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 You are listening to the clubhouse podcast.

Very excited that her husband is 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 From Smackdown 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.
