It is 701 on the East Coast. It is 401 on the West Coast. We're going to make some adjustments on the board here.
It is the 24th of July in the year of our Lord 2016. Season 7, Episode 2, 352 times this voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast live every Sunday nights. For one stop shop, for all things, pop culture, that is kind of what we do.
Welcome. A little bit different today, because it is the day of WWE Battleground. So we're going to be covering that for you over the next few minutes of your life.
My name is Rob. I'm the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast and things down a little bit weird. We're going to a little bit of an adjustment phase.
I've got some new equipment in the studio that I'm kind of messing with a little bit here. Joining me across the desk is he tends to do his my co-host and a man that has been at least one battleground in his life. He is Chad.
Welcome, sir. You can count him all on a couple of hands at this point. I wouldn't say battleground, more like battle sea mostly for you.
Because you are mostly on the boat, right? Yes. Okay.
Does not diminish from your service. I really appreciate that I just wasn't sure you ever had to be on the ground for any of it. I'm just talking domestic.
Oh. I've been to sports city on a UFC weekend. I will neither confirm nor deny that things are saying.
I've been through a divorce. I know what love really is a battle. Hey, one of my favorite songs from the decades are Magnum mistake.
Also joining us across the desk is the official fact checker of this show and a man who waves his flag high. Well, it's high as he can anyway. You may know him as font and don go, but his mom and even Don Porto, I'm going to call him Don Porto.
Welcome, sir. I'm excited. You know why?
Because Roman Reigns is coming back? No. Okay.
Because we got a first in a long time. That is true. That is true.
The planets are a little aligned for us tonight. What's the luck? Time.
Also joining me across the desk is a man and don's right. Haven't had him in the studio in quite some time. What did I say?
Yeah. The two of them in the studio at the same time. People were starting to think we were the same person.
Yeah. Yeah. He's a man who has a very important day on the calendar to promote here in just a little while he is John Houser, but you be able to call him Doc.
Hello, sir. Oh, let's climb my leapsions. Listen, my son, listen.
And here we go. Go. I fear for the future of this country.
Oh, so do I. It's got nothing to do with Doc. So one correction from last week.
Oh, what did I do? Leave me my volume up a little bit on the headphone jack thing there. Please.
With all these adjustments I'm having to turn so I'm certain things down. Another thing's much better. Thank you, sir.
What did I miss? Oh, she's okay. I'll turn it down a little bit.
Not that. Now turn it down a little bit. Holy cow.
How about that? Are you okay there? I said the draft was Monday night.
The draft was actually two. Yeah. I was all riled up to watch raw for the first time in ages.
I'm like, you liar. You're entitled to your mistake. To be fair why missed that because I was running around.
You are. But we had fun. Great time.
I want to thank everybody at the Asian Film Festival of Dallas and the in Jellica, mockingbird station for having us out this past week. How to great time. Great.
Listening back to the show. It sounded great. Great time.
We're very happy looking forward to doing that again next year. What was your favorite flick of them? I didn't get to watch any of the films because I had a very full week.
Don't cry. It will make my top 10 of the year mountain cry. I loved it.
I loved it. Cool. And Doc's not being facetious.
He is very interested. Yeah. Especially in a national film.
So, do you have an extra copy of the media guy that you can do? Oh yeah. Yeah.
There's some stuff that I think you'd be waiting for. Not with me. But I just had one in my bag.
And I just took it out yesterday. So since this is the day of WWE Battle of Grab, which would be live in the WWE Network here in about 54 minutes. We're not doing our normal show.
We're going to concentrate more on the world of professional wrestling. Because that's what this day is. We do these.
Well, right now they're once a month. It's starting month after next. We're going to be twice a month.
Well, I guess you could say this is our normal show for WWE paper. Right. And this is the last show before the official brand split.
Because the brand split is tomorrow night. Great. Both shows have brand new logos.
Yeah. Have you seen them? Not a huge fan.
Yeah. They're a little too simplistic. They're basic.
Like I could have designed that in Photoshop. But I don't even know how to use Photoshop. Not even that.
It looks like they used like one of those. Like one of those brother label makers to make the stinkin' thing. It's just.
Yeah. I haven't seen them yet. But I'll see if I get there.
And that's the shout out. Ain't nothing to shout about. Very man.
It's like all the flourishes are taken off. It's just plain color. You know, red text for.
I haven't even seen this SmackDown one. But the. The raw one is about as about as plain and basic as they can get.
Yeah. I don't know what you expect. I mean, you know, probably every other week.
There's going to be a paper of you now. Well, but you know, much. But for the for the wrong SmackDown logos.
They've always had some kind of a little. Yeah. There's always been some up to it.
They've they've had some kind of a uniqueness to them. But a seven year old crayons could have done better. I'm serious.
I mean, with crayons could have done better. It looks like somebody did this. It's still.
Joining us now. A little bit late, but that's okay. Because he had to suffer through TNA impact this week.
I'm sorry. Joining rejoining the show after a little bit of a layoff. Steve and Zimmerman is here.
Welcome, sir. It's. It's.
It's. What happened there. I don't know what happened.
Talk in TNA. Yeah. Hey.
There you go. You're watching TNA does. Drop your ability to speak.
Do you get hit with a chair? What are I? I'm brother.
I'm brother Stefan. Oh, God. Don't you dare.
So, like, were there more than 10 people in the crowd? Yeah. I'm about to put a blonde streak in my hair.
You start talking. Were you? Did you actually watch a show?
Were you actually out of taping? No. I just watched.
I was going to say I didn't think they're doing a taping. No. He just watched the show.
He doesn't hate himself that much. I'm much rather watched days of our lives. That was on the table.
More. My chair question still stands. Which one?
Did he get hit by a chair? I wanted. No, Steven Steven would be delivering the chair shot.
He wouldn't beat me. Okay, there's the raw logo. That's what we're talking about right now.
Steven is the new Ron. That's wrong. Can you see Steven?
Why? Why? It's almost like a Dodge Ram thing.
It's like in and out. It's like in and out. It's like in and out.
What? I remember it's now SmackDown Live. It's not just SmackDown Live.
SmackDown Live. That is so. Man.
Man. The raw. I can design that in word.
The raw looks like the raw Dodge Ram logo. Except the W. Except it.
He's upside down. It does look like it really does look like an upside down. Because there's no angles to the bottom of the peaks.
So you got that going for you. Which is nice. Some backstage reporting.
Apparently Triple H very high on the work of the Dana Brooke. So get prepared for her to get a monster. She looks good.
That's why. She looks good physically. Or she looks good in the ring working.
Physically. Not ring. No.
Okay. What? No.
We were talking about this in free show. I saw this today. Apparently Sunny wants to be on the show on.
Entertainment television called botched. So they can fix her broken nose. So it's about people who screwed their careers up.
My heart hurts for her. She needs more than a. She needs more than a nose job.
My heart hurts for Sunny. It really, really does. And.
Well, if she'd start taking an American Express on that camera show. She's got. No.
You can't say that. John Houser ladies and gentlemen, there he is. Oh, hey.
No. Go stay here. Dude.
Who do I hate now? The guy gives out his address on the show. Not one robbery.
Not one. Not one successful robbery. Yeah.
Yeah. We're not saying any attempts. Just one.
Yeah. So you start to. Sorry.
You can do the MX billing for Sunny then. Are you doing? Sure.
I'm a piece of that action. You'll talk that before. Wow.
Wow. That was almost like a matrix bullet dodge. Do you ever have those days?
We lost three wheels. Where you wake up and you go. I wish there was some mystery on how today is going to go.
But I think I've got a pretty educated guess. The moment Mr. Houser.
The moment Mr. Houser sat down all four wheels just blew out. Well, apparently.
Well, apparently speaking of Hayman. People were saying he's in renegotiations with the company. Yeah.
Yeah. He agreed to something. Oh, did he.
I hadn't heard he officially did. But. Leader now.
Leader is now not going to be an agent and producer anymore. She's just going to go to a full-time on-air panelist for the preshows. She's going to be kind of out of the business end of that.
So she's like, we could be like the Dudley boys like manager because they always job out the preshows. She's like dogs. Yeah.
Yeah. This could be the first preshow they haven't been a part of. So she couldn't take a renegotiations.
No. We're now young. Still going to be there.
It's going to be those two. And some of the else we're going to talk about here in a minute. Oh, really?
Because not only was there a draft for talent. There was a draft for the announced teams as well. Okay.
So you have some shuffling going on at the table. Which you're going to find out officially tomorrow night. But they put it out there on Tuesday.
Which should it our meals go to? The megos are still they're still universal. Who's the guy from NXT with all the tattoos and stuff?
Corey Grabs. We're going to talk about him. Stay with me.
All right. Cool. You're just.
So I could talk about Raw. But I accidentally deleted it off the DVR Tuesday morning when I was kidding. Some other things off.
No. You didn't miss anything. The only thing I had to say about Raw is apparently Raw is going to be the exclusive home to the new Cruiserweight Division when it gets up and running.
Yeah. You just found out that that was announced two weeks ago. We haven't talked about anything a couple of weeks.
Remember, we were on location last week. So we think it's a talk about it. At least we had.
We were off two weeks before that. I haven't. How was the big coin movie?
Oh, the big coin. I didn't get to see it down. Did you get to see it?
How was the Cleveland movie? The one lost in Cleveland. I never saw that.
That was part of the shorts. We were on the air when it was showing. Yeah.
But it sounded so. I mean, everybody was way high on it. All right.
You're earlier. I said. And you loved it.
The guy that we didn't view. The guy that was the director of the festival. And his badge was attack on Titan.
Like every badge had a different theme to it. Yeah. And they showed the whole thing.
And his neck length wasn't attack on Titan land. Your time. So I didn't get all right.
Other than that. Preston. Okay.
The lucha dragon. Sips split up. Oh.
I'm excited. One of my favorite tag team. I'm just.
I'm glad that that they just didn't turn. Sincara heel. Because that just would have been weird for me.
Let's see. We're still up. Okay.
We're still running. And I don't know if you guys. Oh.
Oh. Lord. You know how long it's been since I've seen the entire screen peak.
Like it just did. Oh. LA is here.
What's going on, brother? It's good to see you. I don't know if you guys heard about there.
There was a little bit of a backstage brew ha ha on Tuesday night. Still not saying what it was about. But it did involve Simon Gatch and Sincara.
He's got a bit of a fist of cuffs. He's got she's the guy from the bot. Yeah.
He's actually been suspended from television this week. He will be back next week. But they're still not saying what the scuffle was over.
We can car a botch the fight. Gatch, but not some car. No.
Hey, wait. It's Gatch of the guy who has the red bear and mustache. I don't remember which one.
Oh, he's the one that's got the handlebar. He's the one with the mustache. Okay.
So you won't be seeing them tonight tomorrow. It's not the whip lash of the two. So we've been we've been teasing ever since WrestleMania.
This big show shack match, which apparently there were some words. It's San Diego this weekend between them. Mark Henry has volunteered to referee that match because we don't have enough steel reenforcers for any ring at this point.
We need 9,000 pounds of humanity in a ring. Why don't you just make king like the guest timekeeper and get it done? We learned nothing from Bam Bam Bigel versus Lawrence Taylor.
But at least we didn't have the big Frankenstein walk as the ring shattered. Thank you. I lost his name.
Actually, a more scuffle. I was scuffle at that. Yeah, that was.
A more correct assessment would be. Did we learn nothing from Carl Malone and Dennis Rodman and the Doug. No, I'm Carl Malone.
Dennis Rodman wrestled overseas. Oh, okay. Okay.
Speaking of people overseas going in the belt created for them when they got there, I'm hearing rumors of an MVP return. MVP. Let's talk right into it.
Oh. So they are signed. They signed.
So we don't know when they're going to debut. They signed. I'll show you as part of this.
We don't know. Jeff Hardy has verbally agreed to terms. Jeff Hardy's like, after this booking, I got to go.
Yes. I got to add this. Why?
Moose. Him going to TNA. Was that a mistake, Stan?
Or are we going to go for WWE? I think he went there because Vince didn't want to sign him. Moose.
Moose is not good. By the way, I like TNA's craziness. Hey brother L.A.
All I'm going to tell you is they happened to the attitude. Dude, what I saw the footage of Matt Hardy showing the match in his theater room at his house. And the joys are awesome.
At what point is somebody going to go Dixie, just let it go. Let it go. You'll make your money.
Just let it go. Those are her prize pigs. She got nothing else going on.
AC3. And somewhere. AJ Styles is laughing as he rolls around on his bed of the year.
And can somebody answer why Lashley wears a hit band? I have been looking all over the internet to know why. What?
Because what's going to happen? They're going to start. And he's going to get something like LeBron.
He's just going to get wider every week. And now he's got two belts. And Bobby Roots going.
I should have stayed. I should have stayed. No, we did.
Bobby Roots was on with the company. Oh, who went back to TNA? Was it Storm?
Storm. Storm. Yeah.
Bobby Roots going to be called up in about four and a half. Yeah, I know. But beer money.
Because Bobby Roots too good to do that by himself. Like you don't need beer money. He's right.
I did like the dirty heels though. I like both of those tag teams. I'm a big fan of beer money.
But him and him and Aries together. That was a great tag team. Huge fan.
Great. Great. All my friends were women.
But like I want those shows. I walk around clubs all the time. Like that's not the same dirty heels.
Come on. And so we were talking teasing earlier. The rearranging of announced teams.
So here's how it's going to go down. Raw will still be Michael Cole. Great.
Will still be. Biron Saxon. Oh God.
But it will also be Corey Graves. Boom. Boom.
Boom. Smackdown. Will still be more Ronaldo.
God. Because I like to bring the Obama. Everything in my stands.
Thank you for joining us, Ryan. Hey, no party like the upper cut party. No, did you hear the one he did?
Did you hear the one he did last week? This won't be like poking on. Go.
Because it won't be a walk in the park. No. What about the.
What about the all the dude that happened? That. He's done.
He's done. Wait. What about the all the way up reference?
There goes. It's been. Stephen really left the city.
He has to. I'll ask your chair buddy. But now on.
Smackdown will be more Ronaldo. I believe Biron Saxon still going to work. Both shows, but JBL going to Smackdown, which leaves who.
King King is now going to be on the pre show panels. He's going to be off live television altogether now. Well, he but allegedly.
There was blame. There was blame on both sides of that thing. So.
And because I read the report and she's taking just as much blame as he is. Because she got a little. She got a little happy.
Then got a little angry. Yeah. Just a couple of things about Smackdown.
They did this one time. And I think they need to do this every time. If you're going to do the show live.
I don't know if you guys watched Smackdown live this week. I did. When they went to commercial break in the opening match.
Uh-huh. They had the commercials on the main screen. But the match still continued on a second screen within the screen.
Hey. Hey. What time out?
Did Michael Cole tell you how to download that on the depot? You didn't need the app. It was actually on your television.
That's what I'm saying. You did the second screen deal on your TV. No.
No. What kind of jokes did they take in for you to do? It was just witchcraft.
Is it what it was? But no. I'm saying do that every time.
It was sorcery. Especially if you're going to be live. Why wouldn't you do?
But the issue may have as the advertiser is going on. They're taking away from our commercial we're paying for. But the commercial screen was so much better than the match.
But there's still that might be an issue is what I'm saying. I'm the same as business. It actually made me sit through the commercial break.
So if they're smart, they let it go. Yeah. Also, so basically we're just going to ignore the webinar thing.
Yeah. No kidding. We treated, we treated the webinar like, wait, there was something.
Oh no. Because he was the greatest fighter of all time. And one of the worst MMA fights I've watched in years.
Talk right into it. Did you see what the original plans for the draft was? No.
He was supposed to be the normal one. Because he didn't get drafted. No.
He did get drafted. He got drafted. He got drafted later than seen it.
He was late. But like, they didn't mention anything about the drug tests or anything. Which I thought was weird because.
But they also went into that drug test. Yeah. WWE said that they that they're not going to suspend him.
And the, and wherever we are tonight. Or, no, no, at a for SummerSlam. They have said that they're letting WWE govern it themselves.
They're not going to the, the athletic commission has said. If WWE doesn't want to suspend him, then we're okay. Let's talk to Barclays, right?
So what are you talking about? New York. Is that where he's at the Barclays Center?
Yeah. Okay. So you got that going for you, which is nice.

Let's go ahead and run the card. Right now, Don running away with the competition this year. Just because apparently he and I are the only ones that are doing it.
Every month. We start with the pre show tag team match. The Usos versus Brie Zongo.
Chad, their name is for Breeze. Who just said Dumbries? Who just said who cares?
Can I echo that's take that? If you want to lose the point, some team. All right, Don.
Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don, Don. Who pulled a string? Who pulled a string?
I asked her much, I blame myself. LA. I don't know if I can follow that.
Let's go with double count out, that sounds more. Sounds more okay fair enough doc, uh, Breezango because no one's gonna be in the arena to see the match It doesn't matter For Breeze that darn does heal Rush you wanna throw something out there Rush you wanna throw something out there who's gonna win say for Breeze those those oh, you know, I'm gonna I'm gonna be a contrarian And save the guys with a nine hour ring entrance that needs to be probably cut down at this point Plus I watch the baller season premiere today, so I gotta stick with the semelan and Grace season premiere by the way Sometimes you just got as just Did Sunny star There was dialogue in the episode there was actual dialogue in the episode Yeah, that the guy that plays the kid that can't seem to get out of his own way. I didn't know that was Denzel washing his son Don't worry, she didn't ask her No, I'm just moving on That's a way in a diva's grudge match I guess Becky Lynch versus Natalia don't I'm gonna have to go with Natalia all right L.A Becky okay He's very very solid in this pick doc.
Oh Becky Crazy. Love the crazy. Hey, I have to go with Becky.
She falls down Twitter. So don't you really? Yeah, that's awesome Russ I gotta go with Natalia go old school all right I just this version of Italian as a heel wears me out That's why I go so and plus I have a bit of an unhealthy crush on the Becky Lynch so I think Natty V.
A shenanigans because Because you know that insert first match though, so it's usually goes to the heel in the first match Well, yeah, it because Charlotte's gonna get involved. Yeah, no, she's not she's got her own match to deal with that she don't have a crap about Natty Hey, you can't look but you can't touch Quiet you she's been cleared Nikki has been cleared So just I'm just saying Sammy Zane versus Kevin Owens This is the fight that never LA I want them to get it I want to be the double DQ cuz these two fighting are awesome And I just don't want it to end Let's do you think the dual DQ to lead to some kind of a gimmick match at summer sland yeah, yeah Okay, it's not gonna end now, but I'm gonna say Zane will pick up the cheap pop winters somehow roll-up or something All right, Doc. Oh, oh, and all the way all right, Stephen Oh, it's just much superior, but Sammy Zane has my initials, so I'm gonna go I was wondering that Very well played, sir You have the best Disney channel theme song ever Right your team's name mascot Chad Jane I'm gonna go with L.A.
and say double count out I'm gonna say what or DQ or something like LA one decision no decision that Kevin Owens Yes, but I still think and I as as blasphemous as this could sound I Think we get a ladder match at summer slam. Why do you hate us? No, no, just because the gimmick match always ends the angle These guys Let's lock them in a cave.
Here's the thing. What do you get put on top of the ladder court that? A lot can happen in the next five sure Tom saying six man tag match Because TNA is already complaining about gimmick infringement here New day Wyatt family Doc tag team title's not on the line.
Oh New day, okay, Stephen I'm with you. I'm solidarity Now with the other reason I want him to win this goes to the unicorn things There's gonna be some cheating them on the pointy things And we do it We do assume We do assume that this match will be live and not pre-taped It could be your business if I film it and charge you like five bucks a minute. Well, you do have the I take American Express guys remember this paper view starts in like a half an hour I got no one over here Yes, that is in stores now, by the way, Russ.
It's brand new day. All right, Chad You say tag titles are not on the line. It's just a six man tag type.
That's probably gonna be a white family Doc, you know, I've my redneck heritage from Montana while I'm in in me being white because I LA just to make him mad I'm gonna say new thing LA So so damn racist It's so racist that he's on it every every damn Hey, LA LA I really want new day to win because some of my best friends are the best I think I don't know it's after the big bruhaha last week or we whatever was two weeks ago that they had to big could you describe the bruhaha To be the rip off of the final scene from kickboxer with Jean-Paul Van Dam What the new day went and move on from this thing because they've been separated in the draft too Who did the whites are separated now? No, the new day stayed together for raw, but they separated the white family So what's it doing? You say gimmick infringement where you talking gimmick infringement because TNA was claiming that match the the kickboxer match was a direct rip on the Jeff Hardy Matt Hardy pre-taped backyard match from two weeks before Which there are similarities actually All right, let's see where are we six-tain another six-man tag team match because it's battleground what else are you gonna do?
One Shayna and Zoa Mori and big class versus big class big cast Versus the anti-theft device in your car Stephen Hey, wait time out y'all said big cast was gonna be the future he's trash So I'm gonna go with him because you can't teach that Chad The club, I guess all right dog can't teach that Want chain in the friggle on crack, okay, L.A. Sane had dropped a couple of papers already. He's due for one.
I hate to say that Doc the club because they prevent car theft So I tell the joke it goes nowhere It's not for Okay, so I'll so remember that the club has now been separated to AJ on SmackDown That's what I was gonna say remember Finn baller now a part of raw, which is why I believe the club wins Yeah, they've been making sure it's not but those weren't WWE shirts, okay, so those weren't like pro wrestling teams or anything It's coming and it happens today How okay, then okay, how long did the Y2 AJ shirts last a day? That's written in it. That's wrestling logic.
Thank you. Thank you. It's also merchant.
Dizing. Hey, those were never truly on sale Diva's tag team match Charlotte and Dana Brooks versus Sasha Banks and her announced tag team partner according to the Wikipedia Bailey So Russ will start with you, it's your turn The entire country Alright, chat Charlotte. I'm gonna go actually with Sasha because it's on title and she has to get the like the upper hand I think Mike Bennett's wife comes out in the shocker and defeats both all four of them.
I would lose my cool Miss Jackie comes out More drove mouth malfunction and we all Okay, Steven, how that hurt? I agree with Don on the whole it's time for Sasha to get the win to push her into the championship That's probably at summer slam if not summer slam what is your raw paper view in September Is bash at the beach you're actually pretty close capital punishments going to be class of champions Instead they're taking away night of champions and it will be class of champions now So it is technically but Can we this is a family show people I don't need kids asking their parents to explain certain things to them because then I get the hate man All right, you're not a state's title and the line Rusev and and you woo woo Chad, what is that writer? Do you need one to ask me that Alright, Don considering his last title reign was a day I'm gonna go through Seth.
Okay, well by that logic somebody else's last title reign was a day two Intercontinental WrestleMania anybody He dropped it the next night. That's what I'm saying. That's what got done That's what I said they're not gonna give him the title because last time Zach Ryder had a towel is only four days, so the Rusev's gonna stay LA I'm gonna go with Rusev because Zach Ryder should have already been dead by joining up with John C to when he was on fire So his career has been plummeting since he who's fall the was a dog I'm gonna go with Rusev but instead of using the shockers and Star Trek just came out he's gonna use the spotter the Vulkan said the Vulkan death bench I'm leaving it there Stay with me.
I got a friend TJ and the fact that that Zach Ryder got pushed off the stage like he's getting pushed off the clip. He's gonna win this match Russ I still Give that man about That's right. I still believe in Zach Ryder.
I'm a huge fan Is he in high bros But who is this tag buddy? I remember the high bros, but is he and he's one of the guys in American alpha? Who was who was this tag team partner in the high bros in NXT?
I know you tell my camera's name You know, we just got a comment in from friend of the show Scott Jackson. He says Ryder or Riot and I'm right there with him Why would you write it? That's bad.
Yo Scott what up All right, let's move on Let's see where am I in her continental title on the line The miss first is raise your reverse is tearing young dawn I could said earlier. I don't see any title changes because it's a minor thing in summer slams next month so I'm gonna say miss I like Miss is gonna be the flagship of the intercontinental title for Smackdown. So yeah miss I concur the miss all the way Steven Hey, they said make him I'm officially leaving the show Russ All right Chad I'll go with the miss even though I can't stand him Don't I'm calling shenanigans in this match.
There's gonna be no winner because you bring you just now bring Darren Young back And you put him in a title picture you have to build that angle so shenanigans and your main event triple threat match for the WWE heavyweight title Which we all think should have happened at WrestleMania to begin with Dean Ambrose Roman Reigns Seth Robbins for all the marbles LA The man of course The man baby, so you're saying Seth Rollins He never lost it. Actually he's lost it twice now. No, he's stole it His built Doc, can I keep you at the first time I'm going with Dean Ambrose I'd rather see the match between LA and Steve that's happened about Steven Easy My golf please This is what I'm talking about going on behind me Anyways I'm going with John Steven because he wins everything He's going to pull an edge elimination chambers I'll take Seth Rollins for the win Chad Is he auditioning for the new SmackDown I just want to get out of this room a while I'm not debating that I don't look like it is looking more bleak by the second I forgot what we were talking about Triple threat Ambrose They're not going to give it to Reigns They will not do that because him coming back That's apparently not real happy with him Yeah, so he won't win it so But still it's he regalization of but But by standing on that I'm going to have to go with Ambrose I think Ambrose retains But it's not going to be clean It's not a granite of stage forever There's going to be referees shenanigans This thing's going to go all over the arena Oh, that would be awesome You'll have the commissioners coming in It's a little nature Congratulations to Rick Flair engaged again More girls If you remember Back when he had his own talk show on WCW television was called Flair for the gold And he had the hot little maid that walked around that too He's marrying True story look it up It's going to have to attack team in there All right, so Yes Somebody I was just going to do a Bill Burr was on Austin's podcast and he brought up the shoes Cost more for the new house moment All his girls is drafted to smack down Are they breaking back No, they're keeping the same number of belts So I guess it's going to be if you hold a title you can defend on both ships So now As we tend to do on this show when we do these particular shows As the card stands, Chad, grade the card This thing looks like garbage I'm going to go see plus Okay, Ellie Doc See plus for the card, but a definite B plus for all the ramblings It's going to be happening in the living room There's a reason we don't record the show during the paper It's going to be at B plus Yeah, I got six Percent Is this is that your rotten tomatoes review or Oh six out of ten, okay Okay, I'm going to say about an A minus Russ very very generous He loves John Cena I I'm going to go just above average and say potentially see plus I don't see it getting any better than that because I think all of your surprises They're going to save for summer slam Yeah, this is going to be kind of the paper view that gets us to the paper view Also with the brands but officially happening tomorrow I don't see you having any major revelations because What about the Randy or anything that's going to have But he's going to be on the highlight real There isn't a match It's just he's going to be on this It's just the gift of Jericho Drunk it in Drunk it in man I love this You know what this is This is going to be the capital punishment of 2016 I don't I don't know that a paper view will ever be that bad But I think this is as close as we're going to capital punishment is the worst paper view Yes, he was that was our truth That's all you need to know It says it all Next next paper views summer slam The 21st 21st I'll be calling in from many brothers having it Okay, he takes flies Where are we tonight What do you mean?
