Oh, no, I can't say it. You are cursed. That won't work either. More than two words.

SPEAKER_02

More than two words, but I like it. I don't know what you immediately had to curse everybody. Damn, dude. And we know the curses work too.

SPEAKER_02

So I think we can acknowledge that we're wet we're um Danhausen fans and we're not disappointed by the debut. I'm good with it. And it only took like two seconds for him to get over anyway.

SPEAKER_03

Literally. They they they didn't they they did they weren't feeling the the debut, but all it took was one segment, and they was like, we love this guy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think I think no matter who came out of that box, people were gonna be disappointed. Like they said, like I've seen a lot of people were like, it could have been Jericho, and we'd have been disappointed.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Like if it could have been Jericho, people would have people would have disappointed.

SPEAKER_03

They missed the shot for Jericho, you know?

Jericho Contract Rumors And AEW Clauses

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah. The we're over the Jericho thing. That's speaking of Jericho, you you heard something about Jericho, didn't you, Wes?

SPEAKER_00

Um, so yeah. Uh apparently rumor is he is uh well his contract got extended, um, not by choice. It it's the the AEW kind of thing that happens with their contracts where if someone doesn't compete all year, but their contract their contract had them supposed to be competing, they just add more time to your contract.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, well that makes sense.

SPEAKER_00

Um so like where he, of course, he wasn't out on injury, but he was doing different things out of AEW when he was contracted to be in AEW for 25. Uh, so they rumors that they added more time to his contract. So he's it's part of their clauses.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I guess not coming to WE's gonna be under AEW contracts. That's fine. I mean, whatever. I'd rather have Dan House and really, what was Jericho gonna do? Have one last match.

SPEAKER_03

I mean, he's done burnt the gimmicks up in AEW.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, learning tree. I guess he could do learning tree and just have everybody uh everybody here anyway. Clay, we knock that bottle of bleach off the table.

unknown

The Balcony Dive And Viral Clips

SPEAKER_02

I know. I was waiting, I was holding offre to do it. Uh again, venue suck to get in. Uh coolest indie spot in a while that we've seen. Yes. Was Heart Sook off the rapsook off the rafters. Off the balcony, dude. If you message the show, we'll send it to you in a private message. We'll send you the video. If you go to our page, you can see it too. But we have like an extended video of it. But go to our page and look at that. That's awesome. Yeah, go to our page, guys, and and look at that. Look at that video. You can see Heart Sook falling. We got a couple different angles of it. Heart Sook falling from the sky in one of them. And then some fans sent us one. Some fans sent us one that's the other angle.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Did you see that one? I've seen I've seen it. I think I've seen it. I've seen like two other angles other than ours.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. The fan. Let me see, let me see what fan sent that to us. I can see real quick.

SPEAKER_03

Dude, it was so insane. The match itself was was out of the out of the out of the world. And um Brandon just disappeared for a second. And I looked, I'm looking around and I look at Dusty. I said, Where'd Brandon go? Some dude sent behind me, like, leans up towards me and he goes, he went up top. I said, Oh shit. Dusty beside me. I was like, Dusty. Dusty. I was like, he's going up top. He's up top.

SPEAKER_02

We knew we knew something was we knew something was something was gonna happen right then.

SPEAKER_01

Who was it? The faction versus action Ray and Brandon Hartsoot.

SPEAKER_02

Yes, yes, exactly. That's exactly who it was. Yeah, I'm getting to it right now. But that this um this video of Heartsook jumping was just was just insane. Yes. But yeah, anyway, anyway, we need to Wes, you you would love that venue. That venue was was a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_00

And so was there people actually jumping? Or is it just a trampoline park's open?

SPEAKER_02

The trampoline park's open for BS.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's what I was saying was like they had they had the the show, but then there was people there not coming to the show but coming just to jump. Just to jump, yes.

SPEAKER_02

And there was some that were jumping that would just come to the show and then go back and jump and and do, you know, okay, whatever, all that stuff. So I mean it's pretty cool, just the fact that you know you think if you had Colton Lucas there, it would either be really good or really bad for you because you'd either get to watch the show. You know, they could run back and forth. I don't know. It's pretty cool. Yeah, it's a cool thing to do, but it's also there wasn't a big crowd, but it was the crowd was the crowd was into it, wasn't they? Oh yeah, yeah, it was it was fun, and it wasn't a big crowd. I mean, there was probably under a hundred people sitting, but there were more people running in and out that were watching that were watching. So that counts in.

SPEAKER_03

But at the same time, though, too, the like the area it was set up at uh didn't like overcompensate for the people. Oh no, you're right. So it it it was just a perfect spot in the building.

SPEAKER_00

But I don't know if Yeah, I think it'd be bad for me if I took the kids there because it's like I mean, of course the kids are wild, but you know, they kind of get on another level when they're watching wrestling. And then putting them in a trampoline port. Oh, somebody's getting an arm broke. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, they're gonna be climbing the rafters trying to jump off of stuff.

Crowd Size, Concessions, And Atmosphere

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, somebody's gonna get an arm broke. But when we walked up and seen the rafters, because you could pay for the seating in the rack, in the not rafters, you could pay for the seating in the cap in the lookover. But yeah, even the wrestlers were like, it doesn't look good up there because you you're looking down on them and you can't sit back like you've got to be on the rail looking down. But we got some pictures. Okay. We got some pictures from there too, and we'll share those to the page. But that was that was really good. The food, food review, the food review for the the indie show.

SPEAKER_03

The fruity damn fabulous.

SPEAKER_02

Because the food we found. Well, so we found that it was another concession, right? So we found that those venues seem to be good for like the ice, like Lexington Ice, the AMW show, here, KCW. Places are better when they're at a venue that already has a concession that they sell out of anyway. So the the trampoline parks concession, they have chicken nachos, beef nachos, Philly cheesesteaks, Philly cheesesteaks, like chicken fillies, French fries, holy hair dogs.

SPEAKER_03

And prices, prices were crazy. Like I didn't see I didn't see much that was over ten bucks.

SPEAKER_02

Now, given we'll again we'll share some pictures of those too. Given it's like it's not like the highest grade quality chicken, but the food was good. The nachos were delicious. I was very I was very satisfied with my purchase and fountain drinks. They had fountain drinks. So having a fountain, having a fountain pop uh as a non-pop drinker anymore, having a fountain pop was nice.

SPEAKER_00

Um I just took a drink of uh fountain pop because I'm not a pop drinker.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you usually don't either. Must be just this weekend.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Uh it was uh it was a bad weekend. Um so I you know, with with anytime we talk about food, and I always have one question about the venues and the food. How much food did Noah drop on himself?

SPEAKER_03

Actually, almost none, I think. I didn't. Uh a little bit of cheese. You're getting better, buddy. A little bit of cheese dropped on me, but it but nothing, nothing fell on the floor. It's almost exclusively KCW shows. I feel like it is, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

That you put hot dogs on your stuff.

SPEAKER_00

The funny thing is about that is um I wore my KCW hoodie to work the other day, and like I had a weird look on my face, and Dusty was like, What's up? I was like, I just realized that me and Noah got our hoodies mixed up, and he was like, How do you know that? They're the same thing. I said, because this one's got fucking chili all over it.

SPEAKER_02

Oh my god. Yeah, that happens. Yeah, the food was good. Um faction rocks. Faction always rocks. Faction always rocks. Faction always rocks. We we love faction and and shout out shout out Jeff Baker who caught all of Brandon Hartsuok. Conley. Let's let's talk about Jeff. Let's talk about the Jeff.

SPEAKER_00

They were on Illuminati last week. They were I was talking about y'all saying you were part of Illuminati. Oh, yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_02

Shut up, dude. Hey, hey, what were you gonna say?

SPEAKER_03

Um let's talk about old Baker thinking he was a he was a slickin' before the match started.

Axton Ray’s Athleticism Spotlight

SPEAKER_02

Dude, when he came out, he had a fork. Let me let me tell you all the places he had stuff. He had a fork in his bun. Okay. Uh he had a hair pick in his knee pad. He had a comb in his, I think it was a normal comb in his in his elbow pad. Had something else in his pocket. Um not in his pocket, but in his he had a he had a substance. He had a substance we think maybe a good baby powder. It looked like a little white bag of baby powder, but he was looking for it really hard after the match, so maybe that's not what it was. Didn't that happen with New Jack once? Newjack lost something.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, I mean, yeah, that's not even a question. I'm sure it did somewhere.

SPEAKER_00

Hey, but okay, wouldn't it have made sense more to put the fork in in your knee or elbow pad and the hair pick in your hair?

SPEAKER_02

Maybe. I'm not sure, but either way, he can't.

SPEAKER_03

Are you going to question Baker though?

SPEAKER_02

He couldn't find he the the ref found him. No, I'm not. What did he have down his front?

SPEAKER_03

Um, a bottle of cap or a thing of Capri Sun.

SPEAKER_02

A thing of Capri Sun that he threw to me. Why don't we have that on video? You need to see me that video.

SPEAKER_03

It's in the video. They posted it. They posted it?

SPEAKER_02

I didn't even see it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, they it's the whole video. I recorded the whole thing. Bro, I gotta watch that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Wesley, have you seen that? You got thrown. Baker threws me in the middle. You got thrown a crotch caprice. And I drank it all.

SPEAKER_03

Indeed.

SPEAKER_02

A crotch son? Yes. And I caught it too. If I I had a there was a moment, there was a moment where I could have been could have been big L or Big Dub, and I caught it. Because if I'd if I'd have dropped it, that would have sucked, dude. If I wouldn't have caught it, that would have sucked. It would have. But it would look perfect though. Baker looked like Baker meant to throw it to me, and I was like, and chugged it. You got a drink of it though.

SPEAKER_00

We still got those baker hands.

SPEAKER_02

But it was awesome. Also, note from this show. Do you think Axton Ray is a god?

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely. I think he's a god. I think he's really good. Does he know that? And if not, has anyone told him? I'm not sure anybody knows how I don't I'm not sure he knows how good he is.

SPEAKER_02

I mean, my God. He is insane. Dude, watching him move in the ring is crazy. I showed a non-wrestling fan today that moonsault. I was like, what do you think about this moonsault? And he's like, what?

SPEAKER_03

I'm telling you, at his size, the motherfucker moves in ways he shouldn't.

SPEAKER_02

I can't believe he's that big and can do that front hand spring, Wes.

SPEAKER_03

He's a big thing. Dude, no, it was like a It was like a inverted, like he went at it with belly towards the ropes.

SPEAKER_02

Belly towards the ropes is insane.

SPEAKER_03

Like it was a spinning like he twisted it mid mid-handspring to bounce off the ropes.

SPEAKER_02

And then turns again and catches him with a forearm. And he caught Baker straight in the face. I thought Baker was dead.

SPEAKER_00

He could give Jacob Fa tu a run for his money with that.

SPEAKER_03

He moves like Fa2.

SPEAKER_02

It looked it looked better than Fatou.

SPEAKER_03

That man is that that is a white Fatou from Tennessee.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. That exactly what he got FaTou from Tennessee.

SPEAKER_03

He's redneck Fa Tu. He really is.

SPEAKER_02

I don't even think he's not even that rednecked. His daddy is, but he ain't.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah. Shout out Chains.

SPEAKER_02

Shout out Chains. We seen Chains wrestle. The only one we missed wrestle was we missed Bruiser, Bob, and Habibi.

SPEAKER_03

Bobby Mitchell.

SPEAKER_02

Well, was he Bobby or Bruiser?

SPEAKER_03

No, he's Bobby. He's Bobby down there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but the Innovation show, he was bruiser at the Innovate show. He kind of unleashed a bruiser.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02

You never know. I didn't know if he ever went back.

SPEAKER_03

I mean.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, he but he was wearing the jacket, though. He was wearing the jacket. Yeah. Habibi. And Habibi. Yeah. Habibi. Habibi was awesome, man. Uh we're gonna get he sent us, he sent us home. Did you watch that video, Wes? Did he send it to us? Yeah, I'm not watching it yet. Oh my god. Oh, it's in the email.

SPEAKER_03

I uploaded it. Oh, okay. I'll have to get on there and look.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it it's I keep trying to. Axton Ray and Habibi. Dude, they're like two. It's like two I don't know. There's they're so fast. They're so fast and they're both.

SPEAKER_03

If it's the one he was telling us about, it was Andy.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah, you told me that's Andy.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I meant.

SPEAKER_03

It's crazy. My God, dude. I did find I I I gotta send it to the group. Yeah, that's just uh but speaking of Axon, I found a match. I ain't watched it yet, but it was Axton versus in my head.

SPEAKER_02

I was saying Andy Optimal.

SPEAKER_03

We were just talking about Axton. But speaking of him, though, I might as well plug it. I ain't watched it yet, but it was Axton versus T I M. And I can only imagine I can only imagine how that match is. I need to watch that. I don't know. Yeah, send it to watch that group chat.

SPEAKER_02

That's sick. Those guys wrestle. They work, baby. They work. That's that's that's what I have to my takeaways from that show. It was really fun. We missed you guys bad from that show. No joke. Well, I was gonna go. We missed you all's reaction because that spot was so much fun. Uh me and Noah, I think I pulled Noah's hair at one point. Probably yeah, I was jumping out of the seat. We were we were like almost putting each other. We sat next to Ricky Morton again. Yeah, yeah. Shout out Ricky Morton. Oh, nice. Not really Ricky Morton, but the girl with Ricky Morton's hair.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay. It's it's it's it's R-I-C-K-I-E Morton. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I wish I would have gone now. Well you lose. AMW show is coming up, and there's and they're like concluding up. I guess they're gonna have a match Marty and Marty and Wes's Yeah, they're definitely going to. They're having a match at that that event, right? The what's the show? April 10th.

SPEAKER_03

Sure. I don't I don't even know if they've what they've if they've announced. Oh, maybe they've not. Maybe they've not. It's April 11th, uh, weekend of champions, bloody breath it in Breathett County.

SPEAKER_01

I talked to Marty the other day.

SPEAKER_02

Here's why I bring it up. Okay. Bloody Breath It Marty. Hill favored show. You think about if he if he loses, if he loses in his hometown, because let's face it, boys, watching watching Marty on the indie scene isn't gonna be there any very much longer.

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_02

That's why Alan. Because it feels like Marty's smelling a call-up because he had speaking parts on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown.

SPEAKER_03

Are we are you saying like a send-off at Bloody Breath?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because if he loses that's a good take. No, that was on Raw, Dad.

SPEAKER_03

Raw.

SPEAKER_01

That's a good take.

SPEAKER_00

That's that's I don't know. I I don't uh I don't think AMW would go the WWE route as in letting him lose in his hometown. You know, because that's that is a thing WWE likes to do is like, hey, let's promote this pay-per-view and put the hometowner in one of the main events and then we're gonna make him lose. You know, like Finn Balor, uh Drew, you know, so have you watched I could be wrong though. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

They do WWE stuff.

SPEAKER_00

Also, but they also if there's no blood and bloody breath, it I'm gonna be disappointed.

SPEAKER_02

Well, Marty bleeds. So Marty's bled the last twice the last two times I've watched a show, Marty's bled.

SPEAKER_00

Which is part of the reason I've seen him bleed too.

SPEAKER_02

Which is part of the reason I think he gets over too, is he's obviously willing to do that. But I just think as as a wrestling fan, it it's so generic for Marty to just win at Breath It. Because look, I think that's gonna it's set up for Marty West. And like that match is gonna rock. And hopefully we're there for that. Oh, yeah. That match is gonna rock. Is it a is it a title match? Um it's not even announced yet, but it does it does make sense for it to be there. It doesn't make any sense for it to be anywhere else. It makes sense for it to be there, it makes sense for it to be But what I'm saying is if he if he lost and get calls up, gets called up, that's that would make sense for him to lose there and get called, you know, be like he can't, you know, he's disgraced or something. You know what I mean? I could see him, I can see him doing that. Then maybe maybe WB will bring him out of a box and so he'll be over.

SPEAKER_00

I I don't I just don't know about like I don't know if he I don't know if they would let him drop the title to Wes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Follow The Figs: New Merch And Title Hints

SPEAKER_00

Okay I like Wes. I think he's great. I think he should get the title, but I also know if they would do Yeah, I just don't I don't know if the powers that be would let Wes take it.

SPEAKER_03

So I have found stuff uh I don't look I don't look like there's any matches amount announced other than the goal for gold ladder match that that's what the show is about. Um but announced for the show, of course, Marty's gonna be there. Uh we got special guests, Heath Slater and Rhino. Uh we have uh general manager Lemon Juice Jones, uh Murphy Costigan, uh we got Stan Signora and uh Tony Presley. Uh the prospect. Do what doesn't oh uh the heat seekers, grappling ink. Heatseekers rock. Yes. Let me see if there's anything else.

SPEAKER_02

Uh you heard what what uh who was it told us uh Chris referee, referee Chris the re referee, yeah. You know where. Oh yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01

I know.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, being ripped guy. Yeah, Buff Daddy Rip. Buff Daddy. He's calling Buff Daddy Chris. He he uh said the person that he's uh like that's wrestled that he thinks is the best.

SPEAKER_03

Yes. And he he and he said he puts said he puts Matt Sigmunds of the Heat Seekers. Yeah. He puts his drop kick up there with AJ Styles, who said he he doesn't know which one's better, but it he said it's up there, it's it's right there with it.

SPEAKER_02

Sigmund puts in the work too. If you follow him on social media like we do, he's there's nothing except for driving to a show, wrestling, or working out. There's nothing else. There's nothing else there is. That's what that's what he does all the time, which is what it takes, right? That's why all the ones that separate all the great ones, the the the dudes who I put on like my top four. I was asked by Bobo lately who who's on my like my Mount Rushmore, like my top four current best workers in independent wrestling, which is something we should ask the fans. That is true. Well, it's something we should ask the fans who they think their top three best workers are in indie wrestling in this area currently. And you know who I always say is Anthony uh Katana. Yeah, Anthony Katina. Anthony Katina. Dude, he's so nuts. Yeah. Every time I see him work, he's so nuts. I want to see him wrestle all the time. But he's always he's always near the top of my list, obviously. And then, you know, there's I'm not going into that now, but that's something we need to talk to the fans. Uh get everybody in Mark Action. Axton Ray up there. Axon Ray's up there. Oh my god. Yeah. Uh okay, but yeah, that's that's what I was talking about with that. That's really how I feel that Marty's gonna get caught up. Wes, you brought that up. You know, how do you feel about that?

SPEAKER_00

Um, so yeah, I I I think he's gonna get caught up. I think it's gonna be soon, um, sooner than later. Uh really I I don't know where they're gonna put him at. I think he's gonna I think he'll he'll be caught up into probably an NXT.

SPEAKER_01

I I think ID or Evolve first. Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_00

Maybe Evolve. Evolve would be sound right. ID is not evil. Evolve makes sense.

SPEAKER_02

ID is just something you get tagged as when you're on indie scenes.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I say evolve would make sense, uh especially with him getting, you know, that that other part, which was crazy. I mean, I see the screenshots like boys, that's Marty.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Um because most of the time it's like with the other ones, like we we know who Marty is, so we when we'd see him out there, we'd be like, oh, security card's Marty. Uh, but it's always like a fast clip. No, this one was like a 10-minute segment. Um I feel good about and backstage and in front of the crowd, and and speaking parts talking to Logan Paul and uh Austin Theory and everything.

SPEAKER_03

And being in a segment that was which was already from the get-go with Paul Heyman, who he was dealing with, but then you got Jimmy Uso, LA Knight, uh Austin Theory, you know. I mean, that's just insane.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

Cody, Randy, And Heel Turns Debate

SPEAKER_00

I think it's cool. I think it's awesome.

SPEAKER_02

If we get him on the show before he gets too over, we can we need to ask him how it was like meeting our meeting our goat, Paul Heyman. Yeah. Paul Heyman's definitely our goat.

SPEAKER_00

Definitely. You know, you know, he got some he got some world knowledge from him. God, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, it's awesome.

SPEAKER_00

I I mean, could you just imagine being like in that ride-along, you know? Yeah, it's pretty cool. With Paul Heyman.

SPEAKER_02

And where did LA Night take you?

SPEAKER_00

Literally, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Where did you guys go?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Around around the bin, outside. To the local uh medical facility.

SPEAKER_02

Sure. We'll get him the help he needs, boys. That was so stone cold of him.

SPEAKER_03

That was such an attitude error thing.

SPEAKER_02

Such an attitude error thing to do.

SPEAKER_03

I loved it.

SPEAKER_02

But that was fun. Uh all all well to all blessings to Marty.

SPEAKER_01

Um, I actually got to talk to Marty at Breathett County for our boys regional's regional game. And uh got to talk to him about coming on the show. Um he's actually in Georgia right now. He's wrestling tonight, right? Yeah, he's wrestling tonight in Georgia. Georgia. Hopefully that went good for him and got the outcome. Georgia.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I hope I mean I'm sure he worked. I don't know what he worked tonight.

SPEAKER_01

It wasn't AMW, I know, but hopefully we're able to get him on soon.

SPEAKER_02

We like I said, we can get him on before he gets over. Yeah. Oh, yeah. He's it too b he'd be too big for us then soon. I'm I'm he's a dude that's humble though. He's never gonna forget where he came from. No, God, no.

SPEAKER_03

That's that's his whole gimmick.

SPEAKER_02

You know, yeah, we wish well we wish him well, and he moves like crazy. And oh, that's another one though. If you if you follow his social media, he's just eat, sleep, brief. Like there's nothing, there's nothing else. Yeah, absolutely. There's nothing else going on. Uh WWB talk, Wes?

SPEAKER_00

Um Follow the Figs talk. Okay. Uh, if you'd like, hang on one second. Let me go grab something real quick.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know, Follow the Figs. Uh follow the figs talk.

SPEAKER_00

So Follow the Figs talk. Um, I did see uh a little something that was announced. They they showed. Uh I don't know if you guys are familiar with these. I know Claybo's got one. This is my kids.

SPEAKER_02

You got the yeet.

SPEAKER_00

Uh they just they just announced they just announced uh three more. And uh the three that they announced are Pinta, who just got the title. The other two, Clay and Dusty are gonna really like. Chelsea Green. She's and go ahead, another one.

SPEAKER_02

And Liv Morgan Which makes sense anyway. Yeah. That it's that other one's I was hoping it was very good.

SPEAKER_00

No, no, but Dom's on her t-shirt.

SPEAKER_02

That's funny.

SPEAKER_00

Um Liv's gonna get that title.

SPEAKER_02

I I think Liv's getting that title anyway. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Well, as soon as I seen that, I was like, Liv's getting that title. But the Chelsea one makes me think once she gets out of that boot, they're gonna give her another push. And then Rhea's gonna get that title.

SPEAKER_02

I don't know. Dude, come on. Put it on Jade. No, Rhea's getting it. They put it on Cody. Like they're that promo the other night, I think that promo Jay lost because that promo was so bad. She was so bad.

SPEAKER_00

You know, you know why that you know why like Cody dropped the title in the first place, right, guys?

SPEAKER_02

So he could film no.

Logan Paul Vlogs vs Unreal

SPEAKER_00

It's they that he dropped uh yeah, could so so he could film his part in Street Fighter, but the other reason was because um they wanted him to be a draw for Rumble and Um Um Chamber. Elimination Chamber.

SPEAKER_02

And he needed a chase.

SPEAKER_00

So they needed they needed him to drop the title so he could be in both so that he would be a draw. Uh which business-wise makes sense, but it kind of kills the momentum. But yeah, that's the reason why he dropped the title so that they could get him to sell more tickets.

SPEAKER_03

Which I could be wrong. Uh, but I think I saw somewhere that Drew's got some sort of acting thing landed or something.

SPEAKER_00

He's yeah, Highlander. That's yeah, yeah. Highlander. Yeah, he's getting ready to they said uh perfect for that, by the way. He's going to be starting that soon, like next month. So I don't know if it's gonna be before or after Mania, but I would thought he's got uh a main part. He's got a main part in Highlander. He's uh he's playing the brother. Sweet. So he gets to act side by side with uh Henry Cavill and uh Batista.

SPEAKER_01

All day Cody and Randy over Drew and over Drew and Randy.

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

Did I say that right?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I thought I did.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Yeah, I would say all day over that, but who's are they two ways it can go, man, because you can't really have baby versus baby. So is that to be the viper? Cody's gonna be the viper. Oh no, man. We've been we've been saying that for years. I think I think that they're gonna do the whole thing with um Alistair Black, Alistair Black's gonna cause him to become a uh a heel again, the viper.

SPEAKER_03

Or what if it is?

SPEAKER_00

Because he starts shaving his head again.

SPEAKER_03

What if it's kind of a baby versus baby situation? Randy wins at Mania, and that's what like leads Cody into turning.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

That's like you know, losing to your mentor.

SPEAKER_01

Hey, I got a question. Does this match lead to Kevin Owens coming back?

SPEAKER_03

God, that would be awesome. I did see him. No. He's up for an evaluation, but I think it's in the summer to to see if he's clear.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's a it's a re-evaluation. So to see if he's even able to train. He's not been able to train or nothing.

SPEAKER_02

So it's we're always worker shooting. We can't help it. It's it's it's fine.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Um I mean, the way he talked, he just got feeling back in his legs.

SPEAKER_02

So okay, so this is gonna be a little complicated of a worker shoot, okay? So you need to stay with me on it. Okay. Okay, work or shoot. The WWE wants Cody Rhodes. Uh workers shoot. Cody Rhodes is becoming Hulk Hogan. Does the WWE want that or they don't want that? Or is it Cody? Or is it Cody?

SPEAKER_03

I don't think Cody wants it. Yeah, I feel like I feel like it's it's a work.

SPEAKER_02

I seen a I seen a shoe I seen a sh uh a poster today that was like, here, fix the fix the WrestleMania poster, and it was Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, but Cody Rhodes was wearing Hulkamania gear.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my god, that's hilarious.

SPEAKER_02

Because really, I'm not sure we can sustain another championship run for Cody as a baby. I'm not sure we can people are just gonna boo the shit out of him all the time.

SPEAKER_00

You're right. I mean, you're right about that. Um, one thing I will say about Cody is, you know, Cody, at least, you know, he will drop a title. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I'm not saying I feel like I I guess it's more Cody Cena than it is Cody Hogan.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it is. But I think they're just saying he's like golden goose out.

SPEAKER_00

Cody Raheem Rhodes is not racist like Hogan either. No, I know that.

SPEAKER_02

I just Cody's just no no no, he he's he's yeah, he's he's the guy. He's definitely their golden goose, yeah, where they're putting everything all the time.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

F the revival.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I think I'm either with I'm good with either one of those turning heel. Like I'm good with Brandy being the Viper or Cody. I mean, if Cody does, if Cody does end up being the heel, it's gonna be fine. Like he'll be he'll be good as a heel. He'll need Brandy probably.

SPEAKER_00

But yeah, and Brandy's got a show now, uh like a WWE sponsored show on YouTube.

SPEAKER_02

Segway. You had something to talk about, Wes, with uh podcast.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, well so um have you guys like kept up with Logan Paul's YouTube channel?

SPEAKER_03

I have like through Facebook. I've not.

SPEAKER_00

I've not. Okay. I would strongly suggest you guys check that out because he's doing now it he's doing like on the road with WWE stuff.

SPEAKER_01

I have I have watched a couple, but I haven't been seeing them recently.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, uh I watched one the other night. Uh Lucas brought it up, and they're like 10 10 minute videos or less of like, you know, just behind the scenes shit of him, you know, kind of staying in character, kind of not.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

But dude, it's better than Unreal. Oh, yeah. Because Unreal's a work.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

And Logan's just being himself. Unreal is such a work. We were talking about this the other night that last week. Last week, yeah, we were talking about this last week. That that's what it feels like. It's just Unreal is just a complete work.

SPEAKER_00

So uh, like uh he did there was a behind the scenes shot on the video of him getting that argument with uh Kevin Owens on ESPN. Oh. So there was a camera actually on him while he was on the phone arguing. So it showed him in real time get mad and hang up the phone and be like, nah, if this shit. That's all right. All of that. So I mean, yeah, check it out because I think, like I said, it's better than than Unreal could ever be.

SPEAKER_02

So my question is, what do you think's going on in WWE right now that is gonna be on season three?

SPEAKER_00

Season three, it's gonna be Seth's return again?

SPEAKER_02

That's lame as shit.

SPEAKER_00

I think it's gonna be Seth's injury and how they had the segue. That's that's what last season was about. I know, but I mean, this time, like, look how many people got injured. Seth got injured. I mean, it was a domino effect.

SPEAKER_03

I would I would say yeah, it would probably focus around all the injuries more than anything. I mean, of course, other of course the stuff going on on the city.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, I got it. Road dog getting fired. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what it is. They brought he.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's gonna be part of it. He quit, he got mad and quit.

SPEAKER_02

That's gonna be part of it. Because that's that was part of the storyline anyway. I I don't know, man. I'm I uh the the longer I go by, the more I'm pissed off at Unreal. Like it's it's wild that it's wild how I've turned on it. It's funny because I love it.

SPEAKER_00

It's because it's because you don't know what's real with that show. You don't know if they're like creating fake. I know exactly what's real.

SPEAKER_02

None of it. It's all work. Me and Jim Cornette are getting closer and closer to being the same damn person. Yeah, cornet. God, I can't. I'm I'm getting where's Wayne at. Where's Wayne?

Games, Injuries, And Social Media Work

SPEAKER_00

What? Ooh, bro. That's gonna be that's gonna be the that's gonna be the new subject on on Unreal. The whole thing about Wayne O disappearance.

SPEAKER_01

Where's the I just gotta say I have to watch Dark Side of the Ring.

SPEAKER_03

Where's Wano?

SPEAKER_01

I can't believe it. I watched so much Dark Side of the Ring that I listen to the podcast that has the extra stuff. Dude, there's so much knowledge there for you. You have to watch it. Seriously, they're not even long episodes, they're like 30 minutes. 30, 45 minutes. You could watch all those. They're on YouTube and Roku and Tube and Tubi and Hulu and they're on like a million things. Vice.com. ViceTv.com. I think Vice.com is porn.

SPEAKER_00

I predict, I predict next episode. I predict next episode. You're gonna ask Clay about that, and he'll be like, no, I didn't watch them.

SPEAKER_02

Well, I don't know if he has time this week, but he's gonna be no. You can watch them at night in the in your hotel room. I could, yeah. I could, yeah. Uh probably not, but okay, so I could.

SPEAKER_02

Okay. Clay, I'll just ask you then. Okay. Do you miss Vince yet? I don't know. Yeah, I don't really think you don't know. Oh, you don't, but you don't, you're not around for that, so you don't know.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, you wouldn't really have a lot of people.

SPEAKER_01

If you're not a girl on the staff, I caught like the 2017, 2018. If you're not a girl on the staff, do you miss Vince yet?

SPEAKER_03

What is it? Yeah, I don't know. Um I miss his prices.

SPEAKER_02

Tiger was good, right? Oh, I miss his prices. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I didn't even buy a ticket.

SPEAKER_00

Uh I also miss we talked about this last last episode, the predictability.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I can't tell if it's good or bad either.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I can't, but like, you know, when Vince was running things, you didn't know what was going on because he changed everything up. Also heard a story about Vince that um he almost killed the Stone Cold character before it like checks out when Stone Cold when Stone Cold debuted as Stone Cold and he started getting over, but he was supposed to be that heel. And Vince was getting mad that people were getting on his side, getting on Stone Cold side, even though he pinned Stone Cold as a heel, but people were still rooting for him. He got so mad about it that he had an internal meeting and said he wanted he said he didn't like that they were rooting for the heel. So he wanted him to go back as the ringmaster and grow his stubby hair out and shave his face and get baby blues heights again. And he they said it was like silence went across the whole boardroom for a good five minutes, and then someone finally spoke up, was like, how about we just let you know the crowd work this one? Let the crowd direct us where to go. And he finally was like, Yeah, I guess. So for us, I mean, yeah, the the everyone was like, Imagine if he like he almost killed the character before it was the character.

SPEAKER_03

Well, hell, they was trying to kill the character when they was creating it. Before they landed on Stone Cold. I mean, hell, what if it Fang McFrost?

SPEAKER_02

Slightly chilled.

SPEAKER_03

Listener Questions And Indie Memories

SPEAKER_03

SPEAKER_02

They're adding so much shit in there. Yeah, they're adding so much shit. Oh, I I did find a hack I sent you today, by the way, on how to, when it comes out, how to just get all your stuff. Oh, the ringside. Yeah. Yeah. That's all that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, uh Lucas has got it already.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, did you buy the do you download the can't hide money, I guess. I didn't do it.

SPEAKER_00

I didn't do it. He called me and he's like, hey dad, look what I'm playing. I spent all my birthday money.

SPEAKER_02

The only way to do that is spend$150, I think.

SPEAKER_00

Apparently he had$150 worth of birthday money, so he spent it all.

SPEAKER_02

He's paying for a bunch of stuff he don't even want. It's attitude era stuff. Yeah. Clay's probably not gonna get half that stuff. It's just foreign language. So we'll just buy a normal, we're gonna buy the normal version anyways.

SPEAKER_00

He said the ragdoll mechanics are amazing on it.

SPEAKER_02

Setting people up in the top row.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, he was uh he would send me clips of like hell and cell matches. They were on top of the hell and cell, and like he was throwing people off and shit.

SPEAKER_02

Ragdollin. To get the biggest character on the game, Ragdollin's gonna be awesome. Uh throwing Omaha. Last part of the WWE talk that I got is uh Jordan Grace getting hurt. Sucks.

SPEAKER_00

Yep. And got hurt on a dark match.

SPEAKER_02

I know it. And uh is war gonna take away WrestleMania next year? Yes. War's gonna take away next year's WrestleMania? Yes. It's gonna they're gonna move it back to New Orleans.

SPEAKER_00

War's gonna take all the money over wallets too. That's real because of the damn gas prices.

SPEAKER_02

Gas is gonna be$4.20 today.

SPEAKER_03

I paid four something for diesel on the way over here.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, but you're gonna pay probably$4.50 for regular next week. Oh, yeah, I'll probably be paying six for the diesel.

SPEAKER_00

Uh regular today when I filled up was three nineteen. Last week it was two eighty.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah. I'm not I'm not here for it. We should just buy a barrel. I'm not here for any of that. So if if if war runs, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm not gonna do anything.

SPEAKER_00

AW Talk. It's gonna hurt it's gonna hurt WWE because now people's gotta decide if they want to go to Mania or a pay-per-view or just an event or put gas in their car.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, tickets. Oh, yeah. I didn't buy I didn't even buy tickets because tickets are so expensive now.

SPEAKER_03

Are you serious?

SPEAKER_02

I didn't though I didn't even get pre sale. I had a pre sale code and I didn't get tickets because I couldn't decide because they were so expensive. And I'm thinking about just doing the thing. That other people do and wait until the day of the event. Well, that's a lot.

SPEAKER_03

And getting them, you can get them half off. That's like last year though, too. I waited, hell, it was quite close to it before I even bought mine and still got right beside you.

SPEAKER_02

See, there's a there's a there's a time frame in buying tickets where it comes back around. There's like they're cheap when they first come out, and then they they get fatter and then they go back down, and like the night before the event, you can get them like 70 bucks. You can get them.

SPEAKER_03

And then you got people you know selling theirs that they can't go or whatever.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think we'll just wait till it gets closer. I'd love for us all to go together. Even if we don't sit together, I'd love for us all to get to go together.

SPEAKER_00

Absolutely. Maybe y'all get to meet uh maybe y'all get to meet Jelly Roll.

SPEAKER_02

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that'd be cool.

SPEAKER_02

You're going too. AEW AEW is gonna is planning, it looks like AEW's planning to drop the title off MJF to Hangman Adam Page at uh Revolution. No, what's the name what's the event? AEW, is it Revolution? Yeah, I think it's Revolution. I can't remember. I don't know. But it's a Texas deathmatch. Hangman. He's gonna drop the title already? I don't know. It smells like that because there's like other stuff going on.

SPEAKER_00

Uh oh, you think he's gonna drop the title of the Hangman? So then Hangman can drop the swerve. I think Swerve's getting real over.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I think you'll I think you have to put it on Swerve, and you can't put it on Swerve by pinning MJF.

SPEAKER_00

Found out also, speaking of Swerve, you remember when he came out as Green Lantern?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

So the reason he came out as Green Lantern is because I I actually picked up the new AEWDC comic. Because he teamed up with Green Lantern in the comic.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, Swervehausen.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Swervhausen. Swervehousen did.

SPEAKER_02

Jordan Griys didn't have to be a good thing.

SPEAKER_00

So basically I think she needs to start uh putting that spray tent on her feet.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Did y'all see that picture? Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's rough. Uh Drew McIntyre text somebody. I guess Drew McIntyre said he texts Nick Aldous. I I don't know. There was there's a there's a ridiculous there's a ridiculous post. Drew McIntyre like Drew McIntyre's social media work is is next level. It's it's awesome. I love it every time.

Um Ryan says, with Marty Clay getting prominent spot on Raw this week, how far do we see him realistically? How far until we see him realistically hitting the big show?

SPEAKER_03

Well, we've kind of already answered it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

We answered that. You're gonna have to go back. And here it we think that it's gonna be sooner rather than later. And if he drops the title to Wes, then we know.

SPEAKER_05

Yeah.

Family Ties And Botchamania Laughs

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_03

Absolutely, I do. Um it was, I think, in 2013. I've told it to y'all many a times. Um, I've probably even told it on here before. Uh it all started. I was at the local start. Yeah. It all started at the local mall down in Dalton, Georgia, down there with the family, and we're getting food. And my aunt looks across the food court and she's like, Is that wrestlers over there? And I kind of poke around and I look, and I'll be damned if I don't see Luke Gallows standing over there, and I was like, That's fucking Luke Gallows. And so I go over there and and you know, say what's up, get a picture signed. And he was there for a uh local promotion, the next county over uh renegade championship wrestling, RCW. And uh it was like it was either that night or that next day, and so absolutely I went. I was in my it I was in the it might have been 2012 because I had my green Cena shirt that he wore at twenty at maybe a twenty eight, had my jorts on that I Cena out for my first wrestling show. And um it for for what I remember it was quite it was a quite a good show, very cool venue. Uh I think they have changed venues since then, but like the bleachers was like up on the wall, and like and as soon as you get to the floor, there's the ring, you know. Oh, I love that. Like a small venue, but it's yeah, and uh there it there might have even been I don't know if there was a cage that night. I think it was the second time I went to that place, but no, but Luke Gallows, this is when he was in Aces and Eights as well, too. So um yeah, very, very memorable uh first show for sure.

SPEAKER_02

That's awesome.

SPEAKER_01

First show I remember going to was um Dad, I don't know if you remember this. Uh LCC, me, my cousin, and my other best friend went to a show and we bought these these luchador masks. Yeah. And we sat front row. I can't I don't know what the show was called, but that's the last show I remember them having at Lecher Central.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, why don't they have shows there anymore? I don't know. Was it Bluegrass Championship Wrestle? I have I have nothing. I feel like that's the last time I remember a show being at LCC.

SPEAKER_01

I was too young to remember. I was like, are they still around?

Upcoming Shows And Guest Plans

SPEAKER_03

It might have been. No, I'm not no that that's how I discovered Adam Newsome was at BCW. Yeah. But no, I don't think they're still around. I feel I think some of those people are with Wildfire. That was with BCW.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, it's probably the same they all over the place. Yeah. Wes, would you remember your first show?

SPEAKER_00

No, too much trauma. I know.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think we went to indie shows when we were younger, though. I don't remember going to indie shows until I was like 15.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we didn't really go to indie shows. We went to like ground and pound shows a lot, though. Do you remember those that like at Neon? Yeah. That we would go to the fights. They would host more of those. Yeah, the fights. They would host more fights than they would wrestling when we were young. Um, but I mean, yeah, I remember those more than indie shows. And like Dusty, you know, same way, you know, because it's like me and him were always at them. Um, so yeah, too much trauma.

SPEAKER_03

I don't remember much of my childhood. I do I got one story. It ain't my story, it's about uh one of my older brothers.

SPEAKER_02

We be stealing stories at the moment.

SPEAKER_03

This was God knows we'd be telling stories. I don't know if this was probably back in the eighty late eighties or nineties when wrestling would come like down here in Neon and stuff.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Smoky Mountain.

SPEAKER_03

And um Yeah. So it was my dad and uh my brother Dustin, God rest his soul.

SPEAKER_02

Is this a Macho Man story?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know if it's the Macho Man. No, this is this is a different story. I I'm pretty sure they've seen Macho Man there, but they had midget wrestlers wrestling that night.

SPEAKER_01

I think you have told us this story.

SPEAKER_03

And uh Dad said those midgets fell out ringside to him, and dad said before he knew it, Dustin was on top of them damn midgets trying to wrestle with them too. Oh shit. And said he had to get a hold of him, drag him outside, said his face was blood red, said the town sh or the local sheriff was right there just laughing his ass off over it and everything.
