What are the details of Matt Cardona's WWE return?
Christmas!
Oh, greetings and salutations, my friend. Welcome back to another one here on Insight. I'm CVV, Chris Van Vliet. Thank you for hanging out with me on a Friday. Thank you for being a real one. Thank you for helping to make Insight the number one wrestling podcast on the planet. And also, at last check, one of the top sports podcasts on the planet. I guess having Stone Cold Steve Austin on the show... We'll help do that. We'll help you skyrocket up the charts. Hit a stone cold stunner on that follow button on Spotify or Apple or wherever you're listening right now. So you don't miss out on a single episode. And if it is Spotify where you're listening, could you leave a rating on there? It takes less than five seconds.
It helps the show so much. And I know you're saying like, how do I do that? Where do I even find that? If you're on the show's main page, click the three little dots there, dot, dot, dot. Then you'll see rate show. Click on that and then the stars will pop up from there. So I appreciate you. Thank you. I'm recording this from home right now. But in the next few days, I'm going to be flying to London. I will see you next week. I'm going to SmackDown in London. So if you live in the UK, if you're going to SmackDown, if you're going to be around the city, I would love to chat a little wrestling with you. I can't wait. This is my, yeah, this is my first wrestling show. In the UK. And I feel like if there are other indie shows going on, I leave here Wednesday, you know, with the time change.
And like, it's a 12-hour flight from the West Coast, from Los Angeles into London Heathrow. So with the time change, with the long flight, I leave Wednesday evening, arrive midday Thursday, hopefully doing an interview or two Thursday. Maybe it's Friday morning. But if there's indie shows happening Thursday night or Friday, on Friday during the day, because then I leave on Saturday. This is a quick turnaround to fly to the other side of the planet. But man, I can't wait. I can't wait to be there.
Will Chris Jericho surprise us at the Royal Rumble?
I would love to just get in as much as I can while I'm there. I haven't been to London in a little over a year. I feel like I go once-ish, twice-ish a year, like something to do with work, whether it's a movie premiere or it's a celebrity interview or whatever. I feel like I'm there once or twice-ish, sometimes a little bit more, but I can't believe I've never seen wrestling there. So that all changes constantly. on Friday, and I'm pumped about it. I can't wait. I'm going to be going with my good friend Alex Hunt, who also helps out with some of the great research for these interviews. He also helps out with transcribing the interviews. So if you ever go to chrisfanfleet.com, And you see the transcriptions of the interviews, just know that that is Alex's great work there.
So can't wait to see you guys there. Then I think the next big wrestling show I'm going to, oh, I think, no, the week after, I think I'll see you in Albuquerque, New Mexico, TNA Wrestling. Can't wait. And then, of course, we've got Chicago Elimination Chamber, and the day before that is the next Insight Live. So... If you live around any of those places, I hope to see you there. I especially hope to see you at Insight Live. CVVtix.com to grab tickets for that show in Chicago, February 27th, or the show the Thursday of WrestleMania week in Las Vegas. I can't wait. The Chicago one is almost sold out. I know. That's crazy. The show is six weeks away, seven weeks away, and it's almost sold out. So if you've been thinking about going, if you've been in the group chat with your friends talking about maybe going...
You should probably buy those tickets while you still can. It's mind-blowing to me. I can't believe it. But I appreciate you guys so, so much. Hope that your year has been off to a good start. We're now nine days in to 2026. I hope that these nine days have been good to you. And if they haven't, if it's not going so great right now, just keep in mind there's still another 356 days to turn things around. Think about that.
