Wrestling soup is intended for a mature audience.

0:07.0

Wrestling soup, I am Anthony Missionary Thomas, joined along with the Kevin Castle.

0:12.0

Yes, sleepy Kev Castle, like sleepy Joe Biden, but younger.

0:16.0

Much, much younger.

0:18.0

Much younger for now.

0:20.0

Biden is already crossing that triple digits at this point, right?

0:42.2

How old is, how old is he 80? I think he is. I think he's close to 80. He's got it. Yeah, I think he's 80 on the button, right? Is he really? Okay. I don't know. Someone in the chat now. I don't find this. I know he's old. But Sleepy Joe Biden will not be watching the Royal Rumble, which everybody's excited about coming up this weekend.

0:47.0

We got through a decent, I thought a decent raw numbers say otherwise.

0:48.7

The raw results are in.

0:49.9

It only got three million.

0:51.5

So there's only three million.

0:52.9

Yeah, it dropped.

0:53.6

Christ.

0:58.9

And I've already seen the little naysayers coming out about WWE getting sold again.

1:00.6

And it's like, come on, guys. I don't know, because anytime there's bad news to report about WWE,

1:05.4

it's already time for WWE to go bankrupt or get sold or change somehow because they have to fix it like everything

1:13.7

is immediate not enough and nothing three million is pretty good for wrestling these days

1:18.3

especially since the other company can't do fucking you know 300,000 right well that's true too but

1:25.3

they won't they won't ever consider that kept you know no but yeah yeah, I got the World Rumble coming up. What did you think of RWA? Did you enjoy it raw? I thought it was okay. I mean, I liked it the week before much better, but this week it was all right. I mean, I like that it's ending earlier. Like I said, for the for the sake that I do a Monday show.

1:44.9

I mean, we still go late like the old days anyway, but, you know, I like that it ends a little.

So, I mean, I wish they'd be like, you know, Netflix, you know, anything could happen.

2:02.4

Dad, I'm already over be like, you know, Netflix, you know, anything could happen.

2:23.8

Dad, I'm already over that in like four weeks now in three weeks. I already want like a time frame that it actually ends. But it looks like it's never going to end around 11. So it's like a little bit of little few minutes past 1030. It looks like it's going to end now, which I'm okay with that. I wonder if they'll do something like that having an end at 11 again for the days after big ples like if you're going to go and have yourself a three hour or a three and a half hour raw maybe you want that after royal rumble
