WWE Superstar Seth Rollins

22:36I'm just going to question, Seth. as someone who sat here and believed in the ruse, who got up and walked your crutches to you when I thought you were hurt. You walked his crutches, Sue? I got up and made sure he didn't have... You made him walk his crutches to you, Seth? He didn't make me. I felt I was obligated because the knee was hurt. I felt like his crutches were a distance from him. So after each show, I went and grabbed his crutches. And I'm okay with all of that, Seth. You know that. But my only question is, man, and this is going to determine a lot. You said to us, you looked me right in the eye, and you said, I had pizza and a cookie.

23:05And I got a note. Did you lie about that? Did you really have pizza and a cookie? Oh no, I had three weeks off, baby. I had more than a pizza. I was doing it all. Everything I could get. I had pizza, I had sushi, I had cookie, I had tacos. My daughter discovered Taco Tuesday during this stretch. She didn't know about Taco Tuesday. She saw a little Pete the Cat video on YouTube. They were having a big Taco Tuesday. She said, I want to have Taco Tuesday. So we had Taco Tuesday every week. you know what her taco of choice was she wanted a steak and bacon taco oh way to raise them up right stuff yes i i did it all man i went full full throttle all right all

25:26Burn it down. Let me tell you something. That was so awesome. When that music hit on Saturday, man, it was just, and the man's supposed to be a hill, right? You're not supposed to get that type of reaction, but he got the pot. The money in the bank will cash in. We'll always have that happen. But man, it was incredible. It is incredible. It was incredible.

25:48Rich Eisen:All right. And our appreciation, Akbar, Banja, Biamila and Matt Iceman for chilling in the green room while we're waiting for Seth Rollins to toddle his way to the Zoom.

29:00And now it comes full circle. He's out here in Naxa, who, by the way, is in the middle. I think at that point he had completed over 90 obstacles in a row starting his career, which is unheard of. You just don't do that. And so it was just incredible. The thing we said was this was a departure in the past. And Akbar and I are up in the host tower. And we just kept going, this is the best season ever. We absolutely loved it. The storylines that came out in the races were incredible. and the performances were insane. Yeah, this ain't your uncle's Ninja Warrior. This is a totally different finals.

29:32So, you know, so many people are used to going up against Mount Midoriyama, seeing the Ninjas going up against Mount Midoriyama, these massive obstacles, but that's not going to be the case. This is really going to mimic what so many of the fans and the consumers are really into, which is seeing side-by-side racing, and the stories are great, but the competition is even better. It's like Matt and I were having a hard time even just keeping up. I mean, it just felt like every single thing that was coming out of our mouth was an onomatopoeia. That's how exciting it is. Wow.

30:04Rich Eisen:Way to drop the polysyllabic word right there. He's got a kid studying for the SAT. I know that. No, I know the family. I know the Vajabiamila family, and I know everyone in your world as well. Everyone's smarter than the next. So in all seriousness, though, do you guys get the course explained to you? unveiled and then you see the sort of evil at work? Yeah, we see like even going on, we're now just, again, this morning we heard about season 18. And so pretty soon we'll start getting some images of the obstacles and some videos of the testing. But until we assemble them in Las Vegas, you don't have all six or ten obstacles together.

30:45And so usually the night before we'll go out, we'll walk the course with some of the course designers and some of the testers, and they will tell us, hey, this is how, this is challenging. Here's a mistake people are making. And so we're watching it. But until the actual, when the runs start happening, you never quite know what's going to happen. So we're learning about these obstacles in real time too, just as the athletes are. And you know what I started doing? I started, you know, in the beginning of my career, I would like overstudy. I wanted to know everything about the obstacles. And I said, you know what?

31:17what if I just started studying it the night before? And then once I got to the course and what I find for me is that it allows me to stay in the moment because when you see it in real life, you start to understand the scale of it. And then I already start making, I think it's a natural human thing. Like ain't nobody going to do that. That's too hard. Oh man, all these ninjas are dropping on this one for sure. Right. And then you get there and then the excitement and the energy is real. I think with Matt and I, what we have is the energy is real. Cause you're looking at like, damn, I actually didn't think anybody could do it like that.

31:50I've been calling this new season, especially what you're going to see starting tonight, televised speed. Because it is just like pure adrenaline. And you saw with RJ and Naxa, because they're going head-to-head, these ninjas are pushing themselves in ways and doing things they're not even sure they can do because they know if you slow down, if you give the other athlete a chance, your season could be over.

32:09Rich Eisen:So I just find it, and it's just like any other athletic achievement or competition. It's the stories of the people that you're trying to root for or what have you. And that's another neat part about this. And you just mentioned how somebody from the juniors is now competing here. On the pro level. And here's a great story. So Naxa Garamore, he was adopted by a family from, I believe it was Guinea-Bissau. And then they went back a year later to get his brother, who was another kid who was in the orphanage. and Roberto, and both of them competed on Ninja Junior and Axis continued, but it's this amazing story.

32:49And I remember on their shirts, they had this thing, family is thicker than blood. This idea of it doesn't matter where you came from, it matters the family you're with. And it's that beautiful thing. One of the great things about Ninja Warrior that I think, unlike a lot of competitions, which tend to be very cutthroat, zero sum, I win, you lose. This is a show where everyone comes together as a family. And I think it's one of the things that appeals to so many people who don't like traditional sports. I grew up playing football, basketball, and baseball, but a lot of kids, they don't like that.

33:18And so for Ninja, you find this home for people where it doesn't matter if you're just starting out or you've been doing it for 20 years. Once you show up, you're a Ninja. Yeah. And the stories are great. I think that's what, you know, we see that with the NFL. The NFL has great storytelling. Ninja does the same thing and you get so invested. I think this is what we're even starting to see in the WNBA as well. The storytelling and you get so invested into the stories where you just start to watch. And then once you start to watch, you start to see the talent and everything that's in it. And for Ninja, with the stories that we have this year, plus the excitement, what do you call it?

33:50Televised speed? Televised speed. Well, and I know what he's doing with this. He's about to call out Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese and say, come settle your differences on the course head to head. Okay, I'm trying to agree. I can tell you who's going to win that one. I'll tell you who's going to win that one. Caitlin Clark. Yeah, Caitlin Clark. Yeah, you probably thought I was going to say Angel Reese, didn't you? Listen, they're passionate fan bases, and based on what they're throwing on the court right now in the WNBA, I don't want to run afoul of those fans.

34:21Rich Eisen:That's called topical. We appreciate that. And we had Noah Laws in there. Our guy Noah Laws, man. So maybe Noah and Tyreek could do it there. Oh, that would be a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That one Tyreek loses. He's a little too meaty in the thighs. Okay. So I don't know that he'd be able to. A little too meaty. Yeah, meaty. Too heavy. Yeah, too meaty. Now that I'm hearing, you know, how an American Ninja Warrior Jr. is now with American Ninja Warrior, do we maybe go American Ninja Warrior Senior? I appreciate you looking at me for that, Rich. No, no, no. I'm that guy. Well. I mean, so can we.

34:59Rich Eisen:People ask that. Where the course becomes a little, you know, it's not as challenging, right? It makes sense, but we had a 73-year-old get through two obstacles on the course this year, which is one of those things. Look at Rich's eyes. I don't know what kind of geritol they were taking, but it is incredible when you see these people who keep themselves that healthy. His dentures stayed in, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. John Louie. He hit the water a couple years ago, and his dentures just flew out. It was epic. You got to go back and watch. It was epic, but this dude doesn't quit. He just keeps coming back.

35:34I mean, this dude isn't on any like hormonal therapy. He just comes out there with just straight ninja grit, you know, like, okay, it's a it's a it's a thing.

35:42Rich Eisen:And here I thought it would just be a competition just of seniors. Right now, you're saying we already have seniors. We have seniors. We're all inclusive. I'm sorry. I missed it. Did the dentures float? No, they actually sunk and he had to go in. He had to actually go in and go get it and pull it out. He was bobbing for dentures. We tried to have it as a spin off show. It really didn't take. And you know another thing. Whose job is it, by the way? I'm sorry, I'm fascinated. Whose job is it to fish that out? Ain't nobody touching the hair. That's not sanitary. That's exactly how to handle the dangers.

36:12There's no official scuba divers of American Ninja Warrior? Do you remember that in the Olympics, they had the guy who was running around getting the swimmers caps in the pool who was in a very slow speedo. So we actually have him coming out for this year.

36:25Rich Eisen:I'm fascinated by this sort of stuff. I've had professional Olympic swimmers on this program, and I ask questions like, what's that little pool by the big pool for? When you know how you... Yeah, is it heated? Is it? Is it? A little hot tub, I thought. Is it a little hot tub? Without the bubbles? You just go get loose? That's a good question. I'd crack one open in there, which is obviously not what Olympians should be. Rich, that's why we're behind the microphone, not competing. Crack one open. That's what I would do. I'm sorry, you were saying. No, no, no. I was... My brain went to March Madness.

36:57You know, March Madness, we've seen the brackets. This year, we're having our own bracket. It's called Ninja Madness. And you get to follow along this season and watch as the Ninjas start to place in the playoff system that we have going. And you get to call your shots, too. He's like, who do you think is going to advance to be the final four? Who do you think is going to get down to the final two? It is going to be one of those ones that I think everyone's going to participate in a different way. But we haven't had that before with the Ninja Madness. And we always make predictions, and our brackets were busted very early on.

37:25You never know who's going to win. It really is. I mean, just like the real much madness. Perfect.

37:31Rich Eisen:Dude, so did you guys work together on the first one? When did you guys get teamed up? No, I ain't that old, Rich. He's been there since the beginning of time. That was unnecessary shots fired. He's been there since the beginning of time. Back in his day when it was black and white. We did it on the Telegraph. It was sent to Moscow. He didn't even have teleprompter. I'm not even lying. You didn't even have teleprompter when you first started, right? No, no. You guys had it on cards and stuff. Just make stuff up is what they did. I started season two, he came on in season five, I believe. And now we're work husbands together.

38:07We travel together, we do everything together. Our wives are always like, I think you guys are having too much fun together. We gotta play it now.

38:14Rich Eisen:Okay, so you're wearing straw hats in season two. Well that's the crazy thing too. They had a clip earlier. It looked like Coney Island? I had a heavy metal wig on. And it's one of those things like, Rich, you get to see what you look like with a full head of hair. God, I look good. I would have been a rock star front man. I can't sing, but with that hair, I would have been incredible. I don't know what the hell that would have been for me. We get to do lots of outfits. We get to eat. We have an entomologist who will bring us things. Like we ate tempura tarantula. We've eaten grunt worms. We've eaten ants.

38:46It's one of those guys where we want every athlete to do well except him because we have to eat for every obstacle he completes. He's a lovely guy, Eric Middleton. You ate what? Fried tarantulas. We had ants because that was his deal. And so we - His thing is he wants to show anything can be food. And I think my answer is, no, it can't. No, it can't. Just because you can eat it doesn't mean it's food. I prefer chicken tenders. Would you try it, Rich?

39:09Rich Eisen:Hell no. We had a scorpion lollipop. Would y 'all try it? No. No? No, why? It was actually, you know what? Why? Because you don't know - Thank you, Chris. Why? Why? The level of protein in that spider is pretty good, man. No, it's not. Yeah, no, it is. Actually, you've had whey protein. You've never had spider - You let me eat it. I tasted it. I tasted it. Yeah, you did. Explain to me again why this was part of American Ninja Warrior. Rich, we asked the same thing. I think sometimes our producers just go, let's see what we get these two dolts to do. And we do it. We keep doing it. Well, I mean, that's why you're still going into season 18.

39:46Rich Eisen:Yeah. I mean, congratulations. That's a big deal. I don't see Steve Harvey eating tarantulas. Hey! No, he's not. He's absolutely not doing that. He's in Dubai somewhere. By the way, that's what he told us after we shot Celebrity Family Feud. He's like, I'm heading out. I'm like, see ya, peace out. I'm like, where are you going? He said, Dubai. Dubai, yeah. That's what he said. He and his wife spend a lot of time with it. We're going to Bakersfield after this. Abu Dhabi. That's who it was. Abu Dhabi. All right, so Vegas is where you're always hanging out. Vegas is where we'll be. And you've got to come mess with us, man.

40:18Rich Eisen:You've got to come. You run the 40 all the time. Look, here's the thing. Matt and I, Matt, I'm speaking for you. Yeah, I'm your financial guy now. Matt and I will put money and we'll donate it to St. Jude's. You run the 40. You come out on Ninja Warrior. Just step on the course and we'll donate to St. Jude's. Just step a foot on the course? And we want to see Rich run, though. I mean, if you fall, you fall. But I think you can make it past the first obstacle. Which is just what? Those things that you run on, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you can make it past that, well, yeah. I imagine that they're banked in a way to make things more difficult, right?

40:52I mean, it's gonna be very it will have it set up. No, no, no, no, no.

40:56Rich Eisen:Don't say that What you're doing run rich run I cover on the course medical insurance, right?

41:06Rich Eisen:Will do that. Okay, all right, of course

41:12Rich Eisen:But the minute where we're swinging from one thing to another I'm toast I'm not doing that You're not doing that just run through the first obstacle in the children for the children. Anything for the kids. We're playing the card. When I say I'm not doing that, I'm not getting past that. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. But you can try it, right? Of course. I'll try it. But just I draw the line at fried tarantula. That ain't happening. It's hard to have you be our negotiator when these things come up. Pull Richey's and see if he would do it. That's the spidey sense you need to get through the course, man. That's the secret.

41:46I will do it.

41:46Rich Eisen:Listen, after seeing you throw first pitch years ago, I will do anything. That was out of net. That was Seth Rollins. He was setting you up for that one. You came from the top rope, huh? Nothing. Nothing's more YouTube famous than that. I was a pitcher in college. I was talking to him the night before he did it. And the last thing I said to him was, you know, if you really want to make a splash, throw it poorly, because nobody remembers a good first pitch. And after he did it, I called him up. I'm like, you nailed it. He goes, it wasn't intentional. That made me run even more. I was trying to show off.

42:2050 Cent look like an athlete. It was impressive.

42:24Rich Eisen:I have a feeling after I throw to this break that we will see Akbar's 30 for 30 first pitch. Oh, no, no. Don't queue it up. They don't have it queued up. No, no, no. They're not ready to. You brought this on yourself, my friend. We are out of time for our conversation. All right. But nonetheless, we'll do it when you're not here. Okay.

Akbar, your first pitch in Philadelphia is such the stuff of legend. Yes. That it's received a documentary treatment from the ultimate in sports documentaries. Oh, what? Oh, it has it. Check it out. Wow. What if I told you throwing out the first pitch at a baseball game isn't as easy as it looks?

44:13That many have spent the rest of their lives regretting their trip to the mound. What if I told you a former professional football player who used his speed, strength, and agility was about to have his hard-earned athletic reputation shattered in only a few seconds by a tiny little baseball? I was so fired up when I heard Akbar was throwing out the first pitch. I mean, I had visions of the big man going out there, throwing a frozen rope, and the crowd chanting, Didn't exactly work out that way, though.

44:46I mean, how hard can it be? Rich Eisen threw a strike. That guy's not even a punter.

44:50Rich Eisen:Not even an athlete. Did you see the Philly Fanatics' reaction? That was awesome. From ESPN Films' critically acclaimed documentary series, 30 for 30, it's Akbar's First Pitch. Presented by LensCrafters Prescription Eyewear. Friday at 8 p.m. Presented by LensCrafters.

45:15That was good. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's my new favorite movie of all time. Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. Okay, first off, I'm a huge fan of 30 for 30, and I would like to think of myself as a person that deserves one, but I don't. I think it's just crying over here. Oh, my God.

45:34Rich Eisen:That was amazing. What if I told you? Oh, my gosh. I told you. That was bad. We shall shake. That you participated in this. I thought it was real. I didn't know. Oh, my goodness. That was eight years ago. Just last week. And now they are taking that. Crazy, man. Season 10 of American Ninja Warrior. So there we go. I clown him, and then we clown him again going out the door. Ladies and gentlemen, O'Shea Jackson, Jr. He's here on The Rich Eisen Show. There he is. Good to see you, sir. How are you? What are you shaking your head around? He still hasn't recovered, man. I'm scared to death. About? I don't know if you guys know this.

46:18I'm glad to see everybody's in good health. But Brock Lesnar's on the loose. Uh-huh. Okay. I had to make sure that all my loved ones were okay. It's a wild time right now. Okay. You know? You were there, right? No, no, no, no. You were not there? No. Okay.

46:33Rich Eisen:I wouldn't have made it back here alive. Okay. Keep your doors locked, folks. All right. There you go. Keep your doors locked. Pretty wild moment over the weekend, huh? And then we got roped into it, which is kind of crazy. It's amazing. Because Seth Rollins is a liar, a filthy swindler and trickster. And y 'all are victims. I'll tell you what, man. We're kind of honored to be in that mix. It's pretty great, actually. We've been my whole life to be honored. I went from, wait a minute, hold on a second, to, wow. Think about it. Okay. It's kind of cool. We'll be in the documentary. about this someday.

47:12You think? Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Look, Rich, O'Shea and I are already on Netflix. You guys are in it. Talk to him, DJ. I saw you on Unreal. Episode two. Congratulations. Thank you. You know, it's the No Contest restaurant podcast. No Contest, but we do. I tried to tell you what we were going to start doing. Jelly Roll was talking about us in the postgame show. Jelly Roll was saying somebody from the show told him stuff. I didn't talk to Jelly Roll. I don't know who did. I don't know him. Back to the O'Shea Jackson show,

47:34Rich Eisen:O'Shea Jackson Jr. is here. We're trying to determine who's talking to Jelly Roll behind the scenes. I don't know. Somebody. I had no idea. So that means we gotta get a jelly roll. Oh, I could get a jelly roll. Can we really? Yeah. Okay, let's do it. Yeah, that's my dog. He knows everybody, Rich. It wasn't me. Okay. Oh, okay. Wow. He's on Peacock saying people behind the scenes at Rich Eisen's show are telling me he's limping around and he's got crutches. That's you. I don't know what you're talking about. Seth Rollins is a liar. Seth Rollins is a liar. Did you see the new logo of the show when he hosts it?

48:06Rich Eisen:We got it. Because, you know, we gave him his own logo when he was sitting here on the program, the Seth Rollins show. Gross. There it is. The liar, liar, pants on fire. That's the new logo on the program. Yeah. Chicago Bears, Davenport, Iowa, all of it. Bunch of liars. Oh, man. You're just going straight down the row here, right? Yeah, man. Can't stand it. He was cursing the entire state of Iowa on the phone this year. I had to talk him down. He was Tyrese Halliburton part of that, too. Whoever wanted to get it. I just want to apologize to the people of Davenport, Iowa, because I unfairly called you guys crazy things when Seth Rollins beat CM Punk, and that's my bad.

48:45Rich Eisen:That's your guy, too. I'm not money at all. Together, the first guest in the history of no contest wrestling. That's why we were torn. A two-parter. He couldn't have been nicer coming in here. Yep. He thinks he's the champ, and then all of a sudden. Well, he was the champ. He was the champ. Five minutes. That's what I'm saying. He's got five things. He's sitting there thinking, and then all of a sudden, dude drops the crutches, takes off the brace, and starts beating him with the case. Yeah, that's what happens when you're a liar. You just get away with things. It's crazy. Shout out to Phil Brooks.

49:14And the one dude he hates the most did that to him. No, no, no. He hates him the most. Yeah, yeah. You know, the character. I'm sure Colby's a great guy, Rich. But Seth, I got some things to say on my podcast. No contest wrestling.

49:31Rich Eisen:Yep. Check it out in your ear gate and, of course, obviously, on our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash RichEyesShow. What a show today. We wrap this baby up on the Roker side of things. Every game. We'll talk about O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s basketball team and how it belongs to Luca when we come back. Yes!
