Special Edition WWE No Mercy 2016

It is 701 on the East Coast.
It is 401 on the West Coast.
It is the 9th of October in the year of our Lord 2016.
Season 7, Episode 14, 364 times this voice has welcomed you to the Clubhouse podcast.
We are live, but we are happy to know no matter how you are listening, whether you are
with us right now on your stream, whether you are listening on our archive or whether
you subscribe on iTunes or just glad you are here.
My name is Rob.
I am the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast and I am known to be fairly merciful,
but maybe not today.
Today is WWE No Mercy.
It is the second SmackDown live paper view, which means today we are wrestling intensive.
We will be back to abnormal next week.
We have got two weeks between paper views this time instead of one, which is kind of nice.
But I am not alone in the studio.
Joining me across the desk as he tends to do each and every week is a man who just opened
the age gap just a little bit more this weekend.
He is chat.
I was waiting for that.
Also joining us, kind of a light load in the studio this week, but there is nothing wrong
with that.
We have quality over quantity this week.
Joining me across the desk is the man that you are going to get this guy big.
Outside of me may have the coolest shirt in the studio.
I don't know.
He is Steven Zimmerman.
We may have a three way time.
Welcome sir.
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Jimmy Keychain.
I have no idea what you are going to say.
So as we alluded to, by the way, we also want to send it to Don's not with us tonight,
but his birthday is this Thursday.
We want to say a happy early birthday to Don and Dieter.
He actually sits right between us in age, like literally halfway.
He is the halfway mark.
Okay, you are four years old and he is two years old.
But as we alluded to, this past Friday was your birthday, and his gift to you is out
in the living room.
You probably saw it when you walked in, a little something.
Oh that's what that was.
You now have a TV to watch and it does have HDMI on the back.
I checked it for you.
And then you also have the birthday gift from me and I guarantee you this is something
you do not have.
It's a package.
Oh, it is a Star Wars trilogy Funko pop t-shirt.
That is slick.
Thank you sir.
So that looks sharp.
I have a whole collection of them at the old tarjade.
Apparently that's really.
They are doing like a limited their own run of these things.
So I am in on that.
Well happy birthday birthday.
Thank you.
So now I have to come bearing a gift next to my visit.
So next three weeks.
So hell of a sell.
All right.
We have one correction from last week.
We were talking about the classic, the NES classic system is coming out next month.
No download.
We will not be expandable.
Yeah.
The 30 games is it.
I thought maybe it did.
It does have a USB port, but that's for power.
It's for the power source.
Yeah.
I meant to call you until you.
I think that's still a bit of a failed bit.
It was in the Q&A on Amazon, so I found it.
But still seems a little unstable.
Pretty silly orders are through the roof.
Sold out.
I still don't want one.
No get me wrong, but why wouldn't you want to do that?
So that's your.
I get mine.
I think first week of December.
Oh, is that thought it was coming out November?
Yeah, I get mine.
Because it's so far backed up.
Wow.
I get mine first weekend.
I didn't pay for it.
Obviously.
All I can say.
Thank you.
All I can assume is that they're probably going to make
me super Nintendo version in a couple of years.
I would love that because honestly, I feel like that is the best.
Well, I think I'm behind the week.
I think the sales of this are going to be so good.
They're going to have to at least seriously consider it.
And we have the source for Nintendo information across from you.
Speaking of which, before we get into wrestling, because we're going to talk about
the week that was, we're going to talk about going to run the card.
We're going to grade the card.
I do want to say one thing, pop culture wise, especially since Stevens here.
Because if you know anything about Stevens, he is also an expert in all things.
I may in things of its nature.
Did you see the new Power Rangers trailer?
It just dropped it.
Yes, I did.
I didn't see it.
I got the link.
I haven't opened it.
I have made it fully known on this show how anti-power Rangers I am since the beginning.
And we've gone through this story a million times.
However, this trailer looks awesome.
Yeah.
I'm willing to say it.
It doesn't look as dark as at 15 minutes.
Oh, no.
I still wouldn't rather see that as a teaser.
I would.
It's pretty cool.
The way they're doing this, especially the end of that trailer, and since Stevens
hasn't seen it yet, I don't want to ruin the end of the trailer.
But the end of the trailer, you're like, oh, it just got real.
Yeah, we probably got to sell.
I'm going to point it out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do that for me.
Watch that tonight because I'm telling you, I'm in.
See, I'm on this shin Godzilla kit because I'm seeing it next Tuesday.
I'll drop out.
Oh, God, I want to say so.
It's, yeah, my mind has been on that for the last seven days.
So, when we get off air, when we get off air, I'm going to have you watch it.
Yeah.
It really is.
This sound system in here.
Yeah.
I'm really, is that good.
Okay.
So, let's talk about the week that was in our sport.
People are saying it is all, but done that one of your matches for Survivor Series is
going to be Goldberg, Lesnar.
So you may think to yourself, Rob, why Survivor Series?
Why not WrestleMania?
Well, that's an excellent question, and I have an answer.
Apparently, they want to do this to promote 2K17 because Goldberg's on the cover of
the special edition of Lesnar's on the normal one, right?
And also Lesnar's already got a plan for WrestleMania.
And it's the one you fear, because you've said no, you've said this on the show before
that don't let this match happen.
Oh, no.
What?
What?
No.
Say it.
I can't.
Say it.
I can't.
Say it.
You say it.
Shane.
Shane, what is it?
Oh, yeah.
That is the plan.
And so this match next month is going to be a one off, which makes it matter even less
than the worst WrestleMania match of all time.
What's the over and under on if it gets worse or better?
I'm still taking worse.
What?
Because at least that match had Stone Cold as a referee, and he's stunned both of them.
What's the tempo rate of this match going to be?
Is it slower or faster?
Well, I mean, Shane can still go, but he can't go like he used to.
All of a sudden, versus Peter Griffin won't go faster than that.
Would you rather see Peter Griffin and the chicken than, yeah, I'd rather see him on your
Griffin and the chicken than just about anything.
I want to see, yeah, okay, maybe that would be good.
Peter Griffin and the dolphin and the dolphin colonel.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Maybe, maybe Peter and Dolph versus Miss Chicken and the chicken in a tag match.
Why do I smell a dolphin versus a gobbledy gooker match?
I'm telling you, if it happened, somebody's listening to this show.
Although, so the network is on his way to do it, the network announces this weekend
through some, well, that really announced it, but Steven and I are both on the fan councils
what they call it.
Well, they send out surveys, I have twice a week on stuff, and we both agree, we don't
read those emails.
No, no, no, no, no.
It reminds me of spam.
Well, they put it on a very interesting survey.
That they're talking about going to tiered memberships with the network.
Oh, where there would be a free version where you could access up to five hours of
content a month, but you can't do paper views or special events.
Okay, so I get then all the way up to 1499 a month.
That 1499 a month would get you early ticket access to events.
Hall of Fame voting, very interesting there.
Extra bonus contents, and independent footage, and this comes from the survey, ROH and
TNA.
TNA's bot.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Now, give me my Bobby Root Limer and my sting complete box set.
Yeah.
That's very interesting.
Now TNA was like, that one didn't hit me sideways because we've heard the talk for
weeks.
Right.
You know, Vince is going to get the library, but Billy Corgan's still going to be
the majority owner of the world as a vampire.
Exactly.
But to see ROH's name put into this, that's kind of a new wrinkle, isn't it?
Yes.
In sense, yeah, but new Japan and WWE have crossroads and then new Japan and ROH are under
the same umbrella where they share talent.
So it's kind of like, uh, I'll just, uh, my gyms, I still look forward to watching
ROH every week.
I really do, even though they're like, but when was Field of Honor, like two months
ago?
And they're just, um, they're just now Eric, so there's that.
Also, Luke Harbor returned at a house show in Chile for Raw, so he'll be on the
Raw brand.
He tagged with Kevin Owens versus Seth Rollins and Sammy Zane.
I don't know if that doesn't anything for you.
Not particularly.
So he doesn't really interest me.
I just, I know, breaking up the riots was a bad idea.
Yes, I just like breaking up the bullet club was a bad idea, but again, give me the book
and a checkbook for a year, so I'm saying, let me get into my iPad here, which is in
the studio this week.
Thank you.
Yay.
Let's talk Raw.
Well, Jericho was really selling this list, didn't he?
He's so good.
I mean, it's just, this is the first time I've ever enjoyed him as a heel, like the spoiled
brat thing, kind of got to me over the years, but this version of it, I don't know
what it is.
I don't know if it's because Kevin Owens works with him so well, here's how magical
Chris Jericho is.
He is one of the only few.
He's like a wrestling deity, like the way he can change with the times, just be so diverse,
come back, reinvent himself, and if it's not good, he will disappear and he's like, I
won't.
That doesn't work.
But he will try to force it.
Exactly.
Well, amazing at it, you know, whether you like it or not, he is really well at adapting
to what's new.
I can't argue with you.
He's a, like he took, I don't even know the name of the show, but the stupid idiot
thing is from that guy from that little sitcom that they have with, with how I met
your mother or something.
He does that where he got that from him, like he just stole it from that, like he's
a genius.
He knows what to do and how to work it, and he just, he doesn't every time.
We say this every week on this show, but every week, the new day finds a new way to entertain
me.
I just want them on my TV.
That promo on Jericho, where they said Jericho said that they jumped the shark.
Let me give you the quote.
I don't know if you saw this.
I saw this.
Yes, I did.
When Xavier Wood says, okay, one, you know we don't swim.
He's not going to owe it to this.
Yeah, right.
Yes.
And he goes, two.
When was the last time you jumped over anything?
And it was like, oh, oh, this.
I laughed so hard.
These three guys, who to thought this two years ago, when they came in with what could
be one of the worst face gimmicks of all time, like it didn't even work for Reverend slick.
It wasn't good.
Work for these three, no.
I didn't really give this a very long shelf life.
The order did I, and would you know what, L.A. and Don were in from day one.
Yeah, they were.
So we've got to give credit where credit's been.
Well, they were on board when they were heels because they live the heel fact.
That's fair.
Ryan Philippi doing the crotch chop.
I was like, wait.
Is it relevant?
Well, wait for WWE to stay relevant.
Yeah, Ryan Philippi.
I'm wrong.
Ryan Philippi must have thought he was at an ROH show because they're still doing it.
Have we, what has he done lately?
Is he doing voicelver work or something because I might be, he might be in that, uh,
Freddie Prince Jr. category where they're just doing a bunch of voicels.
So we're waiting for him to show up on Star Wars Rebels as well.
You never know.
Oh, I missed him.
I missed it last night.
Did you, I haven't watched last night's, but I caught up too much.
Yeah, so mine.
They're doing a really good job.
Yeah, they are.
Okay.
Don't give me to go off on the tangent.
Sign of the week from from RAW.
During the Enzo big cast segment, which got really awkward in a couple of moments.
Not there, horrible.
Somebody had a sign that just said, even if they started talking, big sign of crowd.
We're doing just fine.
Thanks.
It's like God bless you, people.
Nobody asked you, but okay, and when you, you get through the, and I love that what
they were trying to do with cast and Enzo, I love this, the thing they do in October
with breast cancer awareness.
Tuesday at work, I will be in a pink shirt because that's our day at work that we get
to do that.
You need to show me your Halloween shirt, by the way.
No, you don't, you'll see it when I, everybody else sees it this year, this year
it's just only two people that know, one of them I live with and the other one, I'm
not even disclosing who it is, but assuming they were with you when you bought it.
No, because I ordered it online.
Oh, okay.
Oh, as awkward as the Casamore segment was, the Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson thing
was that much more awkward, like who said, let's put these guys at the table.
These guys do commentary because they shoehorn them in the week before, oh my, and that's
the reason I don't watch Raw, because it is the C show of the company.
How sad is that Raw is the C show SmackDown is B and A is an XT is A, but I will
say, when you go back to that tag match, that DDT that Cesaro pulled off, I don't know if
you heard about this.
I saw the little Jeff on it on my Twitter feed when he jumped off what he, um, shameless
shameless had KO in was it a cloverly, if you had him in, yeah, it was a tan.
Gloverly, um, Jericho was going to come up from behind.
Cesaro jumped over shameless, sprung off of his off of shameless as back into a DDT.
God, it was a very nice move.
And you said you saw the GIF online, yeah, it looks great.
It was a really great moment.
Uh, so again, we at first saw you have a new women's champion on Raw, congratulations
Sasha Banks.
God for that.
But again, though women's match stole that entire show, what did they give them?
See, but was that like a 20 minute match?
Somewhere there.
I think 25.
That's what the entrance is.
So it was about 1819 and they, that was one of the best women's matches I've seen.
Let it close.
Yeah, let it close.
They let it be the main event.
And it was, I mean, commercial breaks that they have to one up to one was one.
One, and it was like a real short four minute one.
Yeah, it was like here.
Get your dolphins.
They're kicking in and get the hell out.
Dude, it was, it was an amazing match.
I was so impressed with that match.
And just, it also gave it, I don't think he gave it 4.5.
Really?
He went for him.
That's high praise coming from him.
From Meltzer, absolutely.
He went 4.5 on that match.
Do we know who the only wrestler is that got the negative stars in Dave Meltzer's history?
Negative stars?
I've never known him.
I didn't know he did that.
John would be Steve Austin.
What?
He had a scaffold match.
Oh, God.
And this was early in his WCW career.
He had a Skat.
I can't remember who was involved in this scaffold match.
I want to say the magnetic spress or the rock and roll or something.
And when every time Meltzer's on his show, Austin has to mention, you know, he gave
me negative stars.
And every time Meltzer goes,
had you gone back and watched that match?
You were a Hollywood blonde for God's sake.
Steve goes, yeah, you're right.
You got three guys that are afraid of heights.
And then two more that do this on the regular.
You were kind of at a marked disadvantage.
Well, and I don't know if you noticed this.
The boots that Charlotte was wearing during that match, work her very first pair of wrestling
boots she ever owned.
She retired them that night after the match.
Oh, that's nice.
So really cool little dark story on it.
Dixie Carter has acknowledged talks with WWE, but she's not saying how do you think this
thing's church.
Yeah, this thing is church.
They almost couldn't do bound for glory.
They're a biggest paper view of a year.
How much you want a bit Vince paid that off there?
And they're not saying who it is.
But they're saying there was somebody who came in at the last minute.
I'm not betting against that.
No, I say Vince paid it off because like I said,
Q&A will get bought.
And then when T&A wants to do the invasion angle or whatever, Vince is like,
that's my talent that has all of your belts.
I have sandout doing roads.
No, there's one.
Oh, and then Davey Richards now is Eddie Edwards.
Eddie Edwards, that one down.
Eddie Edwards is your new CNN champion by the way.
And I like that kid.
Do we go to the same will that we make this the WCW thing all over again?
I hope not.
A little bit.
It's Stephanie or Shane that somewhere between now and when it's announced, they
make it that somebody has bought it, but they don't say whose name is on the contract.
Bobby McFly.
McFly.
Or what if it's true?
What if it's trip?
I'll see now.
No, no.
You got something.
I don't think so because they've already acknowledged way too much that NXT
is triple H is brainchild and triple H.
That is true.
That's true.
Maybe in all over NXT and I don't see him hurting that brand by saying,
I had to go get another brand.
No, I'm just seeing it for him personally.
I think him as a man and him as a business person.
Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of his, but he is very smart at what he does.
I just don't think he would do that.
even for storyline telling because that would hurt him essentially
because it would be like all right well this isn't your people that's why
people on raw like fin baller Kevin owns there are getting the belts because those are his
guys well then i guess i would make more sense of it was a Stephanie yeah like you would
see it as a power move exactly i think it for us to see it as a mick move because he
gets sick and tired of Stephanie's crap after she's been looking into him that does i mean
that that'd be pretty cool but i wouldn't make any sense of her making it but the money
is also been commissioner of tna before yeah mick mick was yeah there is that was the guy who
transitioned it to say this is wrestling this is impact wrestling he was the guy who transitioned
from the red to the blue yeah got rid of the NWATNA to make it tna impact and okay he did all
that he did all the marketing he's the one who's got the deepest history with it so yes that's
the logic is sound in the craziest story of the week Alberto Del Rio misses his first lucha
libre event after he established it yeah you had multiple times outside of a restaurant
one of the columnist one of the major internet columnists actually called the San Antonio police
department and they had no record of it but people were saying he was a lot of suburb in there yeah
there's a lot of other suburb that may have responded to that okay so you know how you live off
of a four you live off four ten or whatever it for those of you that are listening Steven is talking
to his lady friend who's also in the studio he's not having a psychotic break he's not thinking
out loud there's someone he's talking trying to talk to the chicken from the delves regular
commercial no so you know how you live off four ten it's going towards all past so I think
it's thirty seven is it thirty seven or whatever it's going away from hebenerokes it's going
that way it's it's in that back area it's similar it's like the arlington uh-
yeah the uh- of San Antonio that's where he got stabbed yes we do want to say congratulations Daniel
Brian and Brebella now expecting their first child it's going to come out with a beard
kids already growing you all were spewed memos all over the whole uh- air now we get
Luke Harper back now Eric Rowan's out six months for the love of god torn rotator cuff
see this what happened when you break up a faction uh- ready story today that Tyson kid
who's been out for over a year now still cannot feel his head or have full mobility of his
head no refresh remember what happened to him again it was a botched spot at a house show if i'm
not mistaken and it was something to do with his shoulder injury it was a shoulder injury and
and it like going into his it went to his neck he he he went very similar to um- draws without
very similar this was that a house show that he was working with NXT uh- he's he's still there
is they still think he's hopeful to return but it's gonna be if it's gonna be a called a day
called a day some smack-down notes what was up with king getting color on Tuesday night
huh king was beljudin bro oh really in the opening match why does king have to be on a card
well you might get him tonight oh i know oh my god that's my prediction which we'll talk about here in
just a minute uh- and i really like where this orton thing is going this past week on smack-down
with some of the best work orton has done in a long time really neat uh- just my work i mean i
didn't see the spot it was my work it was selling some dramatic i thought it would get a great job
orton impresses me more and more each year and everyone's a he's still he's flat he's this this
this but he you know he is proven to be what everyone portrayed when to be when he was a rookie
he has it all he's better than say he's he's magical at what he does but i'll say healthy a lot of
it comes to they are terrified because he is he's the he's the star version of Jeff Hardy
well and it's he's the face version of like i can't wait it's face he's he's the Jeff Hardy
but on a higher scale he's the he's the scene uh-esque character but we've said in the show for
years though the thing about Randy he's always better chasing the title than he has having the title
yeah there's just something different about him when he's chasing versus when he's being chased
because that that's when he gets complacent he goes healing which is what he did on smack-down
those week where he said the prey is now the predator yeah see i think the only time he ever had a
no i didn't back he had three really good runs as a champion and there was that one where he was
going through before the next is he was tearing through people like Jeff Hardy in 2008 where he was
kicking people's heads clear off their shoulders oh yeah that was good and then his first run where
he just said i'm the best so he spit in everyone's face yeah genius and um Steven i were talking
in pre-show that during miss tv they did a a fake ww247 what was the name of it Steven what was the
actual title the success the success of a failure was the career of Dolph Ziegler it was hilarious
it showed him as the spirit squad curr and white yeah i didn't real and that's what i was going to say
i did not know if you go back to the chavo curwin white days that was Ziegler was his caddy
that was before this spirit squad i was like oh my god it's not fair that's where the pain is i's
a gankham and it was it's hilarious like you had that's something you have to see because i
everyone sent it to me to like Steven i know you're a ziggler guy but well you have to see this and
i was funny i started crying it was hilarious well then did you hear the sound effect of middle
gear solid whenever snake gets detected so Ziegler started to get his normal promo of like
because you know if he loses tonight he retired sure belt versus career well he go he cuts his promo
about you know i'm here every day i'm the one that's going to be here blah blah blah blah blah well then
miss says don't fret i have someone that's going to cheer you up and here come
Mikey and Kenny stop it and they beat him down and all like i think of as oh dear cany
dyke sure we barely knew you and man did they get out of shape in our days that's what i'm saying
on the other two didn't show up and i can tell you why nick Mitchell Nicky apparently lives in
Jerusalem he's very deeply religious now and didn't want to do it which i'm fine with that but
Johnny you want to talk about how the mighty have fallen because he running a used tire shop in Oklahoma
like Johnny Geter had a conflict with his current employer his boss wouldn't give him the day
so no man wait that's a thing you know that's our that's our busy night at Wendy's we got to have you on the
fry station well and apparently both Kenny and Mikey are backstage tonight at Omar scene so
expect to see them that tells you a lot and sorry the way to smack down during the main event
main event can start at lock up take down somebody just holds up a side and it says rest hold
and when he started up they just decide we're getting better and better and better
nothing will ever be better than the fast forward since i got as the greatest side so he just
held up as it was just the fast forward symbol right then it looked a match this was probably
what 10 years ago like that no i've never saw it so you know watch botchomania
you have on occasion that is the greatest thing ever and yeah no that makes me love crowds
so much more still want to do what we we talked about when we saw the fast forward sign
get front row ringside and then as the as the as the match or as the evening progresses everybody
holds up a little green bar to show the progress that he said one person has the playpoints
to show you where you are on the show that you'll see though every 20 minutes somebody holds up another
portion of the green bar so that's what we just see we show the passage of time on the
screen that's one of my one of my like bucket list items we had on my we all just get the entire front
row and that's what we do the whole show he said on my two dishes I can't even know what's done
it yet honestly I really can't and if you do I'm suing you for gimmick in prison you are
listening to the clubhouse podcast we're live every Sunday night we're right now getting
you ready for no mercy but we need you to get ready here in about six weeks we're we are returning

L.A. says Corbin Don says Corbin Swagger is just happy to be on paper few weeks

led by one Shelton Benjamin oh you talk about the angle the Shelton and Jack oh god stop just say
and stop and just say and I don't know Nicky Bella versus Carmella Steven Carmella let's see L.A.
did not pick this one Don says Nicky Bella who's going for food you know who's he's going to be
going for food during that match which is more interesting I think Carmella wins this.
I do. I do. All right she needs to she needs to kind of be elevated a little bit
Randy Orton Bray Wyatt L.A. says Bray Don says Orton he wins due to the Corbin
quote injury at the last paper view where they were supposed to compete Steven
uh uh uh uh uh very always loses so I'm going to take a very win this time.
Yeah he's here. I think Bray wins if for no reason to push this to the next paper viewer
we have the gimmick match because the gimmick match always ends the angle. Right and hell
the self-perfect for a gimmick match for involving Bray Wyatt Intercontinental championship on the line
title versus career if Ziggler loses he must retire the Miz versus Dolph Ziggler uh L.A. says
Ziggler Don says Ziggler he doesn't see Resegler retiring and this is 2 to his this is his
2,967th try so we have to get it eventually. I am hearing conflicting stories.
There are people saying that he might have political aspirations but there are other people
saying looking just signed a long-term viewing June chat. I don't think that has any bearing on
the outcome of this match because we've had retirement matches before where they went nowhere.
That's fair. So I'll go with the Miz on this. I don't want to but I just know that that's what
that's the blackmail that WWE tends to have on us. I'm going Steven going for RAW's newest
accusation Colonel Ziggler. I'm going to take him and the chicken little that that is given out
when they enter. I think it's Ziggler too. We have to do something with this angle because this
is what the third paper view in a row for these two. Oh my goodness that's why you need to watch
Bach many you know that song is like this is the song that never ends and they just kept playing
like vignettes of Miz versus Ziggler and it's like from 2009 to now and it's like it just won't
women's championship not on the line tonight. We did have a Becky Lynch versus Alexa Bliss.
Becky Lynch could be out for up to a month with a neck injury. Now just for the sake
of getting swerved. I think we should go ahead and pick them at any way just to be safe.
LA says Becky. Don says Becky for the first time who's going on a dessert break. Chad.
Yeah whoever the heck whoever the heck Alexa's taking on is going to be the winner. Okay.
Not Becky because I can't stand her. She's hard and botched full and I feel like I'm watching
brave on rerun. Every time she's I like the Becky Lynch. I'm sorry. That's okay we can agree
disagree we have but I'll take the table. All right I think I agree with you whoever Alexa ends up
yeah Alexa does the job no matter who it is. Yeah it's Naomi. Tag team championships on the line
Beauty and the man beast versus the Usos. LA says the Usos. Don says Slater and Rhino this is my heart
overhead choice. I get the feeling they may be stupid and give it to the Usos due to the fact
that they dumped Slater basically even though after he was hot after he won the title.
But he still thinks that Slater and Rhino win. Yeah that's the Usos. I'm going the other way.
I just they just put these belts on these points. I mean I would see the title change more
in some kind of a crazy four corners match at survivor series than tonight. They're going to have
a cheese cracker's match. Would you come up with a cheese cracker's on a pole? Yeah. Don't do
about cheese crackers. He's in what could be the strangest move tonight world championship title
on the line in a triple threat that will lead off the show because they want to counter program
the debate tonight but the debate happens an hour later. I'm very confused because if anybody
knows the target demographic for the debates is definitely going to be found in the WWE
LA says AJ ret�es AJ D-Nambros and John Cena. Don says AJ are they really going to strip AJ
that fast plus the 16-time one chain will make him vomit. Steven. I just they built up this
whole D-Nambros first to see nothing that it's going to one of them is going to screw in another
out of getting the win and AJ's going to have a sneak up roll up. It's AJ's going to retain.
They're not going to give scene a 16 at an inferior paper. I totally agree with that logic is sound.
I think if he gets 16 it's going to be WrestleMania. There's no other place to say I haven't
going 16 at Survivor Series losing it at a major and then winning it back at Manus. I think it's
a great team. Break the record. You know what I did that logic is sound as well.
Yeah. All right. So we've run the entire card. Let's see. Don says C minus.
Chad. I'll actually give it a C plus. All right. I want to give it a B minus but it's a little
bit stronger than the last one on paper. But again, boy we're setting the bar low. Yes, we are.
Back last was horrific. Yeah. So you're saying officially C plus C plus all right. Steven.
You know it just because I'm always setting the bar low. It's just my usual cup of tea. I'm going to
give it a B minus. I am inclined to agree with Steven. I want it too. But it's hard hard to
say. I feel I feel like it's it's going to somehow surprise us in some way. That's going to be really
good. As much as I felt burnt and betrayed after backlash the capital punishment the sequel.
Yeah. Yeah. The only paper for you worse than that one was capital punishment. I think this
because there's I guess maybe is not much bang to hyper ratio here. I think that we're going to
this will be a better paper view. I think it will be a little bit more entertaining. I'm still
going to stay up kind of late because I do want to watch this debacle of a debate that's going to
happen later tonight. You're going to stay up and watch it for a little while. I did already watch
SNL. I can say that. I'm not hanging there with you. So I want to see some of it at least. But
you know what? I'm staying up optimistic about this paper view. You'll get our reactions next week
on the show. Anything else we want to talk about before we do the plug gentlemen? No, I'm waiting
for this thing to either impress me or depress me. All right. So let's do the plug. You had
something on your mind. I'm going to say depression is easy when you're a dolphin. That's true.
