Special Edition WWE Extreme Rules 2018

It is 604 on the east coast, it is 304 on the west coast.
What is it in England?
It is, I would have been Australia, so I'm not in England.
It is the 15th of July in the year of our Lord 2018.
Season 9, Doc's favorite season.
Episode 1, 448 times this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast.
We're so happy you've joined us.
At least for the next three episodes, if you're on you stream.
Actually, for a maximum of the next three episodes, if you're on you stream.
Or if you're listening on our archive, we hope that you're also subscribing and rating and reviewing all that good stuff on your favorite podcast app.
Welcome, my name is Rob, I am the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast.
And dude, it's season 9, bro.
Unbelievable, and we're hitting the ground running kids.
We're coming in hot, so get ready.
Sitting across from me in the co-host chair is my co-host.
And a man who has his Texas heritage on full display today, he is Chad.
Welcome, sir.
Good to be here, man. Good to be here.
Okay.
Sitting next to him is the official fact checker of the show, a man fresh back from vacation.
Who couldn't have gotten any more Pittsburgh in his life in the last week and a half if he tried dear God, man.
You may know him as, and that's a good thing. That's a compliment.
You want to talk about somebody that took a vacation and had everything planned out and executed on every level.
If you don't follow him on social media, you know what I'm talking about.
You may know him as fun, don't go, but his mom and name him, don't for it, I'm gonna call him, don't for it.
What's up, brother?
I had one complaint, that pirate scheme we went to, right when it was supposed to start at 7th Eastern, there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
And yeah, I saw that your dad, your dad was like, run, rain the light.
No, I wanted to send that. It's like, you're doing a rain light.
But your dad says them too.
Yeah, he was still late for an hour, and then he started the game, but that's when it started to sprinkle just a little.
And they stopped for a rain delay, there was, it was blue sky.
Well, welcome home, brother.
Yeah, my well, still great trip, y'all.
And I want to say for the record, I really hope that, I know that you listened all the time, but I really hope that you checked out last week's episode.
Because, and I'm being serious here, I'm not being suspicious.
I mean, I was listening, yeah.
Everything that we said about you at the end of the show is absolute truth.
Thank you.
And, and no, I mean, this is a serious matter, I mean, this is not how we can end it.
Yeah.
And, and, and for that man to give you the props he did, I was, you know, I was very, very proud of that.
And I really, again, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you do.
You are the hardest working man in show business.
But, for all the crew, especially you, because without you, there is no show.
Oh, that didn't, no.
No, there would be a show, it just wouldn't be here.
Next to him, with his Hulk-a-manius shirt, telling the world that Hulk Hogan has now been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame,
I didn't know he'd been suspended for three years.
Greg's here, how you doing, brother?
Doing good, doing good.
Sit next to him as a man who politely has finally taken his shades off in the studio,
and he is proclaiming to be a goat.
I thought that was Daniel Bryan, but I could be mistaken in LA's here.
How you doing, brother?
Man, France has won the World Cup.
Yep.
And now the rest of the world, the rest of America goes back to not liking soccer for another year.
Because the women's next year, because they go back to back years,
I actually enjoyed watching what I did of the World Cup.
It was a lot of a great tournament this year.
Yeah, Croatia, right?
Yeah, I've run for them.
So it's going to be in France next year.
Oh, is it?
The women's.
For the women's is in France, so we are from France.
Next to him is representing the Tulsa Triller today brought me back a program from the game.
Russ is here.
How you doing, brother?
Hey, glad to be back here.
And rounding out the dance is the newest member of the cast.
So much going on.
And a man who is extreme.
Alex is here.
Welcome, sir.
I am happy to be here, but I got something especially just for LA for when he gets it.
I thought you were waiting to do that.
No, I'm just going to block him out now because he's already starting on everybody's side.
Alex has a hoodie on that has Odell Beckham Jr. on the side of it.
And that side faces directly at LA.
I'm a bit confused because I don't see crutches or a cast on it.
I don't know if it's really him or not.
Well, you see, that's because it only happened once.
It's not like dad's where you have to find the unemployment.
Sorry, he's not even a member of our team.
And we just started season 9.
Yeah, I think a picture of that.
Again, thanks to everybody that listened to last week's show.
I really, gosh, I cannot believe it was nine years ago this past Thursday that we started doing this thing.
But we're going to keep doing it.
It is time to talk extreme rules.
The one night of the year where the WWE thinks it's extreme.
So the extreme, that's so extreme rules.
Yeah, the extremish rule.
Right.
Remember, all pay-per-views are four hours.
I've actually got picks from Steven from Andrew and from GenRome.
GenRome cannot be with us tonight.
She has some things going on that she's been talking about.
So we want to send our best to her.
Andrew said he was going to try to be here, but he sent picks just in case.
Steven was moving this weekend.
So he said he's going to try to be here later.
Doc actually sent his picks.
He's at band practice.
He's going to be here later as well.
Who cares?
Because he's Doc and he hates you.
So let's get into some.
Unless you had anything, sir, I didn't have anything from last week.
I got into a clean show.
It was a good show.
Because it was a general.
Doc, the first screening that we did was me with unfinished songs.
I'm finished song.
That was it.
We couldn't remember the name of it.
I'm finished song.
You're right.
Before we saw the grandmasters.
Exactly.
And a very nice post about that list from Kelly Kitchen's.
Yeah, show that.
What a sweetheart.
So we love her to death so much.
Alright, let's talk some points updates.
Living in the cell.
But I would say you went money in the bank.
It's screwed on.
Money in the bank screwed on.
I'm really buddy.
And I mean everybody.
Doc, is it minus 44 at this point?
And all is right with the world again.
Now, let me put this in perspective.
Because a lot of people made some power moves at money in the bank this year.
I made one went down.
Doc went seven and three at money in the bank.
What?
And he was still eight points.
No, he was seven points in the hole.
Yeah.
Gen Rome is ahead of him at minus 23.
She went six and four at money in the bank and wound up with minus 12.
L.A., you are four points ahead of her at minus 19.
You went four and six at money in the bank.
My favorite pay-per-view to Bama.
But you know what?
You had negative 13 for the pay-per-view.
But you weren't in last place at the pay-per-view.
Whoa.
Oh, wait.
I am a point ahead of L.A.
And I'm just going to say this now.
So everybody in this studio hears me.
I am not losing points on the RAW's women's title match.
Because I was so busy trying to get all of you to shut up.
I couldn't make my pick.
He did have a fellow point.
So none of that this time.
And thanks for Greg for pointing out.
One episode.
One episode, okay?
Just everybody allowed everybody to talk.
Well, let's see.
Alex is eight points ahead of me at minus 10.
He went five and five at money in the bank.
And still was at minus two.
So let's see.
Andrew is at plus four.
He worked for him.
He went eight and two at money at the bank.
And he was the only one that got either one of the money
in the bank matches right by picking Alexa Bliss.
Yep.
Wow.
Let's see.
Don, you are two points ahead of Andrew.
You went five and five at money in the bank.
And you wound up at minus five for the pay-per-view.
How?
I called the shenanigans.
You got the six points for that.
But you lost 16 for the money in the bank.
Why are the matches?
Because you chose one of the new day members.
You chose the Miz and Ember Moon.
That's a minus 16 right there.
Ow.
Ow.
Five points.
Ow.
No, you had negative five points for the whole pay-per-view.
No, overall.
Right now.
My standing.
How many points?
Oh, you have six right now.
You're two points ahead of Andrew, but two points behind Chad.
It's going to be the worst champion.
Chad went seven and three.
Chad went seven and three at money in the bank.
And if you remember where Chad was at last time,
think about the fact he had the worst score at money in the bank
because he wound up at minus 17.
Ow.
But the good news is, you're still on the eight points behind
Stephen.
Really?
Stephen went seven and three at money in the bank.
And he wound up.
Where is he?
He was at negative 10.
Watch it.
So you really only lost one point on it.
So how many points is that?
You gained a point on it, actually.
How many points does he have?
He has 16.
All right, so he has 16 points.
So he has a 60 point lead over his dog.
Yeah, he has a 60 point lead over his dog.
Yes.
He has a 60 point lead over his dog.
Because Doc didn't feel bad enough.
Hold on.
Can we just acknowledge that a brilliant map
just came from Doc.
Doc nailed it.
He stuck the landing on it.
I suck any wish for that.
That's my thing.
All right, so let's go around the horn real quick.
Grades for money in the bank.
I gave it a C plus.
I will upgrade it to a B minus.
That was an enjoyable pay-per-view.
That was a better pay-per-view than it had to be.
Chad, you forgot to grade it.
Nope.
Don, you said B minus.
How are you ready now?
I'll give it a B because of the cash in.
Alexa Bliss, no one saw her walking on his champ.
No one did.
Somebody called that before the show
and forgot to say it on the show.
Yeah, he forgot to say it on the show,
so he didn't have it on the show.
If it didn't happen on the show, it didn't happen.
No, no, no, that's just for the smartest man credits.
Really?
Oh, they'll love you, buddy.
Let's...
Andrew said a B plus.
LA, you said B minus.
What are you thinking now?
I'll stick with that.
It was a solid pay-per-view.
Yeah, I'll stick with that.
I would say top two or three of the year so far?
Yeah.
Bold statement.
Rolling in July, though.
Well, was it a bold statement
with the way this company's going?
Stephen didn't grade it.
Doc said a B minus.
Jen Rome said a B minus.
Alex, you added a B plus.
You know, I...
I want to just give it a solid B
because I was expecting more.
I don't know what it was, but I was expecting more.
Really?
I thought it was good.
All right, so let's get into the week that was in our sport
because it is Extreme Rules Day as we kick off season 9.
So, Alex texted me earlier this week.
I have been going 90 to nothing for all week.
So, I've been really been scrambling to get the run sheet
put together.
I'll show you guys why after the show.
I've been working on something for work.
I want you guys to see.
So, I...
I can show it to you because there's nothing proprietary.
I got a new toy to play with on my computer.
It's called Adobe Premiere Pro.
I'm so glad you didn't take any pauses when you said that.
I know, that's why I said it like I did because I wasn't going to give you guys the chance.
But, Alex texted me and he goes,
dude, did you see this ring of honor in New Japan news?
And I said, no, and he goes,
okay, so I'll give it to you guys.
Oh, no, don't do that.
How dare you.
Don't do that.
I'm going to give you guys the conversation as Alex gave it to me.
I know, I'm cutting the studio audience off.
They've been drinking too much.
So, where is WrestleMania this coming year?
Japan.
No, it's not Japan.
Oh.
New York.
It's in New York.
It's at MedLife.
Oh, it's in the US.
So, what else exists in that area that WWE has a hammer lock on more often than not?
Cornie dogs.
That's the MSG.
That's the Square Garden.
And I heard something with ROH.
That's what I'm talking about.
So, ROH and New Japan are going to do a G1 paper view the night before WrestleMania at Madison Square Garden.
Which means takeover is going to have to go to Barclays.
Which is so weird that you're having WrestleMania without MSG involved at all.
Because if you're going to do takeover at Barclays and you're going to have to do Raw and Smackdown at Barclays too.
Because it's cause prohibitive any other way.
Yep.
Wow.
Telling you, and this is further proving to me that I don't think the Bucks, Cody or Omega are going anywhere.
No.
This solidifies this theory for me.
Because if they go, if they jump, then they're going to have to bail because they're not going to sell out that.
No, not only are they not jumping, there's a triple headline right there.
For that show.
And then they, they, I wouldn't see Cody going back so soon anyway.
I'm just saying that this is, this is, I think we're, I'm not saying we're at that day, but I can see it from here.
ROH is becoming the viable alternative we thought impact was going to be.
I will agree with that once they purchase this impact.
Once they actually purchase it.
Don't be surprised if you start hearing rumors after the crews.
Oh, because the Jericho Rock and Rager crews, which Alex will be at, there's a whole lot of cross promotion with ROH and impact in the biggest of ways.
And they've just started booking their ROH versus impact matches.
That's what I'm saying.
Starting with Sammy Callahan versus Marty Skirl.
Oh.
I'm telling you, that dude for a week of his life, that dude for a week of his life is going to see some of the best wrestling.
That we're never going to be able to see.
I would like to say.
Don't worry, I'll only rub it in a little.
I would like to nominate myself as first alternate.
I would like to be the missed congeniality of this.
If, if Miss America cannot perform her, her, her, her duties.
I would like to step in.
I miss, I misunderstood.
Right.
You were mistaken.
Yeah.
Let's see.
So from the Department of Things Backfiring, no Emmy nominations for WWE after all of that campaign.
Oh.
Nice.
I need to look.
I haven't started yet.
That's how great it is.
Just throw them in there.
It's great.
I am intrigued on the number of Emmy nominations for Game of Thrones, because didn't that season finally happen?
Almost two years ago.
No, it was last year.
Lesson, lesson last year's Emmys.
That was contingent for last year, not this year.
I feel like there was a break between the last couple of episodes that put it just over.
So Clash of Champions now off the calendar.
TLC being moved to December.
Where it used to be all the time.
Right.
So why did we drop Clash?
Because with the co-branded pay-per-views.
Because those were TLC and Hell in the Cell were both in October.
So they just moved TLC to December.
Bumped Clash of Champions from October.
Clash Hell in the Cell is in September.
Not October.
Oh, well it's at the end of September though.
But Clash will make more sense with them co-branding because you could actually match up Champions versus Champions.
Wrestling Logic.
That was Survivors here.
So let's see what Gold Dust is having both of his knees scoped.
He's going to be out for, oh yeah.
Yeah, it happened this week.
He's going to be out for a few weeks.
He did it.
He did it.
He did it.
And then go both head surgery at the same time.
Correct.
Some bod, some bod, five, five.
Some raw notes.
In the opening segment, dear God, that Boston crowd was hot, but I couldn't quite tell for who.
That was a really weird down.
Were you able to watch anything while you were on vacation?
I know that you guys had so much going on.
Yeah, I got back when I got back on Friday. I bought did you notice that in that opening segment how like I couldn't tell who the crowd
Was actually cheering for whether it was Lashley or Reigns and I don't know that they were cheering for either one of them
I hate to say it rain Scott his booze when Suze saw him in the back that you heard the whole crowd boo
And what exactly are we doing with gender mahal
I think he's now the power of positivity, but then he goes heal
What here's why here's why this is a bad idea. They're doing this whole meditation thing in
The shadow of and maybe I'm I'm in the minority on this one
I subscribe to the ESPN 30 for 30 podcasts, which I think are amazing
This season is one story told in five parts and it's all about the guy that in quote-unquote invented Bikram yoga and
It's dark
And so I think maybe the timing of this version of his character in the light of and go listen to that story
It's a five part. They run about 40 minutes apiece. It's fascinating and it you will so many times you will say in two hundred minutes
this freaking guy
Do you think that they're intentionally doing that though?
I hope not because I'm telling you this thing is the subject matter here is incredibly dark
Well think about the bludgeon brothers that are straight out of the 80s during the 80s you had okay, but not
That kind of dark
Perino like me to kind of dark. Oh, yeah, okay
I'm out. That's why I'm saying like I don't know if somebody hasn't done the research to figure out like this is a bad idea
Because I again fascinating 30 for 30 but I'm in my car like screening the whole time. I'm listening to it
And he's not even wrestling right now, which I don't get. Yeah. Why would you even change his gimmick? Yeah, I don't get it either
I can't one thing on list of pay-per-views the hella stills the 16th like you said October 6th the super showdown in
Yes, yes, that's coming
Do you think Sean heard 30 minute Iron Man match and went oh, that's cute
I don't think you could keep the crowd that now they're catering to
On board for an hour. I love Iron Man matches, but here's the problem with an Iron Man match
That's going to be the beer break for a lot of people, but you got the right to guys right
But the thing is I know that I can go grab something from concessions and still be back before the matches over because I know the match is going 30 minutes
But I wouldn't see people leaving a but this is if you remember on raw when it was angle
Was it Benoit that they did a 30-man Iron Man match on raw and
The viewership took a nose dive for those two guys
Beak and everybody tuned over and then came back right at the end of the Iron Man match because they wanted to see the end of it
But I think that was because those guys have no high flyers
Those guys have no off the ropes and all that when when
Angle was back then well Benoit really well, you know, that's a man
Then why I had that 60 minute one with triple H in the pay-per-view remember that one
But I know I know it was angle you may want to double check that Don being the fact checker
I know it was angle. I want to say it was Benoit, but I could be wrong
They had a 30 minute on raw on raw. It was in our two
But you remember that that Ziggler and
Rollins match for the title the first time they're gonna put on a great match
But I just say three commercials there there is a risk in this day and age of the fan being who they are
There's a risk you're gonna read it depends on what they run before that match also true. Yeah, I'll give you that absolutely
What we learned today via Dolph Ziggler don't screw up a promo in Boston
Boy they gave him the business and somebody else did too. Yeah, it was too bad. Yeah, there was two bad ones
I want to say it was a lot of somebody did a bad one
And I'm saying it I know that I usually pick last but I'm putting it out there and right now put the belt on the
Beeteen tonight. I'm saying it
these two
Have found their niche, but the logic though to that because of the fact that they've been having their number for a four week
I agree with you
But I think that this sets up an amazing because if you if they lose tonight you lose the momentum
I really believe that this program them in the deleter of worlds. This could be one of the best programs of the year
It was Benoit Angle at backlash. It was Benoit Triple H on raw. Okay, so Don you're you and I were both partially right
We just had our programs back. I still get minuses on that last story in my life
Hey, hold on go ahead Kurt Angle true with Sean Michaels on a raw also just to let you know, okay
But that one was I remember that that one was good though that one was great
Okay, cuz Angle did the we was doing a back flip. Yeah, okay, you're right. That one was great and
So kind of following up on something we talked about either last week or week before or we week before that because we don't have a show
Elias was playing a fender on Monday night. I'm just saying he was he's claiming he's endorsed and
They're not denying it
Here's a thing he's not scheduled to wrestle tonight, but I feel he'll be there. Yeah, do you know why this is this hometown?
He's one of this is yeah, and he knows he knows McAfee and the thing is I wait for him
Well, how he's gonna rip that town cuz if you listen to him
He was oh, yeah, he's on Austin's podcast
He goes that wasn't one of the funnest things going into Pittsburgh and ripping it cuz I'm from there
So I want to see what he says tonight congratulations to impact wrestling signing one Tessa Blanchard full-time
Three years I believe those three years and our Alex and I the only one that saw what it could have been one of the greatest spots on impact
Wrestling in the last decade this week
Okay, they showed this on Facebook
I will go further and say outside of the Rollins RKO where he got launched
This might be from WrestleMania might be one B so I can't remember who was wrestling. It was OVE and somebody else
Where one of the LA X I think could have been one of the opposing guys came off the top rope from screen left
So stay with me. He comes off the top rope
He gets to the highest point of the jump one of the guys from OVE comes from the other
Turnbuckle jumps off catches him at the height into an RKO
This was yeah, he's working for impact. I'm sorry. I did which one get released
No, no, they dropped those charges. Those charges. He got released almost. God almost a year ago. I don't know
They got really they was just oh no, that was earlier this year wouldn't I thought it was
No, no, they released him after that incident and then he was good at the charges
And now he looks more homeless when you weren't for impact, but
From from but go out look and look at that spot
That's one of the best spots that impact has done and probably the last 10 years that I stumbled on on Facebook
And I was like oh dear God
Let's see
Caitlyn announced for the may young classic she is coming back Houston zone Houston Houston Houston
And so they announced the first six participants in the may young classic of
So they got that going for you. Let's talk some a little bit of Smackdown um
I really hate to say this first bit, but
Does it seem like Miz has lost steam on the Smackdown roster like he does it
There's something that's missing with him being on Smackdown. You know what it is. I was just I could see that
I was just these these are on yeah, I was I was I was
Okay, sorry, nothing more. I was just
Talking about this other day
Notice all the wrestlers who are hot like fire on raw
When they flip the Smackdown, they either are non-existent
Samoa Joe and etc. Or they do lose this thing new day. Yeah, exactly
So I agree Smackdown it drains and the weird part of the energy of the part of the weird part is it's not like Smackdown's a bad show
I enjoy Smackdown. Sometimes I enjoy Smackdown more than I enjoy raw and he went live
But yeah, and they're live
I don't know there's just something weird and I don't know what now they are gonna get a brand new set and everything when they move the Fox next year
The redesign you think the storylines are they gonna up the game on that show too since it's gonna be our Fox?
They're gonna have to I will say this for a billion dollars. You better just come down. I'm glad he brought it up
The storylines are amazingly weak on Smackdown. I'll agree if they're not already weak on raw
They are amazingly weak on Smackdown because if you take current Smackdown current WWE
It's not Fox is known for having some edge your shows, right? Well, you know that they're not edge enough for Fox. Well
But she know part of the reason that they cut that check was because they're about to lose UFC
Yeah, UFC's going to ESPN. Yeah, okay. So
Huh, they had to do something. I love the new team hell no shirt
Yeah, it's got Kane's mask and Daniel Bryan's arms coming up out of the size of the mask. I love it
Speaking of premature pics. I was almost with them, but I don't know man. I think it's but let's get there
Let's get there. Let's get there
I was really hoping Ellsworth would spray himself in the eyes by mistake and that might happen tonight. You never know
Let's see and am I the only one that noticed how
How big he referred to Daniel Bryan in that back back stage segment. Yes
He called him goat face killer
And they okay, so we got that one
Oh, that's where I'm getting there because that's that's okay. We'll just we'll skip and come back
I said here's my note Kane quoting in sync Daniel Bryan lighting up the ring what world am I living in right if you notice on
The Ellsworth match on the two he had with Oscar. He never physically did he any offensive moves to her
He can't I think that's smart. I think I smart book. You're absolutely right. If you notice he never hear
You okay, but he never physically touched her. No seriously. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm good. You mean to do that. Yeah, okay
Yeah, cuz don't like hit hit the mic stand with his hand pretty hard
That's why that from here that looked like he punches her. Yeah, no, you're right. No, you're absolutely right
I know a guy in Austin, Texas. I can probably show you how to handle right now. There's a man
And
Here's here's my thing here's my thing
I want a Daniel Bryan Eric young program so bad I can taste it after Tuesday night
Holy god the two of them would be an amazing program. Yeah, that that might revitalize that brand if you can pull that off
You know what it'd be amazing even more amazing than that. What if a pay-per-view all impact wrestlers headline that's
Easy these are gone. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. All right, so anything else anybody has before we get to start writing the card delete
Delete
So
Anything else they've asked for we run the card rob that would be a match by the way a great match
All right, so let's be clear. We have 12 matches to run through tonight
One of them has already happened. Okay, so everybody and everybody wins every nobody actually one part
Genroan picked against it
So but I'm not gonna penalize her because yeah, because we all haven't had a chance to pick it
We should have done the pre we remind me at Somersam that we start with the pre show
Picks and then in the me to we don't want to right. We don't want to pay for
Start with the agreement do that that day. Okay, okay
All right, so so your free show match on draude cn almost did some feet defeat Sin Cara died
So we also have a pre show tag team tables match
New day versus sanity Andrew has picked sanity Stephen has picked sanity doc has picked the new day
Genroam has picked sanity chat sanity
Don
sanity all right Greg
All right, L.I. You got to sanity new days established sanity. Yeah sanity sanity
That's so I like how you you know that's ended at very very clear sir nice sanity
I'm going the other way really
I think that
sanity for for some reason I just feel like sanity winning this would kill the angle
That's like this is the one of the very few times that a heel winning would kill the angle
I think new day wins this set up. He's not gonna die right no, okay
I think new day with winning this sets up the angle
With especially with sanity being so new to the roster
It'll be one of those welcome to smack down. We're gonna run this thing till survivor series. Okay
Why would love to see the two that those two teams in the cell? I can see that would be a magazine no contest tonight really
Where it just gets out of hand
All right, so this is not any specific order
This is the order that I think they're important. We're gonna start with Roman Reigns Bobby Lashley
Let's see Andrew says Lashley Steven says Roman doc says Roman Genroam says no contest. Yes
Don we start with you
Oh
You know what I guess yeah, I'm gonna see no contest. All right great
No contest L.A. Yeah, this is not an extreme rules match right that there's there's no there's only one extreme
Okay, yeah, yeah, definitely is a double DQ no contest. Okay. Yeah, I'll go with the new contest
I'm gonna go Roman chat same thing no winner. So what's on the line with the no contest? Here's my thing
Well, no contest you lose the points
But you know, no contest happens remember if a no contest happens no points gain no points lost and see I was thinking that that might have been
So yeah, that's more no, I've always said if it's a node if it's a double DQ nobody wins nobody loses
That's that's only but here's my thing
I think you're both right
I think this thing gets to a point where a ref counts it out and angle comes out and says no no no no no no
There will be a winner tonight because isn't this for the number one contendership they never said ever said it
Because there was usually it was a six pack challenge and that got moved okay, so
Antidium moment is already the number one container. He's not putting it on the line
So what happens if Roman wins do I lose a point then or what or since I called notes yes, you'll lose a point
So we can't really think about picking it but we got the lose correct
I will I will say Roman actually wins this after angle comes out and changes the rules
That will make me so happy. I think that because
Otherwise, you have one extreme rules match on this entire card
You know what's gonna happen for the raw women's title. You know what's gonna happen
Is that he's gonna do that and then it's gonna get out of hand again and then you know who's gonna step in and win the whole thing
John Cena moving on
Finn Bauer versus Constable Baron Corbin
Call of that Andrew is called that his name is some kind because his mama name Constable
Oh
Andrew says Finn Bauer Steven says Constable Baron Corbin
Doc in general both say Finn Bauer Greg. I believe we're to you
Finn Bauer all right L.A
Wrestling logic says Bauer because Constable has had him
I'm even saying it
I love watching his internal struggle happen externally. It's an hour show L.A. Let's go
Already said Bauer all right Russ
Uh, the other guy
Constable Baron Corbin
Or Finn Bauer Corbin. Okay Alex
I'm gonna go with the other guy
Finn Bauer Chad Corbin done since Constable Corbin is being very Corbin right now
I'm gonna go for Bauer winning because the other guy is Constable's being Baron Corbin right now. So this is
Is this the second time we've done this bit?
No, it's always been multi-man before that
And Bauer can't lose
I'm gonna say it's Bauer because what this does is this drives Corbin deeper into his madness
And then Stephanie's gonna have to step in. What's he's being Baron Corbin still?
No, he can't be
And he knows Mac if he's been winning and he and he and McAfee played together
So right because he's been winning exactly
Braun Strowman versus K.O. Owens
I think I'm referring him that way. Hey K.O. Owens. What you in the ring? Let's see Kevin Owens
Braun Strowman picked by Andrew
Every all four of them picked Strowman
So L.A. We go to you. You know what?
I'm going the other way on this one
So you're you're saying I'm gonna say it by a count out or something like that. It's a cage match
Oh, that's right. This isn't the cage
So they can't didn't count it out in the cage
He's gonna be counted as the winner when he gets out of it. You guys gotta let me finish
You got to let me finish
Okay, I went the long way. Okay
That went the long way. All right. The scenic right. She's not a super tramp out long
It's gonna be one of those situations where
Stroman throws him into the ring goes out he wins. Yeah
Braun Strowman
My fantasy booking wants to go with L.A. that the the briefcase is on the line and Owens get spiked through the cage
But they're not that smart. I'm gonna go throw him in
Strowman Don I'm gonna see us
Another thing of the
Lesnar reigns thing like he's talking
Strowman's gonna win this great
Strowman
I
Kind of subscribe to the L.A. theory, but I'm gonna go the other way in here. So it's gonna happen
Strowman's gonna rip the door off the cage and walk out six capes
Others legs
But you know why that won't happen because that's a brilliant. That's why that won't happen
But it's perfect for always that would be losing that would be
That would be that would be the moment of the year that would be the moment
Better he's gonna piss. Here's his spot. Strowman is lifting the whole cage
And the thing is that's gonna be the deal on raw is that Kavanaugh is gonna say I beat mr. monster in the bank
I should get a title shot that's gonna happen book it
That's called doing the right thing. I still think that's also what you I mean you're you're really with
I've got to stay with Strowman, but he risked the reason I think it won't happen
That's brilliant. The reason won't happen because they just did it with the Lezner in
They just did it recently. I'm not gonna do two times overseas. They don't care about that. And it was in the middle of the day
Let's see United States title on the line
Jeff Hardy versus Shinsuke Nakamura. I don't know about this one. All four Andrew Stephen dock and Genroam all picked Shinsuke
Russ rabbit Russ
I will say Hardy
night
Alex
Shinsuke Nakamura new new champion clean new champion clean chat Nakamura all right
Well, I don't know about clean. There's probably going to be some more
Shinsuke wins
Okay, L.A. Nakamura's
I'm torn on this because
After you have him in the title picture is putting the US belt on him
The way to go
The belt just got screwed out. You know they got to do that
But they got to keep them out of these and he's going to still being US top
There's got to be a grown on that town
The match with doesn't feel wrong. Where's the Phil horn?
But you know what the man carries a valid point
And plus that belt on Jeff Hardy really isn't meaning anything right now. So I'm gonna have to say
He's not to mention he's hurt bad
Every match he has
Why are you whispering it?
Dolph Ziegler Seth Rawens
Uh
Andrew says Ziegler
Jen Steven and Doc say Seth Rawens Alex. I believe we're to you. Uh, we are and this is the one I've gone back and forth
You know, because smart booking would be Ziegler. I think it's going to be Rawens. Check
Ziegler retains done
Seth
I like Ziggy. Okay, getting Ziggy with it
I'm gonna say Ziegler wins this. It'll come down to a tie break
Because this gets Rawens out of the intercontinental title picture and into the universal title picture
Matter of fact, it's not going to end in a tie break is going to end with them having the same
Time goes out and then he's by default going to stay the champ
That's a good call
But they're gonna go to sudden death. They always go
Yeah, they will
Raw tag team titles on the line
The leader of worlds versus the B team. I've already made my pick a parent
But everybody else that's turned in picks Andrew Steven Doc and Jen Rome are all saying the leader of worlds Chad
We're back to you B team. All right chats with me go done
Of I just
I'm going with my heart on this one because I'm getting tired of the hardy thing
I got to go with the B team to win this because I love boat Dallas because I believe that they're gonna become
champions believe
Gross you want to fire up that failhorn again, please? Please? I beg any please
Greg says B team L.I. Yeah, they're setting up for the revival to get a shot
And this not gonna be against the B team unfortunately. I think that helps their heal them if they do
But they but because then it just beat up on the B team because if you beat up on the leaders of worlds
There's there's so much more heal heat when you beat up on a team like the B team than there is on the leader of world
This is the W.A. That's fair. My question is the revival
Can actually it would they be considered shenanigans? It would be but we've already moved on Don Don you know the rules
So let's move on you can do your pick
Now they're not coming at though. I don't think so. I'm going with uh, I think if they do it'll be tomorrow night anyway. Yeah, the leader of worlds
I believe in the B team
Uh, your booking makes way too much sense
It receives to be the theme of tonight's episode. So I'm going with the leader of worlds
100 agrees with me
See, I told you. Okay. Yeah, there he is. All right
Smackdown Smackdown line tag team champion just on the line. He just sat right on top of
It's no
I mean, I mean full on just I'm sitting right good luck on a hard mode tonight's episode of the podcast is brought to you by fancy
It's my good hunter's favorite. That's my good ball
Hunter's favorite is whatever you put in the front of it. He doesn't he doesn't
He's not called his brother on the other is the brand called food
Yes
JB chips on the line bludgeon brothers team hell no
All four Andrew Steven docking general. Oh no, uh, general. Um, actually says team hell no the other three say the bludgeon brothers
Donna believer to you
I'm gonna go team hell no all right great hell I
Not this or at least I don't want it this old but it's
It's up going over canus. Why are they doing this? I need to understand. I'm gonna go with bludgeon man
But I think something can now the newest member of three count apparently
two mil no all right Alex
Unfortunately, I think this winds up setting us up for a disappointing summer slam of cane versus Daniel Bryan
I'm gonna see the bludgeons and miss getting involved. Are you calling shenanigans? Oh
One more time sir. I'm gonna pass on the shenanigans. Yeah, I'm gonna pass on the shenanigans
Oh
Taco
I love how long this time
Chad that was that was awesome. Legend brothers moving on I I agree to bludgeon brothers
I think this team hell no thing
It's going if they put the belts in these guys this thing because I don't run it's course quickly
Yeah, I like to t-shirt, but it's run its course right
Now if cane is revealed doesn't remember three count that it'd be the grace day after but still
Did it
Raw women's championship extreme rules match
Alexa Bliss nia jacks now
Oh god, I have had to do a lot of thinking on this match it
I'm going to make a judgment call this is the worst match
Ronda rousey is not shenanigans because she has been involved with this thing since the pay-per-view
I cannot let you call shenanigans on this match
She's already been announced as being yeah, and she's sitting in the front row
I mean I like you can't telegraph this anymore if they sent me the script no no
It's the same telegraph has changed elsewhere. Yeah, exactly
But we were we allowed that though. We we did allow that and Hogan's didn't Hogan apparently was in Cleveland
Alexa Bliss nia jacks
Russ are we to you are we to Greg Greg where do you?
not a drag all right
This is extreme rules right yes, sir anything goes so really you can't have shenanigans on it
Alexa's gonna retain okay Greg
not jacks all right
And by the way all four Andrew Steven doc in general my ball picks Alexa Bliss
And I will agree with the remote fix chasm as well. I don't
I'm gonna do Alexa, but if someone else gets involved with that be shenanigans if it's not ronda rousey
Yes, I'll let you are you declaring shenanigans, please do please do so you can go down come on do it
Please do it do it do it do it do it do it do it
Yes, fingers right here on the button. You've got done is the creation and again
Okay, now know would you like to predict this shenanigans because you you won't lose points
Or you're just declaring shenanigans, but just just for grins and giggles. What happened?
I think with this baywee they're gonna be in the show somewhere
I think possibly the baywee in
Sasha get involved in all that because or could be natty because natty she's a friend of ronda
You know what I'm saying?
That's fine. I don't I feel like we can take the points away
Yeah, no, but again, just he's just declaring shenanigans right it's just for grins and giggles of him saying yeah
Possibly natty too, so a natty turns heel on ronda. Oh, I guess coming that's
That's there no penalty for a declaring shenanigans. No, there is a there is for declaring
But like just saying who it is. I'm not gonna analyze you declare that it's going to happen
But if you want just for the grins and giggles to say this is who it's going to be because I think natty is probably getting involved all right great
Great started it. Oh great. Yeah, we've got to learn. Okay, so I am saying Alexa retains. We've already done the naya ronda bit
Yeah, so now we need to do the ronda. Exactly. We need to the ronda Alexa bit
So some back down women's championship on the line Carmella Asuka
Let's see Jen Roman Andrew have picked Carmella Steven and doc have picked Asuka L.A
Yes, you're putting the belts on both of the ones who won the royal rumble tonight. So you're saying Asuka tonight. Yes, a belt
Yeah, that's fair. Go with Carmella
What? With elsewhere in a cage. I'm going. Oh, yes
Elsa is held above the ring in a sharp cage. So I am going to give it to Asuka with Charlotte eminent to return Chad
Asuka done
Yeah, I know Elsworth is not shenanigans because he's part of it. You can't
Possibly that he's gonna get involved somehow because you look at what happened with the
Stay with him. Just stay with him
My what won't you?
I am saying this belt does not change hands because number one it's not the major
When you put that belt on Asuka, it's gonna be a major number two
Maybe we're not hanging Elsworth over the aisle
We're hanging him over the ring
He can pull out the spray dump it off the side of the sharp cage into the ring
And then Carmella sprays herself because Elsworth jacked it up. That that was fun. That would be fun
And I think that if you're when you're gonna put the belt on someone that has the allure that Asuka does that has to be at a major
Dude, you keep talking like you're booking
This is the dub. You don't know. This is you don't know. This is dub dubby
Don't know. It's double double it
And finally wwe chimichib on the line a j styles versus rusevde
All four Andrew Steven doc and general have all said a j retains
Who are we two are we two russets point a j styles
styles with a potential turn from
Eight in English. All right, Chad styles don't a j
a la you know what my heart says
Do it wait wait. It says what day is it?
Rusevde
I'm sorry. Hold on. It's
Rusevde
It's a j styles day
Now according to my calendar that outstop mean think to give to that calendar
This belt
Changes hands. Oh my god
Wait, wait, wait, wait, you need to clarify
And I am declaring shenanigans and it can't be eight right it can be anybody wait
Oh, it won't be aiden. Okay. Oh, okay. Well, that's what we're saying. It's gonna be your new us champion
Because he wants to be a champion and not let a j be a champion. Oh
Oh, you're gonna get shenanigans of shinskay getting in. Yes, sir because I can't call shenanigans on on 2.0
I'm just saying we I can't call shenanigans on aiden because he knows it right the shenanigans come from shinskay
But you're saying league of nations 2.0 or just him just him messing over
Yeah, just him just him screw in a rage. Well, they don't like it Joe. You know that yeah
All right
Well Chad that's interesting as the card stands grade the card
It's been on the road see done since it's supposed to be extreme, but it won't be extreme
It's extreme. Yeah, I'm gonna give it a C plus because of the Pittsburgh crowd. They get rowdy. Yeah, they do
Down there. I do see great. Just see
Knocked down to a C minus due to them being in Pittsburgh
And for two being extreme ish rules. It's it's next stream. I'll give it a B minus
I actually have some decent hopes for this. I'm gonna agree with Ross on the B minus
But if my fantasy book can come true and Owens finishes the night with the briefcase. I'll give it an A
He's not as briefcase not online. You don't know if that happens during the show shenanigans
You only have two matches if you include the pre show on this entire card that have anything to do with extreme rules
So I'm gonna have to I'm gonna I'm gonna rate it low and give it room to grow
I'm gonna say D plus right now rate it low room. Yeah, I'm a poet didn't know it but my feature show it because they're long fellows
So I mean, I just if you're gonna do extreme rules do extreme rules
You know like you're gonna have a pay for you called TLC have a tables match a ladders match and a chairs match
And then a TLC match if you're gonna have extreme rules be extreme rules. You have a helmet shell. How more than one?
I agree the thing that actually got floated over to me is by the end of the year sanity may be involved in a TLC match
I'm on board
All right
It's almost time for extreme
