Episode 624: We Forgot How To Speak English

0:00And like the midnight and the rock and roll, like he's in a fight for wrestling, so are using a racket and some mind control. Like he's Jim Colnest! Look, he's to the future. He'll buy the past and attack the partner Orion last. He sends this message out by podcasting. Jim Colnest! Well, he's never fake of only air. He never backs down from a fight. He never wins the pony. Because his mama raised him right. It's time to prepare your mind. Get the experience, get the experience, get the experience, get the experience of Jim Colnest!

1:00Hello, we get everybody and welcome to another exciting episode of the Jim Pornet Experience. What a week it's been in wrestling. People arguing, people quitting their jobs. Too bad none of it was on the air. But we are, and joining me for all this and more, Orion, Brian, the podcasting, Lion, the King of the Arcadian Vanguard podcast network. Mr. Co-host to you. He's Dan Housen's favorite podcaster. The Great Brian Last Housen. Hello, Jim. A pleasure to be here once again. It sounds like someone has changed their tune housing on Dan Housen. We'll find out what you have to say here today. No, I think everybody's out of tune about tune housing. Dan, Dan, that Dan Housen. That ought to be on Comedy Central. Dan, that Dan Housen. He just comes around and creates chaos. And Dan, that Dan Housen. And on the topic of horror show host, even though he isn't one, he should be. But I just saw pictures of Gwenguly outside of her Gwenguly makeup. My God, what a good looking woman.

2:00Well, what is it like you're saying that she's, she's ugly in herself up when she's win Gwenguly? I thought she was a very, a very commonly last. Well, indeed she is. Just wonder. You know, that's a phrase you don't hear enough anymore. No, you never hear it anywhere. She's as my, as my grandmother Coco would have said, she's a very commonly last. My grandmother was born in 1886. I believe it either 85 or 86. And so when I was a little kid, I got a, a, a florid vocabulary from a previous era. Anyhow, speaking of a previous era, you know, the week started off, Brad. We've had five days this week from Monday through Friday. That's the normal number. Monday morning, we had freezing rain and snow flurries, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. It's poured rain like pouring piss out of a boot.

3:01And today, Friday, it is going to be at least 81 degrees the all time record high. With another heavy round of rainstorms come tomorrow. And again, next week. But to pour people up and see more Indiana went from three inches of snow on Monday morning to a record high temperature on Friday afternoon. I turned the air conditioning on though. It is a landmark day in the, in the year when I, this is the first day of air conditioning. How you doing up there? Have you melted yet? There's still some snow on the ground, but it rained. It rained. Yeah, I guess that is what you say. It rained all day yesterday. It is what you normally say about. It sounded weird. Sometimes you say it normal word and it sounds like a past tense rain event is rained. Well, in the moment it was raining in the present time. We are here after that. So we're traveling through time and space has normal here. But most of it's gone. We're rambling.

4:01There's five. There's lots of fog. Lots of fog in the brain fog is moving in off the coast. All right. I want to make a confirmation on something that we said that I said I believe that to be true. Well, on one of the shows we just did. Like we do every goddamn day. The fellow the fellow that I knew that went to the Smackdown event in Louisville. Last week for Friday night of the last Friday of February. Second row rings at seven hundred dollars each. Each. And another comment was a lot of downtime. Another comment was. When everybody was standing up even on a second row because it's I said he took his son, right. On a second row of people are standing up. The kid can't see. He's tried because they stand now. I remember.

5:01Do you remember? Are you old enough, Brian? Would you went to big league wrestling events and major buildings when people were all standing. They got on the PA and said, set the fuck down. You're getting people's way. Sit down. Please return to your seats. Never that. But at the Nassau Coliseum they always had these off-duty cops that would come over and get you back to your seats right away. Well, no, this was well, I was. No mega phone. No mega. I was not with a megaphone. I'm talking about the PA system. I've been in the seventies. The PA announcer had a please return to your seats and people are crowding the ring going to fucking. Set fire to it or whatever. But anyway. So they were too close. To see the screens over their heads. Right, which is like being in a front row of a drive-in fucking theater. And at the same time. They couldn't look to the left and really get a real clear view of the big entrance screen because all the people keep standing up on the entrances. And it and then.

6:02Basically, there's a lot of time in between. So there's a seven. For fucking. Wait a minute. I'm trying to do the math here. Uh, five 50 for $250. You could see you could sit on the front row. Of every one of 52. Yearly events at the Louisville Gardens. When I was a kid and see. The you could get blood on you. You were so close and see the greatest fucking wildest ass wrestling you've ever seen. Oh, yeah. Now it's three times what it used to be in a year. Just to go to the show and sit on the second row and. Watch people talk to each other. You can just take that money and get the best TV you could find. And it will be a better experience for you to get your own food and go to the bathroom and stuff. The big question is if someone pays that amount of money. For a seat in a second row.

7:03How likely are they to come back. Even if it was a great night just because of the price. If WWE returns that at town one year later. Does that person say I have to go again? Or does that person say, you know, I spent a thousand bucks last time between parking and food and beer and seats. I can't do that again. You know that this was almost more in the category of like a bucket list thing that he wanted to do with his son because of his. Fun memories of days gone by and. And he didn't exactly let his life know how much money he spent type of thing. But beyond this is not something that he would ever do regular. But I'm saying and beyond. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. In this test case, you know, see what we're doing one of these double blind studies. Did I mention he's blind. Also, so he really couldn't see very well anyway. But it was in it. In this double blind study where we sent both of these blind people to the show.

8:03That's an example. That's a reason why they spent that much money. There's not a lot of people that can spend that much money just every goddamn old time. And again. You know, if they if he did it now, but even if he liked it, it was the first time in ever that he'd done it the next year. It'd only be the first time in a year for maybe the same amount of money. See that's that's where I'm going with that. And it's another thing maybe the same amount of money. It's not going to be the same amount of money. It's going to go up. There's been no signs that take a price. I don't want to see how it can. Then they're going to start doing shows for some 500 richest fans. They've got in a 20,000 seat building. My God, you'd have to turn to crime against any more expensive. Some people may have already contemplated turn to I think is potentially the company selling the tickets has turned to crime because this is fucking highway robbery. It's going to be interesting. Again, you know, and we'll probably talk about it maybe on a future show.

9:03Just the comparisons of when they return to a market. I know wrestle nomics has done a bunch of reports about it. You know, WWE. There are some places there up. But they're down in a lot of places. It seems like and again, I'm not saying, oh my God, for WWE, they're going to go out of business. They're making so much money. And that's what people say. What you shut up. They make it so much money. Yeah, I get it. I mean, it sucks right now. But I get to make it all this money. But they're burning out their fan base in every way. And this is a conceivable way. This is not low or just trying to find something to pick on. This is a major story of how they are getting these obscene grosses for basically for the product that they are currently offering. And or the excitement level of saying. And it's a part of a giant multi billion dollar machine. And they've taken over the global combat sports industry. We're not just trying to find something to pick on them about though.

10:04It just, you know, it almost sounds like when you describe. You know, the waiting around. And you get some cool moments. You get to see big stars. Even though it's raw and it's a live broadcast. It's almost like you're describing the old four hour, five hour monthly tapings for challenge and superstars. Yeah, they consider it even at those prices. Even at those prices live. They still consider it a television event. And it's all geared toward television. And I mentioned it the other week. But it haven't even as somebody the level of seeing punk. And I'm not again, I'm not glazing as the kids say glazing punk. But it could be the level of him presented in the company or a drew or a Cody or someone of that level. Making their entrance will be right back folks. And then they go to a break and then they come back and they got a backstage thing and then they got a travel long and they got a drone shot.

11:08And then they come to the ring and thus fucking one of the biggest stars to company has been standing there with his dick in his hand. Whistling Dixie. For five minutes. And then they get to start. I would have either. Have gotten so goddamn mad. I can walk to the back and said, fuck y'all I'm gone or I would have started a riot on a microphone. One of the other because that's got to be excruciating as a performer. To go out there and God and then just stand there. Are they done yet? And I hate that. And I'm not justifying it, but it was one thing doing that when you were on broadcast TV and you were trying to time the commercials to make sure you didn't lose audience. It's a different way of losing audience on Netflix. They don't need to have the commercials or the breaks where they do. You can now have a guy's music hit and he can go to the ring and you can start the thing. You don't have to put the commercial there. Because it's not like you're just changing a channel when you're on Netflix.

12:11Well, and even if it was under control where they could get a two minute break in while one of their biggest stars is, you know, circling around the fucking ring, shaking hands or whatever. But it's all geared to television and the live audience. I guess they think it's their pleasure to sit there and watch the TV show that they got to watch it home for free. Just because they're there in person, which then because they're there in person, they're doing a service for the WWE because they've got a big large enthusiastic audience to make everything look good. So thank you for coming and paying to do us a favor, making our show look fucking great. All done television tapings at house shows they did it in the pocket days. I'm not just talking about taking one camera like in Memphis or some of the other and shooting what's going on at the house show.

13:14I'm talking about the full-fledged TV tapings and the people still didn't have to sit there. We were live to tape and we well, you've seen the the flare wind of matches or the flare Garvin matches or the midnight express fantastic matches where we might go 30 minutes or whatever. And they would have commercial breaks, but the match was still continuing. You weren't here what Ric Flair wasn't coming to the ring for an interview and then taking a two minute break. And while Ric Flair stood there and did the helicopter. And then come back and he starts talking it. You were able to capture both what you needed on television and not make it suck for the crowd. It was in Baltimore where the fuck it wasn't a big building. We're doing a TV tape. I do not mean to go on about this, but God damn.

14:14I'd be pissed. I believe Jesus Christ paid all this money and I have to sit here and watch them stand. I got a pinnacle in my ass as Dusty Rhodes once said to a poor unsuspecting fellow. Anyway, let me a couple things here real quick. I got and I got paperwork. I wanted to recognize some people since I'm backed up on emails and acknowledging a few folks not Roman Reigns, but we got an email. The bride, both of us from Matthew, who is one of the listers, is wife Melissa lost her father back in late January. And she's become a fan obviously through Osmosis through him, but then listen to us make fun of AEW. He said and listen to me make fun of President pig shit. So she's got good taste. So Melissa, we're sorry to hear about that. And also from Donald, who lost his cat Morris and Donald, even if that is an unoriginal name for a cat, we feel your pain.

15:30Brian from scranton. What the hell was that his family? What even though that was an unoriginal wanted to put down the cat. I didn't put down the cat up put down Donald. Donald was his name. The cat's name was Morris. I put down Donald for naming the cat Morris. What do you think the cat came up with his own fucking name? Why do you have a problem with it anymore? Oh, the call me Morris. Is Morris a common name with a lot of cats name Morris? You made it sound like it's something he's just coming from. Of course he is a you to Morris the cat. What a way to back up here before I go. Who the hell's name in their cat Morris in 2026, Jim? Apparently god damn Donald. Donald would have been would have been an over that would have a trend would have come to it in Morris the cat. You just said you know about Morris. Are you familiar with my two familiar with Morris the cat? No. Oh, cry. No. Brian, I'm begging you. I'm big.

16:31I'm pleading with you, baby. I'm pleading. I'm down on my knees. Just from the commercials. Oh, get the hell out of here. Morris the cat. Yeah. I don't. I forgot all back these commercials like the rest of society. What the hell? Oh, apparently, Morris the cat's still active. Ways how old is he? I don't know if it's the same one, but it's been appearing and packaging on commercial since the 70s. Makes it sound like it's still active today as well. I guess they have to take care of that fucking cat. He's worth a lot of money. See if he can afford the best vets and you know anything going to happen in 2006. Morris was depicted as adopting a kitten. Lil Mo. From a Los Angeles animal shelter representing the first adoptee in a campaign known as Morris's million cat rescue. Well, that was sweet, but Lil Mo. But what was Lil Al Vesor fucking already adopted? This is from Wikipedia. He was quoted.

17:31He was quoted at the got you with that one, didn't he? He was quoted at the 1993 end of the year edition of People Magazine, which noted deaths of 1993 to which he was quoted a simple meow in honor of the death of his friend fellow advertising mascot, the dog Spud's McKenzie. Oh, I remember Spud's McKenzie. Well, of course you did. He was cool. He was cooler than Morris the cat. Well, but Morris was a more a more. Not the not Donald's Morris the cat, the real Morris the cat. Oh, the, the. You know, I'm not the original Morris the cat. You know, you were both real. They both existed, but the celebrity. Morris the cat. Morris was loved by small children and their grandparents, whereas Spud's McKenzie had to be a goddamn. You have to turn on the TV lesson rep rebate. You just had to turn on the TV and see a commercial in the middle of the meds game. That's all you needed.

18:31A bunch of fucking slovenly drunken dogs, carousing round. Give all the canines a bad name with their irresponsibility and bad behavior. And y'all have you know that canine DUIs were up 40% during the Spud's McKenzie era. I think the point is our condolences to Donald's. That's right. Yes, Donald. Brian from Scranton. Now, you know, it is a somber occasion here. He and his family lost their dog Snickers who was 10 years old, 20 pounds of twisted steel and puppy appeal. And it would mean a lot to them. If, if we could give him a small mention and. Do you have any pictures of a doing bodybuilder poses and tights? Maybe we could put out a memorial to the humane society with Snickers. You have any problem with naming your cat Snickers? No, it's a dog naming your dog Snickers.

19:31You have any problem with any of your dogs? No, because there's no famous dog named Snickers. If it was Lassie, I'd have said the same goddamn thing. I said to Donald. Oh, God. You know, once a dog's name is famous, it's retired. Like you can never name another dog or cat that name. Well, it just seems like who names their kids Elvis, huh? In Mexico. In Mexico, they may. Well, and now we don't have any control over what they do in international fucking water. Is Elvis Costello? That's not his real name, but there's Lves. Remember Lves? I didn't know I don't. So I'm as dark in the dark about him as I was. You were about fucking more as the cat. I lard pill him the Swedish Elvis Presley, but I lard pill him. But I guess the question that you're trying to avoid the answer to is once a celebrity animal is out there. Is that name retired from ever being used for another? I thought I answered another canine or feline, and I believe I answered it.

20:33It's in the over egregious case of a Morris the cat or an Elvis the person. Or of a Lassie may qualify as well. Goofy. Goofy the dog. That would be kind of, you know, but again, there's a few of few of these things you ought to just retire was goofy high. I mean, the idea that Pluto was a traditional dog. And goofy is goofy in a arrow and goofy man. Hey, this guy went behind the building and had some of those goofy cigarettes. No, it's they were making fun of the of the mentally challenged as you know, you would say now. But before he was just he was stupid is what he was. Can you name a dog, Pluto? Wait a minute. Did I lose it? I said, yeah, huh? Did I lose you? Did you go in or out? What? What just happened? I'm talking to you. I said, and I was thinking and then you scared me.

21:36No, there was such a long break there. I thought the internet went out of it. Well, because no, because I'm trying to think if he's into public domain yet. Was he in steamboat, Willie Goofy? No. No, it didn't come along till later. That's right. As soon as he enters the public domain, then it's okay. Like there are plenty of people get rabbits and him them bugs, right? Well, rabbits don't count. The hell's that mean? Well, you can have all the famous rabbits you want. All right. Well, Brian, we're sorry for your loss. You and your family. And anyway, and one more thing. Hold on. Wait a minute. What have I done? I put to other things. Right. Here we go. We have an update. From one of the topics that we previously spoke about here on the program. The. The incident in Muleenburg County with the man and the deer on the side of the road. Brian is I don't want to just. Oh, this will come out.

22:36It especially in the first 45 seconds of this clip and just say what was happening. But the man was arrested for. Fornication with the deceased. Dear carcass on the side of the road. The evidence against him was pretty strong because the cop caught him with. Blood and fur all over him. And we. Will you just say I'm not just I'm not even getting to them again to the update yet. I know you're convinced that the blood and the fur was from the dead animal. He was having fornication with or whatever you want to call it. But I like engaging in the act of fornication with be the way you determine. I guess so, but I like to imagine him kind of crawling up like Man Tar. I could the big thing on already. But no, I'm telling you no. Obviously, this guy didn't think things through far enough to maybe come up with that plan. But anyway, we got a message from from an email rather from John.

23:37And he the Jim and Brian about the man. Fucking the dead deer in Melanburg County. He was from Owensboro, which is over in Davies County. I heard this from several people, Brian, that what they were offended. While the incident happened in Melanburg County. In actual, the guy that perpetrated the deed was from over to next county in Davis County. And John continues the people over here in Melanburg County were surprised and grossed out that it happened just as much as the rest of the world. Never in a million years would expect the county to be world news for something like this. Unfortunately, because Melanburg County isn't known for much other than the Everly brothers being from Central City. James Best who played Roscoe P. Coltrane. Was from Powderley, Kentucky. And Melanburg County itself is mentioned in the John Prime song, which I sang a few lines from as a matter of fact.

24:40And thumb pick and legend Merrill Travis is also from Melanburg County. So musically, the area is rich in history. But for the rest of the world, sadly, it will only be remembered for that guy's actions. Oh, dear. That was from John. Well played there at the end. Well played. Everly brothers, you like the Everly brothers? What did you say to me? I said to you like the Everly brothers. I've never met either one of them. So I can't tell you whether I liked them or not. There are a few good tunes. I know that much. And you know, but I still think it was a goddamn flimsy excuse at best, Susie.

25:44We know what you're up to. And you ain't going out again at night with that son of a bitch. Fucking horror. All right, this is a turn. Well, you know, and they try to get away with these things. The kids, the young, the teeny twatters and boppers and things. So I came out in 58 Jim. I'm sorry I had taken a drink there during sip there swallow my. The bile that I had pursues. I mentioned of selling my clothing for. Take it off. It's come to this folks. I'm selling my clothing. This is going so well today. How much for this shirt? See, things haven't been going real well. I've overextended myself in the the Dalmatian breeding market.

26:47And now I'm selling my clothing. No, but as I mentioned last on your program, I think or one of these programs, Brian. I've got to the to the stage where I've been able to clean out my wardrobe. And with ring worn things that the Hulk Hogan boot selling for a million dollars. All right, fuck, you know, maybe I can get a nickel 95 for my stuff. But also, I've had this stuff out for a while. I'm moving things around and storing things in the castle. Now is the time. And I have tasked Mr. Feather bottom with coming up with a nice listing for everything. And putting it up on the website, you starting, I believe March 21st, which is a Saturday. You can say what I've done with the wardrobe, basically all the dress clothes I've ever had in my life. I wore on television or to the ring. You can attest to this about me. Have you ever seen me in anything with a collar or belt loops if I wasn't on fucking cameras or at a show more than likely not.

27:56So at any rate, I have taken the last five or six jackets that I bought and five or six pair of pants about eight or 10 shirts that I bought like seven or eight years ago when I first lost weight and needed some shit that fit, which is the last clothing I bought or ever will buy. And I've set that aside. Just in case I ever need it, you never know what I might have to go to court sometime. And I've cleaned out the closet and whether it be the last of my whacking rackets because I've retired from hitting people over the head. So I have several rackets that have in various stages of curvature, dude, being used to whack big wrestlers and two or three pair of eyeglasses that I've used. Obviously, if you've seen me on television or at a show with my glasses on, these are some of them because I didn't have like personal glasses and show glasses.

28:56They were just they were the glasses. Ring worn shirts, pants, suits, jackets, a couple of combos. I'm still checking on this, but I have Brian not only my TNA trading card. But I have the tie that I was wearing in the picture of the TNA trading card. You could make a nice little set of that. I don't know whether I'll frame it or not. I was framed when I went to TNA. But there's all kinds of end to end my Tuxedo shoes from when I inducted the rocker roll Express into Hall of Fame. And all kinds of cool stuff that we're going to be putting up the listings are going to go up on March 21st at Jim Cornette.com so that you guys can see everything because obviously due to the nature of it, everything listed is one of a kind. So we don't want everybody just to get all six people that are going to be fighting each other when they go on sale. We don't want to panic here.

30:03So you get a couple of weeks to look at everything and spy if you like something couple and then everything. Well, you know a couple of weeks. That way those rackets are going to go in two minutes. Everyone's going to jump all over those. Then the glasses will go right away right after that. No, that's what I'm listening to me. What I've been hear me what I'm telling you because they're going to have a couple of weeks to look at everything. So they decide what they want to go for and then on Saturday, April 4th at noon, everything goes on sale and they already they already can think of a personalization or they've seen the policy on the personalization because I can't write a goddamn manuscript on the back of a cloth shirt. So some of these are going to be limited, but they get nice little handwritten letters with each item indicating that they are personal and legitimate and things like that. So I want everybody to have a chance to look at it, see what they want to go for instead of just being mad panic and everybody getting all fucked up and just wait until you see how nicely the feather bottoms will be packaging all these items.

31:08They are they are working now on folding classes. They've gone over because nobody goes to the mall anymore. So they've just gone over to one of those department stores said, you show me how to fold shit. Those are those tuxedo shoes because I don't remember if it would have been rehearsal or afterwards. Were you wearing those shoes the last time you ever saw Kevin Dunn? I guess it was yes and and I wish I could say that there was still a little of his brain matter on the point he toes. But but no, those were yes, those were the shoes that I was standing in when I walked by the Kevin Dunn on purpose the last time that I ever saw it as he as he turned away from me and and huddled in a deep conversation over in the corner. So he couldn't see me and I continued by that was our interaction. But yeah, so you can you know, you can see the world through my eyes on my glasses or walk a mile in my shoes if don't try to walk a mile and tuxedo shoes.

32:16That's why I bought these things instead of renting them because of my extraordinarily flat feet, not it won't be fucking miserable. But now I'm not I do not imagine anyone will ever see me in a tuxedo again. Can you see what would call for that to happen? Some Saudi prince says, Hey, I want you to come to my wedding. I don't know any Saudi princess a princess or their daughter princess daughters would be any of the prince or princesses is this is. That they're offspring that would be getting married the episode where we forgot how to speak English upon us today. Yeah, are you ready to talk about some rasslin yeah road dog Brian James the former roadie and road road dog DX member close friend and confidante of.

33:19Triple age as apparently quit the WWE. And that's all I heard at first and then. Upon further examination of trying to find out what what people are saying. I know I know some facts, but a lot of people saying that he's recently was given his annual review. I guess they do that now. Because everybody's an employee or something or other and. But some people are saying it what related to that but other people are saying after he was given his annual review apparently they might have said something to him eat it fucking like. The Armstrong's get to a point where they decide they've had enough and then they just go they go home depends cola. But what do you know about this young Brian not too much you know the first thing I heard was just he was out. Not whether he quit or whether he was fired just he was out.

34:22And then the performance review stuff started going around and. That's where it kind of gets a little muddy I guess. Did he hear something like it just say fuck you I'm going home. Well see and they said okay. Well and but now sometimes sometimes when people say I'm going home there are argue with right at that point. And there's also the potential that they didn't might not wanted to but. There's also the potential that he just fed up enough of whatever the fuck. What was the famous line from Betty Davis to another actress in the 40s whose husband was messing around on her she said darling is the fucking you're getting with the fucking you're getting. Is is he just reached a mirror cracked moment is brother Steve Armstrong I told you this off the air but I'll say it fuck it. Because it's fucking classic Steve Armstrong went up there to work in I think 1992.

35:24And they made him lance Cassidy the singing cowboy or whatever the fuck he was. And he got on the they put him on one of those trips on the road. Where he hadn't been home in three weeks or whatever. And he told me because he came to work for me and smoke him out and finally after that. And he said I got up one morning like the super eight hotel and went in the bathroom and the mirror cracked. He just packed his shit up and came home went home to fucking Pensacola. And was was just as happy for it he just so I mean road dog is obviously lasted a lot longer but at some point. He may he may have felt disrespected by something they said or on the unreal episodes brought he did sometimes look a little disgruntled like well fuck.

36:27But it's the story is not going around that they gave him a bad review and then they let him go. It's that he went in and quit after they gave him a review. So I don't know what they otherwise and he's like well fuck it then which is to me is hilarious because he's he's one of the last remnants of the wrestling business. Nobody any none of the other writers on the goddamn team you ever hear about so I'll fuck it. I just go home it used to happen all the time. You know when Smackdown hasn't been good. Or at least enjoyable but then again neither has raw by and large there are moments and matches but the entire experience. Is not a pleasurable one is a viewer and a wrestling fan and there are weeks where you could just skip it. So you don't know how much of Smackdown is the responsibility of the head writer of Smackdown because.

37:32Being the head writer of Smackdown doesn't mean like everything I pick gets on Smackdown. It means he's delivering the script to the next person to the next person to get up to triple H. So wasn't there some kind of chain of command listed with the this other writer which I'll get to it a second they got a new raw writer. But I'm going to make this blanket state but which covers everybody even the knuckleheads on the fucking creative team. The fact that they have 10 or 15 of these writers apparently on each show means that you can't judge anybody on this creative team by what the fucking creative is. Because you've either got a couple people who really know what they're doing that's getting out voted or out politiced or you've got a couple people who really know what they're doing that's trying to do shit but the couple people that really don't know what they're doing on the other end of the spectrum are dragging them down in the middle or somebody in the middle of that has a favorite that is managed to make just enough of a little chase.

38:52Now for the little change that it didn't come off like it's just so you can't judge anybody the only way you could judge a booker on the creative team is if they were the only one. The only one that gets fairly gets to be judged as the booker is triple H because he gets the final decision but you don't know what anybody on the team has contributed except when you see it on unreal does that make sense Brian is Brian James or anyone in the head writer position. Do they ever submit the show they want to submit or they submitting a show that they think will get past Bruce Pritchard to triple H. You know what I mean like it's like submitting something for Vince's approval you're not writing the show you want to write you're writing something at this guy wants to be in charge of everything will want on the show and again I'm not trying to take whatever bad creative or good creative the road dog has.

39:57It's not even about that we don't know because it's someone else's show and well go ahead i'm sorry i will have you. It's you've you've got an element of something there but it's not necessarily as cut and dried a reason or as simple as that in that. Even if you're the head writer of a show if within this company structure you have a structure in the company we're okay we've got these guys they have to be pushed to have to be figured in blah blah blah okay i'm going to write for them but now also will these other people and the other creative teams are voting for these other people to be featured. And so you're sometimes turning in a format to the guy above you with like you might agree with 60% of the shit on there just because the other people have to have their goddamn input and then you give your thoughts but when that guy delays the information is ready to be fine with say one time on TV to the next person up.

41:05They may be putting more passion into the pitches for their fucking particulars. And it just it's it's a goddamn Jesus crisis worse than the Hollywood studio system in terms of more steps you have to follow and more input at least they'd have a scriptwriter or two and the producer would try to tell a director what to do. And if I you're done the post Vince McMahon I still don't understand why they want the system white still in place the system Vince McMahon build where he has to have a giant writing team and have to fly around and have to submit shows up to the last second and stay up all night. Why does it need to be a team professional wrestling never needed that until Vince McMahon decided he wanted that and then everyone was like well that's what we need we need writers. And again somebody I'm going to cut off the comments that some people are going to make by saying well it's so much bigger now than it was then and that is correct there is so many more people involved and so much more bullshit because they have made it to the point where every single goddamn thing has to be written every day okay here's the schedule for fucking.

42:28To Zawa to fart this afternoon at 3 345 430 tell him don't eat beans for lunch everything scripted and then there's so many promos so many commercials so many blah blah blah you got 18 million people around run around with a fucking well used to be with a pad and paper now it's with a goddamn some type of device said okay i'm producing this. And but at the creative level they make work for themselves there's there should be a lot of producing minions for all the ancillary video and spots and promos they have to do but deciding nuts and bolts of the cards the wins the losses and the TV formats for the major shows. Three people three fucking people at live breathe and eat the wrestling business and there you have it.

43:37Well we'll see what happens with Brian James of course like you said a new head writer on raw her name is Alexandra Williams well yes because I was going to now hear on the other side of the coin which I've never met Alexandra but I've no not only road dog but that I never met. Many members of his family even though I an old fairness i've not talked to a road dog and in years and years this last time i've seen anybody in person but at least I have met him and I'd like to think that he just you know i'd fuck it i pissed off i'm going home i'm fucking old. But this woman Alexandra Williams who is now she announced on LinkedIn this was this went out on the wrestling news sites so i'm not like trying into her social media. But I guess LinkedIn is a place where people brag about their jobs. Why did she she put her own press release out.

44:37It's where you know professional it's like a social media site for business professionals and some people use it for networking some people use it to find jobs and. You know some people are very very active on there for who knows what reason well she's got a job that she saves me very happy with but what's the brag about so i don't know what the fuck she's crowing about but anyway. She's got her chest all poofed out as ain't Lola might have said. Uh she announced on LinkedIn she's been promoted to lead writer of Monday Night Raw and is now a vice president of VP for the company. On her account Williams wrote as VP and lead writer for WDW's flagship live program i oversee all creative development for Monday night Raw one of televisions longest running and highest rated weekly shows. I pitch to and collaborate with executive leadership and a cross functional writing team to conceptualize and execute week to week storylines character arcs premium live event build ups including wrestle median survivor series i.

45:55I help drive the full creative process from episode rundowns to long form narrative strategy developing I need oxygen developing complex characters and compelling feuds that deepen audience engagement across live broadcast digital platforms and social media. My work is informed by an analytical approach tracking segment performance audience trends and viewership data to make real time and long term programming decisions. In partnership with talent producers and brand leadership i've contributed to record setting live attendance and revenue growth or live event attendance and revenue growth helping position raw as the cornerstone of w w's content ecosystem under the t k o umbrella.

47:01Brian i've never actually seen somebody come out in public and snort an entire line of their own shit. Well apparently she likes her own shit and apparently she thinks she's a big part of the big machine and obviously she's the mastermind behind everything we've seen on raw that we've liked over the last few years it must all be hers. I can't explain i'm looking right here i just google her and that's and here's the thing if you the greatest booker in the history of restaurant say you went up to any gram and said any what is your job and he would have said i manipulate people's emotions to sell tickets and that would have been the end of his fucking statement. Oh Christ out of cracker this insufferable way in the world do they they're they're huffing literally huffing i bet they're farting jars and taking it into the meetings to fucking pass around and sniff each others.

48:09Because she's presenting herself because wwe won't last forever and she'll have to get another job somewhere else and entertainment and this will sound really impressive and. Wherever that is you probably want to worry about shooting her views of people saying yeah she was fucking at cost key whatever the fuck you know what it means like she's ready for future in the real entertainment industry. But you the first fucking glimmer of knowledge you had this woman existed was when i was reading to you what she wrote in her own words and you had said oh fuck you three quarters the way. How is this fucking maker look good. Can you imagine to like i you know i'm sure this is not how it played out well let's just imagine Brian James is in there for his review and all of a sudden she went and by the way meet the new head writer of raw what the fuck. According to the wrestling observer she reports to ed koski who reports the Bruce pritchard who reports the paul of that.

49:12There are multiple chains up the lab just it's so ridiculous. She's the head writer of raw. So again i think none of this is needed we don't need writing teams it has not helped the product and. Based on the way a lot of people are doing their promos and may not be overnight but i think it would help everyone and everything if people started sounding more natural and. Yes we're going through a period where no one sounding natural again it i agree they might not have too many people what they have is too many people on the creative team. And like i said if they had three people on the creative team that told the other 27 or whatever this is what we're doing rather than inviting the input from those other 27. Then you'd have a little sharper fucking program.

50:12Or the boys and girls could just go into business for themselves brind is this are we hearing. That our beloved re-arriply and jade cargill have gone into business for themselves is this part of a carefully contrived plot. Did is this something that they they turned from a semi shoot into a full bledged work bledged work it's a full bledged one yeah. Is it a full bledged work and also did poor piper niven just get in the middle and say well you know what fuck you bitch without realizing she was in the middle of. Something when she's out of their goddamn picture yeah no one thought of do drop in a minute all of a sudden she's in this feud well that's got I think she was coming to fire back thinking that it was a shoot that she's going to listen one minute you fucking horror. At typhoon and it didn't realize that when they were fake arresting me in Spartanburg.

51:12And I didn't know it but baby doll did is they dragged me past her she's giggling and I'm like what are you laughing at you fat fucking bitch. He's straightened up real quick remember not she wasn't smiling in but I didn't know she I thought she was laughing at me being taken to fucking jail. So what I'm thinking is it goddamn if it did old piper just come into this because she's like hey hey you're taking it I'm taking up from my friend what what helped me understand this because they were trying to argue snide Lee I can't I can't pick up Twitter arguments unless it's a clear a fuck you pal and here's why type of thing instead of them trying to be all. Snide Lee that's still by the way is like favorite story you getting fake arrested and everyone around knowing it was a rib was laughing and you honed in on the one person you were about to work.

52:13No that's a no everybody else wasn't laughing that's that they fucking they were they were working they they kept it straight and it was like I was looking from fan they were fucking like oh looking oh shit because I was pleased I was saying somebody gets get David Crockett gets somebody named Crockett. Dory Jim that type of thing and then there's baby dog just fucking curled up laughing I'm like you fucking hey then what happened I didn't did it end right there they keep walking you or what happened after you curse her out well no that's what they took me hard to explain the layout of the Spartan Berg Memorial auditorium but they took me out the door instead of going left where I would have been immediately in the arena. They turned me right where you would go out the back door where the James boys were carrying me to lynch me behind the truck that fucking door there yeah yeah. And right before I would go out again in the back where the people were I think it for they may have been going to take me put me in a car they put other people in a car to really fucking rub it in but there was fans out there so that they stopped me at the back door they said read this.

53:27Read this warrant we've got and I'm like was it make sure you see it's been signed and I looked down and that's what I realized it's been signed by big daddy Jimmy Crockett and then they started laughing because I think they although now that I think about it the way that I was all indications were that if they let me get out that back door I may have made a run for it and back in those days 40 years ago they didn't want to run up that fucking hill to catch me. They might have thought I would and I don't know if I saw fucking blue sky and sidewalk but I think I'm going to jail in Spartanburg and again this was 40 years ago I was a lot lighter and before I blew my knees so these fucking cops were older and fucking heavier so they exposed the rib to you outside what happens when you go back inside when do you see baby doll again. I think she was avoiding me for a while I think about it we never actually just continue to because that's one of the only places that I would see doll when we were working the program with each other because there was no even like regular room that could be used for the lady she was the only girl on the roster to change.

54:55You know that so she just had to sit in the middle when you went in this door to the right was the heel locker room to the left was the baby face locker room and she dressed in the hallway in the middle where the monitor sat. So that it was cramped quarters but we know you know then we went back to just working and not speaking for a while well I guess it's a good thing you guys didn't have Twitter is the point. Well yes because what it that's the point is what in the world am I hearing about all the stuff going on between rear Ripley and Jade Cargill and at other people started getting involved and how did this begin. Well again I have here has a whole bunch of things as soon as this happened people start sending it over saying I can't wait here Jim talk about this well I don't know what I can't understand when I'm seeing bits and pieces off of Twitter of who instigated. What let me go to what the observer wrote up oh boy he's he we know he's on Twitter constantly it was basically it was basically the two building their match by trying to be inside with Cargill talking about how Ripley was the second option and Dave says he's not sure if she was referring to Bianca Belair who as we know was supposed to be in the main event at WrestleMania if the injury hadn't happened or live Morgan who won the.

56:21Match to get a title shot Ripley said that all you seem to do is talk and that's literally it Cargill wrote back talk like the hours you spend talking to creative oh good lord Ripley wrote back you're funny that's funny now we know you really do the talking at your ass because everything you say is bullshit. Don't spread lies on my name you dumb B okay I don't think it is mad if they call somebody a dumb B this is Twitter you gotta be able to spell that out Cargill wrote back oh God another victim will you girls lighten up and stop crying we haven't even started yet. Lucy Green and Piper Niven ended up jumping into this green said that Ria this is a quote Ria is proved that you can be kind respectful and the most talented wrestler in the world that's just and the the Sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar what I'm how is that an inflammatory statement she's just praising someone without commenting on anybody else.

57:47Again Jade wasn't mentioned but Jade then wrote it's no point to even go and embarrass yourself on this app you always have something to say about everything and then niven jumped in with who TF who the fuck even said anything about you. To Cargill contrary to your belief the world doesn't actually revolve around you. No point to even embarrass yourself on this app give you enough ring time and you'll do it yourself. Oh Jesus Christ that's what a haircut Piper I love her I want to contribute to her goddamn medical fun to get her back as quick as possible. The other girls or the first two are jousting back and forth with each other we think to promote their event and Chelsea jumps in because that's the thing she does but she is saying inflammatory but goddamn as soon as Piper thought that some that Jade was on Chelsea she's hey fuck you hold up pump the brakes as she went right to the goddamn me the matter that's fucking great.

59:04Well Cargill responded that's above your pay grade Piper relax. Yeah vicious come back excuse me actually missed there's one before that. Cargill then wrote back hey Piper I hope you're healing okay can't wait to give you some ring time to which niven wrote back yeah maybe by the time you're back from your many vacations. I'll finally be recovered lick my ring ya boot that's the way it's written here the observer and then Cargill we don't know whether it's Dave having a stroke or it's some kind of slang from over there in the UK but that's above your pay grade Piper relax and so again you know the girls are working and sounded like it and Piper here's something negative is like hey what the fuck she didn't know. That's very great see the issue may be that beyond this whatever's playing out on social media with Ria and Jade there may be some talent there that don't like Jay Cargill so they were like oh shit is an opening now go go go well yeah I mean you can tell that there has been some pent up opinions but but here's the thing we've seen this now it's been five or six years or whatever since the experiment began.

1:00:29And Jade Cargill got into this business in a completely unique and bizarre way that nobody beforehand or ever male or female has ever had this path in the business some people all with a they pushed Luger before he was ready or that no this is literally they found this girl. That had a unique look and said we're going to teach her at a wrestle and they did to the extent that they did and put her on TV with her own belt that she defended against other girls and as you called it one time Brian I think this like this alternate universe where these are the people that interact with Jade Cargill and and she was never she was not only was never defeated but more importantly than that she was just featured into a match to beat someone or to do interviews and sometimes given minions to have around her.

1:01:47But she was never put in a big pay-per-view match or really integrated into the full fucking world of the AEW roster it was just like her own little thing and she'd never had to lose until she was leaving. If she had and then when she goes the WWE now what's it been a couple of years in obviously they've realized they've got what they've got in the ring she ain't going to get any better we can examine why she might not that's the point is it because of the way she was brought in or just a natural not being able to do this or grasp this. Is it if she had started in NXT or in any wrestling school or wanted to be a wrestler ever contemplated it before AEW she would have not only been taught how to do moves and have matches and whatever but how to think about the business and how to work with other people when it's not all about you because it is a team effort at at heart sometimes would not all good intentions.

1:03:03And fundamentally how to take care of yourself but at the same time do things for other people or whatever or just the I mean Tom McGee facet at some point does somebody look great but hit their level of that's as far as they can go and they can't go to farther. But mentally she was not prepared for anything other than being a featured superstar on a national TV show and not only did Tony Khan pay her well but I'm sure the WWE's paying her well but remember didn't we say she's got a professional athlete that she's married to that I assume has a couple dollars to rub together. Yeah, Brandon Phillips who's a really good second baseman. So she's doing this at this point to be a performer on television and because she has fun being that bitch but she's never been taught how to exist in the world of wrestling when she's not that bitch.

1:04:22And sometimes other people get to be that bitch and most of the time whoever that bitch is had to earn being that bitch instead of just saying it. She's got the character down and the attitude down and the order down. The psychology the mentality. I don't know you know again I said mentality just because of this Twitter shit I mean you have to wonder what the fuck you're doing if unless it's all just a work but why would piper why would piper. Yeah piper was what it didn't know that they were working is like I'll tell you what I fucking think. Bug and douchebag I thought that's great oh she got over with me there. I mean I hate to say that we had real Ripley's name attached to this she didn't do anything she seemed like real Ripley shouldn't even be involved in this. Well but that's the thing is because people were believing that Ria and Jade were sniping.

1:05:29And you know and they were anxiously hanging on this but it was seems like to me at least it was a work but then when piper came in with a fucking sledgehammer. And that was just unforeseen and poor thing she's not even off the injured list yet but she bought it so somebody else had to buy it too didn't they. Well I wish we had gotten Bianca and Jade that was the thing they were building up from the moment Jade got there and unfortunately it didn't work out. You know and here I'll say one more thing and then possibly people want to give me the finger but goddamn it poor Bianca Belair she's been out of action. Since last WrestleMania which is almost a year now for a fucking her for her finger and it's caused her that much pain and she came straight at some point. Even Brian how bad would you need your index finger if you come work for a year and it was given you constant fucking pain and multiple operations how bad do you need it.

1:06:38I mean I use it a lot what do you need it I don't know how to answer that is there some point when you just take the fucking thing off no I don't think I would go you advocate for Bianca Belair never finger removed. Well I'm like the poor thing she's put up the videos of how she's having this painful physical therapy and multiple surgeries and it's the pain and she had been able to work in a year and it's just as stress and oh it's horrible I'm like it's at some point how much are you worth my fucking finger fuck you. Now if it was a good now a leg or an arm we're good I'm gonna put up with a lot more goddamn aggravation. But there comes a point I was ready with my big toe before they told me it was curable and it's been alleviated I was like well fuck if I had to I don't need that son of a bitch. I'd rather if I was going to have it taken off it'd be the one with the bunion on it but that's the other foot but there's no reason to go into that now.

1:07:44No there isn't. But that was the Twitter news of the show. Rea and Jay. But yes Rea and Jade and Bianca's finger so you still maintain that you need all your fingers and toes. I don't think she's at the point yet or she would say remove my finger it's not like it's rotten it's just it's not healing correctly well it's being so full stubborn. Anyway you know what they all need whether it's Rea or it's Jade or it's Piper or it's even Bianca to keep us appraised on whether she can give us the finger or not. They need their phones they need their their tablets they need their their media they need their all the things that the kids use that's what they need. And to charge those things Brian they need our friends over at Ridge and the amazing space age technology of the revolutionary five and one travel power bank with the built in cables that let you charge all your devices at the same time.

1:08:54With just one power bank the size of not even as big as an eight track cassette tape ladies and gentlemen and no extra cables they just come they plummocks right it's like a science fiction movie. These things you can pull them out and they just come out in all directions like a goddamn spider climbing up the wall. And you can stick your phone and one and your headphones and the other one you're watching one you're kindling one. It's gets magnetics you can stick your goddamn phone right on the side of it and it sticks. And then if folks let's say if you're sleeping in like a motel or somebody's apartment you're at a guest bedroom or you're just sleeping out in an alleyway at a strange location or in a box you fear for your safety. Put this thing slap it on your phone stick it in one of your socks and use it as a slap Jack if anybody comes around you in the back and just be them right in a goddamn head because this can do some damage it could.

1:09:56So you don't want to do that and of course do not get yourself in that kind of situation why don't you focus on the benefits the wonderful joys that one can get out of the ridge. Well see you know you know the thing is Brian if you got five or six cords all tangled up in your bag that you got to plug your devices in not only do you have five or six cords all tangled up in your bag but you still got to plug that into something. You got to plug it into the wall or something right that's got some power well that's where this comes in because it's got the wires and cables. And it's already got the power in it it's got 20 watts of power 10,000 milliamp hours capacity three full phone charges right there in this thing or whatever else you want to charge it'll charge those things to. But you don't have to plug it into wall because the power is already there and as I mentioned you can stick the phone magnetically to side of the charging bank as well as all these things and if you've got something plugged into all these things.

1:11:00And you put that in a sock you swing at son of a bitch one fucking shot then somebody's going down ladies gentlemen you won't go down with it with power power will be there whenever you need it with the great rich magnet. I think behind the back catch like everything rich makes it's built to last and it's got free shipping a 99 day risk free trial and a lifetime warranty you can take a hammer to this is my fact. It don't take a hammer to it because sparks will fly off of it that will electrify people around you but also no it won't know they won't know it won't it won't happen no well don't take a hammer to it and you won't find out and if you break down on the side of the road you can take one of these cables out. And stick it on your jumper cable and attach the one jumper cable well at least to your balls if not to the fucking battery in the car just for a pleasurable time while you're waiting for triple A but these things know it's focus on devices and phones and tablets and things that every day people do every day people.

1:12:07People need every day power like the power you get from the rich. Every day power yeah yeah. Charge your phone and charge your tablet and these things are available. In Matt olive base camp orange maybe this is the color of the cones on the highway hyper lime dark harbor. I don't know that sounds like the fucking sad of the lake at night and Matt black that's what I got good old Matt black he never lets me down but they got a variety of colors they come with an LED charge status indicator gives you the battery and charge levels glance at it. You know what how much juice you got you know whether and also if you got this thing in your pocket somebody trust slip their hand in your pocket and take their wallet boom they're going to get a little jolt they're going to be well fucking they'll you'll see steam coming out of their ears and they'll snatch their hand back out of your pocket.

1:13:14And if you have a ridge wallet next to it well then that creates an invisible force field of foot around you where no one can touch you. Without having a sharp electric shock about about 12 to 14 inches away bride would you say I would say that this is nothing anyone would have to worry about if this was a comic book that may be a skill an attribute that you would have but that is not anything you need to worry about with the safe and magnetic.

Well, Brian, we got to talk a little bit about the TV wrestling from this last week and of course, raw. A few days ago, March the second was from Indianapolis and again, it's three hours and there's a lot of downtime. So I wanted to recognize a couple of things because they are adding to the stories they are trying to build for WrestleMania, but they opened the thing with Paul Lee and Logan Paul and Austin theory, the. Remaining ambulatory members of the vision. And Paul he's again great, you know, promo. But he's vowing revenge on Seth and theory got a little promo time he's getting a little more comfortable it looks like on a mic.

1:16:39And in Logan Paul, they just hate him. And he makes the statement there calling Seth Rollins out we won't leave until he comes out here and of course Adam Pierce comes out to leave. And then here come the mask man. And one mask man comes out and the security with Adam Pierce chases him away and another mask man comes out and Logan Paul chase him out of the building. And then another one comes out and Austin theory chases him out of the building and then Paul realizes he's alone and he starts getting the. And then Paul tells because his, his cheeks start trembling. And like shaking up and down. And he's nervous and another mask man appears. And while Paul is begging from him. The real mask man who is behind Paul.

1:17:43So how many was that one, two, three, four, five, this was number six. And as Paul is begging off from the last fake one. The real mask man pops his hood and it's Seth that he gets a big pop. And he comes in and he hits Paul to back with a chair at that poor chair. God damn. Who said like he was hitting a fucking helix sleep mattress. And down went down goes Heyman down goes Heyman. He was selling like he was swimming in a pool with no water in it. Because he was laying on his belly. So he could the rest of him couldn't really reach the ground. So his arms legs were kind of almost suspended. All right. All right. Let's get back to what actually happened here. Not excited. Report on the incidents. And then he got up in the right place. And Seth milk didn't gave him a stomp and got a big pop.

1:18:43As Paul was laying there and quivering Seth ran out. Through the crowd. And you see the EMTs coming out to check on him. And all we go to the break. Oh, what's happening? Amen. And we come back. They've already got him in the back of the ambulance. And he's got a gimmick bloody nose like his face has been bashed in. And suddenly as they've loaded him in this ambulance. Jimmy you so pulls up in a truck and are of SUV. And starts beating up Austin theory who was trying to attend to Paul. And then he walked up to the ambulance and LA night was driving ambulance. And he pulled out. In not in a sexual way. But it was it was very austenish. But they went to the trouble of Heyman doesn't take bumps very often. They hit him with a chair and a stomping.

1:19:44And he's got the gimmick nose bleed. And then they turned it into. The attitude era ha ha with one of the baby faces driving the ambulance. What were your thoughts? Like much of modern WWE. There were a little bits I liked. In the midst of a giant sea of why did they do that? This doesn't make sense, whatever. The masked guy thing. Is it ever going to be explained and we're just going to think that Seth Rollins had this crew of. Guys who can run around and act like you know fucking cat burglars. They got special forces background because they're they're staging on the attack and the timing on the infiltration perfect. Yeah, how they get in the building are they part of the crew? We figuring out who they are because they would need time in the building to have an exit strategy. To know where to have everyone chase you. The LA night thing in the back. I thought was too much. Whether it's attitude error or you know.

1:20:45You think it's over. You're in the ambulance and Freddy Krueger's driving. Whatever it is. You know, I could see what they're trying to do. But it almost is like, you know, hey, Russo's booking again. I didn't like that. I think everybody thinks of Austin when something like that happens and that's a reason to. Just leave it to Austin because. You're constantly going to be compared to it anyway. That will continue on later on with the. The vision. Saga's, but Gunther had a match with Dragon Lee and. I'm saying it's not the match I want to talk about, but just what they did in it because it felt like trying to watch AEW. If this garden gnome went 15 minutes competitively with Gunther. He's as big as one leg. But what they did was they.

1:21:45I get it was competitive. That was why it was not my cup of tea. But at the end, Gunther gets behind him and rips his mask off and puts a big sleeper on him covering up his face, but he's got the sleeper and. Old Dragon Lee tapped out. Because he wanted to get out of there because he didn't want to buy his face. And then Gunther held it a little extra after because he's a heel. But it became a controversy. I think Uncle Dave was on the. The side of defending Lucha Libre. But it was a controversy because somebody put up a fucking screenshot of the split second. You saw this gas face. And some people were. And you can imagine which ones. We're up in arms. Oh my god. They're pissing all over Lucha Libre. It's a dishonor to see the game.

1:22:46I'm thinking the guys probably honored that he's got this high paying of a fucking job. And that was the finish and they aired it on television. They didn't expect people to. A fucking analyze it like the Zapruder film. But they don't care. This is pro wrestling. That's exactly how wrestling fans do it. But they don't care either because it's that's part of the fucking deal in Lucha Libre is when the guy gets. D denuded. Is the demast that any covers up his face that that often causes him to fucking lose. And he'd rather that than reveal his face. And it also this guy's got the, you know, the teenage bout with leprosy, which caused severe disfigurement anyway. But the point is. It was part of the fucking angle. They don't care because it's not like. Seeing Mill Moscarus at one time or else Santo.

1:23:47It's dragon fucking Lee. Is anybody remember what he looks like next week. But I mean, we're this controversy. Do you think they're making too much out of it like I do or is this some kind of. Lucha but fucking great. You don't want the people mad at WWE for doing it or the people may have the people who posted images of it on Twitter. I'm talking about the people that's mad at the people for getting mad at those people. So I'm talking about. Yeah, because I think anyone mad at people who have posted images of it. WWE had it on TV. It's their fault. They should have not shown that so you could see his face for a split second. And then they knew what to do. They pulled all the way back. I've never seen a WWE RAW shot like that for the last couple of minutes of it. You know. Yeah, obviously have a lot of bad memories of the way Eric Bischoff treated Lucha Libre. Specifically Ray Mysterio being told to get rid of the mask.

1:24:47Which I think most people. You know, I was talking to you around that period. Most people would have thought that was insane. You have this incredibly marketable star. And you want to change that. They didn't say he's not going to wear his mask again. He was wearing makeup around his eyes as a lot of these guys do when the masks. It's not like there's a clear image of him. There's a blurry image of him getting choked out for a split second. I'm not against the. The finish or anything. No, I think that's fine. But, you know, I guess the controversy I saw was just about the image of a lucha door without his mask getting out there and how. It's disrespectful to. Yeah. And that's just it's ridiculous that. Again, it's. It's not an. Urshaking revelation. Unless somebody could match him up facially with one of the AI things with a goddamn noted bank robber and.

1:25:48Or something. Then we. Then we'd have a story here. I mean, the other thing is it has happened. And I don't know. Mysterio is the best one to point to, but. Before he went off the rails. So to speak, Alberto Del Rio. Where you had a mask guy who when the promoter saw him without the mask. Oh, my God. You're a good looking person. I could use that. I could sell that. Unless they saw dragon. We went out the mask and you know. And said, you know, dragon. Or Mr Lee. We think we have another way forward. You can make lots of merch money. I don't know. Anyhow. Is that mean we're going to get more of this though? I guess that's the other question. Are we going to get more goother and dragon Lee? Because now he has to get revenge for. This. I hope not. I really hadn't contemplated that. Now you just brought me all the way down. Because no, I don't want to go. you know what it is, I am not going to ask you questions. Well, I just want to go. What is he doing in WrestleMania? He's a mean of it. Fucking guy.

1:26:48And he's played with Children. Anyhow, the speaking of Children. Are you going to ask me a question? I was just going to say they should bring in Mil Moscarus. Like, you can't revenge for all the lucha doors against Goother. And then go with the Retirism. I don't think. Not even goather, I don't think Carl gotcha could retire. Fucking Moscar. But speaking of children of people who had children, one of the usos, Jimmy usos faced Austin theory. And I wanted to again watch Austin theory see his improvement. I like the new gear. It looks good. And in terms, he's such a, had such a great physique. He looked fine in tights, but now this gives him a personality and the little edge to him. But he's getting more confident in what he's doing. And again, I know some people are going to say, oh, he loves Austin theory.

1:27:48I said theory so boring. If that's the same thing that I see him is the same thing that Heyman sees, same thing that everybody else sees, is that his athletic talent and probably to be getting these chances, his personal effort behind the scenes and whatever the fuck, we're seeing what he can do as he's a puppy with big paws and he's growing. And unfortunately, this was with an usos brother because that presents stumbling blocks. But he's got animated bumping. He seems to always be in the right place. He doesn't rush at the same speed, but he bursts into things and at the payoff, he'll slow down and react. He's got facials and body language for working like a heel. He's, you can tell he's clearly working hard for the opportunity because, I'm not talking about the number of moves he's making,

1:28:48which is immaterial to anything. He's on the whole time he's out there. Which again, doesn't mean doing 100 moves. It means being Austin theory, facially body language reacting to your environment, the whole time that he's out there, whatever he's visible, not just going through the motions when he's performing something complicated athletically and then laying there like a fucking dead fish after he's done something that would kill people. It's more natural with him. But then Jimmy who so cleaned off the desk and put theory on top of it and went to the top rope but Logan Paul came in the ring. So Uso dov on him. And theory got on Uso and they got disqualified and got like 7.2 seconds of heat.

1:29:50And J. Uso's music played. And J. Uso who remember they took him out in an ambulance last week, right? And this is the dastardly who done it, right? Brian, that's right, they took him out on smack them. Well, he came in from the backside with a pair of crutches but he's goddamn ambulatory. He was showing no ill effects of anything. Eddie gave one crutch to brother and he kept the other one and they beat up the fucking heels. So what, how was this? It was a thing that kept him out of the elimination chamber that he recovered from in seven days, good as he ever was. Same as it ever was. They just need, they obviously needed to get him. We knew that but could they make it any more obvious on their programming? We had to get this unplanned for Motherfucker out of the elimination chamber.

1:30:53I'm just saying. It's gonna suck when we get the vision versus the Uso's at WrestleMania. Yeah. Did speaking to the vision, did you hear what Corey Graves said right at the end of this thing when the heels had been routed by the fucking hospital of patrol? No, I actually skipped the segment. I have a Uso rule I've put into effect. Well, Corey Graves said, he said, what's that word going around about the vision? Cole snake bit. I guess a lot of people I guess have been using that term snake bit. For the vision. But again, I will just say that theory is in the upper percentage of natural workers. He picks up on shit and he's got a feel for it. And I would suggest that he keep doing exactly what he's doing right now and listening to everybody that he's listening to. And if it is timing and shit

1:31:55for how to react things is something that you just can't teach some people. But this kind of environment with this level of talent and this level of production is what poor old Kyle Fletcher needs to ever get better mentally. And that way he would get better physically. But he's just, he stuck over an indie land, which is why Brad were recording this, right? This will live on for a few years. We pay our storage fee on the fucking cloud or whatever, right? Who were all paid up? Yes. Over the next five years, Austin Theory will become a much larger star in the pro wrestling business than Kyle Fletcher will unless Kyle Fletcher comes to the same company that Austin Theory is currently at. And even then, I stand by that prediction. So March 2031, you're saying on that date, Austin Theory will be a big star or at least bigger than Kyle Fletcher.

1:32:56I'm saying over the next five years, Austin Theory will be a clearly delineated bigger star barring injuries or a safe fallen on somebody's head. Either side, Austin Theory will be a bigger, more major, more marketable and more well-used, recognizable star in a professional wrestling industry than Kyle Fletcher will be. It less Kyle Fletcher gets out of where he is and gets some learning in it. So you know already, there's nothing that like gets some of the listeners riled up and even some of the wrestlers who listed riled up like your praise for Austin Theory. There's people who completely don't see anything and think that this is where you and Amy are crazy. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with anybody that doesn't see anything. I can understand having a learned discussion like, does he have the base in his voice to sound authoritative enough?

1:33:58Or is he gonna really develop it over the top personality that we can snatch onto? Or debates on fine points like that, but to think that he's not in the upper echelon of guys in the ring right now, just as an athletic performer at that young even age, you're a complete fucking imbecile in the wrestling business is what you are. Did I insult anybody there? I didn't mean to. I mean, I'm okay with what you're saying, but like I said, I'm not meant to royal you. The feedback we get, this is one of those things that divides people. There are people who think you're crazy and there's people who are like, yeah, I see it too, but a lot of people are not with it. Well, as Frank Spaceman Hickey would say, not with it, not with it, you need to get with it. Oh, if you're not with it, you're out of it. Hey, yeah, because if you're with it, if you're not with it, you're without it.

1:34:59With or without you? Oh, no, let's not, let's go back to the review WWE wrong. We got, you know, Dan Housen, let me just say that Dan Housen, Dan Housen, Dan Housen, does that work where he pops up and does something, if you say that name? He was back. This was his second appearance. And brought, I can't, again, tell you, how many, well, you know, because you see it more than I do, that people are like, well, the first night bombed at the pay-per-view, the box-expectator, through everybody off, he bombed the first night, but the second night, wow, he knocked it out of the park. I'll tell you one thing, I'll, I'm gonna say some good things about this kid in a minute. And I like that he's got this appeal for some of some kind, for some reason, that people want to see him succeed and get over.

1:35:59The segment of the audience that knows who he is and is become enamored of what he does, there in his corner, rooting for him harder than most people, or that most people get people rooting for him. But here's the thing, this was like a skit in two parts, and the first part was great, and the finish was flatter than four o'clock, flatter than a plate full of pits. So let's talk about the good stuff. He does a thing with Adam Pearce, and Pearce is a perfect straight man. And he knows not to derail Dan Housen's momentum, but he's just there to do the fill. Like, you know, what are we doing here? And Dan Housen does his thing, and he reacts, and Dan Housen does his thing, and he writes, you see what I'm saying? Pearce knows how to do it. He's got good timing. He's fucking quick. Dan Housen has a list of demands.

1:37:00He wants his own blimp. He wants a hall of fame induction. He wants a personal assistant. He wants his face on the trucks. And he gives Pearce the list, which is soggy, because it fell into toilet. Adam Pearce drops it. Okay, it's childish. It's juvenile, but they made it work, right? That's what this whole thing actually kind of is to begin with. You know, Dan Housen's very entertaining and very funny, but Pearce kind of made this part work because his reactions were perfect. That's the thing is this, that's what I'm going to try to tell everybody, including anybody that's listening that has invested interest, such as one of the performers in this, if you happen to be listening. Take note, if he's got somebody to play off of, it works a lot better. And when he does it, and then Pearce didn't even understand the writers thinking, oh, and then this will be funny. So what we used to do with people at the gardens, right?

1:38:01Well, I'll get them and talk to Ronnie Elligood. Pearce is a judgment day of he met Dan Housen, and now we're going from the quick, the snappy pattern and the little edit. Yeah, it's up. And now there's Finn and JD and Dominic. Dominic could be a, you know, can do a little comedy, a little funny, a little ha ha, but Finn and JD are just stone faced and they're not natural comedians. They don't necessarily have the timing to go back and forth with this particular gimmick. So it went from a little energy and a little witty banter in a juvenile fashion with Pearce to, they're just staring at each other. There was no material there. They said a few things, but there was no funny lines. And then, Dan Housen cursed Dominic and then when they turn around, he's disappeared.

1:39:05The first half was great. That's what they need to do if they're going to do Dan Housen. The second half was flat and didn't make anybody look good. And I mean, did you feel the same energy? Yes and no, to me, the biggest problem was just him disappearing at the end because literally one of the guys was facing in the direction Dan Housen was. Dominic turned around, the other guys didn't and then he's just gone. Dominic's reaction to that was good. I like what JD said. I think he said after Dan Housen disappeared. He's a Batman, like that's a thing. I mean, that was my biggest, I actually didn't mind. It wasn't as good as the pure stuff. The material wasn't as good, but it was fun to get to see the new characters interact with each other. I think here's what I think they need to do with Dan Housen

1:40:05because this is his gimmick and he needs to stand or fall with it. I think if I was, they've got him here, they've made the investment. It might not be my cup of tea wrestling-wise, but if I was charged, interested with booking him, I would say, okay, Dan Housen, give me 45 seconds between you and so and so that you can give me the material. Tell me what you would have all of y'all say. This is your gimmick. Do you do a weird fucking, the sleight of hand trick or shock someone in some fashion or have some witty banter or whatever? What is your fucking thing? Give it to me, tell me what it is. And then I might have some ideas input on, well, let's turn it this way, so the camera gets it better or change it work, whatever the fuck, but I would let the guy

1:41:08stand or fall on his own fucking material. And if this is his gimmick and they're making this investment, let him write these little backstage goddamn winged things. And if it's just, if it's ludicrous, you've still got the X-Nay factor, the veto. But otherwise, give him four or six weeks and let him do some of this backstage shit and him and Pierce. Come up, well, not a dodges to him and Pierce, but him and people that have an aptitude like Pierce for working with a quirky character in a 45 second to one minute glybics change. Let him write his shit and see at the end of six weeks, if anybody still wants to buy his shit, area of these more over or less over. And then you'll know. But I would let him, I'd let him do his own shit

1:42:09and see what his shit is. You know, after that debut and elimination chamber and we did the review and we didn't say anything bad about Dan Housen, we ripped on the segment. We actually said, I think he's a very nice man is what we said is a thing. Well, yeah, but also I think it made some people mad because he can't wrestle because they just, they're used to the comedic mascot wrestling matches. But the next day after Raw and after we put up the clip of the review of the elimination chamber segment, people are like, oh, you guys were too quick, you see? It's all better now. He was on for a minute. Yeah, a minute on a three hour show backstage. I hope they use them well, he's funny. I hate, I don't want them to lean into the ridiculous side of it like magic and teleportation or anything, but he's a funny guy. And I enjoyed him and him and peer pierces reaction to the soggy paper was great. That made me know enough that I want more of that.

1:43:11It looked like, yeah, well, hey, now a pissy paper. It looked like he was holding up something that he'd found in the fucking toilet at the ECW arena at a ring of honor taping, but nevertheless, I don't want to give anything away here, although we're not going to do a lengthy dissertation of it, but Dominic then goes out after he's cursed Dominic and loses the intercontinental title. So, and a lot of people are like, oh, see, already. Well, are they, I guess Dan Housen's going to say see, I cursed you, but I don't think that everybody, the announcers at all, the talent was beating it to death. But if they were going to do that, I'll say this and we'll move on. If they were going to do that with it, then he shouldn't, he, they he have the opportunity, Dan Housen, to do four to six weeks of the backstage stuff and he's getting himself and his shit over and letting people know what the fuck's going on with him.

1:44:13But one guy, doesn't take it kindly and is offended by it and fucking does something to push him around or fucking bully him as the kid say or whatever. And that's the guy he curses. And then the guy goes out and he fucking, he's on the verge of winning the thing and he stands up on the top rope and a goddamn rope breaks. He falls a boom and he gets covered because he's knocked out. And then you make something of that, but it could have happened anyway. It has before, but golly awful, coincidental, but are we just, this second day in the company curses the guy out of a belt. What's happening here? That was one of the funny lines too, where Dominic has the belt and goes, Oh, this, can I have this? Can I have this? Yeah. No, you know, I like Dan Housen. I really, if I could, I would right now produce a regular television show,

1:45:15starring Dan Housen and Gwen Gouli and Harley Cameron and just find a way to make it all work. But we'll see where they go. They're selling a lot of merch. Every independent toy company I had any Dan Housen project that they were getting ready for, they're launching that right away. So I mean, you know, he's making a lot of people a lot of money. Including that, that contract he signed with Adam, and he was really going to come in handy. Well, I don't know about that kind of toy, but yeah, we'll see where they go with that Dan Housen, but people certainly like them a whole lot better night too than they did night one. I'm telling you that that's the reality show, Dan, that Dan Housen, but the thing is, Brian, if Dan Housen is going to wrestle in a WWE, he's going to have to gain some weight. He's going to have to start eating better, I think. Don't you believe that that he would have started getting on a better diet, eating better. He would be rather slight in WWE. Yes, he would probably eight days has started eating more. And maybe maybe it's because he's too busy. He's running around from coffin to coffin, cursing people.

1:46:16He's too busy to prepare a big gourmet meal with all the lean proteins and the colorful veggies and the whole food ingredients, the quality and functional type of things that you enjoy in a nice, reputable diet, dietitian approved, chef prepared type of thing. He's just probably eating fast food. He doesn't know about our friends and factor. And I think it would be easy to fatten him up because he's probably a picky eater. And he's eating the fast food. He's just getting poor nutrition and not much of it. Well, again, I don't know anything about what he can't house it in just, but I never looked at him and go, that fast food maniac. Well, no, he's eating like a bird, but it's all unhealthy. That's why he's got TB. You know, he was diagnosed with TB, twin bellies. Oh, come on now. And he's got the furniture disease. His chest is in his drawers.

1:47:17But right now, let's be nice. He could eat quality food, a healthy diet, build his muscle, reduce his fat, batten down his hatches with our friends and factor. The meals are always fresh and never frozen. They're ready to about two minutes. No prep, no stress. So he can go on about his busy day without having to eat garbage and pick at it like a bird. And of course, then he's allergic to garlic, being the vampire that he is. So they've got all kinds of options, a hundred rotating weekly meals, hot protein, calorie smart, Mediterranean diet, GLP1 support, Transylvanian, vampire friendly, all kinds of meals. No, not that one. That's what no garlic is for our friends in Romania and parts east. Let's worry about the domestic United States. Plus the new muscle pro collection supports strength

1:48:19and recovery. If you're getting back into a workout routine from say being, I don't know, laying at a coffin for hundreds of years and you've gotten quite out of shape and you need the muscle pro collection from factor. But all you got to do, well, you know, if you lay in the same position two or three hundred years, you're going to have some atrophy. Once again, they have a lot of great packages, a lot of great meals. I personally, every time I choose the teriyaki salmon, a personal favor here in the house. But you know, you just eat salmon, you're a salmon maniac. How can you eat salmon 24 hours a day? I like the filet with the creamy Parmesan shrimp, which you can, you can dip the filet around in the creamy Parmesan and it's just swell. I'll put my teriyaki salmon up against your wimpy little filet any day of the week, buddy. Well, I'll tell you what, see, that's a thing that Dan Housen can have either one of those because they got garlic in them.

1:49:21He'll melt before your very eyes, but he... Well, that's an interesting question, is that Dan Housen? The Mediterranean diet may work for him. Does, does, does Dan Housen have the attributes, the qualities of a typical vampire where garlic would affect them like a vampire? Will he's got the cape and the pale face? The pale face should be a sign of vampirism in the blood. Possibly, he's just a ghoul. Well, folks, I'll tell you what, and never, if you like ghoul-osh, folks, head to factormeals.com slash JCE50 off and use the code JCE50 off to get 50% off and free breakfast for a year.

FactorMeals.com slash J-C-E-50 off. It's positively ghoulish. Hey Jim, I swear to God I've seen this actor on three different episodes of the rifleman in the last week and a half. You know the guy with the goofy eyes tall looks kind of like goofy from the cartoon? Wait a minute, hold on now. He's on the Mark Twain episode right now, but yesterday or the day before. You're not talking Jack Elam, you're talking about the tall, skinny guy with the weak chin also. Yeah, he was in the, again, the Mark Twain episode is on now and yesterday it was the one where Lucas's old friends from the theater show up and they're playing chess, but they want to kill each other.

1:51:29I've seen this guy in multiple episodes in the last week. Different character every time. Are you, are you upset that he got so much work when he was young? He's great. He's, he's old now. He can't be alive now. Well, what are you, you're just going to kill him with no fucking, no fucking thought? What think of his, if his family is listening right now? It's first time they've heard about it. The rifleman Mark Twain, what is this guy's name? I've seen him in so many episodes just recently. This is from 1961. This is interesting stuff. He's a gentleman. Jackie. That is 65 years ago. Jackie of him. Yeah. So I was Jackie. Yeah. Well, he didn't look like goofy. He had a wide face. Goofy had a tall sloping face. Well, he, the way his body was. I thought you were talking about somebody like K cuter. No. I've seen this guy in multiple episodes the last week. I've said that multiple times. Let's go back to the multiple WWE raw segments. We still have remaining here on the show.

1:52:30Well, there was one thing with just, I want to comment on this just for just a minute. Just to not let it go by. Rhea Ripley. They have lost the plot on how to present her and what people want to see from her. And what makes her different. They got Jackie Redmond out there by the way, I did like the see through top she was wearing. Redmond, that is. But she introduces Rhea to talk about the elimination chamber, but she comes out with EO. And does the promo of all losing the tag team championship was. You know, it was a big deal to her, right? EO's her best friend and she hugged EO and thanked her as the thank you for pulling the out of a dark situation. And then EO turned into a grinning six year old hopping up and down and then speaking gibberish and grinning telling Rhea to win the title and Rhea's I'm going to do it for you, EO.

1:53:34I'm going to see Jade at WrestleMania. Again, between the they make EO sky act like she's fucking mentally six years old, the literal grinning and hopping and down and just gibberish speaking. Rhea Ripley's out there saying I was in a dark place. That was it. You pulled me out of it. The fuck people want to see Rhea Ripley come out, put that big foot in the air and fucking stomp and beat the shit out of the other girls and be the. Eliminator or the eradicator or the fornicator, whatever the fucker goddamn phrase is instead of being at their hug in this little child and be an old Tyrion. It's like they were having a fucking slumber party in the 60s on a comedy show. Am I taking this too personally? Well, she's your favorite, so I don't think so. But I mean, is that the way to present Rhea Ripley?

1:54:39Well, again, I think we're about to hopefully get a sea change. That's why they're doing this. They broke up the tag team and now this, I don't know if she's going to turn heal. I'm not saying that, but I think they're going to hopefully put the fucking belt on her. But if they don't, she's back in the title picture as a single, but nevertheless, she don't have to bring EO out there and fucking phone all over. She said, and I'd like to wish EO Sky my former partner, all the best their future fucking endeavors. And anyway, just this simmering fucking soft emotional horse shit on my wrestling. I need to give Rhea Ripley some kind of big fucking stick to just come out and just beat that shit out of people with. To rehabilitate her forever to team up with that falls fall, fall child, that small child. Since last fall. And then they beat Dominic for the intercontinental title with Penta.

1:55:44It was a long match. I like Dominic. I've seen all the Penta that I want to see because I've seen everything he can do. I had just written down that I wish they would get Dominic in some interesting singles programs again. With a good old baby face and then they beat him. But they beat him because Finn stopped JD from interfering because he said he was going to do it by himself. Let him do it by himself. So Finn is continuing his baby face turned because he's found honor. And Penta gave the destroyer to Dominic 123 and new champion. Well shit is what I wrote. Well shit. That's what any Lola would have said. Well shit. What'd you say? I said, let's go to the main event. The segments after this match. Alrighty then.

1:56:46I'm telling you what. If you need two guys to talk them into building and get a fucking match over. I think they found the two. This is a Roman Reigns and CM Punk is a great combination. I have not. Particularly been electrified. I think I've told you Brian by anything Roman Reigns really done since the bloodline thing because. The bloodline was interesting. Roman's kind of. Yeah, to me without it. But now he's. He's got him a little edge again. He's. He's a different kind of promo than punk punk can go into more detail. In the ways that he can tear you up verbally. But Roman shit because of his attitude and his delivery. He can say fewer words and still get to the same bone. Do you see what I'm saying?

1:57:47I guess so. He's. At first, if Roman he milked it like he usually does, he's walking around the ring, acknowledge me. And that's all he gets to say before punk interrupts. But he comes out grinning and shaking hands and taking his time. And the longer he's doing that and he's laughing and he's looking up at punk. The more that that he does that, he can tell it's getting under Roman skin. Because he's portraying that in a subtle way. And he's staring a hole through punk and the fans are chan for punk. Now they chanted OTC for Roman. Now they're chan for punk. And punk's like, why are you mean bugging me? He's taking a sarcastic tone to get under this fucking. In his mind, probably self-important fucking guy skin.

1:58:49And Romans want to tell us, punk, well, you're the one with the thin skin. And folks said, well, great, I got bags under my eyes because for seven weeks I got to carry your bullshit to WrestleMania. And they argued over who brought who to the dance. Because in Indianapolis, it was the Shields debut. Punk said, I brought you to the dance. He'd know you brought the other two. And they just again, it's a it's two guys that can talk and in different ways. And it's not as egregious as when. Recently, the example is MJF and out of page where. One guy has to stand there just. Absorbing it and barren up under it and suffering through it while the other guy just says every goddamn horrible thing for five minutes.

1:59:49This is a back and forth. This is a contest. If not an argument. You can't call it an argument. Because they're not, you know, just jumping in and interrupting each other over and over and yelling, but they are they're having a contest with each other verbally back and forth. It feels more natural. That they're really saying these things that they really mean rather than having. Some kind of. Dramatic script. And Roman Roman kept calling me a fill fill. We we brought you back to entertain the 40 year old virgins living with mom and dad. Maybe sell a few t shirts, maybe draw a house in Chicago, but being champion. That's too much responsibility for you. He's just a belittling a guy that normally doesn't get belittled verbally.

2:00:51But he said we can't trust you. You're a liar. You're not happy. You're not smiling. Whatever the fuck. You know, we'll put you on a, see in a scene a retirement tour and send you to NXT to train guys that I can smash. And then Roman tried to walk off from him, but punk called him. He's like, we you got some Owen goblins at your pocket. You got no shield. You got no bloodline. You're chasing me. This is my show. I run things here. You can't get things done by yourself. And hate or love me. You won't disrespect me. Retire me. You went from getting beat to getting buried. And then you, he says somehow worked it in when I bury you. You won't get me alone anymore. I'm going to bury you next to your father. And he dropped the mic on him and walked off and left Roman standing there just.

2:01:52And it was so quick. It was like, what the fuck do you say he's gone? But it's the way they, they worked it was perfect. That Roman didn't have the chance to grab him and then was trying to fight whether he's going to lose it or not. So anyway, this is, it's a personal issue. Imagine that. Yeah, and they have a dynamic with each other. It's good. I personally think it's ridiculous. There weren't agents in between them. So beyond the logic of these guys, not just punching each other in the face. Because they're agents there. It makes it look bigger and better and more heated. As opposed to get right in each other's face and say the worst thing they could think of. And then take a step back. And then the other guy, I don't like that. And I agree with you there. And again, the problem is, is it we've just been.

2:02:57Conditioned that this is the way it's going to happen. But yes, imagine if that had been. Austin and Brett or somebody arguing with each other who would have slaughter and those guys would have been in there trying to just be background fodder trying to calm it down without getting in the way of what anybody was saying or doing. If they were trying to. But we've lost that, you know, element of wrestling along with everything else. We see them run out for other things. Just get every agent slash producer, whatever they are who used to be a wrestler out there. To stand in between them and act as agents of the company. It makes it better. As opposed to, you know, is it a debate battle? What exactly is it? No one touches anybody. With that said, CM Punk was really good here. Roman Reigns at first, I thought he was getting too into the actory Roman Reigns fake bullshit way of talking, but he kind of got out of them. And it's a great dynamic and you want to see a promo battle.

2:04:00Either in different segments on the same show or one on one, but. I'd be okay with having them battle like this until WrestleMania, but you need people in between them. It can't just be face to face confrontation without any fisticuffs, without anything. Just I will let you know, no, they're they're they're done with the face to face without any. Reaper Cushion after. Pog City is going to bury Roman next to Seika, then shits on as Gary Hart would have said shits on brother. So they won't be doing that again or they better not. But yeah, I mean, that's what you pointed out is what we've lost about. Wrestling even from the company that used to do the same exact thing we just talked about they don't do anymore. Sin guys out there to be remember the confrontation between Tyson and Austin. Right, it was like you were seeing one of these things that a UFC event get out of hand.

2:05:01And they have lost that, but if they could. When they have guys that can deliver like this verbally, if they would. Provide the proper fill and atmosphere, it would be wonderful. The proper fill as opposed to sandpunk. Well, you know what I'm the proper feel like it like a Keith Richards Phil is what I'm trying to say got you the fill or like a Charlie Watts fill. Yeah, that was wrong. Well, Brian, let's cross the street now and see what they had to say for themselves over at AEW this past week, which was the dynamite for March the fourth Wednesday night. We're at El Paso. As I walked down the streets of El Paso. I saw several thousand weirdly dressed wrestling fans. They had a decent house it looked like. Or if they figured out a way to CGI these fans. I thought it looked decent and again, a hot crowd for AEW, a crowd that's really.

2:06:02As I said last time, they're doing a better job now, having a very long time. They must have had a Guerrero on the car. You can't run El Paso without a member of the Guerrero family. It's it's sacrilegious. But anyway, they opened up with the world title match with Kevin Knight and MJF and. I know they had explained in the challenge to blah, blah, blah to play. I would have had the match, but I don't know why they made it for the title right in front of the paper view. Even to where the announcer is while they're showing the. The graphic for the pay per view is a world title MJF and page that says if. If MJF retains here, which everybody knew he was going to, but the idea was to me. When I heard the match was announced was to give. MJF a good solid win over credible opponent. Going into defending the world title on the pay per view, right? This is not.

2:07:03Revolutionary wrestling logic right. And. If I had been. Agenting or producing or booking or whatever term the match, I would have said. MJF 10 minutes bell to bell have a competitive match, but don't go crazy. You're the champion going into the pay per view. You're going to look good and then don't cheat to beat him, but cheat right before you beat him. Maybe as he's got his momentum on the come back stick a thumb in the eye on a fucking over the referee's shoulder and then hits your finish and you had to. Cheat a little bit, but you still you come out strong to defend the title on the pay per view. And Kevin Knight still had an excellent match with you. Find upper middle card young baby face on the on the upswing. And instead.

2:08:03And I know this was MJF's match to lay out. You can tell that. But it wasn't. I'm trying to I wrote to us 17 minutes before all the fall to all afterwards. I can't just have a goddamn match like I just described over 17 minutes. He had to do it. He's still. This was probably Kevin Knight's best match in AW. And I like him and I like the look of him. That's why I actually sit down and watch this and wrote down things to say about it. Kevin Knight looks good. He's in shape. He's got appeal. He's got charisma like his outfit. I don't think he's going to grow as a single because he's saddled with a. You know, a 10 year old girl from a Canadian girl school is a tag team partner. And all the goofiness that he's in the middle of this group that has belts and there's more belts and a blah, blah, blah.

2:09:08But nevertheless, you can do something with this guy and he can obviously. Some of follow direction. They actually opened up with wrestling. And guess what the heel got out wrestled by the baby face. They traded arm drags and Kevin Knight gave him three arm drags and multiple shoulder tackles. The baby face was out wrestling the heel. One time where mjf was selling. And Kevin Knight was going to go to the top and miss the splash for mjf to take over. But Kevin Knight took too much time going to the top and I know somebody's going to say, well, that's because he's going to miss it. Exactly. And it makes it look like the baby face is faulty took too much time. He wasn't fucking thinking. And better if he'd gone right up there and fucking mjf got out in the nick of time.

2:10:10Then he made every effort to do it right to baby face, but the heel just barely escaped. You can tell guys what to do, but not exactly what their timing is or how to do it on the fly. Again, every time that mjf would heal him and stop him. He'd give some heat and give Kevin Knight a hope spot. But mjf would also take his time and heal the fans too. And now there was one point. I just criticize Kevin Knight. I'll criticize mjf. I came out with a big clothes line and mjf got leveled and sold it like he was dead. And Kevin Knight was kind of starting to get up, but he wasn't making a lot of progress. But here's the thing. They both got up at the same time. If the heel is not moving, he should be selling.

2:11:11He should be disoriented, but moving, even crawling away, trying to reach for the rope to get up. Because if the heel is down selling motionless while the baby face is starting to get up. There's not as much tension. If the heels dead, the fans feel like the baby face has more time. There's less urgency. So boom, when he leveled him like that, and now the baby face has an opening, the heel can create space. Get to the other side of the ring, but get up on his feet and fucking. Dust himself off and goddamn gather himself and start stalking back before you know. That the baby face is going to actually make it back up to his feet. Does that make any sense, Brian? It makes a lot of sense. Well, good. I needed a simple water. So anyway, then Kevin Knight got a couple of his big dives in, but MJF was trying to roll out of the way and stop him.

2:12:18And at about 10 minutes in, I wrote, okay. Should be about time to go. Let's go. We've had enough. Well, then. MJF stopped him, gave him a big move to count both of them sold forever. I'm like beating MJF. Kevin Knight got a number of false finishes and two counts and another dive and they were both down on the floor and they went to the break. I'm like, what the fuck? Okay, it's still not a rotten match, but you know, they need to go. And when they came back, they were fighting on the floor and Kevin Knight was in charge. He went up to the top and MJF crouched him and went for a superplex and Kevin Knight hung MJF in the tree of woe and did the coast coast drop kick. And then Kevin Knight goes to the top again and here's where they shit to bed. MJF is on his back and Kevin Knight's going to the top rope. So the referee is standing there.

2:13:22And MJF reached out with one foot and like kicked the referee in the thigh and the referee spun around in an exaggerated way and flew into the ropes, turning his back on everything and selling his shoulder. I don't know what the face like he was goddamn hit with a invisible fucking car. And then Kevin Knight hit the splash and while the referee was overselling, he came in and if the guy's supposed to be hurt and counting slow, he did the most exaggerated energetic Tommy Young bounce count one. And then fucking sold like he was dead and then bounced off the mat again to with all his vim and vigor in the world and sold like he was dead. And MJF kicked out so he had gotten a visual pin on the world champion because of a obviously phony looking referee bump and then the way that the referee counted that I've never seen.

2:14:33Do you see what I was saying that he was coming back to life with an over exaggerated animated count and then selling in between and then he would die again. Yeah, like he died in between. And he obviously took some hell of a beating that we can't see or some hell of a drug that I'd like to have some. And then Kevin Knight went to the top again and went for the splash but MJF raised his knees and hit the heat seeker 123. That was actually a nice finish if they eliminated the referee or shit. If a few minutes before that or short time before that when Kevin Knight had gone to the top instead of MJF kicking the leg of the referee raised the legs boom heat seeker boom. The guy just done the coast to coast drop kick that was the best looking thing he's going to do all night. The referee thing just brought it down.

2:15:34But they started to get into which one are we pushing territory but they didn't it was still a very good match until the fake looking horrible acting by the referee. It was a bit much for Kevin Knight because he had the the world champion pinned 10 days before the world title match on a pay per view with somebody else this would be this finish is the match you have if the rematch between these two is on the pay per view. Back with a two referees or special referee or the referee was the problem the first time as to why the baby faced and win so we will rectify that in this rematch. But that's not the kind of match you're supposed to have when you're prepping your world champion to wrestle somebody else.

2:16:35I've never figured this finish for these two at this particular moment is a crazy person. But before we talk about how much worse it's about to get brun what do you think of the match? I was going to say you'll do all this complaining about you know what the next thing is it's going to be him and speedball it seems. I mean that is pretty apparent. Well, no, I mean just the next thing they did I don't know if it's I'm saying have I think they're going to have MJF against speedball. That's what I'm saying. Well, I'm it even if they do that will be a fluvia for another day but what they continue to do here with what they basically did was as soon as MJF wins he shit cans the referee. But Adam page appears in the entrance way so while MJF is standing stared at page spitball comes in hits MJF with one of those fucking goofy kicks. And he bumped to the floor and sold like oh my god, I'm done. So now the champion is bumping for the fifth greater that used to get picked on in gym class.

2:17:38And not only did it take him 17 minutes to beat the other guy but then this fucking whip comes in and just knocks him out. Before anybody thinks that I'm upset about how they're treating him. When we get to it, I'm going to think they're just as crazy for the way of what they've done to Adam page of this show when he's going to be the challenger for the world title. And again, now he came out here with his six man tag title on for his confrontation from the runway with MJF. Good match. Probably went too long I agree with you. I don't know why Kevin Knight would have gone to the top rope the second time after the first one you kind of knew MJF will get his legs up and he did. And not looking forward to him again speedball, which will be probably the most enjoyable speedball match we see. But it's impossible. It's MJF making this little guy look like a champion.

2:18:38He just did this because somebody said well shoot. Oh, oh, Mike. Oh, Mike Bailey is going to get his feelings heard if he don't get out there and do something. I can't imagine. MJF would write and produce his own movie just to take time off to get away from working with this little fucking douche. But nevertheless, I want to know how good he really is as a karate. Practitioner. I put him in there with MVP who we know is a black belt in Brazilian jujitsu now has no reason to get racial about it. I'm not getting racial that is his rank. I believe from the last I heard. I like to see what happens there. Make it like UFC like Mike Bailey versus every tough guy you could think of and let's see what happens. Whatever. We need Ron Slinker. Remember the demolition expert Ron Slinker when he was the first one I ever saw do a live in person karate demonstration.

2:19:42He had the cheapest look. I don't care how good a karate was. He did not look like a wrestler. There was no way he wasn't that good a karate either. I got news. Maybe the last living person that watched Ron Slinker do a karate demonstration. Well, you know, Brian, the thing is they got a quick these bad habits they got over there. They got bad habits with the way that they booked their finishes the way they treat their champion the way they constructify their big main event matches for paper. They can bad habits all the way right bad habits in the ring bad habits out of the ring. We've got to do something this year about breaking these bad habits Brian. People have bad habits and wrestling and in business and they got personal bad habits. You know one of the bad I got something right here listen here. This is this is some heavy. Yeah. Some heavy I'm fixed a lay on you folks. Our friends over at fume.

2:20:42Fume. They are at fume fume. You've got to put to the dress he it's it's pronounced it's spelled fun. F. U.M. But you got to put the oom law. The little driver there over the you and it becomes fume fume fume. And what they're doing is they're trying to help people break the bad habits you you. You want to quit smoking you want to quit vaping. If you want to do these things part of it is there's the hand to mouth motion. It's a fixation. And you got it you got to break this so what fume has come up with film is a fume. Is a flavored air fidget device that gives your hand and your mouth something to do. You can hold one end of this in your hand and you can stick the other end in your mouth. And there you go. But you know what you're doing Brian. You're not ingestifying into your body.

2:21:43Bad chemicals like nicotine and propafine and salmonella and all the things that are in smoking and vaping materials that they. You've seen you've seen the studies where they have all the lists of all these chemicals that can't even pronounce. I don't know if salmonella is one of them. It's a serious thing to worry about but not in this case. It can kill you. But I'll tell you what what you're doing. If you're ingestifying why are you laughing about this? I can't. There's nothing to do with any of this though is what it can't kill you. Well, you want to keep it away. That's what I'm trying to tell people how to do is keep yourself away from the various forms of things that can kill you like the nicotine and the. Propafine and the propafol and the salmonella and all these other things. If you're vaping and you're smoking and you're you're burning things and and. Huffing them whatever you're doing.

2:22:44And here's another thing I've seen on the news don't just sniff glue and some of the children spray. Some type of air fresheners in their fucking faces. And not to mention licking the backs of frogs. None of these things don't do any of these things ladies and gentlemen. No, that's not a good thing to do. What you do is you go to fume. And you get and you get their flavored air fidget device which comes with a base. That's with a heavy part. It's magnetic boom. It's right there. A base base a little bit of and also this thing is got it's got some weight to it. It's well put together and it charges your gimmick as well as being magnetic. So it sits there and it spins around without falling off. So you can play with that too and play with yourself in your office there with that. Instead of smoking and vaping and things. But the point is what what what it what goes into this device.

2:23:47Is the flavored air cartridges. It don't have no they don't have salmonella and nicotine flavored air. No, they have sparkling grapefruit crisp mint spear mint raspberry peach blush mango. Don't know if I'm sold on the maple pepper yet, but we'll get back to that. But the point is you stick those in this and then stick this in your mouth and suck on it. And you're not poisoning yourself. You're you're you're you've got air with flavor. What can be more fucking unoffensive than that? Who doesn't have a flavor there? That's right. And we don't have enough of that in the world because now the flavors that are being belched out into our fucking just general population air. All have like dead rats and rotting garbage and. So we got it. We got a package our air now.

JCE. But Jim. Yes, yes, we should get back to the show. I'm going to say suck on this. We got more dynamite to go. Oh, God. There's a habit I'd like to break. I broke the habit that I don't have of not watching any pockets matches. I put a double negative in there. But the next match was pockets and Darby Allen against Gabe Kid and Chuck Connors. And I obviously skipped this except for the end. Apparently there was a debut here. We'll get to that in a second, but remember.

2:28:07Well, we thought Darby Allen, they might make him the next world champion. He's over his baby face and they like his weirdness and public stupidity. I don't know what you know at this point what they like. Maybe maybe it's because this was a while back when he was that over and now he's teaming up with the mascot. But now he's partners with the the mascot and he's fighting two indie guys that we still. Don't really know what the fuck their purpose is. And they started with a four way on the floor and broke a table and in the referee rang the bell so that I skipped the match. But the baby faces one and then the bride. This is what I was surprised about. A guy jumps in the ring and starts beaten up the baby faces with his cane. And I wouldn't have known who it was, but the announcer has told me.

2:29:07Thankfully. David Finley. And he comes in and beats up the baby faces with his cane and. So they debuted. Not only did they debut fit Finley son it was. Another faction with some random middle card heels. But he's not in the WWE. One would think if he. Certainly they looked at him. Why would they turn down the son of fit Finley if he was. If he had anything. Well, he's been in New Japan. And in New Japan, he was aligned with Gabe kid and Clark Connors, I believe. And all three of them have signed with AW. Well, but I'll ask the question. I asked that you answered a different one here in a second, but I'll ask this question now.

2:30:09I don't know why they have not signed him or I assume they looked at him because they look at everyone. But I don't know, but also again, who gives a shit what they did in Japan. When somebody came into the fucking Carolinas, did Dusty say, oh, because you guys were tag team partners and. Dallas, what you've got to be together, even though I'd rather do something else with you. I don't understand why they think that. All but the smallest audience knows what they've done and New Japan was on television on. Access or whatever, a few years back, did they ever crack. A hundred thousand views. The ratings that were reported, it wasn't. There's more people watching AW by far by multiple times. Then watch New Japan on TV or are watching New Japan right now from the United States.

2:31:11So why doesn't Tony just if he sees a talent that he likes, bring it in and do his own shit. Does that make sense? Because Tony is a fan for what he has seen. Of them in Japan and he wants to keep that together. He doesn't look at it the way you do or I would or. He should. Every director, every director that makes a movie because well, I love the movie. The these particular actors did. So I'm going to hire the entire crew to make my movie too. Or do you find. That's the story of AW. That's the entire story of AW Tony saw all these guys movies and said I want to be the producer of this movie. Then you've got a fucking dramatic action comedy musical.

2:32:11So anyway. And again, this may be Tony's law law land. I don't know what to tell you. If. If young Mr. Finley had. The qualifications one would have thought that he would be in that program. And they didn't keep him in a program. Who's with the program here? I don't know. I don't know. Again, his father had a history of working internationally, Germany, Japan. Before he ever got to the States. I don't know if he's trying to follow his father's footsteps and take. Well, he's certainly working in another fucking country right now. If he's an AEW. He's working in the the fucking land of. Lala. I haven't seen too much of him and he was in a suit, which was nice to see someone wearing his suit. But he had a good look. You know, I hate that he's going to be involved with pockets or whatever they're doing here, but. You know, I was intrigued enough by him much more than Clark Conner's and Gabe kid.

2:33:15Who was. Did you see him come out there like crawling? Out of the entrance way like. I don't know what demon trying to crawl out of hell. I don't know what he was going for there. No, actually, they. It looks silly. They sit pockets out first and buy so by then I wouldn't pay any attention. Oh, next time Gabe kid is a match. Watch his entrance. See if he crawls out again. Those. I was. I was late. And ladies and gentlemen, his opponent crawling down the aisle. That's it. All righty moving along. Jamie Hader and Alex Mountbatten Windsor fought. The inspiration who are two twin blonde girls with accents trying to act funny and they they did lots of dancing and. I haven't heard such fucking silence since Bruno got beaten to garden in 71 people just sitting on their hands. So that was that.

2:34:16You know, they used to be they were like a tag team in WWE. I think we saw some of their stuff years ago. They were a tag team there. And then they got released, I believe. And then they were in TNA who used them as a. Top women's tag team for whatever that's worth. Based on their WWE. TV time and Tony brought them in and squashed it. Tony brought them in and just squashed them right away. Well, but at the same point did anybody know who the fuck they were because the response was. Absolutely nonexistent. It wasn't like, oh look, here's these. Stars that we've seen and then boom, they beat him. It was like. Pretty pretty. Yeah, I don't know. You know, again, AW, it could be that or it could be AW fans rejecting them. I don't know how much of it's their knowledge of them. It's a double edge sort of they know of them from their previous work. They may hate them.

2:35:16So I don't know. You know what somebody they ought to come up with some time get because I get these girls. They look like twins. I don't they got to be sisters. I don't know what fuck's going on. They're not related at all. I don't believe. Well, they look at it. Maybe that's the problem. You can't tell one from another. But if they got the Bella should have done this. They should try sometimes some set of twin girls should try to get fucking signed by two different companies. And if they worked it right, then they could fucking actually goddamn get paid four times. Think about this because they can just keep showing up in different places to fuck it work. You can just don't tell anybody there's two of them. It's a fascinating idea you have here. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey, you just go around collecting cobblestone is with all I got that one over there. And then they just keep showing up different places. You're not sure which ones which. I don't there's something there.

2:36:16Does it help or hurt matters if it's triplets? Oh, well, then you're cleaning up. Are you going to be on too much inventory? No, because you got it's like when Nicholas had a mass team over the interns or the mighty. Yankees or whatever. He would send the real ones to the town with the best advance needs in job guys with fucking hoods to the other town or two. Anyway, hey, before we move on just real quick, because for whatever reason this is popped up and a bunch of people keep asking us. I'm going to ask you so they'll stop. What is the Kentucky meat shower? And there. Oh god damn it. I'm trying to remember the detail. Google it and I will introduce it. There was a period of time. Years ago in a certain location in Kentucky, where inexplicably for some short period of time.

2:37:19Meat. Like just bit draw meat fell from the sky over a over a certain area. I'm not I'm not making that up the Kentucky meat shower court in Wikipedia was an incident that occurred for a period of several minutes between 11 a.m. 12 noon on March 3rd 1876, where what appeared to be chunks of red meat fell from the sky in a 100 by 50 yard area near Olympia Springs and Bath County, Kentucky. There exists several explanations from blood rain to to voucher ejecta. As to how this occurred and what the meat was. Although the exact type of meat was never identified. Various reports suggested it was beef. Lamb dear bear or horse and that pretty much covers it.

2:38:23I will see you were looking you were looking for your red meats. Because they can tell that we see in 1876 there was no DNA. And so they were looking for the red meats because you know they could at least tell that by sight except for. Well you miss his Jones it was color blind who was the first one to spot it but he just thought it was just chunks of shit. But anyway. It would be hard. One would assume for even a number of vultures to have gotten onto a carcass and took enough of it into fucking air. it would reign, meet noticeably over that large of a space on the ground, where people would pick up on it to the naked eye and see the goddamn, you know, the obvious remains laying around. That had to be a lot of, a lot of vouchers that nobody saw. And, you know,

2:39:25that's the thing is they, they don't go high enough that you would, you know, they're not like, they were just regular fucking propeller vultures back then, they didn't have jet vultures. So this, this, these chunks of meat just, and they didn't have the DNA as I mentioned, so they couldn't narrow it down, but nobody, nobody blew up in a fucking airplane in 1876. So it's somewhat confounded people when the meat fell from the fucking sky. All right. Well, we will stay on top of the story for every concerned person who sent in a email about it, but back to dining. Well, there is about every 150 years or so. There is a goddamn, you know, resurgence of interest. Anyway, what they did next on a W is Adam Page beat some unknown guy in 10 seconds with his finish. And I, at this point, I was like, my God, imagine that they've actually done the right thing with the challenger

2:40:31to the world title at pay per view in the main event. He's come out and beaten a fucking guy with his finish in 10 seconds and stands tall over him as tall as Page can muster. And as that's what, what MJF needs is not a squash in 10 seconds, but he needs a squash in four or five minutes. He needs an old fashioned Jerry Lawler squash or fucking a top, a cocky top heels, a race, Steven squash where he's been more time working to people and being more entertaining, get him himself over. And then he'd beat up the fucking guy. And that's what MJF needs more of on TV instead of, you know, 17 minute title matches with middle card guys, blah, blah, blah. But there's more show to go, Brian. As I do, at least

2:41:31they did the right thing with Page, but they couldn't leave that alone. He gets on a microphone and does another promo and that never really helps his cause. It is a phony, boring, whatever MJF comes out again. And he's cutting a promo. And as he's talking to fucking Page, Ocada and Davis and Kyle jumped Page in the ring and start beating him up. But then there's three heels beating him up. But when Kevin Knight and Hong Kong Fui come out, the three heels run from the two little baby faces. Yes, they've got chairs, but Jesus Christ, but this is all happening within seconds. And then Don, Don Phallus and Lance Archer comes out and MJF is completely gone. And we're in a different angle with the same fucking challenger to the world title.

2:42:37So then Don is cutting a promo to the three baby faces, Page and fucking dip shits. I shouldn't slander Kevin Knight. And he's challenging for two more titles. He wants their six man titles that they've got. But no, wait a minute. What he's saying is that those three guys want the six man tag titles that Page and Fui and Knight have, but Kevin Knight and Hong Kong Fui shouldn't be challenging for the two more titles that is in his group because Kyle is the one kind of champion. And fucking Ocada is the other kind of champion. Davis is a fucking competitive eating champion. And Page wants the world to what the fuck is going on here.

2:43:45They want a six man tag title match. And I'll get one later today because you know what, they need a main event this far into the show. They still have time. And that's what that was setting up there. And MJ have disappeared like you said. Yes, MJ was completely on. And we're now we have the world, the guy that's challenging for the world, every week title that already has the six man tag title. Like yeah, yeah, jagged me, jagged me, blow you. And then they're going to be challenged by these three guys, two of whom are already singles champions. So why the fuck would they want the six man tag title? What? But that's tonight. Uh, we're, you know what, I'm sure it was loaded with comedy material, but Moxley went almost 20 minutes with Chi Chi Chi and I just, I know. So then we

2:44:51got to Brody King. And Brody King was in the ring telling Swerve that he's the most dangerous man in AEW. And he got in there actually got on a microphone sounded like he minutes that I'm the most dangerous man. Come on out of here if you want to fight and prove it. Brody King is stepping up a bit. I have to give the fat tattooed man his credit where it's due. He sounded better. And then Nana comes out. Are you sure about this Brody King? Yes, I want to be okay. Here's the real most dangerous man Swerve Strickland. And they played the music and Nana's waving come on, come on. And I guess they had to do that until Swerve actually did legitimately get to the fucking ring. But it went so long that you could tell that he was not coming out from that

2:45:52direction, right? You knew. And then, I mean, if you're watching from home, you knew also because of the way they shot Brody King to get the surprise shot of Swerve. But it went on for so long that you knew someone was not coming from that way. If I've watched wrestling at all, I know turn around. There may be someone the other way. As Dutchman tell would say it's the old misdirection play. So Swerve comes in a ring from behind and blast in some fashion because they had the close up on Brody. Like you said, so you couldn't see them coming in and blow the surprise anyway. But boom, he suddenly gets hit near Swerve. And Swerve has got this giant 10 foot fucking big old toe chain or logging chain or whatever all wrapped up. And he's acting. And I use that term loosely. He's acting like he's just bashing it into Brody King's back. But he's obviously pulling it to

2:46:54the point where why are you even doing that? Yeah, it looked really bad. Because because now you've just you've shit your own bed. Why did just blast him and stomp on him? And but well, but then did you see the neck wrapping? Because the idea was that he then takes the chain and wraps it around Brody King's neck. And then somehow there on the other end of it there were handcuffs and he cuffed it to the top rope. But then instead of hanging Brody over the top rope, he got out and and drug Brody there were this was the most awkward hanging I've ever seen in wrestling. And the way that he ended up Swerve was on the outside with the chain over the top rope. It was around Brody King's neck barely. You could see when he put it around and Brody had

2:47:56just crawled over there and Brody the only way that Brody is being choked is because he's hanging down from the rope. If he had just raised his head, it would have relieved the pressure on his neck and prevented him from choking out. Does that the way you saw it? I mean, what you're saying makes sense. Sure. But that's the way he had him. So I don't, did they walk through that? A head of time and decide this is the best way that we can illustrate that I'm choking this guy out. Then this awkward Ruben Goldberg fucking whole contraption here. And then so Brody's hanging himself. There's no tension on any of the chain except the tension around his neck for the top that he himself is putting on it. And Swerve cuts the promo to Brody's face. As I know, it's dangerous

2:48:57man to fuck you. All he had to do was stand up. What does he like? Six, eight? Yes. He's literally leaning forward stretching the fucking rope from from the top rope to where it's around his neck as much as possible. If he just raised up, it would release pressure. Sure. People like the concept of him and some of the big matches for people who are sickos and into that kind of stuff. But the creative is always weak. Who's house? What? Did you expect me to say that? No, I just, that's how he ends his sentences. And I'm going to do it when I review his crappy segments. Who's dead silence? All righty then. I'm sure that Thecla and Thunder Rosa for the women's title was just swell. Then Tomaso Champa came out. Okay, I'm interested in Champa. And he's doing a promo with Rin-Am

2:50:03Oxligood. Talking about Kyle and the TNT title is a good promo. He looks and speaks like a grown-up and then the FTR music hits. And I'm like, what? What the fuck? An outcome's FTR was stokely in the chair. And Dax who's taken to wearing glasses on camera, which makes him look like a slightly pudgy but studious fucking middle-aged soccer dad. What the fuck is that choice about? He said, it Dax comes up and hugs Champa. And I'm here to welcome an old friend. And he started kind of making an offer to join them like he got to come with the top guys. He's like an Olive Branch and Olive Branch, from what they've never interacted, I'm thinking, what is going on here? NXT. Exactly. Again, you can acknowledge history amongst people

2:51:11when it was memorable history. But this is from NXT from 10 years ago, is what they said. It must be. Yeah, it must be. Okay, again, Tomaso said, I hated you 10 years ago and I hate you today. Any insulted stokely and Dax got mad and they're a little shoved shoved and Tomaso slapped Dax and Dax said, okay, I'm not mad. See you Saturday on collision. What the fuck? He can't do his own shit or you can't even once you bring these guys into the same company, you can't do some history packages on one or the other that instantly mentions their past and or talk about it for a few weeks before they just run up on each other and, well, fuck you from 10

2:52:16years ago that many of these people did not see. Was NXT on television 10 years ago? It may have been on WWE Network and then they had their big events which were still streaming, but they were big events. It made NXT popular with the crowd that became the AW crowd. That was a long way around your elbow to get to your wrist to say they weren't even on TV 10 years ago. I don't think they were. I mean, I'm not saying it definitively, but I don't think they were. Team DIY versus FTR was before FTR got to the main roster, I think. So I don't think so. All right, anyway, we're time for the main event, Brian. I know you've been waiting with baited breath. So this is and it's all in the overrun. So anybody that again records the show, they're just, you know, fuck it unless they've done their due diligence. Six man title, Davis Kyle and O'Boring against Paige and Kevin Knight and Foo.

2:53:28And they started this with a sloppy six way on the floor. And I thought, well, it actually wrote this down. I said the only way that you could have worse booking on a single television program is if the baby faces lose the belts here. And in the end, MJF pulled Paige out to the floor and nailed him. And then the fucking heels double team Kevin Knight right in front of that useless Rick Knox motherfucker and beat him one, two, three and became the new champions. So you know that they say that Tony Khan and he's exhibited it. He doesn't think it hurts to lose. So oftentimes if he brings you in and beats you, that's a sign that he likes you and he's going to use you well. What does it say if it beats you twice on the same episode at the beginning and

2:54:33the end of the same episode? Let's go down the line here. So MJF the world champion takes almost 20 minutes to beat a potential field, but right now mid card baby face guy Kevin Knight. And actually has to be rely on, you know, a number of flukes and et cetera as we covered that to do it. And then Paige comes out and gets a 10 second squash match, but then is drug into a goddamn undercard six man title match where he's on the losing team right before he challenges for the fucking world title at the pay per view. And the guy that gets beat in that match is the one that

2:55:35almost beat the guy that he's wrestling in the pay per view, who's the only one that has any goddamn potential on that whole team. We've seen the best of Paige and it ain't been good and it ain't never going to get any better. And spitball is offensive to any goddamn legitimate wrestling fan just because of the phoniness and the stupidity of him. But Kevin Knight's got something. So he's the one that everybody's beaten. They're beating him like a rented mule. Meanwhile, now you've got two of these fucking guys already have belts, the heels, cowl and o-boring and now they've got more belts. What the f- uh

2:56:36Well, that's what I thought. Well, big title change there to end dynamite, new trios, tag team champions, Okada, Fletcher and Davis, and everyone has belts. It defeats the purpose because it makes the other belts not seem as important when everyone just has some other belt, but I guess at least they got one of the belts off page before he's going for the other belts. And now the other belt could be the priority, not the previous belt. And that was dynamite. But, uh, you know, that's the thing is they just, you know, they're hitting people below the belt. Oh, before we talk about the big pay per view coming up where the world champion that can hardly beat anybody faces the fucking challenger that really can't beat anybody either. Uh, what's going on in the world of the Arcadian Vanguard Network? That's a great question. I forgot we were about to do that. Uh, go through the archives or go through the shows. Listen

I do that, but you know, you're you're all the people now are said don't tease us with a good time, Brian. Hey, that's not nice. That's not nice. So what are the big matches for this big revolutionary pay-per-view revolution that AW is going to have imminently like in what in well, just a few days by the time the folks hear this. Well, Jim, I have it here on Wikipedia. A-W-A revolution, March 15, 2026. Los Angeles, California, the world famous crypto.com arena. Here's the car. What did that used to be to make it world famous? What was the crypto.com riffs that Los Angeles was that the, well, the forum was in Inglewood. Is that the it was Staples Center? There was previously the Staples Center. Okay. Let's excited this. We'll go back

2:59:44to where we were. Jim AW revolution. Here is what is announced so far to be announced for the pre show a big boom AJ match, but we're not there. What? Wait a minute now. Hold on. Let me let me stop you here just a second. Now, what was this been a year or so ago now that big boom and the other little boomer and boomer assassin and the bang bang fucking kid and all the people that eat donuts. I don't know what their deal is at Costco, but they were social media sensations and they got to guest star and do a dark match and then whatever the fuck on the pre show. Are they still like mega social media stars getting them all this publicity or is this now just a goddamn favor because they liked the guy. I don't know. Do you see this guy anywhere else? I personally don't. I haven't

3:00:45heard anything else about him. I don't know what he's doing, but it's not really my kind of scene. I will say his pre show matches at least get the fans there into it. Sometimes more than other things. So, well, that's why I'm wondering is what else does this fucking guy do except boom? And is he ongoingly doing boomer? Is he? I'm just still over because he used to do boom. Somebody give us a goddamn sent us a letter in on this. All right. Go ahead here. Yeah. Jimmy Trio's match for the AEW World Trio's championship, the champions, the Calis family of Kazushka O'Connor Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis versus Mystico and Jet Speed, the Jet Kevin Knight and Speedball Mike Bailey. So, it's Los Angeles. I'm sure that there will be an audience that

3:01:46is there for for Mystico. Why stick him in his fucking mess? Why not give Mystico a fucking either his own opponent that he wants to bring or a suitable guy on a roster or giving 10 or 12 minutes to go out there and show everybody these there in person and it's Mystico. The two smallest guys on the show probably are Mystico and Speedball Bailey and they're against the three tallest guys in the company. O'Connor Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis. And again, that's obviously I wish nothing for O'Connor except a quick trip back home and retirement because he's the shits and he doesn't care and he doesn't try and it's the most ridiculous thing that he's making any kind of money. Everybody else on the roster out of mutiny and Davis is good. We were hoping for him and his partner. But if Kyle, if they're wanting to and Kyle's already got a singles championship, why is he in this six-man bullshit? If you want to make him a top guy and

3:02:52again, is everyone blind deaf and dumb that wants to employ Mike Bailey? I think so. So this is just is that the pre-show? I don't know if that's the pre-show. It's one of the matches for the main show, I believe, but Christ will find out Jim for the AW Women's World Championship two out of three falls. Tecla. Oh no. Tecla the champion versus Chris Statlander. Oh Christ on a cracker. Can they just agree to split to first two falls into locker room and just give us the third one in front of the people? Come on. You're not intrigued. You don't want to see two out of three falls Statlander versus Tecla. What could that be? A what can it be? What can it be now? What can it be on my TV screen? I don't understand they're being so mean. Do you think Statlander will regain the championship?

3:03:56I would hope so, but I don't know. Jim Brody King versus Swerve Strickland. Well, they've obviously they've got a good babyface in Brody King. And Swerve has just turned heel. I would think it would say because these things don't follow the normal patterns of things to where these people should be individually now. I wouldn't want to beat Brody King right now because he's still on the way up except then Swerve looks like complete fucking idiot. If he just turns heel and loses his first time, so Swerve has to win. But normally, I'd say I hope they protect Brody, but then that may mean that they bring a bazooka out and fucking shoot Swerve in the head. So who knows? Oh, Megan, what if Omega costs Swerve the

3:05:01match? No, because it's still. He can't just turn heel and do this heinous thing to this fucking guy and then just lose the first one at this point because where they all are now. Well, Jim, another match anyway. Andrade El Italo versus Bandito. My prediction. I'm being serious. It'll probably be the best match on the show. You think with with Bandito and Andalee Andalee Areba? What do they call him the other day when they messed up his fucking name? Andradeley. Andradeley. Yeah, and Andradeley. Well, I mean, that goes back to mold comment to flare that time on the clash with him and Luger that the rest of

3:06:02it stunk. I say you stole the show, but it was petty theft. Is this really going to be an accomplishment? But it I just I'm annoyed by Bandito's lack of basics, rotten timing and goofy fucking suplex and other goofy moves that people have to just ridiculously cooperate for. Well, maybe Andrade will just beat him up. All right, Jim. Well, the next match is a no-time limit match for the continental championship. Jesus Christ, don't give these people any more encouragement. Give them a time limit for fuck's sake. The champion John Moxley versus Kenosuke Tikeshta. Oh boy. Well, does he have to go over this the cash to have to go over here? Well, but here's the thing it's going to put Moxley in his, you know, wet dream land already because he's going to be against a Japanese guy and he can make it

3:07:03strong style and be Japanese and do all the stuff that nobody sells and kick people in the fucking throat and all that shit. Moxley is way too garbage of a worker to showcase Tikeshta's strengths as an agile, athletic, fairly well versed technical in-ring performer that has you know, youth and oomph to him instead of this whatever the fuck this thing Moxley has to him. So, I mean, Moxley's matches are normally bad, but at least with guys who English is a first language and they learned to work in America and potentially know that Moxley is the shits and they're going to try to compensate for it. They can come out better than I believe

3:08:04our boy take is going to do everything that Moxley wants him to so this is going to be a shitty match. And I would love to see Moxley put him over, but who knows is he is he back to the Moxley that never loses or is he the Moxley from a few months ago just air by and her brother was beaten him. Who knows with his fucking clown? All right, we shall see. Will it be Rocky II or Rocky IV? Jim for the tag team championship. The champions FTR cash and dax with Stokely versus the young box, Matt and Nick and their receiving hair lines. And boy, have you, I didn't even mention a pre tape that was on the show that they were sitting in a boardroom and the Jackson boys they're trying to act mad and like, oh, to come over this disc right now and do what? And do what? That was what I said when I watched that. Yeah.

3:09:05And do what I frightened more people in a fucking room for real when I told Kevin Dunn the same thing. I was already standing up and they're fucking actually like this god damn. I mean, who knows again? It's whatever that the little buckaroos think will that will give them the most favored outlook from the fans. Do they want to be selfless and put these guys over? Or do they want to be ego maniacs and protect their legacy is 18-time Dave Meltzer fantasy of the year, whatever. But does anybody give a shit at this point? At least at one time, it was a bit of a big deal who would a match between these two teams and who would win and now they're just doing it because nobody gives a shit what the buckaroos are doing. They're playing with their friends and now they can have a feature match. And who knows if they want

3:10:07the tag team titles because then that would put they do more well wouldn't that put more attention on them that nobody gives a shit about them? If they were also the tag team champions and no, I think they still continue to not give a shit about them. I think they have a reality distortion field where they pretend like what's happening isn't happening. I mean, again, next to Kenny Omega, they've won Dave Meltzer fantasy of the year as you put it more times at anyone. So there's a segment of the crowd that they want to listen to that doesn't think their shit stinks and then everyone else has seen this over and over and over again. And everything they do outside of the ring won't even get into their matches in the layouts and everything that has to happen because they can't just wrestle a tag team match has to be their referee who knows stand over there and do nothing because we're going to ignore every rule of tag team wrestling because we have to otherwise we can't do all the things that pop us.

3:11:08But I just don't think it's really, it doesn't seem to work, but the outside of the ring stuff, the skits, anything they do in the back, anything they do talking, anytime Matt Jackson is on a mic, it comes across as cringey and bad and the problem is they've, they're surrounded by people who actually back up their bad instincts. I mean, you saw branded cutler in that scene. My reasoning is a job is these guys, but it's always been just like really lame shit. Like even when all the indie fans 10 years ago, we're going crazy over the bucks and their social media content, it was never good. It was always just lame. And I tried to, I tried a time or two to watch why are people watching this YouTube thing channel show being the elite or whatever, and it just it was awful. It was a series of them having random conversations and doing stage skits with their friends who weren't natural entertainers either. So that's what I think about that,

3:12:13but I think the box will win the belts. That would be my prediction. Good lord. And Jim, finally, the main event, a last chance Texas death match for the AW world championship. If Paige loses, he will never be able to challenge for the world championship again. The champion MJF versus Adam Page. And you know, again, because they, they would legitimately expect Paige to stick to this stipulation for the rest of his life, not only the fans of this company, but the people in the company. It wouldn't be anything like, well, we got way, we can keep him away from it for a couple of years because he's had it enough already. And then somebody will do something so heinous that people will demand it to what a bubble blah. They probably intend to stick to this because they're fucking marks. But at the same time, what the fuck would they be thinking to put to

3:13:18belt back on page? Mr. Charisma, Mr. Warmth, again, when MJF just got it new years, has defended it like once or twice just barely. And you would damage again, a guy that at least moves numbers and or, you know, whatever the fuck, even more than he already has been damaged. So it does make it hard to call. But hopefully, sanity will prevail. And they have realized that over the next couple of years, they don't need Paige to be the champion again anyway. And he'll get fucked by whoever wants to be the world's most dangerous man. Or the most dangerous, or and Dick the bruiser will come back. And or the most whoever you know what I'm saying. But I,

3:14:18I mean, since since none of this has to make any sense because it usually doesn't, you can't do what's logical or surmise what's logical or sensible for business because that doesn't have any bearing on AW finishes. And it would be a great heel move down the road if somehow he does get a title shot. And he turns. He can say he's drinking again or something. And there he is. He got a title shot. Either that or all the fans have started drinking because he was the champion. Well, there it is. AW revolution from Los Angeles, California coming up this this next weekend actually as we are recording back to Jim. That's right, Brian. We're going to what we're going to do right now is before we end the show, we're going to take a short break and travel through time because we have smelled something might be going on tonight on Smackdown. It's Cody versus Drew for one of their world titles. And that's going to decide who goes into the main event at

3:15:24WrestleMania. So we're going to take a brief time travel and come back and let everybody know which one it's going to be. And we're on the future. I told you to change the oil in that son of a bitch. I've lost one of my legs. It didn't materialize again. Son of a bitch and I've got to scratch my toe. Oh, it's it's coming in slowly. All right, you would you take that thing over to Valveline? Anyway, everything's fine. We are here in the future. We would like to congratulate the victor of the made event on Smackdown on March the 6th for the WWE title. They made a major world title match after the pay-per-view on the post game show between Cody and Drew

3:16:29and obviously advertising for Smackdown. That's a pretty big fucking match for Smackdown. And we felt like something was up. Let's just say. So the one thing this show will give my god, it's three hours just fast forwarding through it to get to this goddamn point was boring. But they started the history package between these two guys at like 10, 25 Eastern time. And after the entrances and the introductions and the breaks and all et cetera, the bell rang at 20 minutes till they killed 50 minutes for that. But this was one of the better obviously TV matches, not only that they've had lately, not only from a work standpoint, but from an import standpoint. And except for, you know what I'll tell you what I wrote and then

3:17:32tell me Brian, when I wrote it, what spot came next? I said, no silliness, nothing preposterous, didn't bury the referee, serious, clear heel and baby face. Both guys over, no stupid furniture. What did they do? Get the tables. They had a good match. Cody was all over Drew. They did a jump start on the floor, which was called for here. It's a grudge match. And Cody was all over him and then Drew got some heat. But Cody made it come back and as Drew was bailing out, he posted Cody's arm and started working the arm. And these guys are both pros. They know what they're doing. They're serious about it. Shit wasn't, as I said, neither bearing the referee or looking fucking phony. And then they go outside, Cody hit a big dive and Cody clears off the desk and

3:18:37they're going to do a deal. He tries the crossroads on the desk. And I guess Drew was going to reverse it for something. And the desk collapsed under him. And then the fans start chanting, we want tables. So they just stop their match and go start looking under the ring for fucking tables. It's come to this that the fans are mad, even during good matches, if you don't break furniture. And I blamed them. They didn't need to do a move on the fucking announced desk. And if I haven't gone after the announced desk, then they wouldn't have to stop everything and go under the ring and get a table. And Cody was the one who found the table and pulled it out and then Drew powerbombed Cody through it. So your baby phase is the idiot. But nevertheless, that was, it was unnecessary to go on doing anything with either table. They were

3:19:38doing just fine. But then they got back into the ring. And then boom, boom, boom, Drew hit a crossroads. It got a two count. And then Drew went for the Claymore and Cody fucking blocked it and Cody hit a Claymore. And then they teased hitting Charles Robinson was the referee. And they teased one time with one guy picked the other guy up and he's swinging around and little N.H. Charles ducked the the feet. And then next time Drew almost charged into him in the corner. And then Drew pulled the referee in front of him for Crowdy's, Crowdy's cross body off the ropes and like a crow. Yeah, like a crow. And then he just kind of grazed him. But Charles Robinson went down. It was down for five minutes. Here's my thought. Is that the referee bump is best

3:20:45when it's out of nowhere. No pun intended to the RKO. If you tease it, now they're looking for it. And then you tease it twice and then you actually do it. What are the chances that something can accidentally happen after it's almost accidentally happened twice in a span of 45 seconds? The referee bump is better when it comes out of nowhere and it doesn't look like he was waiting for it. And you can't get too fancy. Not only are the referees not trained usually to the extent of most of the wrestlers, but Charles Robinson 60 fucking years old. So don't do something that you to make it look good. Either timing would have had to been perfect or you got a legitimately wifey mount, squash him in the corner, double knock out with a shoulder tackle, somebody's splash, drop elbow, accident, whatever the fuck. But nevertheless, so Charles gets grazed by Cody and we've

3:21:55seen the last time for the next four or five minutes. There's a back and forth and Cody hits cross roads, but the referees down. So Cody's calling for the ref and a new ref and Drew hits a kick and referee number two Rudy Charles comes in, cover one, two Cody kicks out. And Drew is mad and he's you know, menacing the referee. But then Drew posts Cody like twice and then turns around and headbutts referee number two. Wouldn't that be a disqualification, Brian? I was going to say he didn't hit him from behind. He hit him right to his face. Yes. Well, he had butted him. Yeah. Either referee got a real good look at fucking Drew's face right before it smashed into his head. So if it's got the logic has to continue. Dusty's finish was always a

3:22:56second referee comes in. Counts fucking pin, but the first referee revives and has seen did his qualification. This would have just been the off. But the point is, why? Why? If he's headbutted to referee, now he should have been disqualified. But now that referee's out of the way. So Drew goes out and gets a chair, draws back is going to hit Cody and fattos on the apron and grabs the chair away suddenly and snatches it. And then Charles Robinson's back in and the match goes on. And then Drew misses a kick and Cody hits the cutter off the top and it's crossroads. One, two, three. And Cody is once again the champion going into WrestleMania. But at exactly 11 p.m. It, well, it exact, well, no, I think they won two minutes over.

3:23:59I think they, because my DVRs said three minutes or three minutes, I wish three hours and two minutes or whatever. But did we need the, all the Zabadai with the referee? Which just, I thought was distracting and odd and unless they're going to make a big deal out of Drew screaming, why didn't, why wasn't I disqualified when I headbutted to referee? And, but seems like that would have been explained and been started. Somebody, oh, they should have disqualified him. But now it's Cody and Orton. For WrestleMania, I said they were going to do it sooner or later and they, I guess they decided with all the other problems they've had sooner is better than later. Let's see what they do. I mean, the potentials there, the backgrounds there. Let's see if the angles are there and the promos are there. Randy did a promo

3:25:04earlier in the show and it was just to me an average Randy Orton promo, the kind of promo he's been doing under Vince McMahon for years, nothing yet to really amp things up. But if there was ever a time that let Randy Orton loose a little bit and just not having him seem so programmed at times, this would be the time. Switch him heel and let him be himself. I don't want to feel like he's practiced which words to use. And sometimes it feels like he's doing a WWE promo, you know, like here, yeah, do a WWE promo for me as opposed to, you know, sell me on Randy Orton versus Cody Rhodes. But there's still time. There's still time, but you know what? There's no time left for Brian. What's up? Anymore of this fucking show we've gone too long already. What are we coming back with? Are you going to do something again or if you quit? We have the drive through in a few days. We will have a bunch of stuff probably guest the program, probably some fast food news. Maybe the rest of

3:26:07Smackdown of Jim watched any of that as well as questions and fun and so much more history and fun. Fun is the big one. Fun, fun as opposed to food. No, not food. Fume. No, Fume. Fume. Is I'm not, I'm not talking about our friends over at Fume. I'm talking about having Fune. All right. Well, let's have some food. How do we get out of here? I'll tell you how. I'll tell you how you're you're all dismissed. Ladies, gentlemen, thank you.
