Talk is Jericho Recap w/ Bo Dallas – Conspiracy Theories, JFK Assassination, Reptilian People, More!

July 29, 2017

<p>Jericho welcomes <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/bo-dallas" title="Bo Dallas">Bo Dallas</a></strong> to the show.</p><p>Dallas informs that this is his first podcast appearance and the first time fans will hear him talk out of character, so he’s a little concerned with how people with react to how <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/crazy/" title="crazy">crazy</a></strong> he is. Jericho says he and Dallas bonded on a bus ride during a recent European tour, and he realized that they had a lot of things in common. Dallas says those long <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/trips/" title="trips">trips</a></strong> to Europe are often when people bond with each other.</p><p></p><p>Dallas says the blind refusal of facts is what really bothers him about various conspiracy theories. The minute you talk about any conspiracy theories, people automatically think you’re crazy and ignore everything you say. People are led by mainstream beliefs and anything outside of that norm is simply wrong, despite how many facts there are to support these theories.</p><p>He says that one big conspiracy that he believes in is the ‘Hollow Earth’ theory. This theory states that the Earth is hollow and there is a race of people living there. He says that while scientists claim the centre of the Earth is all molten lava, we’ve never dug to a depth that can prove this.</p>

NXT Tag Team Championship Match Announced

June 29, 2017

<p>WWE has announced that Heavy Machinery will receive a shot at The Authors of Pain for the NXT Championships on the July 12th episode of NXT. Here is the preview they posted for the match:</p><p><em><strong>NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain to defend against Heavy Machinery on July 12</strong></em></p><p><em>The Authors of Pain have built their NXT Tag Team Title Championship upon a foundation of brute force and physical dominance. However, against Heavy Machinery — AOP’s newly confirmed challengers for the July 12 episode of NXT — Ellering’s menacing monsters, for once, find themselves against opponents who can more than match their immensity.</em></p><p><em>For Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic, the battle cry of “steaks and weights” isn’t just playful banter; it’s a way of life. The numbers tell the <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/story/" title="story">story</a></strong>: 320-pound Knight boasts a 365-pound bench press and 500-pound squats and deadlifts, while 330-pound Dozovic lays claim to a 475-pound bench press, a 610-pound squat and a 710-pound deadlift. Beneath the muscle and outsized personalities are two elite grapplers who torched collegiate competition before turning to NXT, where their success has been just as great.</em></p><p><em>Not that any of those <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/tag/facts/" title="facts">facts</a></strong> will intimidate The Authors of Pain. <strong><a href="http://www.ringsidenews.com/wrestler/akam" title="Akam">Akam</a></strong> & Rezar are 300-pounders, and they have MMA and world-class wrestling backgrounds, too. Their WWE Hall of Fame manager appears to have his misgivings about the burly challengers, even if he won’t admit it, but AOP only has one thing in mind: Adding Knight & Dozovic to The Book of Dominance.</em></p><p><em>Which super-heavyweight tandem will prevail? Don’t miss this huge NXT Tag Team Championship battle when it takes center stage Wednesday, July 12, on NXT, streaming exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network at 8/7 C.</em></p>
