Now, hold on. Before we start this no contest episode, I gotta ask TJ, and you gotta tell me the truth, okay? Are you a member at nine four six? Hey, you never know. Don't do that, bro.

Because I don't know. It's getting. Disgustingly crazy. Nobody's safe though. All right, man.

Listen, this is your first headphone warning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another Wednesday episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast. I am the heel that you love to hate, O.J. Jackson Jr. Hey.

K. A. Petty Guerrero. Hey, yo! It's me.

It's me. It's the T. W. O. The J.

I. Double G. Two J. G. T.

J. Jefferson. What's up, good brother? Madness, T. J.

That's what's up, good brother. Madness. It is insanity. I thought. I thought nine four six was Oakland's area code.

Now I know. I know damn well, Cruz is not from Oakland. He from the BK. He's just the homies that Royce Keys has just. Gotten to buy in.

Look, he's assembling the crew, right? And and and it started off with the cats that were local. Yep. But then now they're expanding. Yeah, bro, expanding is right.

When that all went down on Monday night, bro. I guess we're just gonna hop right. Yeah. And we got solo against Royce Keys. That was like a biggie special.

That was a two meaty man slapping meat. Yeah. Tight, tight, tight magic going on, man. And that was your five star. That's not me.

Me, I went too too big, meaty man, big meaty man slapping me, and that's what it was. Roy's keys and solo, and then of course the nine four six they came through. You know they they jump solo, and then solo kind of scooted out the ring. Yeah, I was like smart move, smart. Yeah, I wish they would be smarter.

Sometimes you got to understand that the odds is against you. Yeah, man.

So he's sitting there, and then he gets a smile on his face. I'm like solo, I don't know what you're smiling. They about to come out and get you. Yeah. And then, yeah, bro.

The droves of liberation, boom, boom, yes, and it's like, oh, it's about to go, yeah, now, but you knew, you knew they' not about to do a repeat of last week, so something is afoot, and I got, I didn't think it was afoot. I just thought it was going to get a good little battle. We was there live in in living color at San Diego when they did it the first time, so I was like, there's no way we about to end the show the same way because like Bloodline got that, so and then I start. Getting nervous, I'm like, Roman is standing next to Solo for a long time.

Okay, now he's moving, and then so I was like, okay, so Solo, Solo really is just down for the bloodline. They're scrapping. Let me give you time out.

So by saying that, we're somewhere in your mind thinking one of these two going to flip. Yeah, I was like, it's like you know, I was thinking like maybe it's Solo about to. Hit Roman with the Samoans, like you know, but it moved on. We all start scrapping again the same way that it happened in San Diego, and then. There's another masked man, and WWE, you have got to do something about these sheisties.

There's a sheisty every month, man. Who's running security around here, or maybe they have stock in the sheisty garments, and they're making money. Hand over foot. I hope it ain't the same one. But so there's a new figure, and I saw the move.

I saw the move, and I was like, "Uh oh!" Then he showed, I saw the eyebrows. I'm like, "Uh oh!" See, I didn't pick up on the move till I rewatched it. Yeah, I was like, "That's Cruz." I didn't pick up on my sister. Kramer goes, "No, it's not." War when he lifted that, and it was Cruz. I didn't know that.

I didn't know it was him. He had to spin the block, didn't? Because it was like, oh, there's someone else. And right, right off the bat, now because everyone's tatted, his sleeves are okay. Yeah, there's no hand tags.

Looking, looking, looking. All right, so I don't know who this is. I'm like, I can't think. And then he's standing there, and I'm still. I didn't know until he pulled the chains out.

Yeah, I went, "Cruise," and it, and it just. I don't know why, dog. It makes sense. Yes, I don't know why. Makes sense.

Makes sense. They all they got that that same type of that grungy street character. Why not? Let's put them together. Let's make this super group.

And you know, this is just another reminder. Y'all gotta start watching NXT, baby.

Well, who's this guy? Yeah, man, you gotta start watching NXT. It give you the blueprint. Of what's gonna happen next? What's gonna be the hottest thing?

I disagree. There was no blueprint that was gonna. Oh no! This was gonna happen. No way.

But you at least know the stars of of tomorrow. And also, if you watch the No Contest Wrestling podcast, you know that this man has been on this show. That's two different people, right? Two times. Yeah, I'm gonna go get the papers.

Get the papers. Shout out to Cruz, friend of the show, good guy. But now I gotta boo you, man.

Well, that's how you.

Now I gotta boo you, man.

Now I gotta boo you. I've been crying for Mello.

Now I gotta boo you, even though I was already gonna boo Mello. See a Celtic fan, gross, disgusting. But.

Now nine four six. Like I said, that fifth man has finally arrived, and now we are waiting for the next full moon because we got to get a werewolf back.

Now Jada Parker, I understand your driving skills are somewhat of a Mario Kart styling. By the way, I ain't booing Jada. Just so you know. Yeah, bro, you go whoop your ass. That's fine.

That's just one I got to take. You know, when I took that picture with her, she yelled at me before she took the picture. Yeah, bro, probably had a knife in your back, right? But now we waiting for Jacob, and then I'm thinking like, is it going to be Jacob? There's no, there's no way to know where things are going to go just yet.

It's too strong right there. That's strong right there. Bro, they had. First of all, you got to. There was multiple shots of you choking out the chief.

Yo, he was beating the dog crap out. Yeah, he got beating them on. Yeah, and also like it just looked right, size wise. Yeah, you know, it looked like they're all formidable. Yeah, all formidable.

Yes, you know. Uh, but by the way, and going back to San Diego, and I say this again: when nine four six is beating up Jimmy when he got handcuffed, do you notice these cats? We're pulling each other and throwing each other off of him. Go back and watch his videos on on social media. Like one guy would, two guys would get Jimmy down.

One of them would pull the guy in his own group, throw him, yeah, and then stop. And then the other guy would come in and pull. Like these ninjas, bro. Listen, they circled you. I'm telling you, Bronco and Lucian circled you when we were backstage because you was booing them, and I was worried because they had the look on their face.

These cats are a problem. I'm gonna tell you right now. These cats are a problem. I'm gonna tell you right now. TKO don't have the money it would cost for them to touch O'Shea Jackson Jr.

But so what they reminded me of is for anybody who watches animal documentaries as much as I do, wildlife documentaries, they look like a pack of the. Not hyenas, but there's another dog out in the savanna. They it's like an African the wild dogs. They got these big ass bad ears, and then when you get a pack of them, it is like they're like the devil dogs, bro. But they were just like they would look like chum in the water.

It looked like sharks. It looked like you know how the picture of this group was supposed to look. But now that bloodline got a rebuttal, and y'all got a rebuttal, real, real well, because it's too early for Zilla. Zilla's doing great things over at NXT right now.

So, is we waiting on the full moon? We are waiting for the Samoan Werewolf, and when he comes back, he is going to come back with a vengeance, and probably with a you know. Hopefully, cousin Trinity, because you got to get his getback for Danger, bro. Hit me with a car, yeah, right. You hit me with a car, and you didn't do it for the Rock, all right.

You did it for nine four six, and it is man, it's juicy right now, and it's looking a little scary because you are building this team up really high, and at Survivor Series at War Games. I'm like, did you build him this high to lose to the bloodline? I don't think so. Think so because the whole they're in the star-making business. We always talk about, yeah, man, you got a chance to make stars.

Swinging a little bit, bro. Swinging a little bit. Why do you think it was okay for Cruz to sit there and beat Roman's hand like head like a drum because Roman's already a star. He's already so what's his what's his job now? Yeah, to make stars.

Gifts, gifts.

So yeah, gifts. Follow the follow the golden path. It is a rest in peace, my uncle Star. That was what he used to say. But also nine four six adding two NXT champions in Carmelo and in Cruz.

Adding a former world champion with Cruz. You know his TNA days, different name. You know, but the dude has the pedigree to have a solo career, and you're adding him to the group. They are stacked now. It is a gully, and like bloodline, bro.

We need to call a team huddle. All right. I know y'all Niners fans doing very well right now, but Oakland, all right. They they got they got you guys a little bit with the the obvious Boston and Brooklyn connection, but it is thick right now. It is thick, yeah, and it's dope, right?

Dope because it. It's given us something to look forward to, something exciting, and it's believable. Like I said, Bronco and Lucian, I really believe those two cats got a little something, a little Cruz up here, man. They do, bro. Like, yo, and and then you know, people who aren't familiar with Cruz Montana, aka Mike Santana, yeah, get get ready because Cruz is not his original name.

Cruz is Mike Santana. That's how they get you, yeah. But Cruz is easy. He is a very good professional wrestler, and if you're not familiar with him, the way a lot of people seem to not be familiar, even though he's been at every promotion, every promotion. Oh, you watch TNA?

Well, he was there. You watch AEW? Oh, he was there. Yeah, and NXT, been around the world and aye, aye, aye. Yeah, so it's really cool.

Like, like I know you said you got a boom and all that, but on the real tip, like he is couldn't happen to a better guy. Yeah, we've had some great combos with him. Yeah, man, really dope dude.

So we're happy for him. Roster, and now he's on the main roster, man. It was so cool too. It was so cool too because you know, social media wise, he was showing that you know he was saying Halloween was him and his daughter's favorite thing. Right?

He goes, so she was sad because she thought that they were going to be spending Halloween apart, and he surprised his daughter. Took her out of school early.

Something you like to do? She's like, "What are we doing?" He's like, "Oh, we're going home. Get your bag. We're going to Florida." And so he took her to no Disney World in in Florida, right? Disneyland, L.A.

Were you the one who broke that down for me, or somebody did? Oh, the O.R.L. Yeah, that's how you tell. But so it was him and his daughter at Disney World, and she got to go to work with him, and that was really dope. You know, see the you know girl dad thing, and yeah.

I bet she didn't know what was going to happen on Monday. Yeah, I want. I wonder if he even knew what was going to happen. Exactly, exactly. Because you got to wonder.

Like sometimes we find out these plans get put in motion real quick. Yeah. Did he even know that he was about to get called up? Because right now he's got a storyline in NXT with Dion. With Dion, right?

So they they're about to have a little battle, which.

Now you got to figure nine four six guys are going to get involved in this.

So dark state. Because Royce Keys tweeted out Wednesday, ain't nobody safe.

So yeah.

So we're gonna, like I said, but this is fun, man. This is why we watch. Also, the people, you know, we we know Wednesday NXT is usually on Tuesday, and they moved to Wednesday. And everyone's like, "Oh, they're trying to counter program. They're trying to counter program." No, people.

Yesterday was election day. There were no NBA games. That I'm pretty sure that was the bigger reason for them to put NXT on Wednesday than we're just gonna counter program. But you never now here, you know, because you know people do tend to get a little, oh, petty. Oh, so who knows?

But I think the big scheme of things, like I said, it was election day. I hope everyone out voted. But being WWE, they just having a thing. While I'm here, while we're here, we might as well add John Cena. Might as well add Cody Rhodes.

Now we're adding nine four six and. Let's make a CM Punk go for the championship! Oh my God!

So yeah, I I don't think it started from a point of pettiness, but what do we know? I mean, I'm here, I'm in the neighborhood. I mean, you know what I'm saying? In the neighborhood. But yeah, so we'll get to that.

Not sure why. I don't know why. Yeah, but but you got John Cena coming out right. Yeah, John Cena. How'd you feel about uh?

How'd you feel? First of all, we when we had John Cena on, we spoke about. How cool it was for him to be pushing the business forward, making his last event a showcase for the talent of tomorrow, and having it in December. Which he explained to us has always been a a kind of a dry yeah dry era area for WWE and its ple's and things like that, and so of course lo and behold his what is it the Invitational yeah the John Cena Invitational will be taking place in December, having two Raws. You' gonna have two Raws the same day.

That's crazy. That's disgusting. They gonna air them the same day or just the same one? This is what the man said. He wouldn't have told us.

They're gonna have the normal Monday Night Raw and then. Towards the evening, which Monday Night Raw comes on at like five o'clock. I don't know what eight o'clock Eastern. Yes, but we get to earlier. Further, like I don't know how these times are going to go, but they're going to have his thing over at Disney World.

Yeah, not good for the people on the east, but for us, it's only going to be like seven. Hey, Mick. Hey, hey, Mickey. It's us. What's up, Mickey?

Work here. But so yeah, it's going down. He showed off a new belt, new belt. Yeah, new title. Looked good.

I liked it. Yeah, I thought it looked great.

Well, you know, some people won't, but yeah, as belts go, that's hey John. If we could get a, we could get a replica to put. Yeah, you know, it'd be real nice because on WWE shop it's seven hundred dollars. Woo, seven. Hundred dollars?

That's coming from you. Yeah, let me tell you something. I am frugal, McDo. All right, I I have seven seven hundred. That's a lot of scratch.

Seven hundred dollars is a lot of GTA Sixes. I don't know, seven hundred. And maybe John could send us one to the studio. Yeah, man, show John Cena. Dude, he requested to come here.

Right? Remember? Yo, don't ever bury that lead either. Yeah, man.

Because that sum of rest the pot, like. The pattern. John Cena asked to come on this. Yeah, we would have not like we wouldn't have, but we wouldn't have asked for John Cena for probably another six months to a year. Yeah, I wouldn't have even been bold enough.

Yeah, right. Would ask for John Cena episode two hundred, and then you go, oh, John Cena said, can he come on? Let me check the schedule real quick. Right, I don't care what I'm doing.

Okay, if you wanted to come Sunday, we would have been here. Yeah, man.

Only guy, the guys only I could come a Sunday at eight fifteen a.m. All right, best. R.J. We You at Don Louis? Let's go.

So he he shows off the new title, and I think it looks great. I feel like I feel like they really put their foot in that one for it to be the his spinner title. Yeah, that that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about. Those are details that I love to see.

And then downstate starts playing through the speakers. Yup, wrestling has more than one. Will family. Anyway, Cody Rose comes out, million dollar smile, guile himself, and yeah, he's gonna be in the Invitational number one. Yeah, my initial thought was what.

Hold on, Cody. Yeah, I thought we was building. Yeah, hold on. I thought we was like you were selfish. You just want everything.

Well, he he didn't put himself in. John put in. Yeah, I mean, I was he going to say no? Yeah, right. You just whoop my ass a couple of times.

Yeah, so it was. I got to admit, it was a little shocking based upon what we thought this tournament was going to be. That the first guys QB one. Yeah, pardon.

Okay, but it makes sense. Yeah, listen, you want to you want to prove. Who better to do it against than QB One, the Million Dollar Smile Guy himself? And yeah, so he's he's our he's our first night, but it wasn't all pats on the back and celebrations because then start to. Start to hear them voices, here comes Randall.

What's he been doing? Sitting back and watching, working out, you know.

So Randy comes out to confront Cody, and him and Cena have a little. Cena was like, you know what? I told y'all I'm retired. Let me get the hell up off this. We've been we done, but did didn't make you think that Randy was going to come out like, yo.

First of all, you're going to do this without me. I kind of thought he might take a little umbrage to the fact that he didn't get paid. Hashtag umbrage. He's the last of his kind. Yeah, man.

The last Mohican. The last whip. Yeah. And yeah, Randy showed some venom. On that microphone, he don't want to be an actor.

Did Cody say anything? He don't want to go to Hollywood. Yeah, he's a third generation. I was born here. I was meant for this.

I was built for this. I ain't got time for the jibber jab. All right, everybody else want to go. Oh, I got to take time off to go do the premiere and impress. And no, not me.

Which is funny because Randy's been in movies and TV, but not not because he wants to. All right, that was just work. But yeah, he has some. Being a little, you was being a little mean. Got a little red, you know, little veins popping out.

And dropped a a bomb of a promo, just showing why he is still the youngest WWE champion of all time, and why he was just handpicked the way that he was because he is just a natural at it. And when you when you hear him huffing and puffing, the Viper's venom comes out, bro. And it it was quite the promo. My man Cody didn't say a word after he they John threw him in the Invitational. What could he?

Did he say a word at all? I can't remember. I'm sure he did, but right? I man, I can't remember. Or him and uh him and Randy, they're gonna be going at it.

Crown Jewel. We hope everybody's safe. Please be safe. Please be safe. That's November seventh, right?

Um. Yep, I believe so. Yeah, perhaps. Yeah, because the thirty first was last Saturday.

So yeah, so you know that's gonna go down, and I, I, I, TJ, it ain't ending at Crown Jewel. It is not ending at Crown. Probably not. No, these two have been going at it since Mania. That is like insane to me.

Like they have been like this has been a ongoing thing for this whole year, and. I there's no way you know respect the Crown Jewel, but you don't end stuff at Crown Jewel. Nah, nah. You further the storyline though. Yeah, you know.

Yeah, but it should be it should be a new new chapter added to this book that they're laying out. Two guys that have so much history. You know what you're gonna get. But I think I think Randy kind of got to win at Crown Jewel. I think so too, based upon the fact that Cody took the last one.

But also, what this does, it keeps people from having Cody fatigue. Right, he's out of the world title picture now for a while, which is great for him. That way, the fans can't be like, "Oh, Cody!" Like they're giving him something else to do, which is great. And you are getting to do something with Randy Orton, so I mean, that's top food chain. Yeah, you are going to be fine.

So it's going to be interesting to see. You know, Cody. You know, in in Japan, you know, they have the young boys. Yeah, that those are when you go back and you look at you know, new Japan matches. Go back like ten, fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, you always see the young boys on the side of the ring, right?

And they're the ones who help take care of the the main eventers. You know, they're the guys who run in with you know the water packs, the ice packs. They're they're there to basically serve as assistants, yeah, to to the main stars. And when you go back and you look, you'll see the stars of the day. Like you go and you look at something, you know, from two thousand and twelve, thirteen, you'll see Jay White.

As a young boy, now he's a star. You know, you you even go further back. Okada was a young boy. You know, Tanahashi, I believe, was a young boy.

So their own version of NXT. Yeah. So Cody was essentially Randy's young boy for a while.

So, you know, now that's that that story is always. You know, you try to snatch the pebble from the master. Yeah, man.

So only one Lord Vader. Yeah, yeah. And so this this could. This can continue to be a showcase of second generation, third generation, and Randy's Nepo babies. Like we said, babies up by a billion.

Top fifteen, I could have done a top thirty. Yeah, straight up and down, like six o'clock. But that what I was about to move on. Yeah, yeah, I was about to say, bro, that wasn't all that happened on that Raw, man. Let's say congratulations to a guy that you wouldn't think necessarily is one of our friends, but.

God, we love. Kill him with a smile. Kill him with a smile. All ego, Ethan Page. Congratulations, all ego.

You finally reached the mountaintop.

Well, maybe that's not even the mountaintop yet for him. But the Intercontinental Championship is he defeated Chad Gable. Heck of a match. Oh, guys, he's gonna put Maple Leafs all over it. He well, he probably will.

If you look at what he did with the North American Championship, he dot. You know, he put his own little spin on it.

So who knows? Maybe he'll bring back the the the classic IC Championship. That's the one I went back. The one that I think Conrad sold for like eight hundred thousand dollars, or something. But yeah, like shout out to Ethan Page.

He and Chad Gable put on a banger. Page gets the win, gets his first main roster championship. Dope. I mean, he wouldn't want us to say it, but he's a really dope dude, man. Dude, he is the the the beauty of Ethan Page.

Is when you speak to him or you watch him in interviews, his intelligence stands out. The dude is quick as a whip, right? And he knows his stuff. And so, even as an interviewer, you have to be on your toes because he'll run circles around you in the conversation if you let him. And so, to see, uh.

You know, we we were there when he was going up against Joe Hendry at TNA. When he made his debut at NXT, he got the title like that. Yeah, it was quick, fast. Yeah, man.

Like Ethan Page is nothing to be ignored, and this is a this is a great step for him. Friend of the show, you know, we applaud him, and I'm. It's just one of those heels that like. I can't boo, man. He is hilarious.

I think he's funny. He's good at his job, and now he is funny with the Intercontinental Championship. And then, you know, there were some people that, like, you know, Chad had done such a great job with that belt and had a really good run, but people got to look at the bigger side because now he did what he did with the IC title; he loses it. He's not getting demoted. No, no, that means now Chad Gable.

Now they're starting to look him. Maybe he should be in that main event picture. Yeah. So it's going to be interesting to see where Chad goes from here because he is on the top of his game as we speak. And the thing where he, how far he's come, man.

Bro, he's that guy who like we've said this before. Like the fans were like, "This guy deserves better." Yeah, and you know through the shorty G, through all that crap. Yeah, well, and when little kids go back and see him with long hair, it's gonna trip them trip them out with with his towel that he had to stop using. I guess because Cena had a towel. Yeah, you know.

But yeah, man, shout out to Chad Gable. It's gonna be interesting and really cool to see where this takes him. Yeah, because he could stay in the IC. Title picture. I'd love to see him and even have a little program because, like I said, I really enjoyed that match.

But I think maybe there's bigger plans for Chad because you realize at a house show, Chad beat Punk. Yeah, house show non televised this past week. Just randomly saw it on social media. He got a dub off of CM Punk and. You know they're not just giving everybody dubs, yeah, or CM Punk's name.

So, but I think the best, the best spot that I would want to see Chad Gable in is a guest on the No Contest Wrestling podcast. Yeah, we got to get him in here. But oh, I didn't tell you, we got a DM. I think his manager reached out to us. Yeah, this was the other week.

So yeah, hopefully have Chad here. Yeah, man, sooner than later. I know. I want to know when wrestling broke his heart. I want to know his welcome to wrestling moment.

So shout out those two great match. What else we had? Oh, we had the six woman tag match. Yes, you know we had the Judgment Day live in the Hard R's against Chelsea, Tiffany, and Io. Io.

Um, I love that match. I think that goes without saying. The freaking TJ Bowl.

Some of my absolute favorites in that match: Roxanne, Raquel, Raquel, you're so strong. For those who don't know, I was yelling that in San Diego. Raquel, you're so strong. You had everybody around us cracking up when you say that too. I love that arena because it's like very intimate, so they can hear everything.

I'm like, dude, right? That's why I booed the hell out of nine four six. And you almost got jumped for it. Is all I'm saying. Yeah, almost doesn't count.

Shout out to Brandy Norwood. Ah, there, there. Look at her having time for life. Rock saying, "That's what I said, mom." They get, they get the win in the six woman match, and yeah.

So we're getting, you know, and then we got the tiffy tease again about, and everyone is assuming that she's going to turn and and and you know do the exact same same thing to to to Chelsea that she did to Nia, and I'm kind of thinking that because everyone's thinking that's going to happen, that might not be. Right, maybe she's really trying to get this title off of Liv. Right, but Liv was talking real greasy to Chelsea. Cash money shit. Oh my goodness, that was like that seemed real personal.

Yeah, man, and like the fan in me, and I know to be smarter than the fan in me, but like, y'all y'all show giving her a lot to work with. Like my God, Chelsea, know what she' doing. You know, let her get some jabs in on this microphone. I feel like personally setting her up to get a dub at Crown Jewel, and that would be the ultimate bragging rights. Anytime they're on the microphone, but I'm like, you know, you know, she's the matriarch of the Maple.

Yep, like she got let her get down a little bit on that mic. Uh, fight back, fight back.

So, um, that's that's set up. You know one thing. I forgot. Gonna jump back to how Randy. And this is just the Cody Randy thing.

How. He reminded Cody, like I was your dad's last match. I that was crazy. I put him out, like that. Just another thing.

You want to be just like your dad? I will make your dreams come true.

So yeah, I wanted to make sure we put that in there because that was dramatic too, right? Yeah, bro. He's in his bag, man. Yeah, he really dangerous bag to be. I mean, you take away like there was that moment, that WrestleMania moment where outside forces were coming in.

The fans didn't really take too kind to. But outside of that little thing where people didn't, seems like people didn't love it. He's just been in pop, pop, pop, cracking them, hitting home runs, dog. Yeah. So living in Chelsea, that's set up.

That honestly, at this point, is my number one match. I'm excited for. Yeah. For yeah. For Crown Jewel.

So like Chelsea got a. Gotta get her. Are you picking Chelsea to to get the? Because Liv already won one, right? Because like, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, bro.

That belt was, you know, that that crown jewel belt is so crazy. But I remember Liv trying to lug that big ass thing on the turnbuckle. They don't get to keep it anywhere. Yeah, like you got this thing the size of my body, and I like here, take it off me, man. Give me the ring.

But yeah, so I'm I'm excited to see excited to see that match. Probably the most, yeah, dude. I mean, Sammy and Roman should be fun. Roman gotta get that. And speaking of, I I don't think Sammy loses there, man.

What was what's the point? First of all, great promo with those. Yes, those two went at it. And then Roman hitting him with like being a little hoe, and I don't talk like, and then just out of nowhere, just go Brooklyn. That was hard as hell right there.

Get this hoe out my face. But Sammy, Sammy's right because we've talked about it. That match, him and Johnny Knoxville at WrestleMania should have been. I did not care about that match. I didn't want to watch that match.

And then as that match is going on, I was like, this is. A thousand percent more entertaining than it. Really needs to be, yeah.

So Sammy had a point. He goes, "No one's." He kind of smashed Roman on that one. Like, no one's going to remember the six Brock Lesnar match. They're going to remember this forever. He's kind of got a point because I remember Roman and Brock.

I know Roman won. I can't really tell you anything about the match. I did watch it, but I remember the big ass hand coming and slapping Sammy and all the jackass shenanigans.

So that goes to the Mick Foley conversation we had, where Mick said. I was never gonna get. I was never gonna out athleticism these guys, but I can get the moments. The mo. Yep.

In those moments, bro. Those moments. They they last in your head. And like when you're in the car and you're driving home, who you talking about? That that big ass hand.

Yeah, man.

So Sammy, Sammy. By the way, Sammy giving and you you tweeted this out. Giving Trick, well, obviously it's not Sammy doing it. Yeah, but like, but okay, we are doing it. Sammy giving Trick and Javon title matches back to back, really kind of getting on them in the mic, right?

But what that does is that's just going to make, as we said, make those two step their game up. And Trick went from, I think, two weeks ago, Sammy got his ass on that mic. Trick came back the next week. All right, let me get a little. You know, he got it back a little bit.

Yeah, same thing with Javon. You are seeing the games get elevated. They don't necessarily have to win. Remember, wrestling is the place where you can lose and get elevated.

So, the work that Sammy's doing with these guys on SmackDown and him standing toe to toe with Roman on the mic. Yeah, I mean, I kind of think, Doug, I. They didn't give him that title to go over there for no reason. I think Sammy Zayn is probably they're going to find a way to maybe give him this dub over Roman. I feel like if Roman doesn't win, then some kind of way the match will be a no contest.

Or it could be shenanigans. You could have somebody jumping in. Like, look after the nine four six beat down. That's another. They left, and who comes out?

And you know what? Let me get some. Let me get some. Sammy, like that's a hell of a kick. Wow, you know, like so, yeah.

This is. We don't know where these things are going, and it's always stinks when we do know where things are going, and we don't now. And that's we always say. That's why we watch. Right, right.

I, in my mind, I think Roman gets this dub, and I think Bloodline loses at Survivor Series. Yeah, Bloodline winning too much. Like that's too much. Like Weights that they've been given nine four six to just throw away. Yeah, they lost.

If you're going to build them up, yeah, like we they lost. But Shay, you know something funny? I was trying to, you know, if you see me looking at my phone, I was looking for this. It was either Twitter or Threads.

Now I can't remember which one it was. I'm pretty sure it was Threads. But someone was talking about, well, who's this guy? Who's Cruz Montana? And of course, the response was like, well, if you watch NXT, yeah, you'll know.

Blah blah blah. And this guy, and I want to make sure I get it right because I said that this. Dude, he had said that it's embarrassing. You know, it's embarrassing for these guys just to come up and and beat up the main roster guys. And I was like, you probably said that when Roman Reigns.

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose showed up and just beat the crap out of everybody. You were probably like, "Well, who are these guys to beat up these main roster guys?" Well, now they're three of the biggest stars in the history of professional wrestling. Yeah, I'm not saying that the nine anyone from nine four six will reach those levels because that is literally the top of the food chain. Yeah, but I'm not saying they won't. Yeah, and it's like.

You just don't know, bro. I'm sorry you're not informed. We're telling you how to be informed. You're not listening, so if you don't want to listen, D'Lo, get the bleep ready. If you don't want to listen, how about you shut the up?

How about that, huh? Telling you how to do it. You don't want to listen, so I'd shut the up. Thank you, D'Lo. Yeah, yeah.

Here's the tweet. This TS he's saying this. Yeah, Ben asks, I don't see how a bunch of NXT stars are better and stronger than the Bloodline. And I honestly don't know how science works. I'm like, you probably thought that when those three, these three, and it was a picture of the show.

These three NXT guys. Let me tell you something about getting jumped. It's a numbers game usually. Yeah, like bro, like. They're all basically football players beating my ass.

Like it's not like it's not the video game, bro. Like we have to we have to have a little logic here, right? And look at it's more of them. It's more of them, and they get the the the uh. Surprise on him, and it didn't look like I said it didn't look weird.

Look at the size of these guys, man. It kind of looked like, yeah, this guy could only watch on TV. You ain't been next to none of them, yeah. It looks like, yeah, this dude might be able to handle Roman, bro. And Roman's bigger than the twins.

Shoot, hey, we went to when we went to Raw, and you walked by Logan Paul. What'd you say? Ah, yo. I said, "Yo, Logan Paul is." Huge, huge! The dude is huge.

He's huge. Straight, like he—that is a big, yeah, dude, man. Should be a tight end somewhere. Yeah, like no, no crap. Like I, I didn't.

I've seen him before. I guess I'd never really been that close in proximity when we dapped up. Yo, Logan Paul's a big cat, bro. The the raw after mania, uh, thirty nine over here in L.A. when uh.

Brock came out and beat up Cody. My sister looked at me and she said, "Hey, Brock is big as hell." Well, yeah, that's you know that, but yeah, but like I didn't TV and right here is way different. But yeah, Logan, yeah, so and like I said, Bronco and Lucian huge, like and. Yeah, so I and I know we now reach the point where like you know AEW goes they go a little bit with the smaller guys, yeah, which show and and that's fine. I got no problem with that.

But sometimes it's like watching the Bears game on Monday, right? They traded for Jeffrey Simmons, yeah. Playing against Seattle, and Jeffrey Simmons was smart. He wore an orange long-sleeved shirt underneath. He usually does that so his daughter can pick him out.

But it was very smart because he—he was the talk of the NFL. Him getting traded, so you always knew where Jeffrey Simmons was. And in the locker room, he got a game ball. And I said this on the Eisen Show on Tuesday. They say all men are created equal.

I don't know, man, bro. I'm I, you know, I'm six three, about two fifty, but Jeffrey Simmons deal with is. Like we are not the same, dog.

So it just goes.

Sometimes you know, a big dude is just a big dude. At the end of the day, size matters. Yeah, still in a physical activity. No, professional wrestling. Am I?

If Conor McGregor stepped to me, am I getting worked? Yeah, I'm going to get smacked. Don't you remember? Oh, he's not going. He's not going.

No, he ain't. There's not. Only thing he's going to remember is me suing him. But yeah, I'm not. Look.

I'm not no tough guy around that. Like you could take a hundred forty pound UFC guy, and he's gonna smash. You know, I don't care how big you are, but this is wrestling. Yeah, man.

And if I show the visual, if Connor had to catch you in a trust fall. He gotta bend the knees a little. He gotta brace himself. That's size is size, and yeah, bro, nine four six is deep. Yeah, deep.

Look at these cats, massive, bro. I wouldn't want to be in the elevator. We had capacity. By the way, there's a story I got to tell you about one time where I was on elevator with your dad and a friend of mine, and they he almost didn't get on the elevator, and it looked it looked bleak. But that's a story for another day.

More than likely, my uncle's star and keyboard, big as him. Yeah, I got a funny elevator story to tell you too, but off camera. Yeah, so that was raw. You know, congrats to Ethan. Congrats to the Judgment Day.

Yeah, winning. We got Sammy and Roman. Yeah, we are doing their thing. What else?

Solo and Royce. That was a good big man slapping me. Yeah, that's that was that was all I have. It was good raw. But I do want to shout out.

Cause on SmackDown, we got new tag team champions, and you know I've been worried about Mikey and Beefy. Yeah, I kind of be honest, I was shocked to get through it. It was like a okay, all right, black vote. Hashtag Black Vote, but yeah, bro, Miesha and Bay Five, look at y'all. I think the shocking thing was because Tatum and Alexa just won the belt, so we weren't expecting a title change that that quick.

But shout out to them, man, because. You know, you are showing up every week. You are doing the work. You are trying to get better. You are getting better.

You know, and I say that towards B Fab because Me Chin has been in the business a little longer. Yep. You know, I think she was a little bit more accomplished than B Fab was season, but yeah, man, and and and now Jade's gonna want her piece of gold. Oh yeah, man, and it made me wonder where the hell has Jade been? Like, it made me feel like, wait a minute.

Have I been seeing you?

Well, she showed up Monday and put the beat down on our our moon and our stars. Yeah. Oh man, what was that about? I'm like, I just was happy for you. Then you go pull some shit like this.

I don't need this type of pressure. All right, because Bailey just got rid of Buff Bird Lady, and like now you go to a storm. Just buff, right? I don't want that. I don't want that.

I don't want to do this. I'm gonna have to fight Jade. That's not oh man, probably nothing. Nothing she wanted to do. I gotta watch Jade and Bailey, and I don't want to.

I'm yeah, but that's great though. Yeah, I know. I gotta be like one of them parents to half and half jersey. We got to be like me every time I watch half of these people. Like I said, that six man, that six one more stuff was crazy.

That hurt your boy's heart. It was the TJ bowl. Yeah, the TJ. But yeah, now they' going after Bailey, Moon and the Stars. It is what it is, though.

But what I mean, the Moon and the Stars versus the Storm—that's just poetic. Yeah, that's just poetic.

So that you know, we're here for it. Shout them out and. Uh, Punk and Kevin Owens seem to be being pretty mean to each other. I don't think those two like each other. Like it's it's been a couple of times where I'm like, two guys who were like a plus on the mic.

Yeah, you know you can't get better guys on talkers than yeah, than Punk and Owens. They would probably be the most. How I felt like Logan Paul. And Austin Theory would be the most annoying tag team ever. I still feel I feel that way about Kevin Owens and CM Punk, but in a different light, because they would just be bullies, right?

Like, like they're just shooting, like, just roasting you, right? You know, and also you're a piece of garbage, like you know. Punk was like, "Look, you don't even know me. We've never broken bread together. We've never had a meal together.

Yeah." And it's those little. Like improv, they're like stepping on each other. Know if like yeah, okay. We we know you are working. Yep, but it's like, do you really feel like yeah, bro?

Like, do you be watching Jackson Jacksonville Jaguar games? Like you know, like it just it just them stepping over each other while they're trying to speak, not really like getting clear. Are you talking? I talk like it. It just feels like.

Feels there's no there's no playbook. Yeah, it feels like this is not produced. Yeah, it's like just go out there. It's just like piece of garbage. It's just like.

That think about that, and and there's a lot of people that say that about punk, like Drew McIntyre, like would always say that, like man, piece of garbage, bro. That's hard. You if like you bust my ass, just like you bust your ass. You call me a lot of stuff, right? But if you sat here, like TJ, you suck or whatever.

All right, cool. You go, you are piece of garbage, piece of garbage. Like yo, bro. Yeah, really. You call me anything, basura, basura, basura, trash, cuidado.

Yeah, man.

I don't know, man. It's uh, that's that's gonna be thick, but they're not going to Crown Jewel. Yeah, no, no, that's gonna be Friday, dog. Yeah, but notice it was like that will be Friday, and I can't wait for that match, Punk and Owens. Let's yeah, just let them have it the same way.

Y'all let Bailey and Lyra just go off. Let them go off. Let them go off. Yeah, let them go off. Because anything less is not going to be believable, right?

Because you, it's always been established they don't like each other. They want to get it on.

So they got like, like my man from, you know, the the UFC, tough enough years ago. He's like, just let me bang, bro. Yeah, just let me. Yeah, let them bang and let us watch and be happy. I hold on because I'm, I'm feeling.

Feeling something, TJ. I guarantee Kevin Owens is costing CM Punk the NXT Championship tonight. Ooh, you know, you think he's gonna take that trip down to Florida? Yeah, like that sets up Friday.

Well, also he don't really lose to Waller. Like, it's kind of perfect. What if Owens is like, well, maybe I want to beat Kevin two times, and maybe he's like, you beat him, then I'll beat you. Sure, that's not how he's thinking. Yeah, but like, it just it would just be it's too perfect.

It's too perfect. It would make sense to kind of build that match. Like, he cost me a title. Bro, we first of all we arguing over a title. You cost me, you know.

So yeah, I I kind of see that. But let's talk about this Wednesday, bro, because it is a it is the WWE. It is a wild wrestling Wednesday right now, and oh, also because we set it up so crazy, I do want to say. Rin Sinclair, you did your damn thing. Yeah, let's let's hit up Halloween havoc before.

Yeah, Rin Sinclair, you did your damn thing, and like perfect way to lose. Like if there ever was a perfect way to lose, perfect way to lose. First of all, shout out to the Wanda costume, hamburger, hamburger. But you're going up against Lonnie, and let me tell you something about Kalani. She's on.

She's on her thing. They let her be mean, because I can remember saying, I just years two years ago, like I don't know if I buy Kalani as a heel. She just seems too nice. Oh no, Kalani, you blew me wrong. She she's doing her thing right now.

I did really think it might be time for her to get bumped up to the main roster, and it kind of would have made sense had she lost that belt to Ren, because you know. Melo's in nine four six, I know Jade is there. Maybe she would join, but who knows? Kalani still got that belt. That was a, that was a fun match.

Yeah, loved watching those two. Big fans of both of those. And you look talking about like, you know, the future of the women's division. Yeah, right there were those very nice. And like Renn to be like, they have Kalani.

You know, going after. Like her Ren's limb, so she couldn't get her submission off, and Ren fighting through that and almost getting it, and then like Kalani just flipped it into a pin, put her feet on the ropes, and got Kalani was too good. Best way to lose. Ren Sinclair stock stays up, and and yes, Kalani stays champion, and she cheated to win.

So now that's going to be cooking. You could cook that a little bit more, and yeah, I was very very. Pleased with how Ren Sinclair was presented. Yeah, her and Karen Kalani. Congrats to both of you ladies.

Yes, and then we had you know Halloween Havoc. Let's talk that up because we had Tavion Heights on. He did take the elder miles in that Weapons Wild match. My only, you know, I think my only disappointment was they didn't use the candy corn. My God, it was right there.

But they pulled out a bag of nuts and bolts, which Miles got dropped on, and I was like, "Nuts, doing here." Oh man, that it just looked like it hurt. Yeah, and look like candy corn would have been better. Candy corn would have been better for Miles' back, that's for sure. But yeah, Miles got the win. I think that's three or four times now.

Tavion set up a good bad guy.

So so we'll we'll see what. I don't hear me though. Yeah, what what does that mean for Tavion Miles? Born, I'm gonna send you a DM because you know I got something for you. Yeah.

Is he damn defeated Zarya in a non-title match? That was a little shocking. Like non-title, I know you love you some Izzy. Yeah, man, cool, bro. Is he cool?

I, you know, I, I, I'm a Zarya fan. I was a little shocked that she she took that L non-title match, but non-title. She, you know, Zarya getting into her head a little bit, and it and it and it showed. You know, Zilla Fatu defeated Charlie Dempsey in a very nice, very evil match. Kalani, as we said, defeated Ren, Shiloh Hill, and and Naraku.

Man, now that that match was interesting, yeah, because that played like a movie throughout the whole. It reminded me of the pandemic days. Yeah, right. So they they had a little. They both spit mist on each other, and you know we as we know the the mist different colors does different things to you.

So Shiloh and Naraku, the whole card before they wrestled, they're going through the backstage. Yeah, they're both like messed up. You're seeing goblins and ghouls and people popping up, and Shiloh, you know, Shiloh is in his bag, you know, because he likes the weirdness of that.

So, but yeah, they finally at the end of the the card got in the ring, and Shiloh got a big win over No Rock. Yeah, that's that's that's big because they that's a guy that they're trying to bump up because they they brought him in, you know, they want to make you recognize him for fans who aren't familiar. With him, they want you to look at him as a star.

So for Shiloh to be able to get that dub, they see a lot in Shiloh. They do. Shiloh is definitely getting a nice little push. It seems like. Remember, he was internet famous before.

Yeah, I mean, Shiloh's got like three million followers, man. He's even on the main roster right now.

So the bro, the creator of the beast, man. And then you know, Grayson Waller defeated Tony D'Angelo and. That was those two were just out there putting it on, man. Yeah, I I am really digging Grayson Waller. He's doing great work right now in the ring, on the mic, and I hate to be this guy, but.

In like ten years, when he decides to shave his head, he's gonna be a scary looking wrestling dude. He's just got that the accent and just like right now, he's just still like a cool guy. One day, when he flips the character and just wants to be a Australian psychopath, it's gonna be crazy, man. But he so he beats Tony. I I don't know if I'm worried about Tony, but I kind of wonder where.

What does this mean for Tony D'Angelo? Right, as he go back to the drawing board, does he get a call up soon?

Well, we're lucky he wasn't at nine four six. Who knows? He might be. Yeah, right. Like, dude, this I saw.

I saw somebody call nine four six. He was a black man.

Okay, he called him the NWO. He called him the N word order. But it was like they added two Spanish speakers, so I can't really call him that no more. Hey, man, Poppy, Poppy, no black, no black. But but then we had Danhausen come out after that match, you know, and he revealed that.

And I love the way sometimes that they they give you a tossback to something that happened a while ago when Waller went back to NXT. CM Punk showed up. And and Grayson Waller being the master on the mic that he is, he went up to Punk and basically treating him like you do in in Chicago. And Oh Block, he goes, "You need to check in with me before you come to NXT." And Punk was like, "Really?" So yeah, and Grayson was dead serious. He goes, "You need to ask me permission before you come to my house." That was months ago, but now we're getting it.

To pay off, because Punk was like, "Yeah, I haven't forgotten about that young Buster." He goes, "So I am going to see you on Wednesday. I am going to take that title." So tonight we're going to get CM Punk against Grayson Waller, and oh, just to be the annoying Roman Reigns fan that I am, a couple of the annoying Roman Reigns fans posted on Twitter that Roman predicted that this was going to happen. Dog. By the way, he did. He said it.

That's. Did you see it? Did you? Yeah, bro. He goes.

Here is what's gonna happen. I am gonna smash you. Then you are gonna go down. One of them John Cena retirement tours. I am gonna send you down to NXT where you could build up the next group of stars and send them up so I can smash them too.

So does this mean that Waller against Reigns that we get that in like two weeks? Damn, Brooklyn! That was so hard. Him just screaming Brooklyn like that for no reason in his bag. Oh man!

But yeah, Punk and Walla. That's gonna be fun tonight. Yeah, that's gonna be fun. It's just gonna be a fun night. Like I'm like, use my DVR because across the pond, they putting up some.

Pretty wild matches too for that blood and guts. What's not across the pond? But like, I'm just saying, like you know, Jackson, Jacksonville, Jacksonville's other side. Yeah, but yeah, this is this is blood and guts night for for AEW man. And if you're not familiar, it's a basically it's a cage match with two rings, one roof cage, two teams, right?

Kind of like you know a war game, yeah, type thing. And there are no pinfalls, but there are submissions, right? Let me make sure I am getting this right. Let me read my notes here. Teams alternate entries on timed intervals, and once everyone is entered.

And the cage is locked. The match can only be won by some. Yeah, I was right. By some. I wrote this down and forgot I wrote it, but I wrote this down two days ago.

Yeah. But submission or surrender. There are no pinfalls. You got to make somebody say, "I quit" or "Uncle" or tap out. And I believe, yeah, this is the six blood and guts match, the second to feature both a men's match and a women's match.

Yeah. Okay. And this is going to be exciting because on the men's side. What we have tonight—the the men's side is so crazy stacked. We've got the Billy Goat, bro, Will Osprey, Adam Copeland, Darby Allen, Stephen Borden, and the Young Bucks versus the Don Callis family.

And by the way, the only group that has more members than nine four six is the Don Callis family. Yeah, they've got like fifteen sixteen cats. But the Don Callis family will be Kazuchika Okada. One of the goats, one of the greatest of all time, Kyle Fletcher, Wardlow, Kevin Knight, Mark Davis, and Jake Doyle. Those are some big dudes in the Dallas family.

But here is one problem I have. We talked about this. Wardlow was one of the biggest stars AEW, homegrown star. Then he, for like two years, seemingly disappeared. Right?

Yeah. Then about a month ago, all of a sudden, there is something going on, and it was just like, oh, Wardlow's back. No pomp, no circumstance. He couldn't even. Even getting a ring walk, like it's just like, oh, Warloes here.

That was almost as bad as when Christian came back. Yeah, we got in WWE. We got oh, there's Christians here. Like, yeah, bro, you got this Warloes dog. You know, like Mr.

Mayhem. First of all, Mr. Mayhem. That is a great nick, great name, Mister Mr. Mayhem.

Come on, that's kind of hard. That's hard. By the way, shout out to Mayhem on those. All state commercial. Yes, yeah, bro.

The Mayhem. Shout out to Mayhem, and also then shout out to my boy Jason Mayhem Miller from a UFC fighter. You know. But he was mayhem everywhere. But mayhem really caused real mayhem, you know.

Yeah, mayhem. Shout out to mayhem, bro. But yeah, Warlow being just like like he just been here the whole time, right? We've been ignoring. I was like, wait a minute, Warlow's in the ring, and yet we didn't get nothing special for War Dog, and that doesn't that didn't make any sense.

It's like in Happy Days in the first episode of Happy Days, I forget the characters. I don't watch Happy Days.

Well, who are you talking about? Chuck Richie? Yeah, Richie Traci.

Well, somebody. Joanie's little brother goes up the stairs. Oh, that's Chuck. Chuck is Richie and Joanie's older brother. Yeah, Chuck was a hooper.

He's gonna get ready for basketball practice. He goes up for practice. Chuck was—he never came. Never came down. Never saw Chuck Cunningham.

Never saw him again. And that is one of my favorite TV facts ever. What happened to Chuck Cunningham? Getting ready for basketball practice. Did he climb out the window?

It's like he climbed out the window, climbed down the tree, and dip. Never. And and Mrs. C, Mr. C, they never.

Now Mrs. C, she'll come over. You know, she'll make you a sandwich, give you a glass of milk. You would have thought at some point she'd worry about where baby Chuck was. No, she didn't care.

And then it's like that's like the last episode. They're like, oh, so Chuck, how was the game, bro? Warlow just popping up. Where's Warlow been, dog? Where you been?

Oh my god! But yeah, so that's going to be the men's blood and guts match. And then if you remember last year, man, Sky Blue kind of stamped herself as an AEW star with her being bloody and busted up. But yeah, the women's blood was that the when were they put the glass on the boot? What was that?

That might oh, when Marina put her feet in the glass. Yeah, yeah, yes.

So the women's blood and guts match has the new TBS women's champion, and I only remember TBS from TNT from what your sister said because it looks like yeah, it looks like the bell say hose. It's sorry, it looks like the bell says hose. Queen Aminata, oh, all hell queen, all hell queen Aminata. Willow Nightingale, what a lovely cup of coffee this is. Yeah, Willow.

Rathlander, Chris Statlander, and Harley Cameron. You know, you know what we feel about Stat Daddy here. The Brawling Birds, Jamie Hader, and Alex Windsor. Hey, hey, hey, hey! And they're gonna take on the Triangle Mat.

Let's Tekla, Julia Hart, Sky Blue, the Divine Dominion, Megan Bain, and Lena Cross, and Persephone. Listen, bro. Dim the lights, put on the Kenny G, because we got some wrestling to watch.

Now, if you thought I had a hard time watching Judgment Day and EO Chelsea and Tiffany, you know, you know. Who was hyping up Persephone before me, dog? Queen Aminata. Who was the one that said she should never open up the ring ropes for herself? The queen should always do a Charlotte Flair, have someone, and then you got Jamie Hater saying, "Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate." Willow, yeah, Nightingale, bro.

Willow Nightingale, man, Statlander, the Brawling Bird, like I said, and then Tekla, who who loves Tekla, you come on, dog! I'm gonna be enthralled by this match. I'm, I'm, I'm. It should be a great match, man. And shout out to Persephone, Persephone, you're flying in, Persephone, and that's tonight from Jacksonville, Blood and Guts, and that's gonna be.

Fun. What a Wednesday! The good thing is I got two TVs side by side, so I'm at both on. I, you know, and then when you're done, or like mid, well, however y'all be watching, you can just you're probably listening to us right now. Yeah, right, man.

What a Wednesday. Aminata, Rathlander, Willow, Tekla, Harley. Almost want to take my shoes off. My God, man, that's going to be fun.

So you know that. Wednesday usually just AEW, but we have you know NXT too. I'm here for it, man. Let's go.

Two good cards. Going to be a bunch of good matches tonight. Looking forward to it. Yeah. And what else talk about?

I talk about basketball a little bit. Let me tell you something, man. I've never had LeBron James on my basketball team before. It's a great thing. And I know you feel now.

LeBron fans are getting on your nerves a little bit, but they're idiots. I love LeBron. He gave you, he gave you. I love LeBron. So let me tell you, as a Sixers fan, yeah, to watch LeBron and the Sixers the way this team is meshed and merged and and and really just.

They seem like they're having so much fun. We're seven and one right now. I have not lost a game with when everyone has played.

Okay, you know, but we've won games with no LeBron. We've won games with no Embiid. We've won games without JB. We won games without VJ. I'm loving the way the Sixers are playing.

The the cohesion, the way that they're playing defense. The way that they seem like they've been together for months and years, except it's been weeks. Like, I'm so excited for basketball. I'm so excited for the Sixers. But it all comes down to shit.

You know this. It's health. We got to keep the big man healthy. And B lost, B lost some weight, which is great because I don't think the human body is meant to be seven foot two inches and three hundred ten pounds, right? All ligaments, joints, stopping.

Yeah, that's a lot.

So Joe, Joel has lost some weight. You know he's. Falling a lot less because that was my biggest issue with him for years. You were too big to constantly be dropping to the ground like that. He was looking trying to foul bait.

Yeah, it's like dog. You were too big, so now he's not falling hitting the ground as much, which is great because yeah, that's less wear and tear on his body. LeBron is like. A basketball savant, and this is going to have long-reaching effects because what LeBron is going to teach Tyrese Maxey, who is in his bag right now, what he's going to teach VJ about being a professional and a star. These are lessons, man, that you can't pay for, and this is all going to come from LeBron to these guys, and this is going to help them for the rest of their career.

So, yeah, man, I'm I'm as a Sixers fan, I'm really happy and I'm really excited to see the rest. I'm over here loving. You know I love me some Luca Doncic, and Luca is classic. Speaking of guy who lost, looks like he lost more weight than he did last year. Yeah, bro.

Luca's averaging what, thirty eight a game right now? Thirty eight, eight and eight.

Now he, I don't think that's going to be sustained. I figure he'll probably. I have no idea. I put him at about thirty three. I could see that, bro.

This is this is this had to be what they was talking about, like when they were watching Larry Bird, because like my whole life I've been like Larry Bird. Like man, they all looked at me and said, bro. Larry play well. Larry play. I never knew you thought this.

Let me explain something to you about Larry Bird. Growing up a Sixer fan, I hated the Celtics and I hated Larry Bird. Yeah, Larry Bird was a bad, bad, yeah, bad. And here is the deal. Unlike Luca, Larry was doing it on the defensive side too.

Luca's defense has picked up a little bit, yeah. But Larry Bird, everyone, I think it's common knowledge that Steph Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and then they say who's second. I'm telling you right now, Larry Bird is the second greatest shooter I've ever seen. Wet, that dude did not miss, and he would tell you about it. He would tell you what he was going to do.

In the spot he was going to do it from, and then go there and do it, and there was nothing you could do. Larry Bird was a bad man.

So for Luca to be compared to Larry, it's still a little bit of a stretch because Larry three rings, oh yeah, MVPs career, first career. No, I'm just saying, like when you look at him, like he is not faster than yeah nobody. He's not getting off the ground higher than nobody. But we can't stop this from going in. Can't and like I I I've never said this about anyone.

The stuff that Luca has been doing lately reminds me of January 2006, Kobe Bryant. He was doing stuff where it was like, "What are we supposed to do?" Like that is by far. I don't like. I get what everyone always tells me. January, the month of January, two thousand and six.

Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen in my life, dude. And this is the closest feeling I've had where I'm just like, Luca going for forty again, like again. And I love LeBron James. I hated to see him leave. I'm not one of these Laker fans who, who like try to act like try to act like I wasn't grateful for the man or that he didn't come here and change the trajectory of the franchise.

It wasn't I was in the lottery. Like what are we talking about? But I'm also not one of these guys who. Are gonna act like the Lakers didn't do everything that was asked of them for LeBron. I just think both sides are capping ridiculously, and both piss me off.

But he left me, and therefore I have a new king, and he just happens to lead the White Walkers, and he is Luca the Night King. And I'm telling you right now, he should be the leading MVP, but they're not talking about him enough. Cause he white? No, stop. Been waiting to do that.

I don't know the odds, but I would say Luca probably is the the leading MVP candidate right now, right? But also, look out from Memphis Grizzlies. The Memphis Grizzlies, bro. Yeah, let me tell you something about young young Boozer, bro. Young Boozer, balling.

Stewart, Jerome, Jerome dropping forty every now and then too. Got him in one of my leagues. The Grizzlies out of nowhere got a nice little sleeper, little annoying ass Western Conference team in a year where OKC real hurt. Spurs is still trying to figure it out. Speaking about like the Jalen Williams, yeah.

Ah, I didn't watch it. Luckily, I missed it. Got the flamingo package, but dog, it just—you hate to see something like that. Because here you go, Jalen Williams, legitimately one of the best players in the NBA, right? Coming off of an injury, if he wasn't hurt last year, I don't know that the Knicks win that title, bro.

If he was healthy, but to see that type of injury, like it's just tragic and it's bad. It's up there with Paul George in Vegas. And the worst I ever seen was Kevin Ware. Yeah, the Kevin Ware played for Louisville. This was I think around two thousand twelve, thirteen, fourteen.

He's in the NCAA tournament. They're on one of those courts that are elevated, lifted, lifted court, and he kind of stepped wrong, and his compound fracture. The thing that saved me there, I was about a minute and a half behind. All right, and I happen to look at my phone, and immediately Twitter is, "Oh my God, no!" Blah blah blah.

So I knew something happened.

So I just took my remote, bro, and I fast forwarded.

So I didn't actually see it. I saw the aftermath, but thankfully I was behind. Kevin Ware was so bad that people cried. Yeah, the the players around him instantly started crying. People threw a towel over his leg.

Yeah, like oh man.

So, man, and I was there for you being a Clipper fan, Sean Livingston. You were there for that. Oh, we could. I could hear him yelling from the suite. That was awful.

That was that was. One of the worst, another one that I'm glad I didn't. I watched the game, but I missed that part when it happened. But Sean Livingston, man, thankfully he was able to come back, won a few wings. And by the way, one of the greatest mid-range jumpers in the history of basketball.

And they got to the playoffs. Sean Livingston from a foul from foul line extended money. Like, bro, if Steph was the greatest at that moment, Sean Livingston, don't let him get near that free throw ring, bro. In there, in there, every time. Also, Gordon Hayward when he I was watching first game of the year.

Now that one I was watching, and that was brutal. And he he was able to come back, but these guys are just you're you're never the same, man. You yeah, bro. And also a mental thing of like making sure my feet are under me, making like yeah. I mean, I don't know if I I talked about I dislocated my kneecap, my right kneecap once, and the mental game of me.

Once I got my cast off, I was on a brace. I had a cast up to my from my crotch to my ankle for two weeks, and then I had a a brace on for eight weeks. Yeah, and I can remember once the brace came off, I'm doing therapy. But like, I would stand at the top of my steps. There's twelve steps to go downstairs, and each one I had to talk to myself for months.

Shout it, we got about like you can do this. You can put.

So and I'm just trying to make it up and down the steps.

So imagine having to go out and play a sport where your livelihood depends on cutting and and and putting and weight dropping down on these joints and these ligaments and these. You're gonna always mentally feel like I felt something, right? Yeah, you know, always. And I asked. This has you know how we get down, but I asked the great Tony Hawk.

Oh, you—you know—he's taking a lot of bumps and bruises in his time. I said, "What's the worst injury you ever had?" He said, "Broken pelvis, by far." Oh, that don't even sound funny, bro. Every cough, every sneeze, every bit of like anything that tightens that diaphragm is your pelvis. And so he was like, "It is the worst thing on earth." So when you said you had that cast. Just made me think of Tony, man.

Luckily, it wasn't that bad, man. Yeah, but I did like have a point where when I had the brace, at first I put it on outside or inside of my pants, so I'd be on the bus and I'd be sitting with my leg out, and people thought I was just being a jerk. I got kicked multiple times, and then I realized I got to put the brace on the outside. That way, people would see I'm not right. Yeah, I'm not just chilling like this.

I can't move it, bro. Yeah, bro. But yeah, man, let's go Sixers. You can go Lakers. Here you go, man.

All right, this is fun. Tonight's gonna be fun, man. NXTAW. I'm looking for it because, like I said, we we love all wrestling here, so we're looking forward to watching both of them. We got friends in high places everywhere.

Yeah, man.

So enjoy wrestling tonight. Yeah. Matter of fact, I'm about to beat this traffic. TJ, can you tell? Better get out there because that four hundred five ain't no joke, bro.

It's sometimes it's I'd rather get power bombed than sit in the four hundred five.

Sometimes when like they be setting up meetings for me and I see I got to take the four hundred five, I request Zoom. Right? I don't want. I want to go.

I'm walking to my car. Be careful. Having uncontrolled eosinophilic esophagitis or EoE can mean you're stuck in many ways, like cutting your food into tiny pieces. Or stuck chewing food for a long time. Dupixent (dupilumab), a prescription medicine for patients one year and older weighing at least thirty-three pounds, can help with that.

It's a breakthrough treatment that can reduce inflammation in the esophagus and improve swallowing. How about this? Dupixent is not a steroid. It proactively treats EoE, so you can get ahead of it. Severe allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can occur.

Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or wheezing, or swelling of your face, mouth, tongue, or throat. Tell your doctor of new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection, or asthma. Don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor. Feeling stuck with EoE? Start treating with Dupixent.
