Richardson from The Charles Richardson Show.

15
00:00:56,439 --> 00:01:00,439
Speaker 3: Hello, Charles, greetings, and thanks for having me on last

16
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:01,200
day of February.

17
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely so uh. I know this doesn't affect you because

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,640
you are in Florida, but I like to think of

19
00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,000
the last day of February as being the last day

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,760
of winter. And I'll tell you why, because my something,

21
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:14,799
my Dad taught me he likes to think. He liked

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,799
to think of winter as really only being two months long,

23
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,840
just January and February, because most of December is technically

24
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:23,519
still fall, so then you have January and February to

25
00:01:23,519 --> 00:01:25,239
contend with, and by the time you get to March,

26
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,680
it's technically still winter. But at that point, you know,

27
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:29,879
whatever happens happens, you don't care because any day now

28
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,400
it's all gonna warm up and everything's gonna melt and

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,079
it's gonna be fine. So in my mind, tomorrow, March first,

30
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:40,719
is the first day of spring. Okay, but where you are,

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,920
it doesn't matter, right.

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: It don't matter. It's spring except for a few fragments

33
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:50,239
of really really chilly air. I'm not gonna say cold,

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,879
because I am I am northern or by blood. I

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,719
was the one that went out here in t shirts

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,200
and shorts wets forty degrees, and I see the rest

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,000
of the people bundle up like it's gonna be a

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,879
blizzard soon. So it's if people look at me weird,

39
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,359
I look at them weird too. Like in the fifties,

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,599
people are still bundling up with with layers and layers

41
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,479
like are you crazy, right, Come on, it's it just

42
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:15,199
doesn't bother me. Maybe also because I like three hundred pounds,

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,280
so it's like me a little bit more so.

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,719
Speaker 2: You don't get cold as easily as uh no, maybe

45
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,919
other other folks.

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: No, everybody else. Everybody else is turning on the heat Monday,

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,479
and it's like thirty five degrees over here. I got

48
00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,919
the window open and I'm sleeping in my normal thing.

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,599
So it's like I was, I was in heaven.

50
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,039
Speaker 2: How how cold is it in the winter there?

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,479
Speaker 3: Like that?

52
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:39,879
Speaker 2: Is it getting down to thirty five? Is that normal?

53
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: Uh?

54
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 3: In about so the cumlative days that it gets into

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:51,319
the thirties, I have two hands to count the days. Really, yeah,

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,479
it doesn't. It doesn't happen that often. And when it does,

57
00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:58,560
they have a thing called falling iguana warnings that are

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,439
down here. Really kid you not. I'd use another word,

59
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,120
but just that, that's how ridiculous it sounds. Is Literally,

60
00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:11,000
if it gets below forty degrees, the i guanas will

61
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,120
literally freeze, frozen and fall from trees. They're not dead, why,

62
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,680
they're just frozen and they fall. And there's that's literally

63
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:20,879
a thing down here.

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: I'd never heard of this before.

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: So when you go ahead and hear, well, have you

66
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:27,400
never heard of it, then I'm not gonna hear it.

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:27,719
Speaker 2: Right.

68
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,439
Speaker 3: But every time you hear a frozen to guana warning

69
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:33,400
down here in Florida, it's literally things like don't don't,

70
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,639
don't kill the iguanas or anything. They're still alive. They're

71
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:40,719
just they're hibernating warms up again.

72
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:43,759
Speaker 2: I'll be damned. Oh that's wild. Yeah, I had no idea.

73
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:44,719
I had no idea.

74
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's crazy.

75
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of iguanas. By the way, I don't know how

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,520
you feel about him. Jenny and I are both very

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,159
big fans of mister Iguana.

78
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah I heard. I heard. Listen to me, that was

79
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,280
a wasted row rumble spot. Oh he didn't. He didn't

80
00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:04,599
do a whole lot. And he looked like he looked

81
00:04:04,599 --> 00:04:05,840
like doing the clown to me.

82
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:06,919
Speaker 2: Oh.

83
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,879
Speaker 3: Yes, he's very Listen, he's very athletic. I'm not gonna

84
00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:13,759
say anything, but it's like, listen, give him bring him

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,399
up to to to nxt LIMB. See what he can

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,279
do on that. You know, I know he's in triple

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,360
A and everything. So okay, it's fine. He's gonna get

88
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:25,160
his fair share. Of exposure. But to me, mister Iana,

89
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,879
it sounds like a Vince mcman gimmick name. It really does.

90
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:30,720
I'm not gonna say. I'm not gonna say he's not

91
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,199
talented or anything like that. Yeah, I'm just saying that

92
00:04:33,519 --> 00:04:38,040
the first exposure I have mister Guana. No, it's just

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,839
it doesn't rub me the right way. It really doesn't.

94
00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:45,399
We love, we love this, apparently I have. I have

95
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,279
very quick judgment to the name. Well, not not the man.

96
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:50,959
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, I got a bunch of

97
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,240
crap for it. On So on Friday nights, I'm a

98
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,319
co host on Retrospectrum Radio with poly C and they

99
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,680
they they they recently gave gave me a bunch of

100
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,680
crap about my love for mister Iguana. But I think

101
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,319
he's great. I say, put the belt on him, make

102
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:07,040
him the champion.

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: What do you think, Yeah, definitely put a belt on

104
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,040
him so you can go ahead and hold this tights

105
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,319
up a little bit better. Belt. Well.

106
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,879
Speaker 2: Part of why we're talking today, of course, aside from

107
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,279
the fact that we always love to have you on,

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,600
of course, and you are the host of the Charles

109
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,480
Richardson Show. But today, speaking of shows, is elimination Chamber. Now,

110
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,480
I should tell you that Jenny and I have not

111
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,000
yet watched SmackDown. And the reason we haven't watched SmackDown

112
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:37,959
yet is because on Friday nights, I, of course, am

113
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,399
on retrospectrum radio, so we usually don't get to smack

114
00:05:40,439 --> 00:05:44,399
Down until Saturday, and then we won't even get to

115
00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:49,600
Elimination Chamber until either later this evening or possibly even tomorrow,

116
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,920
so we may be a little bit behind. Now. I'm

117
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:56,399
not putting any limitations on our conversation, of course, but

118
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,759
I'm just offering this as a spoiler alert. Jenny doesn't

119
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,879
like spoilers, so if we're if we talk about SmackDown

120
00:06:02,879 --> 00:06:04,399
at all, which I assume we will, because that will

121
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,040
affect the elimination Chamber. You know, Jenny might want to

122
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,920
tune out because I don't mind spoilers. Uh. But Jenny,

123
00:06:11,959 --> 00:06:13,959
of course, Uh, I know she doesn't want any, so

124
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,480
this will give her a chance to, uh to shut

125
00:06:16,519 --> 00:06:19,800
this off if she's listening. But but I, but I

126
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,879
I think something you got good?

127
00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: You got you got three seconds, two seconds, one second,

128
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,319
And I have just one word for you. It's three letters,

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120
and it's USO and the reason why I say USO

130
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:38,720
is because USO is out of the elimination chamber. Okay,

131
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,720
thanks to the very first part of SmackDown. He got

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,920
beaten down in an ambulance and the rumors were it

133
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:53,279
was Drew McIntyre. Okay, So that opened up a spot

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:59,800
for Jacob Fattou and a part of the Vision which

135
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:04,319
probably guests doing one that's not injured. It's Logan Paul.

136
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,560
Actually he should be austin theory is not injured, but

137
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,000
do we really count him right anyway, But so Logan

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,959
and Paul and Fatu went ahead and got into a match,

139
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,160
and the final elimination Chamber of spot goes to Matt

140
00:07:16,199 --> 00:07:17,600
I'm gonna give you a guess.

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: But Jacob Fatu, no, oh, Logan.

142
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:23,279
Speaker 3: Paul because du Bac and Tyre has to.

143
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: Wait what say that again?

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,759
Speaker 3: It is the final entrant in the elimination chamber. So

145
00:07:31,079 --> 00:07:33,800
Jay us So is out, Logan Paul is in.

146
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: Just fyi, oh okay, gotcha? Gotcha. By the way, what

147
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,879
do you think of Logan Paul? Because I know he's

148
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,399
he's kind of divisive. I think I think he's incredible

149
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:46,560
as a I mean, I'm not I'm not so sure

150
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,319
about some of the other things he's gotten involved in

151
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,439
in terms of business practices and so forth. But lot

152
00:07:51,439 --> 00:07:53,399
of people call him a scammer, this and that. But

153
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,720
I think as a professional wrestler, I think he's incredible.

154
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 3: I think Logan Paul is actually mister Iguana.

155
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,519
Speaker 2: He's too tall, too tall.

156
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 3: I'm just saying he's very athletic. I mean, definitely, he

157
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:12,360
has all the characteristics of being a WWE guy. He

158
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,720
really does. And I'm not gonna call him a superstar

159
00:08:14,839 --> 00:08:18,199
or a wrestler because I guess they're neither, you know, so,

160
00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:22,439
But Logan Paul's got everything. He's dazzled us in the ring.

161
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,079
He really does. Now he's becoming a full time thing

162
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,920
because I guess his YouTube channel making money anymore. I

163
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:33,440
don't know. But you know, he's obviously been an influencer,

164
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,879
which that's a thing nowadays. That's a that's a career

165
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,879
choice along with only fans. That's a career choice now.

166
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:47,320
And now he's turned in he's actually making himself full time,

167
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,080
which I am very happy to see. That way, you

168
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:53,639
can really see what he's like in the ring three

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,840
hundred and sixty five days a year and We'll see

170
00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:59,960
how he handles himself with his character, and I think

171
00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,120
put him in in the vision is a good way

172
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:07,480
to kind of mask any oopsies that he may do

173
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,480
because he's with a group, and who better to mentor

174
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,360
than Paul Haymon. Paul Haymon is done, CM Punk done,

175
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:22,080
brock Lesner, he's done, Roman Reigns. All those careers basically

176
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,360
took off with Paul Haymon involved. And you got to

177
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,519
give the Walrus his due. We really do so. I

178
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:32,399
think Logan Paul, I think he's going to be excellent.

179
00:09:32,639 --> 00:09:35,600
As a matter of fact, I don't doubt that he

180
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,720
wins tonight.

181
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 2: Oh you think really? You think he's going to win

182
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,679
the elimination chaper.

183
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: I don't have a solid bet on that one, but

184
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:48,039
he's I mean, he could be built up to it

185
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,960
because I think a lot of I think a lot

186
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,240
of the storytelling has tooken some turns because of injuries.

187
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:58,399
I think it should have been Bronson Reid in that

188
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,200
last spot, but get injured.

189
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: Uh Triceptare, Yeah, I believe it is tricept or Bicptar. Yeah.

190
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: I know it had something to do with the tries.

191
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,120
So I think he was supposed to be one in there,

192
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,879
but I think they had they had to make a pivot,

193
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:17,519
and that's why jay Us he won, wasn't supposed to win.

194
00:10:17,639 --> 00:10:20,519
That's why he's beating up now and that that's the

195
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,960
that's the swagger, that that's the swing they're doing. So

196
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,840
I don't I wouldn't be surprised if Logan Paul is

197
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:29,759
set to go ahead and uh and win, or at

198
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,960
least be in the final two.

199
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,039
Speaker 2: I think it's very unlikely that he wins because they're

200
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,639
not gonna want to send him to WrestleMania the main event, right,

201
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,480
I mean not yet. Maybe next year eventually, but not yet.

202
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 3: You no, no, no, I mean you take take a

203
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,399
look at if you take a look at the men's chamber,

204
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,120
that the chamber match, you got Cody Rhoades, Javon Evans,

205
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,919
l a Night, Logan Paul, Randy Won, and Trick Williams,

206
00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:59,279
a lot of new lou faces. I like Trick, Oh yeah, Trick.

207
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,600
I like Javon. Javon could do some amazing things in

208
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,759
that in that chamber.

209
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jenny loves him too. Yeah, Evans incredible.

210
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: I really hope and I know this is probably not

211
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,919
gonna be true, but I really hope it is not Cody,

212
00:11:19,519 --> 00:11:20,519
and it's not Randy.

213
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,519
Speaker 2: Okay, somebody else.

214
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:28,159
Speaker 3: Take this rein somebody that, somebody that's a face if

215
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,519
you take a look, really, all of these people are

216
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,159
faces except Logan ball.

217
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: Well.

218
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: Trick Williams is kind of I don't know what to

219
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,240
think because he he acts like a heel. Everything about

220
00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:43,440
him is a heel, but the fans love him.

221
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 3: I'm saying, it's like, if you want to go, I

222
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
think Trick is all about Trick. He doesn't care about

223
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,399
anybody else. He's so I don't call him a face

224
00:11:51,519 --> 00:11:55,200
or a heel. I think he's just he's just for himself. Yeah,

225
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,000
So does that make him a heel? I don't think so,

226
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,159
I think, but it definitely doesn't make him. You know,

227
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:04,360
him being a crowd favorite, I think automatically puts him

228
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:05,960
into that face category.

229
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the crowd explodes when his music hits. I mean,

230
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,039
that's the bigg he gets the biggest. He gets a

231
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,159
bigger face pop than most of the babyfaces, even though

232
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,320
he acts like a heel. He kind of reminds me

233
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,440
of the rock, you know, the rock, even when the

234
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,200
rock was a baby face early on, you know, he

235
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,799
was he was all about himself. You know, he wasn't

236
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,799
the most empathetic babyface, and I think Trick Williams is

237
00:12:28,879 --> 00:12:33,360
probably a very similar to that. I certainly don't think

238
00:12:33,399 --> 00:12:35,759
it's going to be Randy Orton. I think it's most

239
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:38,240
likely to be Cody Rhoads, but they may also If

240
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,240
it's not Cody, then that means they're going to use

241
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,919
tonight's match to because they've been teasing it for so long,

242
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:48,159
there's finally going to be some sort of a breakdown

243
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,759
between Cody Roads and Randy Orton.

244
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 3: Do you think so?

245
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: I do. I think that they're They've been teasing that

246
00:12:54,919 --> 00:12:56,600
and teasing it, and I think I think this is

247
00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:57,399
going to be the moment.

248
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 3: It's finally about time, right, It's about time to see

249
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,279
heel Roads roseby and a heel or.

250
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: Well or the Randy Orton heel turn. But the problem

251
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,679
with turning Orton heel is he is so and he

252
00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,279
has been since he came back for the past couple

253
00:13:13,279 --> 00:13:16,799
of years. He is so over as a babyface. The

254
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,360
way the fans sing his song, I've never seen him

255
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:23,519
as over as a babyface, even though he's an excellent.

256
00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:27,639
Heel so you think so okay, So you think tonight

257
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480
they pulled the trigger on the Cody Roads heel turn.

258
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: I didn't say that. I was asking you if you

259
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,759
think that's the Oh, okay, I I don't.

260
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: Know if they it's so there's so much risk in

261
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240
doing it. I want to see it. Jenny wants to

262
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:46,159
see it too. She was saying she's ready for it.

263
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,360
I think it would be great. I have long speculated

264
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,000
because we don't know. They've never told us who actually

265
00:13:53,159 --> 00:13:56,039
is responsible for the attack on Jacob fat too, And

266
00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:01,600
I've said all along, what if it's Cody. Hmmm, what

267
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:03,600
if it somehow is revealed that it was Cody.

268
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: That's interesting. I think that's really too far off. But

269
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:08,120
you know what, it would be the first time that

270
00:14:08,279 --> 00:14:09,320
w W surprised me.

271
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: They dropped a hint though they opened the door. Right

272
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,360
after it happened, there was a conversation between Cody Rhoads

273
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:19,039
and Nick All This where Cody Rhoads said to Nick

274
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,000
All this, by the way, I'm really sorry about what

275
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,960
happened to Jacob. I like Jacob, it's terrible, and then

276
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,399
he moved on to something else in their conversation. But

277
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,799
I remember him saying that and thinking why did they

278
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:32,000
have him go out of his way to say that

279
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,559
and to say how much he likes Jacob Plot too? Why?

280
00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:38,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, because because fat two cost Roads to

281
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:42,200
Belt literally in that that match. So they they've had

282
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,559
some beef. But hey, you know what that that's that

283
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:47,759
makes a lot of sense too. If they will go

284
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:49,799
ahead and pull the trigger, all right, I wouldn't be

285
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,960
I wouldn't be too shocked on that. Yeah, I don't

286
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,360
think why would it make Roads a bad guy? That

287
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,480
was just one guy that he has a thing against it.

288
00:14:57,639 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if it turned out he's the one responsible

289
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:01,759
for the attack, I mean, that's a heel thing to do.

290
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,080
That's that you know, a baby face wouldn't do that.

291
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's true, that's true.

292
00:15:06,279 --> 00:15:08,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it is but it is risky there, there's

293
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,679
there's always a risk to it. But but the shock

294
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,799
of it would be a lot of fun.

295
00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're gonna if you're gonna make a heel turn, listen,

296
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,360
don't be like, don't do to Cody like you did

297
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,720
John Cena And just like eh merchandise is up, You're

298
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,720
just gonna keep your face and face. No, turn him,

299
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,919
turn him, if you're gonna do it, turn them.

300
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

301
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:29,879
Speaker 3: I mean Cody even said he came out and said,

302
00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:31,879
the next contract you gets to WW is gonna be

303
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:32,320
his last.

304
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know what, let's just do it, Just

305
00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:37,919
do it. Yeah, But what's it.

306
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,159
Speaker 3: Really gonna hurt? You know? Orton's on the end of

307
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,639
his career, Cody's on the end of his career. Man

308
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,679
love to see La Night win. I would love to

309
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,120
see l A Night. I think he's overdue a push

310
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,000
for so long. I love to see him against Drew.

311
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,159
Speaker 2: I would love to see it too, And I think

312
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,879
most of the fans would love to see it. I

313
00:15:57,159 --> 00:16:00,759
just don't think they're going to. Did you watch well?

314
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,919
So let me ask you this because it's has to

315
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,120
do with my thought on La Night. Do you think

316
00:16:06,159 --> 00:16:08,639
they lost confidence in him? Because I assumed Did you

317
00:16:08,679 --> 00:16:10,200
watch WWE Unreal?

318
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:11,399
Speaker 1: No?

319
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:11,919
Speaker 3: I didn't.

320
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: Oh you haven't seen it.

321
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I've seen. I've seen two episodes of the first season.

322
00:16:17,279 --> 00:16:18,720
I am so behind on that. Oh.

323
00:16:19,039 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: Jenny and I ended up binge watching it because it's

324
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,600
so good and I know a lot of it. There's

325
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
a lot of negativity negativity online toward that show, and

326
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,440
I don't quite understand it. I think it's I think

327
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,279
it's fantastic. I know, I know a lot of the

328
00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,679
podcasters don't like it. James Romero hates it. I think

329
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:37,000
it's really good. But but there's a moment you might

330
00:16:37,039 --> 00:16:39,360
be aware of this. There's there is a moment where,

331
00:16:39,679 --> 00:16:41,679
because when they did money in the bank, l A.

332
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,159
Knight apparently made a mistake and it screwed up the

333
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,960
ending of the match. And there's a scene in Unreal

334
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,080
where Triple H is kind of telling l. A. Knight, Look,

335
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,320
you really mess this up. Here's what was supposed to happen.

336
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,519
I don't know what you were thinking, that kind of thing.

337
00:16:57,039 --> 00:16:59,440
And so it has a lot of people speculating that

338
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,039
they may have confidence in L. A. Night and that's

339
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,799
why he remains He's always like on the edge of

340
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,640
being in main events, but he never quite quite gets

341
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,519
that push all the way to the top. And uh

342
00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:14,400
and and the speculation that that might be why Eric

343
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,359
Pilch and Austin and I we talked about it on

344
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,319
Touff Bumps recently. You know that that may be the reason.

345
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of politics to go on behind

346
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,480
the scenes too, whether you get a push or not.

347
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,759
And you know, my my question has always been listening.

348
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:30,200
He's over with the crowd. You know, we enjoy I

349
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,240
enjoy his matches. I think he has a love of athleticism.

350
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,720
He's not a typical three moves of doom type of person.

351
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,920
You know, he's got he he he's got a good finisher.

352
00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:42,440
Why are we not pushing him?

353
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,519
Speaker 1: What?

354
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,759
Speaker 3: What? What's the what's the hold up? What's going on?

355
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,400
And stuff like that behind the scenes when you're not

356
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:51,359
cooperating with what was supposed to be planned, and they're

357
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,319
kind of like saying, you know what the deal is, Yeah,

358
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,279
that can hold you back, That really can't so uh

359
00:17:57,599 --> 00:18:01,759
And and to backtrack, listen, Unreal is for the person

360
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,319
that kind of wants to see what's going on. Paul

361
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,599
Haymon's come out and says he absolutely hates it.

362
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: He says it right on the show.

363
00:18:09,519 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, he hates it because it's literally, you're pulling

364
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,680
the curtain way too far back and that's supposed to

365
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,559
be kept sacred, right and steam punk kind of feels

366
00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:20,319
the same way a little bit, he said. He he

367
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,440
refused to do a couple of things that they asked

368
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:24,319
him to do or he asked them to cut it

369
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,680
out or something like that. So yeah, it is really

370
00:18:28,319 --> 00:18:32,440
one of those things where it it polarizes the industry

371
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,240
a little bit because it's like, you know, a lot

372
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,279
of people are against it and listen to what's kept

373
00:18:38,799 --> 00:18:41,279
behind that curtain, should be kept behind that curtain?

374
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:46,039
Speaker 2: M out Yeah, I love all that stuff even you know,

375
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,440
even if but see, I would enjoy that show even

376
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:52,160
if it didn't pull back the curtain as much. But

377
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,880
it just kind of showed you behind the scenes how

378
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,039
things work, you know, and gorilla position and everything. You know,

379
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,519
even if they even if they didn't give anything away really,

380
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:02,319
even if it was a little bit more k fame,

381
00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:05,519
but still it showed you kind of kind of just

382
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,079
how things work behind the scenes. I would still even

383
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,440
find that really fascinating, just because I love that kind

384
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,119
of stuff anyway. I always have.

385
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,079
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, who do you think of when you

386
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,039
see Drew McIntyre on camera? You think of him as,

387
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,799
you think of him as not a nice guy, you

388
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,559
and now you take a look behind the scenes and

389
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,119
it's like, oh, well, you know he's he's he's a

390
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,240
loving husband, father or whatever they whatever he is, you know,

391
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,400
and you know he's actually gotta got a human side

392
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,400
to him, right, you know, say, you know the same

393
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,000
thing with Solo Socoa Solo was you know, just he's

394
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,559
he's a he's a bad guy, but you know, behind

395
00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:47,759
the scenes, you know, he's got a family, just like

396
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:51,359
everybody else does, you know, And and and that's that's

397
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,880
the way, you know, you need to take a look

398
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,119
at I mean, a lot of people, they they want

399
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,000
just the image on TV, so they can generally hate

400
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:03,839
somebody or like somebody based on what they see on

401
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,400
the camera. But I think you know, there's a lot

402
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,559
more people that know that, listen, this is a character.

403
00:20:10,039 --> 00:20:16,519
Yeah it's not really them, right, But you know, but

404
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,119
what does that do to the character that now it's

405
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,920
kind of like a little bit clouded? Do I cheer

406
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,920
for him or do I do I hate him? Because

407
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:27,559
you know who they are behind the scenes and how

408
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,920
they are as a real person, but they're playing a

409
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:30,680
bad guy.

410
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean to me, it doesn't bother me, It

411
00:20:34,079 --> 00:20:37,039
never has. I compartmentalize it pretty easily because I just

412
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,759
look at it the same way I look at anything else.

413
00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:42,920
You know, they're they're they're actors, so so I you know,

414
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,160
I'm not the slightest bit bothered by seeing, you know,

415
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,880
somebody like Drew McIntyre who's supposed to be a bad guy.

416
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:51,039
You know, when I when I see him outside in

417
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,319
a different context and it turns out he's actually a

418
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,440
nice guy, it's like, well, yeah, I actually kind of

419
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,119
assumed that already. I assume he's not the character that

420
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,559
he plays on television, just like with that anything else.

421
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,319
So it's it's never bothered me.

422
00:21:03,519 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You still have you still have these

423
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,160
simple minded people who are just getting into wrestling thinking,

424
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:11,839
oh my god, well, why are they allowed to do

425
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:12,799
that called the cop?

426
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, relax, it's a show. Yes, yes, oh my word.

427
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 3: They said wrestling was fake. This looks so real. It's

428
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000
fake because the outcomes are predetermined.

429
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: It is weird to me, though, that in the year

430
00:21:28,319 --> 00:21:31,759
twenty twenty six, because as a wrestling fan, I've been

431
00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:33,640
dealing with this my whole life. And I'm sure you

432
00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:38,440
have two as every wrestling fan has. Even today, I'll

433
00:21:38,519 --> 00:21:41,799
have a conversation with someone who doesn't like wrestling and

434
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,920
they will say to me, well, you know, it's all fake, right,

435
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:49,279
It's like, no kidding, Really.

436
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: It's scripted.

437
00:21:50,079 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: It's scripted entertainment. Wow, No, I thought it was all real.

438
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,440
I also thought Star Trek was real. I thought it

439
00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:59,799
was a documentary about going into outer space. I thought

440
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,000
of Thrones were real. I thought those dragons were real dragons. Like,

441
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,240
it's so insulting. It's like because when somebody says that

442
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,160
to me, to me, it's like, what they're really saying

443
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:12,519
is either they think I'm an idiot or or they

444
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,319
they just or they just look down on something that

445
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,279
I happen to, Like it's just because they don't like it.

446
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 3: What's the sacond one? It's yeah, they're not calling you

447
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,759
an idiot. I think it's them they're being idiots. It's

448
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,160
it's like, you really think that we don't know. You

449
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,160
really think we don't know? Oh, yes, we know they're

450
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,599
going through tables and yes, how do you prevent that

451
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:39,400
from being fake? What is it?

452
00:22:39,519 --> 00:22:39,799
Speaker 2: AI?

453
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,559
Speaker 3: It's table to AI. This is just a character that's

454
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,319
that's dropping on tails. It's really a big mattress pad

455
00:22:47,759 --> 00:22:52,119
that they fall. We know that they listen. It's it's

456
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,799
fake to a point. Listen, you get bumps and bruises.

457
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,720
That's the reason why there's injuries.

458
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 2: Now, the injuries are real.

459
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 3: You are taking risk, but it is calculated risks.

460
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not.

461
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: We're not gonna throw somebody off of still cage and

462
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,039
they're gonna land on concrete. No, there's gonna be something

463
00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:13,680
to break the fall. So there's not a serious injury, right,

464
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,839
you know, it's it's that point there is still bumps

465
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,599
and bruises, you know, it's people still deal with pain.

466
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I may have told this story. I know I've told.

467
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:29,480
I can't remember who I've told this story to and

468
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:31,440
who I haven't, So I don't know if listeners have

469
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:33,599
heard this yet or have heard this before, or if

470
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:37,000
you have. Charles. But when I was a kid, so

471
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:40,400
I had a friend who really looked down on wrestling,

472
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,720
and we're having a conversation about it and uh, and

473
00:23:42,839 --> 00:23:44,559
he pulled that with me. He's like, well, you know

474
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,160
it's fake, right, And I'm like, yeah, I know obviously,

475
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,519
even when I was a kid, I mean I knew,

476
00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,160
I understood it was scripted entertainment. And I remember he

477
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,440
said to me, he goes, well, if there's a if,

478
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,559
it's all if it's all predetermined. Where's the integrity in it?

479
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,640
That's literally what he said to me, where's the integrity?

480
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,200
And I knew about him, And there's by the way,

481
00:24:04,279 --> 00:24:07,240
there's a horrible irony to what I'm about to say,

482
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,240
But this is how the conversation went. I said to

483
00:24:10,319 --> 00:24:11,759
him because I knew he was a fan of the

484
00:24:11,839 --> 00:24:15,079
Cosby Show. So I said to him, I said, well,

485
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,799
you like the Cosby Show, right, and he goes yeah,

486
00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:21,279
And I said, well, did you know that that's all fake?

487
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,960
Did you know that Cliff Huxtable, that his name is

488
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,480
an actually Cliff Huxtable, and that it's really Bill Cosby

489
00:24:28,839 --> 00:24:32,640
and he's an actor and that's not a real family.

490
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,720
They're all actors and they're just pretending. Where's the integrity

491
00:24:35,759 --> 00:24:37,720
in the Cosby Now? Of course, again, what we know

492
00:24:37,799 --> 00:24:39,960
about Bill Cosby today, that's the part that makes it

493
00:24:40,559 --> 00:24:44,079
horribly ironic, uncomfortably so, actually, But we didn't know that.

494
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:46,599
But I just remember saying that to him. It's like, yeah, well,

495
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,359
where's the integrity in the Cosby Show? That's all fake?

496
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,319
You know, it's all scripted, you know, But but again,

497
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:53,920
you know, and that was when I was a kid

498
00:24:54,039 --> 00:24:55,640
and you know, here we are in twenty twenty six

499
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,319
and people still come at us with that, and it's like, yeah,

500
00:24:58,559 --> 00:24:59,920
we know, it's fun.

501
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:03,599
Speaker 3: It's just it's just now, it's it's the circle of life.

502
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,559
It's the circle of disbelief. That's what it is. You

503
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,039
got these new new kids that are like it's fake,

504
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,559
you know, yeah, And and you know what, in twenty years,

505
00:25:12,599 --> 00:25:14,799
it's gonna be the same thing. It's gonna be the

506
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,440
same thing. But hopefully by then, maybe we you know,

507
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:25,920
evolve from these apes of people that you know, would

508
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,799
would like we would go to humans to understand that

509
00:25:29,079 --> 00:25:32,240
this is all entertainment. It's all it is. But it's fun.

510
00:25:33,039 --> 00:25:35,559
It's fun, just like you know, you ladies out there

511
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,240
like your soap operas. You realize that Salem is not

512
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,160
really a place. It's based on a place, but it's

513
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,000
not really a place.

514
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:42,599
Speaker 2: Salem.

515
00:25:44,599 --> 00:25:46,319
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't even know if it's Salem. Master. I

516
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,480
think my wife says, like Illinois, they they they're based

517
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:51,599
in Salem, Illinois. What day of our lives?

518
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:52,519
Speaker 2: Oh, days of our lives?

519
00:25:52,559 --> 00:25:56,799
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you know it's like, you know, you got

520
00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:00,279
the I just love this, I love it. I don't

521
00:26:00,279 --> 00:26:03,200
watch it, trust me. But I've seen things that she

522
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,799
watches on that soap opera. Literally, if there's like a

523
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,319
fight and there they're holding some hostage at gunpoint, that

524
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:13,160
gun point last for five episodes.

525
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: Well yeah, you got to fill five.

526
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,319
Speaker 3: Where you gonna pull the trigger or lose control? What's

527
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,240
going on here?

528
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 2: Well well, yes, yeah, soap operas are paced a little

529
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,799
differently than a weekly show because it's on five days

530
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:29,279
a week. And I understand that because you know, I

531
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,079
like I I grew up watching General Hospital.

532
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:32,759
Speaker 3: Uh.

533
00:26:32,839 --> 00:26:34,599
Speaker 2: I blame that on my mother. She got me hooked

534
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,920
on it one summer. And but but the thing is, yeah,

535
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,599
well the thing is though General Hospital had and still

536
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,039
does from what I understand to this day. You know,

537
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,680
it had it had all the tropes of a soap opera,

538
00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:49,440
but it also had like this really strong action adventure

539
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,759
element to it, you know, with with Russian spies and

540
00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:58,599
mob stories and you know, so uh so that's why,

541
00:26:58,799 --> 00:27:01,200
even as a little boy, I was able to get

542
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,920
hooked into into that. But it also it's worth noting

543
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:10,960
that some of those same elements about General Hospital are

544
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,400
probably some of the same elements that got me hooked

545
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,359
on wrestling. Because wrestling, so much of that is, you know,

546
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:20,920
inspired by In terms of the storytelling soap operas.

547
00:27:20,839 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 3: It is a soap opera is a male action soap

548
00:27:24,039 --> 00:27:27,880
opera that involves guys dressed in tights fighting each other

549
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,839
in a ten by ten ring. Yes, and women too,

550
00:27:31,599 --> 00:27:35,079
speaking of those, Speaking of those athletes and tights, let's

551
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,599
go over the matches tonight, Yes, yes, please, obviously I

552
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,079
want to go ahead and get your picks as well

553
00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:44,119
as mine. Okay, it's gonna be a little odd to

554
00:27:44,279 --> 00:27:47,839
pick these because we're not picking one on ones. It

555
00:27:48,079 --> 00:27:50,240
will least for two of them. It's going to be

556
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:52,839
which one of the five or six do you think

557
00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,599
is going to walk out of here? Okay, we already

558
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,680
kind of you know, mentioned a little bit about the

559
00:27:57,799 --> 00:28:03,599
men's Cody, Javon Night, Logan, Randy, and Trick.

560
00:28:03,799 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's gonna be Cody.

561
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,039
Speaker 3: I I do too, But you know, if I had

562
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,680
to go ahead and man, yeah, I after you told

563
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,039
me what happened on Unreal, I don't think they have

564
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,200
Ellie Knight doing it, and I think Trick and Javan

565
00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:22,519
they're too young right now. Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna come

566
00:28:22,559 --> 00:28:26,200
down to the two older people. When I really hope

567
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,720
they fool us. I really hope they fool us and

568
00:28:28,799 --> 00:28:31,720
they go ahead and do Night or they do Javan.

569
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: I really hope so yeah.

570
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,839
Speaker 3: But yeah, if I'm gonna put if I'm gonna have

571
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,240
to put money on, it's Cody. Yeah, it's sad to say, and.

572
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,759
Speaker 2: It's definitely not gonna be Javan. They're not gonna be

573
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,400
He's not gonna be in the main event of WrestleMania already.

574
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,559
But he's got a long career ahead of him. He's

575
00:28:46,559 --> 00:28:48,039
got plenty of time, and so does Trick.

576
00:28:49,799 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised if Logan. I'm seriously if the

577
00:28:53,079 --> 00:28:56,480
Vision gets involved, even though it's a cage match, you

578
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:02,440
never know that that still hasn't stopped people from getting involved. Yeah,

579
00:29:02,519 --> 00:29:04,240
Logan would be my outside choice.

580
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, it would be interesting for.

581
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,039
Speaker 3: The women's here's what we got the lineup his Oscar,

582
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:18,519
Alexa Bliss, Keana James, where Calvidriguez, Rhea and Tiffany Stratton.

583
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be Ria Ripley. You think so, Yeah,

584
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200
they want to get her into a women's main event, Yeah,

585
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,079
I think so. Yeah.

586
00:29:28,599 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: And another spoil she dropped the tag team titles to

587
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:39,440
uh Nia Jackson Lash legend really stupid? Oh wow he

588
00:29:39,599 --> 00:29:40,240
lost last night?

589
00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: Okay, what happened after the uh and again spoiler alert,

590
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,720
But so what happened after the match, because what I

591
00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:51,079
assume where they're going long term is, you know, Ria

592
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,759
Ripley and E O. Sky obviously are very very buddy buddy,

593
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,920
but eventually there is going to be a split. I'm

594
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,720
curious what happens after the match. Did anything happen after

595
00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:00,720
the MA between them?

596
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: I was reading it. I didn't watch it, but I

597
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:07,200
was reading it at the time, the timetable of the blog. Uh,

598
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,200
nothing exciting happened afterwards. They just celebrated.

599
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,119
Speaker 2: Okay, nothing happened between Io and Rhea, right, gotcha?

600
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, I kind of see Ria, But you

601
00:30:19,079 --> 00:30:21,920
know what, Tiffany came back from injury. I think she

602
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:24,839
wants to take back her her rightful spot.

603
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,759
Speaker 2: There could be I could see that too. I could

604
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:28,160
see them going with Tiffany Stratton.

605
00:30:28,839 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 3: I'll go ahead and put my put my dollars on Tiffany.

606
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,359
Speaker 2: It's not going to be Alexa Bliss. It's obviously it's

607
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,559
certainly not going to be a Keana James, uh who else?

608
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:42,359
It's not gonna be It's not gonna be Oscar.

609
00:30:43,359 --> 00:30:47,599
Speaker 3: Saying it should be nice though Alexa Bliss has been

610
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,640
waiting a long time too since she came back.

611
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,839
Speaker 2: True, it's not gonna be her, though, I'd be very surprised.

612
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,440
I think it's going to be either uh Tiffany Stratton

613
00:30:55,599 --> 00:30:59,200
or uh Riha Ripley one one one of one of

614
00:30:59,279 --> 00:30:59,640
those two.

615
00:31:00,599 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 3: I'll take Tiffany's my horse.

616
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,079
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right.

617
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 3: One of the two singles matches that is booked, This

618
00:31:09,319 --> 00:31:12,359
one here is for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Is Becky

619
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:18,279
and AJ first singles match for AJ in over ten years. Yeah,

620
00:31:19,119 --> 00:31:23,039
against the greatest of all time. It's not just me

621
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,839
saying it, it's What's Illustrated saying it's.

622
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,359
Speaker 2: Meg TV saying the Bleacher Report says it.

623
00:31:29,079 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: I'm so done with everybody else to say it. Oh

624
00:31:32,799 --> 00:31:36,000
my god, you're annoying as hell.

625
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,599
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Okay, Charles, hold on, we got to

626
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:44,079
talk about this. I love Becky Lynch's promos. Yeah, oh

627
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,640
my god. I have never been such a fan of

628
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,359
Becky Lynch as I am right now. I love her

629
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,440
promos I love when she does. That whole thing is

630
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,599
not just me saying it's Sports Illustrated says it. I

631
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,200
I Becky Lynch as a heel, and by the way,

632
00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:00,200
I only as a heel. As a baby face. I

633
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:03,039
think she's dull as dirt, but as a heel I

634
00:32:03,359 --> 00:32:05,680
love I could. I wouldn't care if they just let

635
00:32:05,759 --> 00:32:09,000
her go out and talk for twenty minutes. I love

636
00:32:09,079 --> 00:32:11,240
everything she's doing as a heel right now. But it

637
00:32:11,319 --> 00:32:14,079
sounds like you're you're over it. Did you want to

638
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,759
know the reason why I hate her promos? Why?

639
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: It's just I cannot stand the stuttering. I cannot say

640
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,640
it is a minor thing.

641
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:27,119
Speaker 2: Well, it's not. She doesn't stutter. She stammers.

642
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: Well you know what I'm talking about.

643
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just people sometimes people say stutter when

644
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,079
they mean stammer. Yeah.

645
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a stammer. We'll do that.

646
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:34,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

647
00:32:34,359 --> 00:32:37,119
Speaker 3: But I can't stand it. I really, It's just it

648
00:32:37,279 --> 00:32:41,640
makes your sound really dumb, really like she doesn't know

649
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,839
what she's talking about. But it's just like, you know,

650
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,759
I kind of listen. AJ since she's came back has

651
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,759
blown her away in every shape and form. She's kept

652
00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:58,720
it funny, comical, and she puts it. Oh man, she

653
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,440
lays down facts.

654
00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:04,759
Speaker 4: Oh it's that's just a fantastic, amazing on the mic. Oh,

655
00:33:04,799 --> 00:33:10,640
I agree, I agree. So, but coming back one on

656
00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:15,519
one match after ten years, no, I don't.

657
00:33:15,279 --> 00:33:17,559
Speaker 3: See it, No, no much. I'd love AJ to go

658
00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:19,839
ahead and just take that title and make a run.

659
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:27,960
I gotta put Becky on that, especially especially if Seth

660
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:29,039
Rollins in that crate.

661
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: You think it's Seth Rollins in the crate.

662
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,039
Speaker 3: I don't think it's uh Jericho because Jericho is still

663
00:33:35,039 --> 00:33:35,720
in the contract.

664
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 2: Well, there's a rumor that it's Dan Housen, which would

665
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:39,480
make sense, and I hope it is.

666
00:33:40,079 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 3: That's another room. I actually, I actually, while I was

667
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,400
waiting to get on the air, I went ahead in

668
00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:49,640
and a hide the question who is in the air.

669
00:33:50,079 --> 00:33:54,000
It came down it's either Chris Jericho, Dan Housen, Seth

670
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:55,880
Rollins or Bianca Belle Air.

671
00:33:57,359 --> 00:33:58,119
Speaker 2: It's not gonna beyond.

672
00:33:59,359 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 3: There is the rumors of a person named Evil from

673
00:34:04,799 --> 00:34:05,400
New Japan.

674
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: Well that would be a letdown. Nobody. Nobody's gonna know

675
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:09,440
who that is.

676
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: Nobody. Yeah, I think that's way out there. Yeah, so

677
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,440
I think it's gonna be wouldn't be these four? I

678
00:34:14,599 --> 00:34:17,559
weiy these three now, Dan Housen, seth Rollins, Bianca Beler.

679
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,719
I think they originally wanted Jericho in there, Yeah, but

680
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,679
then they found out it's contracts frozen. Which how do

681
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,760
you not know that when you make these plans and

682
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:27,920
sign them under contract?

683
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well unless somebody put that out there deliberately to

684
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,840
throw us, because Jericho is a master of that. But

685
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:35,679
but we don't even know. It might not be a

686
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,360
person in the crate. It might be something an object

687
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,639
in the crate that refers to the person who will

688
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,679
then come out on stage. But if, but if, if

689
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,519
someone literally emerges from the crate, it's probably Dan Housen. Yeah,

690
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,079
and I hope so because that would be awesome because

691
00:34:51,079 --> 00:34:52,800
I've only seen a little bit of Dan Housen's work

692
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,320
in aw but the little bit that I've seen I loved.

693
00:34:55,599 --> 00:34:59,280
He's fantastic. I hope it's Dan Housen, all right.

694
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of looking forward to that. I haven't

695
00:35:01,039 --> 00:35:04,559
seen much of him, so yeah, but yeah, if he's

696
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,519
half as incredible as I heard, yeah, then yeah, it

697
00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:08,280
would be nice to see.

698
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: He's a lot of fun. That would be fun anyway.

699
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 3: I got Becky on this match.

700
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 2: Yeah me too, Me too say.

701
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 3: And finally this match, which I kind of think is

702
00:35:19,519 --> 00:35:23,159
just a fluffer match really for seeing Punk Punk and Balor.

703
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:29,000
I don't see Balo winning and him being the headline

704
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:33,000
for WrestleMania, although I've gone back and forth and thinking

705
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,880
see him. Punk has always wanted to headline WrestleMania. He

706
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,159
did it last year. He's not as selfish as he

707
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,000
once was before. Right, He's actually come back and helped

708
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,840
out a lot of people. He's willing to go ahead

709
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,519
and take bumps for people. He might do this because

710
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:55,039
Finn Bauer earned it. He may drop the title for him.

711
00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:57,800
So Finn and Roman Reigns going at it.

712
00:35:58,039 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 2: That's a problem, no, okay?

713
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,159
Speaker 3: So well, I mean they could always and this is

714
00:36:03,199 --> 00:36:05,760
what I said on my on the other show, I'm on,

715
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:12,119
they can always pivot like they pivoted if with WrestleMania

716
00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:14,880
forty when it was supposed to be Rains against the

717
00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:19,079
Rock and everybody chanted Cody, you know, and Cody should

718
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,079
make the decision. Blah blah blah. They can always pivot

719
00:36:22,159 --> 00:36:25,480
like they did. Then they can put the title on

720
00:36:25,679 --> 00:36:29,719
Finn and they got a month and a half before WrestleMania.

721
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,320
They can get him rematch somewhere in there where Finn

722
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:34,079
drops it again.

723
00:36:34,519 --> 00:36:38,079
Speaker 2: That's a rumor that's out there. I hate that idea,

724
00:36:38,159 --> 00:36:40,679
and i'll tell you why I don't. First of all,

725
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:45,320
I don't want anything interrupting the build between Roman Reigns

726
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,239
and Sampot because that first face to face promo that

727
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:55,360
they did was fire. I loved that promo. The other

728
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,800
they can fight, I know. But the other problem but no,

729
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,079
actually yet, well not at WrestleMania, because then it's going

730
00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:06,079
to be Roman Reigns versus Finn Balor if Baler's the champion.

731
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,280
The other problem I have is I really don't like

732
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,199
the idea of Balor wins the belt and then see

733
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,800
him punk wins it back sometime between now and WrestleMania.

734
00:37:15,039 --> 00:37:17,840
Then you're hot shotting the title. I really don't like that.

735
00:37:18,199 --> 00:37:22,119
That's something I hated during the Attitude era, and I

736
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,159
don't want to see it now. So I don't like

737
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,280
that idea. I think what happens is Balor loses again,

738
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,400
but he's clearly on his way I think to a

739
00:37:32,599 --> 00:37:36,039
to a full on baby face turn, and I think

740
00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:38,400
he will lose again. I think he will be humble

741
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,480
about it and that will be his face turn and

742
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:43,199
he'll he'll go back to being a babyface. That's what

743
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,159
I think is gonna happen.

744
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've definitely seen the writing on the wall there

745
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,320
where Finn is. Just listen, I don't need you guys.

746
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:52,920
You know I want to do this alone. Yeah, let

747
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,639
me do it while on what you know that that's

748
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:57,119
the sign of a heel a face turn right there. Yeah,

749
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,519
but yeah, I just let's see. Here's the thing. He's

750
00:38:02,639 --> 00:38:06,360
doing everything that Punk is telling him to do. You

751
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:13,239
would think doing what he says that would make him champion. Dude,

752
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:18,679
I don't know, man, It's it's tough. It's the heart

753
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,039
wants to see Finn with the championship, but the timing

754
00:38:22,159 --> 00:38:27,360
right now is just not there yet. So I'm gonna

755
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,599
go ahead and say Punk is gonna win. Yeah, Punk

756
00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:32,239
will win at Mania, and then Finn will get another

757
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,159
chance at after Mania. Hm.

758
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,599
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I am. I am intrigued to see where

759
00:38:38,639 --> 00:38:42,440
they're going with Finn Balor. But but I don't think

760
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,559
he wins the I don't think he wins the title tonight.

761
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:46,639
Uh what what did you think of the promo? But

762
00:38:47,039 --> 00:38:49,320
between uh punk and Roman reigns.

763
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with you. It was spot on fire.

764
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,199
It was it was a volcano erupting on both ends.

765
00:38:55,599 --> 00:38:58,599
I loved it. I mean just to the point of,

766
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,400
you know, is like I picked you because I hate you, yep,

767
00:39:02,599 --> 00:39:04,000
And this is gonna be the best ne of my

768
00:39:04,119 --> 00:39:06,679
life because I'm just gonna go ahead and beat you,

769
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,239
to give you the beating you deserve. And am I

770
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,880
take back my title? Blah blah blah. You know, I'm

771
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,039
just waiting and waiting for the tribal chief to have

772
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:18,800
a tribe again.

773
00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:19,559
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

774
00:39:20,159 --> 00:39:23,599
Speaker 3: He hasn't had one yet. Yeah, And I think that's

775
00:39:23,679 --> 00:39:26,360
kind of I think somewhere along the line, I think

776
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,519
it does come to where we finally get all the

777
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,079
Samoans in line. I think we get fought too, we

778
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:37,320
get the usos. I don't see Solo coming back on there.

779
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,360
I think he's got his MFTs, which I will. I

780
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,559
will go ahead and tell you I like Solo as

781
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,719
that gangster, a gangster ither two.

782
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,199
Speaker 2: Jenny's commented on that too, that he's really grown in

783
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,559
the role. I have a problem. I have a problem

784
00:39:52,639 --> 00:39:57,519
though with the MFT gimmick. I hate the face paint.

785
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:03,280
It makes them, It makes them look like juggalos. This

786
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,239
isn't this isn't supposed to be ICP. It's supposed to

787
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,119
be MFT. It looks ridiculous on them, especially on Tomatonga.

788
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:13,559
And I'll tell you why, because the great thing about

789
00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:17,400
Tomatonga is he's got a very expressive face and why

790
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,199
would you want to hide it under all that makeup

791
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,119
so much of what like, so much of what his

792
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,960
character is is you know, he's got that weird sound

793
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,719
that he makes, but also just his facial expressions that

794
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,639
that's what makes him compelling as Tomatonga. And then you

795
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,079
slap all that makeup on him and he covers his

796
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,840
face and it looks I know, And I did read

797
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,800
online that I guess that he and Tongala they wore

798
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,360
the war paint when they were the Gorillas of Destiny

799
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:51,199
in Japan. I just I just think it looks awful.

800
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,199
I think they look ridiculous. I think it's they look

801
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,480
like Juggalos. And again, no disrespect to the Juggalos. I

802
00:40:59,039 --> 00:41:00,840
played in a band one where we actually had some

803
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:05,920
jugglers who were into us. So whatever, I'm.

804
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,519
Speaker 3: Laughing not has mean disagree. I actually can agree with

805
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:12,679
you on that, but it's it's it's given them the identity.

806
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,400
It really is that, you know, granted call them, you know,

807
00:41:16,599 --> 00:41:19,079
they look like jugglers, whatever the case may be, Juggles

808
00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:24,159
is still pretty. They're pretty bad Like that isn't good. Okay,

809
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:26,239
I was gonna use you know, I was gonna use

810
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,039
bad a, but you know we're in FM. You can

811
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:32,519
say badass. That's not a problem. Bad ass. They're badasses.

812
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,440
So that the paint, I don't think, like, you know,

813
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,480
lowers their standard. I think it's just it is a

814
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,039
look that they're going for.

815
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,039
Speaker 2: It's so bad. I think it looks so silly, like

816
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,559
cringe when I say, it's like, what are you guys doing?

817
00:41:51,199 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 3: They need they need I like this whole thing that

818
00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:58,320
they're doing against with the Wyat sixes. There needs to

819
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,639
be more. There needs to be more cond texting that

820
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:06,400
and to some point where hopefully there's still time that

821
00:42:06,599 --> 00:42:12,159
there is like a five on five family versus family match.

822
00:42:14,079 --> 00:42:15,079
I'm kind of hoping for that.

823
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 2: They haven't done that already.

824
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,519
Speaker 3: No, they they've done Tag Team Champ because the not

825
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:25,239
the uh the sixers are still tag Team Champions. I

826
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:29,440
guess so many times they've defended that, how many like one?

827
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:34,199
It's like, come on man, it's like nobody's really doing

828
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,880
anything about these tag team titles. That's the that's the

829
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,679
one downfall I have with with WW. Right now, Jake

830
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:45,400
Carghill has defended the title twice once twice something like that.

831
00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, where is she?

832
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 3: Then she's over here talking about how she is the

833
00:42:50,119 --> 00:42:51,880
b now WW.

834
00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:54,599
Speaker 2: I love her promos though, I love her. I love

835
00:42:54,639 --> 00:42:56,559
her as a heel. She's fantastic as a heel.

836
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 3: I love her, But the point is fight.

837
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, you need to fight. That's okay. Though she's a heel.

838
00:43:03,119 --> 00:43:05,119
Heels are supposed to be a little bit cowardly, you know,

839
00:43:05,519 --> 00:43:06,519
to all time little bit.

840
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,800
Speaker 3: She is complete. Yeah, she's complete.

841
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 2: Talk Yeah, loving her character though she she's believable too,

842
00:43:14,199 --> 00:43:16,280
Like when she delivers that line that we can't say

843
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,400
on the air, she like you believe it, right, Like

844
00:43:21,039 --> 00:43:22,800
she's so good. She is so good.

845
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, promo wise, she's great. I keep hearing that she's

846
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,000
really green. I mean I see her work. She's not

847
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:30,840
that green.

848
00:43:31,199 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 2: No, I think she gets a lot of unfair criticism.

849
00:43:35,679 --> 00:43:38,119
I've said I've said this from the beginning. I think

850
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:40,119
she's better in the ring than she gets credit for.

851
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,760
And I will also say she's improved a lot I had. Yeah,

852
00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:47,239
and she doesn't get the credit for it, though people

853
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,480
online just crap all over. I think she's I think

854
00:43:49,519 --> 00:43:51,320
she's much better than she gets credit for.

855
00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I agree, she she's she's cleaned up love. Listen.

856
00:43:56,440 --> 00:44:00,880
I've seen her in some of these matches before. Oh yeah,

857
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,559
I've seen botches all over the place. Sure, I see

858
00:44:03,679 --> 00:44:05,719
just like things like, oh man, is she gonna get

859
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:06,320
up after that?

860
00:44:07,079 --> 00:44:07,199
Speaker 2: Uh?

861
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's and again, like we had mentioned before,

862
00:44:11,199 --> 00:44:15,760
fakeer real, this is real, It is calculated, real. You

863
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:19,159
are trained to take these bumps in a certain way.

864
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,440
And with Jade doing the stuff she was doing when

865
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,800
she first got called up, which is why you saw

866
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,440
her sporadically, you know why, because her behind was down

867
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,079
there in the performance center trying to work on her craft. Right,

868
00:44:33,159 --> 00:44:35,760
you know I could see why AW got rid of her.

869
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,840
I mean, with the little the little integrity they have

870
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,119
over there, a w Yeah, they needed they need to

871
00:44:43,199 --> 00:44:45,360
go ahead and just say all right, we can't have

872
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,159
you injuring anybody else. Go get out of here, be gone.

873
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:52,119
So but no, they they w W sees that the

874
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:55,119
the talent there, and you know, they've worked with her,

875
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:58,559
giving her chance after chance, and they saw something. That's

876
00:44:58,559 --> 00:45:00,639
why she was made Queen of the Ring, right, that's

877
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,119
why she's currently a champion. Right.

878
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 2: Oh, one other thing we had to wrap up soon.

879
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:11,119
But just as we're talking about Jade Cargill and her

880
00:45:11,159 --> 00:45:13,480
being better than what she gets credit for, what do

881
00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:15,440
you think about Chelsea Green Because there's also been some

882
00:45:15,559 --> 00:45:18,000
controversy And again, I know you haven't watched the new

883
00:45:18,079 --> 00:45:20,480
season of Unreal, but one of the things that's come up,

884
00:45:20,559 --> 00:45:22,719
I'm sure you've seen the chatter about this online. You know,

885
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,960
Michael Hayes kind of makes some comments in there indicating

886
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,480
that Chelsea Green is you know, upper mid card, but

887
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:30,519
that's kind of her ceiling. But she's you know, she's

888
00:45:30,559 --> 00:45:32,400
great at what she does. But but there's a lot

889
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:33,880
of people who are saying, no, she should be in

890
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,719
main events, like she's that good, she's that entertaining, and

891
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:39,599
I tend to agree with that. I'm curious what you

892
00:45:39,679 --> 00:45:42,039
think because it seems to me everything she's ever been

893
00:45:42,079 --> 00:45:44,840
given to do, Chelsea Green, she knocks it out of

894
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,039
the park. I mean, she's so good. And she's another

895
00:45:47,119 --> 00:45:49,599
example too of a heel. She's supposed to be a heel,

896
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,440
but obviously the fans love her because she's so talented,

897
00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:54,519
and she's so good at everything she does, and she's

898
00:45:54,599 --> 00:45:59,719
so likable and funny. So I think she's I think

899
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,960
she should be. I think she deserves a bigger push

900
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,519
than she gets.

901
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 3: What do you think There's a lot of people we

902
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,360
could give pushes too that we want, right, we all

903
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,119
thinking I should get a bigger push. You know, Chelsea Green,

904
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:15,840
she You're right. She goes ahead and with what she

905
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:19,639
has been given as the quote unquote you know president

906
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:25,800
in her in her, the secret hervist, the hervest. Yes, yeah,

907
00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:30,440
I'm like, I'm thinking, that's such a stupid name. But

908
00:46:30,519 --> 00:46:33,000
that it's like, you know what she's running with it.

909
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,880
Let's go ahead. I get it, I get it.

910
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's fun and she's a heel, so it can

911
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:38,960
be stupid.

912
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. I think she's been put into

913
00:46:42,599 --> 00:46:49,360
a position of she's on an island where she's goofy,

914
00:46:50,159 --> 00:46:52,360
and it's like, you know, you can't take a main

915
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:57,960
event or that's goofy. That's the problem with that is

916
00:46:58,599 --> 00:47:01,400
you know you and to to kind of retrospect on

917
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:05,199
everything you take. You take like the Olsen Twins, there

918
00:47:05,199 --> 00:47:08,800
were child actresses. Yeah, you can't seriously as an adult

919
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,119
actresses anymore, even though they're not coming back, but still

920
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,320
you can't take them seriously. Yeah, they're always gonna be

921
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:19,360
labeled child actresses. So are you gonna cast them in

922
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:23,000
a leading role? No? Chelsea Green is put into this

923
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:29,440
category unfortunately that she is a goofy, goofy character.

924
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think with a little bit of creativity, though,

925
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:32,639
I think they could.

926
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: She needs yes, and she needs to basically have her

927
00:47:36,599 --> 00:47:40,719
character redone. She can't go ahead with the harvest. She

928
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:44,320
would have to be another another version of Chelsea Green

929
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,559
to go ahead and make any type of serious move.

930
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,199
Speaker 2: I don't think it's so much another version as just

931
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,280
take her, just evolve her in a way, maybe make

932
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,119
her a little bit more serious, maybe maybe do a

933
00:47:56,159 --> 00:47:56,960
babyface turn.

934
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 3: But but if you if you were to go ahead

935
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,920
and be creative to Chelsea Green, how would you go

936
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,480
ahead and pivot that baby face? I don't think would

937
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:05,800
be enough.

938
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I think they can get there.

939
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,719
With her because I mean, it'd be worth taking the

940
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,679
risk because, like I said, everything they've ever given her

941
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,280
to do, she succeeds. Yeah, you know, I kind of

942
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:18,480
I kind of think of her the way I used

943
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,880
to think of Live Morgan, because for a long time,

944
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,400
I would think, why isn't Live Morgan in main events?

945
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,239
She's got everything, she is so good. I was saying

946
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,159
this a couple of years ago and then but fortunately

947
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,280
in the case of Live Morgan, they did finally figure

948
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,079
it out, and now she's a main eventor and she's incredible.

949
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,480
But she's she's kind of in that same category in

950
00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:40,280
my mind where I used to think Live Morgan. She's

951
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,760
perpetually stuck in the mid card. But everything they've ever

952
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,800
given her to do, she succeeds. She's so good, she's

953
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,920
good at everything, promos or in ringwork, everything she does

954
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,400
is so good. Why isn't she in main events? But

955
00:48:53,519 --> 00:48:54,239
she did get there.

956
00:48:54,599 --> 00:48:57,599
Speaker 3: They got there with her, and she probably went ahead

957
00:48:57,679 --> 00:48:59,760
and voiced her opinion, and Chelsea Green may not be

958
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,960
her opinion as much as she should.

959
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, who knows.

960
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 3: So probably it's a lot of back at politics type stuff.

961
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,159
That's probably where you're hearing all this.

962
00:49:09,559 --> 00:49:13,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, Charles, we are rapidly approaching the top of

963
00:49:13,159 --> 00:49:15,000
the hour. We got to go. But I appreciate you

970
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:34,280

974
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 3: So my current show, the Charles Richardson Show, because of

975
00:49:43,639 --> 00:49:47,000
personal things I've had going on, has been on hiatus.
