And you realize that person isn't being authentic.

They are being inauthentic.

And at a point, sometimes you got to tell your coworker that you're full of crap.

And so Cody Rose just got to a boiling point and he told Sammy, you know what?

You'll never be World Heavyweight Champion.

Strong.

Knowing wrestling breadcrumbs as I do, when you say someone won't do something, that means it will happen.

And I just don't know the timeline.

When you said, when the heavyweight champion says, you know, you're never going to be world champion.

Well, I heard that about Daniel Bryan too.

I heard that about a number of wrestlers, and I think that that plants a seed.

And again, I don't know on the calendar where that happens, but I think the conventional wisdom, Justin, is, well, Sammy missed his window in Montreal.

when he had the whole building at the Bell Center behind him.

He should have won the championship then, and it didn't happen.

And so now the door is closed on Sami Zayn.

Anytime you say a wrestler won't do something or can't do something, all of a sudden, in the bottom of the ninth, here comes someone with a base hit to score the run and the game winner.

I'm not saying it's happening now.

I'm saying that there's a possibility at some point that Sami Zayn is going to be world champion.
