A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. What's next?

Everybody, welcome to Beyond the Bell. I'm Andrew Zarian. This is a lot of fun. We're here. It is Tuesday. Of course, I'm joined by, hey, Rich is back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. I'm back. What's up, everybody? I'm here. What's going on, man? Not much, man. How you doing? I'm doing good. You're not getting pumped for tomorrow. Tomorrow's going to go. Tomorrow's Grand Slam. We're in my neck of the woods. Guys, should we tell them what we're going to do? Yeah, let's film. If you're in the area and you want to hang out a little bit ahead of time, we're going to be at the EBS Brewing Brewery right by city field starting at four o'clock. We're not going to buy you drinks. You're going to buy us drinks. Yeah. And by drinks, I mean waters for me. And, uh, Pino Grease is for me. Sauvignon Blancs for Andrew. Sauvignon Blancs for Andrew. Do they have a Sauvignon Blanc there? I'm sure they have a white oven. That's like a nice fruity wine. I'm sure they have crisp fruity wine. I honestly want to say that I think they have a Riesling. They have a reason, but is it a dry Riesling or is it like a sweet one? I don't like a sweet, a wet Riesling. We'll be at EBS Brewery tomorrow by city field starting at four o'clock. If you want to come by and hang out, that's cool. You know, we did a little meetup before the last AW show at press one nine five on bait and base site. That was fun, but this is a little more convenient for everybody because it's right off the LA, double R right off the seven train and right off the highway if you are driving in. So we hope to see you there guys. Yeah. Uh, when you see Robert Rowe, uh, our financier, you need to go up to him and say, Hey, aren't you New York City financier, Robert Rowe? And he won't know what you're talking about. I think that's the best part about that, Joe. He has no idea about that, Joe. He'll come up to us and be like, why is everybody calling me your financier? He does say that he's my parole officer on, uh, on Twitter. That's pretty funny. Now, uh, probation officer. I do like that. Will time cock max cock. All right. It's not bringing the in the weeds jokes to the show, Joe Pearl is not like this, this sharing me. I'm anti sharing Andrew. I'm anti Garrett Gonzalez. I'm anti Joe Pearl, Richard, so again, sharing me he likes these people individually, but not with me involved. I, you know, that's a stretch, guys, it shows all about professional wrestling and everything happening this week. A lot of big stories to talk about Monday night, Royal last night, big surprise title change. I see title change. Very cool. What a moment. 14 years since this guy won a belt. Who? Jason? Yeah. Not 14 years. 14 years, dude. 14 years since he's got a single single belt. Oh, a single belt. Okay. Great. So, um, him and Rakeshi are the only father and son to hold that icy title. Really? Yeah. Wow. That's a very interesting factoid. Yeah. Interesting, right? Do you think Rakeshi's going to come and save the day by dance and everybody? Yo, that rich broke down on that man on Saturday. We did a Saturday morning show. He broke down the greatest way to end the bloodline feud and it's everybody's in the ring and here comes Rakeshi and the music starts playing. Whatever the hell it is. Sunglasses and they all put on the sunglasses and dance and that's how you end the bloodline to you. I'm doing this shit. The rock. He's so stiff. He can't move like that. The rock just spins. They just spin him around. They put him in a, in a hand truck, like Hannibal Lecter. Oh my God. That's how stiff that's the next evolution of the rock, by the way. What? Him getting wheeled to the ring and I had a hand. Like a trainable Lecter? Yeah. I love that. I love that. I love that. Just make him into a monster. He just gets bigger and bigger. Where do you want to start? Where do you want to start? Do you want to talk about Raw from last night? Do you want to talk about Grand Slam? Grand Slams tomorrow. That's kind of a big deal. Do you want to talk about WWE? Do you want to talk about the Vince statement on? Let's skim through Raw because there's so many other people that do a better show review than us. Yeah. We're just literally giving you what happened. I thought it was a fun show. It was a fun show. It was a good show. I guess how many hours it was. Three hours, right? Two. It was two hours. It was two hours. Was it? It was three. It was three. Well, I fast forward. I fast forward it. So I'm sorry. It was two hours for me. Yeah. It was my apologies. It was a three hour show. Yeah. It was a very... It was a long show. It was good. It was fun. What are they going on? Two hours. End of September. Next month. I thought it was two hours. End of October. Sorry. But you know what it was? I was 40 minutes behind. Okay. So I did one of those. You saw it at nine. I saw. Yeah. Okay. It was like a little after nine actually. That's the way to do it. Yeah. Skip through all the nonsense. Yeah. Skip the commercials and then you're caught up. I do love how Dominic is really going for that Eddie Guerrero look. He's so good. And an attitude. He's very good. Showed up in the lowrider. What I thought was interesting is him and Liv show up in the lowrider and their backstage. They did that tracking shot that they've been using lately where you follow the superstar into gorilla. But right at the entrance. This is the one weird thing that caught my eye. There was a merch booth. Okay. Right. Right where the gate is when he pulls the car up and I'm like, there's no way there's a merch booth there. Right by gorilla. They're not letting fans. No, nobody's going there. And that's the one that Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed crashed through. I'm sorry. I got distracted. Look who's in the chat room. Who's this? Oh, he says back. He said, are you here or are you elsewhere? I would like to know. Yeah. She's terrorizing. We haven't seen her in a while. Yeah. She terrorizes me. As she's a terrorist. In my life. I will accuse her. He's a terrorist. To me. Don't say that. The government, if you're listening. Is she on her island? Is she on the island or is she on the mainland? Yeah, she's in Plainview. She's in Plainview Long Island. You know, they opened up a press in Plainview. Yes. I told them. I said, you guys have to link up with MJF. You have to do some sort of sponsorship. I'd like to go visit that location. It's nice. Yeah. Did you know? No, I haven't gone. But I saw all the photos. I saw pictures. I heard about it. So what do you think? What do you think of this? What do you think of this whole thing with Dominic? Yeah. Liv Morgan. Rio Ripley. Rio Ripley announces that she's cleared to wrestle at Bad Blood. Great. I'm looking forward to that. I love the long-term storyline here. The Dominic Ria stuff started how many years ago. It was that Thanksgiving segment, right? That they filmed. It was like Gorilla videography. They followed them and then the police came and they got kicked out of Thanksgiving and I thought that was fantastic. Yeah. They've done a really good job. I think Liv is doing good. I'm really into Ria. My kids love Dominic Mysterio. Yeah. Ethan loved him and they don't understand why he's a bad guy. They don't get it. He's very kid-friendly and he was so sweet to them when they met him. They just adored this guy and I'm like, "No, he's a heinous villain." And they're like, "Not to me." I'm like, "I love him, Dan." I'm like, "You know what? I felt like that about Mr. Perfect." Okay. Yeah. I loved him and he was a heel. How could you not though? How could you not? He's perfect. Guy caught his own football. Dude, he caught his own... He hit a homerun. That caught his own football, bro. I... They freaking love him and that's what it's about, right? You're creating talent that is resonating with a younger generation that'll continue this. Well, add a little extra to there. You're creating young talent. Young talent. Young talent. Young talent. Young talent. Because Dominic is going to be around for a while. You know, one of the first thoughts, like in wrestling maturity, right? I'm in my early 20s, right? 2004. Randy Orton is like the hot commodity, right? Oh, yeah. Legend killer. And it was the first time I really thought I'm like, "Oh, you know, like the bread hearts is Steve Austin's, the rocks, undertaker, those guys are going to be gone in a couple of years." Right. Some are not. Some are still here. Yeah, yeah. You know, those guys were so beyond larger than life, right? Those are characters that are instrumental in that company. Absolutely. Could they do it again? I always think that. Like, I've always thought that. I'm like, how are they going to do this, like the talent pool? Like, how are they going to keep me interested in talent, like me? You're talking about it. Yeah. You know what? They've done a great job. And it just shows you, like, there's so much effort that's put into this. Dominic is built for this, like he's connecting with a whole new audience. They've done a fantastic job, I think, with especially their main event and like to get interest and just to really, to really hyper, to hyper activate that sense of there's something for everyone. And it doesn't feel like it's phoned in as much as it used to be. Because I feel like when you watched Raw a couple of years ago, you were like, what are they doing? You know, like, not so much of like a, from a booking standpoint, but from like, this is nonsense. Like, this doesn't, who's this doing it for? You know? 100%. That kind of thing. Prior to, prior to 100, taken over, yeah, it was catering to what Vince McMahon thinks a younger generation would be into. Yeah. Like, you gotta think about what did he grow up watching? Yeah. That's true. Man was born in '46, '47, '47 like that, whatever. In the '60s, he was an adult. Yeah. That's wild, isn't it? Right? In the '60s, he was a grown man. So what did he grow up watching in the 1950s on television? Right. A lot of slapstick. A slapstick. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was wrestling was like, Scott Lopez has a question here. Sure. 20 bucks. Do we answer it now or save it for the AEW cycle? Do you want to do the, because this is, this shows a little bit different. Do you want to just do the supers as they come in? Yeah. Let's, let's do the supers as they come in. We had a first, we had one though from Glassdoor Gamer first. Okay. Let's go to that one. Glassdoor Gamer does TK hire more creative people with the TV deal. Being the challenger brand, you can't coast on TV shows. I feel they do it too often. The CK hire more creative people for the TV deal. I think he has been throughout the year. We know that he had Jen. Will Washington is very involved with Tony in creative and I got to tell you, you know, listen, I'm a little biased towards Will. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I like the guy, but he's never written television before. And he, and that whole, I mean, what he has written has been pretty good. Right. So I think Tony has some good people around him. It just, we need more consistent. I think they need to figure out what the audience really likes. Like, I hate those pre-recorded Mercedes video packages, you know, it doesn't resonate with me. It doesn't look great for me. But I do like a lot of other things that they're doing. So just minor tweaks to see what works. Yeah, I, you know, I think time will tell, do they need an experienced TV writer? But, but that could also mean a million different things, you know, like, do you hire a writer who's available, who has worked on a, let's say, award winning streaming show? Or do you hire a guy who has a credit on like TMZ? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. There's so many levels to it. If you're going to hire a writer, you have to hire a competent writer. You can't just hire random people that have an agenda to fill. Is the day of the writing packet over? Yeah. I think so. You're just hands it like, Hey, this is my packet. These are 20 pages. This is what I would do. You know what? I don't think so. Like I honestly think like if, you know what, if I, if someone, if I'm in that creative position, someone handed me a packet and he's like, listen, I wrote out like six months. Yeah. Take a look at this. I would be an asshole not to look. Right. It's a detriment to me. Right. Yeah. You know, if you suck it at writing, that's why would I obviously that's your problem, not mine. But why would I miss a good opportunity? Exactly. Do you want to do Scott Lopez's question and we go back into it? Yes. Scott Lopez, you have five minutes with TK. Yeah. What are you? I made tomorrow. What are you telling him to help improve your five minutes with TK? What are you telling him to help improve the many things that need improvement in AEW? I for one feel he needs to delegate booking duties per title with TK having final say. See, I, I don't, there's, I wouldn't even talk to my booking. Like I don't think the booking is the problem. I think it's branding marketing. I think it's marketing. Marketing is big. It is, it is all of it. It's an overall encompassing issue for that company. The writing is not, like I don't watch that show and think, well, this is a bad show. Right. Exactly. It's rare. Like I really don't feel that way. You know, Monday and I Raw has been really, you know, the last year they turned it around, obviously, right? Yeah. But they still have those problems because it's been three hours. Mm-hmm. Smackdown as a whole has been pretty good. Right? It's been pretty good. Yeah. There's no problems with those things. There's certain things that don't appeal to me anymore because I'm 40 and not 20 and not 10 and not 15. So I'm able to see beyond my point of view with, with creative stuff. I love the office. Rich hates it. Yeah, I can't stand it. Can't stand it. Garbage. I hate, well, how I met your mother too. You hate how I met your mother. I, you know what? Also, I hate friends. Sorry. And you hate friends. It's my taste. It's the best taste, but it's, you know, it's my taste. I hit there and talked to Tony about booking because I've never booked or written a store. Exactly. Exactly. But, you know what I do have experience with? Marketing. Marketing. The business and public relations and growth, branding, communications, analytics, like that's what I would talk to them about. I would talk to them about, you know, getting them just a lot, actually. I would talk, I recently had a conversation with somebody that is there, adjacent. Okay. And I, I just, I just unload it. I was like, dude, why aren't you guys doing this? Why aren't you guys doing that? Yeah. You're in the New York market. It's the easiest market to sell. Right, right. Yeah. It's the hardest, but it's the easiest because there's people around that want to do something. You got 9 million people here. Right. You're telling me you can't get 10,000 people in that building in Queens? Exactly. Exactly. I, you know, that first year when they did it, man, all those billboards were everywhere. Shen Young. Right? Yeah. Yeah. The play. Damn shit is everywhere. Okay. They sell out Queens College every week. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, but again, who knows what's going on there? Who's going, who knows what's going on there? Shen Yun. Yeah. Uh, you know what I mean? Like it. I heard there after you. I heard they're trying to get a lot of people trying to kidnap me recently. This is a new thing. I don't know what the hell happened. You're very kinappable. You're very likely to. Your light is a feather. You know, they put that bag over my head. I just jump in there. I just jump in their hands. Like, take me. You're like a deer in headlights. You just don't know what to do. I, I don't, I can't speak on booking, but I will say that major and their biggest problem to me is the overall structure of how they're marketing their aggressiveness with this. Their aggressiveness with a lot of the, the, the communications aspect of having a global brand. Yeah. You need to act like a global brand if you are one in which they are. So I think they're in close and they're making those changes. They're, they're adding more, but that's where I would go. I would say, you know, like, I would personally just say like tighter booking, tighter booking sure, tighter book. I don't have a solution for that, tighter booking and also like, I feel like, I don't know if this is talking out of my lane here, but I, I want that like spirit of competition with the talent where it's like, take hangman and swear, for example, tremendous, arguably the best storyline in the company. Yeah. Right. What I would personally love the guys in the back to be like, you know what? Fuck this. Like this is what I'm doing with this guy. Here's my pitch, et cetera, et cetera. Or, you know what I mean? Like something like that where you have built in stuff like Davidson and McGinnis, we're like, you don't have to do a 15 year story. You don't have to do anything with anything. I will say we're talking, and I want to get back to WWE because this was a fantastic question, Scott. Great. Great question. Yeah. I will say, I would like a little more with that, with the McGinnis stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, it's been all tongue in cheek, right? It's been all tongue in cheek for over a year. Yeah. I watched these men rustle 20 years ago, or whatever it was 15 years ago, 17 years ago, 16 years ago. I've seen it. I know the story because I am a P1 viewer. I am obsessively consuming professional wrestling for the majority of my life. Yes. So, I have a very different perspective, but if I am a casual, I don't know the story between these two. Yeah. I needed force fed. You know what I mean? Like, and that is what WWE does, and a lot of people criticize it, but there's a reason for that force feeding of constant reminders that these two hate each other. They have done it. I don't think it was enough. I'll agree with that. I think it needs to be a little more. I'll give you a good example of that. You hit the nail on the head. So, our buddy, Alex, is coming to the show with us tomorrow. Hey, can I share something with you? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Sweet. Is that a bone? It's a bone. Nice. Can I share something else with you? Is this what you're also injecting into your body? Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. Hell yeah. I think it's the good stuff. They're good stuff. Wow. I put it right here, right? Yeah. Right in the... Right in the... The P should do. Um, so, our friend Alex is coming tomorrow. Yeah. Today, I have to send him Danish and McGinnis highlights. Because he doesn't know. Because he doesn't know. And I... But I also think he would appreciate the fact that these guys have had such separate stories and they are two of the best wrestlers that ever lived. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I need... I need to give, uh... Robert Rowe, New York City financier. I'm gonna see him today. I'm gonna give him a crash. He's gonna give him one of these? I'm gonna give him one of those. Don't you walk up to him and just hit him? Yeah, dude. Yeah. See what happens. You think he'll get like a real jack like the Hulk? Mmm. He gets very upset with needles and turns purple. All right. Uh, back to WWE. Yeah. Guys, if you want to keep those super chats coming, we're gonna do something a little different on this show, which is we'll answer them as they come and set a saving them for the end of the show. Um, Sami Zayn defeated Ludwig Kaiser with the Hellewe kick. You know, honestly, man, I want Sami with that belt. The world? The worm. The worm. The worm title. Uh, I like him, man. He's great. I, I, I don't know if that'll ever happen. Captivating character. Sorry. Very captivating. Coby met with Xavier. Uh-huh. Uh, this is very interesting. Okay. Let's see what happens. You have them. They had a very long match at the end of the night. Uh, yeah. Yeah. Megan Lee defeated Carlito, um, big, big, big tag team match here. Uh, I'm really liking this Braun Strowman, Bronson Reed stuff. You like it. Huh? I really do like it. I, I like that they're building him as a monster. Hmm. Bronson Reed is being built like a monster, which he should be. So do you have the notes in front of you? Yeah, I do. Can you please read? Go to the top of the raw. No. Don't change it. Can't keep you. The top of the raw. Okay. I'm going to read the third line. They would arrive. That one? Oh, right underneath that. This is about Braun Strowman. They enter the building. When they enter the building, I, by the way, I have not read this, so I don't know what this says. So I'm going to read it. Okay. When they enter the building, Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed are brown again. Perfect. Still. Perfect. Well, it's so perfect. I love it. I love it. But who's the most strikes again? So good. Why is that so funny to us? It's the funniest. I don't know why. It's like a little... They are brawling. You know, there's an inference there. But I just like that. That's what my kids say after I'm tanning. They're browning. He's browning. He's browning again. He's browning again. Does everybody call it? They say you're browning. They say you're browning. The great browning. I put on my Speedo on Sunday. I put on this yellow and floral Speedo. And I kept doing the pec dance. And my children go, why do you have that? Why do you have your mom's underwear on, first of all? I'm like, it's a Speedo. It's very European, kid. It's very European. And I took the pizza peel and I used it to take... Oh, very nice. Yeah. Very nice. Yeah. Go inside and watch me through the windows. This is how it maintains. Listen, put this on TikTok. This is how it maintains. All right, let's go back to this. Dragon Lee would reign Mysterio Zelina Vega, Cruz Del Toro, and Joaquin Wild. I want to say Joaquin Phoenix every time I see that name. I would love to see Joaquin Phoenix in a match. Did you get that Joker sponsorship that we've been looking for for the new movie? What do you... Did you see the Rotten Tomatoes rating? No. It's a 73. I don't care. They gave the previous one a 60-something. Yeah. I don't care about reviews. I don't really... I don't want to go see it. I like the first movie. Yeah. You know, I as actor. I as actor. I as actor. I as actor. I formally have seen it. I formally have seen it. I don't know if he's a friend of this show. He's a friend of A show. He's a friend of the other show. Yeah. I as hit me with the best review of that first Joker movie. If you've never seen this course... I feel like doing this every single day walking in midtown, because that's how I feel. Yeah. Well, yeah. If you've never seen this course, Azy Flick, you're going to love this movie. That's actually fantastic. You know what? That's why he's a smart man. He was a lawyer. Smart guy. Was he? Yeah. He was an attorney. I think he still is. Like, once a lawyer, always a lawyer? Like Benicio del Toro's character and fear and loneliness in Las Vegas. Yeah, yeah. Just like that. Yeah. So, we had that big tag match. Very fun. Braun Strowman, Braun Strowman, Reed. They're going at it. I'm really enjoying these guys' feuding. Good bigs being bigs on each other. I like bigs being big on each other. Yeah. Yeah. Meat. Destroying them is. Last man standing match between them. Who do you think should take it? See, I think Braun Strowman's going to take it, but I want it to be Braun Strowman Reed. Give it to Braun Strowman. I mean, the choo choo shit ruined him for me. Sure. Yeah. I got a question for you. Yeah. In our segment... Can I tell you what I stumbled upon? Yeah, sure. I was... Before you go into that, I was just full... I found like all these old episodes that we had, like not on the internet archived because I pulled some stuff. Yeah, yeah. For sure. And you said that that man is going to be world champion one day. He was. About Braun Strowman. And this is when he had, I think like it was... We were talking about seeing him in that like small Florida loop that they would do. Yeah. And it was like like a seventh match. Yeah. And you're like, "No, that guy's going to be a world champion." That's right. And I was like, "What are you nuts?" I was like, "I don't know." I'm like, "He's big." He's like, "Nope, he's going to be a world champion." And he ended up being world champions for like two days. For two days. I called it. I mean, you're pretty good at that stuff. Not as good as you, though, with Bret Hart. So I went up to that guy. I went up to Stu. And I had a cigar in my mouth. And I had my hat. I took a big puff. I'm like that kid over there. He's got it. He's got it. I was six years old. I will pat, since we're self-agulating here, I will definitely pat myself on the back with saying as soon as I saw "Hang Man" in New Japan, I was like, "That's the guy." Yeah, dude. You said that even before. Before anything. I was like, "That's the guy." And guess what? He is the guy. He's the guy. He's the guy. Let's do what Andrew think. What Andrew think. What Andrew think. We need a graphic for this. We do. Somebody needs to make a graphic for what Andrew think. And Andrew, make the shittiest graphic on the planet that just says what Andrew think at some point for the next show. So what's the difference between Braun Strowman's Choo-Choo and Claudio Zero uppercut Tour? Because... Oh, the back of this, that he does constantly constantly. But he does it. But he does it outside the ring. Yeah. Oh, it's a choo-choo. Yeah. It's a choo-choo. So why don't you like the Braun compared to the Claudio? Because I know you like the Claudio one. I don't like people over six foot seven running like that. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I don't like big guys running. Because you can easily get out of their way. Yeah. He's very slow. Mm-hmm. And they did do a choo-choo sound effect. Yes. Many times. And I think that's what it was. It's not so much that the Big Dummy's running. Uh-huh. It's the choo-choo sound. Okay. I don't like it. He's too big. So you're too big to run. You're pretty much the same idea in like theory. I'm not calling him a dummy. I'm talking about... It's a joke we made up. It's a joke that he's looking for a stable and he's just trying to find a group of dummies and that's what he calls them. Okay. And he finds the worst people to join a stable. I'm looking for a group of dummies. So it's the same thing in theory, right? Yeah. Braun Stoneman, he's choo-chooing everybody four corners outside of the ring. Claudio's uppercutting people four corners outside of the ring, like on the four sides of the ring. Yeah. It's similar. Right. Yeah. But one does it for you and one doesn't. One does it for me and one doesn't. Yeah. Okay. Maybe maybe that's my AEW bias in some on Tony Con's payroll. Yeah, dude. Tony Con sends us these giant cartoony paychecks. There's the size of... And all of them? All of them? They're signed. But the signature is his dad's curled mustache. Yeah. And we have to open up a joint account because all they say is to Andrew and Rich. That's it. There's no last name. No last name. He doesn't even have dollar amount. It just has money. It's unbelievable. That's Tony Con. Can we get that graphic for that checkup also? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. I really like that feud. Damage control. Sky pirates versus unholy union. Great. It's war game season. So we're going to get some cool stuff going forward. The Creed brothers. Julie's Creed. Brutus Creed. I don't like their name. I don't like their name. Julius and Brutus. Julius and Brutus. Why? I don't like it. It was Danny DeVito's name and twins. The Schwarzenegger was Julius. What was his name? Yeah. I don't know. I feel like they should rename the other Creed brothers. Whatever Danny DeVito. Yeah. Frank Reynolds. Yeah. Frank Reynolds. I did get that little vignette that they played. It kind of looked like Frank Reynolds's flag during that game that they play. What is it? What is the game that they play? I'm always sunny. You know, I'm not a, I love the show. I'm not very well versed in it. I've watched that series. Endless. Endless. I can't even tell you how many times I've seen the same episodes. All right. Let's see. We got, um, the defeat of the new day versus pinfall. How do you feel about this? I honestly thought, like, because there was like a little pause at the end when they were celebrating. I really thought Biggie was going to show up. I'm waiting for him to show up and be like, "Guys, what's going on?" I hope he's cleared. I hope, like, yeah. Man, I don't know. Right? It really, like, there's a few moments in wrestling that are like, that I feel so bad for these players. Yeah. You know, there's a lot, but like sometimes like if we were talking about Bourdain, right? Like when Bourdain died, like it really like, I was like, "Ah, man, I was so angry." Like, I was so angry. I felt the same for Biggie. Like, obviously I'm so upset, but I was so angry that, that, that man got robbed. Yeah. Out of probably the best moment of his life, you know, he became world champion. He was on this huge upward trajectory, well deserved, you know, like really well deserved, so likable. Yeah. Very sad. And it was like, I'm waiting for that moment, I, I hate to get my hopes up, but I'm waiting for that moment for him to come out and be like, "Yeah, I, you know, I did some crazy treatment and I'm okay." Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go. Yeah. Let's see. We got the main event now. Can we talk about that vignette video? Yes. What do you think it is? That's a good question. Viking Raiders? Yes. That was my first thought. But it said war. Right. Right. When you, when it like, I guess the, the, the letters meant war, it's spelled out war. Maybe they're coming back as war machine. War Raiders. Yeah. There we go. Okay. War Raiders. That was their name in NXT. I totally forgot. I, I totally omitted this out of my brain when they debuted. Do you remember what their name was? In NXT. In WWE. Main roster. You see there were war, there were war Raiders. They were the Viking experience. The Viking experience. Yeah. Yeah. And everybody was so disgusted by it. They actually reversed. Just call them war machine. You can't do war machine. Why not? Because that, that, that was, that is a kiss song. It's, it's copy written. Really? Yeah. Okay. Like Marvel War Machine. I, I think it was a Marvel problem. I think nobody cared when they were on the indies. Interesting. Your main event. Yeah. WWE Intercontinental Championship match. Nate Uso, the challenger defeated Braun Breaker via pinfall. You saw his cousin? I got him. Oh my God. That guy looks like his dad. He looked and he's six foot two. Yeah. Two thirty five. Big boy. He's a big boy. Big boy. I hope he shows up. Mm hmm. Another Steiner. Ooh. How sick would it be if, if his arms are humongous by the way, like he, he's genetically, he's his father. He's a genetic freak part two. He's a genetic freak part two point out how crazy would it be in wrestling? In wrestling fantasy booking. If you get the two sons, you get the two sons of Sting versus the two Steiner cousins. The Steiner cousins versus the Sting boys. Oh man. You know, I love that. I don't care. You want to talk about nepotism? I don't care. Yeah. You know what? If you were a wrestler, your entire life, your, your kids do get a fast track. Okay. Yeah. You, you paid, you paid dues for them. Let them. I, I love seeing the kids do well. Yes. I want more children in wrestling. Sure. Give me, give me more people's kids. It's going to happen. Yo, you have you seen Goldberg's son? It's going to happen. Goldberg's son is like big. He's growing up. Yeah. Yeah. He's not, he's not that chubby kid. You know, with his shirt ripped off. It was only a couple of years ago, dude. I was going to say like, like that's the, that's like the weird thing about growing up is like when you're, when you're a toddler to when you're 12, you're essentially the same. Yeah. Right? When you're 17, you're like, you know, this dude's like gigantic. Yeah. Someone said David Batista said, uh, David Batista. Sorry. Dave Benoit. Oh, yeah. You know, I, I think he would have tremendous troubles. Uh, how do you feel about this when JU, so first singles title in 14 years? I, you know, I'm a little disappointed that the title came off of, uh, bra and breaker so quickly. I don't know, man. He's so believable that I don't think he needs it. I don't know. I go out on a limiter. Maybe they felt that they had, I maybe a little bit more would have been nice, but I have no problem with JU. So holding that title, that dude has done tremendous, tremendous stuff, big splash off the top. Yeah. Joe Tessatore is, was fantastic with the commentary. This dude, you know what? For a guy that's only been doing this for a couple of weeks has really understood how to sell that, those, those, those moves. Yeah. It's almost, listen, I'm sure someone's going to be like, you're an affinity for doing this comparison. It's like Michael Cole and Morrow in one. Yes. You know, cuz he grew dead. I grew dead. I don't think you're an idiot. You know what I mean? Yeah. I, I, he does sound a lot like Michael Cole, which is good because Michael Cole, it's amazing. That guy's done a 180 with his commentary. That guy was buried for years for over, I mean, decades by the fans, by the fans. And then you got to see glimpses of how good he is. Yeah. Uh, that Japan show was fantastic. Everybody saw how good he is. And then when the gloves are off, you know, when, when it's a little bit more relaxed, he's unbelievable. Yeah. Um, the Pat McAfee stuff revitalized him to a lot of people. And I think Joe Tessitori has seen that and he's picked it up. I like him. Yeah. I hope it works. I hope it continues to be good. Yeah. Really dug it. Really good feel good moment at the end. First announcer in a long time, like play by play guy that, that I feel really confident with. Absolutely. He did not shit the bed at all. And he's going to get better. Yeah. Um, yeah. That was raw. That was raw. Good role. Uh, second episode of SmackDown on USA debuted on Friday. Yes, it did. 9/20 edition. Uh, the episode dips under 1.5 million viewers. Now how is that comparative to a regular SmackDown on Fox? Uh, it's down by, at least, at least a half a million, maybe 700,000 depending, you know, but, listen, it's, it's going to, it's going to be like this for a little bit. I think this is a fine number. I don't think 1.5 million is bad for them. A 0.45 in the demo, 18 to 49, which is down from the five, five from the week prior. Cody, Cody Roman at Georgia Tech, uh, to, uh, to do the bad blood deal did 1.1 million views. I'm guessing that's on YouTube, MG. The full match Kevin Owens and the street profits versus the bloodline did 640,000 views. That was on YouTube as well. And Kevin Owens and DIY brawled at 325,000 views. Interesting. That's very interesting. I, that Cody Georgia Tech, uh, Roman thing was pretty fantastic. I liked that a lot. I mean, you know, and you could tell who's, who's all over that. Yeah. You know, you got the drone footage. So you knew. I thought it was really well done. We got a quick question here from Anthony Cruz in the chat. Do you think Braun is going for Goonter now? I think he's going to win the rumble. Braun? Yeah. Oh, God. Rumbled next year. Oh, Braun. Braun, Braun, Braun breaker. We got to be careful with the bronze. Uh, you know what? I, I would, he's going to win the wrong way. You know what? The next two or three years. I'm into that. I'm into him going after Goonter. Um, I just need him to establish more of a presence on TV. They've been doing a decent job with him. I want more. Yeah. I want more too. Uh, I wouldn't mind seeing him, Sammy and Goonter in a three way also. Yeah. That would be a fun little match there. Um, you want to talk about the event stuff? Can I give you something? Yeah, please. Oh, we got another super chat. Oh, look at this here. Uh, trust me. What is this for? Is this Scott Pilgrim? Scott Pilgrim. Yeah. I ripped this out off. Uh, this is from trust the process, $4.99 here. Cody Roman reminded me of you saying WWE is too polished over produced lacked authenticity. They continue veering more away from the essence of wrestling. But I think this is the evolution of what they want wrestling to be. That is what they've always wanted wrestling to be. They want an Emmy, dude. That's what they want. They want an Emmy. And that's that's that's they're building to that they're going to be on Netflix. Listen, here's a difference, right? You could put down a promo where a crazed man is screaming and bleeding and looking at the camera and yelling about crazy stuff, right? You could have that or you could have a well produced high production confrontation like a movie. Exactly. What do I prefer? I prefer a crazy man bleeding and screaming at me on the TV, but I still could recognize that this is actually fantastic stuff. This is what WWE does. I don't look at WWE as a professional wrestling company anymore. I see it in a very different light. It's wrestling adjacent at this point. It's story driven wrestling, the road show. It's a road show. They're cutting house shows. Yeah. Okay. Next year, they're cutting it down and they're going to cut it down more and they're going to cut it down more and eventually just going to be a TV production. Keep these guys healthy. Keep these guys healthy as possible. So with that being said, now, WWE doing what they did with that promo, that's the evolution of the promo we talked about this on Friday. They're setting the bar in an interesting way to get themselves beyond pro wrestling, but at the same time, wouldn't you agree that one of the 10 commandments of wrestling is putting asses in seats? Yes. And I feel like that was a great example of like, because I want to see it again. You want to see it. You want to see them go, you want to see them team up and you want to see them go at it. They didn't have to do an angering segment for that. And I thought it was cool that somebody turned around and said, we can, we can do this this way. Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. So the Vince statement, yes, the Vince statement. Should I read this? Yeah, read it. So Vince put out a statement on Twitter prior to this documentary that's coming out tomorrow. Yeah. About him. It's a six part series on Netflix. Vince put out a tweet more like a press release about this. You want to read it? Sure. I'm not going to do the voice. Yeah. I don't regret participating in this Netflix documentary. The producers had an opportunity to tell an objective story about my life and the incredible business I built, which were equally filled with excitement, drama, fun and a fair amount of controversy and life lessons. Unfortunately based on an early partial cut I've seen, this doc falls short and takes the predictable path of conflating the Mr. McMahon character with my true self, Vince. The title and promos alone make that evident. A lot has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused, the producers use typical editing tricks without of context footage and dated sound bites, et cetera, to distort the viewer's perception and support a deceptive narrative. In an attempt to further their misleading account, the producers use a lawsuit based on an affair I ended as evidence I am that I am, in fact, Mr. McMahon. I hope the viewer will keep an open mind and remember that there are two sides to every story. Man, he sold this for people to watch, huh? Exactly. Exactly. Didn't he try to buy it? So... What is it? I'm very curious about this documentary. I'm going into it with no expectation. I said that and someone got very mad though, like you guys need to do your research. This is a really bad documentary, I'm like, listen, the only reason why I'm saying that is obviously the Janelle Grant stuff is new and it's ongoing and it's also terrible, right? The accusations, but me as someone that has followed wrestling, am I going to watch it and be like, oh yeah, that's just another Vince McMahon story, right? Making Trish Park. Listen, it's all gross. But his thing is it's a TV show and what TV show characters do some gross things, right? That's his argument here. Am I going to watch this and just relive the Attitude Era and everything else that he's done or is there going to be new things for me as a wrestling fan? That's going to say, oh my God. I don't know. Listen, we're all going to watch it. We know we're all going to watch it. I do wish Intern Deacon was here to do his Vince. Oh my God, which is unbelievable. It actually is a fantastic Vince McMahon. It's an amazing Vince McMahon. That we can't ever do on the air. You do half of it. My favorite is when he goes, Sean Michaels? Sean, I need to see you in my office right now. I apparently the sixth, the last episode is going to be brutal. Is it all at once? Are we going to be able to binge this? 3 AM. 3 AM. 3 AM. That's what Netflix releases. That's a documentary. No, thank you. I'll be asleep. 3 AM. So I'll be getting my 40 winks. Listen, I don't know. I want this to be fair and open and honest. I don't know how it's going to be presented because here's the other part, right? We have not seen the final version. We've heard people have seen certain parts of this. I don't know if Netflix is going to turn around and be like, "Okay, what are we doing here? We're in bed with these people for the next 15 years." So do we just blow this up? You know, or do you say, "No, we're making an executive decision here that we're pulling certain things out of this documentary." I don't know if that conversation happened. I think we'll find out tomorrow. Right, right, right. Oh, for sure. Yeah. We got a super chat here from GlassdoorGamer. I think people forget that WWE is also -- hang on, let me put this on the screen. I think people forget that WWE is also a part of this scandal and not just Vince. Curious to see what comes from the SDNY investigation. I will tell you this. I don't know if they're going to charge them with anything, but I will say this about the Southern District of New York. They don't take cases that they feel they could lose. Right. Okay. And you're going to say, "Well, yeah, of course. Why would a prosecutor, you know, a prosecution take a case that they could lose?" No, these guys are a 98, 99% success rate and, you know, I don't know. I don't know if they're going to charge them with anything. I don't know what there is, you know, because then -- because they can't get into he said she said business. There has to be some really hard evidence of abuse. Yeah. We're going to see it fold with the Diddy stuff. Oh, yeah. You know, it's -- I'm not saying it's the same thing. I'm not doing a comparison there because every case is different, victims are different. Well, here's also a pertinent question or statement from the chat. Lady B says, "I just think the timing of the doc with the Diddy news is extremely timely. I think it'll get extra mainstream attention because of Diddy." I don't know. I'm very curious about that. Will there be mainstream attention? Will this be a funny -- like, will there be funny moments like the Tiger King documentary? I'm sure -- again, you don't know anything about this going in because there's obviously there's -- there's so many different multitudes to this where people are expecting a documentary that's lighthearted. People are expecting a documentary that focuses on the brazen character of Mr. McPherson. Well, no, the expectation now is like, oh, this is going to expose him, right? That's what people are going into. That's the other side. That's the other side. That's the other side. That's the other side. It's also, you know, is this going to expose Vince McMahon? Is this going to show us what a real piece of dirt the guy is? You know, is it going to be a fluff piece? Do they barely touch this stuff, you know? I don't know. Exactly. Well, what can -- they didn't interview Janelle Grant, they didn't -- they don't have her attorney on. All they take a go based on is the complaint and Vince's response to the complaint. And that is, you know, I -- you can't -- I guess you can villainize him based on the complaint. At this point, I think you and I and most of the people watching us right now will watch it out of morbid curiosity. I'm very curious. If they're going to do an honest story or they're going to do a fluff piece or they're going to really attack them, I -- I don't know. I don't know. It would be -- it would be wild if it was just like a real six-part expose. I hope. Yeah. I hope. This is a super chat from Preston. Yeah. Do you know how AEW Australia tech sales are going? When on sale a week ago, but seen zero tech sold update. From the looks of the seat map, it doesn't look too hot. I don't know. I have no idea. I did rustle ticks, put anything out. That's one for rustle ticks, right? Yeah. That's a good question for rustle ticks. You didn't mention a few weeks ago of AEW maybe not being the strongest market in Australia. I don't know how that market is for them, you know, and that's not -- that's not a destination place. Right. You know, that's a very difficult place to go to. It's like another planet. Yes. Pest the moon. That's why they sent all the prisoners there. That's why they sent all the prisoners there. I don't know how they'll do in Australia. I don't know if, like, they have a guarantee, you know, with whoever is helping with this that they're going to fill the venue up. I don't know anything about that deal. Sorry, I can't help you, but I mean, let me see, those rustle ticks have anything. I'll look it up while you continue. Should we go into the Tony Con thing? Yeah. All right. The plan is to do a lot of things potentially with the MAX streaming service. In a statement with WFAN, Tony said, "The plan is, I think, to do a lot of things potentially with MAX that can involve a variety of things. We have the shows on TBS and TNT and how they're available now. Dynamite, collision, rampage, paper use, everything is on the table. I'm really excited to have TBS and TNT as a partner for all the great things we do. For the paper views, for sure, we've had great conversations about streaming. We've been doing it on Bleacher Report. They are sun-setting Bleacher Report. We're going to be doing our paper views on other apps. You can get the paper views on other places for now. We're working on some exciting announcements about where to get those and what's going to come to MAX. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can promise you, I'm 100% confident that you're going to have AEW on TBS and TNT for a long time to come." Great. This is after telling Busted Open last week that he's 100% certain relationship between AEW, TBS, and TNT is here to say. By the way, Saturday morning, 9.30 AM, I will be on Busted Open Radio. Oh, very nice. Cool. Are you doing it with Bubba? I don't know Bubba's there, but I know Denise is hosting and I think he can mark. Very cool. Very cool. Very cool.

It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. It's done. I think right now it's in the hands of marketing and PR and announcing it. That's really what we're at. Can I make a confession? Yeah.

TV any idea if it will be coming back once the deal is announced you think Warner Bros. Discovery's holding them back on pyro. I don't know why we don't have pyro Have we got it on the pay-per-views like no fireworks guys? Maybe some buildings don't allow it. I think less less and less buildings are allowing it I'm surprised that they do pirate Arthur Ashe. Hey, I'm black and you're black and you're gone I don't know what's going on here. That's all right It was fine. Do I jiggle it a little bit? Yeah, I will jiggle it.

It was like a pants shittingly loud and abrupt And I'm also surprised that they're allowed to do pyro in that building because it's a soft top Yeah, it's a soft top you think one of them little sparklies we get up there I Don't know I guess they are I mean is it pie yeah the pyros allowed but the fireworks aren't right Yeah, I don't know. Well, I don't know. That's a good question though I think it's some venues that don't allow it, but also maybe they're pulling back on stuff like cut cut back a little bit Yeah, but yeah, I feel like you need I Think at one point everybody who's getting pyro on a w yeah, everybody got a big entrance.

That's good top three guys who never won gold first But you have to clarify slim reaper. Is it the world title or any any gold? Cuz you know, there's a lot of everybody see here's a problem. Everybody gets a title now Yes Like everybody that I'm thinking of has had some sort of title Non gold I would do definitely, you know, non non world title. I would definitely go. We'll all spray Okay, I would go Braunbreaker Okay And you build your entire promotion, and you know what big bill That's a good one. That's a good one It's tough because you want it you have to better picks out. Yeah, you have to think about these rosters and You know does the NXT championship count as gold Does the TNA and ring of honor championship count as gold, you know, are you getting beam?

Oh That's tough any belt I've never had a nice e-belt and a tag title now like any belt. That's tough man The old that would be the ultimate worker the ultimate mechanic like who's the best guy to never hold any titles hmm Very tough But he met these now. He's had he's had the trios belt. Yeah, there's a lot of those guys Yeah, a lot of yeah, it's it's tough. It's tough. Yeah Malachi is either a he sell titles But I'm saying like not the big not the big one. Yeah all right CBD nuts catching up catching up on the stream right now, but do not tell CM punk about your joint banking It's gonna get very mad rich and Andrew and it just has money That's how much we get from Tony Khan because he's paying us. Jake Roberts has never held Yeah, Jake Roberts never held a icy title. We never said that he did Jake Roberts did he hold any title? I want to say I see title. Okay, you know what he never held the icy Okay. Yeah, Jake Roberts. He would be one. He'd never held the title Jake Roberts title win. I know in mid-south. Maybe he had something he was world-class tv champ and w a tv champ Wow interesting. Okay Yeah, nothing nothing on the big the big companies. No, really interesting. Yeah, okay Let's see what else we got here. Can you explain the megan bane a w situation What is the megan bane a w situation? That's a Sean question. What is the situation? It is a Sean question. Yeah, I don't know. That's a good Sean question. Is there a hold up in her contract? I have no idea I can give some insight on this. She was in start on the air. All right, you give me you give me some insight then So basically she was in stardom on But she was they sent her to stardom to get some more more reps for an a w And since then I guess the contract they ended the contract. So now she's not going there She's been working some indies, but I don't think she signed with a w anymore. That's what I know Sean the airfield. I really love that Sean is the one that's on top of that Sorry, I couldn't help you with that mg do super chat. Sean like every day Okay All right, let's see what else we got here Uh, blah, blah, blah, blah Iverson only won the brawn so he's allowed. He's allowed. Yeah, well, Barkley and you in one goal, but not they don't have a ring No gold of any kind. Okay, go pearl jakes nakes the answer berry harrowitz. There we go Brian night asked beyond the bell if a w on max is successful Did we see more streaming services take a chance on tna? Mlw, etc as affordable content, especially since ww's next streaming deal will cost a lot Um Yeah, I think so. I I mean it depends on what they measure success with or there's numbers going to be released I think tna is interesting because they kind of locked into their own thing Um, I don't know if they'll ever go anywhere else Mlw's fascinating to me because they got that 20 million dollars from that. Yes lawsuit Uh, I don't know what they're doing I I think mlw more would have an opportunity Because they're not kind of locked into their owners on a channel, but I don't know I hope it's all successful. I hope everybody does well same here. Yeah, we're it's it's Talk about peaking values of wrestling. We've talked about this on all the programs that we go on um Peaks and valleys. We're in we're approaching a peak. I think We're on the way up. I think we are on the way up. Yeah, we're not there. Yeah, but it's like it's climb I mean we were up and it's settled for a little but I think it's going up a little bit more And I hate to say this you know why I feel like we're headed towards that peak Why because people like to hate on a good thing And now more than ever there are so much online toxicity towards pro wrestling and pro wrestling fandom That you know what they got something here I think they definitely don't want to talk about it people want to talk about it Yeah, and it's very people are actively talking about it For good or for worse. Yeah, and it's most most of them. It's for worse, but people are I actively talking about pro wrestling, you know Uh, let's see here Despite the love it is from tech and sports despite the love hate relationship between c and punk and tony con Can we get c and punk inducted into a potential a w hall of fame? I don't know if that's gonna happen. I mean he should definitely if there is a hall of fame Him daniel since thing. These are all people Potential hall of famers sting is it's things gonna go in first Sting is Sting would have to go be the first inductee. I would also say Don't do the hall of fame until you reach your 10 at least or 12. Yeah, wait. You got to wait There's no this whole hall of fame, right? You know if you've only been there for four years or you've been wrestling for five, you know, like Listen Darby's fantastic, but he's been arrested since what 2016 right? Right? Uh, you know, do you put him in a hall of fame next year? No, probably not Give it like 12 years or you 15 years. Yeah, maybe 15 years then you can be like Brody lee would be the first inductee. You know what? That's great. Great. Well, we're clean Uh, let's see will mcclean great move great name great movie great actor will mcclean Preston 004 uh adds on to the Megan main thing why she hasn't been working on a w tv in the u.s Despite looking so good overseas and like a future star I don't know maybe a contract thing it might just be like a hell thing, you know, you never know. I have no idea Uh tech and sports ark brush off claims Warner owns 30% of a w is that true Andrew? I've said what i've said about this. Yeah, gotta look in the archives. Yeah, I've said what I've said Gotta look in the archives. I don't know if that number is accurate, but Yeah I had a conversation with Eric about that Yes, I remember you calling me about that Uh, oops do roman and cody politic onto the netflix raw roster. I mean, I'm assuming that they would date They want them there. They would date would date would probably want them there for a while, you know Because that netflix thing is a big deal. They're potentially there for 20 years Either five on the low end or 20 on the high end. I mean, this is a they're gonna be there for a long time Yeah Why is there not enough pyro from pile driver finisher What was it? What was the question? Why is there not enough pyro? Why is there not an why isn't there enough and maybe there's a shortage? You know what there might be a shortage of pyro. You know what for the july in my house ate him up There was a lot of pyro. Oh my god. I'm very happy Any other any other party that we have Uh, let's see brian knight asked me on the bell in your opinion Well dana garcy a stay with a w or sign with w. I think he needs an excursion Okay, so he goes to ww. What do they do with him nxt? Yeah, obviously as a good running at he goes after ethan page. Yeah loses the ethan Ethan is a much better talker Good running nxt. I think he a guy like that. I think he needs an excursion I think he needs to go and cover or maybe he's staying and they they elevate him in a different way I don't I don't know what you could do with him They use all the pyro on ricky starks own heart victory celebration. Yeah, I think that they ran out Dude, it's all over ricky starks in the neighborhood signing at He was like he was at the russing universe, uh over the weekend on sunday Does that mean he shows up in some capacity on wednesday tomorrow. He was here on sunday In town. He's hanging out. He's visiting that old sharitan down in flushing He's had to share it in flushing if you know what I mean, you know what I mean boys Uh, let's see is bobby lashley confronting prince nana No, he's not Uh the ed toro lucha brothers are still under a w contract and tony can still resign them. Yeah, yeah It's like a bunch of negotiation, right? They're negotiating with a bunch of people right now There's a lot of negotiations happening. I find that very fascinating to again. We're on that man people to resign We're on that rise. Do we see adam copeland tomorrow? Too early. Do we see christian tomorrow christian's last match was world zen right? Last year. Yeah last year. So is that one? No, or was it forbidden door? When did he when did he crack his foot? Oh, that's right. Yeah It was the gangrel appearance Yes, when was his last one it was uh, yeah, it was um What was this his last match was five twenty six twenty four double nothing Oh, it was double or nothing. Yeah, okay. The four months. Oh, no, not enough four five months. Yeah I'm pumped for the show tomorrow man. It's gonna be good. I don't know why I keep thinking that happened at world zen Same here. I don't know why it's so weird because we were there Because we were there. Yeah, like I saw I was there the night.

Oh, we got one here for a dollar ninety nine Cody ever returns to a w or is he now a ww life or never say never never say never? I think if the opportunity is right he will go But he would show up as the biggest emf or on the plan. You know what? But he has the thing, right? Okay. Yeah, so great Let's talk about this his contract ends, right? First of all, I think he's used to that lifestyle the ww lifestyle is very different, especially if you are the man Yeah, right you get all the amenities. Absolutely get your bus. Yeah, get all the good stuff. I I would say that they would have to throw a ton of money And I think if you gave him a short-term contract It went a lot of money that would that would do some real big business for you Cody retirement tour No, I think he's gonna be there for a long time. Yeah Cody's very young too. Like who's like he's younger than me. He's yeah. He's not even 40 yet I think he is is he no, I think he's uh 37 maybe 38 39 39. He's born. Okay. Okay. Yeah He's a year younger So yeah, he's gonna be there for a while and plus the longevity of wrestlers now Yeah, so so far exceeds the longevity of wrestlers from like 20 years ago.
