Yeah, I couldn't remember what it was called. That's next weekend.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

Yeah. Listen, I can't wait for it.

SPEAKER_01 5:28

Tag team wrestling. Yeah, man acting versus white actors. What'd you say, Wino? Tag Team Wrestling is just the greatest thing ever. There's nothing better. Is it underrated? It's just the greatest thing ever.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Yeah. It's like a lost art, though. Yes. Oh, yeah. Uh and especially because Triple H hates it, so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:51

Is that a Triple H thing or a WWE thing?

SPEAKER_05 5:53

Um T K O thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:56

Vince used it back in the day. Like, I I remember some video where it's like Vince doesn't want the tag team partner to feed. That's 90% of the gimmick of a tag team wrestling is having the partner feed and somebody gets heat. I mean, that's just the way it is.

unknown 6:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

There's just so many ins and outs that are so cool about the tag team wrestling. I mean, you got the the rope gimmick, you know, holding on to the tag rope. Like, I mean, there's just so many things you can do with that. The babyface holds on to it being respectable. The heel chokes the dude with it.

SPEAKER_02 6:31

Well, and there's nothing there's nothing.

SPEAKER_01 6:35

I mean, tons of hot tag is huge.

SPEAKER_03 6:41

Yep, the hot tag's one of my favorite things in wrestling.

unknown 6:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:45

Oh god, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 6:47

Uh like I mean, just so you can get so much heat just with a blind tag. You know, the the ref doesn't see it, but are we tagged and he pushes the baby face out even though they got the tag? You're right. He barely sees the heel tag.

SPEAKER_03 7:02

It's beautiful. Who's your favorite tag team? Ever.

SPEAKER_04 7:09

Wes. Oh, I'm gonna let Lucas. Who's my favorite tag team? The Hardee's. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 7:18

All the way. A favorite tag team? Um, I mean, not really. Okay. Simply.

SPEAKER_04 7:30

I mean, there's for in his defense though, like, because of WWE, it's like there's so many tag teams and they don't know what to do with them, right, Claire? No, you're right. There's so many on the roster right now. So, like, you really don't get a good taste of any of them.

SPEAKER_03 7:50

So if we're talking about anything like impressive, if we're gonna do my time, it had to be a new day. That's a good one.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

That's as far as real tags in my watch. You know, they got the whole Freebird rule thing. That's cool. That's definitely a new type that the that was cool.

SPEAKER_03 8:08

And I guess what was the last peop group to be able to do that?

Favorite Tag Teams Old And New

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Like it's funny that they don't do that with like uh I think the New Day was the last to do the Freebird rule.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

They don't do it with like Tonga. No, like they don't do it with they don't do it with that group, they don't even mention it with that group.

SPEAKER_01 8:27

They should do that. Like there should never be like doesn't DNA have like the three-man tag titles now or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 8:34

Uh I know AEW does. AEW does. Hangman's one of them, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:39

Yeah, hangman's one of them. The the how do you feel about three-way tags though? See, I'm not a huge fan. I don't like I don't like like tornado uh six-man tags. I don't like six-man tags.

SPEAKER_04 8:50

No.

SPEAKER_02 8:50

I don't like more than people in the same manager.

SPEAKER_04 8:53

It gets a little too convoluted.

SPEAKER_01 8:56

But as far as my favorite tag team goes, probably Rock and Old Express. Shout out Ricky Morton. Um but tag team wrestling is just great. There's so many huge ones. I mean, Rose Warriors, Steiner, you can go on for days. Steiner Brothers, Midnight Express, news. No, who's yours? Okay, maybe not the miss.

SPEAKER_00 9:21

If I would if I was to say with my time of being a fan, if we're saying tag team, I'd probably say Young Bucks. Not nowadays, but from like but like from 2015 to right, you know, the first few years of AEW, Young Bucks was the shit.

SPEAKER_04 9:44

Hey, speaking of Young Bucks, did they win the 2025 or 26 Tag Team of the Year?

SPEAKER_00 9:53

I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_04 9:55

I seen that somewhere that they won that this this year.

SPEAKER_03 9:58

Yeah, they did win the 20, the 2025 Tag Team of the Year.

SPEAKER_04 10:01

Tag Team of the Year.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

Yeah. But coordinating me as saying it's a bucks.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Yeah. AEW wins they're cool. AEW wins so many of those prizes. Like, I don't know. It's like and we we watch enough wrestling to know AEW's like, it's good. We enjoy it, right?

SPEAKER_04 10:22

But like we we watched um we watched Grand Slam.

AEW Grand Slam Results & Reactions

SPEAKER_01 10:28

Here's the thing. I notoriously do not. However, at some point, maybe within the next two years, I'm gonna have to become a uh AEW fan because I'm pretty sure Saudi's going on WWE. That's that's true. I don't know what's gonna happen. That's real. Mostly on the bandwagon. Let's go.

SPEAKER_04 10:54

So um we watched Summer Grand Slam Saturday night tonight. I know listeners are gonna know this it was too nice to go. So um, boys, you want me to tell you what happened? Because there was a hair for hair match. Yeah, what happened?

SPEAKER_02 11:13

I wonder. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:15

So me and you discussed this yesterday at work. We couldn't figure out the whole stipulation. Who was like actually getting their hair cut? So the only people's hair that was on the line was Tony Storms and uh Yudas, Wheeler Udas, Yuda Wheelers, whatever his name is.

SPEAKER_02 11:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:33

Um Wheeler Utah. Yeah. So uh he lost. He lost and he tried to run away. When he tried to run away through the crowd, guess who caught him? Mox. Oh. Mox grabbed him and drug him back in the ring and made him own up to it.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

Because Wheeler's in Mox's group, and they're all about like they're they're supposed to be about like respect and like loyalty, like John said.

SPEAKER_04 12:07

Yeah. So what's funny though is the night before, um what's the other girl? Mina? That with Tony Storm? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:18

They held her down and cut some of her hair off, and Yuda had her hair, her purple hair, weaved into his hair for the match. Which was funny. Yeah, I like that. But yeah, so he he at the at the end of the match, he tried to run away through the crowd. Mox caught him, drug him back in, and made that made sure he he owned up to it. Um, other big match was uh there's two other big matches that we caught. One was Protostar, Kyle Fletcher. Kyle Fletcher. Um for the TNT title, because he had it uh versus them boys. Um it was the latter match. Kyle Fletcher won.

SPEAKER_00 13:06

Oh wow.

SPEAKER_04 13:07

Got the title back. He already had it, but he you know retained it, but they switched it, now it's pink.

SPEAKER_03 13:14

I like that. I like that because the TNT, like, people are getting to do what they want with the TNT title because like uh Jack Perry did it and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 13:21

So yeah. Uh um and final match that we caught was uh and these are all out order, guys. I'm just thinking about them. Um the other match we caught was uh Hangman versus Andrade for uh number one contender versus MJF. We caught the MJF match too, forgot about that. Um uh so um Andrade lost. Hanger is gonna be the number one contender. MJF beat Brody King, and then MJ had to, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:59

Just I just want just I just want to pause one thing. Yep. Do you feel like Ciampa was done wrong?

Booking Styles: AEW vs WWE

SPEAKER_04 14:08

I don't know where they're going with Chompa. We talked about this. I don't think he was done wrong. I think that was him showing like I think it was their way of showing his dominance um for him to come out like that. But uh that's the thing about AEW that uh honestly I think that's why they're staying relevant. That's why they're they're they're they're not ahead of the game with WWE, but they're they're continuing against WWE is because man, let's be let's face it. When we watch WWE, we literally can predict everything. Yeah, sadly. Like sitting on the couch with with Sam, like I'll I'll predict half the stuff, and then she looks at me and goes, Why are you even watching this if you already know what's gonna happen? I said, technically I don't, I'm just predicting. Yeah. Yeah. But we know like we we call it before it happens. With AEW, I don't know what's gonna happen. We didn't like with that hair match, we couldn't figure out who was gonna lose.

SPEAKER_03 15:10

Well, and like we said, that's a great thing and a bad thing, right? Like it it seems like because it either means one of two things. Your booking is so fantastic that I can't predict what is going on, which is probably not the case, right? Or I mean, there's a middle ground too, like where it's just their storylines are not as driven home as WWE's are. Like they run a storyline for a year and a half, you know. AEW runs a storyline like they're an indie promotion. They run a storyline and two shows and the storyline's over. But they have stories.

SPEAKER_04 15:48

I like it though because it's close to indie. Um WWE's kind of getting a little stale with the storylines because hell look look at Judgment Day. Exactly. That's like a four-year storyline that it's still like nothing's happened.

SPEAKER_01 16:02

Yeah. We've been talking about it.

SPEAKER_03 16:05

I don't actually understand Judgment Day anymore.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

We've been playing fantasy booking judgment day stuff forever, and nothing has ever happened. Can't hear you, bro. Can't hear you. We've been fantasy booking judgment day stuff forever, and nothing has happened. Yeah. Crazy. So a couple questions real quick. Go ahead. Real quick, a couple questions. Champa, how long has he been gone from WWE?

SPEAKER_04 16:29

A few weeks.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

He didn't have a clause. He didn't have a clause. On a video. He had some sort of medical incident. This is what he said. He had some co sort of medical incident in his hotel room after a show. Have you guys seen this about what happened with him? Does he currently have a beard?

SPEAKER_05 16:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:52

Is it the the big beard he had in WWE?

SPEAKER_03 16:55

Oh, he shaved his beard in WWE. Yeah, he did that months ago.

SPEAKER_01 17:01

According to him, he had some sort of medical incident in this hotel room and failed. Yeah. Last raised his chin. Yeah. Had to have stitches. Had to have stitches. And the EMTs came though, like the WWE medical professionals were in the the hotel, same hotel, and they came and they were trying to stitch it up. They couldn't. And they were like, we can't do it without shaving the beard. And he's like, they shaved the beard like I'm bleeding profusely. They shaved the beard. Less than a month later, he was gone. He relates that to being the issue. That's what he said. I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_04 17:40

You shaved the beard months ago, bro.

SPEAKER_01 17:43

Yeah. I I know I know, but like he he he he thinks that he was just a beard, basically, is what I'm saying. To WWE. Once that happened, he kind of feels like he didn't get any pushes, and it was just kind of over. That's what I seem. Like he it the shaving the beard was not his choice. It was like he had to do it in order to get stitches because he could they couldn't stitch it with the beard. Right. Oh no.

Ciampa, Injuries, And Character Turns

SPEAKER_03 18:09

I don't know. I mean, I I think he aw makes sense for him and AW. But uh where were you going with it, Wes?

SPEAKER_04 18:22

Um, I lost track of it with that. Um sorry. Um where were we? We were talking about AW, um the predictability. Now, with WWE being, you know, they're they're kind of getting stagnant. Um, another thing I know we since we were talking about Judgment Day, I'm back on it now. Um we were talking about earlier Finn possibly going baby. So, and this is kind of like follow the figs a little bit. How do you make someone that's already popular or used to be popular with kids be popular again? You give them a skin in Fortnite.

SPEAKER_03 19:06

Oh, has he got a Fortnite skin?

SPEAKER_04 19:09

Fortnite has hinted the demon is coming to Fortnite. Baby Face.

SPEAKER_01 19:16

Yeah, baby face. 100%.

SPEAKER_04 19:19

Yeah. You know, going up against Punk, calling out Punk again, and he and Punk giving him respect. Yeah. It it felt the dance.

SPEAKER_01 19:39

Well, how long has it been since they had a segment? He's had a segment with a judgment day.

SPEAKER_03 19:46

Um he did one just the other day before he went out.

SPEAKER_02 19:49

Yeah. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 19:53

Uh yeah, he I mean, it's the problem is, and I'll and I'll just I'll be the mark. The problem is he's too good. Uh like it's it's too obvious is the problem. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like we're marking out on it because we're so obviously thinking Finn is gonna turn baby.

SPEAKER_04 20:19

I would love for him to come turn baby, but yeah, we're marking out on a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 20:26

They're teasing us this hard, and you know how we feel about it, that if they talk about it, it's not real.

SPEAKER_04 20:31

So true. True, true. But the thing is, WWE's not talking about the Fortnite thing.

SPEAKER_03 20:37

No, no, you're no no no. I agree with you. I'm not I'm just trying to be devil's advocate here. Like, because I I don't uh you know, we've had so many turns lately that it's just weird. It's just weird that I don't know, maybe we have too many turns. Uh speaking of follow the figs and speaking of turns, the biggest follow the figs uh for this is Wayne asleep. No, the biggest the biggest follow the figs uh and possible baby face turns. Um they've seen the they spooled for uh the new Street Fighter crossover series, and Dominic Mysterio is Ken, who is Ryu's best friend. And the Ryu figure is Ray Mysterio.

SPEAKER_04 21:31

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 21:32

And they're both like if you're talking like gimmicks, Ken and Ryu are babies, both of them. So, and they put everybody else in their natural, like, final boss is M Bison, Ultimate Warrior is Blanca. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Ultimate Warrior is Blanca, you know, like Yokazuna's e Honda. Their gimmicks are kind of everybody's gimmicks align with their characters, except for the dog. I think that's volume. I think that's three. That's gonna be series three.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

Ken is a baby, he's also an asshole. Just saying. Yeah, well, Dom would be a babyface asshole. Right. I'm saying it it maths. I like it.

Fortnite Skins, Street Fighter Figs, And Teases

SPEAKER_04 22:13

Yeah, but also yeah. No, also he comes with two different heads. Um, one has like the classic kin blonde hair, but the other head kind of points to him dyeing his hair because the other head is his his actual hair, but it's it's uh blonde tips. Like which blonde tips, which makes me think that they're gonna do something with his hair.

SPEAKER_03 22:41

Yeah, but that that also could be like you know Could be, yeah. Could could just be the the fig, like just that, what they're going with. But um, yeah. Either way, he's he's a baby when he wants to be.

SPEAKER_04 22:55

I'm here for it. Um another cool thing I saw was uh starting my dog is barking. Um another big thing that I saw was um Mattel is bringing out non-WWE related figures for the Street Fighter movie that's gonna be a Cody Rhodes and a Roman Reigns figure. Not Mattel. Not related to WWE.

SPEAKER_03 23:26

You're not, you're not no, it's not Mattel.

SPEAKER_04 23:28

Oh no, it's not Mattel. Sorry, it's not Mattel.

SPEAKER_03 23:30

But they're it's the first non-Mattel wrestling figures because they're not figures. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 23:36

Thank you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:37

Um Mattel wrestling figures because they're not wrestling figures. What? What? You said the first non-Mattel wrestling figures because they're not wrestling figures. I mean, you're right, and I get it, but that's funny.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

I was thinking about KCW's tag division and where that's gonna go, how awesome that's gonna be in the indie in the indie world. And and we didn't really get to talk about that much about how uh how exciting that is. We really didn't get to talk much about KCW show because of the interviews. Uh I have my arm hurt the whole time I was holding the mic for Sean.

Uh but that that tag division, there's there's gonna be people coming from all over to get those those belts because those belts are so beautiful. There's gonna be people coming from all over to get those.

SPEAKER_01 26:03

They're having to watch that they either watch your socials or something. As soon as you mention something about a wrestling event, like the next day, they schedule something over top of it.

SPEAKER_03 29:41

They do listen to this podcast sometime. See, that's what it's about. He's he's like, knows you're going to do it. Hey, I've been able to go to most of the shows now.

SPEAKER_00 31:35

I'm starting to believe it's just like the group version of Goldberg's winning streak.

SPEAKER_03 31:40

Yeah. Well, I think it's just like NWO. At one point, NWO was all of WCW.

SPEAKER_00 31:46

Yeah, like what are we doing? It seems like there's a new member every time they come out.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

I want a bet one time in '96 with a neighbor, he came up there to watch the show, like the Nitro show, and I was like, it's a great Muda. He's like, hey, Er's the Great Muda. I used to watch him back in the 80s. I said, I bet he's gonna join the NDLB. Whoa Lord, hold on. I bet he's gonna join the NWO. He said, ain't no shot, he's a great mood. Ten minutes later, Great Muda joined the NWO. Ten bucks in my pocket at like seven years old.

SPEAKER_03 32:22

Great mood is full on blackface.

SPEAKER_01 32:24

Definitely not seven. Um let's go with nine or ten. Yeah. You over that we're old. You ordered that.

No, no. Yeah. You're older than that. You're an old man. You're full. Old man. You're older than I am, bro.

SPEAKER_04 32:45

Clay, this is gonna be classic education for you with classic wrestling. NWO, before they were a million members, uh, the gimmick was anybody that came from WWF and jumped straight to WCW were the only ones that were allowed to join the NWO. Because the original members were just Scott Hall, Kevin Ash, and Hogan. For life. For life. So anybody that came from WWF, you that was like the gimmick was oh, they're gonna join NWO. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 33:23

Yeah, and Illuminati's pretty much NWO, except for they they have no they have no favorable traits. Like NWO had some favorable traits. We don't like anything about Illuminati.

SPEAKER_00 33:41

You got the face of Netpro.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

Oh, he's the face of Netpro, yeah. Big black realm.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

You got the face. Um I still I still genuinely wonder. I mean, if he's the self-proclaimed face, I just don't know why he's not got the Net Pro title.

SPEAKER_03 33:55

Crazy. Yeah, you think you think you'd have the Net Pro title.

SPEAKER_00 33:59

Um I'm just I'm you know Don't start no crap with him, all right. He's gonna be on the show so I I'm not even I'm just stating the obvious, man. I'm not even, you know what I mean? Yeah, I mean genuine, genuine question. I'll even ask him.

SPEAKER_04 34:15

Okay, you ask him. Note that. I mean, it's just a genuine question. This is why I feel like if me and no me and no are tag team and we're more like Chompa and Gargano than anything, because he's Chompa trying to start shit with any person that comes on the show, and I'm just like, man, what are we doing? All right, I'll back you up. And I'm like, damn it. I get you know.

SPEAKER_03 34:42

Well, yeah, if we're remote though, Noah's gotta back this big talk. If we're live in studio, you know.

It's we're just we're just doing our best to spend thousands of dollars on on uh admission, general admission tickets and uh$20 t-shirts. We're we're doing our best to do that. Uh also I found the best deal on wrestling figures I've ever found in my life at a wrestling show.

SPEAKER_00 47:23

So uh was it the uh was it the the glass in a I made so much money?

SPEAKER_03 47:31

I made so much money off that stuff. I think that dude panicked when I said how much, and when he told me 25, I was like, dude. I'll never forget that moment because I couldn't believe it. I think he panicked because he told me how much each thing was, and then he told me a total, and I was like, Well, that don't make any sense. I'll take it all.

SPEAKER_05 47:47

Take it off.

SPEAKER_03 47:48

He knocked off like$30 by taking it all. I was like, okay, that'd be great. We'll do that.

SPEAKER_01 47:56

He's like, what you got going on?

SPEAKER_03 47:58

Yeah. Oh no, I think he left right after that. Uh I hope we see some people we know with the Lakeston show, though. I worry that that's gonna be like far enough away that we don't see our normal crew. Also don't know how packed out it's gonna be. I don't know anything about the show.

SPEAKER_00 48:13

I'd say it'd be pretty packed out.

SPEAKER_03 48:15

SPEAKER_04 48:20

We we actually haven't been to that arena or the arena, that that uh that venue, right? We haven't been to that.

It's every time we're at my mom's, we're like, hey, all these pro wrestlers, all of the pro wrestlers and everything wrestling is like literally five minutes away from my mom's, ain't it, Clay?

SPEAKER_04 49:55

I don't drink.

SPEAKER_03 49:57

SPEAKER_00 50:25

Still uh Pierce. I'll I'll stick with Pierce.

SPEAKER_03 50:28

Bueno. All right. Logan Logan Paul. By the way, I can't see your video anymore, Wino. Claybob. Logan Paul.

SPEAKER_04 50:41

Wes. I can't. It's Grayson Wallah. You don't think it's Bad Bunny? I wanted to be Bad Bunny, but um, I got a little Wes here that lives on the internet, and he found a picture today of because Grayson Waller was at the not at the but he was there in the area doing stuff for WWE, and they zoomed in on his shoes. It's the same exact shoes that the masked guy was wearing.

SPEAKER_03 51:12

Uh Waller, Waller makes sense to me.

SPEAKER_01 51:14

Like Waller makes sense to me, and also um why why why Waller though? Is he just a filler or is it for something he's theory, by the way?

SPEAKER_03 51:25

Just because of theory.

SPEAKER_01 51:27

Yeah, but what's the point in breaking them up? Like legitimately on on TikTok and on Twitter they broke up. Like, what's the point in that?

SPEAKER_03 51:35

I don't know. I don't book it.

SPEAKER_01 51:37

I mean, I I get just having a body in case it's Seth. But like, how cool would it be if it was Logan Paul? Just saying.

SPEAKER_03 51:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:46

I mean, uh Logan or Jake. Logan and Jake.

SPEAKER_03 51:50

It's not Jake. That's stupid. It it don't Why not? It's because Jake weighs 300 pounds, and that dude was tiny. That's true.

SPEAKER_04 52:02

Tall and lanky that dude was.

SPEAKER_03 52:03

Yeah, Jake's like Jake's like 6'6. He's huge.

SPEAKER_04 52:08

SPEAKER_03 52:39

Um tell them to turn the iPads off. Uh legit. Like. It also could just be anybody, right? Like they're it can just be whoever, because the person, the masked man doesn't have to be the person who it is.

SPEAKER_04 52:57

WrestleCade Possibilities & Community Plans

SPEAKER_03 52:58

Yeah. Which is could be Becky. Likely. It could just be Becky, bro. Like I it could be Becky. That's who I think it is. That's who my original pig was. That's who I'm sticking with. I think it's Becky. I think Becky makes sense. Like, I I don't, I mean, it it could be anybody. Also, they could just never tell us and it not ever matter because they haven't mentioned it again, have they?

SPEAKER_04 53:20

No.

SPEAKER_03 53:20

They haven't mentioned it at all, right? They just talk about Braun being out. They didn't say anybody, like I I don't know. It like he talked about Braun's hernia and stuff, but he didn't say anything about the masked man.

SPEAKER_04 53:32

You know how he got that hernia? Falling off the top rope? Flipping that table over, the announcing table.

SPEAKER_00 53:41

Yeah. That'll do it.

SPEAKER_04 53:45

That makes sense. That makes sense. Um I mad flipped the table over, ripped to the ball back.

SPEAKER_03 53:53

Also, uh Selena coming out to Alistair's music is kind of weird. Like just Alistair's music is uh that's kind of weird. But uh Chelsea Green injured sucks. Makes me want to cry. Um very sad. That ankle snapped. Very sad. Yeah, dropped uh coast to coast, broke her ankle, it seems like.

SPEAKER_04 54:15

I mean, it seems like they need to quit doing the coast to coast. That's two of your main things.

SPEAKER_03 54:22

Man, I only did it because he's an idiot.

SPEAKER_04 54:26

Seth of all people did it and like messed up the one thing you shouldn't be able to mess up during a coast to coast and ripped his shoulder out of place.

SPEAKER_03 54:34
