The Clubhouse – Episode 29

I did.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Oh yeah!
Good night.
Pfft.
Pfft.
Pfft.
It is that time again.
Has it been seven days since we did this thing?
Yes, absolutely.
Where does the time go, sir?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It is Tuesday nights.
It is eight o'clock on the east coast.
It is five o'clock on the west coast.
And the wheels are already in the front yard.
I was claiming some FFC, some Flava fried chicken.
You're just going to give it away part of the show while you're here?
Oh my bad.
That's the story on the show.
You don't read the run sheet before you get before the show?
Somebody just...
It is Tuesday night.
It is January the 25th of the year of our Lord 2011.
It is time for the clubhouse of Robert Cody.
I'm Rob.
That's Cody.
You'll probably hear me say that at least twice more during the next two hours.
It is our new schedule.
It is our new run sheet.
Which means we're going to change things up on you again.
It is the last Tuesday of the month.
So you know that means normally it would be ladies wrestling roundtable.
What that means tonight.
Because we don't do wrestling in one block anymore.
We're going to have the ladies on the whole show.
Mainly because I'm too lazy to mute their microphones and take them back off.
It's really important to you.
So joining us as they do each and every last Tuesday of the month.
Misty's here.
Hello boys.
Yeah, I was talking about her every week.
She is our marketing director.
To her left, if my memory serves correctly, is Charlotte.
Hola.
You just had to throw up the Long Island symbol for some reason.
I'm not sure why.
Lesson right.
How do you figure it out?
Oh, I thought you were doing like the Zach Rider Long Island thing.
Oh, you were like, I think if I'm correct, it's her left.
Because we're not.
But you are correct.
We're two and a half minutes in.
This is where the show is right now.
We're going to do corrections as we as we start the show each and every week.
We start with corrections.
We don't really have a correction as much this week as we have just kind of a follow-up.
We talked last week about Beverly Hills Cop 3 and the debacle that was.
We weren't sure exactly what the theme park was.
It was Wonder World.
Which is also sounds like a really bad Kevin Costner film that I had on LaserDisk.
Did a little research on Beverly Hills Cop 3.
Lost $13 million to the box.
Yeah, that was a bomb.
And they're trying to do another one.
She's Brett Ratner.
I got two words for you.
I don't know if Eddie could pull off another one personally.
I don't think Eddie's in that place anymore.
I mean, we had our movie marathon Saturday night.
Charlotte was here.
I like trading spaces.
They'll be trading places.
We're trading spaces.
We've got HTT.
We all watched about flipping a house or...
No, no.
We watched trading places and coming to America back to back.
You really like this place?
You're going to start looking at man cards here.
I'll always be a coming to America guy.
That was classic.
That movie is so quotable.
It just is.
A lot of them we can't even say.
That doesn't hold up.
Because he had to let his soul go out.
True.
We do have a Cody's proud to be a man moment.
And I don't know if you know what this is.
And then on the run she...
I just told him to trust me.
I'm looking forward to it.
On Monday's date, which was January the 24th.
76 years ago and a day to today.
Okay.
The first ever beer in a can.
In!
So that would make it what?
1935.
Yes.
January the 24th.
The first time beer.
That'll be in a house or a bush.
It might be Budweiser.
Haven't they been around that?
Oh yeah.
Till Pearl got in a can.
Or PBR.
PBR right in this lone star.
Not the pro-special edition all night.
I'm talking about beer for two hours.
So I had to throw that out for you.
Also Jackie Robinson signed his first contract with the Dodgers.
You just trying to take the whole show?
Oh.
Oh god.
Have a seat.
Hey guys not communicating.
What's going on?
We do have a segment called Redemption Sports Day.
So it's coming later as we do normally.
My way.
It's hard to do more man.
We just say what we want to say.
We're free form.
I love this show.
Cody spoils everything day.
This will be out next year.
It was a year ago today that Cody just took the whole show
in the first 10 minutes.
Straight lots on.
Thanks.
Chad says no.
He was not alive for the first beer in a can in 1935.
I like to see the paperwork on that.
We're going to start completely different than we ever have before.
We've got a major coming up in five days.
They're just like dappy duck there.
What was that?
And that major in five days.
Has nothing to do with Michael Buffer?
Do you have the rights to this to play this?
Allegedly.
The Royal Rumble is this Sunday.
And instead of doing a special audition because we've got a very special
special audition coming next week.
We didn't want to bombard you with shows.
We're going to say that for a later date.
We're going to do our Royal Rumble preview right now.
We've got the ladies here so we figured why not just have them in the studio
and do the whole dog on thing at one time.
The Royal Rumble happened this Sunday at seven o'clock on pay-per-view.
Contact your local cable or satellite provider for information.
Tell them I sent you.
Won't get you anything but it'll make me feel better.
Dock pay your cable bill.
No, remember we're doing it in my house.
It's a major.
So dock doesn't have to pay your cable bill.
Yeah, he's just for a month.
What we're going to do basically is we're going to run the card.
We talked a little bit last week about the fact that the Rumble match itself
is 40 superstars instead of 30 this year.
This worries me a little bit but we'll get to that in a minute.
Until last night we only had three matches on this card.
Now allegedly there could be a couple more added as Smackdown tapes tonight.
But we won't know that until after we go off the air tonight.
I heard a tag team match.
I hope so.
I mean because since either one of them right now we're on the roster for the Rumble itself
which we'll talk about here in a little while.
Divas championship match we have found out this morning will be a two on one handicap match
as Natalia takes on both of Lake Cool and Michelle McCool and Leila after Natalia
holds on to her championship last night in a very contorted if you will.
If you will match with Melina.
Cody what are you feeling on this?
Seen it.
Seen it.
Yeah I've seen it.
The only thing that might bring me along on this is maybe if Colin shows up.
Do you think she'll be in this match?
I'm ahead of myself.
I don't know because I really think that Melina is going to end up joining Lake Cool and Michelle.
That's how this whole thing happens.
Yeah, Colin I think shows up in a different capacity.
Yeah I've seen this.
I think she's faith.
You think she's what?
Faith.
Oh you think she's Nexus.
I think that's going to be her name is Faith.
Okay that's good.
Because Nexus needs.
Well they said that they're looking for a female enforcer.
And who's about more of an enforcer than that woman?
Absolutely.
You could crush me like a bug.
I've seen this.
Are they going to split the belt in half again if they win?
Probably.
Probably.
The rightful owner of the game.
I think it's going to come down to who gets the pin.
Yeah.
And that could be an instigator for them separating.
And does it turn into somebody's got her on the ropes and the other one blind tags in and gets the pin?
Right could tease the breakup here.
Right.
Because I think it's time.
I think this is your last, this is the match before the rumble.
This is the match where you tell everybody go get your sodas and your beers and what not now.
Yeah.
It's just a time filler.
That's what they need.
I just, we've got to do something new, especially in the divas division.
If you're going to try to, and maybe Vince isn't trying to compete.
Maybe he's realized that TNA is killing him in the women's division and he's just kind of throwing it out there.
Could be.
I don't think Vince has ever seen TNA as a threat.
I don't think he's ever done anything to compete with them.
I wouldn't say threat, but what I am saying is he's even got a seed.
That...
Yeah, but look what it's done to even the tag team division.
Oh that's true.
I mean he's tearing them apart.
That's a valid point.
Which is probably why I read this morning.
Remember when we talked about the briskos we're coming.
They signed the long-term deal with ROH this morning.
Really?
So, coming up next.
We've got your WWE title match as the Miz takes on Randy Orton.
I am of the firm belief that Randy holds on...
Randy does not win this match, I apologize.
The Miz holds on to this match and drops at the shameless and elimination chamber.
I just think Randy's beyond the belt.
We've got to that level with him.
I just don't know...
But we talked about this on the show too.
I just don't know if Randy Orton win in the title does anything with the product.
Or does anything for him?
Yeah, he's at that level now.
Well he's one of those guys like Triple H.
You don't need the belt to be a top guy in WWE.
I think it's getting that way with all the guys that make all the money.
Right.
They're now all...
They don't need the belt.
Yeah.
I mean Cena doesn't need the belt to sell merchandise.
Right, but the...
I'm trying to think of how I'm trying to say this.
Guys like Triple H and Cena to an extent right now until he realizes that he wants the belt again.
These are guys that don't need the belt but the belt needs them.
Yeah.
The belt needs to have Triple H holding on to it.
Right.
Because if you put it on, you know, if you keep it on the Miz much longer,
it starts to cheapen the value of the belt.
Unfortunately, you've got Edge with the World Heavyweight Championship
where this is a guy that's got skins on the wall that doesn't hurt.
Right.
You know, Edge doesn't hurt that belt.
Yeah.
Somebody like the Miz before too much longer is going to start to hurt that belt.
See, I'm kind of torn because like at first I was like,
I hate the Miz.
I can't stand it.
I feel like you're giving that belt to anybody.
But now he's starting to grow on me.
I like him.
He's growing on me and I think he's going to buy him.
As a character, Vince has finally left it on somebody to where they can do something with it.
I kind of adapt to it.
Yeah, but I don't think to me, I just don't look at Miz and go,
he's the guy that's going to carry my belt.
Because if you look in the years past, let's just real quick.
Okay.
Number one, please in this feud with him in Orton.
Miz move on to the chamber or whatever y'all are going to do.
But to me, they look very awkward in the ring together.
If you see...
I agree with you there.
They don't do well.
That's not a knock on either one of them.
It's just there's no ring chemistry there.
There's none.
Maybe not.
They're horrible on television.
I mean, Cena and Barrett had better ring chemistry.
Yeah, there's no ring chemistry there with them.
Another thing is...
One thing Vince hasn't done is look at Randy's first reign.
Two weeks.
Yeah?
Can't just first reign.
Three weeks.
Well, that's why they were called transitional champions.
And the Miz is kind of stuck around that belt.
And I like him.
I think he's going to stick and make his decent in the ring.
I think Alex Riley being around him cheapens it.
Yeah, we've got to get him away.
Because Alex Riley just...
To me, the Miz doesn't need a wacky.
No, he doesn't.
But that's another opportunity for an additional storyline.
Eventually he's going to turn.
I hope so, but that cat's lucky he's got a job.
He's been around him for almost a year.
Yeah.
Because if you remember NXT fired up last March.
Right.
So...
Well, I always think that Randy's better for the product
when he's chasing the belt.
I think he does much better than when he's got it.
But then when he gets it, he dies.
Yeah, I mean, we're talking about that last month.
That makes the point right now.
Orton needs to be pushed a bit longer and stronger
as a face before he's at that level and I agree.
The problem that you face with Orton
is you flip-flop him so much
and you don't necessarily even tween him.
Right.
Where somebody like Triple H used tween for the better part
of a decade.
Somebody like the undertaker who's tweened forever in a day.
It's kind of like we just keep flopping.
Orton...
If you're going to let him tween, let him tween.
And I think that's part of the problem that you face.
It's almost changing his gimmick every other month.
But look what they do as soon as he has the belt.
Who do they put him up against?
It's kind of hard when you don't have great competition
on the other side.
I mean, it can't be Orton and Cena again all the time.
Well, who would you want him to feud with?
Well, that's what's hard right now.
There's really...
I mean, I might say there's an answer and there isn't.
I just...
I wonder what your opinion is.
That's why they've got him up against somebody like the Miz.
I don't know.
Eventually...
If you give Orton the belt, then you've got to bring H back.
Which...
Well, that's...
That's going to happen in five days.
There's no doubt in my mind if we're going to talk about that in a while.
I think that's a perfect feud.
And he's on the schedule on some shows for March.
So, they've got to bring him back soon.
Sweet.
I'm picking you.
Also, your World Heavyweight title match.
Edge faces the number one contender.
And let me say this for this people in the cheap seats.
The number one contender for the World Heavyweight title
is Dolph Zegor.
And don't put it past Dolph to win that thing.
If he does, he carries it to a limiting chamber.
I'm showing you.
Don't put it in a...
I've already said both belts change hands in a limiting chamber.
I've wrote down here another short run for Edge.
I don't think so.
I've never held a belt longer than two months.
Well, here's my problem with this.
He's right.
He's absolutely right.
Because what happens is he gets injured.
Or they put it on the next hot thing.
Or he's never had a decent run.
He's always just the go-to guy.
Here's why I don't think Edge drops this belt.
This program with Zegor is two weeks old.
And it's horrible.
It's all about Vicky.
Right.
But if you're going to build a program,
you're not going to drop the belt in two weeks.
I think he holds on again.
I think he holds on to it till elimination chamber.
I think the belt changes both belts change hands.
Because I've set it before and I'll say it again.
Miz goes to elimination chamber.
Drops the belt to Shamus.
Shamus H.
WrestleMania.
Put it in stone.
H gets the win back.
King versus King.
Got him.
Is that a WrestleMania main event?
If it gets to triple H.
You get the title back?
I'm okay with it.
Because you know.
It's just like you've told me for years.
He ain't going to job at WrestleMania again.
Yeah.
He's done it.
He's done it.
That's all you can hunt.
Well, and that's like I was saying earlier.
They've got Shawn Michaels supposedly.
His deal is apparent no in ring.
Right.
I'm okay with that.
Let's get on with this main event.
Of course you got your what?
What are those?
Because you've got people that don't listen in this market.
Yeah.
I've got some opinions on this.
I've got some opinions on this.
The 40 man over the top battle royal.
The winner gets a title shot too.
And I hate when they say they main event WrestleMania.
You co-main event WrestleMania.
When did it switch from being you won the title to just getting a title shot?
The title was only on the line once.
That's what we'll talk about about later.
It used to just be you just won the rumble.
Just kind of showed up.
And now the title shot happened what about five years ago they started doing that.
That's a fairly recent phenomenon.
It used to just be whoever wins wins.
92 was different because Hogan had been stripping the title which we'll talk about a little bit later.
But this is a fairly recent phenomenon.
Let me give you what's been released today.
We have 28 names released today.
I'm doing them in alphabetical order by the beginning of their names because that's how I saw it listed.
Alberto Del Rio.
CM Punk.
Dashin Cody Rhodes.
Daniel Bryan.
Darren Young.
David Hart Smith.
David O'Tonga.
Drew McIntyre.
Ezekiel Jackson.
Heath Slater.
Husky Harris.
Jack Thwager.
John Cena.
John Morrison.
Justin Gabriel.
Mark Henry.
Mason Ryan.
Michael McGillicuddy.
Primo.
Archery.
Ray Mysterio.
Sheamus.
Ted DiBiasi.
Tyson Kid.
Wade Barrett.
William Regal.
Yoshi Tatsu and Zach Ryder.
Are all the names that have been released now.
What I'm going to give you now are 12 more names that I think get involved.
Let's just do the obvious one first.
Triple H is number 40.
Kane.
Not listed.
Undertaker.
Depending on the development of this injury.
Not listed.
Savage.
I think it's a possibility because you've got to have a couple of legends in this thing.
You always have.
Trent Barrett is named.
Not listed.
If you're going to put Primo in our truth in this thing.
Trent Barrett has to be considered.
Santino Morella.
Not listed.
His tag team partner.
Vladimir Kozlov.
Not listed.
But we've talked about the possibility of a match.
Wouldn't be the first time a guy's worked twice in a rumble.
Which is great.
Ricky Steamboat.
The guy can go.
I think we all know this.
That's awesome.
Kofi Kingston.
Not listed.
He doesn't have an opponent.
But he might have one tonight.
But Jack Swagger is already in the rumble.
Chris Jericho.
Don't put it past him.
I don't know.
I'd love to see it though.
Chavo Guerrero.
Not on the list.
Again, if you're going to put Primo in our truth.
You've got to put a couple of these other mid to low card guys in as well.
And a guy that showed up on Raw last night.
That could be the monkey and the wrench between the core and the Nexus.
Michael Tarver.
Not on the list.
Hmm.
Well, let's be honest.
I don't care if it's 40 or 50 or 100.
There's only about five guys going to win this.
Right.
I've done my list.
I want you to give me your five and then I'll give you mine.
Cena, Punk, Morrison, Barrett, Andor, Shamus, and Triple H.
You've got one that I have.
Four of my five are different from your list.
My number one right now.
I've set it for two months and I'm not going away from it.
Triple H is the number one person on my list.
Number two is the only one we have in common and that's John Morrison.
I don't think John Morrison wins but I think he's got a better chance than Primo.
Yeah.
Why am I picking on Primo tonight?
I'm throwing him to the bus.
I thought he left with Carlito.
No, no, no, no, no.
Carlito left.
He's not green.
Because I haven't seen Primo.
It's because you're not watching superstars.
Oh.
He's on superstars every week.
Okay.
Number three on my list.
Jericho.
Nobody thought he'd win the undisputed title.
But doesn't that kind of ruin your whole he's the general manager thing?
Does it mean he won't?
Yeah.
My number four.
And this is a credible big dark horse.
But it may be time given the angle that he's in.
Teddy D. Viosi.
No.
Given the fact that he's on this skid with Maurice.
No.
To me, he's a dark horse and I'm sticking by that.
And number five.
And this, my number five, shocks me that is not on your list.
Because this is one of your guys.
And a guy that I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to,
this is something I was going to say for later in the show,
but I'm going to say it now.
I will concede to Cody's opinion that this guy wins a major title.
And I say he does it in the year of our Lord 2011.
Alberto Del Rio.
Yeah, they're pushing the fool out of him.
He could win the Royal Rumble.
And I think, I really think he's got one of those two big belts
before New Year's Eve of this year.
I'd be okay with that.
And I'm willing to put that in public to say he's the new Rey Mysterio.
But I think he's half of the new Rey Mysterio.
And you missed this last night.
We were talking about this watching Raw.
If you put him and Evan Born together, that's Rey Mysterio.
And I think we've talked about this with Evan Born before.
This has been telling Rey we can do this without you.
I've got guys that can take your spot.
I've got a guy like Evan Born that can do things
that you haven't been able to do in about a decade.
And if I'm worried about the Hispanic appeal,
I've got Alberto Del Rio.
And this guy's already a legend.
We've got, I think Evan Born's coming back.
I think he'll be in the Rumble.
I don't have him listed, but he made his FCW return this weekend.
So it's possible that his ring rust could get done pretty quickly.
Is that mean that you've given up on sting coming out?
I'm giving up on sting with anything WW related.
Yes, the window is closed.
If this thing hasn't been on less, unless this...
I feel he comes out in his suit.
Unless Vince pulls a Luger, um, fish off situation, it's over.
It's done.
And it hurts me to say that.
Because that's my leader.
But apparently, Sting's got this incredibly...
Just err with about it, and I don't understand it.
Any other input on the Rumble Sunday night?
They better, they're gonna have to do something to get some viewers back.
I agree.
Just pay per view for them, it's not been great lately.
Well, that leads us to our classic match of the week.
Very excited about us talking about this.
All of us watched...
Most of us watched it last night.
Cody, I don't know when you watched this.
But we watched last night, the 1992 Royal Rumble,
which in my opinion is still probably my favorite Rumble ever.
Let's talk about that.
Let me get myself organized, so I'm ready to go.
Because I've got a lot to talk about here.
This match, as Misty said earlier, was for the WWF title.
This was the Eagle Bell.
I don't know if you saw Tony hold it in the very beginning.
I didn't realize the Eagle Bell had been used this early on.
Cody, do you remember when that bell came in?
Savage at WrestleMania 5.
Was it?
That early?
Wow!
I didn't realize that.
That would have been what?
89?
Yeah.
88.89?
That's amazing.
Thank you Cody, the Encyclopedia.
Hey Cody, Cody picks up my slack.
There's no doubt in my mind.
This happened on January the 1992 at the Nicarbaca Arena in Albany, New York,
which became the Pepsi Arena until 2007, and it's currently the Times Union Center.
Something we were talking about last night.
I don't know if you know how much history this building has.
Let me throw this at you Cody.
This is the same arena where Angle beats the rock for his very first WWF title.
This is the same arena where Edge wins his first WWF title.
This was the arena that had the very first live ECW on sci-fi network.
This was the arena that held the very first TNA live event that was not held in the asylum.
This was also the very same arena of Austin and the beer truck.
All of that happened in this arena.
There were 17,000 people there that night.
Again, it was for the vacated WWF title that was stripped from Hogan after two controversial pay-per-view matches
at the 91 Rumble and the Tuesday in Texas paper.
It was a Survivor Series 91.
Okay, then my source has had a Survivor.
I'll say the Rumble is a long time. Survivor Series makes more sense.
As a result of stripping Hogan out the title, Jack Tony tells Hogan both Hogan and the Undertaker
that in the Royal Rumble match they were guaranteed that their number draw will be
between 20 and 30 as kind of his consolation there.
The rest of the card that night in a dark match, you had Chris Walker defeating the Brooklyn Brawl.
Who's Chris Walker?
There wasn't even a clickable link for him.
The new foundation of Owen Hart and Jim Knight Hart defeated the Orient Express of Tannaka and Kato with Mr. Fuji.
Roddy Piper beats the Mounty with Jimmy Hart for the Intercontinental title.
Wasn't that the one where the loser had just been a Knight?
Yeah, Alcatraz?
Yeah, no, that was Piper and Hogan.
Had to spend the night in the jail in New York.
Okay, is that what it was?
Yeah.
The Beverly Brothers with the genius Lenny Poffo.
Greatness.
Defeat the Bushwackers with Jamison.
The natural disasters, earthquake and typhoon with Jimmy Hart.
Defeat the Legion of Doom by a count-out for the tag titles so that the Bunts didn't move.
And we'll talk about the aftermath here in just a little while.
I'm not going to go all over all the numbers here with you.
I'm going to give you a couple of stats.
Longest time in the match, of course, your winner, the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
As he stays in at number three and goes 59 minutes and 26 seconds.
Also, the shortest time was registered by Hercules, who was in the match for all of 56 seconds.
Who do you think eliminated the most people in this match?
Probably Hogan.
No.
Sid.
Yeah, he was a monster.
Sid came in at number 29 and eliminated five guys.
I like him.
I've always liked him.
We'll talk about him a little bit later.
I've always liked him.
And the longest non-winner time.
Davey Boy.
Nope.
Davey Boy went 23 and a half minutes.
He was in there for a long time.
He was number one and was eliminated by Flair.
Rowdy, Rowdy, Piper.
34-06.
He was number 15.
He was the 26th man eliminated and he was eliminated by Sid.
To me, what really makes this match is the commentary.
Again, you've got the magic of Heinen and Gorilla.
Well, another thing about this.
I don't understand.
This was a...
Vince was fixing to lose a lot of money because not too long after this
Vince invested in something called the WBF, which was a world-wide federation.
It wasn't Luger.
Yeah, that's how they introduced Luger into the WWE as they made him one of these guys.
Vince ended up losing a ton of cash in this venture.
To me, this was the last time Vince had a hold on the business till 97.
I think after 92 Rumble, you kind of...
Things like that.
You see WBF started coming real early on.
Right, hard letting a guy that could generate just a heck of a whole lot of ratings or money.
And you had a lot of guys that were on the verge.
Yeah.
For instance, Sean in this match who was number six, he was in there for almost 16 minutes.
I don't know if you noticed this.
True.
Missed two super kicks.
Missed them completely.
Yeah.
One of them Flair caught it and then fell down.
Greatness.
Thank you, Rick.
Stay down, Rick.
He ended up kicking behind Bulldog.
Yeah.
He was kind of rusty.
Which I thought was weird.
But yeah, this was a weird time for the business.
92 to 97 was very, very weird.
And this was kind of the beginning of that.
You also had Flair to...
Did you notice that when Piper brought the knee lift up, Flair did a full flip in the air?
Yes.
It was great.
To me, this is...
Look, when I think of Rick Flair, I think a 92 Rumble.
The two steps in the fall.
Yep, but he did that three or four times in this match.
Just watching him in Piper.
It was like Chad said last night I was watching it.
One of his favorite things is when Flair would face Piper,
and Piper would hit him with that eye poke,
and that hair would just go flying.
Absolutely.
Chad's favorite thing that Flair does.
Did you know who held the record before Flair said it with this match?
They said it during the match.
Probably, Andre.
Rick Martell.
Rick Martell.
Oh, the model.
He was just Rick Martell at this point wearing the Pepto trunks.
Yeah, the big one.
52 minutes.
He was...
Remember who won the very first Rumble?
Hogan.
Duggan.
Duggan, that's right.
Duggan won the original round.
And he was looking good.
This was about the time...
That's relative to say Duggan looks good.
You could say it looked good for Duggan.
Compared to like him being here now.
This was about the time that...
I think Vince was getting ready to see if he could do this without Hogan.
Without Savage.
Well, because the fallout from this Hogan was supposed to get the rematch at WrestleMania.
Hogan bolts for WCW, so what Vince does after Sid turns on him at the end of the match.
What Vince does is he gets Savage involved.
And then we turn into the...
Undersold feud.
Yeah, great feud.
Great.
Where it went too long, but great.
Now, wasn't this the feud too?
Didn't...
Flare say he had certain pictures?
Yeah, in the Elizabeth.
Yeah, in the towels by the pull was R&F and it stood for Rick and Elizabeth or Liz or...
Great Rick.
Well, it wasn't his main feud though with Jake the Snake.
Because he had just slapped Elizabeth.
Not too.
That was ending.
Yeah, that was ending.
Because that was after a match made in Heaven Match.
Because Hell and Summers laughed.
And after this, Jake the Snake ran out of the ring.
Something like that.
But he's right.
They were wrapping it up.
Because that had started at Summers land during the wedding if you remember.
And this was actually a feud that was started between Jake the Snake Roberts and the Undertaker.
And this was also Jake the Snake Roberts last appearance in a WWE ring at that WrestleMania till 1996.
And another thing that Chad said last night, did you notice how young taker looked?
Yeah.
Straight off that Texas red, baby brother.
He realized he's been in this business too long.
Almost.
Almost 30 years.
Yeah.
27 years now.
That's amazing.
I mean, it was something that Chad said he looks like a high school bully.
Like, you know what he kind of does.
A great match.
He didn't have a great line in the beginning when Tony was in the ring and had the belt.
He said, Tony's the greatest president since Noriega.
Some of him's best work to me is in this match.
To me, he never had a better chemistry with anybody but monsoon.
I mean, he could work with anybody, but his work with monsoon always gold.
That was a great game.
That was a great game.
And of course, after the match, the greatest part of the promo except Rick was Oakland going.
Hey, hey, put that cigarette out.
You can't smoke in here.
That was not real weird.
That was supposedly legit.
Was that when the, when the payphone was spun?
No, that was, that was WrestleMania.
Okay.
The great Sean Mooney.
Sean Mooney.
I'm not sure he used to word great and Sean Mooney in the same sentence, but it's America.
It's your opinion.
Well, I just want to say that.
From the ladies perspective, what did you think of the match?
Well, I loved watching it.
Thank you for making me watch it because not only did it bring back all kinds of memories, but.
I just saw how there's just such a different.
Yeah, they're in there.
They're, they're different nowadays.
Nowadays, they're big and they're musly and they just grow.
Yeah, but you had a couple of those guys like.
He's a big boss man.
He kicked his head.
I mean, his leg over his head.
I mean, they were actually, it looked like they were actually wrestling like they were actually running.
They were, it just was, was really cool to see.
I've always been very curious of how you book a match like that.
Do you just go, here's the order you're coming in.
Here's who's going to get ready to go.
Yeah, well, and you can tell when some of them are like looking for somebody to wrestle or they're just standing there in the corner.
And something that Brandon just said that he was amazed.
And, you know, as we were watching the watching the match and going, he's no longer with us.
He's no longer with us.
Yeah, that's true.
There's a lot of, a lot of deads in that.
Yes, sir.
Another good match.
Another great match.
We'll have another classic match for you next week.
If you thought of one, because I'm going to go ECW on you next week.
Really?
You're going to make me dig, aren't you?
Because you are, you are more of an ECW sort of than I.
You, you were knee deep in that deal.
Oh, man.
Now you got me thinking.
I want to thank everybody listening.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Welcome to the, we have a reset here in our death of 33 minute mark.
Welcome to the clubhouse with Rob and Cody right here on you stream.
We appreciate you being here.
Visit our website.
www.theclubhousewithRobinCody.com.
Some big things coming down very, very soon.
I'm very excited about where the show's going and the things we're doing.
You want to follow us on Twitter.
You can do that.
This is, this is America.
It's the World Wide Web.
I am yes, that Rob Irvin, ERVIN.
I am Cody, PS Hawk.
I'm Misty Ann, 78.
And she is Sharla at internet.com.
That's right.
A few sayers.
Also to make sure you follow our Facebook page.
The clubhouse podcast is what it's listed under.
We break headlines there all the time.
I was not afraid to break the headline of Janores Jenkins.
Be invested for marijuana.
I broke Eggman's divorce.
You did.
You broke that before a lot of people did.
And we, well, heck, we broke Christina Aguilera a week ago.
Everybody's talking about it Monday.
What's how we roll on the clubhouse with Rob and Cody?
I'm not saying we got sources, and I'm not saying we don't have sources.
So I'm saying.
Let's get into a little music news right now.
Saw something the other day that absolutely blew my mind.
Chad's wife and I were talking about this a couple of weeks ago.
The phenomenon known as Susan Boyle.
If you don't know who this lady is, she won Britain's Got Talent
last year or year before.
She's an older-looking lady.
Maybe it looks like somebody that, you know, might serve you tea.
Very nice kind of grandmotherly, I guess you could say.
And just all of a sudden opens her mouth to saying,
I dreamed a dream and blows the roof off the place.
That voice didn't fit that persona.
She went through some things.
She won the competition.
She got her recording contract.
She kind of went nuts a little bit because she couldn't handle a fame.
Found out that in 14 months,
she sold 14 million albums.
Huh.
Let that sink in.
Congratulations.
She went platinum every month.
Susan and Boyle.
Susan.
Susan.
Do you listen to the show?
He's given away plot points.
He's not listening to the show.
Oh, Chad is saying she actually lost the competition to a dance troupe.
So she did not win Britain's Got Talent.
But she's got a recording contract.
Very exciting news for me personally in this next story.
I've been clamoring for this for months.
And we found out late Sunday,
a little bit more exposition on Monday.
This band right here has a brand new album finally coming out.
After three years,
the boys from Mississippi
and Brad Arnold and the boys from three doors down.
Have a brand new album coming out.
It's called Time of My Life.
It releases April 12th.
The first single is called Wind.
You were young.
A lot of early speculation about this album
is it's going back to the first album.
Because they kind of considered themselves to be Southern Rock
when they first came out.
Then they kind of win.
They're last couple of albums.
Well, they're last couple of albums, especially 17 days.
You get to about track six and it sounds like one long song.
Am I missing something on this side of the room?
I said squarely.
I use that term.
I'm not afraid to use that term.
But they're saying this is going back to the better life.
But I'm very excited about.
I love these guys.
They're going to tour overseas first.
Then bring it back to an American tour in the summer.
That's what they're saying.
So I'm very excited.
Let's go to the state I was born in for this next story.
Or hatch depending on who you ask.
I'm not here to judge you.
That's what I mean.
I won't.
And this comes from billboard.com.
We're going to go to Clinton Island
where a Kentucky fried chicken has a brand new
brand new establishment next door.
Also a chicken joint that is being opened by a celebrity.
And if you were listening in the top of the show.
You can guess what that is.
But if you don't take it to them.
Oh, that's right.
You heard me.
If you know what this intro is,
you know you're at least down to two people
that could own this place.
Can we get the song started here?
I'll just wait till the song starts.
There we go.
Always like this song.
Opening up to the right thing.
So you're thinking, okay, this is public enemy.
It's Chuck D.
Oh, my friend on Trail mode.
Flave of Flave Chicken has opened right next door
to the KFC in Clinton, Iowa.
Flave has been there preparing for the launch
that opened on Monday.
Often visit for promotions and even work the friar.
Good.
He said something to pay for all his tasks for it.
Yeah, I'm kidding.
He says it's the first in a chain that stemmed
from the 99 cent wings he served at Mama Camino in Las Vegas.
His business partner is the brother of that restaurant's owner.
So you're like, okay, we'll roll that.
His real name, by the way, William Dreyton Jr.
if that ever comes up on Final Jeopardy.
Apparently, he has a culinary degree.
Charlotte, would you like to give me a reaction
from my side on that?
Just because you eat a lot of food after you get high
doesn't mean you have a culinary degree.
True.
But this is more billboard.com is claiming this.
Good luck to him.
Chuck D had quite a bit to say on Twitter today about this.
He's very curious.
I would eat there.
I tried.
I tried.
I'll tell you what though.
You'll never not know what time it is.
I'm just saying.
Man, uh, uh, uh.
Chuck, delicious chicken.
It was Chad dancer for that.
New releases musically this week.
I had to put this first one on there just because of the name of this band.
I wondered if it was a misprint.
No, this is the actual name of this band.
The name of the album is Pogo Split.
The name of the band is Bad English.
Does anybody actually know this band?
I don't, but I thought it was hilarious.
So I'll give him a free plug.
It's not like anybody's paying for anything.
Do you plug it on this show?
So we're good.
Cold War Kids.
Very popular with the kids right now.
Their new album, Mine is Yours, releases today.
Po-Wall.
Who is from Houston if I'm not mistaken.
That's correct.
Has a new album today.
I'm not told if there are any Brooke Hogan tracks on it or not.
She don't know about us.
Hey, don't say it.
And then we always have to have that one old band that has to make a comeback.
Last week it was Greg Olman.
Or Jason Sudeikas on Tiger Night Live, whichever you prefer.
This week we're going to go to a brand new album from this band right here.
So produced.
This is like 1874.
Would you know they got their name by playing Scrabble?
Did they really fog hat?
Those are the letters on his little travel thing and they are just like sure why not.
They shouldn't let people like that into music.
I can't hear this band and I think of Jim Carrey that year.
Was it the VMAs where he came dressed as the stoner?
He's like, what can it get more fog hat, man?
They have a brand new album that releases today called Last Train Home.
Please don't, shouldn't he left the station?
I'm tired of people that are irrelevant putting out albums.
But you know what?
I've said it before and it's kind of the model that I use in sci-fi.
If you're an actor or an actress and you can get yourself on a marginally successful science fiction film franchise or television show,
you never have to work again because you can work the convention circuit for the rest of your natural life.
And it's the same way with especially 70s and 80s music.
If you were an assembly popular band in the 70s or 80s, this is the time to do it again.
Don't encourage it.
I don't have to. It's happening on its own.
Skinner releases a new album.
If anybody can do an album, let's do one.
We'll do one. We'll release one.
Some of us allegedly may have.
We'll get it nominated for a Grammy.
I'm not saying that the son of the live most manly dream of.
The son of the Trinity.
The son down rough neck.
She just never knows who's going to show up in this studio.
Huge in Japan.
Huge in Japan.
Let's change gears up on you a little bit again.
We got a little bit more sports to talk, which we will do.
The Pearl Snap Boys.
Didn't they open for the son of the Trinity?
Okay.
The Pearl Snap Boys.
Inside.
Inside joke.
Very inside.
Let's talk a little basketball, shall we, sir?
We should.
As we are currently in the studio keeping an eye on the Mavericks hosting the Clippers.
They're down five nothing.
They're losing to the Clippers.
It's a great blatant griffin.
Yeah, I'm a blatant griffin.
It's carrying Dallas.
That kid's a beast of doubt.
Um, news out of the, this is probably old news, but kind of shocking.
The Carmelo talks have.
They're done.
What?
You talk about an owner that's kind of just putting his foot down.
Yeah.
I mean, I think it was getting a little stupid.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
He's, that was awful lot of talk about a guy who, let's be honest.
To me, when I, he's a very selfish player.
That's a problem with Carmelo.
He's a very, play with AI.
Probably AI taught him.
I'm going to drive the whole.
I'm going to shoot and then y'all other four guys just kind of run around me.
And that's not, he's poison for any team, especially if you're Dallas.
New Jersey, you can't get any worse than New Jersey.
So him going over there doesn't matter.
Yeah, but they've got a, they've got an owner that knows how to high five for a while.
In a weird move also.
High five.
Uh, Stoyaka Vitch, now a Maverick.
Pasia that happened on Monday.
Uh, Friday, the NBA went.
Whoa, Cuban.
I thought he was kind of a collusion, maybe?
Collusion.
And was this guy really worth it?
Well, Brandon texted me last night right after work and he said,
is it true that that Pasia is a Maverick?
And I said, yeah, because what the Mavericks need is apparently is more outside shooting.
Um, I mean, is, is Pasia going to drive the lane?
Yeah, I mean, that's what the Mavericks.
The Sturks not.
Yeah, somebody's got to drive the lane on this team.
That's my whole deal with the Mavericks.
I've said it for years and I'll continue to say it until it changes.
This team does not have a leader and it does not have heart.
And when you don't have those two things, you can't win.
You can't win.
Of course, Papa Vitch coaching the West All-Stars.
Absolutely, very well deserved in my opinion.
Yes, most underrated coach in the NBA for years.
We watched a little deal on him on the television before we got into pre-show.
And, um, almost all-star weekend.
Getting two more weeks.
Two more weeks.
Two more weeks.
Well, week after the Super Bowl, isn't it?
Yeah, it's something.
Uh, yes.
Where is All-Star game this year?
Do we know?
If you haven't asked me, I could have told you.
Yeah, let me see if I can look that up before you go on doing that.
Stand somebody in the chat room.
Got that.
Uh, Brandon is saying it's in LA.
Again.
Sweet.
Well, summer slam is going to be there again.
Why not, true?
And then standings.
That's where the champs are.
That's true.
Hey, till somebody knocks them off.
No, dad, it's not in Cantonish.
It's not being held in Tyler the oil palace.
There's a moonshine in All-Star.
There's a moonshine in All-Star.
Not much has changed, but there's been a gap.
And I've noticed this.
I think I'm an Eastern conference guy.
That would be baby.
I don't know.
I drew up grip obviously here in Dallas,
but I've always kind of, I like Eastern basketball.
Were you West Philadelphia born and raised?
On the playground, most of my days.
Okay, so let me make sure.
In the Atlantic Division, Boston's now open up to a tin and a half on the Knicks.
The Knicks are just that things they might have given their arm for Carmelo.
Because that thing is imploding.
In the Central, Chicago's open up to 13 over Indiana.
A LA staple center is hosting the All-Star game.
Brandon got it right.
And then Miami.
Only two up on Atlanta.
So that thing is-
That gap's getting a little closer.
Yeah, Atlanta is still trying to, and then now,
you also have Orlando's falling back to third at two and a half.
And Cleveland, you're 22 and a half out of first place.
A team that-
I was told guarantee they could win a title without LeBron.
I believe they have.
I believe they said that.
I believe I read that.
That's really easy.
Oklahoma City won up over Utah in the Northwest Division in the Western Conference.
LA, 11 up over Phoenix.
The Lakers kind of look kind of shaky the last two weeks.
That was 14 our last show.
It's January.
Yes, it's January.
So remember what we said last week on this very show.
We don't start really projecting things until after the break.
In the NBA, you have such a playoff built league.
Just get in.
Yeah, be the top eight.
Get in stuff happens.
Just giving everybody a chance to catch up.
In the Southwest,
San Antonio's eight and a half up on New Orleans and nine up on Dallas.
So Dallas has fallen into third in the Southwest.
So if you're a Maverick guy,
this thing's gotten weird.
Let me ask you this.
This is a headline that came down up.
I believe it was slate on Monday.
Rumors of instilling the franchise tag in basketball.
If those of you that don't know,
a franchise tag is put on a player to wear for one year.
They cannot go anywhere.
They are locked into their team for the year.
The NFL does this.
In some cases, it's gone well.
In other cases, it's created a lot of animosity.
For instance, if this would be the NBA,
LeBron would still be in Cleveland.
Because they put a franchise tag in him.
He'd had to stay another year.
That kind of changes the whole complexion of everything.
I don't know if it works in the NBA.
Well, I've got to do something.
Because the thing with the NBA is I think last year,
but we saw with LeBron and Wade and that big coup
with Bosch.
That'll never happen again.
The league will never allow that to happen again.
In my opinion,
they've got to do something because you can't really build a team anymore.
In NFL either.
Because we live in a what have you done for me lately?
That's true.
That's true.
NBA needs a lot of help.
They've got to defug the league.
Good luck.
Kills about the NBA.
Good luck.
All you've to griffin.
I just saw that as soon as Brandon put that in the chat room.
Good.
It's just there's too much that goes on in the NBA to me
that just there's just always something.
Yep.
With these guys.
So I think they need to I agree with LeBron.
I think they need to shrink the league.
I remember he now he says he never actually got a contraction.
Well, I think contractions good for the league.
Toronto doesn't need a team. Memphis does not need a team.
To me, New Orleans doesn't need a team.
But a lot of people would argue the same thing about Oklahoma City.
That's true.
Who is a team right now that is thriving.
Yes, making money.
Making money.
And got a kid that's committed.
Yeah.
Which you don't see a lot in markets like that anymore.
That's true.
But that's NBA talk.
Getting closer and closer.
The All-Star break.
I don't know if there's going to be much changes.
Is some of these leads are crazy big.
But again, it all changes in the playoffs.
Everybody's going out.
That's true.
That's just like I always say about the NFL.
The Deaf and Super Bowl.
We're all undefeated again.
It's all next year.
Let's get into a little TNA talk.
After I sent out the run sheet today, a headline.
High jacked my entire TNA segment.
Rick Flair.
Nature.
Apparently, it's found in Nature Boy.
Yeah.
Good.
Do it on Vince's programming, though.
This comes, you know.
This comes from PWI Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
From their insider website.
The Rick Flair incident in Dublin.
Which apparently they were getting on a plane to fly to Germany.
To Berlin.
And Rick had a little altercation.
Said he wasn't getting on the plane.
And the show went in Berlin without him.
He was not there.
It was said to have been driven by Flair demanding money in advance from a member of TNA management.
They're not saying who.
When his request wasn't granted, Flair allegedly tried to play hardball, refusing to get on a bus that was taking them to the airport for their flight.
The incident led to a decision made to leave Flair behind.
Since he refused to get on the plane, had it not.
And this also had not been the first time, apparently, this had happened on this tour.
According to one person that they were spoken to, there were members of the roster in favor of leaving him behind,
due to this outburst, and some were mocking him, using signature prey.
Hey, the lock that he was left behind.
You know, mocknage.
A lot of discussion regarding how much he was partying on the road during the tour that may have factored into this decision.
It's real quick.
Mr. Belding court side tonight.
Oh, is he really?
Yeah.
Good to know.
And as of 4.50 central time this afternoon, TNA has said that Flair has left the European tour.
Good.
Leave the company.
He's addicted to smearing off ice.
Well, could be.
I don't know what they happen over there.
It's Rick being Rick.
Yeah, but how sad is that?
He left him behind.
Gunner's saying Rick Flair has been jacked around out of so much money in his career and blow your mind.
And no in TNA, they probably owe him money.
He needs to stop getting the horse.
Yeah, and the tour was apparently named a maximum woo-hoo to her, which probably hurts them a little bit.
Yeah.
But I mean, Rick's not a guy in the business right now can hold a camel to what Rick's done.
Nobody.
There's only one in here in that promotion.
Yeah.
So just Rick Flair is a legend.
Rick, come home.
Put the horseman.
Do your buddies a solid.
Put him in the hall of fame.
It's a bad product.
I think that promotion is on life support as it is.
And if you don't think it's a bad promotion, let me tell you something.
Once we get to impact, I've got one note.
One.
Well, if I baseball and everything, it's what have you done for me lately?
Yep.
I mean, what has he done lately?
Legend.
Yeah, of course he's a legend.
But he flip-flops on the ground and he sweats and he throws his shoes.
And it's just...
I mean, what has he done?
Obviously, not much, because they left him behind, which they wouldn't have done years ago.
It couldn't afford to pay him.
More likely?
Well...
It was probably a justifiable argument.
I'm not saying it wasn't.
Yeah, I'm not saying either way, because it is DNA.
It is DNA.
They could have said this is the money.
He may have already paid himself.
He may have partied himself out of some money and needed more.
Yeah.
Glorified independent.
So.
Poor Rick.
Also, we want to say congratulations to Kurt Angle and his fiance, giving birth to a
very healthy baby girl.
Over the weekend, Kurt had to leave the two or early because there were complications.
Probably owed him money too.
Well, the baby was more prematurely.
There were complications with the labor.
But everybody's fine now.
He put a picture up on his Twitter today of him wearing a t-shirt.
That's the...
Basically, it looks like he's being Zach Galafanakis in the hangover.
Or the babies on the t-shirt on the front.
Baby carrier.
Yeah.
Honey.
Funny.
Carlos.
If you haven't seen the movie, just go see it, because I don't want to explain it on this show.
Do we now believe that the main event of an Mafia is returning?
On impact?
It's so loosely.
Something I noticed, though.
And this isn't my impact note.
There's still one beyond this.
When Crimson, amazing Red's brother, came out.
Did you notice the suit he was wearing?
Red.
Black suit.
Red tie.
I think it's coming, but I just don't know...
Is it the main event of that Mafia?
Or are we going to try to do a wolf pack thing here?
They're not called wolf pack.
This one's it.
But didn't they use the music?
When it was hot on the grill distorted.
I think it was broken.
The line there, Dixie, forget sued.
She's got the Dixie Tron.
Well, I mean, didn't think about real quick.
Stop here in park.
It's an untrustworthy person in this business than Kevin Nash.
You can't believe anything.
Yeah, but you've been...
Kevin Nash is all about the dollar.
But the thing about Kevin Nash to me, you know what you're getting.
Yes.
Money, money, honey.
If you don't know what you're getting by now with Kevin Nash,
then you have no reason being in this business.
Yes.
He's crippled this business since 97?
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money.
Let me go with a chance.
That's six.
Yeah.
Because didn't Bishop give him seven figures?
Yes.
A guy who was high mid card, high mid card.
And no one else was to get paid more than he was.
Yep.
That was true.
I forgot about that.
I think the other two members of that click did pretty good over with
in Stanford Connecticut.
More.
It's true.
Hello.
More of eight general.
Go ahead, I'm sorry.
Who do we think is coming back?
It'll be all of them.
Yeah, it'll be all of them.
It'll be the main event mafia.
I know they haven't got Booker T.
Sealed yet.
That'll be done.
That'll be done.
Booker needs the money.
Spoiler, we're on that path.
Sorry.
Nobody's watching anyone.
Yeah.
I am.
I didn't want the spoiler.
I didn't want the spoiler before you put it on Facebook.
But I think all of them.
They all need money.
A lot of these legend guys outside of Steve Borden.
I don't know what he's thinking.
And then guys like Joe Pope.
Enjoy the you go.
Yeah.
Because these guys are all going to be on the bus.
Yeah.
That's going to be your show.
EV2.0.
This is how this is going to have to go.
Yes.
This is going to be the role that you were supposed to be in.
And they could do the same thing.
The main thing that maybe will happen in something like that is.
Maybe AJ gets pushed down the card and maybe he finally jumps.
I just don't think.
I think they're setting him up for a turn.
My thing with AJ.
I would love to see him jump.
But I think he'd get lost in the shuffle.
I really do.
Yeah.
And this is sad because I think.
Unless they bring his wife in and she knocks out Michelle McCool
for taking all his moves.
Yeah.
And they sign these one-year deals with these guys.
Well, they're not doing it anymore because they just signed Jenme for like three years.
But this deal with Nash and Sting and Steiner and it's one-year deals.
They use them for six months.
Yeah.
The other six months you don't see them again.
And for those guys it's perfect because they get money.
But until Sting does what we all think he's going to do one day.
Hopefully, I'm looking at the plate of Sting right here.
Don't make me sad, sir.
Every time WrestleMania comes around, this is always going to come up.
It's always going to come up.
I'm done bringing it up.
If it doesn't happen this year, I'm done bringing it up because it's never going to happen.
Yeah.
And the problem with this is Sting thinks he's still a world champion.
He will be there.
He's not ever going to hold Vince's belt.
May get close.
And Vince wanted him for and you read this?
Vince wanted him for clearly as an really a money tool.
Let's be honest.
That's what he was going to be.
Vince wanted him to take on the Undertaker WrestleMania.
That was now.
That came out right after Mania last year.
No, that came out two weeks ago.
I know.
I read that right after WrestleMania.
But I read that two weeks ago.
That Vince is still on board with that thing.
And I'm telling you.
I think one reason why that probably didn't happen to is Sting would go.
I'll break the streak or I'm not doing it.
Why else would you have him do it if he's not going to break the streak?
Exactly.
I'm just saying.
We talked about this on the phone last week and I told you.
I guarantee you Mark would be on board with it.
I don't know about all that.
And you think that something like this would be ideal for Sting.
I mean, he's getting up there in years.
He can't wrestle the same.
You would think he would want some big money contract.
There's something.
I mean, his merchandise would go through the roof.
You know they're going to put out a DVD.
There's probably the best DVD set they've ever produced.
If he talks.
Oh, I'm sure he would.
But you're talking about and there's got to be something underneath the surface here that nobody can see us.
Like all of us can't see the forest through the trees of this deal.
Because I try to put the mark side of me aside.
I don't mean Mark Calloway.
I mean, just being a mark when it comes to Sting.
And I've looked at it from every angle.
I can't, unless Sting just has a moral objection to Vince, which is possible.
How can you have a moral objection to Vince?
Have you seen what's going on in TNA?
Have you seen my literature?
Yeah, but I mean, what's going on in TNA right now?
I'm not.
You leap every other word.
They're cutting each other all the time.
Somebody's the anti-Christ of wrestling.
There's somebody in a strip joint.
Okay.
Really?
Oh, it's like I've said, I've tried to look at this from every angle.
And I can't see where it doesn't benefit him.
I just don't.
And until somebody can prove to me what a theory that holds water, because everybody wins.
Oh, I think you turned your mic off, Shant.
Charlotte.
There's a switch on it.
It's just a weird situation with him.
Good luck doing it.
Yeah.
But if he doesn't show up at WrestleMania in two months, I will officially give up on my Sting to the WWE banner.
I will still not give up on my old school Sting.
Do you think Matt Morgan is a part of Made of Met Milwaukee?
Absolutely not.
They're pushing him back down the card again.
They don't want to do it.
If he does the job to Anderson,
but he was, I mean, wasn't he part of it?
No, he tried to get in, and then he got it at the end right when they were breaking up.
Right.
If I remember correctly.
Yeah.
I think you've got to keep it just the core guys in this.
Kimbo Slice, apparently, working in a vent in Japan, where he's going to take on two former Sumo wrestlers.
No way.
I read it two days ago.
Fail.
I honestly, I like Kimbo.
The guy's the heck of a fighter.
He had so much buzz.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
And, I mean, after his three losses with UFC.
That was it.
I don't know.
We're not beating up when you're not beating up homeless guys.
Yeah, it's about a point.
I just, I just hope he doesn't feel, or don't disrespect there, but I just hope he doesn't feel,
I just hope he doesn't feel this is going to parlay him into one of the big one and the little one, one of the two.
He'll be R-O-H if he's elected.
True.
Also, Jeff had his court date as we all knew last Thursday.
Well, this story changes for the second.
They have now given him a continuance until the 19th of February to get more time to negotiate a plea bargain.
Is this why they put the belt on Anderson, do you think?
Yeah.
Also, in a time you don't just rule if I don't want to just ball get all down.
You know what's funny is there's a lot of snickers in the back about his brother.
How they think this was a bad, he doesn't bring anything to the company.
They say he's so out of shape.
It's unreal.
Oh, really?
He's on his Twitter.
He says he's in the best shape of his life.
Watch him pack.
He is so out of shape.
He was horrible.
It's terrible.
Man.
Well, it probably go down one of the, every time I see them, I think it would a great tag team they were.
And I, and I, that's why they brought him back.
I took him back that nostalgia because they knew they were going to take the belt off of them.
But, but they couldn't be the hearty boys.
I'm so sick of hearing the hearty brothers.
It just sounds weird to me.
Weird.
We're just calling the hearties.
The hearty brothers, it's like, where are they?
A trapeze act?
It just, you know, with the grace of family.
Chad says he's in shape if the shape is a circle.
Yes, I mean, he is.
He is.
Bad shape.
Again, you are on the clubhouse with Robin Cody right here on Ustream.
The last Tuesday of every month, we are joined by Charlotte and Missy as it is lady.
Used to be lady's resting round table.
Now it's just lady's round table.
So say hello to the people, ladies.
Hello.
That would be Missy followed by Charlotte.
We appreciate you being here with us each and every Tuesday night, eight on the East Coast, five on the West Coast.
Saw a great quote on Twitter the other day with this whole crimson saying they're coming February 3rd.
Somebody said, do you, anybody else realize we're now going to find out who they are twice before we find out who they are?
Twice before we find out who the raw GM is.
True.
I don't know if that's funny, but it's valid.
Yeah.
And here's my one impact note.
This is how great impact was last Thursday night.
The only note I took during impact.
Why does Tommy Dreamer's entrance videos still have ED 2.0 on it?
In this thing, Deb.
He's the last.
Nobody cares anything about their videos, especially Dreamer.
I just saw that and went.
Although I didn't notice that Tommy Dreamer has new pants.
He doesn't have the big sweatpants anymore.
He has tights.
He has tights on.
Yeah.
But he's still wearing a t-shirt the whole time though, right?
Yeah.
He just has tight pants.
Sorry, just a girl's note.
That's why you guys are here.
You give us the other side.
I do always notice when they change pants.
You have to pay attention to stuff like this.
I always think I don't see any of his new shoes.
New Reebok pumps.
Because the jords don't change.
The jords do not change.
And it is the underarmor.
Panies stick out.
Yeah.
Panies.
Sorry.
Manatees.
The manatees.
It's like a fish.
That's going to do it for TNA Talk.
Let's move into just a very little bit of movie talk this week.
We've got some headlines.
We're going to go ahead and skip because we want to get to the big news of the day.
The Oscars nominations came out this morning.
And we're just going to run down the big categories.
As we start with best actor, your nominees are Javier Barden for a movie called
B-U-T-Full B-I-U-T-I-F-U-L.
Got nothing.
Great.
Jeff Bridges for True Grit.
Jesse Eisenberg for the Social Network.
Colin Firth for the King's Speech in James Franco for 127 hours.
Your best supporting actor.
Christian Bale for the Fighter.
A lot of people said that they were very thankful he finally got nominated.
John Hawks for Winters' Bone.
Jeremy Renner for the Town.
Mark Ruffalo for the Kids Are All Right.
And Jeffrey Rush for the King's Speech.
I think we should watch Winters' Bone.
I think everybody that knows anybody in this circle of friends just did the nod very knowingly
with a Rod Smile look.
The Chandler, if you will.
That means too thin.
Exactly.
Thank you.
We can move on.
Best actress, gosh.
Did somebody bring a lug wrench?
Because get the wheels back on this thing.
We're going to need one.
A net bending for the Kids Are All Right.
Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole.
Which is a movie about a couple who have a child go missing or something.
They lose a child.
They lose a child.
That's right.
Let's see.
Jennifer Lawrence for Winters' Bone.
There it is again.
Natalie Portman for Black Swan.
And Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine.
Very surprising nomination there.
That's a little blues.
What a blue blue is the action.
Yeah, that's all nice thing.
17 had to get it down to it.
Yeah.
Got a whole lot of that going on in that movie, if you know what I'm talking about.
And I think you do.
Best supporting actress, Amy Adams gets another nomination as she's nominated for the fighter.
What?
Helena Bonham Carter for the King's Speech.
Melissa Leo for the fighter.
Now this King's Speech.
That's not about LeBron.
No.
He's deal last year with the Heat.
The decision.
You know what, as bad of a joke as that was, I'm going to give you full credit for that
because you completely caught me off guard.
And he doesn't do that very often.
Hailey Steinfield, a little girl from True Grit, gets nominated for a supporting actress.
And Jackie Weaver for something called Animal Kingdom.
She was nominated for Golden Globe.
I got nothing up, look at that.
Best Director, Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan, David O. Russell for the Fighter,
Tom Hooper for the King's Speech, David Fincher for the Social Network,
and Joe and Ethan Cohen for True Grit.
Best Picture, remember this year kids there are ten nominees for Best Picture.
They've doubled up this category this year.
Black Swan, the Fighter Inception, doesn't get nominated for any acting awards.
Yeah.
Or director, but they get nominated for Best Picture.
The kids are all right, the King's Speech, 127 hours, the Social Network,
True Grit, Wintersbone, and in a very interesting curveball,
Toy Story 3 is nominated for Best Picture this year.
Did you come by because don't they usually have...
No, there's an animation category too.
They kept the animation category intact.
Wow.
That one surprised me.
These awards go down in a little over four weeks.
I think this is going to be a weird year.
The King's Speech has 12 nominations, True Grit, with 10 Inception with 8 total.
Geez.
I'll be watching.
Hopefully we can get some kind of a special edition thrown together for that,
because this is one of the big ones.
Co-hosted this year by James Franco, also a nominee co-hosting with Anne Hathaway.
Hot, don't care what you say, we've had this discussion before.
I won't overwrite her.
No, she's hot.
Don't care.
We will agree to disagree.
New movies and theaters this week, we start with The Right,
which is the latest from Anthony Hopkins.
Very strange looking film.
Very creepy.
I cannot wait to see it.
Is it bad that I think of Cody every time I see the trailer for this?
Was that?
Because for years, one of your most popular quotes was...
The biggest trick the devil ever pulls.
Where did that come from?
Gosh, how many movies?
That was also the very first thing Raven ever said on ECW on TNN.
Like really?
That was their big promo.
Him sitting in the room going the biggest trick the devil put on the world when he didn't exist.
That was ECW movies.
That's the number of movies.
Big trailer for when they moved to TNN.
Did not know that.
Well played, sir.
Also this week from Prada to Nada.
Got nothing.
Moving on.
This next one was for you, sir.
Let me.
This is a...
This is a...
Yep, because Triple H is in this.
This is a documentary about the lead singer of Motorhead.
Is in theaters this week.
Also, and I saved this one for last.
Movie that's the screen tonight.
But we had the show so we couldn't go.
Movie called the mechanic.
Jason Statham is in this thing.
The reason I saved this for last.
For those of you that don't know.
The mechanic is about a guy who's an assassin and this other guy comes to learn from him.
This is a remake of a movie from 1972.
With the great Charles Bronson.
If you have never seen the original mechanic.
As soon as this show is over.
Go to blockbuster and find it.
Or find it on the InstaQ or watch it somewhere.
My favorite Charles Bronson movie ever.
Been on Death Wish?
Yes.
The ending alone.
This is one of those movies where you're just like this.
It's cool.
And then the ending happens and you're like holy crap.
If they change the ending to this movie.
I may take hostages.
Is this something like a girl would like to?
If the girl like stuff getting blown up.
Yes.
Out.
Charles can't sleep if there's explosions.
I can't sleep if there's explosions.
If there's stuff going.
Actually, if things are exploding in the movie.
I will sleep through it.
I have no interest.
The mechanic is one of my favorite movies ever.
It's my favorite Bronson movie.
Oh, I just muted that and watched it.
Yeah, she contends that.
She'll muted John Cena.
I'll say you have a horseman reference on this next one.
You could think that she couldn't.
You don't know how if you know what I mean.
I don't know how.
You have to muted just for that.
DVD and blue ray releases this week.
We start with this movie just because it's the one Cody can't seem to get right.
As Ric Flair once said, he was compared to Secretariat.
And for some reason, Cody seems to think it's Sagittarius.
That's my sign.
I have corrected him for years.
But the movie's Secretariat with the very hot Diana.
Yes.
About, of course, about the last horse to win the Triple Crown.
Disney did it.
It's on DVD today.
This next movie, if you have not seen this next movie, put it on your list.
We may watch it again this weekend.
Awesome.
It's awesome.
And this is coming from a girl who does like explosions.
It does like explosions.
I enjoyed this movie.
John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, the chick from Weeds, Morgan Freeman, Richard
Dreyfus, the movie is called Red.
If you have not seen this, do yourself a favor.
This movie is great.
It's fun.
I'm not going to say a fun for the whole family, but it is fun.
Cody, I think you'll enjoy this film.
That's right.
That's right.
Okay.
So this week, come on, come on.
Completing this trilogy that will be making its American debut later this year.
But girl who kicked the horn, it's nest.
I've got the first two in the instant queue.
I've not watched them yet.
I've heard great things.
Red the books won't watch the movie.
Really?
If I read the book, I will never, ever watch the movie.
How are the books?
I love the books.
By the great Steve Larson.
I love the books.
The Daniel Craig will be in the American version.
Oh.
As well as Rudy Mara.
Rudy Mara is the girl from the beginning and the bar in the social network.
Okay.
She's playing the girl who in these movies.
Okay.
But basically her grandparents both own NFL Franceses.
Mara and Rudy.
Okay.
That's where her name comes from.
Yes.
Very, very wealthy young lady then.
A family.
A lot of money in that blood.
Glee season two volume one, Cody got his from Amazon today.
Sure did.
Very much looking forward to it.
To checking out the director's commentary on the...
I've got a lot of...
I've got a lot of opinions about Glee.
Let's talk about them off air.
Lastly, this week we'll discuss the rest of this week's releases on my blog.
Saw the final chapter.
You can get it standard.
You can get it 3D.
If you're me, you don't get it at all.
Moving on.
As the kids like to say.
Again, we will get the rest of those.
Hopefully this week on my blog, which you can get to from our website.
at www.theclubhousewithrobyncody.com.
If you're not there, then you're square.
Yeah.
God, that was terrible.
We're going to do a little bit of MMA talk.
Not a whole bunch, but just a little bit.
Can I cue a little something up for you?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
I'm all ears.
This he's going to kill me.
What is this?
You need to switch us.
Wait.
Wait me out with MMA's over.
Let's get a pickup here in a second.
Four, three, chat room.
Is there a one?
Prudence.
Prudence.
Prudence.
Just said his afro just grew out.
Everybody was cool for five days.
Little MMA talk this week.
Found out Friday.
UFC and Spike TV agreed to air 12 preliminary.
The undercard basically before the pay-per-view.
They're doing 12 of them this year.
Which probably gets him through about May.
You deny it.
They do pay-per-views like every other week.
It's insane.
That's reasonable.
It's better than Vince.
I don't mind once a month.
But when it gets to be the second half of the year,
and it's like, didn't we just do one of these?
I don't always want to like it when they do pay-per-views
or stuff overseas.
That drives me nuts.
Well, Buffalo Wildlings will show it.
You can go up there and watch it.
Lot, I mean, lot.
That's two o'clock in the afternoon in the Saturday.
So, looks like the other big headline we have this week
from the world of MMA.
And Missy, I'm going to pitch this to you.
Little GSP news.
Yes.
GSP has split from his manager since 2007.
Spencer.
Which is...
Is that Jerry or Sherry?
Sherry.
So is that a he or she?
It's a she.
Okay.
Would you like to see a picture?
Absolutely.
Um, yeah.
This is coming like a big...
He's been going through since right before the cost check
buy.
He's been going through a big change.
He...
Changed out Jonathan Chamber, who's his coach.
I don't know if you guys saw the ultimate fighter.
I did.
He was coaching.
Do you remember the guy who was on there, John Dannaher?
He was the one that kind of had the prior touch.
Like the big bulb spot.
Oh, yeah.
We wore the cap.
It looked like he had a full head of hair.
Whoa, Homer.
Yes.
Yes.
Um, he's his new...
She's very European.
Yeah.
He's his new jujitsu coach.
And word on the street is that he is also a like coach.
And he's been changing a lot of things.
GSP's team.
He'll never win another fight.
Well, he went through another big change right after he lost to Matt Sarah.
That's when he...
He changed everything that was going on.
Well, wasn't that when they said that he couldn't handle the stand-up
so he hired Freddie Roach to teach him how to box?
Yes.
I mean, he's known for bringing in specific, you know, coaches for what he needs to work on.
For our listenership unaware, Missy is our MMA source.
Yes.
She handles a lot of these headlines for us.
And that's why we do pitch a lot of the stories in MMA to her getting ready for my next segment.
All right?
So they're stretching.
You do realize there's no video in here, right?
This is an audio medium.
You have to explain what you're doing.
Just that you're doing something.
So, I mean, is this something do you think is going to affect his career?
Is it going to change what he does?
Or is it just kind of just another fork in the road or a bump in the road?
Well, I mean, they just split.
They said that they...
Their...
Her idea for his future wasn't...
Wasn't what he was looking at.
But she was big and getting him the Gatorade and the Under Armour.
One of his big sponsors.
So she's paid...
Oh, okay.
She's not going to be on the street or anything.
She's been in a couple of options.
Okay.
Real quick.
Yes.
Maybe stepping back on the gridiron wants to play for the Atlanta Falcons next year.
And I'm going to take some.
At 48?
He is in shape.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, because he was fighting.
That came out...
That came out of muscle and fitness or something.
That came out today.
48 years old.
I watched him.
He fights for strike bores.
I watched him.
He pummeled some 23-year-old kid.
Like, hit him so hard as Mama felt.
Yeah.
I don't know if he can play a full 60, but I would mind having him on third and two, third and three, third and four.
That's a big man.
Absolutely.
Always been in great shape.
Always...
I thought maybe a little...
He says he's in better shape.
Now that he was in surgery.
That's what he says.
I think...
I can't debate it.
You know, he's as bipolar as the day is long.
That's another thing.
Well, but they've got medications.
Yeah.
Now that he's having...
He's kind of been a situation that he's kind of had...
I don't know.
He's had a lot of issues.
Remember, he faked a suicide attempt.
Herschel's had some times.
But...
Arthur blanks just crazy enough to do it, sir.
He's...
Herschel, man.
You're...
You're...
Never lifted weight.
Sit-ups, push-ups.
Really?
One meal a day.
One double cheeseburger tip.
Now that's...
Then...
I'm not talking about that.
And he is right.
Ran a 4-3-40 last year.
Okay.
Let me...
Let me break that down for you.
You ready?
And...
Go?
He just ran 40 yards.
Yes.
7,000 push-ups a week.
Has never lifted a weight.
I haven't done 7,000 push-ups in my life.
So...
Throw that out real quick.
Herschel.
I'm on board.
Herschel watch.
I'm on board with it.
Now let's get into one of Cody's favorite parts of the show.
All the emails, all the letters.
I just couldn't...
Both of them?
Yes.
Okay.
You and then...
You and me and your dad.
Yeah.
We're gonna do a little...
College for ball talk?
Prison muscles.
Wasn't that a show on Fox?
Come on.
Let's talk about this...
This thing.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
Just when we thought last year, man, I'm glad we weren't on the air
when the realignment thing and these network things.
Hey, it...
It is back on the front...
On the front burner again.
Friday, we find out that in a press conference with ESPN
and the University of Texas,
they will be unveiling the Longhorn Network this September.
We thought it was another year off.
Yes.
This bad boy is happening in eight months.
Here's the deal.
30...
20 years.
20 years.
300 million dollars is what this thing is worth.
But here's...
Here's where it gets weird.
This is the strange thing that...
You're like, okay, I can watch every longhorn game.
No, my friend, you cannot.
It is one exclusive football game a year,
which I will say now...
The opener is...
Week one.
What it normally would be on pay-per-view.
Well, you get five exclusive men's basketball games,
which will also probably be in November.
And it's a lot of what they call Olympic sports.
Yes.
Swimming.
Diving.
Tracking field.
Now, they'll do well with baseball.
Texas always build a...
This is a...
Hey, Texas swept Florida in the College World Series.
I don't know.
A lot of people are saying this is the first step to Texas
becoming an independent like IE Notre Dame BYU.
You and I have both said this.
I have said this.
The rumor is now that...
With this next thing coming up...
It may not be.
It's a whole lot sooner than later.
Not after the hills of this.
Yes.
No pun intended.
Yes.
Oklahoma announces the next day that they are in negotiations
with a network with Fox Sports.
Which, great logically for them.
Yes.
Great logical move.
I know that Fox Sports is afraid of losing a lot of longhorn viewers
here in this region.
But it will include football.
They are going to give you every out of market...
Yes.
They are going to distribute this thing through the Cox network
and just a bunch of different stuff.
USC is now wanting to kind of get involved.
Really?
I think this is the wave of this deal to me.
I think you are going to start seeing a lot of this.
The SEC started with the ESPN SEC network.
Very hard to find.
I think there are two schools in the SEC who could do this.
Florida, Alabama, could really honestly have standalone networks
and be fine.
You know why that won't happen?
Because the...
Well...
First of all, it's the SEC.
Yes.
Secondly, Florida has a little thing called Sunshine Network.
That's true.
Which now is Fox Sports Florida.
Which they pretty much owe.
They haven't fought a state pretty much of that network in the fall.
That's true.
I'm just...
It concerns me because I think this is what the money hungry
is finally getting to college sports.
I wouldn't say finally.
Well, but I'm talking...
I think this is more comfortable now.
Instead of being in the shadows, it's now...
Yeah.
That's what I was going to say.
Now, it's one of those deals.
Now, I know that Oklahoma and Texas A&M were also saying
that they would not allow licensed Texas to show them on their network.
I think that's a bad idea.
They were really going to be real per-snickety with it and just go...
Well, you can't show any of that work.
You get on me for saying squarely and you use a term like per-snickety?
Yeah.
So, they got real...
wills off on that deal.
Realignment.
Not only this network has it kind of put...
college footballs a hole in it's here,
but now you got to talk that Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri,
talking Big East as soon as...
2012.
Well, they better declare it quickly.
They're saying that could come down over the summer.
The Big East.
Yep.
Basketball.
Basketball.
Basketball.
Basketball.
KU, K State, Missouri.
Very big basketball schools.
This thing could happen...
Along with TCU?
Yes.
This thing could happen over the summer.
At that point, Big 12, you're done.
I had said this from day one.
This is a one-year league in this current setup.
Now, Texas is holding all the chips.
Lemon, Oklahoma have all the money.
And it's...
they're not wanting to share it.
And you're just at that point.
Your smaller schools are getting smaller.
They're not getting a bump.
And Kansas has a strong enough basketball program.
They can roll out of there.
And they've got their little brother, K State.
It's going to go with them.
And then you've got Missouri latched on to it.
So, ought to be interesting.
A couple of things that came down today.
Since we've...
since we've had something run sheet out.
CBS College channel.
If you have that on your...
cable.
On HD.
That's what I hate about that.
Well, they're going to have a special guest for their
National Signing Day coverage.
Rich Rod Regan's will be joining them for their
National Signing Day coverage.
Which happens the day after our next show.
So, I'm sure you're going to be real intensive with that
next week.
So, I'm looking forward to your...
Got some guys floating around.
Also, mark 11-11-11 on your calendar.
That is November the 11th of this year.
It is Veterans Day.
As we will be live in San Diego, California for unit
the University of North Carolina to play Michigan State
on an aircraft carrier in basketball.
Wait.
What?
You guys will be live.
I will be live in San Diego, California.
Yes.
Yes.
Wow.
Thank you, John Crow.
No, not us.
Again, if somebody wants to sponsor us and send us
to San Diego, we will go.
We will do the show.
But they will be...
North Carolina and Michigan State will be playing a
basketball game on an aircraft carrier on
Veterans Day.
Yeah.
That was announced late today, kind of.
Well, it's just kind of promoting Veterans Day.
A little awareness.
It's early enough in the season you can do that for
college basketball.
Because pretty much...
I mean, really, that could be the most watched November
college basketball game they have right now.
Remember the first hot shots when the guy went over the
edge to catch the football?
Is that how this is going to be?
Got diving for a pass?
And it's...
I'm sure this will be very well protected.
Okay.
I wonder...
I just want to know if you're going to come out to
like danger zone and planes are going to be taking
off around it.
Who is it again?
North Carolina and Michigan State.
At least you got two powers out there.
Okay.
Two, two marquee teams.
Huh.
It would be fun.
How great would that be?
We're coming to you live from an aircraft carrier.
Like what?
As Lex Luger comes Slams, Yoke goes into the game.
The Lex Express pulls up.
Good.
Mercy.
Let's do a little random sports thoughts.
Just a couple of them real quick.
January 19th.
1998.
The great chick her in legendary Los Angeles Lakers play by play
broadcasts his 3000th game?
Yes.
Did you know that he was credited with inventing the phrases
slam dunk, charity stripe, triple double and air ball?
Those are all hit.
They have a statue of him outside the staples.
As well they should, sir.
You know, he was also the voice of the Castaways Radio
on Gilligan's Island.
Whenever the professor fired up that coconut radio,
that was chick her.
Chick her chick.
On Friday.
In 1954, you had Bob Coosie being a one-man show
and over time is the Eastwinds, the NBA All-Star Game 98 to 93.
Not really the headline here.
Did you know that back then?
The basketball All-Star Game?
Was the second game of a double header?
It was so unpopular back then.
It was preceded by a game between two military teams
from Fort Belvoir and the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
The NBA All-Star.
What year was this?
1954.
Okay.
Also, not hard to believe back then.
Saturday.
January 22nd in the year of our Lord 2006
was the day that Kobe Bryant scored 81,
hung those on the Toronto Rappers.
Only trails wilt in that category
because wilt had the 100-point game.
Jackie Robinson, we already covered that earlier in the show.
And for you, sir.
Monday.
We already know by the anniversary of the first Can Beer.
But Monday in 1982, January 24th,
led by a rising star quarterback Joe Montana
who goes 14 of 22 for 157 yards in a touchdown,
while also rushing for 18 yards in a touchdown.
The San Francisco 49ers went Super Bowl 16,
26 to 21 over the Cincinnati Bengals at the Silver Dome.
Yes, Silver Dome had just opened.
The only Super Bowl ever played at the Silver Dome.
Yes.
And also, the Niners had a goal line stand in there.
They kept that game from getting a little wacky
when a Ken Anderson's last great years with the Bengals.
Very first Super Bowl I ever watched
and it's entirely the child.
Also, announced by Pat Summerall and John Madden
to this day, highest rated Super Bowl ever.
Wow, that's weird.
So this day?
Maybe it's got to be.
Because if you remember that, of course,
that was off the catch against Dallas.
I hate to bring that up for Cowboy fans about this thing.
But the catch against Dallas,
then you had Cincinnati who had played the coldest game ever
against San Diego over in Ohio.
Who are they?
San Diego Supercharging.
Thank you.
Great Dan Foults and Kellen Winslow.
They were coming off a triple overtime game against Miami.
Kellen was a senior.
So we can talk all night about that.
Dog on right, we kid.
You are on the clubhouse with Robin Cody Live
every Tuesday night right here on Ustream 8
on the East Coast 5 on the West Coast.
If you miss this live, check it out on the archive.
All of our shows except the first three are there.
You can listen to them all if you want to.
Go on a marathon.
We're cool with that.
Also want to thank everybody for being here.
If you're listening live, get in on the chat room.
A lot of activity going on in there tonight.
And we always love that.
Let's move on now.
It sounds like the opening of a movie or something under here.
Move on as we go to Friday night on sci-fi.
A little smack down talk.
Smack down or WWE headlines as we start this thing.
In case you weren't aware,
WWE is a publicly traded company.
You can buy stocks in WWE Co.
You and I have actually talked about doing this.
Because right now you can get it for about nine bucks a share.
They probably hand me the book.
This is the worst.
And you can buy the book in that.
For 900 bucks, you can own 100 shares.
Orton loses the loser leaf town match.
Book in the checkbook.
That's all we want.
Six months.
Worst stock price for WWE stock is a 52 week low.
Over the weekend, it lost 20%.
Now when we talked about this,
you said we got to improve the product.
I just think it's the economic times.
I don't know if it's improved the product.
It needs to be improved.
I don't know if that's a reflection of that.
But I also think if I run a publicly traded company,
I want my product to be good so my stock does.
That's true.
I don't have shareholders that I have to answer to.
I think there's a lot of things that makes that number just a tad bit skewed.
This next story, I'm going to let you run with this next story.
You know that you have a little bit deeper on this.
We talked about this.
You and I talked about this two months ago.
All of a sudden it's a big deal.
Me and Rob talk about stuff that never make the air.
All the time.
Story is a big part.
That was the genesis of this show with how much stuff we talked about.
Rumors, stuff that we hear that we never talk about.
Because I don't like just throwing stuff out here.
It was made a lot of WWE people were made alert.
That Ed's is contemplating retiring in 2012,
which the end of his contract.
Yes, him and his wife have bought a huge home in North Carolina.
Great section of the country got a cousin of Los Angeles.
And he did an interview with Sky Sports,
which is a Canadian ESPN, a tight deal.
They show raw.
Because in Canada they respect W.S. Sports.
So they show it on their sports night wrap recap type things.
He is saying that he wants to retire while he still can.
It's like it's a walk.
He can still walk injuries.
And he'll leave the door open for doing special appearances and stuff.
Saddened me.
It's shocking that Adam's been in the business 17 years.
Yeah, I was going to say you have to understand.
Adam's been in the business a long time.
Ladies, I want your opinions on this.
I think this needs to be a wake up call to Vince that if guys like Edge
are contemplating retirement,
it's time to bring in some new great talent.
And I think that's why you've seen the emphasis on Nexus on the core
on some of these young guys, the Miz,
because some of these old cats are done.
And you and I talked about this on the phone the other day.
When Vince went through this in the early of the late 90s,
he had a lot of guys that were getting old and were getting out of the business.
But at that time, you had Triple H.
You had the Rock.
You had Stone Cold Steve Austin.
You don't have that right now.
You've got to start developing guys better than you did 10 years ago.
Yes.
It makes me sad.
Now, will it happen?
Now, I know a lot of these guys like to say I'm retiring.
Want more money and other contracts.
But I don't know, man.
There's not a whole lot left Edge can do.
He's done it all.
Yeah, what else can he do?
In my opinion.
You've always liked him.
I don't like the face with him right now.
I don't like face Edge.
I hate face Edge.
I hate face Edge.
As long as he's Crazy Lumberjack Edge, I'm good.
He is right now.
I like Crazy Lumberjack Edge.
So, he needs to give him some better hair products.
What do you think about the reforming of Rated RKO?
Next Friday night.
That's right.
I didn't even think about that.
Come on.
Tape.
They even asked me to speak.
Great tag team.
Absolutely.
I love how they're starting to interplay.
Bringing Smackdown to RAW and RAW to Smackdown.
I like the cross promotion.
They need to do more of it.
Keep it fresh.
We find out.
Of course, if you watched RAW last night, you also know this.
That the new group that's founded by Wade Barrett is now called The Core with two R's.
I don't know what that does.
But I think Tarver joins them to make it an even 5 on 5.
Looks good on television.
They look very good on the screen.
They look very good together.
I like that logo too.
Just like the thing that Iron Man has in his chest.
I think to me right now, Minus Barrett, Nexus looks clunky.
They don't look good on television.
Outside of the new guy.
Yeah.
We found out.
We'll get that hit later on.
But we found out he was Welsh.
Yes.
Yes.
I think with him, I think we're going to name him Barista.
Yeah.
But they look very good on television.
Of course, if the main event the other night, that was as good as the main event as you're going to get.
Shockingly, Edge put him over.
That shocked me.
I think Punk is in a sweet spot.
I really like him as this character.
Yes.
Yeah.
My only thing that I worried about going into this, and surely you and I talked about this recently.
I don't want him getting back into the Messiah role.
And he's doing that.
Well.
Not as bad though as it was with the Straitage Society.
Correct.
But I kind of feel like it's a playoff Jeff Hardy's anti-price thing in T&A.
Or is Jeff Hardy playing off his bit before with the Straitage Society?
Little above.
Yeah.
Which is still playing off the Undertaker's bit in the Ministry.
True.
Yeah.
But the whole Messiah thing is very creepy, and I don't understand it with the whole family oriented.
Well, they're trying to put off as well.
We talked about this last week.
I've predicted that by post-Restylmania, PG will be gone.
They need it.
Well, as long as it doesn't get as awful as T&A.
And I'll agree with something Chad just said in the chat room here.
The thing that really makes me uncomfortable about CM Punk is the red dots on his palms.
That is weird.
That's that's that's walking a line to me that you don't need to be walking.
That's true.
What do you got for Cole here?
As you know, I've decided to take Michael Cole in and kind of mentor him.
And from time to time, we'll have the Michael Cole memo to Cole, as I like to call it.
Something I think that, you know, as a fan, as a member of the Double W universe,
I want to give him little tell us to help out make him a better announcer.
And this week's tip is real simple.
Michael Cole.
Just because Matt Striker gave you a dictionary doesn't mean you could just find a lot of really big words and pluck them in.
That's true.
And it makes you sound like a bigger idiot than you already are.
Stick with what you know.
Let Striker outshine you because he's going to do it anyway.
Why is there three of them?
Apparently Vince thinks that Cole needs to help carry Smackdown until it's to a point where you've got a guy behind a table back.
And I think they're fine on their own.
I think Striker does a fine job.
Striker I think is amazing at the table.
I think he's finally found where he fits in.
But Cole's apparently the guy that he'll go wherever Vince wants him to go.
So there's that.
Then later on we have an amateur wrestling contest.
Weird.
Swagger and Kofi.
Oh, yeah.
I thought beer match.
That's fast-ported.
Yeah.
Professional match.
Confession stand match.
Swagger is in a free ball.
Yeah.
Something happened there.
Like he was on top and then he just...
It's like he can't draw heat if you doused him in diesel fuel and gave him a flamethrower.
It's just weird.
Yeah.
What's going on right now with him?
And this last one's me.
This is you.
I didn't seem to have it.
You have a problem with this.
It didn't bother me as much as it apparently bothered you.
I thought...
I thought Dolph Ziggler probably not sounded like he had just learned the English language and how to put us in his together.
We probably did.
Yeah.
We're a rumble.
That's my time to shine.
Are we feeding him?
Are we feeding him?
Oh, of course you know they're feeding him.
Because that sounded like a robot.
Well, maybe he's not good.
And he looked like a lost member of Devo the way he was dressed.
The tight red...
Hey.
Mostly the thin tights.
What is this?
Yeah.
And it was light.
That is little ponytail.
Yeah.
The way his look and him on the mic is terrible.
I mean, uh, the role rumble.
Yeah, man.
I'm ready.
I'm here to watch my opponent.
Hope they leave some for me at Royal Rumble.
Right.
Oh my.
Shut him up.
Vicki, you talk.
You know, I'd rather hear her talk.
Horrible.
I didn't think it was that bad.
To me, it was...
And I think the reason it didn't bother me is because it's pretty much what I expect from him.
I mean, you weren't going to get the rock at a Dolph Ziggler.
That's true.
That's true.
Well, it's just so hard to take him seriously.
Like, I don't believe in in his role where he's at.
I don't think he should be fighting for the championship.
I just don't know.
That's right.
I mean, and he got there by dating Vicki.
So, I don't know.
I just don't give many any credence, really.
It's horrible.
It's pretty bad.
I'm not going to...
I'm not going to deny that.
Alrighty.
That's going to do it for Raw Talk.
Let's get into a little TV talk, shall we?
American Idol had its 10th season debut last week.
If you can believe that, this show, if you follow me on Twitter or on Facebook,
I said it when I fired this thing up last Wednesday night.
This swan song has begun.
Yes.
J-Lo's read J-Lo's ridiculous.
Well, J-Lo first of all, she's way overpaid.
Yes.
$12 million too much money.
Not as a singer or entertainer, I'm just saying in this role.
As a singer, I think she's horrible.
I think I really liked the new chemistry that they have.
I was kind of getting old, I was getting tired of Simon just going in there and I mean it was funny.
But constantly putting people down, it's like that was the main part of the show.
I kind of liked it.
I'll tell you this.
It's down double digits from last year.
Yeah, I mean it's cool.
It's still the number one show on television for some reason, but it's down double digits.
And now a lot of people are putting Steven Tyler under a lot of fire because some of the things he's saying to these younger girls.
Oh yeah, I mean he's real.
That made the soup last Friday night.
Yeah.
Little unstable, but he's 78 years old.
He may not know what he's looking at.
They may have told them it's all girls in their 30s.
I don't know.
I just think that there's no...
This has to be it.
This can't go another year.
Even Seacrest looks bored with it.
And they're just letting anybody go to LA.
Yeah, some of the people they're putting through.
The little spastic girl together.
I haven't watched Thursday night yet, so I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.
But uh...
Yeah, I mean Simon Cowell's wanting to bring you...
That X factor will be on Fox in the fall.
Right now he's in a fight with them over who he wants to be judges.
That part of Aguilera is involved in this thing.
And she's involved them out.
I may not even listen to the last one, but the Super Bowl.
She's got that learned and lifted dance and sing or whatever that is.
Can we see that?
This is what they show on the suit.
I want everybody in this room to know something y'all inspired me.
We do.
Yes.
How's that?
Paula's line is always, if you see the preview for this, I love to dance or I want to dance.
Am I in the studio for the clubhouse in the Robin Cody?
Am I in the right place?
It's always, you inspire me.
That's one thing I didn't miss the other night with that is...
JLo's going to be that person.
Get ready for it.
You inspire me.
Because Randy's going to become Simon.
She's going to become Paula.
And Steven Tyler's just going to get drunk.
And look for Joe Perry, because nobody can seem to find him right now.
What if he showed up in like an audition?
I'm Joe.
Aren't you a little above the age limit?
No, I'm really good though.
Joey Kramer just shows us how it's playing drums.
Nobody knows why.
Tommy Lee's there.
It's a very strange situation.
He's been tweeting a lot lately.
That's a different kind of reality show.
Wonder Woman.
Has a home.
They have brought it back.
It is on the slate.
Being developed by David Eat Kelly.
There's no casting news yet, but let me just run some numbers by who this guy is.
I've got highlights and lowlights.
Created Ali McBeele.
I know a lot.
112 episodes.
He's now got that Harry's law show that comes on after the kid.
Oh, that looks clunky.
That looks ridiculous.
He did Boston Legal.
That 100 miles.
You know what I'm saying?
I remember the old stop of my mom will shoot.
Thloan.
And Estelle Getty.
Yes.
He did Boston Legal 101 episodes.
Boston Public 63 episodes.
The practice 167 episodes.
Chicago Hope 141 episodes.
Doogie Houser 97.
LA Law 68.
Picket Fences 86.
Here's the lowlights.
A show called The Wedding Bells.
Six episodes.
A very short-lived show from two years ago.
Yeah.
The Brotherhood of Poland New Hampshire.
That went six episodes.
That was a show.
Yeah, I remember it was on NBC.
And Girls Club.
That went with a lot of spare girls from 902 and 0.
He brought it back together and they were supposed to do all these things.
I remember seeing that a lot.
Yeah.
I've got every season on DVD.
He's a big 902 and 0.
No, yeah.
Are you a Dylan Tanner?
I was a Kelly.
Oh, okay.
Who was it?
Tiff Amber Theson.
I was.
Who was her name?
She had a birthday the other day.
Valerie Malone.
She's same age as me.
So this guy's got a mixed bag.
The only thing that concerns me right now is NBC and Superhero shows.
Their last attempt,
Bionic Woman, the Cape,
which is down 38% from its premiere.
It's amazing, it's on my DVR.
I haven't watched this week's episode.
I like it.
Is it good?
I haven't watched this week's.
I've watched the first three episodes.
I've liked it,
but it is plummeting in the ratings.
Okay.
But you've got that Monday night 9 o'clock eastern spot,
which is a tough spot to be in.
So,
that's going to do it for that.
Let's get into raw talk, shall we?
Why time that one pretty well this week?
Big headline that you called me with on Sunday,
which absolutely took me off guard.
I'm going to let you take this, sir.
Yeah, there's a rumor of WD creative,
but Tista's contacted them,
wanting back in.
We called this.
Yeah, we did.
So Strike Force didn't work out.
And he is wanting back in.
I wish they would rush this return.
Per Sunday?
I don't want to go that far.
I'd like to see maybe the Monday after the rumble.
I wish they would rush him right on over to TNA.
Um, honestly, I'd better see him on TV in order.
I like Tista.
I've always liked Tista.
My problem with it?
I'm not okay with that one.
My problem with it?
My problem with it?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
He's going to want that belt right away.
Oh, yeah.
I'll smack down, but hey,
smack down needs so much help.
I'd watch an Edge Batista program.
Yeah.
He's got to have an opponent for Mania.
Exactly.
But is he going to come back and have a feud with Sina?
Because Sina was the one that...
Oh, God, I hope not.
Yeah.
And that was the story when he left.
Anybody...
He and Punx all mad about, too.
Right.
Yeah.
Everybody hates John Sina.
That's that Charlotte.
Right.
I just...
My worry is he's going to go back in there and think he's running things.
And what he's going to find out is that he's not...
I think he just got a little too big for him.
He did.
He tried to play chicken with Vince.
Which is exactly why he needs to go to TNA for a little while
and see how a crappy promotion is.
That, or he's going to have to pay his dues like that.
What scares me about him going to TNA is he's got such a following.
He could tip that scale.
But Tista had a...
Hey, hey, we've say, did he get a pop?
Hey, he got a pop.
I can't figure that out.
Can he go into the tough enough house?
Can he work back up?
That way, do that?
He could be like a coach for that.
I think they're stupid for not bringing him back.
If the money's right, and it's...
Done a certain way.
But I always thought it was funny.
Look who's come back being timed perfectly for him to come back with.
Yeah, good point.
Can't debate it.
The new click.
Doesn't make it right.
But it is what it is.
Sheamus, back down the card.
Morrison.
Oh, Morrison.
Morrison's getting buried on site.
Now Randy's getting his run and buddies back.
And you're back down the card.
That's the business.
Also, we go Dateline Memphis, Tennessee, over the weekend.
Tough to him.
As Psycho said, it's busted for Merrill Wanda possession.
But one dude I wouldn't want to be around high.
He stabbed a dude in the neck with a pair of scissors sober.
I wouldn't say he stabbed a dude in the...
He stabbed a dude in the neck with a pair of scissors.
That's not just a dude.
That's the enforcer, sir.
Double A.
Peace up.
A town band.
What's up?
Interesting to see how that works out.
Apparently, he was priming for a comeback.
Yeah.
You see his mug shot?
How's he looking?
Looking pretty accurate.
Okay.
Somebody needs to introduce him to the Gillette family.
That's all I'm saying.
He's got a beer.
He knows.
It's scruffy, though.
Although at this time in his life, his marijuana is the worst thing that he's getting popped for.
That's about it.
Well, the former man in the run Washington didn't do cocaine, even his 50s.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
A little thing.
My new favorite word.
Allegedly.
This next one, I will have to see it to believe it.
But we've talked about it for years, as we all know.
Yeah, Sean's the one that brought this up originally.
Sean Michaels right now is your first announced Hall of Fame inductee.
He has said for years that if he wanted one person to induct him, it was going to be one
Brett Hart.
He goes because if you put anybody else up there, it's going to be the same stories.
Yes.
Nobody has the perspective on my career that Brett does.
Brett announces on Monday that he'll do it if they ask him because he doesn't have plans.
Well, you've run out of guys because all of other than Triple H, all of Sean's other running buddies are out of the company.
I think there's another guy that I think could be really good for him.
And it's a guy that actually refged a dark match on SmackDown last week, getting back to the very J.R.
J.R.
If you didn't know, there was a dark match that he was a referee.
That's how he started the business.
What about Marty Genetti?
That's what I was looking to say.
Can you keep him sober?
And that's not going on.
Marty!
That's all, that's been on the rift for years.
Marty can't seem to keep himself clean long enough.
And Sean brought him down and moved him down to San Antonio, was paying for a home for him.
And Marty just kind of blew it up in his face.
Worst career path, him or the dynamite kid?
Oh, dynamite kid.
Oh, yeah.
Marty Genetti could still walk.
That's good for him.
Oh, he's also still on the planet.
Yes.
So I just think, to me, those guys pair up on each other a lot because they would get the shot and just couldn't hold on to it.
Not another show.
Okay.
Just remember the night that they put the belt on this goof.
On Sid?
Yeah.
Also, the person that suffered the worst live sports injury I've ever seen.
But he was like snapped.
Yes, when he went to WCW, he was kind of running that.
He had the belt, the belt kind of went through him.
Him and Nash had some good hookups, I thought.
So.
Here's a question about as we get into raw talk.
If CM Punk's going to be the leader of Nexus, why can't they just come out to his music?
Because they need to have their own music.
Yeah.
But it's his kind of like Hogan.
Hogan came out to the Hendrix and then NWO came out to his music.
Yeah, but the straight edge society came out to his music.
Yeah, this is it.
This is raw.
This is Smackdown, bro.
It's a big time.
Okay.
Yeah, but straight edge society, those two, they came to Punk went to Nexus.
That's a good point.
I just, I think if we're going to do this, he's our guy.
If they're going to be a strong stable, they're going to need their own identity.
I'm just really looking forward to the possibilities in this thing.
Now that you have the core, it's almost like they're going to have their own brand at some point.
Because they're just going to fight us until you get belt in it.
To me, they haven't.
They don't, it won't matter.
It's a good point.
They need belts.
We already covered the Alberto Del Rio thing.
If you missed it earlier, I have stated that by the end of this year, Alberto Del Rio will carry one of the big.
I don't like when he comes on the screen that smile.
But you already know that.
Yeah, I love him.
I like him.
I like him.
It's awesome.
Have you seen that tag too on the back of his left shoulder?
That's that sticker that, that Ace and Mexico, which made him Mexico.
He has that on his shoulder.
You've seen that on truck and stuff?
Yeah.
He has that.
It's a tag too.
That's awesome.
But the guy's great.
He's well respected in the community and in the business.
I thought, for a minute, he wanted to go tangle with Sean at Mania for a second.
That match would last about as long as it took you to say that sense.
Yeah.
Sean's not getting back in the ring.
Let's not get crazy with it.
Do we have anybody today read an update on Morrison's knee?
I think you just sold it.
That was a heck of a sell.
I think you saw that last night.
I haven't heard anything.
He actually did this.
He came down.
He bended that thing.
Kind of like Natty bent Malena.
Malena gets bent like that a lot.
Different show.
Different show.
Different show.
Different show.
That's the remaining one.
The ending of that match.
Natty tied her in a voice count nod.
Everybody in the room went,
yeah, but they've done that before.
That's insane.
That Phoenix did that, too.
Because Malena does that stuff.
That's right.
I forgot about that.
That's why she's dating from Morrison.
They both do parkour together.
Exactly.
Apparently.
That's going to do it for Roth Talk this week because we wanted to get some time in
because there's one place we haven't talked about that we always start to show with.
As you are here live on you stream with the Clubhouse of the Robin Cody check out our website,
www.
How many W's am I going to do?
I'm just going to WWWW.
The Clubhouse with RobinCody.com is a place you want to go.
Let's do a little NFL talk.
Carson Palmer states,
I want to be traded or I'm going to retire.
Well, he's retiring because the organization comes out late Monday after noon and says,
we're not trading him.
He's central to what we do.
Explain something to you Brown family.
If a guy don't want to be there,
he's not central to what you're trying to do.
That's always been a train wreck organization.
And Chad wants out now.
Ocho is changing his name back to Johnson.
He's changing his name back to Chad Johnson.
He's now he wants out.
That's not good riddance.
Yeah.
Go to Oakland with T.O.
Because you know why?
The auto win is an Oakland radar.
Oakland is one of those destinations for him.
But Carson Palmer works out in a lot of places, Minnesota, Tennessee.
I think he'd look good in their uniforms.
Right or wrong Houston?
Are these any places that you go?
He is the one piece of the puzzle that those teams need.
Really?
Houston.
Houston?
Really?
Houston.
You have got this Houston Texas thing that I don't understand.
Is that going to be your Dark Horse pick next year?
It was this year.
It was.
That was his Dark Horse this year.
I actually, and I've got an announcement to make here in a minute.
What?
What?
What a letdown that was.
Wasn't this saying.
That's how you package something.
Have you cleared this announcement with legal yet?
Yes, yes.
Just making sure.
That's our marketing director saying it.
Yeah, Carl Carson.
I thought he was overrated at USC.
You're the same guy that on this very show.
If you go back about eight episodes.
If he gets into the right system, he can flourish.
It needs to be a right situation.
But what is that right situation for Carson Palmer?
Number one.
Oakland?
You can't have no.
You can't have two or three prima donnas on that team.
You can't have a dude saying, hey, I'm representing AA.
I'm cleaning the next night.
Get busted for DWI.
That'll work.
That only works for if your life seems low-hand.
Yes.
And Chad is probably the most, Chad Johnson is probably the most overrated player that's
come through the doors of that league in a decade.
But he's a genius.
He's a marketing genius.
Absolutely.
Because he's got Ric Flair syndrome.
Yes.
If I tell you how great I am long enough, you're going to start to believe it at some point.
Just like Ric Flair.
That's not a pretty man, but he told you he was so much you believed it.
He did.
Colts.
Colts and Peyton Manning.
What was that offer?
48 million of a guarantee?
Yep.
They're making him the highest paid player in the history of the national football league.
And I'm okay with that.
I don't care if he maybe have some years underneath his belt.
But you know what?
Here's the deal.
I think it's a good idea for the Colts.
I don't know if Manning wins another ring if he goes back there.
I don't know if they can build around him and put a decent product around him to win.
But that also brings back the same question I just asked you about Carson Palmer.
Where can he?
To me, he needs to retire with that horseshoe on his helmet.
I just wish Indy would go out and improve their skill players.
Their little ol' lines got some issues.
I didn't realize how big of a wheel Dallas Clark was to that team when he was gone.
Brother.
Or Son getting banged up.
Colley had a concussion every two weeks.
It was hard to watch them this year.
Be so bad.
And then you have flashes where Manning's having to throw.
Yes, Bob Sanders.
Has he played 16 games since he left the University of Iowa?
I'm not betting on that.
Has he played a 16 game season?
I'll bet against that.
It's always something.
It's always something with these guys.
Frini misses five or six games a year.
Yes sir.
Indy just can't play.
You know what's happening though?
They're taking on the persona of their new head coach.
I think Carl Wells lost this team.
Do you?
I think he's a problem and I think he needs to go.
Wow.
Too much talent on that team for then to be getting.
I think he gets in the playoff.
I think he'll get another year to get the thing on the track.
That's the score.
I'm not at that point where I'm ready to fire him.
I think that they've taken on his...
I would say laid back, but he's not the same type of guy.
We know what we know and I'm sure everybody out there
NFL fans know the head coach of that team is Peyton Manning.
You agree?
Yeah.
He runs practices.
But why wouldn't you let him?
That's true.
But it's just it shocks me that last year they were horrible.
Well it's what I said all season.
The New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts were not the New England citizens Patriots.
They just didn't have...
Yeah.
They're skill players got knocked.
They don't have that mistake around them.
This broke as we went on the air.
I didn't want to announce this as we went on air.
Michael Vick assigned his first endorsement deal.
Really?
This is new information.
Yes, I got to say this broke as we went on the air.
I got the text from ESPN.
It's a company called...
And I looked it up while we were all talking here.
And I can barely...
In global?
In global?
Unequal technologies.
Which makes a lot of protective equipment for players.
It's what he wore under his pads for his rib injury.
But Michael Vick is their new sports person.
Trying to sound like me.
Yeah.
How you feel about that?
Um...
It's not my money.
Yeah, it's supposed to be a sizable contract.
Terms were not disclosed.
But that broke literally as...
Your theme music works cranking up the show.
I mean, it booms.
Right at seven.
Let me answer a question that Brandon's asking me.
If there is a season T-bow will start.
I don't know right now because...
Unless he's going to go start in St. Louis.
Because that's where McDaniel is now.
Yes.
My problem is...
I ain't going to start in St. Louis.
I was waiting for that.
Um...
The problem that T-bow's going to have is that he's coming into an area where...
McDaniel was the president of his fan club.
Absolutely.
Where has John L. Wei, which again, I'm not a fan of former players.
If your name's not Ozzy Newsom, never worked.
I hope that they'll at least give him the chance.
Now the coach is saying that he's going to give everybody the chance to start on this team.
I think he's better than Brady Quinn.
And that's not my blue and orange bias.
It's proven fact.
Yes.
With...
Orton, it depends on the day.
Yeah.
Um...
Not that old.
Now they have turned down every...
Every trade rumor for T-bow.
He is not going to be traded.
That's good because I bought a jersey.
Yes.
He's not going to be traded.
I just think John Foxx, I think there's still a lot of tinkering with Tim T-bow...
With what he's going through.
As far as he can't...
He's not 10 yards and clouded us.
Or he wasn't Oakland that day.
Me and you watched that game.
He can still move.
Yes sir.
But back to Vic.
I really would like to do some research for his unequal technologies.
Short blocking pads.
This sounds like an equipment company.
I'll go there with you.
I just don't know is this a company that needs to be making commercials?
Is there a market for this?
I mean pretty much you know what you're getting.
I agree with someone with a person in the chat room right now.
I think we're going to see a lot from Vic in the offseason to see if he's matured.
Charlotte, what do you think?
Whatever.
Aw, a person.
No, I'm not a big animal person at all.
Okay.
That's a great one, NASCAR, John.
Next endorsement for Alpo.
I was going to say Kimmel's in bits, but I was going to leave it alone.
Misty, do you have any opinions on this?
No.
No.
Really?
Well, if you don't, that's fine, isn't it?
I'm a big dog person.
I love dogs.
I don't like what he did.
It's going to take time to see if.
Yes.
You know, it just is going to take time.
That's it.
I mean, I can't.
When you know better, you do better.
You know, and if he has figured it out and he's really...
I just can't believe that the Philadelphia Eagles has strapped their cart.
It's a Michael Pick.
You know how that town is.
I just...
You know how that town is?
That town is like the one we live in.
You get a guy that's hot, they hitch their wagon to him.
What about the allegation of Ben Ruffles?
Same point.
Same point.
That's correct.
Speaking.
But, can we get on the boat?
We got a boat.
This is it.
Well, I'm very aquatic.
In a falling championship edition.
That's right.
In a fell island.
That's right.
Championship games.
And we've got numbers.
I'm ready to go.
Also, speaking of the Super Bowl, the roof will be closed.
I heard that.
I heard that.
I heard that.
Also, about $1,000 to park a car down there right now.
I got that on me.
Beer went up a dollar.
Pretzels went up two hot dogs.
Up three.
Peanut stayed the same.
So, you know, I want to do some research.
I want to bring numbers.
I want to see if I can get some numbers together for next week's show.
On what it's going to cost you?
Are the freebirds coming to town?
I notice his life.
Hi, kids.
Hi, Jowife.
That's what my crazy stuff is.
PS.
Let's get into championship island.
Shallow air.
Impressed.
We start with bears packers.
Which I want to make.
I want to make an announcement.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
I need some announcement music.
You can just take what you've got, sir.
I have decided.
That you're going to live like a believer.
Turn your back on the deceiver.
I can't give this to wire.
But we didn't have the proviso.
I think Charlotte should have won Dark Horse.
That's because you picked the...
Yeah, that's...
I think Charlotte.
But...
A six time Super Bowl champion.
Not a Dark Horse.
He did at first say you should pick the 49ers.
And I said no.
They suck.
I will not take them.
I mean, she had to choose the team.
She chose the team.
However, the proviso was.
It had to be a team that didn't make the playoffs last year.
See, they're for it.
Qualify.
Okay, let's vote.
I got one in the chat room saying,
I agree.
Charlotte had the best Dark Horse.
She may have had the best Dark Horse,
but she doesn't win.
We can't change the rules on championship week, sir.
I thought that it only applied to four people in this room.
So I'm storming several winners.
Yes.
Yeah?
Charlotte won.
I'll take a silver medal.
That's right.
I'll take a silver medal in this.
So next year can I not take the Chiefs
because they were in the playoffs?
I want to do something different next year.
Yes.
I've got something brewing in the Cabesa for next year.
But do I have to participate
because this was so stressful?
Yes, you do.
It was fun.
If you think...
It was more football this year than I have my whole life.
If you think you're stressed now?
If my...
If we do my idea,
your life's going to get a little more complicated.
We'll talk about it on here.
Speaking of those bears.
But 52 million viewers for Fox?
Uh...
Boy, Cutler just had to take it on the chin.
He has been just lambasted in the media here locally,
and then I think...
As far as...
The...
The nation.
And I don't...
I don't think that's fair.
I agree with you.
And what's...
You know, then everybody finds out that he tore his MCL,
and then it's...
Well, maybe not.
But I think...
The only thing I agree with in the criticisms I've heard for Jay Cutler is...
Once he went out of the game,
he just kind of parked it from what I saw.
And perception is reality.
What I saw.
Did I tell you about that workshop?
Is...
People were saying he should have been out there with his team,
motivating his team.
And then Lovey comes out and says,
Make sure you all understand one thing.
I took him out of the game.
Yes.
He wanted to go back in.
Again, you know, I saw this going this way.
Very...
Very defensive battle.
I thought, you know,
I'm going to go out something.
I...
I dug this guy from week one...
All the way through the season.
Brian Urlacker finally looked like...
Brian Urlacker.
One of the top players he NFL, like he's supposed to look like.
Should've had a pick six.
His side of the ball played well, but Chicago...
No third down conversions in the first half.
Four of them.
One for 13.
But let me tell you something.
Green Bay?
Two of 11 on third down.
Yeah, so...
And it wasn't like they blew them away...
Look at the numbers here.
There were 17 punts in this game.
Yeah.
Hester was a non-factor.
Green Bay only played one more total play in in Chicago did. Green Bay used eight different receivers with no touchdowns
You're looking at Caleb Haney comes in from forney texas
He was on pace to have Rogers's numbers if he played the whole game in a local kid. Yeah, right up there out towards
Where mom and dad live? Yeah, um
And then DJ Rajee some of the yeah, and that was the play and he just flat didn't see the guy
I just thought for a minute that that young kid was fixing to be a story
That he was gonna be this third string guy to come off the bench and put the bears on his back and just do stuff and
Take them to the Super Bowl
I really thought we hit with the NFL loves these stories of these guys that come out of a court Warner
They love these kind of stories and I thought that this kid was gonna come off the bench and
Win it but Caleb Haney don't hang your head. You played an amazing game
Yes, and and Mike thing about both of these games and we you and I talked during the early game
We didn't talk much about any game
Nothing really happened in these games until the 58 minute mark the last two if you watch the last two minutes of both games
You saw what you need to see
very strange
Pittsburgh wins
Head and toward our town. I just don't know highest rated AFC championship game in four years
I just I back to Green Bay for one second. I just don't know if I look at them and go
You're the best team in the national football conference
They are right now
But what did I tell you last week whoever wins the AFC wins the whole thing?
So we go right now green Bay is a two and a half point so we do go to the catch-up bottle Sunday
Five-ish local time the Steelers start the game with a nine minute drive
I thought that was masterful the shard minnhalt the pick after Julius Jones and the pick after
Chris Johnson. Yeah
That dude, you know, you know one thing real quick on him
He took a dancing class in the offseason. Did you see this? I did hear something about it
Yeah, he took a full blown ballroom dancing class and supposedly it has improved his balance
You know that when he came in as a rookie, Tomlin wouldn't play him because he couldn't remember the plays at practice
So he got in Tomlin's doghouse pretty quick when he got there
But he's not there right now. Bart Scott. Could you make a tackle Sunday?
You led the team and missed tackles
In bin 31.2 QB rating. Yeah, the Steelers only had two yards more total off. It wasn't like the the score
The 24 to three half-time. That was very deceiving. Right. I mean you look at the Jets were actually two for three when they went
Fort on fourth down Sanchez 20 for 33 for 233 yards two sacks two picks
Rockless Berker 10 for 19 for 133 yards two sacks and two picks
So the numbers, I mean, there's a hundred yards passing difference but everything else is as you would say very pedestrian
Mended hall 27 rushes for 122 21 yards two catches for another 32
He had more than all the Jets running backs come by real quick got some questions in the chat room
The Cutler a cult McCoy comparison a national championship game against Alabama different. That's that's a whole different ball game
I think we see the things with with Colt McCoy. We knew what happened in that game
Yeah, but there's been theories out there that I don't know how hurt he was I
Think daddy went down there and said this could damage your NFL stop
There's been there that theory that theory is in the realm of but again during that game
We had what we at that time thought was a definitive answer in the in the NFC championship game
We didn't have a definitive reason why Cutler wasn't back in the game
We knew there was they thought it was a sprain, but they didn't know what it was
We didn't hear the letters MCL and so yeah, we're not going to they're not gonna strap a guy out and they're not gonna do that either
Kind of like like Ponzi, but with but with McCoy in the national championship against Alabama
We had at least an inkling of what was going on whether that was the truth or not
It in this in this part to me is irrelevant, but the fact remains we at least had an answer there
We the reason I don't know so much crap because they didn't know I don't think I
Don't think the question was answered till after the game by Colt McCoy. I couldn't feel my arm
Right, but we did not do anything during the game the booth had an answer
He was hurt not coming back in there was your answer. I thought they had talked about shoulder
Dirty same. That's where he's that I've heard that a lot today locally a lot of people are comparing this because we had no
When Colt McCoy went out it was he's heard he's not coming back in there. Yeah, I thought they had actually okay
Then I said correct it. No, he was not diagnosed till after the game
He said I think it's a nerve. I can't feel my arm. Okay. I thought we had a definite answer now
Then then you're right. I apologize. So, but I
Don't know I think going to the draft and going to the Super Bowl. I guess they're the same
In him Colt McCoy might be more likable than then
Color I guess color looks like that smart like Vanderbilt kid his name should be Biff Buffman and he should be
I send you a lumped-on sister Muffy Chris Chris Chris cutler
That's a local joke for those of you that aren't in this market. He looks he looks like some
So there's hey, I'll revile you know. Yeah, like a trust fund kid
That had just at looked the part of in a fell quarterback that got got in he had night in catty show how many ball games he went in college
Color zero probably as many as I did. Yes, exactly. Okay
also
I just kind of want to say something at this point to boomer size it
Suck it boomer size and
There's gonna be 18 punts in this game. You know, many punts are on this game five. I
Just don't like boomer size and I want to say that
I like him and get the highest rate of sports some morning show in the country on WFA in the he's just so CBS
Video me. Um, oh
How many times does the 49ers beat you once? I
just want
I
Pittsburgh to they're beatable
Right now they're an underdog. I think they're beatable. Your guy in Vegas says to have got there's something
There's something about them. There's some vulnerability
there for them for some reason
In that Harrison's a goon
I just I think they're going to I'm not gonna make a pick tonight. I'm not gonna make a pick tonight
We're gonna save that for our special edition. Yeah, I'm not gonna make a pick tonight
But I think I think Pittsburgh's beatable. I just don't know if Aaron Rogers is ready to
win the surf bowl
Ben's going for three
That nuts I've I think I can't I don't want to get my prediction because again. We're gonna wait till next week, but
This is gonna be a real interesting couple of weeks. Uh memo to the NFL. We are still waiting on our press credentials
Yes, that are gonna get us in for media. I don't know about you, but these new conference trophies are hideous
I like them. I my only problem is I wish they weren't exactly the same. They are
Well the other one the only thing they changed was the red background the N and the A
Yeah, I was hoping for something different like we've had two different trophies for the different conferences for
Since I've been on the planet
You know what made it look cheesy
What's that is when Tomlin kind of held up like a participation trophy at field day
Kind of held it up and I was like well. He's used to having that big pumpkin. It just looked
nuts
like
tinker
I was wondering why we saw the house trophy, but we didn't see that one and now I know that they looked exactly a lot
Just real quick Super Bowl web a lot of Super Bowl tidbits because we are in in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex
If you're not with us
We'll get all this stuff that's going around about the Super Bowl your Vince Lombardi trophy presenter has been announced
That was me that's Roger Stalba. Oh, I'm sorry said he'd rather throw it on the ground and give it to the Steelers
I would pay money if he did that so yeah, I would tell us if you don't live in Dallas not a happy city right now with your AFC
Representative yeah, so Jerry may rig the thing so take green Bay in the points
So and if you have any security concerns you can alleviate those now because Chicago is not in it
So the president will not be coming but you can't change things in Chicago
Charlotte's about to throw something in you
but I
I want to make a prediction here. I just want to see I just want to I want to wait and I want to see and I want to
Enjoy the Super Bowl being in my town
Because we never had this before here our town our town. Excuse me. I live here too and it's just
It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun week. We have a lot of stuff chat laughing because you said Jerry rigged
Funny well played sir, but yeah, well it's not in a fill talk coming down next week probably not as
Intensivist tonight, but I'm sure we'll have something come out of media weeks and all that
That mean on our show on February the 8th we have to play the Sarah McLaughlin. I will remember
Yeah, we did for the last big 12 title game. Let me ask you this uh we talked last week and Brandon just brought this up
About the NFL experience
Did I hear correctly today that that's only gonna be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, both weekends. Yes, they're not doing it during the
20s. No, no, no, is it it's not during that is it? I thought it was all day. I thought I heard it was Friday, Saturday, Sunday, both weekends
I could I hope not because you and I were gonna try to go in a slower time if we were gonna go
Yes, and no the ballpark in Arlington is not part just just the parking lot as far as I know
With the ballpark in Arlington the chat room ask a question. Yeah as far as I know
That's kind of weird. Well how crazy would be if if uh if no one in Greenberg went
You know what we're gonna set up some screens at the ballpark and you come pay 20 bucks. You watch the Super Bowl here. Yeah
Jerry's about the head would explode
Jerry's about to the point where he's charging for breathing Super Bowl air right now
If you get within 10 miles of that stadium you're paying something
It's just and if you're gonna pay 200 bucks to stand outside the stadium and stand up and watch the game and attend
I have the following words for you
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Yeah, I'll have better seats at my old living room. No, that's a weird Jerry's just gotten
goofy with it
But no, you know what and that's that surprisingly
I feel that one thing that the NFL is gonna take away from the Super Bowl being in Dallas is
Man, everything was spread out
This was in downtown Dallas. This was in downtown Fort Worth. This was in Arlington
I'll tell you what to be interesting for me to see as a nice finger roll by the way
um
I want to see what happens to this area after
Yes
That's what I want to see. I want to see how
Dallas Fort Worth handles the after-math of the Super Bowl
Because you know that they have Super Bowl most used to play the year
There was talk of that being a national holiday it needs to be shot
I've always thought they should move the game to Saturday. Yeah, I think I'm a little minority in that
But I've always thought I'd like a little bit of a Saturday thing
So
But that's NFL talk. Yes, the media does keep saying Dallas and people in Arlington
We talked about this last week people in Arlington hated. You know what?
It was an Irving and people still said Dallas so deal with it
True if I tell people I live in Mesquite, Texas. They're gonna. Mm-hmm. I live in the Dallas area. Oh, okay. That makes sense
And for those of you that don't live here. No, we don't write horses everywhere Cody does because only he has to
Yeah

Fire up old trigger. Are we ready for one of my favorite point show?

It's suggested to me
The one-timer and hockey
Lot of power in the one-timer shot. Oh, yeah, one guy split a puck in half and yeah
Number nine the goal line leap when you're when you're down there on the half-yard line and that running back takes that jump
As long as you don't read I like the new rule where you can't flip unless it's provoked and needed because some people are making that
Kim's a mess. Go in Atlanta 96
We just got in a studio. We don't tell them it. We just saw that picture of pages story. I convinced you with the maps logo behind him
It's just very surreal to me
Number eight we go to the sweet science of boxing for the uppercut
One of the most brutal punches someone you can if somebody hits you with an uppercut you call it a day
One of my favorite things to look for in the sweet science and MMA is the same way
And you know, I've seen guys get knocked clean out with a decent uppercut
The Superman punch
George same here and your right Brandon Mike Tyson would kill you and one of the best uppercuts in the business
Number seven anytime a goal is scored in lacrosse
I love I you know what say what you want
If if there's a lacrosse game on I will stop down
It's the only sport where it's legal to beat your opponent with a stick
And they and they pretty much after the the shoulder pads no pads
It is pure violence and they have a major league indoor lacrosse league, which is awesome to you
I love anytime a goal is good because it's so fast. It's furious the
The the ball he uses rock solid and just fires it about 90 miles an hour
Awesome, I love lacrosse
Number six in the in the sport we've got on the studio right now basketball the windmill jam
If you're not getting posterized as somebody does one of these on you
Charge that's a let's a rough day for you number five we go to our favorite we go to pro wrestling the shooting star press
That Evan board uses as his finisher. Yes
When you can you can basically basically do a front flip in the air and land on a guy
There's only two people that did it well
One of them is on his way back from an injury being Evan born the other one not in the business being Billy Kidman
The only two guys that could do this thing
number four
The between the legs return because I don't know what the official name of it is
uh
Not in the doll is the federal yeah better is the one that does this the best right now
Just right right right behind him between the legs bang because you can't defend it because you don't know it's come though
number three
The bicycle kick also known as the paylay the paylay one of it just
It's happened so rarely that when it does happen you war
And it's on sports center for like three and a half weeks
Or your AJ styles and you do it in the middle of match
Number two the very rare unassisted triple play and very rare
But it's awesome to see when it happens basically what that means is you get a triple play on your own nobody throws you the ball
The ball is hit to you you catch it and you tag the two guys on either side of you that are trying to run
Happens but they have one what two three years ago. It's been a while. It's been a long time and number one
We talked about it a little bit last week
You we've already saw one tonight
The prettiest play in all of sports
By far
When executed properly the alley you
You don't see a lot of those anymore but Blake Griffin will do one on you
Well, he just threw Jason kid to the ground like a rag doll up there. That kid is just he's just a
He's such a that's a lot of humanity
It is
You know he used to throw some good oops Sean Payton to Sean camp when Seattle was rolling kids between them
Yeah, when when oh Sean camp has like 15 kids by 13 but when when they were throwing out
You see how when they were doing it in Seattle. I mean the glove to the to the rainman
Yes, sir. That was a pretty that was pretty the throwout at home kind of from the chat room. That's a good one as well
To me it's more the collision no to me not really the throwout at home, but when
When a when a catcher can throw a guy out at first. Yeah, that's true that to me
Because that's so rare that it happens aren't we have you low pages to be real good about that in Atlanta
That's the list that is the list and that is gonna do it for this week
