WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.519
<v Speaker 1>This is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to

2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the WWE podcast show.

3
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:26.480
<v Speaker 2>The one that everybody wants me god fore sixteen s WE.

4
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Your ass is my You're gonna acknowledge me.

5
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>And welcome everybody to the ww podcast. We're going to

6
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 2>be doing a dual show here today as the mail

7
00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Bag and the official preview prediction show for War Games,

8
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>which is tomorrow night. Here we Go. Survivor series is here.

9
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>The event that we saw forth coming six months ago

10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:52.600
<v Speaker 2>with the main event of Bloodline. Bloodline is here. Now

11
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.520
<v Speaker 2>the question is what are the implications what happens? Seth

12
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>get involved, does the Rock get involved? Do neither get involved?

13
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>I would think that Seth is more likely than the Rock,

14
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>but the Rock is still probable to show up. We'll

15
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>see if that actually takes place and materializes. But we

16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.719
<v Speaker 2>are going to, as I said, start with the emails

17
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and then work our way to the predictions for tomorrow night.

18
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to get yourself involved in a discord,

19

21
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.319
<v Speaker 2>during the show. During the ple is always a lot

22
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.439
<v Speaker 2>of fun to do, and that's available to you if

32
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>That's probably the best part is you don't have to

33
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 2>listen to ads, but about every ten minutes we have

34
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.599
<v Speaker 2>ads on the show, and that goes away with your

35
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Patreon subscriptions. So let's talk to the patroon the patrons

36
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 2>of the show, and we will start with Freeman. He says,

37
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.280
<v Speaker 2>So wargames looks to be rather uninteresting, So let's cast

38
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>out a bit further. Who are you expecting to win

39
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>at the Rumble this year? Last time? This time last year,

40
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>it was clear Cody and Bailey were heavy favorites. But

41
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm honestly stumped this year. Well, I mean that's a

42
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.639
<v Speaker 2>heck of a question. I mean, who do I think

43
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>could actually win? I mean, I think there's a good

44
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.400
<v Speaker 2>chance John seen It does. He's the current betting favorite.

45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.039
<v Speaker 2>He's the current betting favorite. I know you're mentioning here

46
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>that you think Solo or Jacob Fatu will win the Mens,

47
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>but you have no idea on the women. Rhea maybe

48
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>just would feel lame. If Charlotte makes a return, I'd

49
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 2>give it to her, but I don't expect anybody, so

50
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe Bianca, what are your thoughts? Yes, So again, John

51
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.479
<v Speaker 2>Cena is a pretty heavy favorite looking at the current

52
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.120
<v Speaker 2>betting odds, which often do play out. You also have

53
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 2>the rock CM Punk Roman Reigns and Gunther and Seth Rollins,

54
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Jay Usso as their top five or six. There's dark

55
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 2>horses like Damian Priest, like Drew McIntyre, like Kevin Owens,

56
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.520
<v Speaker 2>like even Stone Cold Steam. Austin is a twenty five

57
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 2>to one favorite right now, which is just I mean,

58
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>it's just not gonna happen, Stole Cold winning the Rumbles,

59
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>It's not happening. I mean, Austin, I think, will finally

60
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>show up this year and give us what we deserve.

61
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Which is a stunner to the rock that we missed

62
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.479
<v Speaker 2>out on last year because of money, and that's really

63
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>the only reason he did not. I know, he gave

64
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>us the reason that it was something with his wife

65
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 2>and he had prior commitments, which is a bunch of nonsense.

66
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>It's clearly just money and he didn't want to look

67
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.719
<v Speaker 2>like a jerk, and I understand that. But so as

68
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>far as the women go, I mean, that's a tough one. Bianca.

69
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>I think Is is in the conversation, Charlotte's in the

70
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>conversation Jade. I don't think Is. There's not a chance

71
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>she'll she'll make an impact if she's back from injury.

72
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think Jade is a serious contender to win.

73
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>She's nowhere near clearly ready to be in a singles role.

74
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.720
<v Speaker 2>But the women are tough. The women are tough. Outside

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of maybe an NXT call up, the women are not easy.

76
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Rhea would be very boring. As good as good as

77
00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>she is and as much of a fan favorite she is,

78
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 2>she's not exciting from a Royal Rumble perspective. You have

79
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany Stratton, but she's the money, the bank winner. She

80
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 2>hasn't cashed in yet, so I don't think there's a

81
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 2>chance she'll win. So it's a tough one. The women

82
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 2>are very difficult, and no one really stands out to you.

83
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Charlotte is in my mind, probably the favorite if she

84
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 2>ever decides to return. Also, something I've been pondering, how

85
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.319
<v Speaker 2>are the NXT call ups doing? From the draft this year?

86
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Tiffany and Brawn seems to be a big success, dragon

87
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Off was coming along great until his injury, and Dragonly

88
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:03.199
<v Speaker 2>seems to be getting steady TV time as Mellow. But

89
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 2>what happened with Kia James Blair Davenport. You can honestly

90
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.240
<v Speaker 2>forget they exist, let alone got called up. What was

91
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>the point of calling them up and to do nothing

92
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 2>with them? What are your thoughts on all the call ups? Well,

93
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 2>speaking to the ones that you pointed out here specifically, Yeah,

94
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean tiff and Braun clearly the standouts, you know,

95
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 2>and there's always going to be standouts. This is not

96
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:35.399
<v Speaker 2>really a surprise. This is actually normal because out of

97
00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>a class of call ups, you're only going to have

98
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>a select few that are going to be deemed success. Now,

99
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>we can't really write the book off on anybody else yet,

100
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>it's only been a year about not even, so there's

101
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>time to really make a determination on the others. But

102
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Tiff and Braun, no doubt about it, as of right now,

103
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 2>are the favorites of you know, who's been the most

104
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:05.399
<v Speaker 2>successful with the NXT call ups. Dragonof did make an impact.

105
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>He I had to remember his His promos and pre

106
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:13.959
<v Speaker 2>taped interviews are very effective. And Dragon Lee does to

107
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 2>be seem to be getting TV time, which is a positive.

108
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>But on the same side of the coin here, he's

109
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:23.120
<v Speaker 2>also not getting any MIC time. He's not getting any

110
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 2>time to develop a character. He's just living in the

111
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 2>shadow of kind of Ray Mysterio and the LWO. So

112
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 2>it's not really kind of a a attractive differentiating factor

113
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.680
<v Speaker 2>for Dragon or for Dragon Lee. He's always again going

114
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.639
<v Speaker 2>to be Ray Mysterio Light just I think that's unfortunately

115
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be where he lives. He's good in the ring,

116
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think anybody has an emotional attachment to

117
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Dragon Lee. Well you know what you're gonna get with him,

118
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.680
<v Speaker 2>fun match, exciting match, Luca style match, but there's no

119
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>real connection with his character. He doesn't really have a

120
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>character that's just you know, kind of the the nature

121
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>of his character right now, which is not having one

122
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:11.319
<v Speaker 2>other than being a Raymisterio you know Version two point

123
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:16.240
<v Speaker 2>zero and Kira James Blair Davenport. Yet you're right, I mean,

124
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>people forgot they even exist. I mean, and also not

125
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 2>everybody's going to have a plan for them when they

126
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.600
<v Speaker 2>come up, even for top talent. Sometimes that get called up,

127
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:28.600
<v Speaker 2>they say, I don't really know what the plan is,

128
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>We're just doing this. So it's not a shock to

129
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>learn that talent that aren't featured that much don't have

130
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a plan. WW doesn't have a plan for them. It's

131
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 2>the way they do business a lot of times, for

132
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>better or worse. So yeah, this is not a shock,

133
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>though I'm not sitting here super disappointed because that's normal.

134
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 2>This is normal where you have a couple great standouts,

135
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>some in the middle that have TV time but no

136
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>really defining characteristics, and then a few at the bottom

137
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 2>that you just go, oh, yeah, I forgot they exist.

138
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>So thanks Freeman. All right, let's go to DJ and

139
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 2>he says what was once three matches has now become

140
00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a five match. Pl I guess the saying is true,

141
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.639
<v Speaker 2>better late than never. I just don't understand why it

142
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>took so long to book the final two matches. Plus

143
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't ever remember if WWE ever had a three

144
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.399
<v Speaker 2>match pl under the Triple H regime. I don't think

145
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>he has. I think five is about where he's lived

146
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>before I get to the predictions. Interesting to note that

147
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 2>there's no Women's Championship match for Raw and SmackDown as

148
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 2>all the champions, including one half of the women's tag

149
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 2>team champions, are involved in this very odd booking of

150
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the women's War Games match. In my opinion, another pl

151
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:42.960
<v Speaker 2>that does not have the Wyatt Six being featured. For

152
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:44.879
<v Speaker 2>the past few weeks, the White Six and the Final

153
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>Testament have been feuding, and yet it seems like the

154
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Wide Six have only been exclusive to Raw and never

155
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 2>show up at a pl That's true. THEE Six, I've

156
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 2>been a bit concerned about them for several weeks now,

157
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.159
<v Speaker 2>and even during their debut while it was exciting, and

158
00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:05.000
<v Speaker 2>they're they're really living off the legacy of Bray Wyatt

159
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 2>and what he left. That kind of is where you know,

160
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:14.919
<v Speaker 2>their strongest point is is they're living off Bray Wyatt

161
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 2>and they try to give them identities. The VHS tapes

162
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:19.960
<v Speaker 2>helped and then they fell off the radar for a while,

163
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>and you know, they're not even included a lot of

164
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>times on the Highlights of Raw if you just watch

165
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.799
<v Speaker 2>the Highlights of Raw, or if you watch the Hulu

166
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>version whatever, a lot of times they're not there, and

167
00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>if you don't see them, they're out of sight, out

168
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 2>of mind. They're also not really doing a whole lot

169
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.559
<v Speaker 2>of anything. They're feuding with the Final Testament, which helps

170
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.559
<v Speaker 2>the Final Testament more than it helps the Wied Six.

171
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 2>But until the Six work with someone like the Bloodline,

172
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 2>which could happen and may even get hinted at at

173
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the Royal Rumble, which is my guess when these you know,

174
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 2>these individuals mix it up in a kind of co

175
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 2>branded match, and that's when we may get a tease,

176
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>and it could be that the Wye Six are going

177
00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.120
<v Speaker 2>to take on Solo's bloodline at WrestleMania. If you have

178
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>The Rock taking on Cody or The Rock taking on Roman,

179
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>that's filled up. You don't need to have any version

180
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 2>of the of Solo's bloodline involved with Roman reigns or

181
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 2>jay Us, So it's possible. So that's how I imagine this happening.

182
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Is the wyat six and the Bloodline eventually mix it

183
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 2>up the New blood Line all right, number three, and

184
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>yet again there are no Tag Team Championship matches on

185
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 2>a pl e. It seems like WrestleMania is the only

186
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:35.279
<v Speaker 2>plee that tag team wrestling for the Championship will make

187
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 2>an appearance. Well, that's kind of part for the course,

188
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>as w WE continues to treat the Tag Team Championships,

189
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 2>especially the women, as a oh, yeah, we have that belts, Yeah,

190
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:48.919
<v Speaker 2>we have that championship over here. I forgot about that.

191
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of the way that they approach the Tag

192
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 2>Team Championship. So the tag team divisions, I should say,

193
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.639
<v Speaker 2>really as a whole, no match for tag any match

194
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't have to do with the Tag Team Championship

195
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 2>is very rarely more than ten minutes. And we saw

196
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>this especially play out this past week, where it was

197
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.559
<v Speaker 2>very much a you know, every tag team match that

198
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.440
<v Speaker 2>there was was ten minutes or less, not a minute more.

199
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>And that's the way that they've treated tag teams generally,

200
00:11:17.240 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes much worse. Tag team divisions and professional wrestling

201
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>in the world of w WE have never been a priority,

202
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.879
<v Speaker 2>and it's not really a shock that they're not on

203
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:30.559
<v Speaker 2>a PL. I mean you'll also see again no women's match,

204
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 2>no women's championship match either. But that's also a side

205
00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:41.879
<v Speaker 2>effect of Triple H's structuring of ples, which is fewer matches,

206
00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:46.200
<v Speaker 2>longer matches. But that's you know again, the benefit of

207
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that is the stories that are worthy of ples are

208
00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 2>usually better. There's fewer of them, which means, as fans,

209
00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.639
<v Speaker 2>we get to see stories play out in a match

210
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.000
<v Speaker 2>that you otherwise wouldn't get in a I have to six, seven,

211
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 2>even ten minute match. A lot of these are fifteen minutes, sixteen,

212
00:12:04.960 --> 00:12:08.720
<v Speaker 2>sometimes twenty plus minutes, depending on the event. So there's

213
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 2>really definitely advantages to fewer but longer matches, which has

214
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 2>been definitely Triple ah's philosophy, and actually I would actually

215
00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:23.159
<v Speaker 2>prefer it. Okay, your Survivisories predictions, no Cody, but possible

216
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>SETH appearance. So first Gunther and Priest, you're thinking Gunther

217
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>retains Knight and Shinske you're predicting that La Night wins

218
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.519
<v Speaker 2>due to the match ending in a possible DQ. This

219
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:36.720
<v Speaker 2>is their first matchup, and I don't like the idea

220
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>that Shinske could get pinned easily by La Knight. I

221
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 2>think there's more to this darker version of Shinske that

222
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:45.039
<v Speaker 2>kind of resembles a dark persona of the Great Muda.

223
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I think this feud could go two or three more matches. Okay,

224
00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:54.200
<v Speaker 2>bron Breaker versus Seamus versus Ludwig Kaiser in another, wait

225
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.039
<v Speaker 2>for it, folks, good old fashioned triple threat match. I

226
00:12:57.120 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 2>predict Breaker wins, and of course guys don't get because

227
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>of triple threat. That means that there's no rules, right,

228
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 2>you can use weapons. Somebody has yet to explain why

229
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.919
<v Speaker 2>adding a third person negates the traditional structure of a match.

230
00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:21.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, like the idea that a third person immediately

231
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.519
<v Speaker 2>takes away the rules of no weapons, no foreign objects,

232
00:13:27.720 --> 00:13:30.679
<v Speaker 2>no can If a third person enters the match, low

233
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>blows are legal. How does that work? I know that

234
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>the idea is that you can have How are you

235
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:41.879
<v Speaker 2>going to enforce the rules? What happens you can't have

236
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 2>a DQ in a triple threat? Well, what you do

237
00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 2>is that person gets caught cheating throughout and then it

238
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 2>becomes a one on one. That's it verily simple. If

239
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:57.320
<v Speaker 2>that person decides to use a chair or use a

240
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>for an object or a low blow or whatever, and

241
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 2>they get caught, they're out of the match. You don't

242
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 2>end the match. They're the ones that suffer. But I

243
00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:10.159
<v Speaker 2>don't know why they won't implement that. It's just automatically

244
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:15.679
<v Speaker 2>a no DQ match. All right, Women's Wargames Live, Morgan's

245
00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>team wins. Men's Wargames. You're predicting the og bloodline team wins,

246
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.360
<v Speaker 2>and then the final boss makes it appearance and we

247
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.559
<v Speaker 2>possibly get another cmpunk and seth Rollins confrontation similar to

248
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:29.879
<v Speaker 2>last year's wargames. Yes, it's possible. I will say that,

249
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.600
<v Speaker 2>and I'll leave it that until I get to my predictions,

250
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 2>which are coming up momentarily. So thank you DJ. Let's

251
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.320
<v Speaker 2>talk to another I believe it's another patron. I got

252
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>to dig into the community tab here of our patreon side,

253
00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>and let's talk to Charlie. He says, what's going on, everyone,

254
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.200
<v Speaker 2>It's Charlie from Milwaukee.

255
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Help.

256
00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>Everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My dad surprised me with

257
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.120
<v Speaker 2>tickets to Survivors series. We just landed in Vancouver early

258
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.240
<v Speaker 2>this morning. I think it's a long time. I think

259
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 2>it's long, but I'm gonna ask anyway if we're able

260
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 2>to do a serious review. Yeah. Hey, it's I cannot

261
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.799
<v Speaker 2>come up with a solid schedule, so it's just something

262
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 2>that probably won't happen because I don't want to commit

263
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.360
<v Speaker 2>to a time and then change it four times. So

264
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 2>first of all, I would absolutely love your feedback. If

265
00:15:21.559 --> 00:15:24.279
<v Speaker 2>you want to email me through here or on my

266
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.200
<v Speaker 2>regular email, that's fine. I'd love to hear your in

267
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 2>person you know, notes that you want to get across

268
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:33.919
<v Speaker 2>to us that are listeners. I'd love to hear what

269
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.320
<v Speaker 2>those are. But I'm jealous. So you're going to Vancouver,

270
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.519
<v Speaker 2>so you just landed. Damn, Charlie, you can't do this.

271
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:45.960
<v Speaker 2>You're making us all, you know, very much jealous. I

272
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.799
<v Speaker 2>think because somebody's surprising with tickets. I mean, that's that's

273
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.120
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. You're at a Big four event, my friend.

274
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:55.440
<v Speaker 2>Big things happen here, and you're gonna get either a

275
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:59.879
<v Speaker 2>seth rollins interference, you're gonna get a rock appearance. I

276
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.840
<v Speaker 2>think the rock appearance is fifty to fifty and but

277
00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:06.159
<v Speaker 2>there's a solid chance you could see the rock in person,

278
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.519
<v Speaker 2>which is really damn cool. And yeah, I'd love to

279
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:12.639
<v Speaker 2>hear your in person feedback, even send a voice melon

280
00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>all right, Jeff, Jeff T says La Knight wins and

281
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 2>keeps the title. Bron Breaker wins, Gunther wins, Rhea's team wins,

282
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully a Tiffany cash in, and the main event

283
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the new bloodline I feel is gonna win and then

284
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:30.799
<v Speaker 2>see him Punk and Hayman turn Ooh. As much as

285
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>we don't want it to, I do think Hayman is

286
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>up to something, whether it's Punk and him turning, or

287
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:38.759
<v Speaker 2>he is turning and joining solo. I don't see the

288
00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:41.399
<v Speaker 2>Rock coming out because he is running around doing Moana

289
00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 2>two promos and filming the live action film. We'll see.

290
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 2>Hope you and everyone had a great Thanksgiving and it's

291
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.080
<v Speaker 2>time to be a wrestling fancy everybody in the discord chat.

292
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah that thank you for reminding me hope everyone had

293
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:56.759
<v Speaker 2>a good Thanksgiving. I should have led that at the

294
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the show, but I forgot him. I'm just

295
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>kind of Thanksgiving doubt. I'm ready ready to move on,

296
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:08.359
<v Speaker 2>but that is you know, that's something here, Jeff, that

297
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 2>you bring up that I I have have. I have

298
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.119
<v Speaker 2>my issues with believing. I'm struggling with the possibility that

299
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 2>it could happen that Cmpunk and Hayman turn first of all,

300
00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>and it needs to be continued to be said, is

301
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Cmpunk is not a raw is on raw, He's not

302
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 2>a SmackDown star, Yet no one cares because the story

303
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.119
<v Speaker 2>warrants that Sampunk comes in, and yet no one is

304
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>saying anything. That GM is not saying anything. He should

305
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.559
<v Speaker 2>be the first one to say something. The GM is

306
00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 2>the one in charge of that brand. So if you

307
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.519
<v Speaker 2>have stars on your brand that should not be there,

308
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.440
<v Speaker 2>that should I mean, that's like a you know, that'd

309
00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.400
<v Speaker 2>be like the first task at hand here is make

310
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:52.599
<v Speaker 2>sure people that aren't there, that are there that shouldn't

311
00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>be get booted or at least explain why they are there.

312
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:58.839
<v Speaker 2>But they don't do it because they don't care, and

313
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.799
<v Speaker 2>they that think the fans don't care. I'm on the fringe,

314
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:04.440
<v Speaker 2>but I'll continue to say it because it continues to

315
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 2>be warranted to be said. That said, the idea that

316
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Punk and Hayman turn and the shirt that Hayman was

317
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:15.079
<v Speaker 2>wearing with the red shirt War that he wore as

318
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 2>upon his return reflected the shirt that Solo war. Is

319
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.119
<v Speaker 2>there a bit of coherence? There is there a connection, yes,

320
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.599
<v Speaker 2>but does it mean anything? I hope not. I don't

321
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.440
<v Speaker 2>want it? And then what's gonna happen? Brocola's I mean, like,

322
00:18:28.519 --> 00:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>what what happens here? What's the what's the end game? Like?

323
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 2>Say you're right, Jeff right, Say say Punk and Hayman turn, Okay, surprise,

324
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>you know he turns. Then what is the biggest question?

325
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:45.720
<v Speaker 2>What do you do from there? He turning? Just to turn?

326
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:49.319
<v Speaker 2>And then what you know, what is the end game?

327
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 2>Is Punk going to remain on SmackDown? What about seth Rollins?

328
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Does he suddenly defect the smack Down? Because Seeampunk turned,

329
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 2>Because if he doesn't, how you're gonna get to seth

330
00:18:58.240 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Rollins in Punk? I guess he could come back to

331
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 2>Raw because again, no brand rules when they don't want them.

332
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:10.279
<v Speaker 2>It's just I don't see the benefit in it. The

333
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Rock makes much more sense to appear because he's actually

334
00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:15.880
<v Speaker 2>involved in the story. He even made an appearance at

335
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Bad Blood Stood there didn't do much. Set a bunch

336
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>of stuff backstage that was in a you know, a

337
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.759
<v Speaker 2>post later on W's YouTube channel, and there was a

338
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 2>lot you can dissect in that kind of rant that

339
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.559
<v Speaker 2>he went on backstage. But outside of that, there's you know,

340
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't make much sense for Punk to turn. He's

341
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.119
<v Speaker 2>clearly and should be clearly focused on seth rollins. I

342
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>don't need Punk turning and then all of a sudden,

343
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Punk and Roman are going at it. But that's that's

344
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.880
<v Speaker 2>not the story right now now. Punk will, I think,

345
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:46.279
<v Speaker 2>eventually turn, and I think Punk and Roman will eventually

346
00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 2>have a program in twenty twenty five, but I don't

347
00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:52.799
<v Speaker 2>think right now, there's no there's no room for it,

348
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 2>there's no Roman told. This story with the Rock is complete,

349
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>and Solo and Roman ares are, you know, have settled

350
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:03.799
<v Speaker 2>their differences and clearly the programs have been played out

351
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:05.519
<v Speaker 2>and we're ready to move on. We're not there yet,

352
00:20:05.960 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 2>so Punk would be a total like redirection of the story.

353
00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>It's not again, your idea is not bad, Jeff, it

354
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't make sense right now. It makes sense, makes big,

355
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:21.599
<v Speaker 2>a lot of sense. But in twenty twenty five it

356
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.599
<v Speaker 2>would really just I think, be a big mistake to

357
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:28.319
<v Speaker 2>do that right now, because that's not the story that's

358
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 2>being told. It would muddy the waters unnecessarily. It would

359
00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>be exciting, Yes, it would get clicks, Yes it would

360
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:38.079
<v Speaker 2>get attention and a million views, and yeah it would,

361
00:20:38.240 --> 00:20:40.400
<v Speaker 2>but then fans are gonna sit back and go cool.

362
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:47.000
<v Speaker 2>So like, now, what what are we doing here? That's

363
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 2>my concern. So but thank you, Jeff. I do appreciate

364
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>your your feedback. End. You're not wrong. I just think

365
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:58.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not yet, is how I would phrase it. All right,

366
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:00.799
<v Speaker 2>let's get to I believe one and then we'll get

367
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to my predictions.

368
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:04.400
<v Speaker 3>This is DJ coolesmel Back added again on your mailback

<v Speaker 3>Report coming to life once again from a no disclosed location.

376
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.400
<v Speaker 3>I must mention before we start the show, Happy Thanksgiving

00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:32.960

00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:53.319
<v Speaker 3>of football, and of course this coming Saturday is Survivors

385
00:21:53.400 --> 00:21:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Series War Games. Now let's get to the toy DD

386
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.119
<v Speaker 3>episode of the Joe Hendre Report. As I did mention,

387
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 3>it is all Rosalie to win the Salem, North Carolina

388
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.960
<v Speaker 3>for tena's next pay per view event called teena turning

389
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:09.079
<v Speaker 3>point as Joe Hendry will be included in a sixth

390
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:13.240
<v Speaker 3>way Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl match. Like I did mention last week,

391
00:22:13.480 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 3>the loser, the person that gets pinned ar summitted, must

392
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:20.400
<v Speaker 3>be forced to wear a Turkey suit. Hopefully Joe Hendry

393
00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 3>is not that guy to wear a Turkey suit, and

394
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 3>hopefully he wins the match. But anyway, last week, on

395
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.880
<v Speaker 3>the TV taping of tn par Wrestling, none other than

396
00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:33.119
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry mentions to the crowd that his focus is

397
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 3>still the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, even though he's involved

398
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.599
<v Speaker 3>in this Turkey Bowl match. His focus is still to

399
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 3>get back into the main event to compete against none

400
00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.359
<v Speaker 3>of the nicknameon for the TENA World Heavyweight Championship. He

401
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.559
<v Speaker 3>thanks the fans for a tremendous year, a breakout year,

402
00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:53.319
<v Speaker 3>a year of success that he was featured on WWE

403
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:55.640
<v Speaker 3>and NXT, and of course he was in the main

404
00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 3>event at TEENA Slummiversary for the TENA World Heavyweight Championship.

405
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 3>At all of the trialsations. He's a social media sensation

406
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 3>and everything that people have been saying about how they

407
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 3>believe in Joe Hendry, all the wrestlers that believed in

408
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Joe Hendry. But like I did mention before, he did

409
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.640
<v Speaker 3>say as always that his focus right now is the

410
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Speaker 3>TNA World Heavyweight champions Let's get to what happened outside

411
00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 3>of TNA. As Joe Hendry was in New Jersey, stock Home,

412
00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey. As of course, you know Joe Hendre likes

413
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:29.680
<v Speaker 3>to promote the brand as he goes to different places.

414
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.359
<v Speaker 3>So this past Sunday, November twenty four, at stock Home,

415
00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 3>New Jersey, Joe Hendry did a meet and greet at

416
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.039
<v Speaker 3>the Wrestling Collector. Now would that being said as I

417
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 3>close off this, Joe hendriport Happy Thanksgiving, Remember to believe,

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 3>and most of poorly, most and poorly do this.

421
00:23:55.559 --> 00:24:01.319

<v Speaker 2>for the Joe Hendrew report, as we can follow what

429
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 2>the hell he's doing over there in TNA, and his focus,

430
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>as you said, is the TNA World Heavyweight Championship fighting Nicknammeth.

431
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.079
<v Speaker 2>And that's fine. And uh, you know a lot of

432
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.279
<v Speaker 2>fans WW fans I know don't follow TNA, don't understand

433
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 2>what the hell's going on there, or maybe they just

434
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.079
<v Speaker 2>don't care. It's you know, you're a w W fan

435
00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:41.680
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times you're just loyal to WWE. But uh,

436
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.319
<v Speaker 2>as I say every week, very appreciative that you're able

437
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:46.519
<v Speaker 2>to give us an insight into TNA and maybe it'll

438
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>bring some people over to see what the hell's going

439
00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>on over in TNA. Also, I hope it doesn't have

440
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>to wear the chicken suit like I just I hope

441
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:57.720
<v Speaker 2>that's uh, I hope that's not what happens to uh

442
00:24:58.079 --> 00:25:02.519
<v Speaker 2>to uh Joe Henry. We'll see, but I appreciated GJ

443
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:05.279
<v Speaker 2>and I hope all is well over there and you're

444
00:25:05.319 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 2>safe over there in your undisclosed location. All right, let's

445
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.319
<v Speaker 2>get to my official preview and predictions for the event

446
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 2>here the pl and let's see where I want to start.

447
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna start here with the Wargames match. I'm

448
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 2>gonna start with the women's Wargames match because I don't

449
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>think it's gotten a ton of attention. This is likely

450
00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 2>the match that's going to open the show. I think

451
00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:34.680
<v Speaker 2>it will open the show. It should open the show

452
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>with the Wargames match. Here with the women, Ria Ripley,

453
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:42.200
<v Speaker 2>Bianca Bailey, Naomi and Eosky versus liv Morgan, Ni Jacks,

454
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Raquel Rodriguez, Tippany Stratton and Candaelearet. This match should be

455
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. I think it's a lot of

456
00:25:50.599 --> 00:25:53.519
<v Speaker 2>fans are overlooking it, and it's because the story is

457
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of a I don't want to say boring, but

458
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not that it's boiling boiling point. The folk is

459
00:26:00.519 --> 00:26:03.119
<v Speaker 2>clearly Riha getting her hands on live and it has

460
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:06.559
<v Speaker 2>been for months now. Ria Ripley was back faster from

461
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 2>her injury than anybody thought was possible, and she'll have

462
00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:11.240
<v Speaker 2>her face mask on as she should. I mean, you

463
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.200
<v Speaker 2>break your orbital bone, you gotta keep that damn thing safe.

464
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:17.039
<v Speaker 2>So Rea Ripley getting her hands on Live should be fun.

465
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Ria Ripley going against Nia Jacks, that should be a

466
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of a fun confrontation. Bianca bell Air finally getting

467
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 2>her damn you know, singles roll back at least maybe

468
00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>until Jade comes back, which reporting is conflicting on that

469
00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:34.119
<v Speaker 2>some of her a month, two months, three months or longer.

470
00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I would say probably in time for WrestleMania. Seems to

471
00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>be a safe bet. And if she's back before then wonderful.

472
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 2>But right now, Bianca is I mean, just by the

473
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:48.799
<v Speaker 2>grace of God with a freak injury to Jade, a

474
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 2>single star, so that's good. And right now, Tiffty Stratton

475
00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>and you know, Candice Larray are kind of the back

476
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>end of the the team here that round off to

477
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Live Morgan's side. How do I think this is gonna end?

478
00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Probably with probably with a Rea Ripley team. Victory doesn't

479
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>hurt Live, there's no titles on the line. Bianca Belle

480
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 2>Air back into kind of a singles role, revived, a

481
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:21.039
<v Speaker 2>bit Bailey the final member here joining. I think those

482
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:24.519
<v Speaker 2>three powerhouse women are ready to get a victory. In

483
00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>need of victory, Rhea again coming back from injury. It's

484
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.160
<v Speaker 2>not gonna hurt anybody on Live Morgan's team. It's not

485
00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna do anything. Is it possible Charlotte returns, Yes, yes

486
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:36.759
<v Speaker 2>it is, although I'm not gonna call for it. And

487
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.960
<v Speaker 2>the reason I'm not gonna call for Charlotte returning is

488
00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 2>because I think if I don't call for it, it'll

489
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 2>finally happen. So I don't think it'll happen, and I

490
00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>think Rea Ripley's team gets the victory. All right, Let's

491
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 2>go to the Intercontinental Championship. Braun Breaker versus Seamus versus

492
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Ludwig Kaiser. This one is shaping up to be physical

493
00:27:57.480 --> 00:28:02.799
<v Speaker 2>as hell. I'm really excited for really Kaiser here as

494
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a potential breakout performance. I think this is Kaiser, and

495
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I may be wrong. This may be Kaiser's biggest match

496
00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>of his career on a big four pl e in

497
00:28:13.519 --> 00:28:18.759
<v Speaker 2>a championship match, a very prestigious championship in the IC title.

498
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely a big match for Kaiser, and it's possible that

499
00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Kaiser even comes out of this as the Intercontinental Champion.

500
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:30.559
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I'm part of me wants to pick Kaiser here.

501
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Are they ready to pull the trigger with Kaiser? Do

502
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 2>they feel he's ready? They've been setting him up for

503
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:40.000
<v Speaker 2>several weeks. Now you have Gunther essentially saying, fly, little bird, fly,

504
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:44.400
<v Speaker 2>you'll leave the nest, make your own way. And Seamus,

505
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 2>we know what he is, legacy star, Hall of Famer,

506
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:49.480
<v Speaker 2>not exactly exactly, a guy that's on fire right now

507
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>that fans are dying this year, is a champion again.

508
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:55.400
<v Speaker 2>But bron Breaker kind of just want it back. However,

509
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much more they're going to get

510
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.599
<v Speaker 2>out of his ic run. It seems like perhaps they're

511
00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:04.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna change here to Kaiser and see what he's got

512
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 2>now that they're giving up on Breaker. And I wouldn't

513
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:10.839
<v Speaker 2>by any means, but I think I'm gonna go with Kaiser.

514
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with Kaiser. I know it's not the

515
00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:15.359
<v Speaker 2>favorite here. I think bron Breaker is the favorite. If

516
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>you look at the betting odds, I expect a hell

517
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:19.839
<v Speaker 2>of a physical match. Here's how I think it's gonna end,

518
00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:24.759
<v Speaker 2>though bron Breaker ends up dominating for a while he'll

519
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>probably get the spear on Seamus and Kaiser goes in

520
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:32.799
<v Speaker 2>for the victory. I think Kaiser is going to pin

521
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Seamus for the Intercontinental Championship. Thus bron Breaker can claim

522
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't Pinder submitted as the old you know, the

523
00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>old logic goes. The way to protect the champion if

524
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:44.359
<v Speaker 2>you don't want him to get hurt by a loss,

525
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.720
<v Speaker 2>is to have him not involved in the decision. That's

526
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:48.880
<v Speaker 2>how you're gonna protect Breaker here. I would not be

527
00:29:49.000 --> 00:29:51.839
<v Speaker 2>surprised if Breaker wins, and he is the favorite with

528
00:29:51.880 --> 00:29:55.559
<v Speaker 2>good reason. But Kaiser has been on a roll and

529
00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:57.960
<v Speaker 2>making an impact and Gun through even giving him his

530
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:00.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, his his pledge to go off and do

531
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.039
<v Speaker 2>your own thing. And I think Kaiser could win, and

532
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I think he might win here, and I think I'm

533
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:10.119
<v Speaker 2>gonna take Kaiser all right. On the counterpart to smack

534
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 2>down with La Knight and Shinsky Nakamura for the United

535
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:18.880
<v Speaker 2>the United States Championship. Night and Shinsky, boy, this is

536
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 2>not easy, and I know Knight hasn't had a long

537
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>run yet and Triple H has been a fan of

538
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:29.079
<v Speaker 2>long runs with champions. My instinct is to pick Knight,

539
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think that's still most likely probable, So I'm

540
00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:37.319
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with La Knight here. However, a word of

541
00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:42.240
<v Speaker 2>caution is Logan Paul. Now, Logan Paul has been out

542
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>of WW for months now, and Shinskin Ekamura is a

543
00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:50.920
<v Speaker 2>returning star that has turned a little darker, and there

544
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:54.279
<v Speaker 2>could be something to that. Knight is has been champion

545
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>for several months now. I don't think his run is done,

546
00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:01.200
<v Speaker 2>but I am slightly choosing Knight to retain because they

547
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:04.359
<v Speaker 2>might want him to lose on a bigger stage, but

548
00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:05.960
<v Speaker 2>they might want to free him up for a rumble

549
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 2>run for a you know, maybe a challenge to for

550
00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 2>a higher championship. But right now, Cody Rhads is champion,

551
00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:15.799
<v Speaker 2>so it's kind of difficult to move up when you

552
00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:18.599
<v Speaker 2>are clearly not going to be facing Cody Rhodes for

553
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.079
<v Speaker 2>that belt. Just it's like a square peg in a

554
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:25.599
<v Speaker 2>round hole with those two right now. So I would

555
00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.880
<v Speaker 2>be cautious of Logan Paul possibly screwing l A. Knight,

556
00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:34.759
<v Speaker 2>but I would say, in a very fun match, we're

557
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 2>going to have La Knight beat shensk but it's not

558
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be the victory he wants. He may get

559
00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the BFT and beat Shenskate clean and celebrate, and as

560
00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:49.519
<v Speaker 2>he celebrates, Shensky recovers and beats him down brutally. So

561
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the heat. You know, Shinsky is able to get some

562
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:57.039
<v Speaker 2>heat back after losing. And to one of your emails earlier,

563
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>I think that this is a multi month program takes

564
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 2>us through too, maybe the Royal Rumble and so yeah,

565
00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Shinzkin Nakamura loses, but I think it's in a way

566
00:32:10.160 --> 00:32:14.720
<v Speaker 2>that either he gets a DQ and he gets frustrated

567
00:32:14.720 --> 00:32:18.200
<v Speaker 2>with Knight and there's a DQ here, or Night wins,

568
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:22.799
<v Speaker 2>but immediately Shinsky gets his heat back. So all right,

569
00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:26.480
<v Speaker 2>time for the big heavy hitters, the World Heavyweight Championship,

570
00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Gunther versus Damian Priest. Boy. This one, I think is

571
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 2>also going to be very physical. Do I think maybe

572
00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Finn Balor could rear his head in this, Yes, I do.

573
00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Finn Baler and Damian Priest still haven't really resolved their issues.

574
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that was kind of left open a bit,

575
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:48.319
<v Speaker 2>and I do think it's possible Finn Balor once again

576
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>screws Damian Priest. Gunther. On the other hand, I don't

577
00:32:52.640 --> 00:32:55.400
<v Speaker 2>think we'll have any help. I do think that Damian

578
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:58.400
<v Speaker 2>Priest loses, and it is likely because of interference. I

579
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:01.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know why they would make guntherer guy that needs

580
00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.839
<v Speaker 2>help here. I don't want him to need help. But

581
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.079
<v Speaker 2>they're also and have clearly been on the path of

582
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.680
<v Speaker 2>building up Damian Priest as a guy that can intimidate

583
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 2>even Gunther, which I don't like. As I said on

584
00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:14.480
<v Speaker 2>my raw review, Gunther's the guy, the one guy that

585
00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:18.759
<v Speaker 2>actually should not be intimidated. He's the one guy that intimidates.

586
00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.200
<v Speaker 2>He's not the one that is intimidated. I'm not buying

587
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.400
<v Speaker 2>it here. I'm not buying that suddenly Damian Priest is

588
00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 2>the guy that rattles Gunther. Don't buy it yet, That

589
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:31.519
<v Speaker 2>doesn't That doesn't jive with me. So I have not

590
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 2>been buying into what they're trying to sell me here.

591
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:35.759
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's done a little damage to the

592
00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Gunther character of having him be rattled by him. But

593
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Gunther should retain. This one, to me is a slam dunk.

594
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I'd give it. When I say slam dunk, not a guarantee,

595
00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:51.039
<v Speaker 2>but I'd say it's like eighty twenty that Gunther retains.

596
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:53.799
<v Speaker 2>We're nowhere near ready for Gunther to lose that. We

597
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 2>have been fantasizing about a Gunther World Championship run for

598
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean years in some cases, since he came to

599
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 2>the main roster, and it's finally here, and you're not

600
00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna cut it short. There's a lot more you can

601
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.800
<v Speaker 2>do with Gunther as champion. Healed champions are also more fun.

602
00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Not that Damian Priest had a bad run. He had

603
00:34:11.679 --> 00:34:14.199
<v Speaker 2>a I think an overachieving run. But right now, Gunther

604
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:16.360
<v Speaker 2>is the guy you go with. He's the guy that

605
00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the company can build around a little bit more on

606
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the raw side of things and have baby faces step up,

607
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:25.559
<v Speaker 2>and I think he's champions or at least WrestleMania all right,

608
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Roman Reigns, sammy'sz Ain, the USOS and yes, c I'm

609
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Punk with likely Paul Hayman on the outside taking on

610
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 2>solo Sokoa, Jacob Fatu, Tomatonga Tangaloa and Big. You gotta

611
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:45.400
<v Speaker 2>add Big otherwise it's not Bronson, Reid, Big Bronze and Red. Okay,

612
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 2>this one should be should be a lot of fun,

613
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.239
<v Speaker 2>no doubt. I don't care who has the advantage. The

614
00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 2>advantage match means jack. As you guys have heard from me,

615
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:59.559
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I expect fully a one chance of Jacob

616
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Fatu winning that advantage match over Jimmy us So to

617
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:05.039
<v Speaker 2>get the advantage, and it makes sense you want, I

618
00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.400
<v Speaker 2>think in this case the team, the baby faced team

619
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.519
<v Speaker 2>to be quote unquote disadvantaged, which again I explained why

620
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.519
<v Speaker 2>that's not really a thing in this match, but that's

621
00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:15.039
<v Speaker 2>how you they're going to play it, that's the story

622
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:19.639
<v Speaker 2>they're telling. So fine. Now the question is for a

623
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 2>lot of people is not necessarily who's even going to

624
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>win this The questions have not even been yet, like

625
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:29.159
<v Speaker 2>like who's going to be victorious, which is kind of odd.

626
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:36.800
<v Speaker 2>The question is who returns or who turns? Does again

627
00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:40.639
<v Speaker 2>i'd say in order of likelihood from least likely to

628
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.239
<v Speaker 2>most likely, I would say brock Lessner's the least likely.

629
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:46.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where you even fit him in here.

630
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:48.599
<v Speaker 2>He would have been what Seampunk's doing. So I think

631
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:52.360
<v Speaker 2>brock Lessner is unlikely, very unlikely, but at least he's

632
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:56.440
<v Speaker 2>in the universe of possibility. And then I think you

633
00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>have the rock second in line. I think he's a

634
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.119
<v Speaker 2>fifth fifty shot. And then the most likely to return

635
00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:06.400
<v Speaker 2>is seth rollins Am I say return, I mean show

636
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:08.599
<v Speaker 2>up because he's back. He's not like on injury or something.

637
00:36:09.320 --> 00:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And I think Seth Rollins here has something to say

638
00:36:12.880 --> 00:36:16.480
<v Speaker 2>about Bronson Reid, and I think he comes in and

639
00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:19.280
<v Speaker 2>if he doesn't do what I expected him to do

640
00:36:20.000 --> 00:36:22.599
<v Speaker 2>in my kind of I think I said it in

641
00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:24.639
<v Speaker 2>the Raw review where he comes in and he does

642
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:27.760
<v Speaker 2>what he did last year, and except he does it

643
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:30.280
<v Speaker 2>to Punk. Right in this case, he may do it

644
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:33.280
<v Speaker 2>to Punk and Punk's victorious and he's standing there and

645
00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:36.119
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rollins then comes out, and it's just the roles

646
00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:38.440
<v Speaker 2>are now reversed from last year where Punk came out

647
00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 2>at the end. Now Seth Rollins comes out at the

648
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:43.840
<v Speaker 2>end to confront you know, Punk. It's possible there, but

649
00:36:44.000 --> 00:36:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rollins could come in in the middle of the

650
00:36:46.039 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 2>match here stomp Bronson Reid and maybe even stomp Punk.

651
00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:54.400
<v Speaker 2>So it's not quite a heel turn because he also

652
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 2>attacked a heel. It's just both men get stomped. He

653
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.039
<v Speaker 2>faces off with Roman Reigns, he just stands there, stars

654
00:37:01.119 --> 00:37:04.960
<v Speaker 2>and then leaves, So I think that's possible, or he

655
00:37:05.079 --> 00:37:07.480
<v Speaker 2>just attacks Bronson Reid. He's got a program going on

656
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.599
<v Speaker 2>with it, so it would be almost impossible to believe

657
00:37:09.599 --> 00:37:11.679
<v Speaker 2>he's not going to have some physical altercation with Bronson

658
00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Reid in this match, whether it's after or during. But

659
00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the Punk situation needs to heat up because Punk needs

660
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 2>to get the hell away from the Bloodline. As I

661
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 2>explained earlier, he doesn't need to be there right now.

662
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Him and Roman can have a program after Mania, and

663
00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:27.960
<v Speaker 2>I think right now it's not time. So you have

664
00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:33.039
<v Speaker 2>Seth Rollins come in, stomp at least Bronson Reid, maybe Punk,

665
00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:35.400
<v Speaker 2>or at least shove him down or punch him and

666
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:41.480
<v Speaker 2>leave and he is eliminated because of Punk, or he

667
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.960
<v Speaker 2>loses because of Punk, or I'm sorry, because of Rollins.

668
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Rollins costs his team to match. So I think that's

669
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 2>very possible. But Seth Rollins is going to have a

670
00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:57.840
<v Speaker 2>hell of an impact in this match or after. And

671
00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.960
<v Speaker 2>I keep saying or because both makes sense. Now the

672
00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:06.679
<v Speaker 2>question is, but, ok, okay, who wins HM? I think

673
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 2>the OG bloodline wins. I think they do. Do I

674
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:14.440
<v Speaker 2>expect to a Paul Hammond turn God, I hope not.

675
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I just explained why about ten minutes ago. But I'll

676
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:21.239
<v Speaker 2>go with the OG blood line. Honestly, it doesn't really

677
00:38:21.320 --> 00:38:24.360
<v Speaker 2>matter who wins here because it's not necessarily about who wins,

678
00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:26.679
<v Speaker 2>because number one, there's nothing on the line other than pride,

679
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and number two, it's about Seth and a possible returning Rock.

680
00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So we could have a dual return of Rock and Rollins,

681
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:39.039
<v Speaker 2>just like we had Orton and Punk last year. So

682
00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:41.400
<v Speaker 2>the Rock, if he comes back, let's play out the

683
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Rock scenario. I'm not even gonna deal with the brock

684
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Lesner because it's very unlikely. But with the Rock, he

685
00:38:46.519 --> 00:38:48.400
<v Speaker 2>could do what he did last time and stand there

686
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>and stare, and I think that's the most likely scenario.

687
00:38:51.320 --> 00:38:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the Rock is a quick substitute. I

688
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.559
<v Speaker 2>don't think the Rock is physically in the match or

689
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:57.960
<v Speaker 2>even comes in during the match. I think if the

690
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Rock shows up, it's after the match and stands there

691
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and stares and does what he did last time, and

692
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:05.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe we get a little more. Maybe he comes in

693
00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the ring and has a face off against somebody or

694
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.480
<v Speaker 2>just confronts Roman. You know, there's a lot that the

695
00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Rock could do, But I will say the Rock is

696
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:16.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to be in the match. I don't see

697
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a way. The only way is if you know Punk,

698
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it's mysteriously injured, He's attacked backstage, and the rock is

699
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the substitute for a punk I mean very unlikely there.

700
00:39:26.039 --> 00:39:28.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's how I think this is going to play

701
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 2>out in a wild, fun, physical Wargames match. So let

702
00:39:34.039 --> 00:39:40.199
<v Speaker 2>me recap my picks. Og Bloodline wins, Gunther retains, Live

703
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Morgan's I'm Sorry, Ripley's team wins, La Knight retains, and

704
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.719
<v Speaker 2>Ludwig Kaiser wins the Intercontinental Championship. That's my pick. Those

705
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:52.440
<v Speaker 2>are my picks. So let me know you guys think,

706
