Maffew, Ross and Jack are all treasures - pass it on ❤️
IDST
Mandatory "Jack needs to go to the retaraunt" comment
3 minutes in and he acknowledged it...
If he doesnt do it this week, we riot?
A nearly 4hr podcast and got my cultaholic merch today.... get in!
As a Minnesotan I am honored we are talked about in the podcast as much as we were
Skol bby
Hey me too! That accent was bad though lol
To anyone who makes those "best of" videos at the end of the year that Nelson Mandela conversation needs to be in there!
Ross' impression of Uncle Howdy at 2:09:20 was brilliant. couldn't stop laughing at the hat tip
I watched it back a few times, it was so good!
Absolutely love your podcast. Cultaholic got me back into wrestling and I haven't watched it since 2005
Almost four hours, woo!
PS: got an email yesterday that my [PUDDING ENJOYMENT NOISES] shirt has shipped!
Nice tie, Maffew
With that outfit and that haircut, Maffew is giving me flashbacks to being in the 3rd grade in Catholic school.
Gives me high school anime vibes as well!
I’m from Gillingham. Maffew saying it wrong, and not as ‘Jillingham’ was incredibly frustrating 😂😂😂
I'm not from Gillingham. It also bugged me more than it should. Paris St Jermaine was another one lol
LOVE Tubman in Japan, so wholesome
Only just started. Can’t wait to hear why Maffew is dressed like a good little Mormon boy
2:09:22 actually crying of laughter
If Jack added Frasier to all his memories, he would never forget anything
Maffew, Ross & Jack are all treasures, Purple Monkey Dishwasher - pass it on.
I love that 1 moment where they went from omg buzzards to ehhhhhh follow the buzzards
Cody was talking about Damien Priest with that botching the finisher comment, he was still using the Reckoning on NXT at the time
The fargo series is sick, also chris masters?
Ooh close to 4 hours. Nice and girthy, just like we like
Im loving the start of the podcast becoming Maffew saying some random shit out of context
Cody was talking about Damien Priest botching his finisher in NXT when he was still using The Reckoning.
Just checked in after not watching the podcast for like a year. Ross's beard looks good, he should keep that.
A lot of people seem to have missed that, Nick Khan only ever said the story about it being a done deal was made up. He never claimed there weren't talks or that there couldn't be a potential deal to be made.
When the news of WWE Network dropping the Indy Shows hit I just saw that already poorly aged "British Wrestling is safe" tweet from Pete Dunn flash in my head over and over.
Wrestling.....has more than ONE university....
I wanna see the video Jack was talking about at 23:08 of the guy doing the spear through the middle rope from the floor.
Search RUclips for ‘Justin Sysum spear on Rampage Brown’. It’s uploaded by ‘Johnny Smith’ 😊
At this point, the long term storytelling of Bray Wyatts return is rivalling that of the whole Jesus Christ saga.
2:09:20 It’s like he’s sat at the table.
Seriously. I got scared and distracted there.
Who WILL win? Rock or Cody. Who SHOULD win? Sami Zayn
Exactly
In one segment we are talking about how Jay Briscoe deserved forgiveness and good on him for apologizing for his words, and I completely agree with that sentiment. Then later Jack just makes a comparison to someone working like Hulk Hogan and immediately the reaction is to reference unsavory things he said, yet he has also apologized and deserves a path to redemption. Love you guys but I think we need to be consistent with things like this or gestures of forgiveness or allowing for mistakes lose their meaning. Something to think about I believe. Again with love, guys.
Hoping for Cody Rhodes to win the Rumble tbh, I've been on the Rhodes train for a while and I'm not going to ditch it for the very Ucey Zayn train. Jack could win the Cultaholic personality of the year if he just took his laptop to the Italian restaurant!
Can't decide is Maff is about to talk to Ross and Jack about their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, or shout at one of them to restock the soda sculpture and send the other one out to round up the carts from the parking lot.
3:37:10 I'm gonna miss these promos so much. They have the funniest chemistry. Reach for the sky, boy.
Watching this podcast is like staring at a "Mirrorball" cheers Jack
My favourite bit was when Braun Strowman hit Brock Lesnar with a stiffy to the head
OK hear me out on this...Sami wins the rumble but he actually doesn't eliminate anybody during the rumble and the last two guys take each other over the top rope. After Sami's win Roman comes out and Sami starts telling Roman that he didn't want this and didn't even really take part and tells him how he didn't eliminate anybody. Roman goes on and tells Sami that this must have been his plan all along and that he'll get his wish and they're on for Wrestlemania.
Hopefully it will be a good rumble
There it is!!!!
I feel like announcing Cody for the Rumble rather than a surprise lessens his odds of winning, and given how popular Sami has gotten he could be the one to face Reigns at WM. If Cody suddenly takes most of the spotlight away from Sami's popularity the crowd could turn on him which is something they could do once the belts are off Roman.
Maybe the story could be Sami being manipulated to go for the NXT title and bring more gold to the Bloodline rather than challenge Roman who gets progressively more paranoid and jealous of Sami leading up to WM until the inevitable betrayal.
If anything, Gunther should beat Lesnar at Wrestlemania, not lose to him...
Thought Maffew was a Mormon missionary for a moment.
Took me a minute to find that old *NAME REDACTED* video Ross references at 33:40. It was WELL worth it. 🤣
Please tell me too...
Beef shin music
This podcast made me go and watch the Stevie Turner segment from NXT. I regret my decision.
Creeped me out when Ross said he watched the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween as I watched that for the first time last night. Funny to hear Jack say he's watched films like Fargo and says how good it is, like yeah no shit, glad you're catching up.
The TV series is great too.
Stone Cold in the rumble, that's my shout. Back in shape, rock not coming? Step in Stone Cold
Might be wrong, but is shin not the noodles and soup?
r.i.p Jay briscole
I’m down for Ricochet to beat GUNTHER
ME! I will be winning the Rumble this year baby! Watch out Roman I'm coming to get you!
I'm using the boys sitting at a table for my figure drawing assignment and while I was studying Maffew, I realized he had a Kira tie on. Fuckin' aces, mate.
Tom Cruise vs Hulk Hogan for the Scientology Heavyweight Title confirmed!
I actually think trying out moves would be a great video series lol
This episode quiet more than usual for anyone else?
As a minnesOOOOtan, the easiest phrase to say in the accent is "oh ya, ya betcha"
Still no restaurant.
Hangman was talking about Renee's friend saraya as he takes exception to her as an AEW original. And Rhea will be eliminated from women's rumble and so will appear in the men's rumble afterwards for another shot. My prediction
Maffew's Sheer Heart Attack has no weaknesses
the volume is to low
Have some bull shin? Nope but I will have some bull nakamura 😅 I will see myself out
Hey, since you guys are shouting out video ideas, how about doing a wrestlers of the month video since you have already missed a couple of weeks this month already.
The podcast is absolutely brilliant and I love all involved. But I can’t help notice that maffew looks like Mr.Crocker with that outfit
Woop!
Jack with the god awful welsh accent, cheeky bastard
And all is right with the world again 🎉
ROSS, GIVE JACK YOUR LAPTOP AND GET HIM OUT OF HERE!
At the 2023 Royal Rumble Match, Cody Rhodes & Sami Zayn feet will have touched the floor at the same time. Multiple referees will chose between the 2 being the winners. Triple H will come down to the ring and listen, the screen fade to black.
The next right on RAW, Triple H will open the show and bring both men out. He will tell them him and the board of directors have reach a discussion. That on Night 1 Cody Rhodes will challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship, while Sami Zayn will challenge for the Universal Championship on Night 2.
Roman Reigns and the bloodline will come out and Heyman will try to convince Hunter this is not good. Triple H will ignore his plead and Roman will then speak and say how Triple H is jealous because this single title reign is greater than all of his title reigns combine. Triple H brush the comment off and tells him it's happen no matter what.
For months we see Roman telling Zayn that he is not mad he won but glad. He tells him that if they can take out Cody Rhodes than their match at Wrestlemania will be a classic. The Bloodline tries and fails to take out Cody. This prompts a match at Elimination Chamber between Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn. Cody tell Zayn that Roman is using him and he wants the heart and soul of NXT Sami Zayn. Leading to the match each member of the Bloodline tells Zayn he must take Cody out before Mania. While Johnny Gargano, Drew McIntyre, Nakamura, Styles and KO remind him this is a ultimate opportunity to win the world title at Mania
The match at Elimination Chamber we see Sami take Cody to the limit. Cody (being undefeated since coming back) has Sami on the ropes. He gets hit and him and the ref gets taken out. The Bloodline head to the ring and Sami wave them out. Roman toss the title in the ring and tells Sami to hit Cody with it. He looks at the title, then Cody, then the Bloodline. The locker room comes out and a brawl happens outside the ring. Sami looks at the title again and toss it. Rhodes hits him with a Cross Rhodes and wins. Him and Sami shakes hands.
The following SmackDown! The Bloodline open the show and Roman says he's proud of Sami for wanting to win the match on his own. The mood switch when Roman tells Sami that he didn't follow orders and in turn disobey his Tribal Cheif. The Bloodline attack Sami until he gets help. Cody Rhodes leading the charge and Sami Zayn being the old Sami Zayn. Roman attacks Adam Pierce in the process and as a result he bans The Bloodline from ringside.
At Wrestlemania Night 1 we see Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Title. Cody defeats Roman in a 20ish minute bout. On Night 2 Roman upset with the lost tells Paul Hayman that he was useless last night and don't want him in his corner. We also see Cody Rhodes with the WWE Championship talk and motivate Sami Zayn before his match. Telling him about the stories he heard while he was in the independent scene. (Similar to Eddie Guerrero and Chris Beniot segment at Wrestlemania XX) Roman and Zayn match begins and Roman begins questioning himself. Zayn digs deep and eventually defeats Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship.
If there is any year to do a 94 situation again, this year is perfect for that.
Why does Matthew look like he's going to ask me if I have accepted Jesus in to my life yet
Or as a mcdonalds manager in the 70s
"Jack and Joel On Film" better be the next Cultaholic sister channel.
I like this video
The blobby costume auction is now under 30k!!!

I beg of you, Maffew (that rhymed lol) never speak about football again. Your pronunciation of Gillingham, Liberia and Paris St Germain (amongst the others) hurt my brain 😂 You're still a legend though (just not as much of one as Ali Dia, he's George Weah's cousin you know)
Sucks and so messed up how Jay passed dem boys rip Jay so messed up and I hope your daughters will be ok they have a long way to.go but I hope they come out ok rip jay
Oh god, KO gives Sami a big assist to win the Rumble, and there’s only one world champion. I don’t know if I want this or not.
2:01:28
Bonus shoutout! Yes!
Edit after the producers bit: I'm not fussed on any changes for my own benefit, you guys are awesome
Nah Ross I think Gunther drops in the Chamber and then Brock v Gunther at WM, with, crucially, Gunther winning
Surely it'll be Cody to start the Rhodes to wrestlemania
"Protein Thief"
A mailbag question from the greatest Mexican player of all time was not on my list of things happening on the podcast this year.
56:09-56:14 I love you Ross
Us Irish also call coke and shit juice
Frankly how DARE Jack have the chutzpah to talk about ‘restaurant week’ on the podcast when he knows that he has yet to take his laptop to an Italian restaurant. Fraser-level arrogance.
I would love Gabbi Tuft, the former Tyler Reks, to enter the womens Royal Rumble.
Highly doubt she even wants to do anything wrestling related, and also, i doubt she's good in the ring after so many years retired
@Luis Valdes that's never stopped alundra, nia, tamina... I could go on 🤣🤣
I didn't know she even transitioned. First time I heard the former Tyler Reks is trans. Like the other guy, said she's retired. Also if she did enter the Women's Royal Rumble, would the crowd know who she is? Would cause quite a lot of confusion. You also don't know what crowd reaction she'd get
I hope Fraser does the laptop in an Italian restaurant bit before Jack does, just to piss him off.
So youthful, so arrogant.
The reason Tony Hawk is walking with a cane is because he recently broke his femur. Full compound fracture through his skin.
Jay said nothing wrong he was protechis kids so yea it's was bs that that shit came up.form a long time ago
hot take dynamite has been great since november and raw has sucked since clash. caught me off guard when ross said dynamite was back. theyve been back

Nah!Cody is not winning.Him vs seth is gonna happen at wm.
i dont have to watch this 3 hour, 53 minute and 25 second video to find the answer. Its Cody Rhodes.
2nd
How do they keep acknowledging Tubman in Japan and ignoring the many people either dont care about the segment, or it seems, even more people want the obnoxious intro/outro fixed at least...?
At this point the ignorance of the issue is more aggravating than the stupid intro itself....
Diddler for H.O.F!
I hope you all will not like the pitch black match you don’t jump on the bandwagon if its awesome you fickle fake IWC marks Alexa and bray are too good and their stories are to smart for you all
Bro learn punctuation
And try harder with the trolling....
@@IowaContact trolling or telling the truth about the state of the wrestling world it’s on life support with bray , Alexa , kross , black , Isla , mjf and Roman only things keeping it alive everything else just redundant and pointless banger , tournaments that go no where sorry you can’t take it but when Alexa , bray and co leave watch it die the death it deserves
