NOTE: I did not put timestamps because when we go live, we move from topic to topic too frequently.
Stat of the Week: Twenty-one years ago on September 26, D'Lo Brown defeated Mark Henry to regain the WWF European Championship at Unforgiven. This would be Brown’s fourth and final reign with the title; he shares the record for most titles.
"Charlamagne, are we live?" is a reference to the famous interview that Ray J had on The Breakfast Club back in 2011.
The Rock’s last match was at WrestleMania 32 against Erick Rowan; it lasted six seconds.
Roman Reigns-Brock Lesnar has been the main event of two WrestleManias: 31 and 34. They also faced each other two more times in 2018: at Greatest Royal Rumble and at SummerSlam.
The Rock was injured after both of his matches against John Cena at WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29. The injury sustained at WrestleMania 29 did push back the filming of Hercules (2014); since then, The Rock hasn’t been allowed to be fully active in the ring due to insurance purposes.
Roman Reigns' worst promo. Roman Reigns' best promo.
When we recorded on Thursday, that was the three-year anniversary of John Cena-Roman Reigns at No Mercy 2017. This has been their only one on one match, on both TV and pay-per-view, so we definitely need to see that again.
What killed WCW and what Fam wanted to happen at Clash of Champions during the WWE Universal Title match: the Finger Poke of Doom.
The Samoan Swat Team consisted of Samu and Fatu, the latter went on to be more known as Rikishi, the father of Jimmy and Jey Uso. Recently, Jey said that he would like to reboot the SST.
Road Warrior Animal and Heidenreich—aka not my or anyone else’s Road Warriors—won the WWE Tag Team Titles at Great American Bash 2005, they defeated MNM. (I saw this ppv.)
Love and a Bullet was released 18 years ago.
DRAKE IS NOT A CULTURE VULTURE. Drake also knows who Marques Houston is.
SGG started appearing on Cheap Heat back in 2015. His famous “The Boy is Mine” story is the greatest moment in the show’s history. I can’t find the link because it was around the time that Grantland was being shut down, but I believe it was around fall of that year. Also that might’ve been the one where Fam’s favorite rapper makes a cameo as well.
Cody won the ROH World Title, the IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Title, and the NWA Heavyweight Title in the time between leaving WWE and starting AEW, so he "earned" his current role as a top guy, but the case I was making is that those companies had to do that because of where guys like Cody were previously. SGG makes the case that guys like Miro and Shawn Spears have left WWE to play the same role in AEW, but are complaining about being misused.
Crowbar was a wrestler in WCW, so I highly doubt WWE would use that as a name for a Retribution member. [Ed note: OK, but stranger things have happened.]
Shoutout to Circuit City.
Fam, the 49ers were not trying to cheat in SuperBowl XLVII. The Ravens, on the other hand...
Since 2018, aka his first full year in NXT, Kyle O’Reilly’s record is 21-22 in all TV/PPV matches.
Ashante Adonis was formerly known as Tehuti Miles. He is a former MCW Rage Television champion, when he was known as Elijah King.
On July 1, 2018, the Street Profits started appearing on Raw, even though they were still in NXT, they held the NXT Tag Team titles during their Raw segments. They officially drafted to Raw on October 11th of that year.
James Franco is the quintessential white boy.
This is my favorite place to eat in Minnesota, I order the Chicken Drummies.
I have never had a Jucy Lucy. I don’t own any Fenty underwear...yet. I’ve also never had a Backwoods.
Shouts to Tyler Herro; kinda shouts to Spooky Black.
Enzo Amore defeated Neville to win the Cruiserweight title at No Mercy 2017 in a Beetlejuice fit.
Rikishi’s “I did it for The Rock” promo took place on October 9, 2000.
Nelly's Chris Jericho shoes.
