Special Edition WWE Elimination Chamber 2017

This is not the opening for Monday Night Raw, okay?
It is for a one on the west coast.
It is the 12th of February in the year.
In the year of our Lord, 2017.
But it is also a very important day in the history of this show,
and I may be the only one in the room that knows it.
It is season 7 episode 29, 300, and 79 times.
This voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast.
We are live.
If you are listening on you stream, but we are happy no matter where you are.
Whether you are live with us, whether you are listening on our archive,
or whether you subscribe on your favorite podcast,
and we are just happy you are here.
My name is Rob, and I'm already worn out.
It is.
It is time for y'all to shut up so I can talk for a minute.
It is a elimination chamber day, which means we are wrestling intensive
for the second show in a row.
We hope you guys enjoyed last Sunday, enjoyed the big game.
We had a small gathering of fans over here, and we had a great time.
We really, really did.
I know I got a place to plug in, and I can't find the adapter.
But let me go ahead and introduce you to the players in the room.
To my left is my co-host.
And a man who is in season, but I don't really think about it.
He's wearing a basketball jersey.
He is chat.
Welcome, sir.
Nice to be here as usual.
To his left is we move clockwise around the room as the official fact checker of this show,
and a man that will put the nickel that I owe him on my tab.
Because we made a bet last a lot last week during the halftime show,
and it turns out he was correct.
You may know him as Fondongo, but as my name is Don Ford,
I'm going to call him Don Ford.
Welcome, sir.
It's a clubhouse.
Are you a chicken?
What was that?
Fuck.
To his left.
Is a man who is now the DJ ran of this entire show.
And he wants to know that he's all up in your area.
He is LA.
Welcome, sir.
Yo, yo, yo.
What's going on?
Party people.
It's a DJ from the lab.
It's DJs from all the DJs around the world.
And the lovely in town to the business orphan is asking that you cease and
to assist that as she is trying to do something in the other end of the house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Leave it alone because you're freaking my cats out.
Okay.
To his left.
Oh, gladly I'll take it.
It's a man that's got a little bit of an announcement to make
amending the last time he was here.
He is Steven Zimmerman, sir.
Welcome.
I can't hear you.
I'm stripped.
I think no.
But you have to announce what to make that amends the announcement to you.
I'm sorry.
I apologize for all that.
But this is a good news.
Bad news situation.
Sorry.
Bad news.
I can't be a heal.
Not anymore.
Just for this particular event.
It's coming up on March the 4th.
The Collinsville.
Illinois.
Pokemon originals tournament coming up March 3rd.
I have been removed from the broadcasting team for the simple fact that I am in
the competitive field.
So the bad news is he will not be on commentary.
But the good news is he's in the tournament.
But no.
I can't hear what you guys are saying.
But I know that I can't be a heal announcer now.
But now you could just be it.
But now you could just be a heal.
Oh, that's good.
Do you just stand up and hit the guy with a chair if he starts to win?
And in front of the show, Jen Rome says two of her nephews are going to be at that event.
So make sure you find Steven when you're there and tell him who you are.
Yeah.
Thanks so much.
Because we.
Guys not even enough.
Okay.
So.
So I said that today.
I said that today is a very important day in the history of the show.
Because it was six years ago.
To the day on this day six years ago that we did our very first remote show for a WWE paper view,
which was a elimination chamber.
So it's six years to the day sir.
And as I put that came up on my memories feed today on Facebook.
And as I pointed out to you the other day, you wind it back another four years and we were
Limping back from Austin from our stunning defense.
We were.
We were.
He's a dog.
You and I tried out for the world series of pop culture.
So this is a crazy weekend in the history of this show.
USC.
What?
Oh, he wants to make sure that he rubs it in that I did that.
I didn't know that Johnny Utah went to Ohio state.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
So suck on that.
Wait.
The blood is gotten to water bar guys here.
Because this guy is drinking a spray.
All right.
So the last time we all got together was the rumble two weeks ago.
So let's get you some prediction updates.
Andrew was a did not appear.
And he did not send me predictions.
Although he sent them for this.
Stephen was two and six at the rumble.
L.A. and Doc both broke even at four and four.
Doc will be here a little bit later.
But he has sent me his picks as well.
Chad and I were five and three.
So we were above 500.
But again, Don right out of a gate seven and one at the rumble.
Good Lord.
So he's already jumped out to the lead.
But shading.
It's.
PD.
He's that guy who was leaking all.
He was.
All right.
So I was that undercover guy with ready to whatever.
So let's, but let's go around the room now because one of the things we'd like to do at the following paper view is talk about how we graded the paper view then versus how we feel now.
Chad, you gave the rumble a sea.
Where do you sit now?
Probably a sea minus.
All right.
It was just done.
You gave it a B plus.
Sea minus because Roman raises number 30.
Give me a break.
Okay. Fair enough.
LA, you gave it a sea plus.
I'll stick with that.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it lived up to your expectation.
I wouldn't say lived up.
I just think it just got there.
And let's see.
I got it in here somewhere.
Oh, you didn't grade it, Steven.
No.
I don't grade things.
You don't like having a assistant teacher to grade my papers.
Yeah.
I'm not just a kid.
But it was.
I mean, but you were there.
Yeah.
So I mean, can you talk a little bit?
Yeah.
We're probably running around on on pace.
Yeah.
I think I think the show was probably a sea plus.
And I really think the only thing that made that show.
And Dawn, please refrain, refrain yourself and throw in the chair.
But the scene that AJ match was the only thing that got done.
But you know what?
We know.
But let's talk about that for a minute because.
Yeah.
And Dawn fully admitted that at the paper view.
It was a clean finish.
It was a good match.
Which, you know.
And if you know, Dawn Mo enough.
He's willing to admit even as much as he loaves that man.
He fully admitted it at the paper view that that was a good match.
Again, it had a clean finish, which I don't think anybody really expected.
Uh, I gave the rumble with a minus.
I'm not going to downgrade it that much.
I'm going to sit it right around a solid B.
I thought it was a fun paper view.
I agree that Roman at 30 was kind of like climactic as soon as Romans music hit.
You saw people be lying to the aisles and leaving.
Wow.
Wow.
And that was even before the match.
That was just when he rolled out.
That was just when the music hit at 30 people were like, all right.
I'm doing this favor.
They all knew.
Orton was probably going to win.
Yeah.
No one wanted.
We were thinking.
Ballard Joe or something like that.
But people were like, I'm done.
I'm done.
It was very anticlimactic.
It was no well.
That's why.
Walk knocked it down.
Yeah.
Because there's no big one.
And Vegas got it right.
Randy one.
So there was that.
So what's getting to the week that was in our sport, if you follow me on social media, you probably
heard me scream like a little girl for the second year in a row, one of my favorites of all
time is going into the WWE Hall of Fame as it was announced on I would have heard you
at these headphones would play on Monday afternoon that's because I've heard you scream like a girl
even with the cow being.
That's true.
Ricky Morton and Robert Gibson.
The rock and roll express are going into the rock and roll Hall of Fame.
The rock and roll Hall of Fame.
It might as well be because they're that amazing.
Actually finished watching that yesterday.
They're going into the WWE Hall of Fame.
And I could not be more excited.
Robert Gibson was on.
That's always two podcasts going on.
It was on Austin's podcast on Tuesday.
First time I've listened to that show in about a month and a half.
And it was really, really good.
So I'm very, very excited.
Also being announced this week.
The ultimate warriors widow Dana has signed a deal with WWE to be a brand ambassador.
So I think that means that award's going to stick around for a while, which I'm very much on board with.
Let me get to the iPad.
It's actually in the studio.
I'm used to it.
Somebody's doing something because I can hear it.
Right here.
You see how he's talking about you, Chad?
Ouch.
Yeah.
I'm the rebel rouser in the room.
Okay.
So let's talk a little bit about raw this week.
I'm just going to go in a limb here.
Announcing Strowman at 385 might be a bit of a stretch.
Jojo announced him at 385 pounds.
Now granted.
He's like six, seven.
So he's got the height, but 385.
Even at that big, you would be almost the size of Frenchy.
Yeah, but he's close to Frenchy, but he's still smaller.
That's it about 366.
I mean, what's Frenchy coming in now?
450.
Frenchy's, I mean, Frenchy slimmed up.
He looks great.
I mean, you were there at the rumble.
Frenchy has four abs.
I mean, Frenchy was, he looks great.
So you guys see his IG page, like, yes, four abs.
And are we recycling straws, spory line of his own from a few months ago?
Like, we've got to create.
It's got to do something with him.
Just turn him into the brownie, uh, you know, the paper towel guy.
The brawny paper towel.
Yeah, he's brawny.
He's pulling the right wide of raw act.
I think.
This is just like a presence, but no title.
Did you guys see the Jericho signs in the crowd?
That were a parody of the Uncle Sam.
I want you, but it's Jericho pointing.
It says, I want you to shut up.
There was a couple of guys that had him.
So I don't know if it's a thing or.
I don't want to shut up idiots and stuff, too.
Yeah.
I am a little worried about what about Fastlane right now.
And let me tell you why.
Because here's what concerns me.
What's here?
Goldberg's going to win that title.
No, our truth is.
And then it's going to be him and Lesnar for that title at Russell,
and they're going to put that belt on Lesnar.
Boy, that'll be a great man event.
I'm just saying.
That's the feeling I'm getting right now.
And it scares me.
Yeah, it's going to break up the two best friends that anyone could.
You know, I just don't get it.
So does, I mean, it's common knowledge of my feelings about the first two matches.
So let's make that the main event at Russell, media.
Yeah, I'm just saying.
I like the way this is shaping up.
Because then what's going to happen is you're still going to have best friend versus
best friend for the US type.
Or does Lesnar beat Jericho for the US title?
And then here we go again.
I'm just saying.
Yeah, let's not say.
I don't want to say that.
And new, new day merchandise coming soon.
Oh, somebody's getting a big eye.
New day.
Did you notice the promo on Monday night?
I did.
So normally we would do a list on this show.
But since we never do them for special edition,
but I'm going to give you a couple of suggestions for the,
because you know, the new day is mentioning ice cream.
Somebody's playing something and then you just stop it.
It's driving me crazy.
What?
Is that coming from the other room?
Okay.
Yeah, turn it.
So I got some ideas for the new day's ice cream flavor.
All right, roll with me here.
New day Roxy Road.
Wheels off.
Tell me.
Chocolate.
Pineapple up upside down down cake.
Chocolate.
Owl start crunch.
Friends.
Friends.
Friends.
Francesca vanilla.
That's I was waiting for that one.
Um.
Tag team hip swirl.
Boo, booty clusters.
Ooh.
Ew, that sounds like something you got to check your underwear.
I think I just did.
And unicandy corn and rainbow sprinkles.
Those are the ideas that I've had.
Okay.
So.
Call me.
And if any of these happen.
Somebody's listening to the chef.
No, I'm blaming all of it.
And I just.
I know that air.
Austin areas has been cleared to return to the ring.
But a double needs his talk.
He needs his talk show.
Oh, yeah.
He's just so brilliant on the mic.
And he's so good as an interviewer.
He needs talk show.
I'm just saying.
One of those rare guys that actually knows he's that damn good.
And he is that.
And he backs it up.
Right.
And.
And.
And are there plates on the cruise.
Well, don't.
Chris cruise away.
But now.
Yeah.
On the side.
Okay.
So there.
There were WC.
You're whatever.
But no, but does.
It looked like.
It looked like Neville had his own plates on it.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That.
Yes.
Because he had.
He hasn't been the first.
Because I don't remember seeing rich swans.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Looks like there's some tension between TNA and ROH.
Probably a stemming over from some of the old Jeff Jarrett days.
And now that Jeff Jarrett's back in control.
Some of that tension may be resurfacing.
So about that party thing.
Is that.
It's still going to happen.
Because they're advertising it.
For was it marched the third.
Mm-hmm.
When they're doing that super card.
They can be the last swable to show up.
Oh, I'm in the comb to the land of Big Bond.
Big Bond.
Apparently.
I don't know.
Everybody seems to want his services lately.
Yeah.
He's been all over the local circuit too down here.
And apparently he's been doing some work at the Performance Center.
Just as a coach.
ROH wants him to replace Carino.
Hey, as well as he's not killing himself like he did in TNA.
Well, in TNA wants him back too.
Some rough news.
We do want to send our best to the Guerrero family.
As travel Guerrero senior passed away yesterday.
Oh, man.
Also some rough news.
The great Ivan Coloff, if you remember him.
Really?
Not passing away.
Not passing away.
For those of you that don't know who he is.
You remember Bruno Sam Artino.
He actually ended Bruno Sam Artino's run as WWE WF Heavyweight Champion after seven and a half years.
He ended that run.
He is battling liver cancer.
Oh, no.
So what I've been reading is it's one of those deals where they're trying everything
to make him but they're not sure they're going to be able to win this one.
So we are thoughts go out to Ivan Coloff's family as well.
And then we also had a celebrity death today.
The great Al Jero passing away.
That made me sad.
Two days after he retired from performing.
Right.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
If you're a fan of the uniting of the houses of Paige and Alberto Del Rio that is allegedly happening in May.
So that is a real thing.
This movie that.
And there.
Yes.
There is being a movie made about the history of her family and Duane.
I believe is producing it.
Page an interview.
Alberto Del Rio said she's targeted to return in either April or May.
So you got that going for you return where here to the WWE.
Really.
Okay.
See what I were talking about this in pre-show.
I have live.
Vince wants to tour it on its own and sell its own merch.
Why?
Um.
Maybe not yet.
But you know, but a double is cleared to return.
So.
A double can't run the whole so by itself.
Yeah.
Tell him that.
Well, I'm sure he could for a while.
And then he's subjected to 205 live anyway.
I think he's Chris Wright.
He's technically.
But he's been a past heavyweight champion.
Exactly.
We have talked about Cena.
Possibly taking some time off after WrestleMania or very, very soon.
His lady friend is going to be taking some time off after WrestleMania.
Nikki is still having some neck issues.
Apparently.
But the rumor is even after that.
She's going to be working a very limited schedule kind of like Bree is.
But they said like Bree.
I'm like Bree hasn't worked in forever because she's pregnant.
So I think Nikki needs to hang him up.
But did you guys hear?
I don't want to jump ahead of our schedule.
Are we going to talk about the WrestleMania match that they're supposed to be having
with the climatic ending?
Um, I don't know what's shocking about.
Okay.
We'll talk into the microphone.
We'll be great.
Oh, I.
There you go.
I'm like that.
He's today.
You've done a show before.
Yeah.
Okay.
Cena is going to be teaming up.
This is on the rumor, Mill.
He's teaming up with Nikki to go against the Miz and Maurice in a mix tag match.
I heard that.
Maybe.
To where?
In that match.
Which we all know will be Cena Nikki.
Double sword.
Cena is supposed to drop and bend the knee to propose.
Oh, I don't know.
Okay.
So he this makes no sense to me because the point of a proposal was it for it to be kind of a surprise
and you'd have to book that.
Right.
Stupid.
And this has something to do with the earnings for the WWE by the reality shows of total
thieves and total bills.
And it's on the do with that.
Yeah.
Boy.
Smackdown notes.
Police.
That netting.
That segment with Nadie and Nikki was horrible.
I don't even want it.
Oh, it was so bad.
I'm gouging my eyes.
Yeah.
I mean, it was just.
Smackdown.
Smackdown overall is losing steam at an exponential rate.
Who's going on?
What's going on?
It was a four or no.
Who wants it?
You know, I can't watch it.
I watch it tomorrow.
Speak tomorrow.
No.
I like to quote a poet, a historian and a great American named Kevin Hart in the 40 year old
Virgin.
When he looked at the salesman and said, you're using a lot of words.
I don't understand.
And I take that as disrespect.
I think he's making up words.
I really do because I am somewhat of a word Smith.
Grammar is my thing.
He's using words.
I don't know.
And I think he's making them up.
He's not.
You just need to brush up on yours.
I love doing he looked at the chronicles.
It's packed in here like a Starbucks.
Because they were shooting out.
Yeah.
The situation of the defecation.
That's what it reminds me of.
It just works out.
And then when they're.
I'm speaking of an answer.
Which is great.
When it comes by the way.
When will people.
When will people learn that stereo is an audio.
Is an audio term and not a visual term.
Why?
Well, it is.
You have a double suicide dive.
That was in stereo.
No, it wasn't.
No, it wasn't.
It just happened twice the same time.
There's more for you.
Oh.
And you know, I'm just going to say this right now.
You might want to get your stuff together because Jesus is coming.
Because the attention got a pinfall.
Yes, they do.
When was the last time that happened?
I hear you put money on them tonight.
What was the last time they were here yet?
I know.
I want to hear you.
Because the last time they were next.
I said that had to be the last pinfall they got.
I'm like, we did it.
Did the attention just win this man?
It's not a pinfall before they've taken plenty.
That's true.
That's fair.
That is fair.
I wasn't.
I was not specific in my question.
I apologize.
All right, gentlemen.
As we do when we do these pre-shows.
The next step that we're going to take after talking about the week that was in our sport
is we're going to run the card.
Reset.
Reset.
Before we do that.
There is a new member of the bullet club.
Aaron Rex.
No, we talked about it.
We talked about it.
We talked about it.
Don't do new new member.
That's not Cody.
Newer.
Spoiler.
It's three.
Don't say the one.
The addiction.
The addiction joined the bullet club.
Cast turned on Daniel.
Yeah, cast.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, is that going to happen during the finals of the.
Don't know.
Of the decade ago.
So let's tour in a minute because that finals is Daniel's versus one of the briskos.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's the new member of the bullet.
Interesting.
I was not aware of that.
I just saw some Twitter like yesterday.
Reset.
Yeah.
Do not remember.
You'll see.
The fur balls do not like what you were doing.
It's down here.
It's down here.
You'll see that TV in six weeks from that.
That's true.
Yeah.
What are they going to get that together?
I don't know.
Because didn't they do a TV table when they were here.
WrestleMania weekend, which never aired?
Well, they did something.
But it was just for DVD and stuff.
It was okay.
Because it was none of that footage ever aired on our ways.
Straight to VHS.
Straight to beta.
Straight to beta.
Straight to beta.
That's a fish.
Speaking of which, I did watch the new addition story over the weekend.
Finally, their first signing bonus was 500 bucks and a beta.
And a beta max.
Yeah.
I fell out of the chair laughing at that.
Dude.
All right.
Let's run the car, gentlemen.
And this is for the people.
You have to reset.
For those just Tony in.
Err.
Just.
Oh, have you seen.
By the way, have you seen this footage, Chad?
Of what they've done with Damian Sand Island T and I.
Oh, God.
That's who that was.
Yes.
You did.
So you seen the footage.
I didn't know that was him.
That Damian Sand Island.
You have to see it.
I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it.
I'm not seeing it.
Wow.
Thank you.
Like they.
He's plugging his eyebrows now.
He's doing a treat on his face.
They've turned him into Rico from back in the day.
He is Tyler Breeze.
No.
That's in social media.
That's fair.
That's fair.
What would happen to his face?
They get a facial.
There's not necessarily in any specific order.
This is just the order I find these matches for an importance.
The pre-show.
Yeah.
What the fuck?
It's a grown-out.
It's a grown-out.
I don't even know what's going on.
This is what we've introduced to you.
It's a gentleman.
All right.
The Lord.
Yeah.
In a grudge match.
Luke Harper versus Randy Orton.
Say it.
Chad.
I'll give it to Harper.
Okay.
Done.
I'm going to go Orton.
Okay.
Helped.
Double-disqualified.
Double-disinterest.
Steven.
I said you give it to Harper, so you can build something after it.
So when he's done with Orton, he could give you something.
Oh, it's the Andrew says Orton.
Everybody leave his mom's basement.
Doc says Orton.
Ah.
Just because I need the points.
I'm taking it.
Because normally I would just like say McDonald's.
But I need the points here.
I am going to agree with Steven.
I think Harper wins this.
Just because an Orton win does nothing for the story.
That's kind of what I'm thinking.
They've got to complete his face turn.
I think it's going to put the push on him towards.
Oh my god, another is coming up.
I've got a bunch of nannigans.
Gray's going to be involved, which means there's going to be a feud with SmackDown between
Look and Brey, I think.
I just.
And then Luke my costume, the title match and the elimination chamber.
Let's do something like that.
We have a two on one handicap match tonight.
Calisto and Apollo Cruz.
versus Dolph Ziegler. Let's see, Doc says, Dolph Andrew says, did he predict this one?
Oh, he says, Cruz and Calisto. Don. Who cares? Don, so I got to lead. I can do it.
Oh, I mean, this match is going to be a sleeper. I'm going to do Calisto because
they're going to keep that momentum of Dolph Ziegler being like frustrated and
stuff. Okay, LA. I want to say this is where Calisto and Cruz get their pay back, but
they're going to push this Dolph heel angle. So I think Dolph will adapt. See, I'm biased. I'll say Dolph.
And I'm a hip swivel. My attitude. I jab. Cruz and Calisto. I think that's the Cruz and
Calisto win, but it'll be a DQ because the Gler's going to walk out. I think he's going to be like,
I don't need this. I'm better than this. Dooses. As everybody continues to scream his name during the
entire match. You know, we have a couple of women's matches tonight. Actually, we have three.
Three out of seven matches are women's matches this evening. And by the way, that double contract
signing, that was turbo. That's the best I've seen her look. Yeah, they've done something with
her. Yeah, I'm so Becky Lynch versus a little too pro black on that one. Leave Sally's beauty
supply out of it. We're not talking about that. Becky Lynch, Mickey James LA. Let's go with
Becky. She needs a W on this one. All right, Steven. I'm taking Mickey James. I'm taking the early bird
special. Chad. Mickey. All right. Don. Becky Andrew says Mickey James. Doc says Becky. I'm going to say
it's going to be Mickey because I think we're priming Becky for a heel turn. What? I'm going
to make a prediction. We are priming Becky for a heel turn because she's been talking a lot lately
about wanting to work heel. And I think this will further that agenda. Allau Ziegler.
When I'm sorry, we have another non championship match in the women's division. Nikki Bella
versus Natalia. Steven. Nikki. Chad. Maddie. The field. Don. All right, LA. James.
See you. All right. Let's see. One need a scene. Andrew says Nikki Bella. Andrew also says
Nikki Bella. Andrew said, Nikki Bella twice. Both he and Doc. I apologize.
No, he was sitting there at the clubhouse. I think that I want Natalia to win this
just because I'd like to see Natalia get a win. I just don't think it's going to happen. So it's
going to be next. You're going to be Jane. Women's championship is not down online.
Alexa Bliss versus Naomi. Chad. Alexa. Don. I think Alexa and she hasn't got much push or anything.
I think they're going to try something to it Naomi. LA. They're not going to let Naomi get it. This
time is going to build up more heat. So Alexa will have shenanigans as a W. Steven. I'm torn because
it's black history month. I feel like I don't say this answer. I look like I'm racist. And I have
looking at you. That's fine. I can't look at that. Good lights are on. I could see you in the
time. So I'll take Alexa Bliss. You know what? Let's see. Andrew says, Mickey. I'm sorry.
Who's he saying? I gotta read this. Alexa Bliss. Doc says Alexa Bliss. I'm going the other way.
I think there are Mickey Jane shenanigans that backfire. And Naomi wins this match.
I agree with you. Smackdown tag team championships on the line in a turmoil match.
American Alpha versus the Ascension versus Breezongo versus you know what? It's the entire Smackdown
tag team division. Done.
Go through one more time. I'm sorry. American Alpha, the Ascension, Breezongo, the new soes,
beauty in the man beast and the Vaude villains. The new soes. All right. LA. The cool new soes. Those guys
are right. All right. Steven. Just because I don't care. I'm going to put the fashion police.
I'm going with them. Chad, Alpha retains. Let's see. Doc says American Alpha
Andrew says American Alpha. I'm going out on the limb again.
And if it doesn't happen tonight, if it doesn't happen tonight, I have never picking them again
in the history of ever. I'm going with the Ascension. I'm going with the Ascension. I want to do this.
No, I didn't do it today. I'm starting to think I should have. But you know what? They got the
pinfo on Smackdown. They're on a roll. Yeah, that means they won't win. I'm worried about the
way we're booking American Alpha. There are one straight. And I made another prediction that I said
Steven and Breezongo before you guys got here. Angles going to manage them. Angle will manage
American Alpha. Why not? It won't happen. It worked for Benjamin and House. World's greatest
tag team, sir. Indeed. We're at the originally team Angle and then they became the world's greatest
tag team. Self-proclaimed world's greatest tag team. I missed the days of them saying
word self-proclaimed. All right. And in what's supposed to be the main event, it is the elimination
chamber. It is one of my favorite gimmick matches. For those of you that have are watching for the first
time. Welcome back from the cave. The way this works is there are one, two, three, four, five,
six guys in this match. It is over a mile of unforgiving steel chains and a big cage. There are
four places where guys stand in these little pods. Match starts out with two guys and at random intervals,
one by one, the guys will be let out of their pods to compete. It is pinfoller submission,
elimination style. Here are your participants. For the WWE Championship, hang on line.
One, Shayna. AJ Styles. Baron Corbin. Bray Wyatt. The Miz. And Dean Ambrose. LA.
Seeing his drop in this title tonight. Good. And now going to drop it. Two.
Ray. That would be a coup. Steven. I really want to entertain and I don't know what I'm saying
that, but Bray Wyatt will help. Chad, I think, seen it retains. Don. Since he's going to go buy
and is going to set up the Orton Bray. It's going to be. Yeah. Bray Wyatt is your Vegas on
on favorite right now. I mean, it's just so predictable. It's going to be Orton versus Bray. Yeah.
Everyone around. Let's see Andrew says, Bray Wyatt. Dox says, Sina retains.
What's doc. You know, it's not going to be Miz. It's not going to be Ambrose. I also agree that
Sina does not retain. I don't see them putting the belt back on styles this quickly.
Thank you. I wish they did. Baron Corbin's a long shot. Of course. But I the Wyatt thing
makes sense to me. But again, we are talking about what gentlemen. Resting logic. Some of
the reasons. I love the echo. That was awesome. My gut tells me Bray wins and part of it's
because now it's in my head because he's the Vegas odds on favorite and we all didn't understand
why Randy was the odds on favorite for the rumble and he won. So I'm going to pick Bray. It's just
it's a weird pick. He's never held a belt. But that means he's going to carry this thing for
seven weeks. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. He is like a poor man's version of Raven. I wish
he would be able to re-bounce with Sina with Bray to get them with it and all of that. All right.
So that's the card. The last thing we're going to do before we sign off. As the card stands right now.
Chad. Great. The card D. Woo. You very very very low expectations for this. It's just underwhelming.
I looked over the card four or five times going. God, nothing about this is. He threatened to leave
four times doing not. Don. Some of his matches are just going to be sleepers. I'm going to be like
Chad say D plus. I'll give it a little bit more. All right. All right. I'm going to go with C minus
because I think they're going to pull something out of this to make it entertaining. Okay. Steven.
I'm going to punish myself. There's a reason this is not a visual medium.
Say capital punishment. F is for friends who do stuff together. You and me.
If you've ever listened to one of these shows that we do, I tend to be the eternal optimist. I tend to be the
guy that sees that fights through all this crap. It still sees the silver lining.
It's not a black joke. No. He looked at LA when he said that. We're back lining.
Again, please send all hate mail to LA runs Dallas on every day.
Darn at the club house. All right. He loves a read it.
But I'm going to go see minus here. It's going to be below average for me. I again, I love the
elimination chamber. Some great things have happened in the elimination chamber.
But one one bulletproof glass. One match does not a paper view make. This will be a paper view
that will be as much as I love everybody involved. This is going to be one of those paper views
where the weakness of the brand separation is going to be visible.
Too much too many. Absolutely. And I hate to say it. But SmackDown is obsolete.
Delete. Delete. Delete. This is my life. You know how to make the show better.
Okay. Well, deleting it would be great. But you know, you can insert a man into the chamber
and make this paper view glorious. Oh, okay. So I want you to think about that statement for a minute.
I want you to consider the following shot. If you do that, you put him on the SmackDown roster.
That's fun. That would immediately bring it up. You're current NXT champion.
I want to finish tantalizing the NXT. I'm telling you that bit he had on NXT this week was
greatness. That really was fun. I think us. All right. Anything else before we do the
plug, Jim? Put a bullet in this thing. I now know how my wife feels when you and I start talking
about stuff where she just has the opinion of just let him go. They'll tire themselves out eventually.
I know how that feels now. Do check your ratings. I guarantee that Ryan's show was off the chart.
It was through the ceiling fan and got chopped up in the main in the process. All right.
