Special Edition WWE Royal Rumble 2013

Is a sooner or gain or production
It is 709 on the East Coast.
It is 409 on the West Coast.
It is Sunday evening.
It is the 27th of January in the year of our Lord 2013.
That means the club houses live on the air as we are every Sunday night at this time.
But tonight we have left the nurturing bosom of the mother's ship as a local station likes to say.
And we are live in person right here, Fox and Hound Richardson Texas in his time for the Royal Rumble Free Show.
We welcome you no matter how you're listening whether you're listening live on your stream, whether you're listening live on your portable device.
Or whether you're listening on the archive or if you're live in the room right now, we welcome you individually.
We don't care how you listen and we just appreciate you listening.
My name is Rob and I am the smartest man alive as the sign in the room currently states.
Joining me as he always does to my right.
A man that's driven almost as many miles as I have today.
That part I knew about.
He is set.
How are you doing?
I will sir, how are you?
Oh, road weary but glad to be here.
Oh, I know all about it sir.
You are currently listening to one of the Royal Rumble teams.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
We do have something to address here.
We do.
Yes, we do.
Yes.
Don.
Give me a minute and 42 seconds.
What's the one thing you wanted for Christmas?
The one thing I wanted for Christmas?
Never got it.
My Brittany Palmer calendar.
Shut up.
Now don't turn it off.
You pulled out but do not turn it over.
Do not turn it over.
Hold out.
This way?
Yep.
Now before you turn it over.
Okay.
Be in Brittany go way back.
Do you remember the Empire?
Good.
That's good to know.
That's good to know.
And she knows about you in the lovely town pit.
But she has feelings for you.
If she doesn't want to break up with you half.
I understand that.
So she will stop for you.
She did something for you.
Look at that.
That is a signed Brittany Palmer calendar by their kids.
Now the question is where the Michael Wing two put it.
Was it say on their work award?
It says Rob.
Love Brittany Palmer.
It's got the XO on it.
Oh.
I'm sure the lovely and talented Mrs. Urban is going to be thrilled.
Thank you, Todd.
I think the show just ended.
I feel kind of funny.
Like we used to have to climb the rope in gin class.
That's awesome, sir.
Thank you so much.
I have been sitting on that for weeks.
And I touched it.
Now then.
Oh.
Sitting on the knowledge.
Oh.
What you are listening to.
One of the Royal Rumble themes.
This is from the heavy.
This is called what makes a good man.
The other one.
I don't care what SmackDown tells you is not available on iTunes.
I don't care what they tell you because I looked yesterday and it wasn't there.
We're going to go over some headlines.
We're going to run the card for you.
And then if we have some extra time to kill, we've got some other stuff.
Because we are your one-stop shop for all things sports and entertainment.
Brandon just walked in.
Good to see you, sir.
The pounding shed.
Brandon.
If you've noticed.
Brandon's lost quite a bit of weight.
Congratulations on that, sir.
Because I follow what he posts on Facebook.
That's how I know that.
Get here now.
Five bucks gets you in the door.
You can spend 50 at the house.
I'm not here to judge you.
Actually, I am, but that's a different story.
Take that extra money.
Come here.
Some great food and drink specials.
Want to save, though.
In case you've been living under a rock.
Next Sunday is the big game.
It's a super game.
In a dome.
And if a dome turns upside down as a bowl.
And there's been 47 of them.
Watch the game here at Fox & Hound.
Get yourself a table.
And if you're deciding to watch it at the house.
We want to remind you.
Come by Fox & Hound.
If you get a bonus wings to go next Sunday for the Super Bowl.
They're by one get one free.
Not by one wing.
Get one free.
Buy one order.
Get one free.
That's only for takeout next Sunday during the big game.
So.
Watch it here, man.
It's not like there's not enough TVs to check it out.
I'm just saying.
But let's do some headlines.
Hall of Fame rumors.
Of course, this time of year fly around a dime a dozen.
But there was a couple that caught my eye this past week.
You hear the music in the background.
One of them is Scott Hall.
The other one rumored right now is Jake Roberts.
Way overdue for both of them.
They're both in case you don't know both of them right now are living at DDP's house.
Going through his yoga program with with the yoga and the detoxing and the rehabbing and the things.
So.
But there's also strong rumors that because with the Scott Hall rumor that they're going to put
the click in as an entirety.
Steven Zimmerman stopped that.
Because if there's ever a game, I need to end it at zero zero tie.
It is for to stay in Miami.
But they're talking about putting the clicking in as a whole.
Which would make Sean now the second two time.
Hall of Famer behind Rick Flair.
Two time.
Yeah, because Rick wouldn't invite himself with the horses.
Right.
Sean would've gone in by himself with the click.
So.
If this happens.
Before they put DX in.
That would make Sean a three time.
I'm just going to turn to the Phil Jackson of Hall of Fame.
But I'm saying though, is if they do a click when do they still do a DX one?
Yeah, because Billy gun and road dog were not in the click.
Shiner was not in the click.
I don't know.
I mean, they.
No, she was not click proper sir.
Okay.
She was not click proper.
David resows today's joining us.
It's good to see you, sir.
It is awesome.
Three 16 shirt from 1997.
Which is awesome.
Welcome, sir.
For those of you that may be live at the events in Phoenix.
Make sure you hang out outside for a while because Zach Rider is going to perform his new theme song.
Outside the arena tonight.
It's called Hoseki.
With Eve gone, is this a thing?
I don't even see why it's necessary.
I'm just saying.
And we have one thing I love about WWE is they're not allowed.
They're not allowed.
They're not afraid.
I didn't learn to speak English.
They're not afraid to bring names from the pass back.
Apparently later this year, there's going to be a best of in your house DVD set.
It will be hosted and narrated by.
WWE announcing great.
Question mark question mark question mark.
Todd Hetton.
He was seen at Stanford this week.
He finally let the cat out of the bag.
Late yesterday afternoon.
He said yes.
I am doing this thing.
And it was good to see some old friends again.
So we're going to have the return of Todd Pettengill.
Is that doing anything for you, sir?
I think it's him.
I'd rather have Pettengill behind the mic than Michael Cole and Rob.
Personally, but that's just Michael Cole.
Now that he's not he or Michael Cole is not bad, sir.
We want to tool always a tool.
Yeah, not give him a minute.
But that's just me.
Um, go ahead.
For those of you that we're hoping to attend this watching party in New York City.
There was a like she had said, there is a watching party in New York City for the
Rumble tonight that was supposed to be hosted by Tammy Sitch.
Good luck with all that because she's been arrested for a six.
Time.
Six times.
Six times.
Yeah.
She wanted to have more arrests than Booker T's had world championships.
He started it.
I did.
I did.
She violated the restraining order again.
At her fiance's house.
Can she not stand being away from this guy or can she not stand not beating his behind?
It's it's caught.
We're having a bittersweet night because I have the Brittany Palmer calendar here.
And my my favorite diva of all time.
Who was a a they I wouldn't say a boy crush, but maybe like a college early.
No, I don't rush a boy crush would be a huge stretch.
I was a college early 20s.
I'm not afraid to say I will die.
Oh, there he is.
It'll just make interest.
Look at this guy.
I do like that rock shirt though.
That's one of my more favorite ones in recent memory.
Oh, that they were about to.
So that's so that's a thing.
If she gets arrested one more time, does she get a toaster?
She get like a frequent balance card.
I think it's a steak knives at this.
No, not for her.
It's not.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Do you're about this flare thing, by the way, that he didn't.
That's right.
He did not show up for his all Japan pro wrestling.
He had a blood clot in his leg.
We need to start taking bets as what character L.A. is going to show up as at the
paper views.
I'm just saying we need to start web camming this thing every week on the show.
We do talk about the shows themselves and since we've moved the show to Sundays, we
can do that when we do the live shows that box and hand.
Let's talk raw.
As you know, I am a big Zack writer fan.
And I can't figure out why exactly.
Dude, did you see him on the night?
Don't the trunks have the the belt on them now.
The trunks have the internet championship belt on them.
And that's greatness.
Charlotte just showed up.
A little sister who has quote of the week.
If you saw my Facebook feed last night, or she stated that Morgan Freeman is the
Ruby sessions of film.
So great.
Five people in the room get that reference.
He was in the clubhouse.
You'd know that.
I'm just saying.
Every Sunday night.
Seven Eastern for Pacific.
I thought that was a win for him.
I don't tell you.
I want that belt.
I want a replica of the internet championship belt.
I know you do.
Love that belt.
So, and you, you know, I actually got to watch Raw Together.
Which we don't get to do very much because I work night.
First time in a long time.
No.
This is when I was on vacation.
We got to do it.
We got to watch together.
Oh, I'm just saying we didn't kind of consistency.
So let me make sure I've got the logic here straight.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Okay.
You're about to use logic and WWE in the same sentence.
I'm fully aware of that, sir.
Okay.
Fully aware of that.
If I buy a ticket to a live WWE event or get somebody to give me their ticket,
to a live WWE specifically police officer,
I can actually go in through the talent entrance.
Have my own entrance video play,
and before I get to my seat cut a promo in the ring.
Am I right on that?
If we're following WWE logic, yes.
So the next time Prince plays at the American Airlines Center,
five bucks if you pull that off.
Five bucks if you pull that off.
You're going to fail me out of jail.
That's why I won't give it you five bucks.
Because I got to hold onto the rest of it to bail you out.
This is true.
And, you know,
I know there are certain people and I don't want to stay their names,
but their initials are Steven Zimmerman,
who are Dolph Ziegler fans in the room.
Okay.
But to Dolph Ziegler fans, I have the following question.
If one owns,
if one owns,
the money in the bank briefcase.
Why does one care if one wins the rumble?
You already have the championship shot.
I'm very confused by this.
I don't,
the same logic is why people that already have an immunity
idle on survivor fight to win immunity.
But that's different.
You don't know they have the immunity idle on survivor.
They can hide it.
It's not,
he's had the briefcase for seven months.
Again, again,
WWE.
Say it with me folks.
Logic.
You know,
Dolph is up a valid point.
He catches in the briefcase wins.
When's the rumble?
He can face himself and wrestle maybe.
I am in.
I am in.
Done.
Done.
Done.
We already tried that once with the Undertaker,
and it didn't work out too well then either.
The Undertaker versus the Undertaker.
I think we all choose to not remember that.
Dolph Ziggler versus Dog Zahler.
You just have another member of the spirit squad,
die their hair blonde,
and that's true.
This is true.
You know what I mean?
And that's your wrestle man.
You would bet in on that.
That's your wrestle man.
You made a bet.
This is the exact bet.
Put himself over.
Skilling his own girlfriend.
What walks out with AJ?
The other one walks out with Vicky.
It's kind of a weird timelines crossing
the time space continuum.
Who drew that short straw?
And so Alberto Delrio.
I'm sorry.
Try that again.
Alberto Delrio.
I did say that as lightly as I possibly can.
That's true.
Never let it said that our Fox and Hound shows
are not entertaining.
But nobody rolled that one of you rolled an R.
And not one of you rolled an R.
Because somebody has to make up for the lack of entertainment.
That is the show.
But if I'm, if we're going by resting logic again,
once you get a face turn,
you're not allowed to drive out in the cars anymore.
I guess not.
Not after you rolled, not after you ran over Santa Claus.
That's a good point.
Maybe they'd be in the cars.
And they're keeping, and they're keeping the Mexican flag
on the bottom screen now because they haven't gone back to his name.
So I guess that's part of the face turn too.
I like him as a face.
He's very entertaining as a face.
How long does it last though?
Depends on what you do with Randy.
Because we still, and it's something that Misty and I were talking about a little while ago,
what are we doing with Randy?
Are we going to turn him heel?
Are we going to turn him heel?
Are we going to tweet him?
Because right now Randy is about as over as he's been in the last five years.
Yeah.
And Misty is about as excited as she's been in the last five years.
See, look at her.
She's, she's happy.
We love our Misty.
She just got all eyes.
Okay.
You damn right.
Your second Hall of Fame inductee is still not King Kong Bundy.
That was funny.
But he is Bob Backland.
Did anybody else look at that belt that he held for six years?
And you're like, I have belts bigger than that.
Like, we'll look at us.
Of course we have belts bigger than that.
But I mean like that belt buckle.
The Misty World Famous Misty rodeo is in our fair bird.
There are dudes there with bigger belt buckles than that belt.
And this is true.
They're probably not.
I mean, God deserves it.
I don't know who you have induct him.
Because most of his peers have shuffled off this mortal coil really.
That would be awkward.
No, no, no.
He wrestled bread hard for the title.
Yeah.
That was okay.
Yeah.
Then he started wearing bow ties all the time.
But the guys do.
I'm not arguing him as being a Hall of Fame.
He's great.
He's definitely.
We are 34 minutes away from the Royal Rumble.
Not only the first pay per view of the year,
the first major of the year.
Get here now.
My favorite major.
It is your favorite.
I'm more of a survivor.
It's not a favorite.
Well, Rumble.
I'll take the Rumble over summer slam.
Just don't let me down this year.
WWE, please.
But we'll get to that one.
Great to card.
Five bucks gets you in the door.
We are live from boxing.
How the Richardson Texas just west of Central Expressway.
We're on the north side of the road.
Right behind McDonald's.
Don't drive very far.
You're going to miss us.
And this room is filling up quickly.
Very, very fast.
We have probably at least doubled the number of people in this room.
Since we went on the air.
Yep.
About 20 minutes ago.
So I remember our normal show.
Every Sunday night now at seven Eastern.
We're keeping it consistent.
Notice he just had normal show.
But not next week.
Okay.
We're taking next week off.
Because we're not going to do a show during the Super Bowl.
That's just not smart.
It's bad business.
But after tonight we're going to take next week off.
We will be back on the air week after next.
Make sure.
If you haven't decided where you're going to watch the Super Bowl yet.
This is the place to do it.
Absolutely.
Get here now.
Great food and drink specials.
I love the food in this joint.
So good.
Looking forward to it.
All right.
Can you in the face, David?
In the face.
Let's let's talk impact.
You, you talk impact.
I'll listen.
For those of you that don't know.
They're on the European tour right now.
They are filming the next three weeks of impact.
Right now.
So it's like old school TNA.
When you had to pay for it every Wednesday.
And they taped them all one month at a time.
My first question is about ACEs and AIDS.
And apparently I haven't read the spoiler.
But apparently we have another member of ACEs and AIDS and mask this week.
I don't want to know.
Others too.
Don't want to know.
But do you think real motorcycle clubs are offended by ACEs and AIDS?
Fans of sons of Anarchy are offended by ACEs and AIDS.
I don't want to know who it is.
Okay.
Don't say as he called it.
So when I watch it Thursday night, Friday morning whenever it might be.
I just, I watch this bit.
And I'm like real motorcycle clubs.
They can't be happy about it.
And that is not a cross section of America that I really want to hack on.
No.
I don't want to take them off.
And there are 11 of them now.
I did an ACEs and AIDS.
Yes.
I did a head count on Thursday.
There are 11 of them now.
It's overkill.
Well actually, you know, it might now be 12 because of Mr. Anderson.
Because he wasn't out there with him when they cut the promo originally.
And I, you know, I may have now traded Michael Cole for Mike today.
Because you know, as you know, on this show,
I have taken Michael Cole under my wing.
And I'm giving him tips on how he cannot be such a debug.
Wow.
I have now, I have now traded Michael Cole for Mike today.
And I'll tell you why.
Mike today.
Like last week on the show, we talked about how you cannot sell me on Mike today's MMA prowess.
You can't do it.
I'm sorry.
The prowess as a fighter or prowess of the knowledge of his knowledge.
Like this is my favorite person in the pants of weight division.
Don't you spell pants of weight in my mind.
If it's not about luchadors, I don't need your expertise.
What he can't convince me of now is that the impact zone is in arena.
All over the arena.
That is a studio at best.
That's a bingo hall.
You could take the number of people that we have at Fox and Hound right now.
And you could sell out that arena.
Pretty good.
And at some point, aren't you just dying to get, you know,
Shavani in there.
Just to see what, I'm okay with Shavani on any of these shows.
One of my favorite announcers of all time.
Because he referred to wrestling as our sports.
That's true.
And it is our sports.
I mean, just, I've got no real issue with Tas, but
Bring in.
Bring in Shavani and Zabisco.
Oh.
That was though.
That would be because I cannot watch impact as you will know.
I can't stomach.
It's not that you can't watch it back.
You won't.
I won't.
You won't.
You have the physical capability.
Yeah.
You've watched again.
You put Zabisco and Shavani at that table with Tas.
I'm in.
I'm in.
That would be enough to get me to watch at least.
Yeah, but now that Tas is at aces and eights.
Well, then just make it Zabisco and Shavani.
I'm good with that.
Because this other guy they've got at the table absolutely spares me to death.
Just make it a nitro table.
Notes above array.
If you are indefinitely suspended.
Coming to the ring wearing an impact wrestling hat.
Not really selling that.
Well, hey, if the rock can get it.
Nevermind.
There's that stupid logic thing again.
That's going to be on the back of our new shirt.
I think just wrestling.
Logic.
We haven't.
We haven't had to see.
We can copy right that.
Not just wrestling.
Logic.com available.
I'm telling you.
Well, I think we're on to something.
Just hashtag wrestling.
Logic.
We are 28 minutes away from the start of the Royce.
From the start of the Royal Rumble.
Your next paper view is February the 17th.
Really?
Yep.
That's for elimination chamber.
How?
I lose track.
That's why you've got me, sir.
Yeah.
I keep track of these things.
This is my job as it's actually.
He's a fact checker.
You're the calendar guy.
I'm the executive producer.
I have to keep track of these things.
But we.
Fox and Helen is gracious enough.
Let us do this.
So we think them again for letting us do this.
If you can't be here live.
Make sure you contact your local cable satellite provider.
Internet source.
I'm not here to judge you.
Yes.
I am.
Oh.
The pre show is underway.
Free for all is underway.
And we're going to go over the card here in just a minute.
Couple of SmackDown notes.
By the way, if you are a fan of such things Tuesday.
Is the release of Best of Raw and SmackDown on DVD and Blue Ray?
That's probably about a happy disc.
But it depends on how far back they go.
Because if it's the best of Raw and SmackDown in 2012.
Our show lasts longer than that.
Wow.
That's an HT.
But you can film the disc if you've teamed it with the best of NXT and Superstars and Saturday
morning slam.
Then you'd be good.
The real of the XFL.
The animation table will be in New Orleans.
That's right.
They're going to go to the 17th.
That's the.
So, you know, take care of your Valentine for Valentine's Day.
And then that following Sunday will be good.
It's also the day before President's Day.
Ah, hot.
Also, as you may or may not know, if you are a fan of WWE video games,
THQ, which handles a WWE video game shut their doors on Friday.
But another company has already picked up the license.
Not exactly a slouch company either.
Take two interactive.
Tell the kids who they are.
Since you are our tech guru.
These people have handled parts of the grant F.D.
O series if I'm not mistaken.
Okay.
With Rockstar.
I'm on board with that.
And there was a bunch of DLC released the day teach to close their doors.
Yeah.
So let's talk smack down.
What are we doing with Natalya?
Why are we ruining her?
We've been ruining her.
Now she's coming out to Collie's music.
Huh?
Yeah.
She wrestled in a match on Friday by herself.
By herself.
Dolly, come out.
Oh, no.
The Collie and Horn Swan will we're at ring side.
But it was kind of funny.
I want you to picture this in your mind, sir.
Do I have to?
Yes.
It's very funny.
They're at the announced table.
Horn Swaggle is sitting on Collie's knee.
You probably looked like a ward.
It was like a Jeff Dunn on the situation.
Oh, gee.
It was very funny.
I thought it was great.
But now she's coming out.
We're just ruining Natty.
And she could be the best female wrestler you have in the company.
Until we debut Sarah D'Array.
Who did she piss off?
How did she piss them off?
I don't know.
I'm intrigued by this.
I truly, truly am.
I don't know.
I would call it intriguing.
Just infuriating.
So I was watching this segment where you had punk calling out the shield.
And then rock shows up in, you know, shenanigans.
We know that one of the stipulations in the WWE Championship match tonight.
Is that at the shield interferes in the match?
Punk is stripped of the title, right?
Correct.
As Vince said that on Raw.
Here's a question.
What if they interfere in attack punk?
Does he still get stripped of the title?
Well, what you just going to call the name of this episode, wrestling logic?
Wrestling logic.
Well, they just said if they interfere in the match.
Did they say if they interfere in the match in attack rock?
No.
The stipulation is if the shield interferes in the match punk is stripped of the title.
Okay.
That was Vince's words.
So seems pretty serious.
I can't do that.
You're going to win.
You're going to win like a sounded last week.
Yeah, it was not pretty.
Do it better though.
Good.
Thank God.
And so we get to the end, Docs here.
Good to see you, sir.
So we get to the end of the show.
Docs can't get a chance.
I think Doc deserves a chance first.
We get a chance.
Can we get a chance going here?
No.
Okay.
Doc.
Can we get a Doc chance going?
There we go.
That's what you get for tries.
That's what you get for trying to queue the Empire, sir.
He did his dictator wave.
So we get to the end of the six-man elimination tag team match.
Could Frenchy have oversold the weight of the announced table more?
He acted like the announced table weight was as much as a view it.
And we've seen people go through that thing.
It's made up also work.
Yeah.
Paper airplanes are sturdier than these dead gun tables.
22 minutes away from the paper view.
Food is coming out.
Beverage is our flowing.
Good times are being had.
As we are at Fox and Hound and Richardson Texas.
Remember if you miss any part of the show.
It's on archive.
Go check it out.
And remember our normal show, which is about a little bit longer than we do this show tonight.
Every Sunday night, 7 o'clock Eastern.
We are on the air.
We hope to have an update for you here moment, Terrily.
Because now it's time to run the car.
Oh, hiccup.
You okay over there?
Almost broke your neck.
The YouTube pre show, which is on the air currently.
United States title on the line.
Antonio Cesaro versus the Miz.
I still like Claudio Casino, he's a better name.
But that's just me.
Sir, do you think Cesaro drops this title on a YouTube match?
It's happened before.
I don't know, man.
They're pushing him to the moon.
Yeah, but we're pushing Miz to the moon right now too.
But the Empire has spoken.
I like face him as better though.
I really do.
Yeah, but they kind of castrate him whenever he goes full over the top face.
But he's never been full over the top face before.
But I don't know.
I'm not sure if I like this version of Miz.
It's like he's overcompensating.
He's like you're killing all in a certain point.
Well, I'm just maybe you.
Just me.
Yes.
He's the one with the Mustang anyway.
I am.
I'm not afraid to say that, sir.
He's like your kid whenever you get on to him and ground them and he goes out of his way
to be extra nice to you from now on.
So you don't ground him worse.
It's almost like how Miz is acting to me.
Then we get into the paper view itself.
Now these are in no specific order.
Just in the order, I think they're going to go on the card.
Just announced yesterday afternoon, Davis title on the line.
Caitlyn takes on Tamina Snuka.
I wish I cared.
I really wish I cared, but I don't only have to see all cages involved.
I just caught.
I got nothing.
Bathroom break.
Bathroom.
Okay.
The first batch on the card.
We're just going to get it out of the way.
Just break the seal now.
You're going to be fine.
Sparky.
We've had four beers in the arena.
Now it would be a good time.
World Tag Team Champion Ships on.
On line.
Both of these teams will be doing double duty.
Sandhouse students.
They are the same.
That's true.
That's true.
Team Hell No versus Team Rhodes Scholars.
I think they dropped the titles tonight because now that they've graduated from anger management,
what better time to take the titles away from them.
Zimmerman says if Rhodes Scholars wins, the bets will still be tainted just on the strength of Cody's mustache.
I think I think that is an unfair advantage.
And we may have to have an investigation of that.
He said this is not a valvina's throwback match.
Doc's favorite rest of all time.
I'm not mistaken.
I can imagine.
Right there.
Okay.
Oh, there it is.
World Heavyweight title match.
Last man standing.
Frenchy versus Alberto Del Rio.
I'm sorry.
It's a last man standing rematch.
I apologize.
Okay, I heard the roll that time.
I'm sorry.
I was distracted by Brittany Palmer.
Yeah, you don't have to drop the title yet.
You can't.
I'm almost to alert Frenchy right off into the sunset mode.
Yeah, I'm done.
Yeah, I'm so over Frenchy now.
I'm not over Frenchy.
I just were running out of people for him to fight.
I've been over Frenchy for a while.
I don't think he's.
I think he's deadweight personally.
WWE title on the line.
You've waited for it since summer slam.
It happens tonight.
CM Punk.
And if you listen in the distance, you can hear the millions and millions of the
rock fans chanting his name.
I've said it before.
And I will say it again.
CM Punk drops the title tonight.
Thank God if it does.
But you know what?
I'm going to give credit where credits do.
So I've seen Rocky schedule for now and so WrestleMania.
Uh-huh.
He's going to be on almost every Raw and he's doing at least three SmackDown.
Good.
But you know which Raw he's not going to be on?
The one here?
The one in Dallas.
Of course.
They'll be on the one before it.
He'll be on the one after it.
He won't be on the one here.
Also, again, if the shield gets involved, punk gets stripped of the title.
We shall see.
Then the reason they call it the Royal Rumble.
A 30 man over the top rope battle royal.
Battle royale, which maybe with cheese.
I don't know if that's the school you come from.
We're going to go over right now.
The people we know will be in the rumble.
And we will go over the people that are speculated to be in the rumble because they are in Phoenix.
Right.
Antonio Cesaro.
We'll be in the rumble.
Brought his clay already in.
I'm good.
I know you are.
He is the focusorist there.
And he's the only living, breathing focusorist in captivity.
Yeah, moving on.
Cody Rhodes.
Wow.
He was there.
The mustache will have its own entry.
Damien Sandal.
Which may take him 10 minutes to get there with his ring entrance.
Daniel Bryan.
Boy, that shit died on the vine.
Didn't get in.
Darren Young.
Dolph Ziegler, who as we know from Royal will either be entry number one or entry number two.
That means two things.
Because Vicki's a bitter old tag.
True McIntyre lead base player for three MB.
Cheese.
Keith Slater.
Jay Uso.
Jimmy Uso.
Jinder Mahal.
Here we go.
Juan Cena.
Kane.
Wow.
Let's not get past him.
Yeah.
Kofi Kingston.
Michael McGillacuddy.
What?
Is an official entrance in the rumble this year.
Randy Orton.
Right back who was late to his meet and greet at access on Saturday.
He was late to his late.
She Amis.
The great colleague.
Speaking of taking forever to get to the ring.
The Miz.
Titus O'Neill.
It's interactive theater now.
Wade Barrett.
And NXT had an eight man tournament at access this weekend.
And the winner of that tournament got a spot in the rumble.
His name is Bo Dallas.
And the rumor now is he will be part of the full-time roster starting tonight.
Who is this guy?
He's somebody from NXT.
That's what I got.
Now after that, there are still six spots remaining.
If my public school math does me properly.
There are a number of names that have been rumored in the last few days.
One of them being Carlito.
He is in Phoenix.
Shelton Benjamin.
Also a rumor right now.
Without his mama.
Thank God.
Mark Henry is in town.
The godfather is in town.
Somebody that was on Chad's list last week.
A biggest wrestling falls from Grace.
Your number 10 as a matter of fact.
Gregory Helms.
Yep.
Is in Phoenix.
Someone who is rumored to be on the TNA roster.
Maybe maybe not.
Is in Phoenix.
His name is Chris Masters.
Yep.
That earlier.
And somebody who earlier today on Twitter said.
Myself and the knee brace are in town.
Maybe one last run in his name is Kevin Nash.
Oh dear God.
The biggest question seems to be is the shield going to be three spots of the rumble.
Is going to be three years going to be one.
They would have to enter separately.
Because if you're going to make team robe scholars be two separate interesting.
Then they have to be three separate.
But one person we know has said he will not be involved in any way to perform his DDP.
That's a good thing.
No.
I like page.
He doesn't need to be doing this anymore.
And Dougan does.
Because you know they broke Dougan out there every other year.
Dougan just needs a paycheck.
DDP's making money.
DDP is on the verge of making a lot of money if he pulls off this thing.
I know.
He doesn't need to wrestle is what I'm saying.
The rumble always has surprises.
Always.
You know I'm with you though.
This could this could now be.
Underneath WrestleMania could be my number two favorite major of the year.
Of the four.
The room is filling up.
We're actually bringing in tables from other rooms.
That's how full the room is getting.
Don't get here.
And we're going to be like, sorry about your bad luck.
Because this thing is happening in 11 minutes.
We are almost there.

SPZ34 for Stephen and Charlotte Parker on Pinterest.
Who can't yell out enough for it to reach up here.
She doesn't even know we were talking to her.
As it stands right now sir.
Great.
The card.
I will take a sip of my tasty beverage.
I will hang up and listen.
Just what is written on paper.
I give it a B minus but I will give it a solid B of Harley race pulls off the win.
Stop it.
I am going to say.
I am going to say a solid B.
B with a minus potential.
Possibly.
Because there is always managed to sneak in another match on us that we didn't expect.
So it depends on what that is.
Well the I.C. straps.
Because who's got the I.C. doesn't have the I.C. type though.
Who's got the I.C. type right now.
Don.
Who's your intercontinental champion right now?
Who's the intercontinental champion currently?
Right now right now.
It's Wade Barrett.
Wade Barrett.
So Wade Barrett not on the card proper.
You could have an intercontinental match tonight.
I thought he was.
He's in the rumble but he's not in a matchout.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm saying solid B with a minus potential depending on who wins the rumble.
Right.
Because one thing we haven't said yet.
Who are you predicting to win the royal rumble in the year of our Lord 2013?
I already threw that out there.
That reference has been made.
Are you asking me?
Are you asking me?
I guess so.
That's what I am asking you.
Okay.
All right.
Hang on.
Who am I predicting to win the rumble?
That is the question that I have asked until you at this particular juncture.
John Cena.
Now hold on.
Let's clarify.
Is that who you think with the rumble?
Yes.
You want to win the rumble.
No matter who I want to win the rumble.
That's who I think will win the rumble is saying.
Who would you like to see when the rumble?
Uh.
The Undertaker.
But he's not involved in this.
They're not here tonight.
They're not bringing him out to the rumble.
So we think.
That's the plan.
Who will I think wins the rumble?
I will agree with you.
I think John Cena wins the rumble.
Because that way we'll have Rock Cena too in WrestleMania.
Who would I like to see when the rumble?
Let's kind of a spare list over all this year.
That's why I really can't take anybody.
Nothing really just like to see Barrett win the rumble.
Because if you remember, he was supposed to win money in the bank last summer.
He was supposed to be.
He was primed for a monster push.
Where he was going to win money in the bank.
And they were going to put the belt on him.
So why not make up for that and let him win the rumble?
I don't think he's ready to go over that big yet.
Again.
I think he's got potential.
He's got potential, but I don't think.
Just don't put him in a crappy stable.
That's why I'd like to see what it.
But that these might open you.
Wait for it.
I'd be happy of shameless one if I guess.
She was one last year.
So.
Austin wanted two years in a row.
You're going to put shameless in Austin the same set.
No.
Real estate.
It's not unprecedented to have two people the same guy winning two times in a row.
Put those two in the same breath.
I'm just saying.
You now have six minutes until this thing gets started.
We're going to tear this thing down so we can enjoy the rumble as well.
Five bucks gets you in the door.
I'm enjoying us at Fox and Hound in Richardson.
Again, visit our website www.theclubhousepodtest.com.
Like our page on Facebook, look up the clubhouse podcast.
Again, we're not going to have a show next week.
We want you to enjoy the big game.
We will be giving you breaking headlines and things on our Twitter feed at clubhouse show.
Uh, we have results from your YouTube.
Do we have a new US champion?
The correct answer is no as Antonio Cesaro successfully depends the US title against the mince.
Make sure you follow this show on Twitter at clubhouse show.
I would really greatly appreciate it if you would follow me at yes that Rob Irvin.
That is called the E-R-M-V-I-N.
As would I at Chad N-B-G-6-9?
Shut up our ground, Pinterest!
We've got to get that record as well.
I don't have to keep shouting that every time we get to record it.
I've put them when we're working on, sorry.
So until two weeks from tonight at 7 o'clock on the East Coast 4 o'clock on the West Coast.
For Chad, for the clubhouse empire, which who we love and we adore you guys.
