Party people, your dreams have now been fulfilled. Get your ass up and let's get ill. Welcome to another Wednesday episode for the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. I am the heel that you love to hate, O'Shea Jackson Jr., hey, KA Petty Guerrilla. Hey, yo, it's me, it's me.

It's the T-Dou, the J-I-G-G, 2G-G, T-Jefferson. What's up, man? You know. A few things.

Okay. And not a lot at the same time. I. For the viewers, I'm not getting naked. I am just going to do some promo right now because first of all, I can't see the top button.

I might die. Help!

Okay, that's true. Um Yeah, me and uh Me and TJ might have missed Monday Night Raw. I know. Relax. Chill out.

Chill out. Chill, chill, chill. Because we were. Who's poured him? You could have already had this open, though.

I know, but like, I just wanted to show them I could get to the top button because I've been losing weight. But, yeah, so. Idiotas. Idiotas. Yes.

In theaters, August 28th. We went to the premiere. Yeah, Monday night. It was dope. Had a great time.

Had a great time. You made me go the whole way to Eagle Rock. I had to bring my passport out for that. Yeah, I've never heard of that place. I was like, is that in Colorado?

I don't know. First of all, this is another little side note. We'll put a pin in what we were going to talk about. There's so much of California where I'm like. I don't know.

But there's also so much of LA that I don't know. Yeah, and not like, yeah, it took me an hour and 20 minutes to drive from my crib there, which, in the big scheme of things, like, yeah, you could cross some states in an hour. You could have gone to San Diego. That is almost, not quite. Hey, you could have.

But, yeah, man, you know, I don't really go up to Pasadena, Angle Rock up in that area too often.

So it was a heck of a hike, but you know, it was cool. You know how, like.

So I grew up in the valley, and I consider normal valley to be from. Sepulveda to Topanga Canyon. Like, that is the normal valley. But what about everything east? Like, that's my bubble.

You don't go to Stadio City? That's my bubble. Like, that's the bubble I grew up in. Anybody who tells me they grew up on any other side, I'm like, that's weird, man. I don't know anything about that bubble.

But, like, if you, if you were rocking from Sepovita all the way to Topanga Mall, that is the normal valley for me. How many of those exist? Like your idea of Altuna is somebody else's completely different idea. You know, like we probably got the same idea. But they're not the big tuna.

But That being said, there's I mean, people like come to LA and they're like, Hey man, I'm in LA. Like, what should I do? Man, go to a game. I don't know. Leave me alone.

Go to the beach. LA is so big, man. I don't know what to do here, though.

Well, I know what we did do on Monday. And as I went out to support my man's here and his new film, Idiots, coming out. August 28th. August 28th. I want to remind you that Idiots comes out on August 28th.

And yeah, so here we have some of the pictures here. There's the one-sheet movie poster. Why don't you tell them who's in the flip with you, man? You know, it is Dave Franco, myself, Mason Thames, aka Hiccup. for our younger viewers.

Up dude, young people, a month got in here. I don't even understand. Sure, it's the end of days. My man Mason Thames plays hiccup and how to train a dragon. He's also in black phone.

He kills it, crushes it. He's a. Kind of the villain of the movie. You would say. Also, Kiernan Shipka, who's a beast.

Oh my man. Peter Dinklage, who, I mean, legendary. Legendary. And, um, Nick Braun, Nicholas Braun, who you might know from secession and things. I promise you, the role that he has in this.

Um, you've never seen anything like it before. And it uh, shout out to Prickabush the Werewolf. And I've already seen the film three other times. Um it was uh Once at Sundance. Another at the Atlanta Film Festival.

And then some random screening. Where we did a QA at the end, and now at the premiere. And every single time, the crowd. kind of goes crazy. Yeah.

Like it is A roller coaster ride of emotions. It's a At its core, it's a road trip comedy. We have had one of those in a minute that really hit. They wrote it over 10 years ago, so maybe that's why it has some of that old school flavor that you kind of have been missing from that time. And.

Yeah, it's a film that I'm really proud of. I put a lot into it. Um It's me and Dave. We play two guys who. Don't know each other, meet on the same day, but we have to.

Transport a billionaire's son, who turns out to be quite the asshole. Yeah. But a billionaire's son to rehab across state. He's a shatid. A shatid for sure.

But we have to take him to a rehabilitation center. across the state. And he does not make it easy for us. Not at all. At all.

There are a few shenanigans. And also, he's also a social media star. Yeah. So it plays in today's world where he's got a ton of followers. Yeah.

But. He kind of does not great things. It's not like he doesn't have one of those pleasant followers. He does a lot of bad stuff that his followers seem to eat up. Just imagine, just so everybody can grasp it, just imagine if.

Logan Paul's dad was Jeff Bezos. That would be crazy. There you go. Can you imagine what he'd be like 16, 17? You couldn't tell him nothing.

You couldn't tell him nothing. That's kind of something. That's for sure the character that Mason plays. But it's rated RS. Hell.

Like, it is our as hell. And it is a good time. There is, and everybody says this. Everybody always says this whenever they do press runs with like, you know, you got to see it with a crowd. Do It's such an experience, and it's so fun hearing the, oh, like hearing all that.

You will be cheating yourself if you don't. Uh see it with a crowd. It is an independent.

So, you gotta see what theaters it's in. But IFC, the people at IFC are so behind it. And the buzz has been so great. The reviews have been so great that we started off, we were gonna put it in 600 theaters. The buzz and everything that's been going on, they were like, okay, so we uh we decided to put it in 1400 theaters.

It was like, all right, yeah, so they were like really behind it, and um. It's some dope shit. And I will go out on a limb. Say, It is the best comedy of 2026.

Okay. I put a stamp on it. I ain't never did that for none of my movies. I don't give a f. Yeah, and bleep that out.

I don't give a f. What comes out or what came out before? Idiots is the best comedy of 2026. And when you go to the theater, tell them O'Shea Jackson Jr. sent you, and nothing will happen.

Yeah, man.

So Monday we went Eagle Rocket Vidiots. Videots shout the Vidiots. And it was, you know, it was cool. You know, the free popcorn and free drinks and all that stuff. Free tastes better.

Yeah, it's always better. You know, but then sitting down watching it, like I said, with the crowd, it was great to hear the reactions. Yeah, IFC presents idiots. And we got little stamps now. Look at that at the bottom.

Yeah, guys. It's not a game. We are. We don't do this for fun. But yeah, bro, it was for me.

It was like, you know, I got there a little early because I'm never early for nothing, but this was like from that drive. I was like, let me leave earlier, beat some of this traffic.

So, yeah, you know, sat down. You got me some good seats. I appreciate you. Of course. But more importantly, though, you know.

To see, and I feel this way about, you know, as you know, who some of my friends are in the acting world. And it's like, I always feel this enormous sense of pride anytime I go and see one of my boys or one of my girls, you know, up on screen. And there's been so many of them throughout the years. But it was the same thing with you, you know, like just very proud of you, you know, especially when I look back and consider that while you're filming this independent movie, like people don't really know. It's like I already said in Entourage, it's like, you know, you got some Apple boxes, you know, you don't got the big trailers, you know, it's.

Boom, boom, boom, you're moving, you're moving, you're doing things on the low. Yeah, so to know that you're out there trying to make this movie in Georgia at the time you did, when I know it's hot and I know it's muggy, absolutely. And then for you to still make sure that you made time every week to zoom in, whether it be from a car, shout out to Grace Waller, who was asking you if you were a drive there, or you know, a hotel room or wherever you could find a space to make sure you zoomed in every week to bring you know some fun to the wrestling world and all the fans. I thought about that. During during the movie.

And then, just, you know, you get pride when there's someone that you feel for and you care for. I'm probably not going to say what you want me to say for a while.

Okay. But, you know, it's like, yeah, man, I'm like, that's my man up there. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, so when you were getting the laughs, and it was just like, I was like, yeah, man, that's that's dope. And yeah, you know, it's one of those movies where like you're going to sit there, the beginning scenes.

I'm, can I just maybe you and Killer Mike at the beginning of the movie, you play a driver who's driving some kids and you take them to a movie that you thought was probably going to be good for some kids, and then you realize halfway in that, like, oh man, I'm going to get in trouble. Yeah, this isn't, this isn't for kids, and yet you never took the kids out of the movie even when you found them. He's a troubled guy, Davis. Davis is a trouble guy.

So, yeah, Killer Mike was asking you some questions and you were, you know, very emotional. Yeah. So I don't think I'm going to ruin anything. You lost that job. I don't want to ruin anything in the movie, but yeah, you know, because if you did lose that job, we wouldn't be on this.

We wouldn't have the movie.

So then you get Dave come on and he's working like a telemarketer and he's just sitting there vaping it up. Bro, that is one of my favorites. My job. Yeah. It's my job.

It's my job, man.

So Dave Franco, I got to be honest, man. I think Dave Franco is hilarious. I think you're funny and hilarious.

So you two together are great. I hope we see more of you two together. Yeah, Dave, me and Dave. Did a show called The Now back in the day, and I say show. Because it was a show, but it was technically a movie.

I don't know if you guys remember Quibi, rest in peace. Right, right. Quibi, this app that we were supposed to be able to watch things on the go. We it was written as a movie. But because it was on Quibi, we're gonna break it up into 12 10-minute episodes.

To make it easily digestible. Yeah, easy, bam. And yeah, the now, I think it's still, you know, you can probably find it on Roku or something. And That's where we hit it off, and I give all the credit to Dave because Dave. From the jump, me, him, and Jimmy Tatro, Dave was like, let's go out to dinner every week.

He was like, let's hit dinner, let's hit dinner. And so, like, that became our thing. And We developed chemistry and we, after we were done, kept talking. You know, still randomly will go out to dinner, the three of us, just because of that time in Vancouver. And so Dave hits me randomly.

Like, yo, I got this movie. And I need a, I need a co-lead. It's like a twofer. And As you know, managing maintenance, repair, and operations is never easy. But for the ones who always rise to the challenge, Granger has your back.

Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. I think you could kill it. And so when you hear, you know, like your buddy says like. He put his name out there to say, like, no, Shay could do that. Yeah, yeah.

You know? And. That's your friend being like, no, I believe in you. Like, I know you got this.

So now I kind of had that chip on my shoulder of just like, all right. whatever this Whatever it is. I need to like really go for it. I need to have it where. It is a special moment.

It's not just me. You know, doing a film. And so I, I. Let myself be very vulnerable. In this film, as far as emotion, that I've never.

Displayed in any of the roles that I've done. You know, I had to go to a real place that I that was never asked of me before. And also, I wouldn't have been able to reach that at any other time in my life. You know, I Lost both my grandmothers. I you know lost uh s My uncle star who was like My uncle/slash security/slash best friend.

I took him on every single set, and I lost him a month after I lost my first grandma. And And also, on top of being a parent, you know, I. Being a dad. has made me worry On a whole different level, of course. And The idea of anything happening to my kid is easy.

Like, it gets me there, like. Don't even imagine. Yeah, acting is a weird job because there were even times where. While I was going through that, I wouldn't while I was going through real life things. As an actor, I would tell myself, like, Like I d I I you don't let yourself Go through a complete grieving process.

Like you Just stuff everything down because I might need to go here. And it's super unhealthy, but it. Works, you know, and now, like, drop of a hat, you know, I got it, and I was able to. Feel comfortable to show that in idiots while also having. The most chaotic comedic things happening around me.

It's really hard to cry when everybody's being funny. Like, it is, it, that van scene when Dinklage shows up and I got to cry in the back, like, that is difficult. Like, I mean, you cried like in the first scene, then you're sitting on the curb. You're sitting on the curb crying like that. Bro, like, my man Davis is going through it.

And I think the beauty of the character is. He's getting in his own way. There's nothing that's making him a bad person. It's just his decision making, you know? And so He can't figure that out, and it frustrates him so much that he's starting to believe he's a bad person.

He's starting to believe, like, you know, and he's super. He walks a life of faith. You know, he's really behind his religion. And he's very serious about this job. Yeah.

And so when he continues to fail. he starts to believe in his head that like It is just me. Like, I'm destined to just not. Make anything of myself. And so, like, yeah, that just makes him this emotional roller coaster until.

Until he snaps. And boy, I love when he snaps. And yeah, so. We had a great time. Your boy.

Kinda kills it. Kind of kill it. And yeah, go see idiots when it comes out. uh August twenty eighth, you know It's a weird thing, the movie business. The um The opening weekend is very important.

They kind of like. Stop looking at numbers after the opening weekend, which makes no sense. Right. Because, like, you can't go see it because everybody's going to go see it. That's how I feel all the time, right?

Like, we're at the mouth, and then, like, sometimes the theaters are always sold. Yeah, so, like, you know, but.

Something like obsession. Got You know, the indie market really believing in itself again because, yeah, word of mouth, you know, spreading the word, putting it on social media, and you know, just all those things catching wildfire. Because if you know, if O. Shea Jackson Jr., the actor, gets bigger. NCW is going to be huge.

I appreciate you guys' support, as always. Make sure you go see Idiots August 28th. I'm going to stretch out my shirt so you can see it clearly and remember. And to the listeners, that's what I'm about to do. Yeah, 8:28.

Make sure you go see it. Why? I'm pretty proud of it. Yeah, man.

You know, it's one of those just fun road trip buddy comedy. Yeah, there's going to be some drug references. There's going to be strippers. It's going to be everything that you a lot of blood, a lot of bodily fluids. There's a scene, and I'm not going to say it because I'm going to ruin it.

There's a scene in a motel room that you will get. At least three different Like feelings. You're going to get the, oh, this is funny. You're going to get the at that one point, the entire theater went, oh, and then, and then you're going to get the, yo, what is this movie? This is what I thought this movie was, man.

And so you're going to get all these types of feelings, all these types of, yeah, yeah, man. And so, yeah, without wanting to give away too much, go see it. Your boy does great. I thought it was great. Like I said, it was very proud to see you up there doing your thing.

And obviously, you know, a premiere or a screen, the crowd's going to. Maybe give you a little bit more in terms of laughter because that's they know what they're there for. But I think outside of it, it's gonna be the same thing. There's gonna be people, like I said, they're gonna be grossed out, they're gonna lose their mind. I laughed out loud, probably, and I'm talking solid, like.

Yeah. To 10, if you laugh out loud, like five. Yeah, one of those belly laughs. I got about eight to 12 of those. Yeah, man.

Yeah, so go check them out, you know, and it it just kind of makes me and we'll get don't worry folks, yeah, this is no contest. Wrestling, we will talk about wrestling, but some things are bigger than wrestling, like like this for my brother here.

So, yeah, it's just Proud, like I said, you, Dave Franco, I'm a fan. Peter Dinklage is in it. Yeah, man.

You know, Mason was great. And Mason Mason is a little uh Heart throb piece of shit that he is. He's a. Everybody sees him as the good guy in everything he does. He's kind of rooted for him.

You do not root for him in this one. Those looks he gives, and then he'll do a little smile. Yeah, he's like, you little, like, you little shit. But even more than that, you know, you and I, because we've been, you know, I say we've been close over the last two years, going to there and then starting to meet some of your people. Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Some of your close friends and like some of them coming up to me from across the theater who I didn't know. Yeah. They're like, oh, you're TJ. And I'm like, yeah. And because they've seen us do this together, plus, I was wearing a no-contest t-shirt with all her pictures on it.

But no, that was cool to see, you know, get to chop it up with people that you know you love and you're close with. Yeah, it was like all the corners of my life. Crossed at the same time, who like never seen each other. Yeah, like I see you and John David Witherspoon, man. You guys were talking, I was talking to someone else, so I didn't get his name at first, but then I heard his voice, and I was like, oh, wait a second.

Yeah, I know who this is, and it's sure, you know, John John Witherspoon's son. Yeah, the late, great John Witherspoon. Me and his son JD, like you were telling stories about you guys being kids together. Yeah, like we've been known with him since, you know, single digits.

So, like, it's that's wild, man. It's crazy. It's just crazy to know somebody for that long, and you know, with, especially with the loss of. John, like, you know, JD has been somebody who I've been, you know, keeping, you keep an eye on, you know, just checking, making sure, you know, people in your life are all right. And, you know, now we both got, he's got his stand-up thing.

I know I'm doing the acting thing. And, you know, It's uh It's just like an inevitable thing where we gotta work together, you know, and I was so grateful for him for coming out. My best friend from USC. Yeah, now we go to the different corners.

So you have childhood. And then you got, I mean, Nate, he sits next to me, and I'm just sitting because I got there early.

So I'm in the road by myself. Yeah. Brother came over, shakes my hand, and I'm like, you know, that's what we do. But then he's like, oh, I'm his friend. Yeah, I know.

I know you're back. How long have you guys known each other? Oh, we went to college together.

So there was that corner. Right, right. Yeah. And then. Uh, uh, uh, Jackie came with Frankie.

That, you know, that's my child's mom. Yeah, which, and we, I never met her, and she's one of the people who came like up to me after. She's like, I saw you from across the room, wanted to say hi. I'm like, that's wild because we had never met each other before. We just never.

Rarely an opportunity for them, right?

So, you know, it was cool for her to come out. I don't think she's. I think it's a very good thing. I don't think that it could have been any doper overnight. And what I love, though, is like, you know, because I have friends who have, you know, babies' mamas or babies' daddies, and you never know what the situation is.

But I know for one thing, you've never said a bad word about her to me. No. And two, the way she was showing you love, like, yeah, we're not together, but this is my partner. Right. You know, we're in this forever together.

And it was just really dope to see that because, you know, a lot of. times, you know, these relationships get toxic. And I don't know what your relationship is, but like I said, I've never heard you say a bad word about her. She comes across as just a beautiful gray woman. And just the way she talked about your relationship, your co-parenting, I thought was super dope.

That was awesome to see that you have that.

So that's a stress that you don't have in your life that I know so many other people. Hey, dude. It took some smoothing out.

Well, yeah. We reached a great place of just like. Our kid will never say, My parents hated each other. That's awesome. Like, never, like, she doesn't know what that is.

Like, we just don't be together. Yeah, like, we might not be together, but like, it's still like Team Jordan, you know? And that's beautiful, brother. Yeah, that's always been very important for us to display. But, like, that's like one of the first times where.

Me and her have been in the same room without our daughter in like over 10 years. Um, so it was, uh, you know, appreciate her coming out and supporting and just, you know, being cool, everybody mingling and. You know, she hadn't seen Nate in years. And then you getting to meet JD, and then Nate getting to meet JD. It was just, it was just like standing back.

It was like, man, these. I would have never thought all these people would be in the room. I get that. And then there are other people we met, like Anthony Bull of AEW. I don't even know how he got, like, he was just there.

And it seems like we don't go out at night a lot together, but the few times that we have, we always seem to run into Anthony Bullard. Yeah, he's got to be WME. I don't know, but he's a cool cat, man. And, you know, like I said, you could catch him probably tonight on AEW. I'm sure he might have a match, but he was great and also.

Coming up to us and smiling like she knew us, the great awesome Kong that he is the crazy. And Awesome Kong was there. And if you know, you know. Like Nia Jax, I think Awesome Kong was one of her dream matches. Yeah.

You know, Awesome Kong, obviously legend in the female wrestling world. And she came up and was just showing so much love. She called me Petty. She was like Petty Guerrero.

So I was like, oh, you watch the pod? And she starts telling me a story. I posted something on my Instagram story that this past Saturday, the 8th, was. 28 years, 1998. August 8th, 1998, I made my first trip to Los Angeles, caught on the flame, plane came out and visited.

And I just randomly put this up because I had a day planner where I had it written.

So I posted on Instagram, got a lot of nice feedback. But she's come up to me talking to me about this. I'm like, wait a minute, how do you know this? And she's like, because I follow you. And I'm like, oh, right.

I did just, I just posted this.

So it was, you know, Bowen's, it was great to see him. It was great to meet Awesome Kong, you know. Dave, you know, I Dave has come to the Rich Hodgson Show a few times. I reintroduced myself to him, and like he was there with a hug, his insanely great, talented wife, Allison Bree. Yeah, I was a little nervous talking to her, so I just didn't, I didn't bother her.

I can't remember. I don't think I've ever met Allison. But she the she was so sweet. She gave me like Compliments that I needed to hear. Oh, word.

You know. Actored actor. That's dope. Yeah. So it was like, man.

And then her and Kia, Awesome Kong, they had done Glow together.

So to see them have a reunion where they saw each other and screamed and hugged. And that was, I mean, it was just, it wasn't a big venue. It wasn't a big setting, but it was awesome. It was great. And like I said, we'll get to the wrestling, but this kind of trumps the wrestling right now, man.

So congratulations. Go see the movie. You're not going to be disappointed. And, you know, whenever I see these people, and I always get on you sometimes about fighting with people on Twitter, right? Yeah.

But when I see these people that say, oh, you're just a Nepo baby and you haven't done anything. You haven't. No, this dude is. opening movies, my friend, and We haven't talked about this on the pod, but the great Eric Braden, who plays Victor Newman on Young and the Wrestlers for years, he was on the Rich Hisen show a few weeks ago. Of course, his son is Christian.

Yeah, Christian Gudegas, who wrote and directed Denneth Easton. Yeah, so I sent you a video, but I told you in the background, Eric and I are talking, and he's like, Oh, Shay, he does great work. And I, you know, I tried to downplay it a little bit. I'm like, yeah, he's pretty good, right? And this man, Victor Newman, he looks me in my eyes, he goes, no.

No. He's not pretty good. He's great. And I was like, oh, bet. And so, and he told me that Christians.

Working on Denotes Three. Yeah, he said the script looks great.

So Within the next year or so, because we know removies take forever.

Well, I'd say, within the probably within the next, hopefully. 14-16 months, you'll get that one going. I'm drinking a gallon of water. But yeah, man, pissed my life away. But yeah, congrats, brother.

Thank you, man. It was awesome. Yeah, I. I haven't been This is proud of myself in a long time. That's dope.

You know, and that's, it got a little dark, right? But, like, you know, like. I'm hard on myself. I'm hard on myself because I haven't had a lot of people be hard on me. You know, I've been blessed.

with the the life that I I've been I woke up to. with the family that I I woke up to, I've had a lot in my life pretty easy.

So I am tougher on myself than anybody is. And it keeps me focused. It keeps me. I need to do that. I tried to that voice in my head to like, I will do it tomorrow.

He wins way too much.

So, like, I have to be the hardest on myself. And I don't like Rewatching, or like once I see it at the premiere, I saw it. Yeah, yeah. You know, I go on to the next thing. I haven't been this proud of myself in a long time.

You know, so I want everybody to enjoy it. Check me out August 28th. The perfect lunch combo. That first bite of your favorite sub, followed by ice-cold Pepsi. Add a couple of friends, and now that's next level.

Suddenly, the laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing, and the food tastes better. because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun, and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. You know what?

When you're locked in, focus and Fearless. Welcome! The time. Your vision narrows. You can't look away.

Every assist, every stop, every logo three.

Okay. Every did you see that moment? What records are going to be broken this season? All of it, right here. Lock in.

It's the WNBA on ESPN, all season long. Take your friends, take your family. A lot of ones don't. Not to let them leave them alone. They're gonna be different.

They're gonna be different when they get out.

So just have a good time. And uh don't go see John Cena's movie.

So let's do uh. Let's talk about some wrath. Yeah, speaking of people being hard on themselves, SmackDown. What did I tell you last week? I said, once Kevin Owens became the number one contender, I said, he and CM Punk are going to get on the mic and it's going to get downright nasty.

And it did. SmackDown happened. It opened up. You had Punk and Cody, right? And then.

Obviously Punk is ready to call out Randy. He wants to know that the the punk Do you see what Randy did? And of course, Punk didn't because he was outside of the ring when Randy came in at SummerSlam.

So they broke off.

So. Cody's like, all right, I'm going to go check for Randy. And here comes Kevin Owens. And KO and CM Punk, I think it's safe to say, do not like each other for real. Right.

And this goes back to, you know, the. The podcast, the famous podcast over a decade ago, I think it just goes back to Kevin. Being friends with the Young Bucks, maybe. And so there just seemed to be some real life hostility between Kevin Owens and CM Punk. It was kind of like, remember that, remember that, that.

Promo that Eddie Kingston and Punk had in AEW, where Eddie was based like, Nobody likes you, nobody wants you here. Yeah, wasn't quite that bad, but you can tell, man, they're taking real life feelings and using it. And that's the beauty of wrestling. Is this a work or is this the shoot? Like, did these two clear this in the back, or did they just go out and go, like, I'll see you out there.

I'll see you out there. Because I kind of feel like that's what happened, right? Yeah, we're going to see. They're going. They're just going to tear each other up on the mic until they get into that ring and they're going to put on the banger.

But yeah, I'm down for, you know. We get into these pockets of wrestling where A feud. You got three weeks. to hype it up. PLE happens.

And then the other guy gets uh another story somewhere else. I'm all right with getting two or three matches out of the shop. Oh, this isn't going to be one in the middle. Yeah, like I'm going to come with a little real rivalry because Lord knows. We ate pretty good off that Drew punk saga.

Mm-hmm. There's you know, Je Kevin Owens don't don't take nothing laying down. You know And so this is going to be very interesting. If you look while they're doing their promo battle. While uh the other one's talking They always try to laugh it off or whatever.

Like, this is like you got. You're getting me a little bit. You know, you're hitting some songs. I notice that this. I know where you're delicate.

I know where you're delicate. So it's a lot of smirks trying to downplay each other. And talking off the mic, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, boy, to be a fly on the wall, to be a fly on the wall. Man, so yeah, that's going to be exciting coming up.

So we got that to look forward to. And then we had Baron Corbin. Use the belt. He had a rematch with Trick Willie. Use the belt.

Hit Trick Willie, got the dubs.

So, you know, we still got Baron Corbin, and we'll see what's up next for Trick. But Baron gets in the back, cuts a nice little promo. Who jumps him? Mamelo, my man. Him.

Himself. Yeah. So now we're going to get a Carmelo Hayes-Baron Corbin match for that U.S. title. We'll see how that goes.

Excited to see that. Yeah. By the way. Um Oh, just to go back to Punk and Kevin Owens, because we're not gearing up for a PLE. They're going to do it on a SmackDown in Toronto.

How do you feel about that? Like, what does that make you as a fan and as the wrestling aficionado that you are? What are your your your ears telling you? What are your sensors telling you?

Well, no, not everything can be on the PLE, right? Like Goldberg wins the title on a random what was that? And the match gets announced on Monday and it happens on Thursday, or it gets announced on Thursday, happens on Monday. Regardless, it was on a regular episode of wrestling, so there wasn't a PLE. Yeah, you need that sometimes, man.

You got to make these Raws feel like they mean something. And then, especially anytime you leave the country, you know, and Toronto has, you know, just a major history with some. Great wrestlers and wrestling matches. I mean, they had Rock Hogan. Right.

I was just watching Dark Side of the Ring with Mr. Wonderful Paul Ornendorf, who he and Hulk Hogan, I think in 92, had a 60,000 seat arena was sold out to watch he and Hulk Hogan go out in Toronto.

So, yeah, I'm. I'm okay. I just don't I don't know man. Like KO just coming back. Are you taking the title off Punk?

And also, just to speak to your randomness, CM Plunk won the title that's on SmackDown on a random Raw in Chicago.

So, yeah, here's the deal: I don't think that Charles Montgomery is losing that title anytime soon. I don't feel like he's. But the thing is. What do I know? What do we know?

Would it surprise you if Kevin Owens won? Not really.

So, yeah, it's interesting, and I'm interested. And that's what you want, right? Yeah. Okay, take us somewhere different. Keep us on our toes.

Who else do we have? Fatal Influence. They defeated interim women's champion Chelsea Green and the women's United States champion Tiffany Stratton in the tag team match. I need you to explain. I need somebody.

And you know me, I'm pretty easy when it comes to this, but there are things that happen, things WWE does that make me scratch my head, and I do not get it. They seem to love. When they get a brand new champion, and the next time we see them having them eat an L. Eat a pin. Why is Chelsea Green getting pinned in that match?

Why not Tiffany? This is your new interim women's champion, right? And she takes the pin to essentially some rookies. That's bad enough in itself. Yeah.

But the worst thing.

Now she's hurt.

Now she's hurt.

And I have a hard time. I've always had a hard time saying this word. Let me get it out. Orbitable. See, I can't say it.

Bless you. Orbital bone. See, it's one of those things that does, I consider myself a master of the language.

Some words do not roll off my tongue. Bro, your mustache is too big. Orbital bone. All right. Orbital.

Yeah, I can't say that word, but I get it. But yeah, it's broken. Yeah. And now what happens?

Now, is she going to have to give up the title? Does she risk it? Because now we don't have an interim, interim, right? Because that's nothing to play around with. That you.

Bust that up, that could open your eye. That could, you know, that could really mess you up for the longest. Remember. Was it her? I know Carmella for sure, but didn't Chelsea wear a mask?

Well, she broke her nose.

So, are we looking at another mask thing with her? Right. Or are we looking at this? Is maybe a little too severe? Yeah.

Are you going to give her. Time to maybe hit Ola the way you did with Rhea. Like, there's a lot of people. Yeah, right. Are she about to pull a Liv Morgan and not really defend it?

Or are they just going to take it from her? Yeah, and it's like you don't want to suck the energy out of. The whole title is now getting cursed whispers. And that's how I felt about the orbital. Orbital.

The red title. When it was like the universal title, when it was red, I was like, this thing is cursed. Everybody who touches it. Yeah, Finn gets hurt. Seth.

Uh, Roman had to leave, yeah. Like, I was like, bro, I would not want this belt. And uh, I know, I should have scratched with my left hand. Did you guys see that? I went over.

Like this, what a lunatic. You know how to act on camera. Yeah, so. I I think For her first of all, for her to take the pin In my screenwriting mind, I'm thinking like. They were building up, like, well, she's the interim champion, and so there were going to be a lot of opportunities where she doesn't feel.

Like the champion until that moment. Like, there's a moment that, like, a build-up to something, but it also. Maybe just shouldn't have it. Maybe it just shouldn't happen. Maybe don't put them in a match against the tag team champions that just got the title.

Also, what you said would have some credence, except for the fact that they have a history of doing this.

So it's not like it's just this one. It's not like an isolated incident. You know, so I just, that's just one thing I don't get. Like, they're your champion, whether they're interim or not. You got to make them appear.

That they could take on and take out anybody. They're your champion, right? And so when you have them lose in matches, It just I don't know. I d Kind of defeats the purpose. That's just my personal opinion.

You know who did it. Michael Hayes. Right. You're losing that. And then we have.

Now, we are on record as being Bella Twin fans here. All right. I'm a big Bella Twins fan going way back. But. There was a vignette.

With Nikki, explaining why she turned on Paige.

Now, like we said last week, I was hoping that maybe somebody would throw a challenge flag or something when it was obvious that Bree was hurt. Maybe not have the the hill turn happen, maybe put Nikki and Paige go against Fatal Influence, maybe hold off on that. They didn't do it.

So now you've got Nikki going after Paige, and like, I just didn't like the reasoning. Like, Nikki, let me just... She said Paige lost the tag team titles and leeched off of her sister. She did everything she could to get along with her, but the loss at SummerSlam was the final straw. She says it's because of Paige that her sister is hurt.

But here's the deal. Paige didn't call Nikki, Nikki called Paige. Right. So, you asked Paige to come and help you in a situation where. Yeah.

Like, if you don't have a replacement, you're not going to get this match. And what happens? Didn't Paige get the one, two, three? Yeah. To win the belts.

To win the title.

So I mean, I just... That means Paige's got to... She's got a lot of rebuttal rules in her promo. Yeah, she does. She can come back.

And, you know, even at SummerSlam, Nikki looked at the camera talking about. You know, you can't take my spot. Called me, right? You called me to take your spot. I was chilling.

Yeah. I was at the crib. Oh no, she lived in LA. Was that the crib? Palm trees.

Loving life. You call me.

So it's, yeah, there's a lot of holes, but. That's like when Arn Anderson called Kurt Henning and said, I'm not going to give you any spot in the Forestman, give you my spot. Yeah. And then what did Kurt mad? And then what did Kurt do?

He slammed Ric Flair's head in the stool. You can't, by the way, don't be giving people your spots no more, man, because all they're going to do is either you're going to turn on them or they're going to turn on you. Yeah. Is all I'm saying. Hustle man.

Repeats itself. There is a. No, I'm not going to say it. I'm not going to say it. But there's a dark instance of do not give up your spot.

And it's a wrestling story anyway. All right. I'll tell you afterwards. And then something else I love, because you know who my guy is. Shinsuke Nakamura.

Yes. I love, if you watch this, you know I love Nakamura. Nakamura Not seeing him for weeks at a time, months at a time, has just really frustrated me as a fan. But he cuts this little vignette. Vignettes are coming back, by the way, which I love, which we love.

Sometimes you got to tell a story, man. It don't hurt nothing. Yeah, let me let like it's like a little treat, a little advertisement. Yeah, like a story. Oh, yeah, I am waiting for that.

And I just saw them talking about, you know, the, the, the Jericho Millennium clock back in the day. Like, it's like a, oh, yeah, I am worried about that. It's like a little, little extra connection. Yeah. But Shinsky comes back.

He cuts a promo. He's talking about the Haku being with the MF, well, with the Tongans. And he's like, he's back. And this time he's not going to be alone. He's starting a war and he's no longer a one-man army.

Like.

So who is that sounds uh pretty Heavy. Evil, evil. But What do we know? Look, it could be. Could be.

Now root two? Yeah. I just said that because I knew I was going to laugh.

So, do you remember the first time I actually said that to you and Jada Barker? And I was like, you guys laughed at me. But yeah, that's a great callback. The reason I just did that, I watched that clip randomly this morning. And that was like, first of all, that was rude because I didn't know about the Rutu and One Piece and all this stuff.

One Piece is real. Just want everybody to know what. But yeah. Mention the name evil. Could it be Takahashi, you know?

He, you know, former member of Los Incobernables de Japon, he's been signed to WWE. We don't know if he's going to NXT. We don't know if he's coming to the main roster. All right. Is it Finn?

Well, he. There's some endless possibilities, right? Who Nakamura could bring. I don't think Bad Luck Folly is coming, though, unfortunately. You know why it pisses me off?

Why, Shay? Because That means if we would have just got one more year. We could have had what I think is a top ten tag team name ever. Uh The King's a Strong style. You're like AJ and Nakamura.

Tagging up, you came up with that name, bro. And I was like, that's so good. It has to be Fatnik. It was amazing. But And also, I'll think about AJ when we were talking to him about Shitsuke.

I can't remember if it was on camera or off camera. He was like, oh, man. You remember what he said? He was like, Shin's kids like my body. You know, like, come on, man.

He's going to give us one more run. I am down for it because Shinsuke, I feel like him and Finn They hype me up so much for 'em. And Julia's about to like weirdly be the third member of this. They hype me up so much. And then Got them to the top of the mountain and then They just like Fumbled it.

They just kind of disappear into the background. Like, we'll see them here and there. But, like, I'll never forgive WWE for having Nakamura. And Asuka lose at the same WrestleMania. Like, that was so crazy to me.

Why did y'all take me on this ride with them? If you not gonna Put the confetti in the air for them. and then like nakamura turns heel and i was like all right this might be interesting But then when Nakamura turned heel, they changed his song. Seth turned heel. Seth gets to keep his song.

What does Seth have to do with this? Because Seth is just the Davenport, Iowa, Shinsuke Nakamura. What's wrong with that? Nothing. I'm just telling you what it is.

He got the song, he got the fits, he's a rock star. That is Shinsuke. And I just felt like... I think it's the promos. Like, if you can't give me a clear promo, I don't think WWE knows what to do.

I love when. They were doing the the subtitle kind of like anime thing for Nakamura for a while. Getting back to that, because just let them get in their bag. Like, if you don't know. If you Picked me up.

You sign me. And you don't quite know. what to do with me through yo' stuff. Let me do me. That guy, this is the reason why you picked me.

You wanted me here.

So let me show you how to do me and then we can find a middle ground.

So let's see what happens. I'm sure. I mean, Naraku does make the most sense, right? He's finishing up an NXT. Unsuccessfully trying to take the title from our boy Tony D.

Is he going to stay down there? Is he going to move up? I don't know, but I'm excited for give me all the Shinsuke Nakamura. And he is one of those guys who, like, I have a list of people who, like, I'm still holding out hope to have that one feel-good world title. When you know, we got it with Sammy, we've got with other people throughout the years, and man, I'm just.

I know it's probably not going to happen, but I'm just hoping, praying that Nakamura gets that rub one day, man. It would be awesome. But. And then we also had Charlotte defeated Jay Cargill.

Now, woo! I want to talk about this because of course the IWC is going nuts because they're they're getting on jade about these botches or something, but You know, I was going back and looking, and somebody popped the video up. There was a move. The move that. Charlotte.

Or Jade did to Charlotte, where Jade kind of fell backwards. This is exactly Rhea Ripley. There's a video of her doing the exact same move and falling backwards the exact same way Jay did, and yet she didn't catch any of the static. The Jade caught. I just wanted to point that out.

Same move. Same person. Charlotte was in it. But yet With Jade, it's all like, oh, she's awful and terrible, blah, blah, blah. It's just like.

I don't know. I feel like we're fighting a losing fight with this. 100%. But. And there's another one with the sister Abigail.

We were like, that was a bunch. Here's how I looked at it. I look at it as Jay trying to escape the move. Yeah, she got away. Charlotte snatched her back and then did it.

And everyone's like, oh, she botched it. I don't look at it as a botch. I look at it like she found herself in a position, she knew what was coming. I'm going to try to get out of this. Nope.

Get back. Boom. Got hit with the move. And then, you know, I don't know, man. It's just, they're really on her all the time.

So all the time. And it's like, what is she? I said all the time, sometimes. Yeah. Right.

100% of the time, 60% of the time. Black Panther. Yeah. Uh wow the The discourse on Jade Cargill Is Just so nitpicky. Yeah, it's very weird.

And It's different when you had because i know I don't know who you are, but I know you just fixed your lips to be like, oh, we can't, we are just supposed to just take on like, bro, relax. It's different when you give praise when she does well. But you don't. to trash on it. That's like you're Kind of a piece of shit.

So it's different when you. When you want to give constructive criticism, yeah, I'm not allowed to criticize the product. No, but when it does great, when it does good, when it does okay. Give praise. It's just always negativity.

You're kind of a bully, bro. Just saying, don't be weird. We here at no contest don't support bullying unless They deserve it. And then we had the debut of Tatum Paxley. She shows up, and that was a pretty phenomenal way.

To make your main roster debut, she comes out. Lexa Bliss comes out. She's obviously still injured from the. chair that Jade put her arm in. Lights go down.

Beech in Mee Chin and B Fab are outside the ring, and then lights pop back up, and there's Tatum B. She's about to throw up that black stuff again. Oh, could you imagine? Hold on, like, whoa, here's the thing. But her standing on the uh, you know, not the turnbuckle, but the ring post, and then an amazing flying body press.

You know, she had been quoted in. Interviews I've seen before that, like, Alexa Bliss was like her favorite, who got her in the wrestling. She was my favorite too, man.

So, to see those two together makes sense. Yeah. Charlotte and Tatum together make no sense. Charlotte and that new version of Alexa barely made.

So Charlotte and Tatum don't. I don't even get that. That's not, I think they're here for a good time, not a long time, because it doesn't. Should the Charlotte Flair character, why would she befriend Tatum Paxley? Right.

You don't even fit the the blonde schemes. Yeah, so we'll see. But I big up statatums. She's pretty dope. And hopefully, you know, they let her cook.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Definitely a fan, but yeah, so we'll see. That was just my thought. Like, I don't even know if these things go together, but we shall see. Ultimately, I.

I think. Long-term fans are going to want to see, even though they're not on the same show, we want Lyra and Tatum back together. Man, I want Lyra and Tatum, I want Vaquer and Julia. There. Come on, man.

Like, it's right there. You got chocolate. You got peanut butter. Yeah, Greasy's. Put them together.

Put them together. Come on. All right, so that was a little SmackDown review and then raw. I had to go back and watch Rod because like I said, we were busy. We were busy watching Idiots coming out.

August 28th. There we go. August 28th is when Idiots comes out. Make sure you go see Idiots. Oh, Jay Jackson Jr.

Dave Franco. Yeah. All right. So I finally, I somehow. Raw didn't get spoiled.

And I was on my phone, but somehow I just luckily kept missing any Raw updates.

So I got to watch it on Tuesday. Show starts out. We've got. You know, the shows, we got the announcers at the table. All of a sudden, we hear someone singing Jay Uso's music, and it's Solo.

It's just me, Ooz, day one. And then you got Solo, who, how many months ago did I say, you know what Solo's problem is? He's too funny. This was almost a year ago, I told you this, right? Yep.

Solo He got him. He's wrapped around his face. He got him wrapped. And then Jay comes out.

Now Jay but here's the deal. When you go back and watch it. Jay's always trying to mean bug. But at one point, you're sitting there and you can see him fighting this smile so hard because that's his little brother. Yep, right.

He got me. He got one. And not even got me. He's got them. And I think that is where the smile pride.

But you just got to fight off that smile. And Jay, as we know, is not good. Like, Jay is the worst. He will break if he has. He is the worst.

He's not good at holding that back. But he did a good job. Kind of told Solo, Look, this is your warning shot. You're coming home. I'm wearing up a match.

Beat you. You're coming back to the bloodline. This one shot bow. And then you next thing you know is Solo's down there hiding. Like, this dude's too funny.

Is everyone okay, honey? Everybody all right, man. Anybody get shot? You know, so big ups is solo, man. They're gonna have a hard time holding him back.

They are playing a dangerous game because Solo got. A little Dwayne in there. It's a little Dwayne in there.

Soap. The rock used to. Like the things that we know all these superstars to do, and what we expect to hear from them, and what the crowd is ready to hear from them. He would make that shit sound so stupid. When he would get on the mic, like he would make you seem like the thing that we love the Undertaker for.

And like rolling the head back and like all that, or I am the game man. I am triple late. Like he would make the things that we love seem, oh, yeah, it does, it is kind of stupid. Also, giving rock props, rock would get things over that were so stupid. Like, let anyone else try to say, Rudy poo.

You take that belt, you shine it up, turn it sideways, and shove it up your candy ass. No one else could have got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's all in the setup. Shoving stuff up your Rudy Pooh candy butt, and that got over, and he got it over. Yep, it's all in the setup. It's all in the setup. He's like, Yeah, you like, you like apples?

I'm like, All right, well, I want you to take this apple, shine it up real nice. And like, once you hear that, turn it sideways, turn it sideways. Because, like, it's one thing to tell somebody to shove something. It didn't turn it sideways, though. It's so disrespectful.

But solo, it's like Vinnie Barbarino used to say, up your nose with a rubber hose back in the day on Welcome Back Connor. But, like, if you were to. Said, take the rubber hose and turn it sideways. Turn it sideways. Man, sideways is just gnarly.

That's so disposable. But Solo got a little of that. Like, he good. He's good. Pure comedy.

He is good. And now, and I get to do it to my big brother. Right?

So we'll cut ahead. They have a match. Jimmy comes out, interferes. Jay gets the win. And now the solo go back to the bloodline.

What are we doing here? We can't have two sour pusses. Remember last week, Roman was like, and where is Solo? He should be by my hip. He's talking like some prison stuff.

Like, he's pulling out his pocket. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, man. You can't say that about Solo. He should be on my hip.

Like, nah, bro.

So, and then also, Jacob always called. Why are you always calling me that? Calling him a dumb area. With your dumbass Jacob. Yeah, man.

But yeah, so he gets the win.

Now, Solo, I guess, has got to go back to the bloodline. We'll see. I'm kind of interested to see where this goes. And that right there is while they. Get you.

He said, I'm kind of interested. It'll be interesting to see. Because, like, yeah, first of all, solo.

Solo Dolo. Yeah, Solo's on Raw now. You got to be up here with us, you know, just like that. And so now, when you look at it. Just like that, this is the most powerful the bloodline has ever been.

If solo's back, like you replace Sammy, like think about old bloodline, you replace Sammy with Jacob.

Okay. They are deep. They are deep. Now solos.

So the story, man, the story has to be. The payoff is going to be something. Big. There's no way you're doing all this. And it's just, you know, maybe it's a world where what we thought was going to happen when.

So remember back when Solo had his team? And then Roman had hi the the new bloodline and the old bloodline. And everybody online was fantasy booking, like, oh man, Rock's gonna, Rock's gonna come and join the new, like. I don't know, man. I'm I'm just I'm just looking at the tea leaves and and and There's a chance, there's a chance.

That's my bad. There's a chance, there's a chance. And yeah. Oh so you know the rock about to start singing? Ah yeah.

Hey, man. What can't he do? I'm a support no matter what. There you go. Hey, you could call me a glazer or whatever you want.

Hey, will y'all some haters? All right. That was my favorite wrestler. of all time.

So, um politely Take your opinion. Shine it up real nice. Lem no, lom no. No. Shine it up real nice.

Turn that some bitch sideways and stick it straight up your candy ass. O'Shea Jackson Jr.

So what's next, bruv? Peace. I'm glad, I'm glad, because if I'd have done it and you didn't do it, I'd have been. Kind of upset that was a quick lob, too. And then, you know, in the tournament, we have that tournament to see who's going to face Roman Reigns on the September 14th episode of Raw in Mexico City.

We had Penta defeat the Laredo kid. I thought this was a great match. The crowd did not pass the vibe check. That crowd, where were they again? They were in.

I don't know, somewhere in the Midwest. Yeah, who gives a shit, Bill? All right, because, like, dog, they were just, I mean, at one point, Laredo, and I guess you are the hill because they're going to cheer Penta, but the fans were so silent, these guys were just balling. Yeah, Pent and Laredo could put on a match, man, and Penta got the dub. He moves on in the tournament, and you can see the bracket here: the World Heavyweight Championship, number one contenders tournament.

Um, got psycho clown and La Parka, who somebody online said LA Knight should be LA Parka. I'm like, oh, okay, that would be wild if he just jumped in there and La Parka got to the front because WCW used to be great at that, putting someone else under a mask. Yep, I can remember being a kid, you know, I'm a little bit older than you, obviously, but I can remember being a kid and watching uh NWA wrestling back in the day and Tommy Wildfire Rich, who I've mentioned many times, he was in a storyline with Ted DiBiase before he became the million-dollar man. And it was something like Tommy Rich lost, I think, a loser league town match. All of a sudden, a guy named Mr.

R. A mass wrestling Mr. R comes. Hmm, Tommy Rich is gone, but Mr. R comes.

And Ted DiBiase is so upset. This goes on for weeks. He finally gets a match. He's defending, I believe, the National Heavyweight Championship against Mr. R.

Finally, after like weeks of trying to tell everybody it was Tommy Rich, and then. During the match, all of a sudden Tommy Rick shows up at the podium with Gordon Soli and Ted DiBiase's confused. He pulls off the mask. It's Brad Armstrong and gets him one, two, three. And he wins.

He becomes, I believe, the Georgia National Heavyweight Champion.

So you just know it's him the entire time. And it's not. It's like if Grande Americano turned out to be like Somebody randomly the whole time. How about that?

So, yeah, the tournament, if we could bring that tournament back up, we have. Penta moving on. He's moving on in the tournament. Run! If we could pull that back up real quick, yeah, there we go.

And then we have Dragon Lee. He's gonna. Take on Dr. Wagner. Wow, could they put like a longer name?

Oh, that's Dr. Wagner. We just leave it at that. Ray Phoenix. Who I think is going to win that match.

I think ultimately it's going to come down. I think we're going to see Phoenix and Penta. Which way everyone wants to see that'd be a great one-on-one match. And you know what? Because everyone wants to see it, Dragon League's going to be Phoenix for sure.

Hey, you never know. But the winner does get that heavyweight title shot against the Tribal Chiefs.

So see, everyone's kind of like. I think we're just talking about tag teams that we want to see together and didn't mention. Lucha Bros. Lucha Bros. We'll see where that goes.

But yeah, like I said, the crowd was a little too dead for my liking in this match. Didn't like it. Fury defeated Tozawa. By the way, Tozawa has been in the WWE for 10 years. I was reading that.

Yep.

He's found a way to hang on, man. I'm about to start looking up his matches before he got to the WWE to know why he got picked up at this point, bro. Like, I'm like, oh, he was the Cazawa was a beast. He was a bigger. Which is a bigger dude back then.

He lost a lot of weight. Yeah. Well, no, he's bigger. He lost weight. He was a little had a little bit more of a power still set to him.

Oh, he was yoked. He was a little bit more yoked. Yeah, then he lost weight.

So, Dragon Lee defeats Dirty Dom. And all I got to say is, what is happening? This is no disrespect. You got to know what we're talking about. But this is Dirty Dom.

Like, he the other day we were talking about who are the pillars, the four pillars, and I. We forgot to mention Dom. Bro. Just that crowd response, but it's just like. You can't have Dawn beat John Cena and then job him out.

Like, he's the triple H champion, man. Like.

I don't like what's going on with Dom. I don't think Dom likes what's going on with Dom. I mean, wasn't he just number one best wrestler? 30 to 30? Yeah.

And he was over MJF on that list. Yeah. You know, so that's. A lot of people thought that was crazy. Yeah.

I mean, rightfully so. But so. What are we doing? I mean, it could lead to Maybe there's a world where this is them getting. Getting Dom frustrated with Judgment Day.

You know, like there could be, there's a number of ways that they could kind of flip him being frustrated about the losses because, like, we're supposed to have these numbers game and All I got is JD. Yeah. All I got is JD now. You know? Is it time to add somebody?

Yeah, or like, you know, live. Like, you kind of came here and like, you got, you know, you got the Powerpuff girls over here with the hard R's. The hard R's. But, like. I'm shortchanged now.

You know, I'm not winning now. Like, so there's a world there. Or, Or? I could just shut the hell up. Like, you know, like, he's losing.

He's losing. It's just what's happening. There might not be a plan at all. We don't like it, though. No, I don't like it.

I don't like it a lot. Even though the Padres lose all the time. And then we had Sol Ruca and Eo Sky defeated the Hardars, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez, and, you know. Match with it as you thought it would, a little outside interference, a little shenanigans. Yeah, Sol hit a great soul snatcher on Roxy to get the win.

And I know I always look into this camera and I tell you all the time, not worried about Roxanne. Roxanne's gonna be fine. But at some point, starting to get a little pissed off. Roxanne can't keep eating every pin. Yeah, man.

I think I've seen her win three times. But to go back to what I said earlier, I'm shocked that they didn't make Raquel take the L because she's brand new champion. She's a brand new champion. Yeah. So I don't, yeah, I mean, I still feel Roxanne's gonna be fine.

Yeah. But dang, man. Come on. Come on. Yeah, give me, give me.

Like, you. Can I get 50-50 booking with her? Yeah, like, there has to be something that. keeps you at the restaurant, you know, there has to be something that like like You gotta send me some hope, baby. Sell me some hope because if I'm just watching it, like, remember when.

I couldn't remember the last Finn victory. I'm having a hard time right now. Remember in the last fin of it. He beat Dom. Yeah, that's Yeah, that's the last one I remember.

Yes, like it is. I don't know everything that goes into booking a wrestling show, and I recognize that as a fan and just enjoy the product. But. I am also a podcast host. And I got questions.

Yeah, we need answers. I got questions about everyone in the Judgment Day. It just got to the point where somebody besides Liv can win something. Right. So it's, it's.

It's a delicate thing that they have to pay attention to. Because The Judgment Day at one point Was the second biggest stable under Blood, right? You know, and now we're staples Monday Nikki. They were staples of Monday Night Raw. They were on TV every week.

They were holding gold. They still got gold. I mean, look. Still, two members are still champions right now. They just got done with a Dan Housen soccer.

They got to shake that off. Yeah, I mean, look. It's got to get serious. Danhausen's over with the kids. And, like I said last week, the best wrestling fan is the new wrestling fan.

If you only know WWE through this new ESPN partnership, then the two biggest stars are Oba Femi and Danhausen. What a spectrum. That is crazy. Yep.

You know what I mean?

And then we didn't even talk about the fact. Let's get on the whole because we skipped over. I mean, we kind of touched on Tozawa. Yeah. Touch on whatever I want.

In theory, but. The braun breaker starting to like get that thousand-yard stare, yeah, about Oba Femi. I like where this is going, Gabby Douglas don't like this. I like where this is going, man, because now Braun is like, Yeah, wait a minute, so you think, and he's going everybody. Paul Heyman.

You think Oberfemmis is the face? Is he better than me? This is kind of goes back to entourage, right? Oh, another, another entourage. I'd like to pull that.

Remember at one point, Vince went to Ari's office and he said, Ari, do you think I'm a good actor? He goes, Well, I didn't sign you because I thought you were a good actor. I signed you because I thought you were a movie star. And there is a difference, folks. Ooh.

There is a difference. Oh. Great actor and a movie star don't always go hand in hand. Nope. So it's kind of like.

Braun's asking Paul that.

So you think... What do you think of me, essentially? And it's not the same, but you could see the correlation there, right? He's going to someone he trusts, someone he respects. Am I a good actor?

Am I do you think he's uh the face over me? And Paul's like, Until you tell me, show me that he's not. Yeah. So I like this brawn breaker kind of like crash out that's happening. He's the jealousy of Oba.

You know, the jealousy of Simone. Oh man, that's another So luckily, Braun. Comes from a family that was in the business.

So he likes completely understands it. But if you now, if you. If you'd pull that with a superstar who's not mentally mature enough to like, you know, recognize that like, oh, there's money to be made here. Yeah. I don't know, but I'm pretty sure Brian Breaker gets it.

Oh, 100 vision. Yeah. We're looking at, you know, like I said, he, Oba Femi, Jacob fought too. Those are some monsters that we want to see, you know, get along with.

So again, I'm interested, man. Yep.

I'm interested. You got you. Another thing I want to get on. Just another aside, people always talk about people not defending titles. And remember, I brought this up before that, like, no one ever mentioned the fact that Penta was doing a great job representing that IC title and having matches.

People don't really Give props to the fact that R-Truth and Damien Priest. Are out there each week trying to do something with these tag team titles, you know, with the Viking, are they Viking Raiders? I don't know. War Raiders. War, you know.

I just remember they were War Machine and ROH and they were dope.

Okay. Bro, just to hear the crowd, war, war, war. Like, oh, that's so sick. But yeah, so, you know, we got. Those two tag teams, now we have the Tongans.

They're in the mix. Maybe Nakamura with whoever he gets as a partner.

So, yeah. Maybe the these tag team titles that people s Want to throw, you know, in the back seat and not really pay attention to. Maybe we should be giving these guys more props and putting a little bit more effort into these tag teams. Yeah, it's. What Yeah.

It's one of those things like, um As a man You know, to our lady listeners, here's just a little. tidbit into the man psychology. Uh Everything that ladies do for makeup. I don't Like, you know, I i it is I don't see it. I don't see it.

Until it's not there. All right. And that's when something's missing.

Something's off. She doesn't have her lashes in yet. But like something's off, and you can't tell what it is. But like when it's the full product, everything blends together so nicely that you don't even realize. all the details that make it good.

And that's how I feel about the tag team. I'm like These uh these these teams there They're entertaining superstars. They know what they're doing in the ring. Why does it not feel like it felt when I remember the tag team division at its best? Why do I not see What am I missing from such and such that I had with the Hardys, with Edgen Christian, with the Dudleys?

Like, what am I. not seeing where I cared as much as I did back then. And they gotta put their finger on that button. You know, when I think about the Hardys, and I think about the Dudleys and Edge and Christian. Both guys were interesting.

Like, both sides of the team were interesting. There wasn't like one that I felt like they should go solo. Yeah. It was like they're both carrying a little bit. and interesting storylines helps.

Not trying to get on y'all, but I'm just. It's just. I could just like not give a damn. when I see the tag teams on and I don't get why. Yeah, 'cause you like priests, you like truth.

Like I said, I'm trying to give them props. Yeah, but they're they. Both are super, you want to hear them both speak. Like, you, you, those are tips. They playoffs super interesting.

Yeah, and they love each other well. Truth always getting them in some stuff. Yeah, the chemistry is there. The chemistry, maybe that's, I don't know, because then when I think about Fraxium, I love those guys. Yeah.

Oh, man. We need to. I need to call them. We got to play some games. I got to hit up AJ Styles.

I said I was going to hit him up and talk about games. You know, he's got his own podcast he started. Yeah, we should just mob his shit. We guess now. He might be cool with it.

Anyway, man. You know, I'm going to go off on a tandem. Yeah, tag teams, though. Tag teams need to be. We'll see.

We'll see. Look, but look, they're trying. Before they there were years where they just took the tag teams and put them to the side, like I said, threw them in the back seat and didn't show them any love.

So now at least we're getting something. Right. And. Can we put it on Kane and somebody random? By the way, back in the day, you know.

Punk, I think it said something to either truth or priest about. He made a joke about maybe coming after the tag team titles. But back in the day, like the early 2000, late 90s, WWE, that's what we would have got. We would have got Punk and Cody would have, on a random episode of Raw or SmackDown, they would have won the tag team belts and then taken them into their match with like they're the co-tag team, they're the tag team champions, but now they got a one-on-one match. That happened all the time.

All the time. I mean, Bob Backlund and Pedro Morales, where Backlund was the world champion, they beat the Samoans for the tag belts. You know, uh. John Cena has done it with Batista. Yeah.

Triple H and Stone Cold did it. They were tag team. There were so many I can't even think of right now. David Otunga and Cena were tag team champions at one point. Oh my God.

Yeah. So it's something that they traditionally used to do a lot. Eddie and Ray. Yeah. So I was kind of shocked that, you know, if this was back in the day, Punk and Cody would have been tag team champions.

That's just a weird aside that we yeah, bro. We don't have much for you, but you're kicking it with the homies. It's a kicking in with the homies episode. And someone said that. Many people have said that in the comments.

It's. You know, it's like sitting around with my boys, my friends, just talking, wrestling. And that's what we wanted, right? Yeah. So, NXT, we'll move on to them real quick.

We didn't have a chance to congratulate our guys, Miles Bourne and Tavion Heights, for winning the NXT Tag Team titles last week. Congrats to them. And they got to the locker room and they basically said, Any one of y'all can get it. Yeah. Whoever wants some can come get some.

So now we got Miles with the two belts, Tavion, tag team champions. I'd love to see where they go. Ultimately, you know, I wouldn't mind seeing those two come up together in some type of new shield type of faction. Ooh. You know, I know they got, you know.

Okay. No, maybe not. Maybe, I don't know. I always think about this. They would make, you know, like they're doing it with Dark State, kind of, but like, I don't know.

Right now, I'm really down with Miles and Tavion.

So we'll see. We'll see where that goes. Grayson Waller, we didn't really talk about the pipe bomb that he dropped a couple weeks ago that got everybody in NXT in their feelings. They got everybody saying. Everybody's saying.

But yeah, he had a match last night against Mike Santana, who is now known as Frank. Cruise. Montana. Cruise, Montana. I dig it.

Cruz, Montana, Mike Santana. Cruise Which was his dad's, I believe his dad's nickname.

Okay, okay. Cruz, Montana. Hey, I'm going to need to get used to it. I was mad that they changed Walter to Gunther, and now I love it. If what I'm reading is correct.

But yeah, Cruise Montana against Grayson Waller. And then we had, at the end of that match, we had a debut that we've been kind of waiting for for a while. Zilla fought too. Yeah, man.

Zilla. Yeah, Zillafart 2 made his, I guess, long-awaited, eagerly anticipated NXT debut. He kind of jumped in the ring during that match. By the way. That was a hell of a pop.

Yeah. And it's going to be hard to ignore. Let's be honest. He's not going to get ignored. His last name's Fat 2.

But I think they just proved the fans were ready. I saw a fan video where a fan, as they're recording, caught him sneaking through the back, and he's like, It's Zilla! It's Zilla! And he's screaming. It was kind of like I was watching Hard Knocks the first episode, and these kids were trying to get autographs.

And this one kid saw Jackson Smith and Jigba. And he's, I mean, it was kind of cool because he's probably like 11, 12 years old. And he sees JSN and he's just jumping up and down, screaming, JSN, JSN. And that's how this guy was. It's Zillah too.

So he already had the pop. People would say that it was like a Godzilla movie because it's deal though. Yeah. Everyone knew Zillow Vot 2. He's going to keep his name.

They're going to make him change his name. It's too good to change. Because if you leave it, Fat 2, then you got to instantly put him in that situation. If they change the name. It gives him a little bit more runway, right?

But ultimately, we all know who he is. Just like Jacob, we know where it's going, so he's got to get down there, find out where the hard cam is, learn the WWE. I don't see him probably being in NXT long, but people like complete opposite of the Rado Kid Penta match. The NXT crowd was into Zilla. And Tony D standing there watching him.

And he's, you know, of course, he's going to have his eye on that title, probably on Grayson, probably on Cruz, probably on anybody. Will, you know, who Real Rooks, is that his name now? Real. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Right?

No, Mason Rook. Mason Rook. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Mason Rook. I guess I should have known that.

Hey, Will Rook. That reminds me. You know what word I what words I can't say? What? Uh rival rivalry week.

Rivalry rivalry week. That Go to hell. Like them putting those words together and like trying to say it fast when I'm on live TV or something. I just try to not say it. Not really.

Rivalry week. Stupid. Yeah, it was Will.

Now it's Mason. Mason will.

So yeah, there's going to be a lot of people for him to get busy with down there, man.

So yeah, but Zilla's there. It was a great video of his somebody recorded his mom watching NXT. She didn't know he was debuting. And Mamazilla lost. If you ever watch her, she's about that life.

Oh, this that she's live streaming. Yeah, she's about that life, by the way. Yeah, bro. All of them. She's about that life.

But her losing her mind to see her baby. That was search that out. Look for it. I mean, Triple H didn't. Didn't make Jacob change his name.

Because, you know, Jacob tells the story about like they give you the list of names or whatever, and then he was like, before. Uh I I I asked Chevrolets was like, what, you know, what? It's gonna be my name. Oh, Jacob Pop too. Yeah.

So, like. We might run into it, but everybody knows the writing is on the wall anyway, man. Let me keep my shit. And for people that don't know, Zilla is Umaga's son. Yeah.

And boy, when he gets to screaming, he looks just like Joe.

So you got a couple guys who've been taking some of your dad's. I know Punk hates moveset, but it is what it is.

So we're going to see that flying Samoan spike that he does, you know, that Solo's move. He don't jump and do it the way Zilla does it. You know, some of the moves Jacobs does has come from Omaga.

So that might be an interesting promo down the line for sure. Basically, if you. Are you over the bloodline storyline? If you're over this whole thing, then you might as well find something else to do. Because I will say, there's not the only one I know.

Zillow was like the last one.

Well, his mom is holding the baby. That's somebody's baby. Roman got five kids. Jacob got, what, seven? I mean, like.

Big Jim got one. Jay got two, one or two. Like, yeah, this bloodline and storyline, it ain't ever going. Can't stop. Won't stop.

Uh-uh.

So, like Ric Flair said, if you don't like it, Learn to love it. Yeah. Imagine that. This dude's like, think about what Blair said. It wasn't like he was trying to comfort you.

It wasn't like he was like, well, look, if you don't like this, then we'll go ahead and switch some stuff up. No, Rick Flair's like, if you don't like it, learn to love it because it's the best thing going the day. That would piss me off so much. It's like uh Cry me a river, build a bridge, real glass, get over it. Real glass.

Real glass. Oh man, so yeah, NXT, things are popping down there, things are popping on RAW, things are popping on SmackDown. And then I was gonna say something about NXT. Oh, yeah. And with NXT, There has to be Just to piggyback a little bit on what Grayson Waller said.

in his pipe bomb promo. But He's absolutely right in saying that Somebody has to step up. And be the You know, one of the staples. I think that's Tony D, though. Yeah, like Tony is champ, though.

Like, I need, I need, it's one thing to have who I am coined my best player to be doing what he's supposed to do. But if I can get them role players to be stars, then you got a product that is going crazy. And I'm saying all this to say that because I know what NXT is, I know it's developmental. I know they're finding their ways. There's hunger.

But what I'm saying is. We need to have some people for that John Cena invitational, which is coming up. When you think about what that Saturday night's main event was. Man, Ruka is an older. It was like.

These people are without a shout out. They are without. They are next. Yeah, in fact. And I need to see who's gonna be that guy to get, you know, to For the company to be like, nah, you need to be paying attention to this right here.

Because when I saw Zilla come in and how that crowd.

sounded to him Bro, he sounded like He sounded like he was supposed to be top dog, right? Yeah, like that's how the fans reacted. Yeah, so I'm just saying. If I was somebody on NXT, I'd be highly motivated that this dude. Just ran in here.

And blew the roof off the place. Yeah, but that's nothing that anyone can do anything about right now. No, but it's motivating. It's motivating, but like, yeah. You're not going to get that reaction because you're not him.

But there are dogs down there, man. There are people that are hungry. You know, Miles Bourne is hungry. Tabian Heights is hungry. Stand out.

You got out. I mean, they got gold. They got gold, you know. Like I said, you standing out, right? Mason Rooks is hungry.

Keanu Carver is hungry. I like that guy. He likes his music.

Well, he don't like you because he don't like nobody. Yeah, you know what I mean? My man don't like nobody down there. You know what I'm saying? He could be a problem.

So, yeah, there's some definitely some cats down there that Tristan Angels. You know, a lot of people took umbrage with what Grayson said.

So Umbridge.

So, yeah, that's going to hopefully, I think a fire is already lit under a lot of these cats. It's going to make them turn it up a little bit higher. Like I said, man, you got to step up now because people. People are coming from the top show now to try to take your spot. You don't want that to happen.

Yeah, man.

And we need people on NCW. Yeah. Bring your ass. Come on now. Hashtag bring your ass.

And then tonight, you know, we got AEW Dynamite. It's Wednesday. You know what that means. What I saw announced so far for their card, pretty interesting for the number two spot in the AEW all-in casino gauntlet match. Nick Wayne, shout out to Mother Wayne.

The best timing on looking at the camera. Versus MJF versus Speedball, Mike Bailey. That's going to be a triple threat. We got a TNT championship match. You know what matches I always like with Speedball?

I feel like him and Fletcher. Like, always put on a high-quality match together. It's never on a pay-per-view.

Well, that's funny 'cause you put on you name two people who put on good matches just in general. Kyle Fletcher, always gonna be in a good match. Peebo, Mike Bailey's always gonna be in a good match. I enjoy watching them go at it, but it's never on the pay-per-view.

Well, they're even better.

Now I get it for free.

So. And then we got the TNT Championship match. Kevin Knight's gonna take on Chris Jericho tonight. Break the walls down!

Now Legend of the majority. I will be physically ill. I will be physically ill. Because the I'm not going to get into detail because respect to Chris Jericho. You can't.

I mean, Chris Jericho is religion in the game, bro. Yeah, bro. So I'm going to just be chill and say, go, Kevin Knight.

Well, no, don't beat your way. I mean, you can't really. You better not beat Kevin Knight.

Well, I think Chris. You know what? People are going to say I'm saying that because he black. It's a portion of it. Chris Jericho's at a point now where just his name is elevating people, and he's doing great work since he's come back.

He and Chompa put on some bangers.

So I'm not going to say that he's going to win, but I feel like he's going to help elevate Kevin Knight. And I think that's. I just think about that Champa match and like. That ending was not what I needed it to be, bro. I couldn't tell why the ref was calling for the bell.

He was with the drill, man. He took the drill, and all of a sudden, it was like, oh, yeah, that was the match. Like, he was supposed to put, like, was that a stipulation? Like, did he tap? What happened?

Chris Jericho wins. Shut up. All right. All right, cool, bro.

Well, it's a little deeper than that, but we'll move on. Continental Cup challenge. First-round match, Jungle Jack Perry against John Moxley. And then another first-round match in that continental Moxley better win that match. Jay White against David Finley.

So, Son of Fit, we'll see how that goes. Jay White, I heard that.

Someone put out that he got hurt, and I hope that's not the case. Obviously, if he's got a match tonight, he must not be hurt. We need Jay White to stay healthy. Yeah, what did he just recently? He just came back, man.

That's what I'm saying. And he was gone. Like, I want to say. It was over a year.

So we need a healthy Jay White because wrestling's better when Jay White. Is healthy, man.

So, yeah, man.

So, yeah, that's some good stuff to look forward to in AW tonight. Also, I'm sure we'll see Willow, and that'll be fun. You know, Mercedes will be there, Tecla will be there, Stat Daddy will be there, Sky Blue will be there. You know, um Meet Anna Jay there. I'm just throwing out some names of people who like the C and AEW.

But yeah, the Kyle Fletcher thing is my man is so good. He's a beast. He's so good. He's a beast. Like.

I you know, I was really annoyed when he cut his hair. Yeah, I remember he did that. He wanted to separate himself from Osprey, right?

So he went, but now he's got that Randy Orton 09 look. Then he got all tatted up, but it didn't. He did it. I think he's more like in yes. I mean, the comparisons to Randy are there, but I think when he has, you know, his rock star shit on, he reminds me of.

Brad Pitt in the beginning of the third act of Fight Club, where he randomly has a shaved head, them glasses, and like, you know, just yeah, the whole nine when he's outside the van and stuff. That's who he reminds me of. That's who I think he embodies.

Okay. Brad Pitt in Fight Club. In the third act, not the Right.

So, yeah, so that's good. Touch a little AEW, touch a little touch what I want. Touch a little AEW, we touch a little raw, little SmackDown. Little NXT, we touch a lot of idiots. Yeah.

You know, just coming out. You know, and I don't know, man. I'm excited. It's going to be a good week of wrestling, I feel. I'm looking forward to SmackDown.

See where everything's going there. Yeah, man.

Who knows? We don't know. That's one thing we never know. Hey, I know who knows. Bo Jackson.

Is there something that you're looking forward to? After all the things we talked about, is there a feud? Is there a match? Just something that we spoke about that you're like, I can't wait to see. Because I said I'm looking forward to SmackDown.

What are you looking forward to? Man. You know me, man. Ooh, baby, I like it raw Sorry. But I uh I want to see Solo.

And Jay and Jacob all forced to mingle in this bloodline. You know, Jimmy and Roman. have kind of been in the background. You know, kind of been out of it. You know, the old dogs of the crew.

But Honestly, that might not be a bad spot to put Jimmy at. But either way. I know there's going to be some gold in that television right there. You finally got all three brothers back together, and now with Jacob. It is a you got Jacob and Jay, they're a few that they've done.

Jacob in Solo, what they got going on from the new bloodline. I love you, Solo. And then, you know, Solo and Jay just finish scrapping and going back and forth.

So like There's tension all through that little triangle right there. And That makes for interesting television. And I'm excited for it. A nut. I gotta say this on like a real note.

You know, we we like to think of people that watch us as friends and, you know, family and. You know, if you've got some problems, come to us. I just want to read this. We got a DM in our. In our um In our inbox from a brother named Jason Perard.

I don't want to read the whole thing, but basically, he reached out, said he's a big fan of the show, what we do in the wrestling world. Jason just kind of, you know, he admitted to me that he's kind of going through it right now. Life kind of has beating him down. He's going through some stuff. And You know, he's just like, I'm going through it.

I'm struggling. I'm all alone. I don't know what to do. Please just give me a shout out, man. I need it.

So, to Jason, man, whatever you're going through, brother, like. Just hold it hang in there, dog, because Mm-hmm. Everything tends to get better, right?

Sometimes we get tested. We get taken to our lowest of lows before we're ultimately. Before we ultimately see the bigger picture in real life, the light at the end of the tunnel.

So, Jason, whatever you're going through, brother, we wish you the best. We're sending you love from us and just hang in there, dog. You know, it'll get better. I'd love to say I can promise you that. I can't, but I hope it does.

And I hope things turn around for you, man. And just know if you don't think you have any friends, you most certainly got two right here with us, man.

So keep your head up, dog. Jason, whatever it is, man. This too shall pass. It is a store, you know? That's all I can give you to visualize whatever's happening.

This too shall pass. It's just about you weathering the storm, honkering down, and. There's so much life and things and In wrestling, that we don't want you to miss out on. We can't not have you.

So, I will say something that I tell myself and my close friends whenever. They're going through a storm. Uh life's a bitch. Life is tough. But that bitch is not tougher than you, dog.

So, like, lock in, baby. We'll be here. Make sure you there too. Shout out to Jason. No doubt, Jay.

Well, I think that that's about it.

Well, I just wanted to make sure I got that out, man, because if I mean, look, if someone's going to come to us with something like this, like that kind of. That kind of means a lot, man, because somebody sees something in us that they want to reach out and tap in with us and maybe a word from us will help get them through the day. To me, that sounds wild because it's just, I'm looking at like. Who am I? But like, yeah, man, if that's.

If that gets you through this day, man, I'll say hello every day to get you through a day. Yeah, man.

So, uh. And anyone else out there going through it. You know what I'm saying? Everything we said to him applies to you too. Absolutely, man.

Now. I know where I'm going. But TJ, can you tell them where to find us? Oh, yeah, so. To catch up with us, and I'm thinking this is episode.

I think we're episode 97 now. I think 97. Yeah, I believe this is 97.

So, to watch all of our episodes from one to this one, you simply go to the Rich Heisen Show YouTube page or type in No Contest Wrestling. You'll be able to find all of our videos.

Now, for your airgate, if you want to listen to us, find us on the ESPN app, on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, wherever you listen to podcasts. And then on social media, of course, on Twitter, we're at There's No Contest. On Instagram, we're at No Contest Wrestling Podcasts. And on TikTok, we're at no contest wrestling pod, man. And On August 28th, I'll be in the theater near you.

Make sure you guys have a good day. But not too good, cause who the hell do you think you are? Bye, Frankie. I mean, bye, Miss Parker. My bad.

Okay. Oh, you gotta go stand up. But check out my t-shirt. Yeah, smooth. Bye, Miss Parker.

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless bill. It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better.

Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it. Happy ending, zero tears. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/slash switch. Up front payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, $180 for a 12-month plan required.

$15 per month equivalent to taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes means slow when network is busy. See terms.
