Speaker 1: This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre, and you're listening to
Speaker 1: the WWE podcast show.
Speaker 2: The one that everybody wants me.
Speaker 3: God tell ste sixteens, your ass is my art.
Speaker 1: You're gonna acknowledge me.
Speaker 2: Well, here we are, SummerSlam twenty twenty five, and we've
Speaker 2: got a lot to get through. We've got two nights
Speaker 2: of wrestling, believe it or not, Yes, two nights of
Speaker 2: SummerSlam for the first time ever. We'll see if that's
Speaker 2: a trend that continues. I would imagine that it is
Speaker 2: something that's going to continue in the years to come,
Speaker 2: and we'll we'll see how we feel if we've been
Speaker 2: through Wrestlmingia a few years of doing this, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's going to be much different. And that's fine.
Speaker 2: I mean, it takes up your whole weekend, but it's
Speaker 2: kind of cool because by the time Saturday's over, you're
Speaker 2: thinking yourself on, well, hey, we've still got a whole
Speaker 2: nother night. It can be a little bit exhausting, but
Speaker 2: it's if you're a wrestling fan. I think this is
Speaker 2: going to be a formula that ultimately is going to
Speaker 2: be successful. So let's dive into it. We're going to
Speaker 2: give our predictions. On the back end, we will hear
Speaker 2: from some listeners on what they think is going to
Speaker 2: happen as well, kind of a small mailbag session at
Speaker 2: the end of this. So let's dive in because there
Speaker 2: are so many matches here, and we'll do that. But
Speaker 2: one thing right now, I just want to mention I
Speaker 2: didn't talk about at all, and it's just a quick thing,
Speaker 2: is we have Roman Reigns's shoes being stolen. I don't care.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I don't care about that. Doesn't
Speaker 2: if someone wants to steal Roman rains of shoes doesn't
Speaker 2: bother me. I mean, we saw what happened on RAW.
Speaker 2: I don't care. Doesn't mean anything to me. I'm not
Speaker 2: a big shoe guy. I don't care if they're ten
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a piece, I just don't care. So that's
Speaker 2: my answer. But let's go into it, and we'll start
Speaker 2: obviously with night one. I don't know in what order
Speaker 2: this will be on the show, but this is a
Speaker 2: full amount of reading. This is from CBS Sports. It
Speaker 2: sounds like it's plausible that this is the order in
Speaker 2: which the matches could actually be laid out. But here
Speaker 2: we go Sammy's Ain versus Carrying Cross, and this matchup
Speaker 2: has been weird. This this program has been weird up
Speaker 2: and down. I don't think Carrion Cross has had a
Speaker 2: stellar match yet Sammy's Ain has been primarily carrying load
Speaker 2: inside the ring. That being said, it's nice to see
Speaker 2: carry and Cross getting some actual consistent on air time,
Speaker 2: even if this whole thing is just about making sure
Speaker 2: that the other one says the other one was right,
Speaker 2: Like that's the whole thing here. Just it's kind of funny,
Speaker 2: but it's a good thing for carrying a Cross who
Speaker 2: had some of men. I'm going into rest mania because
Speaker 2: of the promo he cut and then lost it, and
Speaker 2: now it seems like maybe they're gonna see what he's got.
Speaker 2: See if the fans stick with him and it's time
Speaker 2: for Carrying Cross. He needs to have an outstanding performance
Speaker 2: here in order to go to the next level, and
Speaker 2: there's no better person to have on the other side
Speaker 2: of the ring than Sammy's Ain to do that. So
Speaker 2: who do I think is gonna win here? I mean,
Speaker 2: I have to say Sammy's Ain. I still have to
Speaker 2: say Sammy's Ain because this program needs to be over,
Speaker 2: but I don't know. You know, Sammy's Ain could win
Speaker 2: straight up. I wouldn't be surprised if he has inadvertent
Speaker 2: help somehow, but this seems to be a one on
Speaker 2: one program with no real outside entities. I really do
Speaker 2: think that Sammy's Ain is gonna win, and if he
Speaker 2: wins just straight up, then he wins straight up. But
Speaker 2: I think the most important thing, as I said, for Carrying,
Speaker 2: is to have an outstanding match, the best match of
Speaker 2: his career, no pressure. I don't mean to have a
Speaker 2: you don't have to have a five star classic, but
Speaker 2: one that's memorable, one that you can hang your hat
Speaker 2: on and say, hey, Carrion lost, but in a hell
Speaker 2: of an effort he lost, and it can move him
Speaker 2: to that X level to work with the next level
Speaker 2: of talent consistently. And it's going to be interesting to
Speaker 2: see also how the crowd reacts to him just throughout
Speaker 2: the match. I think it'll be twelve fifteen minutes tops,
Speaker 2: probably twelve thirteen minutes, and ultimately Samy's Ain coming out
Speaker 2: on top. And the other reason I think Samy's gonna
Speaker 2: win is because they have been constantly talking about how
Speaker 2: Sammy's Ain is not going to ever be world champion,
Speaker 2: and the baby Faces are defending him, saying, yes, you will,
Speaker 2: and the Heels are saying, no, you're not, And so
Speaker 2: that story needs to continue. You can't have samy' z
Speaker 2: Ain at this point in that story that they're seemingly
Speaker 2: building to. Having him lose to Carry and Cross wouldn't
Speaker 2: really make a ton of sense, all righty. The next
Speaker 2: is let's see what what do I think is actually
Speaker 2: going to be next? Probably the Women's Tag Team Championships
Speaker 2: Rock Cal Rodriguez and rox san Perez versus Alexa Bliss
Speaker 2: and Charlotte Flair. This one, to me, I mean, it's
Speaker 2: the Women's Tag Team Championships. So it doesn't get much
Speaker 2: less interesting the way that WWE's presented them anyway. Not
Speaker 2: no disrespect to any of the women in the ring here,
Speaker 2: all four are very very good, you know, future Hall
Speaker 2: of Famers, at least two out of the four right now,
Speaker 2: and right now you have a team in Judgment Day
Speaker 2: of Rackl and Roxanne that are still trying to find
Speaker 2: their way with Live Morgan being gone. What if Live
Speaker 2: Morgan makes a surprise appearance here, It's not out of
Speaker 2: the question. I don't live Morgan doesn't due back for
Speaker 2: a little while, but has anyone thought about this? Maybe
Speaker 2: Lives somehow makes her presence felt costing Roquel the championships.
Speaker 2: I mean, perhaps what's the beef? Well, she has beef
Speaker 2: with Roxanne, so she didn't trust Roxanne. Roxanne has been
Speaker 2: kind of warming up to Dom and trying to interfere,
Speaker 2: and then Live gets hurt. It's possible that said, Do
Speaker 2: I think the Live is going to come back? No,
Speaker 2: but it's on the universe of possibilities, and I think
Speaker 2: Alexa Listens Charlotte Flair probably win here. I think they win,
Speaker 2: and I think the crowd will love it. I don't
Speaker 2: think Alexa and Charlotte will have a long run with it,
Speaker 2: but I think both Alexa and Charlotte are in a
Speaker 2: place right now where they found a weird friendship that
Speaker 2: they say isn't a friendship, and they both don't have
Speaker 2: much else going on at the moment anyway, and the
Speaker 2: fans have taken to Charlotte also being in this tag team.
Speaker 2: I would say Alexa and Charlotte are probably gonna win here.
Speaker 2: In fact, I would say they're heavy favorites to win.
Speaker 2: I don't think they'll have a long run because they
Speaker 2: are both inherently single stars. But a couple of months, yeah,
Speaker 2: and then have them lose it. So in October November
Speaker 2: at the very latest, and then they go on their way.
Speaker 2: But it's a good time to strike with both women
Speaker 2: hereing some momentum, some chemistry together, Alexa Bliss and Charlotte
Speaker 2: Flair become new women's tag team champions. Alrighty, what's next?
Speaker 2: Probably probably Randy Orton and Jelly Roll versus Drew McIntyre
Speaker 2: and Logan Paul. Drew McIntyre is going to make it.
Speaker 2: By the way, all of the talk about his passport
Speaker 2: and being stuck in Scotland or overseas or wherever he
Speaker 2: is is nonsense. He revealed it on X earlier and
Speaker 2: Logan Paul showed up and it's all a story. So
Speaker 2: it got some of us to believe that it was true.
Speaker 2: I mean there were times where I did believe it
Speaker 2: was true as well. But it looks like Drew McIntyre
Speaker 2: is going to make it. It's a story. He'll be there,
Speaker 2: So I expect Randy Orton to be euphoric as he
Speaker 2: always is for some bizarre reason about Jelly Roll. He'll
Speaker 2: have some moments in the match, but Randy Orton is
Speaker 2: certainly going to carry the weight of this match on
Speaker 2: his back. And I expect Logan Paul to get some
Speaker 2: shots in on Jelly Roll, but Jelly Roll ultimately looking good. Here,
Speaker 2: what do I think is gonna happen? Probably Randy Orton,
Speaker 2: r KO ing Drew MacIntyre. Well, let me put it
Speaker 2: this way, Logan Paul is going to take the pinfall.
Speaker 2: Jelly Roll is very likely to get the the the
Speaker 2: actual pin on Logan Paul. I think that they want
Speaker 2: to make Jelly Roll look good. Jelly Roll has lost
Speaker 2: a ton of weight and put in a ton of work,
Speaker 2: and I can appreciate that, and I respect that, and
Speaker 2: that's to me very important as a fan. Why Randy
Speaker 2: Orton is so obsessed with Jelly Roll. He's going he's
Speaker 2: I mean, he's over selling Jelly Roll to the point
Speaker 2: of just it's just gross. Randy Orton is a megastar
Speaker 2: in wrestling, and he's star struck with Jelly Roll. It's
Speaker 2: it's infuriating, But I mean he's trying to put over
Speaker 2: a celebrity. I understand he's doing it for the company.
Speaker 2: But I expect Jelly Roll to look good, better than
Speaker 2: most expect. We saw a little bit of what he
Speaker 2: could do with a back elbow and you know the
Speaker 2: slam that he did he through. I saw a couple
Speaker 2: of okay punches. Logan Paul, though, is light years ahead
Speaker 2: of him in terms of ability, in terms of what
Speaker 2: the fans know he's capable of versus Jelly Roll. Jelly
Speaker 2: Roll here, I don't think is going to make it
Speaker 2: a regular appearance on WWE. He's got his own music career.
Speaker 2: I don't need to see Jelly Roll in the ring
Speaker 2: at all ever again after this, it's just your typical
Speaker 2: celebrity crossover event that they're trying to get more eyeballs
Speaker 2: on this show, and I can I get that they're
Speaker 2: a business, but I don't expect this to be a
Speaker 2: great match. Although I will say there'll be moments of
Speaker 2: Jelly Roll. Randy Orton and Logan Paul and McIntyre can
Speaker 2: all put on a show. It's just Jelly Roll that's
Speaker 2: going to drag them all down, and that's to be expected.
Speaker 2: It it's not a hit on Jelly Roll. He's just
Speaker 2: he's He's not even in the he's not even in
Speaker 2: the same universe of ability of all three of these men.
Speaker 2: So they have to work around jelly Roll's limitations and weaknesses,
Speaker 2: which is pretty much almost every everything, and make him
Speaker 2: look like a million bucks. I do want to see
Speaker 2: Drew McIntyre claymore jelly Roll. I need to see that.
Speaker 2: It'll make me very happy inside. Yeah, so, but I
Speaker 2: expect Randy Orton and jelly Roll to win. All righty,
Speaker 2: let's get to Bronson Reid and bron Breaker versus jay
Speaker 2: Us and Roman Reigns. I know this is not going
Speaker 2: to be the main event, but there's definitely, you know,
Speaker 2: a case we made that this could be, and this
Speaker 2: program has been one that I know. Roman Reigns has
Speaker 2: been reportedly backstage not happy about. He wanted his own
Speaker 2: singles match on Summer Slam, but they got a tag
Speaker 2: team match and that's okay. You know, Roman Reigns and
Speaker 2: jay Us so with their bloodline connection from the last
Speaker 2: five years, certainly makes sense to be put together, and
Speaker 2: bron Breaker and Bronson Reid also together trying to build momentum.
Speaker 2: This is actually a tough one to call. Roman Reiins
Speaker 2: has recently returns from his WrestleMania vacation that he takes
Speaker 2: every year, and bron Breaker and Bronson Reid over the
Speaker 2: last couple of days a week, I say, has really
Speaker 2: gotten a lot of heat. With the destruction of Roman
Speaker 2: Reigns and Jus on Raw, bron Breaker has broken out
Speaker 2: on the microphone. It's been a great week for bron
Speaker 2: Breaker and Bronson Reid. And if you look at the
Speaker 2: typical rule of thumb, where if the heels get the
Speaker 2: heat the advantage heading into the ple e or pay
Speaker 2: per view, usually the lose on the ple e. But
Speaker 2: in this case this is not easy to say, because
Speaker 2: bron Breaker and Bronson Reid are the stars of tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Roman Rains and Jayus are the stars of today. If
Speaker 2: you have Roman and j just flat out beat bron
Speaker 2: and Bronson, it looks like it, you know, it may
Speaker 2: set them back a little bit. So I fully expect
Speaker 2: this to be an awesome match. You talk about ability, speed, power,
Speaker 2: it's all here. I mean, this is gonna be awesome.
Speaker 2: Bron Breaker will have a hell of an eye as
Speaker 2: he always does, and look out for Bronson read too,
Speaker 2: and Bronson Reees is getting a little bit of the
Speaker 2: shadow of bron Breaker on him, but it could be
Speaker 2: time for Bronson Read to break out too. So who
Speaker 2: do I think is gonna win? Though? Man, this is tough.
Speaker 2: I could see Seth Rollins coming in here, could but
Speaker 2: I doubt it. We'll get to him though in the
Speaker 2: main event, if you know what I'm getting at here,
Speaker 2: So no Seth here. Could we have a brock Lesnar deal.
Speaker 2: We could, but I don't think so right now. I
Speaker 2: think it's a straight up no. Nobody else interferes and
Speaker 2: I I have to go with Roman Reigns and jay Uso.
Speaker 2: But on the back end, the Heels get their heat back.
Speaker 2: So Roman Reigns and Jauso maybe Spear, Bronson Reed, bron
Speaker 2: Breaker is not going to be the one taking the
Speaker 2: pinfall if they lose. You know there's going to be
Speaker 2: I mean, what's the over under on spears ten? In
Speaker 2: this match? You have three guys who use the spear
Speaker 2: as they're finish. The only one you're missing is Goldberg.
Speaker 2: If Goldberg was in there with bron Breaker, you know,
Speaker 2: if it was bron Breaker in Goldberg versus jaj Uso
Speaker 2: and Roman Reigns, I mean, it's be wild. But you
Speaker 2: have three of the guys in wrestling right now using
Speaker 2: spears as they're finished, I would say the spear total
Speaker 2: is going to be ten. Dare I say, I don't
Speaker 2: mean that to be I mean it's probably realistic, but
Speaker 2: Roman reigns and ja us So probably lose. But I'm
Speaker 2: putting this at like a fifty one nine percent chance.
Speaker 2: This is a really tough one. All right, Women's tag team.
Speaker 2: I already said that. Let's talk to or look at
Speaker 2: the women's championship match Tiffany Stratton and Jade Cargill. You know,
Speaker 2: this one, to me is a slam dunk unless they
Speaker 2: want to turn Jade Cargill heel. I don't think right
Speaker 2: now that's the goal. So with that said, I think
Speaker 2: Tiffany Stratton wins in a match that's going to be okay.
Speaker 2: Jade has been improving, but I don't I still don't
Speaker 2: have a high bar for her, though she's had glimpses
Speaker 2: and glimmers of good moments to really good moments, which
Speaker 2: her best one by far was still as I said
Speaker 2: of the elimination chamber, when she came in and destroyed Naomi,
Speaker 2: that was the best she's ever looked. And then since
Speaker 2: then she's kind of slowly taken steps back and back
Speaker 2: and back. But Tiffany Stratton right now, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think it's ready. I don't think the fans are
Speaker 2: ready to have Jade crowned as the women's champion. We
Speaker 2: still have no idea. Can anybody explain who Jade is? Anybody?
Speaker 2: What's her personality? What's her mission? Okay, she wants to
Speaker 2: be champion, but who doesn't. I mean, that's that's a
Speaker 2: default mission. That's just something that everyone has or should have.
Speaker 2: So that's that's not new. We're interesting.
Speaker 1: To me.
Speaker 2: Tiffany Stratton has to win this. If Jade wins, part
Speaker 2: of me wants to see what the crowd is gonna do.
Speaker 2: I think they would. They would completely flat out reject Jade.
Speaker 2: Jade's gonna be booed in this match, and she's going
Speaker 2: to be booed. I would say seventy five to twenty five.
Speaker 2: And that might be kind because the fans have taken
Speaker 2: to Tiffany. They have really from the get go, even
Speaker 2: when she was playing a heel, and I think Jade
Speaker 2: has not endeared herself to the fans because they don't
Speaker 2: know who she is. They have kind of started to
Speaker 2: see through her facade of just look at my body,
Speaker 2: Look how good I look? And then the fans are going, wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: it is incredible. Your physique is incredible, But hey, is
Speaker 2: there anything else? Look what else is there? And the
Speaker 2: fans aren't getting much. Yeah, she's slowly improving in the range.
Speaker 2: She'll take two steps forward, one step back, but there's
Speaker 2: nothing there for the fans to really gravitate to. And
Speaker 2: I think that if they put Jade in that position
Speaker 2: of being Women's Champion, the fans would reject it. So again,
Speaker 2: that's fine if they want to turn her heel. But
Speaker 2: if the goal is to keep her babyface and have
Speaker 2: the torch being passed to Jade, yeah, good luck with that.
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Night one main event has
Speaker 2: to be the main event. Gunther versus CM Punk Who
Speaker 2: this one? This has so many possibilities. I don't even
Speaker 2: know where to go. You have Gunther and Punk. If
Speaker 2: it's just them straight up, no wacky inside or outside
Speaker 2: of interference, this is going to be a really good
Speaker 2: match because they're two professionals. I say that a lot,
Speaker 2: but it's true. Punk has shown that he's more than
Speaker 2: capable of continuing to be performing at the level he has.
Speaker 2: He is a older guy that has still somehow found
Speaker 2: the fountain of youth when it comes to in ring performance,
Speaker 2: and I give him all the credit in the world
Speaker 2: for that. Gunther hasn't even reached his peak yet, and
Speaker 2: we're still trying to build him and really also do
Speaker 2: a lot little bit of repair from the just gone
Speaker 2: awful decision to have him tap out to jay Usoid WrestleMania,
Speaker 2: which is still haunting him. It's a cloud over his
Speaker 2: head that I don't know if we'll ever wipe away.
Speaker 2: So that said, oh, and you have gone through just
Speaker 2: essentially reclaiming the belt a couple of months ago. So
Speaker 2: he's on a second run here, kind of doing a
Speaker 2: Wwe did a bit of a pivot there, and you know,
Speaker 2: you don't think it's going to beat it just handed
Speaker 2: to Punk, do you?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 2: If I don't even know if the fan the fans
Speaker 2: would I think be excited to see Ceampunk as world champion.
Speaker 2: It's been how many years since cmpunk has held a
Speaker 2: world championship, or really any championship in w W Since
Speaker 2: he's been back in November of twenty three, Right, when's
Speaker 2: the last time what did cm punk do since he
Speaker 2: came back. I mean he was injured for nine months
Speaker 2: towards TRICEP comes back, has some matches with you know,
Speaker 2: Drew mctyre, a whole slew with Seth Rollins. So this match,
Speaker 2: here's what I don't gonna say. I think Gunther wins.
Speaker 2: I think Gunther wins. But then I don't know because
Speaker 2: the wild card is this weird injury with Seth that
Speaker 2: still has no update, and I'm about ready to cross
Speaker 2: the fence. I keep saying that the fans and WWE
Speaker 2: right now something's not lining up. We have never I
Speaker 2: have never seen an injury for a star of this
Speaker 2: magnitude undiagnosed for this long ever, So that is now
Speaker 2: starting to really ring a bell with me. Maybe the
Speaker 2: WWE is just trying to play with us, but why
Speaker 2: there's no need. But I will say Seth Rollins here
Speaker 2: cashing in Seth Rollins's injury. If it's not legitim and
Speaker 2: this has all been a setup, which I'm starting to
Speaker 2: lean towards now, then there is some backlash to that
Speaker 2: again that the fact that we'll know the actual legit
Speaker 2: injuries are gonna be overshadowed by is this real, because
Speaker 2: the last time they thought this is real, they made
Speaker 2: us believe that it wasn't and legitimate injuries and it
Speaker 2: could get very confusing quickly. I don't think we should
Speaker 2: ever blend real injury with storyline. I'm not a big
Speaker 2: fan of that. So if this is indeed a work
Speaker 2: and this whole thing's been to work, and Seth Rollins
Speaker 2: is back and he's gonna cash in, then fine, make
Speaker 2: Seth Rollins your world champion. I mean it makes sense.
Speaker 2: Both Bronson and brown Breaker are on fire. Paul Hayman
Speaker 2: has been leading this group very nicely, although this past
Speaker 2: week was probably his worst week that he's had and
Speaker 2: maybe his entire career. It was just not good. But
Speaker 2: we'll give him a pass because it's freaking Paul Hayman,
Speaker 2: and you have Seth Rollins return, cash in and boom.
Speaker 2: Now you could have cmpunk Win and then seth Rollins
Speaker 2: comes in and cashes in. He hates punk right his
Speaker 2: whole mission, in his whole life. Remember when Seth Rollins said,
Speaker 2: as long as there's a breath in his body, he
Speaker 2: will not allow Sampunk to be champion. So it's possible
Speaker 2: that he either costs Punk or Sampunk does win, but
Speaker 2: he wins for a brief moment and then Seth Rollins
Speaker 2: cashes in or Seth Rollins makes it a triple threat
Speaker 2: and he cashes in on and then stomps cmpunk and one,
Speaker 2: two three, and we all thought Seth Rollins is really injured.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Yeah, and the heightst of the Century
Speaker 2: Part two very possible. It seems like all the duck
Speaker 2: Ducks are lining up for it, So I would say
Speaker 2: c mpunk is If there is no Seth Rawlins, Gunther
Speaker 2: probably retains. But if Seth Rollins is going to be there,
Speaker 2: and I'm leaning towards that slightly, then I think Seth
Speaker 2: Rollins becomes world champion. All right, Night two, Night two,
Speaker 2: let's talk about it. We have a WWE Tag Team
Speaker 2: Championship match, the Wide six versus DIY versus The Three
Speaker 2: Profits versus Phraxium versus MotorCity Machine Guns versus Andrade and
Speaker 2: Ray Phoenix a late additions to the card here, and
Speaker 2: I would think Night two. From what I'm reading on
Speaker 2: CBS Sports, it says that it's not announced whether those
Speaker 2: would be on Night one or Night too, but Night
Speaker 2: two makes sense is it would play six matches on
Speaker 2: each night, which I would agree with. So this match,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty much everyone in the division in
Speaker 2: this match, and I would expect probably the Wyatt six
Speaker 2: to retain. I think a close second is MotorCity machine Guns.
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, I don't think there's any chance.
Speaker 2: I'm on Drada and Ray Phoenix, the three Profits just
Speaker 2: lost them and Phraxium hasn't really gained a ton of
Speaker 2: met him yet and DIY kind of in the same boat.
Speaker 2: So I would say motorc City machine Guns are a
Speaker 2: close second. Wy At six I think will retain in
Speaker 2: a TLC match. Here, don't forget TLC I should have
Speaker 2: mentioned that. So this will be entertaining as hell. Could
Speaker 2: absolutely open the show on night two, excuse me, and
Speaker 2: I think that this is going to be highly entertaining, bumps, bruises,
Speaker 2: all the rest that you expect from a tag team
Speaker 2: multi tag team TLC match. It's going to be violent, wild,
Speaker 2: the things off the ladders. As I mentioned earlier in
Speaker 2: the week, I'm genuinely concerned for the health and safety
Speaker 2: of the men in this match. I'm genuinely concerned. I
Speaker 2: mean that in the most complimentary way. Not that they're
Speaker 2: going to be unsafe purposefully, but I mean you inherently
Speaker 2: absorb more risk by doing this type of match. But
Speaker 2: I think the Wyat six retain all right, Dominic Castio
Speaker 2: versus AJ Styles. Dom probably retains here, but it would
Speaker 2: be nice to see AJ Styles get a nice championship run,
Speaker 2: a mid card, mid upper car championship run with the
Speaker 2: IC belt. But I expect Dominic Masterio to win here.
Speaker 2: And even though he's been avoiding AJ Styles, I think
Speaker 2: that dom needs a little more time with that belt.
Speaker 2: I think that despite the fact that the fans have
Speaker 2: gone back to booing him a bit, I think they're
Speaker 2: still ready to embrace him. And Dom has been, you know,
Speaker 2: I would say moderately warm since WrestleMania, having lived, not
Speaker 2: there does her live? Is such a part of dom
Speaker 2: and now without her there, Not that Dom is dependent
Speaker 2: on her to survive as a character, but he was
Speaker 2: part of her and she was part of him in
Speaker 2: the storyline, and she helped him win, and their backstage
Speaker 2: antics and all the rest were fun to watch. But
Speaker 2: Dominic Mastiro can hold his own in the ring, and
Speaker 2: this is going to be an entertaining match one that
Speaker 2: I think is going to end up with Dominic Monstereiro retaining.
Speaker 2: All right, Jacobontu and Solo Sokoa in a steel cage
Speaker 2: match for the United States Championship. I think Solo retains
Speaker 2: only because he just got it. That's it. That's the
Speaker 2: only reason. Jacob Fatu does not need to win this.
Speaker 2: He has proven himself at this point. Solo at the
Speaker 2: on the other hand, needs a little momentum boost here
Speaker 2: because he loses every other match that he has. He's
Speaker 2: very much a fifty to fifty books person or character
Speaker 2: rather on the roster right now. They don't seem to
Speaker 2: be super behind him, but having a belt around his
Speaker 2: waist can help. And I think Solo Soakoa will win here,
Speaker 2: probably because of the Talatanga Tongala. Some Tonga is going
Speaker 2: to be interfering, or Tonga's plural will probably be interfering.
Speaker 2: Jacofatu could certainly have help from Jimmy Usso, but it's
Speaker 2: not going to make a difference. I think Solo retains
Speaker 2: because of the uh the tongans Okay. The Women's Inner
Speaker 2: Cannidental Championship. Becky Lynch and Lyra Becky Lynch wins. I mean,
Speaker 2: so far, I'm having a lot of retentions here, but
Speaker 2: we don't need Lyra Valkyria winning because we're done with
Speaker 2: this program. And I think as long as Becky Lynch
Speaker 2: holds that championship, Lyra can no longer challenge her, which
Speaker 2: I think the fans at this point are fine with.
Speaker 2: Lyra did not have a good week. This passed on
Speaker 2: past week on Raw. Her little dance jig that she
Speaker 2: did was bad, her promo wasn't good. The fans booed
Speaker 2: the segment generally Becky Lynch, I think, and her can.
Speaker 2: They do have chemistry and this should be a really
Speaker 2: fun match from a physical standpoint, But the fans aren't
Speaker 2: into this story anymore. They left it behind a month ago.
Speaker 2: And right now you're gonna have Becky Lynch retained, and
Speaker 2: she should. I don't mean, there's really not much more
Speaker 2: to say about this, and yeah, so all righty, we
Speaker 2: then have Naomi versus Yo Sky versus Ree Ripley for
Speaker 2: the Women's World Championship. This is gonna be fun. I mean,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be The quality of this match is
Speaker 2: gonna be through the roof. I expect Naomi to again retain. Boy,
Speaker 2: I'm going for a Naomi retention. I don't think Ria
Speaker 2: Ripley needs to have the belt. Eo Sky doesn't need it.
Speaker 2: She just dropped it. Naomi just cashed in again. A
Speaker 2: Naomi retention makes sense here, despite the fact that you
Speaker 2: could make a case for Riha Ripley in a strong one.
Speaker 2: Ria is at the point in her career she doesn't
Speaker 2: need the belt and she has achieved that level of
Speaker 2: success so early on, and that's a compliment to her.
Speaker 2: She doesn't need the championship, but she wants it and
Speaker 2: she always wants it. And as an emailer pointed out
Speaker 2: earlier last week, every Women's Championship match since WrestleMania has
Speaker 2: involved Ria Ripley in some way. So I think that
Speaker 2: Naomi retaining would make sense. Having somebody and interfere to
Speaker 2: screw Ria Ripley would be good. To get her off
Speaker 2: the Women's Championship trail and have Ria involved in something
Speaker 2: that doesn't involve the Championship. That would be a good
Speaker 2: thing for her, But hey, what do I know. The
Speaker 2: fans continue to cheer her. She's the top woman in
Speaker 2: the entire company, and EO Sky, I think is again
Speaker 2: there's no chance of her because of the fact that
Speaker 2: she just lost it. Naomi. I want to see what
Speaker 2: this run can do. I think there is certainly gas
Speaker 2: left in the tank when it comes to Naomi and
Speaker 2: her run, of what it looks like and what she
Speaker 2: can do with it. I don't think it'd be fair
Speaker 2: to have her drop it this quickly. So unfortunately, if
Speaker 2: you guys are looking for a lot of title changes,
Speaker 2: I don't have a lot for you here. Becky Lynch retains,
Speaker 2: Naomi retains. Now things get interesting. The nine two main
Speaker 2: event for the Undersplitted Championship, John Cuniversus Cody Roads in
Speaker 2: a street fight that is going to be a key
Speaker 2: factor here, not just to make this not just a
Speaker 2: wrestling match and a little bit more, make it a
Speaker 2: little bit more brutal and all the rest, but to
Speaker 2: allow potential interference because you know, Lord knows that the
Speaker 2: obligatory spot in an underspeted Championship match should be a refump.
Speaker 2: There must be a ref bump, and we will get one.
Speaker 2: And now what does that ref bump entail? And what
Speaker 2: does it mean? And what does it set up? Do
Speaker 2: I dare go there? Do I dare say Dwayne shows up,
Speaker 2: it's a possibility. Anybody that says it's not is not
Speaker 2: paying attention. WWE is very aware of the backlash they
Speaker 2: received for the night to main event disaster at WrestleMania,
Speaker 2: and there's no other way to describe it other than
Speaker 2: an unmitigated disaster embarrassment. It was embarrassing, especially compared to
Speaker 2: the previous year's main event with WrestleMania forty that I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people absolutely loved. I thought it
Speaker 2: was okay, it was fun nostalgia, but it didn't make
Speaker 2: a lot of sense for like, for example, the Undertaker
Speaker 2: to show up last year, It's like, what does he
Speaker 2: have to do with anything, you know? And what's his
Speaker 2: beef with the Rock?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: From Wrestlemanta forty. But you go from that main event
Speaker 2: being critically playing to the absolute complete polar opposite of
Speaker 2: this year wrestling maybe to forty one to Night two,
Speaker 2: and I think WW looks at this as a redo mulligan.
Speaker 2: They look at this as a hey, how can we
Speaker 2: make this good? How can we do this the way
Speaker 2: we maybe should have? And that's part of it. And
Speaker 2: do they dare have the Rock show up this time?
Speaker 2: Perhaps there's a chance. Am I predicting it? No, but
Speaker 2: I'm I'm still gonna be thinking it, and we all are.
Speaker 2: Even if you think, even if you are a believer
Speaker 2: that the Rocks on the show up nonsense. Once the
Speaker 2: match gets to the end and the ref takes a bump,
Speaker 2: Even if the ref doesn't take a bump, I don't know,
Speaker 2: he doesn't need to because it's a street fight. When
Speaker 2: things are down and it looks like maybe John Cena
Speaker 2: or Cody Roads is about to win, you know you're
Speaker 2: gonna be thinking, is he here? Damn it, damnit? Is
Speaker 2: he here? Maybe? And we're all gonna be thinking it.
Speaker 2: We're human, we're wrestling fans. So that is possibility. I'm
Speaker 2: still not gonna predict it, but it's in there. So
Speaker 2: if that doesn't happen, then what happens? Who shows up?
Speaker 2: Who does somebody show up? Or is it straight up?
Speaker 2: And is this a double turn that a lot of
Speaker 2: us have been talking about and hearing about. Is it
Speaker 2: gonna be a Cody Rhods turn? Possibly, But here's the
Speaker 2: ultimate result. I do believe Cody Roads wins. They have
Speaker 2: to after so many retentions and a lot of these
Speaker 2: retentions I talked about with the women's World Championship, the
Speaker 2: Woen's Inner Continental Championship, the men's the United States Championship,
Speaker 2: the women's uh well not the women's tag team, the
Speaker 2: win's sac team I actually predicted would have a change there.
Speaker 2: I think the unaspeitted Championship, ending the night on a
Speaker 2: note that is gonna be talked about. Having Cody Roads
Speaker 2: win make sense for a lot of reasons, not just
Speaker 2: if Dwayne shows up or not. Regardless, they're gonna make
Speaker 2: good on WrestleMania, have a better match than WrestleMania. No
Speaker 2: travel Scott, for the love of God, unless he's there
Speaker 2: to be put through a flaming table with thumb tacks underneath.
Speaker 2: And then you have Cody Rhoads take the belt off
Speaker 2: of John Cena, who is also retiring in a couple
Speaker 2: of months, and I shouldn't say a couple like four months,
Speaker 2: four and a half months ish, John Sene is gonna
Speaker 2: be retiring, and then that we don't have to worry
Speaker 2: about it anymore. And it also ends John Cena's he'll run,
Speaker 2: which at this point we are all ready for it
Speaker 2: to be done. It really Cody Rhods winning here makes
Speaker 2: so much sense because it turns johnsena back babyface officially,
Speaker 2: we get to John Cena that we all know and
Speaker 2: love for the last few months, and we can say
Speaker 2: goodbye properly. We have Cody Rhoads back as champion and
Speaker 2: maybe have a more interesting run. You could do a
Speaker 2: turn with Cody, but I wouldn't. I honestly, if I'm
Speaker 2: w W, I wouldn't do it. Yet fans are expecting it,
Speaker 2: It's been rumored. I wouldn't do it when the fans
Speaker 2: are really star ring about it. And it also gives
Speaker 2: us the fans something to talk about and the general
Speaker 2: social media audience, which is pretty much everybody, a chance
Speaker 2: to talk about something big that happened. You think that
Speaker 2: they're gonna want to have the final moment of wrestlem
Speaker 2: or SummerSlam b Hey, Uh yeah, John Cena retained and
Speaker 2: uh you know that's it. No, they're gonna want people buzzing.
Speaker 2: That's how you get people buzz and Cody Roads wins.
Speaker 2: Now how he wins is an interesting question. Does he
Speaker 2: have someone interfere on his behalf? Maybe certainly not gonna
Speaker 2: be seth Rollins. He's going to be involved in Night
Speaker 2: one if if the injury is not legit and it's
Speaker 2: all been a work So I think this is going
Speaker 2: to be a highly entertaining main event, especially compared to
Speaker 2: the previous iteration at WrestleMania just four months ago. So
Speaker 2: this should be fun. And I expect Cody Roads to win.
Speaker 2: And if the Rock shows up, sure he shows up,
Speaker 2: but I'm not counting on it. And if Cody Roads
Speaker 2: just straight up beats John Cena and Johnsen is back
Speaker 2: to being a babyface, hey bam, we're back to where
Speaker 2: we should be, at a kind of a homeostasis, and
Speaker 2: John sena can ride off nicely into the sunset. It'll
Speaker 2: just be interesting to see how his character shifts from
Speaker 2: all the nonsense he's been spewing, all the insults, all
Speaker 2: the abusive relationships stuff, all the insults to the fans,
Speaker 2: goes from that to, oh, I guess I was wrong,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I don't think the fans are
Speaker 2: gonna care, but it'll be interesting to see how he
Speaker 2: navigates that. But Cody Roads should win. I think he's
Speaker 2: a strong favorite. I'd give it like a seventy five
Speaker 2: percent chance. Like Cody Roads retains, If John Cena retains,
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't see the interest in that. I
Speaker 2: don't see the need for that. I think we're all
Speaker 2: ready for Cody Rhodes or really anyone doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be Cody Roads, but like literally anyone take the belt
Speaker 2: off of Scena so we can get back to normal.
Speaker 2: Here we applaud wwe for the heel run. You tried.
Speaker 2: It didn't work out, but we appreciated and were ready
Speaker 2: to just say goodbye to John Cena the right way
Speaker 2: for the next few months. So there you go. There's
Speaker 2: my Summer Slam Night one night, two predictions. Let's get
Speaker 2: quickly to patrons and see what they have to say.
Speaker 2: And let's see let's go to let's see here, Let's
Speaker 2: go to John or Tom. Sorry Tom, Tom, He says
Speaker 2: my thoughts on Seth Rollins good timing, Tom. I do
Speaker 2: think the injury is legitimate. The ending to Seth and
Speaker 2: Knight was awkward, and the fact that Knight doesn't have
Speaker 2: a Summer Slam spot o opponent leads me to believe
Speaker 2: that he was supposed to be Jay's tag team partner
Speaker 2: while Roman fought Seth or some combination of that. My
Speaker 2: suspicions line the fact that if this were long term,
Speaker 2: like an ACL tear, we'd know the time table by now,
Speaker 2: and the fact Paul Haman has said there three weeks
Speaker 2: in a row now that Seth will be out a
Speaker 2: really really long time. Well, to translate in Paul Hammond speak,
Speaker 2: that means he won't be out that long. My hunch
Speaker 2: is he probably sprained his MCL, which is about a
Speaker 2: one to two month injury, which means he's probably not
Speaker 2: far off from being at full strength. Here's my theory.
Speaker 2: Seth comes out at Night one with the briefcase. Punk
Speaker 2: is distracted, think he's going to cash in. Gun Thro
Speaker 2: takes advantage, pins Punk, and retains. Seth never cashes in
Speaker 2: because everyone assumes he's still too hurt. Plus's main goal
Speaker 2: isn't to win the title, but to keep Punk from
Speaker 2: winning it. But Night two, Cody beats Sena, and after
Speaker 2: the match, Seth rollins comes out, hits Cody with his crutches,
Speaker 2: tosses them aside, cashes in, and then pins Cody for
Speaker 2: the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship. Just like Naomi cashes in on
Speaker 2: the title. Just like Naomi, Seth cashes in on the
Speaker 2: title that nobody thought of. Again, I mean, I just
Speaker 2: said that Cody won't probably have to worry about Seth.
Speaker 2: But you're right, I mean, I just I have issues.
Speaker 2: Didn't they say specifically that they have to whoever wins
Speaker 2: the briefcase has to cash him on the championships on
Speaker 2: their brand. I thought that was a thing not just implied,
Speaker 2: but I thought it was explicit, like it was actually
Speaker 2: said by the announcers or the GM's somebody. But if
Speaker 2: that's not the case, then clearly it's not because Naomi
Speaker 2: did it. Then yeah, I mean it's another option, certainly
Speaker 2: another option, and looms large if Seth does what you're
Speaker 2: talking about and he's not injured. So a lot of
Speaker 2: ips here. If Seth's not injured, If that's the plan
Speaker 2: where he comes in just to screw Seth or I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: just to screw Punk and then cashes in a night too,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of ifs. There's like three levels of ifs.
Speaker 2: Then I'm cool with that. I really have no problem
Speaker 2: with that. But it does muddy the water here because
Speaker 2: then where does Seth go back to SmackDown? I don't
Speaker 2: think that's gonna happen because it's different for the women's championship.
Speaker 2: With the men's Championship their top belt at the undisputed title.
Speaker 2: It gets a little muddy. You have Seth on Raw
Speaker 2: doing a nice job with Brown Break and Bronson read.
Speaker 2: You have Naomi, who is not part of a group.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have to be attached to anybody. She's kind
Speaker 2: of a lone wolf right now. She transferred to Raw,
Speaker 2: But what are you gonna have all three members of
Speaker 2: the Seths group transfer? It gets weird. So I don't
Speaker 2: think that'll happen, but I appreciate it because it's certainly possible.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Tom. Okay, let's talk to Let's talk to Matt.
Speaker 2: He's been a huge wrestling fan and for decades he
Speaker 2: joins the podcast the commentary and your honest opinion of
Speaker 2: his stories and wrestlers, most of the time in line
Speaker 2: with what I'm thinking. That's good. Hey, it's nice to
Speaker 2: hear people sometimes agree with me, despite the fact that
Speaker 2: I certainly piss off a lot of people, and I
Speaker 2: don't do it purposefully. It just as you said, I
Speaker 2: just give it straight. I mean, I give it straight
Speaker 2: and if people like it, cool, If they don't, don't
Speaker 2: you know, so cool. All right, here we go the
Speaker 2: Women's tag team Champions the Judgment Day versus Bliss and Flair.
Speaker 2: You're gonna give this one to Bliss and Flair. Okay,
Speaker 2: I agreed earlier. Randy Orton and Jelly versus Logan, Paul
Speaker 2: and Drew. You're gonna give the one to Drew and Logan.
Speaker 2: But after they win, they're going to continue to attack
Speaker 2: Jelly Roll and then Orton will come to his aid
Speaker 2: and clear the ring for the moral victory. Dom will retain,
Speaker 2: but not fairly. Naomi will retain. Jacob Fatu will win
Speaker 2: the championship back. Sammy's Ain will win, but I think
Speaker 2: he'll go overboard with and hit Cross with the pipe,
Speaker 2: cementing Cross's point and beginning his heel turn. Interesting. Interesting, Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's cool too. I'm fine with whatever this comes. Whatever
Speaker 2: the purpose of this matches with Sammy's Ain and carrying Cross,
Speaker 2: if it's just beyond or it has to be beyond. Hey, oh,
Speaker 2: I want to prove that I'm right. You're gonna say
Speaker 2: I'm right. That's such a just a soft reason to fight.
Speaker 2: But I like that if it's the point of making
Speaker 2: a slow heel turn for Sammy, then I'm fine with
Speaker 2: the two. Sammy hasn't been a heeling quite a while.
Speaker 2: Gunther will retain, but from interfewpearance, my guess is from
Speaker 2: Lesner ooh mm hmm brock Lesnar. Huh, I didn't even
Speaker 2: mention him. I don't think brock Lester's appearing, but it's possible.
Speaker 2: If brock Lesner appears, he's gonna have to be in
Speaker 2: some kind of it's gonna have to be to come
Speaker 2: face to face with Paul Hayman. I would think, not
Speaker 2: to screw Paul Hayman, but just to see the dynamic
Speaker 2: of having, you know, brock Lesner now coming face to
Speaker 2: face who used to be so close with Hayman. And
Speaker 2: then there's the Wise Man and Roman Reigns, and then
Speaker 2: you also have Seth and the Oracle. Paul Hammon has
Speaker 2: been many things to many people, so it would be
Speaker 2: a cool kind of moment. But I don't think Lesner
Speaker 2: is gonna return. Tiffty Stratton will retain. Let's see, Cody
Speaker 2: Rhodes will win the belt back with interference. My call
Speaker 2: is the rock and Sina will start to turn baby
Speaker 2: face while Cody goes heel. Okay, I'm taking Roman Reigns
Speaker 2: and Jay who said to win. But if Seth's injury
Speaker 2: is real and he doesn't show up, I'm calling a
Speaker 2: Roman reigns. He'll turn to side with Paul Braun and
Speaker 2: Bronson and he turns on Jay after the win. Wow,
Speaker 2: a lot of heel turns going on for you. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're ready to turn Roman back heel. I mean,
Speaker 2: he was heeled for what five years, and the fans
Speaker 2: got it out of their system. I don't think that
Speaker 2: they're ready to turn it. I mean they're making They're
Speaker 2: printing money with Roman reigns. They are printing cash. They
Speaker 2: have printing presses in the back. Every time Roman Reigns appears,
Speaker 2: they just the machines just start up in print money.
Speaker 2: The amount of merch he's moving. He's a true needle mover,
Speaker 2: he is a ratings mover. He is he's at that
Speaker 2: point now. So I don't think they're ready to turn
Speaker 2: him heel. That would be counterproductive to just money, I
Speaker 2: mean just their profit margins. I think he would have
Speaker 2: some effect on that. All right, let's talk to Matt
Speaker 2: Kay from Toronto. He says, still listen all the time.
Speaker 2: You guys doing a great job. Well, thank you. Here
Speaker 2: we go one Hogan. The building of pro wrestling as
Speaker 2: a global brand had a lot to do with him,
Speaker 2: and I respect that Hulk Hogan. His promotional and Mike
Speaker 2: work was top notch, and his n ring skills sucked.
Speaker 2: Terry Bleyo was a scumbag. In my humble opinion. Enuff said, hey,
Speaker 2: well look regardless, and I keep saying this, regardless of
Speaker 2: what do you think about Terry Bleya. The contributions were
Speaker 2: not Terry Bulaya's contributions. That's the man who played the
Speaker 2: character Hulk Hogan who's in the Hall of Fame, not
Speaker 2: Terry Blaya. Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan. He played a character.
Speaker 2: It may have been an extension of himself, but the
Speaker 2: brand was Hulk Hogan. There are a lot of bad
Speaker 2: people who have played really good, memorable characters on TV
Speaker 2: and in film. Are we supposed to all just negate
Speaker 2: everything they do because well, they said something insensitive twenty
Speaker 2: years ago. No. No, The fact is that they had
Speaker 2: a great performance and they contributed greatly to the industry
Speaker 2: that they're in. That should supersede any naughty things that
Speaker 2: they said several years ago. It doesn't mean you are
Speaker 2: you know that you agree with what they said, that
Speaker 2: you sponsor what they said, that you back up what
Speaker 2: they said. No, you just are able, like an adult,
Speaker 2: to separate the two. You're able to separate his professional
Speaker 2: contributions from his personal flaws. That's it. That's all this
Speaker 2: is about. And people just they don't want to do it,
Speaker 2: or they pretend that they don't know how. It doesn't
Speaker 2: mean that you again that you Oh well, if you
Speaker 2: support Hulk Hogan in any way, the character Hulk Hogan,
Speaker 2: remember then that means that you are you're racist. Connect
Speaker 2: the dots for me there. I'd love to know you
Speaker 2: know the how that all works. It's it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 2: But anybody that thinks like hul Cogan did not have
Speaker 2: major contributions to professional wrestling is just I mean, sorry,
Speaker 2: you're a moron. I'm not saying you, Matt. I'm saying
Speaker 2: just whoever is whoever has that statement, And I've seen
Speaker 2: people say that you're just you're a moron. And I'm
Speaker 2: saying that the most pg way that I possibly can
Speaker 2: on this show. So that's that's my point, is I
Speaker 2: can separate the two, because I'm an adult and anybody
Speaker 2: else that can. It sounds like you can, Matt, and
Speaker 2: I know a lot of other people that have emailed
Speaker 2: me can. That's all we need to do. Doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that that anytime anybody does anything real bad that you
Speaker 2: need to say, oh well, let me look at Chris
Speaker 2: ben wah right, A bit of a different scenario there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we can. We can recognize the contributions of Chris Benoa,
Speaker 2: but that's what he did to his family and to
Speaker 2: himself at the end, it bleeds over. What he did
Speaker 2: is just it's so severe and horrible that it's it's
Speaker 2: almost impossible to untie the two and to complement his
Speaker 2: professional career. It's still it still feels icky to do.
Speaker 2: Despite the fact that you know, you know you can
Speaker 2: separate professional and personal. This one is so severe that
Speaker 2: you know you can't absolve anything that he did and
Speaker 2: even talk about him in any positive light because it's
Speaker 2: just so horrible and horrific of what he did. So again, yeah,
Speaker 2: there are parameters here, but if you're talking about somebody
Speaker 2: saying some naughty words to some people that are pretending
Speaker 2: to be offended, on behalf of other people twenty years ago,
Speaker 2: hit the bricks. I mean, just just race baiting clowns
Speaker 2: again and somebody, oh he's racist. Really, just whatever you
Speaker 2: want to believe, you know, you believe, it's fine. I
Speaker 2: just I don't care, and nobody should care anymore. It's
Speaker 2: all just it's performative. It's performative, Okay. Number two, I
Speaker 2: agree with you that seth Rollins is a work. The
Speaker 2: lad needed time off and developing. Breaker and Reed has
Speaker 2: been awesome. Breakers one hundred percent. The future of heels.
Speaker 2: Both tag team divisions are lukewarm. I mean that that's
Speaker 2: just by default all the time, Matt, I mean always.
Speaker 2: This pairing of Bliss and Flare is great and I
Speaker 2: see what they're doing champions at SummerSlam. For sure. I
Speaker 2: would concur lastly jobbing Chelsea Green sucks. I love Tiffy
Speaker 2: time and Stephanie Vcoor to me is the next female star. Finally,
Speaker 2: Sina as a heel is good and I like you,
Speaker 2: I s despise cr once again. Thank you and cheers
Speaker 2: from Toronto. Go Jays go Well yeah, I mean well
Speaker 2: I don't know about Gojay's go a Yankees fan, but
Speaker 2: I mean yeah, it hasn't been a great season for
Speaker 2: the Yankees in terms of their standards of success. But
Speaker 2: the Blue Jays, I think the Blue Jays are for real.
Speaker 2: You guys. Usually here's what I know. No one and
Speaker 2: no one's here to talk baseball, but I will say,
Speaker 2: since you you said, go Jays, go. The Blue Jays
Speaker 2: historically have been a team that gets out to a
Speaker 2: fast start. They even may be in first place by
Speaker 2: a couple of games by the All Star break, and
Speaker 2: then you're like, all right, man, yeah they're going to
Speaker 2: fall off. And usually you guys fall off a cliff
Speaker 2: and you you, you know, you end the season third
Speaker 2: or fourth into division and you're never really a threat.
Speaker 2: You can win a couple of series, you know, you
Speaker 2: can be a pest. You're never a pushover team because
Speaker 2: you usually have a lot of power pitching, power hitting,
Speaker 2: but you're a pesky team. This year, you guys may
Speaker 2: be for real and you very well win, may win
Speaker 2: the division. Yeah, but I mean we're creeping up a
Speaker 2: little bit. We were back five games, six games. Now
Speaker 2: we're back, you know, three games. So it's like it's
Speaker 2: really anybody's game here. They have fifty some games to go.
Speaker 2: Anybody's division there. There's my baseball analysis for those of
Speaker 2: you that give a damn but thanks.
Speaker 1: All right, all.
Speaker 2: Right, well I think that'll do it. I don't know
Speaker 2: if I have anything else here, let me see if
Speaker 2: I do. I'll check my voicemails. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I have let's check it. No, no voicemails. So I'm
Speaker 2: guessing it's because the day my voicemail and email, you know,
Speaker 2: my mail bag has been pushed up a day because
Speaker 2: of Summer Slam. And I'm also traveling tomorrow, so that's
Speaker 2: also why, which is, you know, a little bit different
Speaker 2: from me on a Friday. But I'll be on X
Speaker 2: during Summer Slam. I'll also try to pop in the
Speaker 2: Patreon side of things on Discord if you want to
Speaker 2: join Discord and join everybody else during the show. It's
Speaker 2: a great place to go to chat live at patreon
Speaker 2: dot com. Slash WWE podcast you can go add free.
Speaker 2: You can also check us out on YouTube. We are
Speaker 2: posting videos more than we ever have, and same with
Speaker 2: our other channel that we do. That's about it's kind
Speaker 2: of creepy stuff, which is real eerie truth that's available
Speaker 2: on Patreon and on YouTube. Creepy stuff. Creepy story is
Speaker 2: real stuff, from ghosts to cryptids to murders.
Speaker 1: You name it.
Speaker 2: So interesting, right, trying to hit all different walks of
Speaker 2: life and talk about other interests I have. So all right,
Speaker 2: thank you everybody. I hope you enjoy Summer Slam. I'll
Speaker 2: try to be back on no I will be back
Speaker 2: on Sunday for sure, if you know. If s hits
Speaker 2: the fan, I will do my best to get a
Speaker 2: show in, but it's going to be difficult because I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna be at my house. I'm at somebody else's house,
Speaker 2: all right, So that means it's gonna have to be
Speaker 2: in a car cutting a show in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night, which I've done. It's not impossible. But I'll
Speaker 2: be probably posting some nostalgia shows from years past, which
Speaker 2: I know some of you enjoy, and I'll be trying
Speaker 2: to post some other new content if I can. But
