Yes, sir, we promised you a great pleasure. You're the best. I'm a makeup cat.
I'm the best. The chowels are merriots. I'm a ladies and gentlemen.
It is your luck to pursue my own. I'm true. It is true.
It is true. I have voices in my hair. They count for me.
They understand. They count for me. We are having all kinds of technical difficulties.
Because that's not what I wanted to start with. It is seven o'clock on the east coast. It is four o'clock on the west coast.
Did I do the math right on that? It is Sunday, which is not normally what we do this show on. But today is a special day.
So it means it is time for a special edition. This is the clubhouse with Robin Cody live on you stream. Welcome.
We are live in Fox and Hound in Richardson, Texas. I am Rob. Each time you hear me on the air, I am joined by Cody.
Hello. And if you are in the Dallas Fort Worth Metro, please join us here at Fox and the Hound Richardson, Texas at 75. There we go.
All you want to start with there, man. A great drink specials tonight. $4.000 a million of course.
Of course, like big beers. $4.00 or $3.00 you call it. $13.00.
But it is $1.00 a million. You have got that thing on lock, sir. That is a pill tonight.
I guess. But it is time for us to start your free show. Is this the worst possible card?
Let's look like an old smackdown card. We are about to be alive from our nation's capital. For capital punishment, WWE starts at less than an hour.
We got plenty of time to come join us right here at Fox and Hound Richardson, Texas. Just west of Central Expressway on Campbell Road. We will be on the north side of the road right behind the McDonald's.
Got our own private room here. $3 cover but that is still less than 10% that you will pay to watch it at the house. Absolutely.
Let's spend your three bucks here. Let's spend the rest of it on some of the greatest food you will eat in your entire life. Am I over sell man?
I don't think so. I will pay. Pressles, a sampler, pizza.
It is all good I think. In my opinion. My headphones are really wild.
We are going to map out how we are going to do the show since this is the first time WWE has done capital punishment. At least the paper be. I don't know about the concept but we are actually going to run down.
Impact and SmackDown for you. And then we are going to run the car because there is not much we can say about the event itself. Besides it is going to be in Washington DC.
With some of the worst promotional videos of the history of this business. I just got a tweet from the president saying he will be from our president. I don't know about everything of this little president.
I will be tweeting on WWE's capital punishment. All night long be a host. Real or fake.
Let's see. WWE president is the handle. I am going to go fake.
Post. I always have to post a weird name. Can we just call the president?
Yeah. Post is the POT US president. You have to say.
Well. But we are going to talk a lot of different things going in. Keeping you educated.
Our normal show is every Tuesday night. 8 on the East Coast 5 on the West Coast on the U stream. WWE.
WWE.com. The clubhouse with Robin Cody.com. We want to start.
Click on our logo that will take you to the live show page. We also have a great archive of all of our last shows. So if you miss it live, you can still listen in.
See. Really? You want to break that?
I don't have the breaking new sound. But if you want to break that, please do. You have about four minutes left of the song.
Yeah. Friends say former world wrestling entertainment Films president Joel Simon has died at her four year battle with patriotic cancer. And it will fill our listeners out who he is, please.
I mean the vehicles behind such films are the condemned, the marine, and he produced Sino-evil. So he didn't produce. That's who I am.
No. Actually other names take it off that bill. But we're starting to hear that our condolences to his family and all members of the WWE family as well.
We are going to start tonight's pre-show. As we are now officially 54 minutes away. I can do math.
But we're going to talk about what happened Thursday night. And I got what we like to call some hot sports opinion about this show. As we talk about DNA impact, as we do cover it all, we are your one-stop shop for all things sports wrestling and pop culture.
Tonight of course we focus on wrestling because it is a paper unite. We are here in box and how in each and every month for the paper views. I'm going to save our wrestling matters meter for the end of this segment.
Because I did something a little different this week. Your normal meter's hooking was in one segment there were three brothers and no dudes. So we started to maybe lean off that a little bit.
I don't think you'll ever be completely lean off of it. But there's that. So apparently now, we're going to have an angle with the pope and demon.
We're now the pope's kind of wheezing in on his cloak. Family, did you watch the beginning of this? Yeah, I just, here's my thing.
The two kids. I'll go there. Those are his kids.
That lady is not his wife. You know, unless he married her, she was like, nah, that's kind of like Randy Orton. We've never seen his real real wide.
We have seen pictures but not television. There's all these playmates and all these models and all this paired. Weirdness don't hate to play a hockey game.
I mean, you've got one guy in, in, in, in, debond that. He's a tag team wrestler. So this is, so this is called up for brother.
And, um, I don't know if they're ever going to be a way to get the vehicle behind them to make them singles wrestlers. So they're just grassman straws and I just think as Vince has done before with people like the pope. Still not what to do with it.
With fish off the head by the energy package. Yeah, repackaging. Probably letting disappear for about three months.
Like same to Mexico but or something. That's what Jared is though. Yeah.
As a champ. Triple A champion. Oh, is that, is that, is he really, now they put the belts on it?
Wow. Again. Because Jared's equals ratings.
Yeah. Jared is wrong. But that's where we're going with this thing.
Apparently he's going to wizo in on Demon's family. I don't. Why do we have to involve things like that?
They really isn't wizoing in bit was when Mysterio and Guerrero. Over his kid. Yeah.
What was his ominic? Dominic. And he's pushing him in the swing.
Yeah. You know, sir. I'm going to take cool points away from you.
Even referencing that. Actually. My memory.
Dominic. It rules off name anyway. Something I noticed and I guess I really haven't been paying that much attention until now.
But have you noticed that all of, are they even airing the backstage segments on their big screen? I mean, because if you've noticed, whatever we cut to backstage for a segment, there's never any crowd noise. It's all pre-taped, I think.
Well, if you always rotate, but don't even w w w when you cut to a backstage segment. But even when there's magic ears. There's no crowd noise.
Oh, they're all in that make sense. But they have these pump it in so you had something. But it was just like dead, deadpan silence on impact.
And I guess they've been doing it for a while. I guess I've just never noticed it. But.
Did you ever think he would see the day? For Kurt Angle would have worked a cheap pump. Yes.
But we're in that time right now. I never thought I would see that day where Angle would be. You let us say.
You let us say. Please dug in them. Well, because he's doing this whole bit.
Reno, he's trying out for the Olympic wrestling scene for 2012. So he has to announce this on impact since we covered it three weeks ago on the show. And I was just like, Angle, you're kind of above this man.
I thought. But apparently he wants to work the cheap prop now. He is not going to make the the Olympic wrestling in 2000.
There's no way. There is no way. Can I try out then?
No. I'm. I guess I like it.
I put a belly on somebody. London. London is where the Olympics will be.
Yes. With that real wheels off logo. It looks like it was created in 1983.
I'm not one of a very big Olympic. See, I, we talked about this on our show last week. I like the summer Olympics.
I'm a fan of the summer. The mineral Olympics. I watch hockey.
That's really the extent. But the summer Olympics. You've got, you know, you've got the track and field.
You've got the swimming. You've got ping pong. But which apparently is a summer sport until.
But I like the summer Olympics. But then they announced. TNA actually got a little bit creative this week.
As they announced the bound for glory series. Did you watch this part? Yeah.
We're taking 12 guys. A bunch of guys I've seen before though. But see.
What is it a bunch of guys? Is any time you mix in? Was this the one that Jerry Lynn?
No. That was the extra. We'll talk about that a little bit later.
But. I'm not actually skipping ahead here a little bit. Why did that?
What? Although Jerry did use the phrase TNA. Which.
Are we bringing the company? Are we not bringing the company? But the bound for glory series.
The way this is work is we're taking 12 guys. And every time they're in a bound for glory series match. It could be a single snatch.
It could be a tag match. It could be any kind of stipulation. My original understanding that it was every match.
They're going to be in between now and October. It's not. It's only specifically done matches.
RBD. Samoa Joe. Scott Steiner.
Matt Morgan. James Storm. Robert Reed.
AJ Styles. The Pope and Devon. Gunner.
Crimson and Bubba Rice. Are your 12 guys. So Hogan's thing?
No, we're near this thing. This concerns me. But.
If you get a submission winning attempt points. Then fall you get seven points. A countout winning at five points.
A DQ winning at three points. A draw you get two points because TNA is the only organization that does that anymore. But if you lose by DQ you lose 10 points.
And this is basically the four guys with the most points will be at a four man elimination tournament to become the number one contender to wrestle for the title at that point. Okay. You know what?
We talk about creative not being creative. This is something different. And I'm on board with this.
The only there's only one guy with points right now because there was only one match. We'll talk about that here a little bit. You know what?
We always talk about showing me something with a creative direction. It may be a little lame. But it's something.
Yeah. They're trying to compete a little bit. I'll give him that.
I always like the king of the ring style tournament. And I could the point system I think is going to lose some. Yeah, I think it's going to lose some people.
I don't know that it will. I think it will hold up. Then we had the exhibition.
Did their deal. They're actually doing a tournament headed for destination X, which is their paper. Next month.
So is this all going to be tournament? Is that their new bit? You got to show the ratings everything.
Every belt in a tournament. Why not? But you said on this very show that you enjoyed the tournament.
Not these. Okay. So now we have to put from these.
I was just running. I'm talking wrestling. I'm talking.
I'm talking. Now you're your Cody wrestling. A leadist.
That's what we're saying. But you had a three-way dance. Kid cash makes his return to impact.
Looks. Looks a lot like the order of now. I don't know if he knows that.
He's got the sleeve tattoos, but in the face. Kid cash looks like the order of. It was kind of weird for me.
But we also had the return to television of one. A double Austin Aries. Well, when is the match by the way?
A guy who I feel is a top tier heel in this business right now. He knows how to work this stick. He works a great match.
He has no problem putting people over. He formed the all-night express, which is when you're alive. He retags.
I like that. And our weight. I was okay with this.
And apparently we're going to have a lot of a lot more of this as we lead towards destination next which will also feature the one night return to the six-sided ring. Thoughts. To me the six-sided ring was always hokey.
I liked that. You are just Mr. Defeetist today.
I liked the six-sided ring. It was hokey to me. Austin Aries great.
He's going to generate ratings. I don't think there's anything like that. Everybody you got to put on that show has to generate money.
He'll generate ratings in the northeast. He's going to use an ROH guy. But outside of that I can't make it.
Dude, you could put Hogan and Sean and Treb and Orton in their prom on that show and it still fails. Wow. You are you.
Did you knock him down? I've kept you in this morning. You're a little grumpy today.
Am I right? Crowd says yes. The crowd says yes.
Are you Teddy Wong? Is that what's going on? Are we pulling the audience?
Interactive here. I'm going to pull the audience here a minute. Hogan at one point called Jeff the King of Kings.
How do you feel about that? I like that. As you described, sir.
Wow. So you're even. You're even.
Yeah, let's say throw that stuff around a little bit. There's only one guy in this business that you referred to. Yeah.
King of Kings, sir. And that's your leader. But Jared, it's not what that king of the mountain bit for so long.
Because that was a match on it. And that king of the mountain. It's normally a slammer.
And that's what you know. Hogan. And I know this probably on your run sheet.
Please do. Him and Warrior in this Twitter few. Show.
What? Call an ultimate warrior. A male escort.
Here's the thing about this feud. I'm okay with it. Up to the point where Warrior says Hogan was basically pimping out his wife.
And then it gets a little uncomfortable for me. That's what I was saying. And then Hogan talking man is right in the middle of that with his show.
And he's your hashtag. I want wrestling. He's trying to get them on his show.
So Hogan talking in. Hey, token. Exactly.
Whatever. I will tell you something that really isn't really framing on this show. It's crazy.
Staying in general for me doesn't work on that. You know that's my leader. Yeah.
He's crazy. And he wants to paint everybody's faces because they're all wearing a mask. Really?
Steve. Did he paint Hogan the other night? He did.
Yes. I saw that. He's in Hogan's office.
I just. You're killing me. Smalls.
You understand what I'm coming from here? Yeah. Pay me.
Everybody's paying. You could have had wide wrestle mania. And you're paying.
You could have had long Thursday night. And you traded headlining wrestle mania to job the gunner. Who will get to here?
Just a minute as well. Can we just let Steve be sting? Seriously.
Be sting. Yeah. I don't understand why we have to.
He even said that in that video. I'm stink. There's just a lot of people.
And I think some people get a hold of somebody. And let's repackage sting. Let's read these guys don't need to be repackaged.
They're legends. They do what they do. They're good.
They make money. They sell tickets. And this is just this has fish off.
Or maybe it was sting. Want to do something else. Funny sting.
Well, then you had the, you first of the bound for glory series matches. As RVD takes on someone with Joe. Uh-huh.
This was actually a good match. Yes. There were some high spots that impressed me here.
Of course, you know, RVD wins. So he gets 7 points for a penball win in this thing. And the sad part was this was also the longest match at the night.
Which we'll get to here in just a minute. Your main events, I guess you could call it that. As Anderson takes on Gunner.
And there's that gunner. But Anderson does the job too. So two weeks in a row.
Gunner became sting and Anderson. No more contender. No, no, no.
Angles the number one contender. Oh, I'm going to get slamming her. Oh, okay.
So he pins sting and these pins the champ. Yes. He's been the champ two weeks in a row technically.
Wow. Do you see something that I don't because I don't see this guy as a name of better? Or does he have Senator Rainer style pictures of Vichoff or something that I don't know about?
Is that guy, Senator, was a governor? Congressman, Congressman. Congressman, Congressman.
I'll say all saying politics. Another political Cody. Another show.
My song, that's my show on POTUS. And then did you notice what followed impact on Thursday night? I was out.
I taped it. I've devoured it. I didn't watch it on a movie called Damages Starring one stone cold Steve Austin Which was kind of strange for me and apparently Austin tweeted as that thing started You know I've never actually sat down and watched the snowman But I didn't want to say my wrestling matters meter for the end of this segment But we talk about TNA says that wrestling matters.
That's their bit and so what I'm doing as I'm watching the show I sit down and I'm going to count the number of matches and when they happened This week I went one step further. I gave you the duration of each match So you would know match one took place in the 15 minute mark not bad as Debon gets squashed by Hernandez in four minutes Match number two happens at the 48 minute mark in the ex-division three way which lasted five minutes Match three was a knockout tag titles match at 59 minutes which lasted five minutes Match four was RBD Joe at 125 which lasted 10 minutes. That's the longest match a guard 10 minutes Then you had match five which was Anderson Gunner at the 140 match which was nine minutes and then this angle Jared Street fight lasted four minutes in two hours of programming because wrestling matters 37 minutes of wrestling But that's every But I just we talked about this a couple of weeks ago.
Is it because Vince paces his shows better That you don't notice it as much. I've always said if you could give me five or you know and five I diva's half match Okay, so we're back on that so if we can get five I think if you do a two-hour show and you get five matches I think that but it seems like at least with raw and Smackdown You get a match for segment. Yes This isn't even a match for second This is this is one wrestling minute for every four minutes of show If wrestling matters, let's make wrestling matter.
I do it when you're longest matches 10 minutes I'm just saying But that's gonna do it for TNA talk Remember you are listening to the clubhouse with Robin Cody's live WWE capital punishment pre-show We are Full a 39 minutes away From this thing starting free for all will start less than 10 minutes get on down here to Fox and how to Richard's in Texas Right off of 75 in camel We're gonna be here through the entire paper view. We're here for every paper view. Also, we don't we refer to it Happy father's day.
Yeah happy father's day to all the fathers. Make sure you you tell He's talked to your dad today. Oh, how loudly just say him?
Maybe bring him out here with you. Yeah kids bring a not a not a two terribly Rockus crowd you bring a kid out here and there'll be a problem with that. Fine, baby.
There's kids here every back of you. So Let's start getting ready for this thing and talk a little smack now Did we need to start this show with a re-match the six-man tag from Monday night off because that was such a riveting affair a dartboard booking I mean St. Cara Daniel Bryan a Zeekeel Jackson versus Barrett and Priceless Oh wait hold on.
Yeah. How did you call that dartboard booking? You're just not the you you don't spirit you got to get back into this thing and I just I just I saw that we're a Rematchy this and I went this sucked the first time I don't know it just I don't work there's anybody on that roster with The exception of the two guys for the title Tonight that really do anything But I'll tell you what was interesting to me Really watch the end of this match.
I think they botched the end of this match. They did They absolutely did that was a guy who wrote to another a dirt sheet said that They botched in on the match and just grabbed it up the wrap accounts one two his arm gets caught In Daniel Bryan's D and that's accounting to three the bell rings and everybody's going to speak in a wedge But it's free tape. Yeah, didn't fix that.
Yeah, what happened to Daniel Bryan? Again, no charisma he went charisma charisma is such a big part of this business Yeah, he went from doing from going to be the next crisp and why doing all this stuff in the US Tyler where he's got those kind of skills And that's what makes me sad is he even on me we are in a business now when the last time he was on a paper view card Even as one is Wasn't he on the rest of any card No because the US felt was not defended. Yeah, he was not yeah because he was champion When the last time he looked back when the last time was healed on a paper view card Bad show.
That's awesome. It was just definitely happy there. It's But it was definitely a botched ending.
You know what shocked me that's Michael Hayes and stepped in McMahon looking that over there And it's like I remember a time as it's easily as early or this year when that was the better show Well, but you've also got I think some of this sometimes you got depleted roster You've got to try to bend injuries. Rawls always the a show Always gonna have more talent have a sub Rodney's to be treated like the a chef too. Yeah, and I just I just think they're throwing stuff something out there to Try to keep that time slot one thing about Smackdown that kills it.
It's not live Until that show goes live. I think it's dead the wall and that's another thing I don't understand about Smackdown is You're on Friday night. Yeah, you're gonna be doing a Friday night house show Somewhere anyway Why not just do Smackdown in Rodcassins?
Exactly. Does it cost them too much to be alive? Could that be part of I mean, is it is it from a production standpoint?
It just cost too much to have two live shows a week? Yeah, I mean, that's the only I can figure Excuse me apparently my lunch is crack good day. That's the only thing I can figure that would hinder me But even then you're running a multi-billion dollar business.
It can't hurt you that much And we talk every week about TNA now starting to try to clamp down on people that are tweeting and recording live You're recording your show two weeks at a time. You know in pre-show misty said to me I've already got spoilers for next week's impact. I'm like yeah, they recorded it three days ago I don't know who I don't know who told them that was a smart business model Everyone of their talent that doesn't want to work more than once a week or once every two weeks And they don't well and they don't want to leave the state of Florida Yeah, all these old guys who live in the Tampa area.
You don't know anybody wants to travel. Yeah, they've they've done that on the road What once this year and I recorded two shows There a lot of Carolina But again, you look at their schedule the end of the next month Houston Austin, El Paso No Dallas to say in Gender Mahal wrestles again, but this time you wrestles cause love So at least we're trying to balance the scale, but again I've said this two weeks in a row. We're now gonna make a three shows in a row who do you feel this guy with?
The only guy you can feud him with is the guy you've got as his valet Why can't you put him in collie in a tag and just let them terrorize for a little bit? And maybe feud with French and King maybe I'd be okay with that Give us the book Just give us the book in a checkbook for a year Not trying to revolutionize the business up here anything That's the sad part and then of course actually to do the day I guess Vince is open and in the office. He has an office in in the yes, and I guess if you're gonna have a size in India You got to push them, but these guys are clowns in my book I'm gonna see them doing anything with gender on the top.
Mahal I think you guys got a great physique. I'd like to hear him speak in English So I can hear how his mic skills really are But I just I don't know as long as they don't do the weird guy that did the who is the guy that had all a great charisma But they had the mistake he was shooting at the undertaker that did the deal in the ring I'm smack down that night you pee and went nuts when it was back on regular TV You've lost me that had devouring with him. Oh What was that guy saying?
Amod Hassan Mahalman Hassan yeah, was that right? I just think that's why Vince don't put these guys in Well, that guy just got stuck in a bad angle that shouldn't have been done to begin with exactly and we heard rumors of devouring returning So I haven't seen him yet Do you involve him in this guy? You got to you have a place for him Or this is not you were gonna the same bit he worked in the team.
Hey, please. He's not Ray I'm gonna be started. That's during a raw talk and we'll talk about that on Tuesday Then We had French you come out and he says he thinks Alberto Del Rio is in the building But we're on smack down.
Yeah, I Mean are is are we saying that the smack down roster is that Yeah, absolutely it's gonna bring guys To kill the brand separate. I trim it down trim your rosters down to about 30 40 guys max 20 per 20 You know that's it that's your roster 30 guys 40 guys and I still think you're too deep at that point And just release that we got to have people to house shows. Love your main of big guys are not gonna work out shows Yeah, but you've still got to have them on TV or nobody's gonna know who they are and just roll Can I see I've seen I've seen I've seen I've seen I've seen you guys release Tyson kid You are calling for all kinds of release I'm just show last week because I wasn't back I think we get wrapped up with guys that really have no business even with the W even with the the superstars being on the internet on YouTube It just seems like it Dude, would you would you waste time Login on the YouTube to see Tyson kid take on Take a guy who wouldn't vlog on the YouTube to see triple H take on the undertaker in a house show.
Yeah, I just Kill that if you're in what's that it says the show that is on a use to to Like channel, but you're but you're putting money into something like a you stream I'm not not live you stream, but you you're expecting people to come to YouTube weekly to watch something and with the The the thought that it's live wrestling and it's not even good wrestling, but the but you also are talking about a Company that already does that with NXT that must be working on a certain level I still can tell you who this guy is that shows up that one NXT season four and he's crying over spilled milk And then he's got a chip on his shoulder and now he's an ace in the hole Will be character. I really couldn't use anything more Reese's wrapped into his failure That's right, she wasn't that deal. Well, she anything she's in that flu failure I just I this whole French you don't really think back to that is it is it only because we didn't have enough heat on this angle for the paper Because I forgot in the these two it's gonna wrestle tonight until they mentioned it on SmackDown this is one of those deals where For is that just in we can't have a miss out this show to me.
We've already killed most of Del Rio's push in my opinion He's dead He is no heat around here. Well, there's nobody for a man. I'm hoping maybe we how many package from Ricardo Rodriguez because that guy has skills He is a FCW rest and how many time how many title matches are is Del Rio gonna lose Should have put it on a WrestleMania.
I just didn't I like edge. We didn't know that I did say in this very room And this could be edge as last personal man. Yeah, I didn't know it was gonna be edges last SmackDown the Friday night Well, no, yeah, just back down the following we but it's last matches.
I said at you ever. I just it was very strange Del Rio wins. I don't know how maybe Rodriguez comes maybe something I just had a little bit later Let's not let's not put the card before the horses or so talking smack down my last bit on SmackDown Shameless takes the kicked in the head So now is he off TV until summer slam or what are we doing with him?
Are we now gonna turn him into Superman? He shows up at the pay per view and costs are in the title I just don't know if Shameless Orton does anything for anybody We said the same thing about seeing more. That's true.
They did the belt on him. Yeah I think Shameless and bear it both need to that that'd be two guys. I would mind pushing to that That next let's not be a bad You cuz you gotta turn one of them face to work the ain't no, no.
I'm talking about them both going after the belt I think Orton and bear it could be great I think bear it's got jeez enough ring skills. I think you do stuff Mike skills and I think he could get there in the Orton It may be do something. I don't think they put the belt off Randy Orton put it in the way fair And I'm not gonna go that far but I would mind seeing a bear it Programs the question is tonight where does Christian go after tonight?
What do you do with him? He's now lost two straight three straight title matches if he does not win that belt tonight Where do you go? I'm not saying that's not gonna happen But I'm saying you can turn you can probably turn bear it face Put the belt on one of those two.
I think Shameless bear it or even put Shameless bear it for the icy title I think those two could work the decent program Yeah, or bring back the URL belt Your favorite belt. I like that belt prestigious and you have some of your pins in it right now. It'd be perfect timing without you'll deal a deal Brown from Jacksonville, Florida via Paris, France You have a lot Emily.
Yeah, I didn't change to every week But you've got a lot of Europeans right now from guys from from the you got it kingdom from you know Ireland from wherever You've got all these people bring back the European tiling and it's great sense Drew McIntyre, but we've also talked before about that splitting this thing into divisions geographically I don't think it's ever gonna happen. Got a bit you see yourself. He's got an office in India He does, but I just I don't think that's ever gonna happen And that's really unless you got anything else that's all I've got on SmackDown this week got something real quick a little breaking Please do sir.
Roy McIntyre. Roy. We have a winner of the U.S.
Open champion 16 back 16. Yeah, mine 16. I mean 16 when's U.S.
Open with the best score to 111 years of the tournament. Wow I'll tell you I'll watch a little bit of U.S. Open before we came out here Manage by man is by Shane McMahon and the company Roy McIntyre wins the U.S.
Congratulations to Roy McIntyre. A guy that you think is the future Talk about that a little bit on Tuesday Please join us each at every Tuesday night live on you streams In the east coast five on the west coast because we are worldwide See internet we talk wrestling sports MMA everything college football get ready to crank up So we will talk a little free season college football this Tuesday night you mentioned MMA here at Fox and how We also have UFC paper views you can't watch those here You'll probably see Missy and myself at least in the room for those We had a paper view in town last night for strike force. I was in attendance.
We will talk about that on Tuesday night as well Kind of comparing watching MMA on television version versus seeing it live And let me tell you there is a difference We will talk about that Tuesday night make sure you join us go to our website www.theclubhouse with the Robin Cody Don't come Click on the logo to get tomorrow show, but you can also get to our merchandise store Where Cody will be making a purchase very soon. Yeah I don't know if we're going to see Julia Johnson I but he's not even a fan of his word standing It's the George strikes on my screen right now. I'm sorry if I'm a little There he is.
Oh, that's that don't mess with Texas commercial Let us now run the card for you We are now 27 minutes away From the start of capital punishment live. I guess I guess is at the MCI center. Oh, yeah, it's a big one.
Okay These matches are not necessarily in the order that they will be on the card, but in the Starting with what I feel is the least important match in working our way up As we start with Ray Mysterio versus CM Punk. Why because we haven't seen this in a week We please tell me this is the end of this story line. Please.
I beg of me And we'll find out what's going on with punk on a on a contract That's a good point because his contract is up in two months. Yeah, they're saying the after Before summer slam his contract is no end boy CM Punk has not resigned with the world wrestling entertainment Do you then do you let him win? You could give him the win now, but what does it do for him moves him out of the cycle unless we're doing mask versus hair loser leave This is just a generic Raw match.
Are you theorizing that we could co loser least town for now until summer slam And they're yeah Which in one thing that gets me with Ray they were so afraid Ray was gonna run off to triple a in Mexico when there's changed the business The guy is done the day of Ray Mysterio. The day of Ray Mysterio was from 1995 and he peaked at WrestleMania with that 23 yes When he won the triple threat between Orton. Yes, 23 so from 95 And even then that was the to my opinion.
I don't want to fit anybody that was the post death 80 Guerrero push in my opinion. You're got the only one to feel that way and I just Ray Mysterio on any paper view card to me makes me question it Hopefully this will be the first match. Yeah, what is he doing?
Get this thing out of my mind. To me You know what's funny is seeing you know what CM Who he had something that TNA or other federations would have killed for You had CM Punk and Steve Austin in the same arena and you still found a way to screw it up CM Punk to me right now is the top heel in the business in my opinion I think you generate team. I think right on the stick I think it's good to me right now CM Punk to top heel the business And we horribly have been for you because it it's Vince playing ball going hey dude I can drown you in this card and did and has Why not just keep him at the announce table?
I thought he was really good at the announce table. I just hope he's on a Defecure and he he goes over to TNA and he really it really starts making some things happen over there Because I believe he's that good that he could he could sway. I think there's two guys you say John Morrison I think him and Punk both another guy are badly misused I think if he does leave I think if you're ROH I'm not the gun He ran that company for two years.
I mean ran that company for two years Bring out he could be a guy that could put ring up on or back in the hunt Because he's a recognizable guy for a lot of these TV markets Just saying Then we go to Alex Riley versus the Miz as I was re-listening to last week's show chads and something in the chat room About dragon this to the major which would be summer slam. I think you killed this tonight I think Riley wins you killed the angle Riley goes to Smackdown. Maybe gets in that hunt for the for the intercontinental title To me another guy.
I thought Miz another another great heal But without the belt to me. He's nothing Without the title. Yeah, no, we talked about that Tuesday night.
Yeah, so I think the miss should win now really what is this do for it? What is what is a win night? A win tonight does more for the Miz than a loss hurts in my picture But why are we gonna monster push Alex Riley?
Could you gotta have somebody on Smackdown? That's where they're where they're fighting. Why are we monster pushing Alex Riley?
I think the guy has decent ring skills at best decent mic skills But then Monday night that came full circle to me when we're we're We're wrapping the Miz up with rowdy Roddy Piper and I was like really Binging up from a big jump setup under the giant bottom of the well. Who do you say? Just if you think you have the answers I change the questions So stale just a little bit funny.
Don't care funny Then we go to Frenchy the big show versus Alberto Del Rio You know what you want to be is killing this card? Not enough stipulation matches. Yeah, it's these two guys are gonna go out and wrestle and one of them is gonna win and then we'll just move on We have like you said on our way here today This could be a two-hour in your house and it would be hot.
Yeah, that's one thing. This is a card that I don't necessarily think need needs a three-hour paper view in my opinion I just don't I just don't see three hours of entertainment or can we stretch these matches to 20 men? I don't see it now after this point in the card it gets a little interesting.
Yeah. Oh, yeah I think your your title matches are great. You've got more title matches now, but you had a wrestling Your undercard under other than your unless we have a return or run in you never know And now next mile burdo don't really have to win this match.
Let me give me you had the skill to memorize I haven't we're at TLC next month. No next week. There's money in the bank.
TLC is December Excuse me money in the bank. Who's been advertised for money in the bank locally? That would be one John Paul a Vesk Yes, is tonight the night No tomorrow night Three-hour off I'm just kind of seeing because he said he would never wrestle again.
That's the company needs you Hey triple H. Oh, sweet. We need you the company needs him back like we need to come back and we got to get we got to get Mark Hilled up and just have him come back and do something.
Do we take a quick aside here? Yeah, I see a lot of this food coming out Brother, I'm gonna tell you something get to the box and pound in Richard's in Texas. If you are anywhere near It's come out this food that's coming out you can't beat this food.
Not even with a stick Some of the greatest food around and not just because we're here. We love the food We got soft pretzels. We got hamburgers.
You got brick oven pizza a great stuff on the menu Definitely Charlie had the barbecue chicken pizza last time we were here She said it was quite good barb wires back there having something We got some people got some drinks on their tables as well Hey, he be But anyway, it's tonight the night I know how you right now. I mean hopefully nobody's listening As far as marketing creative. I know this my yeah, I think you could work this really cool Who put who supposedly put Jericho out or yep?
Why not? Or not Jericho cost or the bell Jericho can play he'll we know that has to take shame as cost of the I think or he's passed a point of no return He's what we'll talk about he's a tweeter and I just think that's how he is. We'll talk about him here just a moment Now we get into your title matches United States title on the line.
Oh my god I don't want to pay for you Carl as Cody Kingston from Ghana via Boston Yeah, do the big shout what's funny is Twitter or the other night he goes man Congrats to my hometown bro. It's one in the cup. Oh, it's like oh, yeah, you're killing a bit But isn't really a bit anymore when Triple H calls you out the middle of a paper Yeah, you're from Boston ever shots my hometown brew in some like oh now it's officially Oh, I said brew in Bob's late.
He got it. Jamaica Ghana, Ghana him and Freddie a dude the biggest bus in MLS history is there such a thing And if you were gonna give that a word, I think there's somebody in LA that might get that award first Being one David Beckham. Hey, the boy back lord.
Oh, okay But Cody will take on don't see gore boy has this guy just fallen off the map. He wins that He has to almost you've got to keep this guy relevant. Kobe Kobe is the kind of guy that to me doesn't need a belt He gets enough of enough proud support.
He's peaked That's where he is. He's another guy. I think that could do well until you know Yeah, he's a he's a United States.
I say Set him before I say again. Yeah, I just could be a guy that could just he has he's peaked where he's at is where he's going I don't think you could make Kobe into a street preacher Be a Boston buddy. I wasn't Boston guys.
He might be tired with trip. You never know guys Your intercontinental championship also on the line tonight as Wade buried takes on a Zeekeel Jackson moved his belt I beg of you but then what do you do with it? Okay again Why not I just park Henry Although he was hauled off on Friday night after Taking a severe beat down by French He's a slice run with the company.
He has said that and been honest about that. It's time for work to French. He can sell the gift out He is selling crazy French.
He pretty well. I don't like crazy thing. I kind of like crazy French.
I think you could do something with maybe cane with the icy strap, but you've got it Barrett to me which he did prove me wrong because I really thought he was going to do something with the belt take it Places do something We both thought that and he's defended it three times and everyone has been DQ He's yet to pin anybody in a retain what happened just defending the belt against Anybody hey, they're not on SmackDown. Wade buried versus Get off my dart here Tyson kid the intercontinental title dart board bookie You know, I just What happened to that just your random title defense on a show instead of it being a Everybody knows like how do you know tag six man? It's it's it's almost like we feel like we can only do belt Depends is it paper abuse and I think I heard why didn't we just run go okay Sincar Barrett with icy strap tonight No, no, you know and just do it to see the belt being defended I'm still not so dissent car is not evident these belts So You think Scott this thing I think is he human system killed this ankle.
I'm all about killing angles tonight a cap Yeah, I'm just Yeah, because I think Wade buried has to get in that title picture in order to make it relevant Or you're gonna have Ray and Randy and Christian every single month You may have to for a while speaking of which your world heavyweight championship title on that tonight Randy Orton takes on the recently heel turn to Christian I said it on the show Tuesday night. I'm gonna say it again right here and from a god everybody Christian wins this belt tonight because that's why you turned him heel you have to have a heel champion It makes sense but man Orton's just so over But then I have taken the belt off John Cena. He's a mega over You see the difference is I think Cena's got to the point his career that He's okay with not having the belt.
I just wonder first you guys that has the belt just because they wanted to and he doesn't really care Just wonder if Christian wins once again. Where do we go? You could have you could few these two all the way to summer.
Exactly. I guess we do return match next I just I don't know where we do we do the Canadian thing with Jericho Maybe I don't know if Christian wins. I just don't know where we go with the belt same thing with Orton We haven't really positioned a third guy in line with this belt.
Yeah, you've got So you've been saying this job into but it gives the thing if shameless takes the kick to the head Who was taking the kick to the head and not been back on TV? That's for four months I'm so are you gonna turn him into Superman? Yeah, I'm just wondering.
Yeah, exactly. I agree with that But we have the green lantern. We have it positioned a third guy in the title hunt That's what concerns me about this So maybe that's why we write shame us off to bring Jericho back in good.
I'll I'll we had a contract has be signed first He's even signed a deal yet last I knew that contract was 90% done and that was before dancing with the stars And he's another one, you know God loving I think he may be content writing books and doing television I don't he's got another book come on. I know what I just don't know if do we ever see Jericho in the ring again I just don't need to see Fazi on a stage again exactly He's one of those guys that you know there's certain people that sound that's saying exactly guy with a sound where they're talking He's one of those guys It's like Fazi it's just like him talking over music. I a total rock and roll a bit Is that the whole fan is?
Oh yeah Not spelled like by lasting. I are VIP from the New York Rangers and then there's this There's and I hate to say it But because of the first person involved in this match. This is gonna headline this card John Cena for the WWE title taking on wait for it Our treat and you know what put the belt on why not we talked about this week And I agree with you put the belt on tonight.
You drive into Marna three hour off Why not Show us that she will quit light. Yeah, put the belt on our truth and he drops it tomorrow night the main of it on raw Why not kill the angle get rid of it Don Morrison comes back tomorrow and I'm wrong costing the belt there you have it I just that's way I think John more I think John Morrison may cost in the belt tonight But if you don't put it on that's the way off I just thought that I think it'll be really cool. Yeah, the inner the IWC is what the the internet which shut down Let's let's just blow the whole thing up and turn Morris and he'll tonight He'd cost scene of the title and then those two were back together Like right because obviously you're never gonna put the belt on John Morrison if you haven't done it But we have yeah, he needs that this.
He needs the Jeff Hardy turn Was that really a turn to anybody care? But we're gonna make a Marty Grubbel to improve otherwise. I'm saying Sina I'm saying you changed your mind.
I'm saying a wins. I just a more I've looked at it like Sina wins. He's got another movie on the plant is gonna Vince is gonna milk that cow to let run dry That's what he does.
Yep, so do you think do you think see it's just gonna carry this thing to the major I think summer slam in August I think seeing a curious at WrestleMania Oh That's a hogan run. Yeah, I'd say hogan run Russell man. Yeah And we're not gonna have certainly that's been a vanity time soon.
Yeah. I mean that's just my opinion But that is the card you now have 12 minutes and watch this being card of the year because we've we've bashed it for so long This could be card of the year no way Sian Probably go are you living in a parallel universe? I'm not aware of it.
I'll leave goes the opposite. Where's card ever it ends up being one But now what's got let me ask you this now that we've gone over the car. We've got a little extra time We're gonna save our list for Tuesday night What is match of the night tonight?
I Think it's ordent Christian again Do you? I think it's gonna be coat these sickle. You think I think this US match could steal the card My only concern about that match on this card is You barely had Zigler on TV for a month But he he doesn't hurt the belt Stick in the United States on tight on the United States belt on him It might be a slap to him, but right now to me it really doesn't it doesn't do it doesn't like it diminishes anything But I think it steals the card.
I really really do let me ask you this. I had my thought and lost it And I'm dancing. Oh, well, it will come back to me at some point Early grade for this card Can I break it up the two now We'll need the I will say this the title matches are we'll carry it a little bit You've got both major titles Yeah, as of 650 and let's say on time we know this paper you may start and they may fire up a tag title match or divas That's about what they've been doing that like as a 650 central time on Sunday June the 19th no tag match no divas match There's not a divas match anywhere to be found on this card So let's need to believe that baby won't have a divas title.
Yeah, so I mean, let's just let's keep everything You know out and out like it is I am going to go I am gonna go beat C plus I Don't want to bury it. I don't see minus as a preliminary. So just just on paper So you're almost failing.
This is this is below average for me huh, I just Just think one of some of these title matches could be decent. It's not like you have guys What's the biggest knock on our truth? He can work but he can't work stick.
Yes, it's not right. This is the guy That's gonna run out there and be stiff. He can't control.
He's ever been able to cut a promo He'll never be able to do cut a promo He cannot carry this company, but you know what I'm like I said put the belt on it They uh, worst things have happened. They put the belt on him Now you're saying they put the belt on flip-flop Cody has arrived just in time for the paper view You are the jberry idea of this show I just you know without the circle. I could see it But then I thought this was strange here Another thing that I thought if if we real quick you said the core is dead as we as you said they announced the other night last week How what's the nexus involvement in this paper view if if seeing plugs not gonna be signed We know where that's at do we even but having the nexus involved in a scene punk rain the cereal match What does that do for it?
It doesn't make it a better match no Because all they've been doing lately is getting banned from rings. I Mean that's been their whole bit get banned from ringside and those are your tag champs the last time I checked It was so bad that I had to ask you on the way here who has the deepest belt because I didn't I could remember I don't know if that's old age that man But those that that belt hasn't been defended three weeks I've got to think at least one of those titles has to come into play tonight. It almost has to What's bad if you do a tag match tonight?
One of your nearly chemistry you have one of the guys is wrestling Del Rio already so you just gonna throw cane with some random guy Are you gonna put a tag team match out there with no chemistry? Who sells one on SmackDown Friday night and there was talk at the table of them Getting a tag title share terrible They're tag team they're terrible But then again you also look they're the wild matches on this card. We've seen the wild Simone I'm just saying we are they're our tag team.
They're we've we've seen that writer Hit him in somebody oh That was what's gonna ask you overrun their on Zach Ryder sides tonight Quite a bit over under next time you see Zach Ryder on a paper view card Russell many a 43 yes Good happen. I just it's funny people. I mean as he goes to the hall of fame for never having to Anything else as we wrap this thing up?
I just think something happens tonight. I don't know why I just say everybody's always doing something Backstage in that booking department, but I just I feel like this thing you could see The card so bad. I think you have to put somebody on there.
You haven't seen a lot Oh my I will say this If something surprises me tonight, you'll let me know But I just Triple H being advertised for money the bank tomorrow night raw Countries me tell me tomorrow night raw. I got what capacity We don't need he's a new gym. We don't need him in scene.
I know He's not gonna feud with archery I mean what do we do we Was he giraffe? I mean is he maybe he's just a guy He's just he's a guy. I mean like Jizzie on the roster Cody.
No, is he a guy but is he a sign to a roster? Archery oh I would mine seen an updated or do you really do you think age is really I mean how long did it take him to go to SmackDown the last time? Oh And then he goes back on raw with the belt I don't know.
I just Tim being advertised probably just really get him the super stars Let him be on YouTube for a while while you're at it You got to do something with him if he's under contract You've got to do something with him because it needs him that I think he can pressure to me He can pressure up any storyline just because of him You have five minutes If you are listening to us on the internet order this paper view with the house if you are in the downward Smartwards match yourplex get in the car Get your get your transporter machine get on the dart rail whatever you have to do come see us at Fox and Hound Richardson Texas Just west of Central Expressway on Campbell Road We are on the north side of the road right behind the McDonald's plenty of room for you to come in It's a three-dollar cover.
