1:48.0

It's almost like the Dolph Ziggler syndrome here and I don't feel like I'm alone here in thinking that Baron Corbin deserves more.

1:58.0

I mean, he won the Andre the Giant Battle Royal.

2:01.0

He was Mr. Money in the Bank. He retired Kurt Angle. There's been so many amazing moments, but I just feel like there's more to come.

But like I said before we were talking like we get some awesome guests on this show. I feel very lucky.

3:16.0

A little jealous. You get sit in there. You know, and the chair and speak with like again, Margot Robbie. Like we said, the movie.

3:22.0

Robbie loves wrestling, by the way. It's crazy how many like big time Hollywood actors do. I mean, I think it's because they see the performance and I think the main difference for us is like we have instant gratification where they have to wait till they're films out.
