02:39In a future episode
02:40Tonight we got a few things
02:41To go over
02:42Let's start with a conversation
02:43That came up
02:44On the Stevie Richards show
02:46If you're not tuning in
02:47To the Stevie Richards show
02:48You should really check that out
02:49It's a fantastic show on YouTube
02:50He does
02:51With James Romero
02:52Where they pretty much
02:54Cover everything
02:55In the world of
02:55Professional wrestling
02:56And on a recent episode
02:57Which I thought was fascinating
02:59Was the conversation
03:00About who is the person
03:01Who would
03:02Theoretically
03:04Replace Triple H
03:05Should the need ever
03:06Arise for a chief content officer
03:08Stevie Richards
03:09Didn't hold back
03:10He had a very strong opinion
03:11That
03:12I'll even read the quote to you
03:13It says
03:13Taker
03:14Is probably the most
03:15Influential person
03:16Outside of Triple H
03:17Running the company right now
03:18And I would have to say
03:19Any time
03:20Like even when Vince
03:20Went to Saudi Arabia
03:21Who was right next to him
03:23Taker
03:23So that's not out of the question
03:25He said a little bit later
03:26In the interview
03:27I can see Taker gaining power
03:28But if we're talking about it
03:29Like we mentioned here
03:30Hunter puts himself
03:31In everything
03:32Hunter is trying to make himself
03:33Indispensable
03:33To not be fired by TK
03:35Or the Saudis
03:36But if they did come
03:37To where Triple H
03:38Did get moved on
03:39From the company
03:40Or the company moved on
03:41From Triple H
03:42I could definitely see Taker
03:43Taking that
03:44Chief content officer title
03:46Chief operating officer
03:47Type of role
03:47And I think it's an
03:48Interesting conversation
03:49I don't think
03:50Anybody's surprised
03:51When you see Taker
03:52Doing so much
03:52With Triple H
03:53Right now
03:54His connection
03:55With Hunter
03:55With Shawn Michaels
03:56With Stephanie
03:57They are the guys
03:59Who've been there
03:59For as long as they have
04:00They're the longest
04:01Tenured people
04:02In the company
04:02They understand
04:03The vision
04:03Of professional wrestling
04:04A lot of their
04:05Three of their vision
04:06Are why
04:07The WWE
04:08Progressed through
04:09That NWO
04:11Competition
04:11Through WCW
04:12Nitro era
04:13And were able to
04:14Come out the other side
04:15And become the victors
04:16Is because these guys
04:17Had some really
04:17Revolutionary thoughts
04:18Things like DX
04:19Going to the Omni
04:20In Atlanta
04:21And almost
04:21Rolling in on Nitro
04:23And things like that
04:23Undertaker
04:25His unwavering loyalty
04:27To the company
04:28Things like that
04:29I would not be surprised
04:30At all
04:31If that's exactly
04:32What we would see
04:34He does reference
04:35Later on
04:36Seeing the roles
04:37That the Undertaker
04:37Plays in things like
04:38Unreal
04:39And other shows
04:41The LFG
04:43And things like that
04:43So clearly
04:44Taker has a huge
04:45Role to play
04:46In WWE
04:47And TKO
04:48Going forward
04:48And should there
04:49Ever be a need
04:50It would not surprise
04:51Me as well
04:52If that was what
04:52Happened
04:53Now along the same
04:54Lines
04:54WWE just recently
04:56Brought back
04:58Created another
04:58YouTube channel
04:59For the Six Feet Under
05:00Podcast
05:01For the Undertaker
05:03Which went live
05:05On November 19th
05:05The episodes are released
05:06Every other Wednesday
05:07I did see
05:09Same guy
05:09James Romero
05:10The one who does
05:10The show
05:11With Stevie Richards
05:11Has his own show
05:12On there
05:13He was very critical
05:14Of the first episode
05:15That came out
05:16Talking about
05:16Essentially
05:18The lack of
05:20Talkative nature
05:20In The Undertaker
05:21And really the
05:22Over-talkative nature
05:23Of Michelle McCool
05:23Who was his co-host
05:24On the show
05:25Previously he had
05:26A different co-host
05:27And that host
05:29Was done away with
05:30Right before The Undertaker
05:31Basically sold the show
05:32To TKO and WWE
05:34And now
05:35Look for a while
05:36There was no new content
05:37On the show
05:38And all of a sudden
05:38It came back this week
05:41With new episodes
05:41This does not surprise
05:43Anybody I don't think
05:43Because you know
05:44You've seen over the
05:45Course of the last year
05:45You've seen Cody Rhodes
05:46With his new show
05:47What do you want to
05:48Talk about
05:49We've seen Stephanie
05:49McMahon with
05:50What's your story
05:51We've seen other
05:52Things that they've
05:53Messed around with
05:53In terms of
05:54Other programming
05:56Beyond the regular
05:57Television program
05:58So this is actually
05:58Something I think
05:59Really falls in line
06:00It does seem like
06:02Taker just doesn't seem
06:04Like he has the passion
06:05For it or the heart
06:05For doing it
06:06I don't know if
06:07That's accurate
06:07I don't want to
06:08Speak for him
06:08But he certainly
06:09If you listen to his
06:10Tonality in the episode
06:11Doesn't exhibit the
06:13Same kind of excitement
06:14That you would expect
06:15From the Undertaker
06:15Certainly not the
06:16Excitement he seemed
06:17To have when he
06:17Originally kicked off
06:18The show back with
06:19The original host
06:20Sometimes having
06:20Kane on and things
06:22Like that
06:22I just I wonder
06:23Sometimes is this
06:25One of those things
06:25Where he's doing it
06:26Because they're asking
06:26Him to do it
06:27Or is he doing it
06:27Because he really
06:27Wants to do it
06:28And Michelle McCool
06:29Always has a lot to
06:30Offer but what I
06:31Think and James
06:31Romero actually speaks
06:32About this in his
06:33Episode I think what
06:34It speaks to though
06:35When you see the way
06:36Of these two interplay
06:37Is that she has no
06:38Problem speaking
06:39The Undertaker
06:40Doesn't speak quite as
06:41Much but he's the
06:41One who probably has
06:42Significantly more and
06:44More interesting road
06:45Stories no disrespect
06:46To Michelle McCool
06:47But he was in the
06:48Industry significantly
06:49Longer met some of
06:50The legends of the
06:51Business this week
06:52There was a
06:53Conversation about the
06:54Undertaker speaking
06:54About Andre the
06:55Giant how they had
06:56Conversations when he
06:57First came to WWE
06:58But they could never
07:00Do anything together
07:00Because of Andre's
07:01Failing health and
07:02Things of that nature
07:03So it's really
07:04Interesting to hear
07:05Those types of stories
07:06He worked with
07:06Bruiser Brody
07:07He worked with
07:08Like some of the
07:08Old school incredible
07:10Talent and early in
07:11His career he worked
07:12With Steve Austin in
07:12World class and USWA
07:14Type territory those
07:15Are conversations people
07:16Want to hear about and
07:17I don't think Michelle
07:18McCool brings the
07:19Same certainly not the
07:21Stories from that far
07:22Back or the depth of
07:24Conversation that those
07:25Stories bring so I
07:26Don't know maybe
07:26They'll tweak it going
07:27Forward it does seem
07:28Like this episode is a
07:29Little better than the
07:30Previous couple episodes
07:31They had with Michelle
07:32McCool and the
07:32Taker running it so
07:34We'll have to wait
07:34And see but hopefully
07:35He just sounds more
07:36Into it next time when
07:38They run a show
07:38Got to bring up another
07:41Piece from the news
07:41Today AJ Lee who is
07:43Responding to an in
07:44What she claims to be
07:45An inappropriate fake
07:46AI video that was
07:47Posted so apparently
07:48She was at a an event
07:52Where she had a fan come
07:55Up to her and I guess
07:57Had some kind of meet
07:58And greet of some kind
07:59The person took the video
08:03Or the picture or
08:04Whatever it was and
08:05Used an AI program to
08:07Create a video of AJ Lee
08:09Kissing him on the
08:10Cheek and then the two
08:11Of them sharing in a
08:13Kiss that prompted her to
08:14Go on social media and
08:16Say this is inappropriate
08:16It's harassment and
08:17Please delete it and I
08:19Agree with her a thousand
08:20Percent AI has its
08:21Purposes those who know
08:22Things about me know that
08:23I do some things with AI
08:24That are incredibly
08:25Helpful but the reality
08:27Is this this can hurt
08:29People at a different
08:30Level the the at the
08:31Increasing quality of AI
08:33Video off the chain and
08:35It creates situations
08:36Where you know some
08:37People could really to
08:40Really take things wrong
08:41It makes it very
08:41Difficult sometimes to
08:42Find out what's real and
08:43What's not and that
08:44Leads to disinformation and
08:45Things like that not just
08:46At a pro wrestling level
08:47But on a monumental
08:48National level so I would
08:50Love to see some kind of
08:51Regulation around that and
08:52I certainly think that
08:53Especially in the past
08:54Couple years where
08:54Wrestlers have been
08:55Talking about how
08:56They're approached in
08:56Airports and things like
08:57That there needs to be
08:58Something done about the
08:59Intrusion that sometimes
09:00The fans bring to these
09:02Guys and ladies because
09:03They deserve they're
09:04People just like you and
09:05I are they deserve their
09:06Privacy they deserve their
09:07Autonomy over their image
09:09And likeness and it's
09:10Really frustrating to see
09:11Somebody take something
09:12Where they were being
09:13Gracious and having a
09:14Picture with them and
09:15Turning into something it's
09:16Not so that's kind of
09:17That's kind of a shame
09:18It seems like a weekly
09:20Episode thing that I
09:21Have to cover this but
09:22I'm going to go into it
09:23Anyways always about
09:24Contracts and things of
09:25That nature TNA I'm not
09:26Sure what they're doing
09:27Jody Threatt former
09:28Knockouts tag team
09:29Champion contract coming
09:31To an end later this
09:32Year it sounds like it
09:34It's they're in
09:35Negotiations with the
09:36Company but they're
09:36Talking about the
09:37Contract officially
09:38Expires on December
09:391st this follows with a
09:41Litany of other talent
09:43That have had their
09:44Contracts either expire
09:45Come close to expiring
09:47Still on the horizon to
09:48Fire it's expire very
09:49Shortly and you got to
09:51Wonder in a company
09:51That's trying to secure
09:52A media rights deal
09:53Why do they keep
09:55Letting all these
09:55Contracts expire and
09:56Some people say oh
09:57You know if they let
09:57Them expire then they
09:58Get the media rights
09:59Deal they have a
09:59Better idea of the
10:00Kind of money that
10:01They're working with in
10:01Terms of budgeting for
10:02Contracts if these
10:04People were willing to
10:04Sign before I don't
10:05Think you have to
10:05Astronomically increase
10:07Their salary to be able
10:08To make it affordable
10:08When you're bragging
10:09About how you're doing
10:10Some of the best
10:10Business you've done
10:11Since the AJ Styles
10:12Years if that's the
10:13Case pay them something
10:15That they feel is
10:16Serviceable and keep
10:18Them under contract
10:19You can't let people
10:20Walk away in the
10:21Numbers that we're
10:22Talking about TNA
10:22Possibly letting happen
10:23And it's somewhat
10:24Concerning especially
10:25When their product
10:25Really has been an
10:26Uptick not loving all
10:28The NXT crossover
10:29Stuff I think some of
10:30It's interesting I think
10:31Some of it's a little
10:31Bit too much but you
10:33Know it is what it is
10:33Also in the world or
10:36The conversation about
10:37Contracts former WWE
10:38Star Soraya also known
10:40As Paige when she was
10:41In WWE always getting
10:43Asked about whether
10:46She's coming back to
10:46WWE or wrestling in
10:47General she was doing
10:48An interview with the
10:49Toronto Sun and she
10:50Spoke about a potential
10:51WWE return I'll give
10:52You the quote it says
10:52I will say anytime in
10:53An interview I always
10:55Get asked that every
10:56Person that comes to my
10:56Table I always get asked
10:57That but Twitter can be
10:58So harsh because if I
10:59Talk about it they're
11:00Like you're begging for
11:01A job I'm like no people
11:03Ask me and I'm just
11:04Answering the question I'm
11:05Not randomly going hey
11:06Bring me back no I'm
11:07Just getting a lot of love
11:08And people in good
11:09Reception from this and
11:10People really just want
11:10Me to come back and I
11:12Think that's incredible
11:13And yeah maybe maybe
11:13One day I don't know
11:15Though obviously she's
11:16Not beating the doors
11:18Down to WWE to come
11:19Back she went on
11:20Further in the
11:20Interview to talk about
11:21Her passion has come
11:22Back for wrestling I
11:23Think she would you
11:24Could feel from the
11:25Tonality of the
11:26Conversation in the
11:27Interview that she
11:27Really would love to
11:28Do something but it's
11:29Got to be right and
11:30It's got to be something
11:30Everybody's all parties
11:31Are interested and I
11:32Think she would
11:32Probably love to work
11:33With AJ again now
11:34That she's back so
11:35We'll have to see how
11:36It plays out I would
11:37Not be surprised if we
11:38Saw a Royal Rumble
11:39Return I think that
11:40Would be incredible
11:40Especially if her and
11:41AJ Lee were in the
11:42Match and ended up in
11:42The ring together but
11:44We'll have to wait and
11:44See but I think WWE
11:46Fans because they do
11:47Have long memories
11:48Would be thrilled to
11:49See her back in the
11:49WWE ring I think
11:50There's some unfinished
11:51Business there
11:52Especially the way she
11:52Went out the last two
11:53Times she had to stop
11:54Wrestling for WWE she's
11:55Back she's ready to go I
11:56Think she could do an
11:57Amazing job in WWE once
11:58Again and really be a
12:00Part of forwarding
12:01Stories that sometimes
12:03Can get a little
12:03Monotonous you know
12:04What I'm saying on that
12:05Topic because we
12:06Didn't do a reaction
12:07Show this week to any
12:08Of the programming so far
12:09Love John Cena winning
12:11The Intercontinental
12:11Championship think it
12:12Was necessary this
12:14Week's Raw kind of
12:16Kind of snooze fest for
12:17A good part of it love
12:18The Intercontinental
12:19Women's Championship
12:20Change not sure I
12:21Would have picked
12:22Maxine to be the one
12:23To do it but whatever
12:24It is what it is kudos
12:25To her love the AJ
12:26Lee got back involved
12:27But I was actually kind
12:28Of hoping that Becky
12:29Would have kept that
12:29Title to lose it to AJ
12:30Lee but this is
12:31Interesting because Becky
12:32Is a main world
12:33Championship level
12:34Contender as should be
12:35AJ Lee so maybe this
12:36Does put the title
12:37Where it belongs in the
12:38Mid card and separates
12:39The upper stars maybe
12:40To go for the
12:41Women's Championship
12:42We'll have to see
12:42How that plays out
12:43Absolutely love that
12:46We have war games
12:47Now settled at least
12:48For the men in terms
12:49Of who's going to be
12:49Where and it's very
12:50Obvious where the
12:51Women are going to go
12:51We're going to see
12:52Becky and we're going
12:52To see AJ added to
12:53That so that'll be an
12:54Interesting match as well
12:55With Blood and Guts
12:57Just taking place and
12:58I could go down a
12:59Whole conversation about
13:00Blood and Guts I
13:01Think there was
13:01Sometimes too much
13:02Stuff going on
13:03Sometimes not enough
13:04Stuff going on I
13:05Saw Ricky Steamboat
13:06Didn't love the match
13:07He thought there was
13:07Too much going on
13:08I just I didn't
13:10Understand why you
13:11Gave in the men's
13:12Blood and Guts match
13:12Why you gave an
13:13Advantage to the good
13:14Guys only to take it
13:15Away with that
13:15Ridiculous briscoe
13:17Injury angle to then
13:18Just give them the
13:20Big come out at the
13:20End you should have
13:21Just had the bad
13:21Guys have the heels
13:23Have the advantage
13:23From the beginning
13:24But whatever I'm not
13:25Tony Khan I don't
13:26Book these things it
13:27Is what it is that
13:28Show is solid this
13:29Show is solid I think
13:30Survivor series will
13:31Be amazing but I am
13:32Starting to have a
13:33Problem with is on
13:34Smackdown we're
13:35Going to get a
13:35Traditional five on
13:36Five elimination match
13:37There's a traditional
13:38Survivor series match
13:39Why isn't that on
13:40The survivor series
13:40Card if you're going
13:41To put something on
13:42Survivor series put
13:42The traditional
13:43Survivor series match
13:44On the survivor
13:44Series card why
13:45We're putting that on
13:46Smackdown the night
13:47Before though is
13:48Ridiculous to me you
13:50Know put that on the
13:50Card put the two
13:52War games matches on
13:53The card me and the
13:54Cena and Dominic
13:56Rematch on the card
13:57And one other match
13:58I don't care what it
13:58Is you don't even
13:59Have to have another
13:59Match you can have
14:00Just those four and
14:00It would be enough to
14:01Keep most people happy
14:02Especially the way
14:02WWE's been doing
14:03These five and six
14:03Match pay-per-views
14:04Lately and that
14:05Would have been fine
14:06I don't like the
14:06Idea of taking
14:07Something that was
14:07A WWE's baby the
14:09Survivor series and
14:10Not even putting on
14:11The survivor series
14:11Pay-per-view yet
14:12Taking a NWA slash
14:14WCW concept and
14:15Making it the focal
14:16Point of survivor
14:17Series I think what
14:18Would be better is
14:19Have both on that
14:20Show I really do I
14:21Think it'd be a
14:21Great idea don't get
14:22Me on that tangent
14:23Though because to
14:23Be perfectly honest
14:24With you I think
14:24WWE's missing the
14:25Boca's my favorite
14:26WCW concept ever
14:27That nobody does
14:27Anymore is the
14:29Battle Bowl the
14:3040 men 20 teams
14:3210 tag team matches
14:33The 10 winning tag
14:34Teams going into a
14:35Two ring battle royal
14:36Winner from ring one
14:37Versus the winner
14:37From ring two for
14:38A shot at the world
14:39Title how cool would
14:40That be in 2025 in
14:41WWE just saying and
14:43The last tidbit
14:43Tonight Nick Hogan
14:45Hulk Hogan's son he
14:46Was in having a
14:47Conversation about
14:48Whether or not with
14:50TMZ whether or not
14:51He would be interested
14:52In going into the
14:53Wrestling business his
14:53Quote I'll have it for
14:54You here says you
14:55Never know man it's
14:56The it's in the blood
14:57So you never know I've
14:58Always loved the
14:58Business being around
14:59That environment makes
15:00Me feel much closer
15:00To my pops he said
15:03He added that the
15:03Wrestling world has
15:04Felt like family to
15:05Him and I look the
15:06Kid's got the build
15:07He's got the body
15:07He's got some muscle
15:08Tone to him he's
15:09Obviously got the
15:10Family background I
15:12Think it would not be
15:12A terrible idea I
15:13Really don't I think
15:14It actually might be
15:14An interesting idea but
15:15If that's something
15:16He's going to do I
15:16Don't know I don't
15:17Remember how old
15:17Nick Hogan is I
15:18Know he's not he's
15:19He's younger than I
15:20Am but I'm no
15:22Spring chicken either so
15:23Hopefully he gets
15:24Out there and
15:25Figures out a way if
15:26He's going to do it
15:26To get on with it
15:27Otherwise turn the
15:28Page just start
15:29Telling people no
15:30It's not going to
15:30Happen that way we
15:31Don't have conversations
15:32Like this where you
15:32Have to hypothesize
15:33About something that
15:34Has really little to
15:36No chance of actually
15:36Happening that's all the
