2
00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:20.839
Everybody, welcome. So this week's just this still real not

3
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:25.399
show Epsomber seven and seventy Vember fourteen, two Thousan twenty four,

4
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.600
Welcome to this week's edition of ass R TEA years

5
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:33.920
I am one after the show, I am Jack pack

6
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.880
joined every single week from my closet one of Doctor

7
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.240
frank landon Doctor Trade. This was the first time that

8
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.719
I spent just cleaving the baby spit up before the show.

9
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:49.000
My friend, Oh, so you told me what happened before

10
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:49.719
the show started.

11
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.759
Did you make your kid watch aw or something? Is that? Why?

12
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.320
Is that why he vomited all over the recording studio

13
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:56.520
so that way you couldn't do the show.

14
00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:00.399
Yeah, about two three minutes before I had sit down

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.239
on record, just I was holding them and I just

16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:08.280
started hearing burping, wet purping, and looked down. I was like,

17
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.640
all right, I don't see either of my clothes. Looked

18
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:12.640
down a little bit more. I'm like, oh, it's all

19
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.680
over the floor, it's all over him, and it's a

20
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.000
right where I need to record tonight. So the upside.

21
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.599
Is dog and this is where dogs can't come in

22
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:25.000
handy all those gross as hell and you never will

23
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:26.760
like let your dog into your face again.

24
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:28.079
Dogs love spit.

25
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:32.120
Up really Okay, I guess it's a form of liquid, right.

26
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.159
Yeah, So they'll come through there and they'll take care

27
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:38.079
of a lot of it for you. So but just you

28
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:39.680
look at your dog, go, I love you, but you're

29
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:42.680
not coming near my face again for quite some time.

30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:48.959
Who needs the farmer's dog or blue buffalo or wellness

31
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.079
when you've got your own child's throw up?

32
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:56.400
Yeah, is crazy, something like I love because we have

33
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.439
the inside dog, and we have the outside dog, our

34
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:00.799
pyreentees that guards our little farm, and then we have

35
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:03.480
the bulldog on the inside, which people have heard him

36
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.079
snore and fart on the show before. But the other

37
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:08.520
great thing about that is they're also like garbage disposals

38
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.560
because like you got some leftovers, Oh, we have a dog,

39
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.039
we don't have to throw this out, give.

40
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:19.080
It to the dog. So yeah, it's great on some levels.

41
00:02:19.159 --> 00:02:21.639
And then but they come in handy when your kid

42
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:23.759
decides he wants to vomit all over the floor.

43
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.400
Yeah. No, it's one part domestic and animal, a second

44
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:33.280
part vacuum cleaner. So yeah, that is the life and

45
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.560
times of being a parent. It's been fun. I was

46
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:40.439
telling Doctor Trey before or doctor Trey knows I am

47
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.680
coming in from vacation. So spent a couple of days

48
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:47.039
down in Disney World with my son, my wife, son's

49
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.240
first trip in Disney, four and a half month old.

50
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.639
I was scared shitless, doctor Trey of traveling with a

51
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.759
child on a plane, And thankfully he was fantastic. He slept,

52
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.319
got fussy a little bit on the way home, but

53
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.319
that was really it. He was. He was great. I

54
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:07.479
lucked out, and I guess that has just prepared me

55
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.080
for when he can like walk and really become a

56
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:11.159
menace on an airplane.

57
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.439
Was he was your fear actual him being in pain?

58
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.120
Or was your fear him being an annoyance to other

59
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.599
people and that causing uh, like a it was air

60
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.400
rage battle or something where you know, somebody yells about

61
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:26.400
the kid. I'm playing us send for your kid. What

62
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:28.560
was it the what factor was it?

63
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.319
The edge of scared?

64
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.520
I think it's a little fifty to fifty right because

65
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.000
you don't know, Like I don't know what it was

66
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.599
like for you with your two children, But like anything

67
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.360
that happens, I'm like, is this hurting him? Like loud music.

68
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:42.479
Is it hurting him? Do I got to put the

69
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.080
headphones on? Is there any issues with you know, sending

70
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.879
and getting ready for landing in the planes, because I

71
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.719
don't know about other people, but especially when I have allergies,

72
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.960
it takes forever for my ears to pop, Like has

73
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.039
he got to be hurting from this? Yeah? And then

74
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.159
of course you don't want to cry because then you've

75
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.599
got some jackasset's kind to say something. So I guess

76
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:06.759
it was fifty to fifty of both. Yeah.

77
00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.159
I know my young like Sammy Sammy Franklin has not

78
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.719
been on a plane yet, so I haven't, but I

79
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.400
did that with my olt with my daughter, like she's

80
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:17.279
been on a couple of flights when she was very little.

81
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:18.600
It's the same thing.

82
00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.560
Like I was worried about, like hers is more than

83
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.759
ear popping because she had she had, you know, have

84
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:26.120
tubes put her ears, so she had very nearrow ear canal.

85
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.759
So I was worried about that. Uh.

86
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.839
And then also like I was like, yeah, if anybody

87
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.120
yells at my daughter for crying on this plane, I

88
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:34.360
am going to jump over a seat and punch them

89
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.439
because I'm literally it was like a one to eighty.

90
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.879
Like before she came along, I was like, got like, jeez, kitch,

91
00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:42.279
is quiet your kid up? And then when I had

92
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.319
a kid, I'm like, no, you really can't. There is

93
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.439
no volume control on a child. There's no on off switch.

94
00:04:47.600 --> 00:04:48.959
It is they are going to be loud if they

95
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.399
want to be loud, and they are going to be

96
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:52.720
quiet if they want to be quiet, and you just

97
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:54.160
have to suffer the consequences.

98
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:59.439
So it's a complete one eighty versial for from when you.

99
00:04:59.519 --> 00:04:59.959
Have no kid.

100
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.759
Is that when you actually have an diffident and you

101
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:04.199
know you and I have joked about this on the

102
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.720
show before, like when you the first time you drive

103
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.879
your kid home from the hospital, you do like thirty

104
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:10.160
miles an hour on the interstate.

105
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:11.839
It's it's literally the same thing.

106
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.600
Like that switch just comes out of nowhere and you're like, look,

107
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.199
I swear I don't like people coming near my kid.

108
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:21.519
Like people used to come.

109
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.240
Up to my daughter when she was like a baby

110
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.879
and go, oh what the cues baby ever, and like

111
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.319
wouldn't want to put their hands into the stroller to

112
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.279
touch them, Like I got it.

113
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:29.800
That's weird.

114
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:32.759
Yeah, yeah, even now like today we went to the

115
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.639
store being Sanny and he picked up a little toy

116
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.519
and we're walking out the door and this lady's like,

117
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.879
oh my god, he is just the most handsome little

118
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:43.480
boy ever. And she started to like reach out for him,

119
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:45.480
and I'm like, I will cut you, old lady. I

120
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:48.199
don't care what you think this is. You can't touch

121
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:48.560
my kid.

122
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.360
So yeah, but what if she was actually racing for you?

123
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.160
I have to get permission from my wife.

124
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.319
Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. We did have a

125
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.600
moment where and I only found out about this like

126
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.279
towards the end of flight. But I guess when my

127
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.199
wife and I were getting on the plane, this couple

128
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:11.240
was like say, talking to one another's we got on

129
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.560
the plane and I couldn't I didn't hear them, and

130
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.439
I guess the husband said, that's asking for trouble, and

131
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.279
then the wife said they're gonna do what they're gonna

132
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.079
want to do and like roll her eyes. And my

133
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.759
wife only told me about this like three quarters of

134
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:29.959
the way through the flight, like somebody said that about us,

135
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.720
because I think in the moment, if it happened, and

136
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.399
I would have been like, what the fuck's your problem?

137
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:38.160
Because I have like zero tolerance for just like rude

138
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.319
people at all, Like I will absolutely like call you

139
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:45.160
out immediately. So I was like, who said this? And

140
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.680
she points them out and it's like this elderly couple

141
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.680
and I'm like, do I really want to, like when

142
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:53.639
I get off the plane be like, by the way,

143
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:57.319
fuck you to an elderly couple. So I guess this

144
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.439
is growth, doctor Trey, because I was just like, you know,

145
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.720
what to go, this is just elderly people being elderly people.

146
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:05.120
But yeah, no, I mean I was in that position

147
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.040
where it's like mind your own business, like what what

148
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:10.879
the hell does it matter to you? In the travel

149
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:15.319
And quite honestly, it was fine, no issues. They were

150
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.680
very far up ahead of the plane so they didn't

151
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.800
have to deal with it anyway if anything happened. But

152
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.480
it's like, what makes people think that they can a

153
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.319
like touch your kid if they think they're cute or

154
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.759
be common on your kid. It's like, that's a bizarre

155
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.079
life of parenthood. I guess huh it is.

156
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.319
And it's one of those things where it's just like

157
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.720
just like as you get older, I'm sure you're running

158
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:39.920
it down, Like I get more irritated at stupid people

159
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.079
year after year after year, like bad parking jobs, or

160
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:46.160
the person who drives the wrong way in a parking lot,

161
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.279
like there's an arrow pointing one way and you're driving

162
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:50.839
the other way, Like that's there. But when it comes

163
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.199
to my kids, yeah, I get absolutely irritated, like right away.

164
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.199
But then I also don't want to set a bad

165
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.279
example as the parent who goes around like punching other

166
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.800
parents or you know, cussing out old people in front

167
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:03.160
of my kid.

168
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.040
Like Sammy will correct.

169
00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.279
Me if I say a bad word at all now

170
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:09.360
and he's like, you can't say that, and I'm like, oh, no,

171
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:10.439
I've earned this right.

172
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.920
But in protection of you, yeah, I can say whatever

173
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:14.480
I want.

174
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:17.680
But yeah, it's it's one of those weird things where like, man,

175
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.639
was was I that jerk in my twenties? Like you

176
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.600
know if a couple's like, oh, they're asking for it, Yeah,

177
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:25.160
you're absolutely right. I know the risks of taking my

178
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.079
child on a plane. I certainly I do, Like I

179
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:30.839
am prepared for the consequences of what comes into this battle.

180
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.879
I'm not going into this blindly, so I don't need

181
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:35.159
somebody commenting on it.

182
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:38.039
I'd be like, why don't you worry about you know, like, yeah,

183
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:39.279
like I am really.

184
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:42.360
Bad about like flaming somebody to the point where like

185
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.759
I am saying just really insensitive stuff, but in a

186
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:47.639
polite way where it takes them a little while to

187
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:49.840
realize how badly I flame them.

188
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:50.879
Like in that situation, I'm.

189
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:53.440
Like, why don't you worry about your plot in the

190
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:55.720
cemetery more so than whether or not I'm traveling with

191
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.159
a child?

192
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:59.559
Yeah? Absolutely, just mine run damn business. I think that's

193
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.879
the problem of a lot of people today in society.

194
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.799
And yeah, that was part of my day of travel

195
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:08.759
as I ended, of course obviously recording here this week's

196
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.399
edition of SRTU. Oh, I've got wrestling news here, doctor

197
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.240
try I've got a wrestling tie into my flying So

198
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.039
obviously flying out of Orlando Big Wrestling Hub a couple

199
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:20.559
of years ago, which I think I brought up on

200
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:28.200
the shell Shins k Nakamora, like Jason Jordan, Bobby Rude.

201
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.759
There was like a bunch of NX stars at the

202
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.360
time they were in NXT. I think shinsk just got

203
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:36.440
called up to SmackDown. We're flying out of Orlando to

204
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:39.279
that night show and SmackDown and like I you know,

205
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.440
fanboying out and they weren't on my plane. It was

206
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.720
I was very upset about that, but I was fanboying out.

207
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.919
I'm walking through Orlando International Airport today and I saw

208
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:54.000
aw wrestler, a former NX Star, former nxt UK Tag

209
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.919
Team champion, the one and only James Drake, part of

210
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.440
Grizzled Young Veterans, walking around the airport going his flight,

211
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.200
which I assume. I believe Collision is being taped on

212
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.840
Thursday night, and they were being taped in Albany, so

213
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.399
I wonder if Frizzled Young Veterans is either doing the

214
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.679
Collision taping or are they Are they doing the roh taping?

215
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:13.480
But I was like, oh, that's cool, that's James Rake.

216
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:17.039
So it's funny you mentioned the Grizzled Young Bets because

217
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:20.000
I actually, uh got a sticker for my car, got it.

218
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:21.559
You know, I got a new car a few months ago.

219
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.679
You have to kind of decorate the car up to

220
00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.039
match it.

221
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.440
So I have a I have a bear on the

222
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.399
back of it, and I put Grizzled Old Man under

223
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.080
the sticker.

224
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.120
So because in honor of the Grizzled Young Bets.

225
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.200
But I was going to ask you about the Disney

226
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.000
World because in the past, also you ran into Kevin.

227
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:37.960
Oh was it Disney World.

228
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.559
I was going to ask if you had ran into anybody,

229
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:44.000
and then you let into the James Drake story.

230
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:46.600
So there you go. Yeah, no, no, no wrestlers in

231
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:51.159
Disney World. I saw Jason Kelsey's wife. I don't know

232
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:53.679
if that resonates with people who listen to wrestling podcasts,

233
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.039
but I'm like, why is that all? Lady looked familiar. Oh,

234
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:00.399
it's Jason Kelsey's wife. I was like, Oh, that's pretty cool. Actually,

235
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:06.440
I guess for music fans out there. I was walking

236
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.240
in the Magic Kingdom and we were walking to dinner

237
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.200
on Saturday night and they were taping the Disney Christmas

238
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.200
special that airs. I think one airs in the beginning

239
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.879
of December, first time frame, like on free Form they

240
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.039
do one at the beginning of the month, and then

241
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:26.120
the one that airs on Christmas Day, which was always

242
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.320
a tradition of my family, the Christmas Parade on ABC.

243
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.080
They take that like six weeks in advance, and we're

244
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.240
walking down the hill of the one side of the

245
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.159
Magic Kingdom going to dinner and somebody's performing. People are

246
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.080
going nuts. And what song do I hear being played?

247
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.080
But the one only tiny Dancer and freaking Elton John

248
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.879
is just tickling the ivories doctor Trey in the Magic Kingdom,

249
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.279
and like, people pay thousands of dollars for this and

250
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.440
I'm just nonchalantly running walking through the Magic Kingdom and

251
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.919
here he is playing Tiny Dancer.

252
00:11:59.120 --> 00:11:59.759
That's fantasy.

253
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.879
I always wondered why those people look so sad and

254
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.639
vacant during Christmas parades, and now that I know they're

255
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.879
taping it before Thanksgiving, Like, I don't know about you.

256
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.799
I don't get into the Christmas spirit till after Thanksgiving,

257
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.600
like these people who were like pro Christmas, like the

258
00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.919
day after Halloween. I don't get that, Like, no, no, no,

259
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.039
let me get a little bit old up. I got

260
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.240
to get my Thanksgiving meal in me before I really

261
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:23.399
get into the Christmas spirits.

262
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:27.480
I am a big time Christmas guy, but yeah, I

263
00:12:27.559 --> 00:12:30.759
am with you. It's the day after Thanksgiving where like

264
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:33.799
Christmas tree grows up, goes up, and obviously because of

265
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:36.200
the allergies, we do not do a normal Christmas tree

266
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.320
because I'm lame artificial. My friend also not a fire housard.

267
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.240
Thank God. That's the firefighter in me. But yeah, now

268
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.519
I in the day after Thanksgiving is when the when

269
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.200
the Christmas spirit starts with me. But it's getting there.

270
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.440
I've been I'm not gonna lie. I have been listening

271
00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.200
to a little bit of Christmas music here and there.

272
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:57.320
Yeah, it hit me.

273
00:12:57.519 --> 00:13:00.440
Tuesday, went to physical therapy. By the way, cleared to

274
00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:01.440
return to work.

275
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.519
On Monday, let's go.

276
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:08.480
But Tuesday, I'm in physical therapy and they were playing

277
00:13:08.519 --> 00:13:12.559
a prank on my therapist because my physical therapist is

278
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.679
kind of like the basically he's the Grinch of the

279
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:18.879
of the clinic. So he actually got through the same time,

280
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.039
like five minutes after I did. And when I walked in,

281
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.480
I got on EIDs Mike and I listen and they

282
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.879
have nothing but Christmas music playing. And I mean not

283
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.639
even the upbeat stuff like the bing Crosby's White Christmas

284
00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:33.159
and you know, the slow tempo stuff. And I'm like,

285
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:36.440
I can't be doing therapy to this slow of music.

286
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.399
This will actually put me to sleep. And then I

287
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:42.200
found out they were pranking my therapist because he's such

288
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:44.440
a grinch, that all the girls got together to just

289
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.360
like basically they put up the Christmas tree. They had

290
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:51.759
a girl and they're painting the Christmas decor scene on

291
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:54.919
the front window they're playing. He just walked in and

292
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:56.639
looked around, and I swear to God that he was

293
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:58.840
gonna walk back out because he was that irritated. And

294
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.200
then they all just started laughing at them, and thank

295
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.840
god they changed the music, because it is really hard

296
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.639
to be on the station your bike for fifteen minutes

297
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:10.799
listening to Bing Crosby and those guys sing really slow

298
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:11.519
Christmas songs.

299
00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.600
Yeah. No, that is not a pump up gym at all.

300
00:14:14.679 --> 00:14:16.919
That is not like listen putting the Black Eyed Peas

301
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.039
in your headphones. S I have to train. Just freaking

302
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:19.879
out right, man.

303
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:20.840
I told them.

304
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:22.679
I was like, look, IS said, I have never worn

305
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.519
earbuds or air pods or anything like that into physical therapy.

306
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:27.799
I said, but if this is the music that you

307
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.320
guys are being playing for the next month and a half,

308
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.360
because I still have six more visits to the therapy,

309
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:34.840
I'm like, I will be bringing in my own headphones

310
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.039
because I can't do it. I am not one of

311
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:41.159
those those chip or happy people. At eight thirty in

312
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:44.000
the morning, I just dropped off a child that had

313
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:47.200
to deal with the school Line traffic. So yeah, I'm

314
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.080
not in a good place that early. So I need

315
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:52.000
some either angry music or up tempo music to get

316
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.799
my day going.

317
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.039
Or a little degeneration X music because I could be

318
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:00.039
down with that. Give me some wrestling theme music. I

319
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.720
would love to see the Final Bosses the Rocks new

320
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:05.759
theme song up on Apple Music. I always looked for that.

321
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.559
There's a lot of fake versions of it, and I

322
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:12.200
think that could be added to the playlist. So maybe maybe,

323
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.000
ye know, if the Christmas music is still being played,

324
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.840
you put a little motor Head in there, you put

325
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.720
a little New Day maybe what's what's another song that

326
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:22.799
gets you going? A Bailey the NXC theme.

327
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:27.799
I did stumble across the original K Quick road Dog

328
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.200
getting rowdy jam.

329
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.639
Yeah, with a little bit of to the background of it.

330
00:15:32.159 --> 00:15:32.600
So good.

331
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:36.440
Yeah, I remember that the now I'm looking forward right now,

332
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:37.559
let's see if it's even on.

333
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:40.679
I found a clip it was basically because it was

334
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:45.000
something like twenty K Quick's debut in.

335
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:59.840
Somebody this version. Yeah, oh it's this is the unhinged

336
00:15:59.879 --> 00:16:03.159
verse or you were saying, but it's.

337
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.519
Then it's like because remember they had that whole like

338
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:09.080
New metal wrap crossoorder really big around two thousand, So

339
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.600
that's always stuff that's like in my Uh, you hit

340
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.159
that certain age and your music's your music taste, just

341
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:15.720
lock in.

342
00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:18.480
That's in my musical genre that's locked into me.

343
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.240
It's like that whole grunge into new metal hip hop

344
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:24.960
crossover stuff from late nineties early two thousands.

345
00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:29.600
Are they were they doing something? Was that when they

346
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.120
were doing the Disturbed and liked, uh, Saliva was covered

347
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.480
like a Jericho song that unhinched or was that a

348
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.960
completely different album.

349
00:16:39.799 --> 00:16:42.600
That was Uh gee, I can't remember because that's when

350
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:45.879
the Run DMC down with the Kings d X version game.

351
00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:48.279
That was the that was Aggression, right. I think that

352
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.279
album was called.

353
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:52.440
Yeah, I think you're absolutely right, but that was in

354
00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:56.799
that timeframe, so uh, that song was out after Aggression

355
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:59.480
because road Dog had broke away from DX and was

356
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:01.200
going solo and then they pared him accay.

357
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.200
Quick so but then he got fired.

358
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.720
Yeah, but that was that same style of music. Was

359
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.640
that rap rock crossover stuff.

360
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:12.680
I had this album yep, I do too Run DMC

361
00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:13.920
and d X.

362
00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:18.960
Which I believe if I'm not if I'm not a saken,

363
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.079
that this was his favorite version of the DX songs.

364
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:28.319
Really and I also uh for fans of rot music.

365
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.640
I believe it was the last song jam Aster Jay

366
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:32.720
Dan with run DMC before being murdered.

367
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:36.400
Yeah, because he died shortly there after this song got released.

368
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:40.440
Yeah, yeah, it was uh man I later on, I

369
00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.880
want to bring that. I guess we're kind of like

370
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.759
blended into it. I want to bring up with some

371
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:48.119
stuff that you like miss from most about your wrestling fandom,

372
00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.440
and it is stuff like that like buying the albums,

373
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:53.960
buying the video games. As part of that, I'm gonna

374
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:55.839
pause on that. We'll get to that later on in

375
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:58.319
the show. Let's talk about some things that are going

376
00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.480
on in the world professional wrestling right now. To Trey,

377
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.200
the big thing from SmackDown, the OG Bloodline, Sammy's ain

378
00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:09.240
Jay So, Jimmy So Roman reigns. They have reunited. It

379
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.000
partially carried over to Raw on Monday night as they

380
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:14.279
were looking for a fifth guy. It'll be a five

381
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:18.960
on five match OG Bloodline versus the New Bloodline, TMU Bloodline,

382
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.359
Bloodline two point zero, whatever you want to call them,

383
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:28.119
in the War Games match. We've been critical of this build,

384
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.880
how they were going to get there. They got a

385
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.359
gigantic pop on Friday night, Doctor Trey. Did you like

386
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.920
how they got Sammy z Ain back into the fold

387
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.079
with the og bloodline?

388
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.680
I mean, I'm happy they're all back together.

389
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:47.039
I do still feel like it's a little rushed and

390
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.480
a little bit of water under the bridge.

391
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.240
Too quick for me.

392
00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:54.720
I mean, the Sammy Roman stuff was so brutal and

393
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:58.519
violent at times, and you know, all that stuff like

394
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.640
to let it slide, I'd buy within a couple of

395
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:05.759
weeks seems a bit far fetched, even this stuff, I mean,

396
00:19:05.960 --> 00:19:09.440
Jay's breakup I mean with Jimmy was pretty bad. I mean,

397
00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:13.200
Jimmy interfered in so many matches lead against WrestleMania. It

398
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.519
just seems like the forgiveness factor is is pretty quick.

399
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:21.400
But then again, I don't come from a family where

400
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.839
we forgive very easily, Like if one of us gets

401
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.519
makes you mad, we're mad for years.

402
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.319
Like it takes forever for our family to go for stuff.

403
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:35.000
Maybe some moments are a little bit more you know,

404
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:40.359
forgiving than I previously thought, but you know, it's it

405
00:19:40.759 --> 00:19:44.039
just makes me feel kind of like that they're just letting,

406
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:47.440
like letting bygones be bygones a little too quickly to

407
00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:50.279
be this happy together. But you still see this some

408
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.200
of the at least they're leaving some of the tension

409
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.559
there between Sammy and Jimmy and Sammy and Roman, because

410
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:59.680
that makes the most sense to me, because Sammy's breakup

411
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.319
with them was the most you know, I guess violent

412
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:06.480
or disheartening part of the whole Bloodline breakup originally.

413
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.720
Anyway, the thing that bothered I agree with you, I

414
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.279
think it was it's it's been rush but it's like

415
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.200
one of those things where it's like we talk about

416
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.160
the slow burn. We love it, but can we forgive

417
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.519
when they rush through things and when it's like things

418
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:25.599
that you want to see, like a reunion the og

419
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:27.680
blood Line is is a reunion I want to see

420
00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.839
in professional wrestling, and I'm like very split on it.

421
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.359
I would have liked that Sammy Zane joined rejoined forces

422
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.640
with a Bloodline in that opening segment. If Roman reigns

423
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:43.319
apologized to Jay right that to me, if you do

424
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:47.240
that right then and there, then maybe have like Solo

425
00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:50.200
come out interrupt it, and there's this weird quasis always

426
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:55.319
the ins arial the save Solos, thinking that Samy's going

427
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.599
to be part of their team. It's like, I don't know.

428
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.039
I mean, WW has been so good and they're doing

429
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:02.839
such a good job with a lot of fus right

430
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.599
now Orton and Kevin Owens and then Cody's in the

431
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:09.000
background of that, Bronson Reed and Seth Rollins. Even the

432
00:21:09.039 --> 00:21:11.160
stuff for the Final Testament and Why It's six has

433
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:14.039
been really good. It's like this is one of the

434
00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:18.359
major focal points and it's like they're they're hitting it

435
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:20.799
out of the park, but they're leaving me wanting more

436
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:24.759
because it's been rushed. Uh. And it's just like there

437
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.720
was such bad blood when when Sammy Zane left the

438
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.079
bloodline that all of a sudden because Jays like, I

439
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.480
don't know, it's different, like you should be there that

440
00:21:35.599 --> 00:21:39.480
it's okay, It's just it's leaving me wanting more, not

441
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.079
to try. I love the moment at the end of

442
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:43.119
the show, but I'm like, man, I need a little

443
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:46.000
bit more to this and maybe they can salvage that

444
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.880
on a couple episodes of SmackDown heading into War Games.

445
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:52.759
Yeah, I mean to me, like like when you said

446
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:54.240
they're you know, they're hitting out of the park, but

447
00:21:54.319 --> 00:21:55.640
to me, it's like they're hitting out of the park,

448
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:58.000
but it's home run Derby. You know, this is not

449
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.400
Freddie Freeman Grand Slam bomba the ninth.

450
00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:01.359
You know.

451
00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.079
It's like, yeah, they're getting out of the park, but

452
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.759
it's most because it's wind assistance, because we want it

453
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.359
to happen, not so much because they're making us want

454
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:14.000
it to happen. I guess that makes sense. Like it's

455
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.720
it's like, we want to get there anyway. We just

456
00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:19.440
want to get there. We don't care how we get there,

457
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.880
we just want to get there. I think the fifth

458
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.720
member angle will be pretty interesting leading into wargames and

459
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.039
how they how they work this out.

460
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:29.599
But we've seen it so many times before.

461
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:31.680
It like we all wanted the Shield to get back together,

462
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.880
and those guys literally beat the hell out of each other.

463
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.400
I mean not so much Roman and Ambrose, but Ambrose

464
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:41.319
and Rollin's Roman and Rollins. Those guys beat the hell

465
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:43.319
each other and then they get back together, and we're like, yeah,

466
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:44.480
we just want them to get back together.

467
00:22:44.559 --> 00:22:46.440
We kind of overlooked, you.

468
00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:51.440
Know, all the brutality, like Rollin stumped Ambrose's head into

469
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:53.880
a cinder block at one point, and then it was

470
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:55.880
like six months later, they're tagging together again.

471
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.839
It's like, yeah, we kind of overlook stuff if it's

472
00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.920
convenient for uh.

473
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:02.000
I mean, it's one of those things that we can

474
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.039
go back years later and kind of go, I wish

475
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:05.920
they could have built it longer. So in the moment,

476
00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:08.599
I think we all could agree, like I wish this

477
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:13.079
bill that started maybe a month earlier, and at least

478
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:14.680
there would be a little more depth to the build.

479
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:16.960
But at the end of the day, we all just

480
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:18.960
want this to happen, so I don't think we care

481
00:23:19.039 --> 00:23:19.759
how it's happening.

482
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.359
Yeah, yeah, that's what That's how I feel about. It's like, oh, man,

483
00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:27.240
I sound hypocritical, but it's like, yeah, no, I want

484
00:23:27.279 --> 00:23:29.799
it to happen, so I'm happy it's happening. I just

485
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.880
wish I wish the build was a little bit better.

486
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.519
And that's the other part of this entire story right

487
00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:39.200
now is this fifth guy angle, which I thought they

488
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:43.640
would have gone four on four. I think from Solo's standpoint,

489
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:49.240
I would imagine and you've got Hiccoleo reportedly on you

490
00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.400
know the roster, this is the time that you bring

491
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:55.920
him on into the og bloodline. There were some rumblings

492
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:58.960
that he may end up on an XT brand, which

493
00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:02.039
didn't make a lot of sense to me, Like, okay,

494
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:05.480
maybe you go to the Hiccolo route, the og bloodline.

495
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:08.079
I don't know who the fit is, Like, is it

496
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:11.400
is it Seth? Like? Does Seth go down the path

497
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:16.039
of of Sammy Zain? Is there is there anyone else

498
00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:19.319
that could go side by side here? Does do we

499
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:21.440
throw out the wild card in this entire thing? Does

500
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:25.359
the Final Boss make a return to Survivor series and

501
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.000
tag with one of these teams?

502
00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:27.160
Like?

503
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.440
What is the angle that w could play? There? Doctory

504
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:31.119
with the fifth guy?

505
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:34.640
So I think the obvious things are either as going

506
00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:38.160
to be like Cody. I mean, it's gonna be Seth

507
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.759
and Bronson because it helps.

508
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:41.880
Yeah, that's a good point.

509
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.759
I know Bronson's Australian, but dear God, Jeff, that man

510
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.559
looks Samoan.

511
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:50.079
He looks like he fits in with those guys.

512
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:54.440
And then you get the deception or the cross pro

513
00:24:54.799 --> 00:24:57.839
the cross shield stuff with Roman and Seth and you

514
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:00.400
know their distrust and all that stuff. You can line

515
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:03.480
that up, you could line up in a sense I

516
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.319
would be I would love to see Randy and Ko

517
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.319
get factored into this and Ko decides, you know, like

518
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:13.880
they like you know, Pierce and all this are peer

519
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.119
or all. This just throws Ko into in with the

520
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.960
OG bloodline because at the end of the day, Ko

521
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.400
still wants revenge on Roman in the blood line. So

522
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:25.759
if he teams with Solo and the other three some

523
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:28.640
moments who he doesn't have an issue with, and then

524
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:32.519
you have the cross of Randy signing with the OG bloodline,

525
00:25:32.559 --> 00:25:35.920
who cost him eighteen months of his career, Like, there

526
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:37.920
are some angles in here where you're like, man, this

527
00:25:38.359 --> 00:25:41.359
could play out and be pretty cool. I still think

528
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.279
there's gonna like Randy and Ko will be off on

529
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.720
their own thing and we'll get Seth and Bronson. But

530
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:48.559
Cody and Roman teamed up a couple of months ago,

531
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:50.759
so you can always throw Cody and Ko into this mix,

532
00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.519
or Cody in the Final Boss if they went that route.

533
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:57.119
So there are some intriguing angles to play with this.

534
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.880
That would look really kind of at the end of

535
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:04.319
the day, for me, would make Kevin look like he's right,

536
00:26:04.440 --> 00:26:06.519
like his T shirt said on SmackDown.

537
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:09.440
Do you think they would go to Kevin Owens route

538
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.799
just because that would make him look like such a hypocrite.

539
00:26:13.920 --> 00:26:16.799
Not really, because he does it if he's on Solo's team,

540
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.839
he does his issues more with the USOS and Roman

541
00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:23.480
than it ever was with Solo, and he doesn't have

542
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:25.400
an issue with Jacob. I mean, I guess a little

543
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:28.440
bit when they when the new Bloodline showed up and

544
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:31.359
they were taking out Cody, Him and Randy, well.

545
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:33.119
Yeah that was the three on three matches.

546
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:35.160
Yeah, so I guess I guess in a sense it

547
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.359
would make him hypociral. So that that's why I like,

548
00:26:37.720 --> 00:26:39.359
I saw somebody talk about that. I was like, well,

549
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.119
I guess it would make sense on one level, and

550
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.519
I love the cross of Randy having to side with

551
00:26:44.720 --> 00:26:47.960
Roman and the USOS who literally did take him out

552
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.599
for eighteen months. But it also if you factor in Ko,

553
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.920
you have Ko against Sammy in that match as well,

554
00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:59.519
So that leads into the Kevin Owens conspiracy of like

555
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.279
every bud is like it was Ko who helped rescue

556
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.960
Sammy from the Bloodline for Sammy to go back to

557
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:10.759
the bloodline. So you have all these people that you know,

558
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.279
Ko try to protect or help against the bloodline and

559
00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.559
now they're all siding with the bloodline. So it could

560
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.880
play into his conspiracy theorist angle more and more if

561
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:21.680
they went that route.

562
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.359
Is there anybody that's currently not on television regularly like

563
00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:28.680
a true McIntyre or see him punk that you could

564
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:30.079
see injected into this one.

565
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:32.960
I think whoever they add has to either be in

566
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.039
a feud against each against somebody else, or has to

567
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.920
have some kind of connection to the feud. So like

568
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:45.160
you know, Drew McIntyre's not feuded. Anybody punks off TV,

569
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.880
I mean a priest and guns are doing their own thing.

570
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:53.240
I mean, and I don't know if anybody else is

571
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:55.359
on the level that they want this to be on.

572
00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:59.200
Because even though the individual members of New Bloodline aren't

573
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.079
house solo like I guess main event ready, they all have,

574
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:07.519
you know, they the collective group is a main event

575
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:10.400
group where you can look at the og Bloodline and Goo.

576
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:13.559
I mean maybe outside of Jimmy, everybody on that team

577
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.279
is a main event now, So you would have to

578
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.720
factor in somebody like you couldn't do l A Night

579
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.319
and Carmelo, Like, I just don't know if Carmelo's on

580
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.359
that level or I'm trying to think some of the

581
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.400
other mid card stuff going on right now where you.

582
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:31.440
Didn't they tease Jimmy usso talking to Brown Breaker, i'n wraw.

583
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:33.599
I mean, you could throw Braun into it, But then

584
00:28:33.599 --> 00:28:36.079
who do you match up on the other team? I

585
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:39.720
guess you know, that's that's the whole thing, like, you know,

586
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:41.440
because he's not really I mean, he was kind of

587
00:28:41.519 --> 00:28:43.000
feuding with Jimmy when he got the bet or Jay

588
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.559
with you when he got the belt back, but he's

589
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.680
not really feuding with anybody now. Like there's just not

590
00:28:49.000 --> 00:28:52.799
really anybody else available other than those couple of feuds

591
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.839
that we mentioned right now.

592
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:55.920
I think it's gonna be Seth and Bronton Reid.

593
00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:58.519
That makes the most sense to me.

594
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:01.960
Yeah, so I think Ko and Randy you want to

595
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:04.319
do their own individual thing, and I.

596
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.039
Think and I think Orton's gonna be off TV for

597
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:07.759
a little bit now selling an injury.

598
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.759
But then I mean, do you do does Cody get

599
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.680
asked and then Ko gets added to counteract.

600
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.839
The Cody that could be?

601
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:17.759
I think that is. I think one would be Rollins

602
00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:21.640
and Bronson Reid, two would be Cody and Kevin Owens.

603
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:27.119
Three it would be like hic Leo and the Rock

604
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:27.880
or something.

605
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.880
Same Seamous and Bronson breakers. I think that's the that's

606
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.680
they just had.

607
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:33.839
A match in Speed Seamous and Pete Dunn.

608
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:37.240
Yeah, well done. Now with the New Day thing, I

609
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:37.960
guess a little bit.

610
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:42.079
Yeah, yeah, I guess. I I think it's I think

611
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:45.200
that they've I think it's Seth. I think it's Seth

612
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:47.000
and Bronson. Reid is the fifth guys.

613
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.279
Yeah, because I think you want to you want to

614
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.000
save Cody and Ko for I guess it'd be rumble.

615
00:29:54.480 --> 00:29:56.400
I think they're gonna do it at Saturday Night's main event.

616
00:29:57.319 --> 00:29:59.720
Maybe, But I just figured I don't know that they

617
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.079
could do it a Survivor series.

618
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:04.559
If you're doing this crazy build like Cody's got to fight,

619
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:06.559
I think, and I don't know how you leave Cody.

620
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:09.599
Off of Survivor series. He's got to get factored in somehow.

621
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:14.079
They leave World Champions off. I hear you they could

622
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:16.839
get away with it being Maybe they do Ko and

623
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:19.839
Cody on that one. I mean they do it. They

624
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.319
they will sit out World Champions on feuds or excuse me,

625
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.160
on pl e's and not have a feud. I don't

626
00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:28.000
think they could do that with Cody being the guy,

627
00:30:28.599 --> 00:30:29.319
but maybe they do.

628
00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:33.640
Yeah, it's gonna be I mean with the Netflix stuff

629
00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:35.359
starts up with the first of January.

630
00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:37.559
Yeah, January sixth, I think so.

631
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:38.319
Yeah.

632
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:40.440
So I was like, well, you know, maybe they're leaving

633
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.000
in Cody off because they're gonna do something for them.

634
00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.759
But it was like, that's too far down the road.

635
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.119
I know they leave the raw. I always get the

636
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.680
title names mixed up. There's the World Heavyweight Champion and

637
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.759
then the world Champion. Is that where we have now.

638
00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:57.440
World Hevyweight Champion and undisputed WE Champion.

639
00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.960
I guess I still go through on some champions, So,

640
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:03.799
I mean, I know the tip they have been leaving

641
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:06.440
the raw World Champion off of shows because.

642
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.880
It's kind of I guess in their minds the B title.

643
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.440
But it's really hard to leave your top baby face

644
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:14.160
off a plan.

645
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:17.599
I agree. So people are buying tickets to c Cody

646
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:22.880
Roads partially so a major part honestly switching gears Dot Trae.

647
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:25.400
We talked about this story about a couple of months

648
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.920
ago now, and we figured this was potentially gonna happen

649
00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:32.279
once they announced the women's NXC North American Championship during

650
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:36.000
WRESTLEMINGI weekend during standon. Liver thought that this was gonna

651
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.400
be foregone conclusion that would happen right away, and it didn't,

652
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:40.440
and then I started being skeptical. I'm like, oh, maybe

653
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:42.680
they're not going to do it. Then, Nick all This

654
00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:46.000
announced it on Friday's edition of SmackDown when he revealed

655
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:50.319
that the Women's United States Championship will be a title

656
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:53.400
on the SmackDown brand going forward. They did not introduce

657
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:56.160
a Women's Intercontinental Championship on the Raw brand yet, but

658
00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:59.119
I would assume that is coming. Dot trae your thoughts

659
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:02.599
as in now the first time ever in WI, there

660
00:32:02.640 --> 00:32:06.599
will be a secondary mid card, upper mid card, whatever

661
00:32:06.640 --> 00:32:10.559
you want to call it, women's championship on the SmackDown brand.

662
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:15.960
Not a huge fan of it at this moment, mainly

663
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.680
because you're announcing it on the brand that maybe has

664
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:22.880
the weakest women's roster of your three brands. I think

665
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:25.559
NXT is a stronger women's division, and I think Raw

666
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:29.000
has a stronger women's division than SmackDown. So not a

667
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:32.480
huge fan of it because it's just it's I don't

668
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.400
know about you, Jeff, it's starting to feel a little

669
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:37.599
bit awish with all these title belts appearing now.

670
00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:41.480
To me, if you're gonna do this, then you need

671
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:41.759
to do.

672
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:46.119
Like an all women's show, because just the depth on

673
00:32:46.319 --> 00:32:48.440
the SmackDown roster and even the depth on the raw

674
00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:51.799
roster's just some degree isn't what it needs to be.

675
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.680
It's basically how NXT's doing it is what it needs

676
00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:55.839
to be.

677
00:32:56.559 --> 00:33:00.640
Yeah, and it's just like it's to me, there's trying

678
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:02.640
to fit everything into two hours when you got a

679
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.039
lot of a lot of talent, as tricky as it is,

680
00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.160
and then now it's just be like, okay, it's we're

681
00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:11.000
just fighting over this title that no, you don't really

682
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.720
feel like anybody is getting a bill to We're gonna

683
00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:16.799
have random like six way Gauntlet battle royal matches to

684
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:19.400
become a new number contender for the women's US title,

685
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:22.119
although you know eventually the women's Intercontinental title, to me

686
00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:24.559
is just it just feel like an unnecessary title belt

687
00:33:24.599 --> 00:33:28.880
when you haven't really built up that division. Now, in time,

688
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:31.640
when the NXT women graduate up to the main roster

689
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:35.160
and you have way more depth, it'll be fine. I

690
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.880
just feel like right now maybe not the best time

691
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:41.480
because we really don't even have a strong contender for NYA,

692
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.119
and we're looking at adding a secondary belt for a

693
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:47.839
part of the division that really doesn't have any depth

694
00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.480
to it right now.

695
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.519
You know what's what's interesting, Doctor Trey, is I feel

696
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:58.480
like WWE is setting themselves up for the brand to

697
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.799
gain an hour on smack Down. That has been the rumblings,

698
00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:06.720
and I think that this move triggers that. And the

699
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.440
word on the street is once SmackDown expands at three hours,

700
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.960
Raw goes back to three hours on Netflix, you're going

701
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.760
to see more wrestlers from the NXC brand added to

702
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:21.159
Raw and SmackDown, which makes sense as to why they're

703
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:23.199
building up the NXC women's division right now is to

704
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:27.760
eventually supplement Raw and SmackDown. If that is the case,

705
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.840
and if that is the theory and the thought behind

706
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:34.639
it all, does that change your mind whatsoever? Yeah?

707
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:37.199
I mean if everybody's getting if everybody's getting a full

708
00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:40.599
extra hour, like Raw stays at three, SmackDown goes at three,

709
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.639
and then you need some pieces brought up. Yeah, then

710
00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:44.880
it makes sense. And that's what I was saying, Like

711
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:47.639
introducing it now is a little weird. Maybe I would

712
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.639
have saved it for New Year's like after January when

713
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.880
everything's settled that everybody's getting the extra hour, I would

714
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:55.519
be better with it just right now. When you look

715
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.960
at that roster and you're like, you see the people

716
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.679
like jumping in, like, oh, that looks pretty I want

717
00:34:59.719 --> 00:35:02.480
to shot that belt. You've got the Natalians and the Meechins,

718
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:04.519
and you know, the only obsct for me is, hey,

719
00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:06.960
maybe Chelsea Green gets a run with a title, like

720
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:09.760
I love Chelsea Green. So but like when you're like, oh,

721
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.480
it's Natalia and you know the Meechins of the world

722
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:17.000
that are like, you know, is anybody excited about a

723
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:19.480
meech in Natalia US Women's title match?

724
00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.719
Maybe the Purests, But I think a.

725
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.599
Lot of it. I think you could get there because

726
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:26.760
I think NXC is showing the blueprint and they only

727
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:28.440
have two hours and they're getting it done.

728
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:32.000
Yeah, but they're they're doing the right thing. They're staggering

729
00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:35.000
their belts on opposite shows. So it's like, what a

730
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.199
week will feature these couple titles, the next week will

731
00:35:37.199 --> 00:35:39.440
feature these couple titles, And that's great, and that's the

732
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:40.199
way they want to do it.

733
00:35:40.400 --> 00:35:43.840
I'm fine with that too, But I think that's.

734
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:47.400
The way that like every professional wrestling organization should be

735
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.280
doing these shows from aw to any show in we

736
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:54.880
like feature NXC Title North Women's North American Title tag

737
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:56.840
team titles this week, and then in a week or

738
00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.960
two weeks then you feature the other ones.

739
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:01.760
Yeah, and it gets your guys time off to kind

740
00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:03.599
of recover as well too. I think that's where they're

741
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.000
going towards at some point. But to introduce it now

742
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:10.480
when I think most fans could probably name off four

743
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:16.920
SmackDown women's wrestlers, maybe five, I'll go five. I don't

744
00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.119
know if it's the right time to inters it now

745
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:22.519
when you really haven't belt built up the middle and

746
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:24.480
bottom of that division yet, because they're like right now,

747
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.039
I'm just like, yeah, it's a pretty belt.

748
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:27.880
What are we doing with it?

749
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:32.599
Because like I said, I got I know, Bailey, Naomi, Naya, Tiffany,

750
00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:37.679
and Mechen those are the five. Okay, Cannis makes six,

751
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.280
So okay, we got six. Like that's about all I

752
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:43.320
a name. So you got the different women, the tag

753
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.440
teams that are floating around, you know. But I mean

754
00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.159
if four months from now, like I'm getting a Caden

755
00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.159
Carter Women's intern Continental title run and she's got some

756
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:55.639
depth to that yeah, great, Katana Chance, Yeah, there's some

757
00:36:56.039 --> 00:36:56.679
talent there.

758
00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:58.559
They just really haven't built.

759
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.280
Up that bottom because you and I have said for

760
00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:04.079
two years and kind of bitched to moan about the

761
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:08.000
women's tag team division not really being focused on and

762
00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:10.199
even now you got Bianca and Jade, and you've got

763
00:37:10.280 --> 00:37:12.000
these other tag teams, but I think for the most part,

764
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:13.559
none of us feel like they're on the level of

765
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:17.719
Beyonca and Jade. So you have talent in the tag

766
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:21.079
division that you can supplement it with. At some point,

767
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.079
you're getting Oscar back as well, which I'm sure she'll

768
00:37:23.079 --> 00:37:24.119
get into a damage control.

769
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:25.960
But you have some people.

770
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:28.400
Charlotte's going to be back. I'm sure at some point,

771
00:37:28.480 --> 00:37:31.760
Becky'll be back. You know those people that when they

772
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.440
come back and then they have to push some of

773
00:37:33.480 --> 00:37:36.119
the other talent down to the mid card, then you'll

774
00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.400
get some better storrelines. But tenners are now when, like

775
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.960
I said, the casual fake it maybe name six women

776
00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:43.280
on SmackDown just doesn't make a ton.

777
00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:43.599
Of sense to me.

778
00:37:44.360 --> 00:37:47.599
We'll see, we'll see where things go from here. One

779
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:50.639
of my biggest scripes is also been on the main roster.

780
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:54.920
We're on SmackDown the tag team divisions, and they seem

781
00:37:54.960 --> 00:37:57.360
to be given in a pretty good college try with

782
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:01.360
the Motor City Machine on the roster right now, so

783
00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:03.519
maybe there are some hope for the women's division and

784
00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:05.960
Lisa on SmackDown to be elevated a little bit more

785
00:38:06.039 --> 00:38:09.920
with the Women's United States Championship being added to the brand.

786
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.079
So we'll keep it on that as the year goes

787
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:14.760
on here and we get into twenty twenty five as well.

788
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:19.719
Speaking of we doctor trains. Speaking of storylines, want to

789
00:38:19.719 --> 00:38:22.119
see more storylines and the Women's division storylines and the

790
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:25.679
tag team divisions. There's a lot of great storylines going

791
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:29.960
on outside of those divisions right now. Brought some reed

792
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:34.639
seth rollins Randy Orton, Kevin Owens slash Cody Rose, anything

793
00:38:34.719 --> 00:38:39.679
with the OG versus New Blood line. Which storylines are

794
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.360
the ones that are topping it for you right now?

795
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:46.400
Because I feel like everything is getting going really, really

796
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:50.199
well and it's like this could be something in December

797
00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:52.360
for Saturay Night's main event if they air a couple

798
00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:55.079
of these matches. These are matches I could get behind

799
00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:57.159
as a fan because the build has been so damn good.

800
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:01.360
The KO Randy stuff for me is so interesting and

801
00:39:01.440 --> 00:39:03.800
the way they're doing it, and plus Randy just looks

802
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:07.039
like a monster right now. I wish we'd get that

803
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:11.639
Randy Orton brock Lesner match from SummerSlam twenty fourteen back now,

804
00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:13.880
because I think that Randy looks like you could what

805
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.159
brocks ass. But that whole angle that feued the pile

806
00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:21.400
driver's spot, like I loved it because like I grew

807
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:23.400
up on pile drivers, and then I remember when they

808
00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:25.960
got banned. So I actually see a piled ever spot

809
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:29.559
with a Randy Orton, knowing his neck injury history, I

810
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:33.599
thought was really really well done. That's top of my list.

811
00:39:33.719 --> 00:39:35.559
And plus everybody wants to listen to the show knows

812
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.440
what a huge mark I am for Kevin owns a

813
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.519
Randy Orton. Anyway, og Bloodline, New Bloodline, that's really good.

814
00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:47.639
Sammy mcinroman try to apologize for Jay and Jay's you

815
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:49.679
know the apology being like I'm sorry I made you

816
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:51.360
put up with this guy. I mean that was great,

817
00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.719
but you got the feel good spot at the end.

818
00:39:56.239 --> 00:39:58.119
I still I actually went back and watched some of

819
00:39:58.119 --> 00:40:00.960
the stuff with Jay and ProMag. I mean, you know,

820
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:02.960
Jay calling out, like why'd you bring him in? Why'd

821
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.199
you go get Tomo, why'd you go get Taga, why'd

822
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.719
you go get Jacob? Like there's a reason why we

823
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:10.239
the whole family where you didn't want Jacob if he

824
00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:12.639
keeps looking me this way, but to punch his teeth

825
00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:13.280
out his throat.

826
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:18.079
Love that stuff Seth and Bronson is really good when

827
00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:18.880
I didn't.

828
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:22.360
Think it needed to be this good, Like I don't

829
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.840
know if you if I could have thought that Seth

830
00:40:25.920 --> 00:40:28.199
and Bronson could have a compelling.

831
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.480
Feud Seth, Seth has elevated Bronson. Yes, yeah, he did,

832
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:34.480
and Bronson redeserves it, and I'm very very happy for him.

833
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.880
Yeah, and even like the Wyatt Final Testma stuff with

834
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:41.480
the Miz added into it has been really good, especially

835
00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:45.079
the fact that they're going back to the storyline from

836
00:40:45.639 --> 00:40:50.480
the eight or from the B Squad or the B teams. Yes,

837
00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:53.239
you know, and then and then he broke away, you know.

838
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.000
I mean I'd love to see Bisz like somehow bring

839
00:40:56.119 --> 00:40:58.280
Curtis Axel into this because I think he's still in

840
00:40:58.320 --> 00:40:58.719
the rubble.

841
00:40:58.880 --> 00:41:00.960
I think that's happening. I think that's happening.

842
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:04.719
So but like that angle, you know, with carrying cross

843
00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.000
dragging miss out, only to have the rest of the

844
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:10.039
testamen jump the why It's like just actually see some

845
00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:12.960
vulnerability in the y at six and something we've talked about,

846
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.440
like how do you book a group like this to

847
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:17.559
have sympathy?

848
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:21.039
And they were able to pull it off. And I

849
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:22.519
think that's been really well done.

850
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:28.719
I'm not feeling Gunther and uh Damien right now, and

851
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:29.400
I think it's.

852
00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:31.400
I think it's too early to tell on that one.

853
00:41:31.679 --> 00:41:34.480
Yeah, but it's the it's the Gunther respect angle. I

854
00:41:35.000 --> 00:41:39.199
want Gunher to be ruthless and maybe that's what they end.

855
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:41.760
Up going that way. This is all you want him

856
00:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.159
to be a prick, yes, and it maybe it's all.

857
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.760
I wanted to be, an arrogant like I'm just better

858
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:49.079
than everybody else. And the fact that he can back

859
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.239
it up like like you know, all out of the

860
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:52.280
old school triple.

861
00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:52.639
H in a sense.

862
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:57.400
But and then under the radar a little bit, a

863
00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:00.360
little bit of sent between Finn and Dom I like

864
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:00.880
that as well.

865
00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:02.280
That was pretty well done.

866
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:06.199
I would say, I'm really enjoying Bronson Reid and Seth

867
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:10.239
rollins Orton and Kevin Owens. I would say my under

868
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:13.880
the radar. One that I'm starting to dig is it's

869
00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.840
not necessarily like a feud or anything like that, but

870
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:20.920
it is the inclusion of Candice Lray into the NIA

871
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:24.360
Jacks Tiffany Stratton dynamic because I'm a fan of canisl

872
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:27.079
Ray and I like that she's getting this opportunity. I'm like, hm,

873
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.960
that's interesting. I wonder where this goes, and I feel

874
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:33.480
like that is a slow burn that is benefiting Canisl Ray.

875
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:35.840
So those are some of the ones that I'm enjoying

876
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:39.199
right now. Bronson Reid Seth Rollins is probably my favorite

877
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:42.719
Orton and Owens is next. And then just like this

878
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.079
is under the radar, Like one that I'm intrigued by

879
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:49.679
is this Cancel Ray inclusion in the NIA Jacks and

880
00:42:49.760 --> 00:42:51.440
Tiffany Stratton friendship.

881
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:54.599
The chomp is stuff also from last week's SmackDown I

882
00:42:54.639 --> 00:42:58.119
thought was really good too, like, oh yeah, psychotic Chomper,

883
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.199
I think like and then you know, I actually really

884
00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:04.599
did like Heel Gargano, you know, in the way you know,

885
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:05.679
the way from NXT.

886
00:43:05.920 --> 00:43:09.159
So if d I Y goes Heel in this, I

887
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:10.480
think I'll be on board.

888
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:12.199
I mean, anytime you get d I Y and most

889
00:43:12.199 --> 00:43:14.519
of machine guns in a match and they get fifteen

890
00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:16.400
or twenty minutes. I mean, I don't think any of

891
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:17.480
us will complain about that.

892
00:43:18.039 --> 00:43:19.960
What do you think about some of the dissension that's

893
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.880
being teased on the street profits or at least a

894
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:23.840
split I should say.

895
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.679
I mean, they've been teasing this for what a year

896
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:26.880
and a.

897
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:28.920
Half, three years? I think if Vince still had the

898
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.880
creative books, Montes Vorda was going to be gone by now.

899
00:43:32.239 --> 00:43:33.679
By now with the street profits.

900
00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:36.679
If Vince was still there, Dawkins would have been released by.

901
00:43:36.639 --> 00:43:40.400
Now, probably unfortunately, and he's very, very talented.

902
00:43:40.800 --> 00:43:41.800
But he would have been tuckered.

903
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:46.199
Yes, you'd be teaching history at some sort of random

904
00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:47.079
school in Iowa.

905
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:50.840
So but yeah, I mean, and then you still got

906
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:53.679
the stuff with you know, Kofe and Xavier and are

907
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:55.280
they ever are they actually going to break up?

908
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:57.360
This is reminiscent of that stuff.

909
00:43:57.360 --> 00:43:59.639
I mean, it's it's funny when you have New Day

910
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:02.719
teasing a breakup, the prophets teasing a breakup, and on

911
00:44:02.800 --> 00:44:05.960
the other show, the acclaimed possibly teasing a breakup, like

912
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.679
We're gonna break up all all of our great African

913
00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.360
American tag teams all at one time. I mean, does

914
00:44:11.440 --> 00:44:13.639
New Day and Profits break up and you get Kofi

915
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:18.280
and Angelo against Montes and Xavier, Like, does that possibly

916
00:44:18.360 --> 00:44:22.599
happen like cross cross mixed this this, this Street Day

917
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:24.280
and the New Profits. I mean, I don't know what

918
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:26.760
you do with that, but uh, it's just weird that

919
00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:28.320
it's all happening at the same time.

920
00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:32.599
Does this feel like a Wrestlemanian build, I should say

921
00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:35.840
a build towards Wrestlmanian. Does this feel like a WrestleMania

922
00:44:36.079 --> 00:44:38.000
like build for you? Because I'm like, if you start

923
00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:41.559
putting these matches on a card for a PLA, I'm

924
00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:44.199
gonna be very excited about this. Yeah.

925
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.440
I mean, and we saw that a little bit, you

926
00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:48.599
know in years past, where you start teasing this stuff

927
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.599
really early, Like we saw a little bit of Jimmy

928
00:44:50.599 --> 00:44:53.880
and Jay last year to lead up to their match,

929
00:44:54.639 --> 00:44:57.119
you know. So it is like, hey, if we do

930
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.719
these things, and then also we also know how much

931
00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:02.159
money can they make when they finally get back together

932
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:05.360
down the road. So true, if you have a tag

933
00:45:05.519 --> 00:45:09.159
team that maybe is struggling a little bit, you split

934
00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:10.880
them up and then you bring them back together. A

935
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:12.519
couple of years later, everybody loves that. I mean, hell,

936
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.360
I remember miss and Morrison got back together for a

937
00:45:14.400 --> 00:45:15.840
little bit. I mean that was fantastic.

938
00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:18.000
So yeah, they made a song and Doctor Trey bought

939
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:18.440
that song.

940
00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:21.159
I did. I was the only song on iTunes I've.

941
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:24.079
Ever paid for Hey Hey? Was it called hey Hey? Now? Now?

942
00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:25.679
Yeah? Something like that?

943
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:27.000
Gar was?

944
00:45:27.519 --> 00:45:28.880
I bought it for a make of a ring tone.

945
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:32.159
So yeah, lots of good stuff going on right now,

946
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:35.320
storyline wise, and wee feel free to chime in. Which

947
00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:37.679
feud are you enjoying the most? Hit us up on

948
00:45:37.760 --> 00:45:40.760
Twitter at SRTU podcast or on Facebook over at facebook

949
00:45:40.800 --> 00:45:44.239
dot com. Slash story real does show That's true week.

950
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:46.039
Cause I got into this and I was like, you

951
00:45:46.119 --> 00:45:49.199
know what, I'm coming off of a vacation week, did

952
00:45:49.280 --> 00:45:51.480
not get an opportunity to really sit down and watch

953
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.159
the full shows of wrestling, watch a lot of highlights,

954
00:45:55.239 --> 00:45:57.440
read a lot of stuff. Still got to go back

955
00:45:57.440 --> 00:45:59.159
and watch a ton of shows from front to back.

956
00:45:59.559 --> 00:46:01.400
I'm like, I've been sitting on this topic for a

957
00:46:01.480 --> 00:46:03.639
while and it's something I think about often, and it's

958
00:46:04.280 --> 00:46:07.320
what do I missed most about my wrestling fandom As

959
00:46:07.360 --> 00:46:11.679
the years have gone on and like doctor Trey, I've

960
00:46:11.880 --> 00:46:14.039
been a wrestling fan nearly my whole life, and I

961
00:46:14.159 --> 00:46:18.280
immediately think back to growing up when I thought wrestling

962
00:46:18.440 --> 00:46:21.519
was quote real, and a pay per view would air

963
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:24.480
and then the next night they would discuss the recap

964
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:26.920
of the pay per view at the top of Monday

965
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:30.719
Night Raw, and nine times out of ten that is

966
00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:32.599
how I found out who won a pay per view.

967
00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:37.199
It would be nearly twenty five twenty four hours later

968
00:46:37.960 --> 00:46:40.239
that I would find out who won matches, and they

969
00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:42.679
would do it in this like really cool style. Sometimes

970
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:45.199
it would be like Todd Pett and Gale recap and

971
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:48.320
what happened at in your house bad Blood or whatever,

972
00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:51.960
or they had that same voice that they would air

973
00:46:52.039 --> 00:46:53.519
for a lot of stuff, and I was like, man,

974
00:46:53.599 --> 00:46:56.400
I kind of missed those days where the top of

975
00:46:56.599 --> 00:47:02.400
Raw had this feel where just nostalge of recapping the

976
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:05.800
pay per view from the night before that is one

977
00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.639
of them. As the conversation went on, Dot Tray, I

978
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:12.760
would also add the custom albums and CDs that they

979
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:16.239
would make. Foref I used to buy a lot of them.

980
00:47:16.719 --> 00:47:18.800
You obviously don't have to do that anymore because you've

981
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:22.800
got iTunes. You've got Spotify, But I miss buying wrestling albums,

982
00:47:23.280 --> 00:47:25.320
and then, like my last one, which I think you

983
00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.239
and I could relate to a lot here, Dot Trey,

984
00:47:28.039 --> 00:47:32.559
I miss a good wrestling video game. It has been

985
00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:36.079
sometime since I bought a Raw Versus SmackDown or W

986
00:47:36.400 --> 00:47:39.480
two K twenty four whatever they're calling it nowadays, and

987
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:42.320
I think the last one I legitimately bought was Raw

988
00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:45.800
Versus SmackDown. They all look the same nowadays. It's like

989
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:49.159
the Madden theory that I have, where Madden NFL you

990
00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:51.639
would buy it every year. You don't do that anymore

991
00:47:51.679 --> 00:47:54.079
because they barely make any changes and the graphics of

992
00:47:54.119 --> 00:47:57.400
the same. It would just begin an updated roster. And

993
00:47:57.519 --> 00:48:00.519
that's kind of the feeling for wrestling video games for

994
00:48:00.679 --> 00:48:03.800
me now as well, Doctor Trey. And I guess the

995
00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:06.039
last thing in it all is just overall. When I

996
00:48:06.079 --> 00:48:10.719
thought it was real and I kind of believed what

997
00:48:10.920 --> 00:48:13.199
was going on, nowadays, it's like I'm just watching for

998
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:18.119
athleticism and for some good feuds going on before and

999
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:21.800
after a match. So what to you, Doctor Trey, What

1000
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:23.840
do you miss most about your wrestling fandoms the years

1001
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:24.239
have gone on?

1002
00:48:26.039 --> 00:48:29.360
For what I miss going into the stores like grocery

1003
00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:31.599
stores or your Walmart or whatever and going to the

1004
00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:37.039
magazine section and picking through two or three different wrestling magazines.

1005
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:38.679
And just I don't know about you. I would always go.

1006
00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:42.480
To the ranking sections to see where I've got ranked,

1007
00:48:42.519 --> 00:48:44.400
and also to find out about guys I may have

1008
00:48:44.519 --> 00:48:45.039
never heard of.

1009
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:48.320
Yes, Yes, was that PROG Wrestling Illustrated that would do.

1010
00:48:48.360 --> 00:48:52.280
It illustrated and God was the other one there was?

1011
00:48:52.440 --> 00:48:55.840
There was one that would do a monthly ranking system,

1012
00:48:55.840 --> 00:48:58.920
and I remember I would see people from WWE, w CW,

1013
00:48:59.119 --> 00:49:01.440
Smoky Mountain, rest a ecw all in there.

1014
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:04.239
Yeah, and I I mean, I'm so old.

1015
00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:06.559
They actually did, like the Mid South rankings and the

1016
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:10.000
World Class Champions your wrestling rankings, and that's how you

1017
00:49:10.119 --> 00:49:13.039
found out who a dingo warrior was before he comes

1018
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:16.800
to WW becomes the ultimate Warrior, and then you and

1019
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:20.719
your friends would fantasy kind of book the territories, like, oh,

1020
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:23.119
what would happen if hul Cogan wrestled Rick Flair? H

1021
00:49:23.159 --> 00:49:26.480
what would happen if the if Brett Hart wrestled Barry Wyndham,

1022
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:30.280
you know, stuff like that. That was when I actually

1023
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:33.800
also like you brought up a good point, like the

1024
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:36.800
if you missed a pay per view, you had to

1025
00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:38.719
wait the twenty four hours. Like you and I have

1026
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:42.119
to avoid social media, you know if we miss something

1027
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:43.880
because we don't want to get spoiled.

1028
00:49:43.920 --> 00:49:45.320
We still want to kind of get that thrill.

1029
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:48.280
And that was that thrill of watching a Monday night

1030
00:49:48.360 --> 00:49:50.719
Raw or a nitro where you're like, oh my god,

1031
00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:52.920
like and sometimes they would recap the whole thing the

1032
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:55.079
front show, and other times they would recap it throughout

1033
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:58.239
the show based on what part of the show, like

1034
00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:00.639
the mid card would come on, you know in the

1035
00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:03.360
second hour, and they would recap what happened in the

1036
00:50:03.400 --> 00:50:07.320
Intercone title match during that segment to lead into what

1037
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:09.960
they're about to do. But I the thing I missed

1038
00:50:10.000 --> 00:50:14.519
though about those days was finding somebody who also liked wrestling.

1039
00:50:14.639 --> 00:50:18.599
Like you didn't have you know, Facebook groups or Twitter

1040
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:21.119
stuff or x stuff or like that. You had to

1041
00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:26.280
randomly run into somebody that was a wrestling fan, and

1042
00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:29.079
that that quiet little joy that you would get.

1043
00:50:29.079 --> 00:50:33.440
You like, wait, you like wrestling too? Really? I like wrestling.

1044
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:36.679
It's like it's like finding a kindred spirit randomly, Like

1045
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:39.199
I do miss that joy right now, it's like, oh man,

1046
00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:41.159
I need some wrestling friends. You just go on Facebook

1047
00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:43.119
and find a wrestling group and jump into it and

1048
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:45.639
listen to everybody bitch about how much they hate the product.

1049
00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:47.920
But in those days when you and I were kids,

1050
00:50:47.960 --> 00:50:49.559
and you know, the new kid would move to school

1051
00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.960
and you start talking and then he sees that you

1052
00:50:52.199 --> 00:50:55.119
have like a whole COVID wrestling figure and he's like, wait,

1053
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:55.800
you like wrestling?

1054
00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:59.599
I like wrestling really? Yeah? I watched right, I watched

1055
00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:03.559
Raw every night or everybody me too? Like that joy.

1056
00:51:03.800 --> 00:51:04.920
You don't get that anymore.

1057
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.400
So it's and it's kind of sound like my kids,

1058
00:51:07.519 --> 00:51:10.000
like you know, Luke and Sammy are never going to

1059
00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:14.000
get that feeling from randomly meeting somebody almost in secret,

1060
00:51:14.039 --> 00:51:16.280
because we weren't allowed to talk about our wrestling.

1061
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:18.480
Fandom at schools for the most parts, because the other

1062
00:51:18.519 --> 00:51:19.400
kids would make fun of us.

1063
00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:22.480
So finding that kindred spoll who was into the same

1064
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:24.559
things yours just like it was a really cool feeling.

1065
00:51:25.679 --> 00:51:28.920
And the video game stuff, I think it was PlayStation

1066
00:51:29.119 --> 00:51:31.159
one or two, when when those games come out and

1067
00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:35.559
you can actually upload your own theme music to your character,

1068
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:39.039
I thought was fantastic. It's something that I missed because

1069
00:51:39.079 --> 00:51:41.480
I would make a character and I would pick out

1070
00:51:41.559 --> 00:51:43.920
my own music from what I like, and I didn't

1071
00:51:43.920 --> 00:51:48.920
have to choose from mgk's soundtrack that he put together

1072
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:52.199
for you know, two K twenty four, which is god awful,

1073
00:51:52.599 --> 00:51:55.440
but you know, you could actually pick your theme song

1074
00:51:55.559 --> 00:51:57.360
to fit the character you made, and it made a

1075
00:51:57.360 --> 00:51:59.280
lot of sense. And that's when you could kind of

1076
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:02.159
do the take your e fed and make it into

1077
00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.079
real life on well and you know, into a video

1078
00:52:05.159 --> 00:52:07.719
game and have all your custom characters that from your

1079
00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:10.800
e fed onto this game with their own music and

1080
00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:12.159
make it kind of come to life.

1081
00:52:12.199 --> 00:52:15.760
So that was a pretty cool feeling that I miss Yeah,

1082
00:52:15.880 --> 00:52:17.519
I mean, and just you know the.

1083
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:21.519
Rand, like there's no real underground wrestling show. Like when

1084
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:23.280
ECW first came out, it was only.

1085
00:52:23.159 --> 00:52:23.840
In the Northeast.

1086
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:26.760
For us in the Midwest, we would hear about it,

1087
00:52:26.840 --> 00:52:29.519
but we could watch it, and you know, tape training

1088
00:52:29.679 --> 00:52:31.400
was a thing. But even then, like, if you're just

1089
00:52:31.480 --> 00:52:35.000
some random kid in Arkansas, how the hell are you

1090
00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:37.679
gonna find somebody to trade quick? There's nothing you could

1091
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:40.599
offer to get back. So for us, it's like, wait,

1092
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:43.320
there's an East, there's an ECW pay per view with

1093
00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:45.440
the Blockbuster I can watch and then you watch it like,

1094
00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:46.440
oh my god, this is crazy.

1095
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:47.239
How do I get more?

1096
00:52:47.880 --> 00:52:50.119
Like, you don't get that feeling from the gc ws

1097
00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:53.199
and the Wrestling Revolvers and you know the you know,

1098
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:56.079
those those cool, hip little any shows they have out

1099
00:52:56.079 --> 00:52:59.679
there down you don't have that underground feeling like you

1100
00:52:59.760 --> 00:53:00.559
did back in the day.

1101
00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:01.840
So those are a couple of things that I miss.

1102
00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:07.400
Yeah, yeah, I'm with you. I missed the And wasn't

1103
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:09.719
that long ago, like fifteen years ago, just being like, hey,

1104
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:11.679
did you see what's going on in Roh right now

1105
00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:16.039
reading about it? That was kind of the last independent

1106
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.719
wrestling organization to meet out trip because I think the

1107
00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:21.960
rest I really haven't followed, and they're very, very infrequent.

1108
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:25.960
I don't think GCW runs frequent shows every or nearly

1109
00:53:26.039 --> 00:53:30.559
every weekend like ROH was. I'm trying to think of

1110
00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:33.119
any others that are out there from the independent restling scene.

1111
00:53:33.159 --> 00:53:35.559
I don't think CZW runs as much as they used

1112
00:53:35.599 --> 00:53:36.119
to anymore.

1113
00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:41.599
Revolver that Sammy Callahan's show, they I mean they mostly

1114
00:53:41.639 --> 00:53:42.519
shows run monthly.

1115
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:45.480
Now was what was the one in California, the everybody.

1116
00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:48.559
Came out of you PW no, no no, the one

1117
00:53:48.800 --> 00:53:51.440
when they like the stem oh, like the super indie

1118
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:55.119
shows that they oh the PWG yes, like they hardly

1119
00:53:55.199 --> 00:53:57.239
I don't ever see them doing anything really anymore.

1120
00:53:57.400 --> 00:53:59.360
Super Dragon shut it down because they had like a

1121
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:01.519
family of Urgency and they have not been back in

1122
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:02.760
almost well over a year.

1123
00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:06.679
So I mean GCW I followed because I have friends

1124
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:08.199
of mine that get booked on that show.

1125
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:12.360
Wrestling Revolver. I really don't follow that much.

1126
00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:17.119
There's some other like Chikara like it has gone has

1127
00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:21.519
gone by the wayside a couple of the weird shows

1128
00:54:21.559 --> 00:54:22.960
they do out in California where they do, like the

1129
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:25.480
the the Michael Jackson Zombie.

1130
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:28.360
If I see something, I'm like, ah right, I'll watch it.

1131
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:33.559
But yeah, there's just not really the intense super indie

1132
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:35.840
proma or super indie show that you have to go

1133
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:38.599
find a check out and you're like, Ring of Honor

1134
00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:40.960
was the last one because what Ring of Honor you know,

1135
00:54:41.519 --> 00:54:43.280
was up and running with when the show first started,

1136
00:54:43.519 --> 00:54:45.239
Like I always having to find out about Ring of

1137
00:54:45.280 --> 00:54:47.239
Honor stuff from you, like you were my Ring of

1138
00:54:47.320 --> 00:54:50.400
Honor contact, because you know, you were able to see it.

1139
00:54:50.719 --> 00:54:52.199
We didn't get Ring of Honor.

1140
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:54.159
In the South, so I had to read about it

1141
00:54:54.320 --> 00:54:57.960
and sometimes reading about it or hearing about it, like

1142
00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:01.079
you create this image in your head or what this

1143
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:03.920
show is like. And when I finally got to see

1144
00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:05.360
some Ring of Water back in those days, I was

1145
00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:06.480
never actually disappointed.

1146
00:55:06.519 --> 00:55:08.000
Always kind of met my expectations.

1147
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:10.360
But you know when when they did the whole angle

1148
00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:12.599
with Kevin Stein getting fired and he was kind of

1149
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:14.800
invading these when Cornet fired him and he was invading

1150
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:17.280
those shows, I didn't get to see any of that stuff.

1151
00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:19.599
Like I had to read about it and hear about

1152
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:21.760
it from you and my other friends in the Northeast,

1153
00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:25.159
and it was like, this is awesome and I can't

1154
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:27.719
see it, which maybe like maybe want it even more.

1155
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.480
And now it's like, yeah, like if you want to

1156
00:55:30.519 --> 00:55:32.840
see something, these guys are all streaming their stuff, you

1157
00:55:32.920 --> 00:55:35.320
can check it out. But you don't have that like

1158
00:55:35.559 --> 00:55:38.400
I'm missing that. You don't have that fomo, the fear

1159
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:40.559
of missing out. You don't have that anymore because if

1160
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:43.000
you want to see something, you can pretty much go

1161
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:43.960
find it wherever you want to.

1162
00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:47.719
It's just those days of missing out on cool stuff

1163
00:55:47.840 --> 00:55:49.280
just made you want to see it more and more.

1164
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:51.760
I think we should do this as a show someday,

1165
00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:53.679
just kind of like what you miss right your resting phantom,

1166
00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:56.199
because it is. When we were talking about magazines, I

1167
00:55:56.320 --> 00:55:57.880
was like, man, what was the magazine I would always

1168
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.159
get when I would like do a car kyle ride

1169
00:56:01.199 --> 00:56:03.639
with my parents, especially like a long one, we'd always

1170
00:56:03.639 --> 00:56:06.519
stop and pick up a bunch of different magazines. For me,

1171
00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:09.119
it was Wrestling World, which I believe is now defunct.

1172
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:09.840
Do you remember those?

1173
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:11.400
Yeah? It was.

1174
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:14.239
There was Wrestling World, There was p w I, there

1175
00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:18.119
was another one that was like Pro Wrestling Magazine.

1176
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:20.880
I think it was like there was Hell even the

1177
00:56:21.079 --> 00:56:24.880
w w F magazine, you know, like they I.

1178
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:26.159
Have a collection though somewhere.

1179
00:56:26.480 --> 00:56:28.159
Yeah, Like I just I actually just threw out a

1180
00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:30.239
couple of magazines there day that somebody gave me that

1181
00:56:30.280 --> 00:56:32.199
I'm like, I'm never gonna look at these, but they're

1182
00:56:32.239 --> 00:56:34.679
just here. But uh yeah, like some of that stuff

1183
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:36.840
was like school and even nine hundred numbers. Jeff, I

1184
00:56:36.920 --> 00:56:40.280
know they're they're frowned upon, but you know, just the

1185
00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:43.320
the t's, you know, the mean gene jumping on the

1186
00:56:43.880 --> 00:56:48.519
sign us or you know, even like those those little wards,

1187
00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:52.719
those little those those numbers were ways to increase anticipation

1188
00:56:53.000 --> 00:56:55.519
and increase that little feeling of like, oh, I'm in

1189
00:56:55.679 --> 00:56:58.519
the know. The fact that like we're in the know

1190
00:56:58.719 --> 00:57:01.280
about everything pretty much right now kind of takes away

1191
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:02.519
the magic of pro wrestling.

1192
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:04.519
Yeah, what was it like ninety nine cents for the

1193
00:57:04.559 --> 00:57:06.920
first minute, then ten cents after?

1194
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.039
It was a dollar ninety nine for the first minute,

1195
00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:11.800
nine nine says reisition of a minute. Which is why

1196
00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:14.199
I got my ass beat by my dad, because I

1197
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:17.199
thought I was out smarting the system by calling for

1198
00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:18.760
thirty seconds and then hanging up.

1199
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:21.639
Well, you and me both. I got in trouble as

1200
00:57:21.679 --> 00:57:24.599
well because I there was something along the lines like

1201
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:27.960
a former WF champion maybe joining ww you know, dial

1202
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:30.400
this number one nine hundred nine oh nine. Was it

1203
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:33.599
ninety nine hundred ninety nine hundred yep, Man, I still

1204
00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:36.599
remember that nine hundred number from me and Gene Okerlin,

1205
00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:41.440
and I called for my grandmother's house and did not

1206
00:57:41.639 --> 00:57:43.719
realize she was going to be charged. Also, I could

1207
00:57:43.760 --> 00:57:48.280
hear that Shawn Michaels was not interested in joining WSW

1208
00:57:48.679 --> 00:57:50.239
and boy, oh boy, did I get in a lot

1209
00:57:50.239 --> 00:57:52.000
of troubles, Like I did not know you were going

1210
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:56.119
to get beat charged for that. I am sorry, And

1211
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:58.519
somehow my grandmother got out of it. So I think

1212
00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:02.760
I got a free like nine hundred dial in from

1213
00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:06.559
WW or megene oakerlin Bio just lying about it.

1214
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.079
I told Brian Pillman Junior that I got in trouble

1215
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:14.320
because when his dad joined WCW, they kind of teased

1216
00:58:14.400 --> 00:58:16.920
who was his hot new free agent signing coming to WCW.

1217
00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:18.559
It was Brian Pillman.

1218
00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:22.039
But I would call because as a thirteen year old,

1219
00:58:22.400 --> 00:58:24.000
if it was a dollar ninety nine, for the first

1220
00:58:24.119 --> 00:58:26.960
minute in my head I had to get I had

1221
00:58:27.000 --> 00:58:30.239
to hit one minute before my dad got charged. So

1222
00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:34.320
if I hung up after thirty seconds, my dad would.

1223
00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:37.079
Not get charged. And then once again, this is us.

1224
00:58:37.639 --> 00:58:40.840
This is nineteen ninety ninety one, somewhere in that in

1225
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:43.639
that range, and my dad comes home to a two

1226
00:58:43.800 --> 00:58:48.239
hundred and forty dollars landline bill, and he had just

1227
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:51.039
got back from a parent teacher conference whereas my teachers

1228
00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:53.360
had als said how smart and wonderful student I was.

1229
00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:54.679
He comes home with that.

1230
00:58:54.760 --> 00:58:57.760
Bill and lost it, and I it's the only time

1231
00:58:57.840 --> 00:59:00.159
my dad ever spanked me with a belt and he

1232
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:02.519
actually used the belt on me and then made go

1233
00:59:02.679 --> 00:59:06.440
mud lawn so like and then and I told him.

1234
00:59:06.440 --> 00:59:07.599
He was later, I'm like, you know, Dad, if you

1235
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:09.480
just called, if you just called the phone coming he

1236
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:11.960
said that my son was underage and didn't have my permission,

1237
00:59:11.960 --> 00:59:16.159
they would have forgave the bill. He was like, well,

1238
00:59:16.199 --> 00:59:18.480
you learned a lesson, didn't you. I'm like, yeah, I don't.

1239
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:23.039
I never know. Theoretically I did. Pops yep, yeah, no,

1240
00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:27.000
those those were the days. Again. That could be something

1241
00:59:27.000 --> 00:59:28.559
we could do for an entire show. So that maybe

1242
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:31.599
