So, um, get, uh, we actually have a bit of a little bit of an idea on how the card is going to shape up. We’re going to talk about all that stuff here today. Some of it’s blatantly obvious, some of it’s interesting, um, to say the least. But, um, but yeah, so, uh, but yeah, um, that’s that is, uh, that that’s that is pretty much about it. But as for our NHP family, man, how are you guys doing? Thank you to everybody who is here in the live chat. Logan, Bell, Dante, uh, everybody, like I said, who’s here in the live chat and my guys a part of the replay mafia, JT, JB, and everybody else. Thank you guys so very much for joining us here today for this edition of the news. And how are you guys doing, man? As always, thank you guys. We appreciate you guys being here, man. Um, so I see you guys are talking a lot about Seth Rollins. So, we’re going to start with that. Um, so Let’s see. Let’s see. It’s very interesting. It’s very interesting because, you know, obviously, you know, we heard he was hurt and stuff. Rollins confirmed some things, but then we got some other piece of news. So, we’ll talk about that today. Um, it’s really interesting. Belle says she she’s had it with wrestling fans. Bel me the [ __ ] too. I mean, man, I golly, if you know, if it’s not uh something’s always got to be wrong, man. Something’s always always got to be wrong. You know, you can’t have an opinion. You, you know, um if if you like one company, you got to completely [ __ ] hate the other one. I mean, it is it it is it is it is ridiculous out here, man. I mean, um, again, um, you know, I I I just I don’t understand it sometimes, bro. I I do not understand it sometimes. But regardless, um, she says, well, to finish out the comment, she she says um, she says she’s had it with wrestling fans on Twitter this week. All I said was, I put Eio Sky up there with Kenny Omega and Will, which is her opinion. This is this is like I said they cannot understand that. So that’s they acted as if I said Maxine. First of all, Bel you’re not wrong. Okay. Um well, okay. Well, first and foremost, at at a base layer, yes, it is your opinion. So, so um you know there there’s no there’s no right there’s no right or wrong answer. You know what I mean? We get people all the time, bro. They say, you know, you guys are are are wrong for thinking X, Y, and Z. You know, you uh um I would say the the the most one of the funniest times we got it was after the Swerve and Adam Paige uh the Steel Cage match. Everybody was like, “This is backyard garbage.” So it’s so because of my opinion that I actually love deathmatch wrestling. I I I’m backard garbage. I Yeah, because I like deathmatch wrestling. I like a bunch of [ __ ] snobs in the backyard. A bunch of dorks in the backyard stabbing each other with, you know, [ __ ] uh plastic knives. That that that’s what I like now. Okay. Um wonderful. So exactly what you said and and I’m for them and pretty much dude and and which is crazy that you say that because I feel like IO is like in a general consensus for being like one of the best wrestlers in the world right now. Like male or female. Um I I I don’t see what’s wrong with that. But wrestling fans, bro. [ __ ] wrestling fans. Eio is leg again. EO um like I for the best I mean the best if we’re talking about best wrestlers in the world right now like in the ring you’re obviously looking at like Eio Sky, Will Osprey uh yeah pro um Adam Paige uh was probably up there. Um so so look man I I I don’t get it. I I I don’t see what’s wrong with it. But then again, half the time wrestling fans, they’re they’re very uh they’re very narrow-minded individuals. So, which very minded, especially you said, Mhm. I was going to say which IO, not not to mention ju just put on like an absolute classic in in a main event of an all women’s pay-per-view. So, I don’t know, wrestling fans, bro. I I don’t get it. You know, wrestling fans because even like you said, like I thought Ho is one of the most commonly like liked just wrestlers in general right now. I mean, I always see like people praising her on every social media platform. So, I really don’t get the combat to that opinion when it’s a I think it’s a very sensible opinion. I think most people would have at least somewhat agree with that. I know I would. You know what? It just popped in my head. You probably got the brunt of of AEW fans because now now that I’m reading this again, you said she’s up there with Kenny and Will and to those people, Kenny and Will Osprey are like gods walking amongst men. So like I could kind of see. Also, a lot of AEW fans probably have like Mercedes Monet or Tony Storm bias, which I I I’ll fight the battle for Tony Storm for sure. Uh Tony Storm and Eio are are are easily like the the the the two best like as of right now. Um but you probably caught the brunt of of some AEW fans and and and when anybody gets close to their to their Kenny Omega or Will Osprey uh conversations, they they uh they do not take take kindly to that. So, now that I’m now now that I actually uh thought about that a little deeper, that that’s probably where that stems from, for sure. Definitely. I would not be shocked. Not at all. So, let me let me Trying something really quick to try to get Sir’s connection back. Right. Okay. All right. Okay. There you are. I think it might be good now. Okay. Yeah, it was it was it was all messed up there. It was real choppy. Yeah, it was. Ah, okay. All right. So, yeah. Um, she says she’s sure if she asks either of those guys if Eio Sky is in the conversation with them. Uh, oh, convocation. Convocation or conversation. Well, yeah, I think I think they would agree too. I would I would agree with that, Bill. I I I would agree with that, Bill, for sure. for sure. Yeah, 100%. 100%. So, 100%. No, I I would absolutely agree. I absolutely agree with that opinion for sure. For sure. So, but we cannot have them according to wrestling fans as well. Actually, no, according to Triple H, too. We cannot have them. So, Belle, you should have just shut up and been a fan. Maybe she was Argo one of Triple H’s burners. You might have been. You might have been. He’s He’s probably trying to get back on Kenny and Will’s uh Kenny and Will’s uh Yeah, in their good graces. He’s out there gatekeeping them. Um but hey, I I don’t see anything wrong with it, but but wrestling Twitter. Then again, Bel, you got to think, man, these are the same people that uh, you know, these are the same people that they they think everything’s a work. Like I said, you you you have to be, you know, you have to be a tribalist. You got to be on one side of the [ __ ] fence or the other. Um, not not in between. You can’t like both companies. Even though these are the people whenever AEW does something wrong, they’ll be like, just love professional wrestling, but if you like something from the other company, then it’s a [ __ ] problem. and the WWE fans do the same [ __ ] [ __ ] So, I mean, what what are you gonna do, bro? What are you gonna do? It’s so bad. It’s It’s so bad. This th this is number one reason why I stay off Twitter 90% of the time. 90% of the time. If I’m not talking to you guys or making a post about the podcast, I I I just can’t do it. I can’t do it. It is It is It is ridiculous, man. People just be on there looking for arguments. So looking for something they can call stupid and then they reach like obviously what they did with your comments. So but [ __ ] wrestling fans, bro. [ __ ] wrestling fans. Um so like I said, man, we’re going to start you guys off with Seth Rollins now that I got my rant about wrestling Twitter out of the way. Um, we’re going to start you guys off with Seth Rollins as we’re going to talk Seth Rollins and his uh current injury that he is battling, so they say. So, according to Uncle Dave, Seth Rollins, um, oh wait, no, that is, uh, okay, never mind, never mind, never mind. That’s a different one. That’s the next story. Um, okay. So, according to the Rich Eisen Show, Seth Rollins uh featured as a guest on the show this past week. I believe it might have been yesterday morning, and he talked about his knee injury. He said, “His knee injury will have him out for an extended period of time.” He says, and I quote, “When I landed, I felt my knee kind of pop and buckle. Monday, I was in Birmingham, Alabama, where our specialists uh are at. We took a look at the knee through imaging. It was a little too swollen. So, we’re so we’re going to take another look hopefully in a week or two uh so that we can get a firm diagnosis and go from there. Uh this is going to uh this is going to have me out for an extended period of time. We’re talking off air early. Uh we were talking off air earlier. It’s a bummer, but our business moves on. It isn’t the first time I was injured and it’s not going to be the last time. Uh, he says, “I’ve always got Wrestlemania in the back of my mind. I’m like, can I make it back for WrestleMania season? I feel good about that.” Um, but beyond a firm timeline, I beyond a firm timeline, I just don’t know until we get a better answer on the MRI. So, that’s where it’s at, man. Um, like I said, we’re going to get into a couple more stories, man. But, um, if this is true, that does suck. However, he said, you know, he talks about being back in time for Wrestlemania season, and Wrestlemania season really starts in like January. So, uh, that’s good. And again, like I said, we’ve heard I I’ve I’ve heard a couple rumors going around. nothing concrete, but I have heard a couple rumors that, you know, this is probably going to bring Rollins about four to five months, which like we were talking on Monday, if that is true at all, we’re probably looking at December or Januaryish for Rollins to be back, which like I said, we’re going to get into the couple other stories we got, but if this is true, uh, it does suck. It does. Um, but there are a couple blessings in disguise here. and Rollins did kind of talk about that himself. Like you obviously have the component of Braun Breaker and Bronson Reed. Those guys are going to be able to get a lot of spotlight um being that, you know, they were pretty much like one of the top acts on Raw. Uh but Rollins was the leader to it. And now that Rollins is gone, it seems like they’re going to keep them still as a top act on Monday Night Raw. Except it’ll be a guy like Braun Breaker who’s going to, you know, have to, you know, be in the situation to have to step up and try to carry that uh workload on. But, um, at least, like I said, man, at least he will be back in time uh to be able to utilize the Money in the Bank briefcase. So, you know, he’s not going to have to relinquish the briefcase or anything like that. and then um he’ll be back in time for Wrestlemania season. So, I’m sure whatever they were planning over the next year and whatever the culmination for it uh going at least the culmination going into next year’s Mania is still going to be able to be fulfilled. So, like I said, uh it obviously is a horrible thing. we never want to hear about, especially a guy like Rollins getting hurt. But, um, at least at the very least, man, he’ll, like I said, he’ll be back in time to, you know, hopefully do whatever was planned, even though some things may have gotten pushed back. Most definitely. Most definitely. Like you like you said it is good that like the worst possible scenario for this looks to be around December January which again completely is able to set him up with Wrestlemania and that’s really what matters here. It will suck that you know it looks like he’ll probably be missing Survivor Series and I’m sure it was going to be his group versus you know Babyface Justice League over there. Um, so I’m ve very interested to see how they like move around him not being a part of, you know, War Games and whatnot. But either way, um, I I I think overall it’s going to be good. It’s going to be nice to be able to get, you know, the other two in the group, Bronson and Braun, as [ __ ] Michael Cole calls him. Um, time to shine on Raw. This episode of Raw. It was really nice to see, you know, Bron Breaker really like show out and shine. And I thought that was really awesome. And they could, you know, always build a story around, you know, taking the spotlight, Seth coming back. Maybe he might feel some type of way. Um, you know, uh, circumstances like this on TV can always be a positive or negative, but a lot of times you can turn negatives into positives with stories. Um, it I’m just sure it sucks for him, man. I’m sure he was ready getting ready for SummerSlam and the Survivor Series season um and really getting to work and now he’s looks like he’ll might be missing out on a lot of that stuff and that sucks. But either way, whether it’s short, whether it’s longer, I think it’s no matter what, it’s a time period that that won’t be too badly hindered by by this injury, man. So, worst case scenario, I think overall everything will be fine, which is good. For sure. for sure, man. So, things get a whole lot more interesting uh with what came out today because according to Mr. Dave, Uncle Dave, he is reporting that multiple people within WWE have reportedly claimed the plan was to do a Seth Rollins injury angle at Saturday night’s main event and have him return at SummerSlam during Gunther versus Punk. That is very interesting. that I was gonna say that that that is very interesting because either Oh, there you are. Okay. Um, you were dead frozen for there. Uh, just a second there. But anyways, this is interesting because obviously this is going to raise a lot of eyebrows because that is a ridiculous coincidence. if that if if he actually is if he actually is injured, the the chances of that happening are are are very very odd. Again, like I said, the plan is to run an injury angle, yet he actually ends up getting injured. So, it’s obviously going to make people think it’s a work. Um, it’s definitely interesting. It definitely adds an an element to it because, you know, the and and a lot of people, you know, were bringing up, you know, what was Rollins plan B, you know, why did he have to leave early to get the plan B or whatever? Um, you know, to to perfect plan B or whatever they were talking about that one week on Monday Night Raw. A lot of people cited that as maybe a reason why, you know, the, you know, he was planning the injury angle. Uh, I I don’t really know why he would have to [ __ ] leave Monday Night Raw to to plan a fake injury angle, but you know, wrestling fans that they’re gonna have their shine. Um, but I I like dude jump off [ __ ] perfect his [ __ ] injury spot. Yeah. I mean, what what do you mean he’s going to Did Did he go Did he go to Did he go to [ __ ] I don’t know. Did he go to an Amazon warehouse to to purchase some crutches and and an e knee brace? I mean, what what what did he have to leave the show early to perfect plan B for? I’ve seen a lot of people citing that as like, oh, you know, uh you know, that could be what he was going to do. You that could be how he perfected plan B. Again, half the time I question if these people think. I don’t really know what exactly they mean by that, but um but again, like I said, this is very interesting because like I said, obviously this is going to make people think this this is a work If, you know, again, if this was the plan, if the plan was to do an injury angle, um, and then he actually ended up getting hurt, that is just that is that is I I could see how that raises eyebrows. I’ll say that. Um, I don’t know, though. I I I don’t know. It really could be. Again, I mean, Rollins, Rollins is a good kind of guy to to run an injury angle with, like I said, because he at the end of the day, we all know Rollins to be somewhat injuryprone. So, like running an injury angle with him is very believable, is very believable. So, I I I mean, I I could see where it raises eyebrows, man. But I mean, we will have to wait to uh to SummerSlam to to really uh to to really see where we’re at, man. But I don’t know. I I will say, man, I I I over I do believe he is injured overall, man. But it is just very it’s it’s it’s a interesting coincidence that that was always the plan. And they very well could be trying to pull a fast one on us, bro. They could, man. They could. There’s a lot of weird moving pieces that goes along with this one. There’s so many scenarios it could be. Maybe he thought he got injured in the match and he wasn’t, and now they’re playing it up. It could be this. There’s a small chance, you know, it could be a plan the whole time. Um, and he could it could be legitimately injured and maybe it’s not as bad as, you know, they might have thought in that moment and they’re going to even play it up even more. So, there’s many ways that this could be taken. Um, I feel like he he at least was injured in that moment or at least, you know, thought he was. And I think, you know, whether he is injured and maybe it’s not going to be as long as they initially thought in that moment or this or that, I think no matter what, they’re taking this opportunity of at least an injury scare at the very least and they’re running with it. And I I think that’s a good thing to do. That’s always cool to do. And I mean, like you said, it worked for Rollins, especially when it comes to like his knees, his legs, all that, which is very interesting because the Monday before, you know, building up to Saturday night’s main event, Punk literally made a knees joke about the guy and at the and at the show, he he injures his [ __ ] leg. Um, so it’s always [ __ ] interesting with that type of [ __ ] man. But they think there’s a chance out of all the things that, you know, wrestling fans said or is a work, I think this could, you know, be the most likely thing. But I feel like there is a real element to it. Uh but I if I’m a if I’m a betting man and I would say a personal guess, I feel like it’s something that happened and they’re just taking that and running with it. And I feel like this is what it overall might be. Um but there’s so many ways that this could be taken and I feel like they’re they’re doing something. I we like said I think we’ll figure it out around SummerSlam time about how legit this might be or not. Dr. Johnny, you’re muted. Whoops. I am so sorry. Uh, okay. My bad. My bad. My bad. I freaking blanked out my camera to freaking blow my nose real quick and I forgot to unmute myself. I am so sorry, guys. Um, okay, back to Okay, my bad. Back to the original story. We got some reporting by Uncle Dave. My bad. My bad. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Um, so he says, uh, he says, uh, Seth Rollins was originally planned to face Roman Reigns at SummerSlam before he suffered his knee injury. Now, like I was saying, um the interesting part comes in because they put out another report that completely contradicted what they reported about the original match being Rollins and Reigns. So, they go on to say the Observer as well, this came out today. Uh they say a proposed card for SummerSlam from nearly 3 weeks ago listed a Roman Reigns versus Braun Breaker match. They also talked about doing a tag match with Reigns and Jay Uso versus Breaker and Reed, which they did set up on Monday Night Raw. Uso and uh Uso versus Reed was also at one point earmarked for a singles match. Based on the plan card, Rollins recent promo on Reigns was a distraction and the direction uh and the breaker direction was always planned. So, they talked about that um again, which a couple days ago they said Rollins and Reigns was the plan. So, got to love Uncle Dave. But um how do you feel about Go ahead. How do you Yeah, this sounds like classic. You know, they they look at television, they read every possible match scenario from all these interactions and they just list every one of those possible things as a possible plan for for the show. I mean, it’s literally the most, you know, for pay, you know, possibly for the show. We could get a tag match or we could get each guy individually singles against each other. Like like no [ __ ] way is that not possible. Um it’s obvious. I think they’re setting up a tag match now. Maybe you know they did plan I if any of those were most likely I could see you know Seth and Roman as you know they have the most personal beef against each other especially postmania for a possible singles match. But, you know, obviously that would have had to have changed. Um, so, you know, I think the rest of those are just obvious possible scenarios that they’re just listing as possibly planned for the show. Um, and I think it’s obvious we are getting that tag match 100%. I I you know I I could have I I could have seen them doing you know Braun versus Roman, but I I I think you know I think the component that really puts you know the the tag match more uh you know more likely to happen is uh is is Jay. I I think they want to get Jay on the show. I think you know they’re going to be a Metife Stadium so they want you know their big crowd shot of everybody eating. I think they want Jay on the show. Obviously, they know he’s very popular and stuff. Um, if Jay wasn’t as popular as he was, per se. Um, I I I do think we would be getting I do think we would be getting Roman versus Braun, but like I said, I think overall it just makes more sense right now. Uh, they to do the tag match. Um, and they said that Rollins promo on Reigns was a distraction. Um, and Breaker was always uh was always planned. Uh, I I don’t know. I I I don’t know how much I believe that because I mean, you expect me to believe that Seth Rollins was going to be sitting out Summerslam and and and be doing what in in Braun Breakers corner? I I I don’t really know how much I believe that. As for the idea of Jay Uso and Bronson Reed, that sounds [ __ ] awful on SummerSlam. That is an absolute That is a Raw Ma. That is a That isn’t even a Raw main event. That’s like a [ __ ] uh top of the second hour Raw match. I mean, what what what is that? I mean, for SummerSlam, for SummerSlam, I guarantee you there’s going to probably be some champion that doesn’t get a match on SummerSlam uh for Jay Uso versus Bronson Reed. I mean, look, I can tell you what champion, Julia. Yeah. Yeah. Either that or or uh who the [ __ ] are the Raw tag team? Judgment Day that they they won’t be on there. The Smackdown tag champs ain’t going to be on there. So, I mean that again for somebody to miss out on a SummerSlam spot because WWE at one point earmarked a Jay Uso and Bronson Reed match. Now look, Jay Uso again, that man absolutely needs somebody to to lead him. And and I love Bronson Reed. I I do. He’s my guy. You all you you guys know me and C. We got history with Bronson Reed. All right. We our history runs deep with the man. But uh I I you know, I I just I I don’t think Bronson Reed is the guy to carry Jay Uso to It took Seth Rollins. I mean, we got to get to that level for Jay Uso to have a good match. All right. So, you know, unless he’s got his brother in his corner, then, you know, then they they can absolutely put on a banger. 100%. But but um again, Bronson Reed and Jay Uso, whoever came up with that idea is a [ __ ] crackhead because I I don’t know what kind of wrestling you want to watch on your SummerSlam, but it ain’t that. So, um, again, as much as I would love a Roman versus Braun Breaker match, uh, if that means we have to get Jay Uso and Bronson Reed, then for now, I I I I will happily just just take the tag match. Um, because yeah, that just No, no, absolutely not for that. Um, but regardless, um, is very interesting to hear. Like I said, the Wrestling Observer kind of contradicted themselves with the whole Rollins thing. Honestly, man, I I believe the the the Rollins if Rollins was not hurt, I I believe Rollins would have got the Reigns match before Breaker did. Um, if anything, I could see, you know, the the the Breaker match being I could maybe see them pulling that out for like a mania. That just doesn’t seem like that seems like a match WWE would want to do at WrestleMania in like a couple of years depending on, you know, how long Roman’s got left um as full-time. But well, if you could even call him that. But um but yeah, I mean yeah, I don’t know, man. Um but but yeah, Jay Uso and Bronson Reed, bro, I man, I I almost fell over when I read that. I I can’t lie to you guys, man. That that just that that absolutely just sounded like that that sounded just haunting. It really did. Yeah, that sounds like an absolute nightmare. Like you said, I could definitely see the Braun versus or Braun, sorry, Michael Cole me, the Braun versus Roman is like maybe their first thought is like the backup match when Seth went down. But I think it was pretty obvious the tag match was right in their face and and that’s what they’re going with. But um you know you know wrestling journalism got to [ __ ] throw out every possible scenario so they’re technically not wrong. Exactly. Exactly. And like you said man it really is a case of you know they they look at what’s going on on television you know they they hear these little things about uh this exactly what happened two weeks ago. Rollins called out Roman or or Heymon called out Roman. I mean, you know, he talked about Roman, you know, don’t got the balls to come back. Immediately they were like, “We’re going to put out a story.” Oh, the plan is Rollins and Reigns at SummerSlam. But then this past week when this past week when uh when uh Paul Heymon called Braun Breaker the big dog, they were like, “Oh, that that was the match they were going to go with.” Because honestly, when they dropped the line about the next big thing, I said to myself, I I I said to myself, I was like, “Oh, I’m sure we’re going to hear in the news WWE has earmarked Brock Lesnar versus Braun Breaker.” I was waiting for it. I’m surprised we didn’t get it. I’m sure we’ll get it soon. or I was just waiting to hear uh WWE thinking about doing Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns, the Ultimate Enemies, having to team up to take down uh I I I was waiting for it, especially when Heymon dropped both the nicknames and he called Braun the next big thing and he called him the big dog. I I I I completely I I was waiting for it and like I said, I ended up being wrong and I’m very shocked by by that because I I fully expected to hear something like that. So, I don’t know. We’ll see how desperate WWE gets. What I was waiting for is the classic [ __ ] uh Dirt Sheets [ __ ] report of, you know, Brock, don’t count out uh an appearance by Brock Lesnar. Don’t count it out. It’s always possible. Um, you know, the classic garbage that are always going to tweet. Again, just in case they can never be wrong, but he could be back. Don’t but you know, it’s not likely, but he could. Um, it’s literally the most we’re trying our hardest not to ever be wrong. So, we’re just gonna [ __ ] just [ __ ] out what every opinion possible in every scenario possible. Reaching Exactly, man. You know, wrestling journalists. So, um, that that’s what I thought when I instantly heard that line, even though I think I said it on on Tuesday, but my instant thought was that of that line was, you know, Braun is my next, you know, uh, Brock per se of my the guy I’m going to advocate for next. Yeah. But, you know, you know, wrestling fans and journalists, it’s all they mentioned a name, that means a match is going to happen. Yeah. So yeah, like you said, I I took it the same way. You know, uh Paul Heymon took Brock Lesnar from the next big thing to the beast. He took Roman Reigns from the big dog to the tribal chief. All I took that as was he was going to take Braun Breaker from, you know, what he was to a [ __ ] superstar. Um and again, Paul Heymon kind of just dipping into his history um a little bit. Um, and I think that’s cool, but you know, a lot of wrestling fans, um, they’ll they’ll immediately go to the, you know, Brock’s coming back, which, you know, I mean, obviously I get dropping a line like that would make one think that, but, again, this is Brock Lesnar and and and WWE, look at what WWE did to Vince McMahon once his name was involved with his lawsuits and Brock Lesnar’s name is attached to that. So, like maybe as much as Triple H would like to fantasy book Brock on there, I just don’t think TKO is is really willing to, you know, take on take on that baggage. Um, you know, just yet. You know what I mean? Maybe if things get a little more clearer for Brock, which it doesn’t really look like it, but it may maybe if things do kind of clear up. If they do, I could see them bringing him back. But then again, if they bring him back, um, it’s it’s it’s it’s complete desperation. And I don’t know why because they have a great roster, but it’s complete desperation for sure. I mean, they’re stealing [ __ ] talent from AEW left and right. I don’t really know what you need Brock Lesnar back for at this point. But I was going to say, you’re you’re drowning in talent. You don’t know what to do with half of them. Um, you’re starting to AEW some of your guys and you’re just [ __ ] just benching them. even though, you know, WWE doesn’t bench people, by the way, but um you’re obviously [ __ ] benching people. Um and it it’s would you, like you said, it’d be a pure act of just sad desperation to call that [ __ ] guy in. You got a guy I can’t believe I’m even saying this. You got a guy like Drew McIntyre who we heard last year that there, you know, I always mention it, but he was going to be a huge focus in 2025. He was going to have a career year in 2025. Remember the story that WWE wanted to make him one of their big draws alongside a Roman Reigns or a Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodess as faces of the company type of guy? Let me ask you a question. Would you put Roman Reigns in a [ __ ] match with Logan Paul against Jelly Roll and Randy Orton? No. So why are you doing it to Drew? Oh, WWE. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t understand. So, uh yeah. I mean, that is uh so that’s the news on Rollins’s injury. That’s the news on the SummerSlam plans for uh for Rollins and for uh his group Rollins and company um the Seth Riders. So, yeah. Um that is that and we actually have you know going back to the Roman and and Braun match how I envision Roman’s next two Wrestlemania going if I’m being honest because I think he said he’s got two more left assuming uh two more left as fulltime assuming you know that you know who is not going to come back because I’m just I’m I’m tired of it. Um I would assume we will be getting a breaker match and a match against Jacob Fatu. I would assume. Um, now again, that’s not taking into account rock because I’m I’m I’m at this point we just cannot take it. Yeah, I was going to say, yeah, he’ll he’ll come back and, you know, or Yeah, he he’ll come back and and he’ll tease, you know, sitting at the head of the table just to, you know, never [ __ ] show up ever again. Um, so again, I’m I’m not I’m not going to take that into account, but assuming Rock doesn’t come back. And even if they do the Rock and Roman match, I could very well see that being when Roman is like part-time and there’s going to be a year down the line where it clears up and they both just say, “Hey, I’m not filming a movie right now. Are you?” No, I’m not. Hey, you want to [ __ ] hit up Paul and see if he’ll let us [ __ ] fight at Wrestlemania and then they’ll do it then. That is honestly how I see that going. But as for as for this being full-time uh or his last two full-time Wrestlemania seasons, like I said, if you can even call it that, um I I I see Breaker and Fatu. I I think those are uh actually we have a story on that. So, um I could see those being being the match for being the matches for him. Yeah, Breaker very well may be the Mania match this upcoming year. shocked. I really wouldn’t be shocked. Um, so speaking of Jacob Fatu, according to wrestle votes, WWE’s Jacob Fatu’s rise as a top tier baby face is underway within WWE. WWE are ready to evaluate his profile not just onscreen but through heavy heavy promotion and public appearances. It is expected Fatu will have exclusive city themed merch coming soon. Well, they got the US title off of him and um I think uh I I do eventually think that you know he will um you know probably end up losing the feud to Solo. Uh probably just by numbers uh which is good. It’s a good way to keep him strong yet also keep Solo looking strong. So, I I think you they found a good a good medium with like, you know, Jacob just being completely outnumbered. Um, but as for his rise as a top baby face, we all knew it was coming. It’s just a matter, it’s not a matter of if really, it’s a matter of when. When is WWE going to finally decide or when are they going to decide that, you know, creative uh creatively things have cleared up enough for them to really give Jacob the ball and let him run with it. And um I think that time is coming soon. I could very well see 2026 um or Mania 2027 uh being, you know, the time when he actually, you know, gets his hands on like a world championship. I think it’s coming soon. I’m glad they think of him that way. Um he’s up there with, you know, Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns for my favorite active male competitors on the roster right now. um of just guys I think I’ll just put out the most solid work is probably Fatu, Sammy, um Roman and Punk probably. Uh LA’s Yeah, LA’s up there for me as well. Um but uh again, like I said, I know he’s one of my favorites. I know he’s a lot of your guy some of a lot of your guys favorites as well. Um, yeah. My only thing my only thing I think they need to work on Fatu with is is the constant catchphrasing. Um, that’s literally the only thing which is such an easy problem to fix, which he’s even the past couple weeks been doing better at. I will say they they’ve been a lot better uh with with you know just having him just kind of say his catchphrases at the end you know similar to how LA Knight does but just you know for a while it just seemed like that was any promo he can cut but and again we know he can talk so I know it’s it’s not even really a problem it’s just is WWE going to allow him to do that. You know what I mean? So it’s not it’s not a problem of his um at all. But no I know he’s ready. We all know he’s ready and and he he’s he’s he’s right now, man. He’s he’s he’s really just doing the due diligence of of of just, you know, being in this feud with Solo and and actually, you know, doing a, you know, putting together a a decent story rather than just shooting him up to the main event scene that they’re trying to get him there organically, which I I can absolutely appreciate. Uh, that was a problem in the Vince era all the time was people would just if he wanted you there then you were overnight there. Look at [ __ ] Jinder Mahal. So that was a huge problem in the Vince era. But Herwood Jacob, like I said, you know, he’s worked his way up. He’s worked his way up through being a heavy, you know what I mean? Being a muscle, then, you know, kind of off on his own doing, you know, just single stuff. end of the US title, you know, now now he’s in, you know, an an actual storyline with Solo Sakoa. So, it’s been organic. I can appreciate it. And I we all know he’s going to be there. Like I said, it’s it is not a matter of if he will make it to the main event scene. Um it’s it’s a matter of when. Exactly. Exactly. It is a matter of when. and and you know, Jacob Fatu, you know, in terms of, you know, the way the company sees them, I don’t see, you know, a kind of LA night scenario where they say they’re going to use them, but they’re really not. Um, I really give it I really do see it as they are just genuinely want to take their time and have him eventually in like a year time be at that top level in that top spot doing top [ __ ] And I could definitely see that. I mean, the man’s great. Um, he’s great on the mic, great in the ring, great in programs, I think. And I think this solo program is really what they’re what they’re, you know, working for. I think he’s going to put over solo and then he’s going to slowly make his way up the card. And I like it, man. I like it. Like you said, you know, the catchphrase thing, it can be a problem. That’s a that’s more of a common WWE problem in general. Flanderization is a big problem that WWE puts on their own people. I mean, there was a few there was literally that one instance. I’m glad they instantly stopped that where they had Bronn Breaker [ __ ] bark at someone backstage. Um, so, you know, it’s a very common problem in WWE, but I’m very glad um they seem to kind of be deterring wave for, you know, not only Breaker, but um, Jacob Faw too, man. So, I hope they keep that up to that steam. And I think he’s been doing really good. And I think the future is does genuinely hold bright for Jacob Fu. And I hope so. I think he’ll definitely fit well up there with with those top guys. Bro, every every time that every time Braun Breaker barking is mentioned, I I think about that [ __ ] edit that was made where it’s like Rollins and Breaker and they’re backstage and somebody edited in somebody edited in a [ __ ] doorbell and as soon as the doorbell goes off, Broadb Breaker just starts Bro, that [ __ ] I had the [ __ ] ring doorbell time, bro. That’s what it was, bro. That’s what it was. It was the [ __ ] it was that doorbell, dude. And immediately just And he just And he just walks off. It Oh, man. I’ll have to find it and send it to you, bro. That [ __ ] Oh my god. Every time I think of him [ __ ] barking, I think of that video, bro. But um but yeah, so speaking of um speaking of Jacob Vatu, he’s actually got some uh he’s actually got some running buddies. Right. He has him and his group and company, all the things they say. Does he does have he does have some company for uh who WWE views as the next top stars for the company. So, according to the Observer, WWE reportedly has plans to position Ria Ripley, Jacob Fatu, and Braun Breaker as the next top stars for the company. I thought I kind of always assumed for the past like two years that Ria kind of been solidified in that spot. But, you know, it’s good that they to me still think of her because I think she’s kind of already there in terms of, you know, scale. She’s probably the most famous women’s wrestler in the modern era. Oh, 100%. That that that was the one name that was interesting to me where I was like, she’s already been women’s champion like multiple times over. Like, what what do you mean you’re going to position her as the next top star? like she like with WWE like you know well honestly man I really wouldn’t count her Vince Reigns those were horrible but like when Triple the first time Triple H put the title on her the first time Triple H put the title on her that to me was like the solidifier of like okay you know now when you lose the title this is really the telling point of whether Triple H is going to really ride with you or or or if he’s going to kind of, you know, brush you to the side. And with Ria has been solidified once she dropped that championship and she went out, you know what I mean? It was like that was really the tell all like, okay, is Triple H did Triple H see you as like, okay, you were popular now, now you’re not really as big of a star as you used to be, or okay, you’re coming back and like this is a big deal because you’re one of our top stars. And obviously he brought her back as the second option as okay, we’re bringing you back in a top spot because you’re one of our top stars. Like I said with Triple H, that’s really the tell all. When somebody drops their championship, when he puts you in that spot and you drop the championship, if he continues to look at you as a as a an upper echelon, you know, type of talent, you will know it. Um, otherwise you will kind of, you know, just kind of get swept under the rug and we’ll kind of forget about you because I gave you this run. You didn’t really perform the way I thought. Look at like Nakamura. Um, and now we’re just going to kind of brush you away cuz it didn’t really work out and I don’t really care to use you anymore. Um, like I said with Ria, it’s been solidified for a long time. Like I said, she’s um WWE should if we’re talking about the future of the women’s division, um WWE uh Tiffany Stratton, I mean, the the the girl is 25 years old, bro. I mean, that’s you know, so you obviously got to look at her. She’s going to be around for like the next 15 years. Um and she’s going to be an OG in that division. You should be looking at like Soul Ruka. Um as you know, um um who else? Uh Mariah May is obviously another one. Stephanie Vakur, those are like to me those are the names that should be positioned to be the next top stars. I think Ria is there. Like I said, Ria is like of the 2020s decade. She’s like the star of the women’s division. Um at least one of. So to me, Ria was already there. But Braun and and Fatu, like I said, they haven’t won their first world title yet, and I’m sure it’s coming soon. So, um, I could I could very, you know, that’s obviously believable. I think, which is interesting because a while ago, you know, we heard that WWE’s main focuses for the future were Gunther and Solo Sakoa. Um, so it’s interesting to see that Solo’s name is not mentioned. Again, Gunther is a world champion, so I could see him already kind of being there. not, you know, again, Gunther is not the draw to the level that like a Roman Reigns is, but he’s one of their top guys. He’s one of their workhorse guys. He’s kind of like the Bret Hart of this era. Um, so like I said, just the Brett fans love him. Yes, exactly. He he cater like Exactly. He caters to, you know what I mean? Like like how a lot of people look at like Brettheart, like I said, like people just Yeah. PE people people just they they look at him and and they just like they they admire his his like that he’s a workhorse, right? That that’s kind of the spot Gunther’s in. Uh but it’s interesting Solo’s name isn’t isn’t not mentioned there. Um but even at that, man, I I still do really think that that that they really like Solo. Um and I feel he will one day make that main event. Uh I think Fatu will get there before him now. Um but but I think he will be there for sure. Most definitely, man. Most definitely. And Bel mentions that she’s very true. People need to stop underrating Ripley as a wrestler. You were saying, you know, you had you saw her solidified, you know, when when Triple H gave her, you know, when that one, you know, title reign all, bro. Um, Charlotte is mass. Banger match, by the way. I’m sorry, bro. Banger match. Banger match. Oh, no. You’re good. Um, another thing that always solidifies people is how much fans complain about them being in top spots. Um, that’s always the solidification that someone is a top star is when people complain anytime they might even have a chance for a title shot. That’s how you know someone’s a top star is when fans just [ __ ] needlessly complain about how much we see that person. Um, is great as a wrestler. There’s a reason she’s at the top spot she is. Yep. Um, every m every major match she’s in is an absolute banger. And I mean, it’s [ __ ] obvious, bro. Look, again, like you said, run run the tape back, bro. You look at Wrestlemania 39. That was one of the best women’s matches in company history. In my opinion, that was a [ __ ] amazing match with Charlotte. Um, fast forward one year, she faces another goat of the division, Becky. Well, Charlotte’s not a go to the division in my honest opinion. She’s a goat in WWE’se’s eyes, but she faces Becky. Banger [ __ ] match. And then um uh what was it? Uh this past earlier this year on Monday Night Raw, she had a great match with Eio Sky. Uh Wrestlemania, she had one of the matches of the weekend. People look at those two triple threats so fondly as the best part about Wrestlemania. Some people would put Ria, Eio Io, and Bianca over Punk Romans and Rollins. I would probably say the the the Punk Roman and Rollins one over for me, but it’s not it’s it’s not they’re not far off. Um, so you look at that. Uh, and then um and then at Evolution like it it really it really does boggle my mind and like Sir, she is in that position for a reason and it really really boggles my mind. sometimes how how people sleep on on Ria Ripley in the ring bro like it doesn’t it doesn’t again bro just because somebody’s not Will Osprey doesn’t mean they’re bad in the ring you know what I mean I mean it’s just it’s an it is a again just because Ria Ripley is not out there doing [ __ ] handspring huracan ranas and she’s not [ __ ] moving around like Bandido it doesn’t mean she’s not a bad wrestler bro I mean again look at a track record, bro. I It No, I I I get that, though. And and and pe people do piss me off with that for sure. I I don’t know h how how so many pe a lot of people sleep on Ria as as as a as a wrestler, man. And it it it’s crazy work. It’s crazy work. I always call it personally for me the LA night effect. They think like if to to wrestling fans, you know, it’s always debate of, you know, promo and like character versus wrestling. For wrestling fans, they think if you have one, you cannot have the other or you don’t. And I always see LA Knight as like one of the best examples of that. You know, LA Knight’s greater than Mike. He has a, you know, one of the big catchphrases. So, people automatically assume he can’t wrestle when he’s one of their most constant [ __ ] match of the night guys they have. And they do the same thing with Ria. They think just cuz you have character and like a catchphrase or a thing that you are automatically like some bad wrestler. Um and that is not the case at all. It’s like man it is uh man don’t even get me started on LA night bro. No, it it it is. It’s like it’s like people look at like people look at like like Jay Uso for example and and they think like everybody’s like that which even Jay in himself um half the time I think he’s just being lazy. He’s not a bad he you cannot tell me Jay Uso is a flatout bad wrestler. I just think he kind of gotten his formula and he kind of just doesn’t like to go outside of that. He he Yeah, that that’s what I think it is. That’s what I I I think it is with Jay, but like people automatically assume like, oh, you have a catchphrase, you know, D or like people always try to people always try they try to do that a lot with Bobby Roode as well. Remember when people try to say he was like a bad wrestler like dude just because some just because somebody is more character driven does not mean they’re a bad wrestler. But LA Knight is another one man. is like clearly you’re not [ __ ] watching the guy’s matches cuz another highlight from Wrestlemania was his match against Jacob Fatu. So I I don’t and and and two with with LA bro every time this dude is on pay-per-view he has one of the best matches on the card. So I I do not understand it. He can work his ass off, bro. He’s a very good wrestler. So I don’t get it, man. I don’t [ __ ] get it. wrestling fans. Yeah, fails. Bel got me started, bro. God damn. Um, I’m glad Charlotte is out of the title picture, too. I’ve actually been liking what her and Alexa Bliss have been doing. It’s low-key and it’s like it’s it’s a fun story. Like, it’s it’s a fun story of like two people that hated that hate each other, but they’re trying to like in a weird way push each other to be better. It It’s a simple enough story, and it keeps Charlotte out of the [ __ ] title picture. Exactly, dude. Exactly. It’s It’s an actual good version of the can they coexist story because they make it fun. Yeah, definitely. So, yes, that’s the thing. Jay, again, to say that Jay is bad, you can’t tell me Jay is bad. To me, Jay is just I I think Jay got so great in the habit of being a tag team wrestler. It might be too much of an adjustment to do singles. It might be. Yeah, he he he does his singles matches like he’s a tag team guy. There there’s instances where in the match where it’s like, okay, this is where, you know, Jimmy would come in and fill the gap in this match. Exactly. And and he and and instead he he’s [ __ ] sitting there looking into the crowd like he’s got three [ __ ] heads. Exactly. That is where the hot tag would have been is right in those moments where he’s looking around for the [ __ ] at the crowd, man. So he’s a tag team guy in singles matches. But again, he’s not [ __ ] horrible. He’s he’s just they’re all the same and it’s just that start and stop [ __ ] that we always talk about in those matches. German suplex. Look uppercut. Look, uppercut look like I mean it is it is uh it it is something bro. But um speaking of uh Fatu uh according to wrestle votes, the current plan for SummerSlam is blood versus blood. Jacob Fatu versus Solo Sakoa inside a steel cage. They got it when they make the graphic. They got to make it blood. B L O O D versus B L U D. You got to do it like that. There’s no other way. I I would have never guessed this is blood versus blood. I I thought this was blood versus [ __ ] That’s That’s what I thought. Exactly. I I would have never thought. Um WWE and their [ __ ] taglines, dude. That is uh that that is hilarious. Blood versus blood. Bl o versus blud. Make it happen, please. I got to do it like that, dude. There’s no other way. I won’t take I won’t take the other way around and and send sir his check afterwards. So, but but as long as long as we get the graphing, we need we both need our check from Tony Khan and Triple H, respectively. We should be [ __ ] dead rich right now from the checks where they [ __ ] owe us, man. But, um, you know, I predicted months in advance. I gave Tony Khan the idea, you know what would be a great idea? We need to link up Bandido and Brody King. And he did it. He listened to my advice. Oh yeah, Brody King. Banger group. Banger homies. All the advice he’d [ __ ] listen to [ __ ] those two [ __ ] friends for some reason. Who told him that? Like was it did he just happen to like make the match one night and he’s like, “You know what? I [ __ ] love these two together, man. Let’s Let’s make this a thing. That I actually That’s probably the That’s probably what happened actually. No, that’s the most Tony Khan thing ever. Oh man, that dude. Um so yeah, Jacob Fatu solo blood versus blood inside of a steel cage. So um they’re going to keep everyone out. Meanwhile, it is uh it is um going to be filled with interferences. So, you know how that whole thing goes. You know, it’s going to be the classic WWE main event Bloodline Rules match. Every [ __ ] pay-per-view ever since Bloodline Rules, every steel cage match, they say, “We’re going to keep everyone out.” And then the commentators act like they’ve never seen someone climb a cage before and they’re like, “Oh my god, JC the nerd. He’s climbing the cage.” And they’re going to act all shocked and they’re be like, “Oh my god, Tongalo is opening the door.” As if they’ve never seen anybody open a [ __ ] steel cage door before. So you already you already know. Yeah. He thinks Scholastic Book Fair behind the cage. He’s climbing it. JC Fire Hydrant. He He’s climbing the cage. I mean, you know how it Yeah, we basically just booked that whole match in per verbatim. Well, you’re going to have to teach me how a east north or southeast London accent sounds. I need to know how you guys say blood. [Laughter] That was horrible. Blood. I can’t do it either. You just [ __ ] did the same thing. What do you mean it’s horrible? Your your was horrible. Yours was horrible. So both of ours are fire. But I always I got fire blood for London for British accents. Okay. I always see [ __ ] British people talk about like the differences in British accent and obviously as American I can never actually hear the difference. So, it’s always so funny to me. Yeah. It’s It’s always interesting when people when people say like I I like I or like you know somebody that I know has like a Chicago accent because I just don’t Yeah. I don’t I don’t I don’t get it. It’s just Yeah, exactly. Me like that’s not like an accent. But then I’ll hear someone like you ever heard like a [ __ ] from Baltimore talk. I was like, “Okay, yeah, that’s completely separate human being.” Yeah. But like I don’t know. Athletes are funny. Yeah. It it I wouldn’t understand it. I wouldn’t understand it, Bel. But I definitely understand where you’re coming from because you could definitely tell, like you said, people from Baltimore, people from New York, people from Memphis, people from California, you know, people from Oregon, like, you know, people just there there’s a lot of different accents over here. Even in even in the state of Illinois, you can tell that the accents from, you know, people from Cana Key, people from downstate Illinois, like people from, you know, I mean, it it’s you there’s a bit of a difference. Like, you got to be from there to, you know, really really know it. So, I get that for sure. But anyways, uh speaking of speaking of uh a guy we just mentioned and uh that being Gunther. We just mentioned Gunther. We talked about how he uh we talked about how he is uh kind of perceived by WWE and this is a huge proponent if this is true. Um, if if if did I just did I do a King’s English accent? Man, I’m [ __ ] good, dude. I would prefer that over any accent. King accent. Bel, what kind of accent do you have? I need Are you Are you Are you East Side? Are you Southside? Is Bel is Belle Southsider? We in Chicago terms, we are southsiders. Are we? We are. I think Belle might be a southsider. I think so. I get that vibe. Either that or east. I don’t know why I’m thinking east. Belle could be from the east side, bro. There’s no way Belle’s from the west side. No. No. There’s no way. I I think it’s either south or east. So So anyways, Jesus. So back to Gunther. Where? Well, we know where Sir K’s from. Uh well, if if if I I I know where Sir K’s from, but I know where Sir K wants to be. Okay. He wants to be on the he wants to be on the northwest side. Okay, we know that. So, um you guys are stupid, dude. You’re posh, bro. Dude, I’m Am I Dude, I’m [ __ ] posh, bro. I might be posh. I like I like it. You’re posh, bro. I’m English posh. Hey, we already know though. We We already know. Bel Belle knows cuz she she’s re she’s repping Eastside, bro. But anyways, see Oh my god, we were both right. She’s Oh man, look at that. She has a cocky accent. Is that like more of a street accent? All right. I see. See, even Belle. Okay. Or if I’m taking my context clues here, Belle spells blood B L U D. She’s from the southeast side. Think I think Bel might be from the the streets of London. I I will look up a cochney accent. I need to hear what this sounds like. And so anyways anyways, let’s [ __ ] get on with the wrestling news here. Um so according to um Oh, like I was saying, man, Gunther, if this is true, this is huge. Like legit, this is huge for the man’s career because according to WRKD wrestling, Gunther is currently planned as John Cena’s final opponent. Now again, this is WRKD Wrestling, so take it with a grain of salt. We’ve done a couple of their stories before. Um, and again, take it take it with a grain of salt, but bro, how do you feel about this? How do you legit, bro? How do you feel about this? And and is this something that you would uh you would be wanting to see? And and um how the hell do you think we get here? Very interesting, man. because you know I I I always said you know Punk was my you know pick for you know to retire Cena if it’s not a guy from his era and it is you know one of these modern quote new guys um Gunther probably would have been my top pick anyway so I actually really like the sound of that man um how he there is very interesting because they both have world championship matches at SummerSlam they both could you know be world champion post SummerSlam they both could not One of them could be, the other couldn’t be. There’s literally like five different scenarios post SummerSlam that they could be. Um, so maybe it’s for one guy’s belt, maybe it’s for other, maybe it’s for not a belt. [ __ ] million scenarios at that, man. But I would love it. I’d be down for that. That’d be a great look for Gunther. I would assume at that point that that will mean to me that John Cena would turn back baby face post SummerSlam and it would be a heel Gunther um facing him. And I love the I I [ __ ] love the sound of that. I’m I’m down for that very much. I think that’ll be really good. If it’s it for me, it’s either, you know, if it’s an older guy in his era, it would be Punk. If it’s more of a modern guy in this modern era, it probably would have been Gunther as my top pick, man. So, I I I actually really love that. Um I hope that’s true, man. I hope that’s true. But but what about you, man? What do you think about that? Absolutely, dude. I I I I I think this is great. I’m on the same page as you, man. This was obviously one of the big matches that I think a lot of people wanted to see. I wanted to see this for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania um originally before anything happened with John Cena. I’m talking 2024 Money in the Bank when he announced that retirement tour. Um I I was I was all in for for John Cena winning the Royal Rumble, going on to challenge Gunther at WrestleMania. Um I think that would have been great. However, it’s not how things worked out. Um, and so far, personally, I have been happy with the heel run and I am excited to hear about this because like you said, this can really only mean John Cena is going to turn back baby face and I like the sound of that and I like the sound of seeing where this whole story goes, man. So, the only thing that kind of sucks with that is it kind of leads me to believe that Cody is going to take the championship back. Um, which I’m, you know, I I can rather do without another Cody Re, but I I will I I I I just think he should have dropped it to to somebody different. But, um, if he’s healed, I’ll be more sub I I’ll be more okay with it because it’ll be something different. The thing is though, I feel they may keep him as a baby face because I feel because they’ve been teasing this whole feud with Drew McIntyre and Drew saying he wants to take the title from Cody. I could see that being the Mania match unless WWE wants to fasttrack it and put um they’re going to need that if they want to fast track it, they would do it in the fall. But then again, I could see like Drew teaming with, you know, Rollins’s group if they want, you know, being that Rollins won’t be there anymore if they want uh with the Seth Riders if they want to establish some sort of team for War Games. I could see Drew doing that um against, you know, like Cody, Cena, Punk, and a Roman and a group of, you know, the Babyface Justice League, like you said. Um, I could very well see that and I could, you know, obviously we we would love the idea of the double turn. WWE that’s too risky for them. I feel they would want to I feel like they will just go with the plain old, you know, Cody wins as a baby face, John Cena finally has the moment of realization and, you know, you know, wants to, you know, it’ll be temple safe. Um, but the good thing that would come out of that, obviously, like we said, is Gunther is going to um Gunther’s going to be his final opponent. And I really like the sound of that. I think that feud’s going to be amazing. I think Gunther is going to slaughter John Cena on the mic. Um, but the best part about that is, you know, John is going to slaughter him right back and it is going to be some great [ __ ] [ __ ] on the mic. Like I said, both of these guys can go toe-to-toe on the microphone. John Cena’s very um you know, John Cena’s approach to a to a promo and Gunther’s approach to a promo I think is gonna mix very very well and and I think it’s going to be great. And I and I really really really hope um I really hope this is the way they go, man. I really hope this is the way they go. And I think that’s an amazing last match for Jon. I was scared they were going to if they do the Crown Jewel title stuff again, I was scared we were going to get this in a dumbass champion versus champion match. But Gunther being the guy to to do that uh to to do the honor of of of having John’s last match, man, that’s that’s [ __ ] awesome if you ask me. I I think that’s great, man. But somebody will be losing their championship at SummerSlam and it’ll probably be John. Yeah, if I’m a bidding man, it would be if if if Seth because there, you know, maybe Seth it will be fine for SummerSlam. I could see him costing Punk. I could still see Roman costing Punk in some some type of way. Man, there’s so many scenarios where I don’t think um CM Punk walks out of SummerSlam as champion. And um I think there’s so many scenarios where I could see them having Cody walk out as champion. So I I think Cody’s the most likely winner out of those two world title matches. I think so. I think so, man. So yeah, that is um that is the news for Gunther and Cena. As for Gunther, according to PW Insider, Gunther’s SummerSlam plans were already set in stone prior to WWE’se’s Saturday night’s main event show, Gunther storyline for SummerSlam will begin this Monday on Monday Night Raw. So, obviously, we seen the gauntlet match, CM Punk. So, obviously, you know, I think this came out Sunday or whatever. Um, but so it looks like they had his SummerSlam plan set in stone for a while, which which is good, man. Which is good cuz again, like the like we always talk about with the first title reign for Gunther, that [ __ ] just seemed like the most we want to do a big name, but yeah, we’ll just [ __ ] around and [ __ ] play it safe with Damian [ __ ] Priest because it’s it’s fall and who really cares? which made uh which made the world title program uh last fall [ __ ] abysmal on Monday Night Raw to be honest. [ __ ] it, man. Oh, that was a rough that that was a rough [ __ ] title reign, man. But um for both [ __ ] from from Priest and Gunther, they transition was just [ __ ] rough, dude. But um yeah, man. It’s good. It’s good that they had this plan. And I think it’s an obvious plan to have. Everybody has wanted that. You know, you know, a lot of people want a lot of matches with Gunther. Punk is also one of those matches. So, I’m glad we’re getting it. I don’t know if they’re ever going to do it, but I would love to see Gunther in there with like Roman, those kind of guys, man. That’d be so fired, dude. They would. So, Gunther, like we just talked about, man, he he might have a he might have a big year. He might have a he might have a final five months. He might have a big final five months of this year, man, because um he might get to retire two men in one year. The first we just saw it being Goldberg. Let’s talk a little bit about Goldberg, man. Hopefully, this is the [ __ ] last time we have to talk about Goldberg, to be honest. Um, according to the Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg says he is pissed off with the way he retired. He says, “Let’s just say I’m pissed off the way I went out. I put so much into it and I don’t feel as though the effort was reciprocated to put a stamp on what I’ve accomplished.” Again, I’m not going to say that I’m not ecstatic with the opportunity that I got. I think I could have done it all a little I think I it could have been done a little differently. That’s all. He says 20 freaking seconds with the microphone in my hand. For God’s sakes, every ultimate rib, right? I’m not saying it was done on purpose by any stretch of the imagination. I’m saying that it was not prepared for on what. So that’s all. They wouldn’t do that to take her, right? I don’t think so. They’re not going to do that to Cena. Cena’s going around. Cena’s going all around the world doing his retirement tour. M a World Heavyweight Championship match. Uh I think let me see. Oh okay. And he also goes on to say I was I thought I had one more. Um also goes on to say he is retired in principle. Oh okay. I think Hello. Okay. I think we’re bouncing back. Okay. Kind of. Am I back? Okay, there you are. Okay, and the last thing a day from I know, dude. What is going on today? So, Okay. Good god. Okay, I think we’re back. I apologize for that. Um, okay. The last thing about Bill Goldberg we had to go over, he says he is retired in principle. He says, “I can’t say I’m truly retired in principle. Yeah, I’m done, but I worked my ass off for five months. Don’t know if I want to kickstart that again and say, guess what? I didn’t retire. I want to go one more time.” He says, “You don’t plan stuff like that. In a world of professional wrestling, I guess you’re not retired until you’re dead.” in principle. Yeah, I’m retired. Wrestlers, they just can’t help themselves. They have to just show up and and relive their glory days. Um, oh, good old Bill Goldberg. Uh to me, Bill is mad about having the microphone for 20 seconds. He didn’t get his full retirement speech, which I think WWE even uploaded on YouTube because they have hard cut offs that they need to, you know, get to for for NBC. It’s like a hard cut off at nine o’clock. So yeah, they thude this guy, man. This guy just he he can’t help himself, man. He he he cannot help himself but to to to [ __ ] about absolutely anything. He [ __ ] about Asuka taking his undefeated streak. There there there was I don’t even think there was any mention in this entire interview Gunther carrying him to his [ __ ] last retirement or his last match retirement match. There was no mention of anything. All it is about Goldberg, Goldberg, Goldberg, which look, it is your retirement and yeah, I mean, I I get you wanted to end it, you know, nicely, but again, it’s it’s also it is also WWE’s fault that, you know, they um they put, I guess, enough matches on the show to really take up all the time and didn’t really get to give the man the the the time a Okay. Um, but at the end of the day, I don’t really think WWE wanted I don’t really think WWE really wanted to do all this [ __ ] anyway. I I I honestly think I honestly think this was a I honestly think that this was some sort of combat to what AEW had going on for the weekend. and and they wanted to, like I said, they wanted to to compete with AEW and they wanted to throw Goldberg out there in in some type of in in some type of way to to maybe try to help them out a little bit uh in the ratings, but um but oh, it was the most obvious, you know, Goldberg’s been talking to us about a retirement tour. We want to counterprogram this. Boom. Let’s let’s do it. Yes. I I I really I really feel that that is uh that that is all they kind of used it for. Um I mean was was it was it shitty of them was it shitty of them to to do him like that for his retirement speech? Uh sure. But at the end of the day, like I said, I don’t think it’s something they wanted to do anyway. Um I I think he should be lucky he even Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. I get to an extent why, you know, he’s upset. You know, that is his retirement, but to the fans, we at the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter to most of us. Um, it does suck. You know, his speech got cut off. Um, I would think WWE was still filming anyway and could have just dropped the rest of the footage on on Raw and called it a day. I think they did. They did that on, but but yeah, exactly. So, it exists out there. Yeah. So, it is what it is, man. I get, you know, get, you know, why he’s upset to him, but to most other people, people just want him gone anyway. So, so so deuces, man. Honestly. Honestly, man. So, yeah. I mean, it is what it is. Lol. Goldberg’s bitching about something. Um, yeah. I mean, I I I I don’t know. Maybe all your Maybe all your selfishness uh caught up to you, man. May maybe that’s what we like to call karma. So too bad. Exactly. Too bad, Bill. Well, speaking of too bad, because of Bill, according to referee Charles Robinson on Instagram, he confirmed that he suffered cracked ribs due to Goldberg spear at Saturday night’s main event. had to injure somebody. Isn’t that just poetic? Goldberg’s last match dude had to [ __ ] include an injury. A legit injury. Never change. Goldberg never change. Man can’t help him. Man can’t help himself. No, he cannot. No, he cannot, man. So, hope Ref. Charles gets uh get gets healed up soon, man. And and he’s back doing his thing sooner rather than later. But what do you know? Goldberg’s last match included him shoot injuring somebody. Uh a referee. My god. So, yeah. Gotta love gotta love Goldberg, man. Gotta love Goldberg. Um yeah, hopefully he’s gone. Hopefully he’s gone for good. And again, um, again, I could see why he’s mad, but most wrestling fans didn’t really care to see the guy anyway. So, good riddance. Um, so, and I mean, honestly, man, you you’re you’re hung up about you’re so hung up about this retirement match. Look at all the [ __ ] things you’ve done that most active members of the roster have not even done, bro. You are a two-time Universal Champion. You beat you pinned Kevin Owens clean to win the championship. You were the first uh member of the roster to beat The Fiend. Literally, you you had Wrestlemania matches up the ass. You got paid out the ass to go to Saudi Arabia and wrestle these nostalgic [ __ ] matches. Um all the things you’re Holy [ __ ] internet everybody. Jesus Christ. Lord. Okay, I apologize again for the [ __ ] Wi-Fi huddle or hurdle that we need to [ __ ] constantly jump over. However, we are back. Back to what I was saying just to wrap up the Goldberg stuff. Um, you know, I he has his reasons to be upset or whatever. Um, honestly, bro, I I really think he should uh just maybe look into being more uh appreciative of things around him, man. Most people do not get a retirement match. Most people don’t even [ __ ] know when their last match is going to happen. Um, look at [ __ ] Adam Cole, a guy we’re going to talk about very shortly here. Um, for a long time, Brian, Edge, all these type of guys, Brett Hart, um, I know, uh, that’s more of Bill’s fault, but, um, most most most people don’t know when their ma when their last match is going to be, man. So, um, you know, again, he should maybe, uh, look into be being a little bit more appreciative of, uh, the the the things that he is fortunate enough to do. Um, like I said, this guy beat Kevin Owens. uh a young star at the time, young Universal Champion Kevin Owens. Beat him for the Universal title. He was the first [ __ ] guy to beat The Fiend again. He should be a little more appreciative and just learn learn when it’s time to just shut up. Exactly, man. Exactly. So with that, we got some news on Travis Scott. We got some news on Travis Scott. According to wrestle votes regarding Travis Scott in WWE, Scott was said to be not a quick learner of the business, which is probably a big reason why we have not seen him since Wrestlemania. Um, honestly, man, I I I I hope that he uh I hope he continues to to uh not learn very fast. Um because after the whole Mania debacle, I I I I personally don’t really care to see him. No, most definitely. I And look at look at what happened in Mania, how uncoordinated he his spot that he was involved in was. He He’s not built for this, man. I think it’s I think they learned that. I think so. So, next time, don’t let The Rock bring whoever the [ __ ] he pleases in into the building, please. somebody tell him no. But yeah, so that is that Travis Scott. That is probably the reason we have not seen him. So yeah, um speaking of some SummerSlam um some SummerSlam news and celebrity news, according to Fightful, Cardi B is still set to host SummerSlam in August. WWE have been making plans for the event with her in mind. Um, I sort of figured so. Um, we have not seen her, which is a good thing. I’m glad she’ll probably rather just be hosting the show rather than having a storyline with her beefing with somebody going into the show. Um, and I think we heard not too long ago that Triple H actually really enjoys working with Cardi B. So, we’ll see how it goes. Hopefully it ends up being okay. And yeah, hopefully all all is well. And it’s just um, again, simply just her hosting the show, not her uh, you know, making long-term plans to be involved with, you know, deeprooted storylines going into next year’s Wrestlemania. Um, hopefully not. Exactly. Hopefully they keep it simple, make her the host of of the pay-per-view and keep it at that. Yeah. Hopefully they do not pull a um hopefully they do not pull a Travis Scott like we just talked about and try to uh involved the man with John Cena’s [ __ ] heel turn. So yeah, that’s the news. It looks like Cardi B is uh still locked in for SummerSlam and she will still be hosting the event. Speaking of somebody who uh hasn’t been hosting anything as of late, as he has not been hosting his way to the ring uh at all. I can’t even remember the last time we’ve seen the guy on WWE. Maybe SummerSlam of 2023, that Slim Gym Battle Royal, maybe. Yeah, I think so. According to wrestle votes, WWE creative has actively been discussing the idea of getting a run in Triple A, similar to his stint in Noah. The company is looking to position as outside the WWE bubble to help further establish him as a special attraction. dog. He was already doing it in in talking about how like he was in Noah. Yeah, he was in Noah and it was working and then you just pulled him for a year and hasn’t I I don’t get WWE. I don’t get that mentality. I don’t get the plan. Uh, honestly, bro, I really think they are just keeping this man so AEW does not get him because I feel they want to, you know, maybe capitalize on his height or something and, you know, they again, they think he’s an attraction. Um, if you guys don’t think the guy could wrestle, and if you don’t think it’s working out, then it’s not gonna work out just because he’s [ __ ] tall at the end of the day. I mean, it I just I I I do not understand the vision here, man. I mean, again, you’re talking about, you know, he’s going to get a run similar to his stint in Noah, like Circ just said. Then why did we pull him from Noah? Why wouldn’t we just have him continue to work until you wanted to transition him over to Triple A? I mean, it’s just so obvious you don’t want to use the guy, then just [ __ ] get rid of him. You don’t want to use him. You think he sucks. that that’s that that’s where we’re at at the end of the day. That is everything they’ve done up until this point is is is just them showing you that they don’t like the guy. So that’s I mean it it it you you you see his height and you see him as nothing more than height. So you’re paying a guy just because he’s tall essentially. I don’t get it. I I I don’t I do not get it. I I Yeah, I don’t uh I I I don’t know, man. I don’t know. Makes no sense. So, yeah, as is um as uh still gone and uh you could probably expect him to uh pop up in Triple A. So, that’s just wonderful. Um, speaking of another guy who’s gone, Pat McAfee, Pat shed a little bit of light on why exactly he is uh gone from WWE. Uh, on the July 16th episode of the Pat McAfee Show, Pat revealed that he hit a breaking point while juggling his WWE role, ESPN duties, and new life as a dad. McAfee said the grind became too much after non-stop travel between international events and work commitments. The breaking point came during Money in the Bank weekend in Los Angeles. He says, “I got real tired, man. I crashed. I hit a wall.” He explained how the schedule took him from Dublin to Paris uh to Paris Island, then straight to LA, all all while hosting daily shows and prepping for major WWE broadcasts. He says they started Raw early. I’m like an energy guy. I don’t need a lot of sleep to operate. I’ve always been that way. Uh and then I just got to Money in the Bank in LA and I could just feel it. I’m like, “Oh my god, my brain is not operating right now.” McAfee um McAfee said that he started noticing significant signs of brain fog when he was on the verge of mental exhaustion. He says that Money in the Bank um he says as Money in the Bank was happening, I was like, “Oh my god, this is it. I finally hit it and I never thought that was going to happen.” Uh he says, “But this didn’t mean uh but this didn’t mean much.” uh this or this didn’t mean McAfee didn’t respect the job. In fact, he fired back at critics who doubted his commitment to wrestling. He says, “I know wrestling fans don’t think this is uh I think a lot of them don’t think uh don’t think this. The wrestling community doesn’t think this, but uh but like I was trying to put everybody over maximum effort uh full every time. Trying to get people over that are um trying to get people trying to get over trying to get people over to people that are watching. Damn. Well, man, that um that definitely sucks to hear. And a lot of times, a lot a lot of times, man, things uh a lot of time a lot of times, you know, things like that can happen, man. A lot of times things like that can happen. Um, I probably, um, I probably wouldn’t be the best person to talk about, um, you know, I I probably wouldn’t be the best person to preach about, um, you know, getting the the maximum amount of of of of sleep or whatever. Um, so I I mean, I I do get where he’s coming from when he talks about uh, you know, not needing much to operate, man. But I mean I am just I am glad um I I am glad that that you know he he did realize it. A lot of people it takes a lot of people don’t realize it. A lot of people just keep mudding along. Um but but it is good um that he did realize that he needed a break, man. It’s good that he realized he needed a break and and was honest with himself and uh decided to step away, man. Because again, if you can’t uh I I I am a believer of the same kind of thing, man. if you can’t give your all to something um especially something that you’re passionate about um it’s time to rejuvenate. It’s time to go back to to the drawing board. Um and and like I said, it’s time to rejuvenate and and just, you know, freshen yourself up, man. And I’m glad that Pat is taking the time to do that because again, um a lot of times he does he I mean again he he is everywhere like WWE, ESPN, he does his show every day like I mentioned. So, that’s got to be a lot on the guy and and the travel is is probably just absolutely just horrible on on just his his mental and and his body and just his overall fatigue. So, again, I’m I’m glad that he was honest enough with himself to to want to take a step back, man, because um like I said, a lot of people would just be muddying along and and just, you know, doing something um while they’re halfassing it. So, it’s it’s that that’s a good thing, man. And you got to admire that. So I hope he can come back whenever he just feels ready feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feel feels ready to come back. So yeah. Exactly, man. Exactly. It’s obvious. It’s he’s feeling that burnout man. And um you know it happens happens to many people and you know best to take the time off, recharge, and then come back man. So um man’s experienced burnout. Um and I hope he’ll um hope when he comes back he he’s fully charged. for sure. So with that, moving on to Trish Stratus. Trish Stratus. Um, it is expected that Trish Stratus will wrestle in WWE again this year according to Fightful Select. So, um, you know, you you we keep hearing this that, you know, Trish wants to do more. I know this is like her 25 year anniversary, so, uh, this year, so she’s trying to do as much as she can. Um, and, uh, I’m interested to, not really. Um, but we’ll see where she go. We’ll see where she goes from here. So, yeah, exactly. Hopefully, it’s not too too involved in a title scene or something. Who knows, man? Tiffany might pull her name out of the hat again, give her another rematch. Um, even though they had a pretty good match, so I can’t hate on that, but So yeah. Uh, quick side note, this isn’t like news or anything, but like did you hear that story about CM Punk meeting with Vince McMahon in in 2019 or something? Yeah, that’s just wild. It is crazy. It really just makes me look at that AW run very differently after learning about all that type of stuff, man. It’s It’s crazy. He He He really ended up being one of the free agents to to go over because of money. He really was there for It’s crazy, man. Good old CM Punk. It’s It’s crazy, too, bro. Because at the time, he was really selling it. Like, he really [ __ ] with AEW. Like, he he was talking [ __ ] He was he was like, you know, I watch AEW, I look at their roster and it just looks so much, you know, so much more youthful, so much more refreshing that like, damn, that’s crazy. That is crazy. That’s crazy. He’s a good actor. I’ll tell you that. Even though, you know, they saw him in I think he had a horror movie and it wasn’t that very good. Uh, but you know, in terms of wrestling, man, he’s a good actor. Yeah, he is. So, um, speaking of Trish Stratus, man, she was just on a WWE PLE, that, uh, of which being Evolution. So, according to PW Insider, the feeling amongst those spoken to is that they have to do another Evolution after the um, after the night’s excellent quality of the show. Those spoken to made it clear that there is no timetable uh as to if or when it happens and nothing has been decided on as of yet. Crazy to think that evolution was that good and Bianca Belair wasn’t even in a match. Imagine that’s crazy. Imagine when she, you know, was actually back moving. Yeah. Um Liv is another one that wasn’t there. Stephanie Valker wasn’t in like a singles match type of thing. Um so just imagine I mean the the possibilities are are quite crazy uh for what they could potentially do um what they could potentially do with um you know uh future evolutions. But no, I think that should be the general consensus. Man, like I said, I don’t know if it’s a show you got to do every year. I I think maybe by yearly, do it every two years. I think that might be fine. Um I don’t think they should go another seven-year gap, but you know, um I don’t, you know, could they do it next year and and have it be pretty nice, man? Sure. Uh but but you know, you never want to burn a concept out. Um so I think every two years, man, might be a good idea. Even though I would not doubt if they ran it back and I also wouldn’t be upset if they ran it back. I just don’t want the concept to get, you know, ju just kind of boring, you know what I mean? I don’t want it to get like uh I don’t Well, I don’t want it to get like Forbidden Door, but then again, we’re talking two completely different scenarios there. But I mean, yeah. I mean, like I said, I would just do it by yearly. again, not, you know, I wouldn’t make it a thing where it’s like, you know, they gotta they got to do one every single year. Um because like last year in women’s wrestling wasn’t really that great, you know what I mean? So like you never know when you’re going to come up on those years where it’s bad, you know what I mean? And things aren’t really all that interesting at the moment. And I mean last year around this time Liv was doing her reign and Ria was out so she was just feuding with Randos and then Bailey was the women’s champion and it was boring as sin. She was feuding with Nia Jax. So again you you’re going to come up on years where again shit’s just not looking too hot in the WWE women’s division at the moment. Um but when things are do evolution, bro, I I don’t see a problem with it. Exactly. I don’t see a problem with it all. I’d be down for next year, especially with the women’s crop they have right now that like like you said didn’t fully get to work the show, man. So, I think next year it could be even cooler and even crazier. Um, just never make it a thing where it’s part of your schedule and you’re like, “Oh, we have to do this show.” So, let’s let’s try to make something for the show. It has to happen as organically as possible. I think it happened this year. I think it happen next year, but but it don’t let it become a thing where it’s, oh, it’s evolution time of the year. Let let’s conjure up some [ __ ] even though they might not have stuff written up yet. So, it’s one of those things. Don’t have to do it. Do it when you should do it. Um, and if that’s next year, then then dope. I hope it’s next year. Um, if it’s not the year after that, then skip it for a year. That that’s the way I would look at it. That’s the way WWE needs to look at a lot of things, okay? That’s the way WWE needs to look at War Games. That’s the way WWE needs to look at uh um putting the tag team um or not putting the tag team championships on pay-per-views. So, they they they really need to learn when, okay, we should put this on the pay-per-view. Okay, we should take this away. Okay, we should bring this back. They they got to get better at that, man. They really really do. But um but yeah, for sure cuz yeah, like like I said, man, you come up on a year like 2024 again, Evolution’s not going to be looking so hot. I’ll just say that. But um again, man, cuz last year for the the women in WWE, it was a pretty pretty uh pretty pretty boring year to be honest, man. So again, but when you do come up on years like this year and things have been pretty good so far, then do it. So, our final story before we get to some AEW stuff, man, we got a WWE/TNA story as according to Sports Illustrated. AJ Styles appearing at TNA Slamversary has reportedly been in the works for some time and has been a top priority for TNA management. the report uh the reported expectation amongst members of the TNA roster is that Styles will be at the event in some capacity. Now, last night, I believe they did air some sort of vignette uh for AJ Styles and it was like a crate that opened up with like his old TNA gear in it. So, AJ Styles will be appearing at TNA Slamversary for the first time since 2014. It’s been 11 years since uh since since AJ has has been in in TNA, man. So crazy to see. And um I’m sure for their audience that’ll be an epic homecoming, man, for uh for um uh for AJ Styles, man. That’s that’s his old stomping ground. So yeah, man. It’s awesome. Cool to see, man. Um, funny, you know, people thought, you know, he was going to be all in this year and, um, he’s showing up to TNA, man, but, um, he was going to be at all in, dude. He was he was going to face Will Osprey. He was, um, or he was going to attack Will Osprey after match, but Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. It was like, exactly. But, um, you know, he’s going to do the the thing with TNA, and that’s really cool, man. He’s, you know, a t he’s like the TNA guy. um to be honest, he’s one of those people where you think of someone from, you know, from TNA, you think of AJ Styles, for an example, and um it’s going to be cool to see for sure, man. So, yeah, that is all the news for WWE again within that the WWE segment of the show. I do apologize for all the uh technical difficulties within there, but look man, if tech diffic if technical difficulties got you drained, if life difficulties got you drained, go ahead and copy you some energy, man.

Little chuckle. Um, so All right. You ready for this? According to Uncle Dave. Oh, it gets good. Well, if you watched this before Dynamite, this probably would have got you really excited for Dynamite, but we’re post Dynamite. So anyways, according to Uncle Dave, AEW talent reportedly feel very very happy with AEW Allin and there is reportedly a sense that things have turned around. Wow. They did a 360 because they [ __ ] turned right back around uh come come this Wednesday and we’ll talk about that on Tuesday. But boy oh [ __ ] boy that you know things turn around. All in is great and then you turn right back around and we’re waiting for All Out to be good again cuz holy [ __ ] was that [ __ ] episode something. You know we were talking last night man and I told you I said you know as far as AW’s concerned I will catch them in uh I I will catch them in early September for All Out or whenever the [ __ ] it is midepptember or whatever the [ __ ] it is. Um because uh sure don’t want to catch urban indoor. No. Um uh no I I I I’ll miss that train. I I will let that train leaves the station very happily as I uh hopefully I I I’m almost begging them at this point not to do something big at that show because oh my god. Um I I I just Oh god. I you know I I don’t want to say I don’t want to review it. I I I I you know I love hanging out with you guys, man. Highlight of my night half the time, bro. But but [ __ ] are those Forbidden Door shows just God, those are just a bore fest, man. It is just just you just have I mean you pay 50 bucks to just listen to Excalibur mark out about these people in Japan that he likes and and this has no implications on anything. But but anyways, AEW, man, there’s a sense that they turn things around. Never in my life have I seen Tony Khan hit a [ __ ] U-turn so hard. I mean, he he I mean, he he he put the captain hat on. He got Captain Clay out of the seat and he hit a U-turn on that yacht so hard. I mean, it is ridiculous, man. I don’t I don’t think anybody’s ever seen a yacht hit so hard of a U-turn because he turned right back around. And um yeah, things on AW this week were rather [ __ ] bland and rather random. So um yeah, that I I I think uh I I wonder how they feel. I wonder how they feel now. Um because I wonder how they [ __ ] I’m sure they’ll say they’ll feel great coming out of Dynamite because it was a great awesome show, man. Those allstar [ __ ] money tag [ __ ] battle [ __ ] royals. Whatever. You mean the 100k four-way? I think there’s another one I Yeah, there’s a $200,000 match on Oh, yeah. It was like the uh 200k tag or something. 200k four-way tag or some [ __ ] What the [ __ ] man? Lord, Tony, what are we [ __ ] Bro, you just had Dude, you just had an alltime ending of a pay-per-view and and and and you go back to the drawing board and say, you know what we need for Wednesday? We need a [ __ ] uh 100k that’ll [ __ ] [ __ ] fast. We need We need a 100k four-way. You got to be kidding me. Um, you gota be [ __ ] kidding me. Yeah, that what what what are we doing? What are we doing, Tony? I don’t I I don’t know. But anyways, yeah, so there’s a sense things have turned around and it looks like they’re backheaded the other way where they were uh post or uh pre allin. So yeah, things are right back to where they used to be. And um yeah, it’s not the Death Riders though, so I mean I I guess it got a a fraction of a sense of a tiny bit of an iota better. So yeah, I was going to say they made the exit off the freeway, turn right back onto the next on-ramp onto the freeway instantly and are back in that same [ __ ] direction. Um, so yeah, that was that. And yeah, that was the new that is the news on how the talent is feeling for um after Allin. So speaking of some talent that was featured at Allin, we got Samoa Joe. And what’s funny about this is me and Sir K on the All-In review said this verbatim. Oh yeah, I think it was very obvious. So, uh, according to Fifel, Samoa Joe has reportedly been written off of TV following the attack at All-In as he is due to uh, as he is due to do promotional work for Twisted Metal season 2, which, for the record, I think comes out on the 31st, I want to say. And I am [ __ ] stoked because season one, oh my god, that was just my god that was so good. It was so [ __ ] good, man. Um yeah, they they killed it, man. He killed it as Sweet Tooth, the body of Sweet Tooth. He specifically killed it those last two episodes of that season, dude. Chef’s kiss, bro. Chef’s [ __ ] kiss. And this season, the cliffhanger they left us on, man. I look, bro, I’m ex I am so excited for it. Uh Anthony Mackey, Stephanie Beatatrice, bro, they they killed it. Samoa Joe killed it. Everybody killed it. Um yeah, everybody killed it. It god damn, it was so great. But um uh I’m excited, man. I’m excited. And I had a feeling and and again we even said it then that that he had he had to go he had to go do some media for Twisted Metal. So I’m excited for it, bro. I am Man, I’m pumped for Twisted Metal season 2. I can’t lie. If you can’t [ __ ] tell. Oh. Oh, man. You can tell most definitely. It’s very obvious why he was written off TV. I mean, the show is coming up. Obviously, they’re going to do promotion. He’s a big part of it and, you know, he’s he’s going to go do promotion, so that’s cool. Um, wonder, you know, what the [ __ ] he’s gonna be coming back to, who God knows what what what AEW he’s coming back to. I don’t even want to think about. He might as well come back on that ice cream truck, dude. Um, but um yeah, he’s going to be off TV for a little bit, man. Yeah, please, Joe. Ju just just stay in the the the sweet tooth ice cream truck, please. Just just just stay. You might as well. They might as well start filming season three and keep them out. Oh, man. I wonder if they’ll do a season three. I wonder if this is going to be the write-off. I hope I hope they do a season three, but I mean, we’ll we’ll we’ll see how it goes because god damn, season one was so good. Um, but yeah. Um, speaking of somebody who got attacked by the lynchpin of the death riders, lynch pin. Bad badass just orafhilled nickname there. The lynchpin Claudio. They got stomped the [ __ ] bobby pin by the lynch pin. Claudio casing. Will Osprey Will Osprey man according to Fifel, Will Osprey has been working banged up and is ex uh I almost said excited and is expected to take some time to take some time off of AW. Man, I’m [ __ ] injured. Um, those spoken to are of the belief that Osprey will be out over a month, but the exact timetable isn’t known, which this is interesting because this man might miss Forbidden Door, which if that’s the case, then uh, holy [ __ ] God bless Forbidden Door. God bless anybody who watches Forbidden Door. Um, generally only two matches I can see so far for Forbidden Door are Swerb and Okana. And um, I could see Mox and Derby unless they keep try to keep saving it. But other than that, that is literally the biggest thing I think of Forbidden Door is [ __ ] Swerve and Okana. I I I honestly think especially with his ties with the Death Riders and because of Forbidden Door, I could see Mox and Darby and I could see the main event of that show being Adam Paige versus Gabe Kid. Um, which is is good. I mean, it it’s good. Uh, not good enough for a review, guys. I’m It is It is going It It goes again. You guys I I can’t stress, man. I I I if I love doing anything, man, it it’s a post show review. I love hanging out with you guys after the pay-per-view, but I really think we may have to throw the towel in for Forbidden Door, man. I It is just It is not a reviewable show. It It just It is. We can’t talk about storylines coming out of it again cuz nothing [ __ ] matters, bro. It is. I don’t know. It’s matter. Uh it so far again, man. Unless Unless they, you know, have [ __ ] John Cena come in to to to have a match against Adam Paige, we’re probably not reviewing Forbidden Door because the show is just the show is worthless. I mean, again, um we’re looking at about we’re looking at about an 80 20%, but you know, we’ll see. It’s like Saturday Night Stuff happened, but it’s like it’s not worth to do a whole review over. We we included in unscripted and that’s usually good enough. I I think that’s where we’re headed, bro. To be honest, like I said, unless they pull out unless they pull out [ __ ] John Cena versus Kenny Omega, then unless appearance, you won’t [ __ ] the review. And if he does, then holy [ __ ] Quiet down a little bit. I don’t want any of the AW fans to hear you say that cuz you know he’s going to be there. Yeah, he AJ Styles is he’s he’s going to come in and [ __ ] face Nick Jackson and Nick Jackson. Nick Jackson shocked that too. Yeah, they probably would. They would eat it up for sure. Um, did you see all these people conspirizing that the young bucks are gonna turn on each other and one of them? Oh my. You seen this [ __ ] too? Yeah, bro. Oh my god. You’re like comparing an image that they shot of like them hugging each other to another image of Osprey and Fletcher, right? Yeah, bro. Even though that’s a even though like the image like the both of the Bucks were mad like or like they looked weird like they they both of them were not vibing with Callus hugging them even though they tried to say like Matt was smiling he’s happy about it like no he wasn’t y’all just screenshot at the most convenient time like all right it’s it’s very obvious they’re going to just slowly ease their way off being heels slowly ease their way into being baby faces again. That’s pretty the [ __ ] obvious path here. But, you know, AW fans think AJ Styles is showing up. They think [ __ ] Young Bucks are going to split up. They they they got some [ __ ] They got some theories, man. And they’re all ass. Well, I I don’t know about that, man. Maybe the Bucks are going to be the newest members of the Adam Cole family. [ __ ] kill me. Um, so dude with fire. So, so Will Osprey is out. Um, this does suck for AEW, man. This obviously sucks for AW. I originally thought the main event of all of of Forbidden Door was going to be Paige and Osprey. Um, I thought Paige was going to give that to him for the sacrifice that he made. But if Will is actually banged up and if he’s actually hurt, man, um, then we might not be seeing him back for, you know, may maybe Alloutish. Maybe he comes back at Forbidden Door. I don’t know. But I hope he rests up. I hope he gets the proper rest and the proper healing um before he comes back. Hope AW don’t bring him back early. But um, I hope we see him back, man, whenever he’s good. So yeah. So Osprey looks looks like Osprey is going to be out, man. Which which um does suck for AW’s uh case in television, but at least John Moxley isn’t the world champ anymore. That’s all that matters. So, Kenny Omega, according to Fightful Select, Kenny Omega uh is reportedly set to take some time off from AEW television. It is currently unclear if he will be off programming or if he will be making sporadic appearances. Well, if you watch Dynamite on Wednesday, Don Callas referred to Kenny Omega as being dead, so I’m assuming he’ll be off programming for a little bit. Yeah, I think I don’t think he’s like People are like, “Oh, is he injured?” What I think it is for Kenny, I think they you can’t have that man with, you know, his history of medical problems around all the time, working all the time. You’re going to have to use him sporadically. And I think, you know, he’s really not needed on TV right now. So, don’t have him on TV right now. Save him. Save his health. And I think that’s what it I think this is going to be a pretty constant with Kenny Omega. I think we’re going to see him for a while. Big pay-per-view match. Won’t see him for a little bit. See him won’t see him. And that’s just obvious due to his health. Absolutely, man. Obviously, we all know the diverticulitis, the Japan style uh really took a toll on the man. So, this is kind of just what we’ve been used to for a while with Kenny. And I honestly think this is no different from how it’s going to be since he came back. He’s going to appear sporadically when he wrestles a big match, which he normally does at like a lot of the pay-per-views. Um, they usually give him some time off, man. It’s not really the best idea uh at this point in the man’s life to, you know, having him run around like a [ __ ] Iron Man. Um, you know, this this is not 2016 anymore, man. Kenny’s a lot older. Kenny’s a lot older and we need to preserve Kenny so we can have Kenny for as long as as long as he’s willing to go. But let’s take care of him uh on the way there, man. Let’s not, you know, let’s not again uh waste the guy’s health and rush the guy out there and again just waste uh the last couple good years we really have of Kenny, you know, [ __ ] fighting Lee Johnson on on Dynamite in a squash match. So, um uh so yeah, I mean it makes sense and like I said, this is pretty similar to what we’re used to as a whole with with Omega. So, yeah. Oh, definitely. So, We got news. We got more injury news for AEW as a talent was injured during the collision tapings yesterday. Yesterday, AEW’s collision tapings on July 17th in Chicago take a serious turn as the $200,000 four-way tag team match went wrong. Wonder if they’re going to use the money for the medical bills. Cor maybe maybe that’s if he gets any for if he gets any medical assistance from AW. You might be asking for too much. That is true. I don’t even think match. Correspondents at the by line bank ar Aragon Ballroom in Chicago sent word that Colton Gun appeared to suffer a right knee injury during the tag match. featuring Big Bill, Brian Keith, the the Guns, Gates of Agony, and Krew. In the image captured uh in the image captured from ring uh uh from the ringside area, uh Gun is seen being helped to the back, clearly in pain, favoring his leg while surrounded by crew and talent. The match continued without him. Uh but the injury didn’t go unnoticed with uh with concern as Gun was escorted away. Uh there’s been no official word on his status yet from AEW. Damn the injury bug, bro. That’s what I was going to say that did the other Was it the other one that came back from injury recently or was Colton the one that was injured? I think it was Austin. I’m pretty sure it was Austin that was hurt. Okay. That [ __ ] always sucks, dude. And a lot of times it is a plague on a lot of AEW tag teams. It because I mean it happened, you know, with with the original Top Flight. It happened with I think it it happened multiple times, but multiple [ __ ] tag teams before, dude. And that’s the worst. One comes back from injury and then right as they’re back, the other one goes out with the injury, dudes. That [ __ ] sucks, dude. I really grown to to like the guns, actually. Um, and I it sucks that that you know they’re they’re out again, dude. It really sucks. Absolutely, bro. Absolutely. Um, bro, I’m trying to Oh, here we go. I’m trying to see cuz I keep getting the memory for it, bro. I I I literally I had to mention this because I keep getting the memory on my Google uh photos. Um, what would that be? Uh, [ __ ] Five years ago today, bro. Um, or actually, no, actually by this point, five years ago yesterday was uh when we went to PWTS. Wow, that’s insane, dude. Five years ago. That I think that was the last time we’d been. I think so. Was it? Were Yeah, cuz they closed shortly after. Oh, they did. And yeah, we never went back cuz now I think it’s weird. It’s uh I think I think now it is closed permanently, but for a while it was like weird. So now PWTs does a popup. Do you remember the case they had where it was Do you remember the case where it was just like a bunch of shirts in the case type thing? like you had to it was it was almost like a closet almost and you kind of just like open it, you know, and then there’s like a stack of shirts with, you know, and it’s got like the it’s got like the the shirt posted on like the front of the closet type thing and then you open it up and grab the I think it’s just those now and it’s a real small selection. Really missed opportunity there. I miss when that was just an open walk-in store. Maybe I would actually buy some [ __ ] AW merch if it was still open because I would just say, “Hey, one day. Well, no. I I I I would if they Well, if they made fire merch for the right people like, dude, for like Tony Storm or cuz like half the time, bro, the thing that keeps me from buying AW merch is how [ __ ] long they take, dude. It’s just It’s like how long it takes three weeks to get to you. And and then their designs nowadays are kind of [ __ ] So, dude, they’re they’re so lame and cheesy and and it’s always like the cheesiest garbage. Like the like the MJF pickle one. It’s like, dude, why why does Mark Brisco have an MJF kosher pickle shirt? It’s like what is that? Who is wearing that? The [ __ ] that think AJ Styles was going to be at [ __ ] all in. That’s who’s wearing it. That’s who’s wearing this. Yep. Yeah. Crazy stuff, bro. Crazy stuff. Um, yeah. Damn. Five years ago. So, we’ll Who knows, man. Maybe they’ll maybe they’ll open it up again one day. Um, but hopefully. Moving on here to Ricochet. Speaking of cheesy, um, Ricochet, he uh, oh god. Uh, according to the US, I mean, US according to the US trademark office, Ricochet filed a trademark for lightkin kingpin. I mean, it’s ass, but like it’s ass to where like it’s funny. You know what I mean? Like him saying that on TV, it’s going to be so cringy and lame, but that’s kind of the point. So, I’m I’m kind of excited to see him announce this on television cuz it’s going to be [ __ ] hilarious. The light skin kingpin. Well, you you know what I miss from Ricochet? I miss the the the tag team of Zesty Monster, bro. You remember that tag team? Him and Braun Strowman, man. Where is Zesty Monster, dude? That was coded. He He needs to He needs to link up with like I mean Ro King be hanging out with anybody. So, [ __ ] it. Throw get Zesty King over there and [ __ ] go crazy. Well, now he’s with the gates of agony. So, he could be the gates of zest. Yeah, the zest of agony. Maybe you got a lot of potential there. There’s a lot of potential there. But, um, Jesus. Uh, but yeah, Ricochet, like you said, man, it is it is awful, but that’s Ricochet. His whole character is corny, you know? So, I mean it it makes sense. Yeah, he’s corn at this point. He he’s he’s at this point I think he’s trying to be corny and I think it is still working. Um, so it’s funny and it it fits his character. It it is better better than what he was doing in WWE for me. So, I actually I still like what he’s doing in AW, man. Very true. Very true. For sure. Yeah. I mean, right now, I don’t even know. He th this this man would would probably have have jobbed out 87 times over to the Seth Riders. So, it’s it’s better than that. I’ll give him that. So, yeah. Or the Bloodline, whichever show. He was either if he was on Smackdown. It would have been the Bloodline or MFTt or on like you said on Raw, it would have been Seth Ryers. How many tsunamis would Ricochet have taken if he was still in WWE is the real question. So dozens. Call that [ __ ] [ __ ] crispy cream dozen. Yeah. No, you ain’t lying, bro. So AEW AEW have they got a they got another announcement. They got another announcement for us on a show. So, they have announced as of I want to say this was yesterday. Um, yes, this was yesterday. AEW have announced. AEW have announced their AEW All-In London return for August 30th, 2026 in none other than Wembley Stadium, which as you can see, we’re right back to London. We’re right back to the same old font and the tradition. The the tradition. Yeah, there you go. Um, one thing I like from Allin Texas, man, it just it felt fresh. They switched up the font to the show, obviously had the cowboy theme going on, and we are right back in London, right back to uh right back to this again. So, um, uh, in all serious though, uh, in all serious though, man, I mean, you know, the if you look behind, it’s kind of got like a like a an aerial view of like a map. I mean, that looks kind of cool. the I mean the the theme looks pretty cool, man. But the one thing that a lot of people took notice of if you look at this image right here, this is Money in the Bank, New Orleans. And what’s the date on that? That says Saturday, August 29th, 2026. This is August 30th, 2026. So what that means is we have another double weekend as we have Money in the Bank and Allin on the same weekend. So that should be interesting, man. And this time AEW is firing back, I guess, from what WWE did to them this year. all-in weekend. I think I think this year we gave them confidence. I mean, you know, we [ __ ] on AW television all the [ __ ] time. Just wait till Tuesday. But, um, you know, their pay-per-views are good. All In was a great show. Um, my only, you know, bit of criticism mainly is don’t make it six hours next year, please. And I think you’ll have a phenomenal show ahead of you. Um, that was just a real that was like really the only negative on the show was, you know, the the [ __ ] six-hour time frame. Um, you cut that down a decent amount and I think you have a really good show and I’m excited for the weekend. I love the double weekends. My only fear and my only request, it’s to WWE. I swear to God, don’t put Evolution 3 that Sunday. I I people have been saying, you know, don’t do it. I don’t think it would happen, but I wouldn’t be shocked either. So, please don’t do that, WWE, because I want to watch both shows live and review both shows live for sure. Yeah. I I don’t I feel like they wouldn’t because I’m assuming they’ll have a lot of women, but Yeah, cuz they’ll have a lot of women in in that ladder match. So, I I could maybe see them, you know, maybe not wanting to work them, you know, you know, both nights or whatever. But then again, they they did work Stephanie both nights with uh um with Worlds Collide and and Money in the Actually, no, that was two matches in the same day. So, yeah, they worked the hell out of her that day. But, um but yeah, I mean, hopefully not, man. Hopefully not. Which it’s Money in the Bank weekend. That’s one of their biggest ones. If anything, I I I just You know, they’re gonna add an NXT show that weekend. You know, they’re gonna add an NXT show that Sunday. We’re gonna get the first ever Sunday night’s main event. Um Oh, brother. I wouldn’t [ __ ] doubt it. But um [ __ ] WWE, but um yeah. All in. I’m down, dude. I’m down. I’m excited for sure, man. All in. It’s going back to London. It’s going back to Wembley. So, you know, good old Tony Khan. Um, tradition, tradition is key, which like you mentioned tradition like you mentioned this year, it was really nice with allin, you know, Texas theme logo and and show and and overall and you know, they allin is their Wrestlemania and it was really cool because this year they treated it like Wrestlemania visually where they kind of, you know, did a theme about where they went and that’s why you take a show around. That’s why WWE takes WrestleMania around because, you know, boom, you’re in New Or New Orleans, Marty Gro, you’re in Vegas gambling, you’re here, it’s this. And I I really just not even because I’m sick of traditions with AW, but just take Allin around because you could just do that same thing but for Allin and it’ be super [ __ ] dope, dude. Imagine like a [ __ ] Lakers theme all in if they’re in California or a [ __ ] you you could do so much cool [ __ ] and I I really hope after next year they really move Allin around and make it like a yearly thing to move it around. Absolutely. Uh I I hope so. Yeah. I hope that is the last year that they run Wembley for a while. Like I said, man, I’m I’m in agreeance with you, man. If you want the show to become bigger and bigger and bigger, move it around, bro. Take it out of London, go to Wales, go to uh Scotland, go uh somewhere, Ireland, something um Rio. Go crazy. Yeah, Pu Puerto Rico, you know, something, dude. Something different, man. But um but yeah, I mean I hope so. I hope so, man. But we will see. We will see how how all that works out, man. But for our final story today, man, Adam Cole, Adam Cole, according to the Wrestling Observer, Adam Cole was reportedly set to retire at AEW All-In until cooler heads prevailed. Brian Alvarez stated that from what I gather, he was pretty much ready to go out on Sunday and retire. Cooler has prevailed. He may make that decision at any time. Everything that you saw on TV was 100% legitimate. His future as a wrestler is very much in doubt. Sean Sap would bring us a update on this stating that Adam Cole is currently dealing with a concussion which a lot of uh AEW fans have noted a point on his collision match where he took a lariat from Kyle Fletcher and uh pretty much all of his all of his weight as he took it as he took the bump all of his weight fell down right on his head. Um, man, that is Dude, it really No, it it really does, man. Um, do you see do you see uh do you see Adam Cole retiring, bro? Interesting, man. Because from the cooler heads prevail line to me that reads as Adam Cole was very you know flustered very worried probably overthinking and I think he was going to make the decision to retire and the vibe I get is that someone talked is that people in general were able to talk him out of it out of him doing that in that moment and letting time be the the answer to that. And I think that’s where the answer does lie is time. um you know he there’s a chance he might have to and if you give it enough time there’s a chance he could go again. It’s one of those things where you know I think time is the real teller in this situation and who knows what how much that time will be. Maybe he needs to take year or two off and maybe you know that sucks and you know that really [ __ ] he might have the longest contract in in the in wrestling history at that point. uh might beat out Taker’s 10year contract, but um it’s just one of those things, man, where it’s 15. Um where it’s I think time is the only way to tell if if if you know he what the future entails for him. I truly hope he does not have to retire. Adam Cole is such a beast, dude. He’s great. Um one of my favorites from NXT, dude, and one of the best potential guys that anyone can have on the roster, man. And I truly hope that, you know, he can continue and that wherever he may continue, whoever is booking him, um, can lock the [ __ ] in and make him the top star he [ __ ] should have been. Man, this guy crazy that he never got that AW World Championship. But honestly, bro, he’s 36. If he’s got to take a year off, he’ll come back at 37. He’s got to take two years off, he’ll come back at 38. And I I agree with you, man. I I honestly think from what that sounds like, it sounds like Cole was done. It sounds like he was just tired of dealing with concussions and he’s he’s tired of he’s tired of the injury battle that he’s fought ever since he’s been in AEW really. Um he’s tired of it and I could see him being at the point where he just kind of wants to hang it up. We kind of hear the same thing from Kenny Omega, right? We hear the same thing. Uh Kenny always says, “One more major injury and and I’m done, right?” Um Danielson, you know what I mean? We we heard we’re we still hear it with him, even though I I think Brian will be back. We hear it with him all the time, you know? Um I need to be a dad and I need my my neck to be okay, you know what I mean? Because I I need to be a dad or whatever. Um, and and he talked about too being done or being part-time, which obviously, like I said, I think Brian will go to being part-time and more of an attraction for AW, but I think Adam Cole is kind of at that same point here, man, where he is I I think he’s tired of fighting the injury battle. He knows he’s getting older. Logan says it in the chat, “You only got one brain, bro, and unless you’re Shabbat, you can’t get another one.” Okay? So, it it’s important for Adam Cole to protect um protect his brain. And with the amount of concussions, bro, I think this is like number three or maybe even four that he’s had since he’s been in AW cuz I remember hearing that, you know, he he’s even kind of, you know, had concussions or or been a little banged up before and and and he doesn’t even realize it. You know what I mean? And when you get to that point, you know it’s bad. So, You you just got to get to a point where you you you do have to respect his decision on do we love Adam Cole? [ __ ] yeah. Like Sir K just said, he’s he’s one of he’s he’s one of all of our favorites from NXT, right? He he he he is an NXT godfather. He is an NXT god. He is [ __ ] Adam Cole. He’s the leader of the undisputed era. The greatest faction in NXT history, right? There’s no questioning that. Um, but it gets to a point where do you want to keep doing this if you are just going to further risk of brain injury as you get older in life? I mean, that is that that that’s no good, man. That’s no good. Nobody obviously um you know, he a Adam Cole Adam Cole signed up to be a professional wrestler. And I’m almost positive Adam Cole did not sign up to have brain injury and and and and be in a wheelchair the rest of his life. Okay. So, um again, it gets to a point where I could see why he would maybe make the decision later on to um and I think it’s good that they talked him into waiting and seeing where things go. I think that is a good thing. Uh, like I said, man, I I I really do I I think it’s a good thing that he obviously wasn’t in a good headsp space. So, I think it’s a good thing that they decided to he decided to wait on it. Um, but again, just saying, bro, if he does come to that decision, it it’s to the point where we all got to respect it, man. I mean, he’s he’s been in AEW since he was 32 years old. Um he’s now 36 and has already battled foot injuries, concussion injuries. I um so much. I mean it it it’s it’s it really sad, but but again you got you get to a point where you just got to say this guy’s got to look out for his health at some [ __ ] point. Something’s got to give. And um we’ll see what his decision is. But whatever it is, man, we we all got to respect it because um th this this has been very hard for us to see him go through as fans. And I can only imagine how this is on him. You know what I mean? And that that’s what’s most important. And I hope he makes a decision that’s suit who’s best for him. Um but again, do not be shocked if he takes like one two years off, bro. because uh Brian Brian took three off from his concussion and um or from his you know concussion and brain problems. So um do not be shocked if we get some sort of mini retirement from Adam Cole for now. Um and and and I I think he’s going to be gone a really really long time to be honest. I’m I’m thinking about two or three years. Um so it sucks but this again this this is this is his brain man. He he he for him. Exactly. Exactly. And and and and one thing I’m I’m glad for, man, is I feel like a lot of wrestling fans, you know, at some point you just got to stop caring about wrestling and and you got to care about the guy as a human being. So, and I’m glad a lot of fans seem to be in that mindset. So, Exactly. Yeah. Um most definitely, man. Most definitely. It sucks, but I truly just wish the be best in health for the man. So, absolutely, bro. Absolutely. And yeah, man. That is everything here today for this edition of the news. Thank you guys so very much as always for joining us here today, man. Thank you guys.
