Episode 435: Jim Reviews AEW Revolution

[Music]

“That was unnecessary. Hello again friends, and you are our friends, we're screaming just for the opening words and now it'll be a gentle whisper for the rest of the program. Hello.”

We have a nice relaxing episode today reviewing the glorious match and wrestling history. Welcome back to another edition of Jim Cornet's Drive Through.

We have a loaded show. Let's not waste any time. I'm your host a great Brian last and here is the man who for the listeners has watched more wrestling over the last 24 hours that he's ever wanted to watch. No, Mr. Jim Cornet. Well, you try to get me off on a different topic, Brian, but your organ recital there. I know what you're trying to do, you're trying to make me laugh, you're trying to put me to good mood because I've had them. Repair people for one of the furnaces here. The last Friday and now I've got I'm waiting on the plumber for the kitchen sink and I had to watch what I had to watch and the weather outside is frightful it went from 77 degrees Sunday afternoon to 30 degrees Monday afternoon with snow fleries this morning and temperatures in the teens after the severe storms pass through.

All these things have happened since I've just spoken to you in the last three days or whatever and you're trying to put me to good mood. By playing the most sour, you know, my sound effects had to get x-nade here on this program because of the fancy damn new sound apparatus and filtering and noise cancellation and dobe stereo and whatever the fuck else you've jacked up into this goddamn production. We're actually sounds like we're trying and now you're organ playing was so offensive to that apparatus that for the first time ever your organ playing just was was was muted there like it was some extraneous noise like a whale fart passing by or a fog horn or something.

You crackled this the sound filter thing with that one. First of all, you know that whale farts and fog horns is the name of my new album coming up very soon on.

Check it out, but second of all who are you to criticize my music that makes millions of people happy all across the world that gets millions of people in the mood for hot wrestling talk.

“Where are these people that get in the mood for anything except possibly self inflicted punishment? Would you would you criticize jumping off a bridge from listening to your music?”

Would you criticize Paul McCartney? Would you criticize Maurice White? Would you criticize Delbert McClinton? I would criticize Paul McCartney's ram album.

Hold on now, that maybe is best album. You ever from a ram? Oh, come on.

Maybe it's best solo. You think in again, counting wings, too. You don't think that's his best album after the Beatles. What? Was it that the one with the really silly stuff? Like what? I just was watching this Paul McCartney documentary. I haven't watched it yet. I'm meaning to. But what silly. There was some silly shit in the middle. What was that when you're talking about getting his wife sing? I think I mean.

And then he did some really stupid song that I hadn't thought of in years and it reminded me of it. Now, can't remember to get it. Because I've had to make things on my mind. Did you see the Oscars? Let me ask you this.

“Do we not do it? But you should have because the Oscars were on right before while we were just under the tornado watch right before they popped in.”

If they didn't want to interrupt the Oscars, but it seems better. 10 30 came. That's when shit got lively and in all stations were on the air with it. But I was watching the crawl of the weather leading up to it and states like the Oscars. So I watched the weather crawl and she was, but she doesn't know where these fucking people anymore either. She said, she was like, who the fuck are these fucking people?

She sounded like Holy Anderson. Who the fuck are these fucking people? How about the fact that it was up against the A, W, paperview in the same town?

And the people that were at the Dorothy Chandler pavilion or whoever the fuck they hold this thing these days. I don't think they were the same crowd that could have possibly gone over to A or vice versa. And it, let me, I don't care if people stuck with AEW after this show rather than watching the Oscars or Oscar Meyer or Oscar Rudolf

or any of the other famous Oscars in history, then they're never to leave him for anything.

“But nevertheless the reason I asked you why if you watched the Oscars is because did you see who one of the people it was sponsoring the Oscars?”

Which ties into something we've been speaking of here lately. No, I've no idea. Burger King. The sponsor of the Oscars really? Burger King not only sponsored the Burger King, but like I swear I thought it was a 90 second spot the first when they played it may have been just 60. But a minute or a minute and a half on a fucking Oscars is more than most people will ever see or even have the opportunity to steal in their lifetime.

And it was just the first of multiple I saw two or three at least and of course then I was looking out to yard, I may have missed it, but they bought apologies, not commercials.

Burger King apologized to America, Brian, on the Oscars for a second.

“Are you sure, I've not heard a thing about this, what did they say?”

Well, it was in as well-worded away as they could without just grovelin. I thought you were going to say it was like to see a punk sorry last week, like we're sorry. We're sorry McDonald sucks. Yes, no, no. No, they came and like I said, they didn't just get down on their knees and hold their mouths open like please piss here. But they did it as well as the Mia Copa. Oh, America, the commercial starts out with all of the clips from the commercials from the glory days, the 60s, the 70s, maybe even the 80s, would you see?

You know, all of the fucking cool kids and hemp cats cruising through the parking lot on their way to the sock off and everybody's having a good time. And he'd be giant fucking burgers with grease dripping out of them and every and it's America right on a sunny day. And they're talking about the wap or and all the things that it's meant. And then they got to think the phrase wasn't in somehow. We lost our way and they actually put up.

“This is a great of cinematography. They put up a, imagine a video camera low on the ground in a burger empty burger King parking lot looking at the restaurant, right?”

And like some kind of surgioly only fucking western from the 60s and empty fucking soft drink cup like a tumble weed in slow motion is blowing across the fucking parking lot. We lost our way. Now we're back, baby. And we've listened to you. We've, they fired the king. They booted the king out.

They showed them if you're fired by the fire and the king sitting there all rejected because he's unemployed now. You are our boss is now. They, they've made the baby face appeal to the people and the surveys of what we should do to fix our burgers. And now the offer's back. And that was the theme of the fucking sponsorship of the most watched.

I guess telecast in a country that's not to Super Bowl or whatever the fuck usually that is 20 or 30 million people.

Yeah, we. We sucked for a while, but now we're not going to suck anymore, which remains to be seen, whether it's, you know, was. Yeah, did they have any solutions? What are they actually changing? We just know that they've, they've, they've done a, I mean, it's a whole campaign that they're unleashing, but apparently they've done the surveys on what all sucked and they fixed the suckiest and. The ingredients and the burger and whatever the, I don't know, see, once again, it's not like. They came out and said, so we've hired.

Managers for our various franchisees that actually give a shit about what goes on in the fucking place and of if we're paying our employees enough to motivate them to actually care whether they live or die over the top of the fucking deep fryer. They say that. They, they, they, they, they, they're listing to the people about what they don't like about to burger and they've made changes. Well, two things. One, I think new rule. And they're talking about food until hour three.

I'm hungry now.

And secondly, we're not just thinking the tumbleweeds in the fucking empty burger.

Captain, they lost their way. See that, you know, your, your parsipity Burger King location air may not have got them caught up with the fucking memo yet. They may still have tumbleweeds. There's a really good burger king actually surprisingly in Morris town a few years ago here in New Jersey and they wrecked it down the bill, a giant office building. But they have the best burgers. I've been saying it when you compare them to McDonalds and Wendy's, the other two top competitors. Burger King has the best burgers. They should just run with that and make them bigger and better.

Hey, let me, did I ever, we have the best burgers like that should literally be the slogan.

“Did I ever tell you about my favorite fast food place in Connecticut now that I think about the parsipity Burger King?”

It reminds me of the, who was that goddamn town? I was in hunting to Fairfield. Was the town, no, Monroe. Monroe. Does that make sense to you? You've been closer up there a lot sooner than I have. I know fairfield. Yeah, I know fairfield pretty well.

Was it was Edward Brother Broussey live? Was he was in Monroe when I was in Huntington, right? You were there. This is another one of those you were there. Well, it's where you got it. And then you just refused to remember anything. It's crazy.

Well, I see it's PTSD. Motherfucker. No, here's the thing. It's in Connecticut. It's so screwy because there's, there's all these little towns in Connecticut.

Like, I lived four miles from, from Bruce specifically because I thought I was going to be working at his house. And we've told that story. I'm not going to get bogged down. But he's at a completely different fucking town. A completely different fucking address and the whole nine yard. And they're all these little towns.

“So I try to remember which was which. But the point is.”

There was a McDonald's near my home there where I when I would have come from Stanford. Had me passed and by there, I'd have to get off the highway. But it wasn't far or if I happen to be.

And private over for some reason to be an added always like because it was the most consistent.

Good McDonald's, because when McDonald's, whether the quarter pounder or the big Mac or the fries or whatever, especially 30 years ago, when they did it like it, the supposed to be done, it was good shit. You just hardly ever found that and especially not consistently even in the same place. This was the best McDonald's ever. Not only was the food delicious and it was made like it was a picture in the fucking commercial.

But if he went inside the place was spotless or if you went through the drive through it was always,

“I mean, just like that and you didn't have to fucking tell him four times and you were out of there and it just.”

Wow, I became a McDonald's fan, right? And then I go there one day at like 130 in the fucking afternoon for say, may have been a Saturday or what I don't know. But 20 is right now middle of the day and you would think they'd be busy right there closed. And it didn't have any sign about remodeling or you know, whatever the fuck. It closed in the middle of the fucking, so I go home, I look on the news at night.

Guess who was arrested for selling marijuana at that location, first picture.

No, they never caught him.

The actual employees of the goddamn McDonald's were dealing weed out of the drive through window. If you knew you knew that you ordered something and they put it apparently in the goddamn sack when you got your order. And apparently I never off ordered off the menu. I don't know what the fucking code was, but that in the cops did they undercover busted him an infiltrate whatever the fuck and closed the whole goddamn McDonald's down for I don't know how long it took him to rectify that. But can you put a drive through weed window? That's a wonderful idea. Do you think that the illicit activity caused them to make the food better as like a thing to, you know, no one will complain if we just take care of the food.

I don't know. One would have thought that if it was some type of, I would, you know, I thought they should have added it to the national McDonald's menu because if that's what the bad product was of the best restaurant and think of how many McDonald's have been to again. The best most consistent, cleanest, nicest, best tastiest. They were the ones that got closed down for selling drugs.

How do you find out? I used to be a thing in Brooklyn.

I got about Dego with a yellow onion. You can go get some shit in there. That was not supposed to be for sale. That's all I'll say. And it was kind of known. It was kind of around. It was so big that they couldn't even stop it. I can't speak about how it was now. But if this way, one alone McDonald's, if there's one alone McDonald's where they have this service.

If you're selling to a lot of people, A had to expect that not to get out.

“And I don't remember what B was. This seems like such a good idea.”

Well, I don't know how long they've been doing it, but apparently it was somewhat successful for a while, but back to your comment. What if some fucking guy just likes yellow? Some guy opens up a business. I want to go to the sand people. I'm going to have a big old yellow. Sand made and oh, dad would be proud.

And then any wonders what people are coming in.

Hey, he got anything. What would you get a go away from here? Sir, I'm an honest tradesman. If he opened up that place in Williamsburg 25 years ago, yeah, people would have expected him to have some stuff behind the counter.

Or in the back. Well, and he would be likely confused if people asked for it. I'm sure. Then do the other people who have the yellow oning have to go over. Is there a yellow oning association?

Y'all? Where they go over and say, hey, you're not qualified to have the yellow oning in this neighborhood? Again, I can't really go into specifics or anything else about this. This one time. Well, you seem to have all the other information. I don't have any information.

As a matter of fact, I don't know what I'm talking about. I wasn't there. You have no recollection of these incidents now. I still am a candy. Ah, I want candy.

Is that when you had to walk in and go, ah, I want candy? That's right.

“You have to sing bow while loud to the people there.”

Well, anyway, maybe that's-- that was adamant. The other example of why it's hard to be into fast food business in Connecticut. Those were the ants. Adam and the ants, you know, Adam and Antony first started up and he had a band. Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of the Sex Pistols, agreed to start managing him and his band. And then he just stole the band and put them with the girl singer about, well, well, it'll have to happen.

He knows they were the same. Yeah, no, he-- I mean, it worked out well for me. Put together a new band and that's when he really blew up into states. But Malcolm McLaren literally stole the band, the ants. From Adam Ant and put them with bow while less of, you ever see that music video?

Those are the original ants.

Well, at least Adam came out well in Ian because he always was.

It shows nice guys do win whatever once a while because he was such a goody two shoes. You know, with all the influence that MTV had early on on wrestling pretty quickly for the first few years of MTV. It really look, it's a direct line between that and wrestling. You know, probably peaking with the WWF relationship in '84 or '85. But so many people stole their looks or their persona.

We're just the attitude from what was happening with the youth culture on MTV. How come no one stole the new romantic look? Like Adam Antad with the tribal war paint, even though obviously he was not a native anything. But no one went with that look like a young tag team. So the rock and roll expressive they had come out with like, just like pirates with these feet on.

They're there. There were some limits. There were some limits. But now think about this because. Well, I got damn you're going to crucify me for this.

But MTV's debut year was '81 or '81 correct? I don't want to believe that's right. '81. Okay. A lot of that not only had to do with MTV, but remember to set people under estimate the Miami-Vice influence.

“Because those two, that's what the fans.”

Because I mean, I know most people credit the rock and wrestling connection with Cindy Lopper and, you know, a paper of the WWE Fitsetra, but Jared was doing that with the Fabs in 1982. And that's people have seen the early music videos even before that. They would do in Memphis and Lawler use music and Lee Roy Brown and blah, blah, blah, free birds. It was less than a year after MTV started.

But yeah, but that's the thing. And it wasn't to be honest. It wasn't like Jared saw the coming revolution in MTV. And it has to melt with wrestling. He was like, "For these guys, for this gimmick."

The fabulous ones.

Once he saw good music videos before, we're just kind of dress up. But we can't show the 45-minute match. But boy, this looks great. You know, in feature pieces and

“value doing his own single and him shooting him on stage.”

Lipsick and in a blah, blah, blah. That was 1979 when they did that.

But nevertheless, the point I was trying to make is when that finally hit with the Fabs.

And then he was there was a new music video a month. Those the girls were tuning in weekly just to see the new Fabs video. And they did them as quick as they could and used all the fucking music. Not just their theme and had them in every kind of outfit and place. And I've got the pictures of them in the barn with the blue jeans unzipped.

And the goddads insane. It was like with the fans and the audience, especially it came live. It was like Don Johnson and a Miami-Vice guys. What was the other guy's name?

Philip Philip the Philip fellow. Philip Thomas. There you go. See I was on a road at what was in Miami-Vice. But the girls were and it was when the Fabs came.

It was like they had come. The Miami-Vice cops had come to town in person. They were swooning. So as much as the MTV influence. It was also that specific for the for the young female population.

They were more interested in Don Johnson and they were at a man. It's where I was going with that. Well again, a lot of these things happened pretty quickly within a few years. Miami-Vice I think started by 84.

Again, a MTV's 81 fabulous once first video 82.

Rock and wrestling connection, 84.85. But you start seeing all these videos. I mean, you could argue. The rock and roll express in mid-South was super over same thing. I mean, they had music videos there.

Some are of 84. They had music videos to jump by Van Halen. I mean, I was as cool as it gets. Do you think it would have been different at all? If the fabulous ones had been launched with you dropped the bomb on me.

Instead of the video for everybody wants you.

“Like do you think like the order of those mattered?”

Um, yes. Because to be honest, you dropped a bomb on me. It was just because that song you couldn't get away from that goddamn song. That was the, for how many weeks or months or whatever. I was like, negule us now.

That song was on. You don't like to get back. But not to be played on the radio and on TV and everywhere. And elevators incessantly, right? But the original Fab's video was everybody wants you by Billy Squire.

And that was the vibe that Jared even. I don't know whether he founded or somebody brought it to him. I refused to believe Jared Jared. But he had same time when he was watching MTV, probably saw it. God damn research this was Jeff was Jeff watching MTV.

Because that's probably all Jerry would have seen it, right? Jeff was. It, it what in 1982, Jeff probably, you know, uh, Mike Duncan lived in Nashville used to tape MTV and, and bring me VHS of six hours of MTV up every Tuesday night, the ring announcer.

Because because we didn't have it up area, we'd have cable. Anyway, everybody wants you was the rock star that at least the fast life and the blah, blah, blah, go look up the lyrics kids. And also that it can become, you know, the excesses of fame can bring you down. That's it with the Billy Squire production,

bling bling bling, it's basically a fucking updated life in a fast lane.

And that's the vibe he wanted for these guys that they're fucking rock stars, that they're movie stars, that they're celebrities, that they have the women in the life and the blah blah blah. And that's why he had the limousine. He bought the limousine so the fabs could fucking enter in it.

In the big shows and what end they could do the videos with it. And putting them all in all those outlandish positions where they're showing almost every part of their fucking body except for little speedos, because the girls were literally. God damn, as I said, watching the TV show to see these videos.

“That's why they were selling thousands of my little color pictures every week.”

It ended and going in the same girls in every weekly town would buy every new picture that you produced of them. It was a phenomenon, a non. But anyhow, this has been fast food and music news.

That's just what we do, I guess.

But, you know, those pictures are some of the pictures available in some of the products that Jim Cornette.com Cornette's collectibles. Many of these that more will be soon to be quite honest with you there. But right now, yes, he rose in friends that wonderful book is available at Jim Cornette.com. Along with folks by the time you hear this, just jump on Jim Cornette.com.

on the that I've worn and/or sweat it and stained otherwise in various rings around the world.

And that's going to be on sale on Saturday April 4th at noon Eastern.

It's not like I have 1700 blue shirts or whatever. So that's going to be available at Jim Cornette.com, but all of the normal fine high quality low priced merchandise is available.

Just every single day of the week, Brian.

At Jim Cornette.com, I think we said that. And if they if they've listened this far, they know who I am. Well, Jim, as I said at the top, we have a pack show. We have so much to get through. We have a paper view. We have raw. We have other news items. Why don't we start with a follow up on something on the last show, the experience we talked about. The incident involving OVW referee Dallas Edwards.

He was hit with a shoot cross body. Hit his head on the mat went into seizures. I think everyone has seen the video at this point. Everything happened around him, but there are still a lot of questions as to why things went down the way they did. Who is there? Who is responsible? And we have a few things as follow-ups here today, Jim. Well, apparently one of the gossip-mongering sites, or we allowed to mention them, or they, I would think they encourage us to mention them. TMZ somehow, how do you get a 911 call?

Would you as a grown adult man with a family? Right now, if I'm asking you, because I am asking you, how do you get a 911 call recording of it? Yeah, I don't know myself, because it's not something I've ever done or encouraged anyone to do. But I believe it would be something that, because 911 is a public, not institution, but it's a public service. Those calls are not, those call, I guess, file a free to have information at that really don't even know what.

Well, I mean, it's like Jesus Christ. I didn't know this could be done. I think I've said this before, but I still don't know how the fuck you do this. And let me just say, I do think it's rather disgusting when it's happened in the past, when someone is died, and TMZ specifically, but they're not the only ones I don't believe. Leak the 911 call of the distraught family member. I think that's pretty reprehensible.

Yeah, well, it isn't that, but I just want to say, I think it's a awful practice.

“Uh, but I mean, I remember that they, they've obviously, they've had, oh, here's the 911 call when Michael Jackson, you know, they call by, oh, it's a, I would think.”

Okay, some fucking body, bribe somebody or whatever, because it's Michael Jackson, but it is, apparently, you could just, TMZ didn't use to cover wrestling. So now you can just get in, it's fucking Louisville. I mean, it's not like it's London or Paris or Rome here, but in Louisville, you can just get 911 calls if you call up. Hey, can you send that over to me? I don't fucking know. Hey, but having said that, I just looked, I just looked it up.

911 calls are generally considered public records in the United States, but access is not absolute varies by state. Well, it, I mean, what wouldn't you have to now hate to go off on a rant here, but can any Jack leg just call up a Louisville 911 service and say, hey, send me the recording. Don't they have better things to do? Like take 911 calls.

“Wouldn't you have to like, pay and go through some kind of process for to make it worth their whileer?”

Do they just have to send out 911 calls to a by that asked them for recording of it? We need, somebody in the court needs to wise us up on this.

Uh, that's it.

“How did Danny, my call until take my name off as fucking thing?”

Uh, but they got the recording of the 911 call and I'm, as I said, I don't know what the hierarchy is over there these days,

but I hope to fuck that this guy that's on the 911 call is not as second in command.

Even if I, if I was there and not out there, I don't know why. Somebody needs to tell me he left early or I, he left. He, if he was in the building, why was he not out there? Nobody said he was out there. We can't, there's no camera that was focused on the young man and the people helping him.

That we've seen yet, but at the same time, nobody has said that they've seen Al out there. If Al was not in the building at the time, who's number two?

“In this, in fucking, who's number two in control here, 86?”

99? Who's number two? What was number two doing? What's the, who's number three? Why did they leave this fucking guy to make the 911 call?

When he couldn't tell him what the fuck was happening, I've listened to this thing and they, they redact some things. I don't know whether it's names or profanity or possibly a mixture of combination of two, privacy and for broadcast.

But he ain't never called 911 in his life and he's never,

it doesn't sound like he's ever seen a fucking injury of this particular stripe. And I don't know who they had assisting him in the call.

“They say they have an EMT, was that somebody in the crowd or do they have an EMT on site?”

And if they had an EMT, why wouldn't he the one on the phone with a 911 people? And they also said he's, they've got a PT guy, which is physical therapy. And in the past, I've known. No, seriously. What's going to do for this, I mean?

Well, that's what I'm saying. In the past, I've known that they've had a number of physical therapy PT guys. We had one back 20 years ago that came to tape knees. Uh, do physical therapy of athletes, not he wasn't in any way, and I don't believe most of them have been in any way. The certified medically to treat an injury of this kind.

But to point, I'm, I've not heard anybody that ought to be,

I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy.

But I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy. But I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy. I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy.

I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy.

I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy, but I've never heard anybody that ought to be a physical therapy.

I'm going to ask you a bunch of questions if you don't know. This is really helpful. This is really helpful. This is really helpful. This doesn't know anything. It sounded like maybe, like somebody else took the phone for a second to say those unknowns, because they were coming through more clearly, then the first part of the call was, but obviously in a situation like that, obviously you're not fucking brain surgeon or a doctor or whatever.

But just say, we have a white male to mid-twenties took a blow to the head was knocked unconscious and is now seizing and posturing. It's happened 60 seconds ago, we were at 44 hundred shepherdsville road. That's the best thing you did was give the address. And so they can get the thing started because they're not waiting to dispatch once they have the address until, until they ask all these questions once they have the address, they're okay, go, but then they're asking the questions to relay it by the time the people get there.

“And he don't know shit from Apple butter about how to explain to them what is just gone on and besides that, how did this guy get appointed to be the guy to call 911?”

Who, how far down is he in the, with the guys in the bloke's in West Fabbersham at the top? Who to the best of our knowledge have never even appeared here in the flesh in this country?

Who on scene, what was the fucking packing order at that point and were they standing over this scene and it got keep going with the thing and then I'll tell you why I'm asking this. Not near him though, right? I'm about to see the way from the scene. Okay, okay, he's starting to move a little bit more, but it's still. Got a five, five, five of EMT in the ring.

“I have an EMT in the ring with him right now. You have an EMT? Why did you say that if he's not an EMT?”

Because somebody probably said, you know, it's like a fucking airplane. I'm a doctor. You know, there, they're getting volunteers from the crowd here.

I'm sorry, go ahead. Okay. Okay, and it's 44.

“Four, four, four, zero, seven, zero, right? Yes, you're not on so far away. Yeah, and you want to come to the front entrance?”

Okay. I've got a man standing up there the way he is right now. Okay, all right, so if you have the EMT and everything and there, do you want me to go out with you?

Come on here, second one. Hold on here. Because this is where first of all, he's so stunned about what he's saying and what's that he's

obviously concerned about this guy, right? But the lack of communication, he's told, oh, I've got an EMT. I got a physical therapist. Oh, he's just, oh, here's a brain surgeon. So no worries. He's starting to talk it down, right? Because he doesn't know what to say. And then also, she's having to pull teeth to get information that because of the location there, which believe me, I'm familiar with. It's in a warehouse complex, 4400 shepherdsville road is the address of the Davis arena, the building, which is behind the warehouse that's actually on shepherdsville road.

If you missed the little thing that says 4400, you don't see the Davis arena. You got to turn behind that, so he should have been saying, from the start, behind to court lighting. In a warehouse, 4400 shepherdsville road, we're going to put someone on the corner to be waving them in. He should be telling them this. This is the way you get an emergency vehicle to the goddamn Davis arena. I'm just, again, where the, who's it charge? I can't, but now he's talked her down the 911 lady to where it's kind of like, oh shit.

Like they're going to be feeding crackers and coax or something because he's had a spell.

“She didn't understand the severity of it, but good listen to the rest of this communication. I'll come back.”

That's up to you. I mean, I just have to thank the staff. Yes, sir. I can't, but don't let an eater drink and just want to rest in the most comfortable position. Okay, and I mean, if he's there, don't know. This becomes less like in violence with a lame on a side. And if anything changes, if this breathing changes or anything, you can get us a call back immediately or I mean, I can say and wait, it's up to you and it's up.

Okay, all right, you know, on this side, I already got a man that's the door to let him in.

Okay, all right, then they change. Give us a call back. Yes, man. Bye bye. Jesus Christ, that's like, you know, any changes? Give us call back. Did you hear anyone communicate the level of seizures that he had had or try to explain the head injury to begin with or give a clear concise path of how to get to fucking emergency vehicle to that location, which is in a industrial park and is not easily seen from Shepherd'sville road or any goddamn thing else or anybody on site.

Given any goddamn anybody else in the instruction, get a move back now.

“That's what pissed me off again at that ring of honor that night.”

In fucking who high pits of India when I get the only reason I wasn't one calling 911 is because delirious hunter Johnston was at gorilla. I'm pretty sure he was already either the one that had done it or the one that had instigated it because they got carino back. The curtain before he couldn't get up or breathe. And I was outside of the truck. But by the time I got back there, they'd already called in this out of the way place we were in for the fucking ambulance and we had people standing by in a parking lot.

Where's Gary Jester? Well he's already gone. Where's Joe Coffey? Where's Bradley's already gone? Where's Ross the merchandise? Whether already gone again for the multiple of time. Me or Hunter or both were left with an emergency. And so then you immediately because the nature there, this is probably a different situation with you know all the OVW talent mostly being well now this guy's from St. Louis so he was out of town, but once we had the ambulance on the way. And Carino's that okay, yes, if you've got an EMT on site, use him, but you know everybody wants to crowd around. I would tell guys if you're not his wife or a goddamn doctor giving some fucking air you're just getting in the way.

And who did he ride with or how did he get here has someone got his bag and his car keys for safekeeping did he ride with somebody who's going to follow him in the ambulance to the hospital. You, you know where you're going around here. Okay. Do you have gas? Do you need money? Who's going to be paying for this? Somebody get me some fucking cash from the box office to get to make sure that everybody's greased in case somebody's going to charge him something. And once that they get there to work on him and get him up on the thing getting out of there, you've still you've got to have somebody that goes to the hospital that sits with him that has his personal belongings that is.

If he's able to sit to tell who do you want us fucking tell this has happened. And make sure all and you don't just let the guy sit less he's up in the hospital enough say, oh, go home. So it's shit like that, but everybody's just, I don't know what fuck's going on. Once again, we wish to very best for Dallas Edwards. We have not heard an update on him since he said that he would possibly leave the hospital after his next test.

“I think I think he's home. Hopefully he's home is what I just saw and on some various part of the interweb, but.”

But that's the point is I just and I'm not again picking on OVW because well, we used to do it this way if again the same reason I've blistered. Is there goddamn name out there and knock knock knock stock pro wrestling that with the Roger Jackson knocks pro.

Being able to prevent it or jump in and know what to do in case we merge these to a bunch of amateur dipshits in every position running around don't know what the fuck and nobody's told him.

“And so I fail to believe it's a person that I heard on that 911 call despite the fact that his intentions may have been good sounded like the person in charge of OVW and that building at that point in time.”

If there was more important than people in him in the building at that time, I'd like to know who the fuck they were and why they weren't on a goddamn phone and or what they were doing if they weren't on the phone.

There was more important to be on the fucking phone.

Well, perhaps OVW can work on a joint venture with Knox Pro would be a hell of a merger there Jim on that topic because a ton of the listeners have sent it over and it's been a big topic of conversation.

“Did you see the out snow statement not the joke about the waffle house, but the actual statement he issued I think the next day.”

Yes, I guess I have I got kind of lost in a middle and zoned out until the end, but you couldn't read it for folks. This is from house knows Instagram, I'm not exactly sure what his role is with OVW he's in charge, but obviously he's had different roles different investors over the years. Hello everyone, this is Al Snow. I want to speak directly to our fans wherever they are. If you know any of our fans, please get them in touch. I want to speak directly to our fans and the wrestling community regarding the incident involving referee Dallas Edwards at last weeks event.

Professional wrestling has always carried an inherent risk of injury for everyone who steps into the ring. On March 12, during a live OVW television event, Dallas was involved in a planned moment of physical contact with a wrestler that resulted in him suffering a head injury. You notice that is an unwieldy way to speak, but it does plant the seed for the legal defense. Traditionally, when an in-ring injury occurs, the referee is the central point of communication, assessment and decision making. And this unprecedented situation, the person who would normally make the assessment was the one who needed assistance. That unforeseen breakdown in communication contributed to a delay in stopping the match and concluding the show.

You are relieved to hear that Dallas. Can I jump in one second? Yes, again, that is a statement that is correct and this is very unusual.

Very unprecedented is Al said that the referee would be the one to suffer the incident, but at the same time, if it came to it. Any litigation would center on should based on your opinion and belief. The observations that you were making should that have convinced a logical person, a reasonable person that this young man was in medical distress. The following guy that landed into those, these are questions that are going to be asked if it comes to it. When the guy that landed on him was over the top of him looking like you said, okay, buddy, okay, buddy, did he get an answer like, yeah, okay, and then he immediately passed out and went into seizures moments later or did the guy who didn't get a, yeah, okay answer get picked up by the other guy just start wrestling again.

Why did that guy is the other guy's picking him up? The guy that's getting picked up says Dallas is fucked up here and they would be aware.

“So they would immediately move to the other side of the ring, even if they weren't going to fucking stop, they would have moved away to examine something like do we have room to do this over here?”

We've knocked him out. They didn't know he's going to go into seizure, but there should have been some passing of that knowledge. And then when the other guy that comes in, again, the one guy was on the aprons watching the seizures.

Would you have known anything was wrong?

Go ahead. We'll back to the statement here.

“We are relieved to hear that Dallas is recovering and receiving the medical care he needs.”

Our thoughts are with him and we're hoping for his continued improvement.

At OVW, the health and safety of our performers and officials has always been our top priority after finding and fleecing investors.

No, I'm sorry. I added that. I'm sorry. That wasn't a part of the official statement. Don't, don't, don't. The blocs at West Fabersham are going to be upset. We are proud of the standards we've maintained over the years. But we also recognize that there is always room to strengthen and improve. With that in mind, we are reviewing our existing procedures and updating several of our in-ring and ring side protocols.

“Sure, we continue to meet the highest expectations for a performer's safety.”

These updates include enhanced communication systems, additional referee training.

Of all the things not to put in this, I wasn't doing it. Additional referee training and expanded ring side response measures to help ensure that a situation like this is identified and addressed as quickly as possible. The enhanced communication systems, 20 fucking years ago, we could talk to the referees from the back from the control room. Danny Davis could talk to Dean Hill at the desk. He couldn't talk to me because you know, with my ear and I can't wear the fucking ear things, but Dean would write me notes and give me a nudge, but he could talk to the desk.

And he could talk to the ring and he could talk to the handheld cameras. So that now 20 years later, they need better communication systems. He needed the old school communication system. Stop the march! Just someone yelling out to this problem, but let me finish the statement here. We appreciate the concern and passion for our fans, and we understand the importance of transparency during moments like this. We will continue to share updates when appropriate, and we ask everyone to keep dialess in your thoughts, as he continues his recovery.

Thank you. And it is signed. How snow is important to note that the top comment under this are one of them on his Instagram page, or someone saying, "Fun fact, if you put this apology into an AI detector, it says that it's 99% written by AI." Oh, no. So apparently it may be an AI issued statement from Al Snow. We said last time it's gimmick a B tone death, Al Snow. Maybe AI snow. Because it looks like Al. That could be his new gimmick.

“But, you know, another swing in a miss, I guess, is the best way to put it.”

Okay. And a lot of people are like, "Oh, so corny, what would you have done?" I'm trying to, because obviously what I would have done, if I was in charge, then I couldn't actually do because it required me to fire Danny Davis, which obviously was impossible for anyone to do that because he was God. But if I, as Al Snow, was in the building, and it's entirely possible, was in a goddamn conversation with some, and it's probably may have been what was going on with some fucking wrestler asking some stupid question.

Often the corner not watching the show, I can believe that. If he came out and said that, I would believe it, which he didn't hear, he has say thing here. But if he was telling a truth or be it honest, I was in a, in a quarter, talking to so and so, and the way that I heard about this incident was such and such. And I immediately went to the ring to see about him if I was in the building. That's what I would take from Al Snow. I'm, if, if I was not informed as soon as the referee went into seizures, if whoever was watching the monitor, because they were actually the director of the show, is who I'm talking about, which in my day would have been Danny Davis, and obviously is not that anymore.

And that would have been in the statement. I did things like that or what would have been, I would have explained how I heard about the incident and at what time, however many seconds or minutes after the fact, and what I did personally as the person in charge from that point forward is what I would have put in that fucking statement,

“because what else could you fucking say? What everybody's cussing, you on the internet is, you're the guy in charge of this, what kind of shop are you running?”

Well, and if I wasn't there, I wasn't even there.

I would have said for a reason that I will never do again, I left the building before my show was over, and with nobody and in clear, it's no clear second in command, nobody that I entrusted was, you know, knew how to run this fucking thing was still in the building. And these kind of things, or again, the person that I fucking trusted to run this goddamn thing was so and so, and I fired him. Because he didn't know why didn't he know, I'll chase the cat that ate the rat, why didn't you know, why did you know what to what the fuck were all of you goddamn doing?

She had like that, and you can't do that with AI.

“Well, that was the statement from Al Snow of OVW.”

May or may not have been written by AI. May or may not be the apology anyone expected or wanted or thought was useful, but if you don't mind, I'm going to give my two cents real quick. I think Al Snow, it was a really talented wrestler who didn't go as far as he could, and his run in 95 and smoking man wrestling is one of the more underrated runs anyone had because that's the end of it.

He was an amazing heel and then that went away.

He had different characters at different points, but he was phenomenal in 95, I got to see him alive, phenomenal. And even then people talked about him as a trainer, and he trained me, we trained the Bloomingi before that.

“And I think Al Snow is maybe the guy for you, if you want to learn how to take a hip toss or a flat back bump.”

But other than the fact that he speaks authoritatively, and he has a stronger voice, it's not like a little voice or anything.

I've never heard him say anything that made me think he had a brain in his head.

And I just want to say that here because, you know, just like I rant about various indie promotions and training schools and the mentality and the people behind them, I think that's the case here too, and, you know, I think OVW in a lot of ways, since the people who made OVW haven't been there, Al Snow is kind of defined OVW, but maybe that's not a good thing. West Faber Jam or the mayor or investors aside, this company is going to be considered a joke unless there's radical changes, and it starts with Al Snow.

And everyone knows it, and everyone's mad at him, and he puts out stupid statements, and there's more that could be said, why pro wrestling T's wouldn't do business, and he had to start collar and elbow because of things he said in the past, the Kolkabam. I mean, just, there's a lot that could be said about Al Snow's behavior and conduct and comments in the past, but he whipped here. He had a chance to be a stand-up guy and be the boss here. You've talked about how you would have handled it, not everyone's you, but God damn most people would have handled this better than Al Snow.

And that's my two cents. I hope you don't mind me adding that here. Well, no, I don't end it again. It's not like, well, just because that wasn't how I would have handled it. There is supposed to be someone that can handle it. If it any given moment it occurs, if you're going to put your name on something, which is why again, I have been offended in the past with the Ring of Honor situation when they all, you know, would leave the wrestling folks to be, oh, they could take care of themselves and had to fucking give the Ring crew money to get home or whatever, but much less physical injuries.

Charitably put not a fucking astronomer. He was not a goddamn surgeon.

“He was not a Rhodes scholar, but he could tell when somebody got potato to was somebody was having a seizure and how to fucking run a wrestling show and keep everybody from goddamn going to jail or the hospital.”

I mean, but there needs to be somebody, especially on a television, and we chair to play sake television. And they're on your TV here at Louisville. If you, it's so is see span, but also the streaming thing or whatever. Yes, everybody, a lot of people are streaming in the wind these days have noticed.

But if you're going to present it, it's being recorded and it's for posterity for the rest of your life.

Then there has to be somebody in charge so that what would they do one day if all the wrestlers just say, you know what, we're tired of this. We're just all going to get up to the ring and just take our dicks out and just piss on everybody.

“We're in that who's in charge for fuck sake that can say to any or everybody, you stop fuck off.”

That that and that should be a fucking comment for any line of endeavor these days, who are you leaving there that can say you stop fuck off to anybody else.

There's a responsibility. It's a mavens.

Well, once again, we'll stay on top of this story, but I'll try that now. You stop fuck off and who I'm talking to, of course, is ow snow. Maybe you need a new line of work.

“Maybe you need to start a new business. Get away from wrestling already. You're 60 something years old. You're on the gas.”

Nothing's going to change. This is the best that's going to get do something else. I'm going to start a new business. You need the right partners to start that business. And, of course, ladies and gentlemen out there, Mr. and Mrs. America with your proud businesses. You need a partner like we do to make sure your product gets out there into the world and we know someone who can help them, Jim. Well, you've you've tensed up your tenses. You need a partner. Ladies, gentlemen, like we have our friends at Shopify.

That's it. There you go. That's who I'm talking about. Because we have them already. Of course, they've been powering our official t-shirts on the show. You can look at the links and the YouTube channels, the clips and et cetera on how to get our official t-shirts for the show. And you will see right next to that. You'll see that purple shop pay button that indicates the the sound advice of Shopify. The steady hand at the wheel that is taking over the commerce of the world. Sooner or later, folks, you're going to have to deal with them. We can do this the easy way. And you'll hear bells like that. Or we can do it the hard way and you'll be seeing stars because don't get over the head with commerce.

Why look at it like a twinkling light in the sky that can take you to paradise instead of putting up a parking lot. Because all that Shopify needs to do is get behind you like they have millions of businesses around the world. 10% of all the e-commerce in the whole dead gum United States and they can help you to your own design studio helping you present your products and here he's here is your products that you presented and then you can present more and pretty soon. You'll prevent other people from presenting their products because you'll be presenting yours that are more productive.

Get the word out like you've got a marketing team behind you. Create the email and social media campaigns. You'll have parade floats. You'll have marching bands with banners down the middle of small to medium sized towns in the southeast. Mainly golf board Alabama, Aniston, and then also a heavy presence in to Pete can. If you're into a house or anywhere else of course Shopify is there for you Shopify helps us when our shirts as Jim said before and they can help you with your business. The better where you are even to peak again.

So Rachel Kansas, if you're a part of the Rachel Paranormal Society, but folks, if you could stuck shots, they can they can they can they can they can vibrate.

I'm not sure you're going to be smart to figure out what their answer is, but they'll tell you. But you can tackle all the important tasks in one place, no need to save multiple websites or try to find different platforms. They've got you.

And right now, all you got to do is go to Shopify, where is that kid?

Come slash JCE for a $1 a month, trial period. Right now today, your clock is ticking. You got a month left. Hey, you better make use of it because after a month, no, but for a month you can get away with only one, well, I'm just saying you're not going to be able to pull this fucking. Do you know how much this service is worth the value that shop is giving for one dollar tremendous value. That's a great point. Well, see you're not going to be able to get away with this horseshit for more than a month now, but for one month, they can show you how great they are for only one dollar.

“If you use the code JCE at Shopify.com, and that's, that's what you need to do because then instead of moaning and despairing because times are hard, you can be farting through silk and shitting and tall cotton.”

And just watch that intestinal virus that causes these things to happen, but you'll be able to afford it Shopify dot com slash JCE.

That's right, Jim Shopify, they support us and they could support you Shopify dot com slash JCE, but Jim, we shall return momentarily with more sex and violence right after this short commercial time out. We are here and we are about to begin the big review AEW Revolution in Los Angeles. What's become one of their big events. This one. It was a long night of wrestling and I watched all of it and here to share his thoughts, Mr. Jim Cornett.

Why, why did you do it in the pre show to I forgot about the pre show. What happened on the pre show?

I forgot, but the time that I've suffered through this. God damn many series. I forgot about the pre show. You had big boom AJ and QT Marshall versus Shane Taylor promotions, I think.

“And you have to see, I think they do the flea markets here in Louis Shane Taylor promotion.”

Well, Shane Taylor, I, you know, he pushed the risler, which caused big justice. This is big brother. I give him a spear on the floor. His regular spear that he seems to do and all these pre shows that match made the room happy. They did an angle with Wayne Brady, the host of let's make a deal. I guess he wasn't. I guess he wasn't invited to the Oscars. So he had ringside seats for a W on this night and then they began the battle royale. Now you did see the battle royale, Ellie, some of it. Well, yeah, that's the thing is again, this is one of their big paper views and they could.

Take this opportunity to look like they know what they're doing as a company that produces big shows and major broadcast events of the various kinds, whether it's streaming or paper view or television or whatever. But instead, boom, it comes up and they're in the middle of the goddamn finish of the battle royale that they started on the pre show. We guys just in the ring fucking fighting. And it's just you're like, what what's happening and God damn who was I want to say was L clown one of the three that got eliminated, so they came on the air was that who that was.

“And it may have been I don't remember the timing of the elimination.”

It was a heck of a match. I was hoping you watched it, so you could explain it to me because I watched it, but a lot of it on mute because it was technically pre show and I still have things to do.

Are they standing at ringside, they've been eliminated, neither bumper jacks and then I rose, they just jump back in there in the match.

But then they get thrown to the floor and you think they're eliminated, just jump back in the ring. I had no idea what was going on.

“I thought, well, it was, and however that they do the battle royals, it was supposed to be a 20 man battle royale for one of their belts, right?”

That, uh, Ricochet had whatever belt that was he had. And but again, the pre show, why would I watch the pre show? When the main show is going to be almost five hours long. If it was any fucking good, it would be on the main show and even then, as we will see, that's not exactly a goddamn guarantee. So we crash into the eliminate the other fucking guy and there's jungle jack and fucking ricochet.

So we jumped into the show with two children going 100 miles an hour.

And jungle jack off one, whatever the belt was that Ricochet had in a national title. National title. And that was what happened there. I mean, that's the way they started the show. You know, and by the end of the show, by the way, if their goal was, oh, we'll make people watch the pre show next time.

Well, then they shouldn't have made this show go another four hours and forty-fucking minutes. You were, you were saying, you know, on the topic of Ricochet is a playing going over my head right now. On the topic of Ricochet, Jim, did you see his latest activity on social media? We've talked about some of the stuff he does in the past. Seemingly some of it because he's in gimmick, seemingly some of it because he may or may not be fined skin.

But did you see the most recent comics? It's got a lot of people talking. Well, it no because he jabbers on quite a bit.

“And I think that's what turned the people.”

Remember when the fans first saw him in AEW?

Oh, this got changed the game in blah, blah, blah. And then he was another one of those guys that not only did he not changed the game. And he was booked, Laozi anyway, but his person, his real personality came across. And so now most people don't like him and anything he says on social media. He may think he's a heal, but they actually just really don't like him.

But go ahead with the latest. Well, I guess he W after the battle royal put up a video on social media of Ricochet doing a promo backstage. I didn't see it where he was angry about losing his title in this battle role. It is kind of a ridiculous thing. You put the champion in the battle role. Yes, the win the battle role to keep his belt.

Well, it's all ridiculous. Yes, we can all agree there. So apparently some video went up and a user on Twitter named Sandy T. tweeted out his acting hasn't improved. Now Sandy T's bio reads, "Love my Winnipeg blue bombers trying not to let my MS control my life." Of course, MS being multiple sclerosis, Jim.

Okay. She also had laughing face emojis. Ricochet responded with, "I'm glad you got MS." To which she responded, "Well, if that makes you happy, have a great life dot dot dot dot."

“Does that really be too much she can respond to that?”

Is that crossing a line? That's the question I guess people are asking. Yes, obviously. Look here, even I'm the king of blocking people on Twitter or occasionally fucking just fire it off on somebody if they particularly ticked me off. But number one, if I spent my life doing it like this fucking clown does, I would be occupied.

I wouldn't have any other time. But if it's, I don't even block people nor do I ever even consider responding to them or making a comeback on them or whatever. If you see that they've got some kind of difficulty, whether it be physical or mental. Or, you know, especially to say, "I'm glad you don't even say, "Well, you know, fuck you do." You know, and not even make it related to their difficulty.

You just leave them the fuck alone because they got difficulties.

So he's going through and examining who the people are that are making fairly innocuous comments about him.

He must have a whole file on us, Brian. If he's investigating the background of somebody, he said, "Well, he's a pretty shitty actor." What the fuck could be a matter with this guy? We've been on the record saying he's a complete and total fucking moron on several occasions.

“And that's what we've heard from other people who know him.”

He responded to the criticism that was all over the place on Twitter after that comment. All sorts of fans say that's a step too far. A lot of fans talking about people in their lives who have had MS. Ricochet's response to that reaction. It's so hilarious that the amount of little bitches who has tweeted and wished harm on me,

who has wished even death and said some of the most vile things to me and my wife,

people who try and make fun of me every day.

That's in caps. But those same little bitches can't take it when I do it back. What the fuck would you mock them for their multiple sclerosis? Those little bitches just can't take it? Actually, here's a good response.

Here's a good response. This is from the user, OK, OK, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1. You've got a hot wife. You're a famous professional wrestler who's known worldwide. And yet you're so insecure.

Being a heal is one thing. But bringing up someone's debilitating illness because they criticize your acting is next level pathetic. And I agree. Well, that pretty much says it.

“And I do, does he think that he is being a heal or is he just an idiot and doesn't know the difference or what?”

What do you think his motivation is? I would legitimately think it both. I think he thinks he's being a character heal when letting his real emotions dictate what he tweets out. And I also think he's not exactly a genius. Hey. Well, yeah.

Why don't Tony make him contribute to the MS Foundation or something as an apology for being an idiot? Like he does some of these other guys. Why don't you make it as gimmick instead of pretending he's like whatever he is a king with a stable. Make him the tweeter. And he just comes to ring with his phone and says hideous things and then the wrestler who's saying him, that comes on kicks his ass.

There you go. Booked it for you. What a putz. What a putz. Well, speaking of puts is, let's get into the putz purview because the count was high this week.

Revolution, the essay, you want a revolution? No, we didn't. But we had to watch anyway. Did you like the video of the Bucaroo's kids telling people how great they are? And Daddy's going to beat FTR. Yeah. No comment. I mean, you know, I don't want to say anything bad about the little kids. The dad and the older brother.

Yeah, you know, kind of want to see. Well, I don't think it will show that would have been nice. Yeah. Right. I don't think the kids didn't come up with the idea. We're going to put ourselves on television, talking good about Daddy. But it was different.

But it's like, you know, I think it's like steamboat in a way. You just don't want to see that.

“I mean, I guess that's what their whole thing is about like, you know, we're about family.”

We probably explain why they're not over unless they're just flipping non-stop and, you know, ignoring the fucking rules of wrestling. But I don't know. It was, it was a bit much for me, I thought. A little sappy for the people that you don't genuinely like. And the other thing too, no matter whose kids there are. To be on a, w is not a kids wrestling show.

Whenever I've, like, wanted to embrace my kids being interested, my younger kids. And like, what's Daddy watching? I've learned I can't do that with AEW. Even WWE every now and then, like, the word bitch or something like, oh, well, you shouldn't have heard that. That's a bad word.

But with AEW, again, they wouldn't have been awake for the main event. But there's enough on that show. It's not a kid's wrestling show. It's not a promotion for kids. And I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's just a reality.

It's, it's a promotion by a kid.

Alrighty, but the first match featured the kids.

The world tag team title, the hardly boys at FTR and the match that they've been waiting for.

The best match that you're going to get out of Matt Nick Jackson is with FTR.

“Because at least there's somebody doing some fucking wrestling in the middle of all of this childish activity that they do.”

The same shit they do all the time. They've been doing for years. Having said that, that's not taken up for FTR because no heel team with the world tag team title has ever been dead or. And less interesting because they've been booked into oblivion. And they just now and they've got a gimmick manager and the whole thing just is black.

But this is what they went back to because it's the hardly boys hometown. So they wanted to have some fun.

“And in the first three minutes, they'd given a spike piled driver to Matt on the apron and got color on a little Nicky.”

And I was like, no wonder they wanted to go first before the crowd was spoiled so they could spoil him.

Because the time the show is over, you've seen it. You've seen more blood if you worked at a trauma unit. And Dax got posted and he bled. And again, there's, there's more wrestling when it's the bucks against FTR than the other teenage gymnasts. But everything that the bucks do is so hard to swallow.

And then they did a good spot that the people got up for that Matt got a pip talk from his kid on a front row and a Dax toned the family and of.

“Fat bald brother through a beard his face to people came up and cash tried to dive and he hit Dax by mistake and a people came up.”

And then the match continued and the crowd settled back down and they would have at 10 more minutes and.

Then it there was a point where both of the buckaroos super super super flexed FTR over the top out off on on the apron on to the floor and almost killed all four of them. What do you think of that spot? Much because I mean, on one side, they got it right, which indicated that poor cash took a heck of a fucking bump. Yeah, but on the other side, they got it wrong, which meant poor Dax almost got dropped on his fucking head. 50 super kicks stokely got up out of the wheelchair to to foil the buckaroos is finished and set back down and got neither was no real.

There's no pop that he got up. I don't even think the camera was only what it happened. The announcers had to fucking say something about it and he set back down and they did. So that was wasted. Well, it because then when he folled the buckaroos finished, then FTR hit the shatter machine and only got a two count. So not only did the stokely just get up and.

Sit back down and nobody gave a shit, but it wasn't the finish. And then FTR got a three count on Nick, but Nick got his foot on the roof. But Jesus Christ, you could have got a three count where you got to have manager and had a second referee come out to stew it. Do something. And then FTR super kicked. Nicky about eight times and a double knee lift and he kicked out at one and hooked up and made it come back on him. This little fucking.

Middle aged can you imagine what a 40 year old shrimp must smell like Brian. Do you think he saw so many years of his brother acting like reward your animal. Then he said it's my turn now to be impervious to pain. What I just because they're in their hometown actually were the big town next to their hometown. So. They're impossible to but nevertheless.

They dove on stokely in a chair. And then they just all quit tag in and just were doing whatever the fuck while the corpse referee stood at him stared at him. And a baby faces to on one the heels for a while at a suddenly they gave Matt another spike piled driver and then hit the shatter machine on Nick.

It was like after I waited for it all that time, it came as a surprise.

“But 20 minutes and a trend will develop on that timing, but.”

Was anybody screaming for this. You know what with the caveat that I know how bucks matches are. I know who the referee will be. I know how the rules will not be enforced. It's not a tag team match at all. It's a tornado match. So it's a buck style tornado match every match.

Yes, I enjoyed this. I was surprised I did maybe it's because it was the first thing on the show after that battle royale, really.

And I watched a pre show, but I felt like it was the first thing on the show. I thought it was the best FTR match and the most enjoyable one in a long time. And I could say obviously the same thing for the bucks. Did they do too much go too far kick out of too much. Absolutely. And unfortunately, that's a pandemic in a W specifically, but it goes to other places, but on this show alone, it was a problem kicking out at one.

“We could talk about that later on when it happens the next time, whether you should have multiple people kicking out at one on the same show.”

Whether or not it gets a pop because Dave Meltzer defended it by saying, well, it got the biggest pop every time it happened. So I wouldn't you.

You know what if I sat down and made a list of all the things they do and the course of a show that doesn't get a pop.

Then I could remember back to telling you when they used to get a pop before everybody did them all the fucking time. But again, knowing knowing what it is, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I would say it may be my favorite match to two teams have had. I think Stokele is a bit ridiculous, but we've been saying that forever. It's a joke man. Yeah, it doesn't help FTR. It didn't help FTR to have a dry, totally blancher who did nothing and it doesn't help them to have a comedy figure who no one's laughing at.

Boy, that they did go from one extreme to the other, didn't they? Yeah, which is the period in between where they got over. Yeah. Imagine that. So they got over. We got to do some of that. Let's give them a manager. A pleasant surprise booking wise that FTR didn't drop the belts here because it seemed like it seemed like it was all but obvious,

especially when you started watching this and the buck's families all over the place. I thought it was going to see social worker wail and mercy getting a ring for a celebration after the match. But then we actually, you know, that's now we know the reason why they would look like idiots. Well, let me rephrase that. It would have been worse with what they've done if they didn't put FTR over because then as soon as the match is over with the blah blah blah.

The lights go out. And the music stars playing and it's edge, and edge comes down to the trumpet return to the ring and he stops on a floor than Christian cages music plays. But cage comes from the rear while the guys aren't looking and sprayed mace and dax his face or percash his face or pepper spray wherever it was. And level dax and then cage gave stokely his finish. So that's given away for free. And then they Christian and age grabbed the title belts and had a face off with the buck aruse and everybody stared at each other.

But then Asian Christian put the belts down and then the bucks didn't nothing and then FTR left. So. Again, it not only did they give away for nothing and there's no. Return on it's totally getting out of the chair after all this time. The baby faces just make their return. They've already laid out the manager with the fucking finish.

So that's given away for free.

“What did that's what they're supposed to have fucking work for.”

This is the first time we've seen them since they walked off the show because that Phoenix got hurt.

Now I'm copling couldn't deal with it. And he had to leave and then Christian cage left too. Like you said, they can solidarity. They laid everyone out. Everyone they had a problem with they laid out right away. Yes. So I'm glad they were able to come back and get even. But now where we're fucked, we go for bed also.

To be quite honest, it's been six months. I know they thought it was a great thing. Oh, my gosh, we'll have a big hot angle where the heels get to Beth.

You can injure a guy.

So he go make a movie. But when you beat up his wife and he takes six months to come back and do something about it.

Yeah, I don't care anymore. So there's that. And also Christian cage returns still dressing like he's hosting a show on PBS in the 70s. This was the chance to break away from that, but I guess not. Well, that would have meant by new clothes.

“Oh, right. We were 40 minutes into the show at this point. Did you keep a running time on this, Brian?”

I don't remember if it was here or another point shortly after this where I realized, oh, this is going to go really long tonight.

And if the main event goes long, this is going to go really, really long.

And it did. I was really tired backstage. Monday was really miserable for me. I was dead tired all day. Well, and imagine if you were actually a normal person had to go to work. They say, then where would you be? So then speaking of normal people had had to go to work, Marita Schaefer, Russell Tony Storm. And if you think in the middle of this,

Fugget Barathon, I watched this match you're out of your mind. But the match didn't make any news the aftermath is what made the news.

And finally, Tony Storm won.

And then she went to the stage and laid down and rolled around on the floor like a. A possibly a carp or maybe a large mouth bass that had been beached and was trying to gasp for air with its last. Dregs of energy before it passed into the great beyond to the great fish heaven in the sky. But she didn't have any fans, so I didn't complete the image. And then suddenly they get they cut back to the ring, Ronda Rousey has gotten in the ring.

With no, just all that look who's in the ring. And she's called a Tony Storm back to the ring and they have a face off and. Instantly 20 security members and referees and all sorts of officials are there immediately again on a show where we see. Minutes go by while people are being disemboweled with rusty fishing knives. Oh shit.

We didn't know Ronda Rousey was going to be here and my god Tony Storms at her face. So 20 guys thankfully you're right here. Let's go. And then at some point Marina came up behind Tony Storm and knocked her out. And then they left Rousey didn't say thing. We'd eat oh, one would assume this probably won't be her only appearance, but she's promoting this big.

Fight with Gina correct. Gina Corona. Here coming up so point being we know Marina Schaffer and Ronda Rousey are old friends. They were training partners, etc.

“Was this to make some news, Brian, to amp up or fight? Was this to do a friend to favor?”

Do you think she'll actually come back and. Then want to wrestle again after her big fight does the fans know that she hates this now and hates them for real. So this is the smartest. Fan base and I don't use that in terms of intelligence quotient points, but rather inside information. So are they going to as she going to be the ultimate heel for this company because they know she really doesn't want to do this and hates them or will they rebel.

Because she don't want to really do this and and she hates them. You have several questions there. That's going to be interesting. The fan reactions a lot of fans genuinely hate her now for a variety of reasons. Remember she didn't interview a few months back kind of raving about how Marina was doing in a W. Sean moxley taking her under his wing.

She's been paying attention and she's been happy with the way her friend has been used.

“I think there's something to be done at Ronda Rousey if she wanted to do business.”

I just hated it would be with Tony Storm. I hate the Tony Storm character at this point. I hate the ridiculousness of it, but you said the post match her I guess because they're in Hollywood.

And then Ronda Rousey came on and got exciting.

“I'm not excited about the idea of Ronda having to do stuff with the character timeless Tony Storm.”

And Nina Cherakawa, that doesn't do it for me. I would imagine this isn't just to promote the fights it barely promoted the fight. I don't know. I don't know what to think of this. Well, I mean, see, again, because it's a W and things can happen just because Tony is like Billy Mooney and it's a good life, the Twilight Zone episode. Tony can just will people into the cornfield or if he wants something he can just make it so.

If Ronda Rousey was in Los Angeles, maybe for an Oscar party.

Her friend Marina's there, hey, they it could have been that simple.

Hey, let's do something because she didn't do anything. She's not going to do anything physical for free for paid for anything for anybody until this. Fight comes off. But then the question is how much they sweet talk to her about. Oh, Tony, Con, he'll give you. X, anything.

Hundred million. Whatever you want. Yeah, anything. Yeah. When we can play, you can play with your old friend. And who knows if it's with Tony Storm or just if she might be with Marina who knows.

But again, nothing's going to happen till after this fight. What is the date on that? That cat fight they're having that roll around scratch and hair pulling cat fight. These old ladies are having. You have any idea. I can't remember.

The date is May 16th. Okay, so. Oh, though, nothing's going to happen until dead of Ron to doing any physicality. But after that, it's how much she might want to hang out with Marina and take Tony's money. But that's that's the thing is she's already said. I hated bugger wrestling.

And and and he's fans or whatever she said about all of them, but she did like playing with her friends, which is the company model here. And the last appearance she did was it ring upon her to get to play with her friend. I want to see Ron the versus feeball. Oh, I do too to break him in 15 fucking pieces.

“Do you have an issue with Tony like on being bullied?”

Do you have an issue with Tony Convrigan and Ronda? Is she someone like for all the negatives you pointed out? Is that too much of a hurdle with this fan base? Well, I don't know, again, we don't know the circumstances around this or if any money has even changed hands or passed what appearance fee if that or what's going on. Again, Ronda Rousey is a name.

People know she's a star. She can get eyeballs on the product. And she doesn't have to there's a lot of people that don't like their job and still can do it well because they're getting paid. And that's kind of probably why she bailed on the WWE because they were kind of insisting probably she do it well. She would give her something that's a thing. I'm not against the theme concept of using Ronda Rousey and paying her for her notoriety. If you could motivate her enough to hold her nose and do it right.

But I don't think that Tony knows what he's doing or can motivate her doing things she doesn't want to do anyway. She'll be booked like everybody else, which is crummy. And she's not going to really particularly stick with it long term. So I would probably plan things that would help.

My long term talent by association with her where as Tony will probably make her look like a million dollars and then she'll get tired of it.

And I'm like the ultimate anti TKO opponent, right. She's fighting for a company that isn't UFC. She's had a I believe a falling out UFC and now she's going to the competition the WWE if she doesn't even hear.

“I wonder she said if we just get her to add that's what I was saying.”

From outlaw bullwriters. Apparently although she hasn't been there in a while, I think I saw Brian Alver as reported that people in WWE that he spoke to were shocked some of them to see her show up in AEW.

Around the Razi still is a name and she's about to get attention for the next few months.

And I think that they were probably shocked because the shocking part is that she hates a fucking business and don't want to be in it. Is there a thing like well, but you know, she also loves money.

“And the only thing she's done related to wrestling since she left there was the one thing she did ring of honor so she could be with Marina.”

So this is, you know, yeah. All right, let's see how long until Shayna Basler shows up. Jim, if I ask you an advance to make a pick, do you think that Ronda Razi will be showing up at AEW Revolution? Would you have picked yes or no?

I would have never picked that never, never brought in a made years. I would have picked no because I would have said, well, that will never happen. And that's where I would have made any money.

But if you folks want to make some money and win prizes, just be just be honored with all kinds of prizes and gifts and present toes and things that are. Beneficient to you, then you got to go along with our friends at prize picks because here's the playoff push is eating up Brian tournament hoops are here. And there's no better way to cash in on the high flying hoops action.

“Then prize picks where it feels good to be right because with every bucket.”

Every dime and every win. So apparently you're going to have to go out and collect your dimes at a bucket and then pick right and then boom, you're going to be rich. That's not the every bucket every dime and every win means more when you're playing on prize picks. So just go out there and what you do is you collect enough dimes to come up with five dollars. And you can collect them in your bucket or a hat, a hat or work. Possibly some type of sack from dollar store or whatever. The team type of bag like apparatus. So you don't have to be a bucket. And you collect big people for dimes is what you do. And once that you have, but they're only allowed to give you one dime each.

“That wasn't my issue. That didn't have to be a bucket.”

But once you've begged 50 people to give you each ten cents, that's one thin dime ladies gentlemen, and you've got five dollars, then you play it on prize picks. And you get fifty dollars instantly in line ups right away from prize picks right on top of that. Use your own money, which you have gained through legal means. That is your money that you don't have to beg people for use your money. How you. I instantly the panhandling is legal unless your near a scientist is no panhandling. What do you a mind reader? Why don't we focus on the people who don't need the panhandle today. The people who have disposable income and are looking for prizes for their picks.

Well, if you don't dispose of your income into right place, you may not need to panhandle today, but you'll need to panhandle tomorrow. So get a handle on your finances. And you play five dollars on prize picks and you pick on player step projections. Who am I to tell you people who know all about these professional sports and the people in them and the things they do and that they're likely to do and likely not to do. Who am I to advise you on these things when you are experts? You out there in the public sporting land are experts and no exactly what to do. So you just make your picks.

And if you've said you're an expert, you're going to win and then prize picks is going to give you a bunch of money. That's the way it works.

Again, hello, the prize picks app today. Yes, do that. Yes, and use the code JCE to get $50 in line ups after you play your first $5 line up right Brian.

Do that as well. And then if you're right all the time, which if you're so fucking smart and smarty pants, smarty Mcsmartington, as you say you are just I know everybody says, well, my wife's right all the time, well, put your life on his case. And then you'll win all the time and you'll all be rich, and prize picks will be out of business because they'll have been bankrupted by your goddamn expertise there smarty Mcsmartington. Once again. A great deal for the listeners one more time Jim, what can the listeners do to get prize pay you get rich, they can get rich or die try and and download the prize picks app today and use the code JCE to get $50 in line ups after you play your first $5 line up.

And every time you pick right you'll make money and sooner or later, the FBI will investigate you.

Okay, no, they won't. I don't think that's the fuck. Because he got all this money. Let's hear the music Jim that connotates that the last part should be omitted from the record. But ladies and gentlemen one more time, prize picks promo code JCE and Jim back to a W Revolution.

Well, there it was the next match was for some kind of belt. I can't take any of this seriously anymore or keep track of it, but it was another belt. Not the belt they won in the battle royal earlier, but it's the other belt. That moxley's had lately. What is that belt? That's the continental.

There you go.

Well, he's in a match against our our good friend and budding superstar taggers yet.

With no time limit for the continental belt. So I saw moxley's entrance and then I said, okay, this is a no time limit match.

“That means that I can easily go ahead 20 minutes and still see what they're going to end up doing, right?”

So I fast forwarded 20 minutes. And when I hit play, guess what they were doing, Brian? What? Trading for arms. And take was bleeding and I fast forwarded another five minutes.

And they were still going. And they kicked out of everything. And then it moxley gave.

Take a double arm DDT off the second rope.

And that was a two count. And then they laid motionless for quite a while while moxley was trying to fight to get the choke. And then he got the choke. And then take passed out. Of all the things that they again, they take these giant bumps.

“Flinging themselves through shit, off shit, hitting each other with every kind of.”

Daredevil maneuver and high impact. Slam suplex throw pitch flip and whatever the fuck. And then they all have to lay in the middle of the ring motionless for. A minute. And then then the.

The finish is. And I know in moxley's head because he thinks he's again a member of the Gracie family. And he's the greatest. Practitioner of you, jitsu. His jitsu teacher jipsu'd him out of his tuition.

But it's just fucking ridiculous that they all now. Yes, in the past you would all Mr. Wrestling uses the sleeper hold. Or buddy Rogers a Rick Flair who a Greg Valentine who ever used the figure for. But god damn now everybody just gets in the middle of the ring and does nothing for a minute and somebody passes out. The fuck.

You don't even need video for moxley. You can take a picture. Because it's not moving worth a thousand words. So. So anyway, then all go ahead.

What before we go with what happened after that. What was your comment on this contest. You want to say if there was a night to give to cash at a win. Because it seemed like they were kind of building towards it.

“I think this is the night and I think the fans wanted it.”

And I think the fans were disappointed. They didn't get it despite moxley being a baby face now. And. Not with standing the angle they're about to do. They're a parents they're about to do.

And I guess you need a title in that mix to make it worth it. I don't know. I don't know. To cash to it was kind of do. And I think the fans were ready for it.

And I personally think it was a mis from a W not doing it. Well, and even if they do that the whatever is going to pass for a turn this week. Where the rest of the callous family led by Don himself says, Ah, you're flucking your flucking flucking flailed is what you did. You're foolking failed.

And so we're kicking you out of the group. But they're going to beat shit. Whatever they do if they even do it this week. Or maybe they'll forget the whole thing.

And it didn't need to just I'll just I'll just choke him out.

Get a quick one somehow, right? Because then all the moxley studious come out to the ring. Wheeler and Claudia, whoever the fuck. And moxley and and take stare at each other and moxley offers his hand. So he's clearly a baby face.

And take shit looks at like I'm going to leave. And then he turns back and shakes his hand. And then he leaves the ring goes the back. Okay. So moxley and his group are mad at the callous family.

And they're having this rivalry.

But take one to do it on his own.

“And that's what callous is going to be upset about.”

And then the fucking lights go out. And then there's a video of a day. Brian, would you let the doctor in this video work on you? Was he a creepy looking son of a bitch? This video seemed really unnecessary.

Weird music and the x-rays. It wasn't like, oh, we're making this look more legitimate. And more like an athlete recovering from an injury and sports.

But more like a horror movie type of thing.

And there in their fantasies, they're all in. The only person really living a horror movie is Tony Kahn's account. But nevertheless, the doctor, the x-rays, the weird music. Then Aspree is working out. It doesn't appear he's getting any kind of medical treatment you would want.

And then they play Aspree's music and he comes out. And Aspree beats up, Moxley and all of his guys. And Moxley runs away from him like he's seen a ghost. So, I can't remember to be quite honest with you because I'm confusing when which one of their guys had to go for which type of surgery that was injured by who when.

There's been Kenny, there's been Swerve, there's been fucking Aspree. But I guess Aspree was put out six months ago or whatever it was by Moxley or his group, right?

“That's why he ran back out and beat him up.”

Do you remember? No, actually. I don't remember what caused Aspree's injury, either in K-Fable or real life. No, well, the point is, even if that was the case, Moxley's a baby face now. So even if you instead of surprising everybody, oh, it's well, I was free.

Because they want to scream at you. You can't have Aspree say in leading up to this, sending in messages. Well, I don't care what people think about John Moxley now, whether he's changed or what he's done. I know what he did to me. But what you just do is you just, this is like if, if Funk had put Flair out in a summer of 89

and they built up to the biggest house they would do all year with the Great American Bash. If in between Funk, Hurton, Flair and Flair come back to getting a ring with Funk if they turn Funk baby face.

“If you were going to do this with Aspree, why did you either turn Moxley baby face or allow him to turn himself baby face?”

And since they have become baby faces, why would you then establish this guy as a baby face by beating one of your top guys? And shake it his hand. And then this guy comes out and kicks the shit out of him and he runs away. What sense does any of this make? Again, three matches on the show and three returns or surprises, right?

Christian and Copeland at four. Technically, they can't run the Christian and Copeland in the tag match, Rhonda, again, that a women's match and now will Osprey. Confronting baby face Moxley, who's wrestling to Kesta, who's technically a heel season the callous family, but has become like the sympathetic mute baby face in that group. And he wants to do things the right way.

Right. Yeah. It's been months ago. He's been wanting to do things the right way. He had a problem with O'Connor that ended in no one turned.

When I went out for God, yeah, when they were supposed to be like this big rivalry, where they was going to blow this whole group apart with O'Connor and take a shit. Finally. What? That's one of those things, too, with a modern booking.

It's so brilliant.

“Throwing back their calling back to all these things that happened.”

No, it's not brilliant. It took too long. And how many things say them you asked for a man to guess when we cared. And again, with a W on this show, the returns.

The Christian and Copeland thing was to finish the feud that started almost a year ago that never went anywhere.

It's the everyone left TV. Ronda Razi who knows. And they will law spray. If he's coming back for revenge, it's the finish something that started a year ago on this show. So, I don't know.

And again, of all the people I want to see Osprey work with. It's not moxley. Oh, my god. Isn't that John moxley? I don't think he always broke his neck here.

That he came back from next surgery. The first thing he did, don't think he almost hit his head. He'd have off the top profile if it landed on everybody. But that's another thing is with the one thing that everybody can agree on in AEW is that Osprey is probably the guy that gets the biggest cheers and. And fucking none, adulation.

So why wouldn't you want him to come back against a guy that's hated and reviled.

So that you get the most out of the emotion.

You're an hour and a half into the paper view, Brian. That's right. But it's still more action. Still more action. Oh, boy, is there more.

So it was Megan brain. And now is teeming with Lena Cross because Penelope got hurt. I guess. And they were facing Willow and Harley and the tag team title for the women was on the line. And Megan and Lena won the women's tag title.

Oh, yeah. Cause Willow wrestled. I forget the name of the other big girl. Tall girl. I mean, I forget what her name is.

Is your wrestle throwing the pre-show? No, no, no, the other one. No. What was that one's name? Who's Megan's partner?

Megan's Penelope. No. And this match. And this match that we're talking. Lena Cross.

She wrestled Willow on the pre-show. And even though Willow won and retained her title, she kicked a shit out of Willow. So Willow came into this hurt. And that plays in the story that I'm losing the votes. But they won.

What women's title does Willow have. That's not the women's tag title.

“Cause that's what they won in this match.”

I think she's the TBS champion, right? I don't. Yeah. That was the women's tag match. So then Brody King and Swerv.

And who is the most dangerous man in AEW? That's what we want to know. That's what they've been. Of them's the fighting words that they've been fighting over. And as you may recall,

that Swerv the other week on TV, left Brody King fighting for air and fit for nothing. We need choked him out with that vicious. He defied the laws of gravity to hang a man from the bottom. I don't think so.

Anyway, on the entrance. What are you laughing about?

I've never seen anybody ever.

The guy that was hanging the guy. The guy that was being hung was up in the air. And the guy hanging was over. And all the guy to do was stand up. And it's been fine.

Anyway, stock face was telling people that Brody King grew up. Boy, he's used to live at a hard life folks. He's grown up at a rough neighborhood like Van Nye's California. And I know it's it's Excalibur's thing. To constantly tell people that he knows from experience.

Because he used to be a wrestler. And he knows this. And he even mentioned his friend. Well, friends, it's all friends wrestling his friend's super dragon. They invented pro wrestling gorilla.

He mentioned him. And of course, the pro called him a Southern California legend. This guy that no one has ever seen. Except for a handful of fans who got those stupid videos. They live in this world where they were important.

And they were they were famous. And they were notorious. And even again. Van Nye's California.

“It may be the goddamn shittiest horse neighborhood in the world, right?”

But if you say that, you sound like a goddamn idiot. Because it's not like a hell's kitchen New Yorker. Hosted street on a south side of Chicago or whatever.

It's very nice California sounds like Disney land to the majority of the people in the country.

“Except for the people who live in Van Nye's.”

So Brian, are you intimidated? Just because that tough son of a bitch that's coming at you is from Van Nye's California. No. And I guess it's a good point to mention the commentary. This is the all-time worst Tony Shivani performance in history. You can go back and watch any match.

He had nothing to say. So sometimes no one else had anything to say either.

So it'd be like, oh, that's amazing.

Oh God. He's waiting for someone else to come in and no one else has anything to say. So he just has to, no he was reading a transcript of a seek of VHS from the 70s. Not the rest of it. Not the wrestler photo. Oh God. I can't believe it.

“But he was so bad the entire night Tony Shivani.”

I dare someone to do a transcript. Any match, make a match and just write what Tony Shivani said. It's unbelievable that there are fans who think he's so good or ever was good. But it's all sorts of awful. And the commentary even with Excalibur who sucks would be world's better.

If you wanted to do three men, someone other than Shivani who doesn't add anything. And that's his whole thing. He's trying to add stuff in. He adds nothing. All he does is tell you how great it is, how wild it is. And then when serious shit happens and it happened multiple times on his paper view. This exact thing serious stuff would happen.

And he would laugh. He would literally laugh. Oh that's amazing. He's laughing at the fucking gore and the horror. Again, that's supposed to be Gordon Solde didn't start laughing at Dusty Rhodes bleeding.

So yeah, it's not just, you know, he's always bad.

It's counterproductive. It hurts to product, not having a good announced team. And not having someone if you're going to do all this hardcore shit. You don't want someone laughing at it as it's happening. That's my two cents on the commentary. Well, it will give you three cents because of inflation.

But that's the, also. Oh my god, I can't believe this is great. He's just, he's, he's either just, he doesn't give a shit. He thinks all these people are out of their fucking mind and he's taken this kid's money. Or he's trying to appeal to the young audience who he thinks that should be their reaction.

Oh, this is great. They're being proxer glass because The, the weirdos that he's around on a regular basis have brought him into that world. I don't know which is which. If it was the old Tony, he'd be like, you people are out of your fucking mind. I'm going to take your fucking money and make fun of this shit.

But it, it doesn't seem to be what he's doing. Now, I don't know. But Brody and Swar. They opened up trading forearms to determine who's most dangerous.

“This is where, again, I'm watching to see because I think they got someone Brody Kang.”

He's a big gimmick looking motherfucker. He's moving around. He's applying himself. He is quick on his feet for a 300 pounder. He can, obviously, he's more intimidating than most of the roster. His promos have been somewhat better.

Say, "Guy away from a goofy bandito as a partner and started folks and on him instead of being in a group." And he looked good for 30 seconds and then swarve level demon posted him. And then pulled up the floor pad, but Brody Kang gave him a year and oddgee on the railing and they fought forever on the floor.

And then they got back into ring and started completely over again. And now Brody was shining again, but it's just kind of...

The reason why that the first few minutes, especially since Swarve has been used

as a made-of-it-guy singles die for much longer than Brody Kang has in AW. So that's where the he/O should shine the baby face for the first few minutes of the match. To show the whole weight of it is a brand new fucking motivated Brody Kang. And then you can stop him a little bit and then maybe you can go to the floor. You don't just start to flurry, stop the fucking baby face.

Do floor shit, then get back in the ring, start over again and now let the baby face shine because now it's a boring, slow-paced fight instead of goddamn chaos. If they both spit forever on the apron, but the referee was counting for Swarve to break

Because they don't pay any attention to what the fuck they're doing. They're lack of basic training of psychology prevents them from seeing. They can't do a fucking spot on the apron where they stand there and fucking grab each other at a hold at the referee counts them to break it because they're not a fucking ring. Jesus Christ, they didn't.

And then they wouldn't get in the ring to the point where I lost the interest in a thing. Then Brody gave Swarve the black hole slam on the unpadded floor. And then they got back to the apron. I don't know if this was a legitimate time, but it had to be five minutes. It may have been longer.

And then they finally got into Regan Swarve to a pad off the turn buckle.

And is this notice qualification? What I don't understand? They were on the buckle for a while that they didn't ever run into it at that point. Then they went back to the floor where Swarve gave Brody King a vertebraker on the floor. The thing where he drops him head and shoulders first on the floor.

Boom and Brody King beat the counts. So Swarve gave him his double stomp off the top rope and covered him and Brody kicked out at one. And as for us, I'm done. I just gave up on it at that point. What happened? Swarve ended up winning after kicking Brody in the head.

Just like I said with the Kesta angle, not with standing. It may have been time for Brody King to get the big win. But Swarve won and of course, it set up the post match. What was the post match? You didn't watch? No, I was fucking completely fed up with these two fuckers about the time that they got them.

Did two hospitalization angles and didn't got them finished this thing. And I just gave up and scooted ahead to the next and Brody King should have won this because at least he's been halfway getting over lately. You know, the more and watch Swarve, the more I don't want to watch Swarve, so I understand. But Kenny Omega ran out after the match to confront Swarve, making a big return. No, because obviously he's done with his Japanese commitment, so he can return from his latest K-fab injury to go after the man who injured him.

“I was about to say this is going to be the first time in the history of his career that he's actually come back to face the guy that fucking hospitalized him, right?”

Because before by the time he's ever come back, they've done something else or people are no longer there.

Because he never gets even with anybody.

Has he? Omega? Uh, did he get even with anybody? Has he ever gotten even with anybody? I don't know if you could say he got even with the cows family, I guess not.

When he broke apart from the rest of the elite, I don't remember really one. Everything with the elite never really went anywhere with all elite wrestlers. I said no, none of them, they all just kind of wandered around to let go back together again, because nobody else would talk to them. Maybe we don't need them, maybe we could just let him do his own thing, I don't look what happened.

No, I guess Kenny never gets even.

I guess maybe I'm missing stuff, I mean him and Ocata and I don't know, I guess not.

“And do you think in the way the things are going right now at AEW that Kenny should beat Swirb in any way shape or form?”

I do. I mean, did you think he should for the sake of Kenny or do you think he should for the sake of the company? I think he should for the sake of the company. Because I think Kenny getting a world title shot or series of matches, they're still a little bit of time where you can get some value out of that. I said it a few months ago, I'd like to see that.

I don't want to see MJF and Swirb. I don't want to see anyone in Swirb right now. So I'd rather see Kenny Omega in that mix and I prefer Kenny Omega segments. I know he fucking sounds like a Canadian snaggle pus, but I prefer his promos to fucking Swirb's promos too. So I would rather have him there.

Gotta got a little pop out of you. Heaven's the Megatry. He's not to worry. He's going to fall off even exit states left. And I'll agree with you.

“Because now that I think about it, you present that case.”

I would rather see him against the fucking gimmick, but also to be honest at this point is we'll get there.

We'll get there.

“Well, you know, Jim on the topic of Kenny Omega and Swirb Strickland.”

And I guess even Brody King, three guys you could say,

more than likely walk to the beat of their own drummer. And maybe that's because they have the finest earbuds in their ears at all times. Those great earbuds that we love here in this house. Let me personally endorse it right here at the top. Right at the top.

And we think you would to Jim our friends at Raycom. Our friends at Raycom, you love them. Stacey loves them. I would love them if I had two functioning ears, but folks. I don't know whether Kenny and those other guys are using the Ray cons or whether they're using some kind of.

I don't know big fancy damn name brand. You know the way they are, designer stuff that's twice as expensive and half as good as the Ray cons.

Because if they had the Raycon essential open earbuds, Brian, they'd be able to hear other things.

Not only would they be hearing their own drum, but they'd be able to hear people around them screaming their name, cars Hawking. Ray dipshit move out of the way, or some type of instruction of how to live their life. They wouldn't be wandered around in a fucking stupor. In a days like they are right now.

“That's what you people out there in the cult to coordinate.”

You got to remember, you can't just spend your life wandered around in a stupor. You can't wander around in a days. You've got to know what's going on at all times. And that's why the regular ear buds that block out everything. Boom, one of these days you're going to get run over by a rainbow bread truck.

But these Raycon essential open earbuds, they sit right outside your ear canal.

Right at a small single person paddle boat right outside the canal. So you get the really clear sound, but you can also hear the sound of a fog horn when a steam ship is coming into your canal. Bride, you know there's been a great increase statistically in the number of people being run over by steam ships. I don't know you're going to happen. I don't know this.

You don't know this. This is not anything that is a known fact that has talked about or that we would have any knowledge of. This is something for comedic purposes. Well, but you're talking about the Raycon's there and everybody knows that the Raycon's have the open ear design. So you can hear your music and the world at the same time.

They've got the multi-angular lightweight hook. The flexible ear hook that adapts to any ear for all day comfort. Even if even if your ears are somewhat misshaped or malformed. We're not ones to judge, just order the ogre ear buds. And they've got you fixed up.

They don't have the ogre, whatever you've offered in the past. The ogre, those things, I clops, they don't have any of these. These things are about as big as hockey pucks. And you stick them in your deformed fucking giant ear holes. But it works the same.

Ladies and gentlemen, once again comedic purposes are applied to some of the comments here. But we personally think Raycon's listening. They don't listen. Raycon. They're going to, they're going to send us a transcript of this or something.

If Raycon orders to play time. If they were listening, they would certainly know that we personally endorse and love using our Raycon's. Well, folks, if you'd like to refresh your routine this spring and hear the twinkling and the chirping of the birds and all the nature sounds as well as all the other things that you'd like to hear and listen to and carry on about your day.

Whether you're going to the gym, you're going on walks, you're doing stuff around the house or motorcycle rider riding around in the thunder dome well of doom.

“The essential open earbuds are right now available at buyraycon.”

B-u-i-r-a-y-y-c-o-n-by-raycon.com/j-c-e-open. You're going to get 20% off just by using that code. J-c-e-open at buyraycon.com, 20% off. And again, buy multiple pairs and you'll get multiple percentages and sooner or later, they'll be paying you. Not exactly.

It's mathematically just right there. Wrong, mathematically wrong, but you can be ear nomically right with Raycon one more time gym and that promo code. Yes, if you'd like to be ear-o dynamically right, go to buyraycon.com/j-c-e-open.

Where were we? Ah, the women's title, another one of them.

How many they got?

“But one of them was on the line with Chris Dattlander against Thecla.”

And I decided, okay, I'm going to use the moxley principle here. From Statlander's entrance, I fast forwarded 20 minutes. And they were still going. The referee had been bumped. Statlander had her pinned, but here came blue sky and julyahart.

They got in the ring. Statlander beat them up with a belt, not a title belt, but an actual belt off. Somebody's pants. And the referee got up and took the belt away from Statlander. And then Thecla gave her a spear, which I, that was the intent. But what it looked like was Thecla kind of wet pastor and she took a bump for it.

And Thecla stomped her, the curb stomped, and then again, same thing, one, two, three.

Okay, um, the referee is knocked down. Get up after some period of time and seize one of the people in the match, which is not notice qualification with a belt in her hand. And they just take it away in the match continues. And then the heel, because that was the baby face with the belt.

The heel comes from behind and does a big move. And then another big move. And then without a cover after either one, and then another big move.

“Why didn't she fuck her with the one big move while she wasn't looking?”

Or even the stomp, okay, but now I'm going to stomp you again. Now I've just beat you into powder. Instead of surprising it, what? Well, Jim, this was a good match of notwithstanding everything you said there before. That was true about the logic issues with the referee.

You do have to remember, this was two out of three falls. So you won't. No wonder it went so long. You only saw the end of fall three. It was a long road to get there and it was really good.

It was actually really good. Well, sort of a good. They should have put it on a show that wasn't five hours long. I might have watched it. And speaking of something else that was very long.

For the six-man tag title.

“Cal Felture, Mark Davis, at our friend O'Boring,”

against Kevin Knight, Hong Kong, Fui, and Mystico. And to make matters even more preposterous looking visually, Kevin Knight and dipshit dressed like Mystico. With the mass and everything. Although I will say that Hong Kong Fui looks better with his face covered.

And I know there had to be comedic material here. But again, we're talking a five-hour show. We're talking this is filler and there already full of filler. This was very long. And then the baby faces beat, poor old Mark Davis,

who's just been reduced now that his partner got taken out of the picture to the Don Callis job guy. He's the most interesting one. To be honest, he's, anybody is better than O'Cada. A goddamn comapation is more exciting than O'Cada.

And Cal, I'm just, I'm about to throw up my hands on

because he's never gonna prosper there.

Davis is an interesting big fat ass fellow. But, so the six-man, the baby faces or six-man champions now. And then they announced that Mystico was all elite. And he's been there.

But, how can you announce that you've just signed a guy that's been wrestling on your shows for on and off for months? And like that's a big deal now. What happened here?

Well, again, he's a CMLL star. He's the biggest star of the biggest drawn card there. Okay, but nobody in Des Moines gives a shit about that. They're watching a TV show on TBS or TNT. Well, they're doing a big push now. He's a member of the six-man tag team champions,

although I guess you could argue by Tony Logic, the big push goes to Marc Davis alluses every match he's in. Never seen him win. You got to hear the Mystico music? That was nice, it's very...

Oh, and that's another thing. If I was a baby, can you imagine the fucking fist fight

if any of the baby faces had been requested to come out

and bring to that shitty fucking music. It's death. It's big and Mexico.

“It is cool when he doesn't have arena Mexico”

and people are really reacting to it because they know the words. A few people seem to maybe know the words here. But a big title change. You need a big title change on a big show.

You don't have a big return, you need something. But I guess that's all you had to say about that match. Well, it's all I got. Here's something I'd like you to look up while I'm talking about this.

How long did Bandito and Andre go? They had a single match. The Bill rang three hours into the paper view. Along with an extra hour or so, or maybe a little more for the pre-show.

And is it okay? I'm going to again. I'm going to fast forward 15 minutes and see where they are. And I did and they were still going.

And I fast forward in another five minutes. And they were still going.

And then finally, after some period of time,

Bandito gave Andre a kind of GTS knee and a face type of thing. And Andre got up and assumed that stupid position. Where they have to get up, turn their back on their opponent. Lean over, grab the middle rope and wait for this idiot to come and do his stupid little flip on their back. But when he did the stupid little flip of the German Andre flipped backwards and landed on his feet.

And stood up and his Mr. not Mr. Cobb and Bandito, one of these O's. Cheerio as Cheerio was coming supporting Andre hit the greatest back elbow. And Bandito took the greatest bump ever to people. And Andre didn't cover him. He picked him up.

He drugged him to the corner. He got him up in position to give him some kind of half-ass move off the turn buckle. That everybody on the card had done something better than that. And covered him there, one, two, three. And at least that could have been a cool finish with the elbow.

I bought it. Everybody, he would, he would have won right there. But he's got a fucking pick the guy up and do something else when it looked like he had already just killed him to begin with. How long was this match? Did you ever find that out? It was 21 minutes. Jesus Christ.

A very good match. Some weird points. They are still doing the thing where Andre walks up to women who clearly did not buy wrestling tickets. And take selfies with them in the middle of the match. Also now he disrupts in the middle of the match.

He took off his pants to his legs.

“But he had very small red trunks on it. That's how he wrestled the rest of the match.”

You sure they were trunks? Or was he just a little inflamed? I don't know, but it was just middle of the match. It just disrobed. It was, again, it was just weird the pacing of this.

But good match. I thought it would be good and it was very good. And the fans were into it. You know what? AEW.

Traditionally, even on a lot of their shows that their fans love,

it always appears like they burn out their crowds.

And it didn't appear that way this late in the show. And that's pretty impressive. Well, that's good. They're in Los Angeles. These people are used to staying up late. And also it was, what time was it out there?

Well, three hours earlier. So it wasn't that late. Okay. So three hours and a seven o'clock at evening. They're still with no wonder.

That's what they,

“I think even, even old Uncle David admitted that.”

They do better when they start to, they have an afternoon show because they go five or six hours and people don't want to die after. So they kind of did that here. It was an afternoon show on the West Coast. There's something to be said for that.

And I know this was a, I'm sure it was a wonderful match. But I don't care about these people because I can't even keep track of who the fuck the baby faces and heels are much less. Who's mad at who and why and what belt that everybody has. Which is why that they get the audience.

It was to see non-descript anonymous people doing cool moves. And that's what they, they get. Unfortunately, that's all they get because it runs everybody else off.

Another six man tag. But it was a tornado match. That means nobody had to tag it all.

“They could just all play at the same time.”

Gabe, kid and Chuck Conters and David Finley against pockets and Rodriguez Strong and Darby Allen. And I know you won't believe it, Brian. But they had a jump start into a six way on the floor. And I said, this is a perfect time.

For everybody in the building to get popcorn and me to take a piss and exercise

my first amendment right to fast forward.

If they want me to take. Finley seriously, they can't put him in a fucking match with the mascot because I'm going to lose interest. So did you at least watch the entrance where. Gabe, kid does this funny thing again where he crawls out.

He crawls out slow. Like it's not medicine. It's more like like a bug who just hit daylight. Like he goes from one side to the other. I keep forgetting that he's the crawler guy that you keep mentioning.

And I keep forgetting to watch him crawl. I apologize. I know you didn't watch this match.

“Here's all I could think about after this match.”

Gabe, kid crawls the to ring.

Some fan in the YouTube comment says he looks like one of the babies. He's nothing but trouble and accurate movie or the giant baby characters. And then he did this promo at the press scrum afterwards, which a couple people sent to me. And it was just.

Fuck this and fuck that and fuck the shut up. God, he's another one like the J white voice. Yeah. But he curses. He's like he's like the Shane Douglas of J white voices.

Now come on. Maybe he's got Tourette. That's been in the news lately. It's a thing going around. The crawler.

Why do you crawl to there?

Has it been explained? And I missed it because the commentary sucks. Why he crawls to the ring or he crawls. He doesn't even crawl all the way to the ring. He starts out like a little crawl.

I choreographed thing and then he gets up and walks the rest of the way. It's not even that he's fully committed to the full crawl.

“He's doing the fucking the tablo of the assent of man, right?”

Down the alley starts my crawl and that's funny. He's on the right. I mean, he's like seven feet to all body into the match. Yeah. And then he starts out.

He's got fur all over him. But he looked about halfway down to the ring. He loses the fur. All right. Well, unfortunately, you didn't get to watch this match.

It's hard to take anyone seriously when again. In 2026, they're working seriously with Orange Cassidy. Yeah. But speaking of how fur we need to go, sometimes they go too fur Brian and that we are here at our main event.

And I know for everybody says, Ah, Cornette still. You know, he just can't see. MJF is not what he owe. The old gray marriage.

What he used to be. And Cornette wounded Middleton. He still tries to take up for him. I can honestly say here. Without fear, I think of contradiction.

That MJF was able to do something. Ennis made a bit match for the AEW title. A Texas death match against old hang nail page. MJF did something that nobody else in the near 150 year history of. Organized professional wrestling was ever able to do, Brian.

Do you know what record MJF said here? I don't. He had in all those years in over a century and a half. He had the absolute faked fucking wrestling match that's ever been held. And think how much territory that takes in.

All those rotten performers. All those ill-advised matches being booked down through history. All the craminess in the. Not even mediocrity, but the just lack of talent. And overall misery of this and somehow MJF.

Is the one who manages to take part in the fakest fucking wrestling match ever held. It's it's fake on so many levels that it it it really should be the subject of some kind of college psychology thesis. And there obviously not really mad at each other. Because they both engage in goofiness that you wouldn't engage in if you really mad at somebody.

They went to gun town mountain again.

“Found a fucking side of the road Western town tourist attraction.”

And he did the video in the comedy. Hick accent. And he was he's he's the guy coming into town to take care of something. And he pissed on pages grave with his little western tombstone. They spent money on that.

And page came out to the ring to a good badly ugly song rip off as close as they could get to. Is some kind of surgio leóni soundtrack without getting sued. Trying to look tough with fake barb wire wrapped around his fucking arm. They just couldn't do the standard garbage wrestling stuff.

They had to do every garbage wrestling thing that had ever been done all in the same match.

And then go ten minutes past that. And I'm going to give you an opportunity to speak before I make this a soliloquy again, Brian, but we must remind the people as usual. It's not even really a Texas death match. It's a match where you win by a ten count to be knocked out or a submission. They just call it a Texas death match.

MJF paid homage to Terry Funk with his tights and they bill it as a Texas death match. And they give it's history back to Dory Funk senior blah, blah, blah. It's not a Texas death match. It's a garbage wrestling match with a budget. It's if Ian Rotten didn't have to serve tacos and hepatitis outside of fucking drive through window.

Because he was born a multi-billionaire. This is what we've gotten away of garbage wrestling. Stupid shit, but with a budget.

“And so it would do you have any comments to preface this thing before we go through some of the low points of the match?”

I guess I give my overall thoughts now. I hated it. I really hated it. Adam Page came out of different music in the fans expected and seemingly the pop one way. When I ended the music.

I went forever. Nice tribute to Terry Funk by MJF. Actually, maybe think a little bit of Chris Candido who did the same thing. What can I say? It was, um, it was their chance to outmoxly moxly. Outnic gauge, nick gauge, outswirb, swirb.

Take every bad idea that's been used in this company. Traditionally, not in MJF matches and bring it to this stupid match. Which was built up in stupid promos. Adam Page sounded rehearsed.

“Trying to tell you that he's, he's letting him from fucking Texas.”

But whatever, he's a cowboy from Virginia, who's demanding this Texas death match. This is his gimmick. And he already did all the gross out shit with swirb a few years back. So you knew he was going to do shit like that here.

And, you know, I guess given credit for being committed to the stupidity, because he's willing to go all the way, it seems like with the dumbest ideas, I don't know what MJF was doing in this match. I guess just to show everyone else he could do it too. Well, that's the, that's the place that they've left MJF and where he just has to.

Page has no options. Page was not going to be a big star in the WWE in any way shape or form ever. They may have wanted to sign him at some point just so that the billionaire kid wouldn't have him, like they were doing at some points. But nobody's ever saw a page can only go to the WWE.

That's where people were saying that MJF was going to end up for quite a while when he,

when they first saw him because he was prodigy.

And he can work physically in the ring as well as anybody psychology wise, and as well as most people with his physical work. But his verbal ability was what was carrying him and what was setting him apart. With the way that they've neutralized all of that, he is now of the good booking and the fact that he's done stupid shit and he's not the guy that's real anymore.

We know he's just a gimmick because he's bad to break character so many times. Now he's been faced with a situation.

It's not guaranteed because his size still might work against him.

But he's got all the talent necessary to be or has had. By the time he gets out of there, he may not have it anymore.

“But the talent to be a big name and a business and make millions of dollars and be a top wrestling star that people will remember.”

Or the path that he is apparently chosen, which there's something to be said for that as well. I'll take this fucking guy's millions of dollars. I have to wrestle rarely. I can take off and do whatever I want.

TV's acting, whatever whenever I want. And he'll still pay me.

And it's just that two or three times a year in situations like this, I have to work with stupid people and do.

Freak show, sad show, shit to prove to these stupid fucking fans that we've got here, that they think this is talent. But he can retire when this contract is up with millions of dollars in the bank and go do acting. So I... That was his agent. I would kill Tony cont today after that match.

But I'm just, you know, I'm sorry. I'm disappointed that MJF is not going to be a big deal in the fucking wrestling business. But I'm glad that he's going to retire at an early age. I don't know what else to say. But I mean, if this is what he has to do a couple times a year to make millions of dollars.

And otherwise not have any restrictions on his fucking job or his life, I guess. Yeah. But it's a fucking shame. See, that's the sad thing. A.W. has normalized the idea because it is true for them.

“That to be a top guy, you have to wrestle hardcore garbage matches.”

Because every guy they have has done it. We've seen Moxley try to wrestle like he's Billy Robinson, not saying he is or he looks good doing it. He knows what he does. Yeah. And then we've seen the other side where Moxley does the grossest stupidity shit.

The skewers, I think he brought them into AEW. You can say the same thing about Swarve. I've seen him wrestle pretty good matches where there's a bunch of high spots. And then I've seen him do the stupidest hardcore shit I've ever seen. It's an AEW issue.

You know, I'm not trying to take up for MJF because I just don't know if you can get around being an AEW top guy and not wrestle. These kind of matches with that said, this one took it way too far.

“This one had multiple things that someone should have said, why are we doing this?”

This is too much. And I mean, again, is it is it faker because it's so obviously seen through that you know they're cooperating? But it's the same time is it faker is it possibly more distasteful that they're obviously also hurting each other on purpose while cooperating with that effort? Yeah, this is no way those guys are not hurt today, like days after. Yeah, what knows that they're legitimately hurting themselves even if they're not sore.

I'm talking about cutting or fucking whatever, but everybody knows it's all fake. And it's so obvious because it's so far and unbelievable and over the top. The cooperation level is off the charts, obvious. The it's obvious that everything that they're doing is in some way fake because they wouldn't be getting up from it. And that's the point that it's so.

Non-sensical to me that while they're hurting each other legitimately far more than anybody in pro wrestling matches. Ever did in history was it'd be the fucking bloodiest matches of street fight matches or whatever they're hurting themselves more. But it looks even faker. That's what makes my head explode. Let's go through some of the things they did.

Uh, they had to start out with the. Up into the bleachers fighting in the crowd. The the fake walk fight through the crowd that's poorly shot and you can't really see. And there was no reason for them to start that, but they got to do that because that's one of the tropes of the thing. And then they go back to the ring and try to start wrestling.

And MJF was trying to be a heel. He was trying to make this interesting.

He's trying to because as you mentioned at first the pop for page was not there.

I think they cheered MJF in the intro's over page.

But immediately.

Page pulls out a staple gun at a birthday card because it was M.J.F's birthday.

And took the birthday card to give him paper cuts between his fingers. And then stapled the birthday card to his chest. And then pulled it off. Can you dip the bruisers in a bar fight, Brian? And so I'm going to give you paper cuts with a birthday card.

And then I'll tickle you. And yeah, I'll tickle you to death. I don't need to take this seriously as a match anymore because now they're already being stupid. They don't really hate each other.

“It's probably important. It's a freak show for the goofs that look for goofy videos on the internet.”

That's the fan base for this. And then page pulls out a window with the casing.

The bugger went to sell it a whole wooden part around it, but I'm sorry.

I will be corrected if I'm wrong. But that window was sugar glass because once they broke it and started dragging each other around in it, they'd have been ripped to shreds even more than they were by the other shit. But we're M.J.F breaks the window in the middle of the Reagan instead. I'm not doing that indie bullshit, which he knows what it is.

He's saying that because the fans that like indie bullshit will be offended. But a problem is it makes him a baby face with normal people. But to point is, he says, I'm not going to do that indie bullshit. And then he got slammed in the glass and broke through the glass. And then but then he was barely scratched by that.

He's going to cut up later on.

“But which is better taken a body slam in real glass.”

Even though people know it's on purpose or showing that it's obviously fake because it's fake.

I don't because it didn't cut them all the way up or anything. Right. But this is fake and stupid and real all at the same time into a just a mess. Page punched M.J.F with the barbed wire wrapped around his hand. Somehow busted M.J.F opened, but not his hand.

And then he gingerly put the wire in M.J.F's mouth. And did a series of stupid stunts that kids watching Jackass when they grew up thought up. And M.J.F ripped Adam pages head with a piece of the fake glass and somebody else doing it again. They're just laughing at this shit. Well, plus like you said before, the dynamic was wrong.

He was the baby face here. M.J.F got a baby face reaction. Adam page got no reaction.

“Yeah, because at least he's interesting.”

And they don't give a fuck about cowboys in Los Angeles. Let's say they're in a fucking movie. But a more body slams into glass. Then M.J.F took the broom and swept the glass out of the ring. And just took for a while pages there selling.

Just I'm just going to sweep all this out. It's just it's a series of stunts and tricks, not a match. M.J.F. staff page in the head with broken broom handle. Then he got the veterinarian syringe. But if a doctor comes at you with that syringe,

Are you going to fucking bail out the window? Where does the syringe come from? It's somewhere out of a plastic bag from under the ring. Because that's where they've stored all their goddamn props. But it wasn't like a syringe for a shot for a human.

It was a giant syringe with a two inch needle. And then he stuck it through the side of pages. Cheek from inside his mouth out. Shot the liquid out through it and it left it there. Well, pages standing up starting to try to make it come back with a fucking syringe stuck through his face.

And of course, they have to get the close up on this. So you can dance real. It was the liquid because it was spraying it. But it was through his cheek. It wasn't on you spraying it into his mouth or anything.

And now I was just to show that it was really shot through. It was stuck through his face. It was real. This water. Whatever the fuck it was.

Let me just this will be my spot here. At least there was he didn't give him any goddamn air bubbles and kill him on the spot. Go ahead. Let me just say that this was the spot that I said. This is the grossest thing I've ever seen.

And wrestling and I thought we spot what mjf in the barbed wire and his mouth was pretty gross.

I thought that was gross.

The moxley and the skewers.

“It's always a w they want up themselves every time.”

This was the grossest thing ever. And here's the. And you can't beat. You can't beat somebody at a fight or a match or anything else like that. It's just stupid torture porn shit for these weirdo internet fans that congregate to watch this crap.

But you can't tell me that even a page was sitting there. Yeah do it do it do it to me that mjf doesn't have the cash in the industry to go dude. I'll do your other fucking shit, but come on. No. But he didn't.

And you know, so that's why I say it's.

I said, but I thought he was going to be a star in wrestling business. He'll end up getting rich rich from the wrestling business. You'll not be a star in it. And then there was the wire wrap chair and I was unending. A.K.A. without in.

“Uh, did I on the wire chair more wire chair shot so slow paced?”

Did I off the apron through the table? More nothing forever. mjf leaping tombstone piled driver off apron through table to floor. At that point, I wrote, I'm sorting mail orders. Then they, they started doing a yay boo at one point after the.

The, the, the syringes and the fucking wire chairs and everything.

They were doing a wrestling spot. Then they wandered around for about a minute and got light tubes and went to the influence way. And then mjf obviously held still and bent over. So that page could fucking take the goddamn light tube and break it over his back. That sliced him up.

And I'm sure he got blood poisoning from whatever that gas is. And then he kneel there and stood stock still. So the page could hit him over the head with it with another one. And then they got more juice and then. Besides the blood poisoning that he probably got, they went back to the fucking ring.

And then page gets the chopsticks out and what the fuck. What is this? How is this going to beat somebody or get even with somebody for some. Thing you were legitimately mad at. He stuck chopsticks in his head.

And with 35 minutes in, they're not done. And then page got a bag and put dumped out a chain with dog collars on either end of it and put one on mjf. And he put the other one on himself. Well, kind of fuck it idiots. They're proving he's an idiot. And then he punched mjf with the big chain several times.

Like that would kill you right there. It's three or four finishes. Then he pulled out another table. That's number three. They were going to break.

And mjf has to lay there in mobile while page sets all that shit up.

“And then at first, I thought it was just him saying it, but I think they really thought.”

Page was laid mjf on the fucking table and screamed for a lighter. Ladies and gentlemen, nobody had one. So he pulls out a barbed wire board. And mjf had not moved at that point in over one minute. But the referee wasn't counting him.

He's laying flat him his back in the match that can only end when somebody is knocked out for a 10 count. And while page is going around trying to find all these props, he's just laying there in a refrigerating county. Minutes. Does that make any sense, Brian? No, doesn't make any sense.

A lot of things in this match did not make sense or were not needed. And then the fans started chatting, we want fire because he had teased it. It paves like who's got a lighter? Nobody. So they just didn't do it.

I don't know what the fuck. Then they fought on the apron. And mjf jerked page off the top rope into a cannonball flip onto the wire board through the table to the floor. And he got up at night. And then they fought back to the stage again.

And then they did the awkward fake teasing thing of oh, I'm going to fall off the edge of the stage like about 10 times.

That they blew the power off like they've been electrocuted.

“And five seconds later, he blew up again.”

There was a tail in Charlie there on the power rope. It would have been funny if that ended the paper view feed. They did they'll do that next. That's the only other thing because they've just been electrocuted. They both got up at nine.

Off the stage through a table electrocuted nine count. They went back to the ring. Page went for the buck shot. He's just been electrocuted, but he can still do his goddamn flip over the top rope land on his feet. Mjf kicked him into balls got the title belt and hitting with the belt.

And at the nine count page jumped up pissed.

Electrcuted kicked in the balls and fucking hit with the belt.

And any kicked mjf in the balls and hit him with the belt. And then page went to the apron. And it was going to buck shot him again, but mjf foil the buck shot.

“And because they were still connected to this chain.”

He hung page by his neck over the top rope. And page started shaking and going limp. And then his head popped off. And mjf football kicked it out into the crowd. And son of a bitch, the referee started counting over the headless body.

And it got up at nine and a half. I'm just kidding. He hung him on the top rope. Yeah, he hung him over the top rope. Page went limp.

And the referee stopped it at 46 fucking minutes. It was distasteful. It was way too long. It was so ridiculously fake. It was the worst.

It was the appeal to the worst nature of every one of these garbage indie wrestling fans that. Shits on the business and doesn't take it seriously and just wants to see the nick gauges and the John Moxley's. And the sad show geeks of the wrestling business that bite. The head off the chicken. And that's now what.

Mjf has become he's the. He's Olga at the end of freaks. When they look down in the fucking. Little pin there and there is Olga with all the feathers clucking around. He's become one of them.

One of them. Gobble Gobble. He except you. He except you. They've accepted him.

It's like why it's like watching Pavarotti become millivanily. Well, you could blame it on the rain or you could blame it on something else. This was the worst MJF match I've ever seen. This was just another Adam page of Adam page sucks. There are people that want to pretend these some high and mighty guys doing this character.

He's proven multiple times he's a moron. And his instincts for wrestling are right up there with more on instincts. And I did not hear a demand for me. W fans for this kind of match for this match. These two guys.

This. It almost feels like they wanted it more than the fans did.

“And what I'm it's one thing when you have a big match at the end of a few because you have to get there.”

You have to do it and it's kind of a demand for a little something more. It used to be just as simple as a cage or something. Yeah, but I'm thinking I'm thinking Tony wanted it because Tony likes this kind of thing.

And he never gets tired of it.

He never gets tired of anything. And page probably wanted it because he's got them indie goof like the rest of these indie goofs. It, oh, this will be the greatest match of all time. I think MJF appraised the situation and said. I've not only got to work with this fucking idiot, but I've got to work for this other idiot who pays me a fortune.

And the only fans that were ever going to get like this kind of shit. So I'm going to lower myself into the sewer and swim into the sewage. Because I make a ton of money and I can do whatever the fuck I want. That's the only way I can rationalize a guy that I've met and no to be intelligent. Doing this is that he's given up on.

Because in the WWE, he'd have to work a full schedule and he would have to prove himself. And if we still get somewhat of a risk. They don't even work a full schedule. We're going to schedule.

I'm not talking about six nights a week.

I'm talking about he couldn't take off and do his own shit. And he would be beholden and etc. Whereas here he just has to do this stupid shit ever once a while.

“But it's it's a shame, but that's the only way I can see that he willingly participated in this is he's just like this is.”

This is where I'm going to be because as long as he'll pay me this ridiculous amount of money, I can do my other shit. And I don't he's 30 now, so he's like he's over the hill. Again, I'm not going to take it all the way to where you're taking it. This was a. He's given up.

He might as well have written a suicide note to the wrestling business. Oh, come on. I'm just I don't care anymore. I'll just let this gap pay me. Trying to keep up with you.

I'll go be Adam Sandler's fucking comedy movie part. He's trying to keep up with traffic.

He wants John Moxley to stop running his math in the back.

Maybe I don't know. He's trying to, you know, they're all doing this. And that's my guess. You can't be in a W top guy unless you work this match. This a very.

That's what I'm saying. Yeah, that's why he's just said, OK, I'll just. I'll just act. We asked to this shit.

“You know, Jim coming in to that Texas death match.”

Obviously, you could see certain things that are going to be bothering these wrestlers the next few days. The cuts in the head, the cuts on the back. Their hips, their legs, they're by everything's going to be bothering them. Except their brain makes you wonder what's happening with their feet. Because we can't see what's happening.

There weren't wrestling boots.

And we know wrestling boots can't protect you like the fine boots from our friends at

Brunt. Well, you know, the thing is Brian, this idiot page. He was so stupid. He wasn't even wearing wrestling boots. Where he wasn't even wearing cowboy boots.

But with wrestling souls to a lot of dusty roads or a berry wind. He was wearing boots with a heel on him. And he could have just tripped and fallen and broken his neck and hung on shit and slipped on shit. That's why you need the brunt boot. Folks, and I'll tell you what, especially.

If you wouldn't mind dealing at some potatoes with your feet, the brunt boots are the ones to wear when you're wrestling. Because they'll take care of your feet. I don't know about your opponents head.

“When you need to go out and work hard for a living,”

when you need to get down into ditches with the TC Lee. And the American Dream Dusty Rose's father. Then you need brunt boots because they don't slip. They're waterproof. They're so furry lined.

You could actually, I sometimes wear these boots on my hands. If my hands are cold outside. Because of the nice soft and warm lining. That's not suggested. And of course, how do you wear them on your hands?

You go on all fours. Like an animal or do you just wear them on your hands? Yes, yes. And see that's another thing. You slip these things on your hands.

And you wear another parody. And you kind of walk on all fours. And you can convince anybody tracking you that there's two of you. So again, folks, once again, the soul. What?

I get... Now, I was out in the snow in my brunt boots. All that snow in ice we had. I walked up and down a driveway. When it was a solid sheet of ice.

And it looked like I was doing the bat climb up the building. I didn't fall down once. And I'm elderly. One fall. That could have been all she wrote.

So brunt saved my life this winter. And then now it's spring. And it's all the rain. And you get out in the mud. And the mud.

And the mud. And the blood. And the beer. It's laying all around in your yard. And sometimes in these normal cheapo boots.

You stick your feet and stuff like that. And by the time you draw your foot up, the boots still in the mud. But these brunt boots, they're going to stay on your feet. And your feet are going to be dry even though the outside of your boots. Obviously, because you've just stuck them in a mud hole.

We're going to be just all fucking nasty. But then you're going to hose them off and they're durable. And you go right on. That's the kind of hard working boot type of guy. What if what they need to not be stuck in the uncomfortable boots.

Brian, and you know, sometimes the toes, your toes get in trouble. When you're on a rough job site, let's say you're tearing down the Egyptian pyramid to make way for a parking lot at a fucking publics. You don't want all those giant blocks of granite and stone to fall on your toes. Unless you're wearing the brunt boot with the special toe that prevents your goddamn toes from being crushed. Which you can also then use it a wrestling match to kick somebody in the head and do some damage.

Let's get back here to the United States.

“The good old fashioned hardworking man and woman who need the right gear.”

To northern Africa and tear down a good, but no, it's Egypt. That's not northern Africa. That's, that's an Egypt. Where's Egypt?

Well, that's over next to Egypt.

And also, brunt offers a whole range of high performance gear built for tough jobs from heavy duty workpants to weather resistant jackets. Yeah, as a man, this is what all weather people are wearing when they're on the camera, the weather channel when they're in the monsoon or they're in the terrible blizzard. Under the bottom of those nice weather channel jackets, they got brunt shit on because that's heavy duty stuff that keeps the weather out folks right now without further ado. Go to bruntworkware.com and use the code JCE, you're going to get $10 off of brunt, whatever brunt boots, brunt pants, brunt hoodies, brunts of all nature, $10 off when you use the code JCE at bruntworkware.com.

That's right, a great deal for our friends at brunt. And you know, you don't have to grunt when you pull them on. They got a loop on the back and you just stick your finger in there and just pull them right over your heel even my flat canoe feet go right into these days.

It's so it's slipping on. It's like putting on a new pair of skin one more time that promo code JCE.

Jim following up on something we mentioned earlier and then we'll get to what you watched on raw ricochet following up on his tweet telling a wrestling fan that he's glad she got MS. And what now is he's he mocking people for being in an iron lung next, what's what can be the next progression of this he has put out a statement on Twitter here it is at King ricochet. I took out my hatred for the IWC on Sandy and inadvertently others who are affected by MS. She didn't deserve it and for that I sincerely apologize moving forward. I'll do better.

And he thoughts on this apology. It sounds to me like some adult in his periphery whether it was either professional or personally as mother is wife is boss whoever. And then I said don't shit look what you've just said what the fuck look what you look like for saying what you've just said probably shamed him shamed him is ain't low would say into. Some form of realization that he had fucked up. Let's see what the fans think well hold on at the same time though I took out my hatred of the IWC.

“He, he is admitted that he actually legitimately does get mad at each and every one of these messages of block you smart s blocks mart s blocks mart s and not where he's legitimately mad and stirred up by these people and that's why he keeps.”

Jowston with him and putting his foot in his map. And those fans may not be forgetting here are some of the replies to him. You were still reposting things defending your actions and saying you were justified doing so just a couple hours ago. You're not sorry you got the call from upstairs. Here's someone who retweeted something did did the call come from inside the house and then someone ever apologize for this though or you're going to forget this and it's another I guess a previous interaction were a fan talked about having a lot of.

I guess mental issues, I'm trying to read it's a lot here and Ricochet's reply was ha ha ha. Childhood trauma sounds like a pussy to me. Here's another reply not screw that nonsense the only reason you're issuing an apology is because you were told to you didn't expect to heat you got for that comment and now you have to play damage control save the fake apology we don't believe you're being sincere in the slightest.

“Remember when this guy let Hulk Hogan move forward and do better oh no that's right him and his buddy celebrated his death.”

Jesus Christ, but you reposted two people defending your tweet and you had the way to date will apologize guessing the boss made a call pathetic. Here's another one nope sorry the apology is null and void since before posting the apology you doubled down on what you said not getting out of this one that easy.

But if you haven't found it when you're pushing 40 that really should tell you the answer.

He disdain and disgust into some type of taking selling in to the I don't think so it's not like oh we want to see people beat you up is like we like to wipe our feet on you and have you disappear from our lives. So there it is ricochet obviously addressing the problem and not again if it was an isolated thing any apologize for it it would be one thing but we've done other segments on this show about his behavior on social media which. He's trying to be a heal but at a certain point it's clear that there's something with him that's the issue and he's looking for people to.

“And here's the thing again and again somebody out there's going to have coordinates want to talk for cutting promos of people on Twitter to get I'm saying yes.”

I think I have the world record for blocks but the problem is is that ricochet sounds like he's fucking 12.

You can't he can't make the statement that I've tried to be a heal and draw money in my character because he sounds like he's fucking 12 with some of this shit and he can't form coherent sentences or he's mocking people for their disabilities like you would if you were in grade school or and I'd maybe they don't even do that anymore. It's there's no there's no wit there's no professionalism or there's no he he's just. Black with people either pick one and slice them to the bone and let it be an example for the rest that come in their wake.

Or just block them and go on if you ain't if you can't fucking.

Fans because they're fucking fencing on guard and and he can't fucking do it he just sounds like an idiot with an issue. And we've said it about fans I think it's true for a lot of wrestlers social media is not for everybody.

“And if you don't have a thick skin you should probably if you're a famous person stay off social media.”

And I would guess Tony Khan must have said something to him because. I can't see he doubled down he justified it said because everyone attacks him and his wife. He's allowed to say whatever he wants to people. And then it's a whole whole phone there cowboy.

“There's been many people on social media attack me and my wife.”

You Joe Smith well hey I have goddamn I you know six uteruses it's a rare condition ops you know what I know that. Yeah I didn't know that. But when you mock a disabled person for their disability I would like to think if I did that Stacy wouldn't be the first one to come to me before if I worked for Tony Khan he was a what are you doing insulting handicapped people. Well that's the latest ricochet update couple updates here on the show he issued a tweet he lost in the pre show battle royale and he issued an apology will see where we go from here.

But Jim where we go from here and where we go and today show we will come back with the watch along that we promised either on the experience or the next drive through. But let's go to WWE Raw. Yes because we when we promised that we didn't realize that raw was in between the flomics of the germist at so we're going to do that now in this then is that clear. It could yeah there you go sure yeah. So raw on March the 16th from San Antonio Texas the home of Ozzy Osborn's favorite placed piss.

Lately Brian is there was this an anomaly or is this a sign it's starting to be WrestleMania so everybody's given them their goddamn ATM pin numbers and just here drain me I don't know because the show really hasn't changed much.

“It's still like there's something big at the beginning there's something big at the end and it's the usual suspects filling up the middle.”

This was a hot crowd that we're into everything you can argue that Roman rain is appearances it may not be like the height of the bloodline with him and him and but it's still a big deal.

A high you got that right after I didn't say Roman it grace thick fans with one of his contractually obligated appearances and brought me of contributed to it and well and that's right they had advertised or hit the advertised rock yes they haven't said these are the upcoming dates these are the only chances you'll get to see them yeah. Well there you go so it's a point I'm going to make here to second remind me about Brock and the house here enrollment also. But they started off and 20 masked men entered the ring and began scaring about like cockroaches when you flip the light switch on.

And then Seth ended up being the one in the ring and unmasked and cut the promo. And he's I created the vision and I will kill the vision and he talked about all the members of the group and he said if you are standing next to Paul Heyman you are marked for death.

Now this shows of a change in philosophy from the Vince McMahon days that I don't know that I necessarily agree with Vince was not always insane.

But it's also it's a rule from the territories you never threaten to kill anybody. Just because that was no we just completely don't believe you're going to kill this guy don't say it with a straight face. I hope beat your brains out or you know the colorful language but not just flat out I'm going to kill you. Did you think marked for death was a little dramatic especially now when they know that it's all. Uh-huh and fall to roll. I mean it's a line but coming from Seth Rollins it's not really believable it's just.

“I'll not remember what moxie was doing as promised for all like and then I'll just have to kill you like know you won't.”

Yeah, I'm not gonna kill anyone man don't say that. The Rollin stuff is pretty bad right now. I know people who go to these shows seem to be happy when people are there. But the whole idea that there was these masked men for months theory was a masked man but they've been these masked men for months and now all of a sudden they're all there with him and the scurrying around. This is not good creative. I'll just say that. Well and but at least they're employing every goddamn outlaw wrestler in the.

But basically if you stand next. Paul Hayman you're you're cooked and he said I hit Hayman with a chair and I stomped him into the matten.

“Boy howdy. That's what he gets and it's subtly in the entrance way appears Paul.”

And he is losing weight. By the way, I will admit this. My my kind hearted little jabs because I was concerned about his health. My fellow senior citizen. Even though he is still at three and a half years younger than me or whatever it is. Now I'm just I've been concerned about him. I think he's taken it to heart because I do detect there is some. I don't know what was he did he put lemon juice in his eyes. This is a dedicated.

But he walks by people they don't lean into his gravitational pull as much as they used to because it's less and now. And I'm going to ask you. You saw a cut on his nose did that that cut look because it wasn't bad. So it looked halfway legitimate it wouldn't like they tried to make a giant scar or anything. Do you think he bladed the bridge of his nose just for effect when it wasn't a fresh cut.

There's no reason how would the bridge of his nose just up there been cut by that since it wasn't a potato.

“And he had a gimmick bloody nose when he was leaving, but I just refused to believe that he was actually busted open by what I saw on camera, but yet he did have a a gash we can generously put on the bridge of his nose.”

And I think I think he he went to either had or he did what I did when after a fucking hit the market Columbia with the racket and went home and make sure that I had fucking the marks on knuckled my own nose in the mirror and at home before I went to the hospital to have him look at it. Anyhow, the fans were happy to see him back by chanting fuck you, hey man.

And Paul was not speaking. He was just standing there like the living death and just quivering.

And Seth was taunt name. I'm going to pay you back for your betrayal every day until you're gone. And then Paul kind of he's still in the entrance way. He's trembling, but he spoke softly and he said, I wasn't going to come out here, but I wouldn't miss this for anything because I'm effing with you because you asked with me. If a f a f a f five, and here comes Brock's music. I was genius. I would be beautiful. I love the idea. Brock Lesnar coming back to the Fenham and that's perfect.

Yes, but I'm at the material also at the delivery and just the building up of the the emotion until finally he found it with a breath.

And so, here comes Brock and meanwhile all of the masked men are surrounded in Seth and the ring. And Brock's just taking off his coat and his hat. And he started walking around the ring and he killed about four guys on the floor and then a couple more.

“He's super excellent everywhere those motherfuckers. I'm thinking Jesus Christ. I think if I was in one of the black outfits, I would just go ahead and fall down and pretend.”

I was one of the people he had already fucking got to. But anyway, he got to ring and beat up about six more and apparently Seth does not care about his minions at all. Did you notice this? He just standing there like, yeah, go ahead. Just kick that shit out of him. He was standing there too confidently. No, you think he was just standing there. He wasn't worried even when there was no one left except him and Brock. He didn't show any fear. Well, I think the the insemination is, or the insinuation is that he knew what was who was about to stomp on out there and save the day.

“That's what I was thinking. There was enough time for Brock to charge at Rollins and just kill him and instead Rollins, you got to see him stand there and smirk. And I think that was good point. I think that was a mistake.”

Well, because Brock hesitated. See, snooze did he lost because now here came. I mean, they're they're facing off as you said, but the lights go out and a fucking entrance way like that. There is Oba Femi. And he does his full entrance and the fans are chat. Oh, uh, uh, and of course, because of international wrestling law, Brock could not kill Seth Rollins at Boydy and turn his status there for this guy to have his entrance, right? After about three minutes and that's the thing, a three minutes old in the ring comes to a halt.

So that's the thing that I didn't like about this particular piece of business here is JR would say the the angle that they shot here, but having said that. Once Oba gets to the ring, and he gets in there and they have the face off. The people want to see this shit and Seth just makes a little move to distract Brock very subtle and it rolls right out and Brock turns around. And Oba just picks him up and power bombs his ass that pop up fucking giant power bomb he does boom and lays him out flat and stands over him and then puts his foot on Brock's chest, which.

What did you think of that though? That was the most surprising thing I think out of all this to me.

We've never seen someone stand by that over Brock listener. And point it to WrestleMania sign with the other hand. I'll stand on the biggest box office attraction per capita in the fucking industry with one foot and point it to WrestleMania sign after I've just leveled him. That's the way you make the fucking star. And Brock is smart about business and Brock also knows that he is just now created of an opponent for himself in a major remain of it, not made of a major money match of WrestleMania, which he's going to make.

“You know, fucking seven figures who knows what his fucking deal is before for ten minutes work hard work with ten minutes who goes over. So I think, oh, but does.”

If they if they're really confident and wanting to launch him right now, and it seems like they are.

I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on here and take a bit of that out and put it in the bank account named Oba Femi. Like a Christmas account the old days, right? You put a little in every week. It's growing and that'll be a big boost.

“Brock and Hayman was brilliant just to recap. Hayman's brilliant. Seth, it's it's the situation. It's a situation. He's a right man for the situation here.”

The law court, when they had to stop everything down, but then this is exactly what they needed to do and they didn't take any chances on doing too much. And the people getting a negative opinion about wanting to see Oba Femi and Brock Lesnar. And I'll bring this up now, because I just saw this on the interwebs that our friend shit stain. Oh, Vinny Roo is all they had this all backwards. Had it all, but he's thinking could the heel needed to get heat on the baby face in this instance, Brock Lesnar should have beat up Oba Femi to build their match at WrestleMania. Imagine this was his quote, imagine if Hulk had gotten to Andre before WrestleMania three.

“And besides, if I was completely different, this is the only, that's no comparison. Heart of wrestling he ever has a frame of reference on anyway, but it's completely different build and completely different situation, completely different.”

A structure, Hulk and Andre at that time were the two biggest not talking about size, but box office attractions in the industry. Today, Brock Lesnar is obviously one of probably the top two, three, whatever the fuck. If not the top, Oba Femi is not in the top 20 yet, because he's brand new, not saying he won't be. But besides that. This is why that again, he got himself smartened up and he learned all the rules of thumb and everything about the wrestling business. But there's elements and layers to it and it depends on each individual situation. So Brian, let me ask you this and it will move on.

If you see, if you ask somebody who's a big star and in mixed martial arts ultimate fighting, whatever they want to call it, just the mark on the street, they'd say Conner McGregor, right? That's probably the biggest name right now. Maybe I can't think of too many contemporary U.S. fighters because like many people, you have seen it board me for a while, but he's still one of the names in the public.

Which is why he's probably never going to do anything anymore. But okay, you got Conner McGregor in a big fight on a big show and you've booked him against a guy named Joe that said four fights.

Conner McGregor against Joe, but then they have the press conference. And at the press conference, as sometimes they do and the UFC or things like this, things escalate.

And it gets physical and one of the guys knocks the other guy on his ass. Does it make you want to see that fight more? If Conner McGregor knocks Joe on his ass, or if Joe knocks Conner McGregor on his ass? If Unknown Joe knocks Conner McGregor on his ass, that's the story. I rest my case. There's no comparison with this in Hogan Andre again to completely different situations. It can't just be. They're all big, so it's the same situation completely different. This is what I had to deal with for so long and people wonder why I'm mentally impaired. All righty.

And they had a bunch of other shit on raw. But one thing that I want to make mention of before we get to our main event of the evening.

“Our boy Dan Housing was in a backstage segment again. That's what he's been doing, but he gets a fucking giant pop now from the crowd that's watching on the screen in the arena when he appears in one of these backstage.”

It's a phenomenon that I'm starting to recognize, but still have yet to fully understand. It's a good look in T-shirt. Everybody loves the creature features, the horror movie host, the quirky characters. I don't know how it applies to the wrestling program. But to people, the people love him, Brenda people, the cult of Dan Housing out there.

Yes, they, you know, he debuted and he's been used just at the most maybe two minutes on SmackDown or raw since.

He gets a big pop. They've gotten you our cursed over. If that things happened that could or could not play into the curse, the misses might going down, don't losing the title. It could be coincidence. You know, I brought up, you know, he hasn't really explained what his motivation is when he says, why don't we team up to people. Someone pointed out and they were right way back when we played his cameos. He explained it.

He's into it for the money. Everything he's doing is for the money and the gold and everything. So it makes sense. He gets a big pop. They've been doing it now two weeks in a row where he comes out during a commercial break.

“I think this week he had a cannon to shoot T-shirts into the crowd and it gets a big reaction.”

And the social media clip of him doing something pretty basic throwing T-shirts into the crowd is getting a lot of attention because people right now after that initial debut. I want to see him and I guess you could argue maybe WWE is handling this right. Maybe they're not giving too much Dan housing. It's just a little bit here and a little bit there. He's the lead and drop of Dan has.

Unlike a orange Cassidy or an L is art, that was I did it again. The loser guy, iguana. He actually has material. He's actually a sharp guy. You could tell not that L is art is not a sharp guy, but we don't know. He's not doing it too. He don't need to worry about hurtness feelings at this point. You know, but basically, but you could tell this is a sharp guy with comedic instincts and they're using him just a little bit here a little bit there with mostly comedic based characters in the back from coffee Kingston to the Miz.

And he's getting over with these fans.

“Well, and that's what they had coffee was in the back given Javan some basically telling him what to do and Javan was like, well, I don't want anything to do with you.”

He walked off and Grayson Waller came in, but it didn't look like that they were getting along too well, Waller and coffee. And then suddenly again from stage left, they noticed Dan House, ah, they did, oh, he's there and they get to big pop from the people in the building and Dan House, it wasn't what about being a member of the new day. And coffee blew him off and wanted him to leave. And Dan House and did the theory of start and draw back at you are and.

I'm wondering, like you, how they're going to apply this at some point or is he just the empish.

You know, person that inhabits backstage every once in a while or does he get two minutes with Dan House and in some fashion to. I don't know, I mean, eventually you got to think he's going to work a match. He is a wrestler although a smaller guy. He's a wrestler. I don't know whether that that might kill the whole deal because then they've got to they're probably going to. They'll have a higher probability of hooting at him as a. Not up to fucking WWE standard wrestler possibly that is a fucking quirky funny character around it.

“I still remember that one spot he did we saw and ring him on or where he went to the floor and he got himself between the ring and the apron and he just popped his head up and was like, ah.”

I mean, I bet you do something. I don't know, maybe it'll be like a tag match with our truth or just something to keep all the comedy guys together, but he's over right now.

We took back the idea that anyone who comes out of a box is over. Maybe we were premature.

Well, I think both of those things can be true on that night. He wasn't over because of the situation, but it was neither his fault nor the boxes. The box was in innocent victim and all this Brian. The box had no agency over their own free will. Well, yeah, did you see deep subject as a lowly would say, did you see Penta versus dragon way of really good match here? Well, I'll take your word for it. Because I think that's something about the plumber happened right about then. What about me? And I'm not that one. The one that actually called to come to my house and fix something rather than.

You need me to adjust your pipe. Please don't. I'll just kill you. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't give.

“Is there somewhere another that Moxley can start a service at Lee in the Cincinnati area where he'll come to your house and bleed for you for a certain amount of money?”

I'll likely put my name on it, but it'll be Wheeler and Garcia. I'll be the lead coming to your house, but I'll be in the commercials. We're the pinch bleeders, but where would you like his to bleed, man? Yeah. Well, there was the big main event, Brian.

I did take a peek at that. Roman Reigns and one of his contract mandated appearances as well as see him punk the fighting champion who comes to work every week. He's a work in man. He's got a lunch box where he goes to work. He's he's just, you know, he's just like you and me making millions of dollars. Did you see everything throughout the show with Roman Reigns and the Usos because although not exactly like it was kind of a throwback to the peak of the bloodline where all throughout the show they were these segments with Roman and his family.

Building into what was going to happen at the end of the show.

“Yeah, because they're, they're all wondering who's on who's sat in who's telling who what to do and and LA night I believe is going to stir some shit.”

I saw that one also where LA night is probably going to stir some shit up between you. So it's because he got a fist bump from one of them, but he got a teeth grit from the other one. And I think it was it was Jimmy was the fist bumper and Jay was the teeth greater. Right, we haven't heard the word "Eat" in a few weeks and that's been a nice relief and obviously God if he's going to be more serious he shouldn't be saying "Eat" so it works out there. Roman called for any Simone wrestler to beat up Sam Punk earlier in the show.

What did you hear later, LA this interview where we're punk said I'm not going to call you by your real name because I like as Simone named Joe.

That was a great lie, but the first lady goes, "What did he say?" He's like, "I'm not going to call you by your real name, tattooty or whatever it is."

I'm not even going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not even going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not even going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not even going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not even going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is.

I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is.

I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is.

“I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is.”

I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is.

I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. I'm not going to call you by your real name tattooty or whatever it is. It shows who show this is and I close the show and it will feel it gets a little confused. He thinks it is his show. He is so condescending.

That is why God is such a good heal. But in this instance, it still works. It is him. And he called fill out the handles and business and the fans are chasing him. They have not turned on either guy in a major way so far.

Because neither one of them has acted dishonorably in the term of who they are supposed to be. Brian, does that make any sense? Yeah, and it was a weird dynamic because both guys got big baby face pops whenever they talk to the audience. And then the other guy would do it. So we go back and forth.

And they're still going to as long as that's the thing with every. I will say every with many. Confrontations between. Top baby faces. There's always.

There's always something said or done that people think that was kind of out of the way, right?

And trying to make it.

“And that's why that they tend to swing and one direction.”

Yeah, there's why Vince senior didn't want to do. Andre and Bruno is like, he's not worth it. Oh, why did I say Vince senior at an Italian accent? It's not worth it. Vince senior is not Italian.

But these guys are being themselves and they don't like each other. And they haven't. And they've got history of it. And you know, it's working. So punk comes out.

And they're changing him and right on cue. And the fans are singing the song. And he smiled. And he took his time. No hurry at all.

He's playing the mind games.

“He's shaking hands in the crowd and getting on the desk.”

He couldn't back around the ring. They got face to face in the ring 11 minutes and 30 seconds after the segment had started. But then the people are going for crazy. So they went back and forth again. Roman is like, it's my ring.

It's my main event. And that's when punk did the. Your name is to laugh a lot. Or laugh a lot. Or whatever.

And they just got them to chant for each of themselves. However, that grammar is supposed to work. And it Romans have filled you. I've made a minute. Anything.

And Phil said that Roman was to chicken shit to show up last week. And. They started arguing about the usos.

And finally, Roman cut to promo.

This is obviously this is bullshit. Don't waste my time. Phil started to leave punk blocked him. Wouldn't let him leave. And as I tell you, when you can go and young boy now's not the time.

And oh, and Romans, the facials on Roman are great. When you can see the wheels turning his head. About what, you know, what should I fucking think about this. And then they again, they went back and forth and then finally. After all of these pointed comments, but.

If this is where they're going, I can kind of see it. What finally got punk to punch Roman was when Roman said it. I'm better than you in every way. You can talk, but you can't walk. And at the end of the day, you're old and.

He's a push demon of face and at that point, here comes Adam Pierce and the agents and Roman was laying there smiling. He got him all the time punk was saying that he was in Roman's head. Roman got into put in blah, blah, blah, blah. And so the officials are taking punk out and Roman was in to ring happy.

As some people said, oh, you never call the baby face old.

“Well, potentially, it wasn't, it was me talking about Mr. wrestling to and his 50s in Louisiana.”

Yes, that was a touch he subject may have been the case, but. There, within six or seven years, the same age of each other. I'm pretty sure these two guys. But Roman is just he's disrespecting punk as the older generation. And also is that the point that Roman's going to start trying to drive in to get into his head is that his punk.

Gonna have the doubt that he's the old gun slinger and there's going to be somebody faster. And because he is acknowledges that he's. He'll work a few more years and how every feels. And I'm sure there'll be no. You know, immediate financial problems in the punk household. But it will they make that his weak spot where.

The younger guys can get at him. Hey, old man.

“And he has to fucking dig down and you know what I'm saying.”

Yeah, I don't know how I feel about that. Obviously, they needed something to be the trigger to get punk upset. But hitting him with your old. I mean, Romans 40. I know punk's 47. But it's not like a young guy saying it. They like the equal man of gray hair and their beard.

You know, it's not some kid saying it. It's Roman Reigns was never there.

I don't know. You know, I thought this week was really good. I just didn't like that one thing at the end. To what you're saying, I would almost be fearful that would happen. I don't think it's helpful for a baby face CM Punk if he's going to remain a baby face to be the old man. Because he doesn't really look at. I know he's been around a long time.

And you think about like, well, he must be older. But he's got a fresh coat of paint and his hair or whatever. I mean, he looks young. He looks I should say young, but he doesn't look remarkably older than Roman Reigns. No, but what I'm saying is that. The old vence thing perception is reality.

Because Punk was in the main events. What six, seven years, whatever period was. That's a lifetime for the wrestling fans. Before Roman was, they believe that he's of the previous generation. If what I'm saying is not that Punk would then come out and admit, yeah, I'm fucking done.

I've over the else shit's followed off of the everywhere. No, he would make that his his. The only reason I can think of why he would punch the guy on your old as the ultimate of insult is that may be his middle weak spot, which is where he launches a campaign show. I'm not fucking over the hill. I'm going to be as good as I ever was. I'm still the greatest of all time. I'm going to defy a father. The positive aspect of that after Roman gets into a skin like that, not to just roll over and go and then prove it.

If he's, you know, he's the champion. He's proved it. I mean, it's one thing of he was chasing the champion. He got called the old and he has to overcome that, but he's overcome it. He's the world champion. He's overcome it.

“That's what I'm saying because I don't, I don't think.”

I don't believe that they will put the belt on Roman who, again, as we've noted appears in or mentally rather than punk. So I think punk is going to the old man's magic kick your ass. It's what I'm saying to you. Again, we'll see. I'm not sure how I'm not saying it. Everybody that comes long for the next bucket of six months. By the way, here are all other fucker. I've talked about is this the issue here.

It just seems like a weird trigger. Again, Roman reign does not some 30-year-old wrestler. Saying it to him. If MJF had said that to CM Punk four years ago, whatever, it hits differently then.

Roman reigns who, you know, minus the first few years has been in WWE.

I mean, he started right before punk left. He's been there forever too. So again, they needed something to be the trigger. It just to me, I felt weird that that was the trigger in this situation with these guys. And it seems like there's something brewing obviously with the usows and Roman and punk. And let's see an LA night maybe in the mix too.

So we'll see. And then I guess they tease the idea of the vision versus the usows. But what do you feel about the main event? Well, and that's unfortunately with the Austin, Austin theory and Logan Paul being the last remaining people

They almost have to go back and do what they did with a breaker and read and put the tag team belts on them to give them something to show that they are.

Championship quality, caliber, whatever it might elevate the tag team title of Logan Paul's a part of it right now.

“But I think, you know, that may be where they're going with the usows, but independently of that.”

Do we. Do we have the usows see the the problem I think some of this teasing is if the bloodline was great, but if his bloodline too going to be as good of a sequel if they start having. The usows on different sides of each other or different opinions on who needs to be told what to do by who and.

You know, who's taken up for the family.

That was what made it good before, but all that stuff is kind of been. Settled to the point where is it going to look like a rehash.

“Well, we shall see that was the main event that sound like hash.”

It I wish I had some hair right now, but that was the main event of. The main.
