Here answering your super chats, your humper chats, so get those in here at youtube.com/fightful. Or over at humperchats.com. Usually this is, well, I say usually, not usually anymore, but often it is the hump with myself and Fightful founder Jimmy Band, however, Jimmy's been sidelined. He's in the middle of a move. That's for those of you wondering where he's been and all that. He's moving out of the city and doing a little bit something else. He'd been planning this for quite some time, but we didn't know how often that it would, he would be able to make it here. So in the meantime, you get me answering your super chats and humper chats. So get those super chats, humper chats in because, quite frankly, if you don't send any, this show will last about two and a half minutes. And if you do get them in, I hang out here as long as you guys want to talk about pro wrestling. So my God, somebody said the stream is going on Twitter, not YouTube. Yeah, it's going on, buddy. It's, it's there. It's up there. I just posted the link, all that good stuff, but get those super chats in, get those humper chats in, I'll give you the opportunity to pass along whatever it is that you want to hear as we hear from our sponsors. Our high pay per view price is getting to you. Maybe MLB blackouts, maybe the insane cost of Sunday ticket, whatever, whatever it might be. VPN.com/fifle is here to help. You get NordVPN.com/fifle, you change your virtual location with one click, maybe you want to be in the West Coast when you can't watch a game on the East Coast. They got you covered. Maybe the pay per view prices are just too high or there's too many of them. Switch your virtual location overseas and get the prices that they're paying there. NordVPN.com/fifle does it all for you. And that's an addition to their password manager. Their protection on public Wi-Fi, the ability to use it on all your devices, including your router, your TV, it doesn't matter.

Well, you know what, in 30 days, if you don't like it, spoiler you will, you can get your money back. NordVPN.com/fifle. So a couple of things that I'll address that aren't super chats yet while you all get some in, Sabrina asks, "How does NordVPN work? Do I have to do something with my router?" You can, but you don't have to. You download the app and it kind of takes care of all that for you. It's very, very easy. Got a bunch of people, which by the way, if you want these questions answered, donate a super chat or humper chat, people saying, "Oh, this stuff about DG. How about this?" I got a Daniel Garcia contract update coming to FightfulSelect.com, best $5 in the business right after this show, we'll let you know, at least the latest that we had heard about Daniel Garcia's contract ahead of his international title match, as CM says, "I hope the DG contract news is in bad. He's one of the favorites by far." Listen, I kept asking, getting asked for updates and I got an update. That's about all I can say is I was able to find out, at least as of, as of recently what the status was and I'm sure that if there is FightfulSelect.com, we'll have the update. There you go. Pay the $5. You get all kinds of great stuff over there, access to our wonderful Discord. The Q&A show that I do every single week over there, as well as the Q&A that Grapsey does every other week. Let's go ahead and talk about this, Marcus, as chances hangman turns on the elite. I think that they need a top big heel on that show and I think he is that guy. I think it will also be that guy in the future. But I look at hangman as a guy that they, first off, they've needed him back for a while and it's something that I mentioned on the air. April, they got back Jack Perry and he has been an upper mid-guard heel. They got back MJF, who has been a top personality but involved with the Hetchissero thing opening match on Forbidden Door. They get back Dr. Britt Baker, DMD in June, who immediately goes into a program with their most famous women's wrestler and now they're getting back hangman page in this elite versus AEW storyline and when they are in need of a big heel. I think he's going to be a heel and I think he'll do really good at it. When you think Ricochet might show up in AEW, now I want to make this clear. I am not saying tonight. I'm not saying that. It could be as soon as tonight. There's nothing contractually from keeping him from showing up at Forbidden Door. There was. His deal was not up as of then. I don't know if it would be tonight because I think they've got the Daniel Garcia Osprey match. They got Britt speaking for the first time in months. You got Daniel Sin and Pac. You've got a loaded show here. I do think you need something unpredictable on this show but you could save this until next week and give somebody at least one reason every single week to go, "I can't miss that show." Where's Ricky Starks? He is at home. Not injured. He's fine. At least per he and AEW. Not injured. Fine. Fightfulselect.com had a big update on him last week. He didn't want to do the big bill split and he didn't want to do that because he didn't think that big bill or at least his claim was. He didn't think that big bill would benefit from losing to him because that's how he thought the feud would go. There were other people in AEW who thought that it would launch Ricky Starks as a big babyface and big bill as a big heel. Do you think Camille debuts within the next month? I can see that happening. I'm not saying it is happening. I could definitely see that happening. I know that they had graphics, maybe music or she might have got that done on her own though. She might have got that one done on her own before all this but they had stuff prepared and all that. Oh boy, somebody is still asking like, "What's Vince Russo's beef with you?" You want to know the beef that Vince Russo has with myself and Denise because we're successful and we're more successful than him right now. I'm sorry if that sounds pretentious. That's the reality of it. He's very jealous of that stuff and he realizes that he can rally up some of the dumbest, lowest common denominator dipshits on the planet and bully people and that's what Vince does. That's just what kind of person he is. Any Natalia updates, I mean, I think she's going to stay. In fact, I'm pretty sure she's going to stay but she was not there this weekend. I don't think she's set for the Toronto shows so I believe she's going to stay but she was not there on Monday Night Raw. She wasn't scheduled. I've heard nothing of like anything ill between WWE and Natalia. We'd be at all in. Any chance of a fan meetup. As of right now, seven weeks away, I am not scheduled to go to AEW all in. From a media standpoint, it would be a lot of money to spend on Fightful for me to go over there and honestly, my heart has not been in traveling lately since I lost my grandmother. I had one trip to Chicago that was planned and then I went on another one for like an overnight quick business. My heart has not been on taking these flights so other than that, I have no work flights scheduled until WrestleMania. Sean, now that it's finished, what are your thoughts on the Who Killed WCW show? Hope all is well. So I liked that more than a lot of other people did. There were a lot of people that were like, "Oh, well, it was Eric Bischoff rehab project." And I was like, "Man, he's got successful shows. He doesn't necessarily need that." But I thought that he took a lot of responsibility for some of the bad finishes that happened there. I mean, it highlighted Vince Russo as not being an honest guy and people thinking that he's ridiculous because he is. I think it highlighted a lot of Goldberg's shortcomings as well, but it also highlighted that, I mean, he was a very, very over-talent. I do wish they could have got like Sting and Ric Flair, a couple other people to talk about it. I wish there would have been a bit of a more definitive answer at the end of it. But I would like to see them do this with some other stuff as well. I'd like to see like an ECW series. There's many of these that I would like to see, but I enjoyed it. But by nature, I really enjoy wrestling documentaries. So that's not that surprising for me. KE775 says they're going to be going to keep waiting until the final 30, 60 days to do new contracts or where they start sooner. I mean, as of now, it appears that they're going to keep waiting until the 30, 60 days. I don't know. I think a lot of it depends on how they viewed, how the ricochet talks went, how the Natalia conversations have gone and what kind of money they would have paid in doing those deals earlier versus getting them done now. Okay. So, Finn Balor resigned this summer, Seth Rollins resigned this summer, Drew McIntyre did, and their deals were within a few months, I believe, of coming up. They were getting close. Damian Priest got his done with a few days left. Hey, guys, I'm here to tell you about eBay Auto. eBay Motors is the leading online platform for automotive dealers to get their inventory in front of over 7 million ready to buy shoppers who are buying cars and trucks on eBay Motors every three minutes, every single day. They make it easy to find parts for cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and more. They even offer a massive selection of new and pre-owned classics. Whether it's fixing, updating, or maintaining your existing vehicle, or finding new and used vehicles, eBay Motors is easy to navigate by vehicle type, category of items, sales, events, or the brand type of car, motorcycle pickup, or SUV that you have. You can shop parts on the eBay Motors app, and with their eBay guaranteed fit, it is guaranteed to fit your ride every time. Head over to ebay.com and find what's right for your ride. That's ebay.com. They hold the leverage in this, being the talent hold the leverage. I think that's very important. I saw somebody who I very much respect, by the way, say, "Hey, wrestlers, don't leak your contract info. Don't talk to them about it. Save it for a surprise." Now, for some people, yeah, absolutely. Again, I don't fault any wrestling fan for feeling that way, and you can't fault a wrestling media person for saying, "The hell with that, let me know." But I can tell you, it does provide an awful lot of contract leverage for talent when they get down to the wire, or people know that they're a free agent. It does kick up buzz about them. It's just the nature of it. Not everybody. There's going to be people whose contract news we break, and people are like, "Yeah, okay." But I mean, Reggie had buzz about him that he didn't have for months before because people knew that his deal was coming up. That's the nature of sometimes it's beneficial. Other times it's not. There are other times. Like Killer Kelly did not want it out there that she left WWE, so she could be announced for Bloodsport, and people could be like, "Oh, well, how could she do that?" When do you think Ricochet debuts? I wouldn't do it tonight if you're doing this big title match, and you know, based on the way MJF looked at Osprey, I wonder, like, how will that progress tonight? You got a lot of the Owen stuff. I would do it maybe next week. Why would they book DG in a high profile spot if he wasn't locked down? So I'm not going to give you any insight right now on the report that we have on FightfulSelect.com, but that's coming right after this show, hypothetically, say he isn't locked down. Okay, why would Becky Lynch be world champion if she wasn't locked down? Why would Damien Priest have money in the bank if he wasn't locked down at that time? I would Drew McIntyre be booked in a match with CM Punk, advertised for Clash of the Castle, and in a WrestleMania world title match if they weren't locked down. It's not the same. It's not the same as Vince seeing that somebody's deal is coming up. Let me tell you how petty Vince McMahon and company were. Guys like Matt Cardona and Rusev, who got released, and people were like, "Whoa, what happened?" They had passed on signing new deals before they got released, and in a couple of cases, their 90 days were up like three days before their actual deal would have been up anyway. So that it was like very much like a formality for some of these. Very odd, very odd. Get in those super chats, get in those humper chats, my friends, Matt Hennessy says prediction who wins Friday, tag titles between DIY theory and Waller, who wins at NXT Heatwave and Money in the Bank in your opinion. So I'm finally running the WrestleMania weekend interview I did with Tommaso Champa. I keep those things evergreen, so nothing really lost ever. We talked about NXT 2.0, DIY, all that good stuff. I think DIY should win. And as I look, let me look at the Heatwave card. I feel like Heatwave could be a good opportunity to have somebody win the title, but not pin trick. Oh, I love the emergence of JVON Evans, by the way. Good God, I love the emergence there. I think Roxanne retains the women's title. Boba Femi probably retains. I would like to see Saul Ruka win, but Kalani just won that title, so probably her. And I can see Chase you winning the tag titles. Listen, I'm a bit, oh man, I'm torn there. I love Ariana Grace and I love JC Jane. I think both of them are going to be long-term main roster talent. Ariana Grace just gets it. I don't know, I think I've mentioned this before, but once upon a time, I thought Denise was going to end up getting hired by WWE. So I started to reach out and talk to some people about possibly being on-air hosts. And at the time, the only one that I got back to was then it was Ariana Grace, who was then, I think Bianca Corelli. Oh man, I would have loved to have done a show with her. I can't wait until I get to interview her one day. And JC, really, really a lot of the NXT roster, because I don't get to talk to a lot of them. But how do you think Rhea will return? I think there's a chance we see Rhea just come back and there's a situation where Dom and Liv are in a precarious position and it just pans over. And there she is. Y Solobel says, "Hey, SRS, how's morale in the AEW locker room heading into the second half of the year? AEW injury updates." Well, let me look. I know I've got an injury update on the ROH side coming this weekend. Let me look here. Let me go to it. By the way, I don't do a good enough job promoting this. We have a resources section on Fightful. You go to Fightful, which by the way, we are in the middle of migrating. The site eventually will look way different and a lot smoother. But you go to the Wrestling tab and then you go down to Resources and we have an injury update, an inactive update there as well. Morale, I can tell you this. Everybody is always on their best behavior at Forbidden Door because, you know, you're working with business partners and all that stuff. But yeah, yeah. Let's see here. What do we got? Oh, Athena, I don't believe she's hurt. I think that's just a gimmick. Just a gimmick. Dax Harwood made an appearance at an indie show. We got Matt Sidel's going to be out a while. Miro, I don't know what his update is. I know he was in Europe recently though. Yeah. Uh, Ty Melo has said that, uh, she is training for return as well. Shye Town Spurs says Garcia leaving in Jericho being prominent with a stupid character would tell me that maybe AEW isn't for me anymore. Listen, I haven't said anything about him leaving. I haven't said anything about it. What are you? What are we doing here? Any, any news on Jamie Hader? I'm going to work on it really hard this week and try to have something for you guys next week. Do you think collision moves nights without the NBA? Yes, I do. I think they should move it to Thursday night. If I were them, I would probably run a three hour block Thursday night rampage and dynamite or rampage and collision. Would you like to see Shane McMahon turn up an AEW from a fan perspective briefly? I think he doing something with the elite would be very funny, but I don't really have any long term desire to see Shane McMahon unless he just happens to do this and he's really, really great at it because, uh, other than that, I've just also how, how do people know the nature of a conversation he was having with Mercedes in an airport? That was interesting. Where's Sammy Guevara? They have some creative plans for him as best I understand, but he's, he's going to be back. He's not suspended anymore. Hasn't been for a while. The else is happy fourth. If given a choice, what would you choose to participate as the first entry, uh, four to the end? Hold on. Rumble elimination chamber reward games. Oh, I listen, I'm never going to do anything with WWE in that capacity ever, ever, ever. I'll just say this. I love royal rumble matches. I worked a 30 minute rumble style match on the Indies a couple months ago. I worked the, the full thing. I went start to finish, but yeah, I would love that. I, I much prefer that elimination chamber, much more dangerous and physical oil rumble, a little bit more appropriate for my conditioning, and I'm not saying because it's longer. I'm saying you can take a breather. People handing you bottles of water and stuff. This is for team AEW for blood and guts. Oh, gosh, I have no idea. No idea. Let me, let me respond to this. Okay, sorry about that. Any guesses for team AEW and blood and guts, um, Swerve would make a lot of sense. I, I would really like Swerve to be involved. We don't know if FTR will be involved, but them coming back and being a part of it would be cool. I feel like it should be primarily comprised of originals though. Yeah, I don't get how the heat wave with one hour pre show gets a pre show match and the main roster PLEs get to and no matches because they don't need to. They don't need to. They can get away with not doing it. It adds intrigue to, or it adds intrigue to televised matches elsewhere. It's just because they don't have to. That's it. One of the odds of Roman showing up at money in the bank. If you say less than 50, you'll break my mother's heart. I'm not expecting it. I don't think it'll happen, but I don't have any insight on it one way or another. I'd say slightly under 50. I think they would say that for a big smackdown noticed any differences in booking philosophy from Triple H compared to his NXT booking to his current main roster booking. If so, what are they? Well, yeah, he had to, I mean, he's still booking a fairly long term now, but back then he had to book because they would tape a month worth of shows at a time. So you would have to work with who was available if, okay, so say somebody isn't cleared the day of your tapings. So guess what, they ain't wrestling for a month on TV. And you can't schedule them for the pay-per-view assuming that they'll be cleared, right? You can't book towards that. You'll have to go in and do like post tapes and all that. So he's having to book for live compared to tape right now and having to book way, way, way more talent right now, way more talent. But yeah. I look at that and I'm like, okay, well, I think he's doing a pretty decent job outside of the women's stuff, the supplemental women's stuff. There's just no rhyme or reason to a lot of it. That's something that I think is a difference in booking, like from a negative standpoint, that contenders aren't getting wins. And that's weird to me. Richie says, since Forbidden Door, I keep seeing people talk about the Manet Vekker match, almost like they're looking for tissue, damn, that's aggressive. Have you heard of people in AEW have talked about the match personally? I loved it. I mean, I really liked it as well. Everybody that I talked to really enjoyed it and really likes Stephanie Vekker as well. She seems to have made a very, very good impression there, but like the goal of this from New Japan standpoint was, okay, we want more people to pay attention to our brand. So we're getting the title on Mercedes and Stephanie, obviously, more people to know about her, but CMLL obviously wants people to pay attention to Stephanie who wrestles sometimes. I think between the 14th and 21st or 22nd, I want to say she had like six matches. She wrestled a lot, man, like so much that I was like, damn, that's aggressive right before this big show, but like she's there all the time. So CMLL wants people to go, damn, that's Stephanie Vekker, let's check out their shit. Should we see Mina and Stephanie becoming all elite? Eventually I absolutely could. I do not know when their contracts expire. I'm sorry. Do not have that information. Any update on Natalya wasn't her contract up in June. We are now in July, is it safe to assume she's a free agent now? I don't assume anything. If something goes quiet like that, I assume there's a reason for it going quiet. So I mean, I know that they had productive conversations with her, but I also know that she wanted to be featured in a more, I don't want to say respectable, but she wanted to be featured in a more effective way, which is why she was happy to go to NXT, which is why she trains all the time, all the time. But her deal was up right around this time. She wasn't at RAW. That's interesting to me. To me, that was newsworthy, but I don't think it's safe to assume. I think she'll stay personally. Do you think Kyle Fletcher dropping to Atlantis means he's in line for more prominent role in TV? I do. So I thought it was interesting they added that last minute match. I know he had a lot of people there for him and wanted to watch him wrestle. Obviously, AEW wants to do work with Atlantis Jr, but I also don't think it's an accident that he was in the shot, the ending shot of the pay-per-view the other day, where it showed Osprey and Swerve. Matthew Hooks have hooked in voiceover says, "Well, more talent want to do a sting light tour for AEW." I'm sure some will, it's just a matter of if they've got the sting impact, and that's not always easy to do. In fact, it's impossible to do for most people. No question, just level. Thank you, Mike Straw. How would you fix the too many titles problem in AEW? Unify the continental international title. I'd say don't rename it the intercontinental title. I would definitely unify those, and I would have the international title adopt the continental rules of no seconds. I would probably combine the ROH-TV and pure championship, honestly, and probably have them adopt a pure rule set. I think they did good with the trios, combining those. I would do women's world tag team titles, and I would probably, again, I don't know why they did ROH-TV women's CV title. I like the FTW title, so I wouldn't quite do that one. I wouldn't quite eliminate that one. Eventually, if there's not a big future for ROH, I would probably also merge the ROH and AEW tag titles. But listen, I'm not hard and fast on that one, but I think there are two or three titles that don't need to happen. I don't think they need to feature everybody's title on their show. Any update on Keith Lee, do you think we get him versus DiJack and AEW? No update on Keith Lee, I think it's just as likely that we see them team up in AEW if that were to happen. I haven't heard anything about DiJack having talks with AEW or anything like that, but he was invited there the other day, so I think that's a good sign. Chances Julia appears in heatwave in any form. I haven't heard anything on that, not a peep. I know that she was discussed for it quite a while back. You know, Becky Lynch, Return It, Survivor Series or Rumble, I think the Rumble makes a lot of sense. Give her her time off. She is very much enjoying her time off, from what I understand. Well-deserved as well, well-deserved. And KE775 says, "Going back to my contract question, do you think WWB regret not approaching Becky earlier? Or do you think they feel she probably wasn't re-signing, regardless, and will return when she's ready to?" I think both sides expect to do work together in the future. And they were both of the impression that, you know, the deal would come together when it needs to come together, whenever she's ready to come back. She wants to enjoy her time off, and as best I've heard, she has been. Since WWE and TNA together, does that mean that the AEW and TNA working relationship has gone stower or are they still cool? So they got to be cool to some degree, because AEW is using the Jeff Jarrett and Christian Cage themes, which I'm told they were just kind of chill about. I don't know if they'd license it or how that worked, but I haven't heard any prospects of AEW working with TNA in the near future, if that says anything. What else do we got? Humper chats. Oh, by the way, I need to check those out. Please send in your super chats. Please send in your humper chats. Aseem says, excited to go to my first dynamite, my hometown of Cardiff, Wales was expecting a quick sell up of my God to have AEW overpriced themselves. Have you had a chance to see what they're charging? I've not, but this has been one of my common criticisms of AEW. Now I do understand that overseas, it's different, and they expect the demand to be higher. I know last year, one of the reasons they didn't do a show over there is because they wanted all in to be the opportunity to see AEW. However, I think that's one of the issues facing AEW's live events, is that they immediately price people out, and I don't think that their show was hot enough for them to do that, to dictate that type of demand. I have not seen what they're charging. I would be very interested to see that. It's not something I follow huge necessarily, but man, I really, I really wish they would do better. Maggie Kay says it should be the Josh Woods title. I think Josh Woods is criminally underutilized. That dude is big, he can work, he looks great, I think he's good. Check out Maggie on coexisting with Robin Maggie Fridays at three on Fightful Overbooked. Alex Silves, sorry to hear about your grandma lost my mom in February, dealing with her house situation, wrestling, and working out as help distract me. Likewise my friend, I expected to spend a lot less time on Twitter after WrestleMania for the reason of I was going to be taking care of my grandmother, and unfortunately, we lost her just a few weeks later. So wrestling since then, I ended up staying in the gym and getting ready to do stupid shit that I probably shouldn't do has definitely distracted me as well. As has, I mean, that discord on Fightful Select has been really, really great for me. So I want to thank everybody that does stuff there. Have you ever done an interview with Roman? I've not. Jimmy got a cameo from him one time. Yeah, Jimmy got a cameo from him here, like you can see it in our hump intro. Let me, let me show you guys. Where is it? Where is this damn thing? I said all the way up here, we've got so many videos on this stream yard platform that it's insane. Good guy. Oh, that's, that's because I'm on the wrong one. I promised myself when I was younger that I wouldn't be like the guy that didn't stay up to date with tech and all that here you go. It's the list and your boy with Jimmy man and Sean Ross set. So yeah, that's where that came from, but how are we preparing for his return? Will he be on both Raw and SmackDown because he wasn't drafted? I know they wanted the storyline flexibility of that. It does a few things. One, it shows the power of Roman Reigns. It shows the negotiation leverage of Paul Heyman. It makes you wonder where will he go? Even though we kind of know where he's going to go, it doesn't make you wonder at least a little bit. It puts that glimmer of doubt and it gives them a storyline reason, not like they need it to pop up on the other brand. You think AEW will do more residency shows with collision and keep dynamite and bigger arenas. I think they're going to be doing that with ROH to add some power to ROH based on those tapings that we're going to see. I do think they're going to keep dynamite and nicer arenas. I think collision should find more intimate venues like that. Like one of the things that I mentioned on that a clip from last week showed that it got some publicity was the fact that I think that AEW should run different looking venues and more intimate venues. Well, that's what they're doing with this collision thing. I wouldn't mind collision sort of being like that. Now I'm not telling them to go full shotgun Saturday night like it was originally. But man, shotgun Saturday night was a cool concept. It really, really was. And I wish they would do that. Could you see ELP working more AEW dates? I could. They do like him. I definitely see that. Most Americans are about to have a four day weekend and no Hollywood studio thought to drop a blockbuster movie today. This is why theaters are dying, Sean. Yeah, I agree. Listen, I invested in AMC right when the pandemic started and the stock tanked. And then when it became a meme stock, I cast out. I go to the theaters at least like once every six, seven weeks. I think it's, you know, it's a fun time. I like, I watched a quiet place the other day, but I watched Beverly Hills cop axle F today on Netflix. And I really liked being able to watch that from the comfort of my own home. Let me tell you, if that was in theaters, I would have been watching it this afternoon and the show wouldn't have happened. But yeah, I wish there were more blockbusters. I wish there were more original blockbusters. I'm so sick of superheroes and all this bullshit. Oh, I just want some original concept movies. It's all when Brian retires from full time wrestling. Could you see him working for both AEW and WWE and a per appearance deal? I think he should. I think he's the guy that has the power to make that work. I think that is, that is very, very possible for a guy like him. I'm not going to say it is going to happen because I know AEW would love to keep him around. But I mean, I also know that his loyalties lie with the previous regime as opposed to the current regime. So yeah, I don't necessarily think that, I wouldn't expect it, but I hope, I think it's possible with him. How much NXT involvement do you think we see at Slam Aversary? I'm thinking the Rascals are reformed with Wesley. Do you think we see more NXT talent? Yeah. I mean, I know NXT and WWE definitely send their recommendations along to who they want featured and to see and all that stuff and maybe to help out some of the people they send over there or plan it, but I don't think there's a lot of planning and who they send over there. You know what I mean? I think they should reform the Rascals. I know they announced new catch Republic because as Wesley's partners, because people were thinking it was the Rascals, even I thought they were the Rascals, they need to bring that together and make it happen. I had heard WWE stand soft and unzack wins like a year and a half ago, including one person that was like, wouldn't be surprised if he got re-signed there. Tongue-ch wins, NXT bound. I ain't heard anything about Tongue-ch wins. I don't know where that came from just because they left Wow. I have never heard anything like that whatsoever. Like, I mean, I just don't know where that came from. I've never known them outside of a couple AEW matches on Dark. I've really never never seen them work anywhere, but Wow, ever. What do you want to see from the mania doc tonight? The truth is what I want to see. And Cody Rhodes had told me the truth is almost unbelievable, almost unbelievable. Do you think AEW does a women's C2 this year? I hope they do. They should do it. Do you know when they did that and they established the Triple Crown, I was like, oh, cool, cool, but then it just became like, all right, it happened. It happened. And fortunately, they were able to get the title off of Kingston before he got that severe injury, but I think there should be a women's C2. And honestly, you could do that and combine a couple of the titles along the way, a couple of the titles along the way. New lack city since on Burchat. When is Jimmy coming back to work? I don't know. I don't know. I wish I had that answer for you. I miss him. Damn. Man, $200 webcam and it just gets blurry, who's been responsible for all the women's story lines in AEW, especially for the women. Again, Peppermint helps out a lot with Mercedes stuff, I know Will Washington helps out a lot with the Chris and Willow stuff, Serena and Ria, I don't know about that one. Seems like they've had less dream matches, which I like and more focus on stories is at Peppermint. She's definitely helped out, definitely helped out and a big part of that with the Mercedes thing, for sure. Bobby White says, I know people thinking, hangman, ricochet, diejack, Miro starts for the wildcard, but I think it'd be cool to have dynamite kid Tommy Billington return. He was great, would be good to see him in the tournament or all elite. I would say there is a less than 1% chance of it being Tommy Billington. I appreciate the fact that you want to see him, but that is not the right spot for him. What so ever, not the right spot for him. I'll tell you what the right spot for you is.

Because bet what you can and bet responsibly. Some of the lines up on BetOnline.ag right now, Roman Reigns slightly not favored to appear. CM Punk is favored to appear in the Money in the Bank or Interfer Money in the Bank match. Braun Breaker is a slight favorite over Sammy Zayn to become new Intercontinental Champion. The Bloodline are pretty significant favorites, some of the biggest favorites right now are the Bloodline, which I think makes sense. Okay, here's a good one, they've got prop bets up there now. So they've got over and under, the favorite is over one and a half ladders broken in the men's money in the bank and the favorite is over 0.5 in the women's. So if you think there's going to be two ladders that get broken, put some money on that. Put some money on that one. Damian Priest is the favorite over Seth Rollins, Jey Uso has become the favorite in the men's money in the bank match and Tiffany Stratton is the current favorite in the women's money in the bank match. BetOnline, I just love, love what they do. Love what they do. Do you think TJ would follow if Natalya left? Yes, I do. I think that wherever Natalya goes, TJ will go as well and he would get a job at least literally any company that she went to, period. Any Alexa Bliss news, is she in or out of the Wyatt six? Is it still SummerSlam? They are aiming for his return. What is her contract status? So that's interesting. It's interesting that you ask that Mr. CJ Lilly because I've been trying to ask around about how WWE handles maternity leave. And listen, there's only a few people I can ask from talent. So unless I find out from Alexa, Carmella or Becky, I'm probably not going to get a good answer on that. But it could be a situation where they can extend it where they just say, hey, that's time that you have served on this contract or they could leave it up to the talent themselves. I have not heard of SummerSlam as an aiming point or anything. I could see maybe fall or something like that. There are some that I talked to that believe that she would want to come back. It's just, I don't want to, I don't want to speak for her, you know, she had a kid, changes your view of a lot of things. But I hope to see her back, especially as it relates to involvement with this, because I think there's a lot of, I think there's a lot of meat on the bone with her and Nikki. Where did you get your fight for light from need one that says Kevin's corner? I've got it from Amazon. I believe. Yeah. Amazon. I've got another one. I think it's a company out of China or something like that. I much prefer the other one. I have a third one that I got on Amazon that absolutely sucks. I'm going to give it away. I'll probably, you know, I'll probably drive it to Cleveland and give it to somebody that comes to the, one of the Cleveland SummerSlam things and see if they want to add it to their studio and make a little more use of it. It might give it to Jeremy or something. Get in your super chats. Get in your humper chats. Matt Hennessey says, bring my dad to his first wrestling show in November at WWE in Dublin. He's not watched in years and he said he hears it's good now. It is good now. It's a whole lot of fun to go to WWE shows. It is a whole lot of fun to, by the way, stop spamming this shit in our chat. You're getting timed out. It's a whole lot of fun. It's a good experience. It's a good time there. Good time there. Cesarean popping up in the chat, they host of Beyond the Bell every Tuesday morning. Make sure you guys check that out. New Black City says SRS have been pounding the table since Jordan Gray showed up at the rumble that we need to stop this fantasy booking with NXT and WWE because I had no hopes. Still at this point, we have not seen any notable NXT talent on that TNA what gives. I think that WWE realizes they can get away with giving TNA talent that they aren't featuring as much. Not only that, I mean, they're reaping all the benefits as well, like that Joe Hendry clip did however many views. WWE keeps the revenue from that, like it isn't shared or anything like that. Demon Diva in the chat. Good to know that she's on her phone and can check messages and the like. Check out her watch a long streams, that's good. That's good. Also, please leave a thumbs up on this video and please comment on the video after the fact. Subscribe, all that good stuff. I would greatly appreciate it. Man, I posted a picture of me catching a mouth on Pokemon Go yesterday. I logged on for the first time in eight years and 300 of you all added me to this damn thing. Man. This isn't a super chat, but did you collect wrestling figures as a kid? Do you have any now? Listen, I have a feature that is right up your alley, my friend, figure hall on FightfulSelect.com because not only did I collect as a kid a couple of years ago and during the pandemic about four years ago, I started to collect them again. Now, I haven't posted new updates or new episodes in a while because I sort of had other things to do there, but I want to say there's like 45 episodes of figure hall that we've had, including things that companies will send me and stuff like that. I mean, we had a good two and a half year run of figure hall on FightfulSelect. We have card hall. We have all kinds of stuff. I think we're going to do wrestling, Blu-ray hall and vinyl hall, all that stuff as well. Yeah, and Cap says, Sean lives in the same city as one of the greatest figure stores in America. Absolutely. Toy vomit, aka toy headquarters. They don't pay me for this. It is just out of what they do, man. They kept me from or actually they helped pull me out of a depression during the pandemic. It was a whole lot of fun going there and always visiting them. And Maggie Mayhem, who's big on TikTok and threads, but you've got to check out that store if you're ever, ever there. It is incredible or go out of your way to visit it. It's incredible. Somebody's saying, can you talk about your rise and how you got to where you are today? I've done shows with Chris Van Vliet, Exynia, Tom Campbell, and Tom Talks rubbish. All four of them about that. And then I did a master class series with a WrestleTalk about that as well. Look, look, I am your favorite podcaster's favorite podcaster. Look at this. Look at all the people. The stars are out. Am I right? They've all shown up and just hung out on my stream. Maggie's here, Zarian's here, Alex Queen of the Ring is here, Demon Diva is here. Look at that. It is just everybody hanging out, talking to me. You'll love to see it. Andrew says, thoughts on the mole season too so far would stay off their subreddit. If you don't want to be spoiled, may also like traders on Peacock. I stay off of Reddit in general. It's funny you mention that because we actually were looking at the traders and we were considering watching that. But the mole is a show. I watched as a kid. I thought it was one of the best, the best reality shows, game shows. I much prefer it to like the challenge because I don't like the drama and the hookups and all that shit. I mean, I think, Andrew, between me and you buddy, I think we know who it is. And here's the nature of who I've got it down to three people. Three people. Pull up the cast and I'll share my thoughts on this show. By the way, if you want a good post show, Demon Diva does do a yellow jackets podcast or does whenever it's in season, but what's the redhead dude's name, Andrew? I can't remember that dude. And either this, either dude's the mole or he's the worst player of all time. But also, I do not like how they constructed it to where it twice during this season, it was very easy to just completely drain the pot being selfish. I don't know if it's like very like, come on, that's a little bit ridiculous. What are we doing here? But I look at it and I go, okay, my three picks are Michael. Michael's the one that I either think is the mole or the worst player in the history of the mole because he has screwed up every single mission, screwed up every single mission. Zarian says he and Queen of the Ring are doing an excellent podcast. Moona also is a terrible actress. Moona is just really, really bad at acting. And then the other one, there's always the possibility of Hannah sort of outsmarting everybody else. But there you go guys, I want to thank you all so much, George or goo goo poo poo since they humper Chet says hi Sean, hope you're well, I'm doing good. I'm doing very, very good. And I hope you guys join me tonight on Fightful Select. I'm going to work on adding a little bit more to this Daniel Garcia story that is coming to FightfulSelect.com. Until next time, we're out.
