Special Edition WWE WrestleMania 34

It is
six oh one on the east coast. It is three oh one on the west coast. This
computer is running very slow right now, but I think it's because other things
are going on the background. It is the eighth of April in the year of our
Lord 2018 season eight episode 33 436 times this voice has welcomed you to the
clubhouse podcast live every Sunday night. Normally seven Eastern four
Pacific, but today's a little bit different because it is right around this
time every year. Welcome. My name is Rob. I am the executive producer of the
clubhouse podcast. And if the Royal Rumble is wrestling Christmas, today is
wrestling New Year's Eve. It is the day of the showcase of the Immortals,
which means I'm not alone in this studio joining me in the co-host chair as he
tends to do is a man that does not believe that this is his favorite major of
the year because that one's already come and gone. He has Chad. Welcome, sir. You
are correct, sir, but you got to admit this card's kind of stout. Yeah, it's it's
pretty stacked. Next to him is the official fact checker of this show and a man
who just recently was able to find New Orleans on a map. You may know him as
Fondango, but his mom and even Don Ford. I'm gonna call him Don Ford. Welcome, sir.
One person put Nova and I go, where in the heck is Nova? I've never heard of
Nova. I'm sure you're probably still looking for the original Orleans, too.
There would be old in New Orleans, but the whole song key for the show. You
chewed it, not me. Yeah, you started. Oh, yeah, I'm the first one. This one you
started. Next name is the lady of the house. So how has her official shirt for the
bar? So she could not be happier and her army shirt over it. But she did not
feel that it was necessary to wear the kilt this evening. General is here. How
are you, friend? Hello, everyone. I thought it was a little cool and breezy for a
kilt out here today. It's a shame today. Just joining the fray is the
ginger ninja himself and a man who's he's trimmed up the beard again. So he's
keeping it keeping it tight. It's for the ladies. Andrew Beckham is here. Thank
you. Hey, my Randy Orton hoodie came in this week. That's look good. It looks
good, sir. No one's gonna make any comment about how it has sleeves. That's
that's not me, sir. I didn't do that. I didn't do that. Also here is a man who
had kind of a rough evening. That's not sure again. XT take over. But he's his
day's gonna get really interesting here in a minute. LA is here. It's an audio
medium, sir. I do like I liked it. No, just this one. That's the one that's on.
That's the one that's on. Okay, this is on. Yeah, that one's on. Here I am. And
nobody gets to snap today. No, for you listeners to know what it's about.
But you know what? It's Jersey. I liked it. Jersey. Thank you. I liked it. Jersey
very, very much. Our WrestleMania shades are here. Hello. Rounding out the
dais is a man that is going to be responsible for what's going to happen here
in just a few minutes. He is Alex. Welcome, sir. Why are you putting that on me?
Because I can. Why are you putting that on me? We have something to say. That's not
what I want. That's what we say. We are the kingdoms. The greatest group in
England. We're going to bring them on our history. And you, my friends, you are checking
out the clubhouse. But here, fight the conspiracy and be one of us. All right, we can't
do wrestling talk without the kingdom. No, it can at least until Alex gets us more
liners when he goes on the rager in the fall. All right, so let's do some updates real
quick while chat is figuring out Facebook live. You got nothing. You don't have the video
option if you go to our page and the pages app, not in the regular app. Do you have the
pages app? No. All right, I'll fix it for you. Turn this down a little bit. So this
break brought to you by a real. It is upcoming. So scoring updates, by the way, the tag
match at Fastlane was a double DQ. So that's a gimme for everybody. And I apologize for
calling that one. Which match was it? The member of the tag match, the bludgeon brothers
screwed everything up. So, all right. So because they're still a thing. They already had
a smack down time. No, no, no, no, no, just them showing up and, you know, snapping at
everything. All right, so when it's time, just hit start live video and you're going
to want to switch the camera around so you can see what's going on the room. Okay, cut
to the Facebook live video of just chats. So here's what you need to know. Here is your
scoring updates as we stand. Leg up. Doc was three, three, and one at Fastlane. He is
still at negative 22. He is a minus three 55 winning percentage. Alex has broken even.
He was three three. You were four two and one at Fastlane. You are three points behind
me at four two and one at Fastlane. I have a zero four eight win percentage. Gen Rome
is a point ahead of me. She's at zero point. So 065 winning percentage. She was five one
and one at Fastlane. She had the best record at Fastlane. Andrew and L.A. are tied at 12
with a 194 win percentage. Both of you went four two and one at Fastlane. Don is at 27. So
that's a 435 win percentage. He was four two and one at Fastlane. The U.S. title match
killed you, dude. I know. You lost nine points on chat again. You called the winner and
how it was going to happen and shenanigans. Yeah. So it just blew it. You lost nine points
on that match alone. Yeah. And then chat and Steven are tied for the lead right now. Wow.
34 with a 548 win percentage. They were both five four and two and one at Fastlane. But
what killed you, Chad? You were nine. You were minus six on the U.S. title match. Yeah.
We both shenanigans as well. So they're thirty four and where am I at 27? I want you to have
it back. There you go. That's that's cool. Go to Facebook live right now. Or if you're
listening to this on on the on the replay, you can just go to our our Facebook page. Are
you up and running? Just don't even go ahead. Just do it. Okay. All right. So we are now
on Facebook live. What's up, everybody? It's one of the very few times we've ever filmed something
in the studio and it's kind of plain, but you know, we're doing some stuff. Hi, everybody.
It's Rob. We are we are the reason we're Facebook live right now is we've been talking for four
months about how important it is that you win the Pay Per View prediction competition this year.
So late December, Alex called me. Don't put this on me. And he said, he said, the most
dangerous thing anyone can ever say to me, I have an idea. No, that's not dangerous when it's Alex.
No, that is fair. No, that is fair because I'm kind of off the limit. You're a good person. So
so we did some work together. I won't put this all on you. We worked together on this.
We tried to have Chad help. Normally you normally you just get bragging rights.
But we've up to the game this year. So I'm going to have to take my head first. Trust me,
LA is going to be totally worth it. Can I get a shot of LA's face right now? Because I don't know why
they. And for those of you that don't know who's who and we're putting faces with names,
you saw Alex. That's LA. There's Andrew in the background next to him is Jen Rome and then
Don and Chad's holding it. Okay, so I've got to take my headphones off to do this or things
get kind of tangled up. So this is what's going to happen for the person who has the most total points
after night, or what they call it, clashed champions now. Assuming that's the clothes this year,
right? I believe it is. So yeah, we're just filling the space. So there is a cardboard box to my right
with some various items on top of it. It's there's unpacking. There's definitely some unpacking
and I'll keep going with the microphone. So we're just going to. It's packer. This is worth it.
I might have you hold this because I know you're you're blocking the view. Yeah.
Yeah. Facebook live can kind of see this. Okay, I'm going to get there.
Reaction shot. This is what you're playing for.
Now did I oversell this? No. And here we are. This is what you're playing for kids.
Now you don't even see the whole thing. This is actually
customized as you can see the clubhouse podcast champion. On either side of it, you have plates
with our logo on it. But what you don't see. And you can hear the snapping on my.
These are snaps. This is not a cheapo toys or us velcro. Look at get L.A. space right now
because he is looking like a candy candy store on the left side of the belt. You have a plate
that says champion on it. On the right side, you'll notice it's blank. So whoever wins this year,
they will have the year starting with this year engraved on the right side of the belt.
And it will accumulate. So if you win this year, the belt is yours for a year.
Prochless and rules with your name.
But this is what you're playing for is a gentleman. Now do you want to give them some hands on with it
or do they have to earn it? Nobody touches it until it's award. And we also want to send a shout out
if we can real quick. Special thanks to fantasy jocks. Fantasy jocks. They're the ones that
actually helped us out and got this done go check them out. I mean the guys can tell you now
what I will do just so that I'm going to not vacation is L.A. I want you just to just hold it
like that so you can see the weight to it. That's not cheapo plastic. That is metal. That has weight
to it. Andrew's like I want to touch it. I want to touch it. He's going Stanley Cup rules.
He's going Stanley Cup rules. Don't touch until you win. So now you understand why we told you
to get the specters and want to win. Oh no I have an alarm system. But even since I'm winning the belt
and taking it to another podcast. No but what you really want to know is the fact that when we first
did this we were like this is such a great idea but we don't reveal it until it's awarded.
And then it became no let show them at the rumble. It's like no let's not show them at the rumble.
Maybe we'll show them it fast lane because there's nothing else going on. No we got to make it
original. We're going to show it in fast lane so we could bring it with us to the pinball festival
and it could be on display. But it is heavy enough that Rob didn't want to get it. Then I realized
why not just do it in wrestling. That's also true because it is wrestling New Year's Eve. So
that's what you're playing for kids. So stay with us as the year goes on. We're going to keep more
track. We've got a lot to get to. We're already 15 minutes in so we've got to get moving. Thank you
every one of you that watches our listens to anything we do. We're so thankful for each and every
one of you. Stay tuned. Thanks fantasy jocks. So there it is. That's the reveal. Is that not
amazing? If he sends me the snaps one more time. No we want to keep the post. Thank you.
All right so we're now uploading it to our Facebook page. So if you want to go back later and
you can see it don't try to listen to the show and then do that at the same time because it's
probably not. You're not going to be able to time it well. So that's what you're playing for.
All right so let's get into the week that was in our sport. Not a lot really going on this week.
But an interesting headline came down last night. That Alex reports to me.
No but this is this is actually I believe I believe. No you were in the room and we talked
about this last night. Alex I'm going to defer to you. Which headline are you referring to?
Because I'm going to need some more product. Somebody who's not currently with the with the company that
are you talking about Alberto? No former cruiser with champion? Oh Enzo. Yes sir.
For your brief and Elf try and be as brief as possible. Enzo Mori has been cleared of all charges.
The accuser was caught blind on multiple things and has disappeared from all media.
That is the end of the story. They're still not signing him. But that's I mean
I mean it's still with the fact that he didn't tell them. Yeah that's the real point.
At least he now knows he has a career in T&H. Oh no impact wrestling now.
At least this week. Whoa there's an opening right now as of last night.
Speaking of that we mentioned Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio no showed an impact event and
a lucha event over the weekend. There is some suspicion. We know that there has been talks but
we don't know anything. My personal opinion is if he does show up it's it'll be tomorrow and
it'll be Tuesday. Right because tomorrow is wrestling New Year's Day. So any reason why Vince
loves this guy so much because he wants a particular time. It's the demographic. Yeah. Yeah because
there's a big. There's a big. There's a big with the Latinos in the WWE. But I think it's
really besides the Cologne. Well you try to send a car. How did that work?
Sinclair still police though. Yeah come to me. He's still giving a decent push into a five.
But he's actually mean he's become a glorified job or at this rate.
Maybe if you guys actually did something with the Cologne's because they're actually a decent
character. No they're great. And they're great work. They're not interesting characters.
Sorry.
Mysterio. No. Hold on to that. Put a pin in there. Okay. So some notes from raw.
Wait at least we got that Q&A taking care of right off the bat. And I actually watched raw live
because I was in Boston this last week. By the way had a great time in Boston. Wonderful city,
big fan. But I had to watch it with commercials and that was a little rough for me.
But. First world problem. Exactly. But we got the Q&A out of the way right off.
Um. I want to call shenanigans on something when they were talking about Asuka.
How they said she went through 29 other women in the rumble. She was number 25. So she really
didn't have to go through 29 other women. Mathematically I was like what about 10? Roughly. You're fat.
And what the crap with the split screen WrestleMania promos?
Like I like to split screen when they go to commercial so you can still watch the match.
For a WrestleMania promo. I don't even like that actually because I mean it's too small.
It's very strange. They left it. They left the battle royal for commercial.
Yeah we were just watching the pre-show and right in the middle of the Andrei Memorial,
under the giant memorial battle royal they went to commercial. I am told and I haven't verified
this. I don't know if you have or not. The shirt Rhino was wearing Monday night is sanctioned
that said I walk with Slater. No that that was just craves being craves. I'm like oh please let
that be a thing. I also want to say as far as the ending goes could that have been the greatest
wall of mid-carders in the history of wrestling. The whole locker room well nope the ones that are
haven't left for the hotel or that are still here. There's a group of them that just felt like they
just got elevated to mid-cards. I get TV time. Yeah I'm on TV. Let's see. Smackdown notes.
Shane had a ruptured hernia. Did I miss something? Yeah that was the story. But then they still
told the diverticulitis thing which was the real reason he was out. So they're blending real with
K-feb. Nobody in this room can relate to that. And I've decided that next year starting at the rumble
next year we are going to tally to the number of times that the WrestleMania sign is pointed to.
Look that doesn't count. I can't count that high. We'll keep a running tally each one. I need a
pitch counter. We're not as leading the pack right now. No no she's just leading the pack
on timing because she did it for nine minutes. No right what's the pay-per-view before the rumble
usually chamber? No the rumble is the first paper of the year. I know but what's the pay-per-view
before the rumble? So from clash of champions they don't put the rum, they don't put the logo
up in the rumble. He's talking about doing it at the rumble because rumble's the first time.
I started talking during the whole season or whatever. No they don't put it up in the arena until
the rumble. Well sometimes you see it before because they'll point to the thing saying I'm going
to win in the rumble go to WrestleMania. That is true he does have it but they wouldn't do it that
early. That's the first raw of the year. So we would do the yearly tally. Yeah so whenever it does
go up. That's an excellent point Don and I'll give that to you. So whenever it goes up
grace here I'm sure Russ is not that far behind. Russ is here. We want to send a shout-out to Russ
who's got the Nola hat. He's got his Nola hat on. By the way Don that's a Nola hat for New Orleans.
That's what Nola means. Yes the you missed a discussion boy. Russ are we good to talk about what's
going on? We want to talk about Russ's brother has been having some some problems lately. He's in
the ICU right now so we want to make sure we send our best out to your family sir.
We should probably show them what we just showed everybody else.
This is what the winner will get for this year's pay-per-view points.
15 pounds of awesome. And we've actually got that on Facebook live if you guys want to go watch
the reveal later on so you can see everybody's reactions. Brittany Palmer's getting crushed.
She's fine. She's holding it up.
It's a very tough place for playing. If we want to update Cedric Alexander, New Cruiserweight
Champion. Okay. So for those of you that didn't have that one what's wrong with you?
You know I just realized that they are playing the pre-show at USA. I just realized what the new
coup for this show would be. Brittany Palmer wearing the belt. You're welcome.
The day that happens just shut it down. That's the pinnacle. Okay so then we're not doing it.
There's a sneak peek of New Day's outfits but I don't want to know. I don't want to know.
This is one thing that's important. Alright so a couple of we're talking Smackdown. Let me get
back into my iPad here. Let's see. You know what? They were this close to doing some great
booking on Smackdown this week. Why not have the cash in B at the Go Home Show to Mania?
Because that would have been insane. Because they were promoting the main event the whole time.
But again that would be brilliant booking. Because remember everybody thought it was going to be
gender mahal versus Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series and then two weeks before AJ wins the title.
That would have been brilliant. Now great that the internet would have exploded
but because then I was going to crush her in my team. No no they had made it a triple threat because
they gave Charlotte her rematch at WrestleMania. Well speaking of that.
Uh potential spoiler in three two don't say the one. The advertisements for Smackdown Tuesday.
Don't you do this to me. Don't take this away from me. Okay. Do you want to talk about it?
No no no I'm talking about I don't want them to know before we do things.
No I'm not saying. You know what? You know what? You're fair. You're fair on that.
I'll pull it down. Well some people don't. Some people don't so make it fair.
We'll pull that one back. We'll talk about that. We'll talk about that.
Do your research. But if you don't do the research then that's on you.
Did anybody else notice that they changed genders?
They changed genders. They changed genders for graphics.
Yeah. I don't like it. I like to how it's like open up as he can.
They don't do the circle around him no more. So yeah.
So all right. So you're always in the clubhouse podcast.
It is wrestling New Year's Eve. It is WrestleMania 34.
If you have not seen the gateway yet, go to the pre-show right now.
It's one of the most impressive entrances that I've seen them do in years.
All right. So I am going to need to get to the pdf of Wiki because
Lord only knows how many people have been added to this other match.
Now here's the deal. I also need to pull up the point system so I don't screw this up.
A lot of the matches on this card tonight. So a lot of people have a potential
to make some major moves in the point standings today.
So remember, the more specific you are, the more points you can risk,
but the more points you can gain. So really the oh so we got the two gimmies because Matt
Hardy wins the Andre the Giant Battle Royal and Cedric Alexander is your new cruiserweight champion.
So what I'm going to do now is I want to make sure that I've got to line up current
for the WrestleMania women's battle royal. I just need them to name that something different.
I just well they tried that before and it didn't go so well.
Right. But I need it. There's a there's a hundred other people they could like Windy Richter.
Why not? Well because she left under bad terms too. So I would say, you know,
Medusa. She's in the Hall of Fame now. She did throw the trick can't or she did
the title in the game. But she's in the Hall of Fame. Also trick. So I'm just saying.
So the WrestleMania women's battle royal here are your current participants listed.
Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, Naomi, Natalia, Ruby Riot, Sarah Logan,
Bailey, Lana, Mandy Rose, Sonya Deville, Mickey James, Carmella, and Dana Brooke.
Chad, Becky, Becky Lynch, Don.
Ember. You know what? He can call that because last night, NXT takeover,
the three of the four titles changed hands. One of them being the women's title as Ember
Moon loses to Shayna Baszler. Boom. Tag title stayed with the undisputed era with a heel turn by
Roddy Strong, which I think they're going to turn on him once fish gets healed.
And you have a new NXT champion as Alistair Black beats Andreas Sien Almas,
which the tradition has been, those who lose their titles at takeover are moved to the main
roster within 72 hours. Don picking Ember Moon, that is a valid pick because she could be a surprise
entrance. And you know what? I will give you three extra points, but not take away three if she
doesn't show up. All right? General. Ruby Riot. All right. L.A.
Okay. It's only an hour, and we're actually running a little behind. Yes, we are. Let's go with Sasha.
Sasha Banks. Andrew. Also Sasha Banks. Russ. Sasha. Greg. Becky. Becky Lynch. All right, Alex.
I'll go with Don on taking Ember. I'm going to say that Ember's in it, but I don't think she
wins it because that would be that would be way too monster of a push right out of the gate. But
they did that with Eric Corbin. I heard they did it on the other guy. The last. That was very
Corbin. Yeah. No, he said, however, Corbin. Oh, Baron. So I'm actually going to go a different way.
Go for it. To further the angle, I'm saying Bailey. It'll come down to Bailey and Sasha. See,
that's where they're going to be Bailey and Sasha. And it's going to be Bailey because Sasha's
going to try to go heal and Bailey's actually going to catch it. Because remember, it's wrestling
New Year's Eve. We're going to wrap up the angle. We're going to start a new one tomorrow.
True. That's where I was. So, see, I thought you were doing the exact opposite by picking Sasha.
All right. So we've already got the other two done. Who did German pick? He actually didn't pick
Ziggler, but it doesn't. Oh, I don't know. Him and Doc did send me picks. Hold on. I got to do all
this. We're doing some immediate research. He actually picked big cast who was not in the match.
He also picked Ember and Doc. To be fair, Steven's the first person I say, or I heard
call Ember, like a week ago. And Doc is saying Doc says Alexa because Doc.
Oh, of course. So we get to the main card. Remember that these are not necessarily
ordered. They're going to happen. They're just in the order I feel them necessary.
We start with the tag team match for their jobs. Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens versus Daniel
Brian and Shane McMahon. If they, if Zayn and Owens lose, they are fired. If they win, they stay
employed. Doc says Owen Zayn because Shane McMahon will almost kill himself. Zimmerman says where
I didn't tell you. He says musically. You're welcome, America. He says DeBri and the greatest
wrestler in the world, Shane McMahon. They're not sending you a checks. Doc, you're up. I'm going to
pick the Owens and Zayn. Okay. General Owens and Zayn. All right. I'm going with Brian and Shane
O'Mac because they say that they're fired from Smackdown. So that's why. Yes, sir. And the pin
is going to be Daniel Brian. You want to say who he's going to pin? You're just going to leave it there.
You know what? Leave it there. Okay. Andrew.
All right. All right. Russ.
Brian and McMahon. Great. Shane and Daniel. All right. Alex, I'm going Owens and Zayn by pin.
Chad O'Zee. I am saying it will be the management. I also agree that Daniel Bryan gets the pin.
But I think Daniel Bryan gets the pin on Kevin Owens. And then both of them go to Smackdown.
I mean, to go to Raw. See, the only way I see that working out is if Zayn
turns on Owens. How much extra do you get when you pick the guy versus just picking the guy who's
in extra three points? If you pick who gets the pin, yeah. So you can get four. That's four total.
One for the win. That's, yeah. But if you get the team right and you get the pinny wrong,
it's only minus two because you gained one for the actual prediction. No, it's already out there.
It's locked and stuck. Mixed tag team match, which will probably come very, very late in the card.
Because what? Kurt Angle and Rhonda Rousey versus Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.
Let's see. Steven says Angle and Rhonda. Doc says Angle and Rhonda. And I believe general
more up to you. Angle and Rhonda. All right. L.A. I'm going with Angle and Rhonda and I think it's
submission. Okay. And I might even say it may be double submission at the same time.
I'll give you two points for that extra. But I won't take away if it doesn't happen.
Because I gave one to Don. I'm going to give one to you. And Andrew. Good luck with that.
Okay.
Rhonda gets the pin on Stephanie. All right. Great. Angle and Rhonda and Rhonda gets the pin on
Triple H by submission. Okay. It's the pin by submission. Hold on. Hold on. I need to let him
let him in. I need to let him in. This is a mixed tag. So she can't. The only the women can pin
the women. The men can pick the men. So I'll let you amend that pick because that wouldn't happen.
Okay. I'll say per angle. Okay. Pins Triple H. Yes. Or does he submit Triple H?
Would they submit them with the ankle lock? Okay. I'm co-signing. Oh. You can't go.
You can't go. He's no. Because all right. Fine. Then it's Rhonda by submission on McMan.
Oh, McMan. I'm pissed that I don't get it. All right. Because I was going to say that too.
Done. Exactly what they said. Just Rhonda gets the submission.
General. I am also going to say Rhonda gets the gets the R bar submit because here's the thing.
Are we getting bonus points? Angle and H? No. Angle and H are going to have to carry this match.
Rhonda has looked very, very and when I saw her in person in Raw and Charlotte and I went to
Raw a few weeks ago, we saw some things that you guys didn't see on TV. Like we didn't see
ultimate deletion at all. You're welcome. And I envy you. Happy. You also didn't see when they
went to commercial when Rhonda was in the ring. Dana Brooke came down and ran her down through a
promo and it was and then which turned into the ugliest hip toss I've ever seen as long as I've
walked this planet. Their angle and H are going to have to carry this match. But I think it's
going to be steps going to get in the ring. Rhonda is going to get in the ring. Slap, knock down,
arm bar done. Yeah. That sounds about right. So. Yeah. Fatal four way match.
UX title on the line. Oh gosh. Randall Keith Orton versus Bobby Rude,
Mrs. Jinder Mahal versus Rusev Day. L.A. Oh, um, you know what? I'm going out on the
limb. It's WrestleMania. Of course it is, sir. Rusev Day. Is that really out on a limb?
Rusev Day. Andrew. That's pretty close to the trunk. He's saying Bobby Rude. Russ.
Rude. Greg. Rude. I'm going to say Rusev to balance out the booze that are coming in the main
event. That's fair, Chad. Orton. Okay. Don. Uh, Rusev and he wins by submission. Rusev by submission
with with the accolade you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. General. Rusev.
I am saying Bobby Rude because I don't feel like he's had enough of a run with it yet.
I think that you could have a really the only thing is Rusev's getting so much face heat right now.
I think Rude get. I think you'd have to have. I think you'll have a rematch on Tuesday night.
I think that's where you get the Rusev payoff. No, I think you get it tonight. No,
because I think that's that's gonna, that's what's going to cause the rematch on Smackdown and
that's where he's going to get the belt because they have this habit of having a decent moment in
it mania but having the moment on either raw or smack down afterwards. What's going on?
We're looking at the still that shows up on Facebook from the photo to show L.A.
Facebook. Oh, is it L.A.'s fail? And faith goes, hi, I'll eat. All right. So let's see
where we have triple threat match Intercontinental title on the line. The Miz versus Fin
Baller versus Seth Rollins. I believe we're up to Andrew. Andrew.
Miz Rollins Baller. All right. Baller club. All right.
All right. I'll go out on a limb and say Rollins by pin. Okay, Chad. Baller. Don.
Baller. General. Baller. L.A. The most must see Intercontinental champion of all time is
going to win this one with a pin fall over Seth Rollins. Five point risk. Very nice. I think
the Miz retains because what I see happening is number one, he's so close to that record
that he's going to get it. Number two, they're switching the US and IC belts at the next
because the next paper views the draft and they're going to switch. They're going to switch
titles. Miz is going to go to smack down whoever wins the US titles coming to raw.
Because remember, after this, every paper view will be duly branded. We're not doing separate
paper views anymore. So we can't have five paper views in three, three paper views in
five weeks. So I don't think you have Rollins because you're waiting for Dean Ambrose
to come back. And by the way, kids, L.A. L.A. said this last night. Ambrose is showing up
at house shows. So be ready. Raw tag team titles on the line.
So bar versus Braun Strowman and not Brains Strowman. So here's how this works. Just like
it did for Bobby Rooted the Open Challenge. And let me go to the official rules so I can
make sure I get this right because we have a rule for this. We have a rule for this.
Okay, so you'll get one for the win. You'll get an extra two. There's up to three to pick
the opponent and which will get the every victim partner. But I'm not going to give you
the five for the field win because it's a tag team match. I already know who one of them
is. So you can have you get up to three on this. Or really, you get the six if you figure
out who paid for the band. Russ, first of all, who is the tag team partner? Remember,
we got 26 minute. If you want to call it, you have 26 minutes of the paper view. We
got more match. So you're saying rude is going to work twice tonight. Do they get the
win? Yes. Okay, so already moves in the draft. All right, fair enough. Great. Okay, and
do they get the win? Yes. Okay, Alex, I will say Elias and they get the win. Okay, Chad,
I also say big show with the win. Don Elias with the win. General Elias, but the bar
wins because I have to go. Yeah, that's fair. Eli, respect. Oh, I'm going with the
show man. The show man. Okay, can we get it? Do they get the win? Do they get the win?
Yes. All right, you know what? French, he's going to get the French. He's going to get
the look at LA going for broke today. He saw that belt that he's gone crazy. Andrew.
Oh, throw us maybe a seed. Ron wins. Okay, I got to catch up on Doc and Steven's picks. I
think the last thing I gave was the was the wrong match. So Doc says for the US title, he's
saying rude for raw tag team titles. He is saying stroman. And Steven is saying. Did you get
their picks for for miss baller and Rollins too? Oh, yeah, I get that too. So Steven is
saying Bobby Rude team brawn. And what was the other one I had to do? I see title. Oh,
intercontinental title. He is saying Finn Balor. Doc is saying for intercontinental title,
Finn Balor as well. All right, so we got have we gotten everybody's pick for the for the tag
team titles now. Yes. Yes. I am saying that the titles change hands tonight. As far as who the
partner is, my heart wants to say show, but my head is saying Rey Mysterio. Oh, you might be
right. There are some things that I have seen and I have read that that I've got to go with
this. We talked about the pre show. The reason Don wins so much is that he picks with his head
not his heart. And I mean, I can't do that all the time. But I am saying that it's going
to be Rey and they win the titles because that what better way to push brawn as a face
because that's how you did it with Daniel Bryan again. So that's what I'm going with.
But he has a torn bicep still and probably cannot wrestle. He doesn't have to brawn
in care of the match. Yeah, I'm just. He only narrated jump. He can get a break and just do
about a dry leg drop. They don't do the Brock Lesnar and defending the title once every four
months. Joe's ready though. I don't think Joe's ready. Joe's cleared. That's who I was torn
on. Was about Joe. I've heard conflicting reports. So I don't know. Oh, and by the way,
I have to add another shout out last night on the NXT pre show Pat McAfee was easing. And
I also found out that Pat McAfee went to high school with Elias. And he and Corbin
used to play together at the Colts. What did they say? I gave those picks. Both of them
said Strowman, but triple threat tag team live Smackdown titles on the line. Nusos new
day bludgeon brothers. Doc says. Where is it? He says Nusos. I love the day. Zimmer. Zimmerman
says. Did you do bludgeon brothers? So I believe Greg. I believe we're to you. I'm gonna
say. I hate to say it. New day. All right. Doing the head versus heart thing again. I'm
gonna take the bludgeon brother. Yeah. Yeah. Same here. Don. Bludgeons. General. Nusos. L.A.
Don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't and my boys get
in the pan. Which one? Harper. Harper. Okay. Andrew. Okay. The only reason I'm going to
say bludgeon brothers is because I'm holding on to hope that on Smackdown we have a run-in
starting of a feud with war machine or the authors of pain. I'd have been good either
one either way. I'm good. But yeah, they get the titles tonight. Raw women's title on
the line. Alexa Bliss versus Naya Jacks. Zimmerman says Naya. Doc. I know I don't have to look
this up. He says. Oh, he says Alexa Bliss on that. He picks Sasha in the women's battle
royal, by the way. Okay. But he says Alexa. Of course, because, you know, Doc, Alex, where
do you? It's another payoff to get the crowd what they want for the booze coming later.
Naya. All right. Chad. Naya. Don. Naya. Naya. Naya with the pen over Alexa. Okay. It doesn't
work that way. You can say Naya by pinfall. Thank you. Thank you all. We really should have
waited until December to reveal that bell. Andrew. Naya wins this. There's going to be
interference by Mickey. And I think I think Mickey gets tossed by the referee. Are you calling
shenanigans? No, because she's always up. She's starting to deal. I can't call shenanigans
on that. But it's, it's time to put that belt on Naya. Smackdown live women's title on
the line. This is where it's going to get weird. Charlotte Flair versus Oscar championship
versus streak. Let's see. I don't even know why I'm looking at Stevens, but I'm going to
look just to be safe. He's actually saying Charlotte. Oh, that's Doc. That's Doc. That's
Doc is saying Charlotte. Steven is saying Oscar. Of course. Chad, Oscar by submission. Don. I'm
going to do Oscar by submission, but because she's not part of the match. This is where I call
shenanigans on who? On what's her face? The money in the bank. Carmilla Carmilla and cash.
Okay. No, no, no. There's, there's, there's a rule. Okay. So let me explain the rule and cash
in. Wait for it. Don. Cash in. If it actually happens, they actually have to say in the bell
rings, that is a 10 point risk. You have called it as shenanigans. So that's an additional
five point risk. And you have, did you call who gets the pin? I said, Oscar wins. So,
what cash in that is 16 points swing. Now, now stay with me though. Wait, but what I'm
saying is, how is that shenanigans? But there's also, it's not part of the match. It doesn't
have to be like she could just be there now. So it's before the end of her action does not
happen. He doesn't lose. Like if she doesn't show up, you're not going to lose the 10. If she
shows up, cash is in and loses. You lose the points. I didn't, when she cashes in after
the match is what I'm saying. It happens tonight. If it happens tonight, you're fine.
Yeah. That's why I'm not saying she's going to say in the separation of shenanigans and
cash in. So I'm saying, well, yeah, what I'm trying to say is that she'll do shenanigans
before the match ends. So she'll get involved to create that. And then I'm saying, that
is a 16 point risk. Plus I'm saying she cashes in. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying
she's winning though. I'm not saying, I didn't say she'd win. I'm just saying she's
cashing in and attempted cash in. I'm just saying she's cashing in. Yeah. The rule
is kind of ambiguous there. Yeah. I'm saying it's a cashing. It's a 10 point risk.
Mm. Right. I wasn't clear on that. But, but I can't be the one calling this. I'm
going to let you make the decision. Okay. Does your 10 point risk involve winner lots?
No, I'm just, you're going to make the decision for everybody else in the room for the
rest of the time. I think it's fair to say if she cashes in at five points, but if you
call whether she's successful, that's another five point. Okay. So right now it's only
an 11 point risk, not 16. Yeah. Okay. Everybody okay with that? Yeah. Cash in five, cash
in win 10 and extra five for shenanigans. Yes. Okay. All right. Melah. Don't let me
down. No, he doesn't lose anything. If she doesn't cash in at all. Like if she shows
up, it could be, it could be shenanigans because she would interfere in the match. So
that's five points if she shows up. Right. But doesn't cash in. That's before the match
ends. Correct. Yeah. You're absolutely correct. General. Oscar. All right. L.A. Can we
just burn 10 minutes of time with that? I'm calling Oscar, but I am calling shenanigans
because Carmella is showing up. So, but does she cash in? I think I just want to leave
that show. Okay. So you want to leave it the five? That's the five. Okay. All right.
Fair enough. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. Andrew. Andrew. All right, Oscar wins.
All right. All right. Oh wait, I'm sorry. No, no. That's it. I'm not gonna talk about
him. I'm saying I was gonna win by Smith. We know it's her thing. Right. Right. But I
don't think this Charlotte's tapping out. Does that get me anything? Charlotte passes out.
he does not tap out.
That's still a submission either way.
Okay, all right.
It's a tap out is not the rule.
It's submission, submission, submission.
There's four minutes we don't get back.
Yeah.
Okay.
Charlotte wins, but Carmella can't
shouldn't have college names.
Charlotte, I mean,
Carmella.
Carmella comes in and catches in.
Okay.
Where are the rules?
Which one?
You don't have to give the rules.
You can't, I can't.
He can call it.
Great.
Oscar wins.
Carmella.
Carmella.
Cashew's name but she loses.
Okay.
That's, that's, that's it.
I'll tell you what though.
Her, her, her outfit game is strong tonight.
Carmella was on the free show.
Her outfit game is pretty strong.
Alex.
All right.
We're going deep.
Oh god.
Leave it be, leave it be.
Hey.
Silence.
Yourself.
Oscar wins.
Uh huh.
By a non-title-changing method.
DQ some, or DQ, and you said this to me the other day.
I did.
So Charlotte retains the belt, but Oscar wins.
Oscar loses it beats the holy bleep out of Charlotte.
And then you get a successful cashew by Carmella.
So you're saying cashew and you're calling another 5.4, the-
I'm calling all the way.
He's all in.
So you call it shenanigans too?
Oh no.
No.
Just a cashew and he's going to win.
All right.
10 points.
That's 10 points.
Bring it.
Hold up your hand.
Hold up.
Let's chat.
Let's chat.
It's his turn.
It's not a win already.
Yeah.
You just started it.
Okay.
So here's what happens.
Here's my official pick.
I think Oscar wins.
She wins the belt, then Carmella caches in.
So it won't be shenanigans.
Yes.
Okay.
Because-
That's not shenanigans?
No.
Because she comes after the match.
Because they just wear each other out.
Because the bell rings the match is over.
It's not shenanigans until if the match is ended.
Tuesday night, triple threat.
Oscar gets the title back.
But the streak is broken.
Right.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Because everybody thinks Charlotte's going to break the streak, I think they completely
screw ball it.
And that's the cash.
So Carmella breaks the streak.
Somebody who nobody picked just won the women's battle royale.
Who won the women's battle royale?
Naomi.
Did not see that coming.
You know what?
We should have known that because it makes sense where is her career right now.
It makes sense.
We should know that.
We did not feel the glow.
All right.
W.W.
Universal title on the line.
Lesnar reigns.
Steven says.
Steven says.
I'm looking for it still.
He says Roman.
He says.
By the way, when the paperview starts Doc Valkyrie behind a plane, so he's going to miss
most of the wrestlers.
I mean, Doc says Roman reigns.
Don.
Roman by pinfall.
Okay.
Roman reigns.
Okay.
Brockman reigns.
I mean.
You can't pick both of that.
Okay.
All right.
Andrew.
Roman reigns.
All right.
Roman reigns.
All right.
Roman reigns.
Uh-huh.
Roman reigns by pin.
Roman reigns by pin after a spear.
Are we really going to give points for that?
For the obvious.
That's so impressive.
That's impressive.
But that's what it's going to be.
It's got to be Roman.
We all know Brock's going back to UFC anyway.
Yeah.
They need something positive after Conor McGregor's.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Go.
So yeah.
So there's the thing.
And WWE title on the line in the air quotes.
Dream match.
That's already happened.
AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura.
Doc says AJ.
Steven says.
Steven says Shinsuke.
Genroom.
You start the final picks.
AJ Styles.
I'm going AJ with a heel turn for Shin at the end of the match.
I think he's already there personally.
The whole padding on the head thing.
Andrew.
That's one of the money that AJ has to win.
Okay.
AJ.
AJ.
This is the biggest toss up for me.
Indeed.
And I've changed my pick four times in my mind already.
But I'm going to say it stays with AJ.
Chad.
Shinsuke.
Don.
Shinsuke.
Did they pick?
Did you get the Germans picked?
I did.
I did.
I did.
Um.
I feel like we've spent the last year of our lives building up to this moment.
AJ's had the belt long enough.
Shinsuke's going for you because he's already almost there.
But remember, you've already got one face champion.
So have the other one be a heel champion.
That's why Shinsuke wins.
Because he's going to he won the Royal Rumble and they're not going to have another Royal Rumble winner.
They're not going to have both of them.
They're not going to have Oscar win and Shinsuke win when Shinsuke win when they both won the Royal Rumble.
Hold on.
One of them got to take it.
You're assuming Oscar's going to win.
That's why I said that's my.
But Camariel is going to have the belt at the end.
So that's where they're going to do that.
That's a good fly.
That's not true.
I'm standing by my pick.
I'm locked in.
I'm locked in.
Stand by your man.
I'm locked in.
It's going to be Shinsuke.
All right.
So as the card stands.
Oh.
Oh, did we knock all the through?
What are we missing?
Yeah.
Shad.
Rest.
And peace.
Because it's unofficial.
I can't have you guys do picks for that because here's what I'm hearing.
And this is what's going to make me really, really mad.
Yeah.
Is that the one I told you?
It's what you and I have talked about.
The run-in.
No, not run-in.
But the lack of.
Yeah.
The rumor is this is setting up next year's WrestleMania.
Really?
That's what I'm hearing.
That you're going to have the face off to set up for next year.
Although, I mean, Steven's saying take her.
You know what?
Let's do a non-risk bonus point.
We can make the pick run through it.
Well, it's not fair to the people that haven't gone in.
You can't.
And Doc.
But Doc didn't make a pick.
I just, I honestly, I don't want this to happen because.
I don't want it to happen.
Last year was good enough for me.
This will take all of the awesome out of him leading the gear.
Oh, but now he's not the dead man.
Now he's the American badass.
I don't care.
Yeah.
Let the man go enjoy retirement.
You don't even think he shows up, though?
No, no, no.
But.
Oh, he'll show up.
No, no, no.
He'll choke slam.
Seen a through the mat.
Just walk off.
No, I don't think I'm gonna touch.
But what we were talking about before is, did you see the tweet from Bubba Reg?
I did not.
You do not spend four to six weeks building something up for nothing to happen.
I am with taker.
It is not taker showing up, but the original BA.
Let's kid rock doing the song live.
Good.
That's the rumor.
Hall of Fame, kid rock.
What a joke.
He's gonna have to get his five minutes of fame, run in a ring and say,
I'm here as a fan because.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
I'll give it one aspect.
How much fun would it be if you see Seen a sitting in the crowd?
They're already showing it.
Let's finish, sir.
Okay.
Can I finish?
Shut it.
Shut.
Go.
I'm trying to, but he won't shut.
Okay, wait, wait.
You cut to it.
taker is sitting behind him.
Just staring.
Oh, you put some through some chairs.
That would walk away.
No, that would be fun.
Put some through chairs and walks away and says, no.
No.
Put you know what?
Or.
Seen is at the top of the ramp and undertaker comes up through the stage behind him.
Then I, then I, then I'd be okay with that.
I'd be kind of.
Well, if that's not for you.
Just 20 years ago.
All right.
So as, and Stephen just texted me, so he's obviously listening.
As the.
That's your tag team partner, sir.
Oh, with former.
So chat starting with you.
As the card stands, grade of the card.
It's got a B plus from me.
Oh, really?
Don.
Already saw the card.
As a pay-per-view, I'm given an A minus, but as a WrestleMania, I'm given it a C plus.
Okay.
Don does hold the major to higher standards.
That is fair.
That is fair.
General.
C.
L.A.
I'm going with a B plus.
This one has me.
Okay.
Andrew.
A B plus, but the creativity behind it will definitely make it an A plus.
All right.
Russ.
I'm looking at an A plus.
Okay.
Russ.
Hey, the left of me is the man's opinion.
The man has the valid opinion.
Greg.
Hey.
Hey, okay.
Stephen.
I'm not Stephen.
I'm calling you that for now.
People over.
I think what church called me Dave all the time.
All right.
Well, uh, Mr. David.
Stephen says A minus, by the way.
Mr. Dinoffrio, I will say B minus.
I'll take that.
Um, I'm actually like, I'm.
I'm excited for this show.
Yeah.
Like, I'm genuinely.
I'm genuinely excited for this card.
I think that the arena looks great.
They've got the big circle, uh, circular board above the ring that looks awesome.
Uh, and Byron Saxons looking sharp.
Uh, Nick.
You haven't seen it.
You haven't seen it.
What did you give it?
You haven't seen it yet.
Let's go around the room.
You haven't seen the suit yet.
I haven't seen the suit yet.
This is a better look.
I should look sharper.
This is a shirt.
Even, even, uh, king is wearing like a non-traditional, like you know I've always
like his tights on the tuxedo.
It's like a smoking tuxedo.
It looks great.
It looks great.
You're not going to see that old John Cena run down the ramp from the side to you.
But I am going to say right now as this card stands I am saying B+. I'm excited for tonight
So I'm going to give it some room to grow. All right
