No Aura in the Press Room

0:03Peter Rosenberg! Shout out to that guy, yeah. The major stick. Oh my goodness. It's professional wrestling. The major king. 24 seconds. Chicken jam. A thousand percent confirmed. M-mage. Stay mage and enjoy yourself. M-m-m-m-m-m-mage.

0:33It's still rooted.

0:54It's still rooted. Sweet, sweet Peter Rosenberg. Shout out to that guy, Greg. I like delicious chicken. It was Rapport. It was Rapport. It's professional wrestling. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the world's number one, well, former podcast, now radio program. It's called She Pete right here on Pro Wrestling Nation 24-7, Sirius XM, channel 156. We are back. Hope you enjoyed last week's SummerSlam Spectacular. I'm your forever 24-7 champion, Peter Rosenberg. I'm being joined back in Philadelphia by the physically broken down after his car last week, at least, SGG. Yeah, I'm lucky to be back in Philadelphia.

1:43You know, we had some great interviews. I was buzzing. And then on the way out, my car started doing the shake-up fight to dance, and that's not what you want out of a motor vehicle. It started doing the shake? It did. It did, which I love when people mock the Jacob shake, but I don't love when my car gets in on that action. But it's okay now? It's at the shop. Oh, boy. So they figured out the issue. Damn, your car's in worse shape. So Seth Rollins is fine, but your car not doing great. Yeah, I would love for my car to throw down the crutches and come back home, but I don't think that's going to be.

2:22All right, and joining us still on the East Coast. I mean, this guy's, he's on the East Coast half the time we have him on the show these days. It's 38 at 35 Dipperstein. Hey, Dip. Hey, how are you today? Hey, how's Westchester? Very nice. Very nice. I'm here with, I'm in the Tannenbaum home with 30, 40 children. Have you seen Paul Heyman around? I haven't. I'd love to, though. I love that man. I love the wise man. Saw Paul Heyman a couple days ago at the radio station. He came up to ESPN New York to talk about the big SummerSlam weekend and the WWE to ESPN news, which I do. We are going to get to here off the top here in a moment.

2:59At least everyone's broken it down ad nauseum over the last couple of days. So I won't spend a lot of time on it. I do think there's one. But anyway, shout out to Paul Heyman. He brought his lovely. His son, Jacob, is a great kid. Jacob must be very tall at this point. Dude, Jacob, like a legit. I remember when he was a kid. He's an adult at this point. He's an adult. adult i i told him we we probably were seeing him when he was like he's 21 now so we were seeing when he was what eight nine younger i think i me i was seeing him when he was younger but you you it wouldn't mean you you didn't see him before me you only started getting good tickets when you met me no so you weren't like spending time in their home privately in the years before that what how many years right at the beginning though of meeting you i would see i had that's 2014 that's 2014 yeah so that means he was 10 yeah he was 10 and and the daughter is younger right yes so the daughter might have been like seven yes that is that's what i'm thinking they were they were in their 20s that's crazy absolutely insane um anyways guys so the news hit me out of nowhere dip you're always very hip to like what's going on in the like you had been dip had been telling me that the NFL network to ESPN thing was a thing for a long time.

4:16You didn't catch one whiff of the WWE ESPN thing, huh? No. Nothing. All weekend, didn't get a read on a thing. No. I don't know one person who had heard anything about this, and now PLEs will be a part of ESPN's direct-to-consumer platform, but there's a part that's being missed, I think, in this conversation. tell me sg maybe it's been covered in the discord by this point but a lot of people are freaking out going wwe does it again now they want you to pay 29.99 a month for their ple's but i think there's an important piece that people may be forgetting if you have espn already if you have cable and espn is in your cable package you will be able to go set a sign up for the espn app with your cable credentials.

5:11Yeah, that part has been completely missed. And I honestly, I blame Disney and WWE. I think they were so excited to announce that they were together and working on something that they didn't properly express that. Yeah, I think they expressed it in the way that you would express it to shareholders, to the consumers. And the shareholders, yeah, we care about all the different ways you're going to make money and the innovative and the dollars, dollars, dollars. And the consumers are like, wait, wait, wait. These dollars, dollars, dollars are coming from me. Exactly. They're coming from me. So this is what's coming out of.

5:48It should have went in reverse. Yeah. In the boardroom, you want to tell them, oh, don't worry. And they might have to pay$29.99 a month, huh? But in reality, most people, like Tip, you have ESPN, correct? Of course. On your cable. I have it on my cable. I have Hulu. I have Hulu. You have Hulu, which includes ESPN. I have all the ESPN channels, but I also subscribe to ESPN Plus for UFC. But you have ESPN as a channel in your Hulu. Yes, I do. So if you have that linear ESPN through your Hulu, through your DirecTV, through your Verizon Fios, when you go to this app, it'll say, do you have ESPN? You will say yes, and then you will give the password and log in for however you get that ESPN, and you will have it.

6:38i'm not telling you it won't be an annoying password forgetting nightmare of course it will be that's everything but that's part of the experience that's part of the experience but you will not have to pay 29.99 a month unless you don't have espn in any way if you have no espn then yes they're asking you to spend 29.99 a month it's so crazy i'm looking at these the dirt sheets of course are the last couple of days or whatever since they announced this now and it's like you know and on instagram and all it says is 29 people just do not understand the details of things they do not look into it they throw up these headlines and now they're complaining that it's going to cost them well here's the thing majority of people have espn yes am i wrong about this no you're not wrong no here's the thing dip about these dirt sheets right they're also charging people for this news or whatever whatever and they didn't have they didn't have this they didn't have the wwe the netflix thing they didn't have you know endeavor purchasing wwe they didn't have this wwe espn partnership and now the news is out they got to get their five dollars or whatever so they're just they're just scraping the internet for whatever information is out there and thrown in an article.

7:57I know, but Peacock costs money. Netflix costs money. Everything costs money. It is what it is, and if you don't have ESPN at all, and you're not interested in sports at all, then I feel for you, because$29.99 is a lot to get a PLE. But a lot of people are into sports. A lot of people need ESPN for the other stuff, and it's really not that big a deal for most people. Can I just say another thing? prior to a few years ago, pay-per-views for wrestling were$49.99. Hello? A decade now. Whatever. A decade ago, which we all remember, we were deciding whether we were begging our parents as kids to pay$49.99 or were we stealing it from the black box?

8:46Exactly. Which one were we doing? I was doing option two. I saw everything. People are complaining that some people may need to pay for pay-per-views now. Don't remember. I literally just have blinders on about 10 years ago when things were$50 each. And they also don't remember what AEW is charging. Yeah, right now. AEW is charging. Yeah, although I paid. I got. I was in England. I'm in England. I was in France for all in. And so I used, whatchamacallit, Triller. and I think it was$29.99 on Troller. By the way, I like that number for the reference. That's a good number. Me too. I really think 30 for AEW and WWE and by the way, and UFC too.

9:37They're nuts. UFC is nuts. That number that they're getting from people and that's not going to change by the way if they stay at ESPN. That deal hasn't been settled yet, right? UFC and ESPN? I don't think so. We don't know where they're going, right? tip you're the fan boy you don't know i don't the idea of paying 30 for a wrestling event and 80 for a ufc pay-per-view is is something that's something that's ridiculous it's no it's it's it's insane i i don't understand i really don't understand it and by the way i got news for you with the wrestling pay-per-views you're basically guaranteed satisfaction ufc it's a crap shoot every single time.

10:15I'm going to go see a couple pay-per-views coming up for UFC. I can't wait. I'm counting down the minutes already. By the way, it's the one... This is probably the quality of yours I hate the most. I don't think I hate another thing about you, but your obsession with this sport is... Don't get me wrong. I enjoy... Dip makes me argue things I don't even want to argue because he's so extreme. If Dip just said, I like UFC, I'd be like, me too. But when he's like, it's the greatest that it pushes me, SGG, to go the other way and go, what the hell is the matter? How can you go from hanging with the kind of crowd we have in wrestling to hanging out with some of the Neanderthals that go to real fighting?

11:00In Dips defense. That's not how I look at it. I enjoy the sport of fighting. I like combat. I'm a man of combat. You can't spell Mama Mage without MMA. That's true. that's very true sgg no i like it i just i love the idea of the science behind the whole thing and i the science behind the whole thing i love it i love it that's boxing there's i mean i know i know there is science to the ufc as well to mma as well but like i just can't remove what it feels like to be there like to know that like electric and everyone is screaming and yelling and it's fun as can be yeah but like especially when you're being treated like a king your one accidental bump that's what it is right there yeah by the way dip doesn't even know what it is to actually go so he's never actually been that especially the whole thing yes the especially was all that if you're being treated like a king if you're a regular person who spent by the way you think WWE tickets are expensive good god almighty you spent$800 to sit in section 347 47 and if god forbid you bump into the guy in the concourse you're gonna get your brains beaten out of your head oh stop get out of here with this wait wait i am i wrong that the crowd is different you're gonna try to argue right now that the crowd at ufc is not different than wrestling don't i don't care it means nothing to me yeah because you're sitting in the rich seats god forbid i wouldn't let natalie set foot on the concourse on the 300 level i'm ready to go next time we're gonna sit on the concourse we're gonna be amongst the people we're gonna have conversations or I have a great time.

12:36Speaking of MMA and wrestling crossover, did you hear Dom said about CM Punk the other day? No, what did Dom say? They're promoting Unreal and Punk is with Rhea. I'm going to paraphrase because I didn't hear the exact quote. Punk says, nothing exposed the business more than trying to convince people that Dom and Rhea were in an actual relationship. I know where Dom's going. The interviewer brought this up to Dom and Dom said, actually nothing exposed the business more than trying to go to UFC and then getting your ass kicked and then coming back to wrestling. By the way, how did Punk not know that if he said something like that, Dom wasn't going to have that chick chick right in the chamber?

13:24Listen, I think at this point, everybody needs to know this about Dominic Mysterio. He's not just young and rich and handsome because he's young and rich and handsome he has something in the chamber for everybody always if you like his soul he's you gotta really hit it on the bullseye if you're gonna come for dom because if you off a little bit or if he's able to dodge it he's coming back with a counter punch and it might be the ko it might be yeah because think about it dominant Mysterio has it all he's got he's got the the success he's great in the ring he's incredibly I guess popular is the wrong word but you get the idea he's just celebrated as can be yeah great aura great aura he no no longer Riz no now he has the aura dip so we told you last week I think on the show that Riz was dead and it's all aura you did and and and what have you experienced being around kids this week aura is on fleek one of the most dead words in the language you got to use a word as dead as fleek to to say aura and what aura aura's on fire no aura is i mean i i'm hanging with the with the the children tannenbaum right now all aura is is is is everywhere everyone's Not an aura.

14:51How old is the oldest Tannenbaum? 11. Jack. So at 11-year-olds are saying aura. They just came back from camp. So aura is like at camp, aura was on fire. So what is the context? And I'm sure people listening, by the way, if you're out there right now, in the second hour, we're going to take calls. And if you want to start lining up, 877-344-4893, 877-344-4893, if you want to jump on the lines. what is the context in which 11 year olds are saying aura though i'm trying to like understand if someone has an or like like an aura like or someone if someone's really good at sports or like they're just like a cool kid they have an or it's they have an aura or they have aura i don't know yeah i was gonna say is it they have is it or is it on is there an on or they just have uh i can't tell yet i have to clarify that what i've heard too is aura farming by the way let me just say or a farming just the way you just said that that uh that uh phone number was so great that was one of the great radio phone number reads i've ever heard in my life you were so sure of the numbers was there was there dare i say aura around there was natalie is 10 years younger than me my wife and and she's much cooler than me and i i'm so sad that I'm so old that now my younger wife won't know words that are slang.

16:20That's how old we are as a couple. This woman... I still ask you for the words. Well, yeah, you do too. Yeah, asking the wrong person is what it sounds like. Yeah, and Natalie, this woman's never said aura. Has she ever said crashing out? No, I guarantee you. Natalie, have you ever used the phrase, have you ever said crashing out before? do you think you've said crashing out she thinks she oh my do you know what she just said to me this is how washed my wife is she's like my sweet washed is a word too my sweet beautiful wife is the coolest I've always said one of the most authentically cool people I've ever met in my life can hang with anybody okay this is how washed she is when I just said have you ever used the word crashing out she went yeah yeah and she put her hands to her face like cm punk indicating go to sleep and she's like crash like go like go to sleep no that's not what crashing out means it doesn't mean going to sleep god i hate crashing we need to take it back though we need to make it mean that now now speaking of looking on hip scg i heard uh through the grapevine you had some some words about my yeeting on the post show last week yeah it was it was now i will say yeah your your dance moves was not the main event of bad dance moves because it was saturday night and then on sunday aj came out and did the eddie guerrero shake and then that stole the show that that was for sure so that that's really funny that you said that okay two things number one i know what i'm going to say right now will not be believed okay and if you're watching this video whenever emilio puts it on youtube then hopefully he can edit this part in jay uso made fun of me because instead of going up and down eating i was just like i had my hands in the position and i was just going back and forth with my hands in front of me now what happened was i thought he asked joe tess like he was asking joe tess to dance right i i didn't think he was asking him to eat and when joe tess didn't want to dance he said something to me i thought he was just gauging do you have rhythm I've eaten so he asked he asked he said do you have rhythm you got rhythm tests and I think he did ask you do you have rhythm do you have rhythm but by the way I didn't think he meant the yeet rhythm who am I Michael Cole of course I have the yeet rhythm I've done it mad times if he's paid attention I've already been on camera yeeting many times I've had to it's not my favorite thing to do I feel like a cornball but I've done it so just like you're just like your meniscus people are talking a lot about your eating quality well they are now because he kept making fun of me when I was doing the little dance I didn't think that was a yeet I was just being like oh yeah sure I got rhythm but I didn't know and now he thinks I've remixed the yeet into a side to side and Jay just would not let it go I mean SG he probably brought it up five times yeah it's not going anywhere I think he closed out the interview with it it's not now I will say this there are going to be people out there and SG you can probably fill us in because you're active on the internet i am sure there are people out there that did not like the uh disappearance of the press conference i think it was mixed right i think from wrestling media i think i saw some of them that were just like you know obviously they miss it they're gonna they're not not happy but they're just like you know they kind of i don't know what the word for it is but they noticed they're feeling the the they're feeling not be able to be in the room and ask those questions but i think a lot of the fans and the people that i saw online were just like we weren't feeling the press conferences anyway if you're if you're sitting at home dip this has to be a huge win for you you have hated the concept of press conference since aew introduced it whatever that was three or four years ago i do This was leaps and a formal produced show that includes Peter Rosenberg.

20:34What's better than that? Thank you. I'm not sure there's a better thing. But no, in all seriousness, having, you know, WrestleOps or whatever, you know, like, or whoever, you know, no disrespect to the dirts. but you know having them sort of ask questions that are a little canned or a little obvious or a little too provocative or a little much for you know putting the curtain back on kayfabe whatever whatever the case may be this format blows that out of the water 1000 percent there are segments it's timed it feels tight it feels good and you got peter rosenberg i mean what's By the way, even myself removed from a team like this.

21:19And I feel for the people who got like who were able to ask questions, you know, in those moments. Right. Like I know my guy, Adrian Hernandez, he really started to shine because of the press conferences in some way. He'd ask a good question. He'd post the question. There was upside for people. And I get that. however I my job when it comes to WWE is countdown and post show and so I'm always thinking about what can we do to do the most entertaining show that you want to watch when we would do those post shows and it would come to me Tess and E and we'd start talking we'd be all hyped up or Jackie sometimes and she fills in for Tess we're all hyped up talking about what happens and then it's like hey we're gonna throw it to the conference press conference it then goes to a quiet room inside where like a group of 20 people is awkwardly sort of let and let's be honest kind of pretending to be media okay the Associated Press isn't there it's it's wrestling fans but who are acting muted and professional sitting in a room it you talk about aura no aura or God there it was or a dead it completely killed the show and then the wrestlers would talk blah blah blah Triple H would give statements it just ended up sucking the air out of the room and now after the show I mean listen the countdown is great guys but let's be honest the moment in which fans really want to hear and talk about wrestling is after the big event so the post show SGG feeling like the countdown show makes way more sense this is it I just got to say you guys called me crazy for my Thunderdome take but now everybody seems to love that they Thunderdome the post show and put it at Thunderdome it's a real crowd it's a real crowd they pulled it out of the press they're producing it more it's more contained you're welcome McGegory going on here he said it in text the other day so for those of you who are new to Cheap Heat Live, you're listening to us on Sirius.

23:31SGG and Dip, as time goes on, you'll hear do their share of fighting. Okay? You've been behaved this Sirius era. Yeah, you have been. In the Sirius era, you guys have been behaving. But one of the biggest fights they ever had, and I was locked in lockstep with Dip on this, was that SGG had a period, and we're not going to get into it because he'll still defend it, in which he said he preferred the Thunderdome to live Raw on television. yeah and and this weekend after the post show aired he sent a text that was like yeah they went thunderdome and i didn't dip i didn't know what the hell he was talking about it's the opposite of thunderdome thunderdome was basically the press conference it was inside and nothing and now we're outside in front of a huge crowd it's anti-thunderdome but i like that you managed to flip it and somehow turn it into your old argument that's if you think if you think i it take your credit you really it's no it was it was impressive um so raw this week guys to me that was a better post mania raw for summer slam than the post mania raw was uh sgg am i am i crazy i thought it was one of the best raws in a long time no you're not crazy and i mean before the break you mentioned uh hulk hogan being laid to rest and i think since we're talking about dead bodies We have to start with what Becky Lynch did to Nikki Bella because, boy, oh, boy, that was a murder.

24:57And live internationally on Netflix, it's just I've never seen anything like it. Obviously, what you're referring to is when she got into the conversation about biggest couples in the history of WWE and said it could have been you. but then she waved her hand in front of her face and said but you can't see him anymore yeah by the way that was really well worded because everyone knew you could probably start to feel uh oh we're getting closer here we go it was all in the wording of how you said the John Cena thing oh you can't see him anymore that's all she had to say I just need you guys to appreciate the brilliance of it.

25:45It's not just that it was referenced. It's how it was done. And now, by the way, we are so off to the races for an incredible match at Clash, which I'm guessing where they will get this thing started. They didn't announce it, did they? I don't think they did, but they need to hurry up and get this going because I'm in. I am so in. And by the way, I mean, what a waste that Nikki Bella wasn't on the card at SummerSlam. But to know that this is the thing, though, they have so many people right now that like when L.A. Night showed up on Raw on Monday, I remember I had the same thought. I went L.A.

26:28Night, two days at SummerSlam. Didn't see him once unless it was a Slim Jim commercial. That's how stacked things are right now that you have really big names. But in the case of Nikki, I find it a little irritating because she just came back. She's a legend, right? She's in her early 40s. We don't have forever with her. Let's get Nikki going. But can you guys believe that Nikki and Becky has never happened? No, I cannot. It feels like a big feud. It feels big. That feels like two legitimate stars. And I really think Becky did the best she could do with Lyra to make it impactful and to help grow Lyra Valkyria.

27:12But now it is time for Becky to move on to something that's big for her. You know what I mean? I think this is a really good direction for them to go. They can have fun every week with this. And it's big for the title, right? It's the Intercontinental Championship. oh becky is as mage as mage can get in the women's division and she's the champion she's going to be defending against the hall of famer so whichever way it goes that title means a lot no disrespect to lyra i think no it's but it means it is that though right now i don't want to diss lyra at all but the truth is she is a young talent who when she won that title the average like not hardcore fan was only vaguely familiar with who she was so now to have that title go to becky boom but now becky and nikki fighting over the intercontinental championship yes that that to me is that title arriving if you will yeah i mean where does bailey go from here is the question they had their little that little blow off in the hallway her and lyra like you're not my you know you screwed this all up for me like look look what came of our alliance nothing where does bailey go from here man i mean it's a great question i just hope i hope bailey doesn't start to like fade into the background in some way um because i think she's just gotten better with her experience agreed yeah she's awesome to answer your question dip or to speculate i guess with an answering question i used to not feel that way and now i do oh i know i don't think either one of them need it but um becky and bailey as a team i think could be could be huge because sure becky's been antagonizing bailey basically this whole way took her out of wrestlemania but um you know we've seen it time and time again where once the baby face is like you know what so and so is right and then they join up that could be it's worked great for for a lot of people i mean scott steiner right he turned on his brother and joined the nwo after nwo whooped their ass and then that involved him into big papa pump i could see you know and there's countless other examples i could see becky bailey linking up for a power a power team i don't know that's interesting i they're gonna have to keep the momentum going with lyra in some capacity now that she's sort of solidified as like a like a legitimate main roster person that is a good and every there isn't that a single person who does not admit or have the take that lyra valkyrie is a great in-ring wrestler no she's great that everyone likes it yeah there's no question the beauty of the intercontinental championship is that there's another title for the women to go after so all right she can't go after the women the intercontinental championship that doesn't mean her championship aspirations have to be dead they could move her up they could send her to feud and swim in the in the deep waters with ria and eo and naomi and everybody at the top of the card it feels fast but they could i think she could although i think like i think they've cleared i mean i could be wrong but stephanie to me seems like the clear next so i and i thought we may i thought we were maybe going to get yet i wonder exactly where so stephanie will get the naomi match at clash yeah and then that'll be interesting to see where she goes because i don't think she'll beat naomi i don't know man i feel like they need to even though like putting the rocket ship on stephanie vicar i guess makes sense at some at some point soon but like immediately having her wrestle for the title now at clash is like oh okay do we know enough about her yet i don't have a title match i know it's like for her to lose she's not gonna win no i don't i wouldn't think so uh so it's like what's the point yeah like does it do any favors to any for anyone because like it doesn't it doesn't necessarily do her a favor i suppose you know what you could do though you could have a match with her where they tell a really interesting story and she battles hard and comes up just short against naomi and it does end up building her and that's the only way to do it and naomi gets a good win because like naomi naomi continues to need credible i she still basically has stolen a couple of wins and then won the briefcase.

31:36Is she still working heel or not? I don't know. What is this? Naomi? Naomi? Yeah. She's definitively working heel. It's just that people are cheering for her. Yeah. It's very hard to tell, in my opinion. I think she needs to lean further into the heel stuff. I think she's leaned pretty far. I don't think so. I think she has, yeah. The only thing that was not heel was the thing with her dad from the weekend, which was awesome, but obviously having a beautiful moment with your father is inherently a babyface kind of experience and when she's being the character i think she's very but i don't know i see what you're saying because she is funny and her she wears the the caution thing is very like kid sort of friendly and then she rides around on her little suitcase like there is a lot that makes it sort of funny and i see what you're saying that can in some ways start peeling away at the heelishness of it to some degree that's how i feel i like naomi but i'm just saying it's it doesn't feel like a she doesn't feel evil to me she seems like a great girl she will well she is a great not but that part is true um hulk hogan officially laid to rest on uh tuesday of this past week in in florida um i i didn't see a ton but i know that i saw you know i saw triple h was there i saw vince mcmahon was there who spoke briefly oh lawler was there look like it i saw some pictures online of some people i was trying to decipher who they were how big did it did it look it didn't look huge but i i it seemed well attended in some context um i i i saw it was it was nick hogan of course was at uh both days of of summer slam um you know they didn't they didn't do much of on tv sug was there like a Hogan package not that I saw yeah it seems like they really um it seems like they really did the Hogan stuff on the tv with the with the 10 bell and they ran the package and then by Summerslam not much there but it says here in this people article that uh Hogan's ex-wife Linda Hogan uh was in attendance of course a lot of the news has been around his daughter who Brooke who obviously they were not in in close contact um but yeah i thought the most interesting piece was vince mcmahon and vince asked the crowd i guess to give him uh one last standing ovation and and seemed to be very uh emotional obviously it must be weird wait vince asked the crowd to give vince mcmahon one last thing oh by the way that's an appropriate question but no i think he asked for them to give Hogan one last standing ovation but yeah it is interesting because the ups and downs those two guys had but like they are just so connected I mean is Hogan is Vince is Vince connected to anyone in wrestling more than Hulk Hogan no no he is there they are forever connected and I don't know if we talked about this on the show anyway it publicly at all, but they almost were forever connected because apparently as Hogan was taking his final breaths or, you know, we'll just say on the way out, right?

34:54Vince was in a bad car accident that left his car mangled and you know, it looks bad, like the pictures of his car. It looks like he could have passed away literally at the same time that Hogan was passing away. Yeah, that was apparently a really scary situation. The pictures of that accident looked really bad. SUG took a scary situation and made it hilarious, though. And he told me that the article that came out, the person who was in the accident went out publicly and said, personally, I was unscathed. Never, never do that. And lawyer Stack Eye Gregg made both of us promise that if, God forbid, we were ever in some sort of accident with a billionaire, we would never come out and say publicly that we were unscathed.

35:45Let the hospital determine how scathed you are. There's no visible scathing of any kind. Oh, no visible. No visible. No visible scathing. Sure. Go get a check, though. I'll find out. Because you might, like, have you ever cut your finger or something like that and you didn't realize you were cut and then you saw it and then it hurt and all that? You could be scathed and not realized. So go to the hospital, get a check out, find out the level of scathing before you update your friends on Facebook. How long have you known me? You know I don't do manual labor. I've never had a cut on my finger. Well, that's why he wouldn't know that it's there because it just sneaks up on him.

36:22How would he possibly cut his finger? It's basically impossible. He grips the coffee creamer too tight when he's unscrewing the lid. That's the situation. Let me tell you something. Ripping off of that foil of the coffee creamer, there absolutely has been some times when I was nervous that I was going to either strain a muscle or cut my finger. Well, I'm telling you this right now. Your tolerance is not built up because you don't do the main. So that's exactly how you would tear through some skin. As someone who's as washed as I am right now, let me tell you, Dip, God forbid, unfortunately, you are going to have a washed injury like that because you haven't worked out in literally your adult life practically.

36:59So you're going to be doing something at some point. And like someone called my show this week when we were talking about moments like this happening. Someone called the show and said that when opening a pickle jar, they twisted too hard and blew out their back. what i'm when i'm reaching for the remote and i'm for two days forget it in bed i'm reaching for the remote the number one the number one best one i've ever heard though and the caller insisted this was this wasn't this time this was another time we had this conversation we bring this up regularly being washed and having injuries someone called you're loving washed right now you're all about washed well something's up with washed well because i the reason this is his experience It was the experience of this week.

37:44There's nothing more washed than trying to hop upstairs and injuring yourself. But apparently there is because someone called our show once and said that they bought a pack of Bubblicious. No. And chewing the Bubblicious dislocated their jaw. No. Yes. And promise. They were not joking. They were dead serious. They legitimately injured their jaw on Bubblicious. I stepped on an ant and broke my toe. Right. People are doing, once you get, 35 is about the line. So, SGG, you got to be careful, bro. You're into your late 30s. You're putting a lot of physical weight on those knees. You could have a meniscus situation.

38:31I woke up with shoulder pain the other day because I rolled on it and slept on it. Now the shoulders hurt from sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. What's worse than a sleeping injury? That's bad. Nothing worse. Welcome to my life. Every moment. Every morning, there's something new. I'm not saying it lasts forever or it's that painful, but every single morning when I get out of bed, there is something different about my anatomy. Up, up, my shoulder. Up, oh, I have a little thing over here. There's always something going on. Congratulations to Charlotte and Alexa, not only for winning the championships, but I really feel like they stumbled into something very cool.

39:13Like, them getting thrown in a tag team is the definition of generic, we don't know what to do with someone, let's just throw them together, come up with some hybrid name, and hope it works out. And in this case, the Charlotte Alexa thing guys really benefited them both to me. Like, immediately. It was one of those rare cases where one plus one equals three. They became bigger in the moment and feel more like to me right now. Now, if they go too long with it, it could not work, whatever. But right now, SGG, how do you feel? I feel like Alexa and Charlotte were both elevated by joining each other.

39:59Yeah, I agree. I agree. And I mean, I didn't have it in the cards for them to be champs, but I am actually enjoying this championship run. Although I do have to say, not even the championship run, but just them as a team and how they're developing this friendship. But I do have to say, though, with them actually getting the titles now, again, I can't help but think about that whiteboard at Unreal that they showed with the potential WrestleMania matches. and one of them was Charlotte and Becky Lynch against Io and Asuka for the Women's Tag Championship so I wonder how much did they have to remix whatever that storyline was going to be to get us here or was it just like a simple here's the thing if we're ever going to get Charlotte and Becky together I think I'd like to see them go to war against each other first like they need to have their knock down drag out rocky apollo fight before they team up like rocky apollo afterwards it has to be we need closure to the endless story and as everybody who pays attention knows and hopefully unreal will dive into this at some point i'm sure they will they got to get a season two because the whole shows at work um they will they will you know get into the charlotte becky real life everyone knows they have issues in real life that needs to culminate with a big story and match and then they need to come together as a tag team to me that and by the way then go on like an epic run as a tag team like a year you know where they're really to me that would be really special and have people accepted that yet i mean i heard our colleagues i heard dave lagreca get on the air first and i don't know maybe dave has switched his tune but there were a lot of people screaming bloody murder about unreal and i'd like to say two things about it number one i love it number two it's a work bro yeah it absolutely is it what did they should you what did they give up what did we get what did we learn what was truly exposed about the business in unreal what that they have a writer's room, that they talk about who should win something.

42:27You think they really showed us the intense conversations from the writer's room? No. And I'll even say this too, right? With specifically the Cena heel turn thing, right? They mentioned, oh, the plan was maybe originally Kevin Owens accepting The Rock's offer and walking out with the championship and yada, yada yada and i'm gonna call bs on that right because they said oh we didn't know until shortly before chamber what john was gonna do with the heel turn his promo after the rumble months before the the actual heel turn was the first step in him being heelish the hustle loyalty respect went right out the window he said i'm in the chamber y 'all do what you want figure it out who the other five people are going to be but i'm taking one of these spots i'm gonna win and i'm gonna go on to the main event of wrestlemania and that's the first flash we get of heel john cena so the idea that kevin owens was might have been the one to take it and john cena wasn't gonna do that i'm not buying it because they had already abandoned the mr hustle loyalty respect but for the show and for the story yeah it's great when they say oh i had this epiphany and then this came together and then we had to put it together really fast because that's what we do this high stakes you know high speed environment and i think there is some of that in play but like you said it's all still at work what they build in the lore to me it sgg the thing is this if you show me gunther playing video games and rolling around with his kid i don't like that i don't want to see that exactly but they didn't show that right they showed gunther they showed cm punk go to gunther and be like hey what did you guys think about blood and gunther's like it looked good that they didn't give us anything they didn't show anybody acting like charlotte gives you the real charlotte all the time that's who she is every interview she does she lets everything go so they didn't take anyone who's never been exposed and expose them and even john cena when they asked him a question i think about like the heel turn or something like that he was just like he tries to give a compelling answer and he asked i think the director whoever he's like is that good enough for you and the director's like well that's the answer that we got but he starts that answer off by saying i'm not gonna go i'm not gonna go there because people don't need to know this i heard in the second season that there's going to be a whole episode on uh the viking writers living in their natural habitat is that true which we've never seen before we're gonna we're gonna go into the cave we're gonna see them um eat giant chicken bones.

45:16Are Vikings cave dwellers? Yes. Yes, they are. And they're conquerors of other villages. In the caves, though? The villages in the caves? Yes. In the caves. I'm not excited to see them in their natural habitat and go behind the scenes of the Viking Raiders, but apparently that's what we're going to get. At least one episode of that. I'm here to predict. I do not think we will get the Viking Raiders. Although I will tell you, actually, they would be a great episode of Unreal. Because they're great guys. Well, not only that, because they really do the Viking thing in real life. Like they go do the cosplay Viking stuff on the weekend.

45:59Like that actually would make a really funny episode. If you see that in real life, these guys kind of live it all the time. Like that is a great hybrid version of it. so i know the show's coming back there's there's no question obviously it was renewed already it's official yeah nice yeah okay so i'm not letting the cat out of the bag that i definitely saw them they're they're all over the place it's it's going down i think some eagle-eyed viewers spotted the director of unreal and like some wwe footage that they posted after the cash in they recognize the director of unreal yeah that's where we're at here with this it's it's intense hey the curtain is back people are people are peeking behind the curtain they said the funniest thing though is just seeing people get so crazy about it and the people who generally got the most crazy about it are the people who for a living talk about exposing the business so like i mean you know for every moment when you have a a cornet type or whoever the the old school cats are i don't know if cornet like the show or not but whoever these are always the people who get the most high and mighty about old school stuff are always people who are weakly exposing.

47:14Let me tell you stories about back in the day. I just love that P.S. Hayes was like such a baby face in the show. To me, it was just a neat... He means so much to these people. P.S. Hayes is just very loved backstage by everyone. He is such a adored sort of... He's become such an adored sort of character backstage. I loved that moment where you could tell he was being legitimately congratulated for the masterpiece that was the triple threat at WrestleMania, which he produced, the men's triple threat, that is. By the way, if you haven't watched, because you were out of the room when we did the interview with Rhea Ripley last week, the interview is now up on YouTube and SGG with the big question to Rhea.

47:56It hasn't gotten picked up yet. I'm hoping the blogs will all see it, where he asked her, was she happy or disappointed when the Mania match became a triple threat with Io because it looked like it was going to be Bianca Rio one-on-one and yes she gave a really compelling answer so if you guys are out there listening you haven't heard it yet you can go find the podcast of course wherever you find podcasts and you can always go watch the video on YouTube our interview with Rhea is up right now and the interview with Jacob Fatu we love you guys stay mage join us in the discord send your emails of course as well to Rosenberg Wrestling at gmail.com and then sgg enjoy yourself take it easy fellas
