What's really good, ladies and gentlemen, first
and foremost, we're right before the holidays.
I'm excited, hope everybody's getting their stuff
on their Christmas list. It's been a while since
we've been on here. A lot of ish, a lot of wack
shit has happened at wrestling. A lot of interesting
shit has happened. He's... Listen, I tried to
tell this guy... out until 2026, right? Mr. Overhead
goes yellow, and that shit lasted like five days.
Hey. Hey, man. What's going on, guys? It's your
boy, Muffins Martinez. And like always, Chef,
always forget. Don't forget to follow, subscribe,
hit that like button. We're here. We had to do
this wrestling thing because I told Chef, I said,
Chef, it's been almost like Four weeks and I'm
chomping at the biz man for some wrestling talk
but I wanted to start that conversation off with
MLW and at the last show they had they have mentioned
that fusion will be returning to a Weekly episode
starting in 2026. They didn't specify when in
2026 but their first live show I want to say
is like in towards the end of January so I'm
hoping that that will be a live episode like
they always do and then after that they'll do
like a will they do like the usual second show
that's taped and then they'll use that tape show
going forward for the next four weeks weekly
episodes till their next live show and keep doing
stuff like that, man. But I know you're happy
because I'm excited that MLW Fusion is back.
We need it to be back, bro. We need it to return.
OK, so this has been my question I've wanted
to ask you for a while, especially on here. I'm
a little nervous about what we're going to get
out of MLW because it's going back live, not
live. Weekly, but do you think even though it
will be 45 minutes whatever it might be? Are
we going to get a weekly show as well? I'm a
hundred percent sure MLW fusion is as always
weekly episode every week, so I Do not know why
they will change it now Why you know why it's
always been MLW fusion? So it's always been an
hour show, you know, because they put the commercials
when they do it on being sports or whatever.
And if we'll see you on YouTube, then of course
they won't have any commercials. So you'll get
the, you know, all the action or whatever, 30,
45 minutes or whatever it's going to be. So I
don't see why it will be changed now. I know
hopefully it'll be better with the, you know,
injection of Paul Walter Hauser. and how the
last show they did, they did it and they used
some kind of technical video audio set that they
do in the movies. So I'm looking forward to see
how that works into the weekly episodes if they
do that way, if they go that way. But, you know.
I was gonna ask you, because at first when I
was watching it, it felt... Yes. I was like,
what is this? And the more I watched, I was like,
yo, the clap of how they did that is super clean,
dude. They said they were using some kind of
cameras and more like they're doing in Hollywood
with some cinematic and audio system that they
use and some other TV shows that they use on
TV and stuff like that. I, you know, our first,
like you say, it felt weird, but the more I saw
it, I got used to it. I was like, okay, I mean,
this is pretty good if they go that way in the
future. So, I know that next year, they already
have January, February, and March already set
up for the shows, live shows. So, we're not getting
anything for the rest of the year. Nothing probably
the beginning of January either, because I don't
think they did a tape show after the last show
they did. or any matches so whenever that live
show hits in the middle end of January we'll
get to see that one live show and then hopefully
if they do have a second show that they usually
do the tapes that will become their weekly episodes
and then they could do it that way for the rest
of the year which I will be psyched and stoked
if that's what happens. Well, time will tell.
So, um, so Heppe kind of said a whole lot new
faces. So are you taking that we're going to
get more like wrestlers or more CMLL? Dude, they,
they, they'll be tweeting stuff out nowadays
just to like, for you to read. But from what
we've seen the last couple of years, those tweets,
they don't mean that. And you'll see a couple
here and there. Maybe, you know, a couple of,
well definitely more CMLL guys. That's not gonna
stop anytime from what I've seen. That's not
gonna stop anytime soon. So we're definitely
gonna see more Mexican wrestlers. We might hopefully
see more female wrestlers from Toshi, Toshi,
what is it? Joshi Pro Wrestling. Yeah, yeah,
Joshi Pro Wrestling, the females. when we have
our MLW women's champion. So we'll definitely
we'll see more females champions from their wrestlers.
But, you know, hopefully, if people get released
during the year from other companies, they'll
do their cup of tea stop during MLW before they
go to AEW, WWE or somewhere else. So. Okay, so.
I mean, I don't think. We're talking about the
ladies. We're talking about the ladies. Um, and
we didn't, like I said, there's a lot going on.
We didn't really get home. Um, you had Priscilla
Kelly, you had, uh, oh man, once or later, uh,
Scarlett Bordeaux, who I don't remember being
charged. She kind of just pulled up and went
against, um, I was like done. Oh my God. I just
forgot her name. I had it hard. It's not done.
Girl is the dawn from the UK now when I to it
that night I'm like, oh he's a dawns gonna run
through a right. It's not Scarlet Bordeaux getting
the dub and look I'm not talking about what she
physically looks like I'm talking like Scarlet
looks very Very fucking refined. She looked real
good. I was surprised with it and her getting
the dub kind of made me feel like Maybe they're
going to stick around this time, you know? I
mean, we'll see what happens. I mean, I know
Carmen Bordeaux is this little slouch in the
ring. I mean, she has wrestling abilities. I
mean, she still holds, like, the highest ROH
video on YouTube, record -wise, for a number
of views in one of her matches that she had there
for Ring of Honor a couple of years ago. Oh,
damn. So before it got bought by Tony Khan and
before she went to the league. So she knows how
to wrestle, it's just for some reason, Dory Dory
never had to wrestle. So why, I don't know, but
- She didn't come out with cross, right? Yeah,
definitely. She could definitely wrestle. She
didn't come out with cross. No. And she looked
great. She felt like her. It wasn't, oh, Killer
Cross's wife Scarlett Bordeaux. This was just
Scarlett Bordeaux come in and she looked great.
So I was like, okay. I like what we're seeing
here. Yeah, we'll see what happens with the females,
man. I mean, there's a lot of independent ladies
that have been bussing their butts for years
who are really ready to start being shown on
TV, especially when AEW gets them on the shows
and... just basically to be jobbers or whatever
but they're getting shown and you know once you
see somebody that you maybe haven't heard of
or has been flying on the Dorado you kind of
go oh shit I know her or oh wow she she looks
good you know she is presentable or whatever
how they see I don't know how you view the females
nowadays or how They think of what this person
is not TV ready or stuff like that them if you
are busting your ass in other shows Yeah, and
these other shows have small TV connections on
YouTube and channels around their own area like
in Houston with Booker T's or Memphis wrestling
down in Memphis now they have their show on TV
in their areas if they're being shown on TV Why
can't they wrestle in a bigger company? I never
understood that. What is to be ready? You know
what I'm saying? They're there. They're doing
their shit. So let's give them a chance and see
what happens. All that can happen is they're
going to botch. They're going to look back, and
you're going to go, OK, at least we try. We move
on to the next set of girls, or they're going
to show out. Let me ask you a question. We'll
feature them. So let me ask you a question because
of a match where the guy botched like three,
four times, you said, right? Jesus. Yeah, on
Monday night. OK. I got Lee trying to hold up.
War Raiders. That was just bad, bro. OK. How
many times has Nia Jax botched? How many times
have we seen a bunch of girls botch, right? How
many times have we seen a bunch of girls on the
biggest level botch and a bunch of guys, right?
Like, you see these? I'm just saying, we see
these guys and girls in their rigs. Yes. But
I remember we used to make fun of Sasha Bang,
Mercedes Bonet, because she used to always badge
at least one step match. Yeah. And she was featured
hard. So that's my point, right? So it's like,
unfortunately in this game, we said special treatment,
right? We see it in sports all the time, where
a guy does something, he'll get it. a call when
you don't deserve it. If you're selling merchandise,
you get a pass, right? Where, how many times
have we, over these years of doing this, how
many times have we seen talent that we're like,
how the fuck is this person not on XYZ show,
right? And then when they do, we're like, yeah,
we've been telling you about it for the longest
time. Right now, you're just catching on to it.
The thing is, Every state has six shows, right?
Every state has a billion of them. The talent
pool alone in the United States is endless. And
I'm not saying everybody's ever going to go to
ADW. I'm not saying that. But I guarantee you
right now there's three or four guys in New York,
in Florida, in Detroit, in Chicago that are ready
for MLW. AEW, WWE, TNF, they're physically ready.
They have all the tools. It's just they don't
have the following yet or whatever it might be.
My bad, bro, my bad, my bad. No, but you're right.
I mean, it happened, but it is what it is. We'll
see what happens starting in 2026 with MLW and
see what the product will be, what the show is
gonna be. who they bring in. We'll know after
the first month when they have the first show
and the solution comes out, we'll know exactly
what the hell is going on and then we'll know,
okay, this is going to be a big year for MLW
or they're making the same program. But with
that said, I wanted to move on to CNA because
they had their Bound for Glory show and at their
show or before their show, they had announced
that they finally got a TV deal or a streaming
server so now starting in January 15th in a move
for having a home on AMC. They said that it's
a multi -year contract. I saw the number. I don't
know if it's true or not but this is a multi
-year deal worth 40 million dollars. Don't know
how true that is cuz we don't I didn't see any
Official big website by either AMC it was you
know how that goes out here Somebody gets the
number and then run with it. So if it's true
then It's gonna be a good year for TNA. I'm happy
that after all these years they finally get a
TV deal and we were we spoke about this all year
when AEW or when WWE went to Netflix and AEW
went to HBO Max we were saying TNA has to get
out of the access TV and they have to get a streaming
service or a channel because if not they're not
gonna survive without that yeah and if in December
it finally happened it took almost the whole
year But we can say that every time we had a
show, we spoke about it, that they needed to
get this done. Now it's going to be, like I said,
it's AMC and also AMC Plus. So that's also their
streaming service. So they'll be able to also
see the show there, which is pretty good. What's
AMC under? Like what's the umbrella is under?
Because I don't think it's by themselves. Is
it like Prime or Paramount or? I'm gonna look
it up right now. AMC. And I know that's on there.
AMC. Man, it'd be crazy if Negan pulls up in
the fucking Impact Wrestling show. Jeffrey, Negan
Logan. Go. Oh, the guy from - Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
I've watched a lot of that shit. Oh, come on.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the man, right? He's done
more than just Negan, bro. And Negan is one of
the characters of all time. And he's the guy
from The Walking Dead? Yeah, Negan, bro. Oh,
I don't know people named like that by real names.
Meaning dude, the baseball band who be fucking
wild. I don't know you named like that for real.
Oh, Jeffrey D. Morton is one of my favorite actors.
AMC's under his own umbrella. Yeah, they own
all the other places. They own Acorn, Acorn TV,
All Black, AMC called BBC America. High Dive,
which is what? The second biggest anime in the
United States behind Funimation. Independent
Film Company. That Filo, which is that TV thing
Filo. Like RLGE Films. Sentai Wars, which was
one of the biggest animes in Japan. Shutter,
Sundance Now, Sundance TV, WeTV and WeTV Plus.
The revenue is $2 .42 billion. Whoo! So, yeah,
so they're making money. Yeah, so they're their
own entity. Yo, you know, this is just... I had
an epiphany, right? So, The Walking Dead does
crazy cinematic shit, right? Like, they do. It's
The Walking Dead. Do you know who kind of does
something like that in Impact Wrestling? The
Hardy Boys. They do the Walking Dead. No, no,
no. Like the cinematic fight style? Oh, yeah.
Now they had that, what's that shit they did
on their own property? Yeah, the Apocalypse stuff
and stuff in their own barn. Can you imagine
if the Walking Dead came in and helped them do
some wild shit? They had like a Halloween special?
I highly doubt that's gonna happen now. I mean,
if they do good, maybe by July, August, they
might try to take it about something like that.
But I mean, I know they had Carlos Silva do an
interview and they asked him if, you know, if
they're going to do like live episodes. And they
said like right now, the first episode is going
to be live. They're going to have some live episodes
here and there during the first couple of months
and see how it runs and how it goes. Yeah, baby
steps. Yeah, you just don't want to go all in.
Yeah, like, you know, WWE or AEW, you know, give
you all, you know, all live and what episode
like that. Cause like what? 400 grand to do a
one episode, live episode. So they got to get
into that. So, but at least now started driving
15. They finally have their own home, AMC, also
AMC Plus. And of course, every good news is always
something negative. I don't know if it's true
or not. They said that a lot of the talent in
the back are kind of worried about moving to
AMC because of how unhappy they are with the
booking. I guess the story, who writes the stories,
who lays the stuff out. If it's true or not,
I don't know. Bro, okay. You watch Impact, right?
Yes. How do you feel about the storylines? I
don't care about the reference. How do you feel
about the storylines? It's like any other company.
There's hits and there's a bunch of misses. Okay,
let's just say it's a massive mess. Let's talk
massive mess. Which is what we've been saying.
The product, hold on, hold on, which takes us
when that moment, if he won in New York, crowd
goes crazy as the home viewer, as a wrestling
fan. If that crowd is going nuts, it makes you
feel like, like him or not, right? Because you're
like, oh shit, this place is electric. How many
times we heard that when Hogan comes out, if
you first hear, dude, the rock is cooking. crowd
goes fucking nuts your hair stands up right like
there's there's levels to that crowd shit so
that's a mess he loses it a month later another
mess yeah which i still do so you see all this
goofy shit um you have uh santino morela who
i can care less on screen whatever uh but it
does not feel Like, right, like, hey, it's okay.
But if talent, listen, I get it. Like, okay,
you remember the movie Pirates of the Caribbean?
Oh, yes. Okay, now the first Pirates of the Caribbean
guy's in the cell talking about the Black Pearl.
And one of the guys say, oh, he was able to live
until the tail. so jack sparrow never got away
how would anybody ever hear the tale right so
if nothing is being said how would anybody know
about this right so something and i'm not saying
a lot of wrestlers have said this maybe it's
one maybe it's two maybe it's 20 but if one person
said really fucking vibing with the shit back
here and they tell the wrong outfit because someone
had in confidence with them like oh man i really
i'm cool with this cat i can say whatever that
person goes on their platform impact wrestling
star said don't ever put a graphic right so you
can click in and they'll put a little question
mark on it clickbait so oh shit a lot of the
impact guys look this guy said so is that guy
in the locker room does he wrestle back there
no shut the fuck up you don't know what it's
like back there you know What I'm saying like,
it's goofy shit, bro. And if you don't like it
that much when your contract ends, bounce. Yeah.
Well, what I've seen lately, like the only guy
that's getting a lot of NXT love is Leon Slater
from TNA. You see him like going back and forth.
I know they lost Jordan Grace, of course, and
then they just lost your guy. His name, he appears.
Joe Henry. Joe Henry. So his contract quietly
ended with TNA. He quietly went right to WWE.
Because you didn't see like nothing huge was
made about it. You didn't see nothing like no
reports or anything. He just slowly pushed, ended
one contract and slipped right into NXT. And
now he's in NXT. Bro, he's in NXT wrestling now.
With this crossover that we said this, that first
time that Joe Henry came over and the fans were
singing his song, right? Oh, yes. You're like,
Shawn Michaels ain't a stupid guy who's been
in this field for since the 80s, right? He goes,
oh, shit. Second time he out goes crazy. And
then I think he was in Mania. He was in the Royal
Rumble. He also did WrestleMania. Okay, and every
single time he comes out, he did, Mania was with
what? Orton, right? Yes, yes. Okay. Orton was
with Orton. Yeah. And even Randy Orton gave him
props, right? Like, he's that one. So - Yeah.
You knew he's a WWE guy. Yeah. He's not staying
there. Yeah, nothing is I mean, you know Santana,
I think contrast coming up also soon. So will
he stay in TNA or will he jump ship to? NXT,
you know, get your action figure. Better opportunities,
more money, you know, so you know what, we'll
find out. about the love of wrestling, or is
it about the money? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
And here's where I wanted to bring this up, because
I know you have a lot of shit you want to talk
about. But let's just go back to where he's from.
So he's from the LEA, and a lot of people who
might not know what the LEA is, it's the Lower
East Side. Google it. It's fucked up. So he comes
from nothing, where he's been incarcerated, right?
This is not me throwing shade on him. This is
public knowledge. He has fought, fought to get
out of the hood and to now. So that story shouldn't
end just an impact. Because I want him to be
a WWE guy. So every kid that ever comes up from
wherever goes, damn, one of us made it to the
biggest platform in the world. He's one of us.
I don't care if it's Puerto Rican, black, white,
I don't care. I want to see one of our own at
level that we identified get to that spot so
every other kid can go damn look at even when
he fucked up came out walk walk forward and look
at him now you know what I'm saying that's that's
where I'm at with it yeah so I mean we'll see
what happens you know because the friendship
or partnership between both companies is still
going strong it's still gonna happen people think
they were saying oh One of the things that they
put on the thing is like, they have like 60 days
that we have like to avoid that kind of blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah for the next couple of tapings till
next year. So this is gonna be, do you think
that's why some of those TNA guys might be upset
or girls? Because the NXT people getting burned
on their show? Well, I mean, it is one thing
if it was like the big names of NXT. I would
have, yeah, but it's like more like the mid card
guys from NXT. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what
I'm saying? It's not like it's not all about
family. or Ricky Starks, you know, or something
like that, you know, going back to TNA and doing
stuff there. It's the guy that you don't hear
the names that were, you know, what happened
to this guy? I haven't seen this guy in a couple
of months. And then, oh, there he is. Now he's
part of the NXT TNA thing. You know, so these
guys that they haven't used in a while. And I
was like, hey, we got something for you. We got
something special for you. We want you to go
and be part of this invasion. You know, so they
have a tag team. They have a couple of guys who
are single wrestlers. And you go, what happens
in that tag team in a while? What happens in
that guy in a while? So those are the guys that
are in this mess. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm fine
with it. I mean, it's helping TNA. reach their
spot that they're in right now. And I'll be honest,
and I'm probably gonna catch a lot of heat for
this. I don't think TNA will be in their position
down right now. Of course not. Of course not.
Well, they carry them. They carry them into the
promised land and it's okay. You know, my hope
of going to be buying them is not going to happen.
So I'll be wrong on that one. I got to eat that
one because I felt for a fact that he was going
to buy them before the year was over. But I'm
glad they didn't because at least it's a whole
different company where they could bring... I'm
going to listen. I'm on that same ship. You know,
so I'm glad that didn't happen. So, but yeah,
but... The next story that I want to talk about
is I'm going to rant about something that I saw
and it's war games. Right. It was awesome, don't
even war games. It was awesome how Liv Morgan
came back and how Ray, I was going to say Ray
Mysterio, but Dominic Mysterio defeated John
Cena because of Liv Morgan, which we knew that
was going to happen to get the belt back to Dominic.
And then keep rising him up, and then John Cena's
last match is gonna be this Saturday. So that's
all good, I loved it, understood that. The thing
that pissed me off the most was the war game
matches. And I'll go back a little history, war
games was invented in the NWA. It was something
to combat WrestleMania elderly. that had just
came out in what, 83, I believe, for first WrestleMania,
84. So they said, we have to do something because
they're picking our butts. Well, they invented
war games and it was indented for the bad guys,
which was at this time in 86 was the full horseman.
There wasn't anybody worse than the full horseman.
Lex Luger was just a member. of the horsemen
they were going to shout to the whole company
they said war games is going to be this is for
the horsemen gang mentality get everybody in
one ring and get the angels to shadow each other
there's blood now this is where first time i
started seeing blood in matches there's blood
just a cage you get to break your your face in
it they're throwing your body into the cage you're
getting this crazy stuff right so horsemen everything
about the horsemen they do all this shit like
that please fast forward now 2025 you have your
first war games females but you have the first
female one they had right they had They had Finn
Rhea, AJ Lee, Alexa Brinser Girl, Sarah Flair,
Rio Scott, and Rhea Ripley against Finn Asuka,
Ricky Lynch, Last Legend, Nia Jax, and the Kabuki
Warriors, Asuka, and Kari Sane. Couple weeks
before in AEW, they had Guns N' Glory. I don't
know if you ever got to see that match. Yeah.
Yeah. With the 5 on 5 girls and the girls. First
one they have females, girls and girls match.
It was blood. And there was blood and I was shocked.
And I was shocked because I loved it. Female
bleeding, I've never seen, you rarely see females
bleeding. They were bleeding. They're beating
the shit out of each other. They're going, they're
getting hit with everything. On the body, on
the cage. I'm like, oh my God, this is war games.
This is how this is supposed to be. So now me,
I'm going to this impression, like, wow. It's
gonna have to top this. Because those girls just
went, I mean, they are freaking, the blue girl,
oh my God. A -E -W, she's the blue, Sky Blue.
She's that girl was bleeding. I mean her he had
a crimson mask on It was beautiful. It was like
a work of art, right? Well, I'm thinking oh my
god war game is gonna be crazy Dude, this is
the most Disappointing war games that I ever
seen in my life Well now one one Ink of blood
this is supposed to be This match has been built
since I've been 13 years old as the carnage.
This is the match where you bleed. This is where
the cage is a welcome part of violence. This
is where you rake somebody's face. You hit them.
You do everything. Not one drop of anything.
But this is supposed to be... a street fight
type of thing. If you're in a street fight and
you hate somebody, you want to see blood. Dude,
not one. And then the worst part was is Eoskai
climbs, gets on top. You see the five Eos just
sitting here, or standing looking up. She's looking
to the crowd. She starts doing this bullshit
that she does. I don't get this. Keep talking,
keep talking. I don't get this, Nemesis. They
hand her a garbage can. She looks into the crowd.
She puts the garbage can on top of her or pulls
her body inside the garbage can and then does
a moonsault of the kid with the garbage can with
the five waiting girls on the bottom. Folks,
it's been close to 30 seconds to 45 seconds.
These five girls are just waiting for her to
do something. You need to tell me. I have to
sit here or stand here for almost 45 seconds,
looking up, waiting for homegirl to do whatever
she's gonna do. And we're gonna stand here, just
living with me. We're not getting hit. Nobody's
beating us up. We're not fighting. Nobody's hitting
us. We're not, you know, running for cover or
anything. We're just basically just staying there.
And all the fan favorites are just like around
looking like, okay. Is she going to jump anytime
soon? Are you going to do something? So she finally
does it. Like, why does it take that long to
do a move from the top rope? It shouldn't take
45 seconds to almost a minute of non -action
down on the bottom because the girl or the person
on top is doing a bunch of nonsense. They're
just turning around. Like, why? So that was my
first thing there. And then you have the men's
war games to end the night. Everything's going
good. Love the match. And then, towards the end
of the match, you have Jay Uso, or Jimmy Uso,
whichever, dance on top of the cage or all the
way on top. And ours was stupid music. Hey, you
just go back and forth. holding on to the thing,
and it's like a dance break. Like, why? Why are
you having a dance break in the middle of a war
games? War games is supposed to be violence.
You're supposed to be seeing blood in war games,
but you see Jimmy or J. Russo on top of the cage
doing this with this music blaring and the whole
crowd doing this. in the middle of war games.
Why is there a concert going on in the middle
of war games? And, and, and it's not because
Black Lives Matter comes out and the music's
like, but why is there a dance break in the middle
of the most horrific match in the history of
wrestling? So, I'm gonna tag in on two of these.
One. I'm sorry, but it didn't, it was just. I
get what you're saying. It destroyed every vision
that have of war games. It destroyed everything
that I've seen from war games since the first
war games they had back in 86. Before Horseman
and James J. Dillon against Dusty Rhodes, Nikita
Karloff, the World Warriors and Paul Ellering.
Okay. From the on. And this just. destroyed almost
40 years of massacres in my brain. My beautiful
nightmares. Okay, so hear me out. I grew up and
I enjoy steel cage fights because they felt closer
to home, right? They have more violent and people
do foul shit. War games, I think you're exactly
right with the whole gang war. or fair mentality,
right? So I like the, I'm not gonna say the straight
up carnage, but the mass beatdowns. It didn't
bother me as much because the girls didn't bleed.
What bothers me are those spots where you just
have people, you see it all the time in lucha
matches, praying, waiting for somebody to do
something today so they can just catch them and
it is what it is, right? It's distressing because
they're just looking like dumbasses. Like, and
hear me out, Martinez. And he climbs to the third
story of a building. He's gonna jump and smash
me. And I'm standing there with four of my friends.
Why don't we just move out of the fucking way
and let him kill himself, right? Like, I mean,
it's the simplest thing to do. It's just sidestep.
and that's that but nope in wrestling you can't
you got to stand there and wait gotcha so the
spot where she gets the the garbage can on her
i thought was stupid i mean if listen not for
nothing not much could go right with that spot
her god forbid she fucking lands the wrong way
she's right there's no there's no safety in that
garbage can you just getting crushed so but the
no bleeding It didn't bother me as much as, but
after watching the AEW, I was like, shit, this
is gonna be crazy. The only part, WWE has never
been that big on the girls getting opened up
like that, right? They never kind of tested that
waters. You've seen it in AEW. I mean, listen,
guys and women bleed every episode of AEW. It's
all blood. That's all that shit is. It should
be ABW, all blood wrestling. The girls in Impact
Wrestling bleed in matches and stuff like that.
You see them get faked up. We've seen hardcore
matches, stuff like that. WWE protects their
women, bull, whatever. The whole yeet thing and...
I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of shit that...
If I had a fight with somebody, I'm not sitting
there waiting so you could do your thing and
get the crowd. to it, right? Like, and if you
need the crowd participate match, you're not
doing your justice in your match. Dude, this
whole G thing is, uh, Monday was the new day,
the new day, AJ Styles and Flagler Lee in the,
in the thing, and they're about to face off.
He called the Usos. They went into one commercial
break. They came back and they still do stupid
shit. It took like, I want to say seven, eight
minutes before one of them finally spoke, because
all they were doing was just this stupid nonsense
with this whole yeeshit. I'm sick of the yeeshit.
It's kind of cool when it starts, when they come
up, come on, go into the ring and talk. You don't
have to go into six different break parties,
like they did at war games. The war games was
called the match beyond for a reason. You're
supposed to be destroying yourself. Now, I agree
with you. They protect the females, but there
are times with AEW, TNA, where a badge happens
and by mistake, you know, a lip, their truth
or something, and they bleep. We on this, okay,
we know all shit out. A tough kick or a stiff
kick or a punch. We see, we know why it happened.
So it wasn't part of the match. But, you know,
watching the A -Duby girls in Ghosts N' Glory,
that shit was crazy. And I just saw a match,
I want to say her name is Angel Metro, up against
this guy somewhere else. And it was one of those
hardcore matches with the light bulbs and shit.
Oh, yeah, light tubes and shit. Guys, they was
crazy. And, you know, I hate those type of matches
because I... I can't say it. I don't understand
what's up with this fascination with these damn
light bulbs, fake light bulbs just blowing up
and all this shatter everywhere. Dude, I'm sorry,
but... Yeah, I think that match was fucking dumb
as fuck. But that match was crazy. I saw that
man and I thought she did one hell of a job in
that match. But yeah, you know, it happens. You
know, this blow, this kind of shit, it happens.
Well, you know, I'm just so sick of it, but it's
totally just... War Games was done once a year
for a reason. It was the mystique of the match.
It was built up to it. You build up to it because
there's rage between the participants. They want
to kill each other. If you want to kill each
other and there's rage, there has to be blood.
I don't care. If you hate each other, they have
a match. in a cage that has no blood, it's like
a tag team match being a one -on -one match.
They say, oh, we did some of the tag team titles,
but it's chef against so -and -so. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. You know, it's like, no, there has
to be blood. I mean, there's no rule that says
that. But then if you're in a damn cage, there
has to be blood. Somebody has to get busted open.
Somebody has to. I want to see somebody busted
open. I want to see blood. I want to see a crimson
mess. I want to see all that just blood just
flowing. I want to see the red cross there doing
the match, like picking up the blood in buckets.
and put it in into the bucket and then put it
into some kind of machine and roll it into the
machine to make sure that the blood is clean
and then use the blood towards you know use the
blood towards patients in the future. I want
to see the red cross inside the ring with little
piles picking up the blood like that's the type
of match that I want to see blood in there. I
want to see the drip. I want to see the red cross.
there, run the blood through, let's find out
who's the match for what. Get the blood up, get
the blood clean, get it out. There's a patient
needing blood somewhere, send them to the hospital
right now. You know what I'm saying? Somebody
just fell, broke a leg, they need blood for the
surgery. Get them out there. That's what's gonna
happen, bro. I'm just saying, that's just me.
That's just me. I'm with you, I'm with you on
it. Usually I don't agree with you, but I'm with
you on this one. Which is rarely, which is rare.
So we got to stand this at 45, 32. We agree with
you. One last news before we leave. The takeover
starting of massive streaming services buying
something else. So we got the news that Netflix
has purchased WB. for 87 point something billion
dollars. Now, everybody was afraid because WB
owns HBO Max and HBO or all the other shit that
they own. And HBO Max has AEW. But what they
did was that they are taking ENT and PBS out
of the deal and put it into Discovery Channel.
So now we're starting when, whenever this deal
becomes final, Discovery Channel is gonna be
its own entity, Discovery something something,
Discovery Plus or whatever. And TVS, TNT is gonna
be there, so you're gonna be able to see AEW
shows there. And HBO Max is gonna be into Netflix,
where whenever this becomes a... Complete deal.
HBO Max gets absorbed. And it's no longer HBO
Max. It's gonna be Netflix. So of course Paramount
is pissed about the whole thing. So now they
did what they're calling a hostile fit. Where
they're jumping in and saying even though me
and Chef already had this deal in place, the
ink is still not dry because as we know, This
is a process of six to a year time, because now
all this stuff has to be looked over by lawyers,
looked over by judges, looked over by both parties.
So every time you look at your lawyer, look at
something and say, Jeff, you see this here? You
said you didn't like this. We have to change
it. So now they'll change it. They have to send
that paperwork back to the other lawyer's side
for them to sit there, go through everything,
sign off on that. So then send that back to your
lawyers so they can sit there, look at it and
say, okay, now you sign off on it. And then go
into the judges to say, okay, so go back and
forth. This is why lawyers and eldest firms make
this much money because this go back and forth,
and if you got 127 pages or something, all those
127 pages gotta be looked at. Every single time,
you make sure that thing is correct. So now,
your son of God, of Christ's name, Alex, comes
in, Paramount, and say, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not gonna, we're not gonna sit for this.
So now, Alex says, we're gonna drop in now, and
we're gonna make a bit of our own. So now they're
offering Netflix more money, more money on their
stocks, and more money upfront on the deal, more
cash. So if they offer you a 7 .4 billion dollars
out of that money, we're going to say we're going
to offer you this much, but we're going to give
you this much cash right now ahead. So we might
give you 30, 40 billion. cash right now in assets
right now on top of the stocks going forward.
So now, even though you and I have a deal in
place, I'm going to go hold up. Me being Netflix
saying hold up, all this offering more money
and more cash. Now, do I keep my deal with Jeff,
even though we already said that? Or do I go
back and go like them? I have to look into this
because they are offering more equity. Now, can
I get Chef to at least come close to that or
match that to keep the same deal that we have
in place? Because this is what happens now. Back
in the days, it usually was a handshake. You
spat on your hand. You shook the hand. It was
a done deal. Now? is their word against their
word. Everything has to be legalized. Now I have
to listen to this other offer. Now check what
you got. Are you going to come with something
better than what? Something close? I want to
ask you a question because I know we're in the
50 minute mark and I know we got to stay under
that 59. My only thing to you is One would you
not consider this a monopoly of that kind of
industry because monopolies are supposed to be
Denied if they're unfair of building and cornering
the market, right? So them buying into that and
everything Right also now like I'm worried well
shit are they gonna do all They have their own
Hollywood studios to film and everything. Do
those just go straight to streaming and not hit
the movie or the movie box? If it doesn't hit
the movie box, then movies start going out of
business and then we're making less money. You
know what I mean? Like, I think that's my worry
about the situation. And that's Paramount's number
one worry is that it's a monopoly. Because like
you said, you're taking WP, which is one of the
biggest movie companies out there, paid actors
now. You said, how am I gonna get paid if, I
mean, you're gonna get paid anyway because, you
know, when you go and you accept the role, they're
gonna say, they're offering you this much to
this much. But then you get paid extra because
now you have to do the rounds of promoting the
film. So you get that extra money and you get
paid because now you got social media. So Champ
is talking about his new movie. You get paid
for all that shit. But if they don't need you,
they're gonna make the extra money. So, yeah.
That's my thing. Like when me and you were growing
up, right? I don't care. Let's just say back
to the future. Which is a mega hit, right? You
had almost a year for that to hit VHS, right?
You had to wait almost a year. Now, some movies
are screaming. At the same time, they were at
the movie theaters a week later or a month. And
you're like, well, shit, if I could sit there,
I got a huge team. My shit is like 90 something,
right? It cost me, let's say $20 to buy this
movie when it comes out in the movie theaters.
But I'm going to watch it at home because I don't
spend, I don't know, almost $60 for tickets,
right? I'm talking popcorn, drinks and snacks
even though you go to the dollar store and stick
them in your pocket. Yes sir, you know that.
I'm just kidding for real. I'm saying that, Chef,
you're gonna get them paid. That's what they
do. They're gonna put your face, they're gonna
put our faces. on the theaters. If you see these
guys come in here, check their pockets, check
everything. Because they're bringing stuff from
the dollar store because they're cheap as hell.
And that is true because we just stop in just
to get and buy either the drink. And that's it.
You got everything else inside your pockets or
little bags. They ain't going to trick you. So
it's not as dead like it's against the law. I
mean, it is against the law. What are they going
to do? They're going to kick you out. They're
going to kick you out, I'll say. Go ahead. Sorry.
So we went to the Running Running Man the other
last week. We bought like a cool popcorn bucket
thing. It was like 80 bucks, right? If I could
just... Well, think about it. Movie takes the
bucket. Obviously, the snacks came outside. So
for the movies... And then you got the journo
or food at home already or just ordered a pizza
and you're good to go. You spend 40 bucks. You're
making a movie night for $19, $20. Exactly. So
why go to the theater, spend all that, book everything?
Or I can even, I can still cheapen and go to
the theater. We sit down, we watch, we have a
good time. And that's that. For 20, well, let's
just say, 45 50 bucks right with all the snacks
and everything i'm still way cheaper like way
cheaper i don't know bro it is what it is listen
but i'm excited we're gonna have you know hold
up we'll see what happens with this you know
you know it's only december we'll know if paramount
jumps in if netflix gives the word and goes with
wb if they do then You know, we won't know till
June, July when everything changes again. And
then if that happens, then you're going to see
other streaming services jumping on the same
bandwagon. Yeah. In the future, where you see
someone like Paramount, probably now, if they
don't get into the Netflix thing, they'll go
and buy somebody else who's behind Netflix. Apple
TV or something. Yeah, something like that. Maybe
a 2B or whatever. I don't know. A prime or something.
And then you'll see really the shit gonna hit
the fan for real. No, for sure. Listen, I'm excited.
Listen, when we do this shit, we talk everything.
We talk life. We talk fun shit. We have fun with
this. We're definitely gonna... We do this. This
is what we do. I will try to convince him to
rest. I would love for him to rest until the
new... start fresh and then go back into this
heat. So most likely next week we'll do something.
My whole thing is, let's finish 2025 or we'll
rest 2026. We come in, we come in strong, we
do what we do. This point MLW looks like they're
doing good. TNA and NXT, which would be a great
topic the next time we come in, cuz I know they
got their little beef going on. Gotta be something
we talk about another time for myself. This man
would stun the hour, we outta here, deuces.
