Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to your first episode of the Gimmick.
You know that gives me us We're not gonna drop them all the time,
but I had to for the very first one. I am I'm going
new nickname the Canadian Nightmare. I name I want to have the Gauntlet forever.
And then we never got around to it. But I'm joining my two
other people. So this is a show. I'll give you the quick two
second pitch and I'll tell you who I'm joined by. So this was a
show that I talked to you about long time ago, want to do it,
and that time I had switch jobs and also Geek first going through some
changed the dinner of time. And then you know someone else that might be
on the show right now, s Bobs. He had pitched his draft idea
and I've always wanted to do a draft thought. Okay, people, especially
on our survey set, you know some people want wrestling shows. Say,
okay, what we're gonna do here is I'm gonna do the Gimmick, which
I used to talk about and Trass told you, but I've taken all the
wrestling soft off and it's gonna be here. We're gonna, as right now,
meet every month with myself and these two other gentlemen in a second,
and we're gonna talk about This is gonna be a nice introduction. We got
some big topics like wrestlin We're gonna do a fantasy draft, talk about how
we've gone wrestling. But overall, in the future, we'll kind of just
hit on some of the biggest points that happened in the month and reviews.
We'll probably try and time them after like a bigger pay per view and stuff,
so we will announce them. I think we have a narrow down to
date, but I'd like the next one to be the sometime after the raw
after Manie, like you got Mania Saturday Sunday thing or the raw after somewhere
within that week. I think we'll try and narrow down something. But we'll
once we've got data and events, we'll tell you. But yeah, we're
gonna talk about primarily mostly WWE and some aw There might be the occasional time
day myself might bring up another company or something someone brings up there if we
got to talk about, you know, Tony Kahn not talking to Jack Perry
or something like that. In the future, who knows. But speaking of
I will introduce the first guest here, the first other co host, David.
How are you doing, sir? It's great to have you and great
to finally do this because we've bat this around a couple of ideas and this
is just the start of it. So how are you doing, sir,
Matt? I'm doing good. Yeah, this is over a year in the
making, so we've been talking about this for so long on glad to see
I finally come into fruition and excited for the next uh year in wrestling and
everything that's coming down the pipeline, the stuff that we have to talk about
now, plus the things that are on the horizon. So it's gonna be
a very very interesting time. Oh absolutely, Then s Bubbs, do the
Matt Stoked fire because you want to do a draft like I've always had in
the back pockets. So we're going in the show off there. That's gonna
be a good thing. That's gonna be a whole year going. But uh
yes, sir you we'll get into it in a second. But newly acquired
in the resting world. But how are you doing today? Good? Yeah,
I'm really excited for this. I think it's a it's a great point
like now to do this like draft for like a full year ahead, like
I fail, because there's definitely gonna be a lot of changes like in the
following year. Oh yeah, absolutely so yeah. What we're gonna do here
for geek first, everything you need to know is down below all your links,
your auto everything for geek cult plants, everything's down there. Just click
a link. The best things go our website and you got a sprawling links
of every everything. But what we're gonna do here, and I'm gonna start
with that Spubs because I mentioned here Before we get into we're gonna talk about
what our gimmicks are and s Bubs what is? How did you like,
I know a little bit of it, but how did you get into wrestling?
Because you haven't been watching your whole life? What did you know of
it beforehand? And what has been your experience so far? Being how long
you've been watching? What's been like happier now a little? I think it
was like the first the first like PLI I watched was like fast Lane,
So I think maybe like one or two weeks before that was like when I
started. I think that was like start of October because I know, like
that was like when like everyone was like on NXT, so I was like,
oh, I should watch on XT too, because it's like every week
the main event was like someone from like them. It was like a dominic
mysteria main event or like the the October tenth like John stacked the show piss
and everything like that. So it was around that time. Yeah, But
I think there before like watching anything, I didn't really know much about it
outside of just like clips that people would post or like around yeah, like
big events i'd maybe see like if like the Twitter timeline was like like I
remember seeing people posting like the logan Paul splashing Ksie through the table, like
I remember people posting that, or like the like bad Bunny like backlash like
entrance, like I saw people post that. Yeah, So I wouldn't really
like look into it. But I think the thing was I think I said
it at some point before, but like the rock On SmackDown, like thee
with Austin theory, that was the one that like sort of got because I
was like, I don't know, I just saw like the crowd reaction and
I just thought like it was just really cool, Like I just want to
start watching after that point, yeah, and then related to the rock out,
how it goes now? Well, yeah, I know, yeah,
where the rock is now? Because that's almost like a touching point for you
because its funny because I'd seen you just started a tweet about NXST and then
you were watching some x T and then Notity and then SmackDown and then now
you've dabbled in aw so you can see how quickly it can you like wrestling
and you like the world of it, how quickly you can just steamroll into
picking up other things and now you're watching probably at least ten hours of wrestling
content every week around then, and then your timeline is full of memes and
stories and rumors. So it's like it's the best, especially because you're a
big movie fan too. It's the best version of for me being a movie
fan, but also if you're not, because I'm not a big sports guy,
Like I watch football and that's about it, but it has that sports
aspect of yeah, rumor free agency and you know, controversies and stuff,
and watching the shows. It's like it can be like every genre at once,
Like like I was just now watching the I clip match and like that
hit and picture and picture where Christian goes hide and like the women's bathroom.
Oh, they're just like like screaming running away and he just gets like it
was like a cartoon like the way he just gets like thrown from offscreen by
he just like flies into a lot. I was like, let's start.
We threw him on like the upside down ladder and he's got like stuck between
Yeah, just like completely stiff, just falls to the side. I was
just laughing at that. But it's just yeah, yeah, And like I
said, Laon will talk to you about Adam because it's just like a few
weeks ago start doing that. So we'll get there. But David, what
is how did you become a wrestling fan in your life? Where was the
starting point? I have been a lifelong wrestling fan, and it came from
my grandfather, so that used to be our bonding time. We would watch
wrestling on Saturday nights and Monday nights. I actually grew up in a WCW
household because he was a little bit more traditional, so I grew up with
him yelling at the wrestlers like they could hear him yelling to get off the
top rope. Or not go for a certain move or things like that.
So yeah, I grew up on you know, old school sting. I
grew up on the nWo. I transitioned to WWE as I started to get
into my teenage years and I started to get into my own attitude era and
that's when I transitioned over there. But yeah, I've been a lifelong wrestling
fan. I've had figures ever since I was a kid wrestling in the backyard,
replica belts, everything else, A big old belt back there, I
got one. Yeah, that was Yeah, that's that's the go to.
I love that one. It was always a thing with me, and I
had told people, I said, my one of my things that I know
I've hit it as an adult is when I have enough disposable income that I
can buy that exact belt. So that was the one thing that I wanted
to buy. That's the belt wrestling at as my graduation present. When I
got money from my family and we went to WrestleMania I think it was twenty
eight in Florida, and it was a first. I've been saying my whole
life. Because my parents were never going to do it themselves. They're never
going to buy me this three to four hundred dollars just wrestling belt, Like
what yous are gonna get? At the second I had my own finances the
same thing. One of my first purchases was getting that big old belt.
I think the Wrestling AIA twenty eight location is like pretty much like right near
me. Oh yeah, yeah that's where I love. That's where originally that's
really the hard Rock Guitar Hotel. Yeah, okay, yeah, that was
one of the trips too, because I'd been to Orlando before, but that
was in Miami and I was like, oh man, I'm gonna move there
one day. I loved my Miami was a very fun time. That was
a fun trip. But yeah, no, my story is actually similar to
David where it was grandfather balling time. The difference for me was my family.
For most of his life, he came from Germany and my my grandmother
came from Hungaria and then somehow, I don't know how they land in Calgary,
but they got in Calgary and they used to go to Stampede wrestling all
the time, so they were around for that whole era. My sister,
my sister's, my mom, and my auntie met the hearts multiple times and
everything. So they had taken from when they moved to Clone, which is
like farther away from Calgary, to that wrestling kind of mindset. And then
when I was over with him, same thing all the time. When I
was there, was catching it and I don't know why, and we'll get
into it at some point. My first memory is like of the Undertaker.
I don't think that's the first time I saw wrestling, but that's why for
many years he was my all time fare because it was something about Okay,
loved the spookiness and the sci fi and this is when he was like full
on still dead Man and walking zombie and stuff. So it was great stuff.
But yeah, because that Calgary Stampede love that they had that introduced me
into wrestling. And then once I was older, me and my sister watched
it together and I've been watching it kind of ever since. I was the
difference. So I was primarily WWE guy, So every once in a while
catch WCW, especially when Sting was on. Sting was my guy. I
loved, you know, same thing, dark character, but yeah, there
wasn't much of like the channel clicking for me then. And then I've tried
to. I don't think I ever. I've wanted to many times. I've
started, like at the Nitro Era and try to watch all. I haven't
got through it yet. I want to at some point because some of those
episodes before, like the the Hogan Turn, are a little i won't say
cheesy, but like like there's not much. The nWo wasn't needed thing at
that point, you know, it was a good idea. So and then
yeah, I've watched wrestling at that point too. When I was younger guys
into it all. I was watching Ring of Honor like I used to know
all, Like when Seampunk did come in, I was like, oh,
I know who this guy is. Nowadays I'm like playing ketchup. Like luckily
Twitter makes it a lot easier. But I watched a bunch of that stuff,
and then yeah, I've been watching ever since. Around the very dark
times in WW, it was like twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen, that's when
I had thought pretty much like I'd watched the pay per views, but that
was really it. Even if I had the misspay reviews, that was it.
But yeah, that Air of the Big Dog and dog food and all
that stuff that they did Bobby Lash's family, Like I was, I was
out and thank goodness for like New Japan and the Elite, cause for a
while, I was like I stopped watching the penterrastling. I was like I
don't know what to watch anymore in Japan. When you first get to the
New Japan world at that time, their app was very confusing. It was
it's not streamlined. It's not a great app. So the first time I
started was like, what the where do I even think? People still have
it issues at that app. And on Twitter, they like they copyright claim
like their own videos, like autumn things, so like the new jure Van
Twitter like post clips and like within like a day, it's like copyright claim
by themselves. It's not a great layout. And then learning like pay per
views are at like three am in the morning. Their pay per views are
very different their shows because they'll be like it'll be a ten match card in
the first five matches are just tag matches, and it's it's just like a
get everybody on the card, and you're there's multiple like ten man tags.
There's very little promos. So and then now eventually we'll get to like once
Cody came back and see him Punk came back and the product has gone better.
I've slowly okay, watching more weekly here, tuning here, or I'll
catch up and stuff. So now I'm starting to get back int the w
BEL which I'm happen because I didn't like leaving w W. But at one
point, s Pobs it was it was a tough It was a very tough
couple of years, like it was those last few vistag Man years before COVID
were it was real. It was the type of wrestling for me, it's
like if people knew you watched it, it was like embarrassing. Now I'm
never embarrassed to watch wrestling. I'll always say I'll watch for my whole life.
But that was the wrestling where it's like, man, I don't want
to admit that I'm watching this stuff right now, you know. So uh
but yeah, that's kind of my journey here. So that's how we get
into it. And yeah, let's bring up biggest show of the year happened
in a couple of weeks here, So we're gonna start off hot and get
in wrestlating predictions. Now. I wanted to ask before because I have the
matches kind of like I guess from it's CBS. I don't know why I
keep every time I pull up lately it's CBS. They got a good search
engine. So I have all the matches announced. Is there any matches not
announced or anything that we could talk about that you think are gonna happen?
And I suppose I was gonna ask you first, what do you because we're
talking about in the discord, what do you think is going on with like
the Kabooki Warriors, Bianca, Tiffany Naomi, Like what is the combination?
Because I feel like somehow they're gonna be on the card. Do you have
a confident prediction of what that's gonna be or do you think that's even for
them? Still up in the air trying to figure that all out. I
think if Bianca interacts with like, well, Bianca next week has a match
with Dakota okay with like the Damaged Control at ringside, So I was gonna
say, if she interacts with Tiffany next week, then it's that match.
But I don't think that's like I think they're doing like the six woman tag,
and I mean the they did it last year too, with like it
was Becky Leita and tristass against Damage Control. So I guess I think they
just do another six person tag again. So do then, like like it's
it's so weird because the call ups, like I'm sure you've learned this,
subs. Usually they're always the night after WrestleMania or like the SmackDown, Right,
It's like from what it seems though, like I remember it seemed like
fast tracked Tiffany because that was the reports. Like it was like they were
thinking she'd be ready like in a few months. So I assume it's like
but then they saw the rumble and they said, like they changed plans and
they wanted her immediately on on main roster, which makes sense. But if
like she's in a match of Mania, to me, it doesn't make much
sense like I thought. I mean, also, if next year's her first
Mania and supposedly it is in Minnesota, she is from Minnesota, Okay,
so she's right, I'm not gonna spoil anyth because we got the draft coming
on. I'm yea good. I feel like we're thinking it's good rumble for
the potential there. But I said this in the discord, and you can
join the GV discod we have wrestling one up. It's in the link down
below. I'm hoping for uh. I think two nights you can do two
WrestleMania or two women WrestleMania matches. I still think they should do the Andres
Men in Battle Royal, like they're good pre show matches. Put them on
there. But I'm hoping it's Beyonca and Tiffany and then Jade and I all
versus the KOBOOKI Warriors, because same thing as Braun and Tiffany. You understand
Tiffany coming up, but with Braun or with Jade, it's like two weeks
before Mania, she's gonna debut. It's it's a very odd thing. I
don't think they're gonna do. Like I guess you could also have Jade versus
Naya. I guess like there's a few options, but I would very much.
Like we've talked about this, there's not been a single women's match in
WrestleMania that's not been for a title, and I think that should change.
Like if there's gonna be fourteen matches and like three out of the fourteen or
women, it's like, to me, that doesn't make sense because sometimes they're
the best and some of the most popular. So for me, it's like
people love Tiffany, people love Bianca. That's a singles match, right there.
Tag titles like people, they did a great job at the rumble with
Jade and making her feel like a big deal. Like I feel like even
that's ten to twelve minutes for a Naomi Jaye can get the hot tag,
squash a bunch of people, and then you can eventually break them up,
Like I feel like it's an easy one two punch it. I think if
it might suck for Dakota because Oscar hasn't wrestled yet though in a while,
right, because that was the rumor she might be injured and they might have
to go, Like yeah, it seemed like she wasn't like like she got
at least walk on. She was dancing. I saw her dancing, so
so that's not too bad. You know. So Osca has un wrestled since,
like I guess, I don't know. They've had like a few title
defenses, like recently. I forget who was the last one, but he's
definitely have like within the last couple of weeks. Okay, I was gonna
say, maybe they're just healing. I was wondering if there's a way to
do like an eight woman tag if you have like damage Control plus Tiffany versus
like Jade, Naomi, Bianca and I don't know who the fourth woman on
their side would be, but I just feel like it's the people they have.
To me, it's weird if Tiffany, Dakota and Jade and even Naia
to extent miss but I don't think ny it's gonna like I guess Live Actually
that's what Live could be doing. She could be the they could be a
surprise partner. People keep posting that Bobby lastly with the Andrea Giants ran what
do you think? As it says right now, Bianca Bellair does not have
a match, and she you know she is gonna draw big at Russemania,
all of them she has a match like if it's like if like even if
the tag team titles weren't defended, like they would put a Bianca match over
that. Yeah, because because last year that three like three v three wasn't
for the like they had the titles. What was before the titles? Yeah
to me and yeah, Bianca is a must you have that show and for
me, for a while, I'd have to go back it wasn't last year
because she what did they gosh, what was she doing last year? Oscar
Oscar? Yeah, and that was like it was a good match. But
the two years before the match she had a Sasha and the match you had
a Becky Temmy were both like the matches of the night at those WrestleManias.
So that's why I feel like her like I just like her and Tiffany could
be that grants the sleeper match, you know, that would be that would
be a great match. I mean that that's what I've been hoping for,
but I don't it's gonna happen. So if we can just agree that at
least the tag titles will be online and I'm sorry that you, David.
Do you think the Kobookie Warriors retain said titles if they're on the line come
Wrestling Ania time. I think it all falls into who they wrestle against.
I could see them walking out still as the champs, but I don't think
that they've been situated as enough of a strong stable. They're more of the
cheating, backstabbing heel stable than they are they just straight up strong stable that
is guaranteed to return. So I could see them losing against and Naomi and
whoever she teams with I think is on whatever team. Yeah, if Jade's
on a team, there's no way like hit like Kyrie saying, and she'll
sell like across the ring. Yeah. And that's theother reason I could be
a six women take too, is if oscar'sdies in one hundred percent, that's
a good way that she could be in the match and do minimal stuff and
not get this to tag out and that's yeah yeah, or like what I
could see like Jay like catch her by the throat before the mists and stuff.
I don't know if they'll do ben aw she used to do like the
kiss of death, like moral coment. She used to kiss them, so
I'd love there's a good spot that Knockmore did in the last match with Great
Mudo or Great Mold. I don't think would do that, but that would
be like a great spot if she goes a mister and she does that Kiss
of death and shoots it back like yeah. I think whatever situation is,
whether it's six women or tag, I think all damage control. Like I
think EO's losing. I think they're losing the match or the titles. I
think it's not gonna be a good night for Damage Control. And I think
I wonder if if Dakota, like because a lot of times with these bianco
ones, like it's like, oh, this time is gonna be the one
where she loses due to their interference, but where they she was like having
matches against like Bailey like every week for a while, like last year it
was like just every single time Yanka like Damage Control in her fear and she
would still be Bailey everything. Oh I know that, But I feel like
I wonder if they give like Dakota or maybe it seems like she's gonna lose
and then like Jade interferes and then it's like, oh Bianca stolen's and now
it's a six six tag. They may they booked Beyonca like twenty ten John
scene against Damage John. I love. I think her and re are like
it's one A, one B right now. But yeah, like they're like
and the matches are like the matches with Bailey were good, like like every
time they would all be different, like it wasn't like same match, but
it's like okay, like I know how this is gonna go, but how
do you have a lot like That's what bugged me so much. You have
a ladder match and Bailey's supposed to be greater on her own, and then
she also has two people helping her, and Bianca still like gets the victory.
Like how that's like you gotta find some that's where you gotta have other
people come out. You gotta find some way to you know. But luckily
we're I think in an era where people think a bit more smarter. But
anything else on, uh these women any other predictions before me? In the
official matches here, it's for for another like unannounced match. There's something like
the Luchadors match, right like Ray Mysterio, Dominic Mystereo, l O Lictado,
Dragon, Lee Andrade maybe and there he's been pound a round with Judgment
day, right, so I'm sure he's gonna turn. They're gonna offer him,
he's gonna know, and then they can do Andrad and Charlotte versus Rhea
and Dom when Charlotte gets back, and that will be tons of fun.
But yeah, I'm down for that. Hopefully they don't give it some really
like cheesy like Lucha Madness nicknames like that. But it was very odd.
Dom just come back all of a sudden, like it's been a year since
him and his dad had beef and then he's just back to having beef with
his dad, like it wasn't transpired by anything. So I think you're right.
There's probably some sort of Luca type of match, and that's fine.
I thought for a while they were gonna hold Ray and Santos off to Wrestlemani,
but they just didn't. So yeah, that's good enough, you know
which, I think that they got that out the way because they may be
setting up for Ray versus Dom WrestleMania and then that be it. I have
a feeling to do a number two. I have a feeling that Ray is
on the downturn and this he wants to have that big moment with Dom because
him in last year. Yeah yeah, and I wonder if it could come
down It was like I could see that almost a combo of the idea.
If they did like an elimination and it comes down to Ray and Dom and
then Dom gets the win this year, that could be another possibility. Yeah,
So do we think that that could be happening either to the women and
men? They're just not doing them And I don't want this. I hate
when they do like WrestleMania SmackDown or like get that ship out, that's when
they like last year, the one they had was like the Showcase Tag Showcase
ones, which I want, like people always post that, like Ben's when
those like a banger was it was a good one and it was a matched
that everyone. That's just kind of right. It's super short. It's like
it's like a seven minute it's like super it's a crazy or they shot them
all with adrenaline and just said get out there, and that's it's a crazy
time. Speaking of that, in the match that I feel bad for whoever
the producer asent of this, it's a six team AK twelve. It's a
six pack twelve men ladder match for the undisputed Duny Take Team Championship. This
is gonna be like a disaster. I remember Money of the Bank asse they
used to it started wrestling. It was six for like the first three years,
and then they went to eight and then they got to ten and everybody
was like, k ten is just way too much. Now they're doing some
match with twelve. People like and I don't know what time they're gonna get,
but this is featuring you got Judgment Day, obfuse d Y, New
Day Awesome Truth, and then just on SmackDown you got Theory and Waller.
Do they have a team Na, you meant did they have like a town
down Under downdown Under and then the Street Profit. So I was gonna say,
Dave, what don't you feel about this match? The participants in two?
Who do you think would take this? Get the big one like Pete
Dunn, Tyler Vayden. There they are, it's not listed here Judge A
d Why, New Day Awesome Truth, TVD and TVD. So aren't they
in the match? Yeah? I think yeah they are. I don't know,
I might have just missed you saying one of them. No, it's
not on it's New Day d I Y Awesome Truth Day, Grayson Waller,
Oh no, because there's next SmackDown. Like on RAS just if you won
the match, you were in it, but on SmackDown it was like qualifying,
So I think it's like, yeah, I think it's like who is
it against? Like I forget but like the New Catch Republic and then Lego
Dell. Okay, yeah, so Tyler Vane and Pete Dunn are in it.
Yeah, they're gonna yeah, I guess profits. Yeah, I don't
know street profits, like AOP is gonna attack them. And then they have
like Bobby Lashley versus Carrie and Cross. Yeah, they'll have their all three
trio smatch. That's the equality they'll have for the women's when you get your
carrying Crossop, give me the women all day on that way, it's not
as bad peals about talk about the aw vortex. I feel like Karen Cross
Vartex is like the same thing, Like it's so weird and next year he
was gonna be like this next big thing and now he's just like this is
great. Backstage segments like they do one every week of him and like Scarlet
and they're they're always good, but they're just like yeah, never play on
TV and like never mentioned like they have this whole story like going on in
like backstage segments that it are just like not on TV ever, so promos
and other things they're just not it doesn't translate to bringing storyline out of that.
Like they have some good vignettes, some good video packages, but after
that they just dropped the ball And I'm like, what what is Paul Ellery?
What is Paul ellering? There? I don't think he's done anything.
The most is like it's like point at ao f to like a tax on
on. Yeah, I wish the street profits weren't tied up with them because
I would like them in this six pack ladder match, just because I think
that both of them, Montese Fort Angela Dust, they could do some amazing
things. They have no chance of winning whatsoever, but they could put on
some amazing spots, just like Angela Dust last year with his running spot against
Bronz Stroman knocking him out. You know they can. They can have some
awesome moments with that. I have a feeling that Judgment Day is still going
to walk away with us because I don't I don't see anyone who has been
positioned as we can take this unless they just want to continue to pat the
New Day's numbers, which I personally love the New Days, so I'm all
for it, But I don't see anyone else that's really been there. The
only other thing that they could do is have awesome truth and when just to
continue this storyline with our truth. What I was thinking was, like,
I think there's two ways, either awesome truth wins it straight up or like
every like like our Truth like goes up there and like makes Judgment Day fall
off, and then another team just grabs that at the end, like Awesome
Truth doesn't win, the Awesome Truth costs Judgment Day. Like I don't know,
like like d I wise going up and Judgment Day's going up, and
like our Truth accidentally pushes Damien off the ladder and then dy wins or something
like that. If Awesome Truth that's in winning it, I think for me,
Awesome it's a lock. I think they're gonna give I wanted to have
it. Yeah, it's weird because, like I see on my timeline that
some people are really mad at that idea, and I guess I kind of
get it because I understand if you want the tag team titles to be like
his tag team tails for both do B and W, they go on these
waves of being like it's the best thing happening, or it's like very minor
middle of the car, and I don't think it's Judgment Day's middle of the
car. But it's definitely been just kind of overbay, Like I feel like
there's not much going on with it right now, so there could be some
freshening up and maybe Awesome Truth isn't like the ring team, but I don't
know, like Truth and Mi's been busting their asss for years. Last year,
Mis had to think on his feet with that Snoop Dogg shaming man thing,
like he's always I won't say the whipping boy, but like he's just
the company guy. And Truth it's like he doesn't have like a mania moment
really right, like he has good skits, but like, I think they
want that moment of Truth on the ladder holding the titles and the crowd saying
what's up. They could even lose it. They could pull Zack Writer Judgment
Day could beat them the next night after, Like I legitimately think that could
happen or somebody else like an NXT team or something. But I'm going with
Awesome Truth. I think they're gonna give him the moment, and I think
it will matter because the crowd will be hyped. People love our Truth.
So I don't get why people are like the official Awesome Truth entrance on all
like the New Titan Tron and everything, okay, so yea yeah, and
they're doing like the remix theme with like miss wrapping on it too, So
I think they're like if I had to pick between those just right now,
like not trying to like fantasy book, out's gonna happen. I think it's
awesome truth, awesome truth. Okay, we'll see another random match, only
two guys, but I think very random. La Knight versus AJ Styles.
This is the classic undercard. Hey, we have two guys, are very
popular, we like them, both want them on the card. Let's just
have them fight. It's like see them Punk and Orton in twenty four.
It's like Triple H and Undertaker seventeen, where it's like, let's just have
them fighting. Go it out. La and I just got arrested this week,
so hopefully all these charges will be dropped before. I think they said
AJ dropped the drop the charge in good good what a good guy because he
wants a beat him in WrestleMania, right. I think it's actually has potential
to go two ways, be a sleeper hit or for some reason, I
could see them not having in ring chemistry at all. I don't know why,
because AJ Styles can like rest little broom and get a good match.
But I think I think it'll be as I'm gonna lean that. I think
they'll have a really good one, and I don't know if we'll be talked
about because there's gonna be lots happening both nights, but I think it's gonna
be entertaining. I think hopefully they give like Ellie Knight, like a really
sick entrance or something, and I think Ellie Knight's gonna take the w on
this one. I think they'll keep the momentum til he's the guy that beats
Logan Paul in my opinion, So yeah, this could be either an exceptional
match or it could be the fill over match to get you between two big
matches. People getting their food, they're getting the bathroom breaks. That's it.
All depends on place when I think with this one with the card too,
like how people are excited for it or not because they could put in
a dead spot and not good. Yeah. I'm hoping though that Aj comes
out his old TNA style when he came out to Evil Ways when he was
doing his whole lone man thing and have the hood up and then switch that
up. I'd be all for that. But I just have a feeling that
right now this is being position to a Hey, La Knight, you've been
doing great, so we're gonna make sure you're going to be on the card.
Aj Styles. We know that you can handle this, so we're putting
you guys together. We don't know where on the cards are gonna be,
but they're probably going to be the cool down match, the clean up and
get ready for some big event. Let's get the good pyro ready. Let's
restock this and they get all the ladders ready, right fifteen ladder's gonna get
yeah going, there're the match that's happening while someone is carting over the truck
full of ladders for the next match. So and he just sounds surprised.
It's funny because the very first resumating he was against Jericho when he lost,
and everybody was like, such a mistake, big debut. But since then
he had like he beat Shane, he beat Randy Orton, just the same
thing. He had another year where just a random, hey, you guys
are gonna have a match. He beat Nakamora and I can't remember he did
lose the edge that year and that was the start of the judgment day.
Funny enough, and that was to me a bunder. But like he doesn't
have like a record where sometimes you look at guys like, yeah, a
lot of people always post like like a J Steles has had like a great
match at at WrestleMania. That's the one, like people say, like it's
crazy that aj Stell's the greatest Wreslovania matches against Shane rick Man and because it's
I think a couple like the Jericho one that was just like second match in
the card. It was his debut. That was fine, but like both
Knock and were on edge. They had shenanigy, like both of them were
turning heel at the end of the match, and it was one of these
things were just they didn't just let him and Knock a wrestler or him and
Edge wrestle like you had to have Damien pre show up and just stand there
and stare and like they took both these kind of matches and made them like
store one was right boneyard. Yeah, that's like a I put in a
different spear, like it's great, but it's like great like a row like
a grindhouse sort. I feel like that's still like that still deserves to be
on like his record at least to the show too, you know, like
it was good for him. So yeah, it's still like a fun one.
But uh yeah s bubs Aery Green lest that Ellie Knightskin the Yeah,
I think good guy AJ putting over Young Talent Night. What's the age difference
between those two? Like a year? AJ sounds forty six, six years
and he's like, I was, okay, yeah he's been young talent.
That's perfect. Yeah forty one, so five years ok. Perfect. So
next we got the brother War. It's happened fifteen years, which is crazy.
First wrestling ten, you got the Hearts Restum twenty five, you at
the Hardy's and now you got the Oosa's U j O us O versus Jimmy
Usso. Can't wait for jay Z's entrance because that's gonna be tons of fun
that crowd. There's not a chance in the world Jimmy Usso is winning this
match. I really don't think so. All I want for this match is
one I think it could be good, and I hope this like turns the
points for Jimmy's character because I'm somebody that like I think they hug at the
end of the yes, and I hope that super will super kick Rollman because
I think up until SummerSlam bloodline storyline was pretty flawless. And then when they
had Jay within a month or Jimmy on a month, turn on Roman and
then turn back on Roman, and just like they ignored it. It was
such like jumping the shark moment. I think they've somewhat recovered. But ever
since then, I've not been locked the storyline because it was just it was
pointless. So that's where I hope they kind of see the light. I
hope it's not some chit cannery where Jay gets the thumb and then Jimmy gets
a win because everyone doesn't think Jimmy like sometimes will do that, isn't it
the past two brother matches the hell yeah hells one. Yeah, So that's
where I'm I'm not saying it's impossible I'm gonna pick Jay, but I still
think there's like a fifteen percent chance they could swerve, especially because like if
Jimmy beat him for like mega heat, I don't know why, Like,
yeah, here's how I see it going. I see Jimmy going over Jay,
and this is how it's going to be a situation where Jay is dominating
the entire match, But then it's going to be that bloodline comes through the
bloodline trickery because you got to get it out the way now because you can't
use it again later for Cody's story. So get all your trickery, get
out your bloodline winning. Jimmy says, he sets the tone, and he
is talking the rest of night one and all in the night two about how
the Bloodline's going to be dominating because of how he set the tone in his
quest to prove over and it's not going to be a clean win, but
it's going to be a win just so he can go back and go to
Rome and look what I did, So glad I did. If you don't
have if you have Jimmy winn like not clean, do you have Rock and
Roman beat Cody and seth clean and then like use the bloodline rules or do
you have like Jay Jimmy wins through interference. Then like end of the night,
they went through interference again, and then night two is gonna be bloodline
rules with interference. That could be it. I think they could win the
first two nights of interference and then night two that's when people are like,
oh screw this. We were like that that fantasy booking of like the glass
breaking, like you just have a stone cale. Oh god, damn good,
Like what's going on? Why they keep doing this? And then he
was like I'm gonna call, like I think you could because I guess we
could tie that in right now because it's maybe at night one with the tag
match, I think the Bloodline is definitely winning there. I think Cody's taking
the pin because every day I see a meme about all Seth's like he's he's
looking at the lights, like why would they like they're they're gonna copy it?
Just it just be dumb, like like I don't know why Seth like,
I'm sure they'll have like I'm excited for like when people tag in just
to have like these many one like Seth and like when Seth and Rock tag
in, like I don't know, I think that that's like a cool,
cool moment. Oh there's so much something like you think would have happened.
They get two to three minutes each on like a stare down, you know,
like they like and I'm fine that if the match is very much like
Rock and Hogan where there's very little moves, it's more about the aura and
then some interference, that's great. But I think they'll win and That's why,
actually David might not be wrong, because the way Jimmy to me might
win is I think the whole story for Roman. There might be a Cody
rematch, but it's probably gonna be Bloodline related, And I think if Jimmy
just turns on him already, there's not much story there. So if if
it's the Rock versus Roman next year or whenever, him still having Jimmy,
him still having Solo could play into that and that whole family dynamic. So
yeah, another way Jimmy could lose. It's like opposite of interference. Like
he thinks like Solo's coming out and like no one comes out, calls for
put him off already, Yeah, and they next stage like, oh we're
getting ready for the main event. We can't have anyone else. Yeah,
he's yeah, It's like like you kicked me out already, Like I'm back
with I Just see bloodlines interference. Just see Bloodline looking strong all the way
up until thend of Night too, because that sets the stage for Cody's win,
like all the obstacles. If you're finishing the story, you're finishing the
story on top because make Roman look strong, look strong, build everything up,
create that doubt. Hey, maybe they're not going to pull the trigger
on Cody because if Jimmy's the one earlier and then the Rock or Roman ends
up pinning uh Cody on night one. Okay, you've created this doubt.
Are they going to do it at the tablest Stack? And then how is
he going to do it? If he does do it? I agree with
them losing the tag match, Like I think like one percent bloodline wins the
tag match, the the j and Jimmy one. It's like it feels like
it should be obvious that Jase winning it, but then you don't know for
official prediction. I'm still gonna stick with Jit just because I can see it
happening now like you guys are just I cann't see it happening. But I'm
gonna stick with you just just because. Yeah, for my fish, I'm
gonna I'm gonna swap. I think David, for me, has convinced me
that they are gonna pull Jimmy just so the bloodline can bloodlin Roman looks strong.
I can't even think about that. I still like and because they at
least with Jay like he's it's tough because like I I think, you definitely
need interference for Jimmy to win. I don't think he can win cleaner by
himself because I don't think Jimmy is gonna be the solo star that Jay is,
and he may be, And I don't think Jay losing either like like
kills him, like oh he's buried because Solo too, because then they could
do like Jay and Solo at a pay per view or soup, right,
yeah, like and Jay gets a win there because Solo just takes nothing but
losses nowadays, Like I'm gonna I think someone. I think someone is like
twenty five and zero against on the House shows. I agree with everybody about
they mishandled the Solo and Ausestoin theory thing. I'm all down for Scena taking
losses, but the fact that he took those losses and both of them have
just been like booked so like kind of very weekly. It's like, man,
I they Sina should have got one of those wins. I agreed that
narrative that he should beat Theory on WrestleMania, and then the next night on
Monday, he like drops it back to Theory or someone else because like,
like s eight those losses for nothing. Solo's like he needs, he needs
something, he needs, he needs some hoods, and that's what I mean.
I think he didn't have to be j too. So that's a good
thing, Like it's a good night. Because we might think some winners are
predictable, but how we get there's not. So Okay, So I'm Jimmy
and the bloodline for the tag. You're I suppose you're your Jay and bloodline
for the tag. And then I'd assume David, you're Jimmy. Are you
also bloodline for the tag? Yep? Yeah, Okay, there's there's no
way that that would be the most almost anti climactic if if Cochy, Yeah,
if they win the tag, then I will be really worried about the
story being finished because like there's not the tag that's the SETH turns absolutely.
Yeah. Yeah. I was gonna ask you though, who pin are?
We all agree, and so we think what he's gonna take the pin?
Because I do. I think they're gonna be harder. I think I just
think straight Roman pins Cody, because I feel like if you have Rock pin
Cody, that's like you're building Rock versus Cody. Yeah, but I don't
want to build like Rock Roman more. Yeah, I don't think we're ever
getting Rock and Cody. I think they are going to do the double agent
thing and Rock's gonna be like, oh he's he's a team player. We
took shots at each other, but we took it like, I just don't
I love it. But I also just cremona and yeah, I just I
just also feel like Cody and Rock is like a style, Like that's a
match. I could just see like thinking that. Yeah, I can just
see it's stinking the event. Yeah. Now, one thing I do see
what the tag is that Roman is going to be the one to get the
pin. But it's not gonna be because of what Roman does. I have
a feeling it's gonna be the Rock doing something and Roman having him step aside
and reminding him in the middle of the ring that he is the head of
the table. That's what's gonna set him up cheap tag, and that's what's
gonna set them up for the future. Is Roman is certain that authority over
him, then Rock is not gonna let that line. Then after WrestleMania,
that's gonna come back around the best. Rock's gonna get the tag and he's
like I want the like I need to be the one that pin Cody.
They would have to do it because it's only rock Is wrestling. But imagine
the Heat of Rock was going for the People's elbow and mid run romana and
yeah, and that would be great, right, he could do the People's
elbow night like that. Yeah, right, huge. He's running the ropes
and he tags like yeah, it doesn't even do like, oh my god,
like it's gonna be fun. That made Yeah, he's like he's throwing
the glasses out and then uh, he's doing this and he just dives in
covers Cody for the for the Okay, So then we got Logan Paul versus
Randy Orton versus Kevin Owens. I'll say I'm very happy Chaos here because I
just feel like he's been working hard past the Wrestlemani's he's main evented like night
one, So like, I'm happy he's not getting for gone or he's not
got the Bobby Lashley's statue or something. And I think is a good scenario.
But Esbobs, who do you think is you think Logan Paul's runs retaining
I think returning Randy Orton's getting the win here? Are they throwing Kevin owens
a bone. What's gonna happen here? I think Logan retains. I don't
know until when maybe Summer Slam, like because that's in Ohio. But then
also I feel like maybe he drops it before then to have a bigger match
chet Summer Slam, like you could do out of the like Logan and Cody.
Cody's a champion and that'd be a big match. But I think he's
it's no triple threats of no DQ, I guess, so I assume he'll
like brass knuckle. I feel like you can have you can have the I
feel it or you do like he is, like you do that where like
one of his friends runs out and like he gets our kao like at ringside
and he wins, like just because now Randy is distracted or something like haven't
went like clean without the brass knuckles or something just because use it every time.
I don't know, I'm in agreeing. So I think Paul gets to
win, Ko takes the pin so they can do Paul and ornat Backlash or
something else than a one on one. I think they'll say they I think
they want to do that, but I think like they like Kevin. He's
a good worker. I think it makes sense. He was already in this
storyline that they left on like a cliffhanger and rumble, so it would have
been weird just to kind of drop it. So yeah, I think Paul
gets to win and holds on to it for a while. I'm not sure
about the Cleveland thing because I just don't know. Yeah, I don't think.
I don't know if he holds it until Summer Slam. Yeah, because
what other I guess there'd be, Like he's a good one. I don't
know if he would win money like cashing successfully, but I think him holding
money in the bank, they could see money on that because he's not always
there too, So it's like a good You never know when he's gonna show
up in cash and on somebody. He could drop the bell at like like
a Night of Champions or like Backlash or something like that. What about you,
David, are you dreaming with Paul? Do you think someone else is
taking it? Logan? Paul wins Ko takes the pin, yep, Ko
jumps off of something. Yeah, probably yep One of Logan's friends eats An
r Ko. All of those things are happening yeah, and that is my
prediction for that entire match, because Randy Orton is getting a memorable RKO own
somebody, and Kevin Owens is going to jump off of something high. It's
going to happen. You know, it's going to happen. Every time I've
seen him in one of these backstage segments or one of these behind the scenes
things, he's at the plase he's at previous WrestleMania's, he's looking for what
he's going to jump off of. He is going to find something to jump
off of. He is going to make a memorable moment of jumping off of
something. And I think Randy's just there to be the veteran keep everything together
and throw out some memorable r KOs. But Logan's going to keep it.
He's gonna keep it at least for another month or two. I could see
him dropping it at Money in the Bank and winning the money in the Bank
itself, because just the while the look of him with the belt is fine,
the look of him with the money in the bank case on all the
time anything else, you know, he's gonna throw a prime sticker on that
thing. There's so much that they can do with the he could put prime
in the briefcase, there's so many opportunities, so I can see him holding
it for now just so that they can have that talking point, but then
yeah, dropping it almost immediately and set himself off for money in the bank.
And Logan pal Toony is the type of guy too that could cash in
and lose and he wouldn't actually be that hurt, you know because it kind
of fits with his character like he's getting better wrestling, but he could also
just be he's not a wrestler, right, so it's just kind of like
if he just cashes in on someone, like he's like, ah's gonna be
my moment where like they're down, but it's like there's still like a better,
better wrestler though. Yeah, he's so confident that he's gonna just win
this and same thing. It could be for a year, right. So
for me, it's like on that World heavweight title picture, it could be
easily anybody like he could the fucking guy could cash in on see him punk
like like like I feel like I do thinkts on. Yeah, I think
whether it's Cody or Roman, whoever has that title is still gonna hold it
to Like now, year's mainie, Like I think when Cody gets it,
he will get a long run. So I guess that is the good thing
with two world titles that I just don't I don't think Logan Paul would like
defeat. The story's not gonna end with like Logan Paul cashing in money in
the bank, Like I don't think that's the Cody on the on the prime
du yeah doing the whatever, Like I think like even Rawlins is a better
chance of being Cody because he's like three to zero against But with the World
aweight title in a year, that's easy. Even if you want to Logan
have like a one month run like Edge did that, Like that his first
time he cashed in, he had it for a month, dropped to the
scene and that was it, and then he got it back later like Logan
Paul. Even then you could have him cash in at Cleveland too, Like
that could be the big put where he has a match, but later on
the night he gets a huge pop cashing in the hometown and then he loses
it the next time. Like That's why I think the only reason I don't
think he'll vote first Cody at Cleveland because I don't know if they want to
risk anyone like booing Cody, because that's always the narrative, right, Biggest
that is definitely a big match. Yeah, I have a thought on Cleveland.
Hear me out, Logan has money in the bank. You technically can
cash in on any championship, as Austin theory and others have proved. No,
there have been talks of Jake coming over and doing some stuff with w
W could win cash in on the Tag Team Championships? Are you fucking kidding
me? I can tolerate Logan. I draw the line. I don't think
you're wrong w w W. I hate the guy, but they can do
it, and they would do it. It's not an unbelievable scenario either of
I don't think. I don't think Jake paul Is showing up is unbelievable.
I think them him cashing in on the Tag Team Championship. It's like before
Summer Slam and the big main event is like they get like almost like what
they're doing with Mania, right, It's like the Paul Brothers versus Note one
can get a like a tag team. That's true, Like you like talk
to the champions in one backstage segment and you have a championship match like the
next week. From t ko's perspective, imagine Jake Paul having some his next
big fight lined up, and he's walking to the ring for his next big
fight wearing then the tag team Championship. It's all the branding that they salivate
over, whether it's the best decision or not, it is everything that they
salivate over. It's July and when is money in the bank? May I
think mayor Junior may let's the money in the bank July six, So it's
two weeks before say you not, no, no, impossible, and then
you do SummerSlam Maine event. Mike Tyson is the special guests in forced the
ringside Who who what would be the take to? Who would they put against
the Paul brothers on the other just some squad Seth and Cody. It has
to be like a like what would be like the Big Box Office, Like
who's two single stars? We could put against the Paul brothers like r K,
r K, O like Randy or in Conn Yeah, man too bad
Edge was not around because rated r K like Edge and Randy would have been
perfect for that slot like Reunite and get back Together. But Randy and somebody
is like a good pick. You couldn't even do Randy and Cody Legacy Legacy,
and that's where Randy turns on Cody. You start that feud. The
Paul Brothers get the money, money and the oh no or so you have
a turn. So so the match at SummerSlam would be Randy Cody, yeah,
Legacy Brothers, Yeah, and then he turns on them. I that
would also be a good thing to imagine if Randy won. I wouldn't want
Cody to lose the title. But no one's ever cashing in a tag match
having a triple threat. But imagine that of like your partners, It's like
the Champion Money bank Holder Partners against the Paul Brothers and Randy warton at nowhere,
fucking arc like, Cody's going for a crossroads, get ar kaoed and
he just cash like man like the Randy Ordan money in the bank winner.
He's done it before he wanted. He should have't won it when he did,
but it ended up being a good story cashing on Daniel Bryan and that
started the whole wrestling anything And yeah, lots of possibility there. So we're
all going Paul in some sort of situation other secondary tyer Goonther versus Sammy zaying
one, I'll ask you, does it say this way? I guess Shadagna
get add someway and then two who wins it either way? I'll start with
you. David Chad gets at it. I don't know how just yet.
I've been racking my brain on how he gets at it, whether it is
so whole. One last challenge to Sammy because you didn't really beat me type
deal shoulders up, yep. If I beat you, I'm in the match.
So that after he lost, they did a backstage interview with like Kathy
Kelly and he said I'm not having a rematch because he beat me clean or
something along those lines. Well, he can change his mind, right like
Cody did. You could see the table like you know what. No stories
of Sammy backstage politics tognif So I see him getting inserted, and I think
that this is the time that you finally take it off of Gunther. And
it's a big stage. So it gives the Intercontinental Championship the big stage feel
that it deserves but hasn't really had up until Gunther's room, Like he has
made this a big deal again, So if there's ever a time to lose
it, this isn't something that you lose all on, you know, one
of the Saudi ELF World shows or something like that. This is something you
have to give some gravitas to this thing, and now is the perfect time
to do it, especially if you're going to start lining gundup to be a
main event player. He could go against Seth, Rollins, he can challenge.
If Drew mcintar wins, that would be amazing him versus Drew those big
hard coodio. I think he wins a world title at Bashi in Berlin.
I don't know which one of the two, but I think Cale dropped it.
That's August, and of August I think or Start, I don't remember.
That's I think he's dropped the Inner Continental before then. And he wins
a world title. That's that's so close, Like I know it's not that
close, but it's just weird. It's just weird because it's I guess it's
a tough thing of like Seth and see him punk of it all right,
because that's after Summer sign though, right, So yeah, I could see
them do Seth and Punk at Summer Slam Seth gets the win and Gunther gets
the Yeah, it's not unbelievable. I think if Drew wins, that gets
a little more dicey because I don't I don't know if they'll play hot potato
with the title that much, because nowadays, like all companies just fucking love
long rains. Like if you were, I feel like flier days easy,
you know, I'd want one of them to be like like moving around.
Yeah, okay, so wrestling, because my pitch was gonna be that wasn't
gonna go that way because I thought there's gonna be so much big stuff.
They didn't want the person winning the title to be like kind of under the
rock and the Cody stuff and everything. But yeah, I forgot about bash
of Berlin, and I think you do. I think you want him to
lose the title and have some time. You don't want him to lose it
and then just right away get a world title shot. Like I feel like
there has to be a little grace period. So I'll say Chad won't get
added. And I haven't thought too why he wasn't gonna lose it because originally
they were gonna do him in Brock And I don't think Brock was gonna be
Icy Champ and I know plans change, but like, yeah, this one,
I'm really I'm gonna I'm gonna say Guther keeps it here and maybe back
by Uther keeps it. Process is this is your your Night one Babyface.
Title change could be yeah, depending on the booking of it, that could
be yeah, because I we'll talk about the other ones, but I don't
think there's gonna be any title change. But could they? Could that not
be Bailey as well? Though too depends on if she's Night one or Night
two. I have a feeling that maybe becan Ria will be Night one.
Get that one out the way, because that that's such a big one.
You want you don't want to put that one up against Rawlins and McIntyre that
same night and then Cody and Roman that same night. You want to let
that one breathe as where the Bailey Eosky one although it is finishing open Night
two or absolutely, I think they could. I think it opened either night
like honestly, I think the Pop of Being I think I think Jay Jimmy
opens Night one really because you start with like get the crowd hyped with the
Jay entrants like yeah, start the show like number one. Yeah, I
think for me another under contender for starting the night is always ladder matches that
used to always love to start like lots of crash and bangs and stuff.
But yeah, I could agree that. I think Rihan Becky will be to
me like night one and probably second last match, like right before the tag
match. And I guarantee you the narrative the whole night's gonna be, Oh,
they had the better match in the tag match, doesn't that what happen
like? And don't get me wrong, I do think Becky and Charlotte or
Charlotte Real last year had We'll get into the slammings, but I think they
had the match of that weekend, maybe of the year. So I'm not
saying it's not true, right, just I can already see the narrative in
my mind of you know, Becky has a better match in SETH again,
you know, and well we'll just talk about that. That's an upcoming Roman
promo line. Absolutely, your wife had a better match than you at wrestling.
Yeah, yeah, Becky versus Ria. We're coming off of Riha breaking
the internet again doing the Raki she stink face, just very too smart I'll
just say that all in general, very very smart woman. She always knows
how to be in the conversation. I think Ria's holding on to this.
I know, I suppose I've seen some tweets from you that I feel like
you've been back and forth on this one. But I think Ria's holding I
think she's just the hot hand. And for me, what my hope is
she holds it. Next year, whether it's Chamber or Rumble, Bianca wins
it and they need to do Bionca and Riett wrestling as a full on main
event. They don't like it, you don't want to do Like the Four
Horsewomen, We're always like, oh, w plans to do this Fatal four
a main event one year and then look what happened. They never got to
it. Same thing the Shield, Like we still haven't even got like set
Than Like many years we thought, oh, Seth and Roman could be in
that menia. Like I feel like so many times they save it and then
shit happens, injuries, releases, free agency, whatever, and it doesn't
happen. And for me, like they are the defining two of the past
five years, like they are the new Charlotte and Becky Saush and be like
they're the new like horse from their new leaders, and to me, they
also just will have a killer match. I almost thought that should have happened
this year. I'm fine with the stories they were doing because I think they
were gonna do Beyonce and Charlotte, and that sucks because that also would have
been a Beyonce Charlotte would have been a banger like that would have had the
Jews. So I think it's gonna Beria and I don't know yet, but
my hope is it's Ria, and then we slowly start to turn her on
the Judgment Day or vice versa, because there is you know, there's a
huge babyface pop for her being the shit ad domic mysterio. That is like
that's gonna be a moment. I don't know what it is how they started,
but I think that that's what they go. Like. I think she's
like, she's still good in the group, but I think she's almost outgrown
the Judgment Day. She's so much on like a bigger level than all of
them, So I think that and she's just a baby face now too.
That's the other thing. It's like it's slowly turned out. They already they
have like they have JD go out there now instead of Rea because they don't
want like yes he like Aaron just hates JD McDonough. They just send them
out there to be a manager, the sting face alone for the training.
It's like the fact that she's just wrestling Naya Jack's on the house shows now,
the show in Australia. That made sense because that's her hometown. Oh
she's a heel. She could cheer there, but now she's like acting as
the baby face on house shows now right. So to me, it's just
like it's just kind of inevitable. It's like swerving aw where it's like,
don't fight it, just start doing it. So I think Ria wins and
I know some people talking about the double turn. That could be fun,
but I think Ria wins holds it for a while and I'm hoping Judgment Day
breakoff, but I s Bubbs, how do you see the Yeah, I
real real hold it get definitely for a while. I don't know who or
who are when she drops it too. I think realistically, before the end
of this year she drops it to someone. You think this really? I
think maybe I think they're building the live thing to something I feel like right
where because they can live uber heel and then her uber baby face and getting
there. Yeah, they could do like that sort of live as the same,
like what Cody was saying, like I'm gonna take everything from you,
not just the title. They're they're they're started doing that with with Live.
So I don't know where that's going. Maybe something dominic Judgment Day related and
that's how you get her out of the Judgment Day leader of the Judgment Day.
Oh god, yeah, like they're definitely could you have Rhea and Andrade
versus live and right that, that's where you could Maybe that's where you do
the breaking point where some dom do something in that mixed tag that starts it.
But yeah, and then you still got Ria and Charlotte. They could
do again. I you think this year, okay, I think Ria's gonna
hold on till the next Mania as well. I think they're gonna go.
I mean, like I could see like a one thousand day rain, that's
the one I've been posting, like the Roman holding the new championship with people.
They're all into breaking these records right now, and I could see them
beat whatever the record is with women and Rihau, I could see them.
Yeah, let's that's pretty I think right now, the record is just like
if she holds it past, like I forget what I know, Like I
think Bianca has the record or something like that. Okay, I think if
if she gets past this year, it's definitely breaking the record. But I
think it's something like pretty much if she wins at WrestleMania, she's beating Bianca's
record, I think. Okay, I don't know the exact number. Bianca's
record is four hundred and twenty days. And that's also why I think Ria
is gonna win, because I think that she's gonna hold it until next year,
and it is gonna be Beyonca's WrestleMania streak versus Ria's title. Yeah,
I forgot she's under that. Yeah, that's that's a good one right there.
That tells the story streak versus title, and I think Beca gets the
wind. I would think Beca would get the win that the Ria is going
to go into it with I beat your title reign. Now I'm gonna beat
your streak. Mommy dominates everything. But then she's going to beat and the
title. Watch this year, they'll put fucking beyonca in just like the Battle
Royal, she got like tossed out. There goes to streak. You know,
No, I think that's good. So you know what, a couple
of years ago, I would have believed you under the previous reign, I
would have believed you that it would have went away just like that. So
you're too both official predictions. Ria's keeping it, Yeah, yeah I could.
I think I would be sort of down for Becky winning it if she
turns heel, yes, but if she just like straight like wins it like
I've seen people postly like the Becky the whole Coga and TNA. Yeah,
I think Becky knows the good business there. Uh the other women sell match
EO versus Bailey. I'll just ask, does anyone think EO. I think
there's a shot, But I think it's Bailey's time. It sucks. That
sucks because I get it, the Rocks back, the blood line, it's
huge. It does suck because I for one moment thought Bailey was skinned because
it's always a knock every horse woman uses against her, like like Becky and
Charlie Oh in WrestleMania, and I thought this was the year they could actually
do it. I don't subscribe to the theory. I know there's a conspiracy
theory that w on purpose cooled off the feud so it wouldn't take over the
storylines. And there's been some other times where even like the I think shinsk
h wasn't the main event of that WrestleMania. Oh there's time. Oh you
know, I suppose there's tons. It was like good twenty three that yeah,
the restumated twenty three. Ray won the Rumble and all of a sudden
he's coming out like third match to the top, Like what's going on?
And then it's been like a whole chicane re since then. I wish there
was a world where the Men's winner main events one night and the Wominvent the
other. Because the Rock Tag could not be the main event, it's fine,
everyone forget and not forgets like Rock and Hogan was the main event.
I know overring us all with Jericho and Triple Ah suck, but it's like
like, I think Bailey and EO has a bit more heat than fucking Jericho
and Triple Ah did back then. So I think there's a chance EO wins,
But I think they'll give Bailey a feel good moment here, and I
feel like that's like the like sort of like what you're saying by Kevin Owans
being in the match. I feel like Bailey was finally like I think it
was like top three most losses last year or something like that, like she
was like zero in sixty two against Bianca or something like that. Oh yeah,
So I feel I feel like definitely Bailey's winning. I don't know how
that, like rain is gonna be. I don't know like who how that's
gonna go really like right now, I can't see like the future for that.
Weirdly, I think you get like a rematch with EO and then one
match with Dakota, and then after that. I don't know, but I
think those would be the two that they kind of swap, like you gotta
rematch and Dakobe drop it to like Jade at some point or something, or
whoever wins way of the bank that Bayle it could be the person they cash
in on, like whether it's a Chelsea Green or somebody like Bailey's like Rhea's
not getting cash in on, so I could see Bailey being the cash in
target. So I think Bailey's gonna win for three reasons. One, according
to Cage Match, she went seven and sixty seven last year with a nine
point one percentage. Jeez, Louise, I might pick her for my job
or in the draft. Number two, this is an apology for WrestleMania thirty
seven. Hey, we relegated you to host. We had you do that
weird stuff with the Bellet twins, all that other stuff. You know what
on us. The previous regime's not here anymore. We understand your work ethic
are bad. And the third reason is I think that she is going to
be the one that Jade takes the belt from because I don't see Hill Jade
versus he'll Eo being that big of a deal. But if Jade comes in
out of nowhere and dominates fan favorite Bailey and really solidifies herself, that will
set up her run as the monster heel that can happen, especially they do
she's on SmackDown now. But all takes as a dreat. Bai is definitely
like one of those like faces of the company, like center to all the
events with the belt and stuff. Yeah, all right, and then finally
night two does Cody Rhodes finish the story we drew And Yeah, Drew and
Seth. Where do we see special guest referee CM Punk? Do you think
that's happening special guests if we want to risk his tricept for him to make
account and watching his fucking pull it again. My hope is that seam Punk
is the host of WrestleMania and it can get involved in the match, like
the ref gets knocked down, and that like he could be the special guests
for like the last two minutes, because I think he could get really distracting
and that like there's a chance that everyone just turns on the match and chance
for seeing Punk. So it sounds like there was on that NXT show where
l A. Knight was a special guest referee, Like the crowd was just
chanting for l A. Knight the entire the entire So I think for me,
with punk prediction, he should be the host. You can have sena
that you can have him have all these fun interactions of Night one night too.
He can verset Snoop Dog if you want him to. And then yeah,
I think, yeah, the ref gets bumped and then there's no ref
and seem Punk runs down there with another ref or something and he can like
accidentally screw Drew or maybe does it on purpose, but I think Seth's getting
it. Drew is like the hot hand right now and much like the Bailey
thing. Drew, I think is one like the or lost, like the
last eight title matches he's had or something, so it's not good. But
we also legitimately don't know his contracts as so I do believe if like he's
not signed, they're not having them beat Seth at WrestleMania forty. So I
think Seth gets it so they can do Seth and Punk at Summer Slam and
then we can go somewhere else. But I would be down for Drew to
win, and you do Drew and Punk, and I think there's a fun
WrestleMania where Punk is the champion going to an extra WrestleMania versing Seth. Like
there's many scenarios. I think Drew will stay with WW and don't. I
don't really care who wins this one because I'm happy with both. I know
people keep shitting on Seth's run, but I think Seth's done a good job.
I don't love the fucking visionary Rea like I'm not. I need him
to change quick, but I don't think he will because he likes the cock
game. So I'm going Seth though, to be safe, I kind of
feel the same way, and I've got it set up in my mind.
My whole head cannon already is that there is interference and it's interferenced by Punk.
I think Punk is going to cost Drew, and it is going to
set up two fold because I don't think Punk is gonna be ready anytime soon,
but it keeps them in both of their mouths. A Punk screwed me,
That's the only reason I lost. And for Seth, it's this whole
thing of you've been talking so much trash on seam Punk and he just helps
you retain your title. So how do you come to terms with that?
So Punk comes in, hits a GTS, rolls out the ring and just
sits cross leg and watches it all unfold as Seth Rawlins has to accept the
fact that he's winning because of Seampunk's help. That sets up more trash talk
from both of them, keeping seeing punk name in both of their mouths,
and then wherever they take the championship after this, Seampunks still involved. Okay,
I think mine is a combination. Shouldn't or my reasons for different reasons
you guys have said, because you guys have brought up like apologies for other
WrestleManias and dropping it the night after and things like that. But I think
Drew is winning, even if it's just to get even if Damien Priest catches
in on them the next day, I think they want the win in front
of the fans for Drew, that's true. I would love that. I
think he wants that, like I don't think like even Damian Priest is coming
out like right after to cash in on and take away. I think they
want like I think they want Drew with the title for that win. They're
not going to do a big show recorded match. I think someone said that
that Big Show match is longer than both of the main events of that WrestleMania
combined. It's like thirty the most random stuff. Why did the Big Show
come out? And he hadn't be on tea for months this terrible book.
But yeah, I forgot about Drew not winning it. That should because that
was a moment he shouldn't have and he's mentioned that in promos like and set
said it like you want in front of like you can win it. In
front of a warehouse, but you can't win it when there's fans, like
in the bright lights and stuff like that. I think he said I was
last problem. Yeah, and like Damian cashing in and winning on Drew wouldn't
be the worst because something that you'll see s bubbs. But for the like
I don't know, after WrestleMania, probably like twenty eight now, twenty seven,
whenever Bro came back. Oh no, I'd say twenty eight Raw Aftermanium
became this big deal. But the past I'd say like three years. It's
been very minute. It's like Vince didn't care anymore about making it a big
show. So I think they do want to make it that again where they
want to make you have to watch the night after because we're gonna do a
bunch of crazy shit. And it's like they kick off to the new season
like really, So, I mean, Damian Kesh, you gonna have,
you gonna have like bron Breakers, spear one, two three on on Drew
new new champion after just strap the rocket to him. So okay, finally
yeah, now the actual one, Cody versus Roman, I think this has
to be issue in I think Cody has to finish the story. I think
this would deject a lot of goodwill they have. I think it's the time.
I will still always stay on the horse that they should do it last
year and right now they should be doing rock and Roman and you could do
something else with Cody like Night One, like I'm happy with over again.
Don't get me wrong, but I think that they're gonna do a lot of
schmasy stuff and a lot of interferences so they can get to that pop maybe.
But last year there was such a fever like that pop would have been
one of the loudest ever. And I just feel like now it feels like
a kind of four gone conclusion that Cody's gonna win. But I hope that
they can pull it off. I hope the match can be entertaining. Maybe
it won't be as good as last year, because last year, to me,
other than the ending, it was like looking like one of the best
man of Ensomania, and I did not like the solo thumb like I said,
and as I've said before, other than what they're doing right now,
and did nothing this year that needed the title. Going after Ko and Sammy's
belts fighting Jay at SummerSlam, he defended the title twice, like or three
times. He didn't need any of this. La Knight could have challenged somebody
else, like it was just kind of like an afterthought, like the title
chief, the tribal chief moniker is more important now. So I think Cody,
that's my official prediction. It is time the guy should be the guy.
There's tons of fun stuff they can do with him. And if they
don't, then like it. That is a that is a day, that
is a shit. That is the Megas shit storm on Twitter. And I
think the Wednesday Night Dynamite will have really good ratings if Cody lass, I
think I think a lot of people will be like just like after the Rock
thing of the Rumble, Everyone's like, fuck it, I'm out again.
Like I think they're smart enough to know. Restumting forty ten ended up with
Brett Hart, twenty ended with Eddie Guarrero. Third he ended with Daniel Bryan.
They're all about these big o's having the final one. And I think
Cody, hopefully with Brandy holding that title, that's the image. And if
they miss it, man TRIPLEH is just as bad as his father in laws.
So I'm saying it has to be. Cody has to be, So
that's my official prediction. I definitely agree. I definitely agree. There is
no other option unless you want to drive your audience away. Yes, And
with the way that Roman schedule has been, Roman wrestled eleven matches in twenty
twenty three and has only wrestled one match so far in twenty twenty four.
So the fact that he's doing two in a row like he's knocking out his
year. I mean, he's been on the slow decline, with the exception
of during the COVID time when he dropped down to thirty three, Like,
he hasn't wrestled more than sixty matches in an entire year, when he beforehand
was doing anywhere from one fifty to two hundred. So he's been teetering off
big time. So there's no reason to keep this long running the bloodline thing
going, the part time champion going, have the belt, have it prominent,
because Cody's all about doing the interviews, being seen doing this, being
on different shows. He's going to promote your brand. And in a time
where no matter what happens with the Men's World Heavyweight title, like if Drew
wins it, Drew's not out there doing interviews every week. Seth's been kind
of slowing down on that, spend more time with his family and his daughter.
This is your guy who's going to be driving the tour bus around country
like Lugar style with the dates all the time. I feel so bad for
Brandy. This kid, he's like, Cody's working twenty five days straight.
I'm like, what the fuck, Like I know they have the bus,
but it's like when's he home? Like my goodness, Yeah, And I
mean it's it's the perfect time to just pull the trigger on it again.
If you don't. There's so many ways you can do it with the Bloodline
rules, because it's like they're just like you could do it, like you
could do it simply like he just beats despite all the interference, or you
have like the complete like Cole Roster coming out of the back with Stone Cold.
They're like, you can do it as much, as as much or
as little as you want with the blood Ran rules. But I think he's
winning. Yeah, let's hope. If not, that second, the Gimmick
Show is gonna be You're gonna get a Travis rant on that one. You're
gonna you're gonna see me at my lowest man because Cody, like I Cody
and Kenny right now, those are my It's like a tie one A one
B. I love Kenny for the professional wrestling and especially in Japan came,
but Cody, like that's my that's my dude right now. I've gone from
like it's like been like Undertaker for decades and I was Punk for decades and
then Cody and Kenny shared it. Punk still around, but you know,
Punk's just like he's always getting hurt. My guy, Like he's just fairly
around. But I mean, yeah, Cody is that like the like people
say the news scena. Yeah, for different people, but he is like
that is what he is. I hope. So so we'll see. So,
speaking of Keani Omega and Cody Rows, we're gonna do a quick little
talk about a w and the state of and then we're gonna talk about,
oh Slammys. We'll go through those quick and pull the slammies. Okay,
So voted yes, and they've always gone back and forth. They changed sometimes
in fan votes and it hasn't a breakout Superstar of the Year, Jay Usso,
Tiffany Shrand, pretty Deadly, dragon Ly, and l A Knight.
I feel like I'm on I think Jays will take that. Anybody else I
think l A. Knight takes it. Yeah, that's yeah, that's a
tough one. Yeah, David be the tie bag or do you have another
one? I gotta go with Jay. Like, since it's fan voted,
I'm gonna go with with Jay. If it was a company thing, then
I would be thinking Tiffany Stratton or La Night. But since it's fan voted,
I think Jay's gonna get it. I mean, people are just absolutely
in love with him and l A. Knight's been kind of cool and off
lately, so right now Jay is the hot one for the fan vote Social
Star the Year. This is who you mean? I get it? But
Grayson, I think it? Yeah, yeah, true. It's just been
a god on Twitter. Just absolutely amazing. O MG. Moment of the
Year. Ray Masterio punches Dominic Mysterio, Seeing Punk returns to w EO Sky
CASHIU on the bank, The Rock slaps Cody, Cody slaps the Rock,
damage Control turns on Bailey. For me, this is the the punkster right,
Like, there's no that's the bigges that the the other one is like
there's another category like pretty much winning for the same thing. But I think,
yeah, yeah, he's taking both. I would say if if if
punk wasn't in this category, I think it'd be rock slapping Cody. I
agree, but it's definitely punk. Yeah, you gotta go with punk.
I mean the Ray Masterial punching Dom. We all saw that coming, damage
Control turn on Bailey. We all saw that coming. The slaps are great
in their own right, the Rocks more than Cody. He's like we saw
after the Rocks. It was inevitable that Cody was going to do something.
But it's got to be Seampong because that one literally was like the oh my
god, we're doing this match of the year. Bad Buddy versus Damian Priest,
Roman Mariines versus Sammy Zain at Elimination Chamber. First one was back last
year, a Gun the versus Chad Gable Raw on September, Oscar versus beyoncovers
Shart Flair at twenty twenty three SummerSlam, and chart Flair versus Where Your Ripley
Wrestling at thirty nine. Despite the ending, I actually still do think Roman
and Cody should have been on there. I thought it was one of the
best main events. But I actually don't know what's gonna win the vote here.
I saw a few months ago they did like a YouTube bracket on like
a Match of the Year, I think near the end of the year,
just like with fans voting on the YouTube channel, and I think the last
it came down to Riha, Charlotte, Roman, Cody and Goon, third
Drew Seamus and those other two aren't on the list, so then Ria and
Charlotte is winning. Yeah, And for me, that was my WWE Match
the Year, so that would be my vote, and that's what I think,
Like that for me is one of the best women's match ever, so
that's who I'll say it one. But that's also my personal WWE one for
Match to Year last year. But I'm gonna give it to Gunther and Chat
Like. I think that when people start voting for this, they're gonna look
at that and remember that they had just a peer match and it was just
an incredible wrestling match, and I think that's going to tip it in the
eyes of the fan vote. Yeah, I feel like there may be some
people who just haven't watched that if it was just like on some raw over
having been one at WrestleMania. I think they vote more. People probably vote
Ria as Charlotte and Superstar of the Year, dragging off Carmela Hayes, uh
Lyra Valkyria, Lea Valkyria. How do you say Valkyria? Okay, Tiffany
Strand and braun Breaker. I really don't know because I've not washed enough n
exted to know which way like this would go. I think Tiffany probably wins
as a fan, but I'm surprised Trick didn't make it to that list.
That's weird. But Trick would have been my choice had he been on here.
So it comes down to Tiffany, Stratton and Carmelo Hayes. Carmelo has
been consistently good and even when losing it, I mean he's been putting on
consistently good matches. Ilia Dragonov is good, but character wise doesn't really connect.
He's like the hell people say, like how characters in a w R
I wrestle good, that that's what I wrestled cool, and I'm not scared
of anything. That's like what his character is. Bron Breaker is stale even
in his hill work, so it's and Lyra Valkyria is She's there. I've
been liking her more like I think this Tatum storyline made me like Larra Valkyria.
Like before I thought laram Ma care is like okay, but I think
this stuff with Tato is really fun. Yeah, So it's gonna come down
to Tiffany Stratton or Carmelo Hayes. I think fan voting wise is gonna go
to Tiffany Stratton. Okay, Rival of the Year except Ronz versus Drew McIntyre,
Dirty Domus fucking Dirty Dominic, mystere versus Ray the Stereoro beyoncovers down to
control. Roman versus Cody, ar Truth Versus Judgment Day. I think it's
a pretty easy easy vote there with the Roman and Cody. In my opinion,
I don't think the other one does he think Our Truth Judgment Day as
a shot just social media. I think Roman Cody's doing it, but I
think that may be like the runner up because those segments, those two numbers,
those are ar Truth and Will Mover. I would love to see the
percentage of the votes afterwards, because I do think that Roman Versus Cody's gonna
run away with it. But I do think Our Truth and Judgment Day are
going to be second place because Our Truth is just pure comedy. Gold Faction
of the Year, Judgment Day, Alpha Academy, Imperium, the Bloodline and
Damage Control Bloodlines probably it. Yeah, recognition, but yeah, I'll say
the blood Line will take it. Yeah, they behind them, but Judgment
Day should win because they have been just great and everything that they do.
I'll change my vote to Judgment Day. Just this is literally for any point,
so I'll change my vote for it. Yeah, the real thing helps
the people love Dorms. We'll see. I'm gonna go with Judgment Day because
if his fan voted, fans may be tired of the Bloodline, and Judgment
Day has been great again. Their stuff with Our Truth has been amazing.
JD being just the guy to pick one has been amazing. And then Finn
Balad has been putting on quality wrestling. So mm hmm. Retur in the
year seeing Punk the Rock Night, Jacks, Andy Orton, and Naomi.
I think, like we said before, Punk has this one and vote that's
a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Nijack's has been good from every all the
matches I've seen from since I've watched, I've actually been pretty good. Best
entrance Cody Rhodes, Roman reigns like like I love Roman, but like you
just like longest. It's not like the underta words long but it's like it's
super nice. I saw a clip of I Forget. It was like from
a few years ago, and it was like the one time the producers told
Roman they were short on time where it's when it was that riddle. It's
just like yeah, it's just like like just speedily like clogging towards the ring,
like uh. Suffracan Rolls, Beyonce, bell Air, Rea Ripley,
Becky Lynch, the Rock and Dominic Masterira specifically the thirty nine one. I
feel like that has a chance because it was like a fun meme. But
I feel like the Whoa has taken a life of its own, So I
think Cody will get it. But if there's Tony or Seth, I think
just if it's Famu, yeah, so yeah, it's it's got to be
Cody. I mean everyone with the Woe, the Pyro, the whole entrance,
everything with it. It's got the rumble. Yeah, he was the
I think he was the only one to Pyro in Austin theory for some reason,
because he has his pose and they always hit the party even for some
reason they did it at the Rumble. Those only two people with Pyro and
their entrance. Male Superstar of the Year Cody Roads, Rome Rains, Seth
Pick and Rollins, Goonther and Logan Paul, which is like Logan put in
some good work, but like he's not around that much for me to be
like Superstar of the Year, Like, I don't know, that's kind of
a weird wey. I think there's someone else could have been that slot,
but I think it's Cod. Yes, that's how many slommies is Cody picking
up all award winner were record and one had like three at one point,
and that was a big deal because he always to hold the slamm's and stuff.
Female Superstar of the Year Finally Ripley, Biancapella or Bailey Eo Sky Becky
Lynch. I think Ria's taking this just because again, and that's gonna be
the ultimate sign of we need to turn this woman full baby face, because
yeah, she's a heel, she's part of this group. She you know,
helps people cheat, but like people are loving her, whether it is
her using her sexual machievement, whether it's the great character work, whether it's
just because she's so good in the ring, like she has like everything going
for us. I think she gets this. Yeah, definitely, it's it's
a lock for her. There we go, So we'll we'll report back on
the slammies after on the next gimmicks the Sunday, Like I assume like in
the afternoon before us Slovenia's when they're doing it, which is like, do
they expect town to be there? Because what a fucking ship deal? I
think then that's like some w D. I mean I assume like, yeah,
Center, yeah, Dy've announced like a ton of you like Randy Order.
Yeah, strange, strange, but uh yeah, let's talk about a
little aw And so this is something obviously I've talked about the trash told you've
been around since twenty nineteen. And again I think, like myself, many
other people theorized that hey, because WWE was so shit, that helped create
the brand that was very hot, very heavy, And then there was a
lot of turbulence the past couple of years, and I was like, speaking
of Cody, he left and that was like I always said, like,
this is a first sign things could turn. And then the seampunk drama happened.
Whichever side you are on, doesn't matter. It happened and probably was
not good for the brand overall. And then you have even recently mgf's title
run, which is debate of like everybody want this fucking guy to have the
title, and then when he did after it's like, oh, this guy
ruined the company, brought the brand down. And as you can see from
ratings, it's like for a while they were walking like a one point one
one million all the time and then dropped nine hundred and then recently they've been
sitting at they eight hundred. So David, give me, like, what
do you think the state of AW is right now? Some pros and cons?
And is there anything they can do to like climb back to where they
were before or is it a case that they're just this is like the new
middle ground? Could they even go even lower and stuff? We don't know
what the TV deal yet because the NBA rights are all up there, so
I think obviously if they go off of Warner Brothers, that could hurt them.
But what do you just feel about AW right now? They've a lot
of big signings too, Osprey mone you got Okada, So as far as
like talent, they're not lacking that but what do you think is going on
right now? I think for the last couple of months, AW has been
in a not low period, but a lower period than what they are used
to. But they are poised for a comeback. Like you said, Okada
is going to bring in worldwide recognition, not so bring in more people from
that Japanese audience, who I love New Japan, but it's been getting stale
recently, So if you're bringing in more audience from over there, that's great.
Same thing with Will Ostrey. Will Osprey has known around the world for
his wrestling. Both people in WWE and around the world, they give him
credit for being such a phenomenal wrestler. And both Osprey and Okada will not
be around three hundred days out the year. They both said part of the
reason why they came to AW is so that they could still live in their
respective homes. So, but I do think that that gives you some interjection
while you wait for the return of an MJF, while you continue to do
other things. We don't have a timetable on Kenney Omega's return, but I'm
going to suspect that he's going to be back before the end of twenty twenty
four, and you give you some other wrestlers some time to cool off so
that they can come back stronger. It also gives you some time to build
some new stars. I do think that it is time for aw and Tony
Kahan to start thinking about trimming the fat, though. I do think that
they've become a little bit bloated and some to let some people go, not
because they're not good or not because you know, it's just one of those
things that you have too much, you're not doing with it. Let these
people go make a living somewhere else, and then use the people that you
have to try and build back up quality television. Because right now you're like
my kids in that drawer back there that is a George just full of wrestlers.
That is the same thing that Tony Kahan is doing right now, where
he is just collecting him and saying, Hey, you're awesome. I like
you, but you know what, I'm gonna take you and I'm gonna throw
you in this little drawer over here and keep you until I need you again.
Keep sounds like it's like some puppet bastard. I want to say before
because I didn't think about this at any of my points, I think,
along with the talent, one thing that has heard AW was also the multiple
shows because I feel that I agree Sean Rossappas said this guy listen to the
show. He said this multiple times where I think people wanted another company.
They didn't want another wrestling universe. And to be like you have Dynamite,
rampage and collision. I wonder if we lived in a world where it was
just Dynamite, what the numbers would be. If it's like that's your one
place you can see all the AW guys and like you said, gals,
and like you said, they have so many people on the roster. You
can't do that because it's like you can't fit all that into two hours and
it and I also get too if WB comes to you and say, hey,
we're gonna pay you to do an additional show, you don't say no,
right because that you can sign people like that. But I do agree
that even if it's not firing, maybe yeah, let you know, I
know people want Jericho, but like unfortunately, like Jericho's not gonna go anywhere
till he wants to go somewhere, you know, like there's some people that
he will stick with, so for me, that's another thing of like the
multiple shows, because I will only tune in a Rampage and Collision, Clision
more so. But Collision is just tough because it's on Saturdays and if there's
one family event something that's it, I can't do that. And even with
Friday sometimes it's it's tough, and I feel like Rampage recently they've made it
very much like the Sunday night heat Show. This week was different because after
uh Dynamite, so they stacked and there's like that great woman street fight and
you know, sky Blue was popping off and everything. But I think multiple
shows heard it. I think I did think some of the drama heard it
a little bit, and I think there was a lot of mixing around.
The backstage politics did become more interesting than the front screen politics. But I
think I don't know if they can get back to the one million mark.
And that's the thing I don't think they can. I don't think they can
pete with WWE now because I think WWE is like doing good quality shows again.
I think if wdie ever dips, or like I said, if like
Cody LUs, if something big happens again, that's where I could say okay,
aw's right there to like take the scraps and like if you need someone
here, you go. And they have a lot of stars over there.
I think just what they need even more than the stars. So I think
it gives them a little boost. But they just need like six months of
solid, good television of matches and that'll get that buzz going again as far
as people tuning back want to see what it's gonna be, because I think
stars they'll give you like a month and then people might tune out or be
like, oh, I'm just gonna check out the match here and there.
So I think this year and the next year are very important. I do
think the TV deal is important because I think if they get off a big
network like WB that could be trouble for them. If they end up in
some place like TEENA used to go, where it's like your CAP's five K
and you don't get like you don't want I don't want to be like some
network where it's like I've never heard of this station here, Like it's different
Cana. I watch on Fight TV, but in the States it's like you're
not gonna go to USA, You're not going to Netflix, Fox, is
done with wrestling after SmackDown because they did not WW did. They said we're
gonna get this numbers and they never got those numbers. So I don't know
what else is out there, really, Like I don't think CBS is getting
into like the wrestling business, NBC as USA. It's like there's like not
really any yeah, like and I guess you could like I don't agree with
everything Eric Bischoff said, but he did make a good point that he would
launch aw's just strictly a streaming show. Now. The tough thing is you
wouldn't have got a lot of those media TV rights. But so that's the
thing. They just need solid television and they need to like they also just
need to follow up on characters because I think David, you will realize this
where they're like, hook, this is not the first time he's got hot,
Like he got hot like last year and he was just off TV for
weeks and weeks and weeks, same thing as Orange Cassi. He was hot,
he lost that title. Where has he been since he lost the title?
He's like on rampages being to take to you. Like That's probably my
biggest critique of AW is someone will get really high hot and Tony will strike
with them and then they they're gone for a while, and then you don't
have that chance to keep building up that momentum. I think with Swerve right
now they're doing a good job. I think with who else is out there
that I'm trying to think of, someone like Hook they have been recently because
he's got the momentum back and they got that going on, and yeah,
I think they just need to focus on some of those just keeping people around.
Like well if people are saying like they formed the Bang Bang Scissor Gang
to fight the Undisputed Kingdom and then they never fought against them at all and
then they just broke up and big drops again and I was somebody eye it
was a big, big pop when they formed and everything, like people were
like, oh is this cool? And that's all you do? You had
the first the Undisputed Kingdom or whatever they lose and then they break up because
that right, they don't get along like simple one month storytelling. And I
will fully admit I thought people were way too hard and the Devil Reveal the
Night off just like, oh, just Adam Cole and these jobs, like
there's been so many factions like look at fucking Judgment Day was like Dawn a
stereo and JD like, but it's all about how you use them right,
And that's where same thing. These guys could have been the Besneys, but
Wardlow he already just fucking lost his first world title shots, it's like that's
gone. The tag team guys like Tavin and Bennett like they're fin like they
like it was all after and I will always give them credit because it sucked
that Cole the NMGF got hurt right away. It was shit timing all round.
So they're probably a better version of the story, but they definitely have
dropped the ball there. I agree for Survivor series, yeah, there's a
universe and Punky the Devil would have been huge and aw used to be known
for its long term storytelling, and that is something that they have definitely been
dropping the ball on. Like it used to be a thing where like you
could look back and like, oh man, that was set up for months.
But again, that was like a whole year's storyline for him getting that
title. Where they started as a team, they did the double term where
hanging was the heeling, like it was all these layers and they definitely are
missing some of those aspects like you're saying, and now they just have so
many people that had just become so convoluted, I know, like Santana or
Tease. That's one of the reasons why Mike Santana just left. And I
like him as a wrestler, but he basically said they didn't use them when
they got hot. I mean, they should have hell Tag Team Golden that
company because they were rocking and rolling at that time, but they only ended
up relegated as henchmen in different factions. And then you've got all these other
wrestlers who are just there, we need to do something with you, but
it doesn't they don't have any meaningful storylines. When MJF does returned, I
mean, that's one thing that people have to look forward to, because you
know MJF is going to produce quality TV with himself either on the mic or
in the ring, keys going there, like he always gonna call him like
Billy goat shit and everything like that. It's just like that's I will agree
one thing with aw fan base. It's the Daniel Bryant quote from years ago.
Fickle. Like I've told about this, like people just they turned on
Cody so quick and half that stuff, and even myself, I was like,
oh, Cody's making some mistakes and that can't like oh no, those
were some Tony Kahn moves. And it's just like everybody was soap pissed and
they went down and he became this big star save as MJFF, Like everybody
won this dude at the fucking title and they turned them bayface. He didn't
even want to turn heel. The first time he came back, it was
pitched of like, hey, we should turn in bayface. We were cheering
for He's like, I don't know, and then they did it, and
it's like, well, he's taking up to it, Like he's just like
he's doing the same shit he was doing when you liked him. Like it's
just like this whole all the tweets I see about MJFR, like he was
WWE light, he was bringing ww to AW, he ruined twenty twenty three.
He's the worst title hole there, that's right. It's like, I
don't think that was just MGF. That was like multiple storylines and AW.
And I don't think it's bad to be like not you don't want to be
WW light you can have sometimes that entertainment portu because I think David you can
remember this. I feel like the first year AW it was like rare to
get in ring promos and that was always if it wasn't Cody Rhodes, I
was always bombed. I was like, I still want to hear people do
like promo battles and have storytell like you can't just be a wrestling show and
it's tough. Like I think it's good for them to do the more hardcore
matches, but I do think sometimes they do too much because if you don't
like that stuff, like last Wednesday they did the equid match and the street
fight. You're seeing spikes going to a guy nuts, you're getting seeing barb
wire, you're seeing thumbtacks like that does like on National TV right away make
people go like, oh, like, I don't know if I want to
watch. I think that's better to be saved for a one off or pay
per views. I think pay reviews the perfect place to do that. TV.
It's like you will even those at least like one hardcore match like every
because it isn't like the title with hook like the FTW rules or whatever,
like those are always sometimes it's a I don't understand what those rules are,
but it always you need to make it a special event again, and the
hardcore matches are not special event. And like, if you know Moxley is
going to be on TV, you know you're about to see blood, like
you need to that part. You can scale it down. You don't have
to go full nineteen ninety nine up in this piece like you can. You
can rein it in a little bit. Let your wrestling speak for itself.
Add in some storytelling. One need to be like they went a little bit
too far. They went from one or two promos every week and then everything
else was covered on being the leader on the internet somewhere, some other internet
show that they would create at the time to build up their shows to.
Now you have just so much going on, Like again, the wrestling is
hurting from it. There's too much talking and it doesn't always make sense.
And another thing, too much going on before I asked s Buzz for his
assessments. As you start watching, there is way too many titles. There
is a like the AW World Title, take Team Title, two Women's title,
the Continental, the ft W, the tn T, the UH there's
one other one I feel like I'm the international like that's and then everything with
a ring of honor flowing into that's. I think that, Yeah, I
think that people were not there is a crossover audience, but I myself had
not been watching r H at that present time. So for me, who
was not ready to take on another restling brand of like three AW shows,
I'm getting back into WW to have the ROH titles For me, that was
actually a big let down because I just think that muddy the waters and it
makes your titles feel less important in the show. So I think they need
to stop doing that stat or they just need to do like a mega show
and just like do a whole undisputed and like on his foot, tag team
trios, put them all together if you want to. Even with the look
of the r OH, like all the AW stuff is all gold and then
all the r H stuff is all silver, it's second place. It's H
and that's what r r H is their NXT. Tony's not gonna say it,
but it is the like, hey, we don't have anything for you,
go down there. But that's sometimes tough too, because I think like
it sucks when I get WW guys coming in it's great. But when there's
homegrown people like top flight and they're over there stuff, it's just like or
Athena. You don't see her. She's not like I was excited for them
to be on AW, not r H, and I'm not on our on
our club, I don't like like I will every once in a while,
but I just that is another thing of like, at first I thought it
was good. It's a good thing for him to buy our H says that
library, but now having the other brand I think has been kind. It's
almost like you should like give it. If they had the streaming service where
you could get like the package, the RH plus AW package, I think
it'd make more sense to see the titles more like itself. And that's so
yeah, Sam says RHS and every scene on AW, I think for the
most part, I would be fine, like the odd time, but the
frequency not. But Sam saying for the show quality of you, I think
it's been the best in the for the six months. For the moment,
I kind of agree with that. I think they've been doing good t rings
wise, it's hard to move the needle. Casuing wrestling fans seem to be
fume far in between feels like Damond Lee should not be rolling start stars start
to finish. They've shifted away from a lot of fringe twent which is good,
leave that for a collision and yeah, I think even though collision is
tough because you don't want to leave it dying on the vine. But so
I suppose I know you'd like maybe see you dalt here and there. I
know he asked me about the Texas Chainsaw match and stuff like that. But
after sting that was like, what was the I think the first time I
actually like looked at like a W was like you sent me like I think
you would like this. You send me the Tony Storm, like timeless Tony
Storm. Yeah, And I thought, you know, it's like you're like
that. And I think I definitely saw like some matches at that whatever her
most recent match was at that point, like looked it up. And there's
a thing where people will shoot on MGF for being two w W Tony Storm
time like timeless, people saying like I've seen people saying like timeless Tony Storm
character ruined Tony Storm. Yeah, And that's a narrative, right, and
that's what it has been. Oh, she can't wrestle anymore, which I
agree that she can't as well that she can't wrestle. She's wrestling matches in
a different style, so she's not doing that like hard Japan indie style,
but like it's on purpose. I think at times she should break it out,
but that's what happens. Everyone loved Timeless and now they're starting to be
like oh man like and fine, I always on her and see her going
to w W and just because like that is a gimmick that WWE, I
think are salavating the Yet I don't know if she'll go back because she that
was like I had. I was playing to UK twenty four and I had
like the custom Tony Storm that's like that the first one that like popped up
to my dad like, oh who's that? Who's that wrestler? Like that?
That seems interesting And I think that she had a bad experience the first
go around, but like WW is just gonna be like that's one. I
didn't have her in my aw W town swap, but that's one think about
the wrestlming entrance. You could give Timeless Tony Storm, and that's I mean,
aw fans piss like be fickle piss on her, make her turn away,
and then you're gonna lose her. You're gonna lose like something that's actually
like could be have some crossover potential. But so you said, Tomas swy
Storm, So what has been your thoughts since like you kind of started seeing
there and then you watch the sting stuff and you've been dipping one. It's
definitely been more like background stuff. Besides like a few matches that I've watched
hostly. Yeah, Like I don't I don't see anyone saying that the matches
are bad. Obviously they're all pretty good, like to like really great.
Uh, definitely, I I agree with what people say, like the stories,
it's either like there's there's like not much story or you're like just jumping
into something that you feel like you need to have a lot more context too,
like, oh, these people knew each other, like they had a
match fifteen years ago and that's why they did this as this match they do
a lot of and I think that is one thing I will greet. They
do a lot of telling you, hey, this is Okada. He is
one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. But like they I think they
still need to like for him and other people build up to Like let's say
you've never seen this person in your life. You can't just have them walk
in the send and be like, oh, their established character, established wrestler.
Like they should be telling that to everybody, because there's people that don't
watch New Japan or indies and stuff. So and also with the thing of
like bringing the fans and stuff, I do agree with with people say,
like a lot of people who are excited for Okada and Osprey already watch AW.
That's true. Yeah, And also with them too specifically since they've been
on a w like multiple times before, like them signing isn't like as huge
of a deal as if they were, like they've like if O kinda had
never been on AW before and they just signed him and now he's like this
big deal. I think it'd be bigger deal. It's like a guest star
going to like a star now on the show. Ye. That's where like
Mercedes be cause and that's where like again, wrestling fans are fickle because like
she there was a good Gate. It wasn't as big last time, but
like good Gate and then her say, segments draw ratings and of course they
got like the eight hundred K, so the meme becomes, oh, look,
she can't draw anything, even though you look at her segments over millions,
like clearly you show okay, like the when she debuted, there's like
an interest in her. So that's the thing where it's like that's one where
first time there has a following. But we'll see because I still think like
unless you're getting like the Rock Roman R like unless you're getting top tier,
like I think people moved the needle for a little bit, and that's all
about the booking and the stories, and I think that's something that like was
seeing punk out that they screwed up, but I think they they almost took
too much time of him wrestling a lot of like here's some random not ram
guy, but here's a guy that's just gonna wrestle right where there's so many
matches that we missed out on, and that's definitely like they gotta they gotta.
And I think they've been doing good recently, like the past few Dynamites,
they're preving good matches and like you said, like that's at least aw
it's like the wrestling show where you know you're gonna get quality matches almost all
the time. But I've seen people say I think like Collision is like or
collision or Rampay. I haven't watched those yet really, but I forget what
fun people say. It's like pretty much like an exhibition show, like like
these two don't really have a story, but they're just gonna have a great
match. Oh yeah, I think they kind of both jumped away rampage.
I think that's rampage because they'll just throw on and even for myself, they'll
throw on like people from in the Mexico territory that I have no idea who
they are. It's gonna have CMLL invasion or what. I think they even
went like they had like, uh, what's the name, like Blackpool because
they went to like Mexico. Yeah, they had some match at one of
their shows, like because they had like a storyline that they like invaded,
like Collision or something. It's the David's point two where like I like seeing
someone's tell but they have like the show and like it's weird because they all
have the shared roster. But then there's also like show specific storyline like the
whole like Sarria's brother. It's like a Rampage exclusive story, like I don't
think he's been on any other show. And that's where I am too,
Like, if you're gonna keep these three shows in the future, we'll see
what happens after the wb TV deal. But then do the roster split make
it that I know, Hey, I can only see sashamone here. I
only say will here because that's the thing, and people too have said that
with like like exit surveys for like aw and the tickets and stuff is like,
yeah, some people say, like do you want to like like I
go, like buy tickets to see like Dark and Show. Yeah, but
Adam Copan's on the poster when it's like coming to you, and then when
you get there, he's not there. And of course, like cards subject
to change, but that's where it's like, it would be nice to know,
split him up evenly and figure that out and chance of knowing who you're
gonna see because obviously, yeah, if you're just going like anyone on the
roster could show up, like there's like four hundred people. Yeah, I'd
like to know. Samely, when I went to Wrestle Dream, I didn't
know who I was going to get for the collision I saw, and it
was great that end up happening. But and like to circle back when to
David's point where I like seeing the other promotions and stuff, but I wish
it was just more Forbidden Door time because again, sure Blackpoole Combuck Club versus
CML, like that's great now, but there is so many people on AW.
I'd still rather see the people on that roster first because there is so
many missing. But then they get sent to ROH and that's where they are,
so yeah, yeah, it go back to making special events. Special
events. Forbidden Door used to be a special thing and now it's just like
hey, random guy on a Saturday and I is coming over and same thing
with like a lot of the wrestlers. Because I've been to an AW live
show and this was back when Seampunk was still there, so I got the
experience of watching seampunk. He didn't wrestle him and Eddie Kingston had a veriable
altercation fall by a physical one, but and it was still cool. But
like the poster and all the advertisements it had Cody roadse on air. Well,
the only time I saw Cody was back when he was working his Fuego
two gimmick when he was under the mask doing dark segments and things like that,
So I didn't get the whole Cody experience. Jericho was on the poster,
I wanted to sing his theme. No, he came out for commentary,
got no music or anything else. Like Justin Roberts got a bigger intro
for him coming out with his Golden Girls Titan Tron than Chris Jericho that evening.
But it's just one of those things. Everything was just so muddy that
just didn't know. So make it a big deal again, and if you
kind of split those rosters a little bit during the same punk come back after
his injury, they did kind of split it. Yeah, where he had
his colliders over here. The people who watch those, yeah, you know,
that's a good thing, and I think they should kind of get a
little bit back into that, especially if you're going to keep forcing Ring of
Honor down our throats. Well, this is a very good time to leave
your main champion on your main show, which is Dynamite. You've got all
these other championships, this is your time when you can take your TNT championship,
or if you want to bring a little bit more Ring of Honor,
put those on those other shows. Make Dynamite your flagship, just like Raw
as the flagship, and then yeah, if they get bumped off the networks,
you can change those TVSTND to Dynamite Championship in Rampaid Championship, whatever you
want to call them. I hope if that ever happens, they do some
sort of like unification between like Continental that and that, and just like it's
all one but not the fucking triple crown where you're wearing like, no,
it's one title because like even now this continent just got established and Tony's like,
yeah, I think with Okada winning it, I think that's gonna be
like our number two title. And it's like what does that say about like
Orange cast to like have like this big run or all these things, right
like and I'm fine because it caught it like six the title. Yeah,
yeah, I'm so down for like the rumors that they want to make him
the monster heel perfect, like the dude couldn't be a heel in Japan for
the past ten years. People liked him too much. He's had like this
work he's doing is great, like this overconfidence just like pompous asshole, like
like that's working. I think he's called him by his full name. Yeah,
Like it's so like I see the potential there. It's just some cleanup.
And that's where I hope that he's bringing on like that writer and there's
been other people, so I don't think. And again that's where people I
hate it. They're so doom and gloom, Like even the Wimbley Show,
they've sold fifty thousand tickets, Like that's not a dude, Like you can
be lower than and have less success than you did in previous years, but
that's not Oh man, aw's in trouble. Like they're moving stuff even the
past. Like last month it was like they're having those really poor two K
two K gates and like last two weeks with like an eight K and a
six K. So it all depends one thing I agree with other people for
everyone. They got to stop doing is I didn't know they were in Toronto
this week and then WWE was in Toronto this weekend. They got to stop
that shit. They got to pick locations that ww's not gonna be it because
you know, you will have people saying I'm gonna save my money and go
see WW because it's a big stuff. Because I say this in the discord
all the time. It was like three years ago before covid WW for Elimination
Chamber was doing like two for two tickets by two and get two free.
So it's like and now they're hot. Shit, there's some everything out so
it always goes in ways and that's why it's like they were like the ratings
is concerning for sure, but we'll have to see how like what it sticks
around. But like even the attendance, it all depends. It's gonna go
up. But like Wimley's doing good that the what was it the revolution was
sixteen K Like they still have having big high spots. They just gotta continually
have those. So I was looking, I don't think there's really been any
like AW live shows like near near me, Like I was just googling to
see. I think there's only been like two sort of like sort of in
like the Miami sort of type area. I think there was like one of
like the Battle of the Belts at some point. Oh yeah, and then
they have like some collision like last year or something like that. You gotta
go there and where you're seeing Punk Shirt next time in town, gotta go
in there. Well, I think it's probably since they go to Jacksonville so
much. That's like their Florida headquarters, so I guess they don't go lower
than that that much. They probably go to Orlando a bunch of times.
But so that spells hit me with there, what would be the best swap?
You know, TK they sit you down, they say you're gonna be
the person that's gonna swap the two. One person gets one town, one
gets the other. Who are you swapping for? I was my my initial
pick that I have just cause because people would say like they want AJ Styles
and in the in a w but then also seeing you know, Kenny Omeggae
says he wants to wrestle iliat Dragon Off and Seth Rollins and John Cena.
So so my swap would be Kenny Omega for free J Styles. That's that's
a tough. That's tough because I hate that because I'd want them to interact,
so they go elsewhere. But Kenny, like I think it's tough.
I think he's gonna be like Sting when he gets there. It's gonna like
he's gonna be past his prime. But there is so much for Kenny.
Do I know when they were gonna sign him. They're like had all these
plans. They're like, oh, if he's signed, w it's like they're
gonna be like the list was what was? It was like Roman brock Seth
and somebody else. They had like this apparently eternal list of like who they're
gonna put him with. But I'd love to see it. But and Aj
would fit. That's a good pick there, but man, them missing each
other again, that'd be yeah. And then but then also you you got
me now with the Tony Storm. I'm trying to think who you'd like trade
for Tony Starr, who's like of equal value there, Like I'm trying to
think of somebody there that's like a great wrestler that they don't have like doing
like Shane Basler. I was gonna say Shana, but like I don't know
the stock value on the trade. Yeah, I feel like, man like
skill level but not like popularity. I'd say, Yeah, I'm trying to
think who's like like, like, it's hard. It might have to be
it might be like a two to two for one, depending on things go.
If you're trying to go for value and then let's say Monet is there
for while you get Bailey and you like that Bailey Monette connection. That could
get some people really excited. And maybe that's the thing where you know,
she doesn't made it a wrestle Mania. She's falling down the cart again.
Well, and I think in AW shehould be like she'd be like top three
right away Bailey. So I think you can make a Bailey Tony Storm trade
there. Yeah, you get that. And you can introduce the women's tag
titles in AW, just like they did in WW, but this time they
get the run they deserve and stuff. So yeah, what about you,
David, who's a swamping Macon, I'm off top. I'm sending Ricochet to
AW. That's not a bad one. Yeah, he's just kind of dwindling
there. In WW, he's dwindling. He used to have incredible matches with
will Ospray, and I mean, you know from my Twitter, I am
a huge, huge fan of will Ospray, the Billy Goat, like that
is my guy. So I would have to immediately send him off going to
WWE would be probably Ricky Starks hasn't been a while. He's friends with Cody,
so you know he's not going to fly that much. I had thought
for a while about Kenny. My only problem with Kenny is I would be
afraid that Kenny could wind up in the way of the OC where they just
it's all, hey, remember we were Bullet Club ag oh god, yeah,
no, yea even the way like AJ is in a good spot right
now, but he could end up in those spots where it's like you're gonna
have a good match with somebody and put them over right. Yeah. So
I that is my only fear with Kenny going to WW is they're going to
rely too much on the Hey, remember when we were bullet club type deal,
And I mean bullet Club is not what it used to be. And
they have like seventeen splinter groups in New Japan. Now everything's going I feel
like every every every promotion, every clip from a different promotion. I see
they have like some Bullet Club like oh wow, yeah there's the war Dogs.
You've got Bullet Club properly torture still a part of it. It's they're
so many. They have gone way past when the NWL watered themselves down.
Bullet Club has just been hey, we have license, we have the names,
let's print some shirts and print some money. So yeah, I would
ricocheta aw just so I can get those massive wrestling matches while he still has
the realistic one like I could see and Ricky starks he's going to WW like
when that contracts up, he's gonna try his best. So all right,
So I'm dipping in the Bull Club fandom because I aw this is where I
do believe to an extent. I think it's an ergant thing to say.
But when they re signed, Mac Jackson was like, we're the main characters
of AW right, and I think there is some truth there, and I
think aw like, other than when Punk did sign, he brought up to
the old their highest has been like when Bult Trump Bolt Club drama happens.
Arguably, maybe the best story other than m Jeff and Punk was hang Man
and Kenny when they did that whole Eat It but and we never got Kenny
and Cody again. That was like there was a I'm so mad there was
a story there of why was he not with the elite anymore? Like it's
such like there's tons of stuff there, like they're all friends of real life.
But that's the best. That's why I'm taking Finn ballad and he's becoming
Prince Prince Devid or ferralv What do you want to say because I stay in
the discord where like man, he was looking like there was that list,
what did you share? ESP was like from years ago his articles like who,
Yeah, it was an official WWE list from like definitely, I don't
remember what year it was, but it was like, yeah, ten superstars
who can be the next to John Cena slash face of WWE, and everyone
knows what happens where you know they introduced the first ever Universal Championship at seth
Ron's versus Finn Balor. He wins, it breaks his collarbone, has to
give it up the next night. And from that moment on Vince McMahon,
who's just was fucking just so biased. You can have some people got injured,
Roman Reigns get injured a bunch of people, that's fine, but if
one guy he was a little smaller, gets injured, like Dolph Alway's injury
prone, we can't we can't do anything with him. He's injury prone.
Finn's like never really been hugely injured again since that moment, like he's had
injuries, but like one colorable and he was hot, he like he had
the seth Rollins, Cody Rhoads entrance before they did the whole like Donna,
like he had it the demon gimmick. And I feel like the same way
you're talking about Kenny and David if you were going to AW or WW,
that's why it's happened to Finn now, like he was hot for a second
and like he has a good spaw in the judgment day. But I just
feel like he could be a top guy and now he's just like he's just
a guy. So I think in AW you could do there's a good story
there. Him and Kenny Omega have had three matches, Kenny Omega has never
beat him at all. And you have Prince Devitt, who's the original leader
of the Bolt Club versus the guy who arguably Kenny and the Eleak got it
to like the peak, right, they start a whole new company. He
got the bucks, you got a caught on. I think there's tons of
stuff. And then, as I've bitched about it already in this podcast and
on Twitter on Discord, I'm gonna say, I don't know how fair of
a trade it is, but maybe might view this way. I'm gonna say,
you send MGFF over there, you get you may you bring him back.
He does the devil storyline with Adam Cole, Adam Cole beats him,
he does the whole aw kissing and whatnot. I think he is gonna he's
gonna read the room and he has said he'll go where the money is and
Tony Kahn will throw the money at him. But I feel like if they
get him, that's WW oh yeah absolutely. I just think now with the
I can feel already it feels much like with Cody Rhodes near that end when
people were just not accepting him. I feel like mgff's gonna he's gonna get
their return pop. It's gonna be there for a bit. But the problem
is they've paid them in a way where he has to kind of come back
as a baby face, and I don't think that's the route. So I
feel people will start to turn on him. And I think there's just a
he's a young guy. There's a pluthora of stories. There's gonna be tons
of people in w that don't know him. So yeah, he's gonna have
to like tone down his style. He swears a lot and everything, but
like mgff's a smart really promo skilled guy. I don't think he's gonna have
any issue, and everyone every three months forgets that MGF can actually wrestle.
He get put on some of the best matches in the world. But they
just think he's like the mizz and it's like no man like this guy can
go against anybody. So that's the swamp. I would make that MJF for
finn ballor maybe finn ballor has like a little cash attached to it in the
trade too, like the you know, like in like GMO, that's what
you can do. But like, yeah, and I do think when yeah,
two hundred K. I think when MGF is up, he will go
to WW. I think he's reading. I just think that the way because
I hate because he's probably just resigned. Now the rumors, yeah he did
extension the rumors twenty twenty seven. He actually sound like I think if it's
on Netflix, maybe he'll be able to store a little Yeah. Maybe the
rumor was he re signed in two thousand and twenty two or whatever, right,
and he's saying, Kevin, you're saying, but MGF going to W
won't be the same. I agree to an extent because this is the way
I feel about seampunk. I love that Seampunk's back in WWE, but you
can always tell there's like a little shack long. He can't be as for
the eyes, Chico the eyes. But in AW for better or for worse,
he got to go out there and he could do whatever the fuck you
want because Tony Kahan was, you know, such a mark for him that
Tony like ceampunk, aw maybe other than r h Tampunk is like the best
seampunk because he had nothing to hold, like just could go and MGF would
have a little bit of that. But I think he can. I think
he can adapt. I think he can do a good job. I think
he can be a top heel there because that's the thing too. WW doesn't
need no baby faces. They got Set, they got Cody, they got
j they got Sammy. There's other people coming up from NXT, like Trick
Williams, like MJF. He's preferred. I think it's it's it's it's easier
to get or like they definitely have a lot of big baby faces now that
they've like they've been building up for a while exactly. You don't need to
just put someone in and just tell them I'm like, this is gonna be
your new You're gonna love this guy and talk about the story right away.
Imagine like even if Cody was still champed, that's a story right there.
There's tons of MGF stuff. So yeah, and yeah, Roman's gonna go
away for a bit, so that would be that would be my swap and
uh, we'll see what happens. So okay, So what we're gonna do
here s pubs. I'm gonna bring the wheel for the randomis. But our
last topic today, can you explain the points system? So we're doing a
fantasy draft works the same way as football any other sport, where we're gonna
draft eleven. We'll get to the eleventh, one and a second, but
we're gonna draft ten based on who we think are gonna do the best.
That sub's gonna give you all the point values and he will reveal what our
eleventh pick is. So we're gonna have eleven picks overall. We will market
for it's two weeks away from WrestleMania, so when we do this again next
year, it'll be two weeks away from WrestleMania forty one. That's when we'll
reveal winner and we'll redraft. Will go ahead, start the points at WrestleMania.
That's just to get start off with the bots at the start. Yeah,
I can go through here what the rules are, So I made this
all there's not many ways to lose points. It's usually all like cumulative,
and for all these you would get whatever the highest point value is. So
if one thing would give you one point and one thing gives you three points,
and you do both of them, you get the three points. Not
that way, it's just easier for the calculation of all the points and stuff
Excel sheet working overtime. Yeah, okay, So if you have no match
like on it's just zero points, no one point for just being in a
match, like if you if you're in a match and lose, that's that's
one point because you made your your appearance. Two points for winning that match,
three points if it's a successful title defense. Four points if it's a
win and a stipulation match. So I guess i'd say pretty much whatever stipulation
tables. Yeah, that's a specialty match. Yeah, sure, five points
for winning a title thinking, I don't know if I might ad just that
value. I'm not sure. Are you guys good with five points for winning
a title? Yeah? I think five for a win, three for defense,
because I think a title win is usually like it's a bigger deal,
right because you're like you're getting it for the for you're a guy or gal,
they're right. And then for all these points, it's double points if
it's on a pl So if you're winning a title on a PLI, that's
ten points. Perfect. Then so here are two big ones. So if
you win the Rumble or money in the bank, that's fifty points. Oh
yeah, and it's fifty just because money in the back bank. Technically you
could win it outside of a pl like if you've check for it. But
really this is one hundred points because it's you're you're doing it at the PLA.
And then the other the other special one for the draft is the fifty
point legend return slash w W debut, which is like, so if you
drafted Ricky yeah here, yeah, yeah, if you drafted him and he
had and he had a match, you need to have a match. So
it's not like say you had drafted like CM Punk like and he didn't have
a match until wrestle Mania, Like you wouldn't get point like he made his
appearance, but you wouldn't get a point until he's wrestled the match. They
got to wrestle. It can't be like Jim Duggan coming out to say,
oh and the like they gotta be substantial character. Yeah yeah, I like
that. Yeah, Okay, Then for someone's where you can lose points,
So minus four for losing a title and so that'd be minus a on PLEE
and then negative twenty five or minus fifty if it's a failed cash in or
failed rumble title shot, So like if Bailey lost or Cody lost, that's
minus fifty finish the story. And then so this one also five points for
main inventing a weekly show, and then plus twenty for main eventing a PL.
And that's outside of the double that's not like the just fixed value like
five if it's a weekly show, twenty if it's the PL. This is
counting to be sure, because you didn't say that it's raw smacked in or
Pli's right, it's not yeah no NXT. Yeah, So if you drafted
like bron Breaker and he's getting wins every week on on XT, you're not
getting unless it's on on main lost there, So let's like be a future
value draft if you think about it that way, and then I guess I
just put in there. We could change things up at like Big five,
so i'd be including like money in the bank if you need. I don't
know how many I want to put to like be able to change, but
that'd be like for more for like injury reasons, not as in like I
don't like this person anymore. Somebody tore their acl they're out for ten months,
yeah, or free age, like they got released and they're yeah doing
anything right, Yeah, I like those points. It's like so yeah,
so rumble Mania, may you would just be new draft, I guess.
But Money in the Bank SummerSlam I put in there, but I don't actually
because that's sort of close to to I think maybe just do you have a
series on there. Yeah, okay, you could just draw. You could
drop SummerSlam because money and Bank could be fun because right before because we could
see who's in the ladder match. Yeah, okay, so I'll take out
so just rumble Mania. We're gonna do the draft anyway, Money in the
Bank Survivor series, so sort of like four spots there and then so the
eleventh pick here is your Java of the year. So for this one.
It's you draft who your job of the year is. So you got two
points per loss and minus one per win, and then all these points are
added to your total at the end of the season. And if you pick
out the most losses, that's an extra twenty points on ties. I could
win it your job record win you if it's a close one. Yeah,
because yeah, it depends. I wanted to put minus one for each win,
just so like just a funny. That's good. Yeah, and I
supposed to has Also each episode, we will update you guys on the rankings.
Every episode, we'll pull it up and see who's doing what. So
all right, I'm going Oh and also I've got another pick here for bonus
points. I don't really know how many points, but this would just be
only applyed to WrestleMania. But we've got how many super Kicks. Will the
ustos hit each other at their WrestleMania I'll just read here I have I have
fifteen, travel says twelve and dude as seventeen, so I don't know.
I'll just say like ten extra points for that for that to the super Kicks.
It's the Superkick Party. Yeah, okay, so pull it up we're
gonna use the GV wheel to see who's going first and whatnot. Are we
going to do a straight order draft or a snake draft? I'm fine either
way. I think just straight order. If it's just three, let's do
this so we'll see. This will be who's going first, gets the first
pick of the draft. Oh keep going, Oh my goodness, getting it.
So we'll see, we'll move him, we'll see he gets the second
place. Now between David myself. Okay, so I'm getting second place there,
So David, you got third place. There's got to pick the bones.
But does it not? You're not least there. So okay, I'll
get my notes, so I'll do the draft my list here draft. Okay,
so Espa, you get the first draft pick for the official w draft.
Who are you picking? It's a pretty clear obvious number one pick.
I'm picking Cody right. Oh my god, that's why I just won number
once. I get my boy. But here he is, he's picking that,
all right. That's tough. This one's tough for me because she doesn't
always wrestle too much. But as I said, she's gonna be booked as
a monster. Maybe a little bit. I'm gonna pick Riya Ripley. You
know I'm gonna go. That Rakish effect got me going on. I think
she's a great top draft pick, and I think, like I said,
the pay per views, I don't see her losing many. I think there's
lots of retained going on. I think there's a good chance she could mad
an event. Well not this year, but in the future. So even
winning a rumble, I don't know if she lives a title like she she's
a high profile person, so barring injury, I think she will be around
quite a bit. So that's what I'm going I didn't even think of the
Cody main event, Like that's a that's like forty double main event of WrestleMania.
That's pretty good. Yeah, let's hope you lose that losing like two
hundred points on the last year. Okay, David, who is your number
one pick? Okay? My number one is going to be Gunther because I
think that they're going to keep him strong. He is going to lose one
major match, but than that, I think that they're going to rebuild him
and rebuild him strong after that. Hey, goother for David. Okay,
that's Bob's number two for my number two pick, I'm gonna go with uh.
I think I could go with Randy Orton Randy or because I feel like
he has like like just SmackDown main event, like he's fighting Waller at Theory
every week. He has like pl matches, like he's squashing solo in like
three minutes on SmackDown, and I feel like that's consistent points. Like I
feel like he's having matches even if it's a tag match, like he's in
there and he's gonna be points every week. Okay, I'm gonna pick this
man. As I've said before, I really want to give me a change,
but I think he's always gonna be around, get some wins. He's
main event in WrestleMania. I'm picking Seth Rons. I refuse to use the
F word. I hate the fucking name. I hate I hate it.
I'm ready for it to move on. But I'm picking Seth Wrongs. I
think he'll always be in the picture. I think he has a good chance
of beating Drew and defending. He's main event in WrestleMania. I don't gotta
worry about like a WrestleMania or roll rumble, loss cash and anything like that.
So yeah, I'll pick seth Rons for number two, David, I
am gonna go with the est of w W. So she uh, they
keep it strong man, they they they keep her strong. And then of
course she's got the WrestleMania Street going and everything else, like can't can't look
past good Biancabella role. I agree they love her there, So all right,
s Bubbs number three. For number three, I'm gonna go with I'll
pick Bailey because I feel like after this title win, which I'm hoping is
true, but I feel like it is like definitely gonna have at least a
bunch of wins holding the title, so that's points with the title, and
even if she loses it, I think she's still gonna be winning matches.
I don't think she loses it and she's back to being like zero in sixty
seven or whatever. And I feel like she's consistently on TV, Like even
when she was losing matches, she was on TV every single week having a
match, so that would have been points. So all right, this one
might be a risk. This could be what wins it for me, lose
this for me, But I'm gonna go with Jade Cargill. I ain't hoping
they're gonna give her a nice run of two months of just squashing jobbers every
week, just she's getta win after win after win. I'm hoping they're just
gonna copy aw and give her like a year undefeated streak, like there's a
chance or there's a chance she doesn't get to the system and she's around for
a bit and then she just goes disappearing, she goes the NXT. I
don't know, but I'm picking Jade Cargill for my third pick. I said,
I didn't know if I want to get her this high, but I
think with her getting announced for SmackDown this week, that kind of changed things
for me. I was like, Okay, I think they have her plan
doing something for Mania so and I think she'll be winning at least. So
I'm going with Jade. David, you're number three. I am going to
go with Damien Priest. Gotta go with that money in the bankholder you worried
about if it's a failed cash in that start of the year, that first
night wrestled Mania, he cashes a tag match, gets rock bottom and it's
over for him. I I think he is too much of a triple h
guy to have a failed cash hit, okay, and I'm going to hope
that that's what he has gone for him. I've been talking to Mini Triple
H right here, I've got corporate Triple Ah. She's been giving me tips
and he says, go with this guy, Damien. And I also do
think if he loses that he's like dead in the water. I feel like
that'sn't that. That's something that really hurt theory as well, was doing the
cash and on like the US title, like that just made you look like
a bows Like Damian already looks like a boso sometimes. But at least if
he wins the title, it's like, well, it all paid off and
he pooked the right time. Right. If he's waited this long and he
loses d Ow like, it's it's over. Damian Priest as a character,
I think, But I think I think he could get the win. I
think, but we'll find out. But David has he has the money bank
Coller so s Bubbs, who you picking on? Now? You guys better
against him, but I was the one who do I think he's doing it?
And Sun interviews, he says he wants to be a true workers champion,
not like whoever he's facing sets. So I'm picking Drew McIntyre. Oh
okay, okay, what if you're worried about that contract. You know,
a couple months from now, he's just gone. He's Drew gall fighting fighting
Kenny. As long as it's not as long as it's not right after a
p l E. If I see, if I see the rumors start going,
I might have to just soft him out at least hang on the buy
of the bank subs to say, at least give me, give me June.
So but I don't know. I feel like he's winning. I feel
like he's winning at wrestling it. So I'm taking Drew McIntyre. Okay,
this is one we talked about, and I'm thinking long term, especially with
our draft here. Really like we'll have a few weeks out after the Rumble
to get some points. But really like, I feel the Rumble is gonna
be one of the last big hauls for us, like decide who the winner
is. So that's why you know, I didn't know, oh it was
her certain hometown, but I'm supposed to be that information. So I think
it's Tiffany time is a Tiffy time, or Tivvy time. I don't watch
it Tiffy time. I gotta go with there is an Embarbie yourself. I'm
gonna pick Tiffany Stratt. I think she's gonna win a lot. I think
they'll be She's has opportunity for money in the bank, to get that pink
briefcase. There's opportunities for rumble like I think, whatever it is, the
fans like her. She's very talented, she's young. Barring get injury again
or some controversy, I think she's gonna get the rocket trap to her.
So I think she will win one of those Big three title rumble or the
money in the bank. And I don't think she's gonna fail like a cash
and e anything that that would happen, even the rumble that when I'm a
little if you're on, because you could always lose the you know, all
plans change and you can always lose it mania, but that's next to your
draft. I don't gotta worry about her winning a rumble. I think she
could win the rumble. So I'm picking Tiffany Stratton. Number four. David
your fourth. Oh, I had someone in mind, but now I kind
of want to switch it. Up and go with the man Becky Lane,
Oh good one. Yeah, always gonna get the points there. I mean,
same thing. She she is consistent. You know that they're gonna put
her on the pls. You know that she's gonna get her wins throughout the
week. Like, she doesn't lose unless it's either a major passing off to
look make somebody look strong or there are some shenanigans a foot, but just
week to week. She's not your losing type. No, I agree,
all right, s Bubbs. Who you got for your halfway pick, well
almost halfway pick for the true superstars for the jobbers, I think I'm gonna
go with Sammy's Nane. I feel like he's consistently on TV and he gets
like even if he doesn't win like the big time, he gets like pushes
together there. So like he'll have like a streak of beating like doing the
Gauntlet match and before that he was faced saying Knakamura and different people. So
I feel like that's I'm going for a lot of them, just being like
I want people who are on TV like every week. Well, speaking of
that, That's why I'm gonna pick ju So because it feels like he's going
to wrestle Drew McIntyre like ten thousand more times to lose them all. But
I feel like at eventually lose in the main event, James, they could
always circle back. He could be the guy to be good the right a
backlash, Like I think he was a good option to remember those rumors that
he was, and then all of a sudden he wasn't, so I completely
forgot, Like Jay's so just thoughing past my list, I don't know.
Oh yeah, I got the big oose there, So yeah, I'm picking
j I just like towo lot of times, like he's like always, like
not always, but he is in the raw main event a lot, just
doing something, so I think he's a good, uh kind of workhorse guy.
So I'm going with Jayu. So, David, you're halfway pick.
I am gonna go with Ko Kevin Owens. The man shows up week and
is always with something, so he's gonna be my point getter, Like he
may not be winning at all, but you're gonna be my solid pick.
Okay, that's Bubbs number six. I need points in the tag division,
which I'm going with Johnny Gargano. I feel like consistent TV d I y
match is always challenging for the belts, or if not, they're having they're
like the tag guys, like, well there's another tag guys, but I'm
going with them too, sure Johnny Gargana, Okay, I'm gonna go with
braun Breaker. I think he's gonna get a big push. I see a
lot of wins in his potential future, even like a United States I see
title run which Gnther drops it because I think I don't think he'll get hot
potatoes. But I don't think you'll get as many long runs as you did
with Gunther. I think they'll do a couple of shorter ones and uh even
bro maybe could find himself in a tag team. I just think he's gonna
win a lot, at least maybe even one of the big stuff. Yeah,
I don't know. We uh who knows, but uh, even Rumble,
I'm not sure come Rumble time. You know. I'm not gonna say
this now because I pick Bron, like we should have the points for eliminations,
but maybe next year will make that rule. Because I picked Broun,
I feel like he's gonna be the guy, Like, look, the most
eliminations this year, the rumble bron breaker, but uh yeah, going with
the breaker there number six for you nice? All right? For my number
six, I am going to go with l A. Knight. I feel
like he would be a nice just consistent getter for me. Yeah, he's
gonna be on TV, He's gonna get those wins. This might even be
the year that they put a championship on him, So I've got that going
for me. Yeah, I'm gonna go with l A. Knight. He's
already been on let's see it is into March. He's already had twenty matches
this year, so like he's consistent. Okay, I like it. S
Bub's whate number? Are we on seven? Lucky number seven? So you
got four more of your non jobbers, I think. And this one wasn't
even on my list, but it just came to me thinking of future maybe
pushes based on story. I think I'm gonna go and this is also tossible
tag points. I'm going with Montese Ford. Oh okay. I feel like
they've been sort of building in like some of these social media segments, like
dissent between him and h Angelo Dawkins. So I feel like if they end
up splitting, that could be like they're fighting each other every week for like
three months straight. Yeah, so that's why I'm going Manta, And I
hope, you know, maybe US title in the future or something like that.
Uh So Yeah, and I do like him a lot, so I'm
hoping for good year for him. Yeah. They keep teasing the singles run,
but they keep like missing out. They gotta pull that trigger now because
I think he's I think he's ready. I don't know what happens the Dawkins
after, but Ford is he's ready to be a top guy. I think
so. Ah, because she wrestles a lot, and I think we talked
about her potentially have some big stories down the line. Who knows what could
happen. I'm gonna pick liv Morgan. I feel like she's always around.
She's back from injuries, from hoping it's not gonna screw me and like get
re injured. But I think with the real stuff she could and even the
past couple weeks in Raw she's been a main vocal point. So and she
could also find herself in a tag team too. Unfortunately, right like that
always kinda happen. So go lift for number seven. All right, I'm
going back and forth between two people, and one I know it's gonna get
me some matches, another one I think is gonna get me some wins.
So I'm gonna go with Santos Escobar. Okay. He has been a mainstay
on TV with Algatto, Bell Pantasmo, and I think there you're gonna do
some more, especially with androde coming in more stuff with ray on his downturn,
so we're gonna get a little bit more out of them. Okay,
bumps on going someone who I know it's guaranteed that they're gonna be winning matches
once they're back. So I'm going with Charlotte Flair. Oh yeah, good
one. How long until she gets back though? How long does she's Yeah?
Cold though, you know that's the risk I'm taking, But I think
it's a good future investment pick, especially since this goes until next WrestleMania.
It's not just till the end of the year. So for me, yeah,
I so good. Wait goes to it? What's the end point?
I guess like before like this time next year? Yeah yeah, so he
won't have for a next resume in Lockdown for sure, but Bill to make
Charlotte look strong, Yeah, exactly, I'm surprised when David said La Knight
people didn't you know you guys didn't get the restume in counterpart and we go
AJ Styles, you just got back. I feel like he'll wrestle a lot,
he'll get some wins. I feel like he'll get some wins after he
loses to La Night. I could see a secondary title run in his future.
He said, Oh, I gotta win the w Championship one more and
more time. I don't know if that's gonna happen, but eight just always
as a chance to get hot again. I never count him out. And
he's always very talented in the ring, so and I just think he's a
guy that will be a lot of smack down a raw main events when he's
around. So going with AJ Styles, well, I might as well just
keep in the Bullet Club fatally and go Finn balor Finn Dollar. There we
go the Prince alright, s Bubbs, two more picks left. Okay,
So I'm gonna go another person who has matches all the time. He usually
doesn't win them all the time, but definitely has I'm gonna go to Tominnick
Mysterio. There you go, oh boy, Okay, hmmm. I have
a couple, but none that I'm like uber confident on because now we're getting
into like the we're also getting to the people like I don't really want to
draft, you know it, just like i just don't even want them on
my roster because I'm like not the biggest fan. But this is gonna be
one of those I'm gonna I'm gonna pick Austin theory. I'm not an Austin
theory guy. I think I've said this desk ups before where everyone's saying,
like, oh, the uber baby face awesome theory coming. He is the
twenty eleven version of John Morrison where everyone fucking told me he was gonna be
the biggest deal to and I was in there all time being like my WWS
have a forums page, and my biggest post on there ever was Sean Morrison
is overrated because I got everyone tell me, no, he's the next Shawn
Michaels, He's gonna be huge at DA DA And what happened to him?
Nothing, he changed his name. And they're very talented. Not saying there's
not talented, but I just don't see it. But he's a guy that's
gonna be wrestling a lot, like he's always just in matches most of the
time, and maybe when his babyface took it there, maybe maybe I get
proven wrong and he does get uber hot as a babyface and I got him.
So I'll go with theory, just going with a workhorse right now.
He when I mentioned earlier, well, I was doing Santo Sisco and I
said that there was someone else I was thinking he was. That's someone else.
So yeah, no, I definitely get where that was kind of my
thinking with him as well, Like he's gonna be on TV. He's gonna
get your points. I don't know if he's gonna win or not, but
he's gonna be on TV get you points exactly. And speaking of TV,
I kind of have to oh with my man our truth. He is the
constant. I'm gonna be there and he's gonna be involved in some way,
shape or form. That's not bad. He might be taking champs too at
the end of Mania. So as your final main roster non job or pick,
who are you picking? I'm trying to think, do I go with
the heart pick or do I go with with someone I think is probably gonna
win one on that person? But I think I need to do it,
just because I think this our future miss money in the bank. So I'm
gonna go with Chelsea Green. Oh nice. There's a lot up swinging,
a lot of downswing because she could eat a lot of losses too, but
I feel like that's that's being on TV. Yeah, and I don't know,
maybe I don't know if the tag titles ever get. I think she's
had I think she had like multiple reigns with the same rain just because her
partner has gotten injured like four separate times. So I don't know if that
count is winning a new championship. But we'll discuss when we got yes,
sir, But yeah, I'm going with Chelsea Gren. Okay, Yeah,
you know what I'm gonna do. I'm sorry, David, you had the
counterpart, but I'm gonna go with the miz. The same thing you're talking
about. Mister shows Up. The Miss is the president of I Show Up.
Rare gets injured. He will do a lot of Miss TV and sometimes
he could disappear, but I know he will wrestle. I think quite a
bit when he is around, and he's gonna wrestle a guy. A bunch
of times that people have seen the match over and over he and be heal
or a face awesome truth could maybe win the titles, give me some points
and go on like a nice little run. So I'll go with the miss.
I had a lot of other people kind of liking that, but I'm
gonna go with him. My computer auto correct it to the mid which is
but I'm picking the Miz, So yeah, that that was gonna be my
next one. So he just moved down my list then, and go with
my man, former w W champion Kobe Kingston. Okay, I think he's
gonna have a good year. I think he is going to have a solid
year. And I think that if they know that Biggie will be coming back,
not necessarily to wrestle, but just to be seen more than they might
get another run with the tag Team Belts. I thought about picking him.
I thought about picking Biggie for like a surprise appear and stuff, But just
because it's been back and forth, I hope, I hope that's right.
So all right, s Bubs, your jobber of the year, who's gonna
get your most loss is going I think I'm gonna have to now I'm thinking
if I wanna, if I want to do it because nah, this this
is a heart pick for John. I'm going to Zawa, damn it.
That's oh man. Yeah, so I think right now they're like on an
x T. They they're doing, but they've had n XT runs before that
lasted like two weeks something. They went back to me roster. But yeah,
so Zowa, you know he can he can be there with otis and
his tag matches. Well, Chad Gable is getting his singles push. They
can just be losing every week. But that was one on my on my
main list, Chad Gable. I was it was between Chelsea Green and Chad
Gable for my last pick, but then I don't know. I just want
to have Chelsea Green all the host. I wish Dana brook was still around
because my number one with a bullet, Dana Brookly been great. Who's the
loser? I want to that is just like the perfect I'm gonna because I
have a part of the take. They'll be just God's here to Zella pick.
That was the first pot. That was a good one. Oh man,
I don't know how much this guy even wrestles anymore, because you want
them on TV a lot losing every week. Yeah, I know, and
that's where it's like, this is tough one. So I think I'm gonna
hi Yi, there's a lot of options, and there's a lot of people
in nx T. I know that doesn't count, but just they're back and
forth. Anything Baron Corban would have been great, but I don't know when
he's coming back burns like ever since they've been on this tag run, like
I don't know when it's the last time Baron Corman has lost. Yeah,
okay, So I think I'm gonna go with This might be a risky pick
because it's gonna be a tag team, but I feel like they lose a
lot. So I'm gonna go with Elton Prince part of Pretty Badly over there,
because I know they're gonna lose this week coming up to Ko and Randy.
I know that's not part of the drafted still, I just feel like
they're gonna be any time a new tag teams around put him up there.
Watch this will be the year they get hot and they win up So I
want a solo one by just feel technically, if your points go into negatives,
like they're winning more than losses, I would still add that to your
final total. Yeah, it's just crazy. So yeah I will I'll take
Prince so Alton Prince, all right, I am gonna go with the man
who is just there to collect a paycheck and go surfing on the weekends.
Mister Shinskag knock Amura, he is in it, but he ain't winning it.
That's sad. Knocking Moura is here and I love Knockamore, I really
do. But you can tell yo. I'm here. I'm showing up.
You want me the job, all job, you want me to pushed when
they were trying to get Okata and now he's back in the Knockamore verse.
All right, So the lists here s buzz. He has Cody Rhodes,
Randy Orten Bailey, Drew McIntyre, Sammy Zain, Johnny Gargano, Montese Ford,
Charlotte Flair, Dolmastio, Chelsea Green, and the jobber pick of Tozawa.
Try Myself has Rhea Ripley, Seth Rowans, Jade Cargill, Tiffany Stradden
and Jay Usso Brown Breaker Live Morgan aj Styles, Awesome Theory, the Miz
and Elton Prince as my jobber pick. And finally, David has Gnther Bianca
bell Air, Damian Priest, Becky Lynch, Kevin Owens, l A Knight,
Santos Escobar, Finn Balor, Our Truth, Covid Kingston, and Knockamora
in the Jober pick. That's a tough one as fault. Just like when
I used to do this draft with my sister and my now wife hates seeing
my list, like I like you, but I was like, man,
like you feel so unike. I felt like I felt like yours was better
than like reading this list, I'm thinking the same thing, like these ones
are better than mine. Oh man, well that's what's gonnappen. But Chelsea
Green's gonna save me. I just not say, yeah, she's gonna that's
a one hundred point at money in the bank. So when likely unless we
do have respect him, But I don't think. I think, Like I
said, the WrestleMania will have Saturday, Sunday and then the Monday, and
we'll probably try and do a po podcast on the Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday,
so we'll likely have those three nights. That'll be our first draft update
to see the points, so that'll be our first go around. And yeah,
that'll also I think the majority of the show will just be breaking down
if there's something big happening, and w will talk about that, but majority
of episode two the game will probably be just breaking down WrestleMania and the raw
after because you know, three nights of massive events happening, so look out
for that. And yeah, just subscribe to the feed, look at the
Twitter feed. Well, of course, give you updates when we go live,
but if you miss it live, it'll be on there the next day.
So I thank you gentlemen for joining me. This was a fun one,
went longer than I expected, but had a lot of things together the
way, and now we will be We're off the races, so get ready
and it's gonna be lots of fun and I'm excited to win this draft of
man fucking Someone's gonna cost me, you know, So thank you Sam.
But yes, we'll be back next month, in a couple of weeks really,
and we'll be boring see you then. Bye,
