"You know, my mom and my grandma are watching right now. I didn't mean to. I mean, we were in a dead or somewhere. Oh yeah, I remember that. Yeah, wow. Yeah, I actually do remember. Was it auburn? The former athletic director's house. Which could involve a lot of people right now. And everybody was having fun and drinking and I think your mom was next to me and yeah, we just got crazy. You know, you just really hit it off with a variety of classy women. That's who you are. Yeah, so it was really important to my mom that you meet Reese. So I was glad that we or that you see Reese already met her, but that I was glad that you got to spend some time with her. She was over here because for the first time, we were doing her pick on the set. Oh, really? What she has not done before, and as soon as I started doing it, I regretted it instantly. But either way, she's picking Georgia and Ellis you tomorrow and we'll see who she ends up going with. But that's a whole lot. That was an interesting video. Are you trying to change the subject off of you and your mom? Yeah, I am. Actually. Paul. I keep forgetting there is a dad involved. Your dad. Yeah, my dad. It's funny. Here's what's funny. And I know your father, I saw him a couple weeks ago. Yeah. You are far more protective of your parents than you are yourself. Oh yeah, I don't care about myself. But yeah, I mean, my parents, come on. About you. Yeah, you could say anything about me. I don't care. I mean, you already have. So it's fine. There's nothing that, and at this point, here's what's really funny. If there were ever to be some sort of like big rumor about either one of us, I don't know if people what people would believe because we've both said all the rumors about each other that could ever possibly be out there. People would be like, well, I'm not sure if that's true. Oh, what'd you say? Well, I think he said all the tell all, oh, well yeah, the tell all, I mean, I'm already writing it. By the way, I got a little, I got a more of it in advance actually for the tell all. So I'm rolling in dough over here for your tell all. People are like, oh no, they're back on that again. Well, and I get people say, well, why do you do this with Laura? Because this is fun for us. This is all we have to look forward to in life. How sad is that? We both do a lot of predictable interviews everywhere. Serious, I know. It's a board by that. This is our getaway time on Friday. You really are like my safe haven, get away, fun time, do it all that I look forward to. I appreciate you for that. Hey, what else are you doing while you're here? So you got commissioner coming up, but then what's the plan later? What are you doing? You want to hang out? Should we go get dinner or something? Go out on the town in Atlanta. Go to the waffle House, you can go to the waffle House. It's right down the street. I mean, I know. I've been there before. And by the way, I don't know if you know this about waffle House. Waffle House is good at any time. It could be great at all hours of the night. It could be great in the middle of the day. Like whenever you want to go, you let me know. So I guess a Twitter question today is, what's the best time of the day to see Rutledge at the waffle House? What would you get at waffle House? That's what I would have. During media days, I went there with a friend. We just went out walking and no restaurants were open. Trying to I think I got like a grilled cheese sandwich. Oh, come on, Paul. Has anyone out there ever gotten a grilled cheese? It was one 30 in the afternoon. I wasn't going to get smothered. Covered in coverage mother, whatever the I don't know. I used to I used to go to waffle House. I mean, I think it's a great place, but I'm not like gush mazan that I go there every time I beat Alabama. I mean, I'm not that crazy. Well, you haven't beat Alabama. No, that's what you have gone, yeah. Although Tennessee did this year. Occasionally you associate it. I remember that. All right, I think you would like the waffle though. What do you get there? Well, I get a waffle. I get everything. I get waffle hash browns. Always forget the order of waffle at the waffle. Oh, come on. I used to back in the day when I would more of a neater than I am. I mean, I'd go and I remember used to cover the masters. I'd go into the waffle House on Washington road every day. Every morning and eggs and smothered onions and hash browns. That was where the days. 250 pounds. But I mean, that's a good thing. I wish I knew you back then. Oh, you were to love me. Yeah. Well, I love you now, but yeah, you're right. I mean, a little extra. I just wanted to say that. That's awful. Oh man, this was too short of an appeal. It was. I feel like the commissioner's upstaging us today. Oh, I see him he's over there. We would just carry through and we would ignore all the wraps, but I do have to move out of the way for the SEC. He needs to push back. Yeah. Somewhere in the next few months. Well, I'll see you know tomorrow. In a few hours. Okay. We're going to waffle House remember. Around the corner. Anyone else want to join us? Like, let me

"Right? Hey, he's gonna take a picture with all of you, okay? All. I love just sending you out to everybody. Okay, by the way, I'm more than happy to, but I'll wait for something else to put you on the spot. Oh, okay, I can't wait. I'll wait for the crowd to be like 30,000 like tomorrow and say Laura will be here afterwards. And don't leave until you not only got in a picture with her that you have been able to have a 15 minute conversation. Oh, the problem is I will do that. And then they'll be like, where are you? And you're supposed to be doing that. In fact, I was running over to your show because I was talking to some people and they were mad at me that I was late. You ran a tight ship over here, Paul. You're over here just, you know, honestly, I get a little nervous about getting in trouble with you, so nothing. I know you have events later, so we moved you up. Normally you're kind of toward the happy hour time at the time when people have cracked the window. Yeah, so we're all over the place and a little early today, so we're not quite as juiced up. Hey, happy hour can start at any time. You know that well. So people at home. So Laura's got a million things going on. The highlight of my day, I got to spend some quality time with a three year old earlier. Your goddaughter reefs. Yes. Reese came over here. I know. So Reese was really excited to spend some time with you. She's been missing you. I hope she was really nice to you. I did not see that interaction. So I hope it's great. Yeah, it was fantastic. And everyone knows what she looks like, so I don't need to do the grandpa thing. But your mom was there. And my mom is a saint. She had to bring Reese over here and chase her around and we had my niece here and my nephew and my sister in law and her sister. We had the whole family here. You know, I know we always joke about the rumors about us, but there was a night a couple of years ago with your mom.

"What was that like for a young man who grew up pretty just the opportunity to meet legends where they're being boxing or football. Adrian Peterson, I met, he played for the Vikings. I was able to meet him like there's so many guys that you, they're just, there's just something about them. They have a presence about them. Getting to meet them, guys like Tim Tebow. It is a blessing. And that's one of the great things about what we do. It's not just the wrestling part because they're sacrificed there. But getting the opportunity to meet people that you never would have the opportunity to meet. It's awesome. I've interviewed a number of wrestlers and spent the day with Titus O'Neil a couple of years ago and I listen, you're watching on TV and I've been to a few events and you don't appreciate, I think this is really a storytelling adventure. I'm not trying to get you to reveal the secrets, but because you have to be an extraordinary athlete, but what are you trying to convey to the public when you're in the middle of one of these things? We're a man's soap opera as what we are. We are entertainment and we try to do that to the best of our abilities and sometimes people get hurt. Sometimes things goes as planned, but it's rough on the body. It's rough on the family line because you're gone so much. But if you could survive it, I mean, it's actually a blessing. Being in this business that I'm in because like you said, you know, I've met so many people and then met somebody great fans. And it's amazing. It's a great place to be. If that's the thing about that I do admire about wrestlers is that you understand these people are your lifeblood. That'd be nothing without them. Yeah. And I understand this because I'm followed the sport for a long time, but you're not always on the biggest stage. I mean, I can only imagine some of the places where you've wrestled. Well, I started off small. I mean, that's the way it's got to be done. Usually that's the way it does at least it was in the past. Now we have a performance center in Florida that you could get the opportunity to start with WWE much earlier, but I didn't. I worked in some pretty rough places back in the day and got paid barely nothing for doing it. You mentioned some of those who have a hard time walking away. How do you ever know when you're still a young guy? But at some point, I'm sure that your body starts to tell you, I don't know how many more times I can have this happened to me. My brain likes to tell me I can do a lot of things, but my body reminds me that I can't. So you got to listen to your body as we get older. Even workouts change up. Because I'm trying not to hurt myself at this point from working out and being ready to put on a show. So, you know, Tom will come when A.J. Styles has to hang up the boots and I'll be ready to go when it does. Well, I hope it's no time soon because the fans love you. The dog fans love you in particular, A.J. Styles the phenomenal. A.J.

"And we welcome all of you back here as we are live in Atlanta as the SEC championship weekend well underway. We've already had some Hall of Fame guests. We'll have the commissioner of the SEC a little bit later on. Right now, one of the biggest dog fans in the world and he is quite worldly. We're talking about the phenomenal A.J. Styles, the belt says it all, one of the biggest wrestlers in the world and the only one I know that's got Georgia on the belt. AJ, great to see you. Thanks so much for being here. Yeah, thanks for having me. So I know you're a dog fan. Let's talk about that for a second, because then I do want to get into your wrestling career, which is legendary. Well, I mean, I've been a dog fan my whole life. My dad was a dog fan so that automatically makes V one. My brothers all the way up. Now my kids are dog fans, so it just runs in the family. Well, that's fantastic. And I want to talk about what you do because there are so few figures bigger than WWE wrestlers, worldwide, and you have been to the zenith. You're all over the place in every form and fashion. How does that start? I mean, I know every kid wants to be something, did you start thinking about it at an early age? Well, I mean, I never thought that I'd grow up and be a pro wrestler. I want to be a basketball or football player. But things just turned out. And I think God had a plan for me to be a pro wrestler because he set things up in my path that just made it happen for me and gave me the ability to be able to perform at one of the best in WWE. Yeah, I mean, it's one thing to, and there are plenty of wrestling forums, but you're at the absolute Pinnacle, what was that moment that you finally were able to break through? Because these things don't happen overnight. No, they don't. In fact, it took me 17 years to get to the WWE. So it definitely didn't happen overnight. But I made my debut in 2016 with the WWE at the Royal Rumble and it was unbelievable. I didn't know how many people would know or remember A.J. Styles, 'cause I went, what did Japan for a couple of years. So it was a blessing coming back and people just erupted there in the arena. Describe what that's like when you walk out there and I mean, it's hard for us mere mortals to understand what that must feel like. Tell us. Well, it's hard to put something like that into words. And there's a reason why guys always go a little bit too long, you know, longer, probably than they should was because of that feeling that you get when you're walking down the aisle and there's thousands and thousands of people. I mean, millions all over the world watching you and stuff. It's hard to give up. And it's just a special moment and one that I'll never forget, especially at the Royal Rumble when I made my debut. Yeah, I know you weren't talking about Ric Flair, who just retired in his 70s. We had Rick here, maybe a year ago, I can't remember in the only thing that bugs me about Rick. He's one of the most famous. Is every time I see him, he's got a different collegiate loyalty. I agree. That's the one thing that bugs me about, Rick, yeah. One year is a South Carolina fan. Now he's down to Georgia Mueller. What is he doing at Georgia? But he's a legend. I got very upset with him because he sat here. Was it last year or three years ago? I can't remember. We weren't here two years ago. And he was dogging it up. And then I see him on the sidelines with Jim Harbaugh. I'm like, what a turncoat. Well, of course. And I'm not surprised. He's the dirtiest player in the game, and he does it on every satellite. He can get on. I'm glad to hear somebody agrees with me because I was thinking I'm the only one that was down on the nature boy. Listen, I have one team and one team only. And that's the Georgia bulldogs, no doubt

"You know, became the GM in Baltimore. I was the first African American to become a GM. Mister model gave me that opportunity and when Steve bisciotti took over, he kept me around. And I just worked out, you know, had the opportunity to draft some really, really good players. Jonathan O'Donnell, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Lamar Jackson, you know, you know, and if you get good players and you work well with your coach, you got a chance every year. You don't get a chance to win it. All this time, but you have a chance. And you're still heavily involved, but when you formally retired a couple of years ago, it finally ended the longest running rumor that I've been chasing. I've got to call you a hundred times. Ozzie, are you going to be the next athletic director of Alabama? How many times did that conversation come up? We added a bunch and I love Greg burns. You know? And I've had several conversations with him over the past week and he's in Charlotte, I guess right now with the women's soccer. You know, they are playing one of the first times. So, and I met Bill battle. Once he retired, and he goes, every night I went to sleep, I had to worry about 2300 athletes, whether they were getting in trouble, and I only have to worry about 53 and 16. Not 2300. And I distinctly remember so many different times your name would come up and, you know, my friends in Tuscaloosa would whisper, we ran this by Ozzy. Including Nick Saban, which I mean, a lot of people have pointed toward you as saying, listen, I mean, this guy is going to be one of the great coaches of all time. And I know you were prophetic. Would that prediction? Yes, you know what? Great fortunes are working with Nick in

"Regulation. And people bought that argument. It never happened to him. Somewhere, he's in a shopping mall, probably. Got to get ready for it. We got a bunch of legends on later. I don't know if he's going to be representing LSU. I think his hats in the Hall of Fame somewhere. The mad Hatter. The hat. Yeah. Eating some grass. There's lots of it too, man. Big hat. In relation to this game and fortunately, I just get to sit here, but you guys have to break it down. Find a way. Look past last weekend, or was that a trend of where this LSU team maybe is right now as the season comes to an end. I will say offensively it did look like LSU was trending downward offensively. I mean, especially when you look at what was it 13 points versus Arkansas and Arkansas team that does not tackle this year. They decided we're not going to do it anymore. They were banged up. It was a banged up unit, and you only muster 13 points. That didn't look good. Then you drop the game versus a and M. That was concerning. It is kind of hard to conjure a scenario where you're going, okay, LSU scoring points. But because Georgia has chosen for quarters at a time this year sometimes to shut it down. Or gift the ball back over to their opposition that LSU's plenty good enough to take advantage of Georgia miscues. I do think it would take that. I do think that George would have to play poorly for an extended period of time. Maybe even longer. Not as long as they did versus Missouri. LSU beats Georgia if they decide to play for three and a half quarters bad football. But it would take that, I think, for it to be competitive in this ball game based on what we saw from LSU the second half of the season, especially the last quarter. The turnovers, like extension saying and also LSU being back in a position of comfort where there are now the hunter again, instead of being the hunted. For all year long, nobody expected LSU to be great and they were just kind of just getting by just beating teams here and there completely under the radar and all of a sudden they beat Alabama and became the team that is hunted. They didn't handle that great. That once they beat Alabama, they really haven't played well since then offensively specifically. So now you're back in a comfortable position where now you get to be under the radar. You get to be the underdog and you're no longer the team that is haunted. So now we can just go cut it loose. And so when you have a sense where I don't have to I don't worry about anything, I would think about anything. I can just go play. That's where LSU has flourished this year. And if stetson Bennett doesn't take care of the football, that's when games have been close for Georgia. As long as he takes care of business, George will take care of business. And I go to you on this because you went to the national championship, but Kirby smarts talking about how nobody on this team has won an FEC championship. I realize that's an important deal, especially here at the SEC championship. But George has been talking about returning to the playoffs. So you take us in that locker room right now and is winning this game important enough to overcome what happened here a year ago. I realized I was a different setup, but what about winning the SEC? I think it matters a lot. I really do. I think when you hear, especially about some of these recruiting stories or teams that are now going to be entering this conference in a couple of years, the ability to even say, hey, we play in the southeastern conference. For you to be able to say, we're the champions of the southeastern conference. That means something. Now, you might be the champion of some of these other conferences and people are like, yes, and but in college, football, especially and given this year, the depth that we've had. So you've got Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Georgia. You can consider those as four elite teams relative to the college football landscape. Recent performance is notwithstanding. The fact that you can come out as a champion and of course they ran the table in the regular season, but we don't play around Robin schedule in this conference. So eventually you have to you have to compete against the best of the other division. That means something. And in the past, even in the BCS era, it was a springboard. In fact, it was almost a de facto championship game. You can't say that. You can't make that argument this year. Nobody would buy it. What you can say this year, though, is that if you leave this conference as a champion, that means more than being a champion of any other conference, maybe not from a playoff implication standpoint. But when you look at college football landscape at large, if you won the southeastern conference, then you are among the best teams in the country. You might not ultimately win the national title. But you got to win the championships that are in front of you. You can't afford to skip the Division Championship. You got no business thinking that you can skip a conference championship. There are no promises that you will ultimately win that national title. You've got to win the ones that you can actually play for. George and LSU gets to play for a conference championship tomorrow. That'll absolutely mean a lot to both of those programs. I think it means even more because if you win tomorrow, the road to the championship comes through Georgia. Do you get the next round? Stay

"Game. That was the tenth man game. Well guys, let's talk about the playoffs for a second because I heard Roman earlier opining now Alabama still has a chance. I did not say that. I want the four teams that are in to stay exactly where they are. My only debate is I've watched the house and they're not better than Alabama. You can try and convince me differently, but I'm telling you what the RPI says, which is the Roman power index. Thank you. My eyes in Ohio State is not better than Alabama. And according to Vegas, in my opinion, if they matched up versus the top four teams, Alabama would be favored versus all of them outside of Georgia. Yeah. Michigan too, possibly. I agree. It's a little too warm. Yeah. Possibly a couple other ones. So basically Alabama would be favored against two of the four. Yes. And your point being what? I just want the four teams that are in there to stay there. I want them to win the game so we can have new fresh blood in the playoffs and we can talk about something else. Besides Alabama not being here. I think we should talk about the teams that are here and celebrate that. Well, we're just having some fun, because tonight, southern cow plays, if they lose the game, then there will be a debate. Well, you can always spin it on its head and be like, isn't it interesting that it's almost as newsworthy that Alabama isn't in. I mean, there's always going to be there's 12 teams every year that don't get to participate in this game. It's newsworthy that Bama didn't quite make it this year. They're usually in. And they're usually in. And they've also had years where they weren't in and they still got into the playoff. They're one of the two teams. I think they've been able to pull that off. The other being Ohio. How about one was BCS one with CFP, but Alabama has twice what a national championship and didn't win its own division. True. There was an argument back in O 7 where it was like, well, you know, if you don't win your division, you shouldn't be considered right because that was the year when LSU ends up winning the national title and they had two losses in overtime, which was the most ingenious VR campaign, the less miles has ever done.

"State Senate primaries and in The Bronx, sitting senator faces a stiff challenge from the first time candidate, WNYC's John Campbell explains. State senator Gustavo Rivera is chatting with me on Zoom from his apartment in kingsbridge heights. I'm not asking you for anything. He's rattling off a list of things that are tough about running in an August primary, a time when many voters are tuned out. So those are the challenges and the heat that I say the heat is hot. The primary was initially supposed to be in June and Rivera had an easy path to reelection. But that was before the state court stepped in to draw dramatically different district lines and pushed the Senate races back to August. Now, Rivera is running in a district that stretches from Riverdale to van nest. He's in a heated race against fellow Democrat megalena camilo. And in some ways, they're facing a common foe. Our biggest opponent is apathy. There's people that are either not knowledgeable, they don't know that there's a primary coming up or they're like another one. What is this about? Camilo is president of The Bronx women's bar association. She launched a campaign in February when it looked like she would be running for an open seat. And when she suddenly found herself in a primary, she wasn't going to let it scare her out of the race. We continued to move forward because the work of representing the people here, all the campaigning and had been doing since February, all the work we had been doing community that didn't change. Rivera is the sitting senator, but he doesn't have the backing of Bronx democratic leaders. That belongs to his challenger who used to be the party's vice chair. But the 6th term incumbent does chair the powerful Senate health committee. He's a progressive who sponsors the bill that would create a single payer healthcare system. And he says it's his record that sets him apart. I've done the work. It's there for all to see. And ultimately, that is what I will hopefully be judged on. Camilo is more of a centrist. She supports charter schools and says lawmakers should be more supportive of law enforcement officials. I say I'm a pragmatic Democrat and senator Robert has been open about being more of a left liberal progressive. Early voting for the August 23rd primary runs through the 21st. John Campbell, WNYC news. And also on the August 23rd ballot congressional primaries, the top candidates in the race for the tenth district made their case to voters last night in a televised debate co host about WNYC and New York won for analysis of that is WNYC's people and power reporter, Elizabeth Kim, who was up last night watching the debate and joins us now live. Hi, Liz. Good morning, Michael. We had 6 candidates on the debate stage, all progressive Democrats, where exactly did the Democrats differ the most? So these candidates don't really disagree much on major policies. This is a very liberal district. It covers Lower Manhattan and parts of northwest Brooklyn, including park slope, but the debate did reveal some differences. Daniel Goldman, who's a former prosecutor, definitely came off as more centrist and small business oriented than his opponents. He expressed concerns about repeat offenders and crime and said he'd be willing to reexamine bail reform. On the other end of the spectrum, you had state assembly woman you lead new and Westchester congressman mondaire Jones, who said they believe the way to tackle crime is by making more investments in social programs. Now Daniel goleman took a volley of attacks during the debate, arguably the most of any candidate, here is Manhattan council member carlina Rivera two Goldman. You are a walking campaign finance loophole, Dan. You are essentially trying to buy this election. Does this line of questioning Liz suggested Goldman is by anyway the FrontRunner here? This is an extremely crowded race. There are 12 candidates. But recent polls show that this could boil down to Goldman new and city council member carlina Rivera. Goldman has never been elected to public office before, but he's the wealthiest candidate in the race. He recently put in $1 million of his own money into his campaign. This is an up for grab selection and candidates like Goldman who have the money to reach voters through direct mail, phone calls, and even door to door canvassing have a big edge. Well, Liz, did you get the sense that the candidates accomplish what they were trying to do in this debate? Yes, for the most part. You just heard Rivera that was probably one of the best singers of the night. The debate was however mostly civil. I think the candidates were thinking less about throwing their opponents off their game than delivering their own closing arguments. As one example, Liz holtzman, who is this trailblazer elected official who served in Congress during the Nixon era, she came into the debate considered as the sharpest and most experienced debater. Her job was to remind voters of her accomplishments as a lawmaker, and she did that by bringing up legislation that she worked on. There was a lightning round moment when the candidates were asked whether they'd support president Joe Biden's run for reelection. It was a similar question posed to candidates in New York one and WNYC's debate of the candidates for the 12th congressional district race. I'm curious, what did they say? So not entirely different to what was said in last week's debate where the two longtime members of Congress Gerald madler and Carolyn maloney refused to commit to the idea that the president is running for reelection. First off, Biden has said he wants to run again. This time, however, the candidate said that this decision was Biden's what they sound a little bit more warm to a reelection bid. That's probably due to the fact that the president has been on a bit of a hot streak. He got a big part of his climate and domestic spending plan through, and there are signs that inflation may be coming under control. But in a sign that members of his party are still concerned about his deep unpopularity, one of the candidates Julie knew argued that Democrats need to be quote strategic about who they put on the ballot. And former mayor Bill de Blasio, who last month dropped out of this race, also came up in this debate. How so? That's right. The candidates were asked whether they would want the support of the former mayor, who dropped out because he was deeply unpopular. And the responses were not too surprising. Here's what assembly member nude told WNYC's Bridget Bergen. I have not decided endorsement from Bill de Blasio. Would you accept it? No, thank you. No thank you. And the other answers were basically the same. Okay, that's WNYC's Elizabeth Kim of the people and power

Well, no pre raw NXT Champa. The Champa we love. The champion Champa. Yeah. Yeah. Are you getting a piggyback ride from Don king? What's going on down there? Where's that from? Someone said that somewhere. That's pretty obviously. Eric has so many quotes. He can't remember the idea. Definitely not a Simpsons reference. A little too dirty 'cause I would say lucius sweet lucha sweet, yeah. Next up we have MVP versus Cedric Alexander with omas side. Why? Is MVP still wrestling? Why is this? Why is all of this? This is part of there. We want to have another quick match, a three minute match. Here we go. MVP wins and then omos throws Cedric out of the ring. Wow, great. Where the fuck are root and Ziggler. They were there last week. Have you checked? Check the what? If Zeke has been a future endeavor yet, he's not. He lost. That's pretty bad. Well, they'll be back together in a week and they'll break up again. Of course. I mean, how many times has The Hurt Business gotten back together? I don't know. He's tried a bunch. I don't know if they've ever actually done it. Next up, we have Seth Rollins versus A.J. Styles, money in the bank qualifying match. Earlier in the show, Kevin Patrick had a sit down interview with Rollins and Seth said he had no remorse for what he did to Cody Rhodes saying Cody's a virus. He's been plaguing WWE since WrestleMania. So I took matters into my own hands and he holds up the sledgehammer and says I might have to do the same thing to AJ that I did to Cody. Yeah. So A.J. Styles, attack Seth. He lays them out. And AJ says that's for Cody. Why does he give a fuck about Cody? Correct. They have literally not interacted. Yeah. No. Never. Never, ever. Ever in wrestling? I don't think because by the time AJ got to WWE, Cody was bailing. He was gone. And some people online were like, well, they were both in the bullet club. And I was like, not at the same time. And that's not canon in WWE. The bullet club at WWE. I'm sorry. Who are you? Correct. That's just a baby face like it's just like this is for Rudy. It has nothing, you know, that's all that is. It's just like, hey, I'm a baby face. So I love that other baby face 'cause Cody's our future. Right. That's all that was. Also, AJ apparently doesn't care about Finn Balor joining Judgment Day. Right. He has not commented on it. Nope. You know, this is what AW did with Sammy Guevara with the Jericho shit, never comments on. You can't do that. You've been tagging forever. Yeah. I thought you guys were in a club. You were too sweet in each other. Yeah. Just the week ago with live in the middle. Yes. You were tag teaming Liv Morgan. I mean, what's better than that? You touched tips right in front of Liv. It literally makes beautiful. She was so excited. Zero cents. I know I wasn't here last week, but this whole judgment dating. Were you doing double turn? Started. It's so stupid. And I don't know if you have rumors this week about watching. Yes. 'cause I heard some too. Yeah. But I mean, how do you, he just, they beat, you beat Finn Balor. Why would you go with Finn Balor when you beat him? That's beat him. You're gonna go with the guy who lost? MVP did with omos. You lost. I'm gonna go with you. Yeah, no, it makes you do that. Why would you do that? And I DMed edge. Edge all of Famer. Yeah. I DMed edge and I still haven't heard back. I assume he must be really hurt, guys. He must be. He must be very upset. And he's probably still not did he go home? Did he send you a picture of his boarding pass? Yeah. No, he probably is upset. He's probably fucking pissed. Of course. So these two always have a really good match, and this one was as well, but it ended with a roll up. Seth one was, of course. Even this has to be a roll up. Next up, Kevin Patrick, interviews, Bianca Belair in the ring. Belair says Judgment Day is corrupted, Rhea Ripley, because they used to be best friends, and it's like, no, you weren't. No. No, you always fought each other in NXT. Don't be dumb. Lots. But Belair says she's gonna retain her raw women's championship at money in the bank. Then the Judgment Day appears on the big screen. And they were saying we were going to have answers from the Judgment Day this week. This was all the Judgment Day did this week. Yeah. They show up on the big screen. Damien priest says they're all equal. Now that they've got rid of edge, it's like, yeah, you're all jobbers. Congratulations. No mouthpiece. No more holes. None of you are great talkers. Oh, guess who's back? Smiling Finn Balor. Yeah. Welcome back, even as a fucking heel. As a heel. Ripley says fuck. I mean. Finn Balor, same old spoiling Finn Balor. Ripley says, I don't tell people I'm intimidating. I just am. Well, you just told us. You just told us. You just did the thing you say you don't do. And that's all from Judgment Day. Right. Thanks for coming. Oh, what's that? Now that they don't have edge, they have barely any TV time you say? This is the beginning of the end, and I actually can't wait for edge to bury all three of them, including Rhea Ripley. Yes. Give her a fucking kid's hair tone to the head. I hate all of them now. I hate Finn Balor. That's how much they've ruined this fucking stable. I hate Finn Balor. That's what you did for me. And not in a good way. I don't want to see them. Yeah. Correct. No one does. No. And you know they're not going to make him the demon either because that's too over. That's too much of a baby face. Right. So it's not like he's going to be the demon. No. There's no way Rhea is going to win the title. Why does Vince take stables? Why? He had the undisputed era. I mean, when Enzo and big Cass debuted, they had the biggest pop I've ever heard. They.

WrestleMania. When they are beating up pat McAfee. What was the last one? Yeah, there you go, yeah. Yeah. That was the last one. There are few and far between them. They are. Before that, I think it was stone cold at WrestleMania 32. Stone cold fully in Shawn Michaels. Ian, if you could switch your hair with anyone on the roster who would it be? I'm assuming this is an Eric question. Eric? Roman? Ready knowledge my bun. Sure, Roman. He's got good hair and make it funny. Look, Ciampa. Hella beard. Old Greg Balor club finally getting a new member. Guess you'll have to change rumors. I think we do need to update that song. It's been a while. Yeah, it's 2019. Shit. Yeah, it's been a while. We need to get to that at some point. Right. Maybe in the next 5 years or so, but it's usually what happens. Yeah. All right, that's all for fan questions. So make sure you subscribe. Bye. Oh fuck. Again. That's twice. You want to do it. Can we just skip this one? Maybe. We can. We can all retain. Who's the champ? Eric. Now we gotta do it. Yeah, 'cause Eric never retains the street. We gotta make sure that which pizarro brother's gonna win it. The streak must continue. And there's only 6 matches. So like if you ever had a chance to retain, here it is. It is. All right. Here we go. Make sure you subscribe to our podcast. Bobby Lashley versus omos. I've got omos with a pin. I have almost with a pin. Oh, sweep it, almost with a pin. How many people interfere? One. One. One. Over under 6 minutes and 35 seconds. That was the WrestleMania match time. Okay, I have over. I have under. I have over. Okay. There's only 6 matches though, yeah. Well, I had like 6 more. Happy Corbin versus madcap moss. I've got moss with a pin. I know moss is heavily favored here. I think I'm gonna go Corbin with a pin. I can see him doing over Vince always lets him go over on the first match. This is the best of 7, you know? 17. Right. So carbon won the first one. I have moss with a pen. All right, how many people interfere? I got zero. Zero. Settle. Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins. I have Cody with a pin. Cody with a pen, Cody with a pen, how many people interfere? Zero, zero, zero, does Cody kick out of the curb stomp. I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna say no. I have no as well. Okay. All right. I don't think people really kick out of the curb stomp. A.J. Styles versus edge, I've got edge with a pin. Same. Edge with a pin. How many people interfere? One, one, one, and who helps edge? I have priest. Priest's band. He'll just run out and do it. So he'll just interfere anyway. Sure. He might, I thought that too, like, ah, fuck it. They're not gonna give us what we want. He'll just sneak out there. I put Balor. Okay. 'cause Balor helped AJ makes the most sense. To turn on him. Oh, so you changed yours. Before we started this, sorry. Judges. Get out of it. You get it. You get Hamilton. Don't get it. My parents helped you retain. You get. Did you, did you forget that he was banned? I did. Honestly. 100%. I put Rhea Ripley. I had Rhea, and then I changed the baller because I was like, he swerved like he's a good swerve, but probably we're not. SmackDown women's championship. I quit match, Charlotte Flair versus Ronda Rousey. I'm gonna tell you something. I wanna put flair here 'cause I don't think Ronnie gives a fuck. I kind of want to put no one like it just ends and it's like what the fuck was that? But it's hard to end and I quit match with nothing. Damien priest like a fuck you to the fans. But I still put Rhonda. I put Rhonda. She's so heavily favored. I put Rhonda with a quit. Yeah. Yeah, just someone actually say I quit. Yes. Yes. Yes. How many people interfere? 9 zero zero. Any weapons? Sure. One at a time boy, but yeah, okay, if you're saying the exact same word, I guess it doesn't matter but yes, yeah. So that's a wash. That's a wash. This whole card's a wash. I didn't look up. We felt like three things different, totally. I didn't look up the odds, but Rhonda's heavily faced. Negative 700. That's like a lock in wrestling. And who else moss was heavily favored? Like a little a little bit. Cody and Ed, I mean, edge and AJ was a coin toss. Edge was a slight fee was omos favorite. Heavily. Okay. And then finally, the bloodline versus Drew McIntyre and RK bro. I have the bloodline, I got the Bloods. I have the faces I've drew in our cabro. Wow. I think that if I think the reason why it's not winner take all is because I thought about that. Yeah, I thought about that. I have drew pinning J yeah, because it's RKO month. I think I win the belt here. Yeah. I have Roman pinning riddle. Me too. Okay. And zero interference. I see. I have one, because I mean, Paul's there. You never know what he's going to do. Okay. Surprise appearance? None. Eric went with his one point. Take your one point now. You're currently in the lead. Congrats. And that'll be the last time you will ever be in the lead. And that'll be, yeah. I have solo sakoa. I'm one of his taking him for 6 months. Yeah, one of these days he's going to show up. One day, maybe this will be a they keep painting it. I see clips on Twitter where he's like, you have my family, the bloodline, did he win the North American title? I don't know. I certainly don't. Yeah. Well, no, you have to have a you have to have a belt to be in the bloodline, right? No. Thank you. You can come. It's probably fighting for it right now, right? No, Cameron Grimes retains it. Interesting. I put Bailey, I just put a name. Yeah, Bailey's not bad. No reason for that. She's still gone. Right. Yeah. What's the opening match pre show doesn't count? Corbin moss. AJ edge I have Corbin moss. Main event, bloodline, bloodline. Yep. And predict a match that hasn't been announced yet. Ricochet versus gender. Oh, that's great. I have Seamus and Holland versus the new day. Oh, that's awesome, guys. This could be the worst event. It might be the worst event. I have Becky and Asuka, at least they'll have they could have a good movie. No way. They would have totally. Said that. Expecting a Twitter announcement pretty soon. Any moment. Any moment now. I've got notifications on. I have there the announcement. I have Caleb Braxton's notifications turned on. Damn you. Does he now say break? Nah. I'm going to say yes because what else are they going to fucking do on this show? I put yes, it's a 6 man tag. And then lock of the century. Ronda Rousey. Eric just fucking chokes every time he has the belt. I'm putting Roman Reigns. I put Ronda Rousey. I put Ronda Rosen. There you go. There's some differences in there. A little bit. Yeah. Enough to be Eric, possibly. Sure. Someone's going to be there. It's just who's going to be there. That's the question. Eric will beat Eric. I'm writing the bloodline, Andrew's writing the faces.

"Love nothing more than McAfee, just like W get hit with this. Like punters are WWE superstars too. And believe it or not, rich pat has done a great job in the ring and his two matches is the guy he's wrestling Austin theory. He's a guy who's projected to be one of the future stars of this business. So it's pretty cool that pat gets in there with him. But anyway, oh yeah, we got to get to your 5. Come in at number 5, I'm really looking forward to seeing edge versus A.J. Styles. If you know anything about edge, you know, for 9 years, the guy was forced to retire because of a neck issue. He came back in 2020. Actually, the day Kobe passed away. Barack, at the Royal Rumble, he made his return. And now he's wrestling A.J. Styles. All I want is a 15 to 20 minute match with those two guys. Two of the very best in the business, it should be a great match if they give him the time. I'm really looking forward to that. Coming in at number four, we've got, we've got our friend Becky Lynch taking on Bianca Belair. After last night, I'm almost afraid to not go with Becky, you know? But here's the deal. Bianca lost the Becky in 23 seconds. It was a move that I wasn't a fan of a lot of fans weren't afraid of weren't really happy with that either, but now Bianca Belair gets her chance. She main evented WrestleMania last year. Now she comes back this year. She gets a chance to win the raw women's championship against the biggest star in the company. That's a match I'm really looking forward to. Number three, Stone Cold Steve Austin. This might not necessarily be a match that's going to start up as a talk show segment. But here's what is going to happen. I'm just going to tell you a man's going to get his ass whooped and it's not going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. I told stone coat when he was here, he's going to get the biggest pop of the weekend. And when that glass shatters in Dallas at AT&T Stadium and he marches to that ring bro I'm just so happy I'm going to be in attendance. First time in 19 years, I can not wait. The second thing, the second match, I'm really looking forward to is we've got Becky's husband Seth Rollins, okay? He's got an opponent, but he has no idea who it is. It's an opponent of Vince McMahon's choosing. So, you know, the rumors have gone all over the place who could it be could be this guy could be that guy right now we're thinking about a guy who is a friend of our show. He's been in this studio and I'm hoping that when Seth Rollins is standing in that ring and that music hits, you hear the lyrics,.

"We'll talk to John wilder about the surprising decision by the pack 12 to shuttle its headquarters and have their staff work remotely. Football teams in the conference have been working remotely for about ten years now. A.J. Styles the superstar from the WWE buzz Williams on the NIT and Bill Bill Connolly joining us later on. Let's get to the calls and John starts it all off from Louisville. Hello, John. Good afternoon, mister liberal. How are you doing? Doing great. Just sitting here reading about FDR and the new deal. You realize that with that new expression, Jim moved to double digits with his usual expressions. Usually it's more on stupid. I think idiot liar. Demon devil, old fool, old buzzard and pool on a stand-alone basis. So and I like Jim. I thought he had a couple of good calls yesterday and although I find a more curmudgeon leading compelling, but I thought he made a good point about the liberal liberal slant at colleges. Now, I went to school about the same time as you Paul. And I switched to business because I think one of my political professors was like professor Jennings at animal House. You come in with wallabies and holes in his sweater. Yeah, I know. But I do enjoy Jim. So I don't want to take any slam from them. I do worry me when we would go out drinking in the afternoon down on the strip and see the professors in there. I know. It wasn't. I didn't mind that, but they were infringing on our girlfriends. Absolutely. Like animal House. Yes. A couple of shout outs. I thought you had some good pushback with Griff yesterday. I know the new targets are the same targets as always, but you push back very well. Well, we have a new scriptwriter for that segment. So you heard the result. And the shout out to ESPN for televising the NIT game, hopefully the whining from the Texas a and M fans will go away. As they continue to broadcast the game, nobody's watching. I'm just trying to think of who else would who else would be televising them if he has been lost. The privilege of having those games, you know, I hate to admit I got bored with the game so I switched to ice hockey. The championship and University of Michigan was playing. Yeah. Who knew? Yeah, the frozen four, exactly. And at University of Michigan on their hockey team wears the wing helmets, which is kind of neat looking. But the announcer said, now here's a coaching hot seat. Last year's NHL draft, the first three players drafted around the University of Michigan team. The 5th draft is on the University of Michigan team. If that coach doesn't win the frozen four, you should be gone. I agree with that. So here's my question. Who had the best slap Will Smith or juwan Howard? I'll give you my opinion after. Yeah, I think it was Will Smith because, you know, for all the criticism that he has received, he delivered it quite well. Well, I'm going to argue with you. I thought it was a bit of a girly slap. You laughed at the joke. Yeah. He had his foot into it. The key on a slap, especially a movie slash television slap, John. Is the follow through now, here's what bothered me about that. Chris Rock set up like he knew he was getting slapped. Yeah, I agree. He put his chin up. Let me make this easy for you. Yeah. And by the way, Chris Rock is the winner in it all. Is tickets for the Boston event. I think tonight or tomorrow has gone from a $125 a seat to a $1000 to see. After all this, I do not want to find out the whole thing was staged after all. I thought, but personally, I thought we'll look that was a girly slap. He looked at a little masculin. And he laughed at the joke and then he looked over to his wife and it was like that Queen of servant look and then he bolted for the stage. I just want the rights to their unfiltered, put the cameras in their house for a week. Hey, last shout out Paul. I think Jeff of Ohio made the point last week. Watching the Mississippi pro day was just so lengthy. It's nice when you just get a quick recap like you did earlier in the show. It's much more appreciated. You got it. Hey, thanks, Sean. Randall is up next in Arkansas. Hey Randall. Hello, Paul. Hey, I love your show, buddy. Thank you. Hey, I want to talk to you just a second about Jim. Jim, I had a GM Richard whoever he is. I had a friend on Twitter, tell me the other day that he has to call you for a verbal hug. So I'm just asking you to please hug me, I'm really good. The first time because nobody should be subjected to four calls a day from Jim. Do you think there should be a limit? Well, Paul, it's your show. I don't like when people call you inside to tell you how to run your show. But I think one ought to be sufficient. I mean, human decency,.

"Edge and then edge will continue to heal run and I was a good. Maybe he'll get a title shot. But he knows. But they're both championship, or I guess not. I don't know. Edge, edge edge edge, I love edge so much. I love the promos. I love this, this guy's just still like, he's just still doing his thing, man. It's in incredible. No matter what this guy does, as soon as you put a microphone in his hand, it's gold. And this was the right match, and I think absolutely agree that this was handpicked. Edge going, I want to work A.J. Styles. And I'm really glad that he's also brought into this build up, I don't want that almost bullshit. I'm so happy he's brought that up. No, I want A.J. Styles. And I was lucky enough to go to when the summer slams were in Brooklyn. They did, I think, three of them. I got to go to two of them. And the two best matches there was whether anyone wanted to admit them or not, or the John Cena matches. AJ and John, John and AJ was unreal. AJ, those were 5 star matches. AJ can get in the ring with anybody and it's gold. And you're putting him in a match with edge who's still got it? Despite taking that long lay off, having the neck injury, edge is still, I mean, edges coming off the Seth Rollins stuff. And that was tremendous. And he's just, I don't know what easy he's just timeless. Maybe him going to do Vikings for a while like just kept the fuel going and just kept edge in form. Just like punk when he comes back, it's just like, oh, okay. These two being on a card together always made sense. Yes, I agree with, I agree with Dre, this needed to be started sooner. Maybe you could have had some kind of rumble angle of AJ being in the rumble and edge, knocking him out or AJ knock and edge. One of the other and building it there, but I think we should just be all grateful that these two are still in prime condition. One miraculously and one who just has the longevity of A.J. Styles, he can still do this at his age and for how long he's been doing it. I think we should also just be very thankful that these two are going to get in a ring and have a WrestleMania match. And maybe bugging, but not this year, but last year's Royal Rumble. I think edge eliminated each time. Maybe. Because it looked like AJ got hurt. In the edge came in and did a spear on A.J. Styles and AJ landed weird. And I was like, oh shit, I think AJ's hurt, then edge eliminates him. And then I thought that was going to be a match last year. Talked about it on the show. Then it went different directions. So they did the last year at the royal Wimbledon. They had a Saturday. AJ and edge. So I feel like this is a long time coming. It'd be great if commentary reminisced about that. Yeah. Brought it up. Dre, shout out to your tweet about excalibur, if excalibur was on commentary. He's the best. He is the best. He would have referenced that 'cause I remember that clear as day. Edge when he made the big pop and he came in, A.J. Styles was the guy he had to face off with. He was a little, he did three spears. It was the last spirit of A.J. Styles. AJ landed wrong or like his collarbone. We thought AJ was injured. And edge eliminates him. Excalibur would have called back to that. But.

"Some of the other highlights for you working with? Oh, I got the wrestler with sting. You know, you know, I got the rest with A.J. Styles. Talk about that. That was my inspiration coming into the company, was I had my eyes set on AJ. You know, he was one of the greatest overall performers I've ever seen. The stuff he can do in the ring. He was great at technical stuff. He was great at high flying. He had the whole ball of wax. And the great thing about AJ was, you didn't have to do any work. I mean, when you rest of them, it was like a night off. He did all the bumping. He did all the selling. He did all the flying around. All you did was catch him. And I could go an hour and a half with AJ and I even break a sweat. But he be exhausted. But AJ, another wrestler that reminds me of AJ is Kenny Omega. Very much so. These guys are very, they're a step above everybody. For whatever reason, I don't know what it is, but they have the it factor. And these guys put on tremendous matches. I mean, you know, I'm not buying all the 6 and 7 star matches by Dave Meltzer, but I mean, the only person that gets like 6, 7, 8, 9 stars is Kenny Omega. And he deserves it. It's really incredible how how good he really is. Yeah. Was it ever frustrating for you being in TNA and you said that you said you were doing 2 million viewers and you did this great paper? Did you always feel like was it frustrating kind of be in the same spot still though all the time? Yeah, I mean, you know, the hardest part about TNA was, you know, we wrestled in a studio. It was a cool setup, but it only seated 7 800 people. You know, it's WWE, you're spoiled. You know, 75,000 fans in WrestleMania. You know, bound for glory, we would get, you know, maybe 6 or 7000. So it was a blow to the ego, but you had to learn how to deal with it. But you know, I really enjoy my time in TNA. I don't get it as much now when we first started AEW before it became as big it was. I'm sure you got this a lot too. It's like by the way, you guys.

"Out and immediately rolls up Jeff for the win. No so. Man, that sucked. Right. And it was a fucking roll up. Yeah. After the match, Sarah Schreiber asked hardy about being drafted to SmackDown, and he says, going to SmackDown might be the perfect opportunity to see a different side of Jeff Hardy. A different ego. So I guess he's bringing willow. Sure. They've been dreaming. He's been saying it in interviews, too. Yeah. I'm not very excited. But he was never willow in WWE. It was only what TNA TNA. So just like Matt Hardy brought, you know, his broken gimmick. Right. But he was woken. Things are about to be broken. Yeah. What? Woken. Oh. Sorry. That's what Michael Cole said when they returned. These are about yeah. And then they changed to woken. Yeah. So then Austin theory runs out and tells Jeff, I'm a big fan. Can I get a selfie? Just like, all right. And theory takes the picture, but then theory close lines him and my position for sure. Right. Theory lays down to Jeff's next to Jeff's dead body and takes another selfie. That was kind of funny as shit because he had the face paint and his eyes were closed. There's still eyes there. Jeff's face paint did not look cool this week. No. It's always a little crazy. It looks sloppy. Maybe he was a little, you know. Anyways, next up, Kevin Patrick interviews RK bro backstage, riddle tells Randy, it's great to have you back. Is that a snake in your pocket or are you just as happy as I am? Hashtag owners for Orton. Yeah. Yeah. Riddle rambles on, but orden says they will shut A.J. Styles and omas up at Saudi mania. And then he challenges omas to a one on one match tonight. We'll get back to that lane. Round two raw draft Seth Rollins. SmackDown keeps king nakamura and Rick boogs. Okay. Rock keeps Damien priest. Well, obviously, if SmackDown kept the IC title, they're like, once you draft the ice once you draft the mid card title, then we're gonna draft a mid card title. Exactly. And then SmackDown takes Seamus worst pick in the draft? Maybe. Round two? The steal of the draft? This was the shit of the draft. Yeah. The best biggest bust. Does that mean we're getting that tag team back? Oh my God, how dare you. How dare you? Cesaro has not been drafted to SmackDown yet. The officials are like, we are so happy to have Seamus and we can't wait to have his last 6 months in WWE. Yeah. Seriously. Next up we have Shayna Baszler versus Dana Brooke. Where the hell have you been? Who the hell cares? No, no one cares. Shayna makes Dana tap to the cure food of clutch in like 30 seconds. After the match, Shana's about to break Dana's arm on the steel steps, but do drop runs out for the same. Huh? And by runs out, you mean she comes out to her music. She kinda like hops and skips. Well, that's an entrance. And then goes to saver. Yeah. The whole time, Shannon's like, wow. Yes. Shana acts like she's leaving, so do drop checks on Dana. But then Shayna clotheslines do drop from behind. She deserves it. And do drop kind of no sells it. Like I'm too fat to feel that. And then the segment ends. Good night. Yeah. That was terrible. Credits. That was terrible. Who wins this feud? Who cares? No one. Yeah. Shana has to. We all lose. Next up, Kevin Patrick interviews haman and The Usos backstage, payment says I'm not only the special counsel to the tribal chief. I'm the warden of The Usos penitentiary. Patrick asked is that how you maintain Brock Lesnar's status as a free agent? And then The Usos look pissed at Heyman and they walk away from it. Yes, because he's the warden of the Uso penitentiary. He was able to get Brock Lesnar free agent status. Yes. What's it? What sense is that make? Yeah. Plus, they probably realize like, oh, you're the warden. We hate the warden. Right. We always want to beat him up. I'm always the one in jail, so yeah, fuck you. Or maybe he's like, no, you guys always let me out anyway. All right, I never face any consequences. That's true. Next up we have mansoor and Mustafa Ali versus angel Garza and in bertol carillo. You saw this two weeks ago. Umberto bashes all these head into the ring post while the ref's not looking and then Garza pins him for the win. All right, here we go. Round three. So real quick. Round three. We're gonna do a little trivia middle of the show. All right. We've got the hottest winning streak on either roster. Umberto. Three in a row. I should get like a quarterback just because of that. You got a quarter? You wanna make some dollar bet on how long they're streak last? Oh, that would be good . We have to. It's 'cause it's him. How many weeks till they're off TV and never seen it then? Probably. Angela Garth is like this guy. All right. Well, my days are numbered. Right. All right, round three, raw keeps A.J. Styles in omas. Hold on. Yeah. A.J. Styles. Arguably a top 5 talent to ever be in the company. Yes. After Sheamus. Right. After Sheamus and drafted as a tag team. Yeah, he's a tag team guy now. Wow. Yeah. SmackDown takes Shayna Baszler, Ross selects Kevin Owens. The street continues. All right, and so SmackDown takes them is, right? No. Right, they should. It's like when they do the mid car titles, they do them immediately back to back. Right. So it was like Kevin Owens and then we take them in. But The Miz isn't even a promo guy anymore. He's just like a fucking goofball and now he's doing Dancing with the Stars, so he's not on TV. He's not on WWE TV, right? John Morrison has fallen into main event. Yeah. They totally booked that feud for getting that The Miz was scheduled to be on Dancing with the Stars. Right, correct. They totally forgot that. As soon as one turned on the other, that's it. The feud was over. Yeah. Yeah. I defeated. Next up, SmackDown takes xia Lee from NXT. So I guess tea and Shaw's just may Ying and boa. Yeah. That's it. Yikes. Not good. One of the chances we never see never comes via yim treatment. Again. Okay, so the last draft because they didn't have a draft last year. The 2019 was the last one, right? I guess. Yeah. They drafted Arthur roux Haas to raw. And he was never seen. Never seen. Vanessa born got drafted was never seen. Oh my God. There was like, I think another person too, but like never seen again, future endeavor, goodbye. Santana Garrett was drafted, never seen on the show. After getting drafted and they were like drafted on the show, like all this is a big one. Right. Never seen again. Okay, I'm sorry. Remember? 79%. You can never see her. 62. Yeah. It's up there. Next up, we have an in ring promo from Big E, he said that Kofi and Woods are going to smack down. He brags about beating Lashley again. And then he asked Drew McIntyre to come out.

"It depends on your sense of humor, I guess. I get it. I don't know anything about it. But so he does some wrestling. Yes. He's also an F9. The last Fast & Furious movie. Oh, fair enough. Okay, so he's in a big blockbuster. He kind of things. And are there so who are your favorite guys working today? Let me see. I like A.J. Styles. By the way, before we got, but I forgot to send you any sort of prep. So agent styles? A, J styles? A.J. Styles. I'm a fan of him. What's his jam? He's actually just kind of a normal dude who does a lot of high flying stuff. Oh, he's just super athletic. He's sick. Yeah, he's super athletic. And he's not the most what's the most athletic guys probably ricochet, who is in the right circumstances is absolutely spectacular to watch as is John Morrison. The athletes that they have now are miles of head of what of that leads of yesteryear for sure. That's the one thing that wrestling has improved on. For sure. And I could just run a bliss to people and from that. But styles Shelton Benjamin, who's he used to, he was Brock Lesnar's roommate, and he is one of the best athletes ever to race a wrestling ring. It's ridiculous. So he's in his 40s. His name's Shelton? Shelton Benjamin. Yeah. Okay. And so when you say athletic, are they doing? Because you know, here's how little I know about wrestling. But they're jumping off the cords off the ring thing. And so they're doing that. They're jumping into each other. They're jumping over each other. Yeah. Are they also like what is the spectacular? What's the specky kind of stuff that they're doing? What's the spectacular physicality of an A.J. Styles or a Shelton Benjamin? Or a guy with an awesome name like ricochet? That's a great name, by the way. Good call. Wow. I wish that, man, what did ricochet, ricochet did some oh, okay. This is a simple one to describe. Okay, so it was a match. It's a lighter match. Basically the winner has to climb, you have to climb a ladder to get this suitcase off from that suspended like 20 feet in the air, okay? So you have to set up a ladder with 6 other dudes trying to kill you. So it's absolute car crash. Right. That sounds like a game. Anyway, so that sounds like a like an obstacle course. It's almost like it's almost like a giant erector set with our Legos or something, because people will set up ladders and different spots, spots, and you were like, well, what were they going to do with that? And they'll come back to it and use it in a way that if you've watched it enough, it's like, oh, I saw that coming..
