Special Edition WWE Extreme Rules 2015

The following is a sooner or later production.
Good morning.
Joe, stop.
Are you ready for the jam?
I said, aren't you ready for the jam?
Yo, je-
Chicken drum Turn the heat.
It is 702 on the East Coast.
It is the 26th of April in the year of our Lord 2015.
Season 5 episode 39 chronologically episode 298.
The clubhouse is live and on the air we welcome each and every one of you no matter how
you listen.
Whether you're live with us on you stream, whether you're listening on our you stream
archive or whether you subscribe our night tunes.
We're just glad you're here welcome.
My name is Rob and I'll take them both because I'm extreme.
Thank you Tommy Dreamer.
I am not alone for this particular episode.
Our first time back in the studio since WrestleMania 31 it's kind of good to be home a
little bit.
Joining me across the desk is he tends to do his mic co-host and a man whose definition
of extreme is putting an extra little bit of milk splash in his breakfast.
He is Chad.
Welcome sir.
It's a darn good point.
I don't know.
It's on here for it.
But Anna Milk Splash and Coco Pepell was just below your mind and we'll turn your head
really out.
Oh yeah.
To write that one down.
Also joining us is the official fact checker of this show and a man who may have
the record for most consecutive paper views with the same t-shirt.
You may know him as fun, don't go but his mom and even don't want to call him
and don't afford a welcome sir.
Where'd you go?
Either run button.
There you go.
It's like a luck trap.
Is that what it is?
Yeah.
I've seen a set of kids are calling it today.
Yeah.
All right.
Also joining us.
It took us a long time to finally get this done.
There were some contract negotiations.
He was demanding his own green room.
We had to build that addition onto the house.
Just to get him here.
One of our favorite people in the entire world and could be the hardest working man
film promotion.
He has Scott.
Welcome to the show sir.
Hey, I kind of like that.
I'm going to have to sniff that out.
Please do it to Raymond.
He's not going to be happy with that.
Oh, the great Raymond Garcia.
He was also a friend of the show.
You are hearing in the background the official theme song for WWE Extreme Rules.
Here is this double by fallout boy.
Because that's what we're here to do.
It is time for the official club house WWE Extreme Rules pre show.
Normally we are your one stop shop for all things sports and entertainment.
But tonight we are wrestling intensive because it is paperview day.
For those you joining us for the first time.
We're going to be basically giving you what happened in the week that was in our sport.
Some headlines.
We're going to run the card for you and then we're going to grade the card.
So, gentlemen, let's get right into it.
Some interesting differing opinions on this first topic.
We are hearing rumors that WWE has banned the curb stop.
Siting possible issues with people and concussions and neck injuries and things like that.
But we're also hearing that no it's not banned that Seth's just looking for a new finisher.
I get it, but I don't.
Because how long has he been using this finisher now?
It's been the better part of a year.
You ever take?
Did he use it with a shield?
They just did the triple power bomb thing.
He did use it right at the end of the shield.
So, you can call it a year he's been using this finisher.
And so, my knowledge, nobody's gotten injured.
Well, pretty soon they're going to ban the drop kick and then the arm bar and all that stuff.
It's just going to be nothing but Irish whips just for an hour and a half.
And even it all causes neck strain.
And you know, it could be one of those things because the punt is also banned.
So, it could be something they're working into a storyline.
I wouldn't be surprised.
Now, we might given the, given the stipulation on that match, we could see that tonight.
That would be very cool.
Be interesting.
But it's, it's going back and forth and I'm not exactly sure, you know, what's going on there.
Also, from fans of that more fans of PC gaming than console gaming,
WWE 2K 15 now available on the Windows platform.
You better have a powerful rig to run it then if you want it to look as good as it looks on the one.
I was going to say, yeah, because that game looks amazing.
Yeah, it looks great.
That's actually one of the reasons that I have it, but I still haven't opened it.
You guys, with those kind of games, you get to a point where it's like,
You, when I play them, I get to a point where I end up like losing myself and just end up watching what's going on
and forgetting that I'm actually playing a game.
Because it looks so impressive.
Yeah, the way that they do the cameras now, it's like you're watching a match.
It's crazy.
You know, watch it play the demo, it's over and over.
Because I was at a local entertainment store yesterday and we were looking through some of the cabinets.
They have all the old games under glass.
And I'm telling you, dude, the N64 shelf all within six inches of each other.
We're Mayhem WCW versus NWL World Tour and Nitro and WWF attitude.
We're all just right next to each other.
Which was our favorite in that set.
For me, it was World Tour and you know why.
Well, and I'll enlighten you guys.
A former friend of ours had it on the PlayStation.
And we were going to do a four, an eight man tag.
And he took like the four best guys on the roster.
So I was kind of left with scraps.
And so I picked this dude named Sam Song,
who's actually, he goes under a different name in Japan.
He was actually Japanese wrestler.
He beat my three guys and I had down to Sam Song and I beat all four of these guys.
But it's got nobody's ever heard of.
He was the first POI in the first show I ever did with you.
Was he really the great Sam Song?
Yeah, I was Sam Song, Sam Song.
And then he talked about Chalboranitis on him.
That was my fit.
But I love, was it Nitro that had the intro with Stingston and the Road in the Rain?
No.
Or was that, I want to say that's versus the World.
Is that versus the World or Stingston and the Road in its raining?
And there's like a truck comes out.
All you see him is seeing him is in silhouette and he's holding it.
And Hogan's driving the truck.
Yeah.
That's versus the World.
Because that's one of the only WCW games that I played.
I really enjoyed that.
I remember you and I played that once.
And I just started hitting a bunch of buttons and ended up with Sting and then a Scorpion Death dropping.
Yeah.
Not knowing how I did it.
That's the first one.
The AKI did, wasn't it?
You know what?
I'm pretty sure he's right on that.
Yeah.
I think they brought over the engine for Fire Pro and applied it to the WCW series.
And that was in the days we saw they were like, dude, there's no way wrestling games get better
than this.
And they're not going to happen.
Fast forward.
17 years.
He's an attitude on the PlayStation where you could finally create a wrestler from scratch.
You know, and it looked realistic and all the entrance videos were there.
That was our big thing.
The entrance video.
At some point they're going to have to put the full entrances with videos and then
we thought, okay, then there's no way it's better than this.
Well then.
And they keep finding ways to make us go holy macro.
But I remember when I first saw the trailer for 15 and it was the ordinary entrance.
And I was like, to your god, they finally got Orton right because he was one of those guys.
I'm in show on.
They could never seem to get the face right.
And they finally got the faces right on both of them.
Yeah, they all look great.
But none of them play as fun as the AKI games were.
They're not as fluid because they're so much going on.
Absolutely.
So rumors right now he will join the roster in June.
That's the main roster.
The main roster.
That'd be insulting if he went to NXT.
You almost can't put him in NXT because he's such a big name.
It's not like you have to build him up.
If you put him, I will tell you this though.
You put him in NXT.
Those NXT ratings go through the roof.
Oh Lord.
You would add 200 subscribers that day alone.
If I was, if I was Vince, I'd put him in NXT for about a month.
Just a fine tune in to make sure.
But again, you kind of can't.
It's not like you can, you can take somebody like the briskos.
And you could kind of put them in NXT for a month and two.
And them, but Joe has gotten so big of a name.
How many years of experiences does this guy have?
Almost 20?
Yeah.
Can't put a guy like that in NXT unless it's going to be maybe a one-off.
Just surprise people.
Yeah.
The only way you could have done that is if you didn't have NXT.
Like they did with CM Punk and they brought him up through ECW.
That'd be the only way you could do that because you're still on national TV.
And you could work him into one of the brands.
I just don't see how you could put him in NXT.
Kevinstein, I get that.
Like I know who the guy is.
Or the Von Air Kids.
But, but ROH is not a national platform right now.
You know, you could do the same thing with the Von Air.
If you live in Austin, you can watch ROH.
If you live in Oklahoma City, you can watch ROH.
And that was you can't watch ROH.
So, I don't know.
I think you just have to bring him straight in.
And there is talk of bringing the Von Air Kids into NXT.
Oh, yeah.
They had a try out this week.
Yeah, that makes sense to me.
That makes total sense.
That's a great name behind them.
But they haven't done anything themselves.
Right.
You could put them in NXT.
There is some first reaction.
Look at Charlotte Flare.
Yeah.
Can't take a bashi.
Can't take a bashi.
We've also found out who a Bray Wyatt has been referring to for his next few.
Goldberg.
Goldberg.
Goldberg.
Well, did you saw the headline about Bill Goldberg?
No.
I don't want to tune himself for one more match, but he's not saying that's for WWE.
And by the way, he will be in this particular town next month, as he has been announced
as part of your next Dallas Comic Con Expo.
Yeah, that's really odd pull for me.
Friend of the show Stevens Zimmerman texted me the flyer.
And I went, what?
Yeah, who's going to want to meet Bill Goldberg at Comic Con?
Yeah.
I mean, world of wheels.
I mean, you got the wrestling thing and the car thing.
I would get that.
I saw right.
A Shawn does every year.
Right.
I saw right here.
But he was in they live.
Yeah, true.
He qualifies.
Yeah.
I mean, they might have done a WCW comic book with Goldberg in it at some point.
I mean, unless you're going to live on universal soldier, the return.
Yeah.
I mean, technically.
Well, it is a horror film, technically.
It would have passed dead too.
Yeah.
You know, this is horrible.
And film.
Not horror.
We can keep going with that.
That'd be fine.
Let's talk about raw gentlemen.
I will tell you this.
These lucha dragons are over.
I was shocked when I watched raw this week.
How over those two are.
The pseudo sincara and colisto.
Don't think I don't like about them as they're ripping off fondongo on that little.
Yeah.
Well, he is your namesake.
I don't know.
Well, you think about that.
That's exactly the thing of fondongo.
And boy, how the almost mighty have fallen with that guy?
Oh, Lord.
Yeah.
What was it last year?
It was Jericho and Fendango.
Yeah.
And then the night after WrestleMania, when that crowd made him with the chant.
And now you're lucky if you find him in the midcard.
He might get a superstar smash.
That little Mexican bit that worked then obviously.
That was funny.
Yeah.
He comes back to the regular.
And now all of a sudden he's getting a push again.
But you're talking.
You know, I think the luchus should be in that tasty match tonight.
Not the freaking luchus.
Well, and we're going to talk about that here in a minute.
Because that's a little weird for me in this day at age.
And we'll talk about that here in just a minute.
Michael Cole.
Oh, what now?
Tonight's US title match is the very first ever televised Russian chain match.
Did you live in the 80s?
Because I've been in the key to co-op, had him all the time.
I was watching.
I know.
I need done for to get part-time work with WWE because we can check their facts.
Because that might be a full-time job.
But I'm just saying.
Yeah.
Good Lord, man.
I'd love to know if that's a bench feeding him those lines.
Or if that's Michael Cole just pull in anything he can at.
Well, you know, you're talking a little bit of homework.
WrestleMania starting at the wrong time.
There's a list goes.
And JBL took him that town for that.
He deserved it.
Triple H comes out and cuts his promo.
When is somebody going to let them know that tough enough doesn't work?
I'll tell you this.
It did work whenever it was Steve Austin just giving them a total verbal beat down in the last sentence.
Well, I'm not going to talk about the show itself.
The show itself is great.
Oh, no.
But you're not creating superstars out of this because you can't build a character because you already know them too well.
You got lucky with the Miz and Ryback.
But you got to think that was nine years ago when they were on tough enough.
What happened to the last winner goes to NXT and they kick him out?
Well, because he had drug problems.
Well, which one of the...
Fuck-a-dactals was...
It was Cameron.
With the Malia and...
Uh, Alicia Foxby and the greatest match in WWE.
Yeah.
I just...
God, that was funny.
You have the performance center.
You don't need this show.
Especially if Austin's not going to be involved, he made that show work.
He did.
He was a great reboot factor of it.
And especially now that you're in the wake of the...
Um...
What's his name?
Humorous.
Oh yeah, he's off guard.
The build-a-mod problem.
Build-a-mod.
You're on the...
You're on the wake of that disaster.
Well, come up.
Michael, hold down there and have him run the show.
I'll throw something into you so hard.
I just, who do you get to do this thing?
Is H going to do it himself?
Yeah, I don't see that being entertaining.
And I think that's the only reason the show is going to exist.
It's for entertainment and to pad their library full of shows.
But, and it's also going to be...
Originally, it was going to be on the network.
Now, USA is actually going to carry it.
So it's...
Oh, wow.
I didn't know that.
Starting in June, it's going to be on USA.
Realistically, Mick Foley could run it.
I think.
Oh, Mick and Emma in our...
Yeah, but I could bring her back in and give him good graces and make everybody happy.
And now, especially...
And this also might be then keeping their toes in the water because that's we talked about before WrestleMania.
Smackdown is moving to USA in January.
I'm surprised it's taking this long.
You and me both.
But, I mean, they're both universal properties.
So it's in the same family, but...
Absolutely.
I don't know what they were thinking.
Put it on sci-fi.
That was a really weird move.
Yeah.
But I think at the time, sci-fi needed something to get those ratings up.
And it turned into a ratings juggernaut very quickly for sci-fi.
Uh, is...
I really thought that...
Why...
Why can we not get NXT on national television?
Especially now that you're going to start to tour it coming in June.
You're talking...
What?
Wrestling, what?
Logic, that's fair point.
It's a fair point.
And, okay, so Naomi's now heel...
Can't we get her a new theme song?
Because Cameron got a new theme song after she heel turned.
Does it really matter if they're not going to air it anyways?
Those entrances for divas?
I mean, but this is the theme they're using for, still.
Wow.
Like, he's not even in the company anymore.
And boy, TNA is wasted.
Yeah.
Yeah, thank you.
I would rather him go back to him and Albert Tag teaming him that bit...
than what TNA is coming out with a bunch of balloons.
I mean...
Although, we'll talk about that when we get to him.
Yeah.
And hey, everybody, summer raise heel.
That's exactly what I thought.
This is a sound of me caring.
And let's talk about this.
And I've got this as a headline later, but we're going to go ahead and talk about it now.
The Ms. Ms. Dow feud is officially over.
Because he's... Ms. Dow is going to have to do another movie.
So why do you turn summer raise heel?
And then Ms. Dow is going to be off TV for too much.
Nobody thinks about this stuff.
Nobody.
I'm telling you, give me the book and the checkbook for a year.
That's all I'm asking.
And that'd be fact check, Michael Cole, we're good.
Are we going to talk about the Marine for?
Yeah.
Have you actually seen it?
No.
Somebody I know posted a clip.
Would you see it on a dare or a bat?
The clip in that trailer of summer raise firing that gun
is some of the most lunky gun shooting I have ever seen in my life.
It's just like she's like, okay, you have to go here and then pull this back here
and then you pull the trigger.
And it was just like, it was like she was doing fight choreography with a gun
and nobody else there.
You're making it sound like I really need to see this movie.
I'm not kidding.
Oh, man.
Get a rip now.
Just go watch the trailer where you see her handling the gun
and you're just like, she's never handled any kind of weapon ever in the history of ever
until right then.
And they went, print that, that's good.
See it in a double feature with zombie versions.
The clip that I saw is great because I think it's Parker Posey.
The former Queen of the indie film.
She's in this thing.
She's in John Wick, too.
I haven't seen that yet.
What's wrong with it?
I know it's on my list.
I'll bring it to you.
Okay, okay.
So she says something to the Miz like,
you didn't finish college.
You didn't finish college.
He goes, well, there's a good reason for that.
Something called 9-11.
Oh, my God.
Oh, somebody broke that.
You know what?
But you can't protest, you know why?
Because she'll go to the papers if she has to.
Yes.
What are the best red and the lines of all time?
Oh, hey, even.
And so with Adam Rose, are we just done with the bunny?
Yes, good.
So bunny is disappeared.
The bunny is a non-factor.
Although that sign that said sting is the bunny.
One of my favorites of the year.
But JBL ripping on the bunny.
You got, that was good.
You got a myth.
And did you notice what it said?
A Ryback's trunk's Monday night?
Feast mode?
I see what you did there.
I see what you did there.
I see what you did there.
Feast mode?
And then?
I'll get it.
And then the hot dog in the banana are the ones that attack Ryback.
So you can feed him more.
I see what you did there, too.
Okay, moving on.
Wack it, he's smack it.
Oh.
Yeah, this is wrong.
Some smack down headlines.
Even Marie training with Brian Kendrick right now.
And at the performance center.
There's worse people that you can get to train somebody.
Because that dude's got skills.
I saw my MPX at one time.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah.
But the whole crowd was going, wash out.
See, I disagree.
I think that dude just got stuck in a couple of bad gimmicks.
Because he's got talent.
He, that dude's scary talented.
Also.
And what could be.
The weirdest world's colliding moment of the week.
I read this today as a matter of fact.
CM Punk.
Signs to do a new Marvel comic about Drax the Destroyer.
Played by who?
The guy that drove him out of the freaking fed, basically.
I'm the only one that sees what could be construed as irony here.
No.
I read that.
I went.
Let me read the headline because I can't be right.
I'm like.
Oh dear god.
No, all I gotta do is get.
Patisse to do a whole Marine comic.
You know, I have not read that Thor annual that he wrote yet.
I haven't either.
I haven't sitting on my couch though.
I've heard good things.
I'm sure.
He wrote the forward too.
I've got it over there.
The, the collected hardback for AVX.
He wrote the forward in it.
I don't have to check that out.
You can read it if you want to.
We're done.
It's right behind you.
I'm going to grab that.
I was a little disappointed in somebody artwork in that thing.
But the story was pretty cool.
I enjoyed it.
They're doing another one apparently.
Yeah.
Smackdown talk.
Do we have to?
Yes, we do.
I watched it.
We're going to talk about it.
Somebody answered me this.
Or the Smackdown arena still halfway empty.
Is that still a thing?
In some cases.
It just, it almost depends on where they go.
There are some towns that don't care which show it is.
They're going because it's there.
When they showed Smackdown here about a month ago, I can't speak to that.
But it wasn't a show that I cared about.
You know, I wasn't upset that I missed it.
Smackdown has to go back live.
That's just my whole thing.
If I can know three days early, what happens?
I don't care.
Does anybody know it?
And I didn't notice this until Thursday night.
How similar Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose,
that Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins is low goats
or starting to look.
And even Dean Ambrose on a certain level.
All of their logos look very, very similar.
I mean, they're all using the same font or something.
No, it's just that same style of we're going to take the initials
and put them back to that.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, they were.
They were a team.
They were a team.
They were more like an anarchy more than anarchy.
Yeah, but that's two and one.
And Neville is the new sensation.
Really?
That's what we're calling him now.
I like the man that gravity forgot.
I like that bit.
Yeah, that sounds great.
And they were calling him that,
but now they're calling him the new sensation.
It's just like, at the end.
Well, at least they stopped the vigilante stain.
Stop that.
You leave that alone.
Okay.
I should never be mentioned this studio again.
Like, when Neville walks out,
expect to hear this.
You know, that's what came to mind for me.
And you know what?
I'm not going to be shocked if it happens.
Stranger things happen in this company.
I want to say that much for a.
It's going to be that.
It's going to be a paper view height video.
It'll be there.
And I'm not going to debate that either.
And then she amists in his match.
Dude, I think you're going to dig one about to say.
Because you know, she amists is now healed.
Yes.
Right in the middle of a match,
he turns to the crowd.
And he goes,
Are you not entertained?
I was like, I see what to did there.
Very funny, sir.
Who is in charge of his look this.
Go around.
Peter Jackson.
He.
He looks like a character from killer instinct or something.
He looks ridiculous.
And I don't like.
I like the new theme is okay,
but it's not as good as this.
No, no, this is better.
But it's got to have his heel theme.
This repackaging of shameless was such a botched job.
And I don't know if you noticed,
but Seth Rollins did get his plates on the belt now.
No, I did.
Oh, cool.
It's got the S.R.
And it actually says, like,
Seth Rollins are in the circle around the logo.
It looks pretty cool.
I like the look of it.
Because he just had the WWE logos for like three weeks.
I'm like, guys, you knew this was coming.
You should have had this ready to go.
But never been.
They had the new scene of shirts ready to sell.
The champ is here with the US title.
And during Ruseb's match,
the king says Ruseb has a reverse Russian bear hug on his opponent.
Isn't that just a bear hug?
I'm just saying.
It sounds like a finisher.
What do you put it that way?
And a sign that I knew Scott would enjoy.
I don't know if you saw it.
It never rains R-E-I-G-S in suplex city.
I was like, huh?
See?
I love it when the fans take the time to put
thought into the sign.
And it was very prevalent on the screen.
I was like, it never rains in suplex city.
Well played.
Was that anybody important who made that sign?
No.
It was something a little far back in the crowd.
It wasn't in front of the show Rick Sign Guy.
Rick is the nicest guy ever.
It's not the nicest guy ever.
We used to love, he comes see when we do a show at Fox and Hound.
He showed for the paper views.
Really?
And we'd sit there and talk to him.
Yeah.
I'd seen a buffalo wild winks in a bartender
that I know really well.
Apparently used to serve him for about 10 years.
Great guy.
Great guy.
But it's weird that the month the last two or three months
he hasn't been sitting camera side.
He's been sitting camera side.
So we haven't been able to see any of the signs.
Well they do that purpose.
They move up.
But his signs can't get on TV.
I know.
But that thing you always put him there.
But I'll tell you what he's been taking.
That dude is his fan.
And he is fan to the core.
And the given take that the wrestlers have with him is just genius.
Really?
Have you heard the story behind him?
Oh yeah.
Oh absolutely.
Okay.
And we actually watched the episode of Dealer.
No deal that he was on.
Oh really?
Yeah.
That was a cool episode too.
Who was it.
Lashley and Edge and Orton and somebody else showed up.
I've never watched that.
It's cool.
Orton was on it.
No there was four of them.
It was Orton and Edge were the heels.
And then Lashley wasn't seen it.
But there was another face involved too.
It was pretty cool.
It was fun.
Alright.
So.
What's the deal with TNA and Paychecks?
Because that's why TAS quit.
What's the deal with TNA in general?
You know but you've got two sides of that coin because you've got people like Havick
that have come out and said no look.
This is my current paycheck.
My pay is current.
But you've got people that are on staff working behind that haven't been paid in three months.
Oh.
Because I said well here's the thing.
You got to think about.
They're short on cash.
Which was not surprised me.
You pay the talent till they'll stay.
But then the road crew.
But if the crew walks.
Who put some on TV?
You can always find that camera guy so fast in New York City.
Yeah.
But they're not in New York City.
That's the problem.
Or it's in Orlando.
Yeah.
But.
And you're paying your own nine weeks at a time.
But that's probably what they're thinking.
And they pile up people on standby in case.
It's not hard to find somebody who will sign a contract do it one time.
Yeah.
And they're used to it.
They won't see a paycheck for two or three months.
It's not out of the ordinary.
And I'll tell you what.
They got to get somebody to do in color on that booth.
Oh yeah.
That was horrible.
Because listening to two hours of Josh Matthews.
By himself.
And I will say this.
And my first point is when we're talking about impact.
He's been real quiet on social media since everybody's bailed.
When he first got to that company.
He ran his mouth like it was going out of style.
About WWE.
And I think he's finally realizing.
You know what?
This company in exactly what I thought it was going in.
And if you thought it was anything.
But what it was when you're going in.
You're delusional to begin with.
It was a job.
And he's doing a job right now.
Big time.
And maybe get him in there with Brian Saxon.
And you know.
I mean, they get apparently they gave Al Snow a try out.
I don't know if I need Al Snow on color.
I like Al Snow.
But I don't know if I could deal with him.
I can't even say it the announced table because they're not even in the arena.
They're in Nashville doing the commentary.
I think that'd be fun.
Having snow.
I like him better as an in-ring performer.
I don't know what.
How much is he doing in-ring these days?
He's not everyone's in again.
He did their British boot camp.
I haven't.
I've never seen a full episode of DNA.
Really?
I have no interest in it.
I've tried.
And I get about 20 or 30 minutes in.
And I have to turn it off.
But that's.
There's got such good talent on the roster.
It's just a book.
It's terrible.
I mean, I could probably book for that show for less than what they're paying now.
I'm sure you could.
Assuming I'd get paid.
Don't get me wrong.
We could do the same thing with the writers.
That'd be really wrong.
And apparently this was the night of knockouts.
But your main event was going to be a world title match of Angle versus Eric Young.
And you didn't see that coming.
And it was funny because they were calling it night of knockouts,
but they kept referring it to a TKO,
which would have stood for total knockouts.
And I was like, easy killer.
Yeah.
Easy.
And what are we doing with James Storm?
I don't know.
I'll whip that bit.
I'm so confused right now.
Yeah.
Even Josh forgot.
I mean, we know that he's probably doing this mind games thing with Magnus.
Probably.
But let him still be the same character.
Don't keep changing his character back and forth.
Because you know, Sonata's gone.
Yeah.
His contract wasn't up until July 17th.
I think.
But they went ahead and released him.
Butter.
Which, again, whose fault is that?
It's not like the guy was a problem in the locker room.
He's a great worker.
You had a mouthpiece for him in James Storm.
Why, sir?
I can pay his paycheck.
I don't know.
I'll say this.
They lasted longer than Flair said they would.
And they did the deal.
This is where we're going to talk about the easy three thing done.
Easy three and twenty fifteen.
Are we a year early to make the political candidate thing?
Shouldn't do this next year or the last three year or something?
Or no.
Because next year is your presidential election.
I don't know.
The last year was still a election year.
But still.
There's nothing in 2015.
I got to make one thing about TNA though.
I like what they did with Terran Terrell at the end.
That interest me.
She just doesn't make a good heel to me.
I like her better.
I like her better as a heel.
I really do.
I like what I saw.
And I think this dollhouse thing fails.
I don't know.
I like what I saw is on the same.
If you're going to turn her heel, you know how I would have done it.
I made her one of the new beautiful people.
Let Angelina love work with her.
Yeah.
But mostly.
They've lost in.
Colgan, velvet sky.
Love a ray.
Samoa Joe.
Yeah.
All right, gentlemen.
Let's run the card.
These are not necessarily in the specific order of the card tonight.
Because extreme rules does start in twenty eight minutes.
Because you are listening to the clubhouse preview show for you.
Because that's what we do.
But we're going to start with the tag team title match.
Which may have already happened.
I don't know.
Uh, that's not the most easy three.
This is what I want.
Pre show WWE tag team titles match.
Tyson Kitten Cesaro versus the new day in big E and
Kofi Kingston Chad.
Boy, I wish I cared.
Uh, my problem with this is you've got heel versus heel.
Which you can do in this day and age.
But nobody's going to care.
That's why it's on the pre show.
It's a fair play.
There you go.
Um.
I can't imagine that they dropped this belt to the new day.
It's my shot.
I should have a pre show man.
What are your thoughts here?
Same thing.
I don't.
I don't care.
Don.
Why should I?
Yeah.
The new day sucks.
So I'm going with.
Uh, Cesaro.
Sick.
Sid and Marty Cross.
Are we talking about land with a warster?
Sid and Cazaro.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's really.
It's really upsetting because there's a lot of talent in that match.
Well, I was talking LA's in the green room right now.
Getting greeting everybody as they get here for the pay for view.
And he and I were talking about this match.
I could see them dropping the titles to the new day.
If you're gonna, if you're gonna few them against each other and here's my
thing.
If you're gonna turn one of them face it has to be Cesaro.
Because if you turn Tyson kid face no one is going to care.
And it's too bad because I love Tyson.
He's got a lot of talent and he's a great heel.
He's just not a good face.
He's just not.
He makes a great heel because he's got that slimyness about him.
But that would be the only thing that that changing these titles over would do for you.
And I'll tell you what if you want, because here's basically what's happened with the new day.
We really thought this was gonna be over.
And since it's not turn him heel.
Because they're already getting booed anyway.
So that's what we're going with this thing.
And Biggy with the whole Mr. Rinde Watson thing that he's doing.
Probably time to kill that bit.
I'll say this, at least it's not the uses.
I'm so done with them.
And I was in their corner for so long.
And you know, they're done for about six months.
That's fine by me.
Yeah, they're done for about six months.
I've never enjoyed them because of the injury.
Randy Watson is more entertaining than Biggy.
I believe it's you to not future.
And the kiss me our smash.
I'm sorry, what?
The kiss me our smash.
This is a thing.
Your series.
Yes.
Gentlemen.
Am I lying?
Yeah.
He's talking to you.
I just don't care any of that.
I can't.
But you know what?
It's a stream.
Because it's a stream roll.
It's extremely stupid.
What the heck?
Kiss me our smash.
WWE's version of ECW is more extreme in this card.
God.
Yeah.
They're going to bury Ziggler.
That's very upsetting because Ziggler is talented.
Well, I'll tell you.
Steve.
Steve off some of his podcast last week.
He brought up a really good point about Ziggler.
Because he loves Ziggler.
He's like dude.
You have to stop selling so much.
I love it.
But what it is is what he's saying is they've got to give you more offense time.
You're spending too much time on defense.
And I agree.
Because he's an amazing talent.
Well, go and look at the rest of the talent.
He's the only person that can sell.
Yeah.
And he's the only member of the spirit squad that survived.
I think you have to have Ziggler win this match because you've got to move on.
You can't drag this angle out anymore.
I disagree.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah.
Because they just brought Ziggler back and I doubt they're going to bury him this early.
I'm going to come back.
No.
I think you're watching everybody.
No.
I just say him.
That's just my opinion.
The only thing that makes this match work to me for Ziggler to win and he go.
Nope.
You're not going to kiss my arms.
And you bring up Vince.
That's the only way that this match works for me.
See, that's probably going to be the first.
Your second match of the night.
So that won't happen.
And you've got Ziggler who's a decent talent in his own right.
But you're mixing up styles here.
She's seen her style is so much faster than Sheamus is.
Oh, absolutely.
It's going to be interesting to see them actually wrestle.
But, you know, Sheamus is only around because he's tripletes his buddy.
Yeah.
Well, on your point about when they're going to place this match, remember WrestleMania.
And they put Sting before the divas.
Don't remind me.
Don't remind me.
They have to make them seem important.
It's all it is.
And what did I say, though, in the pre-show for WrestleMania?
I told you that ladder match was coming first.
And it was a horrible idea.
Yep.
I don't know why they always do that.
Don't take the match we're going to have all the high spots and start the card with it.
Because it sucks the energy out of the crowd by the time you get to the next match.
It's a lot like the Oscars whenever they did the Lego movie performance.
They should put that kind of stuff near the end.
Yeah.
To re-energize everybody.
I don't know why they don't think about this.
Especially with that many people in that stadium.
Don't screw this up next year.
That's all I'm saying.
Don't screw this up next year.
Yeah.
I was actually thinking about this earlier.
I don't know if we're going to have that kind of crowd that they had last year.
Just so vocal and so much fun.
Well, what's going to benefit them next year is that it's an enclosed stadium.
Yeah.
So all that noise is going to be enclosed.
Because they're going to close the roof.
You know they will.
And that's just going to contain all that noise.
And one thing I will say this about that.
I was at WrestleMania 25.
You were in Houston and saw that the first HPK undertaker.
You had 85,000 people screaming literally on their feet.
And you watched the replay from like DVD.
It's nothing like how loud it was inside.
Well, Austin talks about, I want to say he talks.
It's the sky dome.
I think he was talking about where all the noise.
Oh, no.
It's in Seattle when they were at Safeco.
All that noise just got sucked straight up.
And you couldn't hear anything.
Yeah.
And I was.
I was hit down.
Thank you for calling it WrestleMania 25.
Because it wasn't the 25th anniversary.
WrestleMania.
Because you're on the show.
That's Russell.
So he's fast checker.
That's from the fact checker.
In a Chicago, um, last man standing.
Got to do last man standing.
Roman Reigns versus Frenchy.
Wow.
That's silence.
That's a church.
Churps.
Could this card have been SmackDown?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because this is going to be like TNA where we're going to take all of our paper
using just make them regular shows because hardcore justice is next week, by the way.
I can.
Reigns goes over.
He has to.
Because for Frenchy.
Frenchy is on the downside of his career, which it which hurts me because I love
Paul White.
I am a huge fan of that man.
He is a quality human being and a wonderful person, which is probably the same
exact thing I just said.
He's just relegated to comic relief and midcard status.
This is the dude that won the world title in his first match ever.
I think we're all done seeing giants.
We have no interest in it.
That didn't.
He loves the big man.
He always has.
Chad.
Again, it's it's a match I wish I cared about, but I just don't because there's nothing interesting about it.
French, I think Frenchy as part of the authority hurts him.
It does.
It hamstrings him.
It absolutely hamstrings him.
Like when they were in two, two roles ago when they were in England, that whole segment
meant nothing to me.
He just threw Reigns around like a rag doll, threw him into a car, threw him on top of the car,
threw him into the dark back of the car.
Yet you're the big man.
We know that.
And they've done nothing to sell this.
Nothing to convincingly sell it.
I think.
And then Reigns beats up.
I want to dance favorite people last Monday night and bow Dallas.
Yeah.
I think I think Reigns wins because he lost it.
WrestleMania.
And they got to give him a push.
Get the win back.
They have to.
Yeah.
Otherwise they're they're going to completely bury his push.
No, they're going to he's going to lose momentum and it doesn't make any sense.
So with that said, the big show's going to win.
Just like he won the battle royale.
That's a WrestleMania.
Guess a Frenchy.
Frenchy.
Okay.
He can call a big show.
I call in Frenchy because that's what I call.
I'm used to it.
I'm so accustomed to Frenchy.
Yeah.
I'm never going to understand why him and Kane are actively featured on a Raw.
And on any of these shows anymore.
They're great guys.
Just like you said.
They're great.
But I know what he wants to see.
Well.
Kane is because him and H.
Are tight.
I mean.
H is actually.
A grooming him to work backstage.
I hope that happens to you.
He wants.
He wants.
Get him out of the ring.
Take him back there.
I'm where he's got.
Watching to bronze horses cook cookies or something.
It's.
It's like he's not excited even even.
I want to see that even if even if fast forward those matches are slow.
And and and and the weird part is Roman's going to have to carry this match.
And I don't know how that works.
I'm for you because I like Roman reigns.
I'm a fan of the dude.
I just don't know if he's in a position at this point in his career or he can carry a match.
It's going to be a quick one.
And it's it's it's it's it's is this just going to be a lot of sync or swim for Roman.
It's like they they they dug well.
It's the last man standing.
I'm saying as far as things going to go all over the arena.
I already said as far as it's going to hit and it's going to end on the stage.
We all know how this works.
Yeah.
But gosh.
A mighty.
Chicago Street fight because Chicago is extreme.
Dean Ambrose Luke Harper.
Ambrose Ambrose.
I like Ambrose.
But I'm sick of the whole him like going between the ropes and coming back thing.
We need to save that for when someone actually whip shoe into the rope and you don't do it yourself.
I'm going to Ambrose too.
This then the Luke Harper thing as much as I like the dude and he's an amazing talent.
Like he's a big guy that can work.
I agree.
I just don't know that you put him over Dean Ambrose right now.
There's no reason to do that.
Honestly.
It's unfortunate that his career isn't going to go anywhere.
I think this could be your approach.
No, no.
Harper Harper.
Okay.
I think this could be a sleeper match.
This could be a match that a lot of people don't put a lot of stock in and may shock a lot of people with the quality of it.
Because these both are both work that insane gimmick really well.
And since you're doing a street fight, you can be creative with it.
And I think this match will catch a lot of people off guard.
But he was peeking in his LA's peeking in this dude.
We were just talking about you earlier about the tag match there.
No.
It's scared the crap out of me.
Diva's title on the line.
Why?
Nicky Bella versus Naomi, the freshly healed her Naomi and her leopard print outfits that are really
fluorescent and odd.
Wow.
That's circle the dream.
But you know what?
Put the Diva's belt on her.
Why not?
If the bells are talking about leading when they're contracts up anyway.
And right now.
Number of love for you, but not going to miss you.
No.
They'll come back.
They'll come back.
Yeah.
They've already done it once.
And when AJ puts you down in one sentence, could, could be the line of the year so far.
That talent is not a sexually transmitted disease.
Funny as thing.
I've heard all year.
Somebody learned something from somebody husband about promo cutting.
Russell's in the chat room actually saw him the other day.
He was working as I was going out and about on my daily routines.
I got to see him.
Good to see you, sir.
My pick is, uh, I'm actually going to go with Dickie Bella.
Oh, you think she retains?
Yeah, right?
Scott?
I really don't.
This is where this is the beer break man.
Can I can page when?
Yes.
She's filming a movie.
Yeah.
That's why they wrote her off.
She's doing a movie.
What kind of movie?
It's something WWE films related.
That's all we know.
We wish.
Yeah.
We wish.
Wow.
You're not saying that.
There's not a dot com involved in it.
Wow.
The film.
What kind of movie?
You boys want some spray?
Stop it.
Stop it.
That is never say that around me again.
It's such an insider riff.
I'll have to explain that to you.
Stop.
You're local parole officer.
You're going to win.
You're going to win.
You're local parole officer.
I'm here.
Yeah.
I used to do that.
So.
Put him on.
By the way, this match not happening.
Oh, because inner kind of title will not be on the line tonight.
Daniel Bryan out another four weeks.
What happened?
Got injured during a six man match in on the European tour.
Well, under WWE rules.
He has to defend that towel once every 30 days.
So should be perfect.
Okay.
Jack Tony.
Um.
Jack.
Wow.
This just looks like a dark turn.
Um.
Just.
That's the same.
Is Daniel Bryan going to wind up like angle?
Is that where this is going to end up going?
No.
He's going to wind up like Rey Mysterio.
Oh.
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
No.
It's like the guy works so hard.
And then just can't stay healthy.
Uh, Russ says pages movie is called Santa's Little Helper, which is not about
the dog from the Simpsons.
Um.
And your blood pressure just went up a little.
Yeah.
Is it she's playing like an evil elf or something?
If I remember reading about this.
Not helping his case.
Not at all.
So.
So no.
No.
You entered kind of on touch.
But US title Russian chain match.
Yeah.
It's a title on the line.
One scene of versus Rusev.
I'm sorry.
John Chena versus Rusev.
I forgot all about one scene.
Do these Mexican cousin that way was suspended?
Love one scene.
But John Chena versus Rusev.
There is talk though.
I read this week that.
One is about to get a push on her own.
So we're finally we may finally get her in the ring.
I've been waiting.
Which I've heard she's got skills.
So far.
But there's a problem.
If she stays in the ring, if she gets, she's can't keep that Russian accent for the next
God knows how long.
Don't care.
She's too hot.
Okay.
And she's going to be a pitch perfect too.
In three weeks.
Okay.
And when Paige doesn't want to make sense, that's a little helper too.
Yeah.
So we can pass.
I was waiting for that.
Um.
I don't see why scene that doesn't retain.
Yeah.
And just end this angle and move on.
He made.
They made shirts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
They're making him a new belt.
They're making him a new US belt.
No.
So yes.
They expect him to hold on to this for a while.
So the US title.
It's going to be a spinner belt.
No, it originally was.
Remember?
That was the first.
Yeah.
What was the first spinner belt was his US belt.
I think scene is going to be the first person to have an LED belt.
Rip off Jericho.
And I give Jericho an LED belt.
The it's insanely expensive Jericho Tron 2000 champion to melt.
Fair happens.
We know somebody is listening.
Somebody is listening to this show.
I haven't done that bit in a long time.
Anybody else think Bruce Evans this?
Because I really believe.
One scene is going to hold this probably through survivors.
He always has a new shirt about every two three months.
So of course, they're not going to, you know,
it's too early.
They got shirts to sell.
And he'll probably have another new one tonight.
One is two three months.
Is he?
I like to see number of t-shirts.
Him versus Austin.
What the score is.
Oh, seeing us.
Yeah.
Austin never did a new one every two months.
No.
There was a time when.
Oh.
Every week.
Yeah.
There's a lot that people forget about.
And I've kind of looked it up.
And it's interesting.
But yeah.
Seeing it for sure.
Because I remember a time where it was just like every Monday night.
Austin had a new shirt.
And there was a time where he was outselling the nine people behind him combined.
Mm-hmm.
It was insane.
Especially during the.
We like to call the attitude era.
And in your main event.
WWE.
Well, heavyweight championship online.
In a steel cage.
You didn't mention this a minute ago.
Apparently, never.
Is.
Going up against bad news, Barrett.
Oh, is that what's going on?
That's what I read.
I had not heard that.
So that's.
So Barrett still on the card.
It's just not.
Okay.
And you know what?
Why not put this guy on the card?
He's got to have that finisher is ridiculous.
Oh, I would love to see him go over it.
That would be fantastic.
And it doesn't do any.
It doesn't hurt Barrett if he does.
It just I think it furthers Barrett is the heel.
Yeah.
And fresher is a more.
The RKO is banned.
Cain is the gatekeeper.
Seth Rollins Randy Orton.
Am I the only one that remembers a time where pinfallers of mission in the cage didn't
mean jack.
A steel cage match.
The purpose of a steel cage matches the advocate.
Hmm.
I don't like this whole.
You can win by pinfallers of mission in the cage.
What's the point?
Then you just make a match.
Hmm.
Now if it's in the cell.
That's different.
Because the cell's got the roof on it.
So you have to win by pin small.
There's no other way to win the cell.
Hmm.
I do like that if they're going.
They've got the the wire mesh cage.
Although I do miss the old blue cage every once in a while.
Yeah.
I don't see Seth Rollins dropping this title yet.
I see this run lasting at least until summer slam.
Yeah.
I agree.
And then soup like city returns.
Of course.
We've seen this a million times where Cain's going to, you know, help out Seth Rollins.
But.
But see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I agree.
And then soup like city returns.
And of course.
We've seen this a million times where Cain's going to, you know, help out Seth Rollins.
But, but see, there's the wrinkle though.
Does Cain open the door for him?
Or does he make it, or is this all a ruse?
The act like he's going to help out Orton slam the door in his head.
Well, he's going to slam the door in his head.
Because Seth Rollins just bought insurance from him.
Well, that's true.
Okay.
Darned his clean insurance chips.
But it's a true thing.
He does have an insurance company.
Um.
Chat.
It's.
They sure have been pushing Randy to the moon.
But I like this version of Orton.
Yeah.
I like Orton on his own.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm not.
But I just don't see him getting the title tonight.
At this paper view, I think it's too, but to to.
I think I think I think, I think Lesner gets it back from Rollins.
It's on my slam.
I think that's how this goes down.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
I don't want to admit it.
Yeah, I don't either.
Because you're going to have a part-time champion again.
I'm just, I'm just sick of.
The slither my shirt holding on to that belt.
But all right.
So that's the card.
As the card stands now.
Chad rate the card.
D.
D.
You are setting the bar.
Oh, sirs.
This thing just is not jazzing me.
It really is got.
Rate the card as it stands.
See minus.
Done.
I was going to say D plus.
But I'm going to give it a C plus.
Because the Chicago crowd.
I'm how rowdy they get.
That card gets live.
That crowd does get live.
Yeah.
I am leaning towards the D plus.
Just because like I said earlier,
this could be an episode of SmackDown.
It really could be.
But I think that the Chicago crowd could be the variable.
Exactly.
Hot crowd or nothing.
You can't polish it.
But a good crowd can make a bad match.
Stomachable.
A match but not an entire.
No.
They can make a whole paper.
You're not really on here.
You know, they're they're one of the crazy ones.
How about this?
How long until we hear a CM punk chant.
10 seconds.
All right.
10 seconds is the overrunner.
Cause it's going to.
