly does let him go I don't know because see and this is where I'm torn MJ

the one of their biggest stars MJF has said things ten times worse true on national television

and on his social media and everyone's like oh my gosh it's just MJF ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha yeah it's just

like MJF but I think because ricochet is once in a generational talent like if you look at

how he actually works in the ring the stuff that he's done like he is extremely talented

it's just his Mike skills that need work but we've learned that those that you can learn

you can learn Mike skills it takes a while to learn in ring talent

but I think if people are threatening his family I think ricochet might make that call

I don't know if it's going to be Tony Khan specifically but I think ricochet is going to make that

call if this continues very interesting yeah it's uh when I was reading up on in everything because

I was just like what the hell is going on with ricochet like it was popping up all over the place

and then I saw what he had said and I'm like oh but as a wrestling fan I'm like oh it's ricochet

being in character you know it's not yeah you know it's not the real ricochet and MJF has said

I don't understand why we're getting so bothered about ricochet

when we have characters like MJF and CM Punk

exactly exactly yeah there's uh there's a lot more things that uh that have been said compared to

what ricochet came out with but uh it's going to be interesting to see what happens of ricochet

like does he get pulled off the show do they let him go like I it'll time we'll just have to tell

yeah we'll have to sit and watch like we thought Vince was we never knew what Vince was going to

do I never know what Tony Khan's going to conjure up did you see the other news that Tony Khan had

made an offer on WWE when it was up for sale I feel like that's the darkest timeline

if Tony Khan would have won if if he would have bought out WWE because Thomas sent that to me and I

was like I I want to visit that timeline just to see what kind of matches we would have been getting

I think that's something that we'll have to put on the table for a future episode just

okay well because I sent you the video that and it was like a guy doing a skit and he was like

if Triple H and Tony Khan yes which rolls that was so good I want that like Tony Khan looking

out robering thing like so how do you feel about a Texas death match yeah exactly how do you

feel about a syringe being stuck to your cheek and at CM Punk just sitting there because

apparently CM Punk is Tony Khan's worst nightmare yeah yeah like sweet prowess of Steven

oh man good stuff good stuff well guys like everything these are things that will keep our eyes on

and we talk we will talk about it in a future episode but unfortunately time gets away from
