Please initiatives will be held up next at M
It is 601 on the East Coast.
It is 301 on the West Coast.
It is the 20th of November in the year of our Lord 2016.
I do make an adjustment.
Season 7, Episode 20, 370 times this voice has welcomed you to the clubhouse podcast.
We are live on the air.
And if it sounds a little different than normal, it's because we are out of the studio and
out amongst the people.
We are live for the first time in two and a half years for a WWE pre-show on the unofficial
official pre-show.
We are live at the Henderson Taphouse in uptown Dallas.
Come join us just off central.
Go east the bow.
Probably three quarters of a mile.
Come join us.
We're going to be showing WWE Survivor Series in 58 minutes.
It is our official unofficial pre-show.
The insanity has already begun.
My name is Rob, and I'm on vacation this week, so it's going to be a good week.
Joining me to my right as he does every time we do a live remote show is my co-host.
And a man who could not be happier than the weather is brisking.
Food tastes a little better.
The sun shines a little brighter because again the Cowboys win.
He is Chad.
Welcome, sir.
Indeed, sir.
The air is a lot clearer, too.
Across from him is a man who is exing both him and L.A. because he has to make good on
a bet.
You may know of his fondango, he is the official fact checker at this show.
But his mom and I name him, Don Ford, I'm going to call him, Don Ford, welcome, sir.
Good time.
Oh, you can't say that.
That's not your bitch.
That's the bit of the man.
I'm not giving a lead in.
I'm not giving a lead in.
I'm giving a lead in.
I'm giving a lead in.
Joining us as we're home waiting for another special guest to come join us very, very soon.
Someone who's never done the show before is joining us tonight, really.
Yes.
He is the official man that just lets the wheels off every show that he's on.
He is John.
Doc, howls are welcome, sir.
Hello, my new chance.
I just, let's climb.
Oh, he's loud when he wants to be.
It's been good.
I must be heard.
Again, it's the final major of the year.
We want to let everybody know that sometimes tonight, if you are here at Henderson Taphouse
Henderson Taphouse is giving away a pair of tickets to the Royal Rumble in January.
It's going to be in San Antonio.
Think Chad just had a seizure or something.
I know.
I thought it was coming.
I just saw him.
We're not like that when Missy and Diane walked in because I haven't seen you that long.
Excuse me, guys.
And L.A.'s here.
Oh, God.
No.
No.
You guys.
No.
No.
They marks the calendar.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
And let me just.
I want to check the stats on that.
I want to say in a very official hot sports opinion, I'm going to mark this down.
I want everybody to mark it down right now.
I'm saying it right now.
The Cowboys will not finish below 500.
Wow.
Swinging a big bet there.
That's right.
I'm putting it out there.
We've got all the fans.
We've got something real special for God.
Fine.
Diane, go ahead.
The man owned it.
We always start every show with corrections.
We've got a couple from last week.
This is actually we talked about Gal Gadot being pregnant.
This is actually her second child, not her first.
We talked about Alex Bowman NASCAR driver, which by the way, NASCAR Finals are today.
Glenn Closepade Alex Forest.
For example.
That's Alex Bowman.
And Jesse McCartney played Robin on a young Justice, not Superboy.
I wouldn't sure.
So those are our corrections.
Normally, we are your one-stop shop for all things sports and entertainment at www.dottheclubhousepodcast.com.
But tonight's, or as we do every paper view, we've been doing them for six years now.
We are wrestling intensive.
Tonight's Stephen has just changed into his glorious t-shirts, which we'll talk about
here in just a moment.
We are sports entertainment focused for this particular episode, because we are 54 and
halfway from the start of www.survivor series live from the Air Canada Center in Toronto.
Where they've been all weekend.
Last night's NXT take over Toronto.
Great show.
NXT continues to deliver very well.
Spoiler alert.
If you haven't watched it, we had two title changes last night.
Because the DIY actually wins the NXT tag titles, and Samoa Joe regained the NXT title
from Shinsuke Nakamura, who again Shinsuke Nakamura with another great ring entrance
as well as Bobby Roode.
It was a really good card.
You guys are definitely going to have to check it out, because I really had a good time
watching it last night.
And make it James return.
The James did show back up.
She took on Oxa for the Oscar.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
For the NXT Women's title was not successful.
But they're an Oscar man.
She's just, she's performing on a different level right now.
That I want to people.
And it's even Mickey James who is one of the great female wrestlers of our time.
You just can't keep up with her.
She's just that good.
I mean, it's kind of cool that Oxa's kind of playing a tweener role because at the end
of the match after she won, Mickey went to shake her hand and Oxa, Oxa had the title in her
right hand.
And she just looked Mickey right in the eye and just raised the title instead of shaking her
hand.
It was a very, very cool moment.
Ty Dillinger had a great match with Bobby Root.
He did not win.
But it was a great moment because it was one of those moments where Bobby Root left and went
to the back.
And Dillinger was still in the ring and the fans were still chanting for him.
It was a really great moment.
Tonight, of course, is Survivor Series.
It has been announced that next year's Survivor Series is going to be in Houston.
So two of your four majors next year will be in the state of Texas and three out of
four in the Tiger Slam here.
Root trim.
Yep.
Don's done it twice for WrestleMania.
Yeah, Santonio.
That's what you were to Houston too.
No, no, I'm talking about it.
I'm doing a Root chip coming up.
You're going to, you're going to.
I'm thinking doing Rumble.
Yeah.
But I did the two WrestleMania 17.
Well, there's two people tonight that are going to be going with you because they're
given away tickets to that show.
Here in the tap house.
Right here tonight.
This place is down.
This is incredible.
It's a gorgeous facility.
I'm a huge fan.
Gus is here.
Good to see you, sir.
This is the man for those of you that are in the room.
This is the man that made sure this happened tonight.
So we thank him very much for putting in a good word with the people at tap house forest.
And who have been amazing, by the way.
Absolutely.
It's been to the people here.
I'm ready for a good job.
They're even a bathroom attendant.
Yes, they're in.
Yeah, I give them give them to me paper towels and tell them to give them a buck to stop
give them to me.
I mean, I don't know.
You gave me something different, but it cost me the 20 kids.
He's a family show.
Family show.
It'll be revoked several times throughout the show because he is my tonight.
Okay.
L.A. is a little fire.
That was not part of the back.
The bed is chicken.
And for those of you that listened to last week's show, the man that screamed like a
little girl.
Yes, that's him right there.
And it was funnier when I listened back to it than it was live.
And we also want to apologize for last week's.
We had some horrible technical issues, but for the interference that are on iTunes, we
worked them all out.
It took me a minute, but we worked them all out.
The week that was in our sports.
Remember last week we started a new segment on the show, Rob knows how to make you feel
old.
So we're going to do that segment right now.
Thursday night was the 20th anniversary of the rock's very first WWE match.
Good lord.
It was that MSG and they had a big celebration for him on Thursday night of MSG.
Yeah, he's coming out in the blue with my V&O team years ago last year.
And what about to take her?
Take her was 92.
Yeah.
That was this particular paper view in 92.
Oh, well, there's a match on the pre-shore.
Are we going to do a thing on that right now?
No, we're just going to give this one as a gamey because I got the other one.
Okay.
There's actually two matches on the pre-show.
Okay.
That's what we want to do.
Quick on this.
No, right now we have Devari versus Gulak.
I picked Gulak.
Devari.
I'm going, I don't know.
This might, is this going to be?
No.
Oh.
Are we doing?
Are we doing the cruiser weight?
Can I also raise that right now?
Are we doing the cruiser weights or biversaries now?
Yes, I do.
Oh, no.
They're doing there.
Oh, because remember, it's a regular cruiser weight match.
Never mind.
Are you expecting him to pull out a sword and say, I have the power.
I think he stole the bit from Triple H at WrestleMania.
No.
Who's the guy in TNA?
Well, you like Drake does that bit, too.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, that's why he works with a jump from Pulp Fiction.
What happens when he's three beers, then by the time the show started?
Oh, this is what happened with the Fiat.
So, the WrestleMania 33, they're actually going to reconfigure because they're doing
it in Orlando.
They're actually going to reconfigure a little bit.
They're going to move the stage back, so the stage will not be on the field proper
at all.
They're opening up more space.
So, to give more room for all their technical stuff, are they moving it back?
We also want to send a quick shout out because, again, WrestleMania was here in our fair
burg this year.
And we've heard from our friends that allied integrated marketing, who did an amazing
job?
Yes.
By the way, for all the WrestleMania.
I actually didn't sleep for a month.
You realize, WrestleMania two, record revenue in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
That weekend generated $170.4 million in the Dallas Fort Worth area.
That weekend.
So, congratulations to everybody involved in that for pulling off an amazing show and an
amazing weekend.
So, last week we talked about Vader having gotten in that car accident, because, you know,
sometimes things take a turn on you, we're now, we now find out this week, he's been
told he's got about two years to, a lot to live after a hard episode.
I get Vader, two years later, they're giving him two years.
So, we just hope we want to send our best to him and his family, some things go with.
The things maybe can pro-law in the world, he had a hard episode.
And that's what's the lead to that.
Let's talk about RAW this week.
Did anybody notice in the opening of RAW was this the first time in this particular run
that somebody said V Brian Kendrick?
Definitely referred to him as the Brian Kendrick.
Now I've heard it before.
I thought I'd heard it before too.
Yeah, I thought I'd heard it.
I heard it in this run.
Now I've heard it during this run.
Definitely.
Okay.
Fair enough.
And we ever be able to see the day where quote-on quote, security will be able to handle
anybody over the age of seven.
We've not seen that come in, but the ending was horror.
I mean, when you watch it, like, can you imagine people back at the gorilla position?
Going seriously, guys.
These guys are combined 19 feet tall and about three tons.
They weigh more than all of each one of the ways more than all of these guys together.
And they're going to keep them separated.
Really?
And you know what, hey, it again proves.
Hey, man, it proved what happened?
He said that GoPro got hurt in that practice.
He said that his body, his body's in rough shape right now.
Is that what that was from?
Oh, wow.
Hey, man, again proving why nobody plays the sniveling heel advocate better because
did you see how we referred to the security guys?
No.
These brave men in uniform.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God.
Bless you, hey, man.
His brave men in polo shirts.
It was a casual Monday.
I guess.
I don't know.
It's a little strange.
It's a little strange.
It's a security.
I mean, let's get to it.
They're basically the people at the independent shows in that area.
Yeah, that area.
Yeah.
It's still.
We've got to move on.
And we know that this is a little better.
I don't understand.
But that any was horrible.
I mean, nothing happened.
Oh, so this looks like it's a six man cruiser weight.
Yeah, I picked the baby faces.
They're going to win.
This is being broadcast live from the village station for this man.
To the quarter filled arena in near the center.
Well, if it's quarter filled, that's still bigger than the NAA audience.
Going back to the goal.
We're going back to the goal for the lesser segment.
Has goalburg Southern accent ever been his biggest.
It was one during the day.
So I wasn't doing it.
I wasn't doing it.
This was.
I was like, and you've talked about my family.
I mean, I know bills from Atlanta.
Well, no.
He's doing it in honor of Jamie Noble getting stabbed, you know.
Wow, sir.
I mean, he's played trippy.
He played trippy to Jamie Noble.
Oh, don't know the shout.
Wait, trippy to Jamie Noble, maybe.
I don't know.
You think?
But I really think it's still filled for you.
If it's paying tribute to anybody, it is the great underrated Jimmy Wang Yang.
Shit.
That's the right.
One of my, one of my indox favorite.
I love Jimmy Wang Yang.
Thank you.
That's what I have in my background.
It's awesome.
Still awesome to this very day.
I'm surprised.
I hope I can bring out a bucket of chicken though.
What do you want?
We talked about.
We talk about how Shane is looking more and more like Vince.
Every day.
He's now starting to sound more and more like Vince.
Every day because did you hear him?
Monday night when he said, the undurter.
He's like, we are two steps from him coming out doing the walk.
It's a long span.
He's got his own walk though.
Please don't do that.
He doesn't have a pretty cool walk though.
I'm not going to lie.
Unlike Rich Swan.
This guy's got to change his pants.
He dances like our truth, but he looks almost.
I don't know what's going on there.
All right.
You are listening to the clubhouse live.
We are at the Henderson Taphouse getting you ready for WWE Survivor Series.
Which starts in 45 minutes.
It's been a good Jimmy Wang.
Down here.
Jimmy Wang Yang now owns a pest control business called Jimmy's pest control.
That's Cincinnati.
Just an update on Jimmy Wang.
He is the fact checker.
This is making you happy or sad.
He calls his days truck the redneck party bus.
Okay.
So now you have me.
Yeah.
And princess party bus businesses.
So he has a party bus business and a passenger.
So he's an entrepreneur.
He's diversifying.
And that's important.
Yes.
You have to diversify.
Wow.
Remember tonight is a four hour pay per view.
So prepare yourself.
Or what's about to happen.
Do you worry if you're fluid intake?
Taste yourself.
Because you're going to have to go to the bathroom.
Taste yourself.
I have a question.
Sir.
Why do we have a link on the screen up up there for the free match?
That's his bit.
Yeah.
That's his bit.
He has to be manic in TNA.
He's all about the eight bit Nintendo.
Look.
Look on his intro and stuff like that.
That would explain the HB.
I thought it stood for something else.
But that's his point.
His point.
Yes.
He's on his own.
He's on his own.
No.
We've not seen care.
We've got another idea.
I know you did.
I know you did.
And I'm sure it's brilliant.
I'll keep it to myself.
After we get up there.
After we get up there.
Yes.
We get up there.
She would pack her.
No.
Not that yet.
You might want to order up a cup of hot bacon grease to have on hand.
I throw on him.
That only makes him stronger.
It really does.
The sauce of my power.
But we are live at Henderson Taphouse.
Just east of Central Expressway on Henderson Avenue.
And who come hang out with us.
It's the first time we've been able to be out for a paper view in a long long time.
We're very excited to be here.
Thanks again.
And remember, if you're here tonight.
There will be raffling off a pair of tickets to WWE Royal Rumble in January.
Almost.
It's sort of a survivor series.
I've eaten them all mixed up now because I'm so excited.
So if you get down here.
If you missed any part of the show, make sure you subscribe on iTunes because we do have that
uploaded for you.
It will be later tonight.
We do want to say a happy belated birthday to the official Justin Timberlake of this show.
Charlotte's birthday was yesterday.
Probably why she's drinking water right now.
Really?
No drinking for Charlotte this week.
Good for you.
But her net view is now named Hudsonna.
Very important.
I met him Friday night for the first time.
Could not be more adorable if he tried.
A lot of birthdays this week.
Some birthday comes up this Friday.
Friend of the show John Cobb.
We want to say a happy birthday to him as well.
Former guest of the show.
Also a couple of big anniversaries this week.
And for your cousin.
Yesterday, Mike and Jennifer Friday night.
Friends of the show Richard and Sarah had an anniversary.
As well.
A lot going on, sir.
There's a lot going on.
Let's get you back to some more headlines.
T-t-t-t-t.
Total bellows.
We're new for season two.
Shocking dime.
Actually, it is.
I actually am shocked by that because those ratings were declining rapidly.
Rapidly.
Just don't get it.
I don't get the bit.
I don't get the appeal of it at all.
After tonight.
Misty.
I want to pay attention.
She's back.
I don't know if she can hear me or not.
Orton's taking a week off after tonight.
Didn't ready for the birth of a child.
Oh.
His wife is due on Tuesday.
So congratulations to the Orton's.
Misty will neither confirm nor deny.
She's hiding it really well.
But she's an ninja bro.
We love our Misty.
We love her very much.
And she can't hear us.
She's not listening to us.
All this comic genius is completely going.
I've said it for years.
She's right straight ahead of you, sir.
There's a picture on the thing.
She's right behind it.
She's right there.
She's right straight ahead of you, sir.
There's a picture on the thing.
She's right behind it.
She's over there by Gus.
You're looking.
Right straight ahead of me.
I'm looking.
You see what I'm pointing right now.
All I see is Don's head.
She's right there by the water hose.
Well, I want some mention.
Orton.
So she has to, you know.
You got to calm her down.
See, okay.
There's this big empty table right here, right?
There's big one right here.
Look, just pass that.
There's a little divider.
She's right behind the divider.
See, I can't see it.
Misty.
She's not listening.
Well, you said Orton.
So she's in a trance right now.
Good.
We'll smack down notes.
So tonight we know that the Cruiserweight title is on the line.
And the winner of the Cruiserweight title dictates where the Cruiserweight division goes.
Right.
But for three weeks, we've been talking about this 205 live.
That's going to air after smack down, which is nobody weighing more than 205.
Isn't that kind of spoiling this match?
I think so.
Not a lot of fourth thought went into that.
There's no mystery here.
Because it's not like they're going to work both shows.
No.
Because that would make no sense.
Well, knocks out half the divas, too.
That's true.
That's true.
You know, maybe that's what's going to happen.
One show will have like a cruiserweight men's.
And you have a cruiserweight women's division too.
That would make sense.
That would absolutely make sense.
And what is the world?
I mean, 2016, let's just say it has been an odd year.
It's been a hard year here.
But does it make it any easier when Presongo is the voice of reason?
No.
Because the segment was backstage.
All of the tag teams involved in the tag team 10 on 10,
Survivor Series match.
And who's there to motivate them?
But the re-emergence of King Bookunk in his absence.
And I was like, oh, dear God, make this stop.
And the only way to make it stop was from Presongo.
This frightens me, yeah.
Presongo voice of reason.
This seriously concerns me.
And you know what?
With the new entranceway?
It made the undertaker's entrance that much cooler.
Yes, it did.
It really did.
I loved it with the new style of archway.
But I don't get that segment.
That's segmented.
I'm still trying to figure it out.
Yeah.
It's, I did like how we said WrestleMania will no longer define me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I liked that a lot.
It's like now let's move on to a new chapter.
What I think this is.
I think takers now back.
He's like, you know what?
I'm going to do this for a while.
I'm not going to write off into the sunset.
That's what I was hoping to do this correctly.
That's the way I took it.
But by the same token does that mean he has a presence at this thing tonight.
Considering this is where he got his start.
Absolutely.
Okay.
And we know H is in the building because H was on NXT take over last night.
I still love his line about taking souls and digging holes.
That was cool.
That was cool.
That's a t-shirt.
Right.
That was cool.
Taking souls and digging holes.
No.
Just let it go.
I'm going to do it a long time, sir.
I guess I'll go.
Someone else's t-shirt.
Let it go.
Let it go.
Why do you?
You have to be like this.
I don't chew that.
That was the man to my right.
I'm just saying.
Okay.
You know what for you, Rob?
I'll let this one go.
Yeah.
I appreciate that, sir.
I appreciate that.
That's what he lines up though.
Yeah.
Next please.
Please proceed with caution.
That's all I'm asking you to do.
What?
So nice.
I had to calm down.
Sit him up for a while.
Think about the Undertaker line and then think about Doc.
Okay.
Someone's saying.
I got it.
Crone man.
Sir.
You're a crone man.
Hey, VHS or beta.
You know who won.
And we know which one won.
And what?
Because the Disney, right?

Can you do that?
I'm going to find a way to do it.
So every time he thought, I'm just going to push that in a way.
I'm telling you what I was going to do.
But I was listening to it back.
I was just laughing.
My wife came out of the bedroom and went.
Oh, wow.
Was he like it?
Okay.
Here.
The bet was just the tattoo.
No gloating.
I'm a fan of the word.
Please.
Okay.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm a humble loser.
I'm a man of my word.
But hold on.
Just a dummy.
Yeah.
But let's make something known.
Because we have to talk about this on air.
Now that you both are here.
I want you to understand something.
Given Don's job.
There has to, you have to limit where it's going to be.
But, and I get that.
I get that.
I totally understand.
So, but Don will be getting a temporary tattoo of the Cowboys logo.
It's going to happen.
And we're going to do it on the shelf.
Yeah.
He's a real humble winner.
We're going to do it on the shelf.
He's a real humble winner.
I can sell.
This is going to be the best show ever.
You can email me if you'd like questions, comments, concerns.
Tell me to go pound sand.

Charlotte Parker is on Pinterest because we are morally obligated to say that.
Sitting next to Jill's mom is also on Pinterest because she's on Pinterest because
Charlotte Parker is on Pinterest.
So, that works.
Kevin Bacon.
And Jill's looks at me like huh.
Come on.
This is the next four and a half hours.
Oh, my dear God.
To get my house and even not shaving a haircut.
I think we all know that it's a code to get in.
So, we're just also the password.
It was Wi-Fi.
The entire thing shaved under score and under score.
Oh, my goodness.
We're having fun people.
We're having fun.
Okay, gentlemen.
It's time for us to run the card.
You guys ready?
Go on.
Go on.
We've already had one pre show match.
We've got another one coming up which was just announced today because I didn't know about it.
Luke Harper versus King Chad.
Harper.
Don.
Who cares?
I can say Harper.
Me so far.
He doesn't have to pick anything.
He's still win.
L.A.
Let's go with Harper because I like Harper.
Is he?
Because we don't boys.
Doc.
Okay.
Because of the fire and like just it's fire.
Come on.
It's Canada.
I need the heat.
I'm also saying King.
Fire wins every time.
Oh.
And what could be the match that could sour this card?
Brock Lesnar versus Goldberg.
Don.
Oh, Brock.
L.A.
Man, I'm going to go with Goldberg.
I just can give the face this one.
Doc.
Oh, sorry.
We're at Canada, right?
We aren't Canada.
There's a screw job amongst this.
So much real though, we're in.
We'll win by screw job.
Doc.
See, I'm going Goldberg by disqualification.
Chad.
I'll go along with L.A.
Because it's too close to Minnesota.
It is Canada.
It is a one off.
Lesnar's won too much.
I am saying Goldberg wins this just because they're not doing anything with it.
And as much as they screwed up that WrestleMania match,
the worst WrestleMania match.
Oh, the whole time.
I'm saying Goldberg.
Yeah, it just makes sense.
Intercontinental title on the line.
After SmackDown, it's not dull.
Ziegler.
It is now the Miz versus Sami Zayn.
Winner of this match takes the belt to their show, L.A.
I've been thinking about this for about five days.
Um, I think they take the belt.
What about the U.S. belt?
I'm going to say they're going to give Zayn his time.
So I go with Zayn.
I hate to go with Zayn.
But I'm going with Doc.
The Miz cuz he's awesome.
Chad, Miz.
I see a flip-off of the titles.
So I'm going to say Zayn.
I'm with Doc.
Here's what's going to happen.
I'm saying Sami Zayn wins this belt.
The problem that you have with that, though,
is that you put the Intercontinental and the U.S. on the same show.
This is why, and I'll go ahead and give away my prediction now.
SmackDown wins the male survivor series match.
Because remember, the winner of that match,
Zayn gets to take three people from the other show.
So they're going to pull Roman and that swaps the belts.
That's the only match that there is inside the cruiserweight match.
Yeah, the winner of the men's singles survivor series match,
that brand gets to take three people from the other show.
I'm talking to swap with the cruiser and I see.
You know, I'm saying.
Stay with us.
Stay with us because we're going to talk about that.
Yeah.
Cruiserweight title on the line.
The Brian Kendrick versus Calisto.
If Calisto wins, the entire cruiserweight division
comes to SmackDown.
Doc.
They're in Toronto, right?
They are.
Well, they're starting to like that kind of food.
So I'm going with Calisto.
Okay.
I'll go with Doc.
Doc's been the Toronto.
All right.
You take Calisto, Don.
Calisto.
Can't drink.
I don't think the franchise is moving.
I think it is.
And I'll tell you why.
We talked about this a little while ago.
With this 205 live thing they're doing,
that's going to be right after SmackDown.
That's pretty much your cruiserweight division.
So why would you have cruiser weights on Monday night?
And then cruiser weights have their own show after SmackDown on Tuesday night.
You have it either way.
Both of these rosters are so shallow as it is.
It's not going to matter.
So that's, that's where I'm going.
All right.
So we have three traditional Survivor Series matches this year.
I don't, it's been a long time since we'd had this many on one card.
We'll start with the tag team 10 on 10 because it's five teams versus five teams.
Now, this is a little bit different because it's not a traditional Survivor Series elimination match.
Stay with me.
The way this match works and they clarified this third Tuesday night in SmackDown.
Let's say big cast gets eliminated.
If cast gets eliminated, so does Enzo.
So you're eliminated by tag team, not by yourself.
Which is going to speed things up a little bit.
Which I still don't know if we're going to be able to fill four hours with this or not.
Oh, I'm going to give you the participants.
Yeah.
You're part participants.
From RAW, the new day,
Shameless and Cesaro, Anderson and Gallows, Enzo and Big cast and the shining stars.
Versus the SmackDown team of Beauty and the Man Beast,
The Height Bros, American Alpha, The Usos and Breezango.
RAW.
Done.
I'm going to go with the Raw team winning this.
All right.
Here we have to use Don's Money.
I just don't see the new day train.
Let it up anytime.
So not yet.
So honestly, do they retain?
Doc.
Again, if the new day come out with a unicorn or horns,
then the new day is going to win.
If they don't, they're going to lose.
I am saying for the sake of balance, RAW wins this.
And that's my only logic behind this for the sake of balance.
Because one brain is not going to win every match.
This is just for the sake of balance RAW wins this.
Okay.
I have no other logic to put behind it,
because we're not talking about wrestling.
The logic would happen to my thing.
Is it right here?
There it is.
Wrestling.
Logic.
It should have been better for a pair for that.
I apologize.
Now, the women survivor series match.
The shorter list of who's not in this match.
But Charlotte Flair, Bailey, Niajax, Alicia Fox and Sasha Banks.
Versus Nikki Bella Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Carmella and Naomi.
Don.
I'm going to go with the RAW team.
All right.
Ella.
Ah, smack down.
Just a trick it up.
Doc.
Well, I love crazy redheads and crazy redheads.
Love me.
So I've got to go with Becky Lynch and her team.
Chad.
Same thing.
I'm going to go with SmackDown here as well.
I think everybody's built up that Niajax is going to be the determining factor in this match.
But I think we might have oversold that a little bit.
I think that there's going to be somebody like a Becky Lynch that's going to figure out how to either get her pinned or submitted.
And once Nia is eliminated, it's over.
And she'll be the last one.
And there will be shenanigans in this match.
Cool, war.
Because the women have Natti as their coach.
But the RAW team doesn't have anybody in that capacity, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I thought they did.
I don't think they do.
Yeah.
That's just a SmackDown doing that.
Because I got what the man's with.
We don't dumb.
Did you see the whole bit with Natti talking to Alexa Bliss?
I thought Charlotte was hell in her.
No, Charlotte's the captain.
Just like Nikki's the cow.
Okay.
Okay.
With with Natti talking to Alexa Bliss.
And you get knocked down.
Oh yeah.
Get up again.
Chumbo Womba.
Really?
I think only SmackDown has like the coaches.
The women in the, yeah.
Yeah.
I don't think just don't.
I don't know.
SmackDown's men do.
That's one thing.
SmackDown.
That's one thing.
Yeah.
That's one thing.
But that match.
I mean, a pair.
I would hope this is going to be your main event.
The men's single Survivor Series match.
Kevin Owens.
Chris Jericho.
Roman Reigns.
Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins.
Versus AJ Styles.
Dean Ambrose.
Bray Wyatt.
Randy Orton.
And Shane McMahon.
Steven has a list.
LA.
So this determines pulling three stars.
Steven, is that still a thing, right?
The winning team pulls three members from the other team's roster, right?
Because that was, that was a stipulation originally.
That was like right as, as they were forming the teams, they said that.
I can't say that's the same stipulation.
But I mean, because we know how WWE is.
Wrestling logic.
Yeah.
Shane's not supposed to be a general manager.
Anything.
Head up in WWE.
But he lost her to take her by anyways.
That's fair.
I mean, I guess.
But I've never really talked about it.
But I do remember them saying it at one point.
I have a SmackDown winner regardless.
Okay, fair enough.
Yeah.
So, I mean, if they pull a Roman or something like that, cool.
But I don't see them pulling three stars from going to another.
It's wrestling logic.
That's fair.
All right.
So, L.A.
Final call.
I think somehow some way in a weird way SmackDown is going to pull it out.
Doc.
Well, you know how Randy Orton always comes up.
You are this, such and such.
Well, the thing is he's going away for a little bit.
So, they need someone else who is this, such and such.
So, they got to win.
So, they can pull other team people.
You know what that logic is sound.
If you're losing his people off their roster anyway.
Yeah.
I get that.
I'll agree with that.
Yeah.
I think SmackDown wins as well.
It's very hard.
But I think that SmackDown really is on a roll right now on multiple fronts.
And I think they really want to capitalize on the roll that SmackDown's on.
Well, it's consistently a better show.
My pick.
I pick and raw for the first two for the two minor.
And then SmackDown wins the big ones.
So, I might pick a SmackDown.
And then they'll take the two people from the shield, move them over, and he can have
the shield back on SmackDown.
I'm okay with that.
Because you like your since that's freaking wrong.
And I can take the shield.
Oh, oh, oh, shenanigans.
Because, like, Roman or whatever, might be the last two guys.
They lose intentionally shenanigans to make the shield and then they get moved over.
And turn them heal.
Yeah.
But you turn them heal.
You'd have to turn the Wyatt's face.
Because you've already got a faction.
Or somehow the shield does something together tonight.
All three.
One screw's up there.
There's show.
You know, or go attitude error with it and make the Wyatt's shield.
You are just, you're never going to let this go, are you?
The attitude here is not coming back.
The Wyatt's shield, courtesy of the biggest Cowboys fan in the room.
And if it happens, by the way, if it happens, we're never going to take it.
Right.
It's great.
Yep.
Like a change our name.
When we start hearing, then I agree with you.
Do you know why?
When there's a possibility of Madame Secretary McMahon.
It's true.
Yeah.
Commerce.
Yep.
You're saying.
Madame Secretary.
Look, McMahon.
God.
You imagine the dueling.
You're fired.
You're fired.
You're fired.
I'm just saying.
Shoot.
Okay.
We get to grading the card.
There's a theory I want to float to you gentlemen.
Okay.
Let's hear it.
And it's one that kind of frightens me.
The Flying spaghetti monster?
Well, there's that.
We know that, by the way, again, maybe we're going to be raffle and off tickets later tonight
for two tickets to the Royal Rumble, which we also know now the Rumble is going to be four hours.
Thursday night.
And maybe it's because it was more over now.
We have to grade on a curve here.
Great.
There you go.
Did you have a job?
Drug test.
I'm just wondering.
He's the reason we started that Luxicon bet.
Keep that mind.
Excuse me.
I'm not going to take insults for somebody who loves buy and freaking sad.
Hey.
I mean, it's a hall of favor.
Um, of spares.
So my theory is.
More of said on Tuesday night.
You want to take Thursday night.
I'm so on SmackDown Thursday.
That this was going to be the only time at the brands.
We went up against each other.
So does that mean we're going to get two separate rumbles?
This scares me.
I see a women's rubble, possibly.
I'm okay with a women's rubble.
But.
Everybody wins.
One of two things happens.
You're either going to get two separate brand rumbles or we're going back to the 40 man.
The 40 man format.
Which I'm okay with.
I enjoyed the 40 man format.
And I'm and I agree with Steven.
If we're going to do this, the man on that shirt better have his music play during the rumble in January.
Or no, do that.
That entrance at Toronto last night was for, did you watch it get LA?
It was brilliant.
Or they could do.
It was what they called brilliant.
They could.
They can't do 220 man rumbles.
What does.
But that's what I'm saying.
I don't want that.
I don't want that.
40 man.
I'm good.
40 man rumbles.
That's way to go.
And then the winner gets the pick which title he goes after.
Yep.
So.
All right.
So last thing before we start to close up shop and let everybody get ready for the paper view.
LA don't go anywhere.
You got one more thing to do.
As the card stands right now.
Chad.
Great.
The card.
It has the potential to be a B minus.
Is that what you're rating it?
Yes.
Done.
Due to its four hours.
There's only six matches scheduled.
I'm giving it like a C minus.
Okay.
LA.
Solid B.
Doc.
Rock solid B because I'm predicting shenanigans, galore and lots of drama.
I am going to agree with Doc.
I think that this is the last major of the year.
You know, we're going into the last two paper views of the year.
We have TLC in two weeks.
We have roadblock two weeks after that to close out the year.
In the burg.
In the burg.
That's right.
So Dallas and the burg.
On the last two.
So King did win.
King wins.
All right.
King wins.
I don't know what burg he's done.
Sorry.
The burg.
He's the word.
I was not a way.
Oh, my, my.
Let me just say we take up a man.
We brothers up there.
Okay.
We've got people getting filing in now.
We've got a Samoa Joe shirt in the crowd.
Great performance by Samoa Joe last night.
Your new NXT champion.
What a great show.
I cannot say enough great things about what that show is.
If you haven't, go after the paperview tonight.
Go back and watch NXT take over Toronto.
It was it's about two hours and 40 minutes.
That thing ran.
I was stealing when we first got here.
I don't know.
I mean, both that tag team and that NXT title match were both amazing.
Because the other tag team title match was best two out of three falls.
It shouldn't seem much anymore.
When it was DIY versus the revival.
And I think I don't know if anybody disagrees with this.
Right now the revival is probably one of the best tag teams.
Walking up.
What an it.
I love this shirt.
No flips just fists.
I'm sorry.
You're with the revival when they move them up.
They're going to do another ascension on them.
But if you're the revival, maybe you go.
And that's what we're going to need an hour talking about too.
Like Joe, I don't think Joe wants to move.
I think Joe's like, I'm perfectly happy here.
I can mentor these young guys.
I don't have to do the travel schedule as badly as the main roasters do.
I'm kind of okay with this.
Oh, by the way, something we didn't mention.
The plan right now starting with WrestleMania.
All four majors.
The entire weekend will be in the same city.
They're going to probably have the same venue.
So NXT take over the paper view.
Raw and SmackDown.
All the same arena for all four majors starting with wrestling.
So I mean, I don't think it's a smart business.
Yeah, they did all that except SmackDown here last time.
But they're going to do them all together now.
Which I think is a smart move because it cuts your costs a little bit.
Yeah.
It gets everybody centralized.
And it gives everybody in that chance.
And that city a chance to see all of their favorite performers.
Yeah.
Now, you can't do that with the separate paper views.
But with the majors, you absolutely can't.
Oh, yeah.
So don't forget, get out here to Henderson Taphouse.
I'm seeing, I got a stone cold T-shirt over here.
People are starting to file in.
It's going to be a great paper view.
They're going to give away a pair of tickets to the Royal Rumble Dude.
This is huge.
And I'm going to win them.
Not that you're already going.
I'm going to win them.
Oh, you're going to.
Okay, there's for it.
Yeah, I'm going to go.
All right.
So we're already too.
I think anybody who roots for Pittsburgh.
It's all about dubious.
Right now.
Okay.
I'll let you play Cleveland.
Hey.
Wins of win.
Complainus.
Complainus.
All right, gentlemen.
We wanted to do the plugs here.
Chad, you ready?
Yeah, before.
Please.
Let's end this thing.
The merch.
That's not.
Next is the cowboy.
