About this episode
Key takeaways
- Night of Champions will feature seven matches, including multiple title defenses across Raw and SmackDown
- The hosts discuss the importance of championship belt history and legacy, arguing midcard titles should be stepping stones for top talent
- A tag team championship match is expected but not officially announced; both hosts emphasize the tag division needs momentum and gold on new competitors
- The six-pack elimination challenge format allows wrestlers to avoid jobbing while determining a World Heavyweight Championship contender
- Championship belts should be defended regularly and placed on workers who can tell stories and elevate the titles
Q&A
Why is Michelle McCool defending the Divas Championship instead of Laila Ali on Sunday?
Teddy Long made them choose which co-champion would defend, and Michelle volunteered while Laila agreed to let her defend the belt.
What is unique about the six-pack elimination challenge format?
It allows a competitor to win without pinning anyone directly, which means no one has to take a clean loss if booked correctly.
Which two performers are the only ones to have their own official championship belts?
John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin are the only two performers to have their own belts; other replicas like The Rock's were toys, not official titles.
What belt do both hosts agree is their number one favorite of all time?
The Big Gold Belt, due to its extensive history and connection to performers like Ric Flair and Triple H over the past 25-30 years.

Okay. You're gonna die. You're gonna die.
You're gonna die. You're gonna die. You're gonna die.
You're gonna die. You're gonna die. Are you ready?
Hey, thank you. Tell us what you do. You think you could tell us what to do.
You think you could tell us what to wear. You think that you're better. When you better get ready.
It bounces a mess. Thank you. And here we go.
It is Thursday night. Special Thursday. Thursday is always special.
You're ready for a weekend. Thursday. Always Thursday.
We're gonna have a new segment on the show where you just give drink specials. You know that aren't sponsors at the show. Send me that.
Send me that. Let me hear your drink special. That's what we're gonna call like.
Cody's telling us not to give you your drink specials. Okay, it is Thursday in September the 16th and the year of our Lord 2010. First time we've done a live wrestling Thursday show.
Couple of weeks ago we did our College Football Preview but tonight. We focus in on three days from now. 72 hours from right now.
This thing goes on the air. We're alive for what I consider the fifth major. And you know what?
I'm not gonna argue with it. I think it's kind of unstable to have back to back major stuff. Yeah, I don't.
Vince doesn't see this as a major. I don't think maybe he does. Maybe he does.
Wouldn't this be a good December. Yes, I'd move it. I'd move it for sure.
Night of Champions to wrap up the year. Uh-huh. Going in the rumble.
Absolutely. Oh, then you asked right. Didn't you have a back to back again.
I don't think you're the way around it. But yeah. I just don't like the arm again.
So I did like Armour Grid. Armour Grid. We're good.
The main event's going to be the name of the paper view. Like Helen herself. I don't.
Yeah, I don't like the. We're going to take every gimmick match and turn it into a paper view. Exactly.
And we're going to name it that. That's weird. And they still won't have the right one.
No. So I get work games. I'm not happy.
And I need Halloween havoc. Welcome to the Clubhouse Special Edition. The Clubhouse, of course, is open.
Oh, it skipped that other one. We're going to talk about nine champions coming up this Sunday. We're going to do this every month for the paper views.
What we're going to do for you is we are going to run down the card. Match by match. There are allegedly seven of them right now.
There's allegedly every. Yeah, we're still alive. If you look at the card, we're still missing a tag team match.
Yeah. We'll get to that in a minute. After that, we're going to talk about where we go from here.
And then we're going to do a nice little feature for you. We're going to hold on to what that is to the end of the show. Right now, let's run down the card.
Let's do it. We're going to start. I'm doing it in the order of importance.
I guess you could say. Well, you got the first one right. If this match does not open the show, there's something wrong.
We're talking about, of course, the Davis Unification Lumber Jill match. Everybody's lumber Jill was two words. So I tried to spell it on the rundown.
And found out that it isn't deep two words. Not one. Molina, which is the Davis champion.
And if you are not big into SmackDown spoilers, just go la la la la la. For about the next 10 seconds in three, two, one. She will be facing Michelle McCool.
Okay. That was a decision that was made on. But made by who?
Well, she and Laila had to make a decision. Okay. You watched a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown.
Teddy Long said, yes, she may be self-professed. She was a co-memage champions, but only one of you can defend the belt on Sunday. So they had a little discussion.
And Michelle said she was going to do it. Laila said good luck with all that. I don't know if we're teasing a lake who will break up or if it's a teasing of a teasing.
I think that I think of whatever happens. I think they leave them together because I think it makes it. I think for some reason, events.
And you know who one of these young ladies is married to. Yes. I think they keep on together because it's funny.
It's quirky. And I think you can get that stupid, immature, female, young, female wrestling crowd is what I think they're. I just don't like the mean girls bit.
Yeah, that's what it's really kind of actually. If you're trying to market this to kids. Exactly.
And you're trying to get that audience. You're really kind of alienating that audience. But until they rate TNA or but until they get some people.
It's a women in there. This match doesn't do anything to help the division. We talk about that every week on Tuesday night.
So when you were for our normal audition in the club house at eight on the East Coast and five on the West Coast, TNA is killing them in the women's day off. They just had to salutely with their show body over there. That I would that I think were the enough to hold that belt.
I mean, Trisha's gone on the one. I always like lead up. I would lead a carry to build it had kind of a sliminess that I like to.
But she was always healed when she carries. She was always healed. And I don't like, you know, of course, you had the ultimate face woman and Trisha.
I don't have that anymore. But you know what? I always kind of liked it too when you have the power couples with the belt.
So when it was Trisha's stuff and then it was edge and lead a. There was just something kind of cool about that. Yeah, trip and stuff was pretty.
I mean, man, bring back the McMahon. Yeah, but pull back the curtain on that. Man, get real.
You know, get the girls involved. Maybe it's an out six woman tag or this next deal on the card. And you're here in the theme right now.
Knight of Champions belts are on the line, but we're going to get. I told you the way to make this show versus CM Punk is that is the straight edge title on the line. And I missed that.
We talked about this on our regular show. There's only one way this match can work. I think it'd be such a swirl.
Something cool. This matches for the newly brought back television title. I'd be totally on board that.
But you kind of have to let that be known before the favor view. And that's a weird. I just thought that was cool.
I don't. And then I hear all these rumors about unification. And you can't have not a champion.
Do I have two matches? Three. That's fine.
Bring another belt down. That's fine. Bring another belt down.
And you don't make it like the tag belts. Yeah. Which I think was what they're going to do with the Davis belt.
Two is any show. Yeah, you do. And that is it.
Now is it going to be women's title or Davis title? I look like a women's title. That diva title.
The butter. That drives me insane. Wow.
But no. And you know, and I'm really. I think Punk cast a win.
But Punk's. See, I think this is what breaks up. The rest of the straighted society.
And we talked last week about. Uh, Joey Mercury being fired. Uh, he was on SmackDown last Friday, 19.
I saw that. Yeah. So did they do two at a time on that?
Did I miss something? I have no idea. And then, you know, one thing about big show.
Do we. It's Vince just got to the point, which he does with people. I don't know.
I just don't know what the hell to do with you anymore. So I'm going to put you in angles and matches. That doesn't make any sense.
I have also made the. Made the prediction that something happens in key turns. He'll joins the straighted society too.
That night. Never know who's going to come. He was rescued.
He gets turned on. Good. I'm going to get some matches at matter.
Like this one right here on the top. The intercontinental champion. One of my favorite belts.
Classic title. Chants going at the brats dull title. Yeah.
Right there. Dolph Ziggler is your champion taking on Kofi Kingston. I was thinking about this match today as I was putting the run sheet together.
If Kofi doesn't win this match, move on. Yeah. Haven't they been few things for WrestleMania?
I think Kofi and I'm going to make probably little side predictions on this too. I like Dolph Ziggler to win that match because I think Kofi. You got to understand.
He gets a pop when he comes out. Absolutely. He's decent on the stick.
And I think he's great in those phenomenal. Yeah. In the ring.
We could. I'm all about pushing new talent to kind of get him in that belt situation. I think he could be a guy that could be next.
I'm not saying monster push. What are you going to do with him on SmackDown? Because that's the intercontinental title.
But I just know. I think Dolph Ziggler holds on to that with the assistance of Vicki. And then eventually that belt gets on the dash in Cody Rhodes.
Eventually. I agree with you. I don't have to put a title on there.
Well, then if you want to get him involved in the match, then Kofi has to win. Because you're not. Nobody's going to.
You and I will watch two heels go at it. A lot of people on this standpoint. It's not the popular thing to do.
Yeah, a lot of you don't understand that. I think that the curtains back just get two guys in a ring. You think and draw.
He get people interested to tell a story and let them go for the belts. I mean, you and I talked about this about a month ago. We thought maybe this would turn into a three way dance.
Yeah. Once again, I don't know if it's bad booking or just doesn't make sense. I mean, there's some guys missing on this car that I'm like.
I thought you were pushing that guy. And we'll get to that here. Just a second for sure.
And if we hit one along the way, please feel free to plug out. You're putting this on me this. I didn't know about it.
And I love it when you're spontaneous on me because it keeps me on my game. Exactly. The US champion chip is also good.
Of course, be on the line. I've got a prediction here. The Miz is your current US champion.
It's the first time he's defended that belt. Yeah. I hate that.
That belt. And everybody that holds that belt does that. And he's defending against Daniel Bryan.
Also known as Bryan. Daniel said, if you are someone that a ring of honor person. I mean, we're off here.
I gotta tell you, say something about ring of honor this week. Very strange. I think Miz drops this belt.
And then cash is money in the bank and that night. Yeah. I will determine that when I see, okay, first of all, him lose.
Second of all, who wins it? Who wins the who wins that six pack challenge it will talk about a little bit later? Who wins that matches what is going to determine what he does with that?
I like the Miz. I like him in the stick. I like that charisma.
I wish they wouldn't make him so annoying. That's probably the main thing with him. I like his skills.
I like him with the belt. I hate this United States title. So they're their times.
And I used to know these people. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Ooh.
I think that was what's happening. Sean had the intercontinental title. Um, over Lex Luger had the double steps out of now.
These belts get so lost in translation. Yeah. Sometimes you'll forget whoever has them.
That's the bad thing. But, and I'll agree with both barbed wire and jewels here. I think it makes sense.
It's a tap thing. Yeah. Because that's Daniel Bryan's bit.
Yeah. I mean, if you haven't, I mean, really Vince has horribly misused him. Get on YouTube.
Look up some of his stuff. This guy has, he reminds me, and I know this is going to be darkness when I say this. He reminds me of Benoit.
Yeah. He's a little bit more personality. Yeah.
And that's one thing about him. You don't need to repack a jean. I think he's great.
I think he'll do nothing. But, Evelyn. Evelyn?
Excuse me. Sorry. He'll do nothing.
But make the United States title better. He'll put one thing about these midcard belts. They used to have names behind them.
Absolutely. And I think he can elevate that title. I mean, you look at the list of people that have had that belt since Vince brought it back.
With the exception of Cena. Show. Show.
Orlando VP. Orlando Jordan. Orlando Jordan.
Jericho. Jericho. Didn't.
Not hardy have that belt for a time. Yes. Before he went to East.
No matter. I thought Matt. I thought Matt represented the belt.
Because he very well. Him and MVP few did over it. Exactly.
On mistaken. But I also don't like that belt. You know me when I'm the only West.
Yeah. It hangs in the closet in my studio right now. That WCW with the big bird on it.
That is the US belt to me. Yeah. I mean, just.
Vince, if you're going to put these belts on people. Put them on people. It's going to a defend them and put a name behind them.
I agree. You know, intercontinental title. That's.
I see that belt on some guys. And I've just got cringe at some of the people they've put that belt on through the years. You know, China.
The intercontinental. Yeah. China.
I mean, you can tell me. How am I. I mean.
Orton Edge. Now they've always kind of kept that intercontinental title around Vince's guys. Edge.
Orton. For a time. But he's the for a time.
Rick Flair held it. Yeah. I'm trying to think if there are any non Vince guys.
If you don't count Flair. That's ever held that belt. Evan born with another guy.
US title guy. Yeah. I don't mind.
You know what? That's a great idea. Yeah.
These these US intercontinental's and US titles used to be considered stepping stone belts. You know, Brett the hitman heart didn't hold the intercontinental title for the heck of it. Sean Michaels Kevin Nash.
Scott Hall. That was considered a stepping stone belt. All right.
Now. You know that belt. You were next in line basically.
The belt now gets so lost. Who has them? Why aren't they defending them?
The Miz. Like you said. What happened to the 30 day rule every 30 days.
Put your belt on the line. You know what? Now that you say that didn't he do something on Raw a couple of weeks ago.
Where I. I don't have to defend my. Because the night of champions.
Because he gave. Mr. Wu.
Wu. Wu was shot. Zach Ryder.
Zach Ryder. Yeah. And he said now that I defended my title.
And be dinner like a minute and a half. I don't have to get night of champions. I mean, the bootling.
And not in, you know what? Maybe. Maybe it all works out.
Daniel Brown will probably make a good US champ. As long as he defends it in their great matches. Well, he's actually on TV.
I think that's a part of the problem. Exactly. I just think that them putting the.
Putting the US title and giving Miz money in the bank. I just think that way or too much. Who did he beat for that US title?
Oh. Goodness. Who did he take?
It's been so long ago. I can't even tell you who he took the belt off of. Hold on.
Let me think. Didn't he lose it and win it back? Something like that.
Uh, and who did he lose? Set a decision over here on that. Shame is no.
No. James. Yeah.
I'm just kind of wondering. Who he got that belt off of? Who did he win this year?
Are you on is it Frenchy? It might have been because remember they were. No, because he had the tag belts and the US title.
Okay. I mean, who did he? Let me check it here.
I'll look that up because I'm intrigued by that. And again, make sure you join us every Tuesday night for our normal show. Eight on the East Coast five on the West Coast.
We've already got a shockful show and it's Thursday. Because I'm going to tell you what. I looked at the rundown today and I was like, wow.
And there's going to be more stuff coming over the weekend. Yeah. And please join us.
We'd love it. It's one of the most interactive shows. I'm sure going to find.
I mean, I agree. I mean, I'm not saying it. I mean, we're going to do this our show.
We're not going to pass it. We're going to pass it around the microphone or anything. It's not a horseman friend.
Uh, There we go. We got it Rob. He will.
Have we got it yet? I'm on it. Okay.
I just, I feel the same way about both these belts to me. Used to have so much of a name. And you're just like, what?
What was it. But see, that was part of the problem as hostel television on the studio. WWE classics on demand is showing star-k 85.
The gathering. Right now. And I think that's that was part of the problem in the NA as there were so many promotions involved you had so many bells.
Alano is in Tallahassee, Florida, January 1st, 1975, Harley Race defeated one Johnny Weaver to become the first United States heavyweight champion. At the missed defeated one are true. That's right.
Back at Toledo, Ohio. That's right. Because can't quick beat him and then he beat me.
I'm far back you want to go with this deal. Let's just go hang on a second. Let's just go this step now.
Barbarra says he said the U.S. post U.S. built so long.
You got it from Triple H. Do you want to go back? Okay.
We'll go back 97 because I feel like that. Okay. Steve, we got time.
Yeah. We're way ahead of this guy. Steve, make Michael.
Mongo, how about that? Mongo, how about Jeff Jarrett? I do remember Jeff Jarrett having that course to great.
Now this is the classic old eagle flag belt when in the U.S. I haven't read this Diamond Dallas page, Raven Goldberg. Goldberg had that and the world title like I do.
Sadly, to say the only singles title, Brett Hart ever hailed in WCW was the U.S. title. Goberg dropped that to him.
Then Lex Luger, then Brett again. He's a three time United States champion. Diamond Dallas page is a multi-time champion.
Rally, Roddy Piper in 99 makes no sense because he was Halloween-haficking away. He has his prime Scott Hall, Scott Steiner, David Flair, Chris Benoit, Psycho Sid, Goldberg, Brett Hart again. It's a four time United States champion.
Scott Hall again, Chris Benoit, Jeff Jarrett, Lance Storm. That meant a general reaction. You Morris, and then you ruin it there.
Shane Douglas, franchise. Booker T, the Great Late Chris Canyon. Yep.
Rhino. And here we go. That's the, that's not the day goes away for a long time.
The last time it's defended is on the, let's see here a year. It goes away on September 10th of a one. United States title goes away.
Wow. Weird. The day before 9-11.
Wow. And returns 10-22-02 as Kurt Angle defeats Rhino to be the first WWE United States champion. Of course Edge, Eddie Guerrero, Big Show, John Cena, Booker T, John Cena again.
Yeah, John Cena again, Orlando Jones, Jordan, excuse me, Orlando Jones. Who is that? What was that?
A movie? A blue singer. Chris Benoit, JBL, Bobby L.
Finley. That's right. Mr.
Kennedy. Kennedy MVP, Matt Hardy, Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston, the Miz, Brett Hart. He did.
That's right. That makes him a six-time United States champion, my life. Art Truth, and then the Miz.
Wow. You know, in the, that's a belt that's, it's had some names on it. It's not like it's just some spare belt, especially when you go back to, you go back into the 70s, Wahoo, McDaniel, sergeant, slaughter, Greg, the hammer, valentine, I mean, you know, I'm sorry, Andrew just walked into these welcoming us that he's welcoming himself.
I don't know. Good to see you, brother. I just, this, I don't know.
We've got to do something. Miz, I think, Miz has to drop this belt. Yeah, because A, he's had it since 1963, exactly.
And Daniel Bryan, this, this feud has to pay off and move on, especially I think what's probably going to happen here, I think Daniel Bryan could get into a really good program. You could have NXT season one versus NXT season two, where Kavalk gets, I think him and Kavalka have to enact it. He's horrible.
He's got on the stick, but the guy's got skills in the ring. Back of all is, he's get away from, like, cool, like cool. This next match, not announced on the website, but you're saying that you have seen it where the heart dynasty is putting the tag team championships on the line against Heath Slater and Daniel Tarver of NXT.
Are we going to announce that? Or, I think it makes sense. I think for, here's a deal.
In WO got real legit real quick. Yep, very quickly. Yeah, I think the outsiders won that those tag belts real quick.
That was about, no, well, they beat hard. Okay, they came on it. Bash the peach, they beat hard.
They, they came in and like, Marlon, come out as far as wrestling. We didn't see them wrestle till they, they won the belts at the August paper view because they beat the Steiner Steiner. That's when Rick Steiner got turned on by Scotty and Scotty during the NW.
Exactly. No, no, they was way before that because I believe they beat the nasty boys at World War III that year. Did nasty boys or was it hard on heat?
Tarlem heat. I thought they had the belts before that night at Super Brawl. Super Brawl's in a bit anyway.
They've got to get some belts on these guys. I agree. They've got to get something to wear.
It's not. Here we are. We're a couple guys interference and we already job to pay for view this that year.
Yeah, I think you've got to, you've got to get some, some blood around it is my whole deal. I agree. You know, I just, I think it'd be cool to get some belts and I always like that the hill stable.
It's always, always a good thing. But you've got to get some, some gold on these boys. Yeah.
And I think what a way to start. I mean, you're in the tag team divisions been suffering for so long. Maybe we can put it on these two guys and they can elevate it somewhere.
Let's see the problem you have is that Ross coming gone and there's no mention of it. Exactly. So probably what's going to happen if this happens, it's going to happen on the telecast where it's going to be, you know, the tag belts, the brand new.
Yeah, we have very impressive, right, tags have not been defended and they need to be. And then it's, well, the next this is going to get involved. I mean, I'd like to see it happen.
But you brought up an interesting question when we were in pre-show prep. What happened to the use of? Go on.
And that weird. It's just, hey, we've got a tag. Oh, no, we don't have a tag division.
It's just, it's vents. I don't know why he's wanting to always kill that division. I don't know if maybe there's, maybe there's just something that he doesn't like as far as the talent.
I think when you go back to our own, it's a division he killed exactly. But when you got just, Scott Hall, yes, that was a Scott Hall reference. Be more than I.
You know, and I just thought for a long time, one thing I hate is single star, single star, put them together. Let's make a tag team. And that's, that's something we're actually going to talk about in the show next week that I've got I've got a point of a point of contention in the industry right now.
Something I'd like to see that we haven't seen in a long time. And we're going to talk about that Tuesday night because it was I was watching Ring of Honor. I was catching up on it last night.
They've got a little something working over there with the American wolves. I like those guys. I actually saw that now.
They still together. Yes, they were teasing a break of water for one of them. Scott, the television title.
Okay. The other one is, I guess you could say in contention for the world title, because you know Tyler Black going to FCW now, he dropped that title out there, pay review to one Roderick Strong, which makes no sense to me, because Roderick Strong can't carry a company of even that low of a level. The guy could wrestle, but he's terrible on the stick.
Absolutely horrible. But yeah, no, I'm hoping to see a tag team title match. And I like the hard, I like, we have to have his title champions.
I like the heart dynasty. I mean, I like them. I think they've got to move that belt.
We've got to move that belt around. You've got to get somebody with the next, with the next legion of doom or road warriors or the outsiders, would they please stand up? JR has been begging for it for you.
And somebody get together and let's take these belts and let's just go, eight, you know, what for a few, a few months, maybe a year, and just lay people out on both shows. I'm on board. We have not had a dominant tag team in the WWE, and it's been quite some time.
Christian Edge, the Dudley, maybe the hardies, you've got to go back that far to find and the height of that, it was almost a decade ago. I mean, you had three dominant tag teams right there at that one little interchange that way. And the TLC matches the, the boys could go.
And those belts kind of bounced around those six individuals for two or three years. They had bangers now. Okay, why?
But a tag team, Highlanders, the Highlanders, Rumory. We thought they were going to be great. They were great.
Well, he made his own guy do you, you kind of show up. And I think that was kind of TNA should get at least given him a job. Because he's one of them showed up at a TNA event wrestle meeting a weekend in Orlando and they put him on a camera.
And the next week he didn't have a job. But yeah, I mean, even the headmink till the headbangers in or at least they were a tag team. It wasn't superstar superstar.
And it was, you know, they've got to do some investors doing anything. Yeah, um, you know, I tell you a tag team that I think's underrated. And I'm not going to get a lot of heat in this chat room and you may look at me weird.
And well, after the college football show, I can't really look at you two here. The smoking guns. I will not look at you because I thought they were a great tag team.
And you hardly ever hear them mention in any way. Oh, right now. Yeah, I don't want to deal with them a little bit of an issue.
I'm talking about as a team. You know, I'm talking about personal as a team. Well, I think they were part of that.
I've got that world's greatest tag teams. Are they on it? I believe so.
Yeah, I like that. I thought they were a very good, a good tag team. They were great.
It's probably starting at towards the end. That's when they grow gut because that's when Billy would heal. But always like them.
Of course, you got to go new age outlaws. You know, Billy again hooked up with another guy. He's a guy.
I mean, I know Kip's got some issues right now. He's going through some stuff. Yeah, sir.
But at the end of the day, he was part of two very dominant tag teams. Absolutely. Maybe it's the guys in the business now.
There's, maybe there's a bit of an arrogance going, I want to be a singles guy. Maybe a tag team is beneath me. Maybe that's the thought too.
I don't know. It's a very strange bit to me. But yeah, I mean, the new belts look great.
They're already selling them on shot. If you haven't seen them go check them out, you could buy them like that Tuesday. I like this belt.
Like a like the Roman helmets. I think it's time to update all of them. Not one of them.
One of them needs to stay right exactly. Well, but I think you could update that US title. The spinner belt if Cena doesn't have it, it makes no sense.
I think you need to update that belt. I'm always willing. I like some of the classics, but I like, I think it's time for that belt to go the way of the top.
Our OH just updated all their belts down. They're new belts look great because all their belts look exactly the same. They're new belts look great.
And then there's this. Your world of Heavyweight Championship match, King versus the Undertaker, it is no hold barred, not the movie. Zeus won't be there.
Zeus. Tiny Lister will not be there, sir. Please let this be over.
Please let this be over. I can't. This match could be almost as slow as Lesnar Goldberg.
And I don't know if there's anybody listening. That's if any say put that belt back on mark. Not for very long.
No, but if he adds class to it, whenever he has it, I think it's still adds that little bit of class. And that big gold belt hadn't had class on in a while. But you know, it's going to happen.
I could tell you exactly what's going to happen. What's up? Mark wins that match.
The rematch is next month. Because what's next month? Yeah.
Hell in a cell brother. I don't know if Mark can go in hell. I don't know.
Those two are to mark. There's one hell in a cell match in my world. They're the very first one.
And that's it. They I don't it that was it when Sean and Mark went there and tore the house down with no belts on the line. No, sir.
Just we're going to go that if you read Sean Michael's book when he tells that story of that match, how them walking in and Sean just looking up and going, we're climbing this and Mark looking in like are you crazy? It is 94 mark when Mark could still go. That was 97.
But still he could still go with that. Yeah. I'd like to say it on mark.
I think that I'd like to see some of these older guys. Let's be honest. He's on the back.
He's on the back end of a career. Very, very far on that. I almost fallen off the truck.
I'm not going to say that Vince Ozing. I think Vince owned Ode Kane. Oh, I you know, you know, I talked about that too where, you know, the guy had a one day run exactly the guy had a one day run in the business.
I like him. But it's bad. He hit and plus he had a mask on and Steve Austin was winning if he winked at you.
He had the belt. Yeah. And Kane was a victim of that.
I always thought it was a great bit. I like I kind of missed a mask at times. I don't just be I've got I would at first happen.
It didn't. I was not happy with it. But I think I've just gotten so used to it now that I'm just gotten so used to it.
I can't go back now. I just, yeah, I don't know. I think Mark wins it because he has a little bit of legit to it.
I think he goes through next month with it. I don't think maybe I'll will survivors here. Yeah.
I think you've got to get some body. But my, my other question is who that terrible roster. Yeah.
Who else are you going to put it on? I have no idea. But I think Mark draws heat to it.
I think he adds class to it. That's a barca has class to just about anything. That guy's odd and that's a book I'm waiting on.
But that's a bill. He has a write a book if he retires our cry. That's a belt to me that I think that you have to have a certain person holds that belt because the history behind that belt.
I agree. And I think Mark's a guy that can hold it can. I don't know.
Maybe baby Vince owes can at two months total run. As long as it's not on as long as it's not on back of one superstar named Ray Mysterio because he's not a heavyweight. I'm, I'm fine with that.
But I think that, you know, Mark make put so much around the belt in him and he's done so much. He has very little tidal rings. If you think about it.
Yeah. I see he's one of those guys and we talk about guys like Triple H and Sean that transcends the belt. He's another one.
I think that's an idea that you know what, maybe we have a, maybe we have a guy jump. You don't always have to. I mean, there's nobody else you can put that belt.
I mean, maybe a shameless, maybe a, I mean, you can't say, see them, but maybe an Orton, maybe a hedge. I always thought when that, that will be, if they ever make a big expand and I don't, but you talked about this whole quick thing on Tuesday now. I don't think any of those boys want to be back on SmackDown.
Yeah, but they want to be on Monday now. You've got to, you've got to either do two things. I think you can still have two champs and not have and separate the brands.
I think you can still have a giant for the, the disillusion of the, that's the brand separation for you. I think I'm not going back. I think the Undertaker wins that.
I'm all go with that. I'll put that on record. I think he needs to.
I think he's earned it. And my, in my opinion, and just keep it moving. That's all I'm saying.
Keep those belts moving. Give us give us a reason to shell out 40 bucks. Yeah.
I mean, if there's not at least two or three of these belts that change hands, he's one of those guys that his gimmick, uh, he Shawn Michaels, Brett the hitman, hard, the Undertaker, the bit will stand the test of time. And you will see you even talked about those guys, though. Those other guys had to change their bigs.
Actually, Shawn got rid of the heartbreak kid. He even kept the name. He wasn't the heartbreak kid anymore.
The Undertaker to me and CM Punk is the only other person. Yeah, but he's got me thought it, close to that. Well, if you're saying, yeah, on that subject, they're two guys that have to sell the bit.
That's why you never see Mark do interviews because Mark has to sell the bit and continue to do so. Yeah, we're thinking it's, uh, here we're thinking. I don't just want to be around him out of character.
Just one guy want to be around him because hey, bro, let's let's kind of be here. Tell me stories. Yeah, and that's it.
Tell me stories, Danny. Yeah, I mean, I'd love to see him out of that. I'm sure eventually, I mean, he's been working that bit for a long time 20 years.
Yep. And it's never gotten stale. I think there's some times where they made it to Campy, but it's never gotten stale.
But the time when it was Campy, it had to be Campy because that wasn't the business was. The fact that he's been able to be the dead man and be the dead man for this long. Even though he kind of went like the whole American badass thing, I wasn't on board with, uh, but that there was room.
That's what he really is. No, yeah, but I think he's a little bit more getting to be himself in the care, but it didn't do anything for me from a television standpoint. That was my thing.
It did nothing for me. The corporate ministry was a very, very bad chapter. I'll put that up.
Yeah, they made, they made Mark in a double worship. See in your blog, it's plugged the website. We have a website now if you haven't had a chance to check it out.

I'm sorry I was looking up something else and We move on to your main event which we're in the middle of those themes right now the six-to-half challenge Which is now a six-pack elimination Child makes sense for my swarf. Yeah, but the other thing too is Why wasn't an elimination match all along? Yeah, you know and This this goes back to that thing of I think once again no matter how this goes and we don't know how it's written I think that this keeps a lot of Guys in the batch.
Well, let's give you a participant here. You've got sheamus who's your champion John Cena Randy or Edge Chris Jericho and the next this is weight barric And I'll throw this out here. It might happen.
It might not happen, but I would like to see weight barric come out with that You and I talked about that for a month because it keeps somebody from actually having to do the job Exactly, it it doesn't if Cena loses hey who been no big deal if you know if And Andrew texted me earlier today his his sports opinion Huh is that Jericho wins this I think and that's another guy that and you know what great Don't nothing but help the business he ain't gonna have it long Nope, but I like to see him one more run. I just thought he got his final run in when he went out on top It does this soil that though if you let him run with it. I think so I think everybody wants that w at their wrestle mania moment and I think Chris Jericho defeating edge fireworks coming down belt raised that was his wrestle mania moment My thing and I and I love my charla She's like most she's like my sister and I will defend her to the death, but I don't want this doll back on See um I just don't it I don't I don't think it can be right now.
I don't think it makes any sense One thing about belts and I'll tell you this from what we've seen when you go back in time and you think about You know, we think about Rick Flare and I know it was said in promos with who's finding Rick Flare was the world Heavyweight title without that he was nothing. Yep. I think at times Brett Hart was the world wrestling Federation championship without that he was nothing.
I think we have gone above beyond where the belt puts people over I think seen us beyond belts I kind of like trippist. I think trips trips trips beyond belts. I think Vince might see too And as weird as this is for me to say if triple H is is your ww champion again It's almost a step backwards Yeah, I think you seem whether you've always said though you like tripp chasing the belt.
Yeah, I like harder than him having I like hunter trip. I like him having it about three months and then drop it in some weird fashion I like him with it for short time when hey man. That's one more off his deal towards Flare and then you walk away I want to tell you a little stat here about somebody in this match here.
Let's just you know we edge I think edge is a guy that I don't know what they're doing with him. You know what I think with edge And I'm gonna be perfectly honest with you on this set I put him in that hearty category Always a better tag champion than exist but you realize he's had 29 titles. Oh, yeah He threw that out there earlier this year and you know course four ww championships and five time world heavyweight champion Man, I tell you that's that's how that's a Hall of Fame resume.
Also the only man to win money in the bank and King of the Ring win money in the bank once and steal another one. Yeah. I mean I like the guy.
I've liked the bit. I love him heel funny heel. I don't like him crazy heel.
We talked about that Tuesday I don't know if it makes sense you realize if he wins one that's 10 only two men have more than triple H in the rock So the edge That is a missing one 12 times Austin was 11 16 that I'm talking about in w. I'm talking about w. Okay.
Yeah, flare. We all know flare 16, but I mean Badges on getting close to that level where he needs to be mentioned the same breath with stone close to you Austin triple H the rock I mean you're getting close to his career that And Adam's career is slowly twilighting and he knows and he knows it. I think he's doing the bits he wants to do I just I've always liked a guy man.
I didn't like the vampire bit But one rude once we got out of that deal. I was great with it. I but I don't see him winning either To me Orton you can't depend on him.
He's who's too hurt And he's gotten kind of diva asked yeah and There's a rumble repeat this and it can be beat verified and checked. You know there's some things going on back stage It raw right now I don't know if you listen to today. I'm sure like rob and some body else in the room.
Jaws hit the floor and You know with with this edge rain the Orton John Cena shameless triple H back stage Have you verified that yet? I have not verified that then and Chad and I haven't even had a chance to talk about it They there's this show too. There's a big big room There's a huge rumor that they are kind of running raw That they met of course, you know triple H being from the boss an area of shameless was wrestling for an Irish promotion up there that's how he ended up where he's at his through his relationship with Paul Levesk and Of course Randy Orton and triple H friends Yep, I'm of course John Cena being a main event guy.
You kind of hang around main event guys and then you've got it It's who's a long-tenured superstar Has never made any enemies outside name Matt Hardy in the business. So I think it makes sense But there's rumors that that's really some politics being paid played back stage at raw and I think if your name's not Edge Cena or Randy Orton you don't win this bill my favorite version, but I I have the I've got a prediction I think that Sting of the witch. I think what makes sense to me is one thing you can historically say about triple H He always gets his win back Yep No matter if it's Cena and not a champions two years ago in Dallas, Texas Yes, or whether it's Sean Conch Whether it's Hulk Cogan no matter who it's been make fully the rocks don't close to you But I think that's what's made him so great though is That whole thing of him becoming the hunter then becoming the prey But he always end up getting back.
Yes, his revenge and I think I think the only way I see this happening to really sell another pay for you Is probably shameless winning it and then him and then him having to go change his bridges after he holds up that title And The red rooster We're sitting here also watching star key 85 does a few joining a slate, but I think Harry Taylor had a belt That's just weird and I think is the minute shameless is now champion motorhead the boys crank up and here we go Yeah, because he did he did quote on quote take him out and I think you go into I don't I'll tell you one thing We're only gonna be one man walk out of that sale and it's gonna be triple H And it just adds that BA But I add you do a lot to his stigma that but I also think you've got again You've got to put gold on the nexus you've been doing this bit now for what three months and it could be a bear it It could be It could got to do something to further the agenda of this thing or it's gonna get stale and die on the mind Yeah, it could but it very very very well could do that But I just there's just something about it that makes me go Tripp comes back heel Just so has to he has to especially now if there's no shot. Yeah, there's no Sean and then of course We if you listen to say the whole Kevin Nash thing going on with it I mean that thing is getting weird and boy I tell you I don't know I what I do that not knows to we're back in the ring under the WWE banner Because only one man follows that Yeah, you ain't that old kid and you're about three hours out of here. Yeah, but read his Twitter feed I think he's happy much fun.
Yeah, Sean's happy till Sean's happy unless the dollar signs are right And I don't think I don't think the dollar signs are even him. I'm gonna be a factor for a while It's got money. He's got plenty of money.
Don't let that JBL story I think yeah, I think I think if trips back and Kevin's back and it's hey hey one more run click run I don't know but I'm getting way off the page here, but I don't know I think shameless wins that belt and I think that sets up hill in the sill made a bit shameless first triple age for that belt I'm so I'm still sticking with Barrett. I just think well and he makes sense too because once again nobody has to do the job Exactly, I mean if something I mean if something I would go. Oh, no, he seen this not gonna job the hammer Jared's but yeah, we want you bring in the elimination He don't have to pin anybody but it's winter and I like another slurb It comes down to Shamus and trip and Shocking that you know trip turns on Shamus one two three bear it's your champ Yeah, but you will see him and trip will be at hill in the sill it may not have to be for the bill.
I've got the Triple H heading up nexus angle. You can still play too. I mean there's a lot of ways I just I hope two people I don't want to see Involved in this and I know there's going to be some people here this out.
I said I don't want to see that belt on Randy Orton on John Cena I agree Cuz to me Randy's not approved he can he can even wrestle a year Yeah, I'm afraid before you could even dream I put the belts on him and I said this and we've said this I think that he's an I think he's TNA I've always thought that about him. I think his mate event quality is gone I don't think he brings anything to the to the uh I think he gets table. What did he do?
I think he's awkward turtle though Yeah, they got him in TNA. They got him playing a terminator right now. Yeah the robotic Randy Orton I hate that.
Where what happened to cocky funny Evolution Randy Orton. Why's it got to be this I'm a robot. I'm terminator.
I'm a robot. Yeah, I hate that I am from hatred. Yeah, as long as it's not them too.
I'm fine And they owe it to Jericho won't happen but my prediction is that it's going to either be bear it or shame It's to me it's the only two that makes sense If not it bear it doesn't win blow up nexus since some there are a lake since some the Florida and send a couple to smack down and we'll keep bear it There you go. We yeah I mean we have a viewing at Casa de Hose beast this Sunday You're going to try to join me for that. I will try I would love to have you in attendance.
There's been a long time used that you and I would have been a long time since I've done that sort of thing I'm hoping we could have won uh the one in November here at the studio Because we're going to try to be live as a we're going to try to be live that night before the show goes on the air That would be uh you know that is Stocks house Doc The great the great doc who I talked to today as a matter of fact Theme song is in the works. We have a theme song that's being written for the show very excited about that But where do we go from here? I mean we've I think we've kind of covered this question But where do we go from here?
I think all right now everything leads to hell in the cell which right now is everything at this Ill-go that's wait for it Wait for it Wait play in Metallica Sting oh I think you have to have a situation. I think everything at this when you get talked to over everything's pointing to survivor series. Yep So I think these here in Dallas, Texas for hell in the cell and I think that's going to be a situation that You might I mean I think trip might want to win it in a major I think he's a guy that he can pick and choose he wins.
You have to have a build up. You have to have a build up And and if he just shows up and wins the thing on Sunday, there's no build up. Exactly.
Well, you're right But I just I'd love to see him back with that bill. I think that's where he needs to be I think he's a 15-time champ and he he he lays it down then I don't think he's now. I don't know it just depends on house him and Sting's a him and Sting Him and Rick players relationship is right now.
What's with Rick doing all the talking he's done Soling his legacy. Oh, yeah, but I maybe trip thanks 16. You know what I'll be a 17 I still think trip feels about that the way Barry Sanders felt about Walter Peyton I just don't think trip wants to break that 16.
There's just something about I don't know me although Rick's now claiming 22. Okay, whatever They always Giovanni says 16. I'm going with Giovanni Sunday he'll get out of vices doghouse and maybe have a job.
Yeah, he's working for the braves in England And the braves is the last idea, but there's just something about this paper view that a lot of these things I'm and that's been the way it's been for the year. Yeah, I mean wins the last time they really put on up You went wild man. This is this is worth 50 bucks It's just one of them things.
I think they see for WrestleMania. There's a lack of talent You had two guys You had two classic guys that were older than anybody on your roster Steeled a show at WrestleMania two years in a row. Those guys have done that.
Yes, that's what 1 a 30 more So then she better develop some people fast That you and give some of these young guys a chain. I read today that they're talking about taking money in the bank and putting it back in WrestleMania They had to in the paper view. They need to the ratings on that were horrible.
Yeah, you know once again a paper view at the end You kind of went that's it We're we're roll a champion here. You're done. Yeah, I'm talking about I'm just talking about the straight-up the the whole way the the evolution the evolution the nexus Hard-ended.
Yeah, well, that's it. There you go. That's what we're doing.
Okay, nine. See no See no sound on top. We'll see yeah It didn't make any sense Well, I think there's a lot of booking on the fly right now.
I think that hurts the product That's what killed WCW was that booking on the fly which they did a lot of Speaking of which let's go to this new this little feature. We're gonna do this month now every every month and we do our paper view Preview show we're gonna throw something a little different at you Last month of course being a major. We did our our top five and bottom five favorite summer slam matches of all time I Was thing about one of those that they again the or you undertaker under faker Yes, the Viosy But what we're gonna do something that Cody and I talk about all the time when we're On what I'm enjoying a nice diet Pepsi and he's enjoying a nice beverage and we're playing darts in the garage out there in the great city of Royce Yes, and we talk about belts We talk about belts a lot not like belts like you get it clears accessories not those kind of belts We talk about wrestling title belts and You know you and I have known each other a long time kids that were born when we met her in middle school now.
Yeah of I don't know that we've ever truly resolved She you and I don't know that we ever truly will now, but we've decided that we're gonna take and we're gonna name our top five favorite belts And burn I'm gonna let you go first there. Okay I think when you Belts you can I didn't I think you relate belts to certain wrestlers. I absolutely Um my number five Was how about we go every other I'm good with the bounce mine.
I'm gonna go back my number five And if you think back I know we got a lot of friends that are bred to hit man heart fans Remember the old I always called it the double eagle Even though there's only one eagle on it, but it looked like it was a two-way Yeah, the old the two with the trick I always like trip with that belt, too They actually updated that belt with the blue Yeah, yeah, I was never a huge fan of that belt So I've got that when that's kind of the same, but I'm talking about the black one that Brett one five time That he's got on the cover of his book exactly a Sean Michaels first title rain was was very was like That was a dream Yeah, and that's the belt that Sean held until he won the WWE heavyweight title That's a belt. I think it's got some history behind it. I've always liked the look that belt actually debuted I want to say when we're the tournament that hoped that macho man Randy Savage was the first man to hold that belt What's he was that was WrestleMania four when he wanted to that tournament huh yeah, because the belt changed after WrestleMania three that was the belt they brought out at WrestleMania four so that belt had a long run Wow, there was some name your Rick Flair hit held that belt in the early nine these of course Sean Brett I mean, yeah, they're diesel held that belt Kevin Nash There was some some class around that title.
That's one of those belts that I've put in the last was never a huge fan of that belt But I like did I think it was if you watched wrestling in the 90s that Hogan held that belt like that was the belt Hogan held that belt sir. Yeah, I'm talking about the black one not the blue one You know when Hogan was in Grimmlins too new batch. He stood up did he have that with that belt I'm gonna have to go back up like yeah, Logan held that belt beat Yoko Zuna the nine at WrestleMania nine He left with that belt is the belt before not now Hogan Hogan won that belt there were some names behind that that title so my number five and we've actually talked about this on the show before Back even this was even before Horseman days Old old on Hell the old NWA television title and What I thought was really cool about this belt and we as we're watching star Kate a lot of those start of those NWA Had the same look to them and they were different colors or whatnot the TV belt had holograms of all the networks of it and it was It could hold he didn't hold that very long Yeah, yeah, and it wasn't it wasn't used very long because some of the networks were calling Turner going question they were calling crockin and going question now you can't put our Logos on your belt because those belong to us and then it went away But they were like the old cheesy 80s hologram looks to him I've always loved that belt.
I'll always love that but I can't find a replica of it anywhere But I remember it clear his day Always watch it on NWA world championship wrestling Saturday nights because remember before there was WCW World championship wrestling was a show It was not a company that was the Saturday night show was called world championship wrestling Great belt. I'm like I very I vaguely vaguely vaguely remember seeing this belt. I want to say it makes an appearance there On the horsemen set I think is where I've seen this belt before.
Yes. Yeah, definitely like it I like that. I think if you hey man way CBS will give you this amount of money And I think that that was at the time now events wanted to do that you wouldn't obviously use holograms But I think you could get box and ABC and NBC or it's pretty promotion for your note just just put the smack down and raw logo on it Yeah, at that point, you know I did you should take a look do a search on the ring of honors television title.
That's a good. I saw it Not it was awarded. I did.
That's a good look at belt. You know To something I know this dollar doing is talking about the TV title because it was a great belt. Yeah I know not understand.
I've always been a fan of the T and even WCW's last TV title I like All right back to you sir Number four is a belt that I don't know I know that there's some people in the room. This is one of my honorable mentions. Yeah, I like the original ECW title It was just that real kind of crazy Sloppy graffiti and had the barbed wire around it.
This was the belt that they actually they only had one belt and it was this So when oh, no, they had a TV title. I'm talking about their world title. There was no change Doug was took the NWA title and doing the garage.
Yeah, that this was kind of their belt And it was on their guy and I want to say some over there belts did not move Our very often I mean when a belt was dropped over there. It was pretty wild This was when then belt had that had the the kind of a sky blue kind of a background with the Almost like a spray painted type letter on it. I thought it was great.
I thought the belt symbolized with the Promotion was all about at that time I thought it was a great belt and I'm glad events kept it for at least a little bit At that point the events just killed the whole brand Yeah, but I thought I liked the way that and that's the belt that Rhino wouldn't give back Indeed now Rhino left the left the company and he was the last original ECW champion and he would not give that belt up When then so vent had to go out and make a new one, but that's that's a belt that when you if you remember anything about ECW And you remember the IWC before there was an IWC that was a PWI Yes, the only way you track ECW was to go through pro wrestling illustrated are publications There was no TV unless you're on the east coast so for guys like in Texas and Florida and Oklahoma and California Louisiana Whatever that's kind of the way it was and that's it. That's a great belt that I always liked and I know you can buy it shops on so My number four And I will contend that there were only two people that have their own belts You've seen other belts I'm sorry brother. I just taught chief while who McDaniel walk out on the screen quick quick note here if you watch the OU game Against Utah State While who McDaniel's all-time punt record at Oklahoma was broken.
Was it really I trust way 85 yard punt before that Should each chief while who McDaniel is he tagging with Dr. Dan stay another Dallas ant doctor every person that rings got a belt Yep, what that means got the Andresians I I wonder if those are like the North American, but that was too OU guys in there Anyway, there's only two people that have had their own belts John Cena who's on this list And stone cold Steve Austin the smoking skull belt is my number four and I've heard people say no the undertaker had his own belt No the rock had his own belt those were toys those were toys that were made to promote those guys Those guys never had their own belts And I dare you to prove to me otherwise I've gotten into arguments with people because they see these Rock belts that they know they made these little toy kids belts those were not official belts They were made by the company, but those guys never wore them the smoking skull belt Still one of the hottest items today to buy a right replica belt That's a four hundred dollar belt You know what I'll be honest with you man, I mean we're going back and forth here that was probably one of my least favorite really I love that I just didn't I didn't I had the Rattlesnake skin on the back it was cool the night it came out after that. I thought it kind of lost its usefulness And I will give barb wire.
I will give the million dollar belt and honorable mention as well Surprise that's not on your list sir. That's when mom will mention okay number three for you my number three for me We talked about this just maybe go is is a belt that I don't know why it hasn't been brought back or what's going on with it But I think that television title that we've been kind of been harping on on the honk The one that the last one you saw with it being Chris Jericho over in WCW I thought that was a great looking The one dug and found in the trash the same one and they never changed after it changed in the early 90s In WC they never changed So it had that classic look that you see with which you would see totally blanchered holding I like that belt and I think Vince is really missing I think he's missing the ball on that TV champion Especially when you have the brand separation he can go to both shows every picture view that when it when the two when the if it's on television That belt's on the line. Yes every Monday and every Friday and every paper And it's a normal AJ's doing in TNA co on the global title now the television title try to do that bit Speaking of TNA.
Oh, no, this is the Jay lethal. This is black cheese note. Oh, okay, but no I think that belt always had some usefulness around it always liked it I like that you like that kind of it hurt that But now I like him and I like don't I like stone cool Steve Austin held this belt stunning Steve Austin There's a lot of people that held this belt.
I thought the belt had some class and it you didn't put it on a guy that could work the stick Because you were going to be on television and you were going to be holding this belt So you always had a guy around it that had business holding it it went like sometimes we get these belts like we alluded to earlier that why why him why him So that's just my opinion my number three and we talked about this belt just so these belts Just a while ago the latest WWE tag belts. You like that love their classy They're not real tricked up. It's got that Monochrome one color Hammer yeah, even though it looks way too much like Michigan State But there's just something classy to it that brings back a simpler time And I think I think Vince hit a home run with this and I'm actually kind of surprised That Vince let this go.
I think I thought Vince might have thought those were too old fashioned But he let him go and I love these belt. Yeah, I like the helmets that kind of came out. I don't know where Yeah, there was no rumor of this boom money not raw new belts.
Yeah I'm glad because I got sick and tired of seeing those cats walking around with four belts. Yeah, it just It got to the point where it was stupid and although both sets of those belts were good belts I never had a problem with each of those the Smackdown belts kind of couple of gargoyles for glue I got used to him. I had to grow on me You know There we go zero show brother and my number two is a belt That I'm happy to say I saw it Sunday when I was at Richard House watching but should have brought it with me I owned this next belt and when we get our new studio belt, I think those belts need to be on the wall in the new studio and this was a situation that This was probably one of the belts that had a quite a bit of history around it I wouldn't say quite a bit sir.
Yeah, I would say a whole lot of it This was the original I know somebody wire put up the rumor of this was the original When you when you the original intercontinental title that you think of with savage right of course Not the original but but the one I call it if you are of our generation yeah if you're the your I call we I call the old school I see belt you call it what you want to This is very marquee. Yeah, be huge big by for a midcard belt very big That's one thing you say when when you when you open that bad. Yeah, if you remember that night It seemed to be a horse.
You got to have gold brother. Yeah, and yeah, and that was your first thing It was that this belt is huge. Yeah, it course you go down the line of course You know brother hitman heart macho man Randy Savage ultimate warrior Shawn Michaels.
I thought a lot of cats See both steamboat a lot of cats that became bigger cats held that cool cocky bad. Yeah Curt Henning yeah, so that belt carry on Eric held that belt sir. I just think that You get these people that around that belt.
I think it gives the belt some legit Around it. I love the design. I like the globe in the middle.
There's actually two versions of that One has a red globe yep with a and you can't find that anywhere and that's the one Savage was very popular in wearing But I love that belt and a lot of people don't they thought it was weird real weird and thought it didn't make any sense And it was too big the one now's horrible. What's up Brandon song checking in yeah But but again that was the belt that was the stepping stone to becoming world champ exactly if you could carry that belt You could be world champ exactly and I think that was part of the reason for the bulkiness of it because the world belt was so big How did a bigger belt look on a guy? Uh-huh if nothing else yeah, but I thought it looked I thought it was a great belt Of course I liked it how you could change the background You know Shawn more wore the white which I own Scott Hall kept it black.
He also changed it to silver Under taker have a purple one under taker had a purple one gold dust was gold that that one was cool You know there are a lot of you could also laser had a yellow one yellow one at one time had a black one Ultimate wear had an orange one You could change the back strap of it so the belt change it looks it looked so cool you can actually buy those different letters on Shot yep Could you have a customized toy in the cousin yes, you can buy the silver, but I thought that was a belt that had a lot of classy guys that held it and around it So my number two We talked about this a little while ago as well ring a varner had a huge belt overhaul about Four months ago the problem with that was they debuted him on their paper view But they taped so far and they actually didn't see him for a month and a half But the new ROH world title. It's it's very heartening to the eagle style of the belt It's not as round. It's more like more blocky But it's got all the different like they're tag belts you have all the different Country flags on it.
Yeah, very classy. I've not seen it That's all it online while you when I looked it up when you put it on there. I like it.
I hope that I hope that that we need Independence and there I mean they're getting the ratings on each of that It's not the greatest product in the world. It's not it's come a long way in a year and a half But it's got a long way to go. It's some of the worst production value I've ever seen in my life it reminds me of the old and w a sat W c w And W a world championship wrestling exactly but even that production value was better It's it's got a long way to go, but they've they're they're doing little upgrades here and there They're commentary team is terrible.
Who is that? Mike Hogwood and they praiseack are the two guys Great Dave praiseack is the guy you hear when you see the wrestler and the beginning when they're doing the montage Praiseacks one of the guys you hear doing commentary. Okay.
He's their heel announcer But he's this little weasley guy. He's just not very good at being heel Wow, yeah One night just check it out. You'll understand what I'm talking about.
I still DDR it because I like to I'm just such a student of the sport That I want to take in as much as possible I tried to take in something that was on one of these independent sport channels It wasn't New England power pro, but it was something up in that area and it was so bad I couldn't watch it. Yeah, there's something shot in somebody's home video Okay, there's some of the things that get kind of wacky Number one you're number one Actually we share number. Yeah because we bugged our grid We did not compile these we compiled them separately But we both had the same number one and if you know anything about either one of us you know what that number one is the big gold belt Yep Too much history.
Yep. Too much history. I mean when you've got then I know it's not flashy I think Vince did add some colored stones around it one time.
Yeah The replica I have has the reason and then the name plate is new Vince put the name plate on it There was never a name plate on it until Vince got it man. Let me tell you that that belt We could set here all not long and throw out guys But that belt is historically always going to be connected to Ric Flair Yes, sir. That's the belt that he wore there for the gold.
Yeah, Flair and then you also can probably go one a That belt will historically be linked to triple eight. Yep That was going to actually be going to be my next dummy That's the belt that tripped. I think when they when those are the two guys that look the best wear in that Yeah, and I still contend that when seen a war that belt It was a smaller version and it also cheapened in a little bit.
I think too. I don't think it's cheap I just think they shrunk it and one looked here. You know another guy that I thought look good with that strap was Orton Because his name yeah But how boy Bob his career neither his father nor his grandfather ever helped that belt I don't think no, but just he that name behind war and then Randy how ruckus is that green balloon You know when the camera shake it.
I mean that belt to me signifies wrestling the past 25 or 30 years in my opinion That is a belt that will stand. I hope when it does happen. I think Benz is getting right to get rid of it I'll say that and God rested soul to answer Brandon's question basically when you win the belts That is the belt that travels around, but you do get a replica of that belt to keep for yourself Yes, when you drop that belt you get a replica with your name on it That you get to use that's you're at that's a great question Brandon He's just asking is there one of each belt or the people in like a trophy I mean if you watch and look if you go back and watch the interview with the rock from last year for the WrestleMania of the Battle of Billionaires If you watch that interview with him that he did on SmackDown.
He's at home and behind him There is a trophy case that has every belt he's won now does that mean Rick has 16 of them? I don't know I know that now I don't know if you've ever had a chance to watch the original Rick Flair set That belt was on that belt you had to put $20,000 on the 25 25 grand 25 grand That was a belt when you were the WCW or in WA World Champion with that particular title You had to put down a $25,000 loan against it, and then you got that money back when you dropped the belt You got your and Rick Rick told Rick told Whoever that wasn't Crocodile whoever took the top and out of the great to Mr. Hurn Yeah, or CEO Pizza Hut You know come get my I want my belt back and he goes you bring me 25 grand with interest and he goes keep it and that's how that belt And I called fit fit that you got the belt and he said yeah, I get with you.
Bring it with you So if you do it's a pretty that belt has a lot of history around You know, they had to put the block on it to block it out in which the real story behind that is That belt was actually in Charlotte a lot of the times when Rick was doing that that was a tag team title That they were blowering out on that deal just to keep the effect of that going But that was actually back in Charlotte and he actually had that belt Back there when that and he's right trip Edge did have the belt for one night. That's right the right our five Super job on that man good job chat. I forgot about that and there's people I see people now and live shows that that you can buy that out people have had that belt on air And I'm like wow, I mean he had that yeah, he carried that belt for like two weeks But I do I do like the way that that big gold belt just has so much history around it Of course Rick brings it back.
It was the international title at one point. We're about to dare witness the Tully Blanchard versus the right Magnum TAA on Starkade 85 Totally got that red robe on that's gonna be one of these he's he's one of those guys we could do Yeah, Magnum's one of those guys we could do an hour show on but yeah, that's my number one and hey If you've got belts that you think are really or you can send pitched up It's from Wikipedia custom championship belt was designed and constructed for the rock Which featured his trademark Brahma bull logo in the center, which I've seen the replicas of but was lost in the mall and never appeared on television Wow And it was a if I'm not mistaken it was either blue or purple You're gonna you're gonna post that okay, it was lost in the mall. I was in the mail I'm sorry.
I can't read post that on the on the page We're gonna post that on the on the on the Facebook page wow But yeah, if you've got plates there if you've got belts that you're you think is our cool or maybe weren't mentioned here Or if you just want to buy one and give one to us and we're cool We'll agree to hey we you know post those pictures on our Facebook page email them to us I think it'd be really cool We want to see some of your ideas what you think are cool belts and don't forget to bookmark WWE dot the clubhouse with Robin Cody dot com If you go to our Facebook page look for the clubhouse podcast You can email us I am Rob at the clubhouse with Robin Cody dot com and I am Cody at the clubhouse with Robin Cody dot com We want to think of all of you for being here also the Twitter handles I am Cody PS Hawk and that's all one word and I am all one word.
