So we're gonna take a break and we'll be right back. Stole the ladies and gentlemen, we missed you right, so real quick before we get into some business, right, because the business is important I know you you're missing this wonderful face.

So, gentlemen, catch the world up or where you've been this last couple of months while we've been kind of a vacation.

3:54 But let me tell you something. Oh, okay, So I had an opportunity to go out on the road with a show. I was basically playing a game like where in the country is Hollywood, Jacoby. You know what I'm saying. Had to kind of produce some things, had to get into some stuff, run some stuff, tell people what to do this, this, that and the other. M Yeah, found myself in hot Land, Oh, found myself outside the Mercedes Benzarenia Stadium for the SEC Championship game. This is how long ago this was? Oh? I thought I thought he was about to be outside something completely different. Well, let me tell you something real quick about these LSU cheerleaders. Oh the easy Oh, we don't kiss all around here. However, all I'm saying is, uh, there's a reason that we are currently out of the country at this beautiful beach side. You know what I'm saying, Oh, you'd an gayag girl the free line. Oh yes, a little, a little little little uh.

5:05 You know she got the complimentary breakfast in the morning because you know we got that, we got that complimentary suite. You know what I'm saying. Fine girl. Okay, okay, hey Kobe, we're living up Field, Monica, Hollywood. Okay, what can I say? What can I say? What? Shit? Um? You know? Then found my way up and there, went to Philly. Had a good time in Philly. I'm not gonna lie end up at this gay club, and like, let me tell you something real quick, though unbiasedly, unbiasedly, I've I've always had a way more fun. You see. Ay, you see, I turned my cheer around. But next time, next time you go to Philly, check out this place called Woody. Shout out to Woodies. They were all super nice. I got, you know, free vodka Red Bull basically the entire night from both women and men. It was a fantastic time. I'm mighty trying to smash, but that's okay, all right, Hey, I'll take I'll take a free drink. Whatever you know what I mean, Yeah, exactly, make sure you gotta watch it real close, you know what I mean, to make sure got the napkin over it. That kind of deal.

6:23 But historically, throughout my life, I always had great experiences at those clubs. Like I'm telling you all want a good time straight gay, don't matter, Like, go there, find a good you know what it's like, you have a good ass time, Like it doesn't matter. I'm being serious, Like I like, I had a wonderful time. Like I'm not a big like club person honestly, but like as soon as like I got there, I was kind of like, oh, actually, no, this is gonna be great. Like what am I talking about? You know? Hashtag and noboddy gay? Okay, all right, I love it. Then we went to Jersey and let me tell you something real quick. So Mike, I met up with my cousin who lives in Jersey. Shout out my cousin, Jimmy, we're going. We're going. Yeah, of course he go. We go in the Red Bank, right, which is this little town about forty minute train ride out of New York City. Um, and he's like, yeah, I got the hook up. And I was like, I was like okay whatever. So we walked into this little convenience store, you know, a little dude behind the counter whatever, SE's my spots.

Got the cup around here? Bro, Like what because you know, normally like dudes, they say that that just made cool. He's a frequent flyer there, apparently, because he pulls out and I'm talking about nugs like this fucking big, this fucking thick of just like pill like wi straight up just grass and I'm like, yo, like what is going on here? He's like, yeah, you want something. I'm like, what do you mean?

Like I was like, this is crazy Jersey cool Jersey pass the vibe tests and then back at Emporia and ID return a few things. I had to return a few pieces of gear. Old Dan Lepp came out to give me a ride back to the crib. I mean, it was it was an experience. It was a very fun time.

8:39 Okay, so you've been okay, got it? Traveling? All right? Got it? That's what I got, the whole world tour. Hopefully you got no babies. Monday night, I am in the Islands. Where have you been this pimping all around the world, you know, turntable and apparently. Yeah, I figured I'm when you start getting my ric Flair on, you know, and just start swinging this dick around like a helicopter, like I damn it, brock it. Like let's get the hose, you know what I'm saying, Like the base, that's what it is. Get to the bag, get to the holes. That's the Rick Flair philosophy. That's it. Like if you do those two things, you're make it in life.

9:30 Fuck it, Like I'm in. I'm totally in. Like it worked for him, Like that's true, Like look at him, he's still kicking, still drinking, swinging dick, getting the bag the mission is clear in twenty twenty three is just get swing the dick and get the bag. Like, yeah, it worked for him, might as well. So let us sit on this DJ thing. But I mean the world needs to know, Like, so we have a a producer, Like for real, now we have a DJ. So what's what's going on? How's that coming along?

10:11 It's coming along? Cool? You know. I DJ sometimes old the Ocean Front, y'all wipe, y'all Caucasians. It's like kind of funny out there. But what can I say? But it's cool. It's cool. It's cool, you know. It's just something different to do. It's a cool experience just to be out there, just be like in front of everybody, be like, hey, this is what I'm playing. Y'all gonna put y'all gonna like this or not? Like I don't do a fuck like because I mean, you know what, live your life. Yeah, like try to have fun, rock the party, to get everybody drunk, get niggas fucking it is what it is, you know. You know what I'm saying, Like I feel like I could be the DJ at a party with his drugs in the bathroom, girls giving blow jobs in the bathroom. Nigga's just drinking part in You're like, have you feeling? I don't care. I want to dance tonight. That's what I want. I want that type of vibe at the party with it. It's just like this's cocaine and shit everywhere.

11:07 I just want to cocaine be open and everybody just short and just having a great time. That's the kind of party. Lights everywhere got to be lights to like strong lights like that. That's that's what I want to rock. That was the type of parties I want to rock. Like Bro, he wants the DJ for Rick James, Like this is crazy, Like, well, Monday night. I'm happy that you found a new passion, sir, Like I support it. I love it with somebody to do something new.

11:50 Um, you know, like go ahead for you maybe best life. Yeah, trying to so uh as for me, daddy, this is and I have literally just been securing the goddamn bag, okay, Like that's been the whole damn mission of Team Bishop. All right, the coins, all right, we are out here getting the coins, the bag, the moulah, the cash, the bread, like doing it. That's what we're doing right. Um. I had just been in school, honestly getting getting that paper, you know, like trying to make sure that we double down on the bag Daddy. This has been just busting his ass. Shout out to the mascot of the hardest part of the ring. We're recording this on a Friday night. Sebastian will be ten years old tomorrow. Yeay Sebastian, Right, Um, but I just been sitting back. Yeah, he pretty old, but he'll fucking pmp Okay, So I've just been sitting back, resting up.

12:54 Sometimes you gotta take a step back, right, you know, like just kind of just reinvent yourself, you know, like uh, in the in the world of podcasting and also in the in the world of life. Like I just kind of sat back and I'm just like, you know, I've transcended the better than the best Monica, Right I am. I'm the whole damn show. I'm the fucking franchise. Like right, I put it on my back. Um, so I'm gonna continue that in my real life and podcasting. We're gonna put it on our back. We're gonna keep it pushing, We're gonna do what we gotta do. We gonna have a good time we're gonna enjoy ourselves if we're gonna get the mission done right. Uh So for me, other than that, just been gaming, chilling, sleeping, getting older. I got some more gray hairs. I don't know where the fun they came from. That's what it is. Still because I'm still growing in. Motherfucking a sexy bitch. Get on my level, get into it. If you're not into it, I don't gonna eat my ass with a spoon. Actually, no, get a sport bitch y'all like me.

13:46 I'm my villain phase. Okay, Oh, he's in the villain phase, he says, right. Sh So anyway, not only got all real acquaintance America again. I know you missed us. I know you did well. You probably hanging on the edge of your seat trying to figure out, Oh my god, what's going on? What are they doing? Are they gonna ever record again? Back? Okay? So, um, let's hop right into it. Let's hop into the news. So Jakobe, well let you start us off. All right, Well, here's the thing. You can't have a wrestling show currently on the thirteenth of January in twenty twenty three without discussing the giant elephant in the room, right, and to start it off.

14:39 There's no better way, honestly. And we've talked about this pretty much up until this point Toronto and I about how this is the most ideal time to come back, right, to make the return, because we were gonna, say last week, and then all of a sudden, this bomb came out of nowhere, and it was like, no, let's just push it on. Let's wait till all the facts come out. Let's wait until we get as much knowledge as we possibly can. But we can't push this anymore that people want to know how we feel. Because Javon's father excuse as the executive chairperson of the World Wrestling and point six months he is back in a succession Logan, roy Ranera, Targarian, Deniest, Targaryan, you name the name of Thrones character. He is back in that fashion, and good god, it has just been a whirlwind. Triple reportedly had a discussion with Talent today at SmackDown in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was not very well received by the locker room. From reports that I've read that he is now back.

15:54 A lot of people were not necessarily afraid, but a lot of people were very disappointed to hear the news. And here's what we know. Here's what we know. Here's a direct quote that vice that Vince has brought back, right, so to even get to this position where now he is back controlling this, he brought in two people to the board that he had previously fired to maintain that power in order to facilitate and kind of find that potential sale, like kind of like mandate or facilitate this sale for WWE, And he released the following statement, My return will allow WWE as well as any transaction counterparties to engage in these processes knowing they will have the full support of the controlling shareholder. Right, Vince McMahon is the controlling shareholder. Vince McMahon is the person who will okay the sale of WWE. And now we're kind of getting a lot of mixed reports. There were a huge rumors circulating last night about Saudi Arabia potentially have already bought it, and I want to shoot that down right now. That is not confirmed, nor is it even likely at this point. And I think there are a lot of reasons as to why Saudi Arabia isn't a good partner for WWE, and I know, obviously when you think about it, you're like, yes, they got the money, they got all the money, and that's that's not not true. Of course, we know they have money. I mean, god damn, they got HBK to fucking have a tag team match. Like, they have the money. But the problem is is that it's not necessarily the money that they're

17:29 worried about. It's the TV partnership because they don't want WWE to die. They just want to make some money and still control it and still be able to run it. Right, Well, here's one thing that we know about Saudi Arabia and the relationship with television companies. You look at Live Golf, right, this was supposed to be the PGA's competitor. This was supposed to be this new golf thing, and it's going to have international it's going to have the best golfers in the world. And currently it does. It has you know, Dustin Johnson, cam Smith, it has Phil Nicholson, it has a lot of the best young golfers in the world currently touring with them. However, they are struggling to find a TV partner because like ESPN, HAW it's really nothing to do with Saudi Arabia, they just and you know, you think about it, NBC already has their exclusivity to deal with PGA, so it's very like, Okay, they're struggling to even get their foot in the door with golf. And I'm saying, I think wrestling is probably more popular than golf. But at the same time too, a lot of people just don't feel comfortable taking money from that company, that country, knowing what we know, right, and I know a lot of people thought that Stephanie McMahon stepping away from the board right ousted as the acting CEO co CEO excuse me with Nick Con was kind of a symbol and a lot of people were, you know, a lot of four Chan people, a lot of Reddit people were like, oh, well, that's because you know, Saudi Arabia doesn't want a woman on their board, which is not true. It's not true because one of the two people that Vince brought in to get the controlling steak was indeed a woman that he had fired previously. But here's what

19:00 we know as well, is that Nick CON's currently acting as a buffer between Paul Lavec and Vince McMahon, along with Stephanie who has actually just gotten surgery since stepping away. That's a per Dave Meltzer. So it's just a lot of different things, a lot of different moving parts. This is still ongoing. We're getting new details every single day now. I guess my question to you guys is, you know, what do you think the next course of action is? We've heard a lot of interested parties, right, we get a lot of theories from you know, the con family for example, or Endeavor who just purchased UFC. You get a lot of and you know, we've we've heard a lot of things about Comcast potentially soul owning a fox who already has a thing in there. So kind of just like where would you like, what do you think is the most ideal outcome for this? So I'm tour I'll say this, Vince McMahon, this is his creation, so a part of it, like a part of all of this. He should she should really be a part of it, Like it's something he created from the ground up, so you expect him to be somehow attached to it.

20:12 I would just prefer for him to be more behind the scenes. He still haven't paid the money back from the lab the situation that brought us here, right like that got him ejected in the first place. I'm sure it's some type of legal ramifications from him doing this hostile takeover. So I'm pretty sure that people aren't taking this laying down like it's it's things happened behind the scenes. That's you know that we just don't see, especially when it comes down to big money like this. I don't have a problem with Vince being a part of the WWE. He just needs to be in a corner, shut and shut the fuck up, just kind of like the king with dementia. Just go sit down somewhere and you know, have your title, but just like don't interfere what's going on as for selling it selling the Saudi that's we all know. We all noticed, not the move like it's not even a doubt, Like it's you are messing with so much stuff internally and I don't care about the bag or whatever, like people have. I've seen people do things for money, right, but this here, people aren't going to sacrifice that moral compass, like good people aren't going to separate sacrifice that moral compass.

21:26 That was a lot of the discussion the talent had, like a lot of concerns the talent had because they don't want to work for a Saudi run company, you know, specifically starts like Sammisine, and a lot of the women on the roster, like a lot of them aren't open to the idea of having such a close minded group, right, So you know, like at the end of the day, money is money, and you're gonna go to money is I'm just saying that Saudi is not the place to go if you're trying to get the money A Disney, a Fox, you know something like that. Okay, right, I just don't really feel that the brand needs Vincement Man to move forward. It's been proven that for six months or whatever however long he's been gone, So why now, like, you know, what what benefit this Vincement man bring to um the WW At this point, we can clearly see that his creative direction asn't needed anymore. And it's just like having a seven I say this out loud to anybody, I don't give a shit who you are, Republican Democrat. It's the same idea of having some seventy nine year old white man tell all of us that that he knows best, right, Like the world has evolved, the world has changed, right, let somebody else get this shot. And the thing is is like not to beat a dead horse, but like the company was in such a decent place, like AW had fallen off. The media scrum really took a toll on the perceptions of that company, and WW was kind of thriving on that because they were just like, hey, look here's this new.

22:56 Like you look at the atmosphere at at Clash the Castle for example, right, everybody just seems so energized, so ready, the plethora of creative ideas you could just see stemming from guys like like Shamus and Gunther and Kevin Owens for example, Like these guys are just all energized and ready to get back to work and very excited for their prospects moving forward and everything. And then now you're getting these reports of these meetings and you're getting you know, people you know talent, using the word scared, using the word confused, using the word you know. Um, I just it's very like, it's very interesting just how and a half of a year, you know, you go from being in a in a one place to have a complete one eighty within a week of just living like it's nuts. I'm sorry, what's she'll feel them? It's your dandy, So come up with this bullshit in twenty twenty three, all right, we already know first off, welcome back up.

24:06 You were missed around the office. He was. Message just wasn't the same vibe without you. I mean, no sexual harassment, no hush money, no bathroom blowjobs, got it. Morale is down. Morale was down them. Bathroom blowjobs always lifted morale, and to see them taken away, you know, just was very disappointing. Um well told y'all, y'all to kill Vince to get this shit away from him. Should have killed him when you had the chance. He was never gonna stay retired. Yeah, that it was never gonna be that. The retirement was just hey, all right, let me let me slide back here and chill real quick. Let me let this lay low real quick. Let me get all these investigations and people people to like kind of forget about me and these investigations and shit. He did that, the investigation stopped and nobody talked about it that much or everybody was happy about WW. So he's like, all right, bet money, time to come back. We're gonna sell this bitch because fuck these kids, that's basic. Psha won't shit s definitely get on my goddamn nerves now that that's my own daughter, How are you gonna vote not for your daddy to come back? Fuck you bitch, get the fuck out. That's what it was now and he and now we're gonna sell this bitch. We're gonna sell it.

25:37 He's gonna sell it to make sure it's private so he don't got to deal with the public and the shareholders, which means he ain't really got to deal with the sec and all that ship beat money. We're gonna go private, and then when I go private, I can do what the fuck I want and can't nobody say shit. Nigga's days is number, that bitch. Niggas days is number, like trip you bet it's it's actually the job. You segued perfectly into that because according to the reports I was reading, Shad Khan and Tony conn are both interested obviously in acquiring merging wrestling companies. Right, so two things with that, right, they have said that they would have a role for Vince McMahon within that. So Vince gets what he wants, right, He gets the money and he actually gets to maintain a role of leadership within the company, if that's indeed what happens. And two they're currently syndicated with Turner who used to own WCW. So maybe this is long term booking to get WCW to actually have won Turner ted Turner wins. Think about that, Yeah, think about that. Think about I heard about the cons wanting to buy. I mean, isn't it ironic. It's just it's it's really funny, it's awesome. We've seen that. We've seen the results of that though when one triumphs all like it just we get WWE and what

27:14 was it two thousands, which when was absolutely trash? Um, tell me you didn't like thug anomics. It was just it was just a rough It was a rough product to watch. I love a little competition. It makes it a little better. Um. You know, it's always a third branch off in this timeline where Triplet Stephanie just make their own thing. Yeah, yeah, they get t WG type deal. Yep, they got money, they could do it right. It's just it's very funny to watch this whole thing transpire because they all hate each other. That's how it seems like from what I've been reading from Wrestling Observer, I mean it is. It's not good tidings currently in Stanford, Like it's not good. Yeah, they hate each other and that's just I mean, I guess this is what a business goes like. And Nick Con is definitely to me the pot stir in this whole situation. He's in a good space. He can manipulate the whole thing without the direction he wants to manipulate it. Well, it's funny because like so at white family gatherings, who play this game called rumors, and what you do is everyone sits at the table, side by side, at the table around the table, right, and what they do is the first person says a rumor, and by the time it gets back to that person, if it's the same thing, then you win. But normally it's just to make funny, right, It's normally just like okay, like, let's see what happens like down the line. Well, if Nick CON's the one who's

28:45 running back and forth talking about she said this, and he said this, and she said this and he said this, who's to say he's not spurring off a narrative or two to try to help further his cause, whether it be to self for a certain company that maybe cuts him a better slice of the pie. I don't know. There's a whole situation that's messy as fuck. Um and and and the funny thing is the best is yet to come. We're gonna see more masks. Oh yeah, best case if I what's the best case scenario, some other ship comes out about Vincent, Man, he has to really leave this time. Some even more serious shit comes out that he killed somebody, yeah, like blinking him, Like now you know what they always used to say. He has something to do with the Jimmy Snooker murder that he was involved with. Right, Hey, evidence all of a sudden now pops the fuck up and implicates him like it's I think that's the best case scenario is to get Vince, to honestly get Vince away from the situation. Yeah, because anything else he liable to do. Some fuck shit like y'all brought up the sawdise Oh, I have no doubt he was selling them, no doubt. If mind, he would sell all them because they would give him ultimate power. They will see them be like, Vince, you do whatever the fuck you won't and Vince would be like I I mean, of course, like I'm not saying that they're not a bad buyer, but the fact is is, like it'd be difficult for to navigate because like I said, they don't have decent relations with any television sending the kid

30:18 domestically. So yeah, but that's dim if they let if the saal these were to buy it and just stay the fuck over there, sure and keep the same way you're just the leg and just continue to let Vince and Nick con do their thing, then I worry about networks. Networks won't give a fuck. That was honestly, wouldn't give a fuck, Like yes, if it saw these same over and start trying to change stuff, or you saw some start to see some salty influence, Dan, we might have a little bit of problem. A long they just buy to just stay out the picture, right, that's mind could be all right, you're right, but that's something that's that's um, that's something that I don't know if they would do, just because like I mean, you look at the live golf stuff.

31:02 It's very it's very obvious, like hey, here's this product that would be awesome for these fans, and they're just like we can't get anywhere domestically, nobody wants to work with us. But if you have Vince as kind of like that middleman, or Nick con As a middleman with like universal peacock, right, all of a sudden, it's like, okay, cool, we're just gonna go to Comcast entirely. And then USA gets both smacked down and raw, Like I don't know, there are just so many different endings for this. I just I don't even know what the ideal one would be. So let's move into a more positive note, like I will go next. So if this gentleman is not Sean Michael's two point, oh what is he?

31:45 Like? It's the rebirth. It's like a phoenix. That's reason Adam Cole it's bad. And he gave us a beautiful rendition of Sean Michael's lost his smile last week on Dynamite. Adam Post have been out for months and months and months with a shoulder industry double concussion. He really let us into his world, let us into the athletes' world for real, like what it really is. We have seen some very traumatic accidents that happened with athletes across the board. In football. You know, like especially the Dolphins quarterback with his collapsed to got at the cardiac arrest for the Bills last week four last So these sports are real. So Adam Cole a lot of us in all.

32:38 I mean, what it really is to have concussions, right, couldn't draft fifteen minutes without throwing up, you know, like the anxiety of pacing the you know, blah blah blah blah blah blah. At the end of the day, I feel that this is a perfect storm for Adam Cole to come back because when he was there current, he was gonna be lost in the mix. Now he is the mix. You know, you can put him anywhere in any situation. Uh, he's gonna win, and we're not relying on old shit. Kyla Rilett's not there. Um the other what's the other one's name because he's irrelevant? Probably Fish. Oh yeah, I haunted that one. Whatever. Nobody cares. Um he's gone trying to talk shit to se him punk whatever. Um. But I'm happy to see him back.

33:31 What do you guys want to see Adam Cole in the mix? Personally, I think that him coming back is a face makes so much sense because right now, if you look at the top, like, who are the biggest faces in the singles division currently? Right? If you look at the main event, you got Paige and Moxley, two guys that we've kind of already seen, although Page did get the win yesterday, and Daniel Brian Danielson as well. Right, Adam Cole kind of breathes a fresh sort of I don't know, like a fresh, fresh character for this thing, because right now it's just like it's the four. So you had him. That's a fifth option to all take down or go against MJF currently or I mean or Brian Danielson, depending on what happens. I think it was the right call.

34:21 I think that he's going to come back as a big player for them. I don't really think I think they that the Elite storyline without him having a third isn't really in the cards currently, So I think why not just have him kind of compete, get reintegrated, and then go back to being like the fifth main eventer. I'm all about it. Yeah, yeah, what you feel about Cole? You always got a fan? Yeah, glad he's bad. They need him, they need they need something different up there. I'm now starting I'm starting to grow tired of the same Moxley page, right, Danielson kind of like MJF kind of like mixed at the top because it's like when they're trying to do their damn, it's not to throw Kenny back up in there. So yeah, like it's obvious. So and it like they're not gonna put nobody else, Like I think it's far time for like a Pock or penta Phoenix who tribe wanted them again? Maybe move u Alaki Black up a little bit. It's overdue for somebody new to be in that picture, you know, So I'm glad it Hopefully it's Adam Cole and we can see what he could do. Is is now a baby things because he's always been a good heel h Yeah. And and if you know he wants to do still do the undisputed the league, right Sam, Sam, if you still want to do that, right now, you're finding somebody new and fresh so you can keep because Kyle still is on the roster, he still has a contract. Now you find somebody, you find somebody knew to

35:54 plug into that third spot like a hook, right, Yeah, that's not doing anything right now, Like yeah, I mean he's working with Jungle Boy, but you find a hook, you find a day of Garcia, because there's still the Jergos society. It's not a it's not working for me with him, My stay on him. He's even Brian Pillman. Brian Pillman right, like, you have so many selections to fill into that third spot. You can create something fresh and new that we haven't seen before with a different combination of people, and I would really enjoy seeing that. So I like this one. Or he could do a Scorpio Scott just because he's not doing shit, you know what I'm saying. I don't know if he's injured or not, but it'd give him a time to get back on TV. With his talent. There's no reason that he shouldn't be on TV, absolutely right.

36:40 The only thing that's going againt Scorpio Scott is he's black, like we are, you know, I mean, like fact, javar Let's calling a buck. Okay, come on, guys, the Acclaimed are the tag team champions. They're mixed. Let's call him a buck. But and have a gay and they have a gay and we all know gays are in so right, gay the gays are. The gays are in okay, like it's like the new stylarge handbag. You know what, right? I remember back in the day when nobody even said gay like you know what I mean? M M now now here, now here, we are at the top of the mountain. Yep, there you go, congratulating. They're attacking drag queens right now. So they forgot about the just the level one gays like, you know what I mean, They've they're they've elevated their attacks. M hm.

37:35 You if there's one thing we know about wrestling, then dress up like women all the time. Girl. So okay, mister mother night, what do you have for us? What do I have? Okay? Ha ha ha Bitches, y'all really thought Mercedes was gonna sully herself and come to a ew ha ha. I hope all y'all were mad. Oh my god, why are you so patty as crazy as hell? Boy? Y'all just had your little panties in a ruffle when Sasha didn't show up, when it was just sad and Tony Storm, y'all was upset. I loved every minute that.

38:24 Now, even though even though Wimer said these one two things though boo, now you out here on your own, you out here away from the warm embrace of WWE where we could protect you. One. I'm gonna need you to work on that move you did, Boo because that ship was gard Off. I'm gonna need you to work on him. Okay, please do because that shit was for your first time out. That was trash. That was trash. Two. Go ahead and get Snoop on the remix a sap. That theme is not hitting the way presidentally constructed. Call up Snoop, get him on the remix. We m do better, do better, do better.

39:04 It was giving me, It was giving me family dollar. It was giving me like it was giving me b side. It was giving me, Uh, I just do this together environ minutes right like this ain't finished, This is unfinished like it was. It was actually really serving unpleasant like that's it was certain the whole situation from pillow, the post, even the hair girl like hill that was number that was number three. I'm glad you said something that was number three, Sasha, love you Boom, But um, I don't know who let you walk out the house with your hair like that?

39:45 Who thought it was what hair thrusher? You told this idea too, and they said, yeah, let's do it. The fact that it didn't have your better interest at heart disturbs me. It's an evil world we live in. Yeah, it's like a spotted cheat up. What the fuck? Like you got going on multi colored shit like oh nah we see true yea mm hmmm, nah you girl, you get why are you doing that? I mean, I get the concept, but you could have found some barrets or something to put up reaching your fucking hair, a headband something like you gotta you are you are fucking Sasha ba Son't you got a gay friend?

40:28 Obviously not obviously not n damn. Like it was the whole Like I said, it was really given like Friday after next for me, which was like real low budget. Okay, yeah, so I'm gonna need so Sasha. I just I just want to say, I hope you out here having fun. Well she's a weird. All this shit out, get all your ship out your se because this little phase you want to get it out your system. We're gonna give you about six months to a year and you can come on come back, you know, Royal Rumble twenty twenty four, Come on back. We'll have a WrestleMania main event ready for you and shout your system, go to Japan, do all these matches. Ain't nobody gonna watch that.

41:15 Dave Melts are probably gonna get six stars just because it's because the Japanese bitching. Then like, yeah, go ahead and get you get your rocks off, Get your rocks off, will they mustle like he sniffed feet. He looked like he just takes feet like anybody, you know what, and not just anybody's feet, like anybody's Kitty Omega's the Bucks female star. You know, don't know? He on the feet like white on rice. Especially after a match. Oh he won them all sweaty. So, gentlemen, that was the news. I enjoy talking to it, talking about it with you guys. But we're gonna take a break. We're gonna digest and take all the mental images of Dave Meltzer's stucking toes out of our heads. So while we do that, y'all sit back and hang out. Oh shit, hands on my knees, bitch. Just working for Jesus. I do a lot of working for Jesus, as you should. I only work for the Lord and Daddy Dussy, you know, don't look at that, look at God, look at Jesus and everything he can do. Girl craziness. You're like Shawn Michael's, like, we took this break. Now you all of a sudden, you're like Shawn Michael's teaming up with God. Oh Jesus.

42:51 Black folks don't play with the Lord. We can't do that. Well, we can't play with is the state of where wrestling is right now? We can talk about that. And I'm gonna start off with aw the media scrum, we have to go back to go forward, Lady Jim, see them pump media scrum, The Bucks people get suspended, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Let me give you my hot take right now. I can't stand the Bucks. I can't stand Kenny Omega. I never liked them anyway, and just showed me that they would spoil immature brats that cry and bitch until they get their fucking way. See them Pump, same thing. You are a very big egotistical man, both of you. Set some idiots should really realize that y'all are the most powerful combination of people in wrestling right now, and you can't get out of your fucking way. Yeah, and I don't get it, Like I just I don't get it, Like I just don't understand. Bitch, I don't understand, bitch, don't understand.

43:53 Oh oh, I know whatever, I just don't understand for real. I'm serious. Like if they would just egos aside and just work, they would, we wouldn't even be having a conversation about WWE selling the whoever they We wouldn't care. Yeah, so right now, Tony Kahn, he's been quiet, he's been chill. Rebranda adw. I'm feeling it. It's cute, you know. I love to look call us. We're moving up, We're real America. We're feeling our oats. We're giving it to him, you know, blah blah blah blah blah blah. But you can still feel the drag of the scrum on the show. It's like the ship staying in the draws. Yeah, it hasn't been cleaned up yet, and it won't be cleaned up until you either put Punk to bed or you bring them back to TV. Yeah, really, until we know what his next career move is. It's kind of like, okay, there's like always kind of that threat like he might come back right right, and it's not a threat, Like, I don't that's not the right word, but you know what I mean, Like it's like it looms over the guys right like, But I don't think Seampunk was all bad. I don't think he was all bad either.

45:13 I mean, Uncle Dax has gone, you know, to bat for Punk since the scrum is, you know, recently talking about how he never had an issue with see him. Punk always saw him as very open to the young guys, saw him as very as a resource for even himself and for Cash Wheeler. Like it, they literally just caught each other, like he just got caught up in this in this rumor mill and this like drama that was that was started by like a rumor that wasn't even true that we've discussed on this podcast before. I understand how the people had like you either brought him all back, you've brought out of him back. That's just how I feel, you know what I mean. And I understand people say that's all elite wrestle. It's not all elite wrestled out the elite. Do you think those thing's gonna say that ever? Probably not Pody left, It's true.

46:07 I just don't. I don't get it at the end of the day. Also, Tony Connie is around himself by people that's not idiots. But that's the next thing he needs to right. He needs to get a like a creative team, an executive board, somebody around about him that can kind of point him in the right direction, because his maturity level really showed, uh during this whole process up until this point. He's a he's It's like, it's like giving you a teenage kid a Lamborghini. Hell yeah, and coke? Oh my god, we know we know all that and the booker sugar. You know what I'm saying. So, I mean, what's y'all?

46:50 What's y'all? Takes on that? Like? Aw right now? How you feel feel good? Bad? Let's want more? What do you want from AW in twenty twenty three? I want more creativity and diverse city is what I want? Um what niggas? Is that what you're saying in part? But I can't you know what I'm saying in part? I just um, I want more. I want more creativity. I'm tired of the we have a heel champion. So by de facto, he has to put these people through these trials to get to me, Like, I just like MJF has the same storyline almost every time he has the cards, Like Brian Damison has to keep winning matches every week to get an iron Man match at Revolution, Like just like how you know CM punk had to take on all these people, How Chris Jericho had to take on all these people, How Cody Rhodes had to take on Warlow in the cage. Like I'm just I'm like, okay, great, Like this is the fifth time we've seen him do these stipulations before, and I'm just kind of like, can we get some some changes? Can we get some ativity here? Because at the end of the day, like he went out there and had like a Dean Martin roast on Wednesday Night and like roasted these like sealess celebrities for no fucking reason.

48:10 And I'm like sitting there and I'm like, okay, yeah, like yeah, I didn't watch She's All That until we did the movie podcast because I'm, you know, a ninety six er, but like did did coming out and making fun of fucking Fred from the live action Scooby Doos make you a bad guy? Like we already know you're a dick, Like you don't even have to come out at this point, but you have to. I mean he's obligated to, of course, but like he could have had the same effect that he had on Commentary, for example, as opposed to coming out there and having this weird, awkward roast after Takashita fucking comes out for his entrance and then I'm talking about two, take a shitt up, get over yourself. Like it's like, let's let's be a little bit more creative, you know, like let's act like we're here, act like we care.

48:54 And it's just frustrating. It's like, okay, like I get it right, We've seen we've seen it before, and I'm over it already, Adam page over it or it's just over it. I'm not. I don't want to say that. I'm not at that point yet, but I am at the point where it's like, damn if this is really what we're gonna do for every single one of his challengers, and when he holds the belt, I'm not. I don't want. I don't want. I want to lose it Revolution money night. I'm very interested in this. I think, aw they're in a good place. They ain't in the best place, but they all right, it's got a heart with them, you know what I'm saying, Because it's like, you feel like it should be better, but it's like, well, what you're gonna do to really make it better? Because I almost feel like they've damn they're giving us everything already and now I feel like it's like I'm like, with the exception of what Jay winning losing the match from winning the women's championship, with the exception of where Adam Cole winning a title, or I feel like I've seen I've seem like you, they've rushed and given us all the big matches we want to see, the big feuds, and now I'm like kind of struggling. Now it's like, all right, so what are you gonna give us now that we ain't that you ain't on giving us, because now everything's starting to feel like a retread.

50:24 Sure, you know, it's like now when y'all gonna start really elevating some other people, you know, when we're gonna get something new, a new world champion. Like granted, yeah we got mjf It took all the time, great job, you know, but you have this with a compelling story before he won the title, and now It's like that story just went away like that through maybe no fault in his own or their fault because he had to ain't shit up, but she and replace it with nothing else. You just gave us the two gold ship, like all right, Well, they like they act like it didn't exist, Like you know what I mean, hey, Like it's like they don't even reference it no more like I would have loved to see it go further, to see some tension between m JF and Tony you know what I'm saying, Like I ain't get none of that ship. And now here we are, and it's like that whole division fields just kind of like it's I don't want to say stale, but it's creeping there. And then when you got the women's division, which I honestly say the women's division is getting better. Yeah, like putting that belt on her it was an excellent move. And now it allows some more depth to that division where now Brick can go down a little bit and work with other people and everything bringing in Soreya. Now you got Tony Storm. We're just waiting for thunder rolls and to get bad. And you still got Jade waiting in the wings that division is not bad now, it's really not. I really

51:58 fuck with it now, Hey, stop putting on Marino on TV. I'm gonna say that for one. Stop that bullshit because don't want it. Nah, it's very clear we do not want that. Leave that on Dark. It's Dark sill a thing. Yeah, Dark is definitely still a thing. Motherfucker's is on Dark for life. Like y'all realize that Private Party has a storyline on Dark? Did y'all know that? What? Who watches Dark to know that? Well? You know it's they keep Private Party there. And I don't mind watching every now and then because they throw a good person up there, like I don't know, Moxley will be up there, a page will be up there. So I'll watch every now and then for them.

52:42 But they keep Private Party. They're staple or Dark. They're like they are as staple good, but they need to be good for them. That's where they need to be. I'm glad. You know. The disrespectful part for me, Jabar is you know, we have Ring of Honor and then we put this ship on a ten dollar premium show. But what figure? So you so really so really they want you to pay ten dollars for a ring of artom, which is essentially dark, right, right, but then turn around, want you just but then turn around? Just give dark the real dark away for free, y'all. Niggas is tripping. That's that's another thing they need to work on. They need to really figure out what the fun they want to do a Ring of Honor, right and freaking do it, and it needs to be separate from here on out. I don't need to see the Ring of Honor stuff on Dynamite no more. Or Rampage. Maybe you want to throw it on Rampage whatever, that's the beat show. I don't care, but I leave that ship off Dynamite. Who's the ring on the Tampia? Like, I don't even know anymore? Like, no, he lost the belt? Um, he lost the belt to Jericho. Then Jericho just lost it to and he lose it back to him. No, no, mad Man, he lost it back to Claudio. Yeah yeah, that's what I said. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the whole problem in itself, right, Like I don't need Claudio with the Ring of Honor title. I'm sorry. I thought I thought he was a bigger deal than this ship. I could. If that's the case, that y'all

54:12 wanted for Claudio, we could have sent his ass back to n XT like we could have ring the belt like and put the belt on them like god like ring Honor n XT. Stop fucking around, fuck dark ring of Honor. A w ring of honor is NXT to WW. That's what, that's what this ship is, exactly what this should be. And put that shit on YouTube. Stop worrying about TV. Becaugene gonna find it. Put the bitch on YouTube, get rid of dark and dark or if you want to keep dark elevation because you really want to show, that's fine, but both of them can go. Put Ring of Varna on YouTube and there it is sold. Your problem, right, you got, you got, you got to belts already set up like you don't have to do shit right like trying to make this hard. And one more thing for ab going into New Year, and I know this is gonna be controversial, but it is what it is. Here we go. We don't give a fuck about New Japan, my boy, you watch, we don't like I'm sorry, like nut like for real, we don't, y'all. They'd be throwing this New Japan ship in there like everybody watched this don't come on TV, like, how we posted? How are we posted to watch? How are we poposed to watch him? Know exactly what's going on between Okada and you just haven't popped the fuck up in j White, Like, we don't know what's going on.

55:35 They just random ass niggas us we do they are? They are randos, like you just throw them out and expecting the whole arena to know. Hey, that's a call to NAB. About twenty five percent of the arena knows who the is. The other seventy five is like, yo, who who? Who is this nigga? They're like, hey, who is he? Who? Who's wrong? Oh? He's a bit? Oh he frost in Japan? Oh okay, okay whatever, We don't care. It's interesting though, because Jay White's contract is set to be up next month, right or around very soon as the quote that's he going to WWE, Like we I'm under the assumption that you're right, but I don't want him to go to n XT. So okay, well that's a great transition, right, Like, so let's close out aw we know what's going on there. Let's go into WWE's pocket. In twenty twenty three, that WWE. The back half of the year has been the ship. Like this has been some of the best TV I've seen in a long time. And it's funny that you know it's good TV where you don't even have to watch it. You can get snippets and know everything that's going on. Right, the fucking bray Wyatt shit priceless, like you know what I mean. Like I'm enjoying the build up today. I wish La Night one involved, That's for a whole other reason, but I love that Roman reigns the bloodlined girl like da means, can

57:07 they do no wrong? Clash at the Castle right, Oh my god? Like yo, like this shit is real, Like they have put it on the greatest TV on all three fronts. NXT don't feel like Black and Goal in next seed. It don't feel it's something missing there and we can dive into that if you want a little bit. It's something missing on NXC. But the SmackDown Rob brand stuff is really good. The only thing I want to see in twenty three three we need to get the belt off of Roman and put it back on the brand so we can go ahead and see some other champions. And actually I want diversity in the belts now, like, let's bring back the world title, Like I'm ready for it at this point, Like I know, were holding back maybe for you know, like maybe for because it needs something to Cody m We hold him back for that, but we need to bring back I want to I want to feel a difference in the titles. Does that make sense? Yeah, classic design. Please, for the love of fucking God, do not fuck with the World Championship, Like, don't modify it. Huh said No, I should go back to the to the old bat WCW title. Yeah, don't, don't.

58:25 Don't fun with that belt just and then you still keep the Universal Championship, sure, because I'm okay with that, you know. Like, but other than that, I think all the champions are in the right place, Like I'm feeling it. The tag team belts, the tag team division, keep that the way it is. You unify that shit, like because you don't give a fuck about tag team wrestler, where you don't need two sets of tag team champions, you need one to go between the shows. They will ask blah blah blah blah blah blah. But Triple H I feel like he's done a great job on all three brand Shawn Michael road Dog being on NXT. It's rodocs are there? You go back? Thanks? So yeah so if rigs back as well. Um so enjoying all of that together. But it's just been really good. The thing that's missing the NXC, there's no like character, Does that make sense? M Like, there's no soul, It's just a body. The body's function in the way it's supposed to be functioning. It's just no like Johnny Gargano Champa like, it's no like, it's just not there. But I enjoyed the show. The female division kind of trashed too, but that's uh, neither hito there r ip Mandy Rose.

59:45 Let's talk about it like, I mean, personally, I think they did her dirty, bro. I mean, I didn't think it was that big of a deal, but evidently we all due respect. Page was not at all with the title there you go and still had I'm not being a b I'm not bringing it up to be a dick. I'm just saying, America, she still had a job, right, This is her job. This is paid content behind a paywall. What Albert, are you just mad because you couldn't smash my nigga, you couldn't get in the cheeks? Is that what you mad? Sure he had to go I'm sorry, bro, come on, bro bro, nothing like can't be doing like come on now, there's levels to this shit like yeah, you straight up fucking showing the pus. No, we have a family company out of here. Come on.

1:00:42 Man got mad about paid content, paid private content? Yeah, but hold on. That happened in an era where we won't insensitive as fuck. We saw completely he could do shit like that back in the nineties and can do shit like that when nobody bad eyelash like yo nowadays. Ah, y'all. She was still I mean, okay, jabar okay, let's I'll dance, she says. She's showing them puss right right, But how the fucking payball? If she wants to do that, that's fine, But you can't do that and be a ww employee. That's where the ship, that's where the line gets drawn. If she wants to do that, that's fine, but you you're doing that as a w w E superstar. The only reason people come to your ship is because you are Mandy Rose WWE superstar. We can't they can't really have themself attacked like you literally a porn star. Let's keep it a buck. You are literally a porn star. Nah that week, mom, bro okay, where she fuck? Come on? She fucking yes, she doesn't. There fucking she went. Who's who the nigga she went in wrestling? Uh Tino Sainderella. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they fucking they fucking in the videos. Yeah, she up there, she's up there. Pop. Yeah, they say't like no pictures she out there,

1:02:12 fucking nah. We might could have let the pictures slide. Lacy's still here, Zelena's still here. We could have let pictures slide. Do a little nip slip that money go ahead. They they you hardcore getting dick. Nah, there's a lie. There's a lie, naa. I'm just saying, nigga, that's gonna end up on porn humb it's gonna end up for AXT videos. It's a rap like I'm just saying, brass, I'm just looking yead like she jam. I'm just saying they had to pay for it to watch it. That's all I'm said is somebody to be had to pay for it. They gave they gave it some or somebody had or you know what, somebody unna be at to pay for it. We had to find out which one the n x T niggas pay for because somebody brought it. Somebody brought it the Albert's attention be like an stick at this ship. Somebody because he wanted a title shot. Somebody, Yeah, somebody brought that to the attention Like, look, I'm sure she'll be I'm sure she'll be bad.

1:03:16 She ain't hurting, and real talk. If I'm hurt, I ain't gonna hold you. I ain't coming back. I don't need to. If I can make a meal, If I can make a million in a month off of just sitting in my house showing my titties, showing my puss and getting dick from from and having sex with my significant other, why do I need to put my body on the line in the wrestling ring and be going around from home two hundred and fifty with our nights a year. Na, get your bad boot, get your bad If you really want to wrestler, go to Impact. You can do that once or twice a month, and you out and you're still making your bake like you ain't seen a puss. Be honest. No, Now I've been to do busy you see, but no, like I don't know, I feel like thee got the thing coming out of your mouth. You see Mandy right down there, she looks right down there. I'll give it that. I look okay, Mandy. But like a lot of them are starting to do that now. I mean gg Dolan has like an exclusive Instagram like the fuck you're just gonna pay for it?

1:04:24 Like, I mean, no, I saw it. I saw it like as like a thing. Well you trying to lie front of America. We all know how you feel about. Shut the fuck up. You can get it out ready for anybody. Goddy is Jake is getting Reddit for free, bro, Like it's really not that. Oh yeah, don't Reddit boys be on top of you if you have they do almost all the words like them isnt people. Nates people are fucking Reddit people. I'm telling you makes the Reddit person. Yeah, exactly, there it is that here it is Nate. You tell Nate to found a butthole. He like you feel like, oh I did see this person. He was like, okay, I got say less. Here gre's the booty hole, like high fresh, here's the booty all right? So so Mandy, right, okay, Jake what else you feeling about WW twenty twenty three. Um, I'm curious as to why you're not stoked about La Knight and Bray Wyatt. Actually I'm about it.

1:05:30 Foolishness with gray white always some fucking foolishness, not always Tom foolery. That's the first thing. Second thing is l A. Knight's name needs to be something different. I agree with that. Un Like Max Dupree wasn't a bad name. I could have went with Max Dupre s La Knight like Dor and been good with that. Max Dupre, I'm sold. Okay, I'm mad they stick out those other two niggas running around like some bottoms though. That's my problem, don't they trying to represent the game is like that? We nah, we don't want that, Like we want to be all TV sunny kiss. Okay, that's where we want to be, like represent us the right way, don't nah? Not his current company, My man out here running so my man on wwe out here right around in some Cuprix shorts like up to his fucking asshole like and that even premium content you get to see his asshole for free? Hi? So what else you want? From twenty twenty three From w w e Um, here's something that I didn't think I would say going into the year wrestling. Oh, I don't want Cody to win the title at WrestleMania. I want to win the title at WrestleMania.

1:06:47 This nigga. All right, go ahead, I'm all right, ye okay, here we go. Who to win the belt? I'm telling you the Sammy Zane turn to lead to a title. Okay, you know what I can. I can rock with that. If Caldi can't get the other belt, that's it. Like I rock with it. If Roman can defend the title at WrestleMania both nights, one night against Sammy, one night against Cody, and Sammy get universal title, I'm all for that shit. Go ahead. I'm just Kevin had the university title. Like so, I'm okay with Sammy having the university title and it'll be his first major title first like world championship. But my thing is, like he can he can wrestle him, he can beat him. The story comes to a close right all of a sudden, like it's you know, his reign ends. It makes sense, it makes more sense. And then like Cody can have this like once in a lifetime match at at WrestleMania against whoever, and then maybe like the Monday after Raw, Cody comes out challenges Sammy for the Raw title or whatever you know to mean or you know you can't get You can't put Cody out there like that. Yeah, not taking Sammy's til the night right night after that.

1:08:06 You can't put Cody out there deserves to be Yeah, he deserves to beat Roman Rings. He does. That is true. It's worth Torn's ever spoken. Yes, he does deserve to beat Roman Rings. That was like four matches. Look how much money they threw behind this nigga, like four or five star matches though like there well for five star matches, like Cody's a friend, Okay, But at the same time too, like the storytelling, like it makes more sense for Sammy Zaan to be in that position. I get get it, totally get if he knocks out Jayuso in the Royal Rumble, like I get that. But at the end of the day, and I mean dis respectfully, it's still sam Zane, you know what I mean? But okay, okay, whatever, because he it's if you're asking me if a WrestleMania main event, right, which one I'm gonna put against Roman reins to be the bigger match. I understand it's Cody like, and I love Sammy Zane, I love where it's going. You can maybe give him the title shot Elamation Chamber if you want to pull that one. But I think WrestleMania, unless you're doing the rock, Cody should be the guy.

1:09:38 Unless there's some unforeseen circumstances that happened within between now and the Royal Rumbull say, I don't know, maybe j White pops the fuck up, maybe decide let's do that. I don't know, but well, I think I think the bigger moment, I think Sammy and Kevin teaming up to beat the USOS for the TAD titles would probably be the move. So I could see them doing. I'm okay with that. Well, they're having a match tonight on SmackDown, but yeah, and of course I feel like Sammy will lose, get his ass whooped, and then by by Roman in the Bloodline and then now the lead to them teaming back up or whatever. Who knows, so Pe will share how how do we get back to Sammy zan Kevin ars.

1:10:19 That's all I'm saying. It's eventually gonna happen. You're right. Why am I surprised? For real? That's a hot take, Jake, Like, I don't know if I can get behind that bulletshit you talking about. I think I think it makes sense. Well, but who knows if Cody ain't red, if Cody ends up not being ready in time, I have a set bad That ain't a bad Like that's not a bad option to go who roster considering not going, it's considering, you know, not going back to doing brock again. You know what I'm saying, Like or senain't a bad option, but it'd be like the third option on the list. Though you know, we didn't seen seeing us boss spot. We don't want to see him no more. We're done wow wow period. So while we take a moment to sit back and play smash a Pass, We're gonna take a break and let y'all get y'all shit together and we'll be back in a moment.

1:11:25 Good evening, bitches. Well, since we've been gone for a couple of months, you know, doing our own thing, getting the bag, pimping the hose. Hm, we did not give y'all. Authors of the Best of twenty twenty two. Twenty twenty two is over we're now in twenty twenty three, but we did not give you our thoughts on who we thought was some of the best in wrestling in twenty twenty two. So that's what we're gonna do right now. I'm gonna pose the fellas with a category, and they're gonna give me their honest and unabashed the hanging about who they think was the best, who was maybe better than the best? Bring it bringing it back from twenty twenty two. Bring it back. Yeah, So let's start here. Let's let's go. Let's go. Let's go something easy.

1:12:20 Who was your tag team of the year in wrestling? Now? If you just want to give one that's fine. If you want to give one for WW and one for a W, that's cool. Do you have higher your fucking hand? Yeah, hi, yes, sir, question from the Caucasian the back. So for my all encompassing tag Team of the Year, it's gotta be FTR. It's just gotta be FTR is so good. They're so good, like all due respect, Who the fuck are you? Fuck you, Jake? We thought the beginning of the year about how if tr ain't audit special men men the bus jerk off jerkof jerk off. Now all of a sudden, people say, f R lick my afhole dry. Okay, look a lot can happen in three hundred and sixty five days, and in that time, banger after banger after make you three matches between FTR and the Briscoe Brothers, all of which were fantastic. You had them defending almost every single tag team championship in the world aside from WWE. Right, you had Triple A, IWGP A e W. They were everywhere and they always showed up. They were so good. They were truly top guys, like it was fantastic. Their face turn was so good. I don't know. They are so good talented. We saw them in Norfolk in their in their match

1:13:51 versus Keith Lee and Swerve and that Bro. That match blew us away. It was so good those guys. Those guys are it. Bro. I'm happy that you on. I'm gonna give you an our uncompatcent one. It is definitely FTR for me. FTR world class. Whatever they do next, if they decide to stay with a W, if they go somewhere else, they go back the w W, which I do not suggest anybody going back to w right. Now, let let should settle down. FTR was my team of twenty twenty two, hands down, bottom line. How about you Monday night. I'm gonna be the different one out the group, and I'm picking the ousaps. I'm rolling with them. Yeah, yeah, they're Dominance of the Year. Yeah, I'm have to roll with them FTR. They did their thing for a little bit, for a little bit, but they eventually failed the fuck off completely. So we're gonna roll with We're gonna roll with the USOPS. Okay for the cultures, I understand. For the culture.

1:14:56 Okay, okay. What about your AWAD Team of the Year. Oh well that had to be FTR, right. I was like, wait, yeah, you want to know who's your w w on TAD Team of the Year. Oh my god, it's a loaded fucking question. You know what the USO's like, why would you do that? I don't know, y'all might have picked I don't know. Toxic Attraction. Who the fuck those they just I mean Jake over here, Jake doesn't even lose. Jake don't even use lotion when he jacked off to that girl, like he just go bear a hand. The I guess the USOS. Y'all, y'all, w w TAD Team of the Year. All right, well, my a duck of you tag team of the Year, which will surprise y'all? Say it, say it. I'm gonna pick the Acclaim. Yeah, I'm gonna be acclaimed.

1:15:47 I'm gonna pick them. I'm gonna give them all the props in the world from work they wait, fuck up the whole year. They get to be absolutely popular over team, maybe in all of wrestling, next to the USOS, and you can make a case they might be more popular than down. So I'm gonna give them their credit. I know I've been hard on the Acclaim over twenty twenty two. I'm gonna give them their prompts. I'm gonna give them. They they my TAD team of the year. Thanks Billy Good. Okay, next question, all right, let's get to Okay, your women's wrestler of the year. Who's your Let's start with let's make this interest. Let's start with your WWE Women's wrestler of the Year. Oh easy, Bianca Belair Naca bell Layer, And I think it speaks for itself.

1:16:38 She's the best athlete on that roster and regardless of gender, She's in the top five athletes in the company. She's fantastic. Her mic work is actually pretty good. And guess what, she's actually a better wrestler now than than she won the type like, I just see the I see the improvements. Like she's just she's fantastic. I gotta go another way. I'm gonna go to Snowbunny of the Year Mandy Rose, Like, Manny, look, cross over uphill this bitch out here fingering her pussy and getting the billion dollars that look she yall can't finging her pussy, Like I don't know hard but Mandy Rose out here couldn't wrestle a little. We were just like, yo, this bitch is trash. She came not athletic at all. She just came up in the game you sex appeal to get to the top and then learn how to wrestle. It's a it's a Cinderella story. I remember them days where Sonia was the better one, that everybody thought Saya had the future, and man he was. I can't boy, has ship turned put You can put Mandy Rose on a w TNA whatever the fuck you would have put her on right now, and she could be the can chair same gimmick for the rest of her life. Mandy Rode, here we go. Get ready to put your put your seat bucks on. Mandy rod is tris Stratus reincarnated if

1:18:15 she wrestles again. Oh what, I can't even bandit that shit either. Like that's that's a very good comparison right there. She is. She is tris stratus really like strength. Her and Trish have parallels, like we didn't respect Trisian the beginning, but Tris gained our respect. Mandy Rode gained our respect straight up and then with defaction doubled down. Mandy rose hands down for the year. WW okay, ok, damn that was that was a very convincing fucking argument because I was pro I think I'm still gonna go be Yanka, but damn it, they ain't. Just made me faint god, because I ain't even won't even can say I won't even cause her and Mandy.

1:19:00 But then I was like, oh wait a minute, okay, oh yeah, I must still go with Bianca only because she's literally like the Roman brains of the women's division. But that bitch don't lose like and she put out bengers, so I can't even be mad. I love her, don't get you know, I love yeah, but yeah that Mandy ship though that she did come start from the fucking bottom with that like she was up in the bitch with otis for the longest time, came to NXT, just changed their hair color, switched that game up, and it was like a rap like mh b down, damn she was. She was off for every bitch that nted to her door. No, no, no bitch died like with our toxic contraction. I just think about it. She was winning without her fashion.

1:19:57 That is true. That's all I'm saying. All Right, go ahead, man, it's gonna be a little more controversial. Who's your a e W Women's Wrestler. Maybe it shouldn't be, but let's say it on three, one, two, three, R I see. I ask why I didn't want to say it on three because I knew it. Get the fuck out of here, what Jake, Shut the fuck up, baby hater. I like it. I like it. Can I pick thunder Rosa? Shut this motherfucker whole thing. Put somebody to actually wrestle. The four years she did, she won the title of everything. Yo, straight up. If y'all not picking ja y'all stupid. Okay, Oh Jay, how is Jade still green after three hundred sixty five? Get them, Jake, get him go ahead. First of all, she's an attraction. She put an ascid and seats just showing up. That's following on the top of the stay.

1:21:00 That's fine for shut for drag shows and fucking modeling competitions. But this is pro wrestling, bro. You either improve or get for god like, that's how it goes. Great. Colleague was an attraction, the Giant WCW was an attraction. Like, but they got that day Car Gael. That's all I'm saying that day Jay, Car Gail again. Crossover appeal, That's all I'm talking about with Jamie. Jamie Hayter. Respect that girl earned that belt and I love her for it. But you can switch that belt out between her and fucking Jade to day and I will be okay with Okay, Yeah, I mean I could see that eventually. But the thing is is, like I get she can't even keep track with her own faction. I mean, you saw like velvet red velvets, like not a batty no more like she don't. She's finally doing the turn, So we'll see what happens.

1:21:47 Okay, Okay, let's see what could well Cary, Okay, let's this would be an Age good Man. Who is your WWE Breakout Performer of the Year, Grayson Waller. M hmm. Now, I don't don't why we if you put bron break Up Grayson Waller and Bron Breaker, if you those gonna be the two already fucking know it, that is fine. Now I will say this Niga one is one of my two. Go ahead, okay, good Waller hands down. As long as we talk about barn Breaker because setting a Born's fun, I think that I'm gonna go back to the to the well here. Um, Sammy Zane would probably be in there for me, just because where he is now compared to where he was in January, he's a complete one eighty of the character he's now. Like I said, we can now have actual conversations when we're talking about him potentially getting a title before, like a title in general. It's not the icy title like and a main event title. Um, he's by far one of the best performers in the company. Think about his wrestling Adia match against the fucking Jackass Boys, like one of the best matches of WrestleMania weekends. And now look at him now, the ussy like the improvements just there. The consistency each week is there. I can't pick against him for my breakout for sure. People love Sam music right now. That's what's up. That's what's up, hug.

1:23:25 My pick is Logan Paul. I like that. I'm rolling the Logan Paul like that that nigga walked in day one. He was like, I got it. I understand the assignment like this nigga six star frog splash all right, like like I was like, damn this, I I ain't no you like Sean teaching like that down there? I bet my right. This man picked up when you think about it, try it. That's a little bit like this man picked up like every skill like overnight. Right, Mike work needs a little He's a YouTube star, so I don't understand why this Mike worked so fringing, but his mic wors cringe because he's still trying to play this niggas a baby face. Stop that ship. We don't want to cheer him. Don't nobody want to cheer Logan Paul. I want to bootist dude, right because because he comes off he comes off when he taught like you kind of you. I gotta look at you, sideways, you kind of slimy you. I'm like, I want to punch you. For some reason, he has that to him, but it keeps every time they put him out there. They don't want us to cheer him. It's like, nah, we don't want to. That boy had a chance with it.

1:24:44 I got damn belt. I'm gonna tell you that in my heart, like he could he could have walked that belt. Andy, Yo, I've lost my mind. I've long had a thought like if there was if there was a if there was truly a setback with Cody and you can't get the rock, I wouldn't be opposed to Logan Paul winning the Royal Rumble and going to wrestle Man and getting one more shot, Like I wouldn't be opposed to it because that first map was fired. Yeah, he ain't seen that like him in a long time. Yeah, all right, what's up next to one? Um? Who is your a E W breakout? I performing? This is gonna be good because they got they got a few choices to me.

1:25:30 I'm I'm I'm gonna go stand up right here. Daniel Garcia is my breakout performer the year. That's my mom. I'm gonna throw Daniel Garcia like he because at first I ain't eve Gonna. I was like, what is this dude doing here? Why y'all pushing this dude? He can't talk? He looked normal? What the fuck going on? I smashed but okay, I smash fan club Okay, But over time, working with Jericho and everybody, he has gotten so much better where it's like he besides Jericho, he's the best dude in that group. See Javar. I wouldn't even said that a year ago with Sammy standing right there. But it's like, now, oh, I can agree with you. But for some reason, and this is gonna sound wild, I just said it last night when I was watching a w two point Oh those niggas are the comeback story, Yeah of the century.

1:26:39 Then they've got more Mike time and I am bought into them, both of them. Now. I didn't know who the fuck they were in WWE, right, I know who the fuck they are now? All right, A w gotta they need to start taking them seriously as a tag team. Now it's time. Let me get them with a push to the tat team titles them versus the acclaim. Oh, only imagine the promos. It will be money in the bank. We need to build it at a let's get let's start this going. Yeah, minest two point Oh well then when they not called two point on the boy, they call Jericho appreciations. You never gave him another dang. Yeah. Yeah, So I would picked Inn of Garcia as well for sure, for obvious reasons. I mean, you look at him, he looks Vanilla. His character's story going into the year was nothing, and then all of a sudden he gets the will he won't they Blackpool Combat Club shout out to Wheeler Uta as well getting his hands on some ROH titles. Smash Smash one of the more proficient wrestlers in the world, Action and Drettie I smashed as well. Like so those I would smash all three. Oh. I knew that one as soon as I saw them.

1:27:58 For the Little Boy, I was like, Oh, that's Toronts type right here. I do at the moment of the Thong, I was like, he makes the little start from the ass match, like you know what I mean. Like, but another one that I think I want to mention as well, as Wardlow Um Warlow won his championship this year. Warlow proved that he can hold it down in the mid card, proved that he is a commodity when healthy, proved that he can do a lot of things that a lot of guys his size can't do. And when he's back, I'm curious how they're going to use him. I'm curious what the what the plan is. But I'm excited nonetheless for what he's gonna bring. Um, But I do want to talk about people I look forward to watching this year though um for AW specifically not to hijack this from Javan, but Ricky Starks is going to tap. But you n't fair. I need to talk about his weight to the end because I don't know if he was gonna ask is unplanned?

1:28:56 Go ahead, Jake. All I'm saying is, if I can get my soapbox for a second, Ricky Starts is going to take over in twenty twenty three. Think about the matches he's had in the last four weeks. He wrestled the AW world champion, went toe to toe with him on the mic as well. By the way, now he has this thing with Jericho, He's got action and DRETTI as it in his corner. I just I see so much upward potential. And we've talked about it many times with this kid, like he's very much like the Rock. He reminds me a lot of the rock mic style. Obviously not in physique, but I think twenty twenty three, come January twenty twenty four, we're gonna be like damn, Ricky Starks was the man for aw this year. Oh sorry, I'm with it.

1:29:41 I'll buy into it. Let's see what was your WWE moment of the year for me? And it could be anything in the Ring, out of the Ring, whatever, just whatever was the moment of the year for that company for me was the visit Man's drama. Yeah, like I call it the money in the Bank, the buddy in the Bank's scandal was was real because you didn't see that ship. You knew that ship bubbled under the surface, but who was gonna really bring it out? It was awsome like corporate espionage type ship the day who blew his spot out of nowhere? Facts, you learned a lot about the make Man family real quick, mhm. Scandalous.

1:30:30 I love the little scandal, honey, I would say for me, Cody Rhodes Is entrance at WrestleManias, the fact that he was able to keep the gimmick full name that you know, everything Homelander Wrestling has more than one roy of the family. The Seth Rollins match that ensued, I mean I I that was to me one of the best moments of twenty twenty two for WW agreed. Um hmm. If I'm gonna pick a moment, yeah, you know, it would have to be Cody coming back because like even though most of us kind of expect or felt it would happened, to actually see this shit happen was like whoa, Okay, he actually left all right and be presented in the way that he should have been presented, you know what

1:32:00 I mean, Like they got it right and all counts. Yeah, Like he ain't come out there, no polka dots that shit, Like, okay, brand y'all give a fuck? All right, No Brandy yet? Yeah, thanks God. N Toron's would be so excited when Brandy comes out and he holds the title and shit, yesuk her and Puck the ugly baby Oh no. At twenty twenty three, Brandy rose Rue is gonna be effic for yeah, when she comes in his number thirty and the women's orl rumble. Oh no no, she's gonna win money in the bank. Mmmm mmm. Cashes in on Charlotte Flair. Oh no, no, she's gonna cast it.

1:32:43 Bitch in on Charlotte, Ronda and Bianca. It's gonna be a four It's gonna be a three way. Then they're gonna turn into a four way. He got out to Charlotte, by the way coming back as a face, forgetting she's a face and trying to snag the title from the rev like booky with her? What did it get right? Also shout out to Ronda for being a good sport losing it on Charlotte's first name. Yeah, that was weird as fun. But okay, um, what's your aw moment of the year? Oh see him puking on that bullshit the media? Yeah, the him calling him saying that that the young bucks, that the EVPs couldn't even run what what Target? Yeah, I couldn't even run a target, let alone run a wrestling company. Was pretty comedy. That ship was crazy.

1:33:36 It was It was a lot. That whole situation. You can say that Nigga was just tired like he was. He was done, but in that moment, he was hurting he was done. They was like, yo, like all right, y'all want to play, let's play today, right, And Tony Conn is just right there act like that's problem, Like everything's all good. Yeah, Tony cont know what to do with himself. He was like, uh, um, I liked uh. Seeing Paige come back was cool. It was cool. I can't deny that it wasn't a bright spot to see Page back in the ring, like full competiting, competing was pretty awesome. Yeah, I enjoyed that. I really do every Sting match.

1:34:24 Can I say that every Sting pay per view match is actually like really good? Every single one? Are you sure? Everyone on pay per view? Yeah, he does his dive. He tries to commit suicide almost every single pay per view. He's a hymn. Yeah, my man was definitely fucking killing himself, That's what I'm saying. And then the thing is like, I guess he wants to reports her that he wants to retire this year, which is really sad. He deserved it. He'd had some bang of matches for sure. Um, let's see what's next. Wrap that shit up. De Vin Ship's gonna h W Match of the Year. Mm hmmm, meaning, can you pick your favorite Kenny Omega MaTx to put here? I'm good like, ain't w I'll just shut up. I ain't got a favorite a W match of the Year. I'm serious too, I don't. I really don't. There's nothing that comes to body. M hm. I can always call Keith, he can let us know, like, um he loves it. Um hm huh yeah, yeah, because my my mines for a

1:36:00 damn minds for a W didn't even happen to a wie. That's a sad. Oh but would I count like ftr Nebriscos like the title's like out it was technically r well, it was technically ring of on the a W owns ring of onor we're gonna roll with that ftr Nebriscos. That's that probably it me? Um uh, you know, mine's actually gonna be a tag nage might gonna be a tag manage. Um the Swerve in Our Glory versus the Bucks versus Team tazz Ohka, that one was actually yeah, that was a banger. Will osprays two matches with a W against Dak's Hardwood and Cassy were bangers. Danielson Garcia was a banger. Oh oh Hangman Page versus Daniel Brown or Brian Danielson at the beginning of last year. That was fucking good too.

1:37:01 Our what would be your w WE match of the year, I mean, Logan Paul Roman Rains is a good one. Logan Paul Roman Rains, hands down, gun thro versus Shanus was really good. That was also a banker asshole. That was a banger. Um, y'all know, y'all know where I'm going Roman Rains, Kevin Owens, Yeah, No, Code versus Seth Helena Sale. I am going to give Cody all the flowers. I'm going there. That's where I'm going. Yes. As match of the year war Games, that was a good one. That's good games. I love the war games this year at Survivor Series, I thought it was fucking awesome all right. And lastly, your Wrestler of the Year, um, My Wrestler of the Year is Roman Rains. Begrudgedly um shout out as a second place shout out to John Moxley, who is the heart and soul of aw and those promos he was cutting in wake of the scrum like around that time were ten out of ten every single time you picked up the money. So honorable mention to him. But the tribal chief will reign supreme for twenty twenty two. Okay, it was roman Rains moment from Gate like he just who

1:38:33 would have thought that Roman Rains year was going to be like this? M hm, Hey, nobody have one better? Right? Yeah, I'm agreed roman Rains the top of the ladder, but I would I will give my honorable mention to Chris Jericho. You watch, Oh, I will do it. I will do this. I'm turning over a new leaf in twenty twenty three, New year, knew me. I will give Jericho his flowers because the work he's done this year to be he's probably the most consistent person a w has because week in week out, he's out there, whether it's a fire, where's a good promo, whether it's being in a match, he's elevating people. The work that he's done, he's just been so consistent.

1:39:27 And I know John Moxley he does the same, and he does it with the world title and everything, but no Shade, Jericho's just more entertaining. So I'm gonna give him there. I'll give him this ship. So finally I'm okay with that. Finally, thank you for respecting him. At wait a minute, I've always respected him. Jericho's got just oh, y'all just go on another level with that dick sucking nah and it's sloppy where I'll just be like, mmm, I'm gonna just kiss the tip, y'all be like down the ship when it comes to Chris Jericho, like you're giving a sloppy toppy when it comes to Jericho. I'm gonna just kissing tip. That's it.

1:40:20 That's all you talk about it. Anybody be doing sloppy topic girl, Like, that's crazy. You make you making shit up as crazy as hell. I can't believe he just did that time. That's nuts, right, and he just tried to play us right there, and that's fine a word. Really, what was that, Jake? What was that? Jake said? He is the goat? Yeah, very sloppy. You just spit on it, didn't you, Jack right there right there like the goat? You know, m hm. I'm seeing him. He's actually coming to town, uh for a concert, So I'm going to see Faill be fun. Oh well, um, wear your mask please please please do? Like, where are your masks maybe outbreaks in his ship every time. Baby, Oh no, you're gonna come back with syphilist mixed with COVID next week.
