Triplemania Fallout, Undertaker’s New Role & Shocking WWE Behind-the-Scenes Drama | Coach and Bro August 18th
Full Podcast Summary / Notes (Timestamps):
00:00 – 02:21 | Coach and Vince Russo Kick Off from Hollywood, FL
Coach welcomes everyone to the show and jokes about his hectic travel schedule and dodgy hotel Wi-Fi, then introduces “the bro,” Vince Russo. Vince enters wearing a controversial shirt to rile up critics, setting a fun, fiery tone.
02:21 – 07:03 | Triple H’s Viral 'Dad Bod' Vacation Photos Go Viral
Vince shares the story of Triple H and Stephanie McMahon’s vacation photos making waves. The pair humorously debate if it’s fair to tease Triple H more for his 20-year-old bathing suit than his dad bod, diving into the pressures (or lack thereof) of being worth $100+ million.
07:03 – 10:43 | Unpacking Wrestlers’ Stage Fright & Modern Era Nerves
After Vince’s lighthearted Twitter antics, the conversation shifts to the “Unreal” series portrayal of wrestlers’ backstage nerves. Coach recounts his own nerves attacking Shane McMahon at SummerSlam 2003 and reflects on how today’s talent is more fearful about botching lines and losing their spot.
10:43 – 13:38 | Live Interaction & Merch Updates
Coach and Vince explain how fans can get involved with the show, tease new merch drops, and joke about the perils of being a traveling podcast host.
13:38 – 22:27 | Undertaker’s Reinvention: From The Deadman to Mentor
In-depth talk about Undertaker’s transition to a mentor/coach role, being involved with Triple H and Shawn Michaels behind the scenes. Vince speculates if Taker is now Vince McMahon’s “eyes and ears” and what his loyalty means for TKO politics.
22:27 – 30:52 | Behind the Curtain: WWE’s Unreal & Netflix Deal Backstory
Coach reveals production secrets of WWE’s "Unreal" series—like outside NFL crews shooting it and how TKO is reshaping content for Netflix. Together, they debate if “Unreal” will attract new fans, why breaking kayfabe could hurt legacy fans, and what real wrestling docuseries should look like.
30:52 – 42:23 | Fan Q&A: Brock Lesnar’s Absence, WWE Marketing Misses, and The Value of Clean Finishes
Coach and Vince answer live super stickers about why Brock Lesnar and Cena disappear after big shows, misleading promotions, and the difference in creative mindsets between Triple H and Vince McMahon. Heated takes on “talent-friendly” policies and the struggle to keep stars on TV.
42:23 – 55:40 | Bret Hart Snubbed: WWE’s Pettiness Exposed?
A bombshell segment as Coach plays a clip of Bret Hart recounting being flown to SummerSlam but denied a seat. Vince explains it as a classic “receipt,” tying it to backstage politics and disrespect—and why Bret’s underappreciated compared to fellow legends.
55:40 – 1:09:45 | More Fan Q&A: Liv Morgan, Karrion Kross, and Who Should Be WWE’s Next Big Star?
They discuss Liv Morgan and Bianca Belair’s absence, AEW’s opportunity with Karrion Kross, and how WWE is dropping the ball on building organic, new stars. Insights into how WWE’s executive moves impact the roster, followed by debates on Shane McMahon’s potential, talents like Otis, and Solo Sikoa’s evolution as a promo.
1:09:45 – 1:22:41 | Wrestling’s Dark Side: STIs, Mandy Rose, and The Locker Room Scene
Mandy Rose’s account of a herpes outbreak in NXT sparks debate about safety and dating behind the scenes. Amanda's booming OnlyFans career gets a mention, and the team debunks some urban legends about wrestling hygiene.
1:22:41 – 1:25:59 | Raw Talent Development: Lyra Valkyria and Changing WWE Styles
Tough critique on WWE’s current developmental approach—highlighting talent signings via social following over wrestling skills, and why some aren’t making it.
1:25:59 – End | Closing Q&A: Maver, Church Skits & Podcast Announcements
More quickfire Q&A: Mick Foley’s role, Maven’s new podcast, and hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about infamous WWE skits. Coach teases future live podcasts and reflects on audience engagement, with closing thanks and schedules for upcoming shows.
