So we get to go.

Bryan Gibson: 0:01

Let's go.

Gary Mariner II: 0:02

So where do you want to start?

Bryan Gibson: 0:03

Okay. Cody, what do you want to talk about? Oh, man. So much has happened in this last week.

Gary Mariner II: 0:04

I mean,

Bryan Gibson: 0:05

It

Gary Mariner II: 0:06

let's

Bryan Gibson: 0:07

hasn't

Gary Mariner II: 0:08

start

Bryan Gibson: 0:09

been

Gary Mariner II: 0:10

let's

Bryan Gibson: 0:11

a full week yet,

Gary Mariner II: 0:12

let

Bryan Gibson: 0:13

but.

Gary Mariner II: 0:14

let's start right at the beginning saying because we can we go to the past and all of that because we got the history and and, you know, yeah, we're fans and and we've been doing this for 20 years. But

Bryan Gibson: 0:15

Took

Gary Mariner II: 0:16

to

Bryan Gibson: 0:17

more

Gary Mariner II: 0:18

me,

Bryan Gibson: 0:19

than 20.

Gary Mariner II: 0:20

for to me, the highlight has been for all of these people who are new WWE fans who don't know nothing about WWF in the real history. What happened this past weekend or this past week brings us back to WWF again. They don't want to see that name anymore because of the whole beast that was going on. But like you said to me earlier, when was the last time you saw a rock go heel?

Bryan Gibson: 0:21

Listen, we're in astronomical times when it comes to the world of the world wrestling entertainment industry, because right now. The pivot is real. And I'm talking about it's a hard pivot that they've done and it's instantaneous and I'm loving it. To hear the rock first on the Pat McAfee show, it was it was like you've kind of felt that it was coming

Gary Mariner II: 0:22

Cody

Bryan Gibson: 0:23

then

Gary Mariner II: 0:24

crybabies.

Bryan Gibson: 0:25

to crony crybabies. Like he always has his punch lines. He has his he has his zingers. You know what I mean? His his electrifying zingers.

Gary Mariner II: 0:26

Because there's nobody who does it better on the mic right

Bryan Gibson: 0:27

No,

Gary Mariner II: 0:28

now.

Bryan Gibson: 0:29

no, no. That is a superstar. That is correct. You know a superstar. We win. We're not going to go into managers because we've got some people that can go almighty. We'll

Gary Mariner II: 0:30

No.

Bryan Gibson: 0:31

give it to the for this conversation. We'll give it to the rock.

Gary Mariner II: 0:32

It's all you're saying.

Bryan Gibson: 0:33

Now? No, actually, no. What? We're going to touch on that in a minute. Actually, I just

Gary Mariner II: 0:34

Yep.

Bryan Gibson: 0:35

thought of something.

Gary Mariner II: 0:36

Mm hmm.

Bryan Gibson: 0:37

But to your point, this is really big. And the last time we saw this type of rock and, you know, we I know I shared the poster, too, earlier that they're like, how, you know, it looks like the rock and the star going into Hollywood rock and everything. The last time we saw Heel Rock was early. 2000s. When when Goldberg Goldberg's debut, if I'm not mistaken

Gary Mariner II: 0:38

Mm

Bryan Gibson: 0:39

it was

Gary Mariner II: 0:40

hmm.

Bryan Gibson: 0:41

on Goldberg debuted in WW F at the time

Gary Mariner II: 0:42

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 0:43

and and speared speared the soul out of out of. He turned them he turned them into Dwayne.

Gary Mariner II: 0:44

That.

Bryan Gibson: 0:45

He turned them into Dwayne. So, you know, as we did, as you mentioned, we did discuss earlier, you know, then this is a big opportunity that I don't believe that, you know, with with Paul in charge now. And my mantra relates he's not going to let this go. He's not going to let this just be a waste. This is not going to be a wash. This is not the times of just even a month ago where this could have just went all to hell.

Gary Mariner II: 0:46

And then, you know, once again, to go back to a previous conversation that we were having. People don't remember when we had WWF versus WCW and how

Bryan Gibson: 0:47

He.

Gary Mariner II: 0:48

D-Generation X decided to go Full Monty with no care, no consideration about what they did, said who they hurt didn't matter the ultimate heels or the ultimate bad guys. But people loved the bad guys. And you have to understand, you can't have a promotion that is as successful if you don't have the proper face and the proper heel.

Bryan Gibson: 0:49

Absolutely. Well, you already know me for the longest thing. You want to talk about d-generation x man. Listen, if anybody comes across this and knew me in in elementary school, I was the class weirdo because I was going around crotch dropping all the time and it was like, what the hell is he up to?

Gary Mariner II: 0:50

Those.

Bryan Gibson: 0:51

You know, fast forward a few years and now everybody wants to tell you to suck it. You know it. It was it was raw. It was great. I always loved the anti-authority, you know? You know me.

Gary Mariner II: 0:52

More.

Bryan Gibson: 0:53

I'm a big triple H fan. He was

Gary Mariner II: 0:54

I'm

Bryan Gibson: 0:55

the greatest

Gary Mariner II: 0:56

on

Bryan Gibson: 0:57

asshole of all times.

Gary Mariner II: 0:58

all time.

Bryan Gibson: 0:59

And I well, you know, there was generations, but

Gary Mariner II: 1:00

Hell

Bryan Gibson: 1:01

of our era, I would say,

Gary Mariner II: 1:02

yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 1:03

you

Gary Mariner II: 1:04

Of.

Bryan Gibson: 1:05

know, Triple H was just as I was, say, your son of a bitch, that bastard.

Gary Mariner II: 1:06

I.

Bryan Gibson: 1:07

Jay If you just ever get to see those clips. Jay I was going in on him. That son of a bitch, triple h. So, you know, so all of that comes around full circle because he had his creativity, you know, he had his perks and his creativity. So to his inserting that into, you know, this modern day product man, because

Gary Mariner II: 1:08

And that.

Bryan Gibson: 1:09

this royal rumble has been it's been doing some different things, man.

Gary Mariner II: 1:10

I see. That's that's the thing right there. That mindset and that capability of being forward thinking. Capitalizing

Bryan Gibson: 1:11

Right.

Gary Mariner II: 1:12

on the opportunities that are that are right there in front of you. We've never been at the point where wrestling has been this big. It's never been so mind blowingly globally accepted. The whole Twitter thing, Instagram, tik tok, all of that YouTube. All of that stuff wasn't big when we were fans. You had

Bryan Gibson: 1:13

No.

Gary Mariner II: 1:14

to watch it. You had to be there in order to understand and really connect with it as much as we did. But now, like the the trailer that you sent me and that we just watched tonight or Monday Night Raw that they decided to put right after the whole. And we're going to get into this in the second, the whole spin that was put on by Cody and Seth Rollins.

Bryan Gibson: 1:15

Oh, man.

Gary Mariner II: 1:16

Not. But now you understand what I was telling you, right?

Bryan Gibson: 1:17

Yeah. That's

Gary Mariner II: 1:18

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 1:19

an interesting.

Gary Mariner II: 1:20

So so for all of those who are not real, real fans and I'm just for, you know, because this is obviously the name of our podcast is Russell Nexis, because if you're not Nexis, you're against us point blank, period.

Bryan Gibson: 1:21

Absolutely.

Gary Mariner II: 1:22

And if you weren't there when Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns used to come down as the shield and run roughshod and fuck everybody's whole game up, you don't understand what happened today.

Bryan Gibson: 1:23

At all.

Gary Mariner II: 1:24

You can argue that

Bryan Gibson: 1:25

At all. He

Gary Mariner II: 1:26

you.

Bryan Gibson: 1:27

he people. He he. He. He does. He does. Really. Roman reigns trying to talk about my. What's it called? My little brother. It is. And he's wearing his way. He fails to realize that Roman wasn't the big dog. He wasn't the big dog. Seth was. Is. Seth took ownership. He thinks ownership today of, you know, the message created when he came to having the shield. He was the architect. He was the mastermind by everything. He put it together and tore it apart.

Gary Mariner II: 1:28

Yes,

Bryan Gibson: 1:29

And when

Gary Mariner II: 1:30

he

Bryan Gibson: 1:31

he

Gary Mariner II: 1:32

did.

Bryan Gibson: 1:33

tore torn apart, that cause you could call you I guess you could call it like a mental a mental tear. You seen Dean named in the same excuse

Gary Mariner II: 1:34

Nope.

Bryan Gibson: 1:35

me. John Nice.

Gary Mariner II: 1:36

No

Bryan Gibson: 1:37

John.

Gary Mariner II: 1:38

job.

Bryan Gibson: 1:39

Mr. MARKS

Gary Mariner II: 1:40

Moxley

Bryan Gibson: 1:41

Mr.. Mr. MOXLEY

Gary Mariner II: 1:42

shot

Bryan Gibson: 1:43

And then

Gary Mariner II: 1:44

out the

Bryan Gibson: 1:45

and

Gary Mariner II: 1:46

mouth.

Bryan Gibson: 1:47

then shout out to Marx facts. The whole Blackpool. We miss you. We need

Gary Mariner II: 1:48

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 1:49

your back

Gary Mariner II: 1:50

We miss

Bryan Gibson: 1:51

over

Gary Mariner II: 1:52

you.

Bryan Gibson: 1:53

here.

Gary Mariner II: 1:54

We miss Alba. Not. Not.

Bryan Gibson: 1:55

But then, you know, for Roman. Roman, Roman was so lost.

Gary Mariner II: 1:56

Okay.

Bryan Gibson: 1:57

Roma was lost. You know what I mean? So.

Gary Mariner II: 1:58

It took him a minute.

Bryan Gibson: 1:59

And if you really think bad out of everybody bad that that faced Roman since he's been a type there's only been two people to know. I'm not even going to go there. I'm not I'm not going to go that route. I'm going to stay on course. He never beat, sir. Seth

Gary Mariner II: 2:00

This

Bryan Gibson: 2:01

won

Gary Mariner II: 2:02

is true.

Bryan Gibson: 2:03

that match. He just didn't lose that. He just didn't lose his title. Seth

Gary Mariner II: 2:04

This

Bryan Gibson: 2:05

would

Gary Mariner II: 2:06

is true.

Bryan Gibson: 2:07

not go down. Seth had to be choked out with 2 to 5 count, and the ref had to disqualify Roman. Because he didn't want to let go.

Gary Mariner II: 2:08

Now

Bryan Gibson: 2:09

So he's a thorn in the side.

Gary Mariner II: 2:10

he is a thorn in his side. But I will give you I will say this, though, because you have a very valid point. But Roman Reigns then is not Roman Reigns now.

Bryan Gibson: 2:11

Absolutely not.

Gary Mariner II: 2:12

And Seth Rollins can talk all that shit that he want to talk. But he's not Roman Reigns now.

Bryan Gibson: 2:13

God

Gary Mariner II: 2:14

Because

Bryan Gibson: 2:15

mode.

Gary Mariner II: 2:16

he mm

Bryan Gibson: 2:17

He's

Gary Mariner II: 2:18

mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

Bryan Gibson: 2:19

in

Gary Mariner II: 2:20

mm.

Bryan Gibson: 2:21

God mode.

Gary Mariner II: 2:22

He's a straight guard

Bryan Gibson: 2:23

Imagine

Gary Mariner II: 2:24

mode.

Bryan Gibson: 2:25

he meant

Gary Mariner II: 2:26

He's just

Bryan Gibson: 2:27

it.

Gary Mariner II: 2:28

straight camo. Like what you heard.

Bryan Gibson: 2:29

Seth. Seth may have been the savior for for whatever. But guess what? God mode is God mode, man. You

Gary Mariner II: 2:30

My

Bryan Gibson: 2:31

can't.

Gary Mariner II: 2:32

period.

Bryan Gibson: 2:33

I mean, at the end of the day, we all know we all know, you know, the story lines and everything like that. But it's as a fan when you look at it, this is going to be one of the greatest stories of our time.

Gary Mariner II: 2:34

Absolutely.

Bryan Gibson: 2:35

This

Gary Mariner II: 2:36

And.

Bryan Gibson: 2:37

is going to be the greatest of all time. Let me tell you something. When Roman

Gary Mariner II: 2:38

I.

Bryan Gibson: 2:39

loses his belt, he's walking away. I do not see him wrestling after this.

Gary Mariner II: 2:40

No.

Bryan Gibson: 2:41

Not. Not as a regular competitor. Maybe he might become like, you know, very Undertaker esque or Brock Lesnar ish. Excuse me. We don't mention that name no more. But, you know, does just that or even now, the rock, you know,

Gary Mariner II: 2:42

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 2:43

where he makes his a K, his things. This is a big deal. So to go back to what you said about what Seth said today about, you know, he's the only person that could be Cody Shield. I know that. So I know you've been waiting because you kind of started watching it before me. Shout out to me for catching up to everything in an hour and a half. This is the beat. But until you shout out to the new day and. And Jay

Gary Mariner II: 2:44

Yo

Bryan Gibson: 2:45

versus Imperium,

Gary Mariner II: 2:46

j murdered

Bryan Gibson: 2:47

I hear.

Gary Mariner II: 2:48

that the slap heard across the world because what he

Bryan Gibson: 2:49

Yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 2:50

slapped yo.

Bryan Gibson: 2:51

Yeah, that was good.

Gary Mariner II: 2:52

When

Bryan Gibson: 2:53

And that's.

Gary Mariner II: 2:54

he's

Bryan Gibson: 2:55

Sorry

Gary Mariner II: 2:56

left.

Bryan Gibson: 2:57

I said

Gary Mariner II: 2:58

He's

Bryan Gibson: 2:59

that

Gary Mariner II: 3:00

not a good.

Bryan Gibson: 3:01

and told

Gary Mariner II: 3:02

Doesn't

Bryan Gibson: 3:03

me

Gary Mariner II: 3:04

know.

Bryan Gibson: 3:05

to pay attention

Gary Mariner II: 3:06

That was crazy.

Bryan Gibson: 3:07

to that one. Yeah,

Gary Mariner II: 3:08

Go.

Bryan Gibson: 3:09

you told me to pay attention. That was. I

Gary Mariner II: 3:10

Go

Bryan Gibson: 3:11

looked

Gary Mariner II: 3:12

to eight

Bryan Gibson: 3:13

at that

Gary Mariner II: 3:14

that.

Bryan Gibson: 3:15

one.

Gary Mariner II: 3:16

Go to eight that.

Bryan Gibson: 3:17

He had to. He had to. Even the Terminator, he needed a little bit of oil after that.

Gary Mariner II: 3:18

Ferrell.

Bryan Gibson: 3:19

But. But no back. So. Yeah. You've been waiting for me to. You wanted me to see that. But guess what? Here's where. Here's where I'm going to take it. I still stand on what I was saying. And for all the people that are going to be listening, let me reiterate what I said to my brother earlier today Before I saw the promo between Cody and Seth, I stated they're going to try and do a bloodline revamp. They're going to make it so powerful that right now I feel at the end of the day, it's going to be Rocky versus Cody and excuse me, Rock versus Seth. And the way he's going to do it is because as we started off, this is Rock Hill. We're dealing with we're dealing with the rock who don't give a fuck. He is the new authority. He's going to be like, Yup, I can't mention his name either. But if you if you thought Mr. Mrs. Mister Snazzy Pants was bad, this guy's about to be really bad, but he is in tune and in touch with today's products. So we're in for a ride because

Gary Mariner II: 3:20

Exactly.

Bryan Gibson: 3:21

all he has to do is be he is the official board. He may not be the chairman of the board, but he is a board member. And he

Gary Mariner II: 3:22

Don't

Bryan Gibson: 3:23

has

Gary Mariner II: 3:24

get

Bryan Gibson: 3:25

weight

Gary Mariner II: 3:26

it twisted.

Bryan Gibson: 3:27

to throw around. Right. Not to be not to be confused. He he has that. So what is he going to do? He's going to probably he can go into the he can go into the elimination chamber. Right. Because guess what? We've had we've had more than more than just six people in the chamber before it's happened. It started off as a triple threat and then each person was released. I think they did it one time. I don't remember who the competitors were, but it has happened. Or he can literally let all that happen and come through the Monday night raw. After that, it doesn't matter if you won the chamber,

Gary Mariner II: 3:28

It doesn't.

Bryan Gibson: 3:29

you get the it doesn't matter.

Gary Mariner II: 3:30

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 3:31

You get to a space, whoever wins because I want this title and they want to make now it was it was a magical moment because you saw where it was going to be a battle. And now it's a it's they've come together.

Gary Mariner II: 3:32

And

Bryan Gibson: 3:33

Now

Gary Mariner II: 3:34

I think.

Bryan Gibson: 3:35

it's about the bloodline. It's the history.

Gary Mariner II: 3:36

So with.

Bryan Gibson: 3:37

It's another blood all over again. I'm sorry.

Gary Mariner II: 3:38

With

Bryan Gibson: 3:39

Good.

Gary Mariner II: 3:40

that. With that, as a you have your your thoughts on that? I've got two different thoughts based on what I saw tonight.

Bryan Gibson: 3:41

Go for it.

Gary Mariner II: 3:42

So number one. It's iffy. Or I could say it's kind of hairy. What happened with Seth Rollins? Because I could go one of two ways. Seth Rollins could really be in Cody's corner and he could team up with him and he could help him to take on the rock and so on and so forth. And everything that you said or. We've seen strange things happen. Seth

Bryan Gibson: 3:43

Mm

Gary Mariner II: 3:44

Rollins

Bryan Gibson: 3:45

hmm.

Gary Mariner II: 3:46

could turn on Cody.

Bryan Gibson: 3:47

I thought about that because you

Gary Mariner II: 3:48

And.

Bryan Gibson: 3:49

didn't want to pick me. So screw you. I absolutely

Gary Mariner II: 3:50

Hey,

Bryan Gibson: 3:51

thought about that

Gary Mariner II: 3:52

because. Because

Bryan Gibson: 3:53

because

Gary Mariner II: 3:54

you're

Bryan Gibson: 3:55

he's

Gary Mariner II: 3:56

not

Bryan Gibson: 3:57

an asshole.

Gary Mariner II: 3:58

going to mention the shield. You're not going to mention the shield. And as your brother, he could turn and they could just be straight heels leading into, as we were already talking about, leading into this new Netflix run that they are about to go on. And both men, you know, the moment they go, Netflix is the moment that all holds barred is off. And you

Bryan Gibson: 3:59

May

Gary Mariner II: 4:00

need

Bryan Gibson: 4:01

I ask you something? Oh,

Gary Mariner II: 4:02

you

Bryan Gibson: 4:03

sorry.

Gary Mariner II: 4:04

need

Bryan Gibson: 4:05

No,

Gary Mariner II: 4:06

people

Bryan Gibson: 4:07

no.

Gary Mariner II: 4:08

like like a rock and stone cold Steve Austin,

Bryan Gibson: 4:09

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 4:10

who don't care who in-your-face who's going to beat everybody's ass and be that asshole that everyone loves. You need those people at the helm when you go into Netflix with this new raw is war that they're setting up to go into.

Bryan Gibson: 4:11

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 4:12

Or.

Bryan Gibson: 4:13

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 4:14

Or paying attention to what else happened tonight. We got MacIntyre. MacIntyre just stated that he's more than happy. We're putting Cody out the same way. We hope that C.M. Punk was put out.

Bryan Gibson: 4:15

Yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 4:16

So Cody don't even make it to WrestleMania then is going to be McIntyre for the belt is going to be Roman versus the rock The rock is going to hand it over to Roman on some undertaker, you know, handing the keys over to Oh, boy, God rest his soul.

Bryan Gibson: 4:17

Yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 4:18

And if he does that. We already know he's beaten Hogan's record, and he's going for the longest ever bit to do it. And that's going to cement his legacy. He's going to be the goat forever.

Bryan Gibson: 4:19

Well. You have a very good play with the whole Seth Rollins thing. But now that you said that, it crossed my mind, but it didn't linger

Gary Mariner II: 4:20

Lay

Bryan Gibson: 4:21

enough.

Gary Mariner II: 4:22

low, bro. Look.

Bryan Gibson: 4:23

But but hold on. I'm about. I'm about to I'm about to take it a little take it a little further. What did we just say? Or who do we shout out? And then I text you and say, you're, what is this man's contract? Because

Gary Mariner II: 4:24

D.

Bryan Gibson: 4:25

what are they doing with him?

Gary Mariner II: 4:26

What's up with Dane?

Bryan Gibson: 4:27

With. With Dean.

Gary Mariner II: 4:28

Because

Bryan Gibson: 4:29

Bryan Gibson: 4:31

never

Gary Mariner II: 4:32

Bryan Gibson: 4:33

see him again. What's up with Max?

Gary Mariner II: 4:34

Yo because we had and this and once again going back to the whole thing when WWF and we had the Money Night Rule, we had the Monday night wars between WCW and WWF They get tired, AIW and TNA talking, they name putting a name out in the mud, saying all sorts of it, whatever. And it's like, yo! Back then we had decks and decks came up on your show and shut ish down.

Bryan Gibson: 4:35

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 4:36

And then we just bought you out. And I had my son go in and just take over to show. Why

Bryan Gibson: 4:37

Well, you know,

Gary Mariner II: 4:38

Bryan Gibson: 4:39

we don't got to worry about TNA right now. We got a we got a good working relationship

Gary Mariner II: 4:40

It was

Gary Mariner II: 5:24

got

Bryan Gibson: 5:25

territories

Gary Mariner II: 5:26

to open up.

Bryan Gibson: 5:27

all over again.

Gary Mariner II: 5:28

You got to open up the territories in the moment. You open up the territories. That means that I can take your wrestlers. Matter of

Bryan Gibson: 5:29

Uh

Gary Mariner II: 5:30

fact, I don't

Bryan Gibson: 5:31

huh.

Gary Mariner II: 5:32

even have to take your wrestlers. I can do with TNA and what AIW is doing. And I could take your belts and I can have my people come and fight in your rings and take your shit from you.

Bryan Gibson: 5:33

Now, hold on. Let's not forget that we had this happen.

Gary Mariner II: 5:34

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 5:35

Did we not? Did we not have? Who was it? That was the item you see on Raw.

Gary Mariner II: 5:36

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 5:37

Oh, was it? It wasn't Kurt, wasn't it?

Gary Mariner II: 5:38

I was a

Bryan Gibson: 5:39

Who

Gary Mariner II: 5:40

Kurd.

Bryan Gibson: 5:41

wasn't? I don't know. I want I don't know if it was Kurt or not, but we had a Iwg champion come out and be champ on raw. They were on raw wearing the belt. They didn't they weren't acknowledged. But it definitely is. I'll get back to you about that. But it's been

Gary Mariner II: 5:42

This

Bryan Gibson: 5:43

done.

Gary Mariner II: 5:44

game, Nakamura.

Bryan Gibson: 5:45

Hmm.

Gary Mariner II: 5:46

No, it wasn't Shinseki.

Bryan Gibson: 5:47

Nah, that was. Wait, does I. This is WWF days. I was about Taz was still wrestling. Wow. Why do I want to think of Taz when I said that? Because Taz, if I'm not mistaken, wasn't he TCW champion? Not to CW, but the bottom line to what we were saying. There's going to be some things going on. There's already there's going to be some craziness going on and.

Gary Mariner II: 5:48

He is down.

Bryan Gibson: 5:49

Is down and to kind of just bring everything back to what we were saying about how everything is going to go when it comes to this WrestleMania situation. We have nothing, but we have two months to unfold. They have to get to Perth.

Gary Mariner II: 5:50

I

Bryan Gibson: 5:51

Right

Gary Mariner II: 5:52

mean,

Bryan Gibson: 5:53

now,

Gary Mariner II: 5:54

be.

Bryan Gibson: 5:55

Perth is a focus because you have major stars right now that are out of that country. They have their countrymen. You have you have got you. If if everything works out for him to still go because I remember a few months back they were saying there was some issues with his visa. So we still don't know if he's going to get. We're going to get gone Perth. It's kind of interesting since he's doing the Jay cell match next week. So

Gary Mariner II: 5:56

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 5:57

you may not he may not be going to Perth, but but you have Rhea Ripley, probably one of the most dominant women's champions that we've had since, you know China, maybe. You

Gary Mariner II: 5:58

Yes.

Bryan Gibson: 5:59

know what I mean?

Gary Mariner II: 6:00

China.

Bryan Gibson: 6:01

May God bless. You

Gary Mariner II: 6:02

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 6:03

know what I'm saying? Because just being strong, a strong champion, you know what I mean? Not saying that. Shout out to Bianca and whatnot. But

Gary Mariner II: 6:04

Of course.

Bryan Gibson: 6:05

she could

Gary Mariner II: 6:06

Shout

Bryan Gibson: 6:07

be

Gary Mariner II: 6:08

out

Bryan Gibson: 6:09

Bianca

Gary Mariner II: 6:10

to Jade. Shout

Bryan Gibson: 6:11

to

Gary Mariner II: 6:12

out to

Bryan Gibson: 6:13

Jade.

Gary Mariner II: 6:14

Jade.

Bryan Gibson: 6:15

Well, I mean, we're always going to shout out Jade, you know,

Gary Mariner II: 6:16

He

Bryan Gibson: 6:17

especially

Gary Mariner II: 6:18

is down.

Bryan Gibson: 6:19

you, baby. You've got a special place for you.

Gary Mariner II: 6:20

You already know. We

Bryan Gibson: 6:21

But.

Gary Mariner II: 6:22

got much love for you, baby.

Bryan Gibson: 6:23

But, yes. TBS title coup. It was what it was. I'm shocked. I say Bianca, because Bianca was our women's champion multiple

Gary Mariner II: 6:24

Damn straight.

Bryan Gibson: 6:25

times and a long time. She

Gary Mariner II: 6:26

Long

Bryan Gibson: 6:27

won that.

Gary Mariner II: 6:28

time

Bryan Gibson: 6:29

She won that bet. She won

Gary Mariner II: 6:30

in

Bryan Gibson: 6:31

that belt and held that belt. You

Gary Mariner II: 6:32

the

Bryan Gibson: 6:33

understand?

Gary Mariner II: 6:34

east.

Bryan Gibson: 6:35

I'm saying she's

Gary Mariner II: 6:36

Maybe.

Bryan Gibson: 6:37

the she's in she is the EIC. So with that is like but she was still so so cookie cutter. We don't we don't get that here. We still had Shiloh who we saw come as the heel going too strong, be strong. It was just brawling. And now the who's other what other woman have we had since her to really be so dominant?

Gary Mariner II: 6:38

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 6:39

Real

Gary Mariner II: 6:40

Everybody else

Bryan Gibson: 6:41

re

Gary Mariner II: 6:42

has been

Bryan Gibson: 6:43

is

Gary Mariner II: 6:44

flimsy.

Bryan Gibson: 6:45

it?

Gary Mariner II: 6:46

I'm sorry.

Bryan Gibson: 6:47

Right? Right. So now we have Rhea and it's going to be a big deal. And not only is do we have Rhea, but we have nine jacks.

Gary Mariner II: 6:48

You know. Nice

Bryan Gibson: 6:49

That's a

Gary Mariner II: 6:50

about

Bryan Gibson: 6:51

big

Gary Mariner II: 6:52

the murder.

Bryan Gibson: 6:53

mess.

Gary Mariner II: 6:54

She's about to murder a.

Bryan Gibson: 6:55

But it's going to be such a good match. It makes sense

Gary Mariner II: 6:56

Exactly.

Bryan Gibson: 6:57

and it's going to be right there in Perth. You see them saying

Gary Mariner II: 6:58

Exactly.

Bryan Gibson: 6:59

so right now WWE focus is going to be Perth and making and making the moves that they need to make that be the biggest

Gary Mariner II: 7:00

So,

Bryan Gibson: 7:01

thing.

Gary Mariner II: 7:02

so, so ways away. So he's a ways away. I'll me interrupt you, but I must say, I mostly like this.

Bryan Gibson: 7:03

Go ahead.

Gary Mariner II: 7:04

Me and you both know how big and how crazy deep and long the storylines have been. When you put Triple H and the rock at the helm. We've

Bryan Gibson: 7:05

Mm hmm.

Gary Mariner II: 7:06

seen stories that have played out over a year or two years long where they milked the heck out of the story and built it and built it and built it What people don't realize is we got the entrance to the story. At the at the press conferences event. If you if you if you're not a real wrestling fan, you don't understand this. But B, you know what I'm talking about? This is the beginning.

Bryan Gibson: 7:07

Mm hmm.

Gary Mariner II: 7:08

Perth. Perth is act one. WrestleMania is at two. SummerSlam

Bryan Gibson: 7:09

So.

Gary Mariner II: 7:10

is going to be at three.

Bryan Gibson: 7:11

The great, the biggest party of the summer.

Gary Mariner II: 7:12

SummerSlam is Act Three. By the time that we get to November and we start seeing stuff on Netflix. They're going to be trying to close out the story at next WrestleMania. And you you can you can hate me all you want. You can talk about me all you want, but you're not seeing the bigger picture. The rock and Triple

Bryan Gibson: 7:13

All right.

Gary Mariner II: 7:14

H don't play the short game. They played a long game. They already

Bryan Gibson: 7:15

Yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 7:16

know what's to come. They know Netflix is coming, and the only way to get there is you got to tear down the walls to get there, to open up at the level that they're trying to open up and 888. You got to look at the way that he was talking before the press conference even happened.

Bryan Gibson: 7:17

Right.

Gary Mariner II: 7:18

He let everybody know off the rip and the rock was letting people know all of the rip. Everything is about to change. And they

Bryan Gibson: 7:19

Everything.

Gary Mariner II: 7:20

don't make, you know, light statements like that. That that's a big statement is all for me. I'm like, Yo, Perth is about to be off the wall.

Bryan Gibson: 7:21

Yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 7:22

Perth is going to be off the wall will what they do when we

Bryan Gibson: 7:23

Perth

Gary Mariner II: 7:24

get to.

Bryan Gibson: 7:25

is going to be I'm sorry to cut you real quick, but Perth

Gary Mariner II: 7:26

Now you

Bryan Gibson: 7:27

is

Gary Mariner II: 7:28

get.

Bryan Gibson: 7:29

going to be Perth is going to be is like that old school door where you see the way the waiters go in and come out. So you kind of got to make that call. Hey, come coming out. Going in. You know what I mean? You know why?

Gary Mariner II: 7:30

When

Bryan Gibson: 7:31

Because

Gary Mariner II: 7:32

he.

Bryan Gibson: 7:33

there's the old that's still going to go out, because remember, this is a deal set from prior

Gary Mariner II: 7:34

Need.

Bryan Gibson: 7:35

from prior from prior situations, prior people behind the scenes.

Gary Mariner II: 7:36

Yup.

Bryan Gibson: 7:37

Fucking. I'm gonna say his name. This is a Vince move, you

Gary Mariner II: 7:38

Yes.

Bryan Gibson: 7:39

know what I

Gary Mariner II: 7:40

This

Bryan Gibson: 7:41

mean?

Gary Mariner II: 7:42

was a good

Bryan Gibson: 7:43

It

Gary Mariner II: 7:44

move.

Bryan Gibson: 7:45

was. It was a Vince move, you know what I mean? A lot of things was going to go into. There are Vince's time. Now that he's not there, it's still going to have his splash on it.

Gary Mariner II: 7:46

Oh, yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 7:47

But then. But then you see that. So it's going out. But it's also going to be going in

Gary Mariner II: 7:48

Yep.

Bryan Gibson: 7:49

to the new the new regime of H and Paul Triple H live back. We know this is no longer triple H. This is Paul. This is Paul. Triple H, live back. You know, I'm saying so this you say maybe act one. I say it's I say it's the this is what you call the pre-show. It's the

Gary Mariner II: 7:50

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 7:51

pre-show

Gary Mariner II: 7:52

Yeah,

Bryan Gibson: 7:53

mania.

Gary Mariner II: 7:54

exactly.

Bryan Gibson: 7:55

Mania is about to be off the fucking wall.

Gary Mariner II: 7:56

Yeah,

Bryan Gibson: 7:57

Perth

Gary Mariner II: 7:58

absolutely.

Bryan Gibson: 7:59

is going to just give us a taste

Gary Mariner II: 8:00

Yes.

Bryan Gibson: 8:01

because they already committed to it is going to be done. We are not going to see the full potential of what we have going on. Because you saw Alexi and it was stupid when H was just in charge.

Gary Mariner II: 8:02

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 8:03

And then who who took over Michaels, Mr. HBK, The Heartbreak Kid. And it is still stupid. I'm sorry. I still love. And actually, I still love watching the overall and smackdown because they actually are just crazy. They they they doing it right. And now

Gary Mariner II: 8:04

See.

Bryan Gibson: 8:05

that h has the ability to do it right now, we're going to see it again. You

Gary Mariner II: 8:06

The

Bryan Gibson: 8:07

remember

Gary Mariner II: 8:08

Sigismund.

Bryan Gibson: 8:09

that one year with the Survivor series where it was all three brands?

Gary Mariner II: 8:10

Here's

Bryan Gibson: 8:11

We

Gary Mariner II: 8:12

my

Bryan Gibson: 8:13

ain't

Gary Mariner II: 8:14

point.

Bryan Gibson: 8:15

seen that again because H got in show because of Vince was like, Yeah, no, we don't want it

Gary Mariner II: 8:16

Here's

Bryan Gibson: 8:17

But you.

Gary Mariner II: 8:18

my point to go along with what you're saying and to add value to what you're saying. If you're not a real next fan, if you're not really paying attention to the quality that they offer, even so, even more so, they took away a portion of next. That was on a whole nother level. The. The. The the. What's that belt you got? Beat the UK title.

Bryan Gibson: 8:19

The UK.

Gary Mariner II: 8:20

When they took away the UK version of Annex T because Dumbledore's was on another level.

Bryan Gibson: 8:21

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 8:22

It was

Bryan Gibson: 8:23

When

Gary Mariner II: 8:24

on another

Bryan Gibson: 8:25

worlds

Gary Mariner II: 8:26

level.

Bryan Gibson: 8:27

collide. I used

Gary Mariner II: 8:28

What

Bryan Gibson: 8:29

to love watching

Gary Mariner II: 8:30

your

Bryan Gibson: 8:31

worlds collide.

Gary Mariner II: 8:32

what worlds collide was that that was stupid. But they got hardcore fans mad next in the same way that it used to be when we used to have boys war and people used to go nuts over that. Now, the only thing that's different between Monday night Raw Smackdown and next t is the fact that they haven't been able to sell out big areas where they're next on a regular weekly schedule. But we're almost there because the pop is way too big to shut out. So my main swerve.

Bryan Gibson: 8:33

Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 8:34

You don't have people with the type of talent that they have next and then keep putting them in these small work environments. You got to keep blowing it up. But we're right there before the pop goes crazy. And what's the best way for Shawn Michaels to prove that? WrestleMania.

Bryan Gibson: 8:35

Oh, yeah.

Gary Mariner II: 8:36

Because WrestleMania

Bryan Gibson: 8:37

We're gonna have to see

Gary Mariner II: 8:38

is

Bryan Gibson: 8:39

something.

Gary Mariner II: 8:40

the that's the point where you go, you're going to have to show me something. You want to show me something big, and they go and go balls to the wall, like you said.

Bryan Gibson: 8:41

Well. Well, you know what's going to happen this year? This year it's going to be a wash. And he already has stand and deliver. Philadelphia Standard Deliver said that Saturday, right on the set, the afternoon of WrestleMania night one. But what I can see happening for Mania next year is that we're not going to have a stand to deliver. We're going to see Alexi in WrestleMania. It's going to happen. They're

Gary Mariner II: 8:42

We're

Bryan Gibson: 8:43

going to have

Gary Mariner II: 8:44

going

Bryan Gibson: 8:45

to

Gary Mariner II: 8:46

to get very

Bryan Gibson: 8:47

see

Gary Mariner II: 8:48

nice.

Bryan Gibson: 8:49

it as this WrestleMania

Gary Mariner II: 8:50

We're

Bryan Gibson: 8:51

because

Gary Mariner II: 8:52

going

Bryan Gibson: 8:53

it

Gary Mariner II: 8:54

to get

Bryan Gibson: 8:55

is

Gary Mariner II: 8:56

three

Bryan Gibson: 8:57

WrestleMania.

Gary Mariner II: 8:58

nights. We're going to get three

Bryan Gibson: 8:59

I

Gary Mariner II: 9:00

nights.

Bryan Gibson: 9:01

don't know. I would. I'm not. We already have three nights because there's. Well, we have four nights. It's already four nights. We

Gary Mariner II: 9:02

This

Bryan Gibson: 9:03

have Smackdown.

Gary Mariner II: 9:04

morning,

Bryan Gibson: 9:05

We

Gary Mariner II: 9:06

but

Bryan Gibson: 9:07

have

Gary Mariner II: 9:08

not

Bryan Gibson: 9:09

Smackdown.

Gary Mariner II: 9:10

the.

Bryan Gibson: 9:11

We have night one night two. And then we have Monday night raw. We don't need anything more than that. But right now, they're flooding

Gary Mariner II: 9:12

You're right. You're right.

Bryan Gibson: 9:13

their flood, their flooding mania with too many storylines that sometimes, like, remember last year who really needed En and Brock did.

Gary Mariner II: 9:14

That's

Bryan Gibson: 9:15

I

Gary Mariner II: 9:16

true.

Bryan Gibson: 9:17

don't I don't think we needed that. That could have been a very good. NFC championship match.

Gary Mariner II: 9:18

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 9:19

Any champion. I don't care which one you chose.

Gary Mariner II: 9:20

Right.

Bryan Gibson: 9:21

It could have been any one of them because they would have put on and it would have been more exciting than Omar versus Brock. Is it? I'm saying that's still so disappointing

Gary Mariner II: 9:22

It

Bryan Gibson: 9:23

and

Gary Mariner II: 9:24

was it

Bryan Gibson: 9:25

I'm

Gary Mariner II: 9:26

was very

Bryan Gibson: 9:27

glad

Gary Mariner II: 9:28

disappointing.

Bryan Gibson: 9:29

they got rid of this Andre the Giant Battle Royal. Get rid

Gary Mariner II: 9:30

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 9:31

of that. They

Gary Mariner II: 9:32

Yeah,

Bryan Gibson: 9:33

don't

Gary Mariner II: 9:34

that

Bryan Gibson: 9:35

need

Gary Mariner II: 9:36

was nothing.

Bryan Gibson: 9:37

you.

Gary Mariner II: 9:38

Those.

Bryan Gibson: 9:39

This is how you replace money in the bank. Romania. Come on.

Gary Mariner II: 9:40

Now. Come on, give it up.

Bryan Gibson: 9:41

Let's let's do something better. So by next year, we will see Alexi. In a email, we will see Alexi in WrestleMania. We're

Gary Mariner II: 9:42

I'm

Bryan Gibson: 9:43

not

Gary Mariner II: 9:44

sorry.

Bryan Gibson: 9:45

going to need a stand

Gary Mariner II: 9:46

I'm

Bryan Gibson: 9:47

to deliver.

Gary Mariner II: 9:48

sorry. Quick, quick. Commercial break. Shout out to the Hardy Boys.

Bryan Gibson: 9:49

Okay. What's going on?

Gary Mariner II: 9:50

Now you mentioned money in the bank. Shout out to the Hardy Boys for the take for the TLC.

Bryan Gibson: 9:51

Oh, for sure.

Gary Mariner II: 9:52

Just because.

Bryan Gibson: 9:53

Sure.

Gary Mariner II: 9:54

Just because.

Bryan Gibson: 9:55

Well, then we go then, if we're going to do that agent question and

Gary Mariner II: 9:56

No.

Bryan Gibson: 9:57

the dudleys because they're the ones that you know.

Gary Mariner II: 9:58

Yeah, yeah,

Bryan Gibson: 9:59

Come on, now.

Gary Mariner II: 10:00

yeah, yeah. And

Bryan Gibson: 10:01

Come on,

Gary Mariner II: 10:02

I

Bryan Gibson: 10:03

now.

Gary Mariner II: 10:04

mean, you know, just to think about to think about

Bryan Gibson: 10:05

Don't

Gary Mariner II: 10:06

money

Bryan Gibson: 10:07

look.

Gary Mariner II: 10:08

to make.

Bryan Gibson: 10:09

We're going to save the matches for another one, man.

Gary Mariner II: 10:10

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 10:11

We

Gary Mariner II: 10:12

I mean,

Bryan Gibson: 10:13

won't

Gary Mariner II: 10:14

we

Bryan Gibson: 10:15

do

Gary Mariner II: 10:16

we

Bryan Gibson: 10:17

a throwback

Gary Mariner II: 10:18

have.

Bryan Gibson: 10:19

session on those. Because that goes way back. Because. Because. Because. Then shout out to the bad guy and the heartbreak kid. Come on.

Gary Mariner II: 10:20

Go

Bryan Gibson: 10:21

But don't get me started. Don't get me

Gary Mariner II: 10:22

look

Bryan Gibson: 10:23

started. All right?

Gary Mariner II: 10:24

at.

Bryan Gibson: 10:25

Actually, if we're going to go old school, I have somebody in mind that we need to get involved in this. So

Gary Mariner II: 10:26

Well

Bryan Gibson: 10:27

we we're not going to do that right now.

Gary Mariner II: 10:28

yeah we

Bryan Gibson: 10:29

We're not

Gary Mariner II: 10:30

got,

Bryan Gibson: 10:31

going to

Gary Mariner II: 10:32

Gary Mariner II: 10:34

This is a regular conversation between us at any given time, and we just sharing what we do with each other. This is not the regular set up that you're used to with a normal podcast, wrestling podcast. Maybe there is somebody else out there doing it. This is literally the conversations that we get and in the rabbit hole we go down. So pardon

Gary Mariner II: 10:50

Monday

Bryan Gibson: 10:51

Gary Mariner II: 10:52

Yeah. Right now you're getting I this is the first episode. This is you really getting to see how we go back and forth and how our brains pop off of each other. And I mean, at the same time, we just finished watching Monday Night Raw, so we're a little bit amped. We're watching what they're doing, you know, saying but you know, moving forward, we're going to have ourselves situated, we're going to get it real polished up, whatever. But, um, going back to Monday night Raw. Shout out to Shinsuke Nakamura. I love what you're doing with the enemy, bro. Keep that shit going.

Bryan Gibson: 11:17

You know, amazing.

Gary Mariner II: 11:18

You're killing that.

Bryan Gibson: 11:19

Amazing. He's

Gary Mariner II: 11:20

Whoever

Bryan Gibson: 11:21

debuting.

Gary Mariner II: 11:22

decided

Bryan Gibson: 11:23

He's

Gary Mariner II: 11:24

to cosign

Bryan Gibson: 11:25

doing that.

Gary Mariner II: 11:26

on that, somebody needs to get that man a pay raise because that was that was awesome. That whole back and forth between him and Cody and how he flipped that around and turned that into a whole anime cartoon that was heart, horror body,

Bryan Gibson: 12:15

We

Gary Mariner II: 12:16

with

Bryan Gibson: 12:17

we

Gary Mariner II: 12:18

the crew

Bryan Gibson: 12:19

need to.

Gary Mariner II: 12:20

man in New Day.

Bryan Gibson: 12:21

That's the there's so much going on right now. And as we say, we're just hype right now. There's a lot going on.

Gary Mariner II: 12:22

Oh, yes.

Bryan Gibson: 12:23

We're

Gary Mariner II: 12:24

Sorry,

Bryan Gibson: 12:25

kind of

Gary Mariner II: 12:26

sorry,

Bryan Gibson: 12:27

all over

Gary Mariner II: 12:28

sorry,

Bryan Gibson: 12:29

the place.

Gary Mariner II: 12:30

sorry. Because I mentioned them. You'll need new day. Take the fucking titles. Gbagbo.

Bryan Gibson: 12:31

Well, hold on. You want to talk about titles? Let's switch gears for a moment. I think we got a few more minutes. Yeah, I

Gary Mariner II: 12:32

They

Bryan Gibson: 12:33

think

Gary Mariner II: 12:34

would

Bryan Gibson: 12:35

we

Gary Mariner II: 12:36

take

Bryan Gibson: 12:37

can give

Gary Mariner II: 12:38

the titles.

Bryan Gibson: 12:39

it a few more minutes

Gary Mariner II: 12:40

Black New Day.

Bryan Gibson: 12:41

because we're

Gary Mariner II: 12:42

Y'all

Bryan Gibson: 12:43

going to have

Gary Mariner II: 12:44

just

Bryan Gibson: 12:45

to

Gary Mariner II: 12:46

know

Bryan Gibson: 12:47

we're definitely

Gary Mariner II: 12:48

that.

Bryan Gibson: 12:49

the story is not over, so we're going to come back to Cody enrollment and whatnot.

Gary Mariner II: 12:50

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 12:51

But there is speculation and things circulating that they are going to separate the undisputed titles, the undisputed tag team titles, which

Gary Mariner II: 12:52

You.

Bryan Gibson: 12:53

as they should

Gary Mariner II: 12:54

Yeah. Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 12:55

And and I believe, you know, it's going to be interesting. We don't have the Russos right now. So who else could it be? I mean,

Gary Mariner II: 12:56

As I'm saying.

Bryan Gibson: 12:57

Judgment Day is doing this thing. But we I think it was I think I read something today that is less than a less than 120 days, 125 days or less, from four I'll just say 150. I feel more comfortable with 150 days or less for four. Damian Priest to go ahead and cash in is money in the bank. Once he becomes dead, he's not going to need to tag titles. So I see if you see they put in JB and Dom together a lot. So I see them being tag champs, right? Why not? Then who else are we going to have to carry? We have some good teams. We've got we have we have Imperium. We have New

Gary Mariner II: 12:58

Yup.

Bryan Gibson: 12:59

Day. I see there's going to be a tag. I see there's going to be a tournament and I truly feel like the final two and they can go either way will be new dame appearing on.

Gary Mariner II: 13:00

I agree with

Bryan Gibson: 13:01

Because

Gary Mariner II: 13:02

that.

Bryan Gibson: 13:03

that right now, right now, that is a hot field,

Gary Mariner II: 13:04

Yo, Dad.

Bryan Gibson: 13:05

a blazing

Gary Mariner II: 13:06

What?

Bryan Gibson: 13:07

hot.

Gary Mariner II: 13:08

What happened between Imperium and New Day? You know, I swear to God, it was coming out each other's kids. Or they were trying to hurt each

Bryan Gibson: 13:09

Oh,

Gary Mariner II: 13:10

other,

Bryan Gibson: 13:11

my

Gary Mariner II: 13:12

man.

Bryan Gibson: 13:13

gosh. You know, listen, I listen, there's not many times that you get, you know, people people throw the F word around the four letter F word around when it comes to wrestling. But I can tell you right now, at that moment, I was worried like, look, that don't look scripted. That didn't look like part of the plan when when Kofi's head got kicked into the stairs, that

Gary Mariner II: 13:14

You know

Bryan Gibson: 13:15

looked personal,

Gary Mariner II: 13:16

that look super

Bryan Gibson: 13:17

that

Gary Mariner II: 13:18

personal.

Bryan Gibson: 13:19

look like that look

Gary Mariner II: 13:20

He

Bryan Gibson: 13:21

like

Gary Mariner II: 13:22

meant that.

Bryan Gibson: 13:23

fuck your

Gary Mariner II: 13:24

He

Bryan Gibson: 13:25

life

Gary Mariner II: 13:26

meant role in that.

Bryan Gibson: 13:27

and you're not coming back for the next two weeks

Gary Mariner II: 13:28

Yup.

Bryan Gibson: 13:29

like.

Gary Mariner II: 13:30

You.

Bryan Gibson: 13:31

So but it's interesting because, you know, there's people out there that don't like each other but still know how to work. I mean, hell, go and see him, Batista. They like each other, but they still find a way to work. You

Gary Mariner II: 13:32

And

Bryan Gibson: 13:33

know what I mean?

Gary Mariner II: 13:34

men and

Bryan Gibson: 13:35

It's

Gary Mariner II: 13:36

women.

Bryan Gibson: 13:37

hap. It's happened for a very long time that way. So, I mean, look at triple H in punk back in 2000 and with the what was it, 11 when when when it was the year of punk. So, you know, they didn't like each other, but they still work together. They still do what they had to do. People, this happens all the time. So the best story right now as far as a tag team division, if you are going to go to separate the belts, one of the teams that have to be it's going to come down to Imperium and and New Day. I'm sorry, because we don't have the USOs unless they find a way to bring the USOs back. They need something that Jay comes back to, to be partner, to be the right hand man or something like that. I don't know. But we we need that. We we need. I'm all for the tag titles separating again.

Gary Mariner II: 13:38

Yeah.

Bryan Gibson: 13:39

All for it. Because I'm getting tired of it being combined. That's done. That's

Gary Mariner II: 13:40

We

Bryan Gibson: 13:41

done.

Gary Mariner II: 13:42

got we got too much talent on all three shows for it to be combined like that.

Bryan Gibson: 13:43

Too much. Too much because I needed to. I need it where we can get back to one of the you know, you know, you know us as wrestling fans. We don't do summer, winter, fall and spring. We don't do there is Rumble Mania SummerSlam Survivor series. So now when it comes down to Survivor series, we need three separate tag teams

Gary Mariner II: 13:44

Yep.

Bryan Gibson: 13:45

to go at it. We need that. We need the next season versus the raws versus the sit downs,

Gary Mariner II: 13:46

Yes.

Bryan Gibson: 13:47

you know, the WWE tag titles and the World Tag Team champions. We need that.

Gary Mariner II: 13:48

Champ versus

Bryan Gibson: 13:49

We need

Gary Mariner II: 13:50

team.

Bryan Gibson: 13:51

that right, champ versus chair.

Gary Mariner II: 13:52

Night

Bryan Gibson: 13:53

Even

Gary Mariner II: 13:54

of Champions.

Bryan Gibson: 13:55

if you don't want to do it, I want to say if you don't want to wait until you do it. Night of Champions. You remember back in the day, all the champions faced each other.

Gary Mariner II: 13:56

Yup.

Bryan Gibson: 13:57

It was whoever it was. Remember what war was? I think we had it where they. They voted for which belt is on the line.

Gary Mariner II: 13:58

Mm.

Bryan Gibson: 13:59

When we had when we had, it was the world. Heavy, heavy weight and the WWE title. And somebody else was facing each other. And it was a triple threat. And Booker T. Booker T said it was on the line. You know what I mean? Like, you have to mix it back up again.

Gary Mariner II: 14:00

Let's

Bryan Gibson: 14:01

Let's

Gary Mariner II: 14:02

see

Bryan Gibson: 14:03

get

Gary Mariner II: 14:04

who's

Bryan Gibson: 14:05

back

Gary Mariner II: 14:06

going

Bryan Gibson: 14:07

to.

Gary Mariner II: 14:08

to have bragging rights after the night's over, because

Bryan Gibson: 14:09

Right.

Gary Mariner II: 14:10

you go back

Bryan Gibson: 14:11

Oh,

Gary Mariner II: 14:12

to

Bryan Gibson: 14:13

God,

Gary Mariner II: 14:14

your

Bryan Gibson: 14:15

please

Gary Mariner II: 14:16

show.

Bryan Gibson: 14:17

don't say bragging rights that should devastate trash. Was trashed

Gary Mariner II: 14:18

Not

Bryan Gibson: 14:19

every

Gary Mariner II: 14:20

that

Bryan Gibson: 14:21

time

Gary Mariner II: 14:22

that

Bryan Gibson: 14:23

it was time

Gary Mariner II: 14:24

was just

Bryan Gibson: 14:25

to buy

Gary Mariner II: 14:26

that.

Bryan Gibson: 14:27

soda.

Gary Mariner II: 14:28

But at the same time, it's like for for you to be able to go back. Well, let's just say that Rowan, you know, comes out of a night like that and he stole a chair or his belt was on the line and he won. Now he's going to go back over to Smackdown to be like I told you, Jeff is a bitch.

Bryan Gibson: 14:29

Right. Something, right.

Gary Mariner II: 14:30

Something.

Bryan Gibson: 14:31

That's if we don't go with that whole shield angle.

Gary Mariner II: 14:32

Exactly.

Bryan Gibson: 14:33

Right.

Gary Mariner II: 14:34

Exactly. So it's like, you know, we we meet. But you know what? We're going to we're going to wrap this up because we can go on for our 2 hours. This not matter. But I must say this.

Bryan Gibson: 14:35

Absolutely.

Gary Mariner II: 14:36

I was on the set of heels and I met this gentleman by the name of Lew Cox, who and I'm only saying this because it's fun to go back to your your whole four letter F word that everybody likes to throw on wrestling. Right? For all you people who like to say wrestling is fake, Madalyn Cox said. When you go to work to somebody, it's your job that you hate. You still got to work with them, but you don't like them. The only difference in my job is I get to beat your ass.

Bryan Gibson: 14:37

Uh

Gary Mariner II: 14:38

And I

Bryan Gibson: 14:39

huh.

Gary Mariner II: 14:40

get paid for it.

Bryan Gibson: 14:41

Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh.

Gary Mariner II: 14:42

He's like, so. So you could talk all you want to, but get in the ring and do my job. Deal with the broken bones and torn muscles. And not being able to see your family do all of that and then say something. Until then, shut your mouth. Know your role and shut your mouth.

Bryan Gibson: 14:43

I'm going to say this. And in addition to that, anybody that wants to say that it's fake. I dare you. If 2020 to hell in a cell, Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins.

Gary Mariner II: 14:44

Yo.

Bryan Gibson: 14:45

Please go watch that match. You don't even need to watch the whole match. Just watch the beginning of the match.

Gary Mariner II: 14:46

Watch him walk

Bryan Gibson: 14:47

And if you

Gary Mariner II: 14:48

out and take

Bryan Gibson: 14:49

and

Gary Mariner II: 14:50

off his jacket.

Bryan Gibson: 14:51

and if you can sit there and still say, faith, I'll sit. That's fine. Go ahead. But there's nothing fake about that at all. If you don't have a new respect for it, then I don't know what to tell you.

Gary Mariner II: 14:52

And that man is still wrestling today.

Bryan Gibson: 14:53

He got a phone call Pop

Gary Mariner II: 14:54

Looks like Kobold broke.

Bryan Gibson: 14:55

about to come out already preordered it. That's

Gary Mariner II: 14:56

It's

Bryan Gibson: 14:57

part of history.

Gary Mariner II: 14:58

like a mob rule. They

Bryan Gibson: 14:59

But

Gary Mariner II: 15:00

get out of you with all that garbage.

Bryan Gibson: 15:01

but as as you said, man, we should go ahead and wrap this up, because we've already kind of been all over the place. Listen, we we we're going to we're going to do this on a regular y'all. And if you like it, great. We would love to. We love this, you know, get your opinions in whatever sub. See what you like and what you don't like, what you want to talk about.
