It is Sunday night.
It is 702 on the East Coast.
It is 402 on the West Coast.
It is the 26th of January in the year of our Lord 2014.
It is season 4 episode 29.
The clubhouse podcast is live on the air if you are new,
This is weekly episode 205.
We are live at Fox & Houses in Richardson, Texas.
As we have been for quite some time now.
Because it is time for the pre-show for WWE Royal Rumble.
Get out here and join us.
Five bucks get you in the door.
You can spend 60 at the house, but even my public school man says that's a bad idea.
So in the extra money here, great food, great drink specials.
Come hang out with us just west of Central Expressway on Campbell Road right behind the McDonald's.
My name is Rob and I got a new toy to play with this weekend and it makes me happy.
Joining me to my right as he always does.
Last week he took the week off. He had a note from his doctor.
He is a man.
So he's getting ready for the big game next week.
That's why we gave ourselves the week off next week.
He is chat.
Good evening sir.
Good to have you back on the show.
But don't think he took a full vacation because he was in the chat room last week with us.
Yes.
You are currently hearing the theme for WWE Royal Rumble.
Two chains at a Whiz Khalifa called we own it from the fastest period 6 soundtrack.
We will be live from Don's favorite city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
And 56 minutes. Now if you've never joined us or never checked out our show before.
Normally, we are your one stop shop for all things sports entertainment.
But since we're here at Fox and Hounds, we are going to be wrestling intensive for the next hour because that's what we do.
And a big night tonight.
Because as of tonight, we have done every paper view here at Fox and Hound for the last three years.
Next month we'll be our third anniversary with Fox and Hound.
And we couldn't do without you guys.
Without the Empire man, we know this doesn't happen.
So we'll do a lot of those mushy thank yous and stuff in elimination chamber.
But we've done everyone three times hell.
In this building.
I could feel the gray hair is growing now.
I'll already have them.
I don't even have to feel them. I know they're there.
They're always in the go-tee too.
They are, you know, they're multiplying in the go-tee.
That's where they're most noticeable.
We start with corrections as we do every week on this show.
I listened the last week's show outside of of Doc saying things that were incomprehensible because they were in German.
I think we were good.
It comprehensible or international tone.
And he was also contributing to the delinquent of a minor as he had done drinking on there.
I don't know what that means.
A minor.
A minor.
Had a great time last week though.
Oh yeah, yeah.
Hunter was with us in studio at least for a little while.
Oh God.
So he was factory person.
That was your, that was your backup plan.
So here's the plan.
We're going to talk about the week that was in our sport.
Then we're going to run the card for you.
And then we're going to grade the card.
That's kind of what we do when we're here at Fox & Hound.
I do have, I believe I have a copy of Doc's official prediction, so we're good there.
You ready to dive in?
Let's do this.
Let's do this thing.
Do your god and heaven.
You have blessed me in so many ways this weekend.
I'm asking you for one more.
I have my cup ready.
It is standing by.
Let this be the night.
The skies are clear outside, so there's no storms that can knock out the signal.
Let's be boredom of here on WWE television.
I have brought extra underwear in case I need it.
They did.
We stopped by Walmart.
He got some defense.
I'm a little nervous right now.
I'm not going to lie to you.
I don't doubt it.
You've only been dreaming about this for the past.
How many years?
Since I was about 12.
Yes, it was a long time ago.
Well, especially since it's been a lot of WCW.
Okay, I'll give you a 2002.
It's been teased way too many times.
There are conflicting reports as there always are with sting.
Misty posted a link to my Facebook page that creative is working on his entrance.
Does it happen tonight?
I'm going to ask you for your official for it because I'm jaded.
You know me on this.
Does this happen tonight?
I don't know.
I want it to happen.
Don't say yes.
The official fact checker in the show.
I want it to happen, but I don't know if they're going to push it because everyone
would be expecting it to happen, I think.
If Twitter and the contract tear up and everything happen.
So soon.
It's almost, it's one of those things.
It's too good to be true.
If you think Doc lost his cool when Rob Van Dam showed up,
that it's child's place, sir.
What you heard would make number one and box office last week.
Yes.
Child's play.
I'm going to think puts up on his Twitter feed on Friday.
Probably the most famous quote about him.
The one thing you know about sting is nothing's for sure.
I'm freaking out a little bit right now.
I'm freaking out a little bit right now.
Do we discuss the other rumored entrance in the rumble here?
Well, segue, sir.
I was going to take a sip of my tasty verb version.
You segue it on me.
I've got the story I pulled up right in front of me right now.
There are three guys that are in Pittsburgh right now.
One is named Shamus.
One is named Chris Jericho.
And one is named Kevin Nash.
Now Shamus and Jericho are in town for like a world of wheels thing,
like a car show that they're doing autograph sessions at.
Nash is in town last night hosting a party of some form,
where he was hanging out with a bunch of ROH guys.
The Harris Black, it's died again.
The Goaties Black, it's died again.
Shamus, I would put the best odds on,
because he's the only one of the three under true contract.
Nash is on a legend's field.
Well, those three names that you mentioned are neither of the names
I've got pull up in front of him.
Oh, really?
Yes.
So you've got two more.
Please do.
There have been talks of bringing in two cold Scorpio.
I'm on board as long as it's not Flash Punk.
And one Jimmy Wang Yang.
Yes!
Make that happen!
Yes!
You know I'm a fan of Jimmy Wang Yang.
You know I'm a fan.
He put on Twitter the other day on the 21st actually.
My last few days have been pretty interesting.
I got a question of what's everybody's favorite number.
I'll tell you mine Sunday.
I'm in.
I thought Jimmy Wang Yang.
I thought that would get your attention.
One of the greatest bits in the last 15 years.
So Jimmy Wang Yang and Flash Punk as possible entrance into the rumble.
I'm on board with that.
Would you be okay with a Flash Punk Brody Square program?
Yes.
That I would definitely like to see.
But he's abandoned that bit.
But this is the rumble.
We've seen stranger things happen.
Buy a country mile.
We talked about him on this show last week.
There we are.
We were starting to get worried about you guys.
I was about to send out a search morning.
The Empire starting to fill up the room right here at BoxinHound.
Get fired up there.
This is your favorite favorite view.
Absolutely.
So.
It's the easily the most unpredictable.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Although we know who's going to win.
But still.
We don't know anything.
Oh that's a good point.
Also.
Oh, I don't know.
This is back this up.
Oh, we got to back this up again.
Because I thought I had another theme song.
We're cute up.
But I don't.
Ziegler has been cleared to return.
He's been working out.
We don't know for sure.
Or not if he's going to be in the rumble.
But he has been cleared by doctors from when I've read.
I know a couple of people that that should make very happy.
Although one of them I still don't see.
That's fair point.
So.
Right back is going to be at WrestleMania.
This I know excite you greatly.
Yeah or not.
And the rumors we've been hearing for weeks is that right back with face Goldberg.
Okay.
But apparently.
They can't come to terms on money.
Can somebody please remind Bill Goldberg who he is.
They can't.
I love that you don't get me wrong.
But they can't come to terms with this Goldberg not have cash.
He's making it hands over fist on that speed that we're getting.
I think so.
So since we can't come to terms with Goldberg.
Right back scheduled now opponent for WrestleMania.
Is Jim Hellwig.
Oh no.
Who you know is the ultimate warrior.
Oh no.
Will it be Epical?
Well.
Crazy works well with crazy I guess.
Just don't let them cut promos on each other because nobody will understand any.
Oh yeah.
We'll need a interpreter.
You better have your captioning ready.
And you can imagine the four transquite.
What?
What?
What?
What?
I'm just a question mark question mark unintelligible.
That's what it would say.
Yeah.
Unintelligible gibberish.
Unintelligible gibberish.
So there's that.
What a bad idea that is.
WrestleMania actually happening in April again.
Misty's gonna be there.
Yes.
Are you guys gonna go?
The whole table over there.
Oh, we're looking at the video screen back here in the corner.
My leader, one of my leaders.
Easy.
We're easy lovers about to start.
Oh, you're your mind got a little blown last night with some eyes.
I know, I know.
Phil Collins working with Adele.
That's a great day.
But we're not here talking about music.
We're not about wrestling.
We got to get him to roll.
Let's do.
I have to get out my notes.
And they're actually in the same room with me this week.
So we're good.
I just have to cue them up.
So roll.
We're all happened.
As we know, Batista returned this week.
So how long has Dave been gone now?
Five six years?
Four.
Dave, Batista.
Still struggling with promos.
Still struggling with wardrobe choices too.
Oh, don't even get me started in wardrobe.
I'm no fat.
I'm no fashionista.
But I was 2,000 miles away.
And those pants were too tight for me.
That's all I'm saying.
Like those pants beat me uncomfortable.
We had to tell him that you just used fashionista and a sentence referring to Batista.
He didn't try to make a clever ride.
Oh, that was a missed opportunity.
Yes, somebody.
I'm disappointed.
But that's not the first time in the show.
Yeah.
But it was just like he got to the ring.
And it was like,
Is he gonna talk?
And then you went, oh, we probably shouldn't have.
He did his, he did the best.
He could.
He had to have had some acting lessons somewhere with the movies he's been doing.
Yeah, but that's a different level of acting acting.
So, Cole's talking about the rumble.
And he said something because I have to quote this.
Because you know me.
I have the sense of humor of a seven year old.
Yes.
On a good day.
Well, it was talking about the rumble itself.
And I have to read the quote.
Try that to drop it.
Two winners have come from number one and two winners have come from number two.
Do you not know your tarmac target demographic?
Do you not realize that your target demographic is going to go ape on that?
Whenever he said that, I just kind of looked at you at the corner of my eye.
Like, I already know what I'm going to see whenever I look over there.
I was gigantly giggling like a little boy.
Like, bevious and put head that just heard,
God bless you, Michael Cole.
Somebody asked, too.
And so after last week on the show, when I melted your brain in the chat room about Naomi,
yeah, being the girl that we've talked about multiple times on this show on tough enough.
Not realizing it was her.
She's getting good.
She's wrestling.
Maybe she can, maybe she can count herself on that crowd as the best, best matches ever.
No, now it's because now it's going to be the Usos versus the new age out there.
Yeah.
That'll be her favorite match of all time now.
But she's a newlywed, so we won't pick on her too much.
Yeah.
She was young and impetuous in which she made a ridiculous statement.
Zina's out of the room, right?
That's because I got to make fun of Randy working for a minute.
Okay.
She's here.
She's not in the room.
So it's Randy on a mission now to make sure he kicks out of every person's finish on the roster.
Has he become the king of the no-sell?
He's getting there.
Like why use the finish if he's going to have the guy know-sell it?
I'm so done with this dude.
I just don't like heal Randy or he's just not a good heal.
No.
He never has back.
Especially this incarnation of he's-
There's a reason that you hate heals because he just makes you hate them.
It's like you feel about Jericho as a heal.
Kinda.
Because you've never been a fan of heal Jericho.
No.
Although we have a Monday Jericho T-shirt.
I won't buy love to that.
I love that era.
This dude, I gotta tell you a story about him in a couple.
And we'll just have to call him.
I don't know.
坊.
He's gonna kill me.
I don't want to do this.
Oh.
Oh, did you?
Yes.
Now when you say stumble, then let's clarify.
Oh, no, let's get out there.
Because we're already pressed for time.
But we'll talk about it out there.
I just this heal orton thing.
It's just-
That's what I have to call him.
Just kind of have to tell me secretly. I'm rooting for the dude for Randy because I really want him to be successful
Because it's we've gotten past spoiled brat Randy Orton
And it's like the guy really wants to be something but it's getting harder
But this current version of Randy he's kind of back to spoiled brat Randy again. Hey, learn
That's all I had from brawl. This is anything else you want to talk about because it should be pretty fresh on your mind
It's gonna be watched at last night
I'm still by brain still cramp from it. Let's move on and talk about impact for a minute
Impact fans
Let's skip that
Impact fans rejoice. They have locked down taping dates at universal Orlando
Your national nightmare is over. They will start taping again at the impact zone
Unmarch the night now seen it comes walking back
That's okay, say not she's not paying attention. It's okay
So there are also conflicting reports
That TNA has signed MVP
Why he does own the rights to the gimmick?
So he can be MVP
Montel Monterey on CBS Porter
That shocks me that they actually actually retain their rights to the character. I didn't think they did that
He originally denied it
But now sources are saying that he will be showing up at the TNA impact tapings in Glasgow, Scotland this week
Now we don't know when he's gonna show up on TV because they're gonna tape like a hundred and fifty episodes of that show at one time
Yeah, that's true
But it and even if he doesn't lot you know where lockdown is it's on the campus of the University of Miami
One of your favorite places. No, it's not I know it's not
You shut your dirty mouth, sir
Do we know you because you look familiar? Okay, okay
This that was called sarcasm by the way very thick very thick sir
Also rumors that Vince Russo may be back booking for TNA
Because that's what's gonna save TNA that's what TNA's been missing is the
Booking genius of Vince Russo
Maybe the word I'm looking for there's a word no, yes, no, that's the word I'm looking for maybe maybe Russo from oh
15 years ago also the Russo 15 years ago was saved this company
Dixie Carter now shipping shopping a reality show about herself
Didn't she already have one of those you I have enough DVR space for this show I need to know right now. I pray that you don't
I pray that even if I do I don't I don't want you to do that one for the kids
I also read that apparently she auditioned to be on the real housewives of Nashville a few years ago and got turned down
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I find that funny
Well, are you really a real housewife when you're never home
I just don't know that's a joke
Don't you shouldn't you have to have a petition with a certain number of signatures before you can picture reality show
I think yeah, I think so. I'm on the East Saint law just saying who is who's signing these thinks for her
Christopher Daniels is saying that his TNA contract is up at April, not a huge fan of this guy, I like the fact that it makes comic book references and he has the shield logo on his tight, but outside of that, because I've said on this show before, when you have a swim through WCW and it doesn't last longer than a month, yeah.
Let's start looking at your watch.
Exactly.
So impact stuff.
They're very beginning of part two of Genesis.
They have this guy who's supposed to be a lawyer with Dixie about this new investor that's going to be revealed this week on impact.
And the American wolves and all that.
That guy was horrible.
And by the way, just point of, they take this thing, so you can edit things after you take them, right? That technology does exist, right?
When he says, I'm not kidding you, he said this.
We will sort through this elaborate rouge to get to the bottom of it.
Rouge, rouge, rouge, rouge.
Rewound it.
It's a ruse, sir.
You know how I am with grammar and syntax.
You know how it just crawls up into my spine and dumb.
And when I watched the first half of Genesis, I noticed something, but I didn't think I actually noticed it, but I really noticed it on the second part.
You know how you have the sections of seats on either side of the aisle, on the entranceway, right?
Can I tell you that about half of those were empty?
Empty.
Oh, available seating.
On the floor, we couldn't move people down from the top bunk and at least to make it look like the four was full.
Maybe they didn't want to be seen on television.
That's a fair point.
That is a fair point, and I can't debate that.
I don't want my friends to see me here.
So one of your main events is Angle vs. Rune in a steel cage.
If you missed this match, Angle did a moon salt off the top of the cage.
Mystic, but he landed in the middle of the map, which has more give.
So here's my question, sir.
Kurt Angle.
More gust than brains.
I think he's proven that 10 times over.
Not so much the guts and the over abundance thereof, but just the lack of sense.
He got into and all that man.
God bless him for being like having that kind of faith in himself.
But we've said it a million times on this show.
He is one bad spot away from paralysis.
And here's the scary thing.
The belief within WWE is that he will return to WWE when his deal is up at CNN.
But he won't pass the physical.
Exactly. It's highly unlikely.
They're saying he's probably going to end up as a trainer for NXT.
Not a bad gig.
Yeah.
Don't have to travel.
I think that's a better gig for him if he does that.
And so now we may or may not have abandoned the Joseph Park bitten gone back to Abyss.
So Abyss and Eric Young.
Your new team hell now?
Oh no, not this again.
Think about it.
I know.
The original gimmick got released.
They'll beat that horse to death.
I just, I don't know.
I just don't know that we need Abyss back.
No.
The Joseph Park thing was at least semi entertaining.
Just saying that I don't see it having legs.
I think that'd be a big mistake.
And we talked about it at the top of the show.
Sting lost his match.
Did you shed one tear?
Not a single one.
I would hope not.
I have brought blood pressure medication for the, for the three minutes between entering
29 and entering 30 along with the aforementioned.
Undergarments.
Yes.
Yeah, we do have some movie swag that Don's brought for us over here on the shuffle board table.
If you want some free movie swag, it's over there for you.
A lot of different movies represented.
Thanks to our friends at Allied Marketing.
We're hooking this up with that.
We'd love those guys.
Smack down headlines.
So I was looking at Wikipedia this week.
At home, allegedly.
And I looked at the 2014 WWE Paperview schedule.
And a couple of things intrigued me.
Thing number one in June.
Said WWE, bash at the beach.
Really?
Yeah, sure.
The other one.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have an arrival.
Walking down the red carpet into the room right now.
Is a man who is a man.
And he shall remain nameless at this point until he greets everyone in the room.
And we're okay with that.
And then we're going to give him crap the entire night.
Oh, are we ever?
Okay, so where was I?
Oh yeah.
So we talked about bash at the beach happening in June.
The other one that caught my eye is the Sunday before the end of October when it says
WWE Halloween havoc.
Oh, my green back to havoc.
I want that merch in the worst way.
I'm on board.
Oh, hey.
Yeah.
You know, you know, we're both fans of Halloween havoc back in the day.
With these slim gym turn buckles.
It's lifted.
That was my thing.
I know this.
I know that war games was your favorite.
You know, let me some more games.
But Halloween havoc was mine.
So we're going to have to hope this thing works out.
Also some news out of Mr. Co. this week.
He is now claiming that he owns the rights of the sincara gimmick.
I'm sure Vince will gladly give that back.
Oh, yeah.
And so we'll we go.
I think he'll be happy to.
You think he'll gladly give that back or you think he'll give it back with the
Profisal that he's frozen some cash.
I think he'll give it back to him with the improvisal that he never comes back.
Okay.
Okay.
I know that you're a little upset about this next story because the time frame
involved.
We are now hearing that the Roman Reigns face turn may not happen until
WrestleMania.
I'm okay with it.
We need to we need to we need to turn this guy so we can get his WrestleMania
match.
I'm ready to see this guy break out sooner rather than later.
And wait Barrett tweets out this morning.
Or late yesterday that he has given up his royal rumble spot.
To a legend and the tweet reads.
And I quote.
Here is a clue.
Voodoo.
Voodoo is the clue he gave for a bit.
I think I think it's the fucking man.
Do you think it's who?
The fucking man.
Little fucking man would be better.
You know I'm on board with that.
Well, let's see.
Maybe it's the lead singer of gots back.
Well, hang on.
Hang on.
Let's go over the pot.
Let's consider the possibilities.
If it's not boogey man, who else could it be?
Is Kamala gone?
Is Papa Shango gone?
Papa Shango's the godfather.
Okay.
So.
But he just showed up as the godfather on old story.
I know.
I know.
But it got to make sense.
Also.
Who?
Somebody.
It seems like somebody I remember quite distinctly.
Use Jimmy hinders his Voodoo child as their entrance music.
You shut your dirty mouth.
I'm just saying it.
I am not putting hooking in the rumble.
I'm sorry.
You're saying it's going to take him an hour and a half to get to the ring.
So we'd have to be number two.
I'm just saying.
It's a possibility to take him another 30 minutes to get into the ring.
And to drop a leg drop on somebody doesn't eliminate him.
Because he chatter his hip in 50 billion places.
Brother.
Dude.
Did they get one of those chairs?
It'd like go up a staircase to get him in the ring.
Oh, they'll use Barrett's cherry pickers.
And he's giving it to him.
Oh, just dump him in the ring.
Well, and again.
See.
Barrett gave up his cherry pickers.
So.
I'm going to stop because my dislike for you is growing his energy right now.
You're just poo pooing on all this greatness.
I'm throwing out there.
Is that what they call it in this country?
I think it is.
Because I can tell you what I call it.
I think that.
I think I have.
I think I'm on this.
I think you're on crack.
Look at Doug and rock at a suit.
And there it went.
Haha.
Hacksaw Jim Dougan was still better hair than HBK.
Do you ever think you'd lose to see the day where Hacksaw Jim Dougan was better dressed
in Shawn Michaels.
But not really fair brother.
There it is.
So SmackDown notes and we've already established on this show that I am not a fashionista.
T-shirt and jeans I know I'm always good.
And if I can walk past my wife and she doesn't go my god what are you doing?
I know I'm at least in the right direction.
You're not going to wear that, are you?
Worst words you'll ever hear as an adult.
No, I would just go where it is to take out the garbage.
I was going to change my hair.
But my real habits in the trunk.
Under the spare tire.
I do not claim to know fashion but Rey Mysterio Junior.
Powder blue.
Pleather.
He looked like a bottle of Mr. Bubble.
I may not live in Versailles.
However.
Or downing.
He looked like a bottle of downing.
Is what he looked like.
This doesn't help.
This doesn't help.
It doesn't help.
He's.
And boy that miss.
He'll turn didn't last very long did it.
No.
Let's make sure we turn a guy heel right before he has a special to air on ABC family.
That's a good idea.
And if you did not watch SmackDown.
Go back.
Find a way to watch the match.
With the roses.
The roses?
Yes.
The roads, brothers.
And if you didn't see it, what I'm about to tell you is absolute god on his scouts on
our truth.
Gold dust pulled a hurricane ranna off the top rope.
You heard me right.
It was astounding.
I'm like, what in the world is this guy?
Where is he getting this from?
And you witnessed found out.
He attributes his current shape to DDP yoga.
That man doesn't need to apply for St. Hood.
He gets it automatically.
Diamond Alice page.
God bless you sir.
It makes me want to check it out.
I'm just saying.
I'm not saying that I'm going to do, you know.
The advanced warrior pose where I'm hanging from the ceiling or anything.
But it worked.
If it worked for Jake Hall and worked for Jake Roberts and Scott Hall and gold dust.
Gotta be good enough for me.

We got him all right.
Didn't mess one up.
Oh, Charlotte Parker's on Pinterest because we're more obligated to say that.
And Jill's Womick just, she's like, she's like,
a lot to the watcher.
She's just.
It's time to run the card sir.
Alrighty.
You're YouTube pre show match.
Tag team titles on the line.
The ropes is this is this.
Against the new age outlaws.
They have a name to that team, don't they?
Are they the brotherhood?
Is that what we're calling out?
Yeah, okay.
Although a gold asset on Twitter, I find he has no desire to fight Cody now.
No desire to fight Cody?
Yep.
Good.
That's K-papes sir.
I'm just saying.
There's no reason for the roads to drop the titles to these two.
No, wow.
California has invaded Richardson.
LA it's good to see you brother.
I need a prediction sir.
No, I'm right there with you.
No reason at all.
Don's with us on that.
As he should be.
The man's allowed to have it opinion.
I know, but just come and send stick dates.
Now from here on in, these are not any specific order.
I just put them in what I felt was their order of importance.
Daniel Bryan versus Bray Wyatt.
I think we know who the Empire is predicting.
After that pop and that arena the other night.
There's no way he loses this match to Bray Wyatt.
I love how we opened that promo.
So who was it that said I couldn't be the face of the company?
No kidding.
I, you end this angle tonight.
Yeah.
Because you have to start getting ready for the six minute.
It was a horrible idea to start with.
Let Daniel Bryan be Daniel Bryan.
But Dickies is happy because they're outfitted got a plug on national television.
Yeah.
Although Don differs from us.
He thinks Wyatt wins this.
He thinks the fuse is going to continue.
I think it's time to put a bullet in this thing.
There's.
I think that happened.
Frenchy versus Brock Lesnar.
Does this replace your team as matched?
Do we have, do we have, have they announced the team as matched right tonight?
Really?
Frenchy wins this.
I'm sick of watching people job the Lesnar.
Although that would violate the rule because Lesnar did take the beat down on the
Raw.
Yeah, but man, just hearing.
Hearing big shows, Hayman impersonation.
Was a highlight of that show.
What do you think, sir?
Again, I got to agree with you on this.
Don does not.
He's got Lesnar.
WWE World Heavyweight title on the line.
Of course.
It's what I don't say anything.
That's what I'm just going to not say anything from now on.
Randy Orton, John Cena.
This is just a normal everyday basic beat flat wrestling match.
There's no way, you know, walks out with this title because we know what it's leading to.
Yeah.
We know what this is leading to.
So Zina keeps to get to keep her smile for another couple of weeks.
For another couple of months.
That's true.
I think I think it could be a good match though.
This is a major.
But still, we really need to go down that road.
Major's have been major disappointments in the past.
And then there's the last hour of the paperview.
The Royal Rumble.
30 man over the top row battle royal.
Your favorite paperview of the year is in my top two or three.
By the way, Don says on the title match.
Do you say Orton as well?
Named your winner sir.
I know who's going to win.
There's no doubt in my mind who's going to win.
Well, you kind of hard to name them.
Because you don't know everybody that's participating.
I know who's going to win.
Barista's going to win this thing.
You think so?
Yeah.
Barista Orton at WrestleMania.
The way I look at it.
The way I look at it.
If Daniel Bryan doesn't win.
He's in the Rumble, right?
Everybody's okay.
I see him as a possible winner to win.
If he doesn't win.
You're a dark horse in this thing.
If the company's going to blame him for the vibrates of Summerslam and
Knight of Champions.
You think they're going to let him win the Rumble and head by WrestleMania?
Even they had to hear the level of noise in that arena.
When he stripped off the coveralls and revealed his true intention.
But, you know, it's anybody's guess.
Three hours from now, we'll know.
Three hours from now.
This place does a roof on it.
If your voice shows up, trying to keep my blood pressure down dude.
We are 18 minutes away from the first paper view of 2014.
I remember the first Rumble.
I remember the original Rumbles on USA.
Do you know Bravo was trying to get the power lifting world record with a little help
from Jesse Ventura?
Oh God.
Who won the first Rumble?
He's in your battle.
That's why he was there.
I don't know if it upsets me that he still has that much hair and I don't know.
That he has that much hair still when I don't.
I don't hate on the man.
I'm not hating on him, I'm just saying.
You two match about to get in your way.
Wow, we're running a little bit late on.
That's about on time.
All right.
So as the card stands, grade the card.
This is the strongest card we've had.
The last several paper views I think.
I won't debate that.
I'll give it up.
I won't debate that.
I'll give it a solid B.
I don't know.
I won't give it a B.
You and Donna Green.
Really?
You gave it a B.
For me?
Because it's the Rumble.
And I don't have to listen to Rod Dog cut his promo right now.
I'm going to go, man, much higher.
I'm going to say right now it's a B+.
I've been looking forward to this paper view for the last week.
Because the number one, we haven't been here in seven weeks.
Yes.
So we get to see the Empire again, which we're always excited to see everybody.
Enjoy hanging out with the Empire.
Oh, they got new shirts.
Look at that.
Good for them.
But I think this has the potential to break the B+, barrier if it's done right.
I hope so.
Because it needs to ask him.
I'm ready.
We are live at Fox and Hound.
The room is filling up.
We got rooms on both sides tonight because it is the Royal Rumble.
Five bucks gets you in the door.
Come hang out with us.
Right off Central Expressway on Campbell Road just west of Central.
Find the McDonald's or right behind it.
Don't stop at the McDonald's for food.
Come here.
Get the poop.
They got pretzel sticks.
Mercha.
Your next paper view.
Four weeks.
That's three weeks.
That's two, nine, sixteen.
Four weeks from today.
It's the night before the network debut.
February 23rd.
Elimination Chamber will be at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
So go ahead and mark your calendars now.
Because we'll be back that will be our third anniversary paper view.
Here in Fox and Hound.
So that's what we'll do all the mushy stuff.
You got ready to do the plugs there?
