Special Edition WWE Great Balls Of Fire

It is 7-0-1 of the East Coast, it is 4-1 of the West Coast.
It is the 9th of July in the year of our Lord, 2017, season 7, episode 53.
Sequentially, 400 in 3 times, this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast, live
every Sunday, 9-7 Eastern, 4 Pacific, your one-stop shop for all things pop culture.
What's tonight is another special edition, and it's a double special edition.
We're going to talk about why here in just a minute.
My name is Rob, I'm the executive producer of the clubhouse podcast, and yeah, I'm old.
I'm falling apart, but we're going to get it all fixed sooner or later.
I did get a wisdom tooth pulled this past week, so if I'm a little off, that's why.
Let's go around the room.
Dawn, on assignment tonight, he is not with us, but we have what we need from him, Stephen is
actually at the American Airlines Center tonight.
We're going to talk about what's going on there here in just a minute.
Two my left is we go around the room clockwise, is my co-host, and a man who has been hanging
out with his old man for a couple of days, he is Chad, welcome sir, always a pleasure, sir.
I was a good to have you here.
Two his left is the Lady of the House, and a woman who actually has her own notepad now,
that has the show's name on it, because she needs to keep up.
She is Jen Rome, welcome friend.
Good evening everyone, nice to be here with you.
Two her left is a man who apparently just got back from a three hour tour, I think.
He is LA, welcome sir.
He just did his undertaker hat removal.
Yo, yo, yo, put it people, LA runs Dallas is back to his left.
Is our official correspondent for all things, Ramstein?
I mean, what else would he be?
He's doc.
Hello, my leechons.
Let's go.
And to his left, we have the dynamic duo in his Greg, it is Russ, they are here, all right.
What their name or tag name be, Russ?
I was just about to know what you might be on to something there, sir.
And Greg, we're in a super city shirt tonight.
So, all right, so a couple of big things tonight is the very first
ever WWE great balls of fire.
We're going to be breaking that down for you because when we ever, there's a paper
view or what they call a paper views, not like paper, is anymore.
We will be breaking that down for you.
It is also the season finale of season seven.
So season eight kicks off, my, actually it's probably going to kick off this coming
Saturday, so be prepared for that, because we may have a special announcement coming
up later this week that we're not quite prepared to give you yet, but be by the channel
and be by our social media for that.
I know, we're wrapping up seven years tonight, I will neither confirm or deny that there
will be dancing bears, Billy Joel could stop by, you don't know, you don't know, that's
all I'm saying.
We can stop by.
We do have the new Brittany Palmer to talk about later because this will be the
we did.
We also did pass the the center fold that Don's been talking about all year.
So there's your special totally worth it to sell folks right now, it's a big, big
night.
Let's do some corrections and updates.
First of all, thank everybody that came out for Summer Band 44 weekend, Ragnarok
style out at free plan Arlington.
We had so much fun.
We want to thank everybody at free play Arlington.
Go to free play Arlington.com, check out what they've got going on.
It was actually kind of funny as I was going to church Sunday morning or actually we're
going to David and I were going to lunch and friend of the show Dave Scott said, one of
his favorite games of all time was Roston and I was like, dude, they have it.
He's like, shut up and we played it and it was awesome.
So there was a previously a supernatural spin off.
There was one.
I wasn't dreaming that it was called supernatural bloodlines.
It was supposed to happen two years ago and the CW didn't actually pick it up for
series.
So there was something there.
Also, I was actually going to take place in Chicago.
We should toggle branch of these supernaturals.
And the Deadly World Dail Hannah film we were trying to figure out was crazy people.
Yes.
They didn't know it.
Volvo.
It's boxy.
But they're good.
What about?
No.
Nothing.
So let's give you some point updates.
Let's see.
So I'm just giving it the order that's on the sheet because they don't have anything
we're worked out.
I went four and three at money in the bank.
There was a gimme because the Brisango match was not announced on the card.
So Chad, you got one point because you've got some of your pins that you got one for
Brisango.
Don went six and one.
Andrew went five and two.
Let's see.
Play.
You went two and five.
Steven went five and two and then Doc went three and four.
Did I get the Carmilla thing, right?
You did not.
You had Charlotte.
I changed the Charlotte.
Yeah.
I had Tamina.
Doc had Becky Lynch.
I had Carmilla not back.
So see.
And rode it.
Harlan.
After that.
So let's give you total point updates right now.
The caboose of this thing right now is Doc.
Total 71 points possible.
He's at 34.
It's a 479 win percentage.
Let's see.
36 for Andrew.
He's at he's right at 539 for Chad.
He's at right at 55% win percentage.
LA at 40.
That's a 563 win percentage.
Steven at 41.
577.
I'm at 42 at 592.
And Doc is just pulling away from the pack with 55.
He's 13 up on me.
We'll see.
We're hoping something's got to catch him.
That's all I'm saying.
So I don't have the grades from the previous paper view here because this last week has been
insane and I left him at work.
Chad, how do you rate money in the bank now?
I didn't watch it.
You didn't get chance, wasn't it?
Okay.
That'll be an incomplete.
Jen, how about you?
Yeah, kind of have to fail the whole thing because I'm female and I really didn't
for how they played that out.
Fair enough.
Steven said it wound up as a D-minus for him.
He considered the person that won it Jack Swagger 2.0.
So LA.
Yeah, this is the first money in the bank.
I think was a late abject bail year.
Dive.
Oh, Doc.
C-minus for male interference during the first women's money in the bank match.
And in the second women's money pay match as well.
It was just the cluster, you know what I mean.
When is that meeting women?
Don't you expect male interference?
Not from that one.
Gentlemen.
I gave it an F for funk.
All right, fair enough.
I was so disappointed in that women's money in the bank match.
And then you're going to redo the match and you're going to book it the same exact way,
which I thought was weird.
I had to give it to her though.
You can't.
I just.
That's what we're doing for a long time.
That's what we're doing in the bank.
But he's been in him too.
Yeah, 30 days.
30 days.
Allegedly.
And if he shows back up, then Carmella gets stripped of the briefcase.
That's the storyline now.
So what on day 29, they're going to have him show up.
I mean, it's being said here.
So it'll probably happen because somebody's.
Give me the book in the checkbook for you.
I was losing.
I was losing.
I was waiting to wedge that in there at some point.
I'm so proud of me.
All right.
So really the only headline I want to talk about from this past week.
Really it came down Friday.
Really Steven texted me.
And it shocked me.
Austin Aries has been let go from the company.
We're having discussion in pre-show.
Apparently he wanted to be here or be gone.
Yes.
Really, I think Doc Scott the best concept.
He's going to have to go to Japan because as you know,
as a result of slam a versery last week,
TNA is no more.
The show will still be called impact wrestling.
But the company is now global force.
He officially requested it and stated that he had more to give.
This is a quote.
More to give this company than to be a cruise away on 205.
Didn't you know what?
Don't don't get injured.
Yeah.
Stay healthy.
Pretty much.
Because the guy's got all the town in the world.
They snatched about three of his classic moves because he was getting injured from it.
I mean, Japan really is, I mean, apparently he still got burped bridges to repair with ROH.
Yes, he does.
Yeah.
The only way I see him going to global force is if they find somebody to cut him,
a check by maybe selling some plasma.
Oh, geez.
But why go there when they are big deal is going to be Alberto.
That's, you can see.
And boy, he's running his mouth.
They are solely committed to him too.
He is running his mouth.
Yes.
So you do realize you're on, I mean, that's not even the B show.
You're unlike the Q show.
You're not that scared.
He's basically Jared 2.0.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
It's keto.
Oh, geez.
There he is.
There's a first one.
All right.
So let's go.
I'm sorry.
One more headline.
I want to get to that I read today.
Give me just one second to get into my emails about the May young classic.
It's going to ear next month.
So they're taping it.
I think next weekend, but they're not hearing it until next month.
Is that just a trophy singles competition?
It kind of like the cruiser way classic.
Oh.
Medusa is going to be involved.
Yes.
She won't be part of the field.
She's helping out with the tournament itself.
Okay.
So she's taking up right from her monster truck.
She's retired from that.
Oh, she is.
She retired from that last year.
So let's talk about raw.
All right.
A opinion poll in the room.
Worst promo skills.
I submit for your approval.
Big cast.
Or Braun Strowman.
Because both of their promo Monday night were horrific.
And I like both of these guys.
Like strawman.
Strowman.
I don't know if it's the character that's holding him back.
Because he's very, very eloquent.
I heard him on Austin's podcast and it was a great interview.
So I don't know if they're not flushing out the character properly.
But both of those promos were just torture to get through.
He.
I think Strowman needs to take a page from Roman.
Because if you know this Roman initially,
just had a few choice words until he got his niche.
And I think that's how Roman was doing.
It was like, I'm not doing with you yet.
Or yeah, I want competition.
And kind of the same career path came in this part of a group now on his own.
And that was and Roman kind of had to find his own way.
And that's fine.
I think that it they felt the door was finally open for the promo.
Since he's so over.
But I think that promo mail.
Is he over or is he just a favorite overrains?
That's my thing.
I don't know that Braun Strowman is actually over.
I think he's just over because people don't like Roman,
which doesn't make any sense to me.
Because again, this is a guy that's only doing
what the company asks him to do.
It's not like he's pulling strings backstage
to get what he's given.
But John Strowman already ruined that for everybody,
which they're taking it out on Roman.
Because that whole Steve Austin,
I can beat up everybody days or older.
Yeah.
Because Austin was essentially a heal.
How many times have we even tried to rehash
that Austin McMahon dynamic?
And we can't do it.
Because all people will go,
this is just a rehash of Austin McMahon.
Right.
It was, but Austin went so over.
Yeah.
So fast.
So it was like, that's,
Well, that was, but that also ushered in the time
really of the tweener.
Yeah.
Like Austin was the first true honest to God,
tweener.
Because he beat up heals and he beat up faces
and it didn't really matter.
And he got cheered either way.
Because he was the guy that everybody lived
I curiously through.
He was a tweener with the bread hard deal.
And then he finally,
he was the first guy to open up like,
hey, bread hards whining.
And this is the face that you guys want to cheer for.
And then the audience was like,
wait a minute.
He's right.
Run the gun point.
All right.
So just to recap.
Because the only reason I,
somebody, you're at the door, please.
Sometimes at the door.
The only reason I recap this way
was because it was so blaringly annoying
to me on Monday night.
The first hour of RAW.
Two promo segments, two matches.
That was the entire first hour of RAW.
It's the season for now.
It's the view dissected RAW.
You did.
I did first.
This is also the first time in a long time.
I watched RAW on Monday night.
And I watched SmackDown on Tuesday night.
Wow.
I can't think of the, I can't think of the last time
I was actually able to do that.
Right.
Right.
I wasn't watching them both on Saturday afternoon
because I knew the show was on Sunday.
Right.
I have a new promo person who I, right now this person
can do no wrong whenever they cut a promo
and his name is Dean Ambrose.
When he was on commentary,
he actually used the phrase,
Heath Slater is on a pilgrimage.
I was like, what is going on here?
Dean is Dean, man.
And from what I'm told,
like that's who he is.
He lives in his car.
He's married to Renee Young.
And they just do whatever.
Or is he married to
Renee Young?
No, I don't see that.
That was brilliant.
That was brilliant.
Yeah.
Shout out if you saw it.
SmackDown Tuesday night.
Tyler Breeze was dressed as a woman
who was interviewing Ty Dillinger.
And she called him Tyler.
He's like, no, my name is
Tene Young.
God.
I don't know.
And it gets better.
Yes, it does.
Because the segment ends.
Cut to an interview segment that
Renee Young is hosting.
The look on her face is nothing short of
priceless.
Or she's just looking at the camera.
Did I dream that?
Did that just actually happen?
And another thing, speaking of dreams.
Did you notice that you just mentioned somebody who
I thought was on the back of a milk carton.
Ty Dillinger.
How do you get buried on SmackDown?
How does that work?
How do you get buried after such a big pop?
And then when a mojo rollie
doesn't get buried on SmackDown.
When the rev counts you out for a
chatting time.
Imagine you're not even involved in.
Exactly.
Insanity.
And I will say.
Brock Lesnar spoke more in that one segment than he's
talked in the last five years.
And I will say this.
He's getting better.
Yeah.
His promo skills are actually getting better.
Although his promo on Monday night
seemed a little.
UFC for me.
But that's him.
But he did it.
Yeah.
You know, Roman built it a day.
Yeah.
So I'll take it.
That's why they gave him Hayman because Hayman
could be the mouthpiece.
Right.
But now he's really starting to come into his own
a little bit.
And I was impressed with him on the night.
I don't know.
I still don't want to see him on my TV every week.
But there is that.
And he would like Brock just
Brock.
I don't think you'd like that.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
Joe.
No.
No.
Hey.
Stay with me.
Because you know I love Joe.
I love Joe.
I'm a big fan of Joe.
Always have been.
But when you're running all over the back
stage area and you're screaming
Lesnar where are you?
And you get stopped by.
Whoever was a stopped in was an angle.
It's like I want Lesnar.
Where's Lesnar?
And he turns around.
And there's a door with his name on it.
Right behind him.
Hey.
Maybe he could ever.
Someone was supposed to show you the door yet.
All right.
I was just like.
We all know that this is wrestling.
Logic.
I know.
I know.
But I was just like seriously dude.
That one.
That one kind of hurt.
Hey.
Joe's doing it.
He's doing it.
That's true.
And God bless him for selling it.
They are earning those paycheck.
But at some point you had to go.
Did we block this properly?
Could we?
Should we maybe stop him somewhere else?
We're going to say no Joe.
His dressing room is over there.
No.
I'm playing the stage director.
Okay.
He was supposed to let the cameraman know nothing.
No panning.
I mean, it's like Shakespeare in the park.
But this is a trailer park.
Yeah.
Shakespeare in the trailer park.
Ladies and gentlemen.
The witness of John Houser.
There he is.
All right.
Come on.
SmackDown notes.
I'm going to say something right now.
And L.A. you're not going to like it.
But I had this thought in the opening segment of SmackDown Tuesday night.
So we know scene is a free agent.
Right.
Yes.
What is the likelihood by the end of the year that they put both of those belts on him?
The universe and the WWE team.
No man.
Okay.
What's today's day?
Today is the way.
July night.
We're just over the halfway point of the year.
We're roughly had about central time here.
620.
If they do what you said.
I'm boycotting.
WWE until WrestleMania of this.
I just would he talked about being a free agent.
I'm telling you.
I don't have time for that.
I went.
Oh dear God.
They're going to put both of those belts on him.
No.
Have they done that before?
Have they done the both felt thing before?
Remember.
Well, you had a universal champion.
What did they call the undisputed championship when they unified the world belts in the WWE belt?
Because it's what Jericho talks about beating the rock and stone cold in the same night all the time.
That was the tournament that crowned the first undisputed champion.
And so you carry both belts.
I love that Smackdown belt that they had.
I call it the Lesnar belt because that's someone I was associated with.
I'm telling you.
I just got this really weird feeling.
And it's not going to be a unification match.
It's going to be.
I would love it for be a unification match for that belt.
And that belt has to be defended on both shows.
I'd be okay with that.
But.
Hear me now.
Listen to me tomorrow and believe me on New Year's Eve.
I've got this sinking feeling.
I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying I'm okay with it.
He's not going to be the way to do it.
I'm not saying I'm okay with it.
And granted you.
If if by me putting that out through to the universe it happens.
I will accept a blame because you know.
You know who's fault it is.
Don't just going to be John Cena's fault because you're going to have
with belts.
The new person's fault that is yours.
Okay.
And you know if it happens.
I will accept a blame because somebody is listening to this show.
But I'm telling you.
I'm telling you.
I've got this weird feeling.
No man.
I can't.
I'm telling you.
Right now.
I would like to say the following word that I learned from Charles Barkley.
Terrible.
Terrible.
When it comes to that quote unquote rap battle.
First of all while you should be ashamed of yourself for even being a part of that debacle.
Number two that wasn't a rap battle that was poetry slam.
Number three.
It was an absolute disaster.
But the only thing that really made me go.
Wow.
Was when the Usos talked about Xavier Woods being rated R.
I went.
It had to have been in the script because you saw the way Xavier didn't react to it.
And there's unless you are really deeply rooted in the IWC.
You don't know what that refers to.
But if you do, I was on my couch going to your god they went there.
Dear god they went there.
Wait a minute.
If you recall a promo that the new day did about four months ago.
Yes.
They already joked about it.
But I think at that point they could because it was so fresh to bring it up now in that kind of a form.
It got my attention.
It didn't get me wrong.
It was it was floating with the line.
That's all I'm saying.
Because like it's one of those.
We can joke about certain things.
But you can't joke about those things because that's our thing.
So it's like joking about Sylvester Salon's first movie.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I know where we're going with this.
But was the rap battle maybe even a throwout to the glow series that came out on Netflix.
Because they bring up the whole glow rap again.
No, because that's it's a moment to see.
That glow rap thing since in a category all by itself of.
See I just want to see.
Beautifully tragic.
I just want some love thrown to that.
I love glow.
So much fun with the series.
I still haven't watched it because I haven't.
And then I watched the documentary.
So.
Okay. Good. Good.
I got my education on.
All right.
So we've talked about the with you.
What's that?
I do as a former hip pop artist myself.
You're never a former.
What you're always.
Yeah, okay.
That's true.
Okay.
I don't necessarily think it was.
True.
It was true.
I think that.
I think that it could have been better but.
Some of the punchlines.
We're very key.
If you are into.
Paying attention.
Oh no.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean some of it was was pretty clever.
I mean because Biggie started it with the dark match thing.
It was about Biggie's chest.
So, you know, that was caught there.
The one thing I did like was how they were like.
You got here for carrying Romans back.
I'm like, they've been coming.
Somebody twice.
Why are you roaming?
The analogy to the world.
All right.
It was awesome.
Oh, on point.
Because I was trying to see where he was going with it.
I was like.
Kofi sent him up so brilliantly.
The last thing he says better be on point.
And then when he said carrying the bags for.
He just held it.
That's it.
Oh my God.
That was great.
I mean, and I really believe in my heart of hearts that this the five of them sat down and said,
Okay, here's what we're going to do.
This is what you're going to do.
This is what we're going to do.
So because nothing really looks like it got to them either way.
So I think that, you know, I believe that they all cleared everything with each other.
But some of it just got a little weird for me.
I think that was what they meant to do because both of them have so much creative control.
Yeah.
They're brand and gimmick.
They want ish.
Right.
So I've got to believe that that the two of those groups are actually pretty tight.
So since this is like the season finale, I can say this phrase.
So there's that kind of like the in word on a certain level.
I don't know that I fully commit to that, but on a certain level.
Okay.
See how the season finale thought I can throw that.
I'm afraid to say this, but Doc has his hand.
I have a question.
So LA, I did not know about your rap.
The thing.
So I've got a question where you like a fresh prince kind of a dude or a DMX kind of a dude.
When you're rap stuff.
That's the only range I have.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I think that's the range to work from.
Right.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, those are the ranges.
Just blend me up on both of them because I'm neither one of those.
Are you in the middle?
Did you need a PMRC sticker?
I think is what he really is.
Can you be on TV or could you?
You know, you can't.
I can be on TV.
Okay.
That's okay.
There we go.
Alright, you guys.
Let's run the card.
There are eight matches total on this card.
So at least we have a decent list to choose from.
And the season finale show is a homage to Texas since we're a Texas based.
Yeah.
We're right down the street is where the paper view is.
Like I said, Steven's actually at the arena.
He's there tonight.
He's going to give us a live report.
Okay.
So now why we don't have the pre show on in the studio.
So this has already happened.
We don't know.
So we can pick these pretty much as easily as we can.
We start with the pretty match.
Cruiserweight title on the line.
I have to be very quiet because my wife's in the conference call in the other room.
Uh, never versus a Kira Tazawa.
Alright.
Uh, Steven says,
Neville.
Dawn is saying.
Uh, a Kira Tazawa to build the Titus brand
as an agent in having a champ helps Chad.
Neville.
Alright, Jen.
Neville.
LA.
I think it's time to move the bill.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'll give it to Tazawa tonight.
Doc.
Alright.
LA went with that one.
So I'm going with Neville.
Whoa.
That's not a face.
Are you serious?
Are you serious?
Speaking of face.
See, now he's just picking against you.
Look at this.
Look at this.
It looks like he's about to sneeze.
Alright.
The dumbest run ever seen.
So, wow.
So, wow.
So, wow.
Alright.
Greg.
Sing this for us.
I just, I don't see this bill moving tonight.
Especially to him.
I think this, this Titus brand thing is,
is, is tongue and cheek as it could possibly be.
And that's why I think that Neville retains me.
When else would you move it?
I mean, not to this guy's too low level.
Then we have the marquee grudge matchup that is Enzo versus Big Cass.
Stephen says Big Cass.
Don says Cass wins because they have to build him his heel turn.
Jen.
Cass.
LA.
Yeah.
This was a tricky one.
Okay.
Let's go with Enzo by some flookie way.
Okay.
Doc.
Dang.
I was going to go for Enzo.
Oh, it's gonna stick with Enzo.
Oh, wow.
I'll stick with Enzo.
Gross.
I'll go with Enzo for the win.
Greg.
Enzo.
Chad.
Gross.
Cass.
I am going to say Cass because
what's their next paper view?
Where is Summerslam?
In Jersey.
Brooklyn.
Do your Lord.
That's where Enzo gets the win.
Okay.
That's why I'm saying Cass.
All right.
Seth Rollins versus Bray Wyatt.
Because why not.
LA.
Oh, by the way.
Stephen says.
I don't know if he has this.
No.
I'm trying to find.
Because he's got mad.
He's got batches picked.
I don't even have a card.
So I'm a little confused.
He didn't have our truth on one of these.
Our truth in Finn Baller.
He has on this thing.
He must.
Unless he knows something.
We don't.
But I.
He has.
I don't think he has this match picked.
Because I forgot in about it.
So.
Don.
I don't have it on his list.
It's a good dance list.
Don.
Well, it says Rollins wins because he's getting a bigger push.
LA.
Is Bray going to really take another.
Well, just because he's Bray.
Again.
I don't know.
Because I don't know what you do with this.
I'm giving this to Bray.
I got it.
He got a gift.
Doc.
I just saw a commercial where Seth Rollins is on the cover of the video game.
Two games.
That's a great trailer.
I'm going to go with Rollins.
That's it.
That's that was my logic.
Okay.
Rollins.
This is Brian.
I'm Brian for Wyatt.
All right.
Seth Rollins.
Jack.
Rollins.
I'm with LA.
I just don't know if a.
I'm sorry.
I'm going to go ahead.
You're behind my monitor.
I can see.
I'm going to.
I agree with LA.
I think it's going to be Bray because I don't know that Bray needs to take another
L.
But the only problem with that is that character is it such a crossroads that I don't know
that it's kind of like shinsky.
They don't know how to book him right now.
And this is what I've said this for months.
And you can go back and the tape is out there.
I've said for months that if shinsky goes to the main roster, they're not going to know how to book him.
And I think Bray's at that same point.
And I don't know why NXT doesn't seem to translate as well as in my opinion it should.
Shinsky basically took Dolph's place into obscurity.
That's all.
All right.
So in an ambulance match.
And for those of you that are uneducated and ambulance match, you have to incapacitate
your opponent long enough to throw them into an ambulance and shut the door.
What a match.
Roman Reigns.
Braun Strowman.
Steven says Strowman.
I believe Don Pit Roman.
Don says Roman wins.
Since he got his butt kicked on the last two rods he will win.
Oh, good.
That's exactly what it says.
Doc.
Braun.
Oh, look at the song.
Flip the ambulance.
He tells you.
You'll turn on you.
Literally.
So this is the season for now.
He's pulling crazy Ivan on you.
Can you see that coming?
All right.
Rust.
Strowman.
Strowman.
Strowman.
Strowman.
Jen.
Reigns.
Doc.
Or L.A.
Reigns.
I'm going to say Strowman just because this match literally means nothing.
Like there's nothing to gain or lose by this match for anybody involved.
It builds the Reigns.
Lesnar angle for Somerslane.
I'm done with you.
You know what?
Braun.
I'm going to move ahead.
That's a compelling argument.
But I'm doing a personal title.
That's a compelling argument.
That is a compelling argument.
But I'm sticking with my pick just because I'm stubborn today.
Intercontinental championship on the line.
The Miz versus Dean Ambrose because we've never seen that before.
Stephen says the Miz.
Don says Miz retains with his new Goon squad.
They will not drop possible shenanigans.
I believe Russ were up to you.
Russ.
The Miz.
Alright.
Dean Ambrose.
What?
Separation.
They broke up already.
Chat.
The Miz more than Michael.
Jen.
The Miz.
And I think I read the same information that Don did about Shenanigans being a foot.
L.A.
Chat was an actually an answer.
The Miz more than Michael.
It's greater than 50%.
So he has to go with it.
So Miz Ambrose takes 64 as we're at.
I believe that's the.
Maybe the over under.
Yeah.
Let's go with the Miz fits and Miz to ride.
Alright.
I'll go.
I'm going with Ambrose.
No.
Not hear me out.
But it's going to probably because of this qualification.
So he won't get the belt.
It won't get the belt.
But it'll be.
You know what?
Doc makes a compelling argument.
And I'm going with that.
It will be.
It will be Ambrose by disqualification.
What?
One of the members of the Miz to ride.
We'll get thrown out.
And the distraction will be the other one.
The distraction which will call the disqualification.
I just witnessed L.A. agree with something.
Doc said I'm in shock.
It's the season finale.
What are you going with?
Dogs and cats living together.
So do I have to specify my papers I was going with?
Who was walking with the type?
No.
Who wins the match?
Who wins the match?
Who wins the match?
Who wins the match?
Me is going with the match.
Okay.
So tag team championship match in a 30 minute Iron Man match.
So what?
One sixth of the paper will be killed by one match.
So Zaro and Sheamus versus the Hardies.
Greg.
I'm going with Sheamus.
Steven says Hardies.
Don says Zaro and Sheamus retain.
They just won it from the Hardies.
Why give it back?
Yeah.
Chat.
I agree with Don.
Jen.
This is our on Sheamus.
L.A.
Agreed.
Doc.
Hardies of course.
Okay.
So Zaro and Sheamus, but I think Hardie Boy.
This is the Hardie Boy's last match.
That's a full prediction.
They just got into the company.
Greg, who's last match in the company or last match as a team?
Or what do you say?
As a team.
Wow.
Okay.
There is a rumored single single.
To time out in the friendship.
In the proof.
In house party.
I think Nancy Drew makes an appearance in separate.
So I think it's a sign.
Leading shows up.
It's a detective.
It's a detective.
It's a detective.
I do.
I do.
I do.
Oh, they could just.
They'll just gain beat up in Cycle PDF.
So Zaro and Sheamus are going to win this.
But the way they're going to win it.
It's going to be another one of those shenanigans matches where.
The Hardies have a chance to tie it up.
Or they do tie it up.
But they're one second short on the three count.
It's going to be one of those.
There's going to be shenanigans involved here.
And it may go to extra time.
I'm not going to give myself extra points if it does.
But I will say there is potential for it.
It'll be one of those five more minutes.
Five more minutes kind of thanks.
Because we haven't done that since wrestling in 2012.
Let's see.
Raw women's championship allegedly on the line.
Wikipedia did not have this match.
But that doesn't mean it's not going to happen.
Jen said she saw it on a list.
So I'm going to roll with it.
Alexa Bliss versus Sasha Banks.
Chad, I think we're back around to you.
Steven says Alexa Bliss.
Don says Alexa Bliss.
She just got it too early to drop.
Again, I agree with Don.
Alexa Bliss retained.
Jen, miracles are part of it.
I got to go with Bliss because, you know, it's bliss.
LA.
I'm going with Bliss because Sasha's had her number for the last couple meeting.
So it's fair.
Doc.
All right.
Even though LA and I are going to agree.
I'm going to agree.
All right.
You agree?
I have laid it on the line.
My feelings for Bliss.
Many, many.
You do love to see someone watch the list.
Regardless.
She went.
He's biased.
I'm blessed.
I'm banking on Sasha.
All right.
Greg.
Oh, what's this?
That's an eye play on what you're banking on.
All right.
Stay with me on this.
Why?
Just this, just this, just in.
You're coming.
Okay.
Alexa wins.
And the thing that we thought was coming for four months goes the other way.
Bailey turns heel.
Yes.
Because that's coming.
It's not a let.
It's not Sasha that goes heel.
It's Bailey.
Because that's the thing you don't expect to happen.
And they just did a press thing this week.
I think it was with Bailey where there was some fan and
line that saw her tweet.
I mean, there was this whole thing about it.
It's all about the fans and out.
She was saying.
Bailey's just so wonderful.
Bailey's going to hit the heel turn.
Because right now, that's what she needs.
But what?
She's kind of wearing me out.
It's going to be one of those.
You all are going to love me no matter what I do.
She's going to come out that way.
And people are going to be booing.
She's going to start charging for hugs.
That's what's going to happen.
She's going to be booing.
Yeah.
Is he going to do the Cody Road?
Yeah.
You know what?
If she goes heel.
If she goes heel, does she get a better make of artist?
I would hope so.
And we still want to say congratulations for Cody Rhodes.
You're R.O.H. champion.
He.
I don't know.
I don't want to say that creative is holding him back.
But right now, he's doing some of his best work I've ever seen.
Dude, like, has he only been gone a year?
Barely.
Yeah.
And he already has a major title.
Yeah.
And a good size company.
Right.
Like he is carrying the load for a company that's perfect for him.
And I'm sorry, Cody.
I loved Stardust.
I'm sorry, bro.
I did too.
Stardust was awesome.
I just think they should have used it more.
But Stardust was awesome to me.
Even when they paired him up with the ascension.
That was only the ascension was going to live.
And when he lived, there was no bigger cry babies than the ascension because he had lived.
You know, well, when you're saying something about Stardust, your mind's made of everybody.
I'm going to do that character on the Nintendo Pro Wrestling, the one with the.
The star in the middle.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that.
God.
All right.
And universal championship on the line.
I can't yell.
I can't.
I'm just doing it.
Brock Lesnar.
Samoa Joe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I believe you have the honors.
Oh, by the way, Steven says Joe.
And yes, he's passed TNA bias.
Doc says Lesnar as we all know he will lose it at Mania with only two title defenses between.
No.
Well played, sir.
I think it'll be Samoa Joe.
All right.
LA.
We all know it's Roman Brock at some reslam.
So let's not play with it.
My buddy Joe's not going to get it this time.
This time.
This time.
Doc.
This time.
In a show of unity, I must go with Brock.
All right.
Russ.
I want to say Brock wins.
And then he goes away for a while.
Well, it's almost like Greg.
I want to say Joe.
But I'm going to go with Brock.
Your heart says Joe, but your head says Lesnar.
Yeah.
So you're saying you're saying Lesnar?
Yeah.
Same thing, Lesnar.
I can't argue with the Joe losing because of Lesnar.
Rains at Summerslam.
The only thing that gives me pause.
And I'm staying with Lesnar.
Let me just say that I'm saying Lesnar.
Is it cause to pause?
We always cause for the pause.
I'll pause for the cause.
There you go.
You'll get it right here in a minute.
Do not put it past creative to make Summerslam a three way dance.
And we heard it here first.
I'm just saying I just.
Things are so wheels off in the company right now that I can't.
I think they do that anyway.
I think they would do it even with Joe losing.
I think they would do it anyway because Joe would pull a brawn.
And I'm not done with you yet type of deal.
I just.
Are you saying a four corners match?
And you put on.
You put a strong one in this thing.
Yeah.
Well, she's doing.
He's not done with Roman.
Regardless of growing when a night.
The brawn is never done with Roman.
We are.
It's my head.
Yes.
It is a four way dance.
You heard it from me.
Four corners match.
Four way dance at Summerslam for the universe.
Screw the hook up on it.
Make it be a battle royal.
I like battle royals.
I'm okay.
It's already booked.
Alright.
Do a working.
We've said.
We've said.
The things.
We've said the things.
All the things that he did to say.
Okay.
So.
That's great.
The card.
Let me see.
I know Steven's got his.
I don't know if Don sent me his hold on.
I don't know.
He just has an n at the ball.
See you.
So I will be saying not applicable.
Steven is saying a B.
He says is good potential for in-ring work.
In fact, Tastic built story with Joe and Lesnar.
LA grade the card is at stance.
You know what?
The first time in a long time.
I'm going to give great balls of fire.
Well, not first time on time.
First time ever.
Because it's never existed.
I guess this year will be my first.
Okay.
Fair enough.
As well.
I'm going to give it to be minus.
All right.
I'm going to go with a minus.
Doc.
I'm going to give it a beat.
Because you got hardies and bliss.
So there we go.
It's automatically a beat.
They can only like ruin it.
I'm fair enough.
Like only ruin it.
Russ.
You have a.
I'll grade it a B plus.
Because we got chickens in the ball.
My ball.
He just got a phenomenal.
You got to give it a beat.
This is great.
All right.
Greg says B.
Chad.
It's a B minus on paper.
Jen.
B minus because it's going to have the best crowd.
Ah.
Dallas does always bring a strong crowd.
I don't know.
It's not a rest of many of Dallas thing.
That raw was on the chain.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know.
If we.
Because again, you know, they've had the.
Hilling the sales and stuff.
Ah.
We've.
We've got to survive.
We're probably looking for different things in the crowd.
LA and I.
I'm going to.
I think a B minus is.
I think a B minus is about right.
I think that this has got potential.
But I'm so scared to rate it any higher.
Got to be.
It's because.
I can't.
Because I don't trust creative.
It's just college for what it is.
We think you don't trust creative.
I failed us before.
Yes.
It is the inaugural.
Yeah.
W duck.
I can't believe I'm saying.
W W great balls of fire.
Like.
You know what.
Somehow somebody's planted.
And you know what.
You see.
You've seen the whole.
Like the theme with this.
How it's like a 50's in a driving.
Yeah.
The whole week I've been going.
They're going to bring back Doos and Domino for one night.
Aren't they?
God.
No.
What if they actually.
Somebody like little Richard.
Somebody actually started.
Why don't you have Jerry Lee Lewis.
They wrote a check with the great balls.
You remember when we saw SmackDown and Doos and Domino came out.
They took him forever to start the car.
Yeah.
Jerry can show up.
She's still around.
No Rob.
If it helps you.
If you get it.
I say it in German just because it translates to fear.
And so you can say WODB.
For instance.
For instance.
Peter Rond.
Which sounds a lot better.
It sounds like great balls of fear.
So just.
Peter Rond.
But it starts in 15 minutes.
Get on the network and watch it or find somebody who has it or whatever you need to do.
Let's just do the plugs that we can get out of here.
By the way, before we go.
It is our season finale.
And the tradition on this show when we do this season finale is we like to thank
everybody.
This is kind of a little bit on orthodox because it's on a paper view Sunday.
But we always talk about, you know, seven years ago.
First of all, it's hard for me to save that.
Seven years ago in a darkened studio where I was facing one corner and Cody was facing
the other corner.
And we just talked sports and whatever came to mind at the time.
We had an idea.
And that idea grew into something that neither one of us or anybody that was involved in
the show from day one, Chad included.
I don't think any of us dreamed of what it was going to wind up being.
And we still probably can't fathom what it's going to be.
It's cliche to say we're just getting started.
But you also have to understand that this is now total total time episode seven of five.
I think.
To believe that we've done this many of these things, this consistently.
I think of all the paper of the podcast I listened to.
This is one of the two that's the most consistent.
Yeah.
This one and in McAfee.
McAfee every Tuesday and Thursday that podcast is there.
What I wake up.
So many people have come through these doors.
It's it's hard to list them all.
And we've come through so many doors to.
Yeah.
From film festivals to press screenings to stage productions.
To award festivals.
Like we were judges at something which is still mind blowing to me.
And had an amazing time doing that.
And the doors that just keep opening.
Because we hold this show to such a high standard.
It continues to even when Doc and L.A. are here.
See what you did there.
The fact that this is still fun.
Is the main thing.
Yeah.
Like if this wasn't fun, we would have given up on this a long time ago.
Because.
Understand something.
We're not cutting.
Get a check cut for this.
More often than how we're cutting a check for this thing.
And I've told people if you want to get into podcasting.
Don't get into make money.
Because it's very, very difficult to do that.
Get in it because you have a passion for something.
And because you love doing it.
The friends that we've met through this thing.
The people that we've gotten to know through this thing.
The dignitaries that we've we've sat across the desk from.
And there's more coming.
And I'm constantly amazed.
By what we've been able to accomplish.
Just by sticking to it.
You know, a lot of people think we're crazy sometimes.
Why do this thing?
Well, I'm not going to argue with them.
You know, I don't need to do this to know my level of crazy.
Yeah, sure.
But it's been so much fun.
We're not stopping anytime soon.
I mean, at that point, you're going to stop when you put me in the pine box.
Yeah.
Right.
And even then, somebody else will probably just take this chair and run one.
Or they'll just prop me up in a week in it.
Bernie, that's what I have.
I've got some, you know, robotics people from Disney that are going to help me.
Hey, you know, I'll let me some Disney.
So whether you, you're listening for the first time.
Whether you've listened to us since day one.
No matter what your seniority is in this show.
We cannot thank each and every one of you.
Whether you listen to the show, whether you're one of our vendors.
Whether you're somebody like a Kelly Kitchens who has opened more doors for us than she's ever had to for anybody for any reason.
Whether it's some of the coolest people that we've gotten to meet.
Whether it's whatever it is.
If you've had anything to do with this show in the history of ever in the last seven years.
We cannot thank you enough.
And as long as you keep listening, we'll keep doing it.
And even if you're not listening, we're still going to do it because sometimes we can't really tell whether you're listening or not.
And that's kind of okay.
So this is just, this started out of something that just kind of.
Sitting in a driveway on a Saturday night just running our apps and deciding to record.
It's like, why not? What the hell?
And it's turned into this.
Which still blows my mind every time we do it.
And I'm just, I don't know, I'm just, I'm in awe every week that we do this.
Probably two shows next weekend.
We don't know yet.
You're going to know probably within the next couple of days.
So pay attention to our social media.
Sir thoughts.
Well, you know, you guys are more than welcome, man.
I mean, I didn't expect all of that.
You know, but, you know, thanks guys.
Well, we appreciate you being, LA's one of the people that we met because of this show.
LA, you're eager to see much room this year.
LA's even hosted a show before.
Right.
So in his living room.
Sir.
When you and I first started talking about this,
it was, it was a concept that you needed a little bit of nudging to even respond to.
I did.
I had started listening to podcasts by somebody that we hold very near and dear to us.
The reason I call people, sir.
Mr. Kevin Smith.
And I'm like, this is something that you really need to latch onto.
And then you started listening to it.
And then when I said, dude, this is the kind of thing that we do in your living room.
Let's give this a shot.
And like you said, you fast forward to today.
And it's amazing how much this thing has grown, how much it's evolved.
The context we have made the experiences that we've had.
And I'm with you.
I'm in awe of what is what is in our view of your mirror.
And it just makes me more excited to see what's on the horizon.
Yeah.
I mean, you guys have been awesome throughout the years.
As far as the seven years have been hosting it.
I'm proud that you guys even let me in the house.
No.
Well, you've let us in your house.
Oh, yeah.
Doc is hosted this show more than one occasion.
Yeah.
And everything you bring to the whole community.
The online community and everything you guys get in your opinions out there.
Getting the message heard is just as wonderful as all.
So we appreciate it.
Thank you, man.
And I'm flattered and honored to have you and been considered to come in and sit.
And I've had so much fun for the few episodes.
I've done and I look forward to many more.
And I'm thankful for the empire several of them have reached out.
And it's it's an amazing feeling.
So thank you all for what you do.
That's what I'm going to do.
He just Xavier Woods.
I hate him with a microphone stand.
And as we've said since day one, this is a grassroots thing.
We don't have a marketing budget.
So the only way that the word gets out about this show is by you telling people about it.
I mean, we run our apps enough about it.
So help us keep subscribe, download, like, review the whole shooting match.
