Shea Jackson Jr. A. K. A. Petty Guerrero Hey yo, it's me, it's me, it's the T-double-O.
That J-I-G-G 2 J TJ Jefferson. What up, man? I feel like I ain't seen you or talked to you in a minute, yo. What's cracking with you? I know, man.
I'm almost finished. I'm almost finished, man. I'm. Um Got about two weeks left of filming. And then I'm gonna be back home.
annoying the hell out of you. And just causing havoc at the Ridge Eisen show. You know, since he got on. Since he got on Disney Plus. I've been invited for a call.
I can't get no like. Shout out to Shay Tex.
So I'm coming in there. Break the glass. Stone Cold is here as soon as I get back. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
I mean, you're never available for a phone call nor a tech.
So if we wanted you to call on, you'd miss it anyway.
So listen, damn it, it's the thought. You know, I at least want to be invited. I'll tell you I can't come, but it's the invite. You know, I got low self-esteem. Oh, that's like me, man.
I always want to be invited to the party. I ain't going, but I at least want an invite. You know what I mean? Exactly. At least let me know you thought about me.
So let me let me tell you about this weekend, though, before we get in all this wrestling stuff. Let's talk another combat sport. You know, I was in Vegas this weekend, bro. Back at a back at the Legion Stadium. Watching the Carnello Crawford fight, bro.
It was uh, it was an experience, dog. It was an experience, yeah. Yeah, yeah. It was an experience because your black self won a fight. You know, it was good stuff.
You know, I went with my boy Wilmer Valderama. We got hooked up by Netflix. Hey, school, tap high school. I say Wilmer got hooked up, and then, you know, he calls me. It was funny if I could share the story with me, which you he called FaceTime me the other like couple days ago.
He was like, what are you doing on Saturday? I said, believe it or not, man. I said, I'm trying to get like a press pass to maybe go see this Crawford Canelo fight. He goes, really?
Okay, he goes, Well, what I wanted to ask you is: uh, I mean, do you want to go to the fight with me? And I'm like, Yeah, forget that press match.
So yeah, man, we we went and um It was dope, bro. We uh, they had us, they had us in the third row. Got to, I was sitting shave. Let me explain this to you right in front of me. Michael Irvin.
And Charlie Sheen sitting next to each other. And my whole thought that night was like: in 1998, you know, the party that these two would have to do. Oh, my God. It wouldn't have been nice. I can promise you.
Vegas would have been burned to the ground. Oh, my goodness. But yeah, man, it was dope. Saw Marshawn Lynch there. I reminded him about you, and he was like, oh, that's right.
We're, you know, bro, I saw Angel Reese in person. Hamburg. Man, I don't care what nobody says. People be trying to say stuff. Yo, I'm 6'3, right?
She's about a solid. two, three inches taller than me. You know what I mean? And yeah. Bet your ass felt safe.
Hey. Hey, hey, let me Hey, okay, that's all I'm gonna say about that. But yeah, fight was great. Crawford, he, you know, he just showed that skill set is just a step above, bro. He can't teach speed.
obviously but the technique the precision the timing Canelo's one of the greatest of all time, man. And he went out there and he put it on him on Saturday night. It was pretty amazing. It really was. Absolutely.
You know, I was Here getting ready. Getting ready for my week of filming. And then I was like, man, wait. I think the fight is on. It was like 1 a.m., bro.
What came on late there, right? Yeah. My goodness. And I'm like, all right, but. It's all right.
I'll stay up for a victory. And, you know, I love Canelo. There's been many times that I. I've gone for Canelo. Shout out Saudi.
Oh, yeah. No doubt. Canelo's the father. Yeah, dude. And I love that even after the fight.
Uh Terrence made sure that he was the one to give. Yeah. You know, that's just the, you know, that's what you like to see. You like to see that warrior sportsmanship. And yeah, dude, it's a great fight, one for the ages.
Um, Canelo, I know he doesn't want to go out into the sunset on a loss, so I'm sure he's gonna continue to fight, but. I don't know about that rematch, bro. I don't think that's what happened. I mean, it'll probably happen because there's too much cash money, speaking of Wilmer, to let that slide. You feel me?
I'm a little bit of a flex here. I was talking to Ted Sarandos, you know, had a Netflix before the fight. And I was talking to him and telling him, you know, I think like this. Could probably be the most viewed fight of all time. And he was like, from your lips to, so I don't know what the final numbers are, but you got to imagine.
The numbers got to be up there, right? The amount of watches fight. And it was cool also to see, like, kind of the. the mind game warfare being played, you know, Bud comes out. with a mariachi band.
Carrying the guitar case, desperado style dress. Desperado, one of my favorite movies of all time. Shout out Salmon Hayek just because. When they played the music, I was like, word, and then he came out. And Wilmer's like, wait a minute, is he carrying a guitar case?
And I was like, guitar case. Oh my God. You know, and he immediately recorded it, sent it to Robert Rodriguez, who, of course, you know, wrote and directed Desperado Rodriguez. Two flexes on him. But yeah, man, it was.
That was an interesting way to come out, because you remember at one point, Eminem. Walked into the ring once.
So I was thinking, I really was expecting, oh, maybe we'll get some M. You know, I'm waiting for, you know, lose yourself or, you know, what I'm saying until I collapse. And then the mariachi happened. And, you know, I've got bad memories of mariachi because what Carl Anthony Towns did, you know, using a mariachi band to sing Fly Eagles Fly to me. That was some BS, but you know.
We gotta get him back some kind of way, bro. We gotta figure that out. But, like, right now, I got Saquon and I got Jalen Hurts.
So. Fly, Eagles, fly, baby. Yeah, I just want to touch on that. You know, get a little another, you know, combat in there. Great fight if you haven't seen it.
Check it out. And you will see me there. You will see me. Me and Wilmer are both like the whole night, bro. Text messages, screenshots, screen recordings.
Everyone's like, you're on TV. And I want to sound like an idiot, right? But I'm like, Without being like an air, like I'm on TV every day. Why are you doing it? I'm on TV every day, boy.
Talking to me like I'm just some, like, you're talking to average Joe, baby.
Well, I am average Joe. There's no doubt about that. But you know what I'm saying? Average Joe don't get on TV every week, and he's definitely not co-hosting the no contest vessel podcast. The only wrestling podcast on ESPN right now.
Say it one more time because I may have stepped. on you when you said it. Yeah, I'm just saying, we're the only wrestling podcast on ESPN right now. You know, let the mouse know. Let the mouse know.
Can I get it one time? Two. Talk to me.
So before when we get started, you know, we got some. I put on Twitter, Instagram, that we had an exciting announcement coming up, man. And, um, This is amazing. It truly is.
Well, you know, and yo, I'm going to let my brother shade. I'll fill in the blanks and let him paint this broad picture for you, G. Oh, oh, oh, oh, you're talking about our trip. Our trip. Yes.
Yeah, you know, you put it out there. You know, a lot of people believe it. Manifested. I know I do. You know, you know, absolutely.
And I know, TJ, you were talking about this last weekend, but we got to tell y'all about this weekend coming up because you're official. It's official, like a referee with a whistle. Yes, sir. We will be in Indiana for WrestlePalooza. The first.
On the Entertainment Sports Network, that is ESPN, your boys from NCW. Will be in the building. TJ. How do you like that? You know, we're going to be there.
For the historical First event, the first meeting, the first marriage between ESPN and the WWE. We're going to be there, but. We're not just going to be there, folks. Yeah. Okay.
We're not just going to be there because you know a lot of you. By the way, unfairly and very wrongly have claimed.
Well, you guys are on the WWE payroll. No. never Never took a dime, never nothing. But we are on the ESPN payroll. Yes, I am.
Because of that. O Shay Jackson Jr. and TJ Jefferson, no contest wrestling podcast, co-host. We have been selected. to do something really cool folks and that is We will be hosting a one-hour digital exclusive show as a pre-show.
To the official WWE pre-show.
So we are going to be the pre-show. to the pre-show, all right? It's amazing, man, that there'll be four. The five Eastern, one hour, four to five uh p.m. Eastern, one to three Pacific on ESPN's YouTube page, and also, I believe.
Facebook will also be uh you know, putting this out digitally. You know, we're going to be there, man. We're going to be the pre-show to the pre-show. You know what I say? This week we're mopping floors.
Next week, it's the fries. You know what I'm saying? We cut it up, baby. We cut it. Crew chief, and before you know, we're going to be on the grill, and that's when we'll start making the big money.
But yeah, man, this is. I'm kind of in shock, Joe. I really am. I'm not in shock because I truly believe these things were coming for us. But now that it's actually happened, and you know, I got the email, and you see it's official, and there's a guy, Glenn Jacobs, from ESPN, who at first I thought, what is Kane doing here?
But it's not that Glenn Jacobs, it's another Glenn Jacobs. But very excited, bro. Congratulations to you. Congratulations to everyone who helps us out. putting this together.
Thank you, Rich. Thank you, Jerome, Jerry Silberitz, Agent to the Stars, you know. Thank you, Don Bowie. Like I said, I whipped out the whole crew last week. But yeah, this is dope, man.
Yeah, it's a beautiful thing. You know, it's an amazing opportunity. We know, as you guys know, We're going to entertain the way that we do. And also, you know, we're going to get a lot of new eyes on the show, on the pod. And it's just an amazing opportunity.
And I'm very grateful that I get to do it with somebody who I consider one of my best friends. Through this little year that we've had. You know, you and I have become, we boys, bro. We boys.
Now look at us. You know, we are ESPN. We're going to be uh Doing our thing in Indiana, we might even be able to sneak a no-contest episode with some guests in there. I think that's the plan. I think that is, I think that's the plan.
And then also get to go to the event, which should be a historical event. We're going to run down the card for you today. You know, it, you know, how hard go-home shows be. But I do want to say this: because we are part of the Mouses House, and there's always been talks about us working for WWE. Let me tell you guys something.
The day I worked for W. We. Trust me, you gonna know.
So don't think about it right now. You think I wouldn't tell you everything? You're not paying attention, bro. But right now, we just, we just, we just a couple of guys. Yeah, we just a couple of guys talking, rest.
This is our 50th episode, folks. Yeah, 50. 50. And it seems like it's gone by really quick. Bro, in a rat.
Just like that. But that's what happens when you do what you love. And this was a. This is one thing because I had reached a point with acting. Where Hollywood scared me.
And not in a sense, like all the boogeymen that y'all be thinking about, but like the fact that pizza shops? I mean, like, dude, I don't even go outside the house. But, uh, For The strike to have happened, I didn't like that. It scared me. And I like to say that.
A lot of people don't realize What their talent is, or what they're good at, because it comes so easy to them. And so I had to really look at what do I do? That I don't even see as work, that it can be flipped into work. I'm on Twitter every day. Y'all know me.
I'm on Twitter every day. Talking wrestling. And you know, TJ, if you didn't give me the, you know, that nod, that push. in Rich's ear. Who knows where the contest would be?
But I'm grateful for you, my man. Let's continue to another 50 and another 50 and another 50. But first, we got Indiana coming up, man. And also, we have an interview that we've been holding on to that y'all will be able to see. Uh my man Idris and Nofe.
Here we here's a An up-and-comer who has been there, but injury has kind of Postpone the growth a little bit, but now he's healthy. The dude knows his stuff. And athletically gifted, so much. Right, insane, insane.
So, you guys will be seeing that interview today, but Yeah, we like you said we. We put that on a few weeks ago and he was great.
Some of his answers, you know, of course, I'm gonna get ahead of time. I don't know the docs. You know, we're gonna do the bar fight crew, obviously. When you hear his bar fighting, crew, man, it's like oh bet.
Okay, I you went you went in a direction that I wasn't thinking.
So talk about a wrench. But yeah, cool, brother, man. Of course, you know, everyone that comes on takes the time to come on and chop it out with us. We wish nothing but the best for us.
So, yeah, it was definitely a fun interview that we had with him and looking forward to every button. Getting to hear it, you know, and also, you know, I want to have, you know, I'm going to shout out D'Lo. D'Lo's our editor, man. I'm going to have him slip this and pause the interview. But, you know, you talked about hitting you up.
And right now I'm looking at... I'm looking at their DMs from the Rich Eisen show on January the 2nd, 2024. I sent a DM out. And it's right there. You know?
And it was uh O'Shea, what's up? It's TJ from the show. I want to chop it up. I want to chop something up with you. If you see this, can you give me a call or text?
Whenever. And uh that was the first seed. Yeah, that was June the 2nd, 2024. I, you know, had an idea. And then here we are now, September the, you know.
fifteenth. In uh 2025, episode 50. Getting ready to host a. The pre-show to the pre-show, man. And that's pretty dope.
That's an amazing feeling. And digital, we're going to have guest appearances from superstars and commentators, etc. No telling who they're going to give us, no telling who might pop up, man. But we're going to be ready for whoever comes. That's for sure.
I stay ready. I do have to add something. I might I may or may not. Have a surprise for not only our guests, But for you as well in Indiana, if things go the right way. Might have a surprise for you, man.
Okay. I have a weird feeling I think I might There's something just popped in my head. I'm like, I wonder if that's it. I'm not even going to ask you. No.
But if it is, I'm going to tell you one thing: you could be a kendo stick. Yeah. And by the way, we did find out candlesticks can travel.
So maybe I take that as my carry-on. I don't know, you know. Right, they don't know what it is. What's a Kindlestick for? Oh no, this is a Singapore cane, man.
No, no. This is spiritual. I got trouble walking, baby. You know, then I started, you know, this is my workout, my Tai Chi. Don't let Don Bowie get it.
He wow, boy. Yeah, he wants you to hit him with it and act like it don't hurt. Listen, all right.
So yeah.
So that's some cool stuff, man. That's some cool stuff. Last week, we talked about a few of the matches that are going to go down. You know, we talked about obviously. Brock and Cena.
Everybody's on pins and needles about that. I am a little upset they didn't have a promo battle before. Before we got to WrestlePalooza, but what Brock is going to say?
Well, they didn't, but Ron Cena and Brock. And it's just, it's kind of amazing when you see someone as obviously terrifying as Lesnar. And let's be honest, R-Truth is a terrifying human being, too. He just does this in the guise of, you know, he makes you feel at ease, where Brock does not make you feel at ease. But those two always have some, you know, some funny little connection.
And that must tell you how much Brock, I guess. Respects truth because no one else has ever made Brock Lesnar break or smile the way our truth does, man.
So. You know, or and you're wrong, and you're his brother. Yeah, I'm wrong. Yep, to the picture with his dad. And then, of course.
We know Brock's like you're missing a tooth on what? F five Brock Lesnar then rips his jeans. Dude's wearing blue drawers. Like, I guess luckily he was even wearing drawers, but how funny it is that they're blue. He's having a fun time with it, talking to Stu, the cameraman, about him ripping his stuff.
He's in there laughing and giggling. Like, I'm like, this is a weird Brock Lesnar, man. What you're happy about? Yo, you're about to go face the never-before-seen 17, you know? Like, listen, it's hard to act tough when you.
Blew the back of your pants out, bro. If I don't laugh about it now, they just go meme me up later. And yeah, it just talks about the power of Brock Lesnar. Right. And Denham cable, Brock Lesnar.
Glisner? Absolutely not. And yeah, you know, I'm excited to see the match. Obviously, it's another chance. I think Cena, as of now, has six dates left.
Which is crazy to like say because I believe him. I believe him when he says this is it. I'm not coming back. Yeah, and uh I don't know. My heart says, obviously, Sina's going to get this victory.
But my mind is do I really want to say goodbye to Brock? This quick?
Well, not only that. Is he gonna win every match? Like now? I don't know. It would be kind of...
If he loses, I'm not going to be surprised. Let's put that right. I mean, he lost to Cody. He lost to Cody. That might, you know, it's.
Who knows? Who knows? Because your swan song, you know, it ain't always going to go perfect. You know what I mean? Like, there's going to be bumps.
And, you know, yeah, he lost the scene. But I mean, this is the beast. You know what I mean? And every time Brock comes back, it just seems like he beat up John Cena. Like, first, it was after that mania.
With when the Rock defeated Cena for the title, Rock comes back and does that. And then when Roman beat John Cena. Brock came back again, beat up Sita again, and now here we are again. I don't know what. 10 years like when he took his 10-year absence, he came back.
That was the first person. Yeah. I don't know what John did. When Brock come back, He gotta beat up John.
So. You know, everybody will be watching that. And something got teased a little bit tonight that got me thinking. Once again, you guys, we are filming this after Monday Night Raw. There's a few things that.
I feel like we need to touch on a little bit because the Stephanie Vicerre and EO Sky match. Obviously. They've been teasing. A finish to this, what, three, four times now? Yeah, right.
So now it's for. A title. Like now they're has to be a winner. And Yo girl, your favorite of all time is very agitated. Yo, Asuka's on one right now.
And you know what? I didn't say nothing to her. Hey, that's it. Oh, she'll cuss you out for three minutes. You won't know what she said.
But you know it's bad. But you'll know that. You know, because the energy, the energy tells me you're cussing me out. Look, you know, me, like I said, I ain't never blew an Oscar, so whatever she does is. Yeah, but it's making me itch for a Whoever wins this title, I might need to see a triple threat.
Can you imagine a triple threat? What would you do? You might Spontaneously combusts. I mean, it's not between who? Because God.
Ask it. Yep, see? Oh my god, Don.
Somebody call somebody. You won't know what to do. I don't know. I wish I could clip that noise. That will simultaneously be the greatest match of all time and the worst match of all time.
Because, how am I supposed to? You know how I would treat that? And when you say something smart, when I say this, because I know you're about to, I'm gonna reach through this computer. I gotta treat this, and here it comes. I know you're gonna say something, I gotta treat it.
like when i watched the clippers play the sixers right twice a year He's so ignorant. ESPN, you cannot be saying nonsense. Who watches that game? Me? You're gross, bro.
You're disgusting. You know, when the Clippers play the Sixers twice a year, I just sit back and root for good ball. Good play, I clap. When there's bad defense, I'm like, I'm agitated. It's hard for me to, you know, but I just cheer for everything.
And that's with this triple threat. would be, because I think it's going to happen. And if we're going to make a prediction. Unfortunately, men, I'm not saying unfortunately.
Well, kind of unfortunately. I think EO is going to get cost the belt. by Oscar in some way. And that's going to leave La Primero. The Devil's Kiss Yes.
Yeah. as the new women's world champion but then That was set up later on because, as also discovered here on No Contest Wrestling Podcast on the SPM, that Stephanie Vacare named her cat, her pet cat. Oscar And Oscar didn't know it until She saw the No Contest Wrestling podcast. Yes, exactly. It seemed all lovey-dovey and thing.
It was all sweet. Guess what, Shay? It ain't all sweet. No, no, it's not at all. You know That would set up such a mean triple threat, and I also want to say it is.
absolutely disrespectful for you to compare it. to the clippers. Verse Sixers, because in my house we call the Clippers versus Sixers. Chamomile tea, because I broke. Ain't nobody trying to watch that bull crap.
All right. Ego. But care, okay, first of all. Put it in my veins, TJ. First of all, you sound like you need to see Pap there.
Don't be disrespecting my squads like that, man. All right. So they disrespect themselves. Anyway. I think we can see a real feud going in a feud between, you know, in the triple threat situation.
I can still see Viceroy, you know, whoever has the title. Uh coming out on top. But a feud between EO and Asuka might be Four or five crazy matches, man. Crazy matches, crazy chemistry, and just So symbolic. Um Just so much, there's so much story packed behind a feud between EO and Asuka.
And if you can find a way to throw Vacare in there, that's some of the best wrestling that you're going to be able to get. And it would be perfect to have that on the entertainment sports network, like no contest wrestling. All right. Like, no contest wrestling, bro. Entertainment Sports Network.
But yeah, I see Vicar getting this. I see Vicar getting this. You also see. By Oscar costing EO the match. That Protects the EO the care one-on-one still to that day.
because there was interference. It wasn't a fair one. And so you can still play that card down the road. And so, yeah, it just makes the most sense. But what do we know?
Just some guys. Just some fans. you know when you talk you talked about the the history between you know eo And Asuka, and it was great, you know, when kind of Michael Cole was kind of the shackles were taken off of Michael Cole and he was able to really drop knowledge. I remember he made a mention of the triple tails. And I was like, I can't believe Michael Cole just talked about the triple tails on the WWE television.
You know, that was a Japanese women. Uh, Japanese women's faction that was Io Shirai, aka Eo Sky, her sister Mio, and Kana, who is, of course, the goat Asuka. And um So yeah, so that must be. I can't imagine what it's like for those two, right, to be where they're at now on top of the wrestling world as they both are, to look back at how far they've come literally and figuratively from the other side of the world, you know? It it must be an incredible feeling.

We get some of those. I'm getting them all. You know what I mean? Absolutely, man. There's a lot of people that I want to talk to.
Oh, and now watching the game, Justin Herbert just took a little helmet that helmet shot there and that looked like it hurt but uh But yeah, that by the way, those those those it is I can't wait to get those earbuds, man. I guess it really works, man. Yeah, we'll work that out. We'll work that out.
Now, another before we move on, real quick, I'm going to give a shout out to Kyrie, man. Kyrie saying, because. She has been kind of like an underrated MVP through all of this drama. You know, she's the one caught in the middle every week between EO and Asuka, and her just her. Facial reactions, her movements, her genderiness has just been.
Incredible. Today, you know, Asuka just offers her up a match against Stephanie, and Kyrie's like, me, and then she's like, Doing all the money. I love Kyrie Sane, man. She's she's amazing.
So Yeah, this is all going to be fun and it's going to be interesting to see how much longer she stays around taking the abuse because she's kind of getting abused by Asuka, you know, and that's only going to last so long. Um you know that we've seen that in wrestling a thousand times, a million times. Tales as old as time, yeah, song as old as rock. Beauty and Oscar.
Now We got a reunion as well that we are gearing up for. The Uso Penitentiary is back up and running. Back up and run it, but my man Jay, he looks. What is going? Like we talked about this a little last week.
Are they really going to do this? He a little angsty, ain't he? He a little. You know, there's some fire behind those eyes. I know he hit LA Knight with a spear.
I never seen that a J. User. And you know, for those who caught the end a raw, I mean, my man Bronson Reed caught a chair shot from Jay where I was like, bruh. Who is this? And you got Jimmy talking about, you know, he's seeing sprinkles of, you know, that early 2020 tribal chief coming out of Jey Uso.
And, you know, I I I love this exploration of the story. You know, it it puts a little edge on Jay. Yeah, because Jay Uso, when he was going up against Gunther and trying to get the title and the Royal Rumble win. He had that underdog mentality to him. But now this kind of molds Jay into a way of No, I'm not, you know, I'm not Jay that everybody got to get behind for me to succeed.
I'm gonna succeed. On whatever terms I need to. And that right there. is uh is a step that I've didn't know that the company was willing to take just yet.
So it's exciting. You got Big Jim like, hey, hey, hey, little brother? Hold on, dog. Yeah, so it's a. I don't see an Ulafala around your neck.
Which was crazy. Because, like, don't have him thinking like that, man. Touchdown Keenan Allen right now. All right, thank goodness. It's not, what's that do, McCaulkey?
Whatever. I'm going to get it. Ladidi. The DD. Yeah, yeah, I don't want him to get nothing tonight.
But anyway, I'm going against him in fantasy, no disrespect. Yeah, they are going up against Bronson and Bronson, that are our favorite noise firm. Yeah, they're vision. Go to hell. Anyway.
There should be uh Yeah, I'm not, well, you know how I feel. Bron Breaker is a friend of the show. How dare you, sir? Bron Breaker, Solo Dolo. That's my guy.
Bronson Reed, Solo Dolo. That's my boy. We be on Twitter. We be talking crap. That's my guy.
But boy, y'all, when y'all with that Chicago Bear loving. Davenport, Iowa, repin. Said Frick Didden Rollins. It is a pain in my neck, and I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
They're entertaining. I wish you would just give my boy Kobe a shot, man. You know, like. Cool. Oh, Steph, my bad.
My boy said I want y'all, like somebody eventually, we put the episodes in. Eventually, you will have a compilation of all your Your treachery, bro. Because they act like I'll be out here just being mean to TJ. He is a shark. And y'all just think he's just, oh, it's TJ.
No, bro, this dude is a menace and Kobe. That's how y'all know each other, right? That's your friend. Dang, we work together. This is my EO.
We told them all about it last week. They know. Anyway, bro, I hope the Usos whoop ass. That's what I need to see. But you know what's going to happen?
It's going to be a crack in that foundation. LA Knight's going to come out.
Something, you know, the visions win in that is all I'm saying. All right. Well, you know, Jay, Jimmy, I'm rooting for you. Jimmy. I didn't say I wasn't rooting for him, I just told you he's with it.
Right, yeah, Jimmy, it seemed like they trying to punish you. It's because you took Naomi away. I mean, Big Jim, you couldn't have. No, never no, my dog, my dog getting jumped at the end of every rope. He took Naomi away.
What's she supposed to do, man? She keep telling Big Jim not to mess up her hair. Tell, you know, Big Jim might. You know whose fault it is? It's Netflix deal.
She told you Big Jim likes it, Netflix in jail. If Netflix wouldn't have been there, then we'd still have our women's world champion causing the commotion right now. Triple H, I see you, man. You're punishing that man because he took Naomi away. I get it.
I miss you too. But man, a tsunami like every week, a spear. That's crazy. Pray for Jim, bro. Pray for Jim.
Big gym, I mean, we did it. I understand. But bro. I see it writing on the wall. It's kind of like it's kind of like trips is back there like, look what you made me do.
Yeah. Hit him again. Hit him again. We had four months of storylines down the journey and hell of a kid. Yeah, gone, gone.
Yeah, I can't wait to see that. What's the documentary they got on Netflix? Unreal. What's that? Yeah, I can't wait to see that episode of Triple H, just like.
Hit him again. He took Naomi away, hit him again. But let's see the Usos back together. That should be entertaining. Oh, I think Khalil Mac.
You know, we're watching football as we're doing it. I think Khalil Mac might have just broke his arm or his wrist. Wow. Oh, I don't know, man. He got it caught in between, and then he's running off, holding it like this.
He just ran to the tent. We'll see. We'll keep you informed. It's Monday Night Football, ESPN, part of the Rich Eisen show. We talk wrestling, football, boxing.
What you need? We'll talk movies, TV shows. What you want to talk about? Like young blood? You want to talk about.
By the way, do you know that kid Youngblood? Have you paid know anything about him? No. Okay. So That was that.
I just saw a text about something. But yeah, no, he's a. I don't know. He's this kid. TikTok put him in my algorithm and he, I guess, Ozzy Osborne anointed him.
The next guy, but he's like, Oh, that dude. Yeah, he's one of these funny British dudes, man. You know what I'm saying? And he like, like, he'll say something about, yeah, I'm a little naughty. I'm a little naughty.
Yeah, they gotta clip that. I need. You said that was great. I like this young blood kid, man. This kid makes me laugh.
I don't know why we oh, because letting them know that we can talk about anything. Yeah, anything we want, right? We don't understand the sports network. Yeah, so let's get back to it.
So we talked to Fina Lesnar. We talked to Usos and division. We talked to the Women's World Championship.
Now let's talk about a match. I don't know, man. This almost seems, and this shouldn't feel this way. But this match kind of feels like it just got thrown in there. And I'm talking about the undisputed WWE Championship match between our guy, Cody Rhodes, and our guy, Drew McIntyre.
Another match, like, how am I supposed to. You know, I love Cody. I love Drew. What am I supposed to do? Yeah, it does feel, you know, of all titles to feel this way as well.
But very weird, right? We know what Cody doing. We know what Cody doing, bro. Cody's over there. Playing guile.
He's playing guile. And um yeah, I was surprised that he even Gave us the time of day. And it is Against Drew McIntyre, who they know for sure. Gets the job done. Drew.
Is always going to give you Just as soon The best effort possible. He is the best bad guy, like. This just behemoth of a dude who's a jerk to everybody. Then It's just how do you not put him? In title contention, always.
But I will say, even though I It's it's Pretty obvious that Cody's got another run under his belt about to happen right now. I really want to see some gold on Drew eventually again. He's not banger after banger after banger. Banger. Banger.
Can I give a little creative liberty right here? No connection. Drew McIntyre wins the undisputed WWE Championship at WrestlePalooza. She's a shut your mouth from. It's WrestlePalooza.
This is a big deal, right? You gotta have something. You know you're getting. You know, you're getting a new women's world champion. That's obvious, right?
That's definitely going to happen. Huge. I mean, they might want to set this up, this new partnership, this new thing. What if, like, this is WrestlePalooza? What if we get to WrestlePalooza?
You know, 27, 26 years from now, this could be like a huge thing, man. And I would think that, like, You really want something big to happen. Cody is filming a movie. I don't know. I don't think I'd be surprised.
Just had a new baby. Just have a message. Could have looked some time off. Who knows, man? And plus Drew McIntyre, I think we all can agree, man.
Just... It's stretches of, I don't want to say bad luck or misfortune, but like he never has really gotten. You know, it's like M Sim. Eminem said, I don't think he ever truly got the props that he deserved, and I don't think he gets the props that he. Deserves, you know, and um, yeah, I mean, he got the the world title at WrestleMania, you know, for five minutes, but.
I don't know, man. I I just feel like something big should happen. In terms of this, and because of the fact that this match is going under the radar a little bit, I don't know why not, man. I mean, that would be something to look out for. A sneaky, a sneaky nuke right there.
Because when you look at it, Okay, the Women's World Heavyweight title. That's that's up for grabs. That's going to have a new owner. Um Tiffy Yeah, we didn't even talk about that. Tiffy for sure hit her head.
Well, she doesn't even have a match. Process of Paris. And then you got the men's world heavyweight title, not up for grabs, the women's intercontinental title, not up for grabs. And so, yeah, I mean. Wouldn't that for sure secure the internet?
If that were to happen, it's a. I'm not going to say it's a sure shot that Cody wins, but that 1% is looking pretty good now that you've placed it on the radar. We know what manifestation does on the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. Because it's for sure your fault. the vision and all of that nonsense came into fruition.
You jerk? I mean, look, I just said, by the way, weeks before it became obvious it was going to happen. Mentioned that what if Paul Heyman and Seth got together? You told me, Don't bring that up. I said it to Seth.
And Seth came back later. He goes, what made you say that? This was we were in Green Bay. prior to the uh NFL draft. And we brought it up, and he literally asked me that question.
My buddy Colby was like, What made you say that? And I mean, Seth Rollins said, What made you say that? America, does it look like my face gives a damn that they were kicking it in Green Bay? What the hell that got to do with anything? What's personal?
So what? You could have just said that he asked you that, but you want to give details about you and your little friend hanging out, right? We weren't on our 50th episode. We weren't hanging out. He came onto the Rich Eisen show.
This was professional. All right. So, therefore, it was Seth. Oh, you and Kobe? You and Kobe?
Everybody's trying to hear that, dog.
So, you and your friend discussed. putting this group together. Whatever, man. All I'm saying is you have a knack for Uh, making things happen on this show, and if Drew were to get the dub, I wouldn't be surprised. Because you are obviously some sort of black wizard.
Can I share something with you that I went to go tweet and I changed the tweet and I wish I hadn't? And people are going to hear this and be like, oh yeah, right. But I think you'll believe me that I'm telling the truth. Um the day that B Division At the beginning of That card, I wrote a tweet. That said, are we going to see a new?
And then I put in parentheses, WO. Then M.A.N. added to the vision. Because I was thinking, what if it's a girl? And I deleted it and just tweeted something else.
And I would have given anything to why didn't I just hit send on that tweet? But I'm gonna be honest with you, I wasn't even thinking Becky, I was legit thinking. An NXT uh woman would come up something like that. I But the thought of a woman joining was in my mind. I just didn't didn't think it was her, but I man.
Why didn't I just send on that tweet? Yeah, because Lord knows I wouldn't wanna have heard it the following Monday. That's wild. That's why. But That should be.
Let's just get another one, bro. Yeah, of course, Cody has some emotion behind it and. If he's going to go away from filming a little bit, he knows he got to leave us for something good. You know what I mean? And now let's come to I Will this close the show out, do you think?
I don't know. It could, right? But I mean it's it shouldn't it really shouldn't probably shouldn't but Where do you put it in the card? The match we're talking about is the mixtag match between Charles Montgomery, CM Punk, and A.J. Lee against the vision.
Seconds elapsed for sure. Becky Lynch. Seth, I mean, if we're being real, since Cody doesn't have, like, since Cody's you know, taking time off and going in between jobs. The World Heavyweight title has Kind of been the number one story in the company. It's on roll.
And so, yeah, and that with. With AJ's return, I don't know if this shouldn't close out the show. This is like the juiciest thing going right now. It really is. And she's getting the biggest pop right now of any wrestler in the company, right?
So, yeah. And you got CM Punk smiling ear to ear more than ever in his career. That makes me get happy, bro. You're happy. Y'all are in love.
My God. I'm here to see violence. I'm here to see violence, TJ.
Well, you want violence? To quote his wife, AJ Lee, today, she said, Oh, I'm a Puerto Rican from New Jersey. I will shank a chick.
So, right. You want some volume? Definitely talking about shanking. She don't care. You know what I mean?
I'm excited. She's chomping at the bit to show you still got it.
So it it's I don't see why that shouldn't be the main. Why not? I mean, okay. Probably not. Probably Cena and Brock because I think this whole thing is a John Cena thing.
So that may. I don't know. I don't know what the order is. You know, I'm interested to see, but. I'm I'm okay.
Obviously, we're looking forward to this. I'm getting a little excited, man. Wrestling-wise, I think it should be the mixed tag. Mm-hmm. Woo!
Pay-per-view wise, Cena versus Lesnar. That's box office. Yeah. So, regardless, though, it looks like. Shaping up to be a pretty fun card, man.
So, uh, yeah, this Saturday, WrestlePalooza from uh. The Game Bridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. And Indianapolis. Back there again, we were just there in February for the Royal Rumble. I opened up my hotel window and directly across the street was the entrance for the Gainesville.
So I love to be back there, but yeah, man, it's a. Man, I'm proud of us and I'm excited that we're able to do this. And you know me, man, I don't really get nervous about anything, but. I can't lie, I was sitting there at a Legion Stadium and I'm looking around. That fight set the record attendance.
Attendance record 70,000. And at one point they popped Triple H and Stephanie up on the big screen, you know, and I kind of stopped for a second and I looked around and I was like, man, like, I don't know where we're going to be. I don't know where they're going to have us situated, where we're going to be doing this from. But for a split second, I was like, man, this is a lot of people, man. Yes.
For a second there, I got a little, and I was like, now get a hold of yourself. Yeah, well, I can't for a second. I did look around and go, golly, man, what if there's this many people there? Like, there's gonna be a lot of people there, man. But, you know.
It'll be very exciting. Like I said, bro, I couldn't ask uh for a better taxi partner. I mean, you probably could, but you got stuck with me, so it's fine. This is also true. You just can't take compliments.
I really disrespect. I can't. I just, I'd almost rather you dissed me than complimented me, right? Because I don't know. I'm weird with taking compliments.
I feel like somebody's effing with me. You know what I This is so toxic. I can't help it. This is such a cry for help. I have a hard time taking compliments.
It's weird, man. Yeah, I don't know if it's a confidence issue on my part or something. I don't know. Maybe I need to call Dr. Melfi.

Ladies and gentlemen, here at the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. We love to lift up. We love to lift up and try to push the stardom as much as we can here on our show for anybody who is welcome to the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. And this man right here fits that bill. He just announced.
Welcome to the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. That's right. Yes, sir. Thank you, man. Thank you for having me, man.
I appreciate that. Appreciate you sitting with us. Absolutely, man. Now, You know, you you still NXT, a little bit of Evolve, all this kind of put into one. Talk to us a little bit about this journey.
You know, when did you get bit by the wrestling bug? Let us get to know you a little bit. Amen. All right. So, uh, wrestling bug.
I've been watching since I was four years old, man. And, like, I just knew that. This was my path and this is what I wanted to do. But also, I got Nigerian parents. And you feel me?
Like, they like, hey, you know, grow up and be a doctor, a nurse, spicy. And I'm like, all right. I hear y'all, but you know, in my heart, I knew what I wanted to do. And uh after high school I went to the military, like straight off from there. And During like the last year of the military that I was in, I was like What do I want to do with my life after this?
And Pro wrestling was the answer. I searched up a school. caught level up in San Diego. And the rest is history.
Now you were in the Navy, correct? Yes, sir. Okay, okay. How long were you enlisted? Oh, five and a half years.
Oh yeah.
Now i i you're from Inglewood? I am, yeah. You can go.
Okay, yeah, yeah. You know, right now, we're in El Segundo right now. And that's where the studio is.
So, you know, we're what, 12-minute drive, hop on the 105 up here. We get, you know, 12 minutes right in. Not even 12 minutes. What am I talking about? But like seven minutes, really.
Right. If it's a good day. If it's a good day. You know, people be tripping. Yeah.
But yeah. There we have back-to-back Inglewood. Yeah, Callie Armstrong. Callie Armstrong. We had her last week for sure.
Now, wait a minute. No, no, hold on now because Callie born and bred here. All right, Inglewood. I need to know, man. You be following sports out here?
Oh, here he goes. You following sports out here?
So I'll be real.
So I did watch our interview. Not that much, bro. I promise. No, no. Dude.
Since wrestling was the only thing that I cared about at the time, you know, so I I follow it, but like casually, if that makes sense. Yeah, anything but the Clippers. He just wants you to say you were a Lakers fan so we can sound like, you know, everybody gotta like the Lakers, man. Yes, they do. But.
So I love the fact you was a a fan since you were four. Why don't you tell us like who were some of the your favorites growing up? Oh man, um Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero. Um But he still Oh, I know what era this is. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
That SmackDown era. Exactly, exactly. And obviously when I watched it back, the old footage or whatever, I was a big fan of Macho Man, Rick Rude. Um mister Perfect. Yeah.
Growing up older too, Dolph Ziggler was a huge one for me as well. Dolph, you know, that's a, I'm glad you brought that up because Dolph. When I when I watch you You're really good at selling. Like you you sell. Really well.
Dolph was a king seller. That's how he made his career. King seller, man. Can you talk a little bit about finding the balance of staying strong? But also No, making sure the other dudes' moves look good.
You know, making sure that it's a huge balance for me, too. And it's something that I'm still learning as well. But back to the selling stuff. Man, when I was in high school, I used to just watch constant You know, Dolph Ziggler selling compilations. Oh, really?
Dude, and I will watch UFC's compilation, like knockout compilations too. And I remember just telling myself that, you know. If I ever got signed to WWE, I'm going to be like the best at it. Like that, like that was my goal. Like, that was my thing.
And it's just fun. You know, I just prefer doing that. And I guess the balance just comes from. You know, you can still make them look good, but then, you know, when it's your time to get your stuff in, then. you know make it count Yeah, absolutely.
Because I know there's a That's a fine line to walk, you know, because like you like, I used to watch My man Ricochet and I would be like, man, he is. He's making this dude look great. But you know, but like Ricochet, if he's not coming off the top rope, sometimes it just didn't pop off the same way.
So it's definitely a tight balance. But when you do it, bro, it's very entertaining, man. All those compilations, all that practice, just want you to know. paying off is paying off now Is Dolph a little bit of inspiration for the gear too, the tights? Because you know, sometimes look a little child, a little heartbreak kid in there, you know, so.
I wouldn't see Maybe some subconsciously, like he might be, but my gear is. Kind of from me, but also like uh Um Randy Savage, a little bit of brother. Then you you know So I I always Gear was always like one of my favorite things in wrestling gear and like entrances, and just having that grandiose feel. Those were like the things that I I loved watching. Especially like WrestleMania 2, when that comes around.
You know, I just always love seeing what. The rest is what we're. I'm not mistaken. You make your own. I do, yes, sir.
Oh, sir. Yeah. Now, how did that come about? Like, for me, we had Bianca Belair on months ago and. I was talking to her about the fact that growing up, my mom was a seamstress.
So, I kind of learned, you know, very basics, but I could always, you know, repair a hole in a shirt or a pair of pants, sew a button, those types of things.
So the. Did your parents have a background in that? How did you start? Absolutely not, man.
So I didn't start off making my own gear. Um, I used to go through like different people. And it would just take months and um You're just months at a time. And obviously also it's more expensive as well.
Something like you know. I could probably do this too. Let me just try it out, you feel me? And so I watched YouTube videos. I took my old gear, I took it apart, seeing how it was sewed on.
And yeah, once I did it, I was like, Yo, I did that. That's kind of how it started. You cut the middleman out. Right. So now, let me ask you, does anyone else come to you and ask you to to hook them up and and make stuff for them?
Yeah, but again, I just started selling my stuff and it's it's it's hard to even um It's hard to do it for somebody else as well, like unless it's tights. Like, I know people have been coming up to me, but I'm not. At that you know level yet. I'm still even in my learning phases, you know.
So once I get better and more proficient, then I'll start helping people. But as of now, I'm still, you know, learning. That's what's up. Yeah. So.
When was did you were you born in Nigeria or just the Nigerian parents? I did see that you visited over there. Mm-hmm. So were you born there? No, I was born in Englewood.
Oh, yeah. So my generation.
Okay. Yeah. Now, when you go over to Nigeria, talk to us about that that Nigerian life, man, a little bit, because I got I have some films that might take me over there.
So I need to know, man. I need to know some spots. I got you.
So a a spot that everybody usually goes to is um is Lagos, Nigeria. I I go like to my home home and like that's called a quiet bone. What I love about going back home is the fact that I feel like out here We stress on things that don't really actually matter. You feel me? But like when I go out there and see them, you know, happy and joyous.
Just for the little things that they have, or just even going outside and playing, you know, with my little cousins or whatever, it just brings me back and it, um, It um I guess it levels me, you know, on Focusing on things that actually matter in life. Yeah, when whenever I go to film or or anything that takes me away from home for a while. I always feel that Going and being around my brothers and sisters, my brothers and sisters, my. My parents, it's a soul recharge. Is that like...
Is that how you feel when you you go back home to Nigeria? 100%. 100%. Just, you know, see my little cousins, nieces, nephews, my grandparents. It's just.
It's just a great feeling, honestly. No, you've been a fan of wrestling since you were a kid, like both of us, but you took it a step further, obviously, than we did, and you actually made yourself a wrestler. Tell us, man, the first time you got into a ring. And you got slammed, or you not even slammed, I guess you had to do your first back bump. Did you regret it?
Did you say, hmm, I don't know about this? Or was that like, all right, let's bring it? No, I don't even close, so I'll I'll I'll actually, you know, rewind it back. When I first went to the trading school that I was in in San Diego, I remember just hearing the bumps. And, like, nobody could take the smile away from my face, dog.
Like, I was like the happiest ever, man. And, like, when I actually walked inside and to see a wrestling right in front of me, dude, I was happy.
So, I was. Um the way that they worked is that Before you even step in the ring? You have to do like a like a week of or a week or two of like you know cardio condition or whatever then you know If uh you give up then You know, you're not really meant for this business, right?
So I'm just like, bro, I'm ready, bro. Like, put me in. By the time I went in, everything just kind of felt natural to me. The bumping, perfect. Hitting the ropes, good.
You know, I think that I could attribute that to watching for so long that. It just Felt like I belong, you know. This is. Exactly where I belong.
Now, let us know a Welcome to Wrestling moment you had. Either a bump that was like, okay, that one stung a little bit. That one got me a little bit. Honestly, nah, bro. I.
Oh, he loves it for real. Yeah, man. Like, when it's something you're hurting, I'm like, yo, yo. You know, like, I expected all of this, you know? Mm-hmm.
Now How do I phrase this? How do I phrase this? Because you've told us you're. Your inspirations. What um How Has this journey?
What's the best thing that's been happening to you? through this journey. And what is the hardest thing that you've had to deal with during the journey. The best thing I'll say is just the fact that I got to meet and work with the people that I used to watch on TV. Meeting other people who are passionate in what I'm passionate about as well too.
Um I just just a good sense of community, you know.
So I would say that's probably the best thing. Um the worst thing is um The worst thing is just being patient, you know? I think as a pro wrestler and as somebody who's creative, You want to be able to showcase that to as many people as possible and. Um Coming from a as a fan of watching this, you want to be able to like live. you know, the dream that you see in your idols.
Um living.
So, um, yeah, I think the hardest part is being patient, just knowing that my time will come eventually. And Idris, tell us that feeling when you got that call or that email to let you know that you were going to. Heading to Orlando to the performance center. What was that feeling like? Take us through that.
Ah man, okay, so my tryout. What's the very first trial that they let you know that you're getting signed the day of everyone before us? When you got signed, then you know they'll get the email like Oh, uh two weeks later, right?
So I wasn't expecting my thing was the fact that I'm even in this tryout. I'm happy. The fact that I get to perform in front of the people that I used to watch, I'm happy, right? Um, so yeah, you know, we do the tryout, we're all in the room. And uh Name set called My name gets called.
I'm walking down the hallway with Matt Bloom. He's like, hey, man, you know, you did a great job. I'm so proud of you. And I go to the room, and you know, there's triplets sitting right there, and like, My brain is like processing everything, right?
So I sit down and he's like. Yeah, so we're looking to move you to Orlando. And Dude, you know, I just broke down because it was like For real? Like me? For like this is happening right now?
Oh, yeah, I just remember like after all of that, I went to my hotel room floor. I just sat down. Just like man, I don't know how long maybe like an hour or two Just like, damn, like. Life is like what like what is life right now. Mm.
Now you being a real fan. And we can tell how passionate you are and how much you love. What you being around? That goes well for the heart, dude. Yeah, no doubt.
Especially since he was a kid, man. Yeah, since he was a fan, since he was a kid. I know it's got to be one time.
So tell me a time. We're wrestling as a fan. Broke your heart. I like to say when I saw Hulk Hogan run the rock over. In an ambulance, I was like, I was done, bro.
Like, my whole week was ruined. When I saw Vince McMahon team up with Stone Cold, beat The Rock at WrestleMania 17. Man, I swore as a kid. I'm not watching. I'm not watching next week, man.
So I need to know: when was the time where wrestling broke your heart?
Okay, um this one is not, you know. Kayfey, right? This one is um. When 80 grew up passed away, I was like. I think I was like eight or something, like eight years old or whatever.
Um Mm-mm. Me and my siblings were like at the dining room table. Playing a game or something like that. And after in the living room on the TV, I could just kind of hear something about you know, WWE, dad, and I heard the word cousin as well too. I'm just like, huh?
So we all go to like the living room and I remember like just for like like Two three seconds on the TV is set like Eduardo. Um And then like, you know, it went to like the next story. And my brother was like, yeah, like Eddie. Died. I was like, nah, I think.
It was his cousin or something like that. You know, like, I was just in denial. I'm like, nah, ain't no way. And then yeah, sure enough, bro, on SmackDown. you know, seen the Eddie the Eddie signs.
Batista came out, did that promo. I was just like. Damn. Yeah, the Yeah. Like we just watched this dude, you know, have his match with Mr.
Kennedy. You know, we watched that as a family, you know? Yeah, so that was heartbreaking, honestly. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, man.
Eddie touched so many people.
So many people. And now you're coming off of injury, right? Yes, sir. How's that rehab? How's everything going?
Cause you're back in the ring now. How you feeling? I feel great, honestly. And I think. I don't look at the injury as a negative.
I look at it as a blessing in disguise because I'll be honest, I was in. A state where I just wasn't mentally happy. I wasn't feeling good at all with how anything was going. And this was just the perfect reset for me to just Relax, chill. be grateful for like what's actually in my life right now.
I'm doing my dream job. I'm healthy, my family's healthy, I got a roof over my head. I have an income like that. Exactly, yeah. Just being grateful for the things that really, really matter.
Then In that time I've been able to um I guess Yeah. Um And then, you know, now that I'm back. Being a heel, which is what I wanted to do for the longest time, is, you know, I, I. I can't complain. I'm very, I'm very happy.
That's what's up. All right. We're not going to boo you because we're friends now, but you know, but you know, it's keep doing your heel thing. Yeah, yeah. Now, I'm comes, you know.
Now, we got to ask you: when we ask everybody their first time on the no contest wrestling podcast. You're in a bar. There's 50 people in the bar. And they are not fans of Idris and Ofe. They don't like the Hill turn.
No, they like Malik Blade. I need you to pick a team of you. and four other superstars to make sure You kicking ass in that bar, you making it to the car. Cool, cool.
Okay, crew fight crew. Mmm, it's kinda hard.
Okay, okay. Uh number one. Hear me out. Here we go. Number one.
You're gonna have Julian Haw. Oh, okay. Can you imagine like you pissed off, like you mad at me. and then out of nowhere like you got her singing you feel me singing Can you just imagine like just being so pissed off and all you hear is, I know you want next. I'm the hottest thing since sliced bread.
They're gonna be pissed. 10 people are gonna get annoyed and they're gonna leave.
So now we drop it. No, is this Chillian when she still had the thing on her face before the boogeyman ate it off? Or is it after the boogeyman? I mean, she was singing after the thing came off.
So after that, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, Chillian all that. What a turn. Hear me out.

I never thought I was going to hear that. That's other than that lore, right? That's an interesting bar fight, but you got Mark and New Jack and Glock in there. I think you're a pump on my lap at all times. Before we let you go, the last thing we'd like to ask.
Our guess is this: we're going to let you borrow our no contest time machine. All right, don't tell nobody else about it, because then they want to get into it. I got you.
But we're going to allow you to take this time machine. and pick Five superstars from any era that you would have a WrestleMania main event with. Who would you like to either go back in time or bring them from their era to today? have a banger with it mania, five of 'em.

Next time, The next time we see y'all. We're going to be live in Indiana, man, Indianapolis at WrestlePalooza. TJ, you were telling the people that we're going to be on YouTube and all these things for the pre pre-show. Can you explain that to them one more time? Yeah, man.
So look. Follow us on all our socials because the more we know about this, you know, as it comes to us, we'll. the information out to you guys so of course on twitter x There's no contest on Instagram, no contest wrestling podcast.

put in no contest wrestling. You'll see everything we've done, all 50 episodes. Every guest from CM Punk to Tiffany Stratton, who was episode 49, to Edric Sanofi here at episode 50. Before we go, though, I think you and I both, we gotta give a shout out to our boy.
Okay, the young goat. Shout out to that man, Dirty Dominic Mysterio. Two belts, the mega intercontinental champion, because Dominic Mysterio just went down and he became the new triple-A mega Pompeon. Absolutely, dirty dom the double chat, man. Uh and like it is So perfect.
He is a rock star anytime he's on AAA. And you gotta put it on him. And him getting in Ray's face and just more animosity. Cursing him out. Put it on me, making them put the belt, making the spots put the belt head buttons.
Which leads me to think that at some point, These two are going to have to have a one-on-one down there in AAA, right? It's got to go down. And a little, a little, maybe a little thing, man. I think maybe at some point. Because when we interviewed Ray Did you get the feeling that maybe like the end was sort of near for him?
Like, he might be thinking about, you know, he's giving 30 years to this. What if? We'll set this up. A title. Versus either mask or career match, Dominic Mysterio against Rey Mysterio for either the AAA or the mask or Rey's career.
That's just something to think about. It's gotta be triple-A, man. It would just be so symbolic. to do it oh man Anyway, the gears are turning. We got liberties for y'all every week.
You already know what it is. TJ, bro, congratulations, man. Same to you, my brother. It's been, this has been, this has been fun. Like you said, you know.
Getting to for us to kind of, you know, get to know each other as we're going on. Cause, like I said, people always ask, you guys been friends for a long time? I'm like, nah, man. I met him over a period of seven years, maybe four times for half an hour of clip. You know what I mean?
