The Seth Rollins show. Get along that. That's right. That's right. I've taken over entirely, completely, absolute power.

Oh, and I feel good in this chair today. I feel really good today, man. I know, right? Look at me. Look at this.
Look at this style. What have I done? What have I become? Who am I? Shout out to King Troy for that.
Shout out to Troy. That's right. That's right. Look, we had a bunch of looks on deck for all the Raws and pay-per-views and premium live events, whatever we call them these days. We had all these looks on deck.
Obviously, you know, we went over the knee injury yesterday. We're not going to get into it today, but we still got the looks.
So now I'm bringing them to the show. I'm bringing him to the show. Why not? I am joined here today by the usual crew. Chris Brockman rocking over there.
Jason Feller, TJ Jefferson. I think he might be a little closer today, actually. No, still in the note of life. Also, my manager, Dip, is here. Yeah, Dip is here.
He was here yesterday. We didn't acknowledge him at all, but he is here. Throw the one up for Brett. Yeah, throw the one up for Dip. Dip is here.
Yeah, he's like the mascot, kind of, I suppose. He's over there just sitting on the couch looking cool. We had a lot of callers yesterday. It was awesome. I hope we get some more.
If you want to call, talk. You got questions. We had a lot of two-parters yesterday. A lot of two parts. A lot of two-parters.
We get some two-parters today. If you want to call, chat. Keep it to one part. Yeah, keep it. Just consolidate, right?
One question. Can we just get one, just a simple yes-no, even if you want to. And we can move through. They don't know the next time they're going to get to talk to you, so they got to work all that in. That's fair.
That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. Call us 844-204. Rich, you are watching us on the Roku Sports channel.
Listen to us, Infinity Sports Network, SiriusXM, Channel 375. You can stream for free on the Odyssey app. Odyssey.com. Rich has got his social media, Rich Eisen Show. I've got mine.
At WWE Rollins. Let's get into it, man. What's going on in the sports world? What are we talking about sports-wise? We watched the Espes last night.
Did you get on the Espies at all? Especially last night. What are we rating Shane Gillis? How is he as a host? What do we think?
It depends if Shane is your cup of tea or not, right? And so, if you find his humor funny, I imagine that you enjoyed last night's kind of Espes roast. Yes. It seems that's kind of what it was. It's a tough room.
I don't know if you've been to the Espes or Hadsets.
So, you know, like, you know, athletes don't have the best sense of humor about themselves at times.
So, you know, he's. Picking shots here and there. It's a tough room, but I thought he did great. Sarah rode on the roast.
So, Sarah's his lady. You know, I support it 100%. I thought it was great. Yeah.
Okay. All right. I'm like, I'm 50-50 on Shane Gillis.
Okay. Yeah.
I think sometimes jokes they hit me real nice. You know, what I do like is he's got like the little, he's got like this kind of like sly little smirk to him when he thinks he's being funny, you know? And I like that. I think that's pretty fun. I dig that.
So good, good, good, good, good. Were there any plus he offended everybody? Like it was equal opportunity. Yeah, of course. That's what I dig about comedy, man.
I like, you know, we went through a stage where it was like real touch and go there for a minute, but I think we're back. I think we're back in comedy. I think it's, I think we're just offending everybody again. You know, we're just back. Yeah, that's what we need.
That's what we need. That's what we need. Just make fun of each other. That's the whole, that's the whole game, right? You're bald, Brockman.
Yeah.
I love this. I've been bald stuff 24, man. 24? You can't come at me about the bald stuff. 20.
Yeah, you've owned it. Owned it. Were you when you had hair? Was it a crisis moment or did you just go full bye-bye?
So it was like, let's see. Freshman year, there was still, I still had some hair.
Sophomore year, basketball, a bunch of us like shaved our heads. Just like, oh, we're going to buzz our heads. And then it never really came back. And then senior year, it was like, don't let the bald guy shoot. And then college, I kind of had the comb front over.
And then after that, I remember my last haircut, it was just like. What am I wasting $20 for? Like, it's over. It really suits you. It really suits you.
I have been wanting to cut my hair for a long time. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I, I'm, I've, we talked about this a little bit off-air before the show. I've been growing my hair or had long hair since I was a teenager, since I was like, I don't know, 15. And I'm like, I'm sick of it. I'm over it. I've had enough of it.
I love it for wrestling when it's wet and it looks cool and it's great and stuff. But like, my hair, it stops looking cool five minutes into the match. It just, it just poofs out. It turns into this, we call it rumble hair when it just turns. It's full chaos jungle man hair.
It's nuts. Then you start choking on it. It's a terrible situation. How long have you had yours? My locks.
So I locked my hair in June of 1999 is when I first got. Locked it up. And you've never, you never had, uh, you never chopped it, just had it. No, listen. I mean, I would go back in the day, I'd go like half a year when in summertime I'd be bald and I would grow an afro in winter, shave it for summer, afro in winter, and then I just let the afro grow until it was time to lock it.
You had a full cycle. Yeah.
You had a full cycle with his hair. That's fantastic. I was born with an afro, actually.
Well, we got a great show today. We got a really cool show. I'm excited. It's a fight. It's like a fight-friendly show today.
We got Terrence Crawford, Terrence Bud Crawford. He is undefeated. Got a big fight with Canelo Alvarez coming up soon, later this year. We're going to talk to him about that. And we got my man, DC Daniel Cormier, two division champion in the UFC.
DC, you know, big Seth Rollins fan. Oh. Big Seth Rollins fan. He was actually there present for my very first cash-in, the heist of the century, 10 years ago in 2015 in Santa Clara.
So we're going to get his takes on the upcoming fight. Dustin Poirier's last fight in the UFC this Saturday. I believe that's this Saturday, right, down in New Orleans. For the BMF title. For the BMF title against Max Holloway, sure to be a banger.
Can't wait to see. I think Poirier said he's got Lil Wayne. Walking him, oh, walking him out, too. I think so, yeah. But his first walk to the ring and his ever, first ever fight, he played Lil Wayne as his walkout music.
So that's cool, man. And kind of full circle. That's a full circle situation, right there. I love that. And like DC's a he's a Louisiana boy, I think, too.
So there's like some connection. I know he lives maybe out in North Cal now, but I think there's some connection there.
So that anyway, we got a great show. We got a very fight-friendly show, but we want to kick things off with some football, right?
Some football chat. What do we got here? We got some lists. We love lists. We do love lists.
We love when other people help us with content. Shout out Jeremy Fowler, our good buddy. Earlier in the week, you know, he talks to. GMs, executives from teams anonymously, of course, so they can, you know, kind of speak freely, right? And he did his top 10 quarterbacks earlier in the week.
We hit on that. That was kind of a surprise, right? Jalen Hurts, way too low. Very. Justin Herbert, maybe a little too high.
Now he's got top 10 wide receivers. Yeah.
The top 10 wide receiver list. Here we go. We got Jamar Chase number one. Has overtaken Justin Jefferson, of course. My cousin.
These are anonymous NFL execs, coaches, and scouts. Justin Jefferson, your cousin TJ, number two. Tyree Kill still up there. Cheetah. Number three.
Okay. Cee D. Lamb, AJ Brown, Amon Ross, St. Brown. Sun God.
Malik Neighbors. Wow. List at number seven after his spectacular rookie year with basically us throwing him the ball. Nico Collins was honorable mentioned last year. He's eight now.
Mike Evans, first Ballot Hall of Famer. He is nine. Garrett Wilson and his new. Bag contract number 10. Honorable mention, Terry McLaurin, who wants the bag, Puka, BTJ.
DK Metcalf, T. Higgins, and Devontae Adams. Guys, thoughts on the list.
Well, I am very insulted that DJ Moore. He didn't even make honorable mention. Not even an honorable mention. We knew that one was going to come. I'm insulted on DJ's behalf.
Not just a look, DJ Moore is a stud. He is. He is a stud. Not even an honorable mention. You can't even put him in there.
You got Brian Thomas Jr. in there, but you don't got, and I like Brian Thomas. I mean, he was top five at everything. I'm not offended by that, but I'm just saying you can't even give, you know, I think Garrett Wilson in the top 10 is a bit aggressive, my opinion. I think Puka Nakua not being in the top 10 is absolutely insane.
Absolutely so insulting. But I don't know who you take out. That's the problem. There's a lot of good receivers, but Puka's got to be in the top 10. Only Neighbors at 7.
Neighbors at 7 is high, yeah. Neighbors could have been an honorable mention. You could have had Puka in the. Top six? Would you rather Puka or Amon Ra?
Ooh, that's I mean that's like that's tough. I know that's choosing between your kids. I totally get it. But also, Amin Ra is top 10 worthy as well.
So it's not. I'm not telling he's not top 10, but I mean, I think I'd have Puka. I don't know. Sun God is pretty dumb. I don't think I would have Tyreek Hill number three.
I think that's the one that kind of stands out the most. I don't mind Jamar Chase being number one. He was unbelievable last year. He, you know, he could go for 2,000 this season. I don't mind him being number one.
You say Cheetah's still top 10, though, right? I would say top 10, yeah, but number three? I mean, he's, dude, he's such a hassle to deal with. I mean, if I'm a coach, I understand that because, like, you have to, you have to know where he is on every single play. Home run, every time.
And not, and not just like, you know, we got to put our number one on him to guard him. Like, you, you need two people. You need to, you need to, you know, shift a zone in his direction. Like, he is a problem every second, every play.
Now, mentally, is he there every play? I don't know. I don't know if he takes them off. I don't know if he takes some games off. I don't know where he's at in his life, to be honest with you.
But from a game planning perspective, if he's on the field, he's a real issue. And I can't say that for. I can say it for a few of the guys on this list, the top two. I get it. I get that one.
I understand that one. I like CeeDee Lamb. I like A.J. Brown. I like all those guys in the top 10.
I think maybe you move Tyreek down. Nico Collins, man, that dude is a problem. I think that would be the one, though. Either him or Garrett Wilson, if I'd had to pick one. To swap Puka with, it would probably, and I'd like both of them, but Puka's gotta be in.
Puka's got to be in. We feel good about Mike Evans? Absolutely. You know, I don't think Puka's got to be in. Really?
No, I don't think he's got to be in. I don't think he's not a game-changing wide receiver for me. Not yet. Not yet. I mean, he's a guy that you get the ball, and he's going to get you.
I mean, he's a, you know, Cooper Cup. He's not that guy for me. He's a guy that you're going to get the ball. He's going to get a few extra yards. He might break one here and there, but he's not as dynamic as some of these other guys when it comes to getting the ball down the field big time.
That's just how I feel about it. I don't know. It might be a size thing. Might just be because he doesn't have a size. I mean, he's shifty.
Shifty is all get out. I mean, I couldn't tackle him. That's for sure. Not with two good legs, couldn't tackle him. But yeah, I mean, he's legit, but I don't know that he strikes fear into my heart.
Do you like Terry McLaurin? Should he be in the top 10? No. I don't think so. No.
No, no, no. Maybe he could slide in at 10. I think Garrett Wilson, I think Garrett's too high. I think he's an honorable mention. I think Malik might be.
I get Malik based on potential and like what you said. I don't even know who threw him the ball last year. But I argued that he's the same Giants quarterback.
So the fact that he put up numbers that he did last year, especially he really came on the second half of the season. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's a good list at the top, but yeah, that I to me, that six through ten and the honorable mentions, you can move that around and give me some DJ Moore. Come on, man. Come on.
DJ is a stud. He had like 100 catches with Justin Fields, I think. Yeah.
You know what I'm saying? That's that's no joke.
So, yeah, we talked about it earlier in the week, but Seth, let's get your take on the quarterbacks, right? Yeah, let me see the quarterbacks. Jeremy Fowler did the same list, pulled anonymous execs, scouts, coaches. And here's the top 10 quarterbacks.
Okay. Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Lamar, Jay Daniels, five, Stafford, six, Herbert, seven, Goff, Hurts, Baker. Round out the top 10 with honorable mentions to CJ Stroud. and Jordan Love.
Okay. I'm not offended by this list. I'm not offended. There was controversy you said around Jalen Hurts. Controversy around Hurts.
I mean, we, you know, all of us, me, TJ, and Rich, we all kind of thought Jalen Hurts was too low. What more does the guy have to do? What more does he have to prove? More too low. As in, you thought he should be like 5'6, we're talking about here?
I think he should be above Jaden Daniels. Two Super Bowls. He's outplayed Mahomes in both Super Bowls. I mean, and like I said, I'm a Dallas fan, so it pains me. I think he should be five for him, but maybe, maybe, honestly, maybe ahead of Joe Burrow.
Whoa, hey now. Come on, now. Let's not get crazy here. I mean, let's not get wild. I need to see Joe Burrow finish a whole season.
Are you telling me if you put Joe Burrow on the Philadelphia Eagles that that team's going to be worse? No, I'm not saying that. Come on, I'm not saying that. Let's not get that's bonkers. All right.
But the opposite stretch, if you put Jalen Hurts on the Bengals. I think they're the same team. No. No. They're the same.
No. Chase is aggressive. Absolutely not. Really? The skill set.
Look, I like Jalen Hurts, and I think he's a great quarterback. What can Hurts do that Burrow can't? Oh, Joe Burrow. What can Burrow do that that Hurts can't? Joe Burrow does not have the running element to his game.
Does not have the inside the red zone threat to score with his legs. Overrated. I think their throwing ability is pretty comparable. No, no, no, no. They both have talented wide receivers at their disposal.
I think they're pretty equal. The only difference is one guy has won a Super Bowl. This is a team sport, sir. This is not tennis. This is not golf.
MVP of the game. Oh, come on now. Let's not get crazy. That could have gone any that could have gone in. Cooper DeGene should have been MVP of that game.
Come on. Come on. Coop should have been Super Bowl MVP of that game. We know. That's Iowa bias right now.
That is not Iowa bias. Right there, Seth Rollins. The Kaiwan. Iowa bias. Coop DeGene, he sealed the deal for that.
The defense won that game. Let's be serious here. It was not that the Eagles' offense won that game. The defense won that game. They dominated Kansas City from start to finish.
The offensive line, I mean, let's come on. Jalen Carter didn't throw a 60-yard bomb at the end of the play. That's true. Look, that was a great throw. I'm not taking anything away from Jalen Hurts here.
I'm really not. I don't want it to come off like I'm like, TJ, we've been wondering who the Hurts haters are. We found one. You found one. We found one.
I didn't think Seth Rollins would be a Hurts hat. I didn't think he was going to be at the desk today. This Eagles team is constructed to win as a team. They are constructed to, and I'm not saying that he's a bad quarterback. I think he's a hard worker.
I love his attitude. I think he's a great quarterback, but I would not put him above Joe Burrow. No chance. Zero chance. Zilch, Nada.
None. I don't think the skill set is the same. I don't think the on-field IQ is the same. That's just how I feel about it. Could be wrong, but that's my opinion.

So you know we love talking movies around here. You know we love talking comedy around here. We also love talking about classics around here.
So, you know what I'm all about. That said. All of that said. You know how I must have felt when I was sitting in the movie theater like I was the other day watching the previews, and up came a preview. for the naked gun.
with Liam Neeson as Frank Greben, Junior. That Preview had me at hello. I loved police squad back in the day. I loved the naked gun back in the day. And here comes the naked gun once again with yes, Liam Neeson as Frank Drebin Jr.
Come on now, son of the celebrated police squad, Lieutenant Frank Drebbin from the original movie, Paul Walter Hauser's in this movie, also Pamela Anderson. Guess who also makes an appearance? WWE superstar. Cody Rhodes, and the producer of the movie is Seth McFarlane, the creator of The Family Guy. Come on now.
This is going to be so much fun. I'm excited to see The Naked Gun in theaters on August 1st.
So. What do you do on August 1st? Of course, you're going to a theater near you and you're seeing the naked gun. I might even be there. You're 6'7, correct?
Is that what you're okay? And you're from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Born and raised.
So, did you ever try football? Did anybody ever say throw you out there on the field as a tight end or something like that? Or yes, being from Tuscaloosa, you know, it was, you know, we seen football day in and day out.
So, as a child, you want to do what you see. And that was my goal and plans, you know, until I was in college and I had a daughter that was on the way that was born with Spina Bifida.
So, you know, it's just like the same, like. But for me, it's like Sometimes when you have plans, but God has other plans for you. And those plans that I had set for myself, He's seen it in another light, a different way. And I found one of my purpose. You know, at that point in time in my life, coming up, having a child that was born with a disorder, you know, it was very tough.
It was difficult. being that you're young yourself, and then you can only pray for a healthy child, and then when you don't get that, You gotta, you gotta, you gotta. You got to share responsibilities and do what you got to do as a human being in general and as a father, you know. And I love being a father. You know, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be in boxing.
You know, I'll probably be... You know, in Football or basketball or something like that, but having her, she changed. My world completely, and I'm forever grateful for her because I wouldn't be in this position. I probably wouldn't even be here. Who knows where I'd be without my children, man?
They're blessings. Many people say when you have kids and not playing, that, you know, there's a mistake, but no child is a mistake, you know. And I just love it. Being a father is number one for me. Even my two-year-olds understand boxing.
All my kids will be at the fight. And my two-year-olds will say, I want to go see Daddy Boom Boom. We are back here on the Seth Rollins show. Feels good, man.
Sounds good. Feels good here with my boys, Chris, Jason, TJ. Phone lines lighting up over here. We do have some callers waiting. We will get to them.
It's going to be awesome. Very excited. Hopefully, they've consolidated their questions into single questions today. But before we do that, we have a special guest on the show today. He has a huge.
Fight. Coming up. I want to get the date right. September 13th of this year. against Canelo.
Alvarez Huge, huge fight. It is at Allegiance Stadium, the site of WrestleMania, this past year and next year, coming up. Um It's going to be on Netflix, which is very cool. We've had a few sporting events streamed on Netflix now. They've all seemed to gone very well.
Um, Got the stuff sorted as far as the streaming situation so we don't have any lag or slowdown, hopefully. He is the one, the only. Terrence, Bud, Crawford. Terrence, what's up man? Do you w should I call you Terrence or Bud?
What do you prefer? Your perfects, whatever you want to call me. I like Bud, man. Bud's cool. I dig Bud.
Where did the Bud's nickname come from? What is that? My mom naming that when I was probably like one years old, you know, so. Stuck with it. Just stuck, man.
Just stuck. And where did you grew up in Omaha? Is that right? Omaha, Nebraska? Born and raised.
Are you still there? You still live there? Still there, dude. My man, Midwestern boy, I love that. I'm from Iowa, Davenport, Iowa, right down I-80.
Oh, yeah. So, you're about two hours away. Oh, no, Des Moines, two hours. I'm on the other side of the state. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Probably like four. That's right. That's right. If we're going a little over the speed limit, we can get there for so big fight coming up, September 13th. Where are you at as far as your training is concerned and your preparation for this fight coming up?
What's your day-to-day look like? How are you feeling? What are you doing to get ready? Like, where are you at in your stages of preparation? I'm good.
You know, we in Colorado Springs right now. We already had our first workout of the day. You know, we got another one here this afternoon and You know, it's all about working and recovering and eating. That's pretty much it, and resting. How long are your fight camps?
How long do they usually last for? Uh, some of them different, you know. Uh, mainly about eight weeks.
Okay. All right. That's and you guys are in you're in Colorado, so I assume the elevation, that's the thing, the altitude. You want to get that blood oxygenated for that cardio, right? Yeah, for sure.
And is that something that you've done is that a new thing or is that something that you've done for a lot of your fights? I've been doing this since twenty thirteen, before I was even You know. World champion.
So we're used to it by now.
So 2013.
So did you notice a specific difference, a very big difference when you train at altitude versus when you don't? Uh A little bit, but my main reason coming out here was to get away.
Okay. mine and you know be away from everybody and everything back at home and just focusing on boxing.
So, for you, how much is the mental part of what you do and your mental preparation? As important as your physical preparation. If it's a big mental switch for you to get out there and be. on your own. Oh, it's definitely, you know, um, something that w That goes hand in hand with being away from your family and your friends and Being not being able to be comfortable and And you know, your natural habitat.
You know, of course, we're comfortable now because we've been coming here for years, but at the same time, we know once we get to Colorado, it's all business.
So I got some questions for you.
Alright, I'm looking at this record you got here. You are undefeated. You are undefeated in the professional boxing ring. You have never lost. I got to know.
First of all. As an amateur, were you undefeated as well? Have you ever lost a fight? When was the last time you lost a fight? No, I lost as an amateur a few times.
You know, I lost that my last loss was at the Olympic trials. In 2007.
So you haven't lost a fight. That is unbelievable. I got to know what's that. What does that feel like? What does it feel like to be undefeated?
Uh Is it something you put thought into? Is it something that even crosses your mind when you're signing up for another fight? Like when this fight was brokered, booked, you and Canelo, does it cross your mind? Ooh, my undefeated streak is on the line. Does it anything.
to you or is it just a a fight? No, uh actually, you know, I never think about You know, um myself just being undefeated. Always, you know. look at it like it's z zero zero. you know going First round.
You know, because, you know, I could be the favorite, but in my mind, I'm the underdog.
So, just like to this fight, you know, I'm the underdog.
So, you know, I'm going in there. You know. as if I'm the underdog to go out there and prove a point. No, he is not the underdog. You are not the underdog in this fight.
There is no way. Do we have a betting line on this? Is there a betting line? Stand by. Yeah, let's get a betting line on this because I can't believe your mindset.
That's how you approach it. You just go in every time like you are the underdog. And does that chip on your shoulder kind of help you prepare? Does it give you a different type of focus when you get in the ring? For sure, you know, it gives me that mental edge to keep pushing a little bit harder because, you know, I'm already down.
Two rounds, you know, being that the popularity and the person that I'm going up against is. In the higher weight class than me.
So, you know, in my mind, I'm already down two rounds. I gotta make up for. you know, those two rounds with with the work that I put in. uh going going into this fight. That mindset is, I dig that.
I like that. Another thing that's a little bit different about this fight for you. You are moving up weight classes for this.
So you're going to be a little bit heavier for this. Is that do you find Is that good for you? Do you like that? Do you like being able to move up? Are you more comfortable at this weight as opposed to what you normally fight at?
Well, I haven't been at this way in the actual fight before. Yeah.
You know, training, I'm gonna be just fine. Did did you do you like it? You get to eat a little bit more? I don't gotta, you know, start myself and cut muscle and, you know, the thing or worry about weight. That's the that's the bonus of it.
Do you think it'll have an impact on your cardiovascular performance at all? I know when I'm a little bit heavier, I move a little bit slower. And you're a proper supreme athlete, so you might not have that issue. But for me, I move a little a little slower and I'm a little heavier. No, I think I think, you know, it'd benefit me, come fight not.
I'm excited for this, man. I'm hyped about this. Another question, and this is just me. Like, you know, all athletes, you seem like an extremely humble person for a dude who hasn't been beaten in a fight in 20 years. Maybe that comes with the territory because you're going to worry about nothing, right?
But. Are you the greatest fighter of all time in your eyes? No, not no. No, you don't think that you don't think I'm the best. Do you think you're the best right now?
I do think I'm the best right now, but The greatest of all time. That's Muhammad Ali Spa. Did you have a list of guys who were like, these are the greatest fighters that have ever lived? Like, do you have people that you look to and think that about? Um As fans, yeah, you know, you got you got Ali.
You got Floyd Mayweather, you got Roy Jones Jr., you got Sugar A. Robinson. You got Sugar um Sugar Ray Leonard. You got Roberto Duran. you know um Marvin Hagler.
Yeah, so many fighters. You know that you can put up there You know, you just can't can't name one. That's fair. That's fair. So, how long have you been?
When did you get into boxing? How old were you? What sucked you in, man? What was your thing? Why did you want to do this?
Well I started boxing at seven years old. N uh not knowing that my dad and my uncle's and my grandpa's. use the box.
So, you know, um The owner of the gym actually lived behind. My grandma stopped me one day and asked me was I interested in boxing in. Yeah.
You know, he came to my house and Say what's up to my mom then while I'm in the middle of telling. telling her that some guy in the van was trying to talk to me, you know. I was like, oh yeah, your dad and they unboxed for him and The rest is history. Did you take to it just right away? Was it something you got in the gym and you're like, oh man, I'm good at this?
I love this. Or was it like. I'll just fall. It was just fun.
So when I first went in there, you know, it was just something to do. You know, because that was the first sport that I ever Wow. Tried.
So going in there, you know, I liked it to fight.
So I always wanted to spar. Let's go, let's get in the ring and spar. Let's spar. Let's spar. Let me hit the speed bag.
Let me punch the bag. You know, I used to get in trouble because I used to didn't follow the rules. Before it I dig that. the fighting aspect about it, you know, it was all just fun to me.
Okay, all right, so a big fight is this is this uh fight with Canelo's you would you consider this the biggest fight of your career coming up? Yeah, by far. By far. By far, you say. Yes.
All right. So we're in a stadium here, Allegiance Stadium. Again, September 13th, live on Netflix. The world will be watching. You were in Allegiance Stadium earlier this year for WrestleMania here.
Yeah.
Did you enjoy it? Did you have a good time? Which night did you go to? Night one, night two, both nights? What would you do?
I went for both nights and, you know, it was great, you know, to actually be in their arena and actually get to see everything and just visualize myself fighting in that arena.
So, you know, it was a good experience. Are you a professional wrestling fan? Or did you just go? You know, you are, yeah.
Well, for sure. You know, I've been watching WWF when I was. Oh, all right. Did you have any childhood favorites? Undertaker.
Undertaker. Nice, nice, nice. We should get Dead Man to walk you out. You know what I mean? We should get Dead Man in September to walk you out.
That'd be great, man.
Okay. All right, last question for you. Last question for you. Any predictions? I know sometimes boxers are famous for these.
Any predictions for this fight? What are you feeling? A victory. A victory. Doesn't matter how you get it, you're just going to win.
High recall. By any means necessary. That's a fact. Ah, I love it, man. I am excited.
I'm looking forward to it. Again, I'm envious. I have been defeated many, many times in my life in my career. Matter of fact, I think I've lost more than I've won, possibly. You're undefeated, Shrika.
You don't even have one. I do not have an undefeated. In the last match, you lost. I lost. Yeah, I lost the last match to L.A.
Knight. Wow, wow. Wow. But Terrence Crawford, undefeated September 13th, Allegiance Stadium live on Netflix for the world to watch against Canelo Alvarez. Biggest fight of your career.
We wish you the best of luck. Thank you so much for joining us. Hopefully, I'd love to be there, man. I'd love to come see it. I've never been to a big-time boxing fight.
It's right down the road in Vegas, man.
So maybe we'll have to talk to Nick Conn and see if we can work something out. For sure. Pull up. That's going to be a good night. Oh, I believe it, baby.
I believe it. Thank you very much for joining us, man. Enjoy the rest of your day. Enjoy the second or third training session. And enjoy all the extra food you get to eat, my friend.
Thank you. And good luck in September. Wow, undefeated. I know. I know.
You see that number 41-0. You see the O, and you're like, oh, dude. You want to put it on the line? A big fight like this? Canelo.
Going up in weight. You asked what the odds are. Yeah, what are we at? He is an underdog. Canelo's minus 205.
Bud is plus 160. Canelo is the favorite in this fight. 2-1. That's shocking. Is that shocking?
I'm sort of shocked. I thought it would be a little closer. I don't know what. Is it the weight class situation? I think it's Bud going up in weight.
Yeah, that's Canelo.
So it's Canelo's normal weight class that he's fighting. I mean, plus, Canelo's going up to heavyweight at a certain point.
So he's used to fighting at a little heavier weight. Are you telling me Canelo has fought at heavyweight? Yeah.
That's bonkers. Or at least light heavyweight. Light heavyweight. Maybe a heavy weight. Oh, man.
So there might be like a power advantage there. Right. And TG and I were talking too. You know, Canelo's got a chin, man. He doesn't get put down.
This sounds like it's going to be a good fight. I think it's going to be one of the best fights we've seen in years. I'm, whoa, okay. Your question: you're talking like this is Markey, right? This is the one.
This should be our generation's like Hagler Hearns or Hagler Leonard. Like, you're talking about two of the very best, if not the best, fighters in the world right now going to the bank. Roffer's 37.
So, you know, he's got an. Age disadvantage, I guess. Canela's, you know, younger, but Is Canelo a little bit younger? A little bit younger, 34 for Canelo. Wow.
But Canelo's got like a million fights, he has so many fights. Canelo's fought a lot. He's fought a lot. Canelo is actually, his birthday is tomorrow. He'll be 35 tomorrow.
Oh, happy birthday. And he did light heavyweight. I said heavyweight. I'm sorry. Light heavyweight.
He fought Sergei Kovalev and he beat him at light heavyweight. This is a big fight. Kudos to, I think my boy Nick Khan, WWCO, actually helped get this fight off the ground. It's great because you don't see these types of super fights come together. Usually there's a lot of issues, mostly financial, obviously.
But these things don't really happen. Not anymore. The fact that these two guys and Bud willing to put that undefeated mark on the line, that's. Credit to him. I love that mindset though.
Like, I have I'm scared for him. Yeah.
You know, like I see the O and I'm like, I'm scared. Don't do it. Just stay retired. Just stay, just stay awesome and undefeated. You know, don't do it.
Don't take the chance. But I love that. I love the fact that he's just like, nah, man, I'm 0-0. Like, I'm behind. I'm an underdog.
Dude, what? What are you talking about? Like, I'm reading this sheet. I'm looking at these stats. I'm not the biggest boxing guy in the world.
I'll put that out there right now. But I'm so impressed that this laundry list of how incredible this dude is. Like, first male boxer in history to become undisputed champion in two-way classes during this four-belt era. I don't know what the four-belt era is.
Well, WBE. And moving up, like, putting your undefeated streak on the line, moving up two-way classes, fighting in a stadium on Netflix. Like, the pressure is on. And he's like cool as a cucumber. He's just like, yeah.
Super cool. He's cool as a cucumber. I can do whatever I want. Yeah, I guess, you know, it's. Good for me.
I mean, Canelo's got 67 official fights. He's 63, 2-2. Yeah, but his amateur career, he had, I think, 100 or so. Yeah.
But I haven't looked forward to a boxing match this much since Canelo and Triple G the first time around. Like, wow. I feel like I could sit down with that dude and. Just talk shop. Because I'm so curious about the mindset.
Look, here, you know what? We did breaking news yesterday. I'll give you a little, this is not terribly breaking news. Oh, do we want the drop? Do you want to wait for the drop?
This isn't as cool. This isn't. Breaking news. How to make up for being late on yesterday. What's up, Jay?
Out of my way. Breaking news. All right, breaking news. I've never actually been in a real fight. I've never been in like a fist fight.
Yeah, I've never done it in my life. Never, ever, ever. Oh, I mean, you say that, but you've also been in the ring with Brock Lesnar, and that seems like that would be a real fight. I know. You know, there are things a little bit different than that thing.
And I, but I've never just gotten to a scuffle in a bar. I've never, none of that. Never. Because no one's stupid enough to pick a fist. I've never thrown.
Well, now they will be because they know that I got nothing. That bar fight thing. We have a good question on our pod about that. Before the show's over, I got a question for you. This episode is brought to you by Navy Federal Credit Union.

All the times we got our butts kicked and we're going to do a players-only meeting and then just go get our butts kicked some more. You know, going through all of that. I'll tell people this: Troy Emmett, me, we never. Never had a falling out, never had an argument, never had a fight, because we knew what it was like building it from the bottom. And that's the thing that made us.
As good as we were. We all knew what the mission was, and we all bought into the game plan of transforming an organization from one to 15. to a championship organization and Jimmy was at the helm of it. I knew once I got there what the expectations were going to be. I just did not know how difficult it was going to be to get all of that together.
But through that whole entire process. We grew together. We matured together. We played at a high level together and we lost together. We went through a lot together.
And so that team itself was built inside out. and it was built to go out and destroy whatever it was in front of.
Now we competed at the highest level amongst ourselves, which made us ready for anybody and anything that was out there. That's why we were different.
So people look at us and they ask us, how about the Kerron Cowboys? They ain't gone through this. Right. They haven't had to deal with the 115. They don't even know what it's like.
And anything in 15. I don't mind some of Jimmy's old tricks. You know, when we lost in Washington, we should have won the game. We lost in Washington. That poor lady was trying to feed us on the airplane.
Jimmy said, you take that damn food and put it away. If they were hungry, they should have ate on the football field. In every away game, every away game, we get late in the game. I used to come to the line to do, we gonna eat a night. We're gonna eat a night.
Cause y'all know y'all lose this game. Ain't no food served on that day. You know. So play for your supper. Five hours before the game.
You eat five hours before the game every day.
So now you play the game, you exhaust, everything's gone. You want some food. You want some food. And if you didn't win that game, ain't no food. You want no party leave?
Whoa, nothing. Nothing. You got a ride to play like. Play was quiet. Whole time.
I didn't see it work. I'll never forget the one time we did lose to Washington. but we was coming back. I b I've maybe come back from from DC. And there's a little noise on the plane.
Poor Jimmy went off. He came back there. Went off. I saw him. He had just got done watching the live feed.
He came back there man and and and robbed I mean, everybody. Everybody here is on the block. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to call her no name, but everybody. Everybody here is on the block.
Shut up and shoot out. If you say another word, I'm going to cut you before the plane lands. He said that. He said that. We sit back there like this.
Dude, damn.
So you get in the fourth quarter you like Joker. We ain't what y'all gonna do now? We talking you either whoop these Jokers or we're gonna deal with that Joker. Let's go and and it was always easy just what they asked It's one of those things where you had to go outside whoop somebody behind and then come back to the house and say mama we did what we meet now Yeah. Yeah, what's up, guys?
Back here on the Seth Rollins show. Yeah.
What's going on with Rashe Rice? Yeah, breaking news. It's kind of just coming over. Adam Schaefer reporting that the Chiefs' wide receiver, Rashid Rice, sentenced to 30 days of jail time and five years probation. For his role in the multi-car crash last year, if you remember on the Dallas Highway, he was going, what, 120 and then left the scene of the crime.
The Dallas judge told Rice that he can serve the jail time at any point during the five-year probationary period.
So it remains to be seen when he will serve that 30 days of jail time. But now that this is concluded legally, Got to wait for the NFL to come down. Got to expect he's going to get a multi-game suspension. Of course, he's recovering from a torn ACL suffered. early last year.
Wow. What 30 days at any point during the five-year probationary period? Can he just do a day here and a day there? Can I break this up, Judge? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How does this work? I ain't trying to spend 30 seconds in jail, let alone 30 days, man. Love that thought. Got to assume it's 30 consecutive days. Consecutive, right?
Yeah.
Okay. You got to ask, though, right? Yeah, I mean, it certainly crossed my mind. Treat it like the Army Reserves. Maybe you get to just do like two weekends a month and then work the time.
Like the National Guard? Yeah, well, that's what I didn't know. I had no idea. I've never heard a sentence come down that way.
So that was my first question: how do we break this down?
So it was unclear when he was going to come back, if he'd be ready for week one, but now you got to expect when he is back, suspension. There's got to be a suspension, right? Yeah, for sure. It seems like he's going to be out half the year, maybe.
So. Big blow to that Chiefs offense. Yeah, yeah. You think half the year, you say.
Well, I'm thinking maybe he wasn't going to be ready for week one anyway, coming back. When did he tear the ACL? Week four.
Okay. So that would have been October? Roughly? Yeah.
Roughly October. Uh. Uh nah, he could have been ready by week one, I would say, depending on how bad the rest of the day. Yeah, depending. But And the rehab.
He's going to be out a good amount of time. I got four games minimum, right? Suspension, something like that? Maybe soon. I would, yeah.
Maybe probably four, two to four, right? Two to four, maybe? We'll see. We'll see. But either way, that is a big blow to the Chiefs' offense.
So we'll see how that goes. I mean, he's their, he's their, I mean, he's a weapon. I mean, he's a huge weapon. Beast. Also depends on what kind of prison they're going to send him to.
Like, is he going to country club? Is he going to jail? Is he going to prison? There are a lot of.
Now I'm wondering, like, how's he going to serve this time? Like, you know, I'm sure he's not going to be in a maximum. No, he's not a super max. No, no, no, he's not giving him the country club. He's going to do it probably after the season ends.
Just get it over with and be done. Yeah, I imagine it'll be sometime this summer or whatever. Or do you wait and wait and wait and hope it gets put it off? Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I defer.
I don't know. I don't know. Hope that there's a terror and they forget. I don't know. That's tricky.
Can we squeeze a caller in before we wait? Let's squeeze a caller. Take a caller. Any caller. Take a call.
Let's go to Turzo. Why too? This is our guy. What's up, buddy? What's up, guys?
Hey, Seth, man, it is a pleasure to be able to talk to you, my man. I'm a big fan. I love what you do with the WWE, man. You just crush it and you rock it, my man. Thank you, sir.
Appreciate that. Tarzo, how are you leading and not telling Seth where you're from right off the bat?
Well, I'm from Colorado, TJ, but I do live in Des Moines. Damn. I've made my life here in Iowa. Good man. Good man.
Turns out we got a minute.
So. Okay, so real quick. With Rasheed Rice, he's going to be doing that in county jail. It's not going to be any fancy jail or anything like that. He's more likely not going to break it up.
Got it. But Seth, real quick question for you, and then I got one thing about week sixteen. The first question for you is when did you actually think that you made it when you got to the WWE? I don't know that I've made it yet. You know, the big one probably um probably WrestleMania, first WrestleMania.
First time you step out in front of all those people. We were at MetLife Stadium, you know, twenty thirteen, January, it was or uh March, it was incredible. Incredible staring across the ring from Randy Orton and Seamus and Big Show. I mean, it's, you just, it doesn't, you know, you're there. You're in WrestleMania.
You're on the marquee. We opened the show that year, too.
So that was the one for me. I think I was like, oh, I'm a WWE wrestler now. Wow. That's freaking awesome.
So week sixteen. your Bears come to play my Niners, and I'm going to have to tell you You're going to be looking at the end there at the fourth quarter, and you're going to be smelling. Terzo, don't even start with me. Bear up, bear down. You don't stand a chance.
For you, Bob. We're coming for you. Hey, if you're ever in Desmondes, look for a bar called Carl's. We'd love to have you down there. We'll do.
Thanks, Terzo. Awesome. Yeah.
See, buddy. Apparently, we're big in Carl's. We're always on at the bar, so they know what's down in there. All right. Okay.
I like that. I like that. I've never been to Carl's. I don't know where that's at. I hope that's in a good part of town.
I think it probably is. Des Moines got like, it's tricky. Des Moines as well. You know, some parts, you know, real nice, real nice. Like some of those Midwestern cities, like Des Moines and Omaha, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, really on the come up.
Still, some parts of it, not so great.
So avoid those bar fights. Yeah.
Let's go line four, Jay Felly. Ross in New Jersey. What's up, Ross? Ross. Hey, what's up, man?
Uh, good talking to you, big fan of yours. Thank you, man. I appreciate it. What you got?
So uh real quick question, I know you got other callers. Um you know, twenty fourteen, when you came up with the shield and all that, right, that was kind of like the heyday when I became a fan of it too. And if I had to point to like one pay-per-view, which I don't know if you remember it as much as I do, twenty fourteen, Extreme Rules, you have the match with evolution, and that was like that. And Daniel Bryan came later that night was like the whoa. This bleep is awesome to me.
I was like eight, nine years old at the time. And now looking back 10 years later, all of you accomplished, you brought up the money in the bank cash in 2015. I remember that like it was yesterday. Um Y you know, you look now at the faction you got with Braun and Bronson Reed. How would you kinda compare it to the shield when you first came up with Roman and Dean?
And was like when you built up this faction out that you got with those two, Paul Heyman and them, was there like any kind of resemblance uh of the shield in mind, like all these years later? And I know you kinda have the callbacks, like at the last two manias. by the way, I know Cena and Rock came out and Undertaker as well, but your kind of your callback to the betrayal, which like on a random twenty like twenty fourteen raw after payback, I think it was, which is crazy that it kind of landscaped the modern day company. Um, like, how do you kind of compare your faction now with Bronson and Breaker to the shield that you came up with all these, you know, all those years ago? Appreciate the time, man.
Yeah, Bronze. Thanks, Ross. Thank you. Thank you. Historian there.
He's got it all. Love it. You know, look, the shield was special. It was a very unique thing. But the one thing, the common thing.
That sort of brought us all together was the work ethic. You know, we all had the same goal in mind. We all wanted to put in the same amount of effort to get to that goal, which was to change the face of the industry. We wanted to kind of rewrite the whole thing, make the generation ours. And the thing that I see in Braun and Bronson is that they.
Feel the same way, right? They want to be the next big thing, and I want that for them. And so here we are. Round two, baby. Let's go.
We're coming back with more from the Seth Rollins Show. Yeah.
