Talking Ringside Pass 5 with Danhausen / The Vision is back / All In Recap

22:09O'Shea:So it's a weird thing. Oh, the guy in movies is looking at special effects. Yes. In this instance, you're looking too deeply, and I'll tell you why. Because we know the Usos ain't from Alabama, right? We know most of these people aren't from the cities that they're wrestling, yes or no? So anytime something happens when someone's car gets damaged, why do I care? This is not my whip. And it's the second time they've done it, too, by the way. Like Vince McMahon's Corvette, when it got the, yeah, okay, that was his ride. Yeah. That was Vince's car. Eddie Guerrero's lowriders. Those are Randy's car that Kofi poured over.

22:50That was Randy's car. Yeah. Of course you would have a reaction. I'm on the road, dog. You're blowing up a rental car.

22:56O'Shea:How's that affecting me? Yeah, I'm looking. It had to be Jacobs. He looked the most shocked. Did you not get the insurance? Because that's a mistake right off the bat. But two, excuse me, somebody blew my car up. I'm pretty sure you're going to get away, Scott. You're not going to be charged for it. And it was on TV. Yeah. I got proof. That's one thing. We always suspend. Yeah. Joke's on you, Royce. You got to deal with the Hertz company. Yeah, but it's just like, yeah, why would they care? This is not their car. I don't care that you blew it. It was a minor inconvenience. Like I said, your car and your city that I know that you're a car, yeah, okay, I'm going to be mad.

23:34Blowing up the rental. Hey, who getting an Uber? We're all good. You had your stuff in there? Visually, it was great, but it just doesn't make sense. Pictures afterwards. It just doesn't make sense that someone really care about you blowing up my rental car. 2026. What else we got? Going back to Saturday night, we also had... Oh, yeah. The name is the area code. Oh, okay. What area code? Well, let me continue reading that. Yeah, what? You keep going, and I'll keep going.

24:08O'Shea:Yeah, whoever fans are, I know somebody's screaming, that's me, man. Oakland. Oakland? Yeah. 9-4-6 is Oakland? Apparently, yeah. Damn, I don't know nobody from Oakland. That just seems not right. You know, I'm going to look at my phone and see if I got any 9-4-6. Shout out to Oakland. Shout out to the yay area. But yeah. Oh, I do. Oh, I know for sure. I do. Yeah? Who do you know? This has gotten real personal. Although this is not the error code. This is just 946 is the number. Yeah, yeah, see? I ain't got nobody from Oakland in my phone. Shout out to Too Short. Too Short. But what else happened?

24:45O'Shea:Oh, yeah, we also had a championship match. Vaqueror and Liv Morgan. Woo, let's talk about it. And it went exactly how you knew it was going to go. Judge Menango come out. Judge Menango call Stephanie Vaqueror. Stephanie Vaquera don't get the title and I hate that for a split second towards the end I was like when Raquel got kicked out I was like is it going to be crazy enough where Vaquera is going to pull nope there we go I thought there was a chance of her winning because as Becky pointed out you know episode 100 guest Becky Lynch you might have heard of her she was trying to she was trying to kind of form an understanding with Stephanie.

25:33Not even a team, but just an understanding with Stephanie. But Stephanie don't want no part of it. Becky being the vet, she already knew what time it was. She knew what was going to happen. Don't you watch the show? Yeah, she's like telling Stephanie, hey, I'm going to help you, then you give me a shot. Which, by the way, seems fair. If I know you're going to get jumped in your title match, and I say you shake, I'm going to come out and help you, and all I'm asking for is you're going to have to defend the title anyway. So just give me the first shot. That's actually nice. I would use it. It's honestly a nice gesture.

26:02Right? Like I'm not, I'm going to have to, if I win defended anyway. So I'm just going to defend it against the person who helped me win. But Stephanie doesn't want no part of that. So Becky tried to tell her what time it was. She didn't want to listen. I did think because Becky said they're going to South America, they're going to Chile. I figured, all right, maybe this is, maybe Steph will get this belt back and then do the tour. Or like I said, with Penta a few weeks ago, Maybe he beats Roman in Mexico City. He becomes champion. Maybe Stephanie wins the belt in her home country. That would be crazy.

26:35O'Shea:Still open. Still open. Still open. Still open. But when I saw Raquel get kicked out. Hi, Raquel. And Becky was out there with just Roxanne. I was like, ooh. But then Roxanne dipped out and Becky chased her. And I was like, ah, no. And then bam. That did not happen. But care. You'll be okay. She's going to be okay. So happy to see the devil's kiss. two times on the announce table on the announce table Cameron overall 99 understood the assignment my G and then yeah Liv is still on her run of being the greatest of all time and all of that if you don't agree with her somebody just beat her and then that would be it but ain't nobody beat her so what do you want us to do granted there hasn't been a lot of defenses in there but Hey, hey, hey.

27:27Is that her fault? I don't think that's her fault. Right. Let me ask you something. If you're making a movie, right, and I'm in charge of the call sheet. All right. And I don't put you, we don't do any scenes with you. That ain't my fault. For a couple days. It's not your fault.

27:42O'Shea:It ain't my fault. Did I do that? It ain't my fault. It's not your fault. You didn't ask for that time off. No. Right? That's true. So you can't really blame Liv for this. No, but the IWC will. And they do. And they do. Yeah. Trouble, trouble. That's me. What else? What else? Trick Willie got his belt back. Wait. Hold on. Because I got a bone to pick with production of WW. What's your bone? I think I know where your bone. We knew he was going to get it back. Because? The belt is still furry. How hard is it? You all got a replica in the back to give Corbin so he can have a strap. Like, come on.

28:25Put a little, you know. Especially when he won the belt. And the first thing he said was, I'm going to, like, change this belt back to what it was. Yeah. And he never did. He never did. Because it was a rental. I know. You know, because you were there. You know there's a U.S. spinner belt laying around somewhere. Man.

28:41O'Shea:Why don't I bring that out? Yeah, bro. You sell them. You sell them at the event. But Baron Corbin with a white fur belt, that's not even his aesthetic. Yeah. Like, he don't wear white. You know, so. We knew this was just going to go back to Trick, and it's those little details that, like, it helps the show, y 'all. It helps the show. So, yeah, the belt that Trick originally had, without the fur, just give that anything but the custom belt that is specifically custom to Trick Willie. It's going right back to you. I'm not mad, though. Trick Willie got the belt back because it felt like Trick Willie was just on this rocket, right?

29:18And then he loses a couple times to Corbin. And it feels like it was slowing down a little bit. And you know what? I ain't like that.

29:24O'Shea:Yeah. I ain't like that at all. No, it's like when you got a title, when you got the, you know, it's always the big boy and then it's either Intercontinental or U.S. That rocket, if it kept going up, the only place it could go is world title. Yeah, and like it wasn't time, you know? So you got to plateau that a little bit. It wasn't time, but we still need him to keep the momentum. Yeah. Give him a long reign. And maybe that's what he's in for right now. You establish Corbin as a threat unless you have Lil Yachty. And, yeah. That's the other thing. How about that Hurtsurana? Listen, props to Lil Yachty, right?

30:02Yeah, man. Because I was thinking, like, I don't want to see Lil Yachty wrestle. Five minutes. I don't care. Like, no offense. I just was like, I don't want to see. But I got to be honest, your man Lil Yachty, he did all right for himself.

30:14O'Shea:It's his thing. Five minutes. So I will take back my initial thought. He did a great job. He didn't go over too much, which would have been too unbelievable. The nutmeg was perfect. Perfect. He played his part well, and he just had to survive. Yeah. Like Taz said, survive if I let you. Baron could have taken him out, but he wanted to play the game too much. Yep. Just like all villains do. Right. All villains in movies, right? They got to give you that monologue, right? They could have just been pop, pop, or blah, blah, blah. But no, they got to sit here now and catch you up with everything. Yeah.

30:50All the ways that they could have got you, but they didn't. All the things they want to do. And then all of a sudden, because they took too long, bam, here comes the hero.

30:58O'Shea:Yeah, bro. It's a movie making 101. And then once they save the hero, he knows your whole plan and he's going to beat you there. And that's what happened. That's what happened. Trickle, he got that belt back. So hopefully, you know, we'll see a long reign. Some good matches still to be out there made. Fortunately, you know, some of the guys he could have made magic with are not there anymore. Ilya Dragunov. But, yeah. Where's Mello? Where's Melo? It's time. Something. Propel Fitness Water. With Gatorade electrolytes, zero sugar, and vitamins, Propel hydrates better than water to help you get the most out of your workout and get back to your best self.

31:34What propels you? Propel with Gatorade electrolytes. From athletic stuff like a full-court pickup game, swish, to athletic-ish stuff like a half-mile stroll. Get those steps in. Head to Sierra or Sierra.com for the brands you want at the prices that let you do it all. From athletic to athletic-ish, Sierra's got it. All right. Bronson Reed's back. We know that. The baddies won. Jade, Meech, and BFAP, they won their match. And then, Randall K. Oh, yeah. Randall K. and Cody Raheem, man. They put it on.

32:11O'Shea:I loved the ending of Sunday night. I loved it. Because everybody sees Cody in Georgia. Cody in Atlanta is laid out. With his Atlanta Falcon, Sting Jacket. Yeah, bro. They got it all laid out for him. And surprise, surprise. And that is the way to do it because the way Cody was talking, the way Cody been talking, he was like, Sunday, the Legend Killer is going to get killed. You know, doing all that gapping. If you make Randy lose, then what? Now what? What do you do? So it's the right call. It was handled the right way. Everybody goes home disappointed. Half of them are happy. Yeah, I mean, it's Randy.

33:03It's Randy. I love how the crowd, there was a point the crowd was a little dead to me, right? And then all of a sudden it picked up to the This Is Awesome chant. Yeah. I was like, all right, now they're feeling this. And they need to be feeling it. Yeah. Yeah, and Cody Pye, he went for the kick, didn't go through with it.

33:19O'Shea:Yeah, that, bro. Or did he kick him? No, no, no. Yeah, he didn't get to kick him. Didn't get to kick him. And I love this teasing of Cody going dark, you know, Cody going dark. Now, I think in an episode or two, I think I'm going to show no contest my plan for what I would do with evil Cody. I think it will make some good internet. This is the plan that you shared on the WrestleMania bus. Yeah, I've had it tucked for about a year and a half. It was this past WrestleMania. Yeah, and I think it would be great content for no contest. My evil plan for Cody Rhodes. All I'm going to say is this, man.

34:03I don't know why fans do it all the time. They build someone up. It's just like life. You build someone up, and then once they reach a peak, then you want to cut them down. Cena, Roman, and now Cody, right? But like I said with Roman Reigns, when all the fans for years were like, make him a hill, I'm like, be careful what you wish for. Because if you think he wins all the time now, what's going to happen when he decides, oh, I'm going to cheat? And then you see what happened. How many days? Ooh. 1 ,000? 1 ,300. In 16 days. Yeah. Damn. Because for years, you wanted this man to go hill. And then he went hill and went on a run.

34:41I'm telling you right now, if you have not seen Hill Cody Rhodes, and I don't mean pre-Stardust, and I don't mean Stardust. I mean the Hill Cody Rhodes that went to the Indies in New Japan and in AW, where she wasn't a Hill because they wanted him to go Hill. So you got to say the Indy run, the New Japan Cody run where he was a Hill. let me tell you something I don't know if a lot of you are ready for eventually what is gonna happen when this dude does turn ill because he is going to eviscerate people on the microphone he's gonna be mean, nasty, and evil and I'm gonna sit there and I'm gonna laugh and I'm gonna love it because you asked for it and now you gotta deal with it

35:25O'Shea:bro, you know how I end, how I I forget when I started doing it but how I have ended every recent episode of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast is how the IWC and just wrestling fans in general, how they act with stars. Have a good day, but not too good. Who the hell you think you are? Dude, you just wanted me to have all this, and now that I got it, it's like, who are you doing? Somebody needs to knock this guy down. Dude. I mean, we're at WrestleMania, and Seth Rollins is in the ring and he's got a mystery opponent. By the way, I'm telling you, people will now rewrite history and say everyone knew that was Cody.

36:08That is a bold face lie because I have video. You can hear people around me yelling out names of people who they think it could be. Undertaker, Cena. I heard like five, six different names. Not one person, I knew it was Cody because I, you know, not one person said Cody Rhodes. And then that music hit, people still didn't quite know because they weren't familiar. there was no whoa because people didn't know that they were supposed to whoa they were loving Cody they were loving the story but now

36:37O'Shea:yeah bro because people only like the like bro they love you climbing the mountain it is not about the destination it is always about the journey and so all the why why wouldn't they put him on. Why wouldn't they have him win it here? What? Because, bro, as soon as we give it to him, we know how y 'all gonna do. A famous professional wrestler, I forget who it was, he called you guys exactly what you are. Fickle. Fickle. I believe that was Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson. One of those guys. I get them mixed up. Well, actually, I think it was Daniel Bryan. Yes. I think it was him. You know, I've never seen them in the same room.

37:24O'Shea:the same time. I heard they were brothers. So, yeah, he called you all fickle. And that's exactly what you are. Because, like, I get it. It's just the more interesting story when you see somebody fighting and clawing and getting there. And that's why they stretch it out. That's why Roman wins at 39. That's why 40 felt so good. Right, right. And you gotta know that. And it's... I'm going to be real. It's kind of hard keeping people interested as a baby face champion. Like how many times are you going to tell me to say my prayers and eat my vitamins? Especially in today. Back then you could tell me that for, you know, five, six, seven, eight years.

38:11Now these new group of people, man, I don't know about y 'all. After the pandemic, y 'all were.

38:15O'Shea:That's why the people who have staying power are your antiheroes, your Stone Colds, who's like, yes, he's a face, but he also is really mean.

38:33O'Shea:That's where Roman, the pocket that Roman is in right now. Like, yeah, he might snap one day. You know, like, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm not going to boo it. and uh yeah cody is the you know the million dollar smile american flag you know like dude's got the white picket fence you know this man off yeah well like i need no i need that i need that nightmare that nightmare has you guys keep teasing it keep teasing it you know i'm gonna write this down so I don't forget. I've got it on my phone. I've got one of Cody's New Japan promos, which I'm going to post on our Instagram after this today.

39:17Cody goes on to basically talk about everyone who's one of Dusty's kids, except that he's his real MFing kid. Yo! Check out our Instagram page. I will post that at some point today, and you can see what time Cody Rhodes is on when Raheem decides to go to the dark side.

39:40O'Shea:Absolutely, man. Yeah, we will watch. We'll be intrigued, but right now, Randy Orton up. Yeah. Randy Orton up. Because Randy, what's he at now? 13, right? 13? 14. He's at 14. Yeah, he's looking for 15. He's looking for 15, so I can't imagine that Randy doesn't get a title soon. Yeah, because right now he's tied, and he's been tied for a long time with Triple Triple H. So Trips might not want him to take over. Hey, don't be like that. Your buddy Paul. Don't be like that, Paul. Don't be like that. Speaking, again, of manufactured, I wrote this on Twitter. I want to say this. Because of the, you mentioned earlier, the Bronson Reed foot on Oba's back where Oba elbowed it.

40:23And that, of course, created a lot of content and discussion on social media. And I saw two comments and I wrote on one page, manufactured Oba hate coming in. five, four, because it was a bunch of people now for not being professional or stop it. Just stop it. You're looking for some reason to turn on Obo. We ain't never turning on Obo.

40:48O'Shea:These faux Obo haters, I want you to go home, go in the kitchen, get the sharpest knife you could find, and cut the bullshit out. Come on, man. Get your foot off my back. Character-wise. Come on, bro. He sold. Get over it. TJ, I hear Don in my head. I don't even know how you do that because you didn't have ears in right now. It's because, bro, when it was New Year's and, like, they gave me that$2 bill, there was something in it. Oh, okay. There was something in it, bro. I can hear him. And I think we got to let these people hear our Dan House. Yeah, man. So, again, for those of you maybe missed the beginning of the episode, last week I was working my day job on the Rich Eisen show.

41:35We got an opportunity through WWE 2K to interview Dan Housen, but it was at a time that I was on air, so we're not going to turn down no opportunity. So let them know what time it was.

41:45O'Shea:Yeah, I had to pull a little solo Daryl action. By the way, shout out to my big brother Daryl, because I had to use his little side office for the interview and I appreciate you and I love you. But we have an interview with the man, the myth, the housing, Dan Housen. Fans of the No Contest Wrestling Podcast, I mean, as promised, we have one of the most powerful figures in the WWE universe right now. The only athlete, I think, in the history of the world to win a Stanley Cup, a World Cup and an NBA championship in the same year. the man the myth the housing dan housing welcome to the no contest wrestling all right we're actually going to acknowledge this in person or on on air finally huh that stanley cup and the world cup as well it all kind of happened in the same couple of weeks so no one really acknowledged those two yeah man i i'm a i'm a fan of seeing you on twitter and you have a valid point you uh single-handedly brought all those together in the same year it has to be acknowledged and where else but no contest dude that's right we got a little bit overshadowed by how popular the next one was but uh that's right then i was in uncursed and then recursed the golden knights and then uncursed the hurricanes and then they won the next day the stanley cup and then what was it we cursed was it argentina yeah yeah and then they lost it's incredible i i mean it's it's a level of responsibility that you must feel to have that type of power yeah you don't understand how glued to dan housing's phone he was checking the scores of the nba finals especially because they like to play a game where they're down 30 points every single game and then come back up in the last five minutes they were i mean it was so hard not to root for the knicks I'm a Laker fan, so I hate the Spurs.

43:48O'Shea:So I'm all for the Knicks bringing on the title. And, yeah, that had to be the craziest three nights in New York history. Yeah, well, it was like cinematic almost. Like it played off like a movie. Beginning, middle, and the end where the good guys come back at the end and win finally. Yeah, and, man, couldn't happen to a better guy than that Jalen Brunson. I mean, how could you not root for that guy? Yeah, well, he took a pay cut to make the team better and everything, and it paid off. Yeah, paid off in a real way. He's probably getting sponsorships and lots of human monies. Yeah, he probably can't go really anywhere in New York now, which is kind of cool.

44:34O'Shea:Yeah. I think some New Yorkers, I think New Yorkers is a town where they respect the celebrities, though, don't they? Isn't that the thing? They kind of leave him alone here and there. he's the king right now i mean you you need more credit though we got to get you next to uh timothy chalamet man i know what is that i i don't get it you're you're a hero statewide not just the city statewide over there it did not happen due to scheduling but i'll let you in a secret that cat told dan housing was that he had a meeting with kylie jenner and timothy chamelay about getting this done via zoom and they agreed to it apparently but uh i think her schedule for her aloe clothing line i think got in the way so she was not at the game listen it has to happen this season's right around the corner yeah it was right around the corner i can't wait for that to happen but dude you got to tell me about this video game you know you being in wwe uh 2k 26 uh a part of the ringside pass season five we can finally play as dan hausen how exciting is that it is very exciting i hope that dan hausen has a car in it that can drive really fast i hope we get all the prospects and powers from like gran turismo and uh you know i get rocket uh arms that shoot off and hit my opponents do we have any of those do we know you know that seems a little complex uh the way that the game works you could probably have the car for the entrance but i mean you're dan has all right well i can still curse people at least i think so that's probably enough that's that will suffice absolutely you've been on just one of the craziest i don't i don't like saying rookie but like craziest first year runs i've ever seen we still have six months to go yeah it's been incredible what has been the feeling on your side through your eyes of just everyone accepting the world of dan hausen uh i think it is to push the limits of what will work and what more we can do because originally dan hausen i don't think was supposed to be a part of wrestlemania but then it was undeniable that he must be added and then guess what john cena Oh, great.

46:54Sounds perfect.

46:56O'Shea:Yeah, that was my next question. To be in your first year and share the ring with Cena at Mania. Like, have your WrestleMania moment with John Cena in what he advertises, but you never know, might be his last time at WrestleMania. It could be. Could be last time ever WrestleMania, shared with Dan Housen. Dan Housen wishes he could have got there a little bit earlier, perhaps to do a tag team with John or something. That would have been nice. But this is, you know what? This is as good as it gets. He's retired. He gets to enjoy his time off. He's earned it. He deserves it. And he's going to take time off.

47:34Let's be real. He's the busiest person on earth.

47:37O'Shea:Absolutely. I could only imagine. Me and him had a movie come out the same day, so I'm kind of mad at John Cena. But, I mean, he doesn't care. Was it his Wile E. Coyote Looney Tunes? Yes. Yes, dude. Well, that had to come out because it was the Fan Housens needed it to come out. Fan Housens of the Looney Tunes. I would never get in the way of the Fan Housens, man. No, I can't. Take me through your, what's running through your head as, you know, you know where you've been in your career and all the places that you've taken Dan Housen. What's going through your mind while you walk down a ramp of your first WrestleMania?

48:17I think it's a little bit unbelievable. That's one of the few moments that hit Dan Housen. And sometimes it's hard to take stuff in as superstars and wrestlers in this business because stuff moves so fast. But I think when you're standing there literally across from John and he's looking at you as you're saying your catchphrase and laughing, I think it hits you a little bit. It's hard to absorb in the sea of people, but you can absorb in John Cena one foot away from your face.

48:48O'Shea:Yeah, man, it's got to be surreal. a dream feeling for sure dream double dream you got john cena in the ring at wrestlemania what more could you ask for and you get to just completely make the miz look like a uh like the miz yeah happy 20 years to the miz get to embarrass you at wrestlemania my first wrestlemania i i tell people all the time the miz one of the hardest working superstars i've ever scene and he had a very hard time coming in from the real world and he really shouldn't have as fans we should have all seen him as like that's that's what we want yeah to be a fan and to get out there and and do it and he's a multiple time grand slam champion yeah he was also an independent wrestler before that did you know oh let me know before he came through he'll get real mad if you this about him so if you ever interview him you gotta know ahead of time he's gonna get angry with you all right let me know man he's a local cleveland uh independent wrestling hero stop it yes yes you i forget what it's called but you ask him about it you interview him soon for his 20 year anniversary oh yeah ask him about it tell him dan how's it informed you he was an independent wrestler all right i got you dude i promise this is not a trick all right man you making me nervous dude no i was listening to kit wilson ask him about it from around the corner because i cannot ask him questions because he'll get mad at me all right i feel that now that was the mrs beginnings can you let me know uh uh you know were you a fan when you were a uh A little housing.

50:31O'Shea:You know, when did you get bit by the wrestling bug and knew that this was your path? So you get bit by the wrestling bug. There is a famous scene with Terry Funk, a.k.a. Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack throwing the New Age Outlaws. Ah, flip flop that. New Age Outlaws throwing Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack off of the ramp. The entry ramp, Ray, with a dumpster. And they showed it over and over and over and over and over again until it burned into my brain. And then we'd watch periodically and eventually watched Bad Blood 1997 with Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker and Kane made his debut.

51:09And the visual of the red lights in the fire and Kane coming out and ripping off that door was very Friday the 13th-esque, if you will. So Dan Housen, big horror fan, even as a Little Housen because of his father. That got Dan Housen interested in that. And then from there, it was just off to the races, which called Steve Austin, The Rock, D-Generation X, everybody. So that's what Dan Housen started watching was like 1996, 97-ish. And then he just kept watching. Take a little break. When you get a little bit older, you fall out of it a little bit and you get brought back by none other than Cola Man Punk.

51:49O'Shea:No way. Yes. Okay. Like before he dropped the quote unquote pipe bomb. it was when he started the new nexus started re-watching and then that him and John's feud got Dan Housen re-interested in wrestling made him go to wrestling school and yeah that's history right there so I would say Kane a little bit Cactus Jack and Terry Funk a little bit and Cola Man and John Cena a little bit responsible for Dan Housen yeah you know Punk was our very first episode i owe i owe a lot to cm punk and uh you know he's a he's a friend of mine uh as well and uh i heard that he gave you his finisher and then took it away oh my god this guy takesy-backsies is what i call it yes so he retired and then said the move is yours because dan hausen was doing it and i said hey is it okay if i do this he says i'm retired the move is yours and then this guy the audacity you know people say he's a jerk he absolutely is and this is why he returned and then started doing dan housing's move to go right and now dan housing is in the wwe with him and i am respectful and i am kind and nice unlike this fellow no jerk to the universe and uh he took it back and you know what he can have it i'll figure out something else no big deal but he does have to pay me human monies now to use it.

53:25It's called royalties.

53:27O'Shea:Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I get a royalty statement every quarter from him using that move. And luckily they're putting him to work and he's on all the live events. It's probably to pay me off.

53:42O'Shea:Now, since you are a fan and you, I see it's all burned into your mind. Something I like to ask every guest that's on here for the first time. Can you remember a moment as a fan when wrestling broke your heart? I always say when Austin and Vince teamed up and cracked the rock over the head at 17. Oh, yeah. Oh, I was ruined. I was ruined. That's a good one. I came taking off his mask was a big moment for the Dan Housen. I remember being in disbelief that this actually happened, especially because he had little weird curly hair still attached to the back. He had a George Costanza haircut. I think that was a moment of young Dan Housen not really understanding, wow, this is really happening, and you cannot put the toothpaste back in the tube right now.

54:38O'Shea:No, no, not at all. Although you kind of did eventually. He did get his mask back. Yeah, but we all remember him looking like Wreck-It Ralph when he took that mask off. We had that, and I'm trying to think if there was anything else. No, I think that was probably the big one for a young Dan Housen. Yeah. That's it, man. It's for sure a crazy moment. I can see the curls. In my mind, I can see the curls still on his head. It got me. I said, oh, no! Never again! Okay. Now, who are... Now I know who helped you get into wrestling, but as a fan, who are your favorites? Ooh, favorites. So like you said, grew up Kane, Undertaker, Colts, really liked the New Age Outlaws, Bill Ass and Road Dogg.

55:37Triple H was a great Batman. Loved him. He looked very cool with his purple trunks and his sledgehammer. You remember that? Yeah I think it's SummerSlam, one of the SummerSlams Let's see And then more, you know, more recently We had the C.M., the Cool Man Punks C.M. Punks Who else? Trying to think, Bayley's great

56:02O'Shea:Yeah, Batman We love Bayley here Underrated What else? Kane was still around You get beat up by John Cena though John Cena! that was one that before becoming a wrestler he was out when he was wrestling Umaga and all those things but those are great matches to go back and watch John Cena Bradshaw all of those those are great wow I saw somewhere that you were a big a big Bret Hart guy yeah Roddy Piper, Bret Hart sorry we're going back to the old schools now Roddy Piper, Bret Hart let's see yeah get the Bret Hart tights at SummerSlam pay a little tribute to him at a classic technical wrestling match at SummerSlam just like Bret Hart one of our dream episodes is to have Bret on and have Punk here to interview Bret I know I'm trying hard Mr.

57:04Perfect was awesome oh yeah we demolition great friends of dan hausen yeah that's all right that's what's up these are great yeah you know dan hausen uh i did the bret hart i did the cape i did the he did the glasses i gave a cape away to the child at the summer slam pay a little homage

57:26O'Shea:i could just imagine like being a kid going home with that cape like that's like wow i'm trying dan hausen's trying to get these capes at every show so he can give away one to a kid every single show so we're gonna try it we're trying to get it going that would do that would make uh that's one of those things that make you a wrestling fan for life and also very exciting so i saw that and i said we got to keep doing this so i'm working on getting those at uh every event hell yeah man now you are you are a just i told this to r-truth when we were interviewing r-truth when you bring comedy to the show so effortlessly you are like a palate cleanser like you are a breath of fresh air when everything is so tight and you know serious i mean to see you is like is it gives you that that feeling of relief and you kind of centered the audience back to we're having a good time it's entertainment can you think of any other wrestlers in that same genre that uh that you were entertained by oh kurt angle thank you thank you so dan i was gonna hate this theory that a lot of people like to do, revisionist history.

58:52Kurt Angle, great comedy wrestler.

58:55O'Shea:Yes. Steve Austin, great comedy wrestler. Great. The Rock, great comedy wrestler. Yes. A lot of these don't get looked at as comedy styles, but they were great comedic wrestlers if need be. They could also do other things, but very underrated in that aspect. You get R-Truth, you get Santino's. people know those right away but really what dan hauser remembers is most of what uh cold steve austin would do very comedic backstages especially when he was a bad guy trying to bake break the undertaker uh we got the rock all the time was funny all the time kurt angle basically all the time except for when that bell rang very funny except he wore that hair piece that one time that was funny the whole time yes that was a kurt angle i we just gave our uh our like uh all-time lists and i put him at the top of my my goat list because he could do everything yes he could literally do everything if you can make someone laugh you can make them a fan yeah because imagine if kurt angle was just a tactical great wrestler but i think if he kept that like he originally was he was not as popular at the beginning yeah and there's so many people that are great at their moves but that entertainment aspect if it's not there you know they they fizzle out you know what there's one more that's often forgot about highly entertaining highly comedic dan housing steals a lot from him william regal oh yeah yeah regal yeah you take the regal His faces You ever see him drink pee?

1:00:42He was a general manager He got tricked

1:00:48O'Shea:It's horrible Yeah, Tajiri was his assistant Shout out to Tajiri The buzzsaw That's another unsung hero Of my childhood for sure Oh yeah Spike Dudley Spike Dudley Unsung heroes wherever he is I hope he's okay yeah me too got chokeslammed to the floor by the Undertaker now a question that I ask everybody their first time here and I can't wait to hear yours because you you're great at these lists so far you're in a bar alright there are 50 people in this bar that do not believe in Dan Houser I need you to pick a team of yourself and four other superstars to make sure that Dan Housen and the Mini Housens are headed to the car.

1:01:46All right. So, APA, number one. Bradshaw, Fruke, I'll pay them some human monies. I don't think anyone could out-barfight them. So that's number one. So what? I need two more, yeah?

1:01:59O'Shea:Yeah. All right. I think I'm going to hire old Cooler Man Punk there. I think he might be pretty good at doing that. Yes. He's got a mean streak to him. Punched a few groins in his day. What else? Ooh, let's see. Any era? Oh, any era, you say? Yes. Let's go with Robbie Piper. Unpredictable. Oh, wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, okay. You have no idea. We have been debating whether or not to just call this the Haku question. He's been picked. How could you not? You know what? I might have to sub out Roddy Piper for Haku and go with it. He's unpredictable, Roddy Piper, but Haku is Haku. Haku is Haku.

1:02:48O'Shea:Absolutely, man. I think that's a great list. I think so, too. For sure. APA, Punk and Haku. first of all punk would punk would just be admiring haku and also true he's he's the one that you want because he's he's going to be the sober one there he's going to have all his he's going to remember everything exactly now what before i let you go i do want to ask just so i can get it out there in the universe so if it does happen i can take credit oh good i like to do that too. Yes, Money in the Bank is coming up. I just see the vision. I see the vision of a suitcase that says Human Money's in the Bank.

1:03:27O'Shea:So Dan Housen has thought of this too. That is that a briefcase is full of Human Money's. I think Dan Housen does need to try to win it because who knows how much Human Money's is inside. Right. I gotta find out. Human Money's in the Bank. Hey, well, when you do, come back. We're speaking of rookie year, right? First year in, we got to do WrestleMania, wrestle at SummerSlam in a tactical masterpiece against Dominic Mysterious. And what else? Yeah, people are comparing it to a Bret Hart classic. And also, we got Money in the Bank. Got to try to get that briefcase because it's full of so many human monies.

1:04:05And then Royal Rumbles. Imagine that first year.

1:04:09O'Shea:First year? Hey, it should be one for the books. I don't think I've seen a first year like this. let's throw this out there too real quick while we're throwing stuff in the universe Dan Houser would love to participate at Survivor Series in a classic Survivor Series style elimination match yes not just the war games just like a regular regular style no war games for Dan Houser if he's called he'll do it but he would like to do traditional classic Survivor Series as a fan you gotta have that under your belt you know yeah those are one of my favorite all-time matches survivor series style yeah i mean the the most uh pressure feel survivor series ever for me was wwe versus the alliance i thought like i was like mom the world is ending i need to get home like yeah we gotta do it insane yeah man dude this has been fun you could come on anytime we obviously can talk wrestling for as long as you'd like uh thank you for coming on brother thank you make sure everybody checks out dan housing season five of the what is it the backstage pass ringside pass here we go i had my notes but it is dan housing bam bam bigelow uh one of the bella clones brie bella and uh pagano that's right yeah we've done it all you Bad Man Bigelow might be good in a fight, too.

1:05:41I don't know.

1:05:42O'Shea:Yeah. I do remember him from Major Pain. That was the first time I saw. He's probably pretty good at fighting, too. Yeah. Thank you so much, Dan, man. Thank you. Have a great day. Good job, my brother. A special thanks to Dan Housen, who's always great, and our friends over at 2K. Just a reminder to fans, the Ringside Pass Season 5 dropped today. Hey, go ahead, get on there. Get our man, Dan Housen. And also, happy birthday to friend of the show, Lexus King. Oh, word, word, right. I think he's 33 today. Yeah, man. It's his birthday. Go play 2K. How about that? And also, congrats, because Lexus King just got engaged.

1:06:27What? Yes, got engaged. So congratulations to our guy, Lexus King. Hell yeah. They took the Speed Championship from you, and I know that ain't going to sit right. Hey, they took it from you and retired. And retired. I'm the last of my kind. Yeah, man. Human monies. Human monies would probably buy you a new championship if it was up to Dan Housen. Also,

1:06:48O'Shea:you guys saw in the Dan Housen interview, I brought up something that might be a little controversial. The human monies in the bank. Do you know how annoyed people would be if somehow Dan Housen got a chance to get that briefcase? do you know how much the internet would explode in fury and anger and also how dangerous of a briefcase would that be i they're doing the qualifiers now i don't see dan housing sneaking in but it would be hilarious if he just made his own briefcase right just because it's dan housing he can do whatever he wants he's the most powerful man in in kayfabe like he's cursing people and And it works.

1:07:31O'Shea:Like, he's the most powerful character in the WWE universe right now. If, like, we're going by what he can do, nobody knows what that thing is. Is he parts unknown? Is he in Vegas? That's a good point. I've never heard where Dan Housen is from. You know he's listed as 6 '7", 300 pounds? He looks about that. I mean, 6 '6". 6 '7". I'd probably give him an inch or two. Yeah, so, I mean, definitely 6 '5 would boot. Yeah, man. Well, yeah, 300. I'd probably... Look, you know, they jack up the numbers. I'd say he's really about 286. Could you imagine if Dan Housen was 6 '6", 286? Oh, my God. He would have every belt.

1:08:19Yeah, he'd be like

1:08:21O'Shea:this big-ass dude doing this weird-ass gimmick. It would make the mini housing so funny, though. That would be hilarious. Did we ever give a shout-out to Brad Williams for getting his... We had to have. Yeah, hell yeah. Because he got to be a mini housing. Yeah, man. It was dope, man. So, yeah. Sold ice cream bars. Shout-out to you. You know, I was a little sad I didn't get to participate, but I had things going on. So, what can I do? You know, you're a hard-working man. Big tuna. Got two jobs. Tuna got to swim. And I can't. You can't swim? Nah, man. You so black. You know most of our people don't swim.

1:08:59I shouldn't even say that. See, stop. I'm not going to say that.

1:09:02O'Shea:I didn't know that about you. I mean, how would you? It never came up. Right, and we don't ever talk about swimming. No. We just talk about wrestling. Yeah, right. Wrestling don't do swimming. There was a match I saw that Dijak was on. I'm sorry. I didn't even think about this beforehand. I don't know what wrestling organization it was, but it was a match in water. Like, they had the ring, but it was on buoys. So I saw Dijak. Dijak. I don't know what his name is right now. Dijakovic. I'm sorry. Respect. I like the guy. But he gorilla press slammed someone out of the ring and into a body of water.

1:09:41O'Shea:That is kind of impressive. A little bit. You know, that's a wild. Who even draws that up? Excellent question. Yeah, man. so you know well I want to keep let's not keep them too long because you know we did we did a long episode last week yeah man so we won't make you guys but I do want to say something that we want to touch on we didn't have a chance last week because of course we had Becky for so long yeah Becky's our 100 but you brought this up in text AEW's all in yeah the week before was hold on say that again TJ AEW's all in no no no no who brought it up you brought that up I brought it up in text you brought it up to me that we didn't touch on it because we had Becky.

1:10:22How about that, internet? But what a phenomenal, phenomenal card, man. And I know it's a week past, but just want to give a shout out to a few people who truly deserve it. And then I got to knock some people. And I don't want to knock them, but I will. First of all, we have Mercedes Monet finally becoming the AW Women's Champion, defeating Willow Nightingale, and just a wildly entertaining, hard-hitting, I mean, these two women were beating the crap out of each other legitimately and just props to both of them. I thought it was a phenomenal wrestling match. By the way, isn't it just so annoyingly poetic that, like,

1:11:01O'Shea:you know how I feel about Willow. Yeah. I love Willow. We do. You know how I feel about Mercedes. She's your GOAT. She's your Asuka. Yeah, bro. When Asuka is to me, Mercedes is to you. And, of course, when she finally get the title, she got to take it all for Willow. Your guy, yeah? Your guy. Bro, like, it's so annoying. But, like, it's about, D-Lo, here's the bleep. It's about f***ing time, dude. Yes, Mercedes needs the big girl belt forever. Forever, bro. Well, forever is a mighty long time. Yeah, and that's just the right amount. I don't care, bro. Mercedes. Here's the deal. And speak about someone who gets just an unrational amount of hate on the Internet.

1:11:46people just for whatever reason want to crap on Mercedes and I don't get it but I'll say this if you're gonna tell yourself that she's not one of the best women wrestlers that you've ever seen and I gotta I guess hit this with a caveat I know in Japan there's been throughout the years there's been some incredible women wrestlers we all know some of the names but I'm not gonna sit here and act like I've watched so many of these matches that I can truly rank some of these Japanese women, you know, but, you know, I didn't see enough Asia Kong, I didn't see enough Bull Nekano, Toyota, women like that.

1:12:28There's a bunch of women now that are great. It takes a lot for us here in America to watch them. So if you're one of these people who is very heavily into Japanese wrestling, then maybe you might have something to say. But if you're going to sit here and tell me that all you've watched all your life is WWE and AEW and TNA and ROH and you don't think that Mercedes Monet is one of the greatest women's wrestlers of all time, then you're just lying to yourself. I think I just had deja vu because I swear I said that somewhere between episode 1 and 50, but I'm going to say it again now on 101. You're playing yourself.

1:13:03You're lying to yourself that that woman isn't one of the greatest of all time.

1:13:07O'Shea:I always separate my go and the go. There's always a personal preference. Yes, but like now, come on, she the GOAT, bro. She's like, I will draft her number one in any opportunity I can get because of just like what I've seen. There was a time where in WWE, I was like, she's the best seller in the company. Like when she was getting hit, bro, she would just make it a work of art. also shout out to Dolph Ziggler because he's one of the greatest sellers I've ever seen in my life but like I'm a fan I'll always be a fan people want to drag her all the time and it's like you have a personal vendetta against her and she don't even know you Dom I went on Twitter and applauded her and Naomi when they left and like stood up for themselves and got trashed for that and now with her at the top of the mountain at another company i'm still giving i'm still giving my prof man mercedes is she is my favorite female wrestler of all time you know and looking back you know with becky last week we talked about how i said the four horsemen women even though they weren't a faction or kind of looked at as one of the greats and you kind of take that with the shield right so you have one person from each of these groups that just what they were given wasn't good enough for them and They decided to bet on themselves and go out and find success elsewhere.

1:14:40And that's what Jon Moxley did. And that's what Mercedes Monet did. And if you're mad at them at that, then that says more about you than it does about them. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, but big ups. That match, like I said, there was a few moments there where I was just like, oh, these women are beating the dog crap out of each other. So props to Mercedes. We also have the Billy Goat, Will Ospreay, who we got to chop it up a little bit with over WrestleMania weekend in Vegas. The Brough finally became the AEW men's world champion. And again, I got to say this. Eric Bischoff, fan of the show, like Eric, did us a solid by coming on.

1:15:25But he said, if I'm not mistaken, that he didn't like the match between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. He didn't think it was good. And, man, to anyone saying that, like, if you like wrestling the way you and I like wrestling, I don't care what company you like. You cannot tell me you watched this match between those two and you left thinking anything other than, like, that was dope. Yeah, they went hard. Because it was dope. That was a great match. That might have been, when you're talking match of the year, that's definitely on the short list. I just don't understand how someone can watch that, see the passion that these two men put in this match, put it all on the line, and then come out and be like, nah, it was all right, whatever.

1:16:09O'Shea:And, you know, there's going to be people who say, like, well, I knew, like, we, the writing was on the wall. Osprey's leaving this place with this title. Good shame. You've watched enough wrestling, you can say that for every match. That's what I'm saying. for the naysayers who are complaining that the writing's on the wall, that Osprey's leaving, I also knew which Grande Americano was going to win and that shit was crazy. Speaking of match of the year, that's on the short run. That's what I'm saying. It had the same amount of emotion for me watching that as I did Grande Americano and I knew which one was going to get the victory there.

1:16:45O'Shea:So it's like people take this stuff so personally and sometimes you just got to turn that off and Kenny Kenny went through something that takes people out of the ring forever. Takes people out of life. So like we don't know how many times he's going to be able to go at that level again. You got to tip your cap and appreciate it and also as an anime fan the My Hero Academia entrance Kenny loved it. Good I wanted you to speak on that because I don't have a frame of reference, so I'm glad that you explained to them what. Yeah, Kenny came out full All Might. For those who don't know, My Hero Academia is an anime, and All Might is like the guy.

1:17:31O'Shea:You Deku fans, shut up. But All Might is the guy. He is the hero, and he came out to the music that we all, people who know the anime, all associate with All Might, and he just did it to a T, you know, even with the point in the beginning. So it was just a nod to that. And the people behind the anime helped him and gave him the rights to the music and all that. But he just did what Kenny always does, make these references to video games and just that anime nerd culture, if you will. And he did it to the T. And it was great because My Hero Academia is also about All Might passing on the torch. Oh, okay.

1:18:13And so it was just symbolic, dude. Thank you for explaining that to me because I didn't really know. That's dope. But then you look at Ospreay's entrance, which honestly, one of the best entrances I think I've seen. It starts with the video package with his mom, his mom narrating it, right? Yeah. Which right off the bat is going to get most of us. And then her saying she was wrong at 16 years old when he said he wanted to become a pro wrestler, and she said, well, you're not going to make a living doing that. And that kind of hit me because I remember being a kid, right? You and I, we always love to kind of relate to these stories.

1:18:50Always being a kid, I was always the class clown. Always got N, needs improvement, and uses time wisely. Things of that nature. My mom would always come home from parent-teacher meetings. Why do you always got to be the class clown? Why do you always got to be the funny guy? You're not going to get anywhere doing that. And I can remember one year, I was in between jobs. I went home. I'm laying on the couch because I was out of work. But it was like the way production works in L.A. You work like 10 to 20 weeks on the show. Then you know you're going to be off work for a few weeks until the next show pops up.

1:19:24That's the cycle I was in. And as I'm laying there, I got a call that I had been an offer had gone out to me to become the comedy consultant slash comedy producer for MTV's Yo Mama show. Right. So to me, it was just like, wow, I'm sitting here with my mom in the living room that I grew up in where she sat me in the couch that's not there but in the same spot and said, you're not going to get anywhere always trying to be the class clown. Why are you always going to do that? And so for me to be able to roll over and hang up that phone and look at her and go, I just got a job offer. And to tell her what that was, it felt so good.

1:20:00And I said to her, I said, an apology would be fine. And my mom just looked at me and was like, I'm very sorry.

1:20:06O'Shea:I'm an entertainer mama but yeah so I feel that to a smaller degree but yeah the video of all him being 16 years old just that's always when you see how long that these wrestlers really have been grinding and doing this like I said last week we saw a video of Javon Evans and Jackson Drake at 14 years old having a wrestling match that pros maybe can't even do as well as these kids were doing at 14 so that whole video package with Ospreay was awesome. And then his walk to the ring, as he's walking to the ring with Teenage Wasteland playing, and he's walking past different people from different spots and different parts of his wrestling journey, starting, you know, we had Zack Sabre Jr., and then there was Ricochet, and then Swerve, you know, and then we had Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher.

1:20:58By the way, the other day you were, like, I can't say Kyle Fletcher, Kanosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada. I said Kyle O 'Reilly.

1:21:07O'Shea:And you didn't even check me on that. Because I was waiting for you to get to Takeshita. Oh, by the way, we talked about Bronson Reed pinning Roman. Also one of the few people on the planet that pinned Okada and Roman. Yeah, he's maybe one other person. But yeah, so as Osprey's making that ring walk, then there's Swerve because, you know, they had something. Then Mark Davis and Kyle Fletcher because they were a group. Mark Davis' name still trips me. Doug Zilla. Then he got really cool. He gets to his wife, Alex Windsor, and she gives that husband-wife the hug, the kiss. That was emotional. The guy's getting ready, puts his robe on, and as he's making his way, you see that UK flag come out, and it's John Moxley.

1:21:49And if you know, you get that. Will did a little program for a few months with the Death Riders to help strengthen his neck, to help him get ready for what was to come. So to have Moxley kind of, and the look on Moxley's face was almost like, I can't even believe I'm doing this. But he hands him the flag, and then the hood goes up, and his song plays. Bro, them horns never hit harder. Bro. Oh, Sprite. We went crazy. They went crazy. And the match just, it was everything you could have wanted. Right. It was great. And at the end of the day, Will Ospreay becomes one of the few men to hold both the AEW and the IWGP heavyweight championship.

1:22:27so shout out to him congratulations and then one more you gotta hold yeah well I don't think that's ever gonna happen

1:22:35O'Shea:I mean it's cool sometimes he goes out of his way to maybe say things to the other place that so I don't think but like VKM always says it's not feelings it's business it makes business sense we saw a tag team dream match we saw Cage and Cope take out the young bucks and I'm going to say this again man I know people were kind of divided on the Young Bucks I respect the heck out of the Young Bucks what they've done, how they've made the name for themselves how like they said if it's not for them we probably don't get this company. The Young Bucks I feel are hated on but like Mercedes a lot of this hate is just undeserved but it is what it is it's wrestling so you're going to get it Let me just say this.

1:23:28O'Shea:So they had a little promo battle. I forget when. But they came out in front of Cope and Christian. And they were like, yeah, you know, you've had matches and pay-per-views named after you guys. But have you ever had a company named after you? That's kind of hard. You can't hate on that. They said, have they ever named a company after you? you're they you're the they it's your company you're the they that don't count you're the they you're they so what's the point though I'm just saying you're the they you gotta let that hate out that don't count you're the they you're the they O'Shea Jackson Jr.

1:24:19we're gonna just go ahead and disagree on that one but Andrade Alidolo got a big win. He's been flip-flopping through companies, but I like where he's at right now. It seems like he's comfortable, and I only have one question. How you know. That man got that over. He tried so hard to get that over, and now it's over. You have to appreciate that.

1:24:41O'Shea:Water on concrete technique, but I want to bring up this about that gauntlet. There are plenty of guests that I've asked on this show, what's a move that you hate taking. And let me tell you, TJ, there is one wrestling move that I will never ever be okay taking. In the whole I don't know what it's called but the dick on the forehead move. Oh, that move, yeah. Bro, first of all Come on, bro! That's MJF's thing. Why are you just like, man! And then who got it? Daniel Garcia. It used to be MJF and Daniel Garcia, now Andre. Yeah, bro. I was like, yo, this is a lot of nuts on the forehead. Yeah, I'm not really down with that.

1:25:33O'Shea:I'm cool, bro. I'm all for the pageantry and the art. Nah. Nah, we're going to fight back. Yeah, nah, me. John Moxley wins the Continental Cup championship final against Nigel McGinnis. It was really dope to see Nigel get that moment at home in London. Of course, we all know that his career was cut short because of concussions. And so for him to get that moment, like I said, was really cool. Moxley, another guy we could go on and on for people who kind of get this weird hate that I don't understand. Moxley's the man, bro. And that's just it. Divine Dominion, they lost the tag team titles. We got the brawling birds.

1:26:15Alex Windsor, as we mentioned. Jamie Hayter hit it. What, Hayter 8? Hayter 8. So the Brawling Birds, they are the new women's tag team champions. Kevin Knight retained. I'm sorry, Kevin Knight was defeated by Darby Allin. I wanted to bring this up because you said once that your dream match was Darby Allin against an old Shane O'Mac. And that created a little bit of rumbling. But when Darby climbed up that trestle, I guess, and did that back jump and did the coffin drop, I thought of you immediately. I'm like, that's what Shaman said about. That right there.

1:26:49O'Shea:Shane McMahon versus the Lethal Weapon, Steve Blackman. That Kindle stick, it looked just like it. It looked just like it. That's my boy. So, I don't know. Maybe too soon to take the belt off of Kevin. Darby was just the world champion. Now he's back in the midcard. But like I said, everybody kind of lives in the midcard. I don't think the midcard is a bad. AEW keep their pillars in gold. Yeah, they keep them in gold. They keep their pillars in gold. to their dismay or not. It's a good thing, and some people see it as a bad thing because you're taking titles off new talent, but as long as that new talent continues to rise like a Kevin Knight deserves, it should be okay.

1:27:29It's going to happen. So, yeah, congrats to Darby there. Also, we got a new international champion, Kazuchika Okada retained that. A lot of people thought Fletcher should retain, but look, Okada is the man. It's Okada. You got to keep him happy. And again, if you don't know, do some research. Look into why Ocado's the man. And then, of course, you got new trios. Champions. I'm on the new level. I'm on it. I'm on it. It was great to see Austin Creed and Kofi go out there with Swerve, and they get gold on their first time ever. And then they came out when the Tag Team Summit happened. They came back out, loved the new, loved the song they're using.

1:28:11O'Shea:It was Tony trying to flex. Yeah, I don't know how much they paid ASAP Ferg, but it was worth every dime. The new level, new trios championships, champions also in the mix for the tag team championships. They had to pay Ferg and the future. Right, right. So yeah, just wanted to give props to all of them. Yeah, it's all in. You got to talk about all of them. Amazing, amazing card. And what I realized, in four years of all in, there's not been one person who's been in the main event more than once. that's pretty cool. Each year gets a new, two new people to have that main event spotlight. And that's, that's pretty dope.

1:28:48How about that? Yeah. So shout out to all in what a great one. And speaking of championships, if I may,

1:28:54O'Shea:okay. Yesterday I had my fantasy football draft, but that made me pick up the trophy. Shay for the fourth time. I am the winner of the, what I named the Franklin strip because in, in near Los Feliz in Hollywood, there's a strip called Franklin. Oh yeah. Yeah, that little, yeah. Birds, La Poo Bell were kind of like the anchors there. That's where we all kind of met when we were kids here in L.A. in the late 90s. So that's what we named it. But I won my fourth championship last year. Also decided that we were going to change the name of our league. The actor Eric Dane, who sadly passed away in February from Luke Erickson, from ALS.

1:29:34He was in my league for 17, 18 years, bro. Wow. And this was the first year that we drafted without Eric. So it was a little tough yesterday to get through it for all the boys. But we're going to rename our league after him and actually beat him in the playoffs to get to the championship. So just wanted to show Eric some love and just let you know that that's what we do here. We win championships here on no contest. But yeah, man, fourth time. Feels great. Does it feel good to be a winner? Yes.

1:30:03O'Shea:Yeah, sure. And can I tell you something else? This is very funny, Shaq. Okay. Every year for the last, I'd say, 16, 17 years, when I start my draft, I play The Time Is Now by John Cena. Everyone knows it. When I walk into a room with fantasy football for years, I've had that song playing. The guys all know the song. So for me to be able to not only play the song at the draft yesterday, but to pull up the video of me and John singing this song that I play every single year during fantasy was really dope. That's sick. And you are one championship away from tying your beloved Cowboys. Right. You know, that'll be a great mark for you, so I hope you get the fifth one.

1:30:44O'Shea:And with four titles, that means you have more titles than the Sixers and Clippers combined. Oh, well, you know I caused some commotion. After all this stuff going on with the Clippers and me being now an Oregon Duck football fan because of my friendship with Dan Lanning, I had to give up a team, and I just decided that I couldn't take anymore and I let the Clippers go. I signed a document. Now I've got some, I'm being called names that people, I'm not even on some tough guy stuff that no one, these people would not say to my face, I'm being called on social media by Clippers fans. But look, man, I gave it 27 years, dog.

1:31:22I gave it a lot. I put a lot of equity into that team. I bought a lot of jerseys. I left Staples Center with a lot of migraine headaches. Right. I put up with a lot of name calling from Lakers fans because I thought that I would, you know, I'd make a stand and not hop on the Laker bandwagon, which cost me six titles in my favorite sport. Right. So because of all that, I decided Clippers, it was fun. It was real. But I can't do it anymore. So I wish them all the best. And who knows, maybe 10 years from now, we'll both be on the nap and we'll both swipe right. Maybe we'll get back together. But for right now, I got to look out for myself.

1:32:00And I had to leave him go. Right.

1:32:02O'Shea:Well, you know, it's Clipper fans. So who gives a f***? How about you tell us where to find him? Anyway. To everyone watching, there might be some changes coming up.
