I have a kind of a sensitive question to ask you Okay Congratulations By the way, that on your next victory in the NBA finals You know it stillill I feel like I just celebrated a shape en. Well, that's kind I was gonna ask. My body is broken right. How do you feel? I guess I should ask this is like a definitive cold open question format You think it's appropriate for celebrity fans to be celebrating in the locker room Yes One thousand percent. Okay. If there's any team Who celebrity fans deserve in lockeromood The Kicks, one thousand percent. But you got to draw the line somewhere Well The line starts at the top. I mean, Tim Salamay Spikey. I don't think Spikey was in there. now. Ben Stiller was in there, but Ben Stillers One is superfan and two Also directing a document for HBO documentary. So he had to be in there Um What is the Nicks? Are you kidding me? I You know, I don't I guess I don't mind you think they're gonna tell Sydney Sweeney she can't come in Wells like player the roster might not I'm just you do have to draw a line somewhere with a team like the Kicks, right? I mean, there's like There've been nights where there's like, you know, fifty people on that the Syney Sweeney level Yeah I guess She didn't even get her feet on the court, man. Well I guessy Sweeney's like, you know, She had like a fewuse a few ros up. She didn't have, you know, detective Benson seats. It's likeon That is by the way, that is amazing. Like give your local New York TV stars like they should have a giant throne in the middle where like Pat Kiernan from New York onene gets to s on the court right the mid court re the Um Yeah, I love that part. No, I don't mind them celebrating. When I saw the first thing I noticed was an interview with Bin Stiller with goggles on and I think I just take exception to Bin Stiller getting goggles. Now you're right, he's directing this thing and he probably needs to be able to see. And he's been still it But like the funny part guys love them. they're A lot of these guys like They're real friends like Tim Chhalamet and Carl Anthony Towns go out for dinner quite frequently. Ben Stiller knows all these guys pretty intimately, especially the Brunsons. like this is like it's different in New York. It's just it's just different in New York. Like if we're this is like when Eric And when Eric Andre is at Monday Night Raw, for instance, and he's just like he knows the guys in real life. I get it H and Roman Reigns aren't street fighter this year, like street fighter pals Eat some of these splashes, my guy. Everyone's gonna to love it. o. Well, I appreciate you defending your team If you were there and they were like Caz come on, you would be there one hundred percent I mean, it's a's's' it's a moment it's a moment in time, I guess. Yeah. I mean, no, there's there's definitely a small part of me that's like this is their moment. like I don't want to be the awkward guy. But if they like are welcoming me with open arms like cas we did it. likeike they would would shall likeike if they're pouring champagne on you Are you kidding me? Absolutely. I'm just saying if I've poured champagne on somebody then like I'm that's I'm going to call them when I need a cigner for a loan. That's right you're in it for life together, you know, it's not just like you were passing through and you had my trading card one year. likeike no, like this is got to be like trust. The amount of friends I've made over the years if if if Bad luck should ever befall me, you will not see a go fund be link on my b age I'm making three or four phone calls by It's Matson. I gotta borrow your Rolodecks. That sounds like a great a great deal. Okay my friend my famous friends won't let me die hopefully. So let's you You know what as cz the only thing I could think of was wrestling And as crazy as it is as much fun as we have seeing the wrestlers and everything like that I mean, I think if somebody said, grab me by the, you know the shirt and was like, C come on, you got to come backstage. I'm sure I would I'm sure I would have a hard time saying no. But if it was like the champagne pouring moment I'd say I think it would be awkward It would be awkward. but also there's a whole Kab thing going on there too when you're at an up anyway. know U Congratulations. We got to live, Dave. Congratulations above all above above all else. Cgratulations to Timothy Chalamay and Ven Stiller. The real winners S sh ask me She me get Ask me should ask ask me. Welcome to the Mask Man showow with Kaz. I know you're doing. But I'll ask anyway fighting for my life right now but we're gonna do this.ight' because you'rehausted I've been on a world tour this past couple of days, man, and I'm still, you know, just did the morning show, just on Wal Cf on, shout out to Walk Cf U, it's a lot. You can imagine this He's a Nicks fan, right Yeah, I mean come on, man Wood the next when it's on this year, you never like come on. this Goes back to the carnival, man. Yes. So yes. it's u You imagine was What was your favorite moment not the winning moment of the game. What's ever been your favorite moment since the victory Since the victory, Oh The fuck weby toast It's a tie between it's a tie between Jail Brght and toasting to fuck Wby And, um, Miuel Bridges Instagram liive. Quite possibly of the greatest Instagram lies in the history of Instagram lives. Like from now on E Super Bowl winner MB champion. World Series winner has to designate one starting player to get absolutely hammered and just give a whole Dsertation on the season and the rumors that you're here. Like just confirmed and denied every single rumor told usselfuff we had no business knowing And he was Sh not be drunk. And I thought it would made for great entertainment. WWE should really look into this. I know you know what you know they love like borrowing all these ideas close close Codody and Jay. Yeah Codody and Jay got hammered on thatress. I think that's that's low key will probably one of the reasons they stopped doing those press conferences. Like, yeah, we had some shitty questions from some pretty shitty journalists But Cody and Jay get Schmack City after winning the attack team titles U's probably up there as well too. I wish they'd bring those back Yeah, when it got to the point where like tririple H was always saying the same thing And you know, like listen, these are professionals that are paid well to do this job, but it always it always thought occurred to me that like one of the logistical problems was like you had to interview people who wrestled three hours ago. Yeah likeike if you're, I mean, obviously Brock Lesnar's if he's opening the show, he's leaving, but like if you're his opponent and you're just they like, hey, I just u Sher up, get your street clothes on, and we'll put you in front of a bunch of nerds in like two hours and twelve minutes. You like, come on Let folks go back to the hotel, getet your massage on, whatever. Now two hours and twelve minutes isn't bad, man. You go to AW PayView That might be like a five hour That's true. exactly. I mean, what do you what do you do with all that? anyyway U That's how you make good with the boys. You don't leave after a match. Oh I know, I know. but it's more like you have to be on. But I guess with the wrestlers they always have to be on. By the way You know how I feel about all these creeps? I did a whole PSA about it. People crossing the line. Mhm. Did you see though there's this Rhia Ripley story? And we're going to get to actual stuff. I do not mean to make like. She's had it worse than literally everybody Um But there wass a quote from her in an interview where she said, I won't say how But someone found my cell phone number and they texted me the other day. They wanted me they wanted me to see them because they couldn't find tickets to SmackDown There's no privacy anywhere Now. Well I agree that there's barely any privacy anywhere And R Ripley is certainly Battle scarred you know, like affected by byying decade of this sort of treatment online The problem with the modern era is not people calling finding your cell phone number and calling you. It's these like nuts that spend their entire life online. and maybe they're the same person, but I just want to I just saw that and I was like Having a celebrity's phone phone number and calling them to ask for tickets to their show is like the most the most like thing I would have done in nineteen eighty five thing ever Like if you gave me a crumpled up piece of paper and you were like This this number written in Cayon is Michael Jackson's phone number. I would have I would have one hundred percent called Like it like it like there's no way that I would have like carried it around. I would have told people about it. They would asked to write it down You know, like everybody would have called and asked Michael, Hey is this Michael Jackson? got a ticketets to theonight show? He probably hung up before it's. Anyway, I imagine like getting calling Mr. T before WrestleMania one, like He let's see. Yeah, exactly. L like I ped the fool who call my ph. just U No, he's gonna be like, I pity this fool was a will call because I'm seitting everybody there. you're all going Yeah. You're going to WrestleMania. It's five dollars a ticket. It's not a t Exactly sc're just giving tickets away. They have scampers outside with like change in their pockets in case you need J Jingle jangle. Yeah, it's a anyway I don't even know what were we talking about? How do we get to this place? We talking about Ria Ripley and her. But before that, I don't even know how I got to that place. Anyway, we're just talk out. I was thinking about celebrating in locker rooms home Anyway U We had Mondayight raw last night Cook, a bunch of sort of interesting stuff I will say, Well, oh yeah, we talked about Jay Usso. That's why I was thinking about this. Jay Usso is in the finals. is in the final the semifinals of the King of the Ring tournament. We know that Oa Fem is all the way in. We'll talk about that in a second, but Jay's taking on Javon Evans for the final spot which I feel like I mean we, I kind of always thought that Obo was going to win this tournament, but A lot of my questions about Javon have been resolved over the past several weeks Um, He's now feuding with the vision and and potentially and if he doesn't make it to the finals of the King of the Ring tournament, there might be a public outcry Um, I don't know, who do think's going to win Jay or or Javon I don't know. That's a tough one because In a weird way, Jay' just try to like regain momentum as is more Comfortable position as like the right hand man tag teamer incredible threat now that he's like a former world champion And the fact that, you know, if you were to ask me who's going to win between Jusil and Javvon Evans like two months ago, three months ago,' like easily Jvon Evans. You can't him lose this early. Yeah. like people love him all that type of stuff. Now it's like Jus is kind of doing this thing where He's kind of a bit of a crashout. Yeah. and Jay Uso is I mean, Jevan Evans is beloved and There's one reason or one way to get people to really not like somebody Beating up tovot Ets, You know what I'm saying? So Um I just get the like I would love for Javvon Evans to win this because the Jovon Evans, Oberemi King of the Ring final is going to feed the streets for years to go I think storyline wise, the way Jay's been moving It'll probably help about a lot to kind of be this person who upsets the fans by knocking out J Jon Evans. Maybe he gets listen. Maybe gets a cool little handshake at the end of it and that like sort of acknowledges him and, you know, gives him a whs up but not really acknowledge No, you know I'm saying. Now I I agree with everything up until that last line. I think Yeah. Certainly, Jane quote unquote, needs it more, but that's sort of beside the point I mean, Jay is basically a heel. All those bloodline guys are basically heels waiting to be turned on by the fans. Like, you know, like's the only thing. And what better like For all the times that a Jay Uso win has made people mad. now you know they're sitting back stage Triple ag is rubbing his hands together likeike now we can use that in our favor Absolutely. They're going to crash out of Jay Wins. Hell, yes, That's what we want for ones and Um And from a storytelling perspective, I know we have this big Brock Lesnar shaped cloud hanging over everything Oa Femi does. I mean he talk about he talks about him every time he holds a microphone But if Oa Femi is going to win the the King of the Ring tournament then what better person for and in doing so earn a title shot against Roman Reigns What better person for him to beat while doing it than Roman Reigns buddy? Roman Reigns cousin Mhm You know, I mean, Roman Reigns might be at ringside for that match. You know, or if all the bloodline runs in and beats him up afterwards and Yeah, now that I think about it, like the way Oafem is running through shit, like A vision of like Oba Femi completely just nerfing Jusso and dancing at Roman reigns, like, yo, YoS is I told you I'm coming for you Yeah You know, own on his head. I mean, listen as you can get as wild with this fantasy booking as you want. I mean, he could take on he could beat Roman Reigns at Summer sllam and then Brock Lesnner could run in. like that could be your point of connection, you know, likeike Rck Lesnar gets his hometown pop And that's how the show ends I mean, if you want to get really crazy, you could have them fight in an impromptu match and Oa Femy squashes him. likeike you you can do whatever you want You' could have lightning bolts come out of Oa Femmy's eyes, which I'm sure will happen someday So should make it do nowaking Speaking of Javvon Evans I agree that he doesn't need the win as much right now, but but to me it has more to do. I mean For all of that, you're right that they can get good sympathy out of people beating him up. You can tell that WWE likes him. so there's not this existential dread of like, does every loss mean it's over for him? But the most important thing by far, is standing in the ring with Logan Paul in Austin Theory last night And just them being like, all right. Well, that in K fab, they were trying to force him to join the vision In reality, in the real world, they were forcing him into a feud with the vision. Uh and and that's a huge positive deal for him You know? I mean, he's going to be, he's feuding with like the big bads of the company I think that's absolutely huge. Now Joe Tesetor needs to quit calling him mister They call mister Bouncy or're just calling him bouncy as if that's his nickname It's like, no, that kid is bouncy. And not saying that kid's name is bouncy. It's just that boy bouncecy. Yeah that boy bouncy. Yeah, come on You can't just you don't, it sounded so awkward Bouncy with the drop kick, like that's not his nickname Um I guess he's trying to make it a thing. That's fine, Joe Tes., go do your thing u is a huge The best thing about m your Tesad door is it He doesn't sound like he should enjoy his job, but he enjoys his job so much Um Oh, I know what I was going to say. My other big question about these guys And this is not a knock. I just thought it was hilarious F first of all, Oba Femi got the main event slot with a promo Like he got a main event match, but then they just like let him cut a promo after the show, like a your next promo. Like when the hell was the last time that happened I'm sure there've been post match promos that like led to angles and stuff, but this was nothing. This was Jay U so squashes dominic Mystero. And by the way, if there's any question if there's any, you know, in previous conversations about the King of the Ring We kind of got stuck on Dom. notot that we thought Dom was going to win, but because we weren't quite sure I was going to go down. If you had any question about whether Oba Femi' winning this thing after you see how we just unceremoniously squashed the next big thing the next next big thing in Dom Mysterio then I don't know what else to tell you. Oba wass winning this motherfuck But it's it was kind of a perfect storm too because Dam can eat a loss and Oba can destroy a main event level top level guy in Dombest. Oh yeah, the fact that it was just, I mean, obviously there was a lot of work in the match and Dom did a good job of like healing and and, you know, playing to character and everything. Uh JD had a nice of, you know, I mean, Jadie really is the best in the world at what he does. Jadie is like the leader of this generation in terms of like in ring involvement that just nobody else can time out that well You know, u Outside interference, I should say. But U, but but it was clear I mean, that was just a squash match. You knowre like the way that it ended was better than if it had ended with some sort of direct schmaziness or whatever. It worked out better for all parties involved that it was just straight up, you know Power bomb pin, Let's go home And then let no, let's cut a promo. That's that's what struck me more than anything. him cutting the promo Javon and the vision Jon and Dvon and the prorofitsets. I mean I know they're just setting up their tag match for next week or whatever. So who knows if they're going to' going to see Jravon and the street prorofits together ever again But I like Javon being a part of the babyface crew. If it's like Seth, the Prophets and Javon, that's not a bad look You know Anyway totally separate thing. Here's what really caught my eye Jay Uso when the Usoos were in the ring with LA. Knight I feel like they just need to hash it out. I don't understand what the point of contention is at this point Like you could be in his ass if you dis If you ditched me for busted open radio I promise I would not have spend podcast episodes calling you out, calling you to the podcast to explain yourself. Yeah, I would just be like kind sucks, man. Like why would why would he do that to me? And then I would just like, but I wouldn't it wouldn't be like an on air grievance. you know, it's just like someone breaks your heart, you let them break it. Yeah, I don't know what he' supposed to do. Yeah, I mean They breaking hearts one thing. They've been breaking his face for the past three months. It's true like every other feud because I guess they're all nominally baby faces. like they all get dressed in the same locker room. It's always a surprise. It's like the worsten turn on Sting every week and sting keeps coming back. you know, it's just has been so because they stand right next to each other and talk and as if they're like not about to punch each other in the face and then they yeah. regardless But the best part about it was Jay Uso calling LA night by his give by his name, LA, which what do we LA Yeah's a perfect impression. He was just watch LA. Yeah he need a video clip of just this. And he's always LA it and years ago, whatever, several years ago we interviewed LA Kight And he told what did we decide the L.A stood for Lar Aldridge Knight. Oh, La Marcus Aldridge Knight. Yeahah, that's right.. Forget to a legendary spur Uh we like nothing could be better anyway And I was trying to think there are there are basketball players like this too. Like I remember growing up watching Elton Brand and whenever anybody talked about him, they would say Elton Brand And I was just like, can you imagine going up to this de be like high Elton No, his name is Elton Brnd. Like you would have be like, hello Eton Brand sir and you shake his Elton Brnd. No. Yeah. I think it's a syllables thing. Yeah it is. If your full name is like less than four syllables, I can call your full name. like I'm not calling Rick Fox Rick Oh my God, it's Rick Fox. Exactly yeah. James Bond What's up James? No's right. if it's two syllables, you call them by the first and last name, even if you're best friends Like' if you're Rick Fox's best friend, you'd be like, what's up Rick Fox? you know, like, whatever. But like Once it gets to three, it's a question mark for It's just it's it's whether or not you mumble straight through it every time. Cody Rhodes. And always say go initials. if you got a initials name like LA Kight You know what I mean? Like I can call you your full name only if you earn it. All right And that's what's happening with OGN and Obi right now They call him like, o Gga Go Gga You were not OG anymore. O Googlea' not that hard of a name that we got to shorten it to OG. It's cool Sounds awesome. It's But mom and need to call you as a culture need to embrace our Nigerian heritage because we should that arere you wearing a Nigeria hat right now? or is that a different? No, it's famous noobodies, but there iss a N on there. so you know, it stands for Nigeria for the next forty minutes on this podcast. Great No, I listen, I'm totally, I'm totally there with you. The initials thing as fun o, listen, calling him OG is a lot of fun You know, I mean, it's it's not like it's impossible to say. We had this sort of like our parents generation culture thing where we just throw up our hands and we're just like, I don't know. Well' say it just makes my tongue feel weird, you know, like and you just give up But but yeah, we reggardless Um I'm just looking at the roster now. seeing if there's anybody who doesn't have whose first name and this is different different than the Ludwic Kaiser all stars. Ludw Kiser all Stars are people whose names. company prohibit them from being world champions You cannot imagine Michael Cole saying Ludwid Kaiser does it a child a boyhood dream has come true. Like it's just not going to happen. I'm just talking about first name people that don't actually look like you would never call them by their first name Cody Rodes, has Roman Reigns, he has Lve Morganas all everybody. Pinta only has a first name trick, a hundred percent. So Rok is a kind of funny thing because like if this was a person you in knew in real life that she pass she passes the syllables to syllables syllables. Y Sllables rule. Yes. If she worked it with you, you calling her soul feels funny. It feels really lot. Also also you'd be if you knew her in real life, you'd be tormented by not being quite sure how to pronounce her name M right? It doesn't get it's only when you stare at it for a minute that you're like, fuck, am I just I've been saying this wrong for two weeks? L what you know, what And then that's the whole thing Most of the women don't have this problem and most of that's because we just sort of in a weird in a weird way for them to always are much more inclined to refer to female sport athletes by their first names So we're just just a thing I went like I try at times to really to not overdo it when I write. I'm just like, whyy is this like changing in this like changing my style from sentence to sentence based on gender? But U It's really just the way we talk. It's a very strange thing. anyway. But Tiffany Stratton is maybe the closest one is where I was getting with that Tiffany she's Tiffany Stratt I know it's Tiffy time. I know it's Tiffy, but like if you met her you have met her. But if you met her in KA, you wouldn't be like hi, Tiffany. It's a weird name. word Maybe That's true U I don't know Wh who else has like a really bad Miles Bourne? All the fake names are really tough. You would never call Lexus King Lexus, I don't think Also when they have heights, when you have a really fake name, thenen that just makes me want to default to like your name in in EAW or like what I know your real name to be You know, if your name, obviously if your name is like the master bllaster, I'm going to call you caz at the bar but like it gets closer and closer to that, right Um I mean, obviously Austin theory, love the dude He's been he was theory for a while. It would be you would never just say hi Austin S something he doesn't look like an Austin, but he doesn't quite look like an Austin Um I trying to think Is it the same way we're like certain people? All right Kind of a pet people of mind But this is before he went to AW Like When people call when he was just Daniel Bryan, when people call him like Danielson all the time, you guys are. That's a different pet peeve, but that's a that's a different pet peeve. Yeah. It's like's that's that's now it's fine in the journalism world, in the journalism world it's referring to writers by their by their friend name. they're like they're like Practical names and not their by line You know, it's like when you're twenty five years old and working in journalism in New York and you realize that everybody calls AO Scott, the movie reviewer, Tony Tony Then you're just like, oh yeah, you see what Tony Scott wrote the other day, then you feel good about yourself, you know, but it's not Bronson Reed Bron Bron Briger is Bron is Bronson Reed Bronson I guess that's a pretty good. I think he's a Braun. I think he's a Braun, man. like you know who might I' leaning the more in on the Bone than the Bronze and the Reed Yeah, okay I did I think I puted because there's another brraon next to him So It makes it easier. Like if you're L Bro, your name is Dave, David And you also have a friend named Dave. Yeah. You're just both Dave. It's like, yo, the Daves are here. Exactly. It's not the Davids. I've been there. Eact I think on when we did the Ludpic Kaiser All stars, I think I put Julius Creed on there, but Julius and Brutus Creed are both on this list. You would never just be like, what's up Julius Right You'd say you'd say, what's up, man? SM punk, I think is the funniest, right? It's always the initials People always call him Phil and everyone thinks they're trying to get under his skin. but what are they going to say? CM Like that's not a name. That's just like some letters. You know, We haven't even talked about Danhausen yet, which is a name you would call in real life Ist Where do you think Dan Hausenenss? we were wrong about who should star on this sitcom? It's stilliller Stiller is clearly the only one that understands Dan or that gets Dan Hausen. He gets it He gets it Um Butel's personal friend Ben Stiller would be perfect for this. V' close Who are you closer with these days, Dan Hausen or Ben Steller That's still about mile I thought I thought the b stillller like Pre prettyt frequently now. I mean he's he's a nix sickle like like this is what so you should be like You should have been hoping this thing went seven The longer longer it goes, the more these celebrities are hitting hitting you up on DM Well, I saw him this weekend. I saw him at the Tribecco Film Fest. He came to I was screening of So I hosted a Q and A I moderated the Q and A at the Tribecca Film Festival for Carmela Anthony's documentary coming up called Born Mello with him and his son And then, you know, I'm walking out the back to, you know, sneak out. and there's Ben Stiller. he's like, ye This is right before Is that a been silar impression by the way, because it it almost was one. Okay, go is great. It is yes, that's him. U and you know, as soon as he sees me, his eyes always light up and we always spend at least like just ten minutes just talking about the m. this is right before game five. Like game five the next day And then I'm like, y, you're going, right? He's like, I'm outt of here right now U But shout out to that he's awesome It's nice to see real fans Like you hate it. you kind of hate it when your friends team wins a little bit, but like If you're if you're a stranger It's kind of it's kind of it's cool to watch a fans team get their have their team win You know, it's a good feel. I notot maybe not getting champagne port on them You know, but yes, it's cool to see somebody like Ben Stiller I guess I had that feeling for like Chicago Cubs fans. like I'm not a Chicago Cubs fan by any means, but like it was just awesome to see that. Complete opposite feeling for the Red Sox. Like when I saw the Red Sox, I was like, no, you no. we have never win anything.. I know there's all these rules and people get thrown out, but are there any notorious heel fans anymore I think it's us I think it's the N. No, not the N Well, yeah, that would be that is a big f b. But you know, like the dude who would read the Jordan Rules book right by the Blls bench. Rember that way back in the day? Like there's like fans that like fans that are there to get to put get themselves over like football fans know Marlin's man. Oh Marlin's man Oh, Clipper Darrel Clipper Darrel used to be, you know what I mean, but he's not a heel M I think man. I think they of what I'm saying code of conduct before everyBA game. so you can't even You could barely fucking clap too loud of without LeBron coming up to be like, Hey the guy out it. Yeah, I think the flip side of what I said is if you know a fan's name, then you hate them. Like no like like Clipper Darrel is not a villain, but like if you know about Clipper Darl, you're like, fuck that guy, you know, fireman E. Oh hes he left the team and he came back wan w, you know, like like what's the anyway. Um Yeah, heel fans. That should be more of a thing Why doesn't wrestling have that? That should have been a wrestling tradition to have a full time Like Plant B Sit tro fan. Like like Aricondre like is like Aric Andre goes to every episode of raw and gets, you know, potentially something happens It would have to be somebody already famous though Like it would have to be like if you were just got like if you got Brock Lesnar guy to just be like the fucking heel fan in the crowd. No, he's too much of a heel. his gow away he. Okay, that to be like That leads me that leads me to my big idea of the week Bruce. We' play that theme music It doesn't exist, but Bruce is going to look for Um, H's what I'm thin The Eric Andre segment last night was as far as celebrity segments go, maybe it was the equivalent of like Hogan versus Andre. I it was such a celebrity segment. It's only because you only like celebrity involvement when they get involved physically, which is super fair No that Yeah's the that's the category I'm talking about. I'm not trying to make a lot make make less of any like, you know, talking segments. But u But here's my idea I know he, you know, the greatest of all time as you would call him, the greatest of our time, John Cena has officially retired He's still hanging around and and Jon Sene his traditions don't have to die with him Hear me out The John Cena co star open challenge Every time John Sen is in a movie One or maybe multiple weeks The co star from that movie is forced to go sit ringside at Monday Night Raw And just wait to see who beats the shit out of them Doesn't this sound like a good idea M Not even Bruce is laughing. I just think the John Cen' the John Cena's co star open challenge is just who we get Zach Efron. Yeah, whatever he's in dude, whatever he's in. Arriicanda Yeah Cena' got a movie coming out with Ariganda. Yes, that's why he was there Home Girl from Orange of the New Black U, But every new thing he makes, you can get like a u a a Honda Justarobi? Is he doing Honda? Is that what John Cina does? What is ye? Yeah. have like a Honda CR. Oh yeah, Oh the Honda car. Yeah For some reason, my brain like crossed wires. you said Sena. And how you went a street fighter? Yeah when a street fighter? I'm like, he thought it' street fighter Dave like a Iiot What if I told you he was in street fire? There should be secret characters in they get in the movie just like the game. Yeah. like you should be able to like like he should be like I don't know. I was gonna say Vega because he's like a mask character. I think he's in the movie, isn't he Yeah, Vegas already in there. They they got a Vega in there. but I don't know. I've played street Prer in so long. Do you think for I don't know the l secret characters, so you gott to put me all game. Do you think for movies like this they ever filmed the bonus scene, the Easter egg scene at the very end, what do they call? the cuts scene And like with someone like John Cena, but it's like it's like pending It's like, we'll film the scene. We'll have it ready to go and then we'll decide whether or not to put it on the day of based on tracking numbers. because like John Sene is not going to do this sequel unless the movie makes like five hundred million dollars. No be far anyway We're all I'm I'm the out of the today, sorry you guys. No, we're all out of it. It's all good. Chuingosky Eosky is in the finals of the Queen of the Ring tournament. She's gonna to win guys. She's gonna win that shit. Yeah, we all kind of call that from jump She's gonna win that shit.

Damn, that's cold Drink responsibly., Jaggermeister, Leor thirty five percentcohol by volume, importped by Mass Jaagereister, U SS White Ples, New Yor Could we talk about Dan's in Axand Perez in Charlotte Oh yeah Ro xam Pres. I didn't catch a ton of raw last night admittedly because of, you know New Yorks related celebrations, but U I did happen to catch Charlotte and Roxan Perez. Not surprised that Charlotteood But I was kind of hoping to see RockXamper. like I feel like she's like in the good hand state right now. you know what I mean? Like she kind of got a lot really early And now they're just like putting her with all of these like legends who are like have a great match with her, but eventually like take this out. And you know She was trending. like she was like the trending topic on my on my Teline U you know, while I was watching. Yeah, I saw her name, but I actually didn't click on her. Why was she why was she trending? because she's just over. I don't know. I guess a lot of people really expected her to go over Charlotte. Oh ye They thought she should win Oh she is the w. I know, I guess And I guess you could probably like tie in a lot of like the judgment day stuff where it's like, all right, how much long are we going to do this Liv's the champion. It would have been nice to have Rxam versus Liv for the title or something like that. but ye, I guess it makes sense that Charlotte won to set up the The Charlotte live, Morgan Match or you to lead into the Charlotte live, Morgan Match is not set up They're fighting in the Qeen and the ring tourent Um But yeah, that's yeah, you're right. I mean Rox Anan is I think, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I think the longer she toils in the sort of semi obscurity and that's obviously an overstatement. though more over she gets Um It's the old it's the old rule of Stables where it's like She's kind of For lack of a better comparison. She's turned into like the she's going to turn into like the Batisto judgment thing where like she's in this group And we're just like, and it's funny comparing her to Batista just because like, you know, ye,' just funny. Yeah. But just follow me here. just follow me guys. likeike when Batista was an evolution It was like a good six months towards the end of that run where everyone's like When is this motherfucker just going to throw triples through the fucking ring and then when he finally hit that thumbs down and the crowdle with nuts like That's that's where that's where Roxanne Perez is now. like eventually Maybe not now, maybe not next month. But like Before Summerslam, people are going to be like When is she gonna put Liv Morgan on her fucking face and say I want that side You know, It's actually going to be a really interesting one to watch because first of all, I totally agree with you. and second of all, though, it's I feel like our allegiance So wrestlers, this is not a fully fleshed out idea, but I've beeninking about this for a while. I feel like when we talk about people like heels that we cheer because we like them and heelals that we boo out of respect because we like them and the way that our that we kind of turn on wrestlers or like embrace wrestlers when they're heels and I feel like in the modern era It's not just that we're smart I think it's also on a really weird compressed timeline that doesn't make any sense, which is all to say They could set up a Roxan live feud with Roxan as the Batista Live could live could flip back to being like the the double turn baby face by the time the match happens You know what I mean? Like it's it like people would be are happy to boo live now But man, give them a month and a half and they'll switch know it'll be right back to that Um Anyway Roxan is great. Roand is absolutely amazing and she'll she'll get hers Is watching Rxsanne face Charlotte Dude are we are we in the Jim Cornet era of like this beggar's belief? It stretches credulility to have someone who's like four foot ten Russell, someone who's six feet tall N because Roxandne Perez has like the center of gravity. You're right called hips and ass that makes her like kind of balances it out like it's like, yeah, like she's small, but she's like Stongest shit those That'd be great if they if there was that match like that and the smaller wrestler, male or female just came in like thirty pounds heavier just like yey, you didn't have to cut weight for once. So we decided to come in You in this whole bulking mode right now. I love Roxana's Batista, though. Speaking of bulking. wouldouldn't that be great if she was just like woke up tomorrow? It was like Batista is the best wrestler ever. I'm going to become female Batista. I just started getting the crazy tribal tattoos and just jack as jacked as humanly possible. J just like just like we left it to our listeners to come up with a version of eighty two and zo for wrestling. I'm gonna to leave it to our listeners once again to create an awesome Roxanne Perez I walk alone Batista video Th I walk for miles and saw this bit of danger. Aw I keep asking really like unimportant questions. Rait, Bruce, you answer this too if you can think of anybody we always know who who's wrestlers who wrestlers' favorite wrestler was growing up. Like they always talk about it in interviews and stuff, but is there any Is anybody that dolize their favorite wrestler and then just like gimmick basically Like there's a lot of like like Rick Flare like like Rick Flair says he wanted to be Dusty Rodes, know, that's how the like the that's how it was rambling Ricky Ricky Flair or whatever for a minute, But like Uh, you know, Hul Hogan stole from from Um Fam Billy Graham from Dusty Rhodes from from you know, just ever the buddy Rogers, like so many people Pg is pretty close. When it comes to Bret Hart, Bret Hart like' the whole gimmick, but like The sort of And Roddy P take this very seriously. Yeah. Yeah, he wears his influences on his sleeves sometometimes liter of execution best in the world like But at the time But you got to remember but at the same time, it's like dude when Sam Punk first came to WWE, his gimmick was he had tattoos. like that you can't really be saye to be borrowing somebody else's gimmick when all everybody can see is the amount of ink that you have You know, so but u, unless that's the gimmick Uh Yeah O thing that's coming to me is I it's not quite the exact thing, but Jay Letal is Black Machismo and avjo man. That's o sing the that works., there there's a lot more in AW. I mean, can you see guys like Nick Wayne that come up that kind of just like You're kind of basic and you you remind people of of that person's influences, right evenven if you you know I don't know that like the young bucks favorite tag team was the Hy Bys or whatever, but like if you told me that, I'd be like yeah I can see that. you know, like there's kind of talk took some of that Vibe Um So yeah, anyway Well we' talking about Roxanne. Congratulations to Roxanne for Be the next Batista. Um Yeah, well it still hurt when she's like Oh no, what is it Wait she'll get the thumbs down when she's on top of of Raquel's shoulders celebrating, right? Liv will give her the thumbs down. They should just do it Chad Gable had his first match backack as Chad Gable defeating Rusv in a pretty convincing match. I know I complained about Thank auck last week and I know that Some people probably thought that was over the line But I'm going to double down on it. It's not just the ankle lock It's the whole like I'm fake Kurt angle thing. It's everything about like this would have been a great time for a refresh And their refresh their refresh was like, we got them some like tiger stripe singlets or something, you know, like I don't know. That it's just it's not quite clicking for me Um What's that? Yeah He I don't know. I love the story. like the story is clicking for me I just thought maybe a different look, maybe some different less slightly different moves. I mean, I don't know I don't know. shouldhouldn't he be like, I know he's now doing Im like yes he was always doing the the backflip, but like give him some like stuff that he learned in Mexico, makeake him, I don't know, just do something different. Well he never really changed his style up. He was just got a little bit more intense, You know what I mean That's tr. mean, listen, I love never the Germans I'm never going to complain about or whatever. and and I don't mind the single it. It just seems like I don't know. it just seems like very earnest. likeike the he's in a situation now where like the only way this really ends up working for me is if he turns heel again You know, like, why are you you're not it's not just that you've learned your lesson, but you're a fucking monk to the cause of Luo Libre all of the sudden Like he's there's nothing interesting about the guy. He just like shows up and he's like, I've got a lot to atone for. And then like hugs Pinta or whatever. Like I don't like, what's the point here What's the what's the end result? I thoughtw comoming out of that match, you'd be in the main eventst you could be in the main event WrestleMania. This to me is not getting him there. but anyway. You you tell me I'm stupid I I'm not saying you're stupid. I just I think we got to give it a little time you know right way He's, you know, definitely become a guy that the crowd is starting to get behind and We need some for nothing, man. like we kind of need some no nonsense baby faces. like we need some baby faces that don't have any shades of gray that are just straight up. I'm going to do the right thing all the time. notot in a Samy Zane sense, not even in a Cody Rode sense because even Cody's kind of like slipp you throughrew there on some like heh. If you were heilled, they would not be chearing this at all But u, you know Why not? why not go full first run curt angle. Okay. Baby fase. because we all know where that ends up and that's the problem with being a wrestling fan. We know where that goes But you end up there because we've been taken on the ride. like we' gotten to the point where we're kind of like We want to boo you and what happened? L it became booze out of respect So it's like, you know, we got to let this baby face respectful you sucks. Yes. Yeah. You got to let this baby face run with with Gable sort of like run its course and play its course and see if it goes one way or the other. If it goes Best case scenario He's the new Brian Danielson like by the waycized guy Tue wrestle his ass off And you know, you put him against any dude of any size and like he has a fighting chance or They just sort of like step on the momentum And you know, he's a mid card guysy as long as he can be And uh, you know That's basically it. But I think they I really do believe they Got something with Chad Gable. Well, I meanen I think that I think that there's an acknowledgement. I mean the phase that we' in which is just like we saw him had the best match of the year Like no one can be like, oh, he's too small or to anything L he just did it you know And we got to remember, it's like, I think we look at a guy like Chad Gable and because he's low key been around for so long. I mean, like as far as like black and gold NXT, American alpha, like a lot of the guys that we probably would have like you know, pencil him into with feuds are like either moved on or like attraction the wrestlers now. likeike I think there's new class. I think this new class of like top guys in WWE that are like a little bit younger your old tricks Javvon Evans, all those type of guys, Th guys that aren going to be made of Eers are going to probably be be main eventing matches with the like a world Champion level or main event level Chad Gable. It's like You know, like now he's in a place where he's the vet. he's the OG. Yeah. And, you know, it's not so much like Oh, let's give Chad Gable a shot out. Let's call the OG. The WW writing team is just like like just like lit up to like we can have the OG Granday Americano versus the young OG Javon Evans in the same mat. Oh my gosh. This is a Saturday night's main event main event Yeah, no. I listen I agree. although It just seems deliberately flat to me, That's all. Like I would like if it's Dragon Lee and Ray Mysterio and Pinta and Chad Gable, were're st we're in the ring staring down staring down Ethan page and and u and Rusev Would you be that shocked Would you be that shocked if Chad Gable turned on his baby face friends and and aligned himself as the new leader of this Ethan Page Rusf faction I would I would at this point. It's like Th the obvious thing it's not the obvious. This is a lazy thing The lazy thing is like, Letust us make him seem like he's and then you No, you're right. It is lazy. I just can't believe it otherwise. Anyway, but he looked great than that. Make us believe it That's your job. That's your job, creative. Make us believe that this guy has really spent a year of his life in Mexico and has truly turned over a new lead. and don't And because the crowds may not be like as into it as like in Italy was or like whatever Mexico was all that type of stuff, like don't get off the train. You have something here We've seen what he can do when he's been given the ball in some place and it was It resulted in the best match of the year so far Don't get cold feet on Chad Gable. J let this I'm a super pure guy with massive respect for the Mexican people. be his thing and run with it Yeah I guess if ye, we can move on. If it were me, I would just give him a give him a new finishisher for that he learned in Mexico. He just spe been a year there. I got I got El Santo's camel clutch or whatever, you know, like you And that was what he used, right? Yeah think so Um And I guess that steps on Russef's toes a little bit. But see if you make them friends, Real quick before we get out of there, what do you think is going on with Jacob Busso right now I mean, it's already the most interesting part of the story. you say, did you call him Jacob Uso? What's his name Jacob Fatu Who's Jacob Uso? He might as well be Jacob Uso now. Sit He's The rabbid dog He has to do Roman reigns his bidding And him sicking him on Eric Andre and acquiescing to the crowd So great. You can kind of say and be like It may not be too bad having to someone werewolf do your bidding, you know what I'm saying? like And you can still kind of get baby face cheers a little bit. like I look at that outllside Wh should we be chearing this man like beating up a civilian, but it's like, that'sric. Eric Andre, come on, Eric Andre can just He could have a show that was just him getting punched in the face over and over again and it would be the biggest show in the world Um Oh, here's this is a this should have been the cool open question the week. and I can't save it. I'll ask you now. When did to do the whole setup. Okay, C up in question the week has S shoes. Gost. Jayen Brunson and Jacob Fatu are listed at six foot two Who's lying the most Jacob Patu and who is that six with two? Jalen Brunson So I've made a rule with all Nx fandans To add to the Jail and Bronton lore, you must make him shorter every time you mention him. So now he's down to five five Like five Jalen Brunson did this in five games and the won the finals. So yeah I'm going to go ahead and say Jaylen Brunson is lying about his height. You know what It's amazing what a man at four foot eleven could do. Yeahan we do this about Jacob Fatu too. I guess it probably diminishes Jacob Fatu because he's not the little engine that could, but still Well yeah like people didn't spend five years of his career saying like, oh my God, I can't believe fucking midget is like is doing so well and he's landed the giants. Oh my God, this is breaking my brain So now we have to remind people every single time you mentioned Jaob Bronsson that at four foot two He completely demolished this alien from the San Antonio's burse. destroyed them. So yeah. There's their answer I feel like it's got I feel like the only bad side and I don't congratulations to Rick Brunson for all his backroom dealings and everything else, but but the I feel like this is like they're the first ones. Now they're not. I feel like this is going to do to We had to employ Chris Smith at one point in time. Okaykay. I've seen three Auntie Tacumbros Three ofable all have MBA jobs for a long time, all right The guy's a coach mother fucker coach, right? I want tona he about th those damn nepppotism course of all backroom dealings, all right It all worked ire roll Would it be weird wouldould it be weirder if like Fred uend to attend to Kumo was like an assistant GM or the fifteenth guy on the roster I'd rather him be in the front of it. I'd rather him not be on the court. Right. All right. You know what I mean? wouldn't like one would object if the brothers were like getting doing coffee runs for the general managers or something. Right It's a normal nepotism job. But you manis. Wonderful guy. wonderful guy. shouldhould not be on an NBA roster anywhay. Should he be on a pro wrestling roster? because shouldn't we just go just like Lante and like just just teach him a thing or two about the wresting? should be in like the Judgment day probably. like The NassS did the Kumbo they could be like the other two attank to Kumbos could be like the Harris twins. They just like they're kind of wrestlers, but mostly just big guys that stand behind other villains, you know, that they could be perfect Yeah, menacing menacing heal number one and menacing heal number two That would be the crredus in the movie Yeah, that'd be great Mhm Um Also, if you're one of those brothers, I don' know why I mean I feel like there's some real space. to be carved out as the degenerate attention to I can't say his name today. This is crazy. I'm too tired. theerate the degenerate Janis brother. Like if you're the fifteenth man on the bench and you're like out of shape and smoking a cigarette during the game, like that you would be a social media star. There's like you can make billions of dollars that way Um Well, what else happened Oh yeah, we're talking about Jacob Fat too. I think this whatever's happening now might be might be a rerun, but it's freaking great. Not that much because he's kind of still giving to Uso shit. It's like Yeah exactly. I acknowledged him. You guys could still go suck it, you know what? Well, yeah, and the Uos are just like bitching out too. I don't really get like, come on, Roman. they're supposed to bout out. He's supposed to acknowledge us. you know, like it's I guess Roman had to explain the plot or whatever, but it still. that Oh and look at this. Bruce So Bruce editorializing on this rundown said that the post match promo sets up brock costing Oba Femi, the King of the ring finals probably makes more sense. But then who wins Are they gonna go with King J just to like mess with the bloodline stuff I mean, that would be wild. It would be wild to have, you know, J Usso be King of the ring fight for the WWE Championship against Cody, you know I'm saying? Maybe A If you like your're wrestling all bloodline all the time, that's interesting We should be all theme rolled ahead towards B n jury and invress the Samoan in Big Minnesota I think there's bigger samoans out there But should have B someen. I mean he is.'s very, very Mbe maybe big Oh I know what I want to talk about this fucking UFC show because Roman Reigns was there Oh yeah That was the whitest shit I've ever seen in my life That was the whitest. I was the whole time watching that. I was like, this is definitely payback for having that cook out when Obama was president when like Rick Rosson like every rapper was like on the White House lawn. Somebody somewhere was like, oh, you'll see We'll have nitro circus over here doing back clips and we'll have UFC pipes And you're all gonna to pay. And we're like, yeah, sure, grandpa, whatever you say. First of all, now look at us. Nobody's mad No, I mean Nicroircus Nicro Circus is inherently comical. that the whole fucking premise of the thing as someone who watched All those fucin in TV shows is like they realize how dumb they are. Now they're not all the smartest tool, you know tools in the box. They're not like got a they're not all like working on a super meta level. But like too think that like the there's a Like the monster a monster truck rally is a red state, blue state divide. It's like, no, dude, there are monster truck rallies in Madison Square Garden and people go. Like it's like it's just a it's a crazy dumb thing to see Even the people in fuck in Alabama like, you know, whatever they they know thatro Nitro circus is a cool dumb thing to watch, right? Like no one's we're not coming approaching this on different levels. And if you can't appreciate Dudes jumping on motorcycles four hundred feet in the air, then go fuck yourself But here's my real thing. I've always I've long been a proponent of more just kind of pop up wrestling And I thought this was a real what they did was, you know, politics aside was pretty incredible. I mean, just like WWE maybe this is a good model for TKO. Remember I pitched they should just have WrestleMania like a fucking like like like, you know, Woodstock. like let's just go put up a ring in fuckking Iowa. and and this is WrestleMania. You guys bring your fucking campers. It's five thousand dollars to drive on the land. You know, like whatever. you know, like it you could do so much stuff But it did I did feel like in it. I know I'm probably going offend some people, but I don't even know how, but this is certainly going to be offended The one cultural comment that I'll make is this It should have been a wrestling show Pro wrestling and I know this is my corner, but seriously, pro wrestling is the most American sport. It is the is our it is our official sport. It might not be our national pastime Pro wrestling is our fucking sport. It's the most American thing that anybody could have possibly dreamed of. I'll double down with you, Dave. I think TKO wishes that it could have been a W. Maybe it could have, but the fan bases the fan basases are too different now. I don't think I don't know you could pull it off. Forget that Who the fuck was fighting on this card? Like I don't know any of these people. Oh. Well Sgar Shane is well known Sugar Shane's known. I mean, gay tree's known Pere is not engage you winning I thought was I mean, that's the thing in UFC and anything The wins and the losses Do affect your reading of the show a lot. That may have been idiculous man., was like a freakaking slasher film Um, Somebody should do that. I don't know why I'm full of good ideas today. Can someone just make like roocky six? What number are we on right now C can we just give the Rocky franchise? has to be Creed. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. like can we just get we'll have to we'll get a third not for somebody. Yeah. Rocky dies. He's de. Yeah we got to have a thir Yeah. We got to have a third I one a thirds for series so that, you know, Michael B Jordan doesn't have to waste his time with it But I just want Rocky, but it's filmed like fucking Passion of the Christ. where just like like this UFC fight where I would not enjoy this, but this would make a billion dollars. just a boxing movie that is as graphic as ever as like the most graphic horror movie you've ever seen. Oh Oh Cassie was just saying, All right, All right, that's Rx. That's rock. gotot it. Like people would go watch this shit. People watch the dumb the craziest blenty of shit, including MMA, which I love and WWE. I'm just saying this is my argument. It's really simple Pro wrestling is the is the American pastime Is the America is like the like the soul of America MMA is like a misreading of that piece of America. Even the fans are like, it's It's for people that like can't see that don't understand wrestling on some level Does that make sense The die hard MMA fans are sometimes people who are just like We were just always the first people to say like all that wrestling shit' fake as if like everybody doesn't know. you know, it' it's I say this is a big UFC fan MMA fans, sorry and But yeah, anyway, I think WWE should be do more should be doing pop up shows. I would I know I know the politics are terrible, but like, dude If you had a real two hundred fiftieth anniversary ce birthday celebration for the country that was like a fucking he should have just had a county fair erect a a fucking county fair on the on the the the lawn and All of that stuff is just a fucking hilarious countounty fair And there was a big wrestling ring at one end of it just like there was at the countounty fair. Like that would have been awesome Raob, by the way is in London next week Where was Rw last night? They were in the US, right They just taking the week off and crossing the Atlantic again I mean, a trip to London is basically a trip to LA. at this point. Well, if you're on the east cooast, but if you're on the west coast If you're one of those rich wrestlers, as you pointed out last week that all have places in L.A The vision versus the street profits And another tag team championship match, Paage and Bribella versus Lyra Valkira and Bailey I think the three profits are going to win dude. And I think Jvon Evans is going to cost him that ree or that longs Um I think Paagege and Bribeel are going to retain. I don't know what their storyline in this division is yet. although I am kind of enjoying the matches You know? I mean, Paage and Bribella are not not getting better. I mean, it's like I we give a we we give We gave him a whole lot of shit for being like you know, both having just enormous wrestling layoffs and you know, everything being incredibly rusty U But yeah, but but and then we have nightited Champions. There's no Championship match is set up, right? Or do we are they have they announced anything for Night of Champions besides the King of the Ring? I don't think so I belieieve Seth and Bron with a steel cage fash? That's right. That's one they just announced So not really a chance no champions involved for the record ow and trick versus Mello or Ricky Saints. They're fighting to see who's going to fight for the US Championship, which as you know, if you've ever watched wrestling means it's going to be trick versus Carmelo and Ricky Saints U and it'll be great. This is a perfect use of Ricky Saints, by the way. I totally misread how they were going to walk him in the door Uh and I'm pretty impressed at how kind of seamlessly he's fit in. All of these. I mean, listen The trick and Oba and Javon Evans have all fit in in a very like best case scenario sort of way But all these other dudes who have a little bit more under their belt, you know, Ean Paage, Ricky Saints just like eating. like they seem like they've been there all along. And it's a very bizarre trend. I mean, it's incredibly impressive. that transition is going U All right, anyway I don't got anything else. Oh, Drew McIyre, according to PW Insire Drew McIntyre won' return anytime soon O some online reports suggest that he's set for a return for the summer slam season But according to PW Insider Those reports are completely inaccurate And there is Hold on Oh, and he's looking at other Hollywood projects after his filming of Highlander The Highlander reboot Um Oh yeah, he's he was announced for the film The Last Druid starring Russell Crow And you know of Russell Crows in it. then It will probably be on a streaming service near you in the near future U But that's kind of interesting.
