Speaker 1: The views expressed in the following program are those of
Speaker 1: the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of
Speaker 1: Saga nine sixty Am or its management.
Speaker 2: It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.
Speaker 3: Ringside Heat is on the air on news Talk Saga
Speaker 3: nine sixty AM and your favorite Codcatcher, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 3: My name is Lextan, host the producer of the show.
Speaker 3: You can follow me at Lextan Media. You can follow
Speaker 3: the show at Ringside Underscore. Today, March eighteenth, twenty twenty
Speaker 3: six is Ruthless, Echoes, Chris at Chaos and three sixteen forever.
Speaker 3: Last Monday was in March sixteenth, effectively affectionately rather known
Speaker 3: as three sixteen Day, in honor of our very own
Speaker 3: stone called Steve Austin. And I call him a very
Speaker 3: own stone called Steve Austin. What because what? That was
Speaker 3: his catchphrase? And that was that That's what made him great?
Speaker 3: What that person saying what? What is Chico? And his
Speaker 3: and his Instagram handle is at Cocoa collects Chico.
Speaker 2: How you doing what? And I'm just kidding.
Speaker 4: It was a cool little three sixteen day. They what
Speaker 4: they honored him on raw what with a couple of
Speaker 4: promos what but nothing really direct? What because Stone Cold
Speaker 4: Steve Austin, what is comfortable? What putting the Stone Cold
Speaker 4: what persona behind him?
Speaker 2: Mmmm? Yeah, so that was cool.
Speaker 4: He was interviewed on Busted Open this past Monday during
Speaker 4: three sixteen Day in the morning, and it's interesting because
Speaker 4: he seemed like more at peace than I've ever heard
Speaker 4: him with, kind of having the Stone Cold era behind
Speaker 4: him in his life, almost like whether or not you
Speaker 4: could you kind of almost assume that whether or not
Speaker 4: he got the call from WWE to show up on
Speaker 4: RAW on Monday, maybe he didn't even answer the phone,
Speaker 4: or maybe he didn't care to answer the phone or something.
Speaker 4: Apparently he's got many things going on, like racing and
Speaker 4: things like that. So good for him that he's sort
Speaker 4: of seems to be at peace with just moving on.
Speaker 4: Because if there was a time for Austin to have
Speaker 4: shown up on a three sixteen Day this year would
Speaker 4: have been it because it was on a Monday night,
Speaker 4: the March sixteen thing, and it was in Texas.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could not have had a more ideal set
Speaker 4: of circumstances for Stone Cold to do a run in
Speaker 4: and maybe do a couple of stunners, or at least
Speaker 4: do some sort of entertaining segment with oh, I don't know,
Speaker 4: maybe Dan.
Speaker 2: So that would have.
Speaker 4: Been fun, but it just seemed to me like Steve
Speaker 4: Austin is plenty comfortable just moving forward with his life.
Speaker 2: And also also a fun story here.
Speaker 3: We were talking in the chat with the rest of
Speaker 3: the former members of the Ringside heat Wrin crew and
Speaker 3: they mentioned as well that one of them call him,
Speaker 3: actually mentioned that at work he had to call a
Speaker 3: man named Stephen Austin, which is great on March the sixteenth.
Speaker 4: For yeah, that's great. Yeah, what a quinky think it is? Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: and yeah, and it's great because well now we have
Speaker 4: we have a new version of that catch phrase of course,
Speaker 4: because Dan Housen gave out some some shirts via shirt cannon,
Speaker 4: like the shirt bazooka, and then he and then he
Speaker 4: introduced Cannon Housen with multiple shirts.
Speaker 2: So that was fun.
Speaker 4: And after that he said, since it's a very nice day.
Speaker 4: Then he dropped the line he said, Dan house in
Speaker 4: three sixteen says I just cursed your ass.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's great, and then he ran off.
Speaker 4: The lights went out and the lights went on again
Speaker 4: he was still running, and then audibly he said, oh,
Speaker 4: they can hear me too.
Speaker 5: See it's it's and that's the thing like if again
Speaker 5: we've said this before, but we'll say it again, if
Speaker 5: there's any company that knows what to do with a
Speaker 5: Dan Housen, it's w w E.
Speaker 4: And I did have that feeling from the very beginning,
Speaker 4: even when he went to AEW. I kind of figured,
Speaker 4: since they're they're more quote unquote sports focused and more
Speaker 4: more focused on the moves and you know, earning a
Speaker 4: earning a really bafflingly bafflingly meaningless five star rating. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, since that's what the owners focused on, I
Speaker 4: guess they're all focused on that. I knew they weren't
Speaker 4: gonna last very long trying to use dan Housen. So
Speaker 4: it's not that surprising to me because dan Housen is
Speaker 4: sports entertainment exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: That's the thing.
Speaker 3: That's that that that's what that That's one of the
Speaker 3: reasons why WWE has survived through all of these years
Speaker 3: is because it's not just the sports. It's not just
Speaker 3: the it's not just the moves. It is the entertainment
Speaker 3: aspect of it. No matter if people. No matter what
Speaker 3: people will say about the way that Vincent made handled
Speaker 3: things in that sort of way, the one thing you
Speaker 3: can give him is that.
Speaker 2: He knew that it was sports entertainment.
Speaker 3: And that's something that we will get into a little
Speaker 3: bit later on the show when we go deeper into
Speaker 3: these stone cold Steve Austin memories and recollections and and
Speaker 3: things like that. But I want to talk about UH,
Speaker 3: let's start. Let's let's start it off first with the
Speaker 3: ww SmackDown. And because so called Steve Austin, UH calls
Speaker 3: Steve Austin kind of like all it advertinally started the
Speaker 3: ruthless Aggression era because he took his ball and went
Speaker 3: home and Vince McMahon challenged the w w E superstars
Speaker 3: on Raw at the time, do.
Speaker 2: You have ruthless aggression? Which John Cena drink some water there?
Speaker 2: I think there's something in your throat.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybehn okay, But but but John Cena himself responded
Speaker 3: in his first day of uh it's his first day
Speaker 3: on the main roster, up against Kurt Angle and saying
Speaker 3: what does he what? And in response to uh to
Speaker 3: Kurt Angle asked him what does he have? And he
Speaker 3: also answered ruthless aggression. So uh there you there, there,
Speaker 3: there you go. I mean, uh, that is something that
Speaker 3: is prevalent, I guess, and is that uh with that
Speaker 3: connect Stone Cold and John Cena, uh and in the
Speaker 3: I didn't arguably to the greatest superstars of all time,
Speaker 3: and we'll also uh connect that to one of the
Speaker 3: greatest superstars of this particular generation of w W.
Speaker 2: Wrestlers and superstars.
Speaker 3: Randy Orton makes a returns and shows the world that
Speaker 3: he still has ruthless aggression even though they didn't say
Speaker 3: ruthless aggression on the on the broadcast. I call it
Speaker 3: ruthless aggression because the contract for WrestleMania between for the
Speaker 3: Championship match between Randy Orton and Cody Roads was officially
Speaker 3: signed and then Orton snaps a vicious attack on Cody
Speaker 3: Roads with note theatrics just violence. This isn't just this
Speaker 3: is the legend Norton anymore. This is predator Orton and
Speaker 3: he has and now Cody Roads is no longer just
Speaker 3: chasing destiny. He's got to survive destiny now.
Speaker 4: So basically, welcome to the third or fourth annual. Let's
Speaker 4: bloody up Cody Roads. On the Road to WrestleMania.
Speaker 3: Yep, why not? I mean, like, hey, it worked the
Speaker 3: last three years if it ain't broke right exactly.
Speaker 2: So yeah, let's let's recount a little bit.
Speaker 4: Take us take a little trip on memory lane the
Speaker 4: past couple of WrestleManias or so.
Speaker 2: So let's go.
Speaker 4: So last year, I'm fairly sure Sina did a number
Speaker 4: on on on Cody Roads. Oh yes, in Toronto.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, punched him with a watch, got him a
Speaker 3: bloody yes he did.
Speaker 4: Which they pay tribute to. In Mattel's upcoming Ultimate Edition
Speaker 4: Series thirty one release of John Cena, there is an
Speaker 4: alternate hand with a like watch wrapped around the hand. Yep, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: that's pretty cool. The only problem is, and I've seen
Speaker 4: a couple of pictures of it, the watch is unpainted,
Speaker 4: so it looks like it's just flesh colored. But hey,
Speaker 4: you know, I still want a memento of that night
Speaker 4: it having been in Toronto.
Speaker 2: That heel turn, so to go with all the.
Speaker 3: Other momentos that we've gotten from that night John, the
Speaker 3: John Cena shirt, the fake John Cena shirt?
Speaker 2: What else do you have?
Speaker 4: I bought the little Elimination Chamber twenty twenty five pl
Speaker 4: E Souvenir Mini Belt.
Speaker 2: That's right, you did, That's that's right you did. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I almost bought the top Snow card too. About
Speaker 4: the heel turn, so, I mean, too bad I didn't
Speaker 4: get it, but that would have been fun.
Speaker 2: But I haven't seen a couple of them have to
Speaker 2: be marketplace, I mean, I don't.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind getting that too, but then, like you know,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm already pretty happy with my puppy, the fourteenth
Speaker 3: Tops cards, so.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's pretty cool. So but we're not talking
Speaker 4: about national Trading card data. That's not up yet for
Speaker 4: another couple of weeks or so. So yeah, I don't
Speaker 4: know how we got to talk about John c and
Speaker 4: oh yes, bloodying up Cody Roads on an annual basis
Speaker 4: en route to the WrestleMania main event that he's part of.
Speaker 2: So yeah, John Cena bloody Cody Rhoads.
Speaker 4: And then before that the Rock bloodied him, and then
Speaker 4: before that, I'm pretty sure Roman Rains got him too,
Speaker 4: before that wrestlmingd at thirty nine confrontation maybe.
Speaker 3: Exactly, and and and and here's the thing. It's like,
Speaker 3: as as we joked around the board. If it ain't broke,
Speaker 3: don't fix it. But at the same time, it's like
Speaker 3: it's like it does put Cody Rhodes in a more
Speaker 3: sympathetic position. And when you are the when you are
Speaker 3: the face going into WrestleMania, you want you you obviously
Speaker 3: want the casual fans to know that you know that
Speaker 3: you that that that uh who is rooting for?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly who's the good guy? Who's the bad guy?
Speaker 3: And right now, h Randy Orton in his I mean
Speaker 3: he's having I love the fact that Randy Orton is
Speaker 3: having so much fun as the legend Randy Orton and
Speaker 3: living it up, and he's had he's lived it up
Speaker 3: over the over the past little while being you know,
Speaker 3: the being the fan favorite because you know that, thanks
Speaker 3: to the Internet, r KOs out of Nowhere memes were great,
Speaker 3: right and still and and and are still fun. So
Speaker 3: whenever you see Randy Orton pull a pull an r
Speaker 3: k O out of Nowhere, it is obviously gonna be
Speaker 3: you know, it's obviously gonna get a huge pop no
Speaker 3: matter what it is. But at the same time, now
Speaker 3: I just think that Randy Orton is such a natural
Speaker 3: heel and yes uh uh and ever since he was
Speaker 3: doing the h before he became the legend killer uh,
Speaker 3: when he was just just just just playing old vanilla
Speaker 3: Randy Orton, blue trunks and uh and hair on his head,
Speaker 3: doing the R and end segments, when he was updating
Speaker 3: people about the uh the injury, the injury to his arm,
Speaker 3: or very early on in his rookie year as a
Speaker 3: WW superstar, those pissed me off. I did not like
Speaker 3: those ones. I still watch them, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: but I just like it just pissed me off, Like,
Speaker 3: what the hell am I watching this for?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: That entertained me back then. Actually I appreciated that.
Speaker 4: You know, if if if he's got the talent, why
Speaker 4: not keep him on TV? Which I think? Uh now
Speaker 4: they do a decent job of. I mean, we're not
Speaker 4: going to talk about this much, but Chelsea Green was
Speaker 4: on SmackDown and she made the most out of a
Speaker 4: few seconds of time backstage where she was hastily disposed
Speaker 4: of by Tiffany by like just sending the wheelchair off
Speaker 4: camera right. Yes, reminds me of Tom reminds me of
Speaker 4: when Cain threw Matt Cardona off the stage.
Speaker 2: On rass so on on the wheelchair as well.
Speaker 4: See you got ahead of me, man, but I was
Speaker 4: getting there, so you know, like like like wife like
Speaker 4: husband or something. I guess it runs in that family.
Speaker 4: And then and then Chelsea even showed up down the
Speaker 4: ramp after that too, just kind of being a pest
Speaker 4: during the Tiffany versus h Keana James match, was it, yes.
Speaker 2: Tiffany versus Keanna James.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, so so Chelsea made her presence known and
Speaker 4: so yeah, sometimes it's kind of good to have an
Speaker 4: injured superstar still on TV, uh if they can, you know,
Speaker 4: still get a reaction from the crowd. Sometimes not all
Speaker 4: the time, Like I'm okay with Kevin Owens, for example,
Speaker 4: being like gone for a while, it'd be nice to
Speaker 4: get an update. He needs to eat, he needs the
Speaker 4: heal though, man, Like yeah, absolutely, yeah, so that's that's
Speaker 4: a whole different story.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So, I mean Chelsea was there and even though she's
Speaker 4: injured whatever. Randy did it back in the day. But yeah,
Speaker 4: going back to your point about Randy being a natural heel,
Speaker 4: I was gonna mention that it looks like and he
Speaker 4: may have even said this off camera to the crowd
Speaker 4: and look at somebody's Instagram footage of raw or SmackDown.
Speaker 4: But I think Randy even yelleda like like nine, it's
Speaker 4: two thousand and nine again, baby or something. I don't
Speaker 4: know if he said that. I mean, I would think
Speaker 4: that somebody else should say it for him. I think
Speaker 4: he should just be like ruthless again and cold and
Speaker 4: not have to pander like I hope he does less
Speaker 4: pandering on the road to WrestleMania because he's you know,
Speaker 4: I think he sincerely means it too, because he's in
Speaker 4: a more enlightened part of his adult life. So he
Speaker 4: that's what he was expressing as a as.
Speaker 2: A baby face.
Speaker 4: But now that he's back to kind of being that
Speaker 4: ruthless viper ready to bite you at any turn, and
Speaker 4: you know, unleash's venom on you and all that stuff,
Speaker 4: I think we got to see like a colder Orton again,
Speaker 4: at least, like while he's on screen. Yeah, yeah, and
Speaker 4: it's nice. At least they made a line in the
Speaker 4: sand reference to the old evolution theme.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 4: A line in the sand to make sure to make
Speaker 4: it simple good guy versus bad guy, you know, and
Speaker 4: people are still going to cheer for Randy because they have.
Speaker 2: So much respect for him now.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's nice to draw that line between face
Speaker 4: and heel. Keep it simple, you know, let people have
Speaker 4: that babyface versus heel match up, and then you know,
Speaker 4: they could still decide for themselves what to do, but
Speaker 4: at least you're you're keeping it kind of clear who's
Speaker 4: the good guy, who's the bad guy? Per se like,
Speaker 4: you know, so I'm glad that they're doing that. Some
Speaker 4: people would have wanted it to be Cody, but I
Speaker 4: think that it's it makes more sense that it's And
Speaker 4: because he can always snap at any time. He always
Speaker 4: talks about the voices in his head, why not listen
Speaker 4: to them now, which he did exactly.
Speaker 3: And an interesting psychological layer I think that is going
Speaker 3: on here is that Orton seeing Cody as a man
Speaker 3: trying to complete a story, even though yes, Randy Cody
Speaker 3: did complete his story before and everything, but then with
Speaker 3: Orton's mindset is the one he wants to end Cody's
Speaker 3: story of this kids in this case.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you caught this, but on Monday,
Speaker 4: Michael Cole was supposed to interview Randy Orton, and so
Speaker 4: Orton Pops on screen, but he's in the middle of
Speaker 4: a phone call and it was a mystery caller. So
Speaker 4: and then he decided to change his mind and tell
Speaker 4: Cole he's not going to give the interview anymore. So
Speaker 4: he's playing more into the whole persona of being a
Speaker 4: heel again. So I like where this is going. I
Speaker 4: just hope yeah, Orton gets colder again and more calculated
Speaker 4: and more heelish, because he's just been overtly sugary suite
Speaker 4: the past few months.
Speaker 3: He has been exactly and and and and and the
Speaker 3: thing is like, because of the respect that I've gained
Speaker 3: for or that that that I've had for Orton, uh
Speaker 3: over the years now, I mean like and it's uh,
Speaker 3: I haven't I I I haven't really liked Orton a
Speaker 3: lot for most of his career. But then you know,
Speaker 3: now that all this time has passed and uh, you know,
Speaker 3: he's still wrestling at a high level and still can
Speaker 3: go for another few years, kind of like the way
Speaker 3: A J styles is and and I guess that's the
Speaker 3: that's our generation of h uh, like you know, the
Speaker 3: the the the the the millennial generation of wrestlers, as
Speaker 3: uh Randy is probably one is probably the first generation
Speaker 3: millennial wrestler, uh is or first cohort millennial wrestler, like
Speaker 3: uh uh compared to you know, Gen X and Boomer wrestlers. Uh.
Speaker 3: You know, the the nutrition and the fitness and the
Speaker 3: uh and the health, the the the focus on health
Speaker 3: within the athletics community is just at a different level
Speaker 3: than it was, you know, for even for for that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think that with Orton too. He's one
Speaker 4: of the best at working smarter, not harder mm hmm.
Speaker 4: So he knows how to make the the best out
Speaker 4: of not having to do much physically because and I
Speaker 4: used to think of all of that as as super boring,
Speaker 4: and sometimes maybe it still is. But I've come to
Speaker 4: understand some of the psychology more and more through the years,
Speaker 4: and I think that Randy is is what they say
Speaker 4: he is. He's a master at doing that. He's a
Speaker 4: master of again doing much without having to do much, sorry,
Speaker 4: doing a lot without having to do much. So he
Speaker 4: uses the psychology to his advantage, something that in recent
Speaker 4: years Roman Reigns has learned to do as well, in
Speaker 4: a different way, at a different level too, But Orton
Speaker 4: has been doing it for a long time, and so well,
Speaker 4: I'm glad he's getting the shot. And I don't know
Speaker 4: about you, but I like that this is going to
Speaker 4: remain a singles match. Yeah, are you okay with it
Speaker 4: now or now?
Speaker 3: I am because of the fact that because of the
Speaker 3: way they're building the different stories with Drew McIntyre and
Speaker 3: Jacob Fatio and the rest.
Speaker 4: YEP, this is exactly what I had confidence that would happen.
Speaker 4: So I'm glad that it's so far that it's working well.
Speaker 4: And in fact, I even hope that Randy wins number fifteen.
Speaker 3: You know, I wouldn't I wouldn't be opposed to that, Honestly,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be. I wouldn't be opposed to to Randy
Speaker 3: taking number fifteen at WrestleMania.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've already seen Cody.
Speaker 3: You know, we've already seen Cody finish his story and
Speaker 3: all that, and you know it would be and I'm
Speaker 3: sure that they're going to build up a good moment
Speaker 3: for Cody if he is going to be slated to
Speaker 3: win at WrestleMania and retain the championship.
Speaker 2: But there is I mean, they did it for Sena.
Speaker 3: They got Seena his seventeenth and and broke the record,
Speaker 3: Uh broke the record at WrestleMania last year, and it's uh.
Speaker 2: Might as well put Randy on that road too, right
Speaker 2: like toward that maybe exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: And I would say that Randy has earned that distinction
Speaker 3: just as much as John Cena has.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Sena himself recognizes that records are made to
Speaker 4: be broken. So I'm sure that he, of all people,
Speaker 4: would not mind if Randy gets close or at least
Speaker 4: ties him.
Speaker 6: Like.
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'll they'll have Randy like break
Speaker 4: Sena's record.
Speaker 2: It could happen, though, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'd like him. I don't know if I want him
Speaker 3: to break Seena's record. I'd like him to tie it,
Speaker 3: at least tie Rick Flair.
Speaker 2: Which is the one right under Sena.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right, yeah, because and it would be fitting
Speaker 3: because it would be fitting because it was Ric Flair
Speaker 3: and Triple H an evolution that that made Batista and
Speaker 3: Randy Orton who they are today and particularly and so
Speaker 3: if so, if Randy Orton does have that opportunity and
Speaker 3: has that health still that he can, you know, convincingly
Speaker 3: be somebody that could tie Rick Flair's record.
Speaker 2: At this point in his career, I said, do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think at this point you can always
Speaker 4: get Cody on the chase for a world title, and
Speaker 4: I think that that there's potentially more story with Randy
Speaker 4: going forward for WrestleMania's champion.
Speaker 3: M hm and yeah, yeah, I mean when you have
Speaker 3: when when you bring back the legend killer persona that
Speaker 3: you know, as you said, you know, taking it back
Speaker 3: to two thousand and nine.
Speaker 2: One thing I like.
Speaker 3: One thing I actually do appreciate what they've been doing
Speaker 3: with AJ Styles, what they've done with or what they've
Speaker 3: done with AJ Styles rather what they've done with John
Speaker 3: Cena and what they've done and what they might be
Speaker 3: doing with Randy Orton, is that you know, they're giving
Speaker 3: them their final runs of their careers and or in
Speaker 3: at least in the back end of their careers, the
Speaker 3: older age of their careers. But it's not a nostalgia run.
Speaker 3: I didn't find a nostalgia run from from from AJ Styles.
Speaker 3: I didn't feel a nostalgia run from John Cena. And
Speaker 3: I didn't feel and I don't feel that they're going
Speaker 3: to do in a nostalgier run for Randy Orton because
Speaker 3: this is not nostalgia. This is a man remembering exactly
Speaker 3: who he is, and he is a legitd killer with
Speaker 3: Raspress Ringside Heat on New Stock snat nine sixty am.

Speaker 2: Who Yeah, I.
Speaker 4: Can't wait for the j season to start man so
Speaker 4: far with all the pre sale tickets, this is the
Speaker 4: most amount of games I've ever bought tickets for in
Speaker 4: one season.
Speaker 2: Same, So I don't know it's gonna go.
Speaker 4: It could go real bad or it could go fantastically,
Speaker 4: but I can't wait for the start.
Speaker 3: Well, we've already we've already bought the tickets. So it's like,
Speaker 3: you know, now, so the money's out of our hands.
Speaker 3: It's up to the Blue Jays to make it worth
Speaker 3: our while. Indeed, but you know what is worth uh? You?
Speaker 3: We actually before actually before we did the countdown into
Speaker 3: the segment you were chanting for oh and uh, you know, honestly,
Speaker 3: I wasn't exactly sold on opa Femi.
Speaker 2: I wasn't. I wasn't. I still feel like he needed
Speaker 2: some more time.
Speaker 3: To to at least uh that forever, be at least
Speaker 3: to catch on to his character. But I think that
Speaker 3: the WWE creative team did a great job of actually
Speaker 3: just doing that.
Speaker 2: In one segment, it was Brock. You feel the hype
Speaker 2: a little more now? I do? I do.
Speaker 3: And for those of you who didn't see it, it was
Speaker 3: Brock Lesner uh taking out all of uh Seth Rawlins. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Seth Rollins, Buddies and and yes, sorry, the Puddy Patrol,
Speaker 3: the Puddy Patrol, yes, exactly. Uh yeah, taking all of
Speaker 3: them out and you know Seth Rawlins was obviously sound massively.
Speaker 3: It wasn't it was me Austin because you couldn't have
Speaker 3: done that for three sixteen anyway.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's just it was just pure chaos from
Speaker 3: brock Lesner. Absolutely no resistance was able to be had
Speaker 3: by the Puddy Patrol because you know, just brock Lessener
Speaker 3: is brock Lessner, right, But then Obafemi's music hits one
Speaker 3: power bomb, that's it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kept them down for a little while too. Now
Speaker 4: it was it was kind of cool in terms of
Speaker 4: the Seth portion of it, not the Putties, but the
Speaker 4: h like him kind of it's almost like a red herring,
Speaker 4: like he was gonna be the one to, uh to
Speaker 4: answer brock Lesnar's open challenge for WrestleMania, because that was
Speaker 4: still hanging at the time. But then you know, they
Speaker 4: had their little dust up and brock got rid of
Speaker 4: his minions and then and then the two of them
Speaker 4: had a face off, and then the lights went out
Speaker 4: and those green lasers came on.
Speaker 2: Right, man, It's that what an entrance. Let me tell you.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you get it now, but I've
Speaker 4: been watching this guy since NXT and OBA on entrance alone,
Speaker 4: Like the presentation is great, and he's he's definitely made
Speaker 4: a good go of it on NXC and now the
Speaker 4: main roster. I think they're doing a good job of
Speaker 4: transitioning into the main roster.
Speaker 3: So I do a pleasure with one power bomb is
Speaker 3: definitely a statement.
Speaker 4: And you know what, no matter what anybody says about
Speaker 4: Brock and whatever other outside stuff, he's he's gotten mixed
Speaker 4: up in to me, one of the all time greats
Speaker 4: because he knows how to work with talent that needs
Speaker 4: to be put over and he won't for those that
Speaker 4: shouldn't be that he finds that they shouldn't be and
Speaker 4: he'll just I guess, stubbornly just be the big guy.
Speaker 4: But he also knows when the right talent has to
Speaker 4: be put over by him, Like he did such a
Speaker 4: good job putting over Cody last year or the last
Speaker 4: two years, so that was part of Cody's like becoming
Speaker 4: Golden Boy was like Brock really did a lot, in
Speaker 4: my opinion to solidify that and now he's doing a
Speaker 4: great service to the next generation by way of Oba Feme.
Speaker 4: He sold that it out, power bomb, he did, He
Speaker 4: really did. He sold it for quite a while and
Speaker 4: then he couldn't even get up. He had to roll
Speaker 4: out of the ring to get away from it. And then,
Speaker 4: if you were paying close attention for those who like
Speaker 4: to to get way too into the unreal side of things,
Speaker 4: as brock Lesner was down, he shouted at oba Femi,
Speaker 4: say step on my chest, like you know when you
Speaker 4: point to the sign, ah, step on me m hm.
Speaker 4: So brock knows how to make the other guy shine.
Speaker 4: So like no matter what anybody says, Brock is one
Speaker 4: of the best at doing that. And I've seen it's
Speaker 4: way too many times now for me to deny it
Speaker 4: like Brock is great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well here's and also on that end as well,
Speaker 3: with brock Lesner being somebody who knows how to put
Speaker 3: over talent, he also knows how to play to the
Speaker 3: fans because all the times that he's faced off against
Speaker 3: John Cena, taking him to Suplex City, I think the
Speaker 3: first match was like he gave c that like all that,
Speaker 3: like twenty plus German souplexes.
Speaker 4: Yes, that was great too, man, I remember that I
Speaker 4: was stunned.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, no one else. Yeah, it was it
Speaker 2: was stunning to see that not stunning Steve lost him.
Speaker 3: But uh it was but but but but it was
Speaker 3: it was the beginning of the end of Superstena.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it was you know, contributing to the legacy
Speaker 4: of Brock Lesner to where he can now give back
Speaker 4: in times like this past Monday. So at first I
Speaker 4: kind of went into it thinking, okay, like if Oba
Speaker 4: answers the open challenge what she did on Monday, Like
Speaker 4: I felt that he maybe could have used a few
Speaker 4: more months of build to be facing somebody like Brock.
Speaker 4: But I'm down with it after Monday, Like, I'm okay.
Speaker 2: With that matchup. Which leads me to believe that either
Speaker 2: Seth is going to be facing maybe a Vision member
Speaker 2: or two, maybe in a tag match or something, uh
Speaker 2: he could, or that he's not actually cleared to wrestle yet.
Speaker 3: I would you know, there's a part of me that
Speaker 3: will assume that he's not cleared to wrestle, I mean,
Speaker 3: like not a full match anyway, right, Yeah, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: I And and at this point considering that like you know,
Speaker 3: at the at the time, he wasn't at the time
Speaker 3: he faked that he wasn't clear to wrestle, and then
Speaker 3: he did wrestle, and then like shortly after wasn't cleared
Speaker 3: to wrestle.
Speaker 2: I think he'll need to take a little bit more time.
Speaker 3: So uh And you know what, because Seth rawlins he's
Speaker 3: still you know, he's still in his thirties.
Speaker 2: He's still got a lot of.
Speaker 3: Gas left of the tank, uh in in this industry
Speaker 3: and uh and and he's and he's proven that he's.
Speaker 2: A w W lifer as well.
Speaker 3: So we're not going to see where we're not going
Speaker 3: to have a uh I guess uh a withdrawal period
Speaker 3: of uh of of Seth. I mean, I honestly can't
Speaker 3: believe how long he's actually been part of the WW
Speaker 3: programming all this time now when you look back on it,
Speaker 3: just like how long.
Speaker 2: He's actually been in the in the company.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a whole other topic that I've thought of
Speaker 4: here and there, Like if you compare a lot of
Speaker 4: the veterans of today and how long they've been in there,
Speaker 4: I mean, and then you compare that to back in
Speaker 4: the day in the Golden Era and the New Generation
Speaker 4: era and the Attitude era, those three eras were so
Speaker 4: short compared to stuff that's happened in the last decade.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at I mean Stone Cold, Steve Austin, I
Speaker 3: mean Austin, the Austoin three to sixteen era of what
Speaker 3: was that night, King of the Ring nineteen ninety five
Speaker 3: or ninety seven seven?
Speaker 2: Okay, so there you go.
Speaker 3: And then his final match, his final match, his fist
Speaker 3: final match as in his original run. Oh well, his
Speaker 3: final match in is in his prime run. I guess
Speaker 3: you would say that would be Rock Cold for Raw
Speaker 3: three in two thousand and three.
Speaker 2: So that was what six years yep, that's it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rock himself he was held when he headlined
Speaker 3: WrestleMania eighteen at Skydom with hul Cogan. It was he
Speaker 3: Jim Ross said that was he was only seven years
Speaker 3: in the industry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and.
Speaker 4: Then he left really the full time wrestling thing two
Speaker 4: years after that. Yeah, exactly exactly, So that what nine
Speaker 4: nine years now we have, like all the guys that
Speaker 4: have been top guys for the past little while have
Speaker 4: been there for about a dozen of fifteen years each.
Speaker 2: Or more.
Speaker 4: Yes, which is crazy. And yeah, the thought process in
Speaker 4: my mind, we could we could discuss this another time too,
Speaker 4: but the thought process in my mind was was, wow, like,
Speaker 4: it must be a huge challenge to to to you know, right,
Speaker 4: creative for these people because they've gone through so many
Speaker 4: iterations of themselves already, and you know, they've been around
Speaker 4: for more than a decade each as top people, and
Speaker 4: so yeah, how do you come up with ideas for
Speaker 4: that long and give them sustained momentum? You know, and
Speaker 4: with the amount of programming that's been put out compared
Speaker 4: to the programming back then too, I mean, like the
Speaker 4: volume of work they have to put out is crazy
Speaker 4: compared to those like legends and icons of the game
Speaker 4: from back in the day. Right, So it's just a
Speaker 4: whole like, it's a crazy comparison to see how wrestling
Speaker 4: has evolved to how it is today. And again, like
Speaker 4: you were saying, the medical and athletic standards that we
Speaker 4: see WWE especially like sticking to. So yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: I don't know if Seth's going to come back by Mania.
Speaker 4: He could And now here's another angle coming out of
Speaker 4: that that could be possible because this guy that I'm
Speaker 4: about to mention is a bit of a well in
Speaker 4: a family with a genetic creak himself. What if broun
Speaker 4: Breaker is able to come back by Mania and the
Speaker 4: Seth and bron Breaker thing does happen.
Speaker 3: I would like to see that bron Breaker. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: I was never a fan of his his dad and
Speaker 3: his uncle. I just I just never caught onto that.
Speaker 3: Uh that that gimmick. But bron Breaker also, I'm old, yeah,
Speaker 3: he's see I'm funking and Roman reigns. Yes, but it is.
Speaker 3: It is one of those things that Braun has is
Speaker 3: in a league of his own. And uh, the athleticism
Speaker 3: for such a big guy, for a hass like that
Speaker 3: guy to move as fast as a cruiserweight can, Yes, deadly,
Speaker 3: that's that's amazing, and it's mesmerizing to watch it is
Speaker 3: it is, And he's not at his peak yet.
Speaker 4: Obviously, he's very young in the game too, so it's
Speaker 4: exciting for me to see like how he comes back
Speaker 4: and how much more of a force he's going to
Speaker 4: be once he comes back. I would very much be
Speaker 4: okay with with Seth being able to face brown Breaker
Speaker 4: at this year's Menia. I don't know what kind of
Speaker 4: match they can put out because they're both healing from
Speaker 4: things supposedly well, now, Seth's the boy who cried wolf
Speaker 4: at this point, so anything could be the truth and
Speaker 4: you don't even know it now, so who knows? By
Speaker 4: him kind of not answering brock Lesner's open challenge, we
Speaker 4: could see Seth go right back to the vision and
Speaker 4: continue one of those stories.
Speaker 3: Ring sacheta new Stalksagama A sixty am. We're going to
Speaker 3: take a break, but before we do that, really really
Speaker 3: want to quickly say Dan Housen is three for three
Speaker 3: on curses. He cursed them is again and this time
Speaker 3: on the misty segment with Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson.
Speaker 3: Kit Wilson gets on jelly Rolls nerves and honestly, my
Speaker 3: nerves so good, so good on you. Kit Wilson accidentally
Speaker 3: knockings a Jelly Roll choice to hit Kit Wilson and
Speaker 3: accidentally knocks out them.
Speaker 2: Is three for three for Dan Housen. And that's the way.
Speaker 3: You booked a comedy act in.
Speaker 2: Wrestling takes a good job.
Speaker 3: W W and AW take notes well actually though they're
Speaker 3: more sports orient did anyway.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know what I'm going to say it again,
Speaker 2: they're the minor leagues.
Speaker 4: Sorry, eh, you know, you know, let's uh get it wrong.
Speaker 2: We'll be back after these promocial considerations.
Speaker 6: Hello everyone, this is former pro wrestling Slash Sports Entertainment

Speaker 2: Hey guys, I'm Sean Spears and you're listening to Ringside Heat.
Speaker 3: And welcome back to Ringside Heat on new Stalk SONGA
Speaker 3: nine sixty am, Lex stand At lextand Media, Ringside Heat,
Speaker 3: at Ringside Underscore Heat, Chico at Coco, Collects Episode thirteen,
Speaker 3: Ruthless eCos, Chris at Chaos, and three sixteen forever you
Speaker 3: can if you tuned in Lake, you can always tune
Speaker 3: in as well at five pm and nine pm on
Speaker 3: Wednesdays as well anytime on your favorite podcatcher. Before we
Speaker 3: get into the Austin to dive back into the stone
Speaker 3: called Stave Austin Talk, let's also go into h the
Speaker 3: main event or the or the final segment of ww
Speaker 3: RAW on Monday on three sixteen day, it was it
Speaker 3: was the third promo, uh that the third pro segment
Speaker 3: between See Him Punk and Roman Reigns and Chico go
Speaker 3: ahead and take it away.
Speaker 4: So, first of all, let's backtrack at the beginning of
Speaker 4: the night, when Roman Rerains arrived, he had a backstage
Speaker 4: interaction with his cousins of the Usos which we haven't
Speaker 4: seen for a while, and he then he then Roman
Speaker 4: took the camera and did a little call out to
Speaker 4: all of his Samoan bloodline.
Speaker 2: He said, you guys should all be upset.
Speaker 4: He looked right down the barrel of the camera and
Speaker 4: declared that you know, my whole family, wherever you are,
Speaker 4: you should be upset at what Punk said about my father,
Speaker 4: your uncle, et cetera. So it's almost like he sicked
Speaker 4: everybody on him. But he also said leading up to
Speaker 4: WrestleMania and during WrestleMania, Punk is all Roman Reigns is,
Speaker 4: So he's claiming him as kind of his kill for this,
Speaker 4: for this little shin dig we're going on here and
Speaker 4: then so that was kind of cool that that means
Speaker 4: stories can come out of WrestleMania where Punk is in
Speaker 4: trouble with all sorts of Samoans too, So like that's
Speaker 4: going to be like a lot of fun stories, I think.
Speaker 2: And then and then.
Speaker 4: He he kind of just like he left it at
Speaker 4: that with his brothers with with the USOS, I guess.
Speaker 4: And he well, he kind of was backstage with them
Speaker 4: as well, and we had a little taste of the
Speaker 4: old Bloodline mode where they were sitting in their dressing
Speaker 4: room and and and being chummy as Bloodline.
Speaker 2: Cohorts and things like that. So that was really cool.
Speaker 4: But then l A Knight, I don't really I didn't
Speaker 4: really get this way too much. But La Knight is
Speaker 4: kind of saying if the USO's revert to kind of
Speaker 4: being with Roman reigns again, that he's not about that.
Speaker 4: So I don't know where that's going. Uh don't really
Speaker 4: know where La Knight fits into all this, but whatever, Well,
Speaker 4: at least he's got something to do, I guess. So yeah,
Speaker 4: and why not attach yourself to the Samoan dynasty. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: So then the use it was when their thing, but
Speaker 4: then it was Punk and Raised at the end of
Speaker 4: the night.
Speaker 2: Now, of all the things in this war, of words.
Speaker 4: This tit for tat, you know, one upsmanship each week
Speaker 4: where one person gets the upper hand one week and
Speaker 4: the other one gets it the next week, et cetera.
Speaker 4: Of all the things to break CM Punk, to make
Speaker 4: him throw the first punch on Monday, it's Roman calling
Speaker 4: him old. I was a little perplexed because that's I
Speaker 4: feel like that's not something that would really bug Punk
Speaker 4: because Punk hasn't dyed his hair or anything like. He's
Speaker 4: just let it become saltmn pepper. So I'm interested to
Speaker 4: see where it goes. But that is what they presented
Speaker 4: as the triggering word for Punk at the end of
Speaker 4: the night. So Roman was all smiles. He looked like
Speaker 4: he was in heaven down at the bottom of the
Speaker 4: bottom rope. I mean, you know, while he was just
Speaker 4: sitting there after taking the punch.
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing, because he knew the mind games
Speaker 3: finally got to Punk that way. And consider that Punk
Speaker 3: has also already said that he's not going to be
Speaker 3: here forever. He might be, you know, on he might
Speaker 3: be on a retirement tour sometime in the nearer future himself.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know that that's.
Speaker 3: Something that that that that that's something that uh, realistically speaking,
Speaker 3: would be a could be a soft spot for for
Speaker 3: even a guy like CM Punk because you know, he's
Speaker 3: he's still you know, he's he still could wrestle, He's
Speaker 3: still at the top of this game.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: He and his wife are having the time of their
Speaker 3: lives right now being back in w W E and
Speaker 3: you know that, and and uh uh but the thing
Speaker 3: is that at the same time, you know, you're uh,
Speaker 3: you're going to run into that brick wall that that
Speaker 3: that that brick wall of that Father Time is set up.
Speaker 2: And you know father father Time is undefeated.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: That's at WrestleMania and wherever else. So that's true.
Speaker 4: I do like that each guy has gotten one up
Speaker 4: on the other guy, uh each week, and it's not
Speaker 4: just one person winning it. I like that, Like Punk
Speaker 4: left Roman kind of perplexed when when Punk pulled the
Speaker 4: father comment out of nowhere, you know, and then and
Speaker 4: then and then Roman this time, in retaliation hit him
Speaker 4: with the old thing and then that's what got him.
Speaker 4: So it's interesting to me. It's not what I'm expecting.
Speaker 4: But I love the heat that's.
Speaker 3: Going on right and and and you know, sometimes it's
Speaker 3: just those little things that that that that that can
Speaker 3: set you off, because you know, when I think about
Speaker 3: one of my favorite things that Stone called Steve Austin
Speaker 3: ever said in a promo headed up into WrestleMania was
Speaker 3: in what was leading up to the WrestleMania of seventeen, it
Speaker 3: was the Rock and Steve Austin talking about first talking
Speaker 3: about Deborah and the Rocks, like, you know, it's like
Speaker 3: Deborah's Deborah might be my manager, but she's not my responsibility.
Speaker 2: You're responsibility. She's your responsibility, she's your wife.
Speaker 3: And then Stone called Steve Austin uh in that same
Speaker 3: promo comes back and says, uh it as well. The
Speaker 3: fact of the matter is Rock, you've got the w
Speaker 3: w championship or you've got the w w F championship.
Speaker 3: Because at the time, you've got the w w F
Speaker 3: Championship and I want it.
Speaker 2: That's it. That's that that that that that's a.
Speaker 3: Simple motivation right there, and the way that they built
Speaker 3: it up in the ring over those weeks and when
Speaker 3: you look back on those videos, especially especially since w
Speaker 3: W e vault Is is putting those out right now,
Speaker 3: uh and so uh to get that sense of like
Speaker 3: you know, what what what really led up to this.
Speaker 3: I mean it's uh uh he's soon called Steve Austin
Speaker 3: obviously a Mount Rushmore wrestler, Like I think he's the
Speaker 3: I think he's probably one of the undisputed on the
Speaker 3: month Rushmore of of a professional wrestling I have to agree. Yeah,
Speaker 3: uh and so and so to end off the show,
Speaker 3: we only have a few minutes left here. I would
Speaker 3: like to talk about him a little bit more. But uh,
Speaker 3: I mean, uh, this he was. He wasn't just a wrestler,
Speaker 3: he was he he was a cultural correction, the anti
Speaker 3: hero blueprint. Uh. He broke the perfect hero mold that
Speaker 3: had been established by Vince McMahon through Hulk Hogan and
Speaker 3: Macho Man Randy Savage when he was a good guy
Speaker 3: and Lex Luger at least they tried with Lex Luger
Speaker 3: and Brett they hit man Heart until like you know,
Speaker 3: until the cracks started to until this transition started to happen.
Speaker 3: But Steve Austin broke it, broke that perfect hero mold
Speaker 3: for the WWF, and he made rebellion relatable.
Speaker 2: In that sort of sense.
Speaker 3: And uh and it Uh, I would say I would say,
Speaker 3: if not for Stone called Steve Austin. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: the rock coming up afterwards, that that was icing.
Speaker 2: That that that that was.
Speaker 3: You know, a big reason why the WWF won the
Speaker 3: Monday Night War. But but but it was more icing,
Speaker 3: I would say, the most amazing icing on the cake
Speaker 3: that stone calls he's also already baked.
Speaker 2: That's very true.
Speaker 4: Now, myself come in from a conservative upbringing and you know,
Speaker 4: kind of a traditional family values kind of family. I
Speaker 4: and it's no secret that my favorite of all time
Speaker 4: is Bretta hit Manhart, the guy that you mentioned there
Speaker 4: I had. I was struggling to get behind Stone Cold
Speaker 4: for the longest time because he was so vulgar, right,
Speaker 4: But that's just you know me me back then as well,
Speaker 4: where I was at, wasn't as keen on supporting somebody
Speaker 4: that would throw up middle fingers or swear on live
Speaker 4: television or you know kind of you know, do that
Speaker 4: kind of thing. He's very flippant and very rude kind
Speaker 4: of thing. So I struggled for the longest time. But eventually,
Speaker 4: and of course now after like a couple decades removed
Speaker 4: from from the heat of the attitude era, Man stone
Speaker 4: Cold really was objectively one of the goats for sure,
Speaker 4: And like you said, an undisputed spot on that Mount
Speaker 4: Rushmore I think belongs to Stone cald Steve Austin. He
Speaker 4: transcended the pro wrestling business. He also maximized his time
Speaker 4: because he had to get a lot out of not
Speaker 4: doing too much because of that unfortunate neck injury he
Speaker 4: got from that owen Hart pile driver. Yes, you know,
Speaker 4: like that changed the rest of his career, but he
Speaker 4: still hit his apex and everything despite struggling for the
Speaker 4: rest of his career with neck issues and other things too.
Speaker 4: So man, I'm happy for Steve that he's got peace
Speaker 4: riding off into the sunset per se or racing off
Speaker 4: in the sunset as he likes to do these days.
Speaker 4: He's one of the all time greats, and I have
Speaker 4: no problems recognizing that now. I always cherish when he
Speaker 4: gets to come in there and have a moment with
Speaker 4: somebody these days, if he chooses to, he should have
Speaker 4: done it on Monday. I'll still say that again, that
Speaker 4: was the best opportunity I would have taken three sixteen
Speaker 4: day in Texas of him appearing over him possibly appearing
Speaker 4: at WrestleMania. I think it just made more sense that way,
Speaker 4: but Stone Cold one of the all time greats mm hm.
Speaker 3: And you know what, I think one thing that I'm
Speaker 3: not sure correct me if I'm wrong, because I because
Speaker 3: you've been with me through all my my entire wrestling
Speaker 3: fandom journey over here. Is there a moment that that
Speaker 3: that that that we ever got, like you know, a
Speaker 3: live glass shatters and like we're just and and we're
Speaker 3: just you know, popping out of our minds like in
Speaker 3: a live event, because we've because obviously we've seen that
Speaker 3: on TV and like Wresselming youa thirty eight against against
Speaker 3: Kevin Owens or thirty nine, whichever one it was thirty
Speaker 3: when you faced off against Kevin Owens and just like
Speaker 3: you know, hearing the glass shatter and it's just it
Speaker 3: just it just instantly gets you. It gets you primal screaming.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd have to look back and think about all
Speaker 4: the events you and I have been at.
Speaker 2: You mean, like a live event where Stone Cold came
Speaker 2: in and you know, the place popped, that's what you mean?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I would.
Speaker 4: Think that you and I have not seen that at
Speaker 4: all in person, hm. But it certainly like he's so
Speaker 4: good that it feels like you're there. Whenever the glass
Speaker 4: shatters on TV or on p l E s or
Speaker 4: pay per views back then, it feels like you're there
Speaker 4: because you know, it was just so great, like it
Speaker 4: just jumped off of the screen and you felt like
Speaker 4: you were there experiencing it.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And that's and it's not just the uh if it's
Speaker 3: not just the fans and attendance that that that contribute
Speaker 3: to that, because obviously they do. Uh they're the it's
Speaker 3: the it's the way that the WWE broadcast team captures
Speaker 3: it so well. How in how insane w w E
Speaker 3: fans get when the glass shatters, it's still call Steve
Speaker 3: Austin's music starts up.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say just to credit the announcers that you said,
Speaker 4: particularly good Old j R, Jim Ross and Jerry the
Speaker 4: King Lawler, like they were such a huge part of
Speaker 4: of the peak of Stone Cold's career.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And it's and and it's one of the most memorable
Speaker 3: things that Jim Ross could ever say, is him.
Speaker 2: Just screaming all like screaming at the top of his lungs.
Speaker 2: Still could Stann could Stan could sound.
Speaker 3: Could It's just it's just it's uh, listening back to
Speaker 3: that just like that's just it's not even nostalgia.
Speaker 2: That's just greatness, you know.
Speaker 3: And greatness is timeless and you don't need nostalgia for timelessness.
Speaker 3: And uh and and I guess, uh, I think and
Speaker 3: I think something that i'd like to you know, think about.
Speaker 2: I guess uh for our listeners.
Speaker 3: Uh, if you were listening and you want to get
Speaker 3: back to us, uh, these three questions, does the w
Speaker 3: w F win the Monday Night War without Austin, and
Speaker 3: without Austin, this World Championship Wrestling survive?
Speaker 2: And does the w w even become what it is today?
Speaker 3: That's something I'd like to leave you, our listeners here
Speaker 3: with to ponder over the next weekend.
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll answer that next week as well when.
Speaker 3: We talk some more wrestling on the World to Wrestle
Speaker 3: Media here on Ringside Heat on New Stok, Socco Man
Speaker 3: at sixty AM, Chico at Coco, Collects stand at lextand
Speaker 3: Media Ringside Underscore at Ringside Underscore Heat for the show.
Speaker 2: And we do remember the things that you probably forgot.
Speaker 2: What we do remember the things you probably forgot? All right?
Speaker 2: We remember the things you probably forgot
