Cultaholic Wrestling Podcast 207: What Is The Best Surprise WWE Royal Rumble Appearance?

[@JahlisMan]

got covid last december. symptoms weren't that bad, but recovery to full strength took half a year, no joke. get well soon, Jack!

[@tvmanin]

What a puff 😅😅

[@sxblck]

Get better soon Jack! Having said that... I so unironically love Maffew's pink kitty cat headphones!!

[@JagerLange]

If I needed headphones and buying the pink cat ones saved me a few quid, then I'd go for it - even if I cared, I'm a shut-in so no one's gonna see me wearing them anyway... go for it, I say.

[@kingcavon25]

Get well soon Jack

[@StevenScodes]

Wishing Jack all the best and all of you guys. Get well soon Jack! Glad you guys are back for the podcast!

[@saptakbose1265]

Maffew referring to Ruby Soho as Ruby Riot, all I was thinking was "That's not m name! *clap clap* That's not my name!"

[@peterohlhornjr]

Glad you guys are back. 2022 is going to be fine. Get well Jack!!✌

[@MichaelMoranJr]

I’m at home isolated because I got covid… thank you guys for this I need it desperately. Hope you feel better quickly Jack

[@emanueltwr]

Hope you recover quickly Jack.

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Honestly this makes me miss doing podcasts! No lie I look forward to seeing these every week and hearing that catchy jingle before kicking off Le Chat! But 2022 I hope will be a fruitful year in Pro Wrestling! I'm getting back into the habit and I got some supporting to and a streak to extend! Cultaholic Wrestling is for the people!

[@wyzeguy6]

Under 3 hours?! What a sprint! Another great podcast!

[@daviddikkers3671]

26:00 right, so the backstory behind that war, the de cock's won, and cause the family de Dick's lost, we had to change our name to Dikkers, and whilst we still live in the shadows, it's nice that you have acknowledge the feud that once was

[@cjq23]

13:25 that “baby face celebrates title” from Ross reminds me of a story Ben Foster (Watford GK for those who don’t know) said on his podcast, Watford scored a goal, forgot which game but Mike Dean played advantage and ran past Tom Cleverly and said “Assist: Mike Dean”. I can imagine Mike Dean doing the same in a wrestling match if he was the referee 😂

[@dargoid]

Mike Dean would be a banger of a personality in wrestling.

[@dankicks]

My fave rumble cameo was Honky Tonk Man in 2001. That poor Guitar 🤣

[@tonyrigby2222]

2:12 Matthew’s face when he sees Ross’s ear 😂

[@sirajp2259]

That unreal pop Edge got says it all.

[@mortezarostami7587]

also better than cm punk

[@shanestephens4728]

@@mortezarostami7587 But if Punks return was that bad, why would you suggest Becky do the same thing Punk did? Can’t have it both ways, pal.

[@mortezarostami7587]

@@shanestephens4728 it was good but not on edges level. beckys return sucked.

[@djmac13]

Happy New Year lads! Hope you feel better soon Jack.

[@markrothery5720]

Aj styles debut In royal rumble is my favourite royal rumble entrant he was the wrestler that got me back into wrestling in his tna stint, i had no idea he had signed loved it.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Absolutely love this podcast every single week.

[@optimus2008]

Get well soon Jack. As for Rumble surprises, Edge's was great, but there was a certain atmosphere present in Madison Square Garden when Cena returned which just makes me put it as my all-time favourite Royal Rumble return and perhaps even favourite RR moment of all time. You saw the Nokia phone one guy was holding with his hand stretched out. Pretty nostalgic and reminiscent of those times. And I had turned 2 years old in November 2007 mind you.

[@dylandavies3965]

Being from the Wirral, I can say that Jacks Birkenhead accent was spot on😂

[@DoubleK98]

Have a speedy recovery Jack ✌🏻

[@midnightdarkness8730]

Get Well Soon Jack

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

Mr. Perfect in the 2002 Royal Rumble is the best to me because He's a true legend and I grew up watching Mr Perfect in WWF with my late wonderful dad I'm 36 years old and miss WWF

[@jmbellizi]

Get well soon, Jack

[@wickideazy]

Vince is apparently a fan of NCIS. "Never apologize. It's a sign of weakness" is Gibbs Rule #6.

[@JagerLange]

Maffew cautioning people about the Fenix injury and then Ross just showing it on his phone was funny as fuck.

[@gregorymcnally7155]

Regarding Brothers Grimm, Ross is probably thinking of the 2005 action film where Heath Ledger and Matt Damon portray the brothers who fight monsters before retiring to go write their fairytales

[@xBakon182x]

As soon as Hogan touches the giant’s tin can, “The can! It’s not perishable!!!”

[@Lycan_Jedi]

Edge and it isn't even close. 2nd would be Cena in 08.

[@mortezarostami7587]

its the best return ever

[@crackedspyglass]

1:53:52 Can't wait to see THIS on botchamania

[@emlynbarnden1229]

Jack nominating cats for the hall of fame. He's playing to win in 2022

[@big_tea1983]

Jack just waiting to drop the bomb 😬 sending all the good vibes and hopes for a speedy recovery ✌🏾

[@tracew18]

I would love if Maffew included his own botch in the next botchamania. Being totally convinced that Ruby Soho was still called Ruby Riott. As always, really enjoyed this podcast

[@kb7455]

I’m from up the road from Tranmere and I had no idea they had bought Progress. The idea of Mike Dean being a referee in a wrestling match is quality though

[@gspvideo5543]

I've just noticed Maffew's headphones 😂 one of the highlights of the week this show ❤

[@Nbflowers1989]

I actually really like the random black outs in AEW. If they do that a few more times, and then do it once and BAM debut of King, that would be cool.

[@notstanley9204]

Rest up Jack. Imo the best surprise entrant has to be AJ Styles.

[@lucassio1]

Sat here watching the podcast and heard “woof woof moo moo” and earlier this week at college I embarrassed myself by thinking me and my mates came up with it and only just realised it’s One of maffews famous quotes

[@lincolnmoseley]

Omg 🤣🤣 I was going to comment and ask if Matthew was Matthew Gregg from #BotchaMania, but after a quick Google search, I found out that it is lol... Cool little realization 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@nadirjurgenklopp3352]

Awesome funny Long podcast cultaholic Maffew Jack the Jobber Ross

[@phoniexman]

Keep your chin up Jack, you got this.

[@martijnsmolders291]

Get well soon Jack!

[@nathanthewrestlingguy]

Cool podcast Speedy recovery jack hope ya get better soon

[@VYLEMUSIC]

Guys, Punk wasn't referring to a two night mania, he was referring to the fact that WWE has been doing buy one get one free seats to fill up arenas since they can't sell tickets for shit lol.

[@butwhyalyssa]

Get well soon Jack! Hope Owen is doing okay and covid-free 🥰

[@markengland7874]

Great podcast

[@ChrisJohnson-ql1xn]

Nice to hear a purple aki reference in 2022

[@TheMandown25]

Jack get well homie! Glad to see all the DIDDLERS AGAIN!

[@shanestephens4728]

Prepare your diddlehole 🤌🏻

[@warensemblem8594]

1:53:50 my reaction when I realized how much of a fool I was when I thought Kid Rock came up with that riff before Metallica

[@Disciple_of_Cthulhu]

Feel better soon, Jack the Jobber.

[@jasonjimerson7046]

Sorry to hear that the Vid got you, Jack. Please, get well soon!

[@lazypaladin]

Get well soon Jack, thankfully haven't caught it yet and I work retail. I'll avoid omni in your name! Mentioned this on WT, but imagine HHH, Regal and Joe teaming together to create a new promotion.

[@RealBrizz]

Tortillas are definitely in the bread family maffew

[@JazzyBongo]

Purple Aki is surely in the Young Bucks

[@endofdaze7729]

Get better soon Jack I'm praying for you

Gerwyn Price is the LA Knight of Darts

[@bastienclo2388]

Get better Jack you are the best 💪

[@209clayton]

selfishly if progress start doing regular shows in the Wirral - hell yes

[@WorldWiideWebber]

Hey Jack, hope ya get well soon.

[@marybonner7432]

Get well soon Jack.

[@metalheadjake3339]

Edge 2020 return is the best

[@bigstan5705]

Was not expecting a purple aki reference

[@philllawrence1580]

Gerwyn Price was an ex Rugby player for Neath and Cross Keys winning a National Cup and Play Off Final (explaining the muscles) and has risen from a normal club darter in 2014 to World Champion last year and still World No 1 as we speak!! Not many two sport champions 😉

[@deadbydefiance9341]

So, maybe it's different in the UK, but the media has accurately represented about 85% of American wrestling crowds. Almost none of them come across as well adjusted, good smelling people.

[@Jhakri_]

The 2008 Cena rumble return was pretty hype. The AJ one would have been good kf the cameras didn't miss it

[@harryclifford168]

The cameras didn’t miss it live. They edited it to get the confused Roman narrative that nobody cares about

[@GoldenKnightsFan_84]

Ben De Kok is Raymond Van Barneveld's manager

[@aidanjackson4434]

Idk if anyone has mentioned it but jack looks a lot like jaskier from the witcher show

[@davefogle7747]

Get better Jack, sorry for you Mate

[@rollingcourage6658]

Get well Jack

[@ruthannewhitney]

Get well Jack!

[@undriftedpop788]

My mom just tested positive for covid and we have a house of 15 people so yeah not good... hope you get well jack

[@Lastrit_JME]

I don't know why you guys are under the impression Jeff doesn't smoke weed, but he very much does. Multiple of his Wellness Policy Violations were due to smoking weed, it's pretty well known that him and Orton smoke together quite often.

[@nathanthewrestlingguy]

Best rumble surprise ? Hmmm For me it's either John Cena in 2008 or edge in 2020 both awesome moments in different ways.

[@EvaWaffel]

woof woof move move has to become a regular thing

[@krjsln]

Get well soon..Jack

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

I never got Covid and I live in Saratoga New York Upstate (USA) a hotspot

[@themachodan13]

Am I the only one that thought Jack’s Hall of Fame nomination was a bit of a heel turn? Makes it seems like he’s gonna nominate James and his gal for doing the fostering but then he turns heel and nominates the cats!

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

I don't think even Roman Reigns himself can beat BECKY 🐐

For the white bread. You missed the obvious. Hulk Hogan because he’s all about the “White flour”.

[@jeredjohnston3400]

The Best Bout Machine MandyyyyyOoooooooMaaaaandaaaaaaaa

[@britneyspearsvillarosa]

AEW is just WCW with a fresh coat of paint I mean come on. it is on TNT here in the USA. TNT was the home of WCW Monday Night Nitro and so was TBS with Thunder

[@jamesrichards802]

An advertisement every 5 minutes absolutely destroyed this for me

[@YongFate]

Right there with ya Jack 🙄

[@seanwallace79]

Jack.....noooooooooooo. 😱😱😱😱😱

[@derekwilliams1169]

After everything the lads have talked about on this podcast. Today was the first day/first episode (with that weird bread question) I thought…… what the hell Am I listening to!?!? 🤦🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🙄

[@rossanderson1892]

Has Asuka been released? Can we get her return at next wwe PLE and a program with them.

[@gd.producoes]

🔥🔥

[@roryalexanderm]

cracking up at maffews pronunciation of migos

[@MetalMilitia83]

I think they are getting rid of a lot of named guys because they get paid more than hiring new people. That’s why a guy like regal is gone. I’m sure his contract is a lot higher than a new athletic trainer.

[@RoringRiver]

The podcast has been the highlight of my week for a long time but now I look forward to the lads discussing "Come Toosday" every week even more! By far the worst promo skills I have ever seen in 22 years of watching wrestling!

[@leonardopereira1704]

Wait, when did Come Tuesday become Big the Cat???

[@mattcholibre]

I like this video

[@crackedspyglass]

1:38:52 I think you may be right

[@joemacgillis8229]

What is that background noise? Is someone running their bike? Edit: 16min in now. Roadwork outside of Jack's.

[@lazypaladin]

Sidenote: Football Club buys Wrestling Promotion... At least all that acting into pretending your hurt will be put to use. 👌 That was mean, I'm sorry, football ain't that bad.

Johnny Knox will eliminate a returning Elias

[@FaceManBuddha]

CV Quarantine?? Jeez..

[@ratonul260]

Knoxville will eliminate Austin Theory

When do they talk about the rumble?
