Data here we Are THE Rcwr show With. Leasonders hey,
guys what's going? On Lee sanders with you all for
This monday night edition of THE Rcwr show This december twenty,
second twenty twenty. Five how the hell y'all? Been? Man,

(02:16):
hey we are just a couple of days away From.
Christmas how is that holiday shop and doing for? You? Guys? Seriously,
SO i did most of my shopping last WEEK i
would say early to mid last, week and THEN i

(02:36):
had decided going into this, weekend this past, weekend THAT
i was gonna do a couple of more, things And
i'm actually waiting For amazon to hook me. Up there
was something THAT i ordered for a lot of members
of the, family including my furry little, daughters my three yor,

(02:57):
keys and everything got stuck in. Transit SO i don't
know for those of you that like shopping On amazon as,
well if you're having the same problem as. Me but
WHAT i was EXPECTING i should have gotten two days,
ago and NOW i definitely should have gotten it today
because it said that it should be here. Today and

(03:21):
Now amazon has given me the option of circling back
and asking for a. Refund SO i don't know If
i'm gonna do that refund because that would MEAN i
would be one gift short for one of my family,
members AND i don't really want to be one gift.
SHORT i, mean they're already getting multiple gifts from, me
BUT i really really want them to have this one

(03:44):
gift That i'm trying to get for. Them so kind
of weird what's going. On BUT i actually went out
earlier today AND i physically went to some of the
stores trying to see if MAYBE i could find some
last minute good, deals try to see IF i could

(04:04):
find something, that, oh, well you, know. What it's good
THAT i actually went to this place, physically because, HEY
i definitely Want i've been able to find this. ONLINE
i did come across a couple of really cool things
WHEN i was out and about. Today also had picked
up some holiday cards WHILE i was thinking about, It

(04:25):
So i'm pretty much squared away at this. POINT i
hope you guys are squared away as. Well we're gonna
have a, nice big holiday dinner this. YEAR a lot
of friends are gonna be stopping by as, well, apparently
So i'm looking forward to. IT i already know what

(04:46):
we're gonna be hooking. Up. Wife you had ran it
past me the other. Day she, Said, HEY i was
thinking about making some homemade sweet. Potatoes i'm going, okay,
okay and then ONCE i hook it all, Up i'm
gonna add some. Marshmallows AND i, said, ooh like, Okay i'm, Sold, like,
yes that's what's. Up we're gonna have honeyglazed. HAM i believe,

(05:09):
yes she's going to also do homemade mashed, potatoes not
that instant. Crap she's gonna do homemade mash. POTATOES i
asked her straight. UP i, said, well is there ANYTHING
i can. Do is there anything that maybe you want
me to make? Anything she's, like if you want to
maybe hook up The grand's, biscuits you could do. That she's, like,

(05:29):
OTHERWISE i really don't need. You just keep the keep
the friends and family. Company While i'm. Cooking i'm, like,
okay all, right, Cool so, hey don't worry. Y'all my
real job will kick, in kicks in after everybody's. GONE
i got dishes. Duty that's how that's gonna. Go, hey
BEFORE i dive into the night, show we're definitely gonna

(05:52):
be talking about fallout FROM Wwe. Raw it was a
taped episode that came to us From Grand Rapids. Mission
again a taped. Episode this episode was taped in If
i'm not, mistaken Next monday show will be taped as.
WELL i gotta tell you going Into TONIGHT'S, RAW i

(06:13):
love the fact THAT i actually hopped On netflix ten minutes,
early and, normally if you hop on about ten minutes or,
less you get to see THIS WWE raw graphic countdown
and it's really. Cool but this go, round we didn't get,
that and So i'm going, on wonder what's going on?

(06:33):
Here and THEN i see UNDER Wwe rawl the tab
and everything it says Event december twenty. Second i'm, going,
huh first Time i'm seeing. That but Then i'm also, thinking,
well it is a taped, episode so, okay you, know cool.
Whatever BUT i actually manually had to go out of
my way to find The december twenty second. Episode and

(06:56):
then WHEN apm, HIT i tried back in now going back,
in hoping that would make the episode open. Up it,
didn't and so ULTIMATELY i backed all the way out
to the main menu On, netflix and then it gave
me the option to automatically play the newest episode For

(07:18):
december twenty, second AND i got to tell, you we
went through an hour and thirty four. MINUTES i loved.
It i'm not talking about the. SHOW i love the
fact THAT i was able to power through an hour
and thirty four minutes without ANY ad. Breaks you heard

(07:38):
me right here in The United, states if you had
hopped On netflix to watch ww raw, tonight and maybe
you're on the lowest tier that includes ad, breaks you
did not experience any ads. Whatsoever, now, normally, normally if
you're fortunate enough as you're watching raw, live sometimes there

(08:01):
used to be a little loophole where if you were
maybe five minutes, behind no more than, that because if
you're talking ten minutes or, more the ads are already
baked in to That raw live. Stream but if you're
five minutes, behind you could normally fast forward a little

(08:22):
bit and then you don't have to worry about seeing
ad breaks and. Everything but, tonight you, know if you
were watching the episode Of raw as soon as it
was unleashed By, netflix you didn't experience any ad breaks,
whatsoever and it made the programming more, enjoyable definitely made

(08:43):
the time fly by much, quicker and it really makes
you take a step back and, go, Wow so let
me see IF i got this. Straight, essentially you know
we're being saved of like a gazillion minutes worth of
ad breaks because because, normally you, know, hatch you and

(09:03):
you get an ad, break, RIGHT i mean, seriously it's
like you get ad breaks at like the, worst weirdest
times or, whatever and you, know it's pretty much a case,
where if you're, lucky you're getting a match that's maybe
about seven eight, minutes but there is going to be
a commercial break somewhere baked in. There if you get

(09:24):
a match that's maybe pushing ten. Minutes you, know you're
probably gonna be in store for about three ad. Breaks,
right we would kind of see the pattern that's going,
on but, no tonight was, very very. Refreshing we'll talk
about that in just a hot little. Bit, Hey BEFORE
i go any, FURTHER i definitely want to take this
time out to thank all of you that reached out

(09:46):
to me all throughout social. Media EVEN i got a
couple of dms and some, emails a lot of you
guys had wished me a happy. BIRTHDAY i did quietly
celebrate turning forty, five and As Danny glover From Lethal
weapon would, Say i'm getting too old for this. Shit but, no,
NO i had a fantastic forty. FIVE i don't feel forty,

(10:10):
five believe it or. NOT i. DON'T i still feel
as THOUGH i am in my. Twenties SO i guess
that's a good, thing. Right i'm always having a hearty
laugh at something, daily and you, know laughter is really
good for the. Soul it's definitely good for longevity and.
Everything but, YEAH i quietly kicked. BACK i, HONESTLY i

(10:34):
was still dealing with a lot of homework, assignments SO
i just wanted to quietly just try to enjoy my
birthday for what it was worth while also at the
same time putting in some final touches for a few
final exam papers THAT i had to turn. In and

(10:56):
now ever since, then it's been a waiting game and
seeing how the final grades are doing for this. Semester
And i'm happy to Say i'm waiting now on just
one last class to kick. In but the way it's
looking right, now MY gpa overall is going to be
at a three point twenty, three a three point twenty.

(11:20):
Four so that's pretty damn. Good that's pretty damn good
all things. Considered SO i get to continue to keep
my scholarship assistance and all these other little perks SINCE
i had transferred over to these. Guys so it's. Good it's.
Good i'll tell you what was the most surprising as

(11:40):
we segue to talking ABOUT, row BECAUSE i want to
talk more about WHAT i saw and what impressed me
tonight Of austin. Theory if you REMEMBER i was telling
YOU i was concerned about my government class and How
i'm just not really a fan of, government. Right it'd
be one thing if it's very very, specific like let's
TALK dc, government, right but WHAT i went through the,

(12:04):
SEMESTER i mean it was just very multi layered what
was going on with, government and pretty much in between our,
exams we had a case where we had to read
like about almost three hundred to four hundred pages of
textbook material on top of the lectures in order to

(12:26):
get ready for these. Exams AND i didn't do too
good on the first two, exams and SO i was
shocked WHEN i saw that not only DID i do
good on my final, exam but LIKE i did really,
Good like it boosts MY gpa. Overall this final, exam

(12:49):
it started off looking LIKE i was maybe going to
be Finishing government with A c, minus possibly flirting with
a deep. Plug. Yes but my academic, advisor she was, like,
look your major is. Journalism we know you're doing these
gen ed. Classes all we care about when it comes

(13:11):
to those gen ed, classes like Your, government you can
get at least A d. Minus you pass now unless
you want to do that class over knock yourself. Out
but as far as satisfying the requirements for Your, bachelor's,
like you just got to get A d. Minus i'm, like,
wow that's that's pretty low. Expectation she's like, yeah you,

(13:33):
know we're pretty. Flexible i'm, like, well that's, cool and
she was, like, uh don't try to go for A d.
MINUS i said, no, no, no obviously. No she's, like, no, no,
no you, know try to you, know step up your
game with your study and all that and you, know but,
YEAH d, Minus like you're. Good SO i THOUGHT i
was gonna maybe be getting like A d, plus maybe
A c minus when this all was going to finish.

(13:55):
Out AND i didn't even factor in like class discussions
with MY ta and some other assignments that tied INTO
i like missed out on a whole bunch of. Stuff
so when it's all said and, Done i'm finishing government
with A b minus AS b as in, Boy i'm

(14:15):
finishing with A b. Miny So i'm, like yay fucking cloud, nine, Man,
Seriously i'll tell you what else had me On cloud
nine thinking about TONIGHT'S wwe Raw austin. Theory just the.
Good there's no bad right now when it comes To austin,
theory but there is a big, well let's wait and

(14:38):
see what. Happens remember when we were last here on this.
SHOW i gotta SAY i was probably one of the,
few the few podcasters out there that, said, look this
is a honeymoon period right now With austin. Theory let's
just wake this. Out let's see what. Happens you, know

(14:59):
a lot of people were greatly. DISAPPOINTED i know a
lot of people were, going, oh you, know it's got
to Be. Jericho and you, know, look we know the
pathern WITH, wwe those of us that's been WATCHING wwe
programming for at least the past five. Years, NOW wwe
they phone it in the final two weeks For. Raw you,

(15:19):
know they don't really want to get things popping on all,
cylinders not until that First raw of the new year kicks.
Off then it's, like, okay not only are we back
and we're firing on all, cylinders but we got The
raw rumble right around the. Corner let's. Go and so
the notion of trust ME i entertained the idea Of

(15:42):
jericho popping up IN wwe before the end Of, December
but the more and MORE i thought about, it, realistically for,
me it's a case where, well If jericho is hypothetically
speaking Of jericho is going to be returning to the,
company why not do it at The Royal, rumble why

(16:06):
not do it at The Royal? Rumble, like convince me,
otherwise why not do it at The Royal. Rumble the
past couple of years people have been complaining about, how,
hey there's been no, pop there's been no sizzle for
The Royal, rumbles there's been no surprise. Entrance it's pretty
much just been a you know here it, is you,

(16:27):
know it's just the main roster, Basically so why not
add in a couple of surprises and all. That so
the fact that it Is Austin theory that was revealed
to be the mystery, Man i'll be, honest that had
me go from last week, huh, okay you've piqued my.

(16:48):
Interest now tell me a little bit, more you, know
help me understand in Character Austin theory's thought process, Here
like how did we get to this? Point? Right is
just something that we missed along the way in the
form of breadcrumbs that we fans are not quite connecting,

(17:08):
here that we miss. Somehow AND i loved how they
pretty much addressed this off the. Break remember raw last
weekended with a serious, cliffhanger and we immediately follow it
up pretty much With Paul hayman running Into Austin theory

(17:28):
and wanting to, Know, yo how do you explain what
you had did last? Week And Austin theory kept it,
short sweet and simple for, him jotted down some. Notes
he says To, HAYMAN i wanted everybody to feel by
actions before they saw my. Face i've made some bad.

(17:50):
DECISIONS i got, COMFORTABLE i got, injured and THEN i
saw the. Vision you didn't wait for, anything you took
and that's me NOW i take to Which Paul hammon,

(18:11):
goes you take, huh all, right, okay and Then theory,
goes yeah to the point this tag match that involves
Cum punk And Ray mysterio in the main, EVENT i
want to take an opportunity to join forces with either
Bron breaker Or Bronson, reid AND i want you to

(18:38):
see WHAT i can. Do i'm looking at. This i'm just, going,
YO i like this new demeanor that we got From Austin.
Theory oh. Okay so there was a part of him
while he was kicking, back injured and, everything there was
a part of him that actually was a little bit
inspired by what he was seeing going on there with the.

(18:58):
Vision now that we've gotten a better view of his
new ring. Attire by the, way doesn't it Scream Seth?
Rollins you, KNOW i see so many people they're, going,
oh it kind of looks a little LIKE i think
some people said it looks a little like. Mellow i'm

(19:18):
going Mellow Carmelo. Hayes, like what are y'all looking? At?
LIKE i don't See Carmelo hayes WHEN i look at
his new ring. ATTIRE i See Seth rollins WHEN i
look at that ring. Attire. Right, SO i actually had
saw a really cool collage online of all the different
attires That Austin theory wore through the, years AND i

(19:41):
just want to switch to. That here we, GO i
just want to switch to. THAT i, mean look at.
This look at, This AND i apologize to our audio only.
Listeners that's not able to, see but if you're fortunate,
enough you could definitely see it at the nineteen minute
mark of the. Stream but just look at all of

(20:02):
these incarnations Of Austin theory that we've had over the.
YEARS i, MEAN i gotta tell, you with this current
version Of Austin, THEORY i actually have faith That TRIPLE
h paulovecan. CREW i honestly feel my it's very Seldom

(20:25):
i'm wrong with my gut, instincts but my gut instincts
just What i've been seeing the past two weeks now with,
theory it just, says you know, what he's in a
much better, place CAUSE i actually went down memory lane
WHEN i was thinking about. This let's not forget that
it was about twenty nineteen to twenty twenty. One we

(20:46):
were dealing with the first version Of austin theory IN,
wwe which was The vanity. Theory remembered that, version the
guy that was just so. Obsessed he was phone obsessed
with his pretty boy, looks and he mainly was used

(21:08):
for comic. Relief you. KNOW i, know as a, FAN
i looked at him more despite the great look that he.
HAD i remember one of the first TIMES i saw
him way back, THEN i, said my, god this guy
has a phenomenal frickin, Look, like look at this, dude you,
know but just out the, gate he was more about comedic.
RELIEF i never really looked at him as a. Threat

(21:31):
i'm sure if we were to pull you, guys you,
know you'd be, like, yeah, definitely don't look at this
guy as a. Threat and so when you don't look
at this guy early on back then as a, threat
which the majority of the crowd did to try to
even paint the picture that this guy is going to

(21:52):
be a future, star you're going according to who like we're,
not and he widely got phased out As vince McMahon tried,
to you, know really make this be a pet. Project
remember that that led us to the second incarnation Of austin,

(22:15):
theory where you, know it really came off more like
he was an on screen, favorite seemed like an on
screen favoritism. Angle it felt very, forced did it? Not
almost very similar to what we experienced With roman rains

(22:36):
back in the. Day it did not feel organic. Whatsoever
remember When vince, McMahon you, know The Golden, Egg austin
theory and The Golden, EGG i, MEAN i try to
block that, out but it was just so cringe on
so many. Levels and of course that all completely collapsed

(22:59):
After vince McMahon exited THE. Wwe and then you think
About austin theory and the failed cash in from what
was that twenty twenty. TWO i mean that cash in
attempt AMONGST wwe fans is looked upon as one of
the worst cash ins of all. TIME a lot of

(23:23):
FANS i thought that was a botch decision made by.
Creative you killed whatever you called yourself building up with, theory,
momentum whatever you want to call, it you killed it
off overnight in just that one that one, night that one,

(23:44):
event but definitely looked at as one of the weakest
money in the bank cash ins. Ever and then we
had the Serious austin theory the rebrand that happened in
twenty twenty. Three remember that. One there was A us

(24:07):
title run that was you, know pretty. Flat he'd say,
that but you, know sad but. TRUE i, mean at
this point he dropped the. Phone you, know he tried
to increase the intensity, level but that, stank that stank
was still on, him, MAN i mean really, weird really.

(24:31):
Weird so he still had stank on him and whatever heat.
Disappeared you, know it's kind of it's weird because whatever
heat he, garnered like it just disappeared instead of. Growing

(24:54):
and then what really put the kebash On austin theory
is when they paired him up With Grayson. Waller you
know that all was last, year as you all, recall
that was in just way that was thrown, together and
it really came off like there was no long term

(25:17):
planning for both. Men and it also came off as
IF wwe was trying to do their best to try
and hide whatever weaknesses they were noticing With austin. THEORY
i don't even want to say while trying to Maybe
i'm no whatever weaknesses they just they just buried it

(25:41):
by having him paired up With Grayson. Waller so when
it's all said and, done you, KNOW i just gave you,
guys like five incarnations Of Austin theory IN. Wwe this
is now incarnation number. Six so if you're keeping, track
like the main problem that has been a recurring theme

(26:02):
with the five, gimmicks none of these things were Fixing
austin theory's identity. Problem, Okay and when you look at
HOW Wwe creative had essentially Did austin, theory every version
that we just went, over it was. Assigned it wasn't anything,

(26:28):
organic you. Know AND i, mean for lack of better,
terms LIKE wwe basically kept trying to tell the audience
who theory was instead of letting him go out there
and show. It SO i need for people to understand
something when we have this discussion About austin, theory and

(26:49):
this is very very. Important we need to make sure
that as far as talent Goes, austin he's not talent
poor by any. Stretch what's been his biggest issue up
to this point is that he's been character. Poor, YES

(27:14):
ww has rebooted him multiple times and none of the
gimmicks have. Stuck but that's because they were surface level
concepts rather than emotional, grounding emotional, contexts let alone. Consistency.

(27:34):
Right SO i love that we got this more Serious austin.
THEORY i like the. HAIRCUT i think the haircut is.
Everything the overall presentation right, now it works for this.
Guy what he did mingling it up there With Bronson

(27:56):
reed and Bron breaker And Paul haym later on in the,
NIGHT i loved. It you, know he pretty much dictated
to them who he wanted to tag with and pretty much,
said you, know just watch me take the lead and.
Follow once it was established That Bronson reid was going

(28:22):
to be the one to tag With, Theory theory And
reid had a meeting of the, minds AND i just
loved How theory continue to stand his ground and and
pretty much let him Know i'm going to be quarterbacking
this tag. Match you look to me for the lead

(28:43):
and follow Because i'm going to set the. Example nice tag,
Match nice tag. Match there between all four, Guys, theory
this version Of theory did not feel off by any,
stretch did not feel, like wait a, minute this guy
was a sore thumb that's sticking At this guy doesn't. Belong.

(29:05):
NO i, mean from the fact that he's got a
little bit more bulk to, Him he's got some good
size to. Him held his own very well Against, Ciampunk
ditto against The hall Of famer there In ray Mystereo chef's.

(29:27):
KISS i, mean what more CAN i? Say just out
of the, Gate and, honestly nobody should be really surprised
That theory was able to hold his own against those,
guys because there's been enough body of his work over the.
Years you, know let's be, real we know what he's capable. Of,

(29:49):
love it's just the bad stench that this poor young
man had for years upon. Years so if you're A
Austin theory fan and you've been holding out hope and
you came so close to just throwing in the towel
with what we have seen so far early. On now

(30:12):
there's new reason to, go, well wait a, minute wait a.
Minute now we're still in the honeymoon. Period but everything
is looking pretty good right, now so Good main event
tag match Between Sea, Unpunk Raymond, Stereo, Bronson Reid Austin.

(30:33):
Theory you, Know i've been so used to Seeing red
And breaker as a tag, team and they just jail
so well. Together they really really. Do they do a
lot of things that remind me of The Steiner. Brothers
actually believe it or, not but, YEAH i was curious
how Well theory and read we're gonna jail and they

(30:58):
actually clicked pretty damn. GOOD i gotta SAY i. WAS
i was quite taken back by, it just the way
you watch this if you was just like flipping through
the channels and you hadn't WATCHED wwe programming in several,
weeks the way these guys, clicked it just seemed like
they had been a tag team for, probably you, know
a halfful of, Months like you would never know that

(31:21):
this was your first time Watching theory And read perform
as a tag. Team but they did pretty damn, uh
they did pretty, good damn. GOOD i would have to, Say,
uh theory read picking up the. Victory theory managed to
get the curb stomp on the back Of Ravens stereos

(31:46):
the Help, OKAY i did not say ANY i did
not say the. ESCORTS i don't know. Why sometimes my
phone is. Possessed it's kind of. Weird but, anyway no
theory had did the curb stomp to the back Of
Raymond STEREO's head to pick up the victory for his
tag team and. Everything but Again Austin theory like as

(32:09):
far as his work, ethic that was never the. Issue
dude looked like a main event fucking. Star the real question,
was you, know, hey can he get people to connect to?
Him you? Know is he? Is he? Believable and now
he's in a position where you're, curious you want to

(32:32):
see where this is going to go and all of
that Punk immediately After theory picked, up the wind went
to a pounding On. Theory eventually Bron breaker comes in
there spears the hell out of, him pretty much having
the show come to an end right. There, now the question,

(32:55):
remains and at least the way the commentators tried spinning seeing,
theory did theory do enough to pass the visions audition
tests to where maybe he's going to be given full
time status in the group and. Everything you could either

(33:19):
continue to Have austin theory fly rogue called his own damn,
shots or let him continue to roll with the. Vision,
HONESTLY i say let him continue to roll with the.
Vision nothing but good things can and will. Happen you,
know you just look at the great work That hayman

(33:43):
And rollins were able to do there With red And.
BREAKER i truly believe in my heart of hearts, collectively
as far as the team effort, goes they can make
that lightning strike. Again but this Time i'm in favor of,
theory without a doubt about, that without a doubt about.

(34:04):
That some other action that came about from tonight's W W,
row you know we were talking about by the, WAY
Cm punk ray. Mystereo let's not also forget we got
another appearance by the Ring General goother who basically it
was so nice they had to do it. Twice they

(34:24):
Had guther come out there to a chorus of booze
as he pretty much took a microphone after several minutes
to let people, say, yo y'all really shouldn't be booing,
me you should be booing the person that tapped out
like a, bitch and he pretty much was making his

(34:44):
way out of. THREE i, mean he really does bring
up a good, point he really really. Does BUT i
loved HOW Cm punk was the first to immediately get
In gunther's. Face goother's not back and, down not looking,
petrified none of. That it's Just gunther looking AT Cm

(35:06):
punk and what what are you gonna do about? It
what do you got to? Say rolling out of the
ring looking At Sam punk and doing that you can't
see me, gesture then running Into Raymond stereo at the
top of the, Ram Raymond stereo having some choice words With.
Goonther guther could care. Less guther is having His Dave,

(35:28):
Chappelle i'm rich bitch moment right, now like even running
for a second time now INTO Aj styles AND Aj
styles said To guther straight up, here where is? This
guess you don't know when to shut? Up? Huh And gunther, said,

(35:50):
YEAH i guess, so and he just laughed. OFF Aj
styles rolled. OUT i love this trolling that's continued to
go on here For Gunther and, honestly If i'm wwe,
look you've got the crowd right there in the palm
of your. Hands what you have reached now With gunther

(36:12):
and shout out To, Gunther Because, Gunther i've always sung
this Man's i've always praised him over the, years but
now he has really taken it to a whole new other.
Level now he is in That dominick mysterio white. Heat
REMEMBER i was When dominic finally turned that corner and,

(36:36):
just oh my, god just the. Heat you, know it's
kind of died, down just a little tiny, bit but
it's still. There but remember how nuclear it was a
couple of years. Back gunther has now reached that. Status
and when you've reached that status where essentially all you
can do is just have your music play and the

(36:59):
f are automatically booing your ass and you haven't even
said anything. Yet, yo that's where you want the. Fans
that's when you know you got them in the palm
of your, hand and that's where the real fun. Begins
AND i love that you can just tell legitimately That
goonther is having fun with the fans right. Now AND

(37:23):
i love everything about this. Guy he definitely reminds me
of a old school wrestler from back in the. Seventies you,
know he's got some vintage vibes to. Him, man it's
amazing HOW i look at certain gimmicks in twenty twenty
five and twenty twenty. Six twenty twenty six is literally

(37:43):
right around the, corner and it's just amazing how you
can look at some gimmicks and you can go, yeah
or some and or some wrestlers a outdate. It that's you.
Know but once in a blue moon you get somebody
where you can just go, yo this. Guy, yeah he
might be twenty twenty, five he might be twenty twenty,
six but, man he's a real good damn throwback. Vibe you,

(38:06):
know you could have easily, like let's be for real attitude.
ERA i don't think. SO i don't Think guther would have, sadly,
no but eighties When vince McMahon was all, about you,
know pretty much the comic book superhero super. Villains oh hell,

(38:27):
Yeah gunther goother would have been dominating a big, TIME i,
think you, Know and this would be a fun challenge
for my other friends in the podcasting world to, Tackle
like if we were to Plug gunther and put him
in the, eighties who would he have been feuding with the.

(38:49):
MOST i think that's a really good question to. Ask
who would he have been feuding with the most in the?
Eighties is it safe to say it would have been The,
haulkster you, know and then when you go into the
nineties and you think about what was going on there
With Brett hart, right then eventually you know everything that
came to be With brett And, sean like With guther

(39:10):
somehow been able to fit in, there or we have
been considered too bland of a of a, wrestler, Right
it really just makes you. Wonder but, like hands, down,
seventies Good God almighty put him right up there with
The Pedro, Moraless, bruno Se, Martino's Jesus, Man Rick, Flair DUSTY.

(39:37):
I i mean it would have been killer freaking good like, seriously,
killer killer freaking good. Man, Well guther's having like the
time of his life right, now And i'm all fine for,
HONESTLY i think they're going to continue to Have guther
right this going into The Royal, rumble which reminds me

(39:58):
of The Royal. RUMBLE i don't think The Role rumble
is gonna be hitting this. Year i'm already thinking about
twenty twenty, Six like in my mind it's already twenty twenty,
Six so forgive, me BUT i think The Royal rumble
is gonna be hitting like the last week In. January,
yeah it's gonna Be january thirty, First so you, know,

(40:21):
honestly at this, point Let guther continue to just bask
in the. Glory and as far as what's next For,
guther you, know where does he go from? Here it's
quite simple getting the real heavyweight championship, back and he
definitely should be one of the final four for The

(40:43):
Men's Roal, RUMBLE i mean no doubt about. That but,
MAN i just love how we're doing all this great
interplay With guther right. Now we've got him crossing. Pass
look at all the names that we just, mentioned all
of these, guys you, know when you're thinking about, it,
mystery no telling how many more years he's got, left

(41:03):
no telling how many more YEARS cm punk has. Left
we already know Aj styles is going to be going
into his final year as a Hen ring, wrestler right
and so to have going through your new legend killer
Per se right there interacting with all of these, Guys
i'm loving. It i'm really really loving, it but, yeah
let them write it out going into The Royal rumble

(41:26):
and take it from. There some other stuff from tonight's ww.
Rawl pretty solid match up Between Rhea ripley taking On.
Oscar i'm trying to think who won that. Match IF
i remember, RIGHT i Think oscar ended up winning that.

(41:49):
Match let me look at my notes. Here i'm almost
certain That oscar won that. Match, yeah, Yeah oscar won
that match via pinfall to the absolute best going at it.
Here nice way to start off the show, too by the,
way kind of, nice fired, up nice and hot and.
Everything m good, stuff good stuff right. Here now we

(42:12):
found out later on in the night that on let
me go back to my, NOTES i think it's either
on next WEEK'S raw or The january fifth edition Of
Monday Night. Raw it's gonna be on The january fifth
edition Of Monday Night. Raw The Koboogie warriors are going

(42:33):
to be taking ON eo And rhea for the women's tag.
Titles also announced for That january fifth, Episode Maxine dupree
will Face Becky lynch for The Women's Intercontinental championship and
then of course Bron BREAKER Cm punk for The World Heavyweight.
Championship that's gonna be going. Down On january, fifth speaking

(42:56):
Of Maxine dupre And Becky, Lynch Becky lynch was out
there cutting a scathing promo while at the same time
putting Down Maxine. Dupre Becky lynch was so quick to
talk about like all the awards and accomplishments and how
she's the best wrestler you, know according To Sports, illustrated

(43:18):
and it's kind of, like, well wait a, Minute wait a, Minute,
Becky wait a, Minute. Becky Sports illustrated got a new
list that's, out and then they've been somehow they've MADE
i don't know what kind of under the table arrangements
With Tony kahn and aw but they did almost like
virtually a sweep in awards and all. That so we

(43:38):
kind of got a pumped brakes a little bit. There
we'll talk more about that whole list, Too LIKE i
saw it and ALL i could do was just go
really at some of the some of the. Choices it
was just kind of head. Scratching should aw have definitely
won a couple of? Awards, yes, yes hands there's no

(44:01):
from What i've been seeing off and on the past several. Weeks,
Yeah and just WHAT i was watching of aw like
off and on in twenty twenty. Five, yeah some of those,
AWARDS i, go, yeah that's, Rightfully but then there's SOME
i look at AND i, go wait a, minute time, out.
Foul W amen play that back because that doesn't make any. Sense.

(44:22):
Uh Javonn evans took On reyo and picked up a.
Win but the bigger story right here and Javan evans
did really. GOOD i love seeing The michigan crowd and
how they reacted To Javon. Evans you, know in previous
years and we have been victim to witnessing, this which,

(44:43):
is you, know we see AN nxt talent because we're
watching THE nxt product and we're really behind THAT nxt
star and we think nothing but, yo, yo this cat's
going to get over you just. WATCH i, mean look
how they're look at how they are connecting down IN.
Nxt this is going to translate so well over to

(45:05):
the main. Shows and, man when we finally see them
come up to the main, show, like there is a huge,
disconnect just a huge. Disconnect to WWE's, credit they've bust
their asses much harder over the years and integrating main

(45:27):
stars from their Flagship raw And SmackDown shows to go
over TO nxt and then HAVE nxt cats pop up
on those flagship. Shows you, know they've really been stepping
it up over the past couple of, years and it
JUST i felt so not, relieved BUT i felt very

(45:49):
pleased WHEN i Saw Javon, evans you, know got a
nice ovation to the. Crowd everybody obviously knew who he
was and all that played out really. Well main story to, this,
though wasn't really the, match which was you, know it
was okay for what it was, worth But Michael cole
revealed That Javonne evans is getting ready to become a

(46:11):
free agent FROM nxt and that basically this match that
we saw him have tonight was pretty much his, audition
if you. Will but the main question was, asked you,
know Where's javonne gonna be heading? To kind of makes
you wonder if ultimately the decision is his or. WHAT

(46:35):
i think he would do pretty damn good on the
raw side of. THINGS i personally would love to see.
Him he would do good On, raw BUT i think
he is much more needed On, SmackDown especially since we've

(46:58):
got Smacked down getting ready to go back to three.
Hours you have got to now more than ever inject
some new blood On, SmackDown because that third hour is
gonna be a goddamn. KILLER i mean it, really really,
is it really. Is Nicki bella cut a probo pretty

(47:20):
much talking about how The lions, Suck eagles. Rule she's
the star of the. Division she's gonna destroy Where Kel
rodriguez And Stephanie. Vakuire as we found out that on
the as we found out on the Hang. On make
Sure i'm remembering it. Right next Week's, raw it's gonna

(47:43):
Be Nicki, Bella Raquel rodriguez And Stephanie vakire triple threat
dance for That Women's. Championship So Nicki, bella you know
now that she is embracing the dark. Side you, Know,
no this feels like a very comfortable you, know that

(48:05):
coat that you bust out once a. Year you. Know
in my particular, case there is a winter coat THAT
i have had for about twenty years, now you believe
it or, Not it's a really nice winter coat THAT i.
Have it's a really nice coat. Too some of the
buttons have come off over the. Year as a matter of,
FACT i literally said to my family the other, DAY i,
said could you do something solid for me For? Christmas

(48:27):
could you get me some buttons and potentially sew them
onto this. Coat it's such a really nice. Coat keeps
me nice and, warm LIKE i have not ever had
to take it to the, cleaners doesn't smell Or anything's
really nice. Coat one of these Days i'll show it.
Off it's a really nice coat, though but it just you,

(48:50):
know you put it on maybe you, know once twice a,
year and it's just it's. Comfortable it always, fits you,
know you feel good in, it. Right you don't feel,
like DO i have to really take my time to
break this In Nikki? Bella her going back to you
know what she does becks LIKE i never really was
taking her in as a. Babyface that felt very very

(49:16):
forced as far AS i was. Concerned just wasn't gelling that.
Well even if you were to tell me that this
was WWE's plan all along to get her to this,
POINT i would have said to, you, no just off the,
break you, know let her be a bad, guy because
that's what she. Does so damn. Well bailey Faced Roxanne

(49:38):
Perez bailey picking up a Win. Live morgan did her
best to interfere in the. Match she distracted the referee
and that had proved to be good For Roxanne, perez
who was able to get in a nice little cheap
attack and pretty much had the. Victory but Then Raquel

(50:00):
rodriguez jumped up on the opposite side of the apron
was calling for the referee Live morgan looking on baffled
like what the hell are you? Doing so all said and,
done lives a little help there pretty much backfired As
bailey was able to reverse pick up the w and.
Everything this definitely Made Judgment, day at least The Judgment

(50:23):
day girls get into a little bit of a heated
discussion backstage As roxanne was, wondering, like you, know what
the hell was going, on and liv actually tried to
be the peacemaker in all of, this reminding them that
they were a family and you, know there's not the

(50:44):
time for, quarrels and it's the, Holidays and every TIME
i hear, like but it's the, HOLIDAYS i think about
my favorite and it sucks That i'm not seeing my
commercial right now because it's one of my favorite holiday,
commercials The Fruity pebbles, commercial As barney disguises himself As

(51:04):
Santa claus so he can Eat fred's pebbles as fruity.
Pebbles i'm off hole Hungry santa to my, pebbles your,
pebbles and then the Real. Santa it is the season
to be Sharing. Fred here you. Go peal Oh. Fred
one of my favorite commercials all, time all. Time other than.

(51:27):
That ah, wow that was. It, yeah that was it for.
ALL i, MEAN i can't believe we blazed through that so.
Fast you have four, matches which we talked about all
four matches. Already, yeah that was it in a. Nutshell
so once, again next Week's, raw we got The Kabuki
warriors at, Correction we've Got Nikki, Bella Raquel, Rodriguez Stephanie

(51:52):
vakier a triple threat match for the women's, championship and
Then USO's will face Aj styles And dragon for the

(52:15):
Faces Becky lynch in a rematch for The women's ice
title and main event match Bron breaker versus Cm punk
for The World Heavyweight. Championship notice That Dominick, mysterio we
did see him backstage with the judgment day for that.
Segment take this with a grain assault until you hear

(52:37):
directly From Dominic mysterio. Otherwise But Dave melzer is reporting
that he was told that dom is getting examined at
some point this week to see what's going on with his,
shoulder saying that it could be a similar situation Like,
penta who's touching go right. Now dave noted How seth needed,

(53:01):
surgery but that Hopefully Dominic mysterio doesn't need, Surgery so
kind of have that going in the back of in
the back of your head on that. One let's go
to the polls, now BECAUSE i wanted to know what
did you guys think about TONIGHT'S. Wwe raw got an

(53:22):
exclusive poll up On twitter at THE rcwr, show and
let's see how that is. Doing by the, way shout
to everybody that's checking out the stream however you're doing
it right. Now appreciate you guys right. Now two options
thumbs up thumbs. Down fourteen percent of you are Giving

(53:44):
raw tonight a thumbs, down and eighty five percent of
you are giving the show a. Thumbs appreciate you. Guys
if you haven't voted, yet make sure you go. Vote
let your let your voices be. Heard all, Right but
nice little average episode OF RAW i wish we. HAD i, mean,

(54:06):
honestly it was one of your typical holiday episodes OF
raw as we go Into christmas and. Everything nothing too,
crazy you, know out of the. Norm nothing earth, shattering
but the way they're starting to build up That january fifth,
card like that's where the real money. Is and definitely

(54:27):
next week as, well since we're getting a couple of
since we're getting a couple of championship matches and all.
That so next two weeks worth OF raw looking pretty. Good.
Now in other headlines that we can get into here
on the, SHOW i want to briefly talk about what
was going on there with mcfoley case you guys were not.

(54:49):
Aware mc foley talked about how he will not appear
in WW wee While President Donald trump remains in, office
nor will he sign a new Ww legends deal when
his current one. Expires he took to social media talk about.
THIS i want to read to you his. Posts, uh

(55:11):
he kept it shortened. Simple he, said quote, unquote WHILE
i have been concerned about ww's close relationship With Donald
trump for several, months especially in light of his administration's
ongoing cruel and inhumane treatment of immigrants and pretty much
anyone who looks like an. Immigrant reading The president's incredibly

(55:35):
cruel comments in the wake Of Rob reiner's death is
the final straw for. ME i no longer wish to
represent a company that coddles a man who seemingly void
of compassion as he marches our country towards. Atrocity last,

(55:57):
NIGHT i INFORMED Ww Talent relations THAT i would not
be making any appearances for the company as long as
this man remains in. Office, ADDITIONALLY i will not be
signing a New legends deal when my current one expires In,
June So june twenty twenty six is when that's supposed to.
EXPIRE i LOVE wwe will always treasure my time with,

(56:20):
them AND i am deeply appreciative for all the opportunities
they afforded. Me but in the words Of, popeye The,
SAILOR i stands ALL i can, stands AND i can't
stands no. More so's that's mc foley's. Position and remember

(56:44):
we were here last week reacting to the unfortunate passing
of director Actor Rob reiner and his Wife Michelle. Reiner you,
know as we now know definitively now that their, Son Nick,
reiner is the one responsible for their, deaths and just

(57:09):
the amount of misinformation that was out. There it definitely
did not help that The president had said what he said,
initially and then when more information came out that, yo
apparently son is. Involved and to the media's, credit they
try to give the president an opportunity to clarify his,

(57:30):
statements try to walk some of those statements, back but
The president doubled. Down and you, know as we have,
seen unless you have just been laying low from social
media all, together so many people left and right have

(57:50):
common and spoke About Rob. RYANER a lot of people
that just wasn't even about whatever The president had said About.
Reiner they just wanted to share their personal thoughts On Rob.
RENER i saw an emotional video That jerry, O'Connor the

(58:15):
dude From sliders and Stand By. ME i saw him
share some thoughts from an, interview, uh and he talked
about how months, after almost like a couple of years,
after he did Stand By, me which was directed By Rob.
Reiner rob heard that he was in town somewhere out

(58:36):
In Los, angeles heard that he was in town and
wanted to treat him to, lunch wanted to go out
with him and have. Lunch And jerry broke down like
a like a little baby and just talked about how
that meant so much to. Him and you, know one story,
also another story that comes to mind is the one

(58:58):
on Sign Field seinfeld one of my favorite shows of all.
Time they were very close to being canceled in those
first couple of. Seasons Rob reiner saw the, series he
saw the potential of, it and he believed in the

(59:18):
series so much so that his production company had stepped
in for a bit there And Rob pool strings with
THE nbc executives and the rest is pretty much, history
as they, say and all. That but so many people
just left and, right you, know coming out talking About Rob.

(59:40):
Reiner you, know a person did the world of good
as far as the world of, entertainment, philanthropy humanitarian work
and all, that and definitely was part of the discussion
when it came to you, know, hey don't matter how you,

(01:00:02):
vote just get out, there you know and. Vote he
definitely was one of those, people and SO i get
Where Nick foley is coming from in regards to. THIS
i want to read to you What Kevin nash had
to say recently on His Click this podcast BECAUSE i

(01:00:23):
actually had saw this clip on YouTube AND i thought
What Kevin nash had to say in regards to mc.
Foley you, KNOW i saw What kine put out, There caine's.
Statement you, know it was just pretty, yeah that's what
you would, expect you, know like, like BUT i Thought
Kevin nash really really and honesty and there was true

(01:00:48):
sincerity here with What Kevin nash had. Said hang on
my ring doorbell is going off like a. Maniac, okay,
wife he's. Home, Wife he's just out getting, home which
is great Because i'm almost done with the, show SO
i get to catch up with her for a little
bit before she goes to. Bed But Kevin nash had

(01:01:08):
said this quote, Unquote mick was in the, news he,
bailed AND i was just, like, MAN i understand. It
and if that's How mick, FEELS i get it from mixed.
Standpoint but for me, personally BECAUSE i had some people
text me like are you gonna follow? SUIT i, said

(01:01:31):
let me explain my. POSITION i called a couple of
people Because i'm not gonna fucking text my thought. Patterns
But i'm Like paul Le Vec TRIPLE h AND i
drove up and down the road for a year and a.
Half paul was the first of the click to Hold

(01:01:52):
Tea nash's. Son as time goes, on he gets With
steph AND i was at their. WEDDING i was one
Of paul's best. MEN i was in the wedding WHEN

York city And linda McMahon took my wife out for.

(01:02:16):
Today and that was my wife's first visit To New York.
City WHILE i was busy doing a commercial and doing
some other, Things linda took care of my. Wife And
i'll forever be grateful for that because my wife was really.
NERVOUS i look at the McMahon, LEVEC i look at
them as. Family they're just family to. Me linda knows

(01:02:39):
what my political views, are and let me just for
a quick, sidebar that's not really sure What Kevin nash's
political beliefs. Are Kevin nash and AND i don't want
to misspeak On Kevin, nash But Kevin. Nash he's always
come off to me as as an open, minded middle

(01:03:04):
of the road kind of. Guy if he's A, DEMOCRAT
i don't know anything about, that but he kind of
comes off more to me like an. INDEPENDENT i would
have to rely on Hardcore Kevin nash, fans definitely those
that check out his joint With Sean oliver's podcast With Sean.
OLIVER i would have to rely on you guys more

(01:03:25):
if he has like definitively, No i'm on this side
of the political, party BUT i know in regards to
this current, administration he has been letting his thoughts be
hurt and he does not like many of the things

(01:03:46):
that this president and his administration have been. DOING i,
mean just you get about five minutes during your lunch,
break just hop on His, twitter and you will know
exactly Where Kevin nash stands, politically that's for. Sure, Anyway
lenda took care of my, wife And i'll forever be
grateful for that because my family was really. NERVOUS i

(01:04:10):
look at Mcmaan, LEVC i look at them as. Family
they're just family to. Me linda knows what my political views,
are AND i remember we were At Barclays center where
the nets. Play her suburban truck was coming out AND
i walked up to it and security guys her detail stopped.

(01:04:30):
Me it was priceless the look she gave, me like
you fucking, liberal and she just looked at. Me she, goes,
ah he's. Okay AND i went over AND i gave
her a hug AND i asked her how she was.
Doing she said. Fine it's like My republican, family you,

(01:04:51):
know but they're. Family and some people tried to then
say on social media that All Kevin nash gives a damn,
about you, know it's the money for, him And Kevin
nash was very quick to shoot that, down, saying, no
it is not about money at. All you, Know i've
made my money and then Some i'm living quite, comfortably you.

(01:05:14):
Know AND i HONESTLY i believe that between with What
nash is doing with his, podcast like he's really good
if he were to quit the podcast, Tomorrow like, Financially
nash is good Because, nash And i've said this on
the show for years upon, Years nash has always been

(01:05:34):
good with his. Money nash makes it be his business
to know about stock trades and all that stuff and
put himself in a position where he knows the right
people that can break it down to him and all
that he is a, like if you ever want to
talk finances in business with a wrestling, Head nash is

(01:05:56):
at the top of that list of people that you
definitely want to get some tips from without a, doubt you.
Know so you, KNOW i see all, this and you
know it's it's crazy to, me just the world that
we live. In it really, is because gone are the
days Where i've said this time and time. AGAIN i

(01:06:19):
hate it sound like a broken, record but gone are
truly the days where if you, degree if you disagree with, somebody, politics,
religion you, know what have? You gone are the days
where you can actually sit down with that, person break
bread and have that meeting of the. Minds you, know
in worst case, scenario y'all just walk. Away, WELL i

(01:06:40):
don't agree with what you're. SAYING i don't agree with
but you had a really great back and, forth and
hell in the, process y'all might be. Friends you. KNOW
i remember WHEN i worked in market, research one of
my best friends up UNTIL i left was one of my.

(01:07:00):
Supervisors AND i don't know, how but, like the more
and more that we had spoke about our political beliefs and.
Everything she is a Hardcore. REPUBLICAN i am an, independent
SO i can go like either. Way and what was

(01:07:23):
always so cool was when she would want to get a, Sincere,
OKAY i need to, know like what's the optics, Here,
LIKE i don't want to just talk to somebody that's
on one. SIDE i want to talk to somebody that's truly,
unbiased and we'll look at it from all. Angles she would,

(01:07:47):
always you, know and we would talk in her office
for like fifteen twenty, minutes you, know usually like once a,
week and we would just talk. Politics AND i remember
during the President's President trump's first. TERM i remember there
was a lot of things that you, know she was,

(01:08:08):
four there were some things that she was. Against AND
i remember some of the conversations you know that we would.
Have i'm not gonna lie to you got some of
the conversations that we would. Have it would get. Heated
we never, debated but but we would have heated conversations

(01:08:29):
about you, know About trump in his first. Administration but
no matter how intense those conversations, got when it was
all said and, done we always were like good talk

(01:08:51):
and we would always, Say, man isn't it amazing that
like nobody can really sit down and talk like this
and still be friends and still be you. Know so
now some of you guys be, like, Yeah, LEE i
bet you got screwed when it came to your raises,
though OR i bet you got screwed when it came
to maybe Holiday christmas, bonuses or it came to no
on the, contrary despite you, know no matter HOW i

(01:09:14):
felt and still to this, Day i'm very. Critical i'm
very critical of the, president very critical of this current.
President both. TERMS i was very critical of, him continued to.
Be but, no, like if, anything when it came to those,

(01:09:35):
bonuses raises and all, that she would always make SURE
i was taken care of, always no matter WHAT i
was like one of the first people she made sure
THAT i was taken care. Of so but, yeah gone
gone all those. DAYS i, mean, look you Understand Mick
foley in the position that he's, in And god bless.

(01:09:56):
Him you, KNOW i Know Dave meltzer had touched upon
the fact, that you, know McK, foley he tries not
to bring up the talk of politics too much because
apparently there was some SHOW i don't know if it
was earlier this year or a couple of years, ago
but there was some show that McK foley it was sold,

(01:10:19):
out but then he sounded off something that had went
down With. Trump Somehow trump ended up making the news
And foley was pretty disgusted about. It and next, thing you,
know that show that was sold. Out, everybody it was
a southern. State everybody was canceling their tickets left and,
right demanding. Refunds AND i don't know if fully ended

(01:10:41):
up doing that show or if because of the, cancelations
he just you, know he just, Said, okay bump, this
let's just maybe do this at a later date or.
What but you, Know i've always been a firm believer
and when you feel that passionate about, something stick to your,

(01:11:03):
principal stick stick to your. Guns you, know see it
all the way. Through if that's how you feel about,
something why should you bend to someone else's will or you,
know their, Opinion why should you yield to. Them you,
know you're allowed to feel however you want to feel

(01:11:23):
at the end of the. Day so you, know For Mick,
foley for him to, go, Look i'm putting action behind my. Words,
right you hear so many, people Well i'm gonna Leave.
Twitter remember, That i'm gonna Leave twitter because this, person
and then they're still On. Twitter, Well i'm gonna Leave
america because this. Person if they're elected, President i'm telling,

(01:11:45):
You i'm gonna leave the. Country i'm Gonna i'm gonna leave, because,
like you don't need to make no. Announcement i've always
been a firm believer in. That i've always been a firm.
Believer and if you're gonna do, something you don't need
to announce. It just do the damn. Thing, now if
you're trying to make sure or that your fan base
knows what's going, on and you're just trying, to you,

(01:12:05):
know make sure that you know they don't get taken by,
rumors exaggerated. Truths you want for them to hear right
from the horse's, Mouth, hey this is what's going, on
and this is why it's going. On, okay you know there's,
like there's nothing wrong with, that but, YEAH i mean
there's so many people that just, honestly let's be, real

(01:12:28):
they talk a really damn good, game but when it
comes time to put up or shut, up you know
they're shutting, Up so For Mick foley to go, No
i'm not just saying, this but here's what else is.
UP i, mean, LOOK i was watching the news the other.
Day this will give you really full context about what's

(01:12:53):
currently going on here in The United, states and shout
out to our overseas. Listeners here's what's going. On here's
what's going on right. Now because of what happened With
trump during the first. Administration for the first, term a

(01:13:16):
lot Of americans, Decided, yo if it's going to kind
of be like, this let's just look into moving to
another country and just sit it out and maybe we
might come, back depending on who the president, is you.
Know and some people did come back When biden was in,

(01:13:37):
office and those same people left the country again When
trump got re. Elected and then you've had some people
that when they left the First trump, term they still
haven't come. Back and there's been more and more people

(01:14:00):
during this president's second term that have, said, NAH i
JUST i need a, break LIKE i need TO i
don't see IF i can find. Information but there was
a couple that ended up just wanting to take a
break From america because of all the politics and everything
that was going. On and they ended up starting their

(01:14:22):
own company in this country where they their mission primary
or their mission STATEMENT i should, say they're trying to
help Other americans easily make the transition into succeeding in this,

(01:14:43):
country like from finding a. Place, hey if they got,
kids and they're trying to make sure that their kids
get the proper, education schooling education, grade you, know, hey
do you know the? Language you? Know if, not they
try to make sure they set them up so, that you,
know they can take some good classes and all. That

(01:15:04):
it's really and they've increased their. Business like just within
the past like two, years they've increased their business by
three hundred. Percent so like at, first when they began this,
business they probably had like within a year's, time for,
example they had maybe about ALL i would, say twenty

(01:15:25):
five maybe fifty people that were interested in coming to
that specific country or just thinking about leaving the country
and going. Elsewhere, right what ended up being their clientele
was about twenty five to fifty. People now when you
fast forward to twenty twenty five at the time of this,

(01:15:48):
recording you, know now they've got like about somewhere between
two hundred and fifty to almost four hundred people that
they're helping with relocating uh to that. Country mind blowing and, everything,
Right but you, Know Mick foley has a right to

(01:16:11):
feel what he. Feels i'm sure there's a lot of
people that feel that. Way but when you look at
how deep in the political, spectrum how deep uh the
McMahon family, is you, know and and their their relationships
there not to mention their own personal. AMBITIONS i, mean

(01:16:32):
For god's, sake we know That TRIPLE. H paul levec
is one of the heads for The Presidential Fitness. Program
atter of, fact he just put out a. Video there
was a video Of TRIPLE h at The White. House,
uh they probably recorded it Whenever TRIPLE h Was when
was he was in D c for The Saturday night's
main event. JOINT i bet you that's when they recorded.

(01:16:53):
It but basically they Got TRIPLE h, saying, hey this
is how you can stay healthy young, kids you know
during holiday, season you, know get out there and work
out and all that other. Stuff so kudos to mc.
Foley you, know he was absolutely right when he, said,
hey you, KNOW i know he wishes that MORE wwe

(01:17:17):
talents would but like everybody's, different you, Know, unfortunately not
everybody has done it smart like mcfoley and HAS x
amount of money tucked away and and they pretty much
got that good fuck you money right where they can
just you, KNOW i don't need to be doing. THIS
i can you, KNOW i can go to aw OR

(01:17:38):
i can go OR i can go do, this OR
i can do this you know over here and all.
That you, know not everybody is like, that, unfortunately you,
know everybody's. Different everybody's. Different so food for thought on that.

up An oscar nomination and all. That that's. Great you,
know some movies are sleeper. Hits it. Happens it. Happened

(01:19:29):
some end up becoming cult classic. Favorites LIKE i, remember
AND i was watching it over the. WEEKEND i was
watching the very First friday. MOVIE i was just happen
to be Watching beet WHILE i was doing a little
bit of gift, wrapping AND i was just you, know kicking,
back just, chilling AND i was remembering how stupid it

(01:19:52):
was When friday first came. Out but even way back
then when it first came, out like we knew we
were watching a dumb, movie but at the same, time
we also felt we were watching a cult, classic.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
You.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
Know and then of course we Got, friday you, know
Next friday and Then friday after NEXT i ended up
watching all three ON bt like back to. Back so you,
know the, money you, know it might not Be bookoo's
money that it's bringing, in but you, know it's all

(01:20:34):
about that cult following and the little bit That i've
seen from The Smashing. Machine those That i've spoken to
a lot of them are, Like, yo this is going
to be a movie that you know a lot of
people yet they slept on. It but once they start
having access to it on their respective streaming, platforms you,

(01:20:55):
know condigitally rented own it and all that like, that
when they're gonna be, like, wow like this was actually
really really. Good SO i KNOW i already HAVE Hbo.
Max i've been HAD Hbo. Max i'm definitely gonna be
checking it. OUT i wanted to see it in, theaters
but the biggest issue for me WHERE i, live like
nobody was showing. It, well shoot you, not nobody was showing,

(01:21:17):
it AND i was a little taken back by. THAT
i THINK i had to go to maybe like McClain
virginia or somewhere in what the Fuck virginia just to
be able to watch that. Movie and it's, like what the?
Hell other than. That one other THING i want to
touch upon real. Quick Bruce. Pritchard you, know he's back

(01:21:44):
With Conrad thompson doing his something To wrestle with and that's,
great causing quite a little bit of controversy for comments
he made in regards to music legend in house Legend
Jim johnson and whether or Not Jim johnston deserves to

(01:22:06):
go into THE Wwe hall Of. Fame and this is
a direct quote That pritcher had. Said and you can't, say, oh,
well this was taken out of context because literally what
they shared from their podcast show page On twitter is

(01:22:27):
what was. Shared i'm, like, okay so we can't take
you out of, context quote. Unquote jim had a huge
contribution to the business in. General jim wrote the soundtrack
for a lot of people's. Youths no problems there right right.

(01:22:47):
Now as a product child of the early, EIGHTIES i definitely,
like there's no lies detected. There the issue becomes with
only having one person to do. That after a, while
it all starts to sound the. Same it's not a
knock on that. Person when you look at the body

(01:23:08):
of work That Jim johnston, did it's. Incredible jim had a.
Sound if you go back and after a while you
start to listen To jim's, work everything sounds like bam
Bam bigelow's. Entrance that's why we also Use Jimmy. Hart

(01:23:29):
that's Why Rick darringer was. Used that's why other people were.
USED i thought his work was, great but when you
have so much of, it it can sound the. Same
instead of getting more, help you want to keep more.
Control let go man take the. Help so Obviously Bruce,

(01:23:56):
pritchard you, know AND i sure that if there was
something more That Conrad thompson was trying to pull Because
i'm reading this transcript AND i heard the, audio looked
At Bruce pritchett's facial expressions during this, piece and you,
know there was a part of me that's just looking

(01:24:17):
at this And i'm going so, scenes Like, bruce, boy
here is kind of revealing some stuff behind the scenes
that could potentially suggest that maybe there was a little
bit of, contention a little bit of friction there in
regards To, Johnson and you, know, hey how about we,

(01:24:37):
collaborate how about we outsourced this because this just you,
know and you hear about, this you know all the
time when it, comes for, example to musical scores and all.
THAT i know because you are talking to somebody that
has an associates in media. PRODUCTION i know that there

(01:25:00):
were a lot of projects THAT i had worked on
at community college where after so many projects Of, Okay
i'm going with this, Music i'm using. This i'm using
like everybody's got their own definitive style when it comes

(01:25:21):
to the type of music that they're using to try
to score a particular, scene or they're trying to move
some type of. Footage maybe it's a oh, wow the
joint just blew up. There sorry about. THAT i THINK
i fixed. That let's, See, YEAH i fixed. It sorry about. That,
guys you just zoomed right, in you, know especially WHEN

(01:25:42):
i was just rubbing my. Nose sorry about that. Anyway,
no but but like after a, while you, know it's, like,
NAH i Know lee's scoring WHEN i hear. It If
i'm looking at, something and you, Know lee has a,
Trademark LIKE i know his, TRADEMARK i know his like and,

(01:26:08):
like AND i could switch it. UP i, could, like you,
KNOW i could go with a whole completely different. GENRE
i could go with like a whole different style of.
Mixing you, know it gets to a point where it's like, no, no, no,
NO i know What Lee sanders mixed WHEN i hear,
it you, know which isn't a bad, thing but it's

(01:26:28):
like if it's not really capturing what you truly envision
for that particular. Project so who else we? Got who
else can take a crack at?

Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
This?

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
Right SO i get Where Bruce pritcher is coming from within,
reason but not for. Nothing not for, nothing we think
about Deaf, rebel we think About. God i'm trying to

(01:27:01):
think of like the other people that have been involved
WITH wwe and who's currently, involved like mixing the music
and all, That and it's safe to say that at this, point,
okay well now we can actually take a step back
and we can go. Okay so, really when it's all
said and, done you, know if we were to induct

(01:27:23):
somebody in THE Wwe hall Of fame as far as
music contributions, go you, know, hey these guys provided the
soundtrack for some of our favorite. Wrestlers Jim johnson is
a first ballot for, Sure hall Of fame or. Induction,

(01:27:44):
like there's no mistake about. It AND i take those
comments about everything sounds like, Bam Bam. BIGELOW i take
that quite personally because anybody that has never listened to
THE Wwe anthology album that came out back in the.
DAY i think it came out around the early two.
THOUSANDS i remember me and my, friends we all went

(01:28:06):
out of our way to buy that. JOINT i think
it was see you opened it. Up you opened it,
up AND i think it opened four or four to six,
sections SO i think you have like about four to
six disc of. Music my, god we used to push

(01:28:29):
the hell out of that. Joint you're really trying to
tell me That Jim Johnson's birth Of faith theme And
Stonecoas Steve austin are the same damn, thing, like, like come, on,
man like, really but my, GOD i just think About The,
UNDERTAKER i think About Ultimate. WARRIOR i think About Yoko,

(01:29:00):
Zuna psycho Said Diesel, Repo Man, joink The, Clown, kamala Tug, Boat.
Earthquake so goddamn, DIVERSE i, mean whatever that particular situation

(01:29:24):
called For Jim, johnston like The, king the absolute Freaking'.
KING i Wish conrad would have probed a little more
and find, out, like what's like your bone of contention?
Here when it comes To jem, like you, know you're holding,

(01:29:49):
back like what's really going on? Here and If Bruce
pritchard's only gripe is, hey you, know he kind of
wanted to keep control. More he didn't want to really.
Collaborate if that's kind of his way of, saying you're
kind of disqualified a little bit because when it came

(01:30:10):
to collaborating with, others you weren't really. Friendly you. WEREN'T
i love. COLLABORATING i gotta SAY i love collaborating with
folks on, projects especially when it comes to anything music,
related BECAUSE i can have that keen air AND i
could be, like you know what that needs And i'll
fuck around with something and they'll be, Like, yo that's fucking,

(01:30:33):
fire or it'll be vice. VERSA i love. THAT i.
Know Jim johnson had did an interview it feels like
earlier in the, year and he talked about how bad
some of the music is that he's hearing today from
some of the wrestling, promotions definitely FROM. WWE i can't

(01:30:54):
remember who it was that interviewed, him but, YO i
think this would be a nice moment right here to
circle back to him and get his thoughts on What
Bruce pritchard had to, say especially given the fact that
there's an underlining disc about, yo he wasn't really a collaborative.

(01:31:15):
Person he wanted to maintain, control and, Yeah i'd like
to hear HOW i would like to hear his response to.
That as we are near the, END i definitely want

Because now, i'm going, Oh shit i'm five years away,

FORTY five i Feel like i'm in my twenties still.
RIGHT now i Feel like i'm like, twenty five, twenty

(01:35:33):
six maybe. Twenty seven and. IT'S funny i was telling
my wife. About it, She goes she goes cause she's
one year older, than me so, she's, like hey enjoy
it for what. It's worse, she's like because you could be,
you know, my age and, it's like, you know then,
you're really, you know kind of. FEELING depressed i, Said really, she's,

(01:35:55):
like yeah, you know it comes, and goes like but,
you know so, YOU know, i, SAID well i don't
want to feel. Like That, Like jesus i've already put
in a kit on a more SERIOUS and i definitely.
WANT to i want to say this because this is very,

(01:36:17):
very Important and i'm glad we're still on the air
because this is very. Very important let me talk to
all men for, a minute especially my black. Men men
when you are my age now more, than ever you
need to start doing what you need to do to

(01:36:39):
make sure that you're going to be around for your
loved ones for many years. To come don't short, change
yourself you. Feel me And what i'm alluding to is
when you hit, forty five it's time to get those,
cancer screenings get the prostate, checked out get that kit

(01:37:04):
where you can shit in, a box and, you know
get your blood work. Checked out make sure everything is.
One point do it once, a year, you know give
yourself a really good peace. Of mind. You know early detection,
is key you know because the, earlier look you don't
want nothing first, of all but, heaven forbid early detection

(01:37:28):
is so critical and it breaks my heart when we're
losing so many people way before, their time especially. To
cancer so do what you need. To do get. Checked out,
you know as many of you, guys know there was
a death in my, family recently and you know he

(01:37:53):
never went to. The hospital, you know he never got
checked out by. His doctors and, you know if he
to listen to, his body and that's the OTHER point
i want. To make listen to, your body don't power
through soon as something. Feels wrong, you know your body
is no different than. Your car and what do we
do when we start to recognize something that's going on with.

(01:38:15):
The car the car seems kind, of funny seems kind.
Of off we go get it. Checked out if we
can put that same level of care and time and
patience and resources into, a car we can do the
same thing with, our bodies right because we're only going
to get one run around. The sun, so yeah, you
know if you're forty five or older and you have

(01:38:38):
not got through, SCREENINGS yet i. FEEL fine i ain't
nothing wrong. With, me like don't do. That shit that's
just ignorance, Right, there like go get. Checked out you'll thank,
yourself later especially if you know something is caught very. Very,
EARLY also i want to give a shout out to

(01:39:05):
this actor because he's definitely FROM The, Dc maryland. VIRGINIA
area i definitely want to give him his. Respective flowers
shout Out To, james ranson who tragically passed away at
the age of. Forty six that name should sound familiar to.

(01:39:27):
You guys he was an actor on, the wire so,
you know seeing him on, the screen, you Know. Like
gray he also made. NEWS headlines i think it was
before he broke Big. In hollywood he was minding his

(01:39:50):
own business at his apartment Out, In, baltimore MARYLAND and
i guess he was coming in to a apartment, or
something and long, story short he saw a woman that
was being Sexually assault it looked like this woman was
about to, get raped and he pretty much stopped, the
rapists and, you know the rest was pretty. Much history,

(01:40:15):
you know he, stopped them and, you know somebody called
the cops and that person was was apprehended. And everything
when you you all may not be aware, of this
but apparently he passed away due. To suicide and it's

(01:40:35):
safe to say it's safe to say that everything that
led up to him taking his life may have been
the result of reported abuse that he suffered, many many
many years ago at the hands of. A mayor, when

(01:41:00):
teacher say teacher by the Name Of timothy Rualoh and
james did, come forward it was like around. Twenty twenty
prosecutors ultimately declined to pursue charges after the. Police investigation

(01:41:23):
so because of, that decision no criminal case or public
legal action moved forward against. The accused so but, You
know james did. His part, you know he went public
and he reported it to the. Local authorities he was

(01:41:45):
sexually abused by this said individual when he was twelve
years old Out, In, phoenix maryland and he has shared
publicly leading up to his death that he believes that
because of, that abuse it affected. His life what it's

(01:42:05):
what had him go down a really bad rabbit hole
that included drugs and, you know things of. That nature,
you know he never was whole. After that SO mm
i always get so. Fucking sad you guys have. NO
idea i always get so DEPRESSED when i hear about,

(01:42:28):
a passing even if it's just. NATURAL causes i just
get so DEPRESSED when i hear about somebody passing so
close to, the HOLIDAYS and i think about that family that,
you know now instead, of celebrating, you know they now
have to prepare for, a burial and, you know it

(01:42:50):
makes that first year of, that holiday, you know that,
initial holiday but then the one, year anniversary it makes,
it tough makes it, really tough. You know so, my thoughts,
my prayers mike condolences definitely goes Out To james, ranson's, friends,
colleagues colleagues loved ones and just. It's tough, it's tough.

(01:43:17):
You know it just goes to show you that you just.
Never know you just never know what is going on
behind a. Person's smile and no matter how upbeat and
all that they, may be how okay mentally they seem
like they're, all there, you know they seem like they
got their faculties, in check like they't got nothing to.
Worry about just one of those friendly reminders to especially

(01:43:41):
if you got that friend that you haven't heard from
in a while, and everything it's just one of those
friendly reminders to just check in, with them make sure,
they're okay let, Them, Know hey i'm there for you
