Wrestling has more than one royal family. Whoa. What is up guys? Welcome back to Ruing Crossroads. As always. I'm one half of dynamic. Do twisted alongside brother pyro. What's up y'all? And today we are talking Russell Palooza. I don't know how I feel about the name. Neither do some of the superstar and punk went on record and said he thinks it's stupid and he has avoided saying it at all costs. I mean, this to me is just kind of like great balls of fire. Thank you. I was literally going to say that. Oh my God. Get outta my head. Nah, I've, uh, I've got a house right here in the back. I love you. Okay, so overall card wise, what do you think about this? What, how does it look to you? Me, it looks like a meh, meh. Do we think that there's gonna be anything outside of maybe one or two matches? There's not really anything of significant importance. Okay. You kinda screwed this on the women you, in what way would you say that you screwed this on the women? Is it because of the fact that there's only the one, or, I mean there was going to be two, but Tiffany Stratton is currently apparently injured, injured, uh, not medically cleared to compete, and she, I mean, they were setting up for it to be six matches, but. Still here we are. I feel like you could have done more with this. I also know that you were saying, um, from Naomi vacating her title that we should have had a tournament, Stephanie Va versus whoever wins the tournament and they just gave it to EO.'cause Oh hey. Yeah, you're the one that lost the title, so I guess we can give you a rematch and this is your way of getting the rematch. They gave her her rematch. When did they give her her rematch? I can't remember. At the triple threat. Oh. Well, I think that's because someone weasel their way into it. No, no, no. We had every Right, every right to justifiably be in that match as well. Yeah. Because Naomi cashed in in the middle of the 1 0 1 match back at Evolution. True. They were both do a rematch. Mm-hmm. For the match. That never really concluded. They got there, they both got there for a rematch. Mm-hmm. I feel like you could have used this opportunity to elevate somebody instead of giving me the same people in the damn title picture. I mean, I totally agree with that because I love mommy. Mm-hmm. She needs, but I swear to God, if she gets one more goddamn titles shot, I'm gonna scream. I agree. If EO continues to find herself in the title picture on the screen, I might break something. I, I totally agree. Naomi coming back would be understandable. Oh yeah. She already called her shot. She already said, y'all got till I decide to come back with from, from having my baby. Y'all got nine months and some change. We already about two months down, about a month down, roughly. Ms. Stiff. If Bianca comes back and she ends up in the title picture again, triple H, we might just need to have a conversation. If she comes back and ends up in any type of title picture, it'd be for the tag titles and leave it at that. If she comes back and she's in any title picture, you and I gonna have to have a conversation that might lead to me punching you in the chest. I mean, I also wouldn't mind if she did end up via a tournament in the title picture for at least a mid card title. Okay, fair. Fine. But again, yeah, no, I get it. A a a main title. Give us stop, stop recycling the same ish. Yeah. Give us, give us something new. But that aside, let's actually jump into the show. Okay. Opening up the show, we have the USOs versus the Vision, bro Breaker and Bronson Reed, or at least what we think is opening the show. Yes. What we believe to be. Um, they did mention something about this type of match, and I can't a hundred percent remember, it's supposed to be in like a new ring or whatnot that's supposed to help with the, um. Ability or the stamina of these superstars. I'm not sure. The picture of the ring that they portrayed is a triangle, which I find really stupid. Um, but again, not a hundred percent confirmed. Okay. It is confirmed that it is a new type of match that they're having, but nothing confirmed on what the ring looks like. All right, I'm gonna say it this way. If you're gonna give us a different style of ring, pull a TNA six side and give you back my six sides. Somebody gave me six sides again.'cause that was amazing. I am, I'm upset that they took away their iconic ring. I'm not gonna lie, I'm still upset about it to this day, and it's been like a decade that they took away my or my hexagon. They took away my six-sided ring. That's what made them unique. That's what made them them. Yeah. I, I will hardly agree. Um, going into the predictions, all of us, well mostly all of us are cited USOs, where Flash and Desario have gone, the vision. Um, any word as to why Desario went the vision? Uh, do we a hundred percent know we can look. I got it before you did going. Mm-hmm. Braun and Bronze, they need momentum. They haven't truly gotten it yet. Ellie Knight will cost the USOs. This one, I mean, his beef with Jay. Jay not sounding like himself. I could see it. I mean, you know, this whole thing. Either he helps or he costs them. I could see it going either way personally, if this is just one-on-one. Nobody else interferes. Although we know that's not gonna happen. But one-on-one, nobody else interferes. I see USOs clean and that's just me personally.'cause they've done this before. Yeah. They've beaten how many of the greatest TAG teams. That's fair. So my, my side goes USOs, definitely. And your reasoning for picking USOs? They just reunited'em. Why? Kill any momentum that they could possibly have now being reunited. And honestly, they've kind of, they haven't done anything with the vision up to this point. I don't see them starting now. I mean, they have with the other two, but we'll get into that a bit later. Next match. Uh, next match women's action underway. The Women's World Title, Stephanie Viki, eel Sky for that. Poor said, vacated title. Yes, English. It's hard. It is English. It's hard. Just a little bit, and obviously you know Stephanie won this right via the Battle Royal at Evolution. Yes. This match should have happened at class in Paris, but due to how last minute? The vac, the va. The va, the title got vacated. My God Almighty. I was gonna say the vacation, I mean, I guess, but due to how close to the show, the title got vacated, the title got vacated. They held it off. They held it off for a little while and announced later on. Who the opponent was gonna be. Personally, I feel like y'all should have did a battle, a royal or a tournament or something to determine who earned the right to take on. Stephanie again, give us a little bit newer talent, fresher faces. In this opportunity. You could have even brought up some girls from NXT to see if they can really work in the main roster, Chrome, and she could've worked in some girls from, you know, aa, DNA, like you could've given us something y'all chose to just. Hand a title opportunity to somebody, um, whereas Stephanie had to earn it in her own right first, right? And again, I'm really glad that they just didn't take the title away from her, this title opportunity away from her, and then just, Hey, this so and so and so and so, or, you know, every, uh, tournament to whatever. Yeah, really glad that that stuffy keep her rightful number one contender ship. Um, and going straight into predictions. Flash and Desario are going with the genius of the sky. While everybody else on the same page, LA will Rain Supreme. Um, Desario did say that he was going eo because the Kabuki warriors will cause Stephanie leading to a food between Oscar and eo. Ooh. I mean, I could see that there. I can totally see that, but I can also see them getting into, you know, interfering and Stephanie being the one to capitalize on that. And then that's what starts to feud. Yeah. I feel like I was gonna say, that's where I'm at, is I feel like they, they, Oscar. Ask us specifically. Yeah, like, because you could tell Kyrie wants nothing to deal with it. Kyrie looks like she's a child in the middle of a bad divorce. I made that joke a couple weeks ago. Did you really? Yes. I made it to you while we were watching Raw. I don't remember that.'cause I remember seeing it on Facebook on one of the wrestling groups that I followed. I made the joke and then the, and then the jokes hap happened on Facebook. But I definitely made the joke Don't to first You don't remember that. I'm gonna be a thousand percent honest. All right. I don't remember that, but Okay. Yeah. Gotcha. Let me no more, I'll, I'll, I'll give it to you. I, I personally don't remember. It's been, it's been very hectic. It has been. It, I barely remember what week it is. Or what day it's, I I feel like that's fair. All of my days are starting to blend. But no, Kyrie you could tell, wants really nothing to do with it. She wants everybody to get along. Right. And Oscar's like, you know what? I'm gonna just, you know, kinda help you, even though you have specifically told me you don't want my help. I don't know what they're trying, I don't to do with this. Don't. But at the same time, it seems like she's like. Going character wise, it seems like she's getting sick of being a baby face and just wants to forcefully make herself a heal via this. I mean, yeah, but like I said, uh, Oscar, like I was going into the same train of thought though. Oscar's going into Oscar specifically, not the couple warriors, but Oscar specifically Yeah. Is going to get involved. She's gonna cause a distraction in the opposite way of what she wants. Okay. That's how Stephanie's gonna win the match. Stephanie's going to event, and then I can see the feud happening between Oscar and eo. Stephanie being a woman of pride and honor telling EO she can have a rematch because she didn't like the way she won, in which that'll be how she retains the title claim. Yeah, I mean, I could totally see it too, because again, it would work beautifully exactly the way you said it though. That if that's how they really work it into the storyline, that would be the best way possible. Oh my god. Yeah. But I am so excited'cause this match is going to be amazing. It is. Can you get on commentary? Yo Yo. I'm pretty sure that match cus dude, I'm pretty sure that man had a heart attack. This last Tuesday at NXT Homecoming. Yeah, the doubles. The double doubles kiss from Stephanie and r. Mama. Ma. That man definitely had a heart attack on that commentary booth. Pretty sure he went home and took like four cold showers. Oh Lord. Alright, next match up mixed tag. Team action. Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch of the vision. As we were talking about the other two in the group earlier, take on CM Punk and his wife newly brought back to the ring after 10 years. AJ Lee, I am so excited to see her in the ring again. These promo battles between the four have been absolutely. Oh my God. They have been beautiful. I, I was telling, um, one of my friends the other day. Therapy. Therapy. Yeah. Only, only in Milwaukee. Can you get a chant about therapy Only in Milwaukee. Right.'cause we got it for, we got it in Milwaukee. But that also reminds me of an a EW show that I went to before you started getting Crossroads. Yep. Beer and cheese. Beer and cheese. That was beer. And I remember you telling me that. Um, no, but. In all, in all honesty, I was telling my friend about, um, this last promo battle that happened on Monday Night Raw and where punk had said, you know, when you two come out, we have to listen to two these songs. Um, or city entrances. But you know, with us, I don't mind hanging cults of personality up on the shelf to watch this little lady light it up and I'm just like, oh, that type of love is so adorable, dude, when I am married, if that is not my re the way they support each other, the way they are with each other, yes. That is not my relationship. I don't want it throw the whole damn thing old. And I, I love the, you know, they also went into. Hey, you left 10 years ago. Are you gonna be okay to be in the ring? Is ring Rus going to be, is ring Rus gonna be a thing? How's your neck?'cause that's why she left. And her saying again, oh, she stated that. Yeah, but she also stated she needed the mental break. Yeah. But she, and hence why we got the therapy chance going. Yes, definitely. Um, but my thing is, is like, I agree the. Will this, will the neck affect her? And she did say, I don't know. Um, you know, it's been 10 years. I have no clue what I'm capable of. And you've already called me erratic. My favorite line from her that night had to be, I'm a Puerto Rican from New Jersey. Sometimes I shank a chick as if it was the most normal thing to say. No, no, we ain't would've lost over what you just said. Like you didn't just say what the hell you just said. Yeah. Well, no, no, no, no. One of my favorite ones was. Think they were on ES, espn. Okay. To promote Russell Palooza. Okay. One, her not knowing who Caleb Williams is, was hilarious. She fully admit, she's like, dude, I is that somebody in sports? I don't watch sports. I play video games and I read comic books. If you want my opinion on him or any opinion on him, talk to my husband. He'd have a better understanding. Yeah. Secondly, it was the. I don't know what's gonna happen. For all I know there might be a four way kiss between us. Yeah, I, and I'm taking to Twitter and like that 100% will not be happening. I love that. And I love the whole, I'm seeing punk. I am AJ's husband type thing. When she came out and she's like, let me introduce myself. My name is AJ Lee. And it's like, oh, I love this. Right? The fact that he's so willing to take that backseat for her. Oh yeah. So she can have her shine and her light is especially, especially after 10 years, because I mean, you gotta think he had it a little earlier than her going back in a w. He did when he made the Richard to, Aw, you're right. He had a little bit, but he's also shy. But also he was also in the re He's also had a longer career than she has. Mm-hmm. So that doesn't really s like it surprises me, but it really doesn't surprise me. Yeah. Because like if you look at the Becky and. Such situation. Neither one of'em is necessarily willing to take a backseat for the other. No, but they're willing to, but they're willing to share that spotlight. Yeah. Together. Yeah. If we look at like Natalia t Hej or, uh, Tyson kid. Yeah. Tyson kid hated being in the backseat, daddy being in nanny's husband. Whereas like punk is like, hi, I'm, I'm her husband. I'm gonna, you know what? I'm gonna take the shine when it's my turn. Yeah. Okay. But also I'm gonna let her have that'cause she also has earned it. Yeah, EV. Very much so. I gotta say with her being back, there's a lot of things I am very excited to see her in and uh, a very pretty title I'm excited to see around the waist. Oh, she would look so good with that. Uh, Intercontinental championship. Not only that, I'm thinking world, I think. We moved them to SmackDown so she can, uh, take the WWE e women's title.'cause I think it's a lot prettier. I mean, I think it's a lot prettier if they were to move them. It's a lot more elegant and it's not as bulky. We'd have to finish up this feud first. Or, or, or you know, the next round of shake up or whatever. We move them there, we swap. Oh wait, no that's not a thing anymore. But you can actually, like you trade and draft. Well, we'll see the champions, we'll see what happens. But yeah, I mean, who says they have to be champions to be, you know, for her to go over there? Um, going into our predictions, money in the bank. Oh, and rumble's right around corner. Would you predict her winning in the rumble now that she's back? I would love to see it. Do I, do I necessarily think it's gonna happen? Probably not. But just to hear her in the Women's rumble would be great. I would've loved to have seen her for the first Women's Rumble. She kind of helped light or, uh, spark the flame that got it going. Yeah, no, I agree. But seeing her in this one after 10 years away from the rain, I don't wanna see her in this one. I don't wanna see her in this next rumble. Why? Because they're in Saudi. Oh, this next rumble's in Saudi. I don't wanna see that for her. Her first rubble back and she has to go to a country where she's treated like less than trash. Now I'm good. Yeah. Well, we'll see eventually what happens if she participates in it or if she participates in the next one. Anyways, looking into our predictions,'cause we did get sidetracked a little bit, but it's AJ Lee, so it's okay. In the, on this podcast. I was gonna say, our sidetrack actually leads, leads into it. Um, meant something for what we were talking about. It just wasn't one of our random tangents. Your random tangents, our final rants, you'll get on them tangents with me occasionally. Occasionally, okay. It's still bad when we have DeRio. It's worse when we have DeRio and we love you DeRio. But it's worse when we have desario because then what normally would take us. Five, 10 minutes as a tangent takes 25 to 30 minutes as just a tangent. That's why we have hour long podcasts when Desario is here. Love you again. But the truth doesn't lie. All of us A, aside from two going AJ and punk cauldron and Tico, you are grounded. You went against my girl. And that's all I have to say on that one. Take us into the next one, pyro. Wow. Wow. Are you giving a reasoning from Desario or like, was there something else? I was always, because aside from that, they're grounded and I'm done with this. Wow. Just, yep. Nope, just screw them, huh? Mm-hmm. Yep. Nope, that, that's it. I, I have open, I was say Rio's only reasoning for Seth and Becky dropping is that there's gonna be some kind of miscommunication there. Yep. And that's what's gonna be, all right. Going into our next match, WWE E Championship. Cody Rhodes, drew McIntyre. Yeah, Lord. Uh, well, it's been a while since Drew has been in the picture. Um, not as long as you think. And his recent feud with Orton was actually really good. I think it helped get him into the situation. Plus we really only got here'cause,'cause of that feud Drew, after their match last week, wanted to try to attack Orton. Yeah. Cody came out and made the save'cause you know. I felt Randy, we don't really have co. Yeah. I gotta save my mentor type shit. Exactly. I will say we kind of had a full circle moment last night. Mm-hmm. I didn't get to watch smack. I'm not, I call clips on social stuff. Yeah. Okay. And they highlighted something. Okay. Do you remember about five years ago? Yes. Four or five years ago, drew and Roman's view. Yes. And how Roman told him that at one point you're going to be in my position. Mm-hmm. You're gonna be in my chair. Yep. What I, you know, chasing. And then you're gonna, and Drew had that moment. Mm-hmm. And he acknowledged it last night to Cody. Yep. I saw that talking about how five years ago I was you with the red hot baby face with what everybody wanted. I was chasing the gold. I was you. Yeah. I was in your position and you're gonna relook at it in a few years. When I tell you this, you're gonna say, I was right. Because what he went on about how, how the fans can really switch up on you. Oh, yeah. Because I, I'm not gonna lie, I love Drew, but he has a point. He does. Brought Daniel Bryan won the WWE e title number of years ago. Oh yeah. Biggest baby face ever. Royal Todd's baby face fans turned on him. Drew carried us through the goddamn pandemic era of the WWE E. Mm-hmm. Soon as fans got got the chance, they switched up on him. Do we not realize how much work this man has put in? He's not wrong. No. Cody heed his warning. Heed his warning.'cause he's pretty damn very much got up. He's been around the block a lot. Long enough to know. Mm-hmm. That he's not just blowing smoke up your ex. I was like. You can't really say that he's been around a bit longer.'cause didn't they kind of come in around the same time? Drew was also doing this in Europe before coming to the states for wwe e Well, I know, but like, so he's, he's got a co not much. Okay. Not much longer than Cody, but he's got a few extra years. Mm-hmm. Compared to Cody. Uh, but no, I'm looking forward to what is going to be a good match. I struggled. Yeah. I'm not gonna lie to you. I struggled to decide. Who I thought was gonna win.'cause I can make a case for both. And I mean, aside from that, what Cody won this back at Summer Slam the title. This will be his first offense. Not only is this his first offense since then, but both title reigns of his were mediocre and although we really wanted to see it off of Roman, what if you really done with it? No, that first title of written was kind of boring. It was like he had a few highlight moments. Yeah.'cause like his view with KO was. Absolutely amazing. Yeah. His match with styles, the I quit match with Styles was really, really good. The I Quit Match was with, with with Styles, you remember, but outside of that, like, but me, yeah. Okay. Predictions, uh, going into our prediction, one man rides alone and it is cauldron. Cauldron is Team McIntyre. While everybody else has gone with the American nightmare, Cody Rose. I ain't got no reasoning for Cauldron. He's still grounded. You're just gonna completely have him disowned right now. Yep. Till, till I decide here. Here's the thing is when me and Coron were talking about it, and this pertains back to the form the previous match, me and him were talking and he goes, I am pretty much gonna go. Rollins Lynch, because I'm not familiar with aj. Cool, fine, whatever. So what do I do? I send him some AJ matches. Here's the ones that I feel are the best to show you who and how great she is. He watches them, and then we still get Lynch and Rollins as the answer. I'm kind of hurt. I'm very hurt by that. You know what I. Well, forgive him this one time. No. Give me, can I defend Cauldron for a second? What? Are you his lawyer? Can I? No, but I've been in this position and so have you and so has flash. He went with familiarity. I made him familiar. You didn't though. Cool. You sent him a couple. Matches. He already had his pick locked in. He went with what he knew. And you know what? When he told me originally that he was going with that, I told him he was still grounded. He went with what he knew. Okay, but you give the same excuse for flash and you've given your yourself the same excuse when it comes to people you are familiar with. Even after I make you familiar with both people. Explain the excuse for punk. I know he's familiar with punk. He's familiar with punk. At this point, I can't, I can't protect him for going against punk. Okay. But I can make a case for him in RU and not rooting, but voting against aj. Now, after this, if once he has actually become. A lot more familiar with her work as we continue to send him stuff on her. Mainly you? Yeah. After this. Mm-hmm. Now that she's gonna be back about full time. Yes. As he gets more familiar, I can no longer protect him. This will be my one and only chance at trying to get you to maybe minimalize his punishment right now. Maybe. Okay. Made of event. I tried Coron. I really did. I love you, dude. Main of event. Main of event. All right. Something that has been going on since the debut in 2002. Uh, this view really picked up about 2003, but you know, separate sides. Both, you know, top stars is what they were looking at. Kind of like. His feud with Orton came in at the same time. It's been parallels and they're going straight. John Cena, Brock Ner. Now the return that nobody saw. Yes, nobody saw coming. Now take us through a bit of their history. So Feud really started back in like oh three early days. Both young guys really trying to prove. Uh, to be that like next Big star Lesner had a little bit more backing to him, was really promoted while Sena almost gets fired. Yes. Eventually, you know, as their trajectories kind of came forward, they, they achieved different levels of success. Yes. Cena, you know, his first row title being the US title? Mm-hmm. Lesner being the youngest world champion in the company. Mm-hmm. For the longest time we got to see, you know, Lesner really kind, burnt out, mentally, burnt out, emotionally, really just didn't wanna be around. So he left. Mm-hmm. Seen up, picked up the ball, and just ran, kind of became the face of the company. F for a really long time. Mm-hmm. Uh, fast forward from oh four. Post him leaving. Yes. He went to UFC, right? He went to the NFL first. Oh, okay. Mind you, a man that hadn't played in the NFL for at least a decade mm-hmm. Makes the LA almost makes the roster. He's one. Like legit. It was behi between him and like one other person at the F at the deadline of making final roster cuts. Okay. That tell, that tells you what kind of athlete this man is. Yeah, definitely. Then he jumps to the UFC. Fast forward 2012. Yeah. This is what I started watching. This is where you now are starting to get familiar. Mm-hmm. This is post, I wanna say mania. I believe so. Yeah. It was the raw after mania, he called me back. He attacked Cena, they set something up. Mm-hmm. That, that, that now starts, that now we news a rivalry from o from other perspectives.'cause now it's, you have been, I'm here to showcase dominance. Mm-hmm. And you know, win championship, whatever. Yeah. Cena being the guy of. That was the face of the company for so long, kinda like, yo, you ain't been here. You ain't earned that, right? Mm-hmm. Ba. This also debuted the Suplex City offense. I loved that comment that he made about it. You wouldn't have Plexity. I made Plexity from Cena. Yeah, you're not wrong, but. You know, we didn't really, again, the, these two haven't really crossed paths a lot. No. They're six in the, uh, two years that they've been with the company on and off the two years. The two decades. Two decades. There we go. 20 years. Uh, they've crossed paths about six times. Lesner being the one to win out the majority. Yeah. This is now match number seven. After he, after c, after Ners return at summer, slam attacking Cena much like he did on that wall after Minya about 10 years ago. Mm-hmm. This matches is definitely pride, respect, and for Cina redemption, it could be redemption, especially'cause, you know, he's on his way out the door. You have the upper hand with me. I wanna leave on the upper hand. Exactly. Yeah. Um, so go ahead and bring this into our predictions. So all of us, aside from one, are going Cena Coron has chosen Brock Leer and you remain undecided. I do. And your reasoning for this being because I know the history between the two. Yes, I know. Realistically let. Ma putting this match together. Mm-hmm. I feel like Lesner would be the smart option, but I can also see Cena being the smart option.'cause again, why kick the man down when he's done so much for your company? Like he's going out on his terms. Mm-hmm. You are letting him go out on his terms. Why? Why mess with that? Why give him the L? Right? Why have him. Lose a match that really we didn't need in the grand one we didn't need. But in the grand scheme of things, this match means next to nothing. Yeah. This is a match to have a match. This is another stop on Senior's retirement tour. You know, obviously this is just lesser trying to, to spoil everybody's phone. This is the equivalent to when Logan Paul called out Cina. I see. See, but I can see a lot more reasoning behind Logan Paul. This is, but again, Logan being newer to the business, this was seen as way of kind of dishing out more knowledge, giving out more, you know, giving back. To newer talent and younger talent. And I gotta say, as much as I hate Logan Paul for a lot, a number of things I will give my respects to him for what he said about Cena after the match. Oh dude, on his honest podcast, he said it Cena really does, like he gave Cena so much praise. Mm-hmm.'cause of how well that man can work. Yep. Sense because of how well he moves, because of the knowledge. Uh, going on that same light, Ms just did an interview recently. He was like, you know, I'm kind of missing him in the ring just a little bit. He is like, you know, Sena gave a lot of knowledge to me. Cena is looking to, you know, leave a lasting impression and, you know, give knowledge to a lot of mm-hmm. The next generation. Yeah. I was part of that next generation that Sena kind of helped build to teach and build and mold. So I wanna be the, like with Sena retiring, I kind of wanna step into that role where I know I've been here a while, I've been, I've been, you know, I've been here a long time. I have a lot to say. Mm-hmm. I have a lot that I can give back to this company. Yeah. Much like Sena did for me. I wanna be able to do that for others. And, you know, looking at his retirement tour, could you see even like on a Monday or something, a match between these two? Ms. And Ms. And I'm surprised he wasn't initially on the docket, right? Because that feud back in 2011. Mm-hmm. For the title, for the Title one cemented Mrs. Career. Mm-hmm. Like, like you don't talk Mrs. Ms. And his career without that moment, without that feud, without that match, without Cena. Yeah. Sena kind of helped elevate MS to the star that he is now. Mm-hmm. I would've loved for, it didn't have to be, you know, this meaningful, super big Yeah. Uh, thing. Hell, you could have given me, you know, the, the storyline of while he was champion Ms. Sena for the title. Obviously Miss Falling Short, but, you know, Hey, you beat me for the WW title at Mania in 2011. Now I beat you. Now it's, I still gotta redeem that title match a decade plus later. Mm-hmm. I, I am a little upset that we didn't get that. At this point, if I don't see a tribute, but to miss like we've seen to many of his other great opponents, we might in the next match. Definitely. Well, we have till December. Do you think, but do you think he's gonna be able to get a skull crushing finale on Rock Le? Okay. Probably not. Okay. But like at least the attempt being there would be enough for me. You know what? Uh, I think, I think the one he should attempt and get would be an RKO fully, uh, wait until your next opponent to try to get a skull crushing finale. Especially if ISM would be very poetic. Oh my God. Well, at that point then I don't need him to give the tribute to. So man, by hitting this skull crushing finale, you'd still do it though. It'd be viewed your, I would like to it. Use your move against you. I mean, I feel like that's fair. Um, that does conclude the, uh, oh my god, my brain is blanking. Russell Palooza Preso. Yay. Thank you for saving me on that one. My brain just went, Hey, what are we talking about again? Oh, mom brain is so bad. Yeah, please reboot. My, my, my mom brain is terrible. That and little Baby Crossroads has been nursing a very nasty cough the last couple days. So yeah, it's been a very hard sleep as of the last week. Again, re uh, pre-show to Russell Palooza. We will be back with our recap sometime, uh, early next week. We hope you guys enjoy the show. We are very excited for it and we'll see you guys in the next one later, later.
