now we're gonna give you the chance to experience it if you haven't yet it's a great show it's not just because I produce it this is the show that is the spinoff of the clubhouse podcast where we're gonna talk pro wrestling and pro wrestling only welcome my name is Rob by the executive producer of the cheap podcast we got a lot of ground to cover this week kids we are at the home studio this week because there's some moving and shaking going on over at vocal and they were unavailable to us this week but we should be back very very soon we love vocal if you're not subscribing to the vocal now network you need to we got some really cool things coming up in the coming weeks and months you're gonna want to be a part of but I am not alone because we don't do that I wouldn't put you through that again sitting in the co-host chair is the lady of the house and someone who was sitting in the co-host chair last evening you'll hear that show we probably already have if you heard this one now she is general welcome friend hello everyone also here is my co-host sitting in his normal chair which is on the other side of the home studio and a man who has a new appreciation for chicken wings and I'm so happy for him he is Alex welcome sir well I wouldn't call it a new appreciation as much as a return to appreciate I believe your words at lunch today were new appreciation but okay I may have said new appreciation but it's not like I never had them before does it try something new today oh no I I had been off the chicken wings for a long time just based on getting burnt out on them the return has been glorious yes a very good one today if I'm not mistaken shout out above is 33 if you want to sponsor the show I wonder if they have any naked wings though that's that is my jam on that one those didn't look very very red though they were they're okay fair enough good Buffalo soft so because I had it on my mac and cheese very true that is very flavorful but with it being single to my oh are we gonna have to throw a lucha house party since we are in the homestood no cha lucha lucha lucha here's that well I am the same hideous Calisto so I'm gonna go with it it's sad that we don't have the visual today because the joy on Rob's face while shouting lucha is entertainment her I miss that I miss that it's it's joy it's it's a good thing I miss the lucha dragons yeah and now it's just sad and let's get into the week that was in our sports we are headed back to Saudi and about a month or we're not but the company is we knew Undertaker was going to be a part of it because he just signed the new deal we find out also Lesnar is allegedly going to be part of it but somebody's gonna somebody's gonna cut a check especially the disaster that it was the last time they were out there with him and added to the bill no pun intended one bill Goldberg however we also have to point out do you know why they all suddenly cut a check for Bill Goldberg I do not allegedly he was meeting with a certain NFL family whose name rhymes with Han that might be in a town that rhymes with Haxonville yes okay fair enough so apparently the panic ensued and a check cut cut vids you know vids can say he's not concerned all he wants when you're putting you're putting Bill Goldberg on the card yeah and I like Bill don't get wrong big fan of Goldberg always have been but this is not a guy that needs this this is a guy this guy enough irons on a fire that he doesn't have to do this I to be perfectly honest I was always one of the getting oldberg crew on there but I also understand he's a recognizable name oh no I'm not going for the rim shot on that oh you're getting it oh you're getting it but at the same time everyone of his matches was the same every one of his matches 173 and oh 174 all the exact same doc and I will be watching a lot of the professional fighters league now for a while they have a new cage announcer is now involved I'm assuming because I doesn't she live in Vegas now I don't know I think that's what she was saying on her podcast and that's I mean that's good for her because I'm sure they do their events in Vegas and she doesn't have to travel yeah so shout out to William Garcia and your June paper view into coma Washington now stomping grounds are we gonna have a round or stomping ground I think it's ground we're gonna have to look at are we gonna have some step teams come out I was gonna say this stop is stomping to be there to you know I'll be great that would actually be really cool have an extreme rules match with the crew from stop well we have to also understand that extreme rules I mean I'm in regular rules can I have the checkbook please I'm in on this I am fully endorsing this I I I'm okay with them doing an opening after that just get off my TV it's nothing you get off my lawn dude how no no that's how weird would that be they don't talk about at all of a sudden here's the crew from stomping they do 10 minutes and then there's nothing mentioned of it again yeah or even better they just every time graves tries to go on one of his diatribe Michael Cole just leads them out behind him it's the they're the Conway 20 of WWE ladies and gentlemen or even even if we go back to the old school stop if some of the wrestlers would actually do a stop routine I know there are some female fans that would enjoy it if it was done right that isn't that is on core magic we have a distinct problem with that though because your number one pick for that would be Biggie who probably won't be able to stop at that point yeah he's not ready yet as Kevin Owens to demonstrate for us on Smackdown live yeah Biggie was not the image I was thinking of he could stop with the best of them but he was not the image for the female fans I was thinking of speaking of giving me the book in the checkbook for a year raw hits an all-time non holiday low this week now we have to say non holiday because back in the day if it was a holiday week and they gave the the personalities the week off like let this past year they just pre-taped because the holidays run Monday but they wouldn't even do a show sometimes it would be like a recap show sometimes just a talking head show it would basically be main event don't over right pretty much but yeah it wasn't a good show I'm not gonna lie I mean I got notes but it ain't much I got a few but it's mostly why am I watching us more superstar shake of thought as the good brothers now on raw I it's Rogers deciding that they're just gonna own the tag team division now I think that's what they're going with I I genuinely think that they're doing two things move all the tag teams over because those matches tend to last longer and fill more time and number two get the people who can talk best on raw to fill more time by speaking so it's smack down are you gonna focus that on 205 live I guess I mean you're just you have central Alexander on raw and then buddy Murphy on Smackdown so that's not even pushing it yeah and what what happened to us keeping couples together who did we split buddy Murphy and Alexa Bliss well but they're not married the just was if they're if you're married Zalina Vega and Andrade thank you very much are not a couple oh that's her and Alster Black correct who is also on Smackdown Charlotte and Andrade right who are now on the same one big but they're not married but that comes with a flare perspective well you can't move on drony without Zalina nobody to understand what he's saying we'll talk about that in a minute yes we will and congratulations to Naomi this past week she was inducted into the boys and girls club Hall of Fame which I think is a big that's a big deal oh it absolutely is she is one of their success stories so she is absolutely one of the children who has grown up and made something coming out of a certain areas mm-hmm so congratulations her I mean seeing the pictures from that event like she could not have been happier and I could be happier for yeah so let's talk raw opening shot of raw Sasha Banks signed the crowd yeah that was strange interesting did you see the picture that Bailey put up this week of the original look for the the coins on the tag belts it was the Bailey face okay with with the ponytail and the Sasha Banks glasses I thought that was the no they had their individuals on each side oh okay it wasn't the combined Boston hug connection okay I did see that because they did do that on a shirt yes and then that was originally what was supposed to be the coins on the belts that would have been such a better move and she put that on Instagram and Sasha commented can I come over yeah and and Bailey was like you're welcome anytime yeah I love you Sasha Banks but let's let's get you head right especially with the iconic being booed out of the building but I think that's great that feeds them in my opinion yeah but the problem is is there's a difference between people like I really don't want to watch this or I hate this and people are they I don't want to watch this I think they're hating because everybody hates um now there's also that for you I love the Usos I'm with you I'm a big fan of the Usos also on that why are we trying to turn their intro into our truth I have that exact same note of Usos doing the archery this made me angry this anger to me and you know you would not like me when I'm angry yeah yeah yeah and then they lead into what they led into with the revival but we're gonna get to that in a minute of lastly now referring to himself in the third person which means we know now that he's trying to do that but he hasn't been speaking it was bad like I need Leo rush to get his head right because let me explain come a couple of things to Leo rush I respect Leo rush I remember watching him on the what's that tournament they do top prospect I remember watching him in the top prospect or a man R.O.H. whatever's going on there it is not for me to say I am not on the inside I couldn't tell you but where there's smoke there's fire so Leo rush get your head right well and there's two sides and get your head right with whomever you need to get it right with right because do I believe that that you deserve money for merch that's got your catchphrase on it I absolutely do but by the same token it is not your place to cause waves right now right because there's a reason you ain't wrestling there's a reason that you're somebody's sidekick there's also a reason you ain't on TV exactly so whatever this is because again I like the guy he's a great heel oh yeah let's get this figured out let's get this worked out so we can get this thing back to abnormal because I feel like this is one of those classic there's three sides to the story oh absolutely there's the companies and there's somewhere yeah it's just a truth um and we still have Dominic involved with Ray I'm telling you no good can come from this especially if you're feuding with Joe but there's a real problem with this just why do you know one big problem that I have why does Dominic look like the illegitimate son of sergeant slaughter I haven't looked into it that deeply oh no no you look at it he's got a chin that goes for about a country mile and I feel like we need to put an over under on the number of times they're going to do the handslap bro hug thing in one episode and isn't it traditional the father's supposed to pick up the son but he's so much bigger he just cradled him Dominic is a horse I mean that's a big kid but it's a big kid I mean but not he's like a big kid he's a well-built kid right and I think there will come a day that he'll be good in this business but we ain't even close yet right but the other aspect is he's already like a foot and a half taller than his dad yeah but my fur balls are a foot and a half taller than his dad that's also fair remember you have you must be this tall the wrestle card angle but he is about the right size to be sergeant slaughter's kid that's fair so let's talk about the revival segment now first but I don't want to talk about the backstage segment because that's that's 1987 coming back again but why was it that we do we bring out Hawkins and Rider we bring out the revival we go to break and then we do the make a wish thing and then we go back to the ring that was uncomfortable that was a totally wrong order to do that absolutely like they should have done would done all of that before they brought them out because you just broke the whole momentum of the match you were fixing a half it was it was a great segment yeah I enjoyed watching that but it just broke the entire momentum of that segment right you get geared up for the match and then all of a sudden it's oh we're not there unless there was a set time within the that it had to happen I can't think of why they would I know that I just say yeah I think somebody screwed the pooch on the run down is what happened oh we forgot to do this we have to do is do it right now no it's after the match was weird slowest Rey Mysterio pin ever oh god it took him a full 15 seconds to get that pin I didn't time it and I may be exaggerating but for him to get Joe into a point where he could get the pin yeah I mean granted I wasn't fully involved in that match anyway but any involvement I had was done but at the same time it's almost comedic how much Joe sells when anything goes wrong god bless Joe and AJ in the contract signing which I guess now he's heel ish he says the universal championship was the reason he came to raw I have a question didn't that decision get made for him isn't that with the superstar shakeups all about that's the point but they're selling it like it's a choice in different ways yeah but it what it's not supposed to be it's like a draft the only thing I could think that could be good with this thing we're playing for the browns is the only reason I came to the browns you didn't make that choice yeah god bless you Baker may feel but I'm telling himself and still a fan that he did the riders up at the derby so yeah but at the same time the only way this works is you get the club back together let them run heel and have Seth Rollins be the foil for that that's the only way this works well I mean Roman says he's he's going to be on a roll tomorrow night yeah apparently a desperate attempt to try and boost ratings even though the company saying he's not oh I think that's I think they're just fueling the fire of Roman it's your new stone cold because it worked with Becky somehow it's because Becky's great and I like I like Roman but the problem that we're having is Roman and the monster push yes and to me it doesn't matter if I like you I like you that's why I've never had a problem with Cena right because yes does he get a monster push every nanosecond he's on television absolutely but that's not my decision to make I'm not going to boo a guy just because the company's going to put them on or put it put itself on somebody's back I'm gonna boo a guy because I don't like him yeah but they're trying to shoehorn this stone cold angle that works so well multiple times for them and it's basically going back to the Roman versus the authority 2.0 assuming it's not 3.0 depending on your angle but there's also speaking of angle go ahead I'm sorry yeah but there's also this aspect of you're asking fans not to boo but at the same time they booed hard enough or cheered hard enough that they got co-feed about okay there's aspects where they get loud enough that it goes and there's a thing I want to touch on going back to the lashley segment real quick okay how many times does Shane O'Mac have to come out and be a void of talent and people chanting CM Punk louder than anything else gets chanted before they realize this is a bad idea we get it by taking shots with the best in the world with your least talented performer I wouldn't say he's the least talented I would I wouldn't say he's a top of this who's worse than Shane right now worse than Shane right now of the man I mean you're you're gonna put me on the spot but there are but there are guys that are definitely not that don't have if nothing else the selling talent that Shane has I don't think he has the selling talent he just basically old man turtles he shimmies he shakes and he falls off stuff that's it he doesn't know how to throw a working punch he doesn't throw a working kick well the only thing he's done well is when Andrade told him how to do a back elbow and that's as close as you get everything else is garbage from the man he could he could cut up he used to be able to cut a promo he sells now only his gimmick is the fact that he can't say anything he sells I've kind of issues with Shane O' oh he's terrible I don't have a problem but speaking of angles Kurt angle new five-year deal with the company says he undertaker isn't it but he says that he would rather he wants to be backstage producing and working with any talent which I'm totally okay with he's Kurt angle cough son Kurt angle can do whatever he wants I'm good with it that man gets a pass with me for life I just don't ever want to hear broken freaking neck again yeah you're gonna hear it happen it happened we know what happened move on let's see here Jeff Hardy now out for up to nine months he underwent successful surgery this weekend did they ever confirm what ligament it was I think I saw knee what's a knee but which part of the ligament I don't know the eye is a specific as I've seen all right uh Charlotte Flair get ready in three actually yeah three weeks she will be driving the pace car for the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Charlotte at Charlotte in the Queen City that's got to be fun man oh yeah I want I'm gonna put out the universe I want to drive the pace car at a race I don't care if it's like the the uh I don't care if it's you know the racing school bus is like we mentioned last week I want to get it's the Pinewood Derby I want to drive the pace car oh that'll be amazing this at box cars that's right I'm in let's see Daniel Bryan has been medically clear to return to the ring yes he has so there was a lot of scareiness to that he's another one every time he's in the ring yeah I fear for Daniel Bryan yeah but it's so great let's get on a Smackdown live apparently colds on this show now what what are we doing yeah but he's not at the table what about what are we doing we get Michael Cole we I've said this on the show before I respect you I I after the McAfee story I will never talk badly about you again except at WrestleMania but you did apologize to that so I'm gonna let that one slide I did like the way uh Seth put it at the end of raw though yeah that was the house that you built yeah that's Michael Cole that's not Tom Phillips let's see where are we in the notes here uh for those you're keeping track the beat team is now heel are they though they were doing the bidding Shane McMahon that makes you heal and uh some somehow the shave your shave his back chant survived an entire day but if you watched after Andrade came out and he cut his promo they really shouldn't have that camera on Orton because Orton as he was turning around and I because I can read lips yeah Orton as he was turning on what did he just say yeah easy Randall easy Randall to be to be fair it was when he was trying to call out Randy yeah the Uber heel yeah still at the still awkward uh changes at the NXT announced table yes there have Percy Watson out Beth Phoenix in wait I'm in I'm in love her yeah love everything about her she knows her stuff she can she can do analysis which that table needs yes because you've got more who's a great lead announcer absolutely Nigel I think is good as a color announcer but not really as an analyst so much he's a great contributor because what I love about Nigel is Nigel really invests himself in the match that's going on and sometimes get buddy that gets him lost in the match a little bit I think Beth can bring a technical part to it that they've needed at that table for a long time and before you feel bad for Percy Watson he does work 205 live and they're talking about expanding his repertoire there good to essentially educate him on being a bigger color commentator I'm not a huge Percy Watson fan but I believe in what he's capable of yes absolutely uh let's see Killian Dane now that Sanity is no more he's actually going back to do America NXT with his tag team partner now going to NXT UK right Alexander Wolf but he's going back to America NXT because he's an American he's not American though I don't know uh there will be an NXT takeover but they've moved it up to June 1st right and there's rumors that it's going to be I believe they said Indiana uh but they they call McAfee that's kind of what I'm thinking they're going baby but at the same time there's no confirmation of where it's going to be at this point speaking of baby yes just keep an eye on our on our video shows in the next few weeks yes told him saying also NXT is going to be in town June 22nd because I've got more weekends that are filling the summer is coming back for revenge it really is and uh you know we've got we've got that coming up we've got the G1 supercard coming up we've got Raw coming up this summer Ragnarok which I've had an idea for that I'm still flushing out that I'm very excited if we actually can pull this off I did just realize something though that's everything in a span of like three to four weeks yeah oh wow but I've also got Grace D playing at the profit bar June 14th I've got hoodie and bear naked ladies the next night you know it's it's going to be a nutso if you survive this summer I'll be surprised make it the big of through my birthday we can I think we'll be okay at least because then my birthday week also is Stranger Things Season 3 I got to figure that out too because we got to have Robin Maddie's weekend of fun right so some NXT notes where are we going with I'm just going to call them di donovan die jack because I die jack a cova vitch and Stein I don't do this donovan die jack I'm leaving it there I'm not doing it I mean at least he had a match that was longer than 20 seconds it's a good match but the whole feast your eyes thing he's been doing that for all it's a little weird still a little weird for me um kind of gutsy parodying the national anthem that was Stranger on its own level I'm there going whoa I felt like they could have done that better just from a delivery standpoint but that kid's a monster he's the dream absolutely and that crowd was singing but here's the other part though if you remember the iconic photo of everybody saluting some kids pants that was him that was him at a wrestling tournament he was the one in the stars and stars and bars or stars wearing the angle pants wearing the angle pants yet the auto mix oh dear uh I do love how the undisputed era leaves the WWE hologram stickers on their shirts I don't know why that's so funny to me but I thought the way they did that that set where it looked like they were just like in the back of a semi right that was kind of cool yes it was it looks neat it works these are the same guys who have had to cut promos like that for how many years on the Indies but let me ask you this though okay the way that promo unfolded uh-huh are we gonna have fish and Roddy and a tag team are we breaking up red dragon we better not because we already had Roddy and O'Reilly and I want red dragon but I have this funny feeling like it's a different member that gets booted than you had predicted it's the where they're I'm intrigued with where they're going with these guys well what I'm saying is is think about this if nothing else they have been borrowing I'm saying that gently from other companies for things like that what was your big American break for bullet club baby and Cody no because baby and they didn't cross over you had so baby and Omega you had Marty Skirl betraying baby to then quote unquote kill him okay and become the pseudo third person with the bucks I'm gonna go with that I'm calling it right now I'm going against your grain and saying Adam Cole's getting kicked out of undisputed era oh I don't know about that I know it's not gonna work that well for them but they're gonna do it I just want them to get that I would like to see them get rid of Roddy and I'll tell you who I just I think deserves the push to feud with them is the forgotten sons I do think that but those guys are just floundering in a mid card that they have not earned let's let's put a pin in that because there is some stories coming out of the NXT tapings this past Wednesday which I don't want to know I know you don't want to know but I'm saying you'll get your answer soon enough okay so kushita had his first NXT match this week underwhelming first of all that was a bad match for him yes it was I expected better because they faced off before there will never be a day that seeing Chris hero doesn't just it's jarring because I know who that man used to be well you know what he needs to be is he needs to be the dude at this point I almost said I almost threw out spoiler out there yeah no he needs to just walk around with a white Russian going well that's just your opinion dude that rug pulls the whole room together does that carry a rug and a white Russian to the ring like I like Chris hero I cash us oh no I can't again it's oh no no no to me although there are comparisons there but that's a bad whale joke yes it is that was just a bad choice because like oh no can wrestle yeah the dude can wrestle that match would have been great 10 years ago absolutely because I like to cheat boy his trumps are a lot simpler now aren't they a little bit geez Louise but like kushita did everything he couldn't that match absolutely and I could have dealt less back to the future references more or no I love you but let's tap the break just a little bit that's also kushita's bit I understand that but for Nigel to say he had 1.21 gigawatts of power let's let's tap the break just a little bit I get where they're going with it and oh no did not sell that hurricane rana as well at all no at all well he also outweighs him by what 150 pounds I think you're being conservative I am moving on rich swan has signed a two-year deal with impact is that because when they're homeless any money's good money while he was our exhibition champion for a while he still looks homeless I'm not saying that he doesn't especially when you sign a two-year dump and deal with a company that does a TV taping and filling that draws 200 to 250 fans yeah that's not that's real that's not an average that's an actual number like even ROH would go but there's also the added benefit that that's where his wife is yeah whatever the fact that somebody's married to him surprises so the global fight network is that what they called that thing that they were on global force global force no that's not the the app what that's not what the app was called yeah I thought it was global force no I think it was it was something because global force was Jarrett's company oh look it up but it's now called impact plus are you streaming service for seven ninety nine a month you can also pay seventy two dollars for a year the global wrestling network is what it used to be I'm sorry I just I need a way to be able to watch impact and not pay for it more than I'm already paying and I can't you know that's what I don't like about fight TV fight TV will let me watch it but I have to be by my computer at six p.m. on a Friday I got a life to lead Cha Cha yeah you should be happy I want to watch this show at all and I think they've blown their entire budget just to get great Moota to do a special with them and that dude can still go yes move it great Moot is great then a fan of that dude for 30 years that was a great spot for the super card mm-hmm was that the best big ring entrance gear we saw all that weekend there were some pretty good ones at that show I'm pretty sure Moota took top them though and I'm talking about are always with their G1 super card recap episode oh Lord Chris Jericho will be challenging Okata for the IWGP title next month a dominion very interesting because they said they wouldn't do dealings with anybody from AEW but but isn't that but technically isn't there a loophole there because Jericho's got the sweetheart deal that they all have that okay but that just is new Japan was like we're not even gonna entertain it well there's a little thing called the G1 29 climax that starts right here in Dallas Texas oh that deserves better than a rim shot no would you know my sister's gonna hear that she's gonna start getting one so I had to do something well that's why I had to anyways but apparently the tickets are not selling as well as they had hoped initially so they did start revealing wrestlers earlier than they ever have for a mid summer climax so what we have is a situation where they may be starting to expand into well these guys move the needle maybe we need to have them included in the climax I'm gonna do that every time I know that's why I went for it third time's charm I need a shower and you said expand too so Ta-da Hashi announces this week he's gonna be returning to the ring June 5th all right that puts him a month ahead of the climax but that's um I'm not doing it again but that's but isn't that isn't Dominion June 1st I believe it's that night is it June 5th I'm gonna look it up that's a Wednesday yeah but it's Japan yeah that's fair remember they always do their wrestle kingdoms on the first uh it's a Thursday yeah no it's not a Thursday it's always on the 4th okay no matter what it is we have announced that over that best friends will be part of the over the budget battle royale mm-hmm I can't wait for this show oh I'm so pumped do we still mad that I'm not there but do we figure out is that Friday or Saturday or Sunday uh that Saturday so Saturday okay so we'll have to grace these playing that way that day but it'll be during the day okay so we'll be able to pack up on the next rowlet show yes that's our show out in rowlet for the uh veterans outreach rowlet benefit very much which there may be another band playing with us that day I'm in talks with our friends from wildfire collective oh nice to play with us that day so well we're gonna find we're gonna lock that down this week we'll do a couple let's do a couple of ROH notes and then I want to get back to uh something uh before we move on yeah the show is actually June 9th so it's four days before okay so that's a Sunday how do you do that it's one of the things I can do because I know that who he's the 15th 14th which means the Sunday's the 15th which means the Sunday before that would be the 8th ladies and gentlemen are host of the right man oh the 9th yeah the 9th this would be a Tuesday because the 2nd would be a Sunday yeah yeah definitely shit your mouth um how many toothpicks I don't remember first of all I'm gonna say this you know you know I'm coming around on your boy flip Gordon yes I'm coming around that dude can wear suit yes he can yes that opening segment from ROH I am normally not a fan of the three-piece suit anymore that dude can wear suit yes he can very impressive he carried himself well and when he mentioned or when the cruise fight was mentioned I was like oh I'll like probably sell that yes I did I saw every one of his masters flip it out yeah I'm gonna need a boo no that's actually that's a TV reference I'm when they did flip cup on it's always sunny their team was called flip it out yeah okay appreciate you came up with the preferences and sin car can still work even though I'm calling him sin car and coach car now uh even though that match of the briskos was a bit of a mess I feel like I feel like problem I feel like he really can still work I like both of those guys I thought they did a great job I just think their style not brawler enough for the briskos because what I like about the briskos is they can work multiple styles yes but I think they were trying to work a brawl style with a lucha style it just didn't work for me I like both all four the guys in that in that match I'm huge fans of absolutely especially since one of them provided a great moment on the cruise for you hey no they both did I also I made a decision last night the next time Donna noise me by the way Don out on assignment today but at the next time Don noisy I'm gonna threaten to change his ring tone to cheeseburger steam music I will say I liked the physicality of that match some of the not necessarily wrestling moves that took place but some of the others that shows the strength and the training that goes into this sport both both those teams very very good yes and what was it 19 year old kid that was teaming with is that how it was they said he was really young but some braia junior junior was really good very nice flare on that sir you're welcome and it only made it the right name it definitely made it for the square dancing I was watching beforehand why were you watching square dancing a stylist young and Jonathan Grisham there was a whole bunch area in the middle where it was almost like they were you know I'm gonna give that I'm gonna give that to her I'm gonna give her points for that I like that match the square dance match I do get great we're turning just to know women in the ropes and get those they were doing the hip flip and it's like they're square dancing or do we call him Bobby Roode I don't know Robert Roode I'm taller than him I'm just saying Robert Roode with a ponytail can I taste how how demoralizing that was on a certain level to realize I'm taller than silas young like I need I need the last real man professional wrestling to be taller than me I do we've already established me out well we've already established the last real man's gonna be shorter the last true man will be taller and I'm taller than Jay leafles weird so let's talk about probably what I think might be the most intriguing story that pertains to our to our sport this week okay as we know we are now two weeks into the Fox Disney merger being official and we're gonna talk about this on both shows tonight oh yes because this is major but part of the deal was Disney could not hold on to the Fox sports regional sports networks because it was because it would have been a monopoly when you put ESPN date to it now they get FS one yes but they don't get the regional networks correct all 31 of them are getting why did I think there was more than that the 31 was the number I read are getting bought for 10.6 billion dollars with a B with a B by Sinclair Broadcasting now why that pertains to this particular show is because Sinclair Broadcasting is also the company that owns ROH and distributes ROH here locally on channel 47 or 52 depending on the day what that does for me personally as a subscriber to direct TV now which I can't watch ROH except if it's on the app and I'm a week behind right I now have the opportunity to maybe watch ROH when I'm supposed to watch it because with my package with direct TV now I get Fox Sports Southwest actually that would apply to pretty much anybody listening to this well but some of them it's a sports package some of me it's standard to put my point is everybody has that greater access than a Sinclair Broadcasting channel so I am very intrigued by this yes if it works out how we hope yeah I mean that we got a pump the brakes just a little got to put something on there they've been doing it for years as you have to ask what licensing does that come with right because I mean granted the mergers already gone through and we were we were when you and I were having lunch at Bubba's 33 today free plug sponsored the show they we were watching Fox Sports Southwest we were watching the Ranger game we were watching multiple Fox Sports not just Fox Sports Southwest specifically right but what I'm saying is is there were multiple Fox Sports and what I'm saying is is that there are more options in various locations which would expand essentially your market ability I mean it's a billion dollar company but why would you not want to expand as far as you can I agree general many thoughts from you on this I you know I'm still the root cute girl so I just have my few small apps so a whole lot of this is hard for me to access I'd rather there be one place I could subscribe to where I could get my impact my new Japan my NXT my RAW my ROH versus having to have a whole bunch of different ones to subscribe to does Fox Sports have an app I know I know Fox Sports in general I don't know that it does streaming I would be curious to look into that for next week just to see if there's a possibility that you have ROH for their record keeping Fox Sports and what are they going to rename it that's what I'm interested that's it will it be Sinclair Sports Southwest that sounds way to pompous SPS w which sounds like a really high protection from the sun rim shot I'm here to myself I'll come a lot since I've burned so easily in the sun I liked it I think that's I mean that's all I've got this week not very slow week in our sport but a little lot going on well we're in that low of the post super shows of the beginning of April and into May and we're through the fallout we're starting to get to the ramp up of what's coming next because you look at it the next major shows with all due respect to money in the bank and it's boring card are you I'm sorry no seriously could anybody be more like underwhelmed by the participants in the ladder matches for the contract I could not care less like I feel like they're obvious at this point and and see I branched out and watched some other things I hadn't seen before I did World's Collide and X to UK and I found some new wrestlers that I want to know more about like who the UK does great work I really liked Piper she's the next to UK and she was in both she was in both worlds collide and then the next to UK and I really liked her and then I also um guide last name of riddle he's got riddle bro bro bro he did really well and then at the end of that one it was a strong versus bait or versus bait and that thing that was really impressive the two of them at the end my problem with worlds collide is there taking too long to air it yes because that that tapes WrestleMania week yes but they're just now releasing it which is the problem for me I would have for somebody like you who's still learning the sport and then trying to get as that the kids like to say get on my level I wish I wish you could have seen that more timely yes okay it's not something I blame you for not your fault but this is the problem we have with the network is the first world collide they did the weekend of the rumble and they didn't air it until almost whatever that's almost fast like a weekend oh wow yeah it was crazy yeah and see that's another reason why I'd like there to be a wrestling channel that the problem is that they'd have to work together and it's never gonna happen but if we're putting you know utopia is out there why can't I put my utopia out there no you can fantasy book it in the problem that it's just the problem is we'd all love to see that but that's what they're also trying to what the original plan for all elite allegedly was which was getting new Japan ROH uh major league wrestling all these companies working together under one banner which I think they still can and I realize you may have to have you know one or two subscriptions but that beats having to have five or six just to get wrestling I have a stupid question which is my problem in general there is no stupid question if you ask the question did you get to see Matt Riddle's entrance for a match bro yeah again I don't know what it is about it but the I was not in my head kick the slide kick just tickles me every time I see it he I just I truly enjoyed that um but he was the guy on the indies for a while before he signed with uh with the company there were there were two girls in the world's collide that I didn't care for there somehow related Vanessa and Alyssa Aliyah oh yeah they're attacking yeah they're attacking actually yeah I'm well they're associated yes that high squeal girly pitch of frustration does not belong in wrestling why not just like there's no crying in baseball that I'm a pretty pretty princess and I didn't get what I wanted so I'm going to do the high pitch for your that's a heel bit though yeah I mean you look at Alexa's doing the same kind of thing you have the iconics now have belts doing the same kind of thing it's worked definitely the career I understand I understand doing the princess fit of not getting their way it's the four-year-old squeal that goes with it that just but it's worked multiple times for the company you may not like it but it's worked yeah so at the same time you have to pivot it on the same level of this annoys me but at some point that's kind of what they're going for yeah and it maybe it's just the women's divisions equipment of I got till five yeah it's it's the heel thing yeah and and maybe it's I've just seen it in like bars and F when one girl doesn't like what another girl says or looks at her man and it's just so you're saying it's a realistic moment though well it's a kind of like the Bianca Blair Mia Yim moment I'm gonna say this but we're not gonna take it any further okay it's a fake realistic moment well kind of like the Bianca Blair yeah so you what the interesting thing with that is so you have Keith Lee and Montez Ford on opposite ends of that as well fair enough and they're supposed to be working together all right we're gonna take a quick break before we get on to the main show but we want to remind you visit us on social media everything is the cheat podcast Facebook Instagram and Twitter trying to get back on the on the
