for the show! Welcome, welcome, welcome to another
episode of Purr Sessions. Oh, is that what we're
doing now? I had to. Is that the intro now? See,
I was prepared, so. Welcome to another episode
of Purr Sessions Wrestling Podcast. I'm your
host, Mane. Big Cat Tyler Adams. What is this?
I think it's guava. I got Tropical Muay Thai.
Muay Thai, whatever the fuck it is. Muay Thai.
I am your host, the man of Maine, Big Cat Tyler
Adams. We are live every Friday, 9 p .m. Eastern
Standard Time. If you cannot catch the live show,
Passion Fruit, you can always listen to us on
Apple Podcasts and Spotify, but make sure you
give us five stars. I am here. Five Star Fox
Flash. Five Star Fox Flash. I forgot to grab
that. I forgot to pull that. It makes me sad.
Sorry. I forgot. I'm here with the nautical nightmare,
my tag team partner. What? Nautical nightmare.
There you go. He said nerdical the first time.
Nerdical. I'm going fast because this intro is
already shit. It's like a Jim Cornette podcast.
My tag team partner of the wild, Dylan Nix. Apparently
not tag team partners anymore. No. He's going
to business for himself. Totally. I wasn't running
around like a... Frickin' kicking my head cut
off at VLC. Yeah. Telling everybody that we're
no longer friends. Fuck that cat guy. He's retired.
He's retired. I know. You kept on telling people
I was retired. I'm like, I'm not retired. I said
you're quasi -retired. You just had a baby, dude.
I took a break, and I'm coming back. Oh, by the
way, Joe last night. Hang out. No, no. Excuse
me. I'm sorry. My son was in the ER. You had
reasons. I was going to spill the beans. I was
going to say you had reasons. I know I'm messing
with you again. I know he's fine. I'm just saying.
Get here. No, seriously. No, I was. I told my
wife, like, I got to go back to the gym and shit
because, A, I got a match coming up September.
Yeah, you do. B, I am rusty as fuck. And I need
to break that ring rust. Yeah, no, dude. Seriously,
it's legit. I was in there with the new kids
last week. And they're doing stuff that Aiden
Agro taught them. And they're doing, like, this
roll -through weave, hook -and -pook for a suplex.
And I'm just going, what? Oh, my gosh. It's Agro
stuff. Like, I know how he works. And, like,
I know, like, Aiden Agro is a jerk. but he's
one of the best wrestlers in Maine. Him teaching
a duo that weave through, sweepy, roll through,
grabby, throwy things that he does, it's amazing,
and you're just watching him do it, and you're
like, huh? Because it defies physics sometimes.
Yeah, I remember the last class I had with him,
we were learning a lot of Lucha shit. I'm like,
I'm never going to use this, but this is fun.
We did the... uh the uh kind of like the drill
like uh aggro not aggro um ag does when you uh
uh jump up like you you run to the corner and
you jump up into the second rope and then you
do a tiger roll instead you you do that but you
come off and you hook for a um arm drag oh yeah
when you come down you arm drag them yeah shit
like that i was like i was like okay this is
kind of cool but i'm never gonna use this shit
but uh it's kind of cool to be like well i'm
like for me i'll like i'm 275 pounds like you
know i don't you know i mean i mean it's pretty
impressive to see me do that shit but it's just
not part of my arsenal say that then i was watching
um one of the things I told the new kids is like,
find matches, find random matches and steal shit
from them. Well, don't steal it, but you borrow
it, make it your own, you know? So I was watching
a, uh, Chris Canyon versus Perry Saturn match
from thunder of all places. And this whole reversal
into, it was a, it was a hip toss. Canyon reverses
it into a double underhook belly to belly. And
I was like, okay, that's cool. Wow. Yeah. You
shared that in the chat. I still haven't checked
that out. Yeah, dude. That's dope. I did it last
night, and I didn't throw anyone, but I'd see
if I could do the reversal, just step through
to it. I'm like, that's not as hard as I thought
it was going to be, but it still looks cool.
Yeah, I really want to try the Order 66, because
I think that would be dope as shit if you actually
start hitting that. Because it's really simple.
It's really simple. Just the powerbomb, you catch
him into the... Okay, so here's my... So I got
that idea from beer money. There was a tag finish.
I think that's who we probably shared doing it.
Yeah, it was beer money, actually. I was like,
oh, man, that looks like a cool finish and a
cool move. And then I saw Raven and Canyon do
it to Vellano Ford and it was breaking his neck,
and I was like, ew. Speaking of that, did you
hear that apparently Raven has some... Terrible
news. I haven't looked into it. Chris Jericho,
he shared it. I forgot to pull it up. I'll pull
it up right now when talking about it. It sounded
like it might be something medical. I was listening
to Stevie Richards talk about him a little while
ago. Stevie was saying Ravens had a lot of concussions.
I mean a lot. There's times you can see Raven.
and there's times where he's talking and he just
forgets easy words like the words just are not
there for him and it's kind of scary to think
about it like you know i've definitely probably
rattled my brain a few times so um but it's kind
of you know like man that's that sucks so yeah
i mean there is a reason why you know um you
know the wwe doesn't allow uh wrestlers coming
in if they have x amount of concussions yeah
we saw it with sam with samoa joe yeah which
is stupid because joe's fine he's fine but like
it seemed like at one point for some reason every
match he was getting gust yeah i think too it's
like it's weird because a lot of those guys like
a joe owens zane are used to working like a certain
style and like i know kevin owens really like
a lot of his stuff he's like he's like i can't
do that to these guys and i can't do that and
i can't do this and i don't want to do this anymore
so they caught down what they did and uh hello
sylvie can i help you oh bye um Yeah, folks,
anyone listening, if you hear like tapping on
my mic stand or if you see a random cat climb
up on my keyboard, I have two new kittens and
they are very curious little buggers. That was
Sylvie you guys just saw climb up on my lap.
Grim is floating around here somewhere too. They
kind of look similar. So I'll just be like, what
are you doing? And shoo them away as best I can.
Yeah, that's all fine. It's okay. JP's cat just
interrupts all the time. The one with the can't
function correctly. The special one. Yeah. Yeah,
I'm trying to find the Raven news. I'm trying
to Chris Jericho shared. Is Chris Jericho's website,
is that paid? I have no idea, man. Where am I
thinking of? Because I see his posts all the
time on Facebook. Yeah, but you're like, is this
legit? Right. I'm trying to... Let me go over
to WhatCulture. Maybe WhatCulture's got something.
We're super prepared for the show tonight, guys.
Yeah, I've just been literally awfully busy.
It was me and my wife's anniversary of Sunday?
Was it Sunday? Whatever day it was this week.
You can't remember your wife's anniversary? No,
I just can't remember what day it was. I know
what day it is. monday it was monday and uh oh
man oh that's right mercedes money just won another
belt yeah so we celebrated today and didn't realize
that uh everybody and their mother decided to
go out tonight and we had to sit yeah so by the
time we finished our food it was like already
8 30 i'm like oh i need to get home and finish
oh speaking of weird news did you hear someone
ask cody rhodes if he was ever gonna write a
book No, I didn't. Yeah, so apparently the story
goes that someone was like, it might have been
Becky, actually, Becky Lynch. She was talking
to Cody. She's like, are you ever going to write
a book? And Cody's like, I'd love to, but a huge
part of my story is locked. It's behind a wall
that I can't tell. He did talk about AEW. Yeah,
that's his AEW story. He can't talk about it.
I guarantee he's got a DNR or whatever. Not DNR.
NDA. NDA. Non -disclosure agreement. There you
go. I'm only one -sided, I swear. He did mention
a little bit about it, though, in one podcast.
I had it saved somewhere. I can't find it. It
was actually some other guy. It was actually
some other guy, surprisingly. And he was explaining
that basically he just had a problem with the
direction that the product was going. I mean,
I get it because like, so they're like, oh, Cody
Rhodes comes in. And at that time, he wasn't
quite Cody yet. Like, not the Cody we know now.
Not the, you know, whoa, you know, that Cody.
It was getting there. But they're like, okay,
so you're going to go. Yeah, it's because they
wanted. uh and i've said this before aw wants
the flippy they want the the young bucks matches
or the will osprey match that's doing a thousand
miles an hour nothing gets to register you know
where it's they're literally trading poison rana's
back and forth it's like poison rana poison poison
it's like what no cody is not he's he's old school
mixed new school so he knows how to tell an old
school story but he can work a new school new
school style like it's a little more fast paced
you know but you know they didn't want that ew's
like no we don't want this old school shit and
that's why you don't know what i'll back listen
to arn anderson so i yeah it is crazy yeah got
william regal on the freaking roster no one listens
to william regal i mean come on It's crazy how
much talent they fucking had. William Regal was
in there. You had Arne Anderson. You had William
Regal. You had Mark Henry. You had Paul White.
You had... Give me a second here. Punk? Punk.
You had Terry Blanchard. Hell, you have FCR,
one of the best tag teams on the planet. You
have all this amazing talent just sitting there.
and you're not picking their brains, going, how
do I become a better professional wrestler? Yeah,
because I think it's more of a, I think it's
more of a, we want to do it our way and not your
way type thing, which I understand that, but
you still got to take the information and try
to make yourself better. I'm sorry. I asked Ricky
Morton questions last time I was in an area with
Ricky Morton. I've asked Ken Anderson questions.
I've asked... Heck, every time I see AG, I might
pick AG's brain a little bit. Right, exactly.
There's nothing wrong with that. I think what's
wrong is that if you think you're fucking number
one, you don't think anything needs to be worked
on. Last podcast, we literally listened to Killer
Kross was telling a story about him and Sammy
asking The Undertaker how the match was and what
they could work on. Guys who are WWE level were
still asking to see if they were doing good.
Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Sorry. Fucking
cat. I'm going to pull this up. I can't find
anything about it. Maybe it's fake. I could have
sworn it was a... Oh, right here. I got it right
here. So Raven planning to undergo a second knee
replacement. Solar and... No, that's not... Disclose
that. Sorry. It was dated this day, but two years
ago. She's another pain in the ass. Go away.
There you go. Sorry. So, I don't know. I can't
find it. Audio listeners are probably like, what
is going on? I have two kittens. That's what's
going on. They're crazy. Shake them. They'll
eventually stop. Dude, no. No. You want to see
the clip of the week? Clip of what? The clip
of the week. Oh, you got a clip of the week?
Yeah, go ahead. Let's see how dumb this is. So
the clip of the week is brought to you by me
looking on Instagram and thinking things are
cool or very dumb and putting it on the show.
And if you disagree with me, you can always go
into our Discord. The link is in the description.
And you can join the Discord and post your clips
of the week that you think are better than mine.
And maybe you'll get posted. But I found this
and this is... Not dumb. This is actually pretty
fucking dope. I don't know what promotion this
was, but oh my god. It's like a Canadian Destroyer
crossbody type thing. He springboard off the
top. Play that again. Yeah, so, okay. So, Homeboy's
coming off the ropes. Fetching him to, like,
a crossbody. Kind of like a modified Canadian
Destroyer. It wasn't really a Canadian Destroyer.
It was a crucifix pin, and he just did it off
the top. Oh, yeah. And into, like, a bunch of
bodies on the outside. Pretty dope. Well, let
me just say play it again. Because the Homeboy
on the ropes looks a little bit, like, smiley
for a split second. I was like, was that Smiley?
It wouldn't honestly surprise me. No, with the
way with stuff that Smiley does. Yeah, no, I
wouldn't. Yeah. Last time he was on the podcast,
he's like, I just do shit. Then I'm like, yeah,
this is probably cool. It's like, I wonder if
I do this. This would be neat. This would be
neat. Can I pull this off? And all of a sudden
you're like, what? Oh, yeah. i've had it happen
matches more than once where i'm like i'm down
and i'm looking like what's going on oh they're
flying okay here we go all right so i uh i see
this new article and i cannot confirm if it's
100 completely true but this is the pro wrestling
news uh looks like it's from daily news and they
just basically cover like a bunch of and i saw
a few things on here that were actually pretty
interesting Um, so right down here says ESPN
removes a W from their category menu on their
website. Well, yeah, they just paid a bazillion
fricking dollars for WWE. Right. I understand
that, but still like, would that still like justify
you removing. It's just like Peacock. WWE on
Peacock doesn't mean that you delete other shit
that's on Peacock. There's a difference between
deleting other shit on Peacock and deleting the
other wrestling company on Peacock. That's why
you didn't see WWE programming on TBS back in
the day. Or WCW programming on USA. I guess that's
true. But I see also this that WWE ends PLE deal
with peacock oh i'm so mad about that this is
the move to espn effectively 920 which is you
know how much it's going to cost to watch wwe
now you need a netflix account you need basic
cable for smackdown and nxt for ple's you need
espn then you need espn plus it's going to cost
you around twelve hundred dollars a year now
wwe network was 9 .99 a month Well, I think the
issue is because this is a TKO thing. We've talked
about multiple times that TKO is bleeding money.
They're trying to do everything they can. No,
UFC is bleeding money. WWE is making money hand
over fucking fist right now. And let's go into
that for a split second. Sam shared something
with me the other day. It was front row, or not
even front row, it was floor seats. For the next
PLE, which is Wrestlepalooza or whatever it's
called. Yeah, it's like $8 ,200. We're going
to get into that. Six grand. Six freaking grand.
That's not the highest amount. The highest amount
is $8 ,200. Which is ridiculous. For one seat.
Who's got that type of money? If I'm going to
drop that type of money on a freaking event,
I'm going to the goddamn Super Bowl. So it's,
I'm thinking it's more like, exactly. Well, exactly
that. I think it's more of the, uh, Hey, we're
going to put these up high. Cause we know for
a fact that anyone who's buying this has fucking
money. So it's going to be some celebrity or
some guy that can, you know, it's not, it's not
going to be a guy who's going to bring their
kids. I get that. But WWE. So, okay. When McMahon
took over, when Vince took over from Vince senior,
It was old guys in the seats, chopping on the
cigars, going to break his leg. So, you know,
one of those shows. Grab a ticket, twist it.
That's at Gino's. As time went on, Vince Jr.
took over, and it became more family showing
up, wives showing up with their husbands. It
became family friendly because it was affordable.
Now, don't get me wrong. WrestleMania tickets
should not be cheap. It shouldn't be like $30.
It's WrestleMania. It's the biggest event of
the year. It should still be relatively expensive.
But it should not be, I don't know, $6 ,000 is
half the cost of my car. So it's ridiculous how
expensive this is getting now. Yeah, and I think
we even bitched about AEW doing the same thing
a while back. Yeah, it's not okay. Exactly what
you said. It was originally for families come
in, see wrestling. They don't do house shows
anymore. There's no way to get into that because
house shows are always usually cheap. You're
doing either a Monday night or Friday night or
you're doing a pay -per -view. the tickets are
like i'm assuming the lowest i think is like
a hundred dollars hell we were looking at um
uh bound for glory for tna and the cheapest tickets
are 82 bucks yeah and that's okay so that's that's
tna and tna is really if you're looking at the
promotionals in america right now they're number
three at probably at the most maybe maybe in
four depending what you're counting But still,
they're a major promotion. They have a world
championship. They're a major promotion. It's
ridiculous. Honestly, it's just asinine how much
tickets are costing nowadays. I can't afford
to go to any of these shows. If I went to one
of these shows, I'd be in seat ZZ1000 as far
up as I can go. I'd be watching it on my phone
on Peacock because I wouldn't be able to see
the ring. I'd be that guy. That's the thing too
because we're all planning on going to Bound
for Glory. We look at the tickets and it's like
$82. I really want to see the Hardys versus the
Dudley boys one last time. That would be awesome.
At least we get to see the Hardys. We did get
to see the Hardys, which is nice. um but yeah
it's like like oh i don't know it's so a conversation
i guess we gotta talk about if we're all gonna
do it because um sammy matthews is talking about
bringing his wife i'm assuming that you probably
want to bring your wife my wife uh asked about
possibly going so who knows like we're gonna
probably spend like At minimum, $500. I wish
I had $500 kicking around. Dude, we'd be in the
studio. We would not be doing this alone. We
would be doing this in a studio talking to each
other. We would not be doing this over and over
online. I know. Peacock tries to prevent the
surge of unsubscribing WWE fans by announcing
a new WWE multi -year deal. Uh, but we'll Saturday
night main events next NXT PLE till March to
the 2026. Now in 30 days of SmackDown episodes
will be enough. Nope. Nope. Nope. And I honestly
fucking hate Peacock anyways, cause I was sick
and tired of frigging ads every single time.
There's a promo. I paid the extra $3 and I, I
get, I know you did. I'm cheap, dude. I generally
am too. But like when it comes to stuff like
that, it's like, So Sam pays for most of the
streaming services. So a couple of the ones I
have, I just pay the full price for them. But
for all the other streaming services, we have
the ones with ads. Okay, Sylvie, you need to
go find a home. Not on your brother. So saying
John Cena's retirement match is rumored to take
place on Saturday night main event. That makes
sense. Yeah, I can see that. I was hoping to
get one more rumble in, but that makes sense,
I guess. Killer Cross, first match in opponents
since leaving WWE revealed, which I have not
looked into. I'm really hoping Limitless might
have reached out. I saw it's not Limitless. It's
GCW? Oh, no. It's an independent promotion. I
can't remember which one. But yeah, I saw the...
Deadlock? Oh, I don't remember. I'm just trying
to think of the bigger ones. I know there's Limitless,
Chaotic. I think it might even be in the Northeast,
but I could be wrong. Beyond, WrestleOpen, Deadlock,
GCW. That's the ones I can think of. MLW? No,
it's nothing affiliated with WWE. Is MLW affiliated
with WWE? yeah they used to be i don't know if
they yeah they used to be i don't know if they
yeah they used to be i don't know if they still
are still are still are oh they're not knowing
that uh carrying oh they're not knowing that
uh carrying oh they're not knowing that uh carrying
cross see let's see what there is cross see let's
see what there is cross see let's see what there
is um how's the glory how's the glory um how's
the glory um how's the glory how's the glory
okay hog it's the one that um okay hog it's the
one that um okay hog it's the one that um that's
the one that's uh that's the one that's uh that's
the one with the ray dudley just won the that's
the one with the ray dudley just won the heavyweight
title for yes heavyweight title for yes heavyweight
title for yes yep yep yep which i thought was
tna which was I was like, how the fuck is Ricochet
on TNA right now? To be fair, Bubba's won the
TNA championship. I stopped watching just because
my work schedule and everything going down. I
was watching TNA in 2016, I think it was a year.
It's all aces and eights and all that stuff.
Dude, I'm thinking we do either Every other Friday
and maybe even Tuesday. I know we're supposed
to be doing gaming, but I'd like to cover a promotion,
whatever it is, WCW, TNA, WWE, and just pick
the worst fucking shows and just talk about it.
Oh, WCW Sin or Greed? So, WCW in their last year,
they've led a lot of good talent. Oh, yeah. And
they're continuing on. But, man, a couple of
their last pay -per -views were just so bad.
If you want to watch some good stuff, watch Brian
Zane, Wrestling With Regret. He does a couple
covers because he does pay -per -view reviews.
And then he'll go through and be like, yeah,
so that match happened. Well, not to try to steal
ideas, but stealing ideas. I got it from the...
I think it's called Deadlock. Is it the Deadlock?
Deadlock podcast? The one that does the wrestling
promotion. TPW. Okay. I don't know. To be fair.
MSP wrestled for them. I might have been deadlocked
then, yeah. They do a podcast. I was listening
to it with JP. uh because that's what they how
they started they started off with a podcast
and twitch and made enough money from them to
open up their own wrestling promotion so we're
talking about wrestling stuff uh random side
question do you have your passport no yeah okay
passports mean nothing anyways now with the uh
with the real ids okay do you have your real
id no well then why the hell did you bring it
up but i mean passports don't mean anything because
i don't care neither of these things actually
count if you don't have either of them i have
my actual idea why because i was thinking of
maybe you me and jay tizzle pack up a car and
go up to freaking um wesley pipes promotion over
in st john one weekend if we can come back across
the border yeah i'd love to we're american citizens
we should be able to We should be able to. Yes.
Unless one of you guys have committed a crime
you're not speaking of. Dude, that'd be a good
way to find out that you committed a crime that
you don't know about. We're deporting you. To
where? I'm American. What are you going to do?
Send me back to France? Who was it? Somebody
had a DUI or something like that that was like
12 or so years old and they wouldn't let him
cross. It was the homeboy from Vermont. He was
a Canadian citizen who had his American papers.
that's what it was but from like 12 years ago
seriously yeah my dad has a dui from 1974 and
they won't let him into canada still so wow there
you go i've got no dais because i'm smart and
don't get caught um so aw forbidden door uh don't
drink and drive kids i was just kidding um uh
aw forbidden door and nxt heat wave to 2022 preview
preview predictions i know uh aw um All Out and
WWE. What the hell it's called? It's WrestlePalooza
or whatever it's called. They're running the
same night. There's a fun story about WrestlePalooza
name too. What's that? NXT. NCW down in Massachusetts
used to run a show every year called WrestlePalooza.
Now they were like, we don't own the name. It's
just one of those names that we're independent.
We call it WrestlePalooza, right? Cool. There's
another promotion. I think it was at Minnesota
or somewhere, but Midwest. They apparently sent
NCW a cease and desist letter saying, you can't
use the word Russell Palooza. That's our thing.
We've been using it for years. Blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah. JC's like, uh, get Ben's. So I'm
still waiting for a cease and desist for big
cat. You know how many fucking people use big
cat? Yeah. I think even Barstools has a guy named
Big Cat on it. Well, it's a nickname. It's not
like Big Cat, same name as the dude from Barstools.
Well, that's why I do Big Cat Tyler Adams. So
that way, if somebody does do that, I'm like,
ah, you forgot the rest of it. Still waiting
for Dunkey to get a cease and desist. Dude, how
he's not got one yet, I'm surprised. I'm surprised
he hasn't even asked, though. I looked it up
and I told him he could get sponsored by Dunkin'
Donuts. It's like I want to shine down if it's
cool if we use their song. They probably wouldn't
give a fuck and it's like a lot of people don't
cuz it's like it's it's free promotion Yeah,
that's why I like when Randy lets us watch the
matches and shit doesn't copyright strike him
cuz he's like no It's free promotion. Why would
I do that? I think it's dumb for people to do
that, too It's like you want people to see your
shit. Let people review it. Well, Osprey has
a neck injury So, um, yeah I see that on this
list, too. It says Tony Khan believes that the
Young Bucks are currently having the greatest
run of their career. No, they are not. Yeah,
the greatest run because they're running the
company and making sure that they fucking do
everything that they want. Did you see, actually,
someone... It was the Young Bucks versus the...
Whatever the hell, freaking Roddy Strong and
Kyle O 'Reilly. I don't watch AEW at all. Okay,
so it's them two versus... It's the Bucks versus
O 'Reilly and Fonda. I had to stop watching because
it was the same shit every fucking week. The
poster looks like something like a really bad
indie poster. So you got the two guys. Undisputed
error. You got them, right? Professional looking
photos. You could tell there was work put onto
that side of the poster. Then the Bucks look
like two photos cut off their Facebook page.
It was so funny. What was it called? What was
it? Young Bucks versus what? Roderick Strong
and Kyle O 'Reilly. No. I'm going to have to
look this up. Roderick. Oh, that was Kyle's name.
Someone in the comments will probably be like,
is this Kyle? Is it this one you're talking about?
The one from Collision? Yeah, that might be it.
Yeah. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah.
It looks like this. Yeah. It looks like something
fricking, um, like someone threw together and
like MS paint. Yeah. It looked like there's like
last second. They're like, uh, Aragon is what
they're called. Yeah. That one. What is this?
I've seen better indie indie posters. Dude, look,
this, this has to be a joke. It is. It's because
they're the, I'm surprised they even call them
the young bucks. and not like talent like local
talent or something because they've been messing
with them hardcore do you see that they're like
it's not even photoshopped correctly it's just
like yeah he took like a race that's the joke
okay yeah the joke the joke is they don't care
about the bucks they're just there and they're
basically making fun of them in every way shape
or form that's funny did they do some kind of
video or something like that music they changed
their music They came out. Well, they came out
to like no music and they came out and they got
in the, in their local, their, uh, bottom third
graphics that just said, um, insert talent name
here or something like that. Talent name. That's
like, that's actually pretty fucking funny. Uh,
like what the hell's going on? And they came
out once to, um, they're called, uh, so when
they're generation me, uh, they were, uh, Matt
Buck and Nick Buck or something like that. No,
it wasn't Matt Nick. It was. Oh, Tyler. No. What
was Tyler Buck and the other? I can't remember
their generation. But that's what they got. That's
what they get announced as. This is correct.
And what I'm reading, this is sucks. AEW adds
injury time to Dan Hasson contract, which now
extends to early 2026. I've seen that. Dan has
been trying to get out of there because they're
not using him for anything. Like he's like, they're
not using over half the fucking roster. I've
said it time and time again. I can't say, I can't
keep stressing that where if you got 300 people
in the roster and you're using 50, maybe cut
a hundred, you know? Yeah. Like, like when WWE
does their cuts, I wouldn't be surprised when
AEW does their cuts. There's just going to be
like, it's like a hundred people. Someone posted
the other day. So someone said something about
either beast Mordos or Mercedes Monet. Cause
they're together. And Beast is like, you know,
shut up. What are you doing? Blah, blah, blah.
And the guy's like, you know, and he's like,
Beast is like, yeah, we get to live our dreams.
And the guy's like, dude, you're in catering
every week. He's like, yeah, but I get a big
fat paycheck. Like, I'm sorry. You know how much
I get paid for wrestling? Not a whole hell of
a lot. I do it because I love wrestling. Because
we're not tough guys. Yeah. You know, I'm not
going to go in and sit in catering every week
and watch someone else wrestle. It would drive
me. up a wall yeah you know so it's like that
would that would irritate the piss out of me
too and i mean at least he's showing up yeah
i mean i guess but still no tony flies all these
tony's flying 300 people to a show where he uses
like i said he uses 50 if no i'm not everybody
shows up i'm just guaranteeing okay let's say
he's got 300 of the roster right cool all right
let's say he flies 100 to the show and then he
uses 20. You don't need an extra 60 people there.
You need an extra friend. Well, when the Young
Bucks is running it, they're going to just book
their friends on the show. Yeah, and that was
part of the problem. Well, you think Punk shut
the fuck up of who he was hanging around with.
Yep. For that reason. But speaking of leaving
and stuff, so this came out. I don't know. How
true this is, because there's been reports saying
that this isn't true, but there was rumors going
around that an AEW star that is a former WWE
champion is going to leave AEW and come back
to WWE. Now, everybody was speculating who could
it be. They threw out some names, Edge, Jon Moxley,
which would be... amazing actually to see John
Moxley come back and actually be used in a position
that people are telling him, hey, stupid. It'd
be amazing to see John Moxley not in control
of his own destiny and actually have to be produced.
Because this shit is good when it's produced.
Exactly. Not him going, yeah, I'm going to drink
bones and eat blood. A Team U version of Nick
Cage. Then I'm going to go out and Rocky IV.
I love Dean Ambrose's fucking style in WWE. AEW
is just so bad. It's just so bad. Then it finally
came out that it was actually Chris Jericho,
which I could understand because I don't think
Chris is being used a lot. Got your ringer off.
Dude, I literally just did, and it's still ringing.
I just hear ding, ding, ding. Yeah, it's annoying.
I don't know why it keeps doing that. It literally
says silent, and even though it's saying silent,
it's still going off. But now it's coming out
as Chris Jericho. Oh, also, too, they're thinking
it was going to be Daniel Garcia. But Daniel
Garcia has never been in WWE. No, he's never
been in WWE. Well, technically, he was supposed
to. Was he? Yes. Oh, okay. You didn't ever hear
the story that he told on Jericho's podcast?
No, I somehow missed that. Don't pull up the
whole clip. Just explain it quick. What? Don't
pull up the whole clip. Just explain it. No,
no, I am. I'm not going to look into it. Just
believe what I'm saying. He was in... the process
of being signed, basically. He did tryouts. They
loved him. He was talking, whatever. Was it Bruce
Pritchard or Kevin Dunn? One of them. They said
something about him getting signed. He said,
yeah, that's great because I got some other offers
on the table. and he believes that they took
offense to that because he said that Triple H
and Shawn wanted him to sign. Yeah. And then
come to find out, I think it was like a week
later, didn't hear anything back, and then he
got a letter basically saying, thank you, but
no thank you. Oh, great. So he went to AEW. I
can see old Bucky Beaver. Yeah, so you got another
offer. It's not going to work for us. Yeah. Sorry
that you want to make sure you're signed by a
company, that your offers are out there. But
yeah, no. Daniel Garcia is a great talent. I
wish he would be in WWE. I make fun of Kevin
Dunn. I've never met the man, so I just know
what I know from Jim Cornette. Who knows how
true it is, but knowing Cornette, it's probably
pretty true. Cornette doesn't embellish much,
but he does basically know how to stab things
correctly. Right. So, yeah, Chris Jericho. That
Bucky Bieber motherfucker. Sorry. He made him
cry. This man started crying in front of me.
I was like, what the fuck? You could fix your
teeth. and you choose not to. You make millions
of dollars, and you can fix them. Oh, my God.
That is one of the best. If you guys, honestly,
God, if you listen to Cornette's podcasts, they're
great, but some of his old shoot interviews that
you can find on YouTube are hilarious because
that was at the time he wasn't trying to make
money. He was just going. He had a lot of shit
to get off his chest, and he was doing that.
By the way, didn't Chris Jericho send a 10 -year
deal to the AEW? No, I suppose. great cat's dying
um hi welcome to the nautical nightmare podcast
yeah sorry supposedly his deal ends in december
no dude he signed like a 10 -year deal supposedly
like he was like 15 57 or something like that
he probably signed a 10 -year deal in 2019 or
a five -year day on 2019 or whatever i guess
um but yeah yeah he's apparently his contract
ends in december so there's jesus They're debating
that he's probably going to finish out his career
in WWE. However, this is... I'm saying, please,
for the love of God, I don't hate Break the Walls
Down, but if he's going back, let him have...
Yeah. Oh, yeah. 100%. It's his song. I mean,
it's like... We need the rights. Yeah, here you
go. All right, you're good. The problem I get
from this posting is which I'm starting to see
more and more people removing the even mention
of this is that apparently when asked AEW stars
and Jericho himself, he said this isn't happening.
Well, yeah, because Jericho has never been known
to lie. Right. I mean, it could be it could be
a work 100%. This is what bothers me. There's
one person that reports in it and everybody takes
it as gospel. They run with it, not checking
the person who reported it. More than likely,
the person that did do the journalism asked one
person and is running with it. For those who
don't know who I'm talking about, I'm talking
about Dave Meltzer. Dear God. Speaking of Jericho,
I'm actually looking. I just happened to click
on a link here. It's the AEW Forbidden Door matches.
It's the betting odds, but I'm looking just at
the matches. I'm going to go through these really
quick just because I have ADHD tonight. For the
World Championship match, is it Paige versus
MJF? We've seen this before. Okay, that's a match.
That's not going to be that bad. Lights out steel
cage match. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 people
in this match. Will Ospreay, Darby Allin, Kenny
Omega, Cody Boucher, and Tanahashi versus Jon
Moxley, Claudio, Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks.
Uh -huh. That's a lot of people in a very small
cage. Then you got Okada versus Swerve Strickland.
I thought the Blackpool Club hated fucking the
box. Yeah, that's the storyline that was going
on forever today, but apparently we've forgotten
that. Then you got Okada versus Swerve Strickland.
Okada needs to go back to Japan. I love Okada
in Japan. Tony Storm versus Athena. By the way,
speaking of this, the golden The Golden Casino
Poker Chip. It's like they're cashing Money in
the Bank, right? Athena and MJF will turn theirs
in. One of them is walking out with a new belt,
and I think it's going to be Athena. Then you
got Edge and Christian versus Kip Sabian and
Luchasaurus. Kyle Fletcher versus Himaru Takahashi.
Try saying that five times fast. Takashi. Oh,
okay. This match, I'm kind of excited for. I
actually want to watch this. Zack Sabre Jr. versus
Nigel McGuinness. That's the only match I'd be
looking forward to. And then Mercedes Monet versus
Persephone versus Alex Windsor versus Bozilla.
You know who any of those people are? No, and
hot take for... Samuel Matthews hot take. Mercedes
Monet, I think, is way overhyped. Mercedes Monet
has made... Someone said this. One of my friends
said this on Facebook. They're like, okay, she
has eight titles, and they're like, when are
you defending all those? When do you have time
to defend all those? She just won a ninth belt.
Who the hell is she? Freaking Ultimo Dragon?
But at least when Dragon won all his belts, it
was one technical championship. Because it was
the Super J Cup, which had nine belts in it,
and he won them all at once. Mercedes Monet has
nine different belts from nine different promotions.
I'm sorry. I don't have enough time in my life
to defend all those titles. I have one title
I have a hard time defending, mostly because
I don't get booked to defend it. But I'm just
saying, you know, imagine having to defend nine
of them. That's insanity. It's probably just
more like the, you know, the hot ticket thing.
It's like, hey, look, we're going to put our
belt on this wrestler who is, you know, shows,
like, look at how many belts she has. You know,
it's more of a, like, oh, look, our belt's on
this person in her collection, whatever. Yeah,
it's insane. I mean, she's a good wrestler. She's
really good. She's a good worker. But she's way
over fucking height. It's garbage. I hate her
finish. I want NXT Mercedes back. I want NXT
Sasha Banks back. Well, that's what I mean. Sasha
Banks from NXT. I just rewatched the Bayley versus
Sasha Banks. Oh, my God. Bayley's another one,
man. She should be on a tear right now. Don't
get me wrong. I love Mia Rhea Ripley and Stephanie
Vicar. They're probably my two favorite women's
wrestlers on the planet right now. But Bailey's
so damn good in the ring. She needs a run. For
how talented Rhea is, I think she needs to step
away a little bit just because I think she's
being way overbooked. And that star power is
starting to go down, but I understand why they're
doing it. I was going to say, she's one of the
most over people in the company. Right. She's
up there with Cody, how over she is. Yeah. Hell,
she's up there with Sina. John Cena. John Cena.
John Cena. Look at the big mouth, John Cena.
Yeah, it's crazy. There's so much talent that
WWE has that I just wish they would give them
the opportunity to go with it. See, WWE is a
little bit better at it because if you start
getting yourself over, especially with Triple
H running the show now. Apparently that would
kill a cross. Well, not always. But again, you...
Triple H will do some stuff, but then you have...
Unless it's a walk. Unless it's a work, which
it could be. In fact, if I was Triple H, I would
let him go work indie shows to make it look even
more like work. 100%. You know, I don't know.
At least with WWE, especially like I said, at
least now, it's a little bit better where you
can get yourself over. I'm like, but Vince, he's
like, nah, pal, you know, the golden, golden
ring and golden egg and poop on my head. Vince
is going to find this one day, just randomly
watching YouTube. Like, cause he's going to be
like. drunk, making it a bad thug with hookers
everywhere. He's like, let's see if my name's
on YouTube. Vince McMahon. Ah, who's this guy?
I'm either going to buy him or bury him. Vince
comes up, I'll give you $100 ,000 and never say
my name again. Sold. Right. So, Chintz Tictan.
So, I went on a little tear last night because
I was irritated. Oh, boy. Because last week,
the last week's scenario with Tony Atlas got
underneath my skin. Oh, my God, dude, let it
go. No, I'm just saying because I hate the journalism
now and everything. Dude, it's Dave Meltzer.
Meltzer doesn't know what he's talking about.
Well, that's the thing. That's what I wanted
to get into. That's what I wanted to talk about.
Because Dave Meltzer used to be the guy that
you knew who he was talking about. He was the
guy that he was basically his word was gospel.
Yeah, at one point in time. Then he went up to
the Young Bucks and drank the Kool -Aid. He owns
part of the company. Yeah, 100 % of why he has
shit talk to them. Yeah, I know. And people wonder
that. It was like, why is he doing this? Why
is he giving so high ratings to all these fucking
matches and stuff that don't deserve it? It's
because he owns part of the company. That's why.
Yep. I'm going to give it eight and a half stars.
Dude, all they did is slap each other. Oh, slap
each other? Twelve and a half stars. Because
this is the Tokyo Dome. Let's see. I got points
written down right here to go over. So, yeah,
Dave, he started in, if I remember correctly,
1980. He started in 83, I believe, was when he
made the Wrestling Illustrator. What the fuck
it's called? I got it written down. Wrestling
Observer? Wrestling Observer, yes. Thank you.
Pro Wrestling Illustrated is something else.
And, again, he was... What he did was so detailed
and his opinion mattered so much that it got
people booked and signed with companies because
that's what they wanted him. The rating system
that he gave people mattered so much because
it meant that you can get eyes on you or people
would leave you the fuck alone. But now you...
Go ahead. I'd be in the leave them the fuck alone
category. Oh, shut the fuck up. You've had some
good matches. Two and a half stars. But now...
Three and a half stars. But now because of his
bias and I don't know if it's because it's one
of those scenarios that he's been doing it so
long that like Vince at one point and just like,
okay, buddy, I think it's time for you to step
away and stop talking about this shit. He's just
gotten lazier not lazy i was like he's either
came up with stuff himself and then deny it and
then it goes away or uh crucifix uh um or um
i feel like shock's just catching up yeah right
right or uh you know it just ruins like i feel
like it like kind of ruins his reputation yeah
but at this point he's made he's made so much
money and he's like he's just like dude i've
listened to him talk and i'm just like what is
he going on about it's almost like vince russo
at this point where russo just says the most
random off the wall shit and he's like but i'm
right bro no that didn't make a fucking sense
right not right you know exactly and like again
like i'm saying like didn't like the stars was
so important like i think he only gave if i remember
correctly what i was reading It was like less
than 10 five stars matches in years. Yeah. You
had to have a flawless match and CM Punk and
Samoa Joe got two of the five star. And now it's
like every other fucking weekend. It's five stars,
six stars. Kurt Angle has zero five star matches.
Right, which is crazy. Kurt Angle and Crispin
Wall matches were insane. Eddie Guerrero versus
Kurt Angle were insane. Ric Flair has zero five
-star matches. Let me look at this up. I didn't
look up this part. I wonder who has five -star
matches. Kenny Omega, I think, has the most.
Well, no shit, because now it's tainted. Yeah.
Ow. It's like, because everybody has five stars,
basically, in AEW. It's like, whoever that he
likes, Young Bucks or Kenny Omega or whatever,
they get a five -star every fucking pay -per
-view. Apparently, actually, it's William. Oh,
I lied. Ric Flair has at least six five -star
matches. Because I was about to say, if Ric Flair
and Ricky Steamboat did not get a five -star
rating, something is wrong somewhere. Because
that match is the match that professional wrestlers
talk about. That's one of those matches that
the best of the best talk about. They went a
full six minutes without even really locking
up. So it's one of those matches that's fantastic.
Oh, it's crazy to like talk about VLC again,
like the Hardys and they didn't even lock up
and the fans were fucking losing their shit.
They didn't lock up for the first five minutes,
if not longer. So yeah, so 1980s. Okay, so I
was wrong. They have quite a bit of five star,
but it was still really rare. Ric Flair versus
Botch Reed. Butch Reed. Five -star. Dynamite
Kid versus Tiger Mask. Yeah, not surprised. Yeah,
those are fantastic matches. Bruiser Brody and
Stane Hanson versus Dory Funk. Stan? Stan, whatever.
Dory Funk Jr. and Terry Funk. Stan. Okay, you
know I am terrible at this. There's a reason
why I have no acting career because I can't read
a goddamn script. Script. Script. Or fucking
say my words correctly. Hooked on phonics for
me. And we're canceled. Ric Flair versus Ricky
Steamboat. Yeah, that match. Please tell me you've
seen that match. Yes, it was a good match. Okay,
thank God. Yes, I've seen a bunch of WWE. I don't
remember it off my head, but once I started watching
it, I'd be like, oh, yeah, I remember this shit.
You haven't seen Ricky Steamboat versus Ric Flair.
It's like the pinnacle of professional wrestling.
Yeah, and then we get to the 2010s and beyond,
and it's five -star, five -star, five -star,
five -star. Yeah. James Harrison. Young Bucks.
John Moxley, Adam Cole, Kenny Omega. Apparently,
William Osprey has the most rated stars. Oh,
Will Osprey, really? I thought it was Kenny Omega.
I mean, Will Osprey, Will's one of those guys,
I like his matches. 48. He's another one of those
guys that nothing breathes. He has 48 five -star
matches. Yeah, yeah. And Ric Flair has like six.
Yeah. Yeah, crazy. Yeah. Yeah. But I pulled up
some of his stuff that he likes to say because,
like I said, the problem is the journalism that
I have issue with, the biggest one, is that he'll
claim something, he'll get one source. and then
it's disputed and then either he deletes it and
says it never happened or never brings it up
again brings it up to flex yeah and that that
he was actually right he's like no i mean like
this and then or he's gonna lock behind the paywall
right or lock it behind the paywall he'll or
he'll write it in the uh in his forms that talk
about in the forums bitch about people there
was one i can't i couldn't remember i couldn't
find it he was talking about somebody some wrestler
that died or something like that and the guy's
like no i'm still alive um but here's some of
his sorry really quick this reminded me uh paul
hayman posted like really miss you tommy brother
uh rest in peace and time is like paul paul i'm
still alive but i miss you too brother Yeah,
exactly. Didn't somebody... Didn't... Was it
Bam Margera posted something to Hulk? Because
Hulk posted something to him thinking that he
was actually dead, but he wasn't. But Bam did
something back to him, but in a nice way. He
wasn't making fun of him or anything like that.
Maybe? Yeah, I can't remember. But anyways. So
here's some of the stories that I pulled. I didn't
pull all of them, but these are the ones I can
get information from. So first one was the Hardys
has signed ROH deals, but then they win the Raw
Tag Team titles the next day. So Dave Mounsler
stated on Wrestling Observer Radio that word
is that the long -term deal and they... The word
is that they have a long -term deal, and they
signed with ROH for the near future, although
exact length of the deal is not known. They're
not going to WWE anytime soon. I don't know the
length of their ROH deal, but it's not a two
-month deal, Meltzer said. They are in ROH. The
Hardys instead is signed with WWE shortly after
the surprise return to ROH in 2017, winning for
all tag team titles the following day. Yeah,
that wasn't that 2017. Wasn't that the big, like,
welcome back at WrestleMania too? Yeah. Yeah.
Where it's like, you know, the new day is like,
who shall be? And everyone thought it was the
new day. And all of a sudden, you know, Hardys
music starts playing. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Vince
McMahon bribed the Florida government to lift
pro wrestling to list pro wrestling as essential
during the pandemic. I'll be fair with this one.
I think that's true. Because... Yeah... It's
not. Dude, what was the only thing running during
the pandemic? Wrestling. So I think it was partially
true. It might not be fully true. Florida was...
This is what I have written down. I mean, Florida's
fucking Florida to begin with. Exactly. I wouldn't
go to Florida if you paid me, but... Dave Meltzer
of the Wrestling Zero noted that the weekend
in his members -only audio that the WWE had concerns
about the television contracts with NBC and Fox,
which called for a minimum of 49 live episodes.
every year due to uh to this vince had to bribe
the florida government to make the wwe an essential
business um allowing them to wrestle and do those
49 live episodes in reality yes florida did shut
down all non -essential businesses but quickly
reopened the state months later yeah so yeah
i was i was working for um I was working for
my old company back then, and one of the things
we were doing is I was doing hotel reservations.
And it was literally like, yeah, I'd love to
book a week in Jupiter. I'm like, cool. That's
where COVID outbreak just happened. I want to
book a week here. Cool. COVID outbreak just happened
there. All right. You do you, though. Have fun.
You know what I love? I hate talking about this
shit. because i really hated the pandemic area
but i thought it was hilarious i know i know
i know everybody did but it's i don't like to
think about it even though that's when i started
wrestling and shit like that just because of
just how sad everything was especially for loved
ones for people who didn't get to you know spend
time with family and shit like that um how we
were so it was so bad in maine that we had to
have emergency funds or whatever the fuck it
was. The state was locked down. Nobody can come
in. We had an emergency shutdown. No one came
in. Everyone came to Maine. Except for 4th of
July and everything. 4th of July, Memorial Day
and everything like that. Then we were open to
business. I went right through all that. I was
working at the Whale Watch. So I'm not going
to get into it. But yeah, no, it's... What made
me sad is my first match happened at Let's Wrestle
at the Limitless Rumble in January that year.
My birthday was in February. And I just, I think
I'd wrestled three matches at that point. And
I'm like, cool. Let's really get it going this
year. It'll be really cool. It was like, blah,
blah, blah. And literally, we were at Limitless
because we were at Limitless on my birthday.
And then before the next limitless show happened,
everything was shut down. Yep. So I was like,
yeah, this is great. My son was born the day
that the shutdowns were beginning. Yeah. Like
every hour at the hospital. I remember just being
like this stupid beer flu. And then it became
serious. And I was like, okay, I guess I can't
make fun of it anymore. Right. But no, it was
crazy. Cause it went from, Everybody's in. To,
okay, only X amount of people in. To, okay, nobody's
in. Like every hour. Except for the husbands.
Let's left turn this before we get too political
and shit. Yeah. Anyways. The Miz will be out
for nine months because of injury. This says
it was an angle. I don't know. I can't remember
if it was an angle. Wasn't that when he was filming
the Marine? Well, this report said in May 2021
from Dave Meltzer indicated that The Miz could
be out for up to nine months due to an ACL tear
he sustained at WrestleMania Backlash. However,
the nine -month timeline was incorrect and he
returned to WWE action much sooner. Yeah, I think
he was filming a movie or TV show at the time.
Yeah, he literally just said the Miz response
in June 2021 interview with Sports Illustrated.
The Miz confirmed that he was injured but cleared
the nine -month timeline was wrong. He stated
that he was not going to be out for nine months
and instead was rehabbing to make a quick return.
He returned to the WWE program just a few months
later. Adam Cole is manager. Do you remember
this one? Yes, this is actually true though.
No, it's not. No, it's been actually correlated.
Adam Cole's come out and said it's true. Adam
Cole literally just said that it was not true.
Adam Cole said it was true. Not from the tweet.
Well, yeah, I remember hearing it was true. Okay,
well, this is what I have for the new information
that I got. According to Dave Meltzer, latest
wrestling observer, whatever year this was. Oh,
fuck you, Levi Spade. Why? I wanted to say it.
Mostly because he just posted on a post I just
posted on Facebook that he's like, that's not
real. I don't believe you, so it must be real.
And I was like, fuck you, Levi. It was the pink
lobster with the claws in the wrong spot. And
I'm like, this is obviously AI. And so... Because
lobsters don't come in pink! Maybe. No. There's
no maybe. They don't. You never know. Nature
is weird, bro. They don't come in pink. Maybe
one day somebody will pull up a pink one row.
They don't come in pink. I understand you. But
like I said, nature is weird. Like there's been
weird fucking colors for different animals that
you wouldn't expect. I know. And trust me, I
get it. I've studied. Hello. You're talking to
a damn zoologist. I get it. They don't come in
pink. I saw an albino catfish like a fucking
month ago on TikTok. Yes, that happens. They
have a lack of melon in their scales. That can
happen. Generally, pink is not one of those colors
that happens in nature unless you're like a flamingo.
The reason flamingos turn pink is because they're
eating brine shrimp. Then explain the half red,
half blue lobsters. Oh, that's easy. They're
called half and half. Generally, they're basically
chimera. They're two eggs that get stuck together.
And by the way, red is not their natural color
either. Red is not their natural color either.
Very, very rare would they be red as an adult.
They become red because when you boil them, you
actually boil the color of their shell, which
is an enzyme they put into their shells at about
their sixth molt. So what color are they? Generally,
they start life as red, but their natural colors
are generally brown and orange. Okay. Man. Dude,
I spent five years talking about them. Bing,
bing, bing. The more you know. People tuning
in are like, I thought this was a wrestling podcast.
We're talking about Lobster. Cole was planning
to be a manager for full -time wrestler and not
a full -time wrestler. Ringside News first reported
the same plan for Cole. Nothing that he would
be a heel manager in WWE. but said their source
did not mention or specify what he was doing.
Now Meltzer reports that the plan was to turn
Keith Lee heel. Adam Cole was to be his manager.
Meltzer stated that he had conflicting reports
as to whose idea it was, nothing that he was
told. It was not from a creative, not from creative.
Probably Vince. But the source told him it was
Bruce Prichard, while another said it was Vince
McMahon's call. Yeah, it was probably Vince.
I can see this 100 % being Vince. Hey, he's too
small to be a wrestler. I don't carry Shawn Michaels.
This tweet states that Adam Cole confirmed to
TV Insider that he did not heard the plans to
become a manager from Vince McMahon. Several
talent I talked to also haven't heard of it.
and said that there were other pitches and ideas.
This one isn't really that important. It was
just talking about basically the heat between
Brock Lesnar and Nia Jax, just stating that their
heat maintained mostly with other wrestlers,
not with the company. Oh, yeah. People just being
mad at each other. Like, I'm mad at you. I'm
mad at you, too. Right, exactly. So this one
is... I don't know if I believe this one, just
because of Jim Cornette, who also kind of stated
this to be true. Vince Russo is the reason TNA
lost its TV deal. Huh. Oh, Vince Russo? Yeah,
I can absolutely see that. The story is often
passed around is that Spike dropped Impact because
they were misled that Vince Russo was no longer
working with the company when he actually was
working there. Yeah, because Dixie didn't fire
him. Dixie had him on payroll still, and she
was still taking ideas from him. I've heard this,
actually. So Dave Mounce has also stated this
fact. Since I broke that Russo was secretly working
with the company, another version that floats
around is that I... caused the cancellation via
my reporting the reality is that and i hate to
defend russo since he uh has out and out lied
about me in the past russo had no bearing uh
on spike dropping the company this is the person
who's writing the article sorry if you're that
was a little bit confusing that's um when it
came to uh time to uh renegotiate a deal spike
wanted to pay more money for dixie uh wanted
to pay more money and dixie carter insisted on
uh raise its right fees uh one source has told
me she was seeking a 26 million dollar deal spike
refused wanting a lesser deal i heard it was
between 14 and 16 million and carter refused
and held fast Spike then opted to drop the series,
although Carter, realizing she lost the gold
mine, tried to strike a new deal with Spike all
the way to the end. Yeah. Maybe if you have a
deal and you're like, okay, I want $26 million.
They're like, no, we'll give you $18 million.
Maybe come back with a counteroffer. I'd be like,
okay, how about $21 million? And when they say
it, they're like, yeah, or like $22 million.
They're like, okay, we'll give you $20. Awesome.
And then you're still on TV making money. No,
fuck you. I want 26 million. And then you're
still on TV. And guess what? You're getting this
thing called ad revenue where Domino's is giving
you $100 ,000 a year to go here and eat our pizza.
Make sure you don't have a guy. blaming someone
blading someone with a pizza cutter during the
commercial that's so so funny the blame falls
on dixie carter handling the situation based
on multiple sources i've spoken to over the years
anything else was um not true so it was not actually
dixie dixie takes a lot of blame for tna actually
she oh my god screwed that up horribly oh because
she wanted to be okay tony is in the same position
vince and she and like a lot of these people
don't realize that how often do you see randy
on camera for limitless uh very rare rare what
once maybe once every year if that's it's usually
him getting up with a mic to announce something
he's not even in the or getting involved with
a match but like you listen motherfucker we're
not doing it this way You don't have Randy out
there every match talking about something. Dixie
was one of those that she wanted to be on camera,
which is fine, but you're the owner of the company.
Also, you can be on camera. I mean, you can be
on camera, but the point is it didn't work for
her. She's not Vince McMahon. She didn't have
that charisma. Right. Exactly. So you're silly.
So I just got a bunch more of this right here
that I could not find the articles to prove it
right or wrong. But this person writes, so don't
take this with a grain of salt. This might not
be true. Vince is always changing plans, but
Meltzer gets shit on the reporting it. Leslie
versus Lesnar at SummerSlam. These are the things
that these... Lashley, sorry. Punk returns 2014.
Yes, Vince changed his mind on that. I don't
think he actually had a deal for 2014. I think
he said, fuck this, I'm gone. I think it was
until 2017. He said 17 or 18, something like
that. I don't know either. They have Undertaker
versus Strowman? Strowman? Strowman? Dude, I'm
sorry. Braun Strowman. Braun Strowman. WrestleMania
32. Braun Strowman versus Wyatt at WrestleMania
32. Cena versus The Undertaker at WrestleMania
32. Didn't that happen? Cena versus what? Undertaker.
Yeah, that did happen. That one didn't happen.
No Raw tag title match at WrestleMania 34. Daniel
Bryan never getting a big push after refusing
to work Saudi Arabia. That actually happened.
I mean, not happened. He became champion, I think,
right soon afterwards. AJ Styles in the Raw draft
of 2017. Nia Jax and Brock Lesnar both having
backstage heat. You know, this just goes on Cena
at SummerSlam, which would have been a nice Styles
and Cena. I'm just trying to give out the point
that maybe you shouldn't rely on somebody who
has a track record of being fucking wrong. Maybe
you should do some journalism yourself. Just
saying. Dave is Dave at this point. He's one
of those... God damn, I keep tilting my camera.
I apologize. I'm on my table. I keep rocking
it by accident. Dave's Dave at this point and
a lot of folks take him with a complete grain
of salt because a lot of the stuff he reports
you're just kind of like UK like if Chris Van
Vliet comes out and goes hey this is something
or not Chris Van Vliet but who's the other guy
that really Ariel Hawane not Hawane he's the
guy Sean Ross Sapp that's what I was trying to
think of Sean Ross Sapp generally comes out and
goes hey this is Sean Ross Sapp I heard Edge
is coming back to WWE. I'm going to be like,
oh, shit, when's this happening? He's usually
legit. But if Dave Meltzer comes out and goes,
I hear Undertaker's going to AEW, I'm going to
be like, probably not. Exactly. And that's what
bothers me the most is that these fucking guys,
all these sites do it. All these wrestling sites
go, this person's coming back. According to Dave
Meltzer, this person's like, Why don't you do
your own fucking investigation? Don't rely on
Dave. Because more than likely he's wrong. Especially
now. It's a different story if this was 30 years
ago. Where you could trust everything. He literally
wasn't wrong with almost anything. This was also
before the internet too. Which made a difference.
So it's like... It's... It's just annoying and
I know that I know we've been bringing up Jim
Cornette a lot in this fucking podcast But he
has like personal stories Double bacon motherfucker
The Dairy Queen fucking drive -thru thing was
hilarious Do some banter I'll be right back banter
So I don't know I don't know talk about Why is
he letting me do this by myself? I don't know
what he's talking about. No, seriously. It's
like, I'm going to go back to TNA for a minute,
man. What's really sad is watching TNA and watching,
like, they had a lot of good stuff. And then,
like I said, Dixie took over and just, like,
it was fine. And then it wasn't fine. Yeah. But
I really don't know what to talk about right
now. I'm about to show you guys kittens because
I got left here by myself. Jay Pizzle, come save
us. No, but seriously, like, watching the Aces
8 storyline, you could tell was, in fact, very,
very much inspired by Sons of Anarchy at the
time. So it's kind of interesting, honestly.
I feel like we need, like, music. Oh, hey, we
got to talk about some news. Oh, wait, the cat
gets back, I guess. Talk about that. dude he
left me here by myself i don't know what to talk
about we're gonna have to edit this part out
so anyone's anyone on here live with me i apologize
because i don't know where i'm going with this
um actually you know let's talk about really
quick that another wwe superstar has gotten pregnant
while holding the title and it always seems to
be the raw woman's title so okay let's start
with ronda rousey quit to go and have her babies
cool awesome bye right she quit to go have babies
then becky lynch gets the title and becky lynch
gets pregnant and has to relinquish the title
now naomi and um oh though i think kevin owens
response is really funny kevin owens is like
um hopefully you know this is the only bloodline
remember that doesn't suck and uh hopefully the
bloodline continues not sucking because of this
little one which would be funny yeah but yeah
it seems uh the women's title man you know it's
like oh here's a woman's bell oh we're pregnant
so um i remember i think alexa bliss joked about
that was like anyone touches that bell gets pregnant
so let's hope that's not a continuing trend we
keep everyone up because uh stephanie vicar does
not need to go away anytime soon cat come back
and save me i don't talk about um so uh only
about six percent of the ocean has been explored
Yeah, it's kind of creepy when you start thinking
about it, how much is out there we just don't
know about. In fact, there has been more people
who have set foot on the moon than there have
been at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, which
is the deepest spot of the ocean. And the person
who's probably going to be at both places before
anyone else is probably going to be James Cameron,
funny enough. James Cameron, of course, did a
bunch of deep dives to the Titanic, and he also
did a bunch of deep dives to the bottom of the
Marianas Trench to go explore, which is really
cool. I know it's a wrestling podcast, guys.
I'm just bantering. Oh my god, thank god. Dude,
don't do that to me again. I had no idea what
to talk about. I started talking about ocean
stuff. That's all I had. Sorry, the wife needed
a bottle. It's legit, but I was like, literally,
I'm like, I don't know what to talk about. So
I rambled about like six things. So I think I
lost us all our viewers. No, it's all good. It's
all good. You're okay. I talked about Naomi's
pregnancy. I talked about how every woman that
touches that raw title seems to get pregnant.
I said, don't let Stephanie Vecchia touch it
anytime soon. I talked about how only 6 % of
the oceans have been explored, and there's been
more people on the moon than there has been at
the bottom of the ocean. Did you hear about the
report about that? No. Okay. I don't know if
this is true. I don't know if this is true. This
has not been peer -reviewed. I haven't looked
into it. But what I've read is that they found
another part of the ocean. They were doing some
kind of research, whatever. What they thought
was the bottom of the ocean turned out it was
not the bottom of the ocean. They're going further
down. Okay. So they had a drone. Does this movie
have a giant shark in it? No. Okay. It's not
the Meg then. Okay. We're good. They took an
unmanned drone and they took footage, took a
camera, and they basically went further down
and recorded what they saw, whatever. People
asked for the footage and they said they will
never release it. I think this is a creepypasta.
Maybe. It could have been. Or the movie The Meg.
That is literally the plot of The Meg. Except
when they break through, they actually release
the mate because it breaks through the thermal
vent. Even though it would freeze to death really
quick. Okay, this is not that. The reason they
said that they wouldn't release it is because
the things that they found there would terrify
anybody. Deep Ocean is scary as hell. Do you
know what the Big Fin Squid is? Yeah. You know
what a Big Fin Squid is? Yeah, it's a giant fucking
squid. What does it look like, Kat? It looks
like a squid with a fin on it. Uh -huh. It also
has elbows. Okay, it was not the same thing I
was thinking of. Yeah, I figured as much. So
the Big Fin Squid actually has the top body of
a squid, then its tentacles actually go out at
a 90 -degree angle and drop, and they're 30 feet
long. That's just the juveniles. They've never
found an adult. They don't know what the adults
look like. Well, according to those people, and
again, I don't know if this is real or not. But
according to these people, they said that there's
things in there that was so big that it would
make fucking whales look tiny. Yeah, I need to
see these papers. I'm interested. I don't know.
Like I said, I don't know if this is actually
true or not, but I think that'd be pretty fucking
dope if it was. When does it become an Ocean
podcast? I don't know. I don't know. I'm even
wearing a Danny Adams shirt tonight. I'm even
so far away from Ocean tonight. You brought up
Ocean shit, so I had to bring it up too. That's
basically all I had for news -wise. Nothing I
had. Everything else was basically like... little
few things i was like yeah whatever the pattern
i failed so it's all good um it's like when i
had to cut that promo cold at the let's show
that time and i was like i don't know what i'm
doing this dude i had no i got a good promo if
i'm fired up but if i'm cold like i don't like
i was like it took me like 30 seconds to get
into it That was fine, but it took me a minute
to get it. I was like, I feel awful about this.
Was that the same day that you weren't feeling
it? Yeah. Nothing was adding up that day for
me. It was one of those days. It happens to everybody.
I wanted to start pulling the Unreal clips. I
think I'm going to do that for one episode eventually.
Especially days like this where it's not really
crazy news going on. Things that the wrestlers
talk about, Rhea Ripley brought that up. The
Netflix show, the most important show on Netflix.
She was in a fog. She said nothing was adding
up. I bought gear for that fucking event. I didn't
even end up wearing it because I couldn't focus.
Ideas were coming my way. nothing clicked um
and like i think she said too i've had shows
yeah i get it i've had shows like that where
we're calling the match and just nothing sticking
i'm just blank looking at someone going uh -huh
yeah uh -huh and then i called back and i was
like what you know it just i it's nothing against
anyone else just sometimes my brain just doesn't
click it so all the time i thought that like
usually that tends to me like grabbing somebody
go you might need to tell me what i'm what i'm
supposed to be doing because i'm gonna probably
forget i was i was working with the kids at the
dojo the other night i'm like i told them like
the worst thing to do is stop and just stare
at your opponent grab them throw them in the
quarterback where are we going yeah exactly having
me and dad what are we doing i don't know what
we're doing it's like Okay, just going off the
spot, I guess. I've done that with Ben a couple
times where literally the NCW match I've told
the story is like we both rolled up and looked
at it. It was a big double down spot. We both
rolled up and looked at each other and went,
oh, shit. Where are we going? Punch each other.
Got it. Okay, so we went to Strike Exchange.
Then he looks at me and he's like, I got an idea.
I'm like, all right. He's like, this finish.
Cool, let's go. Exactly. We were right near the
end of the match. We just couldn't remember what
we called for the finish. All right, let's do
botches and we can get on out of here. Yeah,
let's do botches and call it a night. I'm going
to go full screen for botches. Yeah, I know.
You told me you better have botches tonight.
Better fucking botches. Before we do botches.
I'll do the thing. Yeah, do the thing. Before
we do botches, I want to say goodbye to all the
audio listeners because this is the part of the
podcast where you have no clue what's going on.
So if you want to catch the actual full episode
of... the podcast. You can only catch it live

you, please give five stars, five stars from
Fox Flash to both audio, to all the other listeners,

have no idea what to talk about. Jesus, this
is the host of the show? I had nothing tonight,
man. I had no matches to talk about. I haven't
had a match in two weeks. You could have just
pulled out of the well fucking the next report.
AEW ratings are about the same as they always
have been. They're about 700 ,000. There you
go. Between 600 ,000 and 800 ,000. They haven't

600 and 700. What the fuck happened this week?
Bad week. It's a bad week, man. I'll be honest,
this week is kind of like, personally for me,
this week kind of sucked. It was just like, it
shrunk. I get it. It was just one of those weeks.

Adams. Till next TikTok. D -O -T -D next. Okay.
Big Cat Tyler Adams. I was going to say, if you're
wondering, it says for Dwell or The Depths. That's
my original gimmick. I never changed it. You
changed Dwell or The Depths. I don't know why.
Because it didn't fit the gimmick anymore, what
I was doing. Okay. I like the octopus fucking
singlet. Oh, I still have it. I wear it for practice
now. No shit. Yeah. I still wear it. I don't
wear it in the ring anymore. It's not my gear
anymore. Dude, I got two brand new sets of gear
sitting up. Literally, the cat bed right here.
You see it? I have two brand new sets of gear
sitting in that right now. I haven't even worn
them yet. I tried them on, but they haven't been
worn in a ring yet. So I have two brand new sets
of gear to a debut. Hopefully they do better
than that other set that you bought. Oh, that
blue set? Yes. No, it wasn't blue. It was my
Seahawks set. It was the Seahawks colors. That
ripped the first fucking match? Didn't rip. Basically,
whatever material the blue was. um it was that
material everyone actually probably knows what
i'm talking about it's the stuff that if you
rub it together it goes and i hate that it came
off the blue came off the under um basically
it was like it was layered so the the top layer
basically peeled off the middle the middle layer
so yeah so basically i lost the blue off of it
the gray and the gray and the green still in
perfect condition i don't even know where the
gear is i'd love to cut it up and take chunks
of it make something we need to make the wall
set we're gonna we're gonna actually make like
a set i gotta design the wild set i thought you
already signed it you told me you did i thought
you i thought you did i not i thought you had
like your yours was like aquaman style and then
mine was like fucking um No, mine was Aquaman.
No, it was Aquaman. It was Tempest, actually.
Tempest. And yours was based off of Thundercats.
Yeah. Thundercats, yes. I thought for some reason
I was thinking Wolverine's brother, Saber, or
whatever the fuck it was. Yes, Sabertooth, but
the lettering was Thundercats style. Right. You
did have that. It was a mix of both. I do have
that. I have it drawn up somewhere. Are we keeping
the orange or do we go yellow? I'd keep orange.
Besides Dunkey, no one else wears orange, really.
That's true. Big Cat Tyler Adams on TikTok and
Instagram. Tyler Adams on Facebook and Twitter.
And then, of course, you can buy my shit at Brain
