But he'll be here. It's gonna be a packed house tonight. We're gonna have a great time for a four hour paper
Let's bring it down
Bring it down a little bit
Corrections and follow-ups from last week's show if you check this out
Steven was talking about Bellbib Devot on the house party two soundtrack they were on the house party soundtrack
But it was not poison. It was let me know something
Okay, also we talked about Don Callis who joined the new Japan commentary team
You were you may remember him as the jackal in WWE or ECW. He was Cyrus
Okay, and we did there's one honorable mention from the last the list. I did not give last week in the list of
Albums that I can still listen to the this to this day and it's entirety being to end it's
Riosbue I can tie in fidelity
I forgot to mention that one last week which I've owned that on every possible format in the history of ever
I said if you say something like bed English I'm gonna throw a chair at you. I like bed English when I see you smile
One of my friends that's her ringtone in my phone really
It's true story. Wow, I will defend that. That's an Riosbue baking. Let's say roll
I
See he probably just got that one
I really did finally just get that are you happy with yourself?
We are gonna talk about last night here in just a moment
But let's get it. Well this is now normally where you're one stop shop for all things pop culture, but it is Royal
Rumble day
Chad's favorite major of the year
Manso starting out the year strong
We're going to be wrestling intensive in this particular episode
So before we get started though, we want to send a quick shout out to our friends the movie brothers
Bit weekend for them this weekend
They are hosting
I think it's still going on right now. They are hosting the Denton black film festival
They're rats gentlemen. Let me reiterate what I just said. They are hosting it
Way to go guys. So I'm very excited to talk to Kevin tomorrow and find out how it went
Well look at the sticker
LA
They are the movie brothers for a reason
What's their website?
WWW dot the movie brothers dot com. Be our you. That's your website. That is their website. That's our first
Brother, be our UTHAS
That's their website
Some of our favorite people in the world and they do a great job and we could not be happier for them this weekend
So let's get into the week that was in our sport
Next year's rumble announced will be in Philly
So to our friends in Philadelphia you will have the rumble in 2018
They announced that on Friday
Lawler has signed a new one year deal. He said for commentators
That's kind of the standard right now. They're one year deals
But he will be commenting tonight at the rumble
Good Michael Colt get renewed every year and tomorrow
Oh, don't we're gonna talk about more. We're now here in a minute
I got some about cold though. Are you guys for me?
That he wants to go backstage. We talked about that last week
Oh, so please and you know speaking of commentators LA brought up a very interesting point
That I didn't know in LA. I mean, I'm gonna let you share it. It's your news
Your news, but you're the one that brought it
I'm a big fan of NXT as we all know and I'm a big fan of Corey Gray's in his work. That's the wrong we all have our faults
Yeah, okay, but Corey Gray's just announced that he is leaving the NXT commentator
Because he is commentating on raw pretty much full time. Oh, that's right. He's doing 205 live as well
So he's gonna leave this in the capable hands of the new partner for Philips
I couldn't be more excited. Which is also and
Percy Watkins yes
Percy is the the tri-factor, but Mr. Parsons
What's up this duo of Philips and Graves is now going to be turned over to Nigel McGinnis
Nigel McGinnis who was working for ROH for 15 years
Now and was the commentary for the UK tournament the last weekend
He is now going to be at the announced table for NXT to me. This is huge because McGinnis is a great commentator
He's always been good on the mic
Injury is what cut his career short and he was the top top heel in ROH for years
Oh absolutely he's the one of those guys that would wear the belt backwards so we covered his butt in the ring. Yeah. Oh yeah
He was yes
But at the same part of the season given enough time for him, but he went to win back and became an ROH
And he was the orange it quote unquote matchmaker, but yeah, but it is still losing their their heel comedy though
But he is still on our way. He's still an ROH
Nigel McGinnis will be here. He's not he's not he's already working face. Just let it happen. Let it happen
WrestleMania will be this WrestleMania weekend is going to be kind of wacky on multiple fronts
Because WrestleMania itself is the official opening day for major league baseball
Wow
Issue number one number two
WrestleMania is also the same weekend as the opening weekend for the Dallas International Festival
So we're going to be very very very busy
WrestleMania weekend and in case you'd forgotten the Hall of Fame is actually going to be Friday night this year
Because NXT take over because they're gathering so much momentum
They're gonna do NXT take over on Saturday night not the other way around
I'm totally in I'm not I think a whole thing which it's always been their tradition
I think it's cool that they have that combat before the storm of WrestleMania that's fair
But I just I like it. I'm a fan. I kind of have a fan of the NXT right before and speaking of the Hall of Fame
This might be a spoiler so in case you don't want it in three two don't say the one
Your next person being immortalized in bronze was announced this week because you know we have the Andre the Giants and the ultimate warrior
Your next
Person to have a statue will be one Rick Flare
Not what I was hoping
Well, it's kind of the time the time it's time the time it's
So you think I don't take it no
Is it talking more your word for him?
I don't know for foot not you wouldn't get the warrior award. No, they're making a statue of him
Oh, I see so it's okay. Yeah, it's gonna be with him doing the woo
I just want to just hold in the four fingers up. That's all I will it's probably gonna be him wearing the rope with his arms out stretch
You know what you're probably going to have to be doing the woo though. That's just that's this thing
He has to be mounting out the word or he's doing the strut
He personally who I really think I was hoping they were gonna give it to was dusty
I think I think dusty already has one a bronze I think so does he I think so okay
so
also
one of the most interesting
DVD moves that WWE has made since doing the sting set was announced this week
March 21st there's going to be a DVD box set stay with me
Chronicleing the raws after WrestleMania
I am interested in this because what have we said for you always the best show with the year
So they're going to be doing a DVD box set about the raw after WrestleMania over the year somebody listening
Hey, a fact check. There's a statue of dusty. Okay. I knew dusty had great. I knew dusty had because I think he did it right after he passed away
They unveiled it on the next seat. I actually I was probably yeah, it was right now
Okay, see the right entry passed away or it was when they announced the dusty roads Memorial tag team turn him at the first time
Okay, I'm happily so I happily stand corrected all right
So NXT take over San Antonio results if you are holding off watching it
Skip the next couple of minutes and three two don't say the one
Eric Young over Ty Dillinger and a very good match
EY has got there's something about NXT that just re-energizes guys and Eric Young is one of those guys
AJ has been one of those guys and this was this whole match this whole card was strong
on dry day seeing all of us who from fun reason I just keep thinking he's our man though
Uh, he dresses just like him, but he was defeated by one Roderick strong
Roddy looks great
former ROH champion
He really is yeah, I mean, he's already looks better than he did in Toronto
I will say though as good as San Antonio was I still think Toronto was a stronger call
Absolutely
One of my favorite signs in the audience big red and barbacoa equals glorious
Yeah, I love how you put in Texas you totally get that reference anywhere else in the WWE
Universe people are like glowing big red and barbacoa huh and what yeah
You have new NXT tag champs as the authors of paying defeat DIY
Also a very good match really strong ending to this match
The super collider double power pump. I like the name of that
All and is it just me or is Paul Loring the only guy that can really work a managerial bit for this long and still be real
Student NXT yeah, he's managing the the authors of paying oh, isn't okay and because like Kevin Sullivan and ROH
It's laughable at this point, but Loring still like I he frightens me to this dead
They're still pulling that Steve Creeno stuff. No, not anymore because Creeno works for the performance center now
I know but did you see our reach this way because they're burning off the video
Remember they're always four weeks behind
Triple H did show up
Because Seth Rowan showed up in the ring and took over the show
It said I'm not leaving until triple H comes out and faces me H came out looked at him had security remove him
Interesting chance when that happened
Oscar retains the women's title as she wins a fatal four way against Billy K Peyton Royce and Nikki Cross
And you have a new NXT champion as Bobby Rude defeats Shinsuke Nakamura
They went 35 minutes and it was it wasn't like a bunch of rest hold that match went and did you notice LA
Rude barely broke a sweat in 35 minutes and they all brought their tops like the stuff that you didn't even see the
For a long time like Shinsuke went back to the striking oh, yeah, I mean it was it was great and both of them great entrances as NXT main events tend to do
Great show again NXT
And a lot of it to me is because Vince is letting H run with this. He's not he's not trying to handcuff him
He's not trying to tell him what to do. This is H's baby and they are killing it
Is him or is him or moon on at all much in NXT? She wasn't tonight last night
Okay, she's all she's a local product. Oh, I'm just saying for the people listening. Yeah, we'll ask our retaining
Yes, time to put Amber versus Oscar is time and a great match with the double
Billy K Peyton Royce power bombing Nikki Cross off the announced table through another table
Yeah, that's gonna be interesting. That was a very I mean
Steven sent me a text today because he's down there and he was saying that that crowd was red hot
But I don't know that they might that crowd well enough
Because if he's I mean because he's got the reason to tell me otherwise because he was there
But to from from our aspect watching it at home
It just didn't sound like the crowd was on fire as they probably
Yeah, they mic the crap out of Toronto
Yeah, yeah, he is
They're out there it doesn't matter what the crowd is. They're gonna be on fire
All right, let's talk a little bit about raw Monday night boy that first hour took for ever
That is the slowest hour of wrestling. I've watched in real years
We did have the return of Frenchy, yeah, and he really has trimmed it up
Yeah, he looks good Frenchy looks great. I don't know why he's wearing Kurt Engel's old trunks
Let's put her in there. Make the hallfame thing. I don't know
He's wearing air roll. It's beer too
He's wearing three of Engels outfits and one of airs
So we're gonna skip to the end because nothing else caught my fancy, but
When did Goldberg cut his head open?
Oh, I guess that's what I was trying to figure out
All right, LA
Apparently
Goldberg banks his head
I guess a door slash locker before he bust out of the door
So it did it waited that long to start bleeding. I guess so
Because my first thought was that he'd get hit with a pyro that opened him up
Yeah, because it was because it didn't start until he was like right now. No, it was at ringside. Oh, it was you saw it
Perculate. Oh, really, okay
He was walking but then when he was talking right into the microphone
When he hit the entrance ramp and the pyro hit that that kind of like finished this
He was like a little make up take first kid or something
It was absurd all right and
This what I'm gonna say
Coming up right after I say this is gonna sound weird
But I need you to roll with me for just a second
We're gonna talk about the end of wrong. Okay
I don't know why
But I am oddly intrigued at the
Possibility of
Goldberg taker. I don't know why
But I'm more intrigued by that than I am gold bird than I am taker listener three
And we're even talking one chain of takers. Yeah, that's been abandoned. They have abandoned that I would take anything
But taker less than three
But the first two are so wonderful
I mean
But but you got to think about it goldberg taker would be slower than taker listener
But I'm intrigued by this and I like normally I can tell you I like this and this is why I really can't tell you why this intrigues me
I literally can't I just saw that and I was like you know what?
I would watch that I think you need someone fast to offset taker yeah cuz that's what I'm saying
That's why I don't know why this intrigues me because really the Beyans with the I think the best taker versus match series
I may out of that whole thing I think the best well was fuck taker
Sean taker Sean or two of my favorites
The first 25 that was cool, I was okay with the first the first now that's one of my favorite
I mean, the darkness versus the light match. Yes, but I think since punk has like
Continued the whole bit bar with the taker pump. I don't think anybody else after that has held it now
I'll give you that but I mean at I was there at the reliant. Yeah, you have 85,000 people literally
Screaming under taker every near fall the whole the next match of
Triple H and Orton right everybody was dead
They were gassed. They were gassed at that point. Oh, because you could top that that was the best match I've ever seen that should have been the main event
I've always felt that way. So other headlines from this week
With the release on that DVD set for the RAWs after WrestleMania
They're actually moving the release of
DDP's positively living DVD set
Probably because the rumors are strong that he'll go into the Hall of Fame
So that's gonna be released two days after WrestleMania. What are they gonna call that Monday after RAW set?
What do you I don't know they they haven't given a title yet. They just announced it. It was gonna happen this week
WrestleMania after math
And you heard you heard who who Angle wants to induct him who he wants Austin to do it really
He wants Austin to be the one to induct it. Why they really did have a great view and then you had the whole ukulele thing
Maybe the rock to plus a go ahead quite a lot of great. You know who I think he's you know
Why I think he's to induct him. He's shame
King of the ring. Yes, and when you were you hear that story and the first suplex when remember the plexiglass didn't break
And when Shane tells that story and says and after it didn't break
I didn't know what to do and all I heard was Angle go do it again
And I have said are you crazy? He said no do it again, and that's what in the plexiglass
If you didn't see earlier this week it was announced that one Shayna will host the
2017 Nickelodeon kids choice award from Los Angeles on March 11
I'm gonna watch that live. I know that you have everyone on my DVD. It's fine a couple of smack-down notes
You know doesn't the business question?
Yeah, no no you don't
Um
It doesn't the miss have enough money now so he can buy sunglasses at fit his face
Sir those are stylish those are terrible
thousand dollar glass that you sir would know nothing about because I work
One's at fit my face. Yes, you know nothing about
Those wouldn't fit French
You do ace as the miss would say
shoe
You've been given his other fashion choices that falls right in line with them
Hey although I don't know if you heard me say this that black suit he wore a couple of weeks ago that was sharp
He was I couldn't pull that off, but that was
What the matrix roses robes were those no, no, no, we're talking about it was a great suit
I mean, I know I'm talking about him being established those matrix robes
He used to wear those major drugs are awesome, too. Okay, so leave the crack alone now let's talk more over now
Oh, let's go
Where were we on Tuesday night
We were at the press screening. No, no, where was Matt sat down? Oh, it was a cleaver sits in there. No, you were in the right state
They were in Toledo
Toledo and he the first words out of moral renol's mouth were holy Toledo
I loved it instead of great presidents for the show
I'm so glad that we don't drug test on this show because he would be there every week
Says the man who endorses buyer. I still do get bullied
Saxton
To former gator great sir
Gator
As much oh by the way breaking NFL news the cult have hired Chris ballard as their general manager
Okay, former football director of football operations
Uh
And as much as I'm enjoying having
Mickey James back
That promo did not work for me. Uh, it seemed weird
Like he's trying to do that old psycho thing she did with what oh she took back on that again
Well, because she's she's side kicking Alexa bless
Yeah, she's side kicking I hate that that swing kick thing
She is too old to be doing that because it looks like an old lady doing us and I just want to say for the record
Not only do I have the DVD of her match with Trisha at WrestleMania 22
With a certain part edited out of it. Uh-huh. We watched it live
So I have the actual feed burned to DVD
Really, it is wow
Yes, there was a little moment in that match if you remember well that we always
I have the off
The we all remember the parts of the D was matches that are awesome. Yes
There was there was the the awkward turtle had walked through the room at a certain point in that match
I'm fighting through it. I'm fighting through it. I heard it
You know all that noise coming from over there and Doc still has a witness a theme song
Hey, I got I mean events eventually I had to get my own gobbles JPEG so if I'm saying you're talking
Bring it we need a theme song

Going to be rejoining the living very soon
So you remember you have to start getting up early to get yourself right in the right frame of mind
Special note, yes, they are going to change the I see and the US title built
As was talked about on this show last week
Thanks for listening
I just I just didn't know if you guys had it confirmed or if you just thought it was a room. No, it's happening
They just haven't unveiled them yet. So I leave the I see title the way it is
I love that Bell or mother was if you listen you know
Let's run the card shall we please now we now understand that the pre show is an hour and 27 minutes in
We have not watched any of the pre show because we were trying to finish up NXT takeover
So one of these matches has at least already happened, but
We don't know it so we're still going to predict it. There were two matches on the pre show first match
Sasha banks versus Nia jacks
Chad
Jacks L.A
Banks
Doc jacks still selling the injured jacks. Oh, let's see
Steven says Sasha I'm saying I jacks as well
This is the weirdest push I've seen in a long time
But Sasha doesn't really need this win
She's still Sasha banks acting
And WWE wrong tag team champions hit on the line
Yes, sir
Cesaro and she amous versus gallows in Anderson L.A
Hey
I need to give the clip these builds, but I know they're going to keep this Cesaro and shame is thing going
So I'll go with them doc
Cesaro and shame is but they're going to get again have another lover's quarrel at the end. Okay, don bull club Chad
Shame is a sorrow
I'm gonna go with the 1990s call now for this item reference and say the club. I think it's time
You've got to do something to further these guys. You're you're they're losing steam at an exponential rate
Let's get to the main and again. This is not in any way. I think we'll be the order of the actual show
This is just this the order's importance for me
This match will probably take place right before the rumble if I have any predicting ability
It is the six woman tag team match Becky Lynch Nikki Bella and Naomi versus Alexa bit Bliss
Mickey James and Natalia
aka the who cares man. That's actually a pre show
They put that there's three matches on the pressure on the pre show all right well then doc
The heels I'm at stink because I just saw it on the net so okay
Also heels from Steven Chad
What faces LA I think it's the heels to they're really trying to push Alexa bliss to the moon and
Because everybody's attracted her bit her bit it just doesn't work for each spoiler the faces one
And do take team champions. Oh really got that one all right
W w e cruiser right championship on the line
Rich swan versus
Neville don
Neville Chad never
Yeah, I level
Doc Cleats wait level
I am saying Neville is well, but I don't see
I
Steven did not predict this one
He's actually joined the fray this year for the for the picks by the way
Yes, I was here
Let's see w w we roll women's championship on the line
Charlotte flare versus Bailey
I'm by the way my pick is Neville just because
Rich swan looks homeless Chad
Charlotte will retain I'm sure LA
Oh
I'm intrigued by that by the way
I'm intrigued I know who's playing the curdle and that commercial could say I'm guy who is it?
Is that Billy's name?
LA
All right doc
Charlotte, but LA you and I need to go to Gus's fried chicken
Fort Worth because it's awesome. Okay, so if I'm meant this so okay there from anybody else from anybody else
LA is we're it's claiming racism but doc. It's okay
Dude, I know fried chicken. It's my own heart. It's done
Well, since Bailey wears Raven's colors. How can you go Charlotte? I think she'll get it at Mania
I'm with you
I actually Charlotte is predicted by Steven as well
I think they're saving the Bailey moment for WrestleMania
I think this is the start and I actually think WrestleMania would either be a triple threat or a fatal four-way
I think Sasha gets in
And I ejects gets in
Nia jacks maybe. I think there's another I think there's gonna be some kind of a trade
So somehow you get Becky Lynch involved so you have the four horsemen working or four horsemen working together
I don't like to play do stuff. No, that's so many
WWE champion chip on the one
That's the beat that Sam which if you know how we're seeing
You're just upstairs show us back to wheels off again. I love it the wheels were never on
AJ Styles AJ Styles one chain a
Doc
AJ versus one chain a yes, sir. I'm going with one chain a
Don
He's gonna get the record, but not probably till Mania or something when we make a big big big
So I'm I'm gonna go with AJ Chad AJ comes from Steven as well L. I
I'm gonna say AJ too. They're gonna wait on that stupid scene of I think here's what I think happens
I think AJ retains. I think AJ gets out of elimination chamber
I think John gets 16 at the Smackdown after Mania
Because now, but you have the brand split and you have the big raw show after WrestleMania
I think Smackdown's gonna try to do the same thing. I got the pull man's foot
Yeah, I kind of like that idea
Let's not forget
Green lit Green lit for new movie, so he won't even have it that long
That's true. That's why yeah, that's
WWE Universal champion chip on the line with Chris Jericho above the ring in a shark cage as a
Sexy pin yada has this direction a very sexy pin yada still
Jumping to shark though one of the funniest things I've heard her rod months was the sexy pin yada
Kevin Owens Roman Reigns done
fight Kelsey kill Chad
Reigns LA
When you go up a dude Kevin
Kevin
Doc
But all the boys down there at the at the round up. We're gonna have a great time watching this match with that beautiful prize
So Steven says Roman I
Think I think Owens wins, but there's shenanigans
There's going to be shenanigans Owens will retain
Just be and the only the only reason I say this I
Have to hold on to because it has to do with my prediction for the rumble
We're going somewhere with okay, all right now have you also heard that there's a possibility at WrestleMania
BFFs are gonna be dueling which is a Owens versus Jericho
That better not be your main event
All right, so let's talk about let's talk about the rumble itself again
Chad's favorite major of the year
30 man over the top row battle royal and my prediction was wrong. There's only one rumble. Thank you Jesus
Babies Jesus laying in the mains are all me can miles so I'm nippitent
Why is the one for the universe the champions? Oh, they can go with the one
Depends on who wins it, but they're only talking about going for the reason because you talk about it on each show as if one of their guys is gonna win
Did they do the same thing on spend you say half you say
Because you got to get past elimination. They should take me to WrestleMania. Yeah, all right, so here's your line up right now
We have one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
We only have 21 spots that we know of so we have nine variables that Chad caught it here. Welcome
You have no idea what he just did. That's genius sir. You remember the ladybug picnic from Sesame Street
Okay, very well played sir, so here's your lineup right now
Okay, real quick
Can you not go for any belt if you win or go out of surprise? I think you have to go for your brand
But they haven't said that specifically because remember the last time the brand split happened you could go for either
So
So here's who we have so far from the rob brand goldburg
Lesner all three members of the new day
Jericho bronze-scrowman
Cesaro and Shamus
Frenchy
Sami Zain who beats Seth Rollins on Monday night
Big cast and Rousseff

Baron Corbin Dean Ambrose the Miz Dolph Ziegler Bray Wyatt Randy Orton Luke Harper and the Undertaker
Ziegler
Yeah, Ziegler's an interesting. I thought it was Ziegler depends on who you asked. Okay. You're right. I
Use the King's English you do
We're splitting hairs on this show. Okay, so so here's what Steven said in his text message
Let me pull this up here. He said
It's tough. He has a feeling for Miz Jericho Orton or Samoa Joe
But he can't predict because this is the first rumble. He's been stumped on in about five years
I tend to agree with him. This field is weird man
We know who's not gonna get it. It's not gonna be goldburg. It's not gonna be let's well, let's get through the predictions
Chad will start with you. I think it's gonna be a great hold on. Oh, okay
Who will win the rumble who should win the rumble now who will win is your official prediction
Who should win is it's just for fun?
Gosh, I don't know who should win. I do do that. We do this part of it every year
I feel like it's gonna be a good night for
Forzina
You think the Orton wins I think the Orton wins it all first also for Missy don't but don't forget
Missy as well, but you know who I'd love to see win it naturally, but so your your hearts with taker
But your minds with Orton would not all right LA who should win who will win?
Who should win is these one of the surprise entrance. I don't care if that's
Samoa Joe
Fent Valor so to speak
Someone like that. I would love to see Finn, but I don't think he's ready. I think he's gonna be rates for us right now
I think he's ready. I'm just saying that's who should wear a surprise entrance should win
Okay, Doc who should oh, I was like, oh, who will win LA? Oh, I would say that they're gonna
Somehow blow it by doing a go-berg or something who stop it. I'm just gonna say go-berg
Okay, Doc who should win who will win who should win obviously raw band down
Yeah
And you know what they've been showing you know what the last two weeks in these Bailey
Video packages they have been showing pictures of her with him. Yeah, so during heart
Be shot
All right, I'm just saying there's a puncher's chance there
This is worth
God
God he could be in the rumboard
Go
Who will win oh you got that one cool
I've been here in a lot about Orton that's the big prediction
Okay, but I'm really split because I wasn't as one before has he not yes? Yes, okay. He's he's got
But I think I think that's a red harring. I think I'm gonna go for Dean Ambrose
All right, I'm gonna go for Ambrose Don who should win who will win who will win? I'm gonna go with Orton
Okay, now who should win? I was taking James L worth but no
I swear to God. I will throw something
To be the biggest rumble in history many important people are gonna be a part of this rumble
Okay, it's the wonder. It's it's a very luxurious rumble
San Antonio home to so many important events in history that I can't think of currently
It's great
All right, all right, who should win in the spring it's out would say either
Let's bring it down. I'd say Corbin should win or as the guy who is out
Who was the what's the name the Apollo crews? No, no, no, no, the guy who got injured this champion or whatever
But call a creep. No
The guy Valor Finn Valor yeah, like I'm I don't think he's ready
But I say that or Corbin. I think the world known wolf should win. I like that as if as a hoove, but who will win? I said Orton
Okay, I like that call
But I don't think I don't think you let him win the Andre Memorial Battle Royale and this that would be too much for a guy who's really
Still trying to find who he is
Who should win this rumble? I agree actually I'm going to agree on both parts with LA
Because who should win is a surprise entry whether it's Samoa Joe, which I think this is the year or Trump
Stop it. You did see that he and he and Obama are both
1,000 to 1 odds to win the rumble. He that is true. That's a true story
Who should win would be one of the surprises just like they do with Baron Corbin at WrestleMania like that was a cool thing
Who will win? I also agree with LA and I don't want to
Which is why I said what I said earlier
I think it's going to be Goldberg because he's he signed through WrestleMania
Booking Goldberg, Lesnar 3 for WrestleMania
You might as well write off WrestleMania. I think he signed because it's gonna be Goldberg take her though that is mine
I would love for that to happen. I think that's why he signed. I just
I what I don't want to happen as I don't want the rumble to come down to the two of them
I would love for somebody that's trying to eliminate Goldberg to eliminate Lesnar, and that's his next feud
Right, I think that would be a good way to book it
I you know we were talking about LA and I were talking about this to and pre-show
I wouldn't be surprised if
Rollins doesn't pull an edge at elimination chamber and a lip was a coat. There was a coffee coffee
And then got himself in
I'm gonna be interested to see because again, we have nine spots that are not taken and this was as a right before the show
So there's not one year where Mick Foley got him because he beat up the one guy in Austin
Just get in the ring get in the ring get in the ring. Oh, hey, no, edge did that twice
Yeah, edge did that for the elimination chamber
He also did that for the royal rug and because he lost the royal rubble and did it again and got himself back in
I just that's one of the things I love the most about the rumble is the surprise element of it
You're you're gonna have a legend of some form. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Booker T
I'm saying it now don't be shocked because Booker T's there
Yeah, I guess that he doesn't get into the rumble and it is in Texas also a very
Excellent one point Russ Sean won Sean won Sean won cuz Sean's done
Did you see the instability with JBL last night
No
He was watching and XT take over
On the network and so he tweets out a picture of his browser as he's watching the tag team match about to start
Which is fine
However
One of the other tabs in his browser
He was doing a search on nudes for some body building
Oh
And it is there like he tried to take it down, but you know how the internet goes when they find something
Yeah, yeah
I'll show you the story when we get out there because somebody actually posted the story on Facebook
And that's the thing about JBL though when you saw him on SmackDown when he stood up to
What was it that he stood up to?
Oh, he told uh was it Ziggler?
Yeah, like that joke is still go
Wait, wait, but the week before when he tried to come in on Jerry Laws
Let's make tripped over the poor though. He tripped over a cable
So that's why I think I mean it's it's gonna be Goldberg and I don't I as much as I like Bill
I don't want it to be bill because again for the second time in three years you had a part timer when the
Debatedly the biggest major of the year and because this is the paper view that sets up everything that's going to come and
You and it's another example of the WB force feeding you who would they want to see
Like Batista and Ryan Roman range
That's what got Roman Reigns on this track to hailed in the first place when in the rural rubble
So I I really hope I'm wrong
It's just a fray ready for me. I really really hope I'm wrong
But my gut is really really strong on this and I think this is like I said
Somebody's good the person that eliminates Lesner which I don't think will be Goldberg because I don't think you do that again
That's going to set up Lesner's next
What about Strowman you think he'll throw?
That'll be a good match
Strowman no it would be slow
I don't but still too big
What you got to look versus Mothra
I think Strowman
Strowman and French he would probably make more sense to me
So I also wouldn't be surprised to see you know again we're in Texas
Wouldn't be surprised to see the world strongest man either
In the rubble
He's from Sylvia and I wouldn't mind saying
That's not
If that happens and he rolls in with those TNA tag belts
The broken I
America collectively will pee on itself
Think about one of his biggest proponents is in the building
Can you imagine what my text message is going to look like from the great Steven Zimmerman if that man shows up imagine if it's the man who's bigger stronger than a piss
Brother Neerol swoggle
I just threw up over here so for those you the entire that are down in San Antonio have a great time tonight
Please get home safely
Again before we talk about next week we have to say
As the card stands right now
Chad grade the card. I give it a solid
See so you're sitting right there in a middle. Yeah. All right. All I see plus
Doc
I'm gonna give it
Right in the middle. Be because I am a hopeful of how it's gonna go and this surprises the rumble the breath of it will be see
But the rumble will pull a minus therefore average is a big rest everything. I mean good
Nothing. I said exactly what I've been okay. I love it. I have a good
Ending for the rumble. I would give it a day minus but I don't trust that song. Give it a P plus I am as you guys know
I am the perveyor of the silver lining
I am gonna say a minus. I'm not afraid to this point. I am not afraid to say a minus this paper
I bar this there's something about this rumble that
Inchriegs me it's the hype the remember the rumble is I don't know. No. That's not it because I don't like that campaign
I don't like that campaign. That's it all beating
But I just I'm really excited for this rumble
This is more excited than I've been in a long time for a royal rumble because there's so much variable because usually by now
We can pick out probably three or four of the variables
But that's what I do that's a third of a rumble
But that's a third of the rumble
You know a third of the of the nine slats is gonna be hallfamers, but sometimes because remember
Remember when we all jumped out of our shorts. I was gonna say this when Jericho showed up
Three years ago that was one of the greatest phone this last year with AJ
Showed up, but you kind of already got that leaked though
But I can tell you who's not gonna be there. Who's not?
Helper to a don't radio. Let's do the funs
That's gonna get you ready
Next week we're taking the week off because of the Super Bowl and we'll be back in two weeks for elimination
