Hey, buddy. Welcome to Beyond the Bell. I'm Andrew's here. And of course, I'm joined by Rich Stambolian. What's going on, Rick? Good morning. We're back. We're back. We took a month off. Oh, yeah, summer vacation Rejuvenate. Did you do anything fun? We party we party a lot. Oh my god. We did we part a whole lot and they're still partying to happen Yeah, yachts. We went to Miami a lot of yach rotty yach rockin a lot of yach rockin a lot of face-timing mr. Ganso our producer. That's not allowed to speak on the air because he's contractually blocked From participating in the show the show's all about professional Wrestling great call a lot of good stuff in the last month, man. We missed that a lot. I was traveling I am I'm traveling again at the end of August, but my wife and I went to Jamaica For a week very relaxing. I really wish we came back with Rose Oh, I really wanted to my hair wasn't long enough and I didn't have the ladies on the beach showing up this time This was a very secluded and private area. Yeah. Yeah, nobody was allowed except for the guy that was selling cocaine Okay in the boat in the in the in the shells. Oh, yeah, there you were telling me about that guys apparently allowed But nothing else is allowed there No, man. It was it was a nice. It was a nice little break But a lot happened in the world of professional wrestling. We're on our way to summer slam This card on paper looks fantastic. Yeah, okay execution who the hell knows we got to watch it, but yeah I was comparing it with mg on Observer Live on Sunday To last year's card in Detroit. He was at the one in Detroit so it was Suncast or other producer. Yeah, and It was not a great card On paper now. I don't remember the show. I don't remember how I felt at that moment Uh, did we do something three hang out? Did we party too hard? Maybe I don't know maybe it's summer slam. So maybe yeah, but My daughter was sick. Yes. My daughter was sick then so we didn't do anything. Yeah That was it that was a crazy month dude. That was a wild month, but I On paper this looks fantastic this show you want to quickly go through it. Well, let's go Let's go through raw because we're all set up a ton of this right and You know raw was a bunch of great segments and a bunch of matches that was whatever That's how I saw it. Yes night. I don't know if you guys if you felt that way I don't know if the audience felt that way. I'd love to know listen. We're participating with you guys tonight Yeah, or this morning. It's nighttime somewhere somewhere somewhere sometimes it was it was a you know Promos to build and a bunch of nothing matches decent Decent go home decent ish go home. It was fine. It was fine It was a great segment with with the Wyatt six. Yes a spooky a lot of spooky But they took the masks off. So thank God. They're not rustling in those ridiculous. Yeah, well, they're gigantic Yeah, you want to go into the show? Yeah, so Rollins comes out dressed like the Statue of Liberty and so he dressed up like the Statue of Liberty As a referee gives his referee instructions to see him punkin Drew McIntyre They he just wants them to listen to him May or may not enforce countdowns or DQ's But he made it clear he was in charge so that kind of adds an interesting element to it You know, so like they're basically wrestling at the whim of Seth Rollins this weekend And him you see it coming, right? Oh, yeah, we all see what's gonna happen. They're gonna view the Shawn Michaels undertaker breadhardt spot Because one is a Shawn Michaels guy one's a breadheart guy and you know Drew, you know, he's tall he's gonna do any has the hair So the question would be because see I'm punkin that promo goes so many says I don't want your help, right? Right and I thought it was ridiculous because Seth Rollins comes out He does his whole thing goes bring these two idiots out bring these morons out here. I'm like, I Guess he's the face, but nobody likes anybody I think none of them like each other. I do feel like Seth is gonna go full heel Okay, so he swings and he hits Drew and he ends up helping punk win. Mm-hmm after punk said I don't want your help. Yeah, he's not how they do it and Drew's whole thing is look You need two people to beat me, right? I think that makes sense or does he swing and miss it hit punk. I Do we need Seth Rollins vs. Punk? Yeah, it's gonna happen. That was that was a match. That was a match for WrestleMania It's very interesting. I think they're gonna do a three-way first You think they'll do it. Well, yeah, they would have if it's a swing and a miss on on Drew then I would say yes Yeah, three way Definitely shenanigans dude great stuff that promo that that that promo was great You know they brought up the line where during an interview Seth Rollins prior When Sam Punk was kind of leaving a w would he was still there, you know, he said we don't need him. I don't like him Yeah, and they brought that up in the promo very good fantastic stuff very good stuff. I think I think Seth was playing the long time The whole time now and yeah, I don't know man You know, I I love the the in between where you don't know if they're working like you don't know their personal feelings We don't know their personal feelings. Yes. I Think a lot of people were WWE brainwashed yeah, obviously over the last decade or so where this man is the big bad boogeyman We don't need him. We don't want him. Mm-hmm. He's only gonna do bad to you He's having a time of his life right now. I mean, he hasn't really wrestled. No I want him. I kind of don't want him to wrestle. I don't want this guy getting hurt I mean, I saw him wrestle at that how showed the garden. It was his second match back I want him to wrestle by proxy just just staying around and do like one thing and that's it And we yeah, just like kind of like, you know how like the legends used to do like the Steve Austin run when he was a general manager Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it This was good. I thought this was a really good segment. I really enjoyed it Judgment date finds a clubhouse trashed everybody's assuming it was Liv Morgan Mm-hmm parlido said that the ps5 is broken That's not cool. That's not cool. Creed brothers defeated Akira tazawa and Otis after Chad Gable tried to beat down Otis again Only to summon the Wyatt six. Yeah, what you know, there's poor man. They shot him in the head He resurrected him. Uh-huh. Who knows who he is. They never addressed that No, no, no, I think what happened. They did the makeup too good. Yeah, it looked it did look like they shot him Which is yeah, it did bizarre. Yeah, no question about it You know Rowan comes out Joe Gacy and Dexter Loomis. They all unmasked, which you know, you were saying thank God They're not gonna wrestle in those big masks. Oh, thank God Loomis has a new look and Gable, you know, he gets out of there. Oh Yeah, Loomis's look is did you see that? Yeah, wacky. Yeah, he has a big long hair That's that's what I should have come back with from Jamaica big long hair big blonde hair long Corneral rated hair. I think you'd look good blonde like like Like a bleach blonde bleach black and like a Ric Flair blonde. Yeah, yeah, like with the dark eyebrows I just have to look ridiculous. Just the Joe Henry, but yeah, just the hair just the hair and not the beard No, no, no the beard has this day, but I do you know, but Put some yellow in the put some yellow here Start huffing and puffing. What are you doing? Midlife crisis Andrew. Hey, it's happening dude. I almost bought the Corvette for my birthday And I and I finally convinced myself not to at the end. What's gonna be the big purchase? Dude the middle ages kicking in I think and I need an SUV for the kids. Oh, yeah, you know No sports car this time get a big ass escalate. Oh, no, I was looking at the the GX the Lexus. Oh, yeah, the land cruiser. There you go Bronson Reed defeated Sheamus Pete Dunn hit she was with the what's it called a cholalia lately? Jey Uso defeats Carlito Karen Cross defeated Xavier Woods Karen Cross is another spooky guy. Yo, uh, Karen Cross is another spooky guy. They're the satanics. They're the satanics. What do we say? They just say tanics. Uh-huh. The other ones are the spookies. Yeah, and then you have uh, you have like the cool And then what and then judgement they don't like the cool goths. Yeah, they're like the cool goths a lot of spooky happening I you know, I don't mind spooky in wrestling. Yeah live burned Dominic merch Okay, I promise he's to end her revenge tour at SummerSlam. I treated Dominic Mysterio like a man But he's just Rhea Ripley's little bitch. Oh Great, you know, they turned this fit I think people were gonna be into this few because live was like people always champion live. Yeah, absolutely You know, like people want to see her do well. So when she started the feud with Rhea and Rhea got hurt It really people are like, well, man. What does that do to the program? Right? They've done amazing They figured out with between CM Punk and live and Rhea Ripley How to properly build a feud even if you have someone hurt. I agree with that a hundred percent and also Raw and SmackDown have been consistent since you know who got the boot Yeah, it's been it's been consistently SmackDown more. Yeah, I would say SmackDown more over the last year, but Raw has really Rejuvenated itself. Oh, yeah, it's gotten better. It's gotten much better. My biggest problem with Raw still is the three hours Isn't that wild? It's it's it's hard, man. It's really hard especially listen. I think it's also an age thing I'm gonna I'm gonna put that into play. I'm 40 years old now. Mm-hmm. If I was 20 would I be complaining as much for three hours? It's still ending at 11. It's not ending any later than it ever did. No, I know that But I feel like you you had a tight you always had a tighter show. When did they go to the When did they go to three hours? over a decade ago where they Longer it have they been longer at three hours and they have been at two hours at this point. No Because we're all started 94 right 93 93. Uh, 2012. So 12 years. Wow. Yeah, 12 years. They've been three hours It was episode 1000 Listen, I'm making a ton of money. They're never gonna go back now them now. They're saying we don't even know when the show will end on Netflix It could be three hours. It could be two and a half. It could be two fifteen. It could be four There's like eight hours like a Dave Chappelle special That's wild same he's ain't defeated down in week's theory We're just disqualification judgment David interfere and beat down Sammy in the confusion run breaker attack Sammy great That's a good setup. Yo, I I brahm breaker needs to win that title. He's I think at this at this point I think I want I want him. Okay Like we know that the title belts are like it's like the ring, right? Yeah, it turns into the Gollum like Brian Danielson. You know what this is the first time They do like Brian Danielson starts hunching over every time like he's going for a title. I like that mm-hmm I think for brahm breaker. He just gets more and more like a Steiner. Oh, yeah He just starts getting wackier and wackier. He's up. He's huffing and puffing. He's barking You think he comes out with a mesh on? God, I hope I hope I would love the mesh and but also the the wrestling helmet Do all of them on top of the on top of the singlets. Yeah, just all the gimmicks Just all of it. Mmm. Yeah, I'm into it. Good stuff. Well, yeah by Sammy and the and brahm breaker They played another wide six video featuring Dexter Lumis. These like little interviews are pretty good So I need to build Chana Baysler and Zoe Stark defeated Lyra Valcuria, Kaden Carter and Katana Chance Damage control came out And they would fight off Sony's trio. So it looks like we're gonna get like damage control versus Sony's people Did you see Shayna Baysler a blood sport? No, I didn't. Did you know it was in Brooklyn? No, I did not I did not either bad. How do I that that is terrible with me? Listen, it's been a long month I took off. Yeah, yeah, I I did not I Should not have I you know what rightfully so I should not have been on top of things the way I should have been You know what I mean? I should not have been on top of things the norm like hi. I how I am normally cuz I took off for the month You were no, yeah, you're giving yourself the grace of not yeah being on top of things But if I had followed this I would have we were to come to that show. Oh, yeah for sure that blood sport show looked fantastic I mean, I caught it later, but when we had Saturday Saturday. Yeah, no, we were busy on Saturday. Oh Sunday I'm sorry Sunday. We were very busy on Saturday. I was pretty rock we had a huge party at my house It was nuts. Yeah, it was awesome. Yeah Goonter defeated Finn Balor That's how we're saying his name. Yep, Finn Balor Finn Balor Goonter won the match with a sleeper hold and did not relinquish it Freeze came out to make the save beat Gunther all over the ringside area to close the show I'm pumped for summer slam. Yeah, so am I next week? The debut of the Y at six dr. Loomis Joe Gacy and Eric Rowan versus Chad Gable and the Creed brothers Yep, Dakota Kai versus Sonia de Vil You want to go into summer slam? Let's do it. So Like you said we open the show by saying this is a great card on paper and it really is what a fantastic card CM Punk Drew McIntyre special guest referee Seth Rollins who takes it? You know, is this the match of the night? Let me let me ask that it has to be right? Not the mean it's not the main event obviously, but it is match of the night Depending on how the match goes Cody and solo man. I feel like it's either it's one of them. It's either one Yeah, this whole card looks great. Uh, you know, I I don't know who should take this. I I think the best thing would be Seth clobbers drew with the chair reminiscent of Sean that that that that match where Brett was a special guest referee Mrs. Hit some No, no, Sean was a special guest referee. I'm sorry. Mrs. Hits. Uh, Drew Punk gets the win regrudging, regrudgingly regrudgingly Then they build whatever they're gonna go into I'm gonna go there. Everybody looks good that way. I Think that there's gonna be shenanigans and I can't lose really should he lose his first real match back He's not at a singles match on TV Uh, he had two house show matches one at one in LA and one in New York and then he had Royal Rumble I like your I like your statement at the top of the show where you said It drew gets pinned but he goes it take it took two of you to beat me. It took two of you to beat me I think It's shenanigans happen. I'm gonna say punk gets the win and it sets up for a three-way somewhere down the line Yeah Or it's it could be the opposite right and that could be the same exact story. He misses He hits punk punk loses. You know what that he really lose not really and he says it took both of you to beat me You're in cahoots. This is a conspiracy. I do think Seth is gonna turn Turning here. We're gonna get like bad boy Seth Ron. He's so much better as a heel is but I There's so many different ways you could go here either way Seth has to screw somebody. Yes Either on purpose or by accident either on purpose or by accident I think if you play in the the accident part, it adds so much more to the story. Yeah Just very much like it. All right. What up. I see title Ron breaker Sammy Zane. Give it to Brian It has to be bronze moment. There is momentum there. Yeah, absolutely. There's a tremendous amount of momentum there with him Sometimes people just freakin have it, you know, and it's interesting to see that he is very explosive Very explosive and there's so many other people that that kind of have his gimmick. Mm-hmm, but not him not not as explosive Not in his way. Yeah the intensity is there. Yeah in college athlete. I love that while we're doing this little little behind-the-scenes notes Our producer in our in our note format is on the fly Real-time giving us the weather update for summer slam It's gonna be 81 degrees 50% chance of rain scattered thunder showers throughout the afternoon Thunder showers. What's the bare match is the barometric pressure dropping or rising? I Need to know about that. Please find that right now in attitude notes. How could you call yourself a weather expert? Yeah, I thought you were a meteorologist. Yeah, that's what he's been. No, no, no. He's just from a meteor. Oh, that's what it Yeah, he's just from a meteor. He appeared via meteor. Yeah. Yeah, he's like alph Save you cats and if you leave them. Yeah, dude He is from Mel meck. He's from Mel meck. We have the u.s. Championship. I'm looking forward to this match. Yeah, Paul. Yes, LA night LA night yes at this point. It's time for him. LA night takes it. I speak about this all the time You know, I was at that house show in January December. Yeah Yeah, it was December-ish of 2023 at the garden. He was supposed to maybe it was January 2020 for February Whatever it was he was supposed to whatever the match was it was supposed to be him and Bray Right in that if they were gonna do another lights out match garden and you know, Bray wasn't well So he wasn't on the show When he just came out to do nothing. Mm-hmm that building filled with kids eight nine ten eleven-year-old boys Going berserk for him. That was the beginning and every time I've gone to a show He is barely rustled. He's only shown up and peeked his head in every time I'm at the garden and the crowd explodes He gets the biggest reaction now is time You know, you've waited almost a year to do something. Yeah, now you got to do it Logan Paul where does he go from here? I don't know he could go anywhere. It doesn't need a title I think he gets elevated and he starts feuding with Cody the Damien Priest. Oh Him and Damien. Okay, you could do that. Yeah, why not? Okay, no, but you could flip them. You could do whatever, right? I know I know it's it's yeah, but but it doesn't matter He could go away for a little bit and come back and challenge for something else come back You think they'll put the world title on them. Oh, yeah, you think they'll put that one of them I think they'll put the Damien Priest belt on him Yeah, I could see that at some point either maybe WrestleMania maybe After WrestleMania you could do a lot you could put the IC title on him. You could put that title on him What do you go say NXT? When's the NXT title? Oh, he's never he's never won Money in the Bank, right? No, don't you win Money in the Bank? I think he wins Money in the Bank. That'd be great, too She's in somewhere very talented. I you know outside of the personal issues people have with him. Yes I don't know much about his personal life. I don't follow his show right Just as a as a wrestler Would great heat magnet. Well great heat magnet. Would you be upset as a fan if they put that title on Logan ball? The world title. Yeah Listen, I view things very differently as a fan if I'm a fan I'm gonna say he doesn't deserve it goes on someone that is more deserving that is there every day And that's the workhorse as a business decision. Yeah, hell. Yeah, you do Yeah, as a marketing and business decision, you definitely do it. I think people were lent it on their bad vibes towards a guy Once they saw how talented he is in the ring He got more slack. Yeah. Yeah that that that he got a little bit more slack on that thing Very talented guy LA night for sure. I don't know. I'm going the only night Women's championship Bailey versus Nia Jax. Remember Tiffany Stratton still has the briefcase. Yeah, uh, who do you think takes this? Do you think Tiffany catches in on Bailey? Is it is it a good time for Tiffany to cash in? Because she is starting to get over. Yes, you know, she she's really good But is it too early? I'm gonna say it's a little too early for the cash in you could tease it. I would say it's a little too early. Well, this There was a cash in at summer slime last year. Well technically also if you look at this card, this could be the changing of the guard Uh, brawn breaker getting the ic belt LA night get in the us title. Yeah, let's say tiffany stratton Interesting way to look at it tiffany stratton catches in gets that women's championship live routines, right? That's the next match Okay, so you think live routines. I think live routines with some sort something I think Dom does the full turn on under here I think Dom goes to help ria, but really is helping live. Okay. You know, it does one of those. Yeah Uh, whatever whatever this movement is that I just did Represent Dominic lighting in a chair sliding in something into the ring sliding in a chair sliding in a chair sliding in a briefcase I saw a halliburton. Okay. Yeah and a cell phone Oh my god is the dangerous alliance That could have also been a cookie sheet A cookie sheet or the the lid of a garbage can there you go Yeah, sliding it in or i'm just putting in something in my oven there you go Uh, this is uh, this is gonna be interesting. I do think liver tains you next up you have ww world championship Damon priest versus goonther. Uh, listen if we go by the changing of the guard thing I can see them put that belt on goonther. Goonther has been hot priest is coming off more and more like a babyface Yes, because he's so goddamn likable. Yes. Um, I know I have a couple mutual friends with him. Yes handful of them and they did nothing. I've I don't know I don't know damian, but everybody says what a tremendous person that man is And what a story for him local new york city in the wrestler. Uh, okay You look at his before and afters Oh, when he started wrestling to what he looks like today This is a great example of if you put in the work and you work hard and you're consistently really good You will be rewarded with goonther. Everything you've done goonther is another one. Yeah, okay another great guy Look at him in the beginning of his career. He worked hard Every single step of the way. Yeah Wxw champion didn't really want to come over with his states right uh nxt UK champion finally comes over and he put in so much work that he got rewarded Yeah, you know, everybody knocked gender mohall about this Gender left came back look like a million bucks and he was rewarded. Yeah I love that gender run. I thought it was great because you know what i'm both brother with the only ones we were the only ones I mean, listen, I think now people appreciate like if the chat. Yeah, I mean the chat will probably add to this but uh Can actually said dangerous dominic misteria. I would love them to come out with that ponyman ponytail. Yeah I you know, you look at the guy, you know, like I don't care about work rate. It was a captivating story that foreign menacing heel Comes in shocks the world wins the title No harm. No foul. Yeah worked. Um, listen, you're going with going to a demon Uh, you know, I Here's the thing if there is no cash in on that bailey match, right? I'm going to go with Uh fin costing damey in the title Okay No, you're going to get yeah, see that's the thing did we as might be the end judgment day This is the end of judgment day where you know, um dominic brings in live kicks out ria uh fin Affects the outcome of damey's match. I'm again. I'm fantasy booking. I'm having fun here. I write, right? Um I do know the finish of some of these matches. Nothing. I'm saying is reflecting on that Everything is reflecting on how I personally feel right? Uh, except for the cmpunk drew mac entire match. They have to do that I don't know if they're going to do that. I'm just I'm manifesting that exact finish because I see to my head And I really want to relive that match. Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely The the undertaker and uh breadhard match. So if there's no cash in By tiffany stratton, you're saying damey priest will retain. Yeah, yeah Okay, I think or do you have two shenanigans and judgment day matches? I mean does that matter? Uh, I don't think it matters. I think that would be fun. Um, again, it is summer slam Ah damn and also remember we are booking Vince McMahon's style You can't do this if you do this if you do this you can't do this, you know, we're booking that way I don't everything is so unpredictable now. We're pro wrestling. Yeah, you know, great example that that that's 60 minute match Yeah, right that they had Everybody was convinced it was going to be a draw and people weren't upset about it Right, right, and then they pulled that rug under you. They said no, no, no Yeah Great stuff really good stuff. Uh, i'm going to go in there. You're going to go in there. I'm gonna go in there I'm gonna go damey. I'll flip on that. I'm gonna go in there. All right, uh, cody roads versus solo sekoa again That's there's the danger there Of the changing of the guard and putting the belt on solo Or I don't see that happening but or do we get a big roman reinds spear? I would if you're gonna do it. This is this is a pretty good moment to do it right because that that bloodline story, you know It peaks and valleys, right? We're not in a peak right now We're closer to a valley because it's slowed down a little bit. You're waiting for the next Thing to drop. Yeah, paul haman is a variable. Yes The usos are a variable. Mm-hmm. And of course roman reinds is this when he shows up I think we get the return a roman then uh tremendous stuff We get This is going to be extreme fantasy booking right now You ready? Yeah We get the return a roman. Okay solo wins the belt and the feud is roman saying hey buddy hand the belt to me To your tribal chief here tribal chief, but he's the tribal chief now, right? So do you start that now you get to get to get the but is Cody with the belt like you get that belt off of now? I don't know how they'll do this. Um, I'm very interested to see how they do it. Yeah, because I don't think Cody Cody should not Drop that title. He should drop the title, right? Right. He shouldn't so Cody has to win. Mm-hmm. You include roman in this right, but The disrespect from solo and his crew has been crazy. Right. So does roman turn into a babyface? I don't really want to see that. I want to see roman as what he's been doing So at some point do we get Uh solo tomatanga tomgaloa and jacob fatu versus roman the usos and the rock Well, you know, you have one more one more bloodline member hichelio. Nope, or is that a sammy zane damie? Oh, that's right Yeah, he's the noose. He's an honorary samoan I would i would pop very hard if all of a sudden they announce like the fourth guy and it's it's sammy zane You know what what a great wait, you know, we have we have war games coming up in in november. Yeah that match Okay has to be Bloodline civil war. Yes has to be absolutely has to be you know Sometimes things are handed to this company on a silver platter I agree with that, but sometimes they drop the platter. No, no, no, not sometimes Most of the time. Yeah, most of the time they will drop the platter right on the floor and go I don't know what to do now. I can't put it back together. I don't know what to do with bully club I don't know what to do with broken mad hardy. Yeah, yeah bullet club broken mad hardy Um, i'm gonna go in the vortex It's happening the invasion the invasion there you go. Uh oh the nw o eric bischoff Guys for for those that don't know we've been talking about wrestling for over 10 years on on the on the radio internet waves 2011 and Do not bring up the invasion around a major The corporate ministry who's the higher power higher power. Yeah You know what historically now could it have been anybody else i'm telling you who it should have been Uh, you know who should have been i'll throw a warrior. Yeah, it should have been the ultimate warrior 1997 he sent that contract to him December 97 it was a five-year deal warrior it takes that contract in an alternate universe And we get the higher power talk about huffing and puffing Just losing it Absolutely, and you know how it ends it culminates with hulk hogan returning after wcw closes And that is the last match for warrior great. What a wonderful send-off They can't do it because they deal with maniacs. Yes, everybody's a maniac in that business And sometimes things e-rail I think we would have gotten if that happened we would have gotten a really sick austin ultimate warrior man Ken and our chat room goes I would have paid big money to watch ultimate warren the undertaker sprint Oh, man that stupid heart is covering sprint to the ring. There you go dramatic gosh music. Oh man. Can you imagine? I think listen, I I feel like an austin versus higher power ultimate warrior would have been amazing And it takes five stunners to put him down. I don't I don't care how terrible that match would be I don't care how terrible that man is. I want to see that cartoon character Oh, yeah, that's what i'm talking about Not not Jim helweg the human being the cartoon character imagine those promos between austin and ultimate warrior I can there's no words of co there's no coherent words coming out from both of them from both of them I feel like they both have yeah They're the higher power. What was his uh, what was his workout thing he would talk about? He would do uh 15 I would I would almost say borgenics, but that is not what he was doing 45. I think it was 45 sets of 45 with 15 pound weights No, no, no, no, no. He called it something He called that that like his like mantra of working out something. Okay Somebody has to know yes, somebody's gotta know you ever watch the training videos where he's just yelling at everybody Something edicts it's like something edicts warrior edicts. No, it was it's not that Are you gonna get that jack? I would love to see you that jack. Oh, like ultimate warrior There's not enough human growth hormone that I could put in my body And i'm doing it and i'm doing the human growth hormone. Okay. I'm doing it legally everything legally everything with a prescription You got one of our other producers in honor Yeah, uh jonathan. He's doing trt now dude looks great. It's good.

Uh, sunday morning when I took a shower I did my morning workout. I come back. I take a shower and I'm like, oh, why's my chest so bruised? Yeah, our buddy Kyle that was a wrestler was chopping everybody. Hey, everybody's just a nice lock up Yeah, you missed did you miss the sequence he we were doing? I missed it. I missed it because uh our other producer was having a meltdown And I decided to leave with him and take him to the train. Oh, yeah, he was having a meltdown. Yeah, um Not in a bad way. He was just like he was he was done. He was done. I gotta go. Yeah. So like I uh, you know, it's funny I I said what why don't you go home with matt because they were going the same direction. Yeah and he's like, um Why are you kicking me out and like 20 minutes later? He's like, yeah, I'm dying. Well, because they both got very uh, shall we say? uh, They were both on cloud nine. They were both on cloud nine. Actually, they were on cloud 25 Well, it was described about that person that we were that you're referring to Uh one of them described this person as catnip and it makes it makes him it made him go crazy. Oh interesting. Yeah, okay. Yeah Interesting. So far for summer slam 49,459 tickets distributed Currently the capacity is 55,667. There's 6,200 tickets available. I'm sure obviously just gonna go over 50,000 people. Yeah 81 degrees 50 chance of rain. Scattered chat was in the afternoon and the barometric pressure is dropping Can we get traffic on the ones and we got the traffic on the ones coming up Earl the bell partway is backed up bumper to bumper gridlock alert on the gw 45 minute delay on the upper and 35 minute on the lower So good. Julia announces her last match in marigold will be august 19. She's expected to join wbe right after The next ple is no mercy in september. Can we see her at no mercy? Yeah, why not? She's fantastic. Oh, she's great. Yeah, she's fantastic Uh, this is this is all you andrew by the way. All right, the latest on the wbd media rights I've been quiet Because we're at you know the red zone according to The red zone toning. Yeah, and i'm just gonna list the facts here Tony said a couple weeks ago that they were in the red zone. That is absolutely true. I've spoken to people at wbd um They're very close This week tony. I believe I don't know the timeline for this I was told that tony was going to parris to meet with david zazloff and a couple other wbd people Uh for the olympics. Okay. I was told this a while ago. Yes Sean independently Fightful chon. Yeah, I never spoke to him about this. He also reported the same thing. Yes I don't know the timeline. I don't know if he went. I don't know if he's going. I don't know if he was there for a day I don't know if he's there now. I don't know But I do know that they really want this deal done. Yeah both sides NBA rejected wbd's match for amazon. Now this is going into A legal matter, which they're probably going to get paid something from the mba right because they had first rights What does this mean for a w? I don't think it means anything. I think the a w deal is pretty close to finish I do think this is interesting. Now what elements are required here, right? You have the streaming element for their archives Obviously, we know that's going to be on max because we already have The french version or european. I don't know the european or the french version right Of max with a w content on there that is no It didn't just happen. It wasn't right happenstands that everybody's in paris and now this thing is on there. Yeah, exactly I don't believe that's the case I did find this very interesting When tony bought ring of honor There was a lot of discussions regarding what are you going to do with that product? Is it going to become a developmental brand right right? I had always suggested kill dark and dark elevation Make a w make it a w ring of honor and that is your up-and-coming hard-working Group of guys that are putting on yeah, serenic see it's a developmental is there nxt It's where you could have you know, you showcase people that need more time showcasing replace dark with you know Make that with dark used to be and I thought that's a direction. They were going I heard this many times people had said Um, you know is does the ring of honor brand have any value? I'm not saying this as a wrestling fan. I'm saying this as You know, like someone in tv would look at it and the answer is no it really doesn't have I mean What what do you mean by value? Obviously there is some value, but what do you mean by value? It doesn't really exist. I know that tony was close to a cw deal I don't know what kind of financial deal that would be right but the far more valuable Version of this is having the aew name attached and making it into a show ww He's been doing this with nxt all their branding is ww nxt It's not nxt because it doesn't stand for anything first of all what the hell does nxt stand next right next wrestling right? So if you have a w present ring of honor as a show You could have a great one-hour program anywhere. You could have it on max. It's still ring of honor Uh, it could be a max exclusive. So that would be a place where people would go. Yes I don't know how many people are gonna watch it. Is it gonna be 50,000? Is that 100,000? Is it 25,000? I don't know I don't have that metric but tony bringing this up now is not Just the thought to a question right right right it there's a reason why tony's talking about this now The same way how people started talking to me about simulcasting Right tony's very much interested in simulcasting much like how the mba is on max to simulcast this That's not isn't you know A lot of times you dig and you find information other times people tell you things right right This was set to me by numerous people on both sides So When that happens, I know that it's a discussion. Yeah, it's not just somebody's idea floating in in the ether Which there are a lot of which is a ton of again. I'm gonna say this. Um, I I know that Um, garret brought me up with dave on observer radio on friday And I got a bunch of people asking me hey garret mentioned that you know the uh, the the price right now Being suggested garret never said that yeah garret said angel doesn't know the price He's just heard what everybody else has heard. I really don't know the price. I have no clue um According to tony, it's a significant increase That's good for everybody is said right now. They they're looking at a significant increase So what does this mean? I don't know. I I think the I was told that they are out of the window of the exclusivity conversation, but according to tony. They're not Interesting. Okay We'll find out. I think this is very interesting. Whatever we find out. It's gonna be soon I don't know what that means soon could be two weeks soon could be two months I don't know. Maybe maybe they announced it at all in. Yeah, maybe they that's but I mean WWE never announces their deals. No, they don't they don't they don't go We have signed back on with us say a usa network for you know x-man. They don't do that Uh, he has a question I have a question Do you think it could get done by all in and all in will be on max? I don't know Um, that'd be cool as hell. Do you know last year that was that was very much discussed Yeah on how they're presenting all in and a lot of that changed With pay per view rights and everything else a lot of that change so um As in the reality is wbd would love To be the home for their pay per views because they make money when you buy it on br live, right? They split a revenue Yeah so By having it on all these other services It does affect the cost. So maybe they turn around. They say no, we're just going to put you on max Yeah, I The problem is max doesn't have pay per view streaming capabilities You right they have streaming capabilities obviously, but they don't have a pay per view functionality to it now would that be From a technical standpoint would that be more akin to the ww streaming on peacock Um, because then you don't have to pay the extra forward and you just have it I think I think the thing about ww was they have they have a much larger audience base So when your peacock or your nephlix right because that's probably going to be the next home for their pay per views You're looking at it as look how many people are watching at this time, right? There's a big difference between a million plus like three and a half million form almost four million people saw rustle mania. Yeah Versus 200,000 that watched all in right, you know, you you're able to for 200,000 dollars. I don't think Listen, that's just me. Uh, this is my opinion. I don't think that it's it's financially viable to miss out on a pay per view revenue You've already conditioned your audience about a hundred thousand to 200,000 people depending To pay every month of 50 dollars Close every month nine times 10 times 10 times a year for sure So it's it's I don't there's a financial tie in here. It's not as simple as saying Oh, we're just going to put on max and call it a day and people subscribe to max to get this Unless they add a separate tier You know Yeah, hey sign up for max pay five dollars more a month and get all your a w Pay per views, right, but then you got to deliver every month Exactly, you know, if you're giving this if you're charging that way, then you got to do it every month there It's it's it's far more complex these deals than what anybody else thinks. Oh, yeah, I Very complicated stuff. It's so we're here. We're at the end We'll see what happens. Yeah Announcements for dynamite so far. This looks like a great card again. They have loaded these cards on card. Hey man page Darby allen. This is the first time that they are wrestling. Really? Yeah, wow. They've never faced each other in a single I'm here. Yeah, never in a single. We'll osprey lance archer. Great. They've been building lance as a monster on collision Where you're just murdering everybody backstage? Mm-hmm. CML women's title eliminator, will a nightingales? Kristat lander. Do you feel that this should have been done in a more high profile way for that match? Yes instead of an eliminator match. Yes and no. Okay. Yes and no I I do think the The arrival of Mercedes has taken away a lot of attention from these two Even though will always a fan favorite. Yeah, you know Uh, by the way guys get your questions already. We're gonna answer your questions at the end of the show if you want to be bumped To the top hit us with a super chat. It helps pay for our producers. Okay. I'm dying my downtown Oh Uh, mark brisko orange Cassidy and tomahiro ishi versus rusch The beast mortos and roderick strong great. Do you like the name toros or do you like the beast mortos better? I like the beast morto. I kind of do yeah Uh danson speaks. Hopefully, you know, he cuts like a kick-ass promo about winning the title I I I could smell this swerve Stink all over this that he doesn't care for the title. This man has been possessed By the ring. Yeah, this is and now he's like, yeah, whatever He is not a guy to do and whatever. Yeah, he knows that that's damaging to his right thing, you know, like The whole story is like, well, I'm leaving. I'm leaving my daughter. I'm leaving. He is he's not gonna do a full time But man, you know put the freaking it would be he would be a Service if he's never the a w world champion. I agree with that a hundred percent I like your idea of doing a reverse montreal on him Shut the lights and throw the belt on him and get the hell out of there. Yeah, just Some kind of school boy situation happening. Yeah, uh, let's see Mercedes Monet and commille will appear That's like what a great heavy. Did you see them at comic-con? Yo, the great you know what that comic-con stuff was great They uh, Mercedes came out as poison ivy and came real came out as bane That's fantastic. Very good. They look great. Actually. I have some notes about that and uh, tonycon cut that promo saying that I believe it's it's all in Britt baker versus uh, yeah, that's scheduled that's gonna happen at all in Um, I gotta tell you the comic-con panel that they did was very successful. Yeah, uh, they announced their dc comic partnership very cool very cool and this again, this is this is the This is the wider net of being a wbd property. Yes being on you know, you have these deep tie-ins You know, I'm not saying that this is going to work out or this is a a brilliant plan But this is an advantage over ww. Yeah for sure ww can't go to does not have a marvel tie-in Right and again who'd i'm not saying that this is the this is a great add-on But the fact that they can yes the fact that they have this weird tie-in with adult swim Which is their key demo, which is their exact demo Uh, the dc, you know being doing something with dc is again. It's another Add-on to their marketing. Yeah, it's another addition These are things that take time to do should they have done this from the beginning? Sure, I I do think so but again This is partnerships that take time and confidence take time that rebock partnership is is a big deal You know, we're seeing these things fall into place Either it's their marketing department has grown which it has They've they've made some major changes to the corporate back end that's helping with this Yeah, or it's just time you know time is now playing out and people have more confidence. Yes in the product Yep, uh, it's cool stuff. I uh, I feel like they should have pulled the trigger on that dc dc thing a couple years ago Because they were hinting at it. Yeah, um Uh, as far as marvel and ww goes I think I've said this a million times when disney decides to buy WWE that's when we're gonna get roan range showing up in the dc In a marvel you in a wolverine comic You could have he could have been a wolverine in that movie. Yeah, good. We're in also a wolverine deadpool a lot of fun Yeah, uh, let's see. I'm ryan may also has a sit down interview with rene pickett. All right, cool Cool. Uh, you want to quickly do g1 standings or do you want to recap the ring of honor show? Uh, let's do g1 standings and then this is as of the 29th.

I think he's gonna go all the way hanari four points renorita four jeff cob four godo for oleg boulton for day finley for Go to suji two and elfantas mo to elp. Yeah, uh, very interesting stuff.

Hey guys get your questions ready submit them in the chat We will do our best to answer them a w world championship swerve Strickland against daniel brian brian dannelson tony storm aw for the aw women's championship aw american championship Mjf will osprey.

You want to jump into questions? Let's do q&a boys and girls Uh, we're gonna do a q&a and then we're gonna need to add to hear folks. So uh line them up This one glass door gamer. Thank you for the super chat hangman okada was teased at blood and guts Yes Yes, so that is that was a very interesting tease I'm down with it. I don't think they have wrestled since Japan hangman was in new japan so you know what that's a great all-in match Yeah, and it makes sense right it makes total sense and I do like This is something that is very unique to what they are doing. Okay These secondary titles are not on the up and comings anymore, right? They're putting all these secondary titles on Key people yes and again this has to do with building the lineage right? You know the the prestige of a title you have all these titles and everybody says it doesn't mean anything but That international title is on You You know on on A main player. Yeah, are you believe the greatest pro wrestler of the last ten years? Oh, you talking about osprey. Yeah, now it's on mjf. You know another another top contender went from osprey to him Uh the continental title That's what I was talking about. Oh the continental. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes continental title now It's on one of the greatest of all time your tag titles are on one of the greatest tag teams Your tbs title is on arguably one of the best women's wrestlers of that era Tony storm another fantastic world champion. You have put the every title strategically on key people. Yep That matters I don't know what it's gonna if it's gonna matter in a year But that matters especially if you are telling the story of hangman page Against okada for a title. It has to mean something. Yes I like that it all means something and also I do think for some reason I feel like hangman's gonna screw dannylson out of that title I went really because he wants it for himself I I hope I hope he gets it Damn yeah, yeah, I do Uh, let's see brian knight any new updates on ricky starks megan bane lashley and wardlo Uh, I have no update lashley's very interesting Um Could he go to ww? Uh could he go to a w? I want to see him in new japan to be honest He could I had tna. I mean he could do tna, but there's no money there. Yeah, he wasn't tna for he was He was like he had all the titles remember that yeah, uh him and mvp both Uh, I know that they want to put together that group You know with shelter. I don't know whatever they would call it the business. Yeah sure uh NXT Bobby lashley listen leo rush is an nxt in a w now. There you go You can have them all you can have leo rush still be reunion. Yeah, uh, I I would love to see lashley do something I don't know how he fits in the a w bubble Um Yeah, he's he's tremendous He's very impressive Does it matter? I don't know. Yeah Wardlo, I have no idea where he is ricky. I have no idea where he is Uh, megan. I have no idea. I I I did I am going to reach out about megan though. Yeah Uh catalik karsen. Do you think we get dom versus ria in a match? I don't think so. I think those days are over. I think though, but that would be I mean he would she would have to whip his butt Oh, yeah, I mean really just It doesn't help anybody. Yeah Ria's impressive, but she's not she's not as big as you think She's five seven five seven, but she comes across gigantic on she her presence is just someone that's six feet tall but You know, she's so fantastic. She really is. He's an interesting money question. Yeah from paul antony moss What is that always Uh, do you What are you being are you on the run right now? Nobody could hear him. Oh, okay What do you think the 1.275 million tax credit from cleveland to a w is ultimately for a future pay review? Um I think ww got the same exact amount also. So I just think it's running that but you know, you it's right offs Yeah, you run it there. Um I don't know if this has to do with like their filming Incentive, you know, you you film a television product in cleveland. You get a tax break up florida does that georgia Does that I didn't see I shall bring it there's some put something out yesterday. I didn't deep dive it But to me it looks like it's pretty standard issue stuff Um, you know, you run shows in in a in a area And you're eligible for whatever maximum credit that they're giving you tax credit They're giving you for bringing business there. So it's most likely that how many times did they run cleveland last year? Yeah, I don't remember Um, I want to see quite a few times Maybe someone in the chat has that it's from a shock. What do you make of the three-hour pre-show to summer slam that is counter programming collision Isn't collision going on early? Yeah, but then you have like you have a three-hour. Yeah. Yeah, no, but collision moves. So I don't know those pre shows There's nothing It's just them talking for three hours in front of this stadium like uh like a espn Yeah, day game, you know college college football Uh, let's see. This is uh, who would you pick to do some brine night? Who would you pick to throw in rocks and press julia or staphone would care? Oh, that's good um You know, either one would be good. You know what I would do I would and I would If she's ready to go I would introduce staphone to care first I think staphone definitely first, but I don't know if she's challenging for that title I think have her beat rocks and for as and then move the program to julia. Okay, that's cool too. Yeah Uh, let's see Do you see a new four horsewoman and nxt julia staphone? Uh delta and maybe jordan grace by 2025 You know, I I think they're all fantastic. Um there's a lot of Stephanie impressed a lot of people. Oh, yeah, uh, so did you so does julia. I Jordan grace Really established. I mean, listen that that maybe the next crop, you know of top tier women coming into that company uh Very well could be They're not home grown. Mm-hmm. Right. Right. So I don't know how much that matters, but It is interesting to see all these people end up there. Oh, yeah for sure for sure the Stephanie the care stuff is That's a story and a half. Yeah on its own. Absolutely. Absolutely. I think also everybody talks to each other in the business You know, yeah, they they're all helping each other. They don't care This this tribalism between like oh a w versus you know, whatever whatever Uh, that does not exist with the talent the talent knows how important it is to have an alternate out there Nobody sees it as we got to kill the competition. Exactly. Um, nobody really ever saw that in the history of wrestling Even in the wcw days. Mm-hmm except for the highest paid people. They were more vigilant at that But really you everybody knows the importance of having another option out there well Ethan page is a great example Ethan page is a great example. He is a great example of somebody who is floundering and not on tv And then all of a sudden big time debut for nxt is the nxt champion now Yeah, because he has a system behind him that works. Yeah, he and the Ethan pages worked really hard for years. I've I mean, we used to see him evolve all the time and killing Darby allen. Oh, yeah, for sure throwing him into the post um Interesting though This is from lucas or luke Where do you think pock pack ends up in the all-in card? You know him and rickishay would be fun him and rickishay would be fun. I think he needs a high profile match I Don't know who that would be. I think he needs a belt. I think he needs a match for a belt at that show Paco cotta Paco cotta I I would know I think ocada is gonna be hangman. Yeah And he has to be on that show. Yeah, I don't know I don't know where I do also think you get the return of Jamie hater Jamie that would be fantastic if she comes back to that Uh, nubin co will the women's wargames match be damage control versus stony devil and her group I feel like that's what all signs are pointing to right right now. It is. Yeah, but I don't know A lot could happen by then one injury could derail that whole thing. I don't know Um, that makes a lot of sense though. Mm-hmm uh, let's see Should tk is ace should tk start resigning resigning key talent or is he thinking to sign rickishay and maybe members of the hurt biz Uh rickishay would be a great asset to them Yeah, um I don't know how far the hurt business would help them with tv and talent It just really depends on if you could create a cap the beating story for these people I think rickishay has a really good program to do with will osprey wherever we go with this I think that would be a tremendous program for them And it would help elevate rickishay by being on par with you know, the greatest wrestler of this generation Whatever you want to call it. I think he gets I think he gets introduced in a different way I think he gets introduced by osprey to help him Maybe okay, he brings him in as a tag team and then yeah, they could do that too, which would be awesome Yeah, which would be great too. I think obviously for him it has to be It has to be presented perfectly for rickishay. Absolutely. This is his second chance. Yes, you know in ww He came very at a very unique time and he did great in the next t Uh, he comes to the main roster And that was it. Yeah Um, let's see if brian cage is a w wolverine. Who is ww wolverine? Is it logan paul? Logan paul bomb Who is ww wolverine ww Yeah, he's a wolverine. He's a wolverine. Yeah, he's a wolverine for sure That was easy He wishes he had the claws. Do you know how many times he got like when he was like in his peak rage You would go in the mirror and just go like this and try to get it to come out Uh, this is from brian knight in your opinion will phoenix and penta hit free agency if so are they a package deal? I think they're a package deal. Yeah, um, I could honestly I could see them in the next day No, no, I see them on the main. I see penta on the main roster. Yeah. Yeah, ww main ros Yeah, I don't see them as a tag team on the next day. Yeah, really. No interesting. Okay. He's he's been around a long time He's been around a long time I really thought uh, they were gonna put the belt on him a couple of years ago in a w I think in the early days he would have that would have been a great argument But you know things fall into different places. Yeah, interesting how that happens Uh, let's see is a roh going to be on tv under the a w brain I'm I'm You know after because I've heard this so many times that oh, you know, that is an option You present that as a w presents ring of honor a w ring of honor as a show Uh much like nxt and it would actually help them I I think tony bringing it up Really was not a a just a random thought that that was strategically said because that's something that probably is discussed If you are going to put this as an exclusive on max, which it should be What a great freaking way to do it. Yeah Yeah, you know, what a great way to do it. How do you watch ring of honor? How does anybody watch ring of honor? I and I'm asking I know the answer, but I'm asking that because most people would not know And that says everything. I I agree with that 100. Yeah Uh, it's like you were right. It's like a it's an interesting it exists, but it doesn't exist I know how I watch it upside down in your hyperbaric chamber upside down like a bat Uh, this is uh from bell Do you think roxanne finally gets called up to the main roster when she drops the nxt women's title to julia or Stephanie? Yeah for sure Uh, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Uh, this is a funny one. This is from kate hello kate. Uh, what what hair product is rich use? I'm over xerians Uh, no product. It's called taking a shower and using a comb. You don't mind it. That's it. You know minus Oh, yeah, I glue it on This is this comes right off and I there's a mannequin right there And it has my tuesday piece my wednesday piece my thursday piece Just pop them right off and put it on Sundays, uh sunday's a mohawk. Oh, yeah sunday's a mohawk And then sometimes I do to mullet like that like the and I do one of those I would love how much would it cost to get you in a mullet? I came mess with the hair if if you were just like, you know what? I'm just gonna grow the bag out I'm contractually obligated to this hair. I think you'd look great in a mullet. You think so?

Let's do a couple more and I got to get out of here If ricochet goes to a w does he debut his face or heal? I think he comes in his face helps osprey and then joins the callus family and turn become the heal Oh my god. What if he is part of the callus family? You know what? I am into that. Yeah, heal ricochet big time You piece of crap. He left me behind. You have all the success while I died In new york. I think I would love to see him just cut really angry effing promos. Yeah, love it Uh, does ricochet align herself with dom and live Interesting. I never even thought about that. Well, that's interesting If the lucha burrows go to w.a. They would have to be on the main roster. Yeah, I i'm telling you man I feel like nxt nxt belts and then put them on the main I don't think I don't think there's enough time for Uh, I think phoenix. Yes, you could do that with I don't I Also, they're not going to leave to go Listen unless they're building a CW show and they're throwing a lot of money at these guys to say like hey Listen, we need some flagship people. We're on right. We're on the CW now. So Let's build it up with some people that are recognizable. I don't know they could do that too. Oh, here's a great question Yeah, I think we should end on this one. Yeah, uh, do you think debbie? This is from sports today Do you think w you can sell out two nights of summer slam starting in 2026 with over 50,000 tickets paid or more like a russomania? Uh, I think they can today if like you were talking about wb and their momentum today. I 100% think they can um Listen that company is all about maximizing on revenue. Uh, they Listen, man. A lot of this is travel business too. People are flying to the show right right? You flying for a saturday Are you willing to stay at another day? Yeah, you are you're already there. So that alleviates some of that. Um Yeah, I think it's I think it's very possible. I think very much they could do two nights Uh, as of today, I don't know what it's going to look like in 2026. I get no idea Uh, you know that they could take a dump 24 months. It's a very long time They could especially in the world of wrestling we see the turnarounds happening Go from a w in 2021 to a w in 2023 a lot change a whole lot changed now for me personally Two nights of summer slam sounds way more fun than two nights of russomania I because it's the summer summer time. Yeah, summertime. It's a little like the park drink beers all day I I am not a I am not a two night fan personally. Okay. I like one night Give me the best of the best And we're good.
