Special Edition WWE TLC 2014

Packing up your thunder,
out a riot without us.
And because I was from this way, I can't love anybody through my veins, they don't
But they don't stop this train, so help our Lord, get out the way, get us out!
In a 702 on the East Coast, it is 402 on the West Coast.
It is the 14th of December in the year of our Lord, 2014.
It is Season 5.
But so 20, sequentially episode 279, the clubhouse is live and on the air, we welcome each
and every one of you individually.
Whether you're listening live right here on your stream, whether you're listening on
our archive, or whether you're listening via iTunes.
We don't care how you're here, we're just glad you're here.
My name is Rob, and it is time for the WWETLCS.
He's like, there's multiple TLCS, I don't know that means joining me to my right
as he tends to do each and every week is a man who knows the multiple meanings of TLC,
up close and personal, and I don't know what that means, he is chat and welcome sir, what
am I supposed to do with that?
I don't know, very a bunch in the hit-a-home on every time he was a bad tone said,
I'm digging this theme song, right?
I'm glad you said so, it is 1000 foot crutch, which is a Christian band, by the way, pretty
good.
It's called Born This Way from their brand new album, it is the official theme for TLC,
and any excuse for me to play a little TFK, I'm good with.
We're here's how we do this, we're going to be wrestling intensive tonight, normally
we are your one-stop shopper, all-thing sports entertainment, but it's paperview Sunday.
We got a focus on that.
We're going to talk about the week that was in our sport, we're going to run the card
for you, we're going to create the card.
But before we get to that, I can't believe I forgot the open in the playlist tonight.
We didn't get the sooner or later open in ten nights.
Oh, that is kind of a, yeah, it's because I forgot, that's all that means.
But let's talk a little bit of corrections from last week's show, we were clean as
far as I know, that's something you heard that I didn't.
The next two shows after tonight are going to be a little different, because we have
to do our best and worst of the year coming up for the next two weeks, because
there's only two Sundays left in the year of our Lord, 2014.
The worst is going to be tough.
Not for me, it's not, brother.
Well, you saw a lot more screenings.
But we do have a little bit of business to take care of before we get into the podcast,
because we are live from an undisclosed location, and the official fact checker of this
show, Font Don Go is here, so I need him to come up to the, to the isolated studio
room that we have here in our undisclosed location.
Don had a birthday a couple of months ago, and because I'm very timely, I just now got
his present in the mail yesterday, so Don, if you'll reach over to that chair right there,
it's probably sitting there for you.
It's not my laptop bag.
It's not you'd like that.
It's a T-shirt from our friends at shirtpunch.com.
It looks like there's a pocket in the shirt, and toothless is sitting in the pocket.
So I thought she would enjoy that, sir.
You're very welcome, sorry, it's so late.
Yeah, it was on, I think about the sights like shirtpunch and things, they just take
for ever to get to your stuff.
Oh, you're very welcome, so I'm sure you got that.
You're very, very welcome, sir.
Any other business that we need to take care of before we dive right in?
None of them have a way of, sir, you're driving this car.
All right, let's get moving.
The Runch line report will be coming next week, assuming you show up for the show.
That's docking the background, by the way.
So, okay, we'll bring it next week.
So we found out this week that it may not be undertaken sting for WrestleMania 31.
What are you listening to right now?
Yes, Undertaker, Bray Wyatt?
No.
I'm on board.
You'd rather have Undertaker, Bray Wyatt than Undertaker's sting.
Did I hear you correct?
Do what?
You'd rather have Undertaker, Wyatt than Undertaker's sting.
Am I hearing you correctly?
I didn't say I'd rather have it that way, but if it wound up that way, I wouldn't be as upset.
Because I honestly believe, I guess I'm eating on the air.
I'm worried at this point about Undertaker's sting.
I feel like that match could be a little bit slower than it needs to be.
At this point?
Undertaker's sting?
Yes, maybe so.
Not as fast-paced and as high-spots as it would have been, say, five years ago.
No, for either one of them, but it's not exactly like Bray Wyatt is a
luchador level.
But also, if you give me the B-roll, the B option of Triple H sting, I'm good with that too.
If Sting isn't involved in this match at the other check, I'm going to be extremely let down.
Because as we know, he talked about last week, Sting's only contractive for five parents.
So he's already done one, one.
And we're predicting that the rumble will be too.
Speaking of paper views, I don't know if you saw this, but it is now official.
Your February paper view will be WWE fast-paced.
So we'd either officially moved or gotten rid of the chamber.
They've gotten rid of the chamber, that's the shame.
I agree.
Chambers one of my favorite kind of matches.
Yeah, it's one of those few gimmick matches that still are a fact.
But the rumble still is that the chamber is going to be your June paper view.
And the winner of the chamber gets the title shot at Summerslam.
So that kind of still makes more sense to us as long as they don't get rid of the chamber.
Yeah, but that's what I'm hearing.
And there's nothing solid about that yet.
But that's what I'm hearing at this point.
And if you're going to do that, I'm cool with it.
Because it helps you move it up to you.
It helps you set up the major.
Yeah.
Because right now, I mean, when was the last time you had a really good program
that was a lead in to Summerslam, which is a major.
And I'm really starting to doubt how much of a major they're considering Summerslam any more.
Because it doesn't really seem like.
I'm still counting it.
No, no, yes, you should still count it because it was one of the original.
But it's almost like they don't take it as seriously as they probably should
considering the important part of the summer quote-unquote.
The biggest part of the summer treated is such.
I swear, what?
I'm with you on that.
But the wrong way with that, I'm trying to get multiple windows working here.
So interesting.
I don't know if you've heard this headline coming up this week.
They came out this week.
And this is the only way I could get music for this part.
The network, I don't know if you saw this headline this week,
Steven Zimmerman said, over here, the network will be doing a feature
where a faction takes over the network for the day.
Oh, no.
You hear the music in the background?
You know, we're going with this.
I do.
The BWO will be taking over the network for a day sometime.
So the Blue Meanie, Stevie Richards,
and who was the other guy that was making fun of macho man?
Wasn't that Rico in the WWE?
So that's going to happen.
The BWO is going to get their own day on the network.
Because we've been clamoring for the return of the Blue Meanie, apparently.
How did they not get sued by Apple or records for that?
Guess where they just considering it parody and so was okay.
Yeah, thanks so.
Because I mean, the Beatles is going to sue somebody.
And I think they be well with them. They're right to at least try it.
So we're talking, uh, got some interesting information about total divas season three this past week.
Naomi and Summer Ray out.
Summer Ray has not been confirmed that Naomi confirmed it today.
That they are out on the next season of total divas. Really?
How bad do you have to screw up to be?
No, no, that I think that's their own choice.
Oh, is that what it is?
And me personally, I was out six months ago.
So, I wasn't even out of the show.
I just, when a show goes out of its way to insult my intelligence, I cannot watch that show.
Yeah, you remember that speech that you gave us all those years ago, McMahon?
You know, we clamor for realistic storylines.
And we still are, apparently, I will never forget that.
We frankly here at the WWE have to think that the, that the WWE of universe is tied up having
their intelligence insulted. You know, you're a big man. It's pretty good. I'm going to even credit for that.
I was winging it, too.
I remember those words coming in him looking directly in the camera. He was talking to me, Dad Gunnett.
I don't think he meant what he said.
Yeah, when, when, when, when.
Vince, everything Vince says you have to take with a grain of salt.
I think he was extremely enthusiastic.
Members of the BWM from, from Don. You had big Stevie cool.
Oh, God. Hollywood Nova, Nova, who became, I believe he became Rico, didn't he?
The blue guy, the blue guy.
Shastity, Thomas the inchworm rodman.
Their parody of Waltman was 7-11. Also known as 3.5.
This has got three. The Nacho Man Ricky salvage.
And they actually had the W.O. Japan.
Oh, Taka Mishinoku, Terry Boy, and Dick Togo.
Okay, this was a fail when they did it back then.
What makes them think that it's going to go over any better than a lead balloon today?
Who is it? Mike Boochie?
He was Simon Dean. That's who he was in the end.
It did WWE. He was Simon Dean. See that self-righteous, uh, the fitness guy. Yeah, yeah.
All right, you ready to talk about rock? Yeah, let's move on from this.
You know what, we're going to talk a little bit about Monday Night RAW right now. I've said it before.
I will say it again. JBL, be a heel or be a face. Pick a side.
You cannot be a tweener as an announcer. That's just my thought.
I think we need to go back to just let and let and King be the heel announcer.
I've just become such a cartoon of himself. I've just, I never have been a fan of the heel announcer
regardless. I just don't like that role.
But as we know, Sunday Night was, or Monday Night was the slammy's,
but you know, you were very upset that you missed. Oh, yeah, it's crutch.
Oh, you're that yon in the middle of it.
In the age of the internet, can we really have surprise come back of the year?
Although with rock winning, did he win?
Right, but that was then he did win for that. When he showed up like nobody, when they were in Brooklyn,
he just showed up and cut the promo on Bruce Evans.
And like he did, he did a tweet like right before us that we're live in three, two, one, and then there he was.
I mean, that didn't surprise me. Did not see that coming.
But I just think in the age of the internet, when you have all these
surprise, I like a couple of them that they put up like Batista, they've been teasing that for a month.
So how is that a surprise come back?
Are you read the winners? Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure we say the quote on quote winners.
Good Lord this list is forever old. They gave away a ton of them.
Okay, let me see.
Look if we're coming back of the year? No, surprise.
Oh, surprise. Come back of them back in the year, into the rock.
For the raw at the bar clay center. Surprise return to the year.
We had the rock returns to interrupt, Bruce Evans and Lana, and that's the winner.
Batista, is that the winner? That's what I thought it was.
Because I think the one at the top in bold must have been the winner.
Uh-huh. Batista returns on raw, which was wrong because he teased it for a month.
Hogan returns as the guest host of WrestleMania 30, which we knew which they announced that morning.
Ultimate warrior returns to the WWE at the 24 24 24.
Which I wouldn't have been okay if he didn't want that.
Because according to this, it looks like he did.
According to this list, it looks like he did.
Maybe at the top of the list, and it's in bold.
Like can you can you specifically remember another winner?
You know, one of you guys? I just remember Roman Reigns was super star of the year and AJ was
even the year. This is awesome moment of the year apparently with a sting day viewing to help team
scene of the season authority that is correct. Okay, so the very top choice here.
Okay, so it was warrior. Yeah, it was warrior.
And warrior, I mean, I'm okay with that because as we knew as those of us that follow the IWC,
we weren't sure he was going to show up until it happened.
Even those backstage were like weren't sure if he was actually going to make it.
Are you kidding? They had a hashtag of the year. They sure did.
RKO out of nowhere. Hashtag RKO out of nowhere.
And I'm going to keep my blood pressure low for this next bit because
I really think sometimes the WWE does things just to make me mad.
That's a stretch.
You want to guess what they did? I'm Monday night.
What did they instruct you had to install the app? You are absolutely
joking. They did it and they use the old graphics and everything which it looked nothing like the way you do it on an iPhone.
I really think they do things just to upset me sometimes. I want to I want to start bashing my head against
this microphone, but he just won't be ineffective sound.
We need a cowbell tree behind me right about now. I was just you got to be kidding me, really?
I did like at that one time where AJ Lee actually asked Michael Cole how to install the app on her
phone. That made me happy. And we got Natty got a win. Did she? Natty, now the circumstances there
was a little weird because she beat current NXT women's champion Charlotte Flair who I did her
theme song. Her theme song is kind of like a modern poppy version of the Spark Methuselah.
I actually downloaded it. I haven't. I don't know if I've got it. We might actually we do have it later to play.
But we're going to talk about NXT our evolution. That took place on Thursday night.
And I have an idea. And Steven, I'm glad you're here because I want to run this by you too.
Right now I'm looking at the pre-shows on and and Miss and Miss Dauer on the screen.
And I thought I heard them say this on Monday night, but they didn't, but they should have.
They should not refer to Miss Dauer's titles as stunt titles.
They should refer to them as subtitles.
There you go. All right. Oh, yeah. I got to give you props on that one.
That I'm on. I thought I heard JBL say that. I started lapping hysterically.
And I re wound it and he actually said stunt titles, but I was like, Oh, come on.
How do you not call those the subtitles? They're smaller and everything.
Now, if it happens tomorrow night, somebody's listening to this show. Yeah, we got it. We got a
call shenanigans on you. You heard it here first. I was proud of myself for that.
I was in my living room gigaling all by myself.
Isn't the first time that's happened. But that's a different issue.
You are listening to the clubhouse. We are live every Sunday night, seven Eastern,
four Pacific, you're one stop shop for all things sports and entertainment. The pre-show is on the
WWE network and what is going on with Renee Young? She's got like a silver,
skin type blouse thing going on. It's like somebody wrapped her in foil. I'm not sure what's going
on there. He dresses a baked potato, maybe? I mean, I like to Renee Young. Don't get me wrong. It's
pretty girl. But once you hear the list, you can never not hear the list with her, which is weird for me.
So we do have some impact news.
Impact is going to start with, had they said it's going to be live or live on tape for the first one?
So it's going to be straight live, not like two hours before like they did there for a minute.
So when is they January seven? There will be a live impact on destination America,
which are like, okay, great. They're making strides. They're moving forward. We have positive
yardage. And then it goes to a regular time slot the following week at nine Eastern Friday nights.
No. Yep. So as soon as SmackDown moves the Thursdays,
impact goes to Fridays in the death slot. But this is your flagship show.
Uh-huh. Allegedly. We couldn't keep down on Wednesdays.
Or are we doing another episode of Hillbilly Blood that just has to be shown?
Now, there, there is a new, uh, a new program promo, the FEP, the FEP, the FEP, the FEP,
a new promo that destination America is currently circulating with a brand new logo. Have you
looked it up yet? No. Look it up. It's pretty sharp. I like the new impact logo.
They are also going to be due a, hold on a second.
Careful. Um, we're going to do a Saturday morning recap show called Impact Wrestling Unlocked.
That's going to have extra content and it quote unquote never before seen footage.
Unless you have the internet. Um, my, my question and Steven and I were talking about this a
little bit in the pre show. Why would you do a Saturday morning recap show if your show's
on Friday night? You couldn't wait till Sunday. Do you like the old All-American wrestling on
USA? It's not one of the bottom-left corner. That thing? Yeah. It's pretty sharp looking, right?
It looks like the perfect dark logo, man. It's got the little six-sided ring on it. It's kind of
slick. Let me, let me find the perfect dark. I like it. I want board. I always thought that I don't
like it, but it looks like the perfect dark logo. And tonight is the finale for the amazing race,
a brook test marker and Robbie E are in the finals. They actually had to get in through a, uh,
an additional competition last week and want it. I can see where you would say that like the one
perfect dark zero is probably the one you're thinking of, right? I can see how you would say that,
Steven. Think like that. I can see that. Yeah. I like it, though. It's good. It's a good looking logo.
It's not that I had dislike. It doesn't look like somebody just typed something in a photo shop.
It said, here you go. And oh, we're going to change the colors, which has changed the colors
of what we have now. It's fun. I do miss the old TNA logo, though. The scratch one, the scratch
one, I like that. I like just like I missed the old exhibition title. The round one, I really
don't that. I don't know why they had to change that. So are they not changing the TNA logo? They're
keeping it as is because it's not, I see it's not a part of this logo. That TNA logo hasn't been
there in a while, sir. They haven't used that logo, but it's been impact wrestling. But they still
call it TNA, which if they're going to reboot the whole ship, I'm just wondering if they're going
to change the logo of the company, too. I don't know. But of course, no impact talk because
there is no impact on certain impact. Not until January the 7th, I'll have gone and come back
from vacation by that. If it gives you any reference to how long we're going to be like that.
Not that you care, not that I'm blessed. I won't exactly say I have been missing in that. We are
going to have, thank you all for space. We are actually going to have a little bit of NXT talk tonight
because NXT had their R evolution. That's how they wrote it. That's how I'm pronouncing it.
Event where they did the takeover on Thursday. This is the NXT theme. What do you think about this?
This is the NXT. Who is this? It's just that CFO dollar sign group that does all their stuff.
I kind of like it. I did it. It's Ketch's brother's garage fan.
He called Rora the crowd. So we have a brand new NXT champion.
Which I am of two minds on. We'll just talk about this first instead though because there's
what I have next. Kevin Owens, you also know him as Kevin Steam had his debut in one.
The question I posed this evening in the pre-show is how long before he gets called up. He's saying
about a month and a half. I think it's probably about right. Because they got to get some of
this new blood up in there. But interesting though, we talked a couple of weeks ago about
Brittany from TNA. I also noticed Santana Garrett. Her contract ran out. They did not renew it.
She was backstage. NXT R evolution. I like her. She's got skills.
So I guess this her insamial shopings dead in the water. So there's that also.
Ah yes. The NXT Women's title was defended. Charlotte retains. This is her theme song by the way.
Sounds like something to find new order in the early 90s.
Oh okay. Do I'm saying now? Do you like that? Not really. I dig it. I like her theme music. That's
kind of slapping it in the face. It is made. I'm expecting Blake to come walking in and clear
the freaking room of vampires. That'd be awesome. Could we get the demon from WCW on the wall too?
No, let's not ever do that ever ever again. Then this sound like New Order's confusion a little bit.
I can see how you go there. But I like it. And also, you have a new NXT champion.
And his name is Sami Zan. It's a very excited about. On one hand, because the guys getting
the recognition he deserves, I just wish they had to kind of work the old El Generico theme
and do it somehow. Because when he comes up, people still go, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey, oh, hey,
let's still do it. Does everybody knows the term? But I'm sad about it, though, because now that
he's NXT champion, I don't know how much longer it's going to take to get him full time on the roster.
Because you've never watched this guy work. He's a guy on the right in that picture. That's Sami Zan on the right.
Well, people are just going nuts. I was telling you, we were just, Steven, I were talking about
before the show. He said he was looking at ratings. It got a 9.6 out of 10. And it's gotten so much
attention that even the main roster has said, dude, we got to up our game for TLCS.
So hopefully that's going to maybe motivate some people because I'm telling you, and even triple
H has been like, look, this was one of the best shows we've ever produced. I mean, yeah, I mean,
the folks at 411mania.com are calling it the perfect wrestling show with a question mark. Yeah,
let's be honest, got a question mark on the other side. The perfect wrestling show. But, you know,
if you've got the network, you can watch it right now and they probably want you to wait till after
TLC. But you can watch it on the archive. And I may do that. Yeah, this guy is,
he says, got with the body paint. Yeah, that's how you do body paint. Somebody send that picture
to Jeff Hardy. That's how you do that. But they say he's only going to do it for like special
occasions. It's not going to be a weekly thing for him. By the way, NXT, which just air every Wednesday
night on the network, what's his name? Finn Baylor. Finn Baylor. Oh, you pulled up his entrance?
That was the video is. Yeah.
And the first Vignette for the ascension coming up to the main roster aired on Friday night.
I like it. I'm looking forward to seeing them. They've got kind of a road warrior thing going on.
But you know how much of a road warrior fan I am indeed. So, well, if you're not a fan of
the road warriors and something's kind of wrong, you're a communist. If you're if you're a wrestling fan
and you're not a road warrior fan, something wrong with you.
Well, like we need to be told that there's something wrong with JP.
Also a fair point. Love you, but you're you're not right in the head. Also, Brian Kendrick,
getting a try out with WWE to be a trainer at the performance center.
The bright Kendrick, and also possibly tonight a title changes sorts
because of rumors of Rusev and Wana saying no more US title and bringing back to your
opinion title. The highly prestigious according to Shawn Michaels,
European championship. My coveted it. My coveted it, that's what it was. My coveted
tap tap European championship. He could not have given more of a crowd about that. But you know
it, but if you read the book, Vince told him, treat that like the world title and don't go on
if he didn't. Don't go on if he didn't. It was a key to a billion dollar winning lottery ticket.
But that was the genius of Shawn Michaels, because Shawn could sell back.
Shawn could sell ice to Escoboes in the late 90s. I think you could sell a ketchup
popsicle to a blind lady wearing white gloves. I listed a couple of quick SmackDown points.
You want to know how good of a heel Seth Rollins is? If you watch SmackDown on Friday night,
he actually got that crowd to champ seen his name. That's how good of a heel Seth Rollins is.
They were chintin' seen us. I was like, what's going on? Is it 2002 again?
And I missed it. We've now we've now entered a parallel universe where not everybody hates seen
a phone. Oh, I was watching SmackDown like, this is really happening.
Wow, this guy's entrance actually takes longer than Baker. I was going to say it's still going.
It's still going. What's the total runtime on it? Well, he's just got in the ring and it's at
2018. I loved that NXT set too. How it's got that kind of old school slash new school feel to it?
He looks like a character from Resident Evil or something. And I got a question for you.
With the Usos? Aren't we past the point where they have to do though when we say Usos,
you say, oh, just do the thing? I think we get it by now. We know how it works. It's the bit. It's the bit.
LL Cooljay, you are not. I mean, I get the bit do the bit. You don't have to explain the bit.
And I'm more of a DJ. No, I'm more of a DJ Cooler, Douggy fresh thing.
But not who wasn't that used to be DJ Rand wasn't he the one on Nitro?
Oh, God. I want to know which section is to rename the loudest. It's all up in your area. Shut up!
Wasn't he the reason the chair shot was invented? I hated that guy. If you're a fuckmaster,
flex wannabe. You need to check it to a different career path.
All right, you're listening to Clubhouse Live. Or you might be listening recorded. We're good either way.
But if you're listening and it's 730 Eastern or you are on December the 14th, and you're listening
on and we're okay with that. It is TLC Night. We will be back to our abnormal format next Sunday.
Also make sure you're subscribing on iTunes, so you can get a lot of extra stuff that we don't
do on the normal shows. It's kind of our superstars, if you will. Normal. I said abnormal.
Well, you said our normal show. You said abnormal show. You said abnormal or the first one. Okay,
fair enough. It's time to run the run the cards. This is going to be a no specific order just
what I put the order of importance in. The match going on right now. And I know you're missing it.
We're going to go as quickly as you can, so you can catch as much of the bit as you can.
You're a pre show match the new day. Biggie and Copi Kingston taking on golden star dust.
So now he's rocking green face. Oh, is he green tonight?
So he's gone from blue to red to green. What did you know? Oh, you didn't watch Smackdown. But on Smackdown,
he had gone to the red, but he had changed the color of the contacts. Which was weird.
So Cody's rocking the green now. I just love how he's embraced this. I just loved it.
And you know, I'm going to go ahead and say the heels win this because I think you really need to
build this program. Because really this is the only tag team that they need to be because you have
this whole new day versus the darkness kind of a thing. I think the heels win tonight.
And it's just about to get underway, so I can actually predict that.
Sir, I just, you think new day wins. Even says the new day.
Oh, new day in the essentially that would be fun. Yeah, I'll go with that. All right, fair enough.
In a chairs match, which this match may be as stiff as the material involved.
Right back in Tane. This could not be a more uninteresting match up if you ask me.
And it's not like it's a chair on a pole match. You just get chairs and you can use them.
It's all I got. I don't, I think Ryberg wins this.
I don't really, because a win for Kane doesn't do anything. Yeah, it doesn't make sense to give them a win.
And this is trying to break away from this corporate character that he's been saddled with.
In a stairs match, which we still don't know how this works. We just know it's a stairs match.
Do you win the win the match when you can use the stairs? Do you win the match?
Is it like a regular match in the stairs or legal? We don't know.
But it is going to be Frenchy and Eric Rowan. I'll just crack. Sorry, Frenchy and big red.
I'll just crack up if they forgot wrestling and it's just a staring contest.
Now that would be funny who has the best stairs. I see what you did there. Exactly. I'm on board with it.
That bad eye can embrace.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Maybe you can push down the stairs.
And it all takes place back in the back.
It's the best lawyer for life. Yeah, I think Frenchy wins this.
You still got room to build Eric Rowan with, but
That's what I got. Yeah, I'll second that.
Yeah, I lost my cursor on my screen there for a minute. In a TLC match, which may be
one of the best matches of the night.
Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt.
I can't imagine another match on the card that can be better than this. Oh, I can.
I can't.
But just I don't like the character of Bray Wyatt. That match. What was that match that just completely blew our
minds earlier in the year? And I was like, I never would have thought.
The cage match with John Cena.
Now the match they had at Survivor Series, I enjoyed very much.
Even though it was just a setup for this, for this favor of you.
I was earlier in the year than that. I want to say it was like,
No, I think I think Wyatt wins this because I think with his Ambrose, then you carry it for a while.
But you of course you have to resolve it before the rumble because you got
it for both of whom are rumble. But I hope Ambrose wins this.
Yeah, I like how you've come around on him because they finally did something within.
There wasn't so bland and ridiculous. He's he's your new CM Punk. So I can't not get behind that.
Well, he's I mean, I'm just saying he's as close as we're going to get to that kind of personality.
He's the lightning rod. He'll do anything. Say anything and deal with the consequences later kind of guy.
He's don't see him punk in the ring, but I think he just got that kind of personality.
Davis title on the line.
Nikki Bella AJ Lee rumors swirling again that this might be AJ Lee's swan song.
I would take the match with AJ Lee just to get the bell top of Nikki.
I forgot and until Monday night on Raw that they talked about what's her name,
Alicia Fox being a former Davis champion. I was like, all right, she held that bell for an hour and a half.
Which was 90 minutes too long. Alicia Fox was apparently Davis champion at one time.
I think it was like for an hour and a half or something.
That a house show.
But I just if if AJ really is leaving the company, then she loses this match.
What was she gonna do show up at a UFC paper view and drop it in the garbage can?
Well, she can always go to amp it. Oh, no, no, she can't. She couldn't go to impact, but she wants it.
Not this week. Well, she could take a build vacation.
Take a second honeymoon. Not on me, but go ahead and take me down.
I don't think you were foot in the bill.
She, Alicia Fox, according to Don from our friends at Wikipedia, June 2010.
Alicia Fox had the Davis championship for two months.
Two months. Two months.
June of 2010.
I want to say that that was that was all on the haze for me. It's kind of a bit because I don't remember that.
Well, the show was just getting started back then. So we didn't have to keep track of such thing.
We were in our infancy. How's the match going in there, by the way?
U.S. last year a P and champion chip on the line.
Rusev, Jack Swagger. Now, here's how you book this.
Roll with me for a minute. Okay. Swagger wins and gets the U.S. title.
But we do a dug-in TV title thing where Rusev finds the European title somewhere.
Besides, that's just going to be his.
I'll roll with you on that or somehow he gets presented with the European title by somebody because it can't be the authority because they're out of power.
But you think Lana pulls it out of a briefcase or something. That would be, I mean,
because I think it's time to give Swagger a run with something.
Yeah.
You know, third-stream defensive back from Oklahoma.
And up the rough out.
Tag team titles on the line.
Oh, that's not the right one. Let's go back one.
Intercontinental title on the line.
Luke Harper, Dolph Ziegler.
All I have to do is look at Steve. Steven says your Ziegler, he'll turn starts today too, really.
I think it's time. Put it back on him.
Because it's Luke Harper. There's nothing going with Luke.
Danny, oh, we had an F-bomb from Gold Dust on the paper view.
No, Booker T wasn't with him for him to stutter it.
Okay, now I'll try this again. Tag team titles on the line.
The Miz and Damian Miz now versus the Usos.
It's the Usos, mine.
Oh, geez.
What the? The only reason for Miz to drop these titles tonight is to start the face turn for
movement Miz down.
The face turn for Miz? Yeah.
If I'm telling you, Damian's thing now happens.
I may lap so hard IP on myself.
Because you would think that somebody like me would not be in on that.
But when you sent me that meme that day, I was like, no, this would be genius.
What are we doing?
Oh, is it? Oh, that's right. The fatal four way is where Elisha Fox did win that. That's why I forgot that.
Gale Kim, Eve, Maurice and her.
Because I think his Gale Kim was back in the WWE for like three weeks or something
before she went back to TNA.
Well, I mean, this match to make it go either way.
Oh, and by the way, the match, I think that could be better than the Dean Ambrose would be singular.
Because Harper has proven that he can adapt to just about any style.
I think that could be her match at the night. I've never really seen anything that impressed me all
them much from Luke Harper because he just seems like just like he can work.
Okay, he can work sir. I just kind of see him be attacked. He titles machine. This is a toss up for me.
I don't think the Usos win.
Do I see a Naomi heel turn tonight? I think it's possible.
Because remember, when you marry somebody in real life,
within six months, you'll be broken up on television. Yeah. Or you'll marry him and then
divorce him and then you'll marry them on TV. Savage.
So sad. I'd like to know the behind the scenes of that day when they had the wedding of
SummerSlam of how that went.
How awkward the prefer. I just remember how awkward the prefer.
I'd love the man to death, but God that was so forced.
It really was. Any picks on this tag team title match?
You accomplish nothing by putting it back on the Usos. I don't think you accomplish anything either way.
Well, I think if you give it back to the Usos, you're taking a step in the wrong direction.
But it also sets up the Miss Down Miss program.
I'm kind of good either way. You think maybe there's a possibility that Miss Down does something
that costs them the title? No, I think Naomi does. I think that's where you get your Naomi heel turn from.
Possible shenanigans involved here. Oh, absolutely. I mean, I'm just saying with these four. No,
I'm saying no title change at all. We just have shenanigans that in the match and in a DQ possibly.
I think so. Okay. Or she costs them the titles period.
She's a cost in the match and then there's this.
Tables match.
Seth Rowan's John Cena. If John Cena loses, he is no longer the number one contender for the WWE World Heavyweight
Championship. If Rowan's loses, well, he just loses.
There are a couple of differing theories out there right now. One is Orton returns tonight
and costs Rowan's the match. The other is Roman Reigns comes back tonight and costs Rowan to the match.
Or I've heard that Orton comes back costs Cena the match, which keeps him heel.
But I think Stephen, I talked about this and we both agreed that that doesn't do any good for anybody in any way.
Or John, Lauren, I just comes back and costs everybody. He was on the slamming. He was there.
When he said the WWE universe was clamoring for the return of big people power and big Johnny.
Sure, they were. And the silence was deafening.
I never get that white suit with a red tie. I looked around. He was walking.
Look like he was walking around with his throat cut.
The New Day wins!
So, sweat towels for everybody!
Just go with it. Just roll. I'm just brace yourself with it.
I just, I don't think that you, that you take this away from Cena. I think you still have to set up Cena
Who, by the way, not scheduled for the pay for you? Three in a row.
I am absolutely, three out of it was, uh, is this three or four?
That's four. It's three because nine of champions it was where he was. Then you had, okay. Then you had hell in a cell,
survivor series, and tonight. Okay. Somebody's not thought it was more than three.
But according to Vince McMahon, on the podcast, this is the right thing because if you have too much
Brock Lesnar, it takes away from the impact. But he's your champion!
They give the belt as somebody else, yeah.
He tried to equate that with sting. I'm like, you don't you ever put the two of them in a series.
The long as you walk this earth, sir.
Prediction?
Time is getting closer.
What do we accomplish by taking Cena out of the, out of the picture?
I think Cena wins. That's why I'm saying it's where I think Cena wins. It's be a shenanigans.
Because you can't get de-cute in a table smash.
That's why I don't say it. Why isn't it number one contendership versus the, their briefcase?
And if little nature is involved.
No way, there was a picture with Charlotte, oh, Charlotte, nature boy and little nature.
World's colliding. That'd be awesome.
What do you think, and, sir? Yeah, right there with you, right there with you.
All right, so as the, as the card stands, great the card.
It's hovering between a C plus and a B minus. I was going to say B minus.
I think that with, with NXT doing what they did last week, and then allegedly the roster being
excited about it. There, there it is. There it is. That's the first time they call them baby
nature, the thing that's weird. Just, once again, the absence of your, of your world heavyweight
champion on a paper view, this many times in a row, takes it down a letter grade easily.
Yeah. But I still think I think B minus is a good assessment.
Well, there wasn't going to be an A no matter what. That's why I agree. That's what we're going to see.
Agreed. But isn't your, your favorite, uh, paper view comes up the next one in it? Yes, indeed. The
rumble. I am a rumble junkie. Uh, it's what January the 24th, something like that. Let me see.
Because that'll be, uh, that'll be the next paper view. So we've got a long stretch between
now and the rumble because it's always the week between the conference championship games and
the Super Bowl. It's always that Sunday in the middle. Or at least it has been last two years.
So we're going to do the pledge. Let's do this. I'm looking at the rumble so we can give the
date for it. Visit our website, www.theclubhousepodcast.com. Find out everything you need to
