03:39And I will try to address that for you
03:41So today's episode
03:42We are jumping into the big news that broke yesterday
03:45Tom Brady and Logan Paul
03:48We're at Fanatics Fan Fest
03:49In New York City
03:51They've got all sorts of panels going on
03:53And competitions
03:53And Cody Rhodes is interviewing Tom Brady
03:56And Brady makes it clear
03:57He's just waiting for Nick Khan
03:58To come up with some creative idea
04:00To get him into a match
04:01He referenced the fact that his buddy Gronk
04:03Has done this before
04:04He mentioned Logan Paul by name
04:07These two have a little bit of history
04:08Because there was like a charity flag football game
04:11Early in the year
04:12And apparently Logan Paul won the match
04:14It was kind of trash-talking Brady
04:16So there's been a little bit of banter
04:18For several months going on
04:19But now Logan Paul is injured
04:20Lo and behold
04:22Before the end of the evening
04:23Logan Paul does appear
04:25And they get into a face-off
04:27Where Tom Brady slaps the ever-living snot
04:29Out of Logan Paul
04:31It is one of those times
04:32Where you know darn well
04:33One, why was Tom Brady even there
04:35To set this up?
04:37What is WWE going to do?
04:38They're going to jump all over this
04:39And this will be a match at some point
04:41Now, the problem is with Logan Paul's injury
04:43You need the time frame
04:44To get things ready
04:45And get things going
04:46And I hope that Tom Brady
04:48Because he referenced how he's still athletic
04:50He thinks he can go in
04:51And have at least one match
04:52And the key word there for me
04:53In terms of timing
04:54Is at least
04:55Because what I think they need to do is
04:57He needs to contribute enough time
04:59They need to send a ring
05:00To wherever his training facility is
05:02Where he works out
05:03Have somebody go there
05:04A talent who's not being used
05:05On television right now
05:06Go and help get Tom Brady
05:08Ready for a match
05:09Let Logan and he put together
05:11This most
05:11As beautiful a choreographed match
05:13As they can
05:13To really put on a show
05:15Now, the way I would book this
05:16Because of Paul's injury
05:17Which is like a 9-12 month injury
05:19For some people
05:199 on the low side
05:2012 on the high side
05:21He's talking about recently
05:23That he's ahead of schedule
05:24So who knows how soon
05:25He'll be back
05:25He got hurt in like June
05:27So at this point
05:28You know
05:29You start looking at the numbers
05:30And when you think
05:32He can be back
05:32You know
05:32July, August
05:33September, October
05:34November, December
05:34January, February, March
05:36That's a little late
05:37Do we really want to wait that long?
05:38Well
05:38What if he's not waiting that long?
05:40What if he's back before that?
05:42What if we have some kind of run-in?
05:44Right around Survivor Series
05:46Have Tom Brady
05:47Be like a guest host of Raw
05:49Or something
05:49Logan Paul can attack him
05:51Not anything too serious
05:52Maybe a chair shot to the back
05:54Or maybe he just clubs him
05:55From behind and runs away
05:56Something that he doesn't have
05:57To get overly physical
05:58Because he's not medically cleared
05:59Then
06:00You could have
06:01Logan Paul
06:02If he's ready to go
06:04By the time we get to
06:05The Royal Rumble
06:06At some point in the Rumble
06:07You could have him be
06:09The only competitor in the ring
06:10And eliminate everybody else
06:11And have a surprise appearance
06:13In the Rumble
06:14By Tom Brady
06:14Have him come out
06:16And through some nefarious means
06:18Either he eliminates
06:19Logan Paul
06:20Or
06:21Logan Paul eliminates him
06:22And it can set up
06:23A Wrestlemania match
06:24Where hopefully
06:25With this much time to plan
06:26They can put something
06:27Really special together
06:28I'm all for it
06:30The only problem I have is
06:31If you are a Patriots fan
06:34Then you would love
06:36Seeing Tom Brady
06:37Beat the snot out of
06:38Logan Paul
06:38Who's one of the biggest
06:39Heels on the planet
06:40If you don't
06:41Live in New England
06:42And you're not a Patriots fan
06:44Or you're not one of the fans
06:45Who likes to give their respect
06:46Because look
06:47I'll be honest with you
06:47I'm an Eagles fan
06:49I hated Tom Brady
06:50When he beat the Eagles
06:51In the Super Bowl
06:51You know
06:52I have some disdain
06:53For the man
06:54But I also tell it
06:55The way it is
06:55That is the greatest
06:56Of all time
06:57And that man has
06:58Seven championships
06:59And I have to give
07:00Him mad respect
07:01So I'd love to see him
07:03In the ring
07:03Even as an Eagles fan
07:04But a lot of people
07:05Who are outside of New England
07:07He's the biggest heel
07:08In sports
07:09Him
07:10LeBron
07:11Like there's certain people
07:11Who just always get the heat
07:13And so
07:15I think the hardest part
07:16Would be selling Brady
07:17As a babyface
07:18Against Logan Paul
07:20Because people hate Logan Paul
07:21And they hate Tom Brady
07:23So I don't know
07:24It takes some time
07:25They have to build it up
07:26If they do it right
07:26They can make it happen
07:27They can make anybody
07:28A babyface if they wanted to
07:29Maybe tie Gronk in
07:30A little bit more
07:31Because people seem
07:31To really love Gronk
07:32I don't know
07:33We'll have to wait and see
07:34Maybe do a whole vision thing
07:35Against Gronk and Brady
07:36I don't know
07:37But I'm interested to see this
07:39I think
07:39And it went viral
07:40It's awesome
07:41Check it out
07:41Find it on YouTube
07:42Or wherever you stream
07:43Odyssey
07:44Rumble
07:46Dailymotion
07:46Vimeo
07:47I'm on all of them
07:48So check it out
07:49Wherever you can
07:50Find that clip
07:51It's awesome
07:51Moving on from that
07:53Big news in the world
07:54Of Netflix and WWE
07:55They announced their numbers
07:57Right?
07:58For the last several months
07:59The last year or whatnot
08:00And looking at WWE programming
08:03Some of the highest rated programming
08:05On all of Netflix
08:06Yes you got things like
08:07Stranger Things
08:08And stuff like that
08:08That did better than anything
08:10But when you look at the wrestling shows
08:12The Royal Rumble
08:14And keep in mind
08:15We're talking about internationally
08:16And the reason that matters
08:18Is here in the United States
08:19None of these views
08:20Are United States views
08:21For the PLEs
08:22Because we had Peacock
08:23And then it turned into ESPN
08:24So all this
08:25This is a lot of this
08:26When you get to a conversation
08:28About RAWs
08:28And stuff like that
08:29That might be different
08:29But when it comes to PLEs
08:31We're talking about international numbers
08:32And not even counting
08:33The US viewership
08:34So we would be on top
08:35Of whatever this number is
08:36But in terms of
08:38High viewership
08:40And PLEs
08:40The Royal Rumble
08:41Was the number one
08:42Watched WWE PLE
08:45With I believe
08:46It was 3.7 million viewers
08:49WrestleMania Night 2
08:50Then WrestleMania Night 1
08:51SummerSlam Night 2
08:52SummerSlam Night 1
08:54Like huge numbers
08:55Over 3 million
08:56Per thing
08:59And then we get into
09:01Some of the other
09:02Interesting numbers
09:03For example
09:03Let's go with other
09:05PLEs
09:06Elimination Chamber
09:071.9 million
09:08Clash in Italy
09:091.6 million
09:10Backlash
09:111.4 million
09:12Night of Champions
09:13It was like in the middle of the day
09:14Still had a million viewers
09:15Around the world
09:16Then we get into
09:17The Raws
09:18RAW on January 5th
09:20And RAW on April 20th
09:22Both drew
09:233.7 million views
09:25The July 6th RAW
09:28A couple weeks ago
09:28With CM Punk
09:29Winning the World Championship
09:302.5 million views
09:32Unreal Season 2
09:34Of all programs
09:35Ranked in their top
09:3625 shows
09:37For the year
09:38They have got to be
09:40Loving everything
09:40WWE is doing for them
09:42I see this being
09:43A long lasting partnership
09:44Netflix must be
09:45Over the moon happy
09:46With all this turnout
09:47Let's get into
09:48Some other WWE news
09:49There is some backlash
09:50Speaking of the pay-per-view
09:51There's backlash
09:51On Tiffany Stratton
09:53After Smackdown
09:54Where she won
09:55The qualifying match
09:56To get into
09:56The Interim Women's
09:57World Championship
09:58Conversation
09:59And I agree
10:00With this backlash
10:01And it's nothing
10:02Against Tiffany Stratton
10:03It's nothing
10:03Against JC Jane
10:04This is purely
10:05Against creative
10:06Because it makes
10:07Absolutely no sense
10:08JC Jane came in
10:09Hot as ever
10:10And it looked like
10:11She was destined
10:12For a few
10:12With Rhea Ripley
10:13And rumor was
10:14That was the plan
10:14For SummerSlam
10:15Then Rhea gets hurt
10:16Now you got Tiffany Stratton
10:17The Women's
10:18United States Champion
10:19She has no
10:20Championship defense
10:21At SummerSlam
10:22She goes into
10:23This match
10:23If you put JC Jane
10:24Over and put her
10:25Into the ladder match
10:26She then gets
10:27Elevated to a
10:29Main event level
10:29Status and can
10:30Then whenever
10:30Rhea's ready
10:31Have that feud
10:32With Rhea
10:32Heck I'd give her
10:33The win
10:33I would give her
10:35The WWE
10:36Women's Championship
10:37So that when
10:38Rhea comes back
10:38The match is built in
10:40You don't even have
10:41To tell a funky
10:41Story to get there
10:42That's what I would do
10:43They didn't do that
10:44They went the opposite
10:45They had Tiffany Stratton
10:47Defeat JC Jane
10:48Pushes JC Jane
10:49Down the card
10:50Because she can't
10:50Even beat the
10:51Mid-card champion
10:52She's certainly not
10:53Ready for the
10:53World Championship
10:54If that's the case
10:54And then Tiffany Stratton
10:56Who already has a belt
10:57And I'm never a fan
10:57Of two belt people
10:58Except Becky
10:59Two belts
10:59Because it was
11:00Two world titles
11:01But a mid-card
11:02And top tier title
11:03I hate being on
11:04The same guy
11:04Going all the way
11:05Back
11:06Warrior Hogan
11:07I didn't have
11:08Too big of a problem
11:08Because Warrior
11:09Vacated it right away
11:10Seth Rollins
11:11When he had
11:11The Universal Championship
11:12And the United States
11:13Title
11:13That stuff doesn't
11:14Make any sense
11:15To me
11:15You know
11:16Even going back
11:17To Shawn Michaels
11:18When he had
11:18The European title
11:19And the world title
11:20That kind of stuff
11:20It just doesn't
11:21Make sense to me
11:22I would never
11:23Put the world championship
11:23On somebody
11:24Who had a secondary title
11:25I just wouldn't
11:26Two worlds
11:26Maybe
11:27Secondary and primary
11:28Not so much
11:29So I hate this booking
11:31As well
11:31A lot of backlash
11:32Online
11:33Hopefully they get
11:34This creative work
11:35And with some more
11:36Interesting stuff
11:37Because this was
11:37A missed opportunity
11:39Those two other programs
11:40Would have been far more
11:41Engaging than what
11:41They're giving us
11:42Right now
11:43Also in the news
11:44And this one
11:44I'm going to preface this
11:46By saying
11:46I try very hard
11:47To steer clear of politics
11:49Which is hard for a guy like me
11:50Because I'm a social studies teacher
11:51By trade
11:52But I got to be honest
11:53There is a report
11:54That came out
11:55That Liv Morgan
11:56Has partnered with a group
11:57Called Together We Strive
11:58Which is a non-profit
12:00Northeast Texas
12:01Where they provide services
12:02And interventions
12:04And things for people in need
12:05Younger folks
12:06And things like that
12:07It's a beautiful cause
12:08It really is
12:09They do good work
12:09And she's a brand ambassador
12:11Trying to help
12:11And support that cause
12:13And I give her kudos for that
12:15But it turns out
12:16That Together We Thrive
12:17Also gets some
12:18Funding and support
12:20From an outside group
12:21Called Watermark Church
12:22Which is a
12:23Somewhat controversial
12:25Christian based group
12:27That have certain beliefs
12:29That are not always
12:30The most popular ideology
12:31I'm trying to tread lightly here
12:32Because I don't want to
12:33Offend anybody
12:33Or support anybody
12:34I'm a middle guy
12:35To begin with
12:36But
12:37They are
12:38Somewhat against
12:39Same sex marriage
12:40Which is something
12:41That can be
12:42A serious conversation piece
12:44For some people
12:44They have some strong
12:45Religious beliefs
12:47Look
12:48Again
12:49Not trying to get too political
12:50But freedom of religion
12:51Is a thing in this country
12:52So it is what it is
12:54I don't expect
12:56Liv Morgan
12:56To go down a list
12:57Of every single company
12:59That contributes
12:59To Together We Thrive
13:00And figure out
13:02What their ulterior motives
13:03May be
13:03She's trying to do good work
13:04And do good things
13:05So this is something
13:06That could have easily
13:07Been explained away
13:08She didn't know
13:08Whatever
13:09Maybe she distances herself
13:10Or maybe she asks them
13:11To sever that partnership
13:12Or whatever
13:13WDB is a huge platform
13:14You would think
13:15That they would prefer
13:16To have Liv Morgan
13:16Over some fringe
13:18You know
13:18Church
13:19But
13:20That's not where
13:21The issue comes in
13:22The issue comes in
13:22With the online
13:23Keyboard warriors
13:24Sitting in their mom's
13:24Basement when they're
13:2565 years old
13:26Calling her MAGA
13:28She's not
13:29She may be MAGA
13:30I don't know
13:31She's never said anything
13:32To indicate what
13:34Her political preference is
13:34But I think if you know
13:35Anything about Liv Morgan
13:36And look at the talent
13:37That she's been friends with
13:38Worked with
13:39Partnered with
13:40What their lifestyle choices
13:42Have been throughout
13:42Her entire wrestling career
13:44She's been very much
13:45An ally to anyone
13:47Anyone
13:48Young lady
13:49Look
13:49You can say what you will
13:50About her wrestling character
13:51And all that kind of stuff
13:52She's a good person
13:53She really is
13:54She does great work
13:55With the children
13:55She's doing this charity stuff
13:57For the right reasons
13:58And she's taken all this
13:59MAGA hate
14:00Which
14:00Look
14:01You don't have to love her
14:02You can love or hate
14:02Whatever you want politically
14:03But that's
14:04That's the kind of
14:05Character defamation
14:06That really bothers me
14:07You know
14:08Don't connect dots
14:09That don't belong connected
14:10That's ridiculous
14:10She did a charity thing
14:12They have a fringe group
14:13Who happens to be a sponsor
14:14Let it go
14:16Back off
14:17Let her see
14:17Let's see what she does
14:18From here on out
14:19And see how things play out
14:20But to jump down her throat
14:21Kind of ridiculous
14:22Let's throw some AEW stuff in
14:24Before we go today
14:24Sammy Guevara was being interviewed
14:26And to paraphrase
14:28He basically said
14:28It's not my call
14:29Why he's not on AEW television
14:31In 2026
14:32He has been on AEW three times
14:34That's it
14:35Three matches
14:37And this is the guy
14:38Who originally was one of the
14:39Four pillars of the company
14:40And now
14:41Ever since he had some
14:42Backstage stuff with
14:43Andrade
14:43In Andrade's first tour
14:45With AEW
14:46And you know
14:47Maybe he was a little
14:48Immature at the time
14:49He's gotten married
14:49He has a baby
14:51He had a great partnership
14:53With
14:53With
14:55Dustin Rhodes
14:57He's done so much
14:58Since then
14:59And it seems like
15:00Tony just refuses
15:01To give him another chance
15:03To be a legitimate
15:04Primetime player
15:05In the organization
15:06You just re-sign
15:07Jack Perry
15:08Who frankly
15:09Doesn't look anywhere near
15:10As good as Sammy Guevara
15:11Both in ring
15:12Or physique
15:13Any of that stuff
15:14And I just don't understand
15:16I really don't
15:17He was immature
15:18He did some things
15:19It wasn't too bad
15:19It was less serious
15:20Than the CM Punk
15:22Jack Perry stuff
15:23And that resulted
15:24In people being
15:25You know
15:25Terminated and fired
15:26And all that kind of stuff
15:27And one of them
15:28Still works for the company
15:29You just gave a new contract to
15:30Why is Sammy Guevara
15:31Not giving more TV time
15:32But it's not just Sammy Guevara
15:33We all know this
15:34Britt Baker
15:35She just did the ALS
15:37Ice Bucket Challenge
15:38For her friend Rebel
15:38Who is dealing with very serious
15:40Terminal ALS diagnosis
15:42Kudos to her
15:43And she's been waiting
15:46Since like 2024
15:46October, November-ish
15:48Of 2024
15:48To come back
15:49And they haven't used her
15:50If you're not going to use her
15:51Let her go
15:52Let her go find employment
15:54Somewhere else
15:54I get it
15:55She's got her own job
15:56She's a dentist
15:57For real in real life
15:58And she could probably
15:59Take care of the bills
16:00But this is somebody
16:01Who wants to be performing
16:02Give her that opportunity
16:04Why are we not allowing her
16:06To go out there
16:07And showcase her talent
16:08It's ridiculous
16:10From there
16:11I mean Keith Lee
16:11Is a controversial one
16:12We know he had an injury
16:13Rumors about him
16:14Possibly being retired
16:15But even with those
16:16Rumors of retirement
16:17There was other rumors
16:18Saying they were trying
16:19To come up the creative
16:20For him
16:20And then they fell through
16:22And that tells me
16:23That maybe he could
16:23Have come back
16:24So maybe it's not
16:24A physical thing
16:25I don't know
16:26But if you're not
16:27Going to use him
16:27Again one of two things
16:28Should happen here
16:29Either you cut him
16:30Let him go
16:32And find employment elsewhere
16:33Or you employ him
16:34If you're going to keep him
16:35Give him something
16:36Of service to do
16:37This is a great guy
16:38Keith Lee is a talker
16:39Keith Lee is a wonderfully
16:41World-traveled talent
16:42He could be training guys
16:44Helping guys get ready
16:45For your shows
16:46And he could be
16:47Contributing on commentary
16:49Things like that
16:50No we just leave him
16:51Out to pasture
16:51And ignore him
16:52Tony Storm
16:53We know is an injury situation
16:54They never gave us
16:55A lot of clarity on that
16:56I hope they don't drop
16:58The cliffhanger they left
16:58When she got laid out
16:59Samoa Joe
17:00On the shelf again
17:01That guy has had
17:02The worst injury history
17:03In the history of man
17:04Buddy Matthew's been gone
17:05For a very long time
17:06Getting ready to come back now
17:08But then a couple ones
17:09That really get me
17:10Wardlow
17:11Wardlow is healthy enough
17:12To go film American Gladiators
17:14But not to wrestle
17:15A professional wrestling match
17:16Look I'm not trying to be
17:16An egomaniac here
17:17But maybe I am
17:18I'm almost 50 years old
17:20And I've been wrestling
17:21Okay
17:22My last match
17:23I have no training
17:25I go in there
17:26I'm getting hit over the head
17:27With axe handles
17:28And pizza sheets
17:30And all that kind of stuff
17:31In a hardcore match
17:32Putting people through tables
17:33And everything
17:35And I was able to get up
17:36The next day and go to work
17:37Come on Wardlow
17:38If you're able to do
17:39American Gladiators
17:40Get out there and wrestle
17:41Tony Khan
17:42Book the guy
17:42Give him something to do
17:44There's so many premium talents
17:45That just never seem to get
17:47Great any opportunities
17:48And if you're not going to
17:49Use them again
17:50Let them go
17:50Same thing with WWE
17:51If you're not going to
17:52Use people let them go
17:53And I don't want to see
17:54People lose their money
17:55Like if you're somebody
17:56Who's content
17:56Just sitting on the sidelines
17:57Doing nothing
17:58Collecting a paycheck
17:58Then whatever
17:59Forget everything I said
18:00About your particular name
18:01But it's kind of ridiculous
18:02Even other guys
18:03Like FTR
18:04FTR were the world
18:05Tag team champions
18:06And we saw them
18:07So infrequently
18:08They did the whole angle
18:09With Cage and Cope
18:10And that was fine
18:11But really beyond that
18:13We barely saw them
18:14For the last year
18:15Like we're talking
18:17About a profession
18:17That used to run
18:18320, 330 days a year
18:20Now you might be
18:22Working 52
18:23If you're one of
18:23The most active people
18:25And we still
18:26Aren't putting people
18:27On TV enough
18:28Even other people
18:29Daniel Bryan
18:30And look
18:30This is the one
18:31That really strikes me
18:32And this is the last thing
18:33We'll do today
18:33Before we wrap it up
18:34But like Daniel Bryan
18:35Tony Khan was talking
18:36About him recently
18:36Doing an interview
18:37And spoke to the fact
18:38That Daniel Bryan
18:39Is just beat up
18:40At this point
18:41The wrestling industry
18:42Has taken such a toll
18:43On his body
18:44And he just can't do
18:46The travel
18:47He can't fly
18:48Think about that
18:49For anybody who's ever
18:49Flown on an airplane
18:51Take off and landing
18:52Is the hardest part
18:52And it's really not that bad
18:53Unless you've got
18:54A really crappy pilot
18:55Or really bad turbulence
18:56Like at the end of the day
18:57The fact that Daniel Bryan
18:58Can't fly on an airplane
18:59Is heartbreaking
19:01At least more frequently
19:02You know he's staying home
19:03Spending time with the kids
19:04Trying to get healthy
19:05Feel better
19:05I don't know
19:06Maybe he needs more surgery
19:07I know he likes to do things
19:08In more of a homeopathic approach
19:10But heaven forbid
19:11I would not want all that pain
19:13I just wouldn't
19:14But it breaks my heart
19:15Because he's one of the most
19:16Amazing talents
19:17We've ever seen
19:18In the history
19:19Of professional wrestling
19:20He did so much
19:21Had to go away early
19:22Because of the concussion situation
19:24Worked so hard to get back
19:25Came back
19:26Had that almost like
19:27Renaissance of his career
19:29Going out and having that
19:30Like that earth friendly
19:32Championship belt run
19:33Where he ended up
19:34Leading into Kofi Mania
19:35All that kind of stuff
19:37And then leaving WWE
19:38Going to AEW
19:39Totally reinventing himself
19:40Blackpool Combat Club
19:42Was awesome
19:43The precursor of the Death Riders
19:45Winning the AEW Championship
19:47And then having his final send off
19:49And doing all that stuff
19:50With Mox and everything
19:51Just great great stuff
19:53I hate that someone
19:55Who's given so much
19:56Is feeling so down
19:57And hurting so much
19:58But it just tells you
19:59How physical this business is
20:00When those people out there
20:02That talk about how
20:02Fake wrestling is
20:03Ask Daniel Bryan's neck
20:05About how fake wrestling is
20:07Is it predetermined?
20:09Sure
20:09Do people sometimes
20:10Choreograph quite a bit
20:12Of some of the matches?
20:13Absolutely
20:13But I would argue
20:15It is no different
20:16Than turning on
20:17Pick your evening drama show
20:19It's not like those people
20:21Are real cops
20:21Shooting each other
20:22Or real doctors
20:23Working on people
20:23In a hospital
20:24They're all playing a role
20:25Just like the professional
20:26Wrestlers are
20:27Give them their due
20:28They work hard
20:29For what they do
20:29And it's very physically taxing
20:32That's all the time
