a very historic moment in time in this company's

history in the fall. Our Universal Champion on

Monday Night Raw is Seth Rollins. The cornerstone

now of SmackDown Live is Roman Reigns. Let me

stop you right there, cuz I already know what

your final question is gonna be, okay? And I

don't appreciate people putting words in my mouth.

And I don't appreciate people trying to tell

the story of my life to fit their narrative,

okay? Eight years ago, I walked into this casino.

Now I'm cashing my chips and walking away from

the table. I won the game. What I do with the

rest of my life from here on out is my business.

I answer to no one. This time the million dollar

man didn't get what he wanted. Because I can't

be bought. So if you excuse us, it's time for

us to go do the thing that I want the shield

to be remembered for. That's kicking serious

ass. Hello and welcome to Mayhem Mikes. This

is episode 51. This is the first episode since

WrestleMania. Ryan, the Unevenful, Merkley is,

he's off getting ready for cashing in his chips.

Joining me for the first time, and I think over

a year, is returning Alex, Mr. Gravy Moose. Hello,

sir. or the producer, whatever the hell you're

gonna call. Hello, could I talk like Ryan for

the entire episode? Stop it. Stop it. Don't do

that. You're gonna get me in trouble. Stop it.

He can come at me, bro. Yeah, stop it. Don't

do that. Yeah, it's been probably about a year

or so. Yeah, something like that. I think it

was... And since then, I still watch wrestling.

I'm more infuriated with it now than I've been

in a long time I am not thrilled with the WWE

product right now it like I knew the shield was

never going to like You know last for decades

and decades, but okay so when they came on the

scene in 2012 I was like damn who are these guys

damn they're just coming in and taking over damn

like before Dean started going crazy character

lunatic like I loved I love everything that that

that Jonathan good did as Dean Ambrose I absolutely

do but I've didn't really forget but i'm like

alright in the early days of the shield he was

on the mic it wasn't just it wasn't set at first

it was dean and he was doing the stuff and whatever

i just i love their theme song i love this like

basically you know combat boots and basically

police like basically a swat team yeah but wasn't

the idea originally cm punks for their basic

their entire gimmick i don't know like they're

yeah i was i remember hearing about him saying

like it was his idea to have them as like protection

and then it sort of spun around he wanted a different

person instead of Roman but Roman was picked

and blah blah blah that's all in you know the

backstory of of what ended up being like it turns

out like they made probably the coolest uh like

three -man team like because this isn't a case

of like evolution where it was a group of people

that were already established stars it's probably

the first time that there was a three -man team

that was that popular as for being Cool. I'm

saying in quotes since like the free birds like

30 years earlier. Yeah Cuz like cuz like I can't

think of anybody who started as a three -man

team. Yeah, you know what I mean? Like yeah,

so it's even then they might they might actually

be the best like debut of a three -man team ever

Oh, yeah, cuz they just came in and just tore

the place up And I mean I started watching like

I was out of wrestling for like a good 15 years

as a kid like I stopped watching probably around

98 99 so Like that and I didn't start watching

again until I was bored in college and there

was nothing to watch in the summer semester Yeah,

and I think it was it was Right after I started

watching right when Was it was Daniel Bryan screwed

out at summer slam or something? It was either

2012 or 2013 so because the shield was already

there and that's when I was watching and they

were cool CM Punk was cool And then CM Punk was

gone and they were cool. That was it Yeah. So

yeah. Um, so basically we're here to talk about

how we feel about WWE. We're here to kind of

talk about not necessarily review, but kind of

talk about the network, WWE network special,

the shields final chapter. Yeah. Um, the show

that Dean was paid 500 bucks for. Oh, I heard

the, okay. And we're also here to talk about

uh... john moxley's latest uh... first really

ever entered the jonathan good john moxley dean

ambrose whatever you want to call his care jonathan

good is the guy's real name uh... whatever you

want to call the character that he does and we're

probably gonna say dean ambrose are probably

gonna say john moxley it is just a thing because

it's so new at this point like a w just launched

with double of column like dean moxley or something

that'll work the um so the balding one out of

the shield yeah he's uh he he has never really

done he has twitter but he has like he follows

zero people um he's never really done anything

with the twitter thing and whatever when he was

in wwe um he doesn't really do interviews he's

not like that's not so when he was on jericho's

talk is jericho podcast i was like oh i have

to listen to this and We always talk about here

on mayhem mics about how Certain wrestlers most

if not all of them are like involved with make

-a -wish Obviously the face of make -a -wish

is John Cena, but you know yeah other WWE stars

do it as well. I didn't even know that he did

it No, they don't the only people they ever really

talk about doing it are They show Cena do it

they Occasionally Roman but not as much but it's

mostly Cena then like out of out of the blue

I think the second guy that does the most is

Titus O 'Neil. Yeah, they always show him doing

At then they'll show like Mark Henry or Big Show

and that's about it Yeah, and like I didn't realize

it all that he did like let alone a lot of it

apparently. Yeah, exactly So basically the shield

is no more Seth and Roman are doing their thing

still in WWE. Seth is currently Universal Champion.

He, you know, curb -stomped that idiot into the

ground. I am so dreading the next year of WWE

until this whole... Okay, so basically, Seth

is Universal Champion. Kofi Kingston is WWE champion

They currently introduced the new version of

the hardcore title, which is the 24 -7 champion

which according to I believe it was the The other

interview you had me listen to the part one of

two The Wade Keller interview. Yeah. Yeah the

Wade Keller interview something about Dean saying

or Wade asking him about the 24 -7 championship

or Wade saying something about the 24 -7 championship

and how it was actually USA Network's idea to

get better, like in X number of years, X number

of decades of WWE, I've never heard of a television

network having input into. This is because their

ratings have dropped so far. And like people

think, oh, they're doing just hovering about

two million, two point something. Yeah. But last

year, this time they were three million. Yeah.

Two years ago, they were four million. When I

started watching, it was like 3 .9, four million,

four and a half or so in 2012, 2013. They've

been losing 500 ,000, between 500 ,000 and a

million people, and they would bounce back now

and then, but for basically the last year, they've

been consistently losing like 10 to 15 ,000 viewers

every week, and they're not getting them back.

It's because the writing is terrible. The writing

is terrible. A lot of the matchups are boring

because it's the same ones over and over again.

Nobody's getting any momentum. And then it's

missing that little thing which is star power.

Some people don't have the charisma there. They

clearly don't have the drive. Some people do.

But a lot of times people run out of steam really

quickly. All the way was Andrew McIntyre he was

fantastic when he left and went to impact everywhere

else came back was really strong and now nobody

gives a shit. Yep They just don't handle it right.

No, they don't and After listening to the Dean

interviews, okay So I've listened to part one

of the Wade Keller interview because part two

has not been released as of this recording I've

listened to the Jericho interview and basically

both of these interviews Dean Dean, John Moxley,

whatever says, everything pretty much goes through

Vince. Like I'm Vince McMahon, bitch. Do what

I tell you. I mean, people had said that for

years back and forth that he was really hands

on, but nobody in the last, I would say 20 years

has really come out and said that. Like even

CM Punk's interview, the one that he got sued

over when he left. it was his complaints were

mostly about personal issues like because he's

a bit of an abrasive person so he might be a

little harder to get along with but everything

was about how it affected him. The Dean interviews

are basically they're not just how I feel it's

basically pouring gasoline on Vince McMahon setting

fire and saying you are the reason this company

is falling apart you should die or retire. Yeah,

and he's not he's saying things that some fans

have been saying for years should happen and

and it One thing to be a disgruntled employee

and say something but he's saying this and also

I believe he wasn't supposed to wrestle yet He

like from the interview it sounds like because

they're supposed to be like three months of or

whatever It is of a non -compete clause. Yeah

He told Vince that he was going to film a movie

And then he went and did a W's pay -per -view

So but again, they can't really do anything because

now what he's doing is he's testing him like

yeah He's testing the water that when they'll

eventually sue him or something Or if they try

to well, I don't think they can because they're

they're independent contractor contracts are

bullshit They don't they're not even really legal.

They haven't been tested in court. So You as

an independent contractor, you can't tell somebody

they can't work at another company. Yeah So that's

not how those contracts work So yeah, so he's

he's actually the first time where somebody is

that big that is coming out and is basically

He pulled his pants down and sort of pissing

and Vince His face and this thing. What are you

gonna do about it? Yeah, exactly It's a new version

of the kiss my ass club except it's Vince doing

the kissing. Yeah, and I don't know Okay, so

I don't know you don't know we don't know how

Vince is gonna react. I haven't seen to like

I've seen more about Stephanie talking about

Brock and so I gotta tell you Even on the hulu

versions of Ron smackdown the the smackdown version

isn't really cut to death Smackdowns just two

hours, but the raw version is cut from three

hours to an hour and a half The Sammy Zane thing

was in the Hulu version. So, you know, you could

have asked me about AEW. Was that scripted? Wasn't

it scripted? Because doubler nothing had just

happened. Yadda, yadda, yadda. Whatever. I gotta

say, when I watch the Hulu version of Raw, where

Paul Heyman is like reading the contract to Brock

Lesnar and Brock, I have a whole year? You didn't

know? How do you not know? Of course, how do

you think Brock doesn't know this shit? He doesn't

read the fucking contract. He just signs it.

The biggest thing to come out of these interviews

and there's little things here and there like

his complaining about the scripts that were sent

to him that where they were too silly or stupid.

Okay, that's a personal preference because somebody

like you mentioned like in our truth will do

it and be perfectly happy doing it and be happy

being that character. He was not happy being

somebody who was silly or somebody who would

be mocked. He comes from like CZW and like those

wrestling promotions where like they break light

tubes over your heads some of I don't care for

the bullshit crazy hard Core for the sake of

hardcore companies. That's where he came from

So he came from a very very different style of

wrestling. So I get his apprehension of that

What I don't necessarily agree with is like he

I don't know if he knows the difference between

saying something horrible And it's being horrible

or saying something horrible Because it'll get

you crazy heat Like not wanting to say something

about your friend having leukemia I get I get

how you do that at a personal level, but if you

had asked any Be like a Roddy Piper or any of

the old school guys They would have said the

most heinous horrific shit they possibly could

because they know that like Roman wouldn't take

it to heart because it's it's All for the heat.

It's all for that. It's not because it's something

he would actually mean so but he shouldn't have

said that I kind of don't. OK, so look at it

this way. I get both sides, basically, is what

I'm saying. If it had been me, I would have talked

to Roman, if he was my friend, and been like,

dude, I'm going to say some shit that's really

going to get people upset. It's going to get

crazy heat, but you know I love you, buddy. And

then he would have been like, yeah, he's from

a wrestling family. He would know. And then I

would have gone out there. and then you know

gone to the audience and I don't know what he

said but my in my head I was like what's the

worst thing that you could possibly say the worst

thing he could have possibly said was turned

to the audience and and talked with Roman there

and be like well hey I heard you got leukemia

I guess the audience got what they want you won't

be back anymore like he could have said something

like that yeah and we don't know probably what

it was yeah we don't know what he was supposed

to say because there were two different times

that he said on on the jericho interview that

he was supposed to say this one thing and then

they would later on yeah like later on he was

and the only thing i think it would be would

be him saying something about uh i guess the

fans get what they want you're gonna go away

forever like that's the only thing i could think

of because that would be something that they

would lose they would lose sponsors over that

or yeah something or even something like like

hey the fans finally get it they they wish cancer

upon you like something's horrible like it's

not it's not right i don't i don't think that

it's not something you should i think it's something

that you can say i don't think it's the right

thing to say but he was trying to behave like

uh like they should have never done that they

would have never done that it's like in wrestling

history people done shit like that have done

worse things it's just true it's it's from the

time period right like right now everybody's

focused on this and if they've got sponsors like

the the komen society whatever it's called like

the the cancer was yeah you don't want to be

messing with that yeah no exactly no like you

know i i think that's what dean said like that

second thing he was like i can't even i don't

even i can't even repeat it i wasn't even ever

going to say it because you know Susan G Coleman

that that that that institution that they would

have pulled out or whatever but Vince wanted

him to say these things and like What I loved

about these interviews was how open and how honest

Dean was about them like the whole time that

they they had changed his his Ambrose character

again the the second time like after the shield

broke up and they added like the siren to his

to his theme song and added the the Surgical

mask or whatever the hell it was. I'm like, what

the fuck are they doing to him? I mean, I listen

to this interview and I find out what it was

about how they wanted him to act like you know,

the audience was diseases and he didn't want

to catch what they had. I'm like, that is the

single worst, one of the single worst storylines

I've ever seen. Like, don't do it. And it's not

right for his character. It's something that

a chicken should heal or somebody would be doing.

Like when he says that, I love that when he says

like, he goes, our truth is the best. He goes,

Tell him to do one of the stupid shit be like,

all right, baby, let's go and he would do it

because it's that character It's the kind of

personality. Yeah, you got a you can't do cookie

cutter one size fits all like It's it's you got

to read the person with stone cold Steve Austin

say that no, oh because he's supposed to be supposed

to be a stoic badass It's like, okay. Well, you

know, is that something the Miz would say? Yes,

but that's the kind of character. He's always

been Yeah, so like it's got to fit that I can

tell you right now in my mind I can pinpoint

where Or his character fell apart and Vince made

it all stupid. Do you remember that time where

he was supposed to be like walking through the

blizzard? Was it when that they yes? When they

were when they had that they were snowed out

Yeah, and he was supposed to be supposed to be

walking with his like his tank top on through

the snow. Yeah, and then he's it's like Instead

of getting a car he walks a hundred miles and

apparently he does that in like the 30 minutes

of the show Yeah, and he gets there like what

do you know? Oh, I decided to walk to work today

like that that that thing was i believe that

was uh... it was uh... he was going to walk to

ww headquarters like he was pissed about something

and he was going to walk to headquarters from

whatever it was and it was it was so ridiculous

so beyond it was something that they wouldn't

have even done for a silly Person it didn't make

any sense and that's where it fell apart and

I you know I've never hears like I've never been

super high on some of the facial expressions

He made at the beginning like he was a little

over the top a little ultimate warrior You were

like a little too much contorting his face and

mouth And then he toned that down and he let

himself be a little more realistic for a while

Right and he came across as just an awesome badass

and that's sort of what he did at AEW He came

across as like not being fake And that's the

problem. I found that he was trying to be fake.

And then listening to his interviews, he's like,

why did he look and sound so fake? Because he

hated what he was doing, and he was doing it

just because they told him to. You know what

I mean? Like, when he's left to his own devices,

he's really good. And he's definitely, after

hearing his interviews, he's one of the best

talkers, for sure. Oh, he really, really is.

And I love the way they... Three different things.

that final WWE Raw, like after Raw thing that

Seth did before we leave this building, I need

some help. Roman Reigns, you know, come out and

they gave Dean that send off and that was the

funny thing, listening to some of the interviews,

Dean was like, they kept having me say goodbye

at all these shows and it's like, if I keep saying

it, am I actually going anywhere? Like kind of

a thing and it's like, but I love that Raw one

and... I love the interview that Michael Cole

did with the three of them. I think that was

a really, really great interview. And the final

chapter pay -per -view, not pay -per -view, the

special that was on the network, because it wasn't

billed as a pay -per -view. It was a special

event or whatever it was. First of all, I have

to say, and I've said this since we started this

podcast four years ago, the WWE Network search

functionality fucking sucks. Yeah, I put in the

shield final chapter. I the first thing it pulls

up is the promo for the for the event I put in

final chapter first thing that pops up is the

actual thing But I didn't know where the hell

to look for on the network to find the fucker.

It's not yeah It's not under this it's not under

that I'm like where the fuck is this damn thing?

I? Literally, here's the thing I had I looked

to find it like I logged into my network account

went to go search for it gave up and had to go

to a torrent site because I shouldn't be driven

to piracy when I literally own the right watch

it because I can't find it. And it's like, why

is it easier for me to find on a torrent site

than it is to find on the site that I'm paying

for? So it's one of those instances where I'm

like, I don't feel guilty about downloading a

copy because I have the right to watch a copy

if I can find it. Yeah, exactly. If you can't

find it, you can't watch it. I think to be honest,

after watching it, it seemed like a very hastily

put together special. It didn't feel like it

had the gravitas it really needed, at least at

the beginning, where they came out. There's a

couple matches beforehand and I honestly skipped

through them. I didn't even really bother. Okay,

so I watched the Finn Balor Elias match. Up until

I just was like, okay, I just want to know who

wins and obviously Finn wins I watched the and

don't get us wrong folks. This is not us commentating

on how like women's wrestling women's wrestling

whatever I watched part of the the route the

the riot squad Bailey and an ember moon match

I yeah, this is part of the beginning of it and

then I skipped the end of it Don't have any charisma

I think that's the biggest and it's not the women

it's 90 % of the of the wrestlers have no charisma

or have no there's nothing behind them makes

you Want to see their characters. They'd have

no personality Yeah So it's it's you watch for

the highlights like there they might be losing

Viewers because anything good that happens in

a match ends up on their YouTube site, right?

Like all the highlights from the weekend up there

anyway, so unless something really awesome Happened

so I mean it's not even like I'm burnt out because

I'm watching other wrestling that's really good

But I did want to see what happened with the

shield and they came out through the audience.

They did their whole their whole shtick and Was

really cool They all looked into it even though

some people were getting paid probably a good

20 or 30 times what other people were getting

paid Yeah, so that's special Few stories live

forever theirs is legendary. The Eye of Justice

is always watching. The Hounds of Justice are

upon us! I've never seen anything like this group!

We are the most dominant force in the history

of this company! You get out of our yard... or

we beat your ass. There is no force of nature

on this earth as powerful as the shield. The

future is now! I didn't sell out, I bought in.

Seth Rollins with a heist of the century! This

is the era of the Roman Empire. He's cashing

in! Abrams is champion! We haven't always gotten

along. We will always ride into battle together.

We're not an alliance. We're not a friendship.

We're a brotherhood. We don't bend. We don't

crack. We don't stop. We are the hounds of justice.

We are the shield. These three young men! change

the direction and change the history of WWE forever.

When we were in this ring together, we dominated.

Tonight, we witness the final chapter. The shield

will ride one last time. I'm sorry. You've been

in the company for seven fucking years. You've

given your blood, sweat and tears to this place.

You've had injuries to this place, to yourself

because of this place. Getting a, what I'm going

to call a Zach McGowan fee for your final appearance,

that's just wrong. Well, especially since the

network appearances are considered spat shows

and you get paid more usually. He got paid less

than you do at a house show. Exactly, and that's

not cool. He got what a local wrestler would

get to do a dark match at a house show that only

like a thousand people see. That's not even cool

because, again, regardless of whoever's opinions

or whoever's whatever, whatever he's doing, whatever

they're doing, whatever disagreements, whatever

the hell, the fact that he's leaving. You still

pay the man what he's worth for the physicality

for the athleticism for the in -ring work Like

come on. I guarantee you he got paid 10 times

what he got paid there. Maybe 15 to 20. He probably

got paid 10 to 20 grand To show up at the end

of AEW the end of double or nothing. Yeah, probably

So for one minute of work, he got paid more than

what he got there Yeah, and that's crazy. That's

just absolutely nuts. I love the shield aspect

of Final Chapter. I was happy. Yeah, it's the

Final Chapter. People always say it's Final Chapter

till they come back. I don't know if he's ever

coming back, at least not while Vince is alive.

No, I don't think he ever will. He didn't just

burn the bridge. He set it on fire and blew up

the river below with dynamite. Yeah, pretty much.

You would have a better chance of seeing Seth

show up at AW. I don't know if Roman will because

of his family ties. And that's the other thing.

All the news articles I see on my Google feed

are like, how many WWE stars are now going to

jump ship and go to AEW because it's a much better

this or it's a much better that and whatever

else. I don't know if I will be watched. If AEW

shows up on Hulu, sure, I'll check it out. I

have not yet watched Double or Nothing, but I

have it, and it actually will be the next episode.

The first time in four years, it's a non -WWE

product here in May on Mikes. We are actually

going to review AEW Double or Nothing next episode.

There are some matches in there that are kind

of throwaway because they just are, but the three

shows are like... One you have to watch for sure

is the Cody and Dustin Rhodes. Yeah The to give

you an idea of the kind of variety you're gonna

get then some of the wackiness and the funny

stuff You have to watch the pre show for the

battle royal, which is their version of like

the rumble and then For tag teams you got the

young bucks match and then you got Jericho versus

omega at the end and they're all worth watching

It's completely, you know, it's it's got a bit

of the 90s attitude era stuff thrown in but the

production value big thing for me was it looks

as good as ww and tna never got to that level

even when they were doing really well in like

2007 2009 there's been nobody that has the production

values of like they're of like a wcw and they

do now so as far as watching it i don't know

if you have cable or not it's going to be on

tnt yeah And like I said, hopefully they'll...

We don't get TNT in Canada, and most of their

programming gets split up amongst other cable

channels here. But their weekly show is going

to be on Bleacher Report, the website, because

it's owned by Terminator Media. And apparently

that can be viewed. They'll be streaming it live

every week, so you can watch it online if you

don't want to have a cable package for it. Very

cool. And they're gonna do pay -per -views, I

think, three to four times a year. So basically

every three or four months. Oh, very cool. That's

awesome. Yeah. Yeah, so I'm very interested in

that just to see the difference in production

and whatever and all that and different matches.

The funny thing is, I had to, because we all

knew. Like, it was no surprise when Dean, when

John released his first video on Twitter. as

John Moxley, it was like, ooh, hmm, interesting.

And, you know, I had to just search out on YouTube,

you know, John Moxley, AEW appearance, whatever,

and I basically saw the end of the whatever.

What was cool to me was when Jericho turns around,

he's like, what the hell are you doing here?

Because my favorite thing. They're trying to

do a really good job of not like... having too

many wwe people go over because that's what happened

to like wcw right view and tna and it fell apart

you got to pick the best people and pick the

right times right exactly so when jericho was

like what the hell are you doing here the first

thing i thought of was there um the dean ambrose

chris jericho like it was a steel cage match

but it was like It was that match. Oh, the Asylum

match? That's what it was. The Ambrose Asylum

match. That's what it was. Also known as the...

I called it the gardening match where it had

a whole bunch of gardening stuff. Yep. It had

a whole bunch of gardening tools. Chris, poor

Chris. He sold it. magnificently but he ended

up with all these tacks in his back and and and

whatever yeah like yeah that was the first thing

I thought of when I'm like ooh John Moxley and

Chris Jericho hmm what does that remind me of

oh so cool I still love the shield I will still

watch the shield stuff you know is it gonna suck

that they're not there anymore yeah sure but

it is what it is and I'm I'm okay with it Yeah,

hopefully this this pushes everybody to do better

all around right like it'll it'll hopefully up

the game of WWE which ups Game of a W which ups

the game of impact, you know, whatever's left

there in Toronto and And like what did one MLW

and Yeah, there's there's more wrestling options

out there now than ever so hopefully it ups the

game with everybody. Yeah, hopefully So, as I

said before, folks, AEW Double or Nothing will

be the first non -WWE episode we do here in Mayhem

Mikes in the four years that the show's been

online. Finally, Becky Lynch and AJ Styles have

got WWE Network specials out, I think. I think

Becky's WWE 24, so basically you follow Becky

for 24 hours or whatever it is a day. And then

AJ Styles is the 365, which is the full year.

So we'll get to that as well. I have no idea

who's going to be on the AEW episode. I know

Ryan, I know Optimus Solos or something, but

I know you are saying something. It's just going

to depend on who. is available at the time that

we decide to record it. Yeah, I'll be on it unless

I'm not on it. Exactly. Where can the people

Nearly seven years ago. We walked into this place

with one goal in mind to create a legacy Serving

out our brand of justice, but we didn't just

create a legacy We started a whole new culture

for this place, and we did it on our own terms

We've had the whole world throw us there's nothing

we haven't been through together so tonight come

hell or high water We go out and do it our way.

Believe that. Believe in the shield. Hey, I got

something else to say. For all you people who

live here in Seth Rollins country, it's no secret

Seth Rollins grew up right here in the Quad Cities.

So right now, I want you to look at this as an

example. We're just like any one of you. Anything

you want to do in your life. If you work hard,

if you put your mind to it, if you don't take

no for an answer, if you bust your ass. Until

you get to the finish line you can do whatever

you want in life and Seth Rollins Universal Champion

from right here is proof of that. If you want

proof that you can overcome any obstacle in your

life no matter how big or how small all you got

to do is look at this guy who overcame something

worse than any of us can even imagine. And you

know you can do it too and if you've learned

anything from the shield what the shield is about

It's about kicking down doors. It's about taking

what is yours. It's about not taking no for an

answer If somebody tries to tell you That you

can't do something that you can't be the thing

that you see yourself being you stick your middle

finger high in the air and you March forward

and you tell them the shield said so You just
