Six, five, six, six, six, seven, seven, seven, five, four, three, three, three, one. Pro wrestling fanatics, welcome back to another hot topic episode of the 10 count.

As always, I am at Audumina V to V. Richard Bronson, Vickery, joined on the other side of the screen by the man in the no.

He's a man where all the pros go to get their stories out there

mr john pause welcome back to the show brother rbv thank you thank you thank you thank you

yes sir uh great to be back with it as we sit here record a beautiful

saturday morning here on our neck of the woods the uh the where the world runs eastern

time zone uh you're there on the shore i I'm in the heartland of it, all the OH. I owe this week, Paz, we've got some modern, some up-to-date headlines. I know we like to pepper in the past, the present, the future. We're going to talk about what's happening in the now.

We've got a lot of different companies that we're going to talk about. But pause to kick things off since we sat down and recorded, kind of the biggest news that has been rocking the world of professional wrestling.

And it is that the WWE has sold

out WrestleMania

Yes, not this upcoming

WrestleMania in 2026, but

2027, the showcase of the

Immortals will be heading over

to the desert Saudi Arabia

pause. What was your initial

reaction as the story

broke? The initial reaction is like, wow, TKO, they are just whoever the highest bidder is, boom, you got it. We'll take it. Hey, let's announce New Orleans. Oh, Vegas outbid him? Nope, Vegas it is. Hey, Boston, you are going to get John Cena, the hometown boy, his final match. Oh, no, sorry sorry, Washington, D.C. I bid you. We're going to move that match. Oh, Saudi Arabia. How much more than Vegas? Wait, what? $100 million? Over $100 million for one show? Oh, we'll just make it Super WrestleMania. We'll have another WrestleMania States. Saudi said, nope, we want the WrestleMania TKO sold out. NW.O sold out style, Eric Bischoff style, sold out. But, I mean, they're a publicly traded company. They're out for the almighty dollar. They're out for the shareholders. You're out for the dollars and cents. So I guess it makes sense. And they really just wanted to go in for the dollar. And I mean, what can you say? I wasn't going to Vegas anyway this year because it's way too much money. I'm definitely not going to Saudi Arabia because it's way too much money. Hopefully it'll be on in the afternoon and I get to enjoy it then. But man, what a what a whirlwind because it just seems like they'll just do anything for the almighty buck. You know, there's one interesting point that you hit on their posit.

I am 100% on board with you.

And I do love when they go overseas for those things because in our old age,

I am getting used to these afternoon shows.

I'm okay with being in bed by nine.
