Speaker 1: the brotherhood that we all have. You know what I mean.
Speaker 9: You are are for ever an integral part. You know
Speaker 9: what I mean, the light, the laughter, you know, the happiness.
Speaker 9: That's what you bring.

Speaker 3: That don't matter.
Speaker 1: Brother, Look man, Shout out to Vincage, shout out to Ready,
Speaker 1: who's coming.
Speaker 9: We just looked at you. This is the best show
Speaker 9: of the year, the best awards show.
Speaker 1: I gotta say I've tapped into a couple of people's
Speaker 1: the Best of twenty twenty four podcast.
Speaker 3: You know, no shade, they all suck, But.
Speaker 1: Us, being who we are, are here to provide high
Speaker 1: quality entertainment as we do these picks. What podcast do
Speaker 1: you know that has really no clear definition of who winning?
Speaker 1: Who are the winners of these awards?
Speaker 3: All the miscommunication, it's honestly what we do best.
Speaker 1: So this is what I propose. This is what I
Speaker 1: proposed To make the show as fun and as interesting
Speaker 1: and possible, we all say who we think won from
Speaker 1: our perspective. And then we vote on who won the
Speaker 1: award based on all of our picks.
Speaker 3: This sounds like a trap, but I feel.
Speaker 9: It sounds like you you know which were you about
Speaker 9: to win?
Speaker 3: Buddy, I do know what your ward about the way.
Speaker 3: That is terrible.
Speaker 8: Bro.
Speaker 3: All right, go ahead, man, we get now?
Speaker 1: Or should we wait for for young Chas to get
Speaker 1: into the building.

Speaker 14: not here, we'll jump right into it.
Speaker 3: How about that? Well he got it to when we
Speaker 3: usually start.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes. In the meantime, what we can do is
Speaker 1: kind to brush over.
Speaker 3: Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I've seen too many biases from you guys. What biases
Speaker 1: we haven't even said nothing?
Speaker 2: He ready, chapelle.

Speaker 9: So World's end already in the books.
Speaker 1: Overall, gentleman, what do you think about the preview? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It was a good closing pay
Speaker 1: per view for a W.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was a good It was for wrestling for
Speaker 7: the last the last p l E of the year.
Speaker 7: Just overall, it was a good card, good grabs, you know,
Speaker 7: a W. They do a good job of the speed
Speaker 7: of the matches, so it's not a lot of you know,
Speaker 7: waiting around.
Speaker 4: And then yes, you know, we get they know what wrestling.
Speaker 7: Fans want far as an alternative, and I know I've
Speaker 7: been hard on them.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not wrong something wrong, No no, no,
Speaker 3: not the guy, the guy, the guy that wants they
Speaker 3: break the bat.
Speaker 4: Okay, but.
Speaker 7: The a W do a great job of, you know,
Speaker 7: having a good alternative to what you of the mainstream
Speaker 7: wrestling isn't a good a good graft of you know,
Speaker 7: pure wrestling, if you will, so overall from from the
Speaker 7: from the top to the bottom, and it was a
Speaker 7: good car, great car.
Speaker 9: Yeah, overall the Continental Classic, you know, I mean obviously
Speaker 9: the selling point the two semi finals Big Bill Will
Speaker 9: and Kyle Orton against and then you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: Ricochet and Okada. We have not talked about Trevor in
Speaker 9: the last couple of weeks since yeah, we never did
Speaker 9: a show during the Hammerstein Ballroom shows.
Speaker 4: Trevor Tate, h Trevor Tate on Twitter day, he's doing.
Speaker 3: That just he was, he was on his bullshit and
Speaker 3: I'll mean I wasn't. I'll be honest. I wasn't a
Speaker 3: hundred percent like mad. I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3: It's wild to out here retweeting Andrew Tate, but like,
Speaker 3: character wise, I don't think he was doing like I
Speaker 3: like this dumb ass ship that he doing, like he's
Speaker 3: just feeding into If you already got a bunch of
Speaker 3: people that liking you, and you already seen the fans
Speaker 3: that like you, why not just feed into it. Don't know,
Speaker 3: he ain't had to go over the edge doing some
Speaker 3: MG f shit like him. But other than that, I
Speaker 3: feel like he did a good job with it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, low talk to me, man, But what do you
Speaker 1: think about bitch ass Trump?
Speaker 8: Yo? Bro, that's ship. So y'all know what I like.
Speaker 11: Y'all know what I get into the moment that the
Speaker 11: toilet paper came out, it became like battle.
Speaker 1: At It was gorgeous, gorgeous.
Speaker 8: He lifted his soul up.
Speaker 11: And so now I'm really curious to see, like you know,
Speaker 11: And one thing I'm really just kind of curious about
Speaker 11: also is that within this whole like ricochet shit, right,
Speaker 11: Like what's.
Speaker 8: Really going on?
Speaker 11: Is he having a he is he is he enjoying
Speaker 11: his wrestling? Is he just is he just leaning into
Speaker 11: this ship?
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: Like for television purposes, but overall I'm entertained by it.
Speaker 11: I kind of feel a little bad for the guy sometimes.
Speaker 11: But that's why my curiosity is, that's my curiosity be
Speaker 11: a little turned because it's like, yo, like is this
Speaker 11: guy you know what I mean? Like what's going on?
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: Like, but I'm I'm very entertained. I'm definitely ready to
Speaker 11: see him and swerves shake ship.
Speaker 8: You know what? I mean, you know, beginning of the.
Speaker 11: Year, and I think, like I don't know, and I'm
Speaker 11: I'm having a lot of debates right now, Like it's
Speaker 11: I'm talking to a lot of pro Ricochet people in
Speaker 11: my life, you know, I you know, only only but
Speaker 11: so much, right, not too much, That's very true. Definitely
Speaker 11: don't feel definitely don't feel bad for him in his
Speaker 11: personal life at all.
Speaker 8: You know what I mean.
Speaker 11: More power to that brother, you know what I mean,
Speaker 11: And and and that on that avenue, right, But when
Speaker 11: it just comes to in the Ring and just I
Speaker 11: mean a little bit outside like some of this ship
Speaker 11: with the promo, like why is he laughing like that?
Speaker 8: At who told him to do that? Was that his idea?
Speaker 8: I'm very entertained, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: But I just think that the ship in the Ring
Speaker 11: gonna be what it is, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: But I did really appreciate what Surve had to say
Speaker 11: about bro like like you were saying that like without us,
Speaker 11: like and I think that he shouldn't have said that ship.
Speaker 11: He never should have said nothing about like without without me,
Speaker 11: it's no a w type Like I think that was
Speaker 11: very undignified.
Speaker 8: And so yeah, he had, he had.
Speaker 11: He had he you know, he went he went into
Speaker 11: business hisself with that and he had to eat that
Speaker 11: ship last night. But you know, I think that the
Speaker 11: check is probably good, you know, but I just I
Speaker 11: just wonder about the guy sometimes at this point.
Speaker 9: Let me tell you, let me tell you. This is
Speaker 9: like this, you know, I mean Christmas gifts, right, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean? I started all this right, this

Speaker 9: I said, this.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be fun. This is gonna be good, man,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good. It's gonna be good.
Speaker 9: So we're gonna go through the categories like I said,
Speaker 9: the rules are, we will announce who we originally picked,
Speaker 9: and then we will vote to solidify who has won.
Speaker 1: In agreement.
Speaker 3: We're good. Yes, first award Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 9: Now Rookie of the Year does not necessarily mean the
Speaker 9: person just started wrestling this year. Rookie of the Year
Speaker 9: means that this was probably their their either their breakout
Speaker 9: year or the like I said, they you know, one
Speaker 9: of the young gunners that are going into twenty twenty
Speaker 9: five of a lot of momental So my pick for
Speaker 9: Rookie of the Year was Jada Parker.
Speaker 1: Jada Parker.
Speaker 9: I feel, like I said, I think we tend to
Speaker 9: forget Jada Parker just debuted in February, right, so I
Speaker 9: think for the year, for the year she has had,
Speaker 9: I just I can't see anybody being better. You know,
Speaker 9: there was a couple of people that I had originally,
Speaker 9: but my pick Jada Parker, it's.
Speaker 8: A good pick.
Speaker 7: I ocur I had to put my I had to
Speaker 7: put the tares on for that one, because that's women
Speaker 7: of the Chicken Dinner.
Speaker 4: Now, uh Jata Parker.
Speaker 3: When right now he said, nobody know what else matters,
Speaker 3: it's j Parker rookie.
Speaker 7: I mean, look, she can't look. I went to the
Speaker 7: barber shop. Dude was like, hey, bro, you don't watch
Speaker 7: I know you watched wrestling. I was like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 7: you know I watched wrestling little podcast and he's trying
Speaker 7: to get on.
Speaker 4: I was like, fuck no.
Speaker 7: In my head, he was like, hey, brother, it's some wrestlers.
Speaker 7: I'm going to show you that I've been watching first man,
Speaker 7: Jada Parker. I was like, okay, yeah, bro, you tapped in.
Speaker 7: But he was talking about her way and he wasn't
Speaker 7: really respecting the Graps too much. He was looking at
Speaker 7: a whole bunch of other ship. But I understand. I
Speaker 7: understand that, man. But that's part of the reason why I.
Speaker 4: Put that Rookie of the Year too.
Speaker 7: She gravitating to a different audience and bringing them to
Speaker 7: to to wrestling.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. She already have a mainstream appeal.
Speaker 7: We're not even being top in the underground aspect of wrestling.
Speaker 4: So with that being said, that's why I put with
Speaker 4: Jada Parker.
Speaker 2: I feel you.
Speaker 3: I feel you, so I'm not gonna lie. I totally
Speaker 3: forgot that Jada Parker only debut to February, but I
Speaker 3: went with Javon Evans as my pick for it. I
Speaker 3: think he's had also a very good, amazing first year
Speaker 3: up in the in the n x T. He's he's
Speaker 3: been able to be put in big spots. He has
Speaker 3: delivered in every single time that they have put him
Speaker 3: in a star moment. Uh, start making categories or anything
Speaker 3: situations and yeah, I see nothing but the sky is
Speaker 3: the living for the kid.
Speaker 8: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Oh sorry, Uh, I was like, what are you.
Speaker 2: I too?
Speaker 17: When Javon Evans again, I wish I would have asked
Speaker 17: about certain like a certain category as far as like
Speaker 17: what are we considering rookies or breakouts? Because I think
Speaker 17: we all probably shade up With that being said, Javon
Speaker 17: Evans is not a solid pick at all. He came
Speaker 17: out of nowhere essentially like he was doing his thing
Speaker 17: on level up. But once he came out of know
Speaker 17: once he got that spark and it started to catch on,
Speaker 17: the sky was a limit.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 17: He rarely misses and whatever whoever the opponent has been,
Speaker 17: whatever match there has been, he's found a way to
Speaker 17: step up. Even when he had that little, you know,
Speaker 17: little mistake with ro O you could barely tell. You
Speaker 17: just thought it was a part of the match. And
Speaker 17: that's how good he truly is and not just us.
Speaker 17: But you know what I mean, the O G's believing
Speaker 17: him too. You don't just get matches with Randy Yorton
Speaker 17: on a random you know what I mean, Tuesday, You
Speaker 17: know what I'm saying, So stuff like that. You see
Speaker 17: he's getting the rubs, you see he's getting the bumps.
Speaker 17: I think Scott hit the nail on the head perfectly.
Speaker 17: If we talk about just a flaw we had to find,
Speaker 17: is that if once he hones into how to slow
Speaker 17: down how they might work the match you I mean
Speaker 17: in the ring psychology and figure that out and still
Speaker 17: be able to use the speed when it's called for it,
Speaker 17: it's not gonna be too much you can do with them.
Speaker 2: Obviously.
Speaker 17: You know, his personality is gonna carry him through promo,
Speaker 17: wives and things like that. But that's only gonna get better.
Speaker 17: You can tell he's a student of the game. He
Speaker 17: really wants to learn how to be one than one.
Speaker 17: So yeah, this guy's are living for this guy, and
Speaker 17: it's only gonna get more bouncy than ever for that motherfucker.
Speaker 1: I see what you did that?
Speaker 8: Ah that?
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 11: Absolutely, And uh, all of these are like, you know,
Speaker 11: appreciate all your selections. Definitely love me some young miss
Speaker 11: Parker Ball, don'no. But you know, on on both areas, right,
Speaker 11: because I heard Max was saying that, you know, the
Speaker 11: guys in the barbershop, excellent wrestler she is, you.
Speaker 8: Know, I mean, I definitely want to, you know, give
Speaker 8: her you know, those flowers here verbally.
Speaker 11: But my selection also went to the young og, Javon Evans.
Speaker 11: I've been following Javon for some time, as you know,
Speaker 11: as as everybody here and you know from Greensboro, North Carolina.
Speaker 11: Twenty year old you know what I mean, done amazing
Speaker 11: things in DPW.
Speaker 8: Shout out to day of.
Speaker 11: Locke pro and all the guys down North Carolina. Even
Speaker 11: a fire star as well. This year twenty twenty four
Speaker 11: right Pwy five hundred, he was number ninety five, right,
Speaker 11: And so I think that when I think about Javon Evans, right,
Speaker 11: I'm not making a direct comparison with other people, but
Speaker 11: I think about other people in.
Speaker 8: Their breakout era, right, who came through n XT.
Speaker 11: And not only people that just like went to the
Speaker 11: went to the performance center, right, but like actual talents
Speaker 11: who we know now that are like that were pure
Speaker 11: students of the game, right, Like we've seen these people
Speaker 11: have footage like basically like like remember that time, like
Speaker 11: we saw Kevin Owens at like a w WW event
Speaker 11: or like Bailey or like these like really like these
Speaker 11: people right who were kids at one point who really
Speaker 11: appreciated this game. I think they showed it like a
Speaker 11: picture of Javin at some point when we were younger,
Speaker 11: with like titles in hndrum and all of that. And
Speaker 11: he reminds me of that, right, like a Kevin Owens type,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, by the time he comes
Speaker 11: to his breakout moment, Like I think that we can
Speaker 11: all say that like when Kevin Owens was doing his
Speaker 11: thing at NXT, he got called up and beat seen
Speaker 11: it like he pretty much was like Rookie of the
Speaker 11: Year then, right, or like at least like breakout person
Speaker 11: of the year. So Javine is kind of be given
Speaker 11: those those vibes to me like at this moment, and
Speaker 11: I think that, you know, it's probably gonna be a
Speaker 11: while right before we get an actual call up, right,
Speaker 11: it's you know, his kid got many moons to still
Speaker 11: pick this thing up at n XT, but again really
Speaker 11: bright future, you know, shooting up the PW I like
Speaker 11: every year and the Yeah.
Speaker 8: So that's definitely my pick young with g Jovon.
Speaker 1: Eves so based on proxy Javon Evans three to three
Speaker 1: over two, he beats Jada Parker. Javon Evans is the
Speaker 1: BGW Rookie of the Year. I don't agree, but.
Speaker 4: This is what we do, ja everybody.
Speaker 18: That's what I'm saying, man, Like, that's what I was assuming.
Speaker 18: But I guess. I guess three of the brothers up
Speaker 18: here don't care for Jedi Parker. And that's okay, Oh wow,
Speaker 18: Oh that's what we're doing.
Speaker 13: Okay, I got I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Say that time at the Grammy's his little Wodie had
Speaker 8: the him on him. That's that's chairs. And they got
Speaker 8: a gun. You got his gun at the awards.
Speaker 2: That's crazy, man, I just got hit.
Speaker 9: Is a great, great pict But is it fair to
Speaker 9: throw over Femi in there? I keep forgetting that over
Speaker 9: Femi is technically a workie.
Speaker 4: I thought.
Speaker 3: I thought. I thought that this was like year two.
Speaker 3: So that's why I didn't pick him. He he was
Speaker 3: so good.
Speaker 7: That it seemed like he was already like two three
Speaker 7: years in all his life.
Speaker 4: What I'm saying, but good, good evaluation.
Speaker 9: I was about to say something about, oh yeah, Obafemi
Speaker 9: is as far as like how how he hasn't been
Speaker 9: in the business that long. If Opa Femi was to
Speaker 9: win the world title on Raw tomorrow night, I'd be
Speaker 9: completely happy, like it would even be What about being
Speaker 9: the slightest, slightest, I'd like, damn he ended good thing
Speaker 9: like that as he should most improve, most improved, meaning
Speaker 9: that in twenty twenty four, the person that we chose
Speaker 9: showed out from how they were originally were in January
Speaker 9: to where they are right now. My pick obviously the
Speaker 9: proto star Kyle Fletcher. When Kyle Fletcher started January, my
Speaker 9: anticipation was by the time we get to the end
Speaker 9: of the year, Ozzie Opened going to be back in business,
Speaker 9: probably get the tag team titles shortly. In twenty twenty five,
Speaker 9: I never would have thought in a million years Kyle
Speaker 9: Fletcher would be lotted where he is right now.
Speaker 3: Keep in mind, you saw the flashes of.
Speaker 9: Brilliance of him right I still remember that incredible match
Speaker 9: he had with Lee Johnson rigavanner Mania Weekend. A couple
Speaker 9: of weeks later, he had an amazing two out of
Speaker 9: three falls with Lee Johnson, and then I think people
Speaker 9: also forget Will Ostbury's second match in aw was Kyle Fletcher, right,
Speaker 9: So it's like you see the flashes of brilliance. Then
Speaker 9: he links with Don Kallas, shaves his head becomes Randy Orton,
Speaker 9: and that he does not look back at all.
Speaker 2: You feel me.
Speaker 9: The two matches he has now had with Will Ostbury
Speaker 9: are in my book aw classics. His performance in the
Speaker 9: Continent a classic. He only lost once and that was
Speaker 9: to Mark Briscoe. But just that run in itself, and
Speaker 9: keep in mind the loss from last night, I don't
Speaker 9: even think hurts him even in the slightest If anything,
Speaker 9: I see him beating Will in the eventual rubber match.
Speaker 9: So as far for me, Kyle Fletcher is the most
Speaker 9: improved twenty twenty four.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with solo secoid mm so based off
Speaker 7: of you know he you know, he was coming trying
Speaker 7: to get his foot in. He was trying to get
Speaker 7: his footing in, you know at the beginning of the year.
Speaker 7: You know under underneath like his family or whatever, but
Speaker 7: he was he was giving a task from somebody that
Speaker 7: didn't talk to somebody to had to adopt somebody else's
Speaker 7: personality to move a character. And then we have to
Speaker 7: adopt that personality and then make it his own and
Speaker 7: then all so having the New Blood line as a
Speaker 7: top hell, everybody knows when everybody knows when when you
Speaker 7: get back with the New DX. You remember when they
Speaker 7: tried to do DX, when it was just an X
Speaker 7: Pop and the New Age Outlaws. It didn't have that
Speaker 7: same flag, It didn't have that same umph that it
Speaker 7: did when it had Triple X when Sean was the
Speaker 7: leader of it. But this New bloodline, it still had
Speaker 7: that appeal, mainly, you know with the cheap code that
Speaker 7: having room and still around the store and having.
Speaker 4: Room and in there.
Speaker 8: I get it.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, he did not drop the ball.
Speaker 7: So I'm gonna go with solo scort.
Speaker 1: You know, one time for the man, the legend himself,
Speaker 1: Brian H. Waters. Big salute. If you get a chance,
Speaker 1: go listen to the incredible locker Room and lead episode
Speaker 1: Fantastic vibes, you know what I mean. Also, special shout
Speaker 1: out to us. It's for you wrestling podcasts, great brothers
Speaker 1: over there.
Speaker 3: I do love that.
Speaker 1: I do love that. That's so big. I do.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 8: That's That's a good.
Speaker 3: Because I about to say, man, he is like I
Speaker 3: know there was people that were like down on him
Speaker 3: as no woa whoa, whoa whoa Yeah, med Y, No,
Speaker 3: you slander the most on this podcast. You had to
Speaker 3: come in here.
Speaker 1: Hold on say that one more time that it was you.
Speaker 3: Pink shirt no lo Cowboys fan. Yeah, okay, okay, this
Speaker 3: is cool. This is this is the Bully no Hour.
Speaker 3: I feel that's.
Speaker 2: Jazz.
Speaker 3: That's right, he point, Thank you ship man. Both of
Speaker 3: those picks are great and I appreciate both of them
Speaker 3: because they can absolutely both. All of them have done
Speaker 3: their thing. I went with last legend. I feel like
Speaker 3: that last legend every time that she has been brought
Speaker 3: up to fill a spot, the fill of role, that
Speaker 3: she knocks it out the park. She when she first started,
Speaker 3: they had her just doing the talk show, just doing
Speaker 3: her thing backstage, being a personality.
Speaker 2: But the more that they gave.
Speaker 3: Her inside the ring and also teaming her up with Jakara,
Speaker 3: like they have done everything and knocked it out the
Speaker 3: park every single time their spot, their their match, when
Speaker 3: they had their joint at a crowd jewel amazing, when
Speaker 3: they had the four way match, four way tag team match,
Speaker 3: when she filled in for Jade at the j got
Speaker 3: knocked out the paint, knock that out the Park as well.
Speaker 3: I feel I see nothing of the big things for
Speaker 3: the last legend when it is her time to have
Speaker 3: more single success and take that NFT championship at some point,
Speaker 3: I think it'd be an excellent choice to do.
Speaker 1: So good, pick good, pick.
Speaker 2: Beautiful.
Speaker 3: She is hilarious.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, have y'all seen her her cooking show?
Speaker 3: Yes, uh to.
Speaker 17: Your television programmer, I went, I went Naya Jackson for
Speaker 17: my pig.
Speaker 3: That's a great pick.
Speaker 17: If there was somebody who I mean, the the I mean, yeah,
Speaker 17: we all know that the stigma, the trope, the id
Speaker 17: R was that she was reckless. She she didn't have
Speaker 17: you know, that many moves, if she was a big.
Speaker 2: Body, X, Y and Z.
Speaker 17: You know everything was said about it on her son
Speaker 17: and the fact that she didn't try to run from
Speaker 17: the grind.
Speaker 2: She didn't try to run from it.
Speaker 17: She took the time necessary to say, all right, I'm
Speaker 17: gonna put this work in, and not only that, I'm
Speaker 17: gonna come back to where you can't. There's nothing you
Speaker 17: can say about me, there's nothing you can do with me.
Speaker 17: You're just gonna have to accept what I am and
Speaker 17: she did.
Speaker 19: I I.
Speaker 17: Would have never thought naiajac would have broke out the
Speaker 17: way she did this year, I would have. I didn't
Speaker 17: see it because again I had I there was nothing
Speaker 17: for me to believe that she was gonna do the work,
Speaker 17: and she did. So I want to apologize to her
Speaker 17: because she heard the criticisms, she heard the gripes, and again,
Speaker 17: just when you're around greatness.
Speaker 2: As I am with four beautiful black brothers, you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
Speaker 17: You you don't want to feel like you're not carrying
Speaker 17: You're You're part of the deal. You're part of the package.
Speaker 17: She's a part of that that you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: Hawaiian Blue. She's a part of that, that tradition, and
Speaker 17: she's seen so many people in her family be great,
Speaker 17: so I'm pretty sure for her it was like, all right, I.
Speaker 2: Have a legacy to live up to. I can't let
Speaker 2: this go to waste.
Speaker 17: And so she went away, did what she needed to do,
Speaker 17: and now she became a main event player. So now
Speaker 17: when you see her winning King of the Ring, see
Speaker 17: excuse me, Queen of the Ring, it's not like a shocker.
Speaker 17: It's like, all right, you know what I mean? It
Speaker 17: makes sense because you put the work in so you know,
Speaker 17: my hat goes off to her because she did she
Speaker 17: heard the noise and she and she put the work.
Speaker 8: In really good pictures, really excellent pic.
Speaker 11: I want to take this opportunity to uh move toward
Speaker 11: our black Indie folks for this award. Now, when determining
Speaker 11: who I wanted to select for most Improved, I wanted
Speaker 11: to kind of provide a caveat if that's okay. I know,
Speaker 11: the most improved is sometimes an award that has a
Speaker 11: certain like, it has a standard of like understanding, like
Speaker 11: the way we understand this award, who it should be
Speaker 11: given to, why they're receiving it, right, But I just
Speaker 11: kind of want to push the understanding of this particular
Speaker 11: award for a minute because of the individual who I
Speaker 11: think is the most improved in twenty twenty four, and
Speaker 11: for me, that is the seven mister Darius Carter. So
Speaker 11: the reason why I would like to highlight him right
Speaker 11: now is because there's Carter is a veteran in this industry.
Speaker 8: He is I.
Speaker 11: Think somewhat a master of it, right. I don't you
Speaker 11: know their students in the their's masters. I think there's
Speaker 11: some forever students, but I think his mastery shows.
Speaker 8: Up a lot more. And that's like primary granted, And.
Speaker 11: I don't want to use the p w I twenty
Speaker 11: twenty four as like the grand metric for why I'm
Speaker 11: deciding what in a few of our categories. But from
Speaker 11: his twenty twenty three spot, he actually dropped down I
Speaker 11: think seven spots he's in around that absolutely, absolutely, Brian,
Speaker 11: he's in that like one fifty excuse me, he's in
Speaker 11: that like one forty to like one fifty five. Uh,
Speaker 11: in that neighborhood. He's been in that neighborhood in the
Speaker 11: PWY in like the last two or three years, I believe.
Speaker 11: But he actually dropped down. But the cats I see
Speaker 11: in front of him, you know, it's it's okay, right,
Speaker 11: Like Billy Starks is in front of him, Myron Reed,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean?
Speaker 8: Who we who we've had up here.
Speaker 11: But the reason I wanted to select him is because
Speaker 11: you know, number one, right, I shay wrestling right, shout
Speaker 11: out to our brothers and sisters.
Speaker 8: Him in that.
Speaker 11: Title solidified I think who he is to us in
Speaker 11: the you know, in the black I w C if
Speaker 11: I may, And for me being a person who like
Speaker 11: in certain instances like and I'm gonna say it up here,
Speaker 11: like you know certain people like you know, oh my God,
Speaker 11: shout out to Billy.
Speaker 8: Shout out to Darius.
Speaker 11: But in a lot of instances, it's just like, man, like,
Speaker 11: when is this dude Carter gonna fall?
Speaker 8: And I think he's.
Speaker 11: I think, like like right now, like especially going into
Speaker 11: next year, like his his one percentage is gonna be
Speaker 11: way higher. You did what I'm saying because I'm even
Speaker 11: on the Internet Wrestling database right now is looking at
Speaker 11: some of his winning percentages and things like that, like
Speaker 11: he's next level. I think that he's ready for television.
Speaker 11: I think that he's ready for a lot of other things.
Speaker 11: But he's always pushing the boundaries, right, I see you
Speaker 11: know Natural Hill that Brian said, Like he's pushing what
Speaker 11: it means to beat these things. He's pushing what it
Speaker 11: means to get better in independent professional wrestling right and
Speaker 11: potentially hopefully on TV one day, because it's certain things
Speaker 11: I'm seeing from him that I'm not even saying from
Speaker 11: certain cats on television.
Speaker 8: You dig what I'm saying.
Speaker 11: So for me, him winning the ISHA Championship again, like
Speaker 11: I said, he dropped down in the PWY the current
Speaker 11: Recombination Wrestling Champion and the ECWA champion. My most improved
Speaker 11: of twenty twenty four is the seven mister Deres Carter.
Speaker 8: First question as Oh.
Speaker 11: No, I was.
Speaker 1: All I wanted to say was a shout out to
Speaker 1: my man Marks with Mike's mahomie JT tapping in salute,
Speaker 1: saluting birthday, not to ye yeah, yeah, a couple of
Speaker 1: days ago. Yeah, I've been related to my man. But yeah,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to ask about Davis Carter, just a
Speaker 2: quick question.
Speaker 8: You.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out, I want to say it.
Speaker 17: He's been doing this thing for so long and has
Speaker 17: been at the top of his game for so long,
Speaker 17: and we the culture understand his value and is his
Speaker 17: presence I guess I'm trying to figure out, like, yeah,
Speaker 17: we would love to see him on you know what
Speaker 17: I mean, television, whether whatever it is. You know, I mean,
Speaker 17: whatever it is, we just want to see it.
Speaker 7: Is a.
Speaker 2: Tough ask.
Speaker 17: Is a ww E idea slapping the face for him?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 17: I only ask that not because I disrespect what it
Speaker 17: is or him. When I look at the w W,
Speaker 17: I d I look at it as I don't look
Speaker 17: at it negatively. But what I'm thinking about Darius Carter,
Speaker 17: I'm like, Damn, he really doesn't necessarily need it because
Speaker 17: he he is well known throughout must and it seems
Speaker 17: like he's well known not just with us, but then
Speaker 17: if you really know Gratch, he's well known. So it
Speaker 17: feels like he should just be there on his natural talent.
Speaker 17: So that's why I'm kind of asking, like, let's say
Speaker 17: he does get an idea, it's that like a knock
Speaker 17: towards him, a knocked down for him, because I don't
Speaker 17: feel like he necessarily needs it, you know what I'm
Speaker 17: trying to say, Like I'm not trying to say it's
Speaker 17: a bad thing, but he's so good, Like I don't
Speaker 17: necessarily think he easy to get on television.
Speaker 11: If I could chime in, so I don't necessarily see
Speaker 11: it as like it's not a negative. I agree with
Speaker 11: everything you're saying, But for me, it's like when I'm
Speaker 11: when I'm saying the word television in the same sense
Speaker 11: with Darris Carter, like not for nothing, like and you know,
Speaker 11: you know, we talk a lot of shit. You know,
Speaker 11: we like what we like in certain instances, and you know,
Speaker 11: we saw worlds in last night.
Speaker 8: We know what type of television that is, Like, I don't.
Speaker 11: I don't see him on WW television knowing what you know,
Speaker 11: what they look for, what they want to look for
Speaker 11: in the future from certain cats. I don't know if
Speaker 11: I really see him like being like and granted, who
Speaker 11: knows what NXA is gonna look like in twenty twenty
Speaker 11: six right as far as like presentation and certain other
Speaker 11: things like me in a moment right now, and it's great,
Speaker 11: but I would love to see him like on like
Speaker 11: a Ring of Honor and try to bring some something
Speaker 11: to that, you know, back to Ring of Honor. You
Speaker 11: did what I'm saying and just what he I just
Speaker 11: feel like the aw Ring of Honor stuff is for
Speaker 11: mainly like adult contemporary like wrestling fans, if that's like
Speaker 11: a thing to say, Like earlier Chartie was talking about
Speaker 11: you know, pure wrestling folks, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: And I think not only just for the wrestling, but
Speaker 11: just for the presentation of there's Carter, like the way
Speaker 11: he talked that shit. Like, Yeah, I would love to
Speaker 11: see him on like their cameras more so than w
Speaker 11: W because I don't feel like he would necessarily be
Speaker 11: in the in the best space to be himself and
Speaker 11: granted I don't.
Speaker 8: And that's the thing you.
Speaker 11: Kind of kind of in the WW you kind of
Speaker 11: get remixed somewhat like we see what happened, what Swerve went.
Speaker 8: To the em It's like brother like it was cool,
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But TNA would be Yeah, TNA would be Yeah, would
Speaker 1: be especially with the year that twenty twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: is about to bring for TNA. I absolutely just see
Speaker 1: like a potential few like with him and Nick Nemath,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: Uh, And like I said, they're about to lose like
Speaker 9: a guy like Speedball, you know what I mean, A
Speaker 9: couple of guys, you know, possibly Josh Alexander him filling
Speaker 9: that void, Darius Carter, Mike Santana match like that just
Speaker 9: sounds incredible, you know what I mean. So with that
Speaker 9: being said, we've all given our picks. My final vote
Speaker 9: after hearing everybody, I'm gonna go with last sledgend.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was just about to say the same thing,
Speaker 4: Like I had to take a little fans too. Everybody
Speaker 4: got hyped up on it, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They didn't.
Speaker 3: Fan favorite, fan favorite choice.
Speaker 9: All right, next category the illustrious Promo of the Year,
Speaker 9: Promo of the Year, the person that cooks on the microphone.
Speaker 9: I actually had the transcript for my promo of the
Speaker 9: year right here.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, beyond.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna read it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read it because my pick for promo the
Speaker 1: year is the night after the World Rumble for two
Speaker 1: nights Drew McIntyre to see him Punk. And this is
Speaker 1: what Drew McIntyre said. I'm not gonna read the whole thing,
Speaker 1: but the key thing.
Speaker 9: I've said some terrible things about you since you for
Speaker 9: turn to w W E and I met them.
Speaker 1: You are a terrible person to me in the past.
Speaker 1: I think you're a poison to the locker room. But
Speaker 1: I'm listening to you and I can relate to everything
Speaker 1: you're saying. I had my dreams taken away from me
Speaker 1: as well. I was fired from this place, and when
Speaker 1: I was listening to you talk about your buddy Chad,
Speaker 1: I could relate that could relate to that as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I believe in. I've went through
Speaker 1: some changes recently myself. I've never been much of a
Speaker 1: spiritual person. But I want you to know this. I
Speaker 1: prayed for this and it happened.
Speaker 9: The context being in the World Rumble match, Drew McIntyre
Speaker 9: hit Seeampunk Boom Future Shock DDT and it had tore
Speaker 9: Sampunk's tricep. So for Drew McIntyre to get and say
Speaker 9: he prayed for this to happen happen and that sparked
Speaker 9: what I believed the feud of the year.
Speaker 1: It just was an impactful and it haackful promo on
Speaker 1: the basis that I feel like for the longest time,
Speaker 1: people like, people liked Drew, but people didn't really see
Speaker 1: Drew to be like a like the top guy, right,
Speaker 1: I think in a blessing in the sky. Oddly enough,
Speaker 1: see them Punk getting injured in the World Rumble was
Speaker 1: the best thing to happen to both him and Drew
Speaker 1: McIntyre because it gave Drew McIntyre the AMMO for the
Speaker 1: remainder of the year to be destination television.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: You wanted to pay attention to Drew's promos. You felt
Speaker 1: like Drew was being one hundred percent honest of him,
Speaker 1: genuinely wishing the worst for seam Punk, and as you
Speaker 1: saw through the year, it just continued on, So I
Speaker 1: think with everything, it all kick starts with one and
Speaker 1: that promo, I just will never forget here. And I
Speaker 1: prayed for this and it happened. My pick Drew McIntyre
Speaker 1: two days after.
Speaker 4: The World War.
Speaker 2: Freak.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was my pig too, because I believe everything
Speaker 7: he said. After that shirt, I was like, yeah, he
Speaker 7: really don't think.
Speaker 4: I was like, some of that ship seemed a little
Speaker 4: bit real.
Speaker 7: Like you know, I know, you know, we all know,
Speaker 7: but it seemed like he really didn't like that nigga bro,
Speaker 7: and you did a good actor of what but he
Speaker 7: really meant that ship anyway, it went and super viral,
Speaker 7: you know what I mean that Then he like has
Speaker 7: like a T shirt and ship after that.
Speaker 1: But yeah shooms.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so you know seeing punks WrestleMania, uh, WrestleMania joint.
Speaker 3: Yeah himself, I'm not a Hall of Famer the at
Speaker 3: Infernal That's that is cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I go with you.
Speaker 3: So I had one of those heart versus h brain moments.
Speaker 3: My brain is agreeing with both of you, that is Drew.
Speaker 3: My heart is with the New Day kicking out Biggie
Speaker 3: and turned it off big Eie. That's why that's where
Speaker 3: my heart came so when I went with my heart
Speaker 3: on this one, because that would the way that drew
Speaker 3: like encompassed everything of hate that hurt my heart seeing
Speaker 3: how they did my man Biggie and the sadness on
Speaker 3: his face when his brothers turned their back on him
Speaker 3: and basically said kick rocks. It said in that moment
Speaker 3: when Kofi just put his put his hand up to him, Yo, man,
Speaker 3: I still it still hurts me to this day, even
Speaker 3: though I see Biggie living his best life.
Speaker 2: But that's the point.
Speaker 1: But yeah, proven every exactly, proving Kofee and Examber you're.
Speaker 3: Right, because how can how can I choose anything different
Speaker 3: if Kofe's old mama don't fuck with him?
Speaker 1: Hey, shut real quick. Shout out to Kofe's mom because
Speaker 1: she's the one.
Speaker 9: She's the whistleblow werd to tell everybody that Kofe won't Jamaican, so.
Speaker 4: That niggas from.
Speaker 2: That's my son.
Speaker 4: The thing that.
Speaker 7: Also hurt me about that promo too was that we
Speaker 7: always heard it was always opportunity from the last ten
Speaker 7: years for them to break up, and they always.
Speaker 4: Said they wasn't going to break up. They were like
Speaker 4: no matter what, either it was k.
Speaker 7: Promos or they're shooting from you know, doing shoot promos.
Speaker 4: They said it was never going to break up. So
Speaker 4: I see what you're saying.
Speaker 2: No, I get it.
Speaker 1: As a Jamaican kid. That hurt my heart that night,
Speaker 1: I feel you shouts out, what do you got.
Speaker 2: Go with?
Speaker 8: Chazz? Uh new Day?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 8: That was.
Speaker 2: That was pretty tough to watch.
Speaker 3: You broken neck soup? What this bad? That Dan Kofe
Speaker 3: was bringing up? People don't even work there no more.
Speaker 8: Broke his neck, he can't.
Speaker 2: Like what?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 17: That probably uh first and for aemost agreed with what
Speaker 17: Nola said that that Drew and Skot and Matt, that
Speaker 17: Drew magatized ship was.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 8: It was a.
Speaker 2: Supreme domino effect that led to along with.
Speaker 3: That was a good one. It was that twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four February February. I remember it well, well.
Speaker 2: That was a good time that.
Speaker 6: Time.
Speaker 17: Yeah, man, that shit was the most hurtful promo and
Speaker 17: the most impactful one for me obviously what they mean
Speaker 17: to what they represent to us. But I think for
Speaker 17: me the night before, maybe like the week before, when
Speaker 17: they had their little spat in the backstage, that's what
Speaker 17: really kind of drove home because it was like, how
Speaker 17: do you top that? How do you go above beyond that?
Speaker 17: And they nailed it. They nailed it again. Like I
Speaker 17: always said, when you can't tell what's real and what's
Speaker 17: what's Kate fee and they're able to blend the line
Speaker 17: like that, that's what makes the money.
Speaker 2: Same with drewis a point, although damn he might still
Speaker 2: do anyway.
Speaker 17: I but anyway, Yeah, that to me was probably the
Speaker 17: most significant and the most impactful one for the just
Speaker 17: because of what they mean to us.
Speaker 2: And like you said, Matt, that's a good point.
Speaker 17: It was so many times when they could have pulled
Speaker 17: a trick and they never did, and they just always
Speaker 17: like not all that we hear, So you know, it
Speaker 17: had to be significant to the point where it was
Speaker 17: like we were still here, but it ain't getting us nowhere.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, you outliving.
Speaker 17: Your best life as big e shood, you living your
Speaker 17: best life while we you know, I mean, floundering, can't
Speaker 17: figure this shit out.
Speaker 2: So that to me was probably the most most impactful
Speaker 2: promoter this year.
Speaker 8: All good picture, gentlemen. I definitely think that.
Speaker 11: You know, I have a favorite promoter, y'm' talking about
Speaker 11: my favorite, but the ones that were mentioned are definitely
Speaker 11: the most like noteworthy moments we've probably had on the
Speaker 11: microphone this year. I want to highlight you know something
Speaker 11: from you know, the continuing Bloodline saga. There was an
Speaker 11: episode of Friday Night SmackDown on October eighteenth, not too
Speaker 11: long ago. New blood Line comes out. You know Solo's
Speaker 11: talking shit about you know what's going on?
Speaker 8: Jay comes out.
Speaker 11: Jay shows up best SmackDown and for me, like in
Speaker 11: the last couple of years, I think that Jay has
Speaker 11: definitely improved on the mic. I feel like we got
Speaker 11: a certain way in which we used to listen into promos,
Speaker 11: just like it's a way that we are used to
Speaker 11: listening to, like something like music or hip hop, and
Speaker 11: we used to hearing like how a regular MC or
Speaker 11: MC that you know, we would be familiar with, how
Speaker 11: they would with their processes.
Speaker 8: And it reminds, you know, Jay's process.
Speaker 11: I don't know what his process is, but when I
Speaker 11: hear it audibly and when I see it reminds me
Speaker 11: of a punching in, like the new phenomenon in rap
Speaker 11: music they call punching in, where like the yn rappers
Speaker 11: are like going in the booth and like saying like
Speaker 11: two lines and coming right back out, and then saying
Speaker 11: the next two and coming right back out. Jay knows
Speaker 11: how to give you certain shit in like like short form.
Speaker 11: Like I remember his promo against Gunthorp when he confronted him,
Speaker 11: you know, before that international Intercontinental title situation, and you know,
Speaker 11: everybody saying yea after everything Jay is saying.
Speaker 8: But I think it's like really effective.
Speaker 11: So however, to get to the promo, he confronts the
Speaker 11: new blood line and his little brother, and for me,
Speaker 11: it was a moment. It was like a touch and
Speaker 11: gold moment. I think it was some easter eggs in
Speaker 11: here as well. The first easter egg for me was
Speaker 11: he talks about how he left the blood line. You
Speaker 11: know what I mean, I left the blood line to
Speaker 11: be my own man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: And if y'all ain't, if.
Speaker 11: Y'all don't remember, like everybody, please go back and watch
Speaker 11: it because I think, like, you know, he takes his
Speaker 11: glasses off, you know what I mean, he throws him
Speaker 11: to the crowd, and it's like it's a moment you
Speaker 11: did what I'm saying, and he said, you know, you
Speaker 11: ain't got to be doing all of this to like
Speaker 11: be your own man, like I left the family to
Speaker 11: be my own man and I became then in New
Speaker 11: Champion Nows and like he put it up and for me,
Speaker 11: that was that was tough. That was a bar because
Speaker 11: it's like, yo, like little brother, like this is this.
Speaker 8: Pot belt you did. What I'm saying, like this is
Speaker 8: really hours, Like I didn't got this.
Speaker 11: You're doing all this and all that for some for
Speaker 11: the ooh follow and that's cool and you're kind of
Speaker 11: doing it the wrong way what he ended up saying
Speaker 11: to him, Right, but I really thought that was a
Speaker 11: really like that was that was amazing for me. Then
Speaker 11: he says, well, basically a solo replies to him and said, like,
Speaker 11: you know, don't call me little brother, like I'm your
Speaker 11: tribal chief, like you know where you think you're getting
Speaker 11: off at. And from that, Jay replies to him and says,
Speaker 11: like like this just not the way to do the
Speaker 11: tribal chief ship, Like you went and got these tonguin niggas,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. That's cool, you went and
Speaker 11: got Jacob. And then he looks at Jacob like you know,
Speaker 11: it's a reason why I ain't fuck with him and
Speaker 11: the and the reason is a real life reason that
Speaker 11: I love how they saw how he sold it into
Speaker 11: this promo right with Jacob in his incarceration. You did
Speaker 11: know what I'm saying, he said, and it's a reason why,
Speaker 11: like we don't fuck with them. And if you keep
Speaker 11: looking at me like that, I'm gonna knock his ass out,
Speaker 11: Like and you know what I mean some of the
Speaker 11: like it's big pot, you know, I mean, as if
Speaker 11: like Jauso came out again. So once I heard that
Speaker 11: reaction to him saying that to Jacob, you know, and
Speaker 11: Jacobs hot his fish grease right.
Speaker 8: Now, I'm gonna get a little bit more into him
Speaker 8: later on.
Speaker 11: But yeah, for me, that is that is that is
Speaker 11: my That is my favorite promo the year, Jay Uso
Speaker 11: Monday Friday Night's Mackdown, October eighteenth.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love you don't know, don't know
Speaker 1: how that's cap but.
Speaker 2: At all.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's not gonna be everybody's promo of the year pick,
Speaker 11: but I listen, I'm not you know, sometimes you know,
Speaker 11: I gotta go, I gotta you know.
Speaker 2: That was it was recent. It's very recent.
Speaker 11: It was very recent, but like it was a lot
Speaker 11: in that in that few minutes for me, So you know,
Speaker 11: my man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that was a fantastic pig. I was just
Speaker 1: about to say that, like I remember when I remember
Speaker 1: when Paul Haymon, I believe Togoloa had just debuted, and
Speaker 1: I believe they were in Saudi Arabia and Togoloa wasn't there.
Speaker 1: So Paul's talking to Solo and he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: we couldn't get clearance for Togoloa to be here, right,
Speaker 1: And then he brought up talking he was like he
Speaker 1: essentially was like kind of the same vein of like
Speaker 1: Ja Jay Bringo by Jacob wasn't in the Bloodlight before,
Speaker 1: like alluding to the fat like for years we've always
Speaker 1: been like, oh, I would love to see the Gorillas
Speaker 1: of Destiny in the USO's. I would love to see
Speaker 1: them in the blood line. For them to even bring
Speaker 1: up the fact like like a storyline reason, like we
Speaker 1: never brought them into the bloodline because they were too dangerous.
Speaker 3: Love that.
Speaker 1: I love that aspect of the new bloodline. So that's
Speaker 1: an excellent pick. That's an excellent picky.
Speaker 2: Is there?
Speaker 1: With that being said?
Speaker 2: My vote.
Speaker 7: Why why he was incocerated. Well, I gotta learn that offline.
Speaker 8: No stick ups, I believe all.
Speaker 1: I'd be terrified. Yeah, that gigant came up to me.
Speaker 1: You know, rum in your pockets. You got a big dog.
Speaker 11: And when Jacob, when Jacob talked, you know, he don't
Speaker 11: like Jacob sound like one of them, not like us niggas.
Speaker 8: When he starts talking, he sounds like he banging something
Speaker 8: like because they.
Speaker 11: From out there, Like yeah, yeah, like yeah, he's sounded
Speaker 11: like he forties, Like that'shit crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I mean right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: My pick though, is still the Drew. That's that's That's
Speaker 9: what I'm going with, Drew for promother year, we gotta.
Speaker 4: Vote yeah true Oh sorry, Drew.
Speaker 2: Drew.
Speaker 1: True McIntire. It is jo still Frame of the Year.
Speaker 1: So the image burnt into your head.
Speaker 9: Now, keep in mind, I didn't have time to get
Speaker 9: everybody's image to where we can put it up right here,
Speaker 9: but I feel like we can all paint a vivid
Speaker 9: picture and I feel like we all got the same
Speaker 9: pick in it too. My pick for still Frame of
Speaker 9: the Year is Kofi holding his hand out to bigg
Speaker 9: As Biggy is going for a hug. If you have
Speaker 9: ever tried to give a friend or somebody a hug
Speaker 9: and you've been stopped, that is one of the most
Speaker 9: hurtful things that could possibly be done. And then it's
Speaker 9: your home me from ten years after they just got
Speaker 9: telling you that you ain't ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got nothing else, Bro, that' was sad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with mine too. That ship fucked
Speaker 4: me up.
Speaker 7: Really, I was legit mad at I'm still mad at
Speaker 7: coche oufics.
Speaker 4: Don't get hit me say more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said his out.
Speaker 4: Don't the same, Chaz, What do you want to shoot?
Speaker 2: Somebody pissed off? Bro?
Speaker 4: That ship pissed me off to.
Speaker 2: That ship made me mad.
Speaker 3: As well, and always always got the gun on.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, you always got bleaky.
Speaker 9: Hey, you know, you know it's funny. I got a
Speaker 9: new I got a new Chaz variant a word, Draco
Speaker 9: the Ruler.
Speaker 1: If you've never seen that, I'm one of the few
Speaker 1: people I've wanted, the few people to see Chazz without
Speaker 1: the beard.
Speaker 9: I've seen Chaz with just the go tee. Look at
Speaker 9: a picture of Chats with the go tea and look
Speaker 9: at Drac or the Ruler. That's the chess vary.
Speaker 2: He's not wrong. I don't.
Speaker 8: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't have nothing. You're right, he just he just agreed.
Speaker 4: I'm nothing.
Speaker 3: So my my still frame, my still frame of the year,
Speaker 3: I went with something that like was like wildest ship
Speaker 3: to me. Uh and swerve and Hangman's lights out cage match.
Speaker 3: We had the needle in his in his mouth. M
Speaker 3: that's I still remember watching the match and just being like, yo,
Speaker 3: what the fuck are we doing? Like why are we
Speaker 3: doing this? What is the point?
Speaker 8: Why?
Speaker 3: Why this is unnecessary? But yeah, that's that's my still
Speaker 3: frame of the year.
Speaker 4: That some grouc right, I liked it, but I didn't.
Speaker 4: It was weird, like.
Speaker 8: But this is the.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm on the same page. It's got the biggie kofe.
Speaker 17: It was hand past.
Speaker 8: And I know that's gonna be the one ultimately the
Speaker 8: New Day.
Speaker 11: But for me, like the still frame, I mean, I
Speaker 11: guess it's both a still frame and like somewhat like
Speaker 11: a gift. Again here I go with these caveats, but
Speaker 11: the image, Uh, that's funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 8: That a good job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was always thinking that, But that's my favorite one.
Speaker 8: By the way, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna go with that long.
Speaker 8: No, that's the one. But yeah, long story short.
Speaker 11: The image of Punk's reaction to Damien about the cash
Speaker 11: in at forty, it was just funny. It was just like, yeah,
Speaker 11: I don't know it just it was just something like
Speaker 11: wildly comedic comedic about that image to me. So that's
Speaker 11: my particular still frame of there happened that many It
Speaker 11: happened during the cash in, so and he he just
Speaker 11: got finished.
Speaker 8: Like beating his ass.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean yeah, it was it was it was up,
Speaker 11: it was up. That's that's the one, because he was
Speaker 11: like anybody want anymore? Like that's what it kind of
Speaker 11: reminded me of him, Like, no, he about the cash
Speaker 11: in homeboy Hill, you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 11: didn't just help him out? But I feel right yeah
Speaker 11: right yeah real real ship, I got you.
Speaker 8: Like he blew his kiss you, I mean the kiss
Speaker 8: he did like he did that money in the bank.
Speaker 8: He blew the kiss then he turned to that ship.
Speaker 8: Was just hilarious. Man, Phil was a walking joke. He
Speaker 8: was a funny.
Speaker 3: Not like that, you bro.
Speaker 1: We didn't need to bring up that hurt for last
Speaker 1: night at all.
Speaker 11: It was brother, I'm sorry that moment though, that was
Speaker 11: moments before Mark Heart was warm.
Speaker 8: You know, I mean he handed the time I was
Speaker 8: in section one twenty one, I'm like, is this is?
Speaker 8: But yeah?
Speaker 2: That shit was crazy, bro.
Speaker 1: I would have been running around that joint if I
Speaker 1: had the Scotland flag on me. That was a moment
Speaker 1: for Scotland right there. And then it all went downhill.
Speaker 2: That was great? Sure, great, Shut up.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna good damn what give his damn? What kind
Speaker 1: of night you had?

Speaker 3: felt like Nick can't, hey man, where's prayer of the year?
Speaker 3: That would be me, That would be every time Scotland
Speaker 3: speaks to me.
Speaker 2: But it's okay.
Speaker 1: Up next, Up next is who is going to have
Speaker 1: the banner year of twenty twenty five. My pick is
Speaker 1: Tiger style Lee Moriorny.
Speaker 8: That's a good pick.
Speaker 3: That's a great thing.
Speaker 9: And I was and I went back and forth because
Speaker 9: there was a couple of people where I was like, yo,
Speaker 9: I could see big things for twenty twenty five. But
Speaker 9: the performance Lee Mortar already just had a couple of
Speaker 9: weeks ago against his idol, his mentor Andrew McGinnis.
Speaker 3: It was beautiful.
Speaker 1: Technical science, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: Like Lee has always been in my eyes, I like
Speaker 9: I always chalked it up to the the big three
Speaker 9: in my in my opinion was Daniel Garcia, Wheeler you
Speaker 9: to Lee Moriarty. For those that you know don't know
Speaker 9: the incredible indie run all three of those men had
Speaker 9: at the same time, the classics enjoy wrestling beyond wrestling,
Speaker 9: defied just.
Speaker 1: Incredible, incredible vibes all all the around. And Daniel Garcia
Speaker 1: finally came on his own this year Wila. He's doing
Speaker 1: this thing with the death Riders. Lee Moriarty with Shane
Speaker 1: Taylor Promotions has been stellar work. Lee as the Pure
Speaker 1: Champion has been stellar work. Lee does not miss when
Speaker 1: he's in that ring. But there was a moment in
Speaker 1: the h the post Media's post Media is from where
Speaker 1: I was like, aw has a legit top babyface on
Speaker 1: their hands. As Lee was talking, I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to boo this dude.
Speaker 9: I don't want to boom him anyway, but like there's
Speaker 9: nothing healish about him. I can see kids in the
Speaker 9: audience rocking the tiger mask puffer jackets and that being
Speaker 9: money across the board.
Speaker 3: Lee going out.
Speaker 9: In Hammerstein barber room, walking to the crowd, walking to
Speaker 9: the ring and the dudes have the tiger style banner
Speaker 9: and it just.
Speaker 1: Chanting Lee, Lee, Lee, Lee. Everything about that kid is
Speaker 1: going to be incredible.
Speaker 9: He is actually my pick going into twenty twenty five
Speaker 9: that's going to have that type of year where Kyle
Speaker 9: Fletcher had. All he Lee needs is just opportunity after opportunity,
Speaker 9: and you're going to see incredible things for him.
Speaker 1: That's my pick for up next of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: My up next is it's no surprise if you know me.
Speaker 2: It is for my Japanese son, to Keska.
Speaker 3: And everyone may be like, what do you mean he
Speaker 3: very much had up next year already. No, this is
Speaker 3: only the beginning. Brothers and sisters and everybody else in between.
Speaker 3: That is only the beginning. He has gone from different
Speaker 3: continents and whooped ass. He will now stay in America
Speaker 3: where he will continue to rise. He is the international
Speaker 3: champion right now. I see the AEW Championship in his
Speaker 3: future because what it is time and it is go
Speaker 3: from bell to bell. Te Keski is one of the
Speaker 3: best out here. Man, you can't There's not a match
Speaker 3: that you can say that he has had that you
Speaker 3: did not enjoy. There is not a match that you
Speaker 3: have watch with him that you could be like. Man,
Speaker 3: he is faltering like you don't see it. He has it.
Speaker 3: He has been the one, He has been the future
Speaker 3: for a very long time now and I cannot wait
Speaker 3: until he is the president.
Speaker 4: Yeah. My up next was Jada Parker.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 3: I see a theme.
Speaker 7: Like I said before, Man, she got the cache right
Speaker 7: now and just in her short period of time of being,
Speaker 7: you know, in the spotlight, she made a major impact,
Speaker 7: and I think it's gonna carry over in two, you know,
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five, I see a quick call up, especially
Speaker 7: with the expansion of you know, ww go on the Netflix.
Speaker 7: I think she's gonna go to SmackDown to hold that
Speaker 7: bad her up, but to help hold that back up.
Speaker 4: But I got Jada Park.
Speaker 8: For my next up.
Speaker 11: I selected a name that's definitely familiar to you all,
Speaker 11: and it was you know, we had we had a
Speaker 11: little laugh earlier.
Speaker 8: A J. Francis is my up next pick.
Speaker 1: M hm, that's a good one. I'm not mad at
Speaker 1: that one at all.
Speaker 11: So you know, if you know, if any information you
Speaker 11: shot that Jada too, man, I think that like that's
Speaker 11: the excellent pick as well.
Speaker 8: That might you know, that might be the pick.
Speaker 11: But I think, you know, in terms of a j again,
Speaker 11: we meant you know, we mentioned Swerve earlier, and you know,
Speaker 11: all of that hit roll was a particular type of situation.
Speaker 11: You know, I'm glad that you know, Brig got a
Speaker 11: good situation back with the street prophets shout out to her.
Speaker 3: But a J.
Speaker 11: Francis, I think is like he's like, you know, I
Speaker 11: don't when I think of him, I don't think about
Speaker 11: the top dollars stuff that much. I do somewhat like
Speaker 11: some of that stuff was kind of like some of
Speaker 11: it was kind of funny, but he I think he
Speaker 11: kind of had like a certain like restart right and
Speaker 11: we're kind of seeing like what's going on with t
Speaker 11: NA And it really wasn't necessarily a match or anything.
Speaker 11: That kind of convinced me, like just hearing like the
Speaker 11: ship he was talking in that freestyle he dropped not
Speaker 11: too long ago.
Speaker 8: I think it was over Kendrick Beat.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was like I took it as a promo
Speaker 11: and it was very convincing, and so yeah, I think
Speaker 11: that like the checks is definitely probably good. But I
Speaker 11: think he can I think I don't know. I think
Speaker 11: that if he get a solo on the n x T,
Speaker 11: I don't know, but that's that's my pick.
Speaker 17: I went with I'm gonna make sure I get this
Speaker 17: name right the last part e j.
Speaker 3: DKA m H.
Speaker 17: I didn't know who this this person was this you know,
Speaker 17: I mean, big black motherfucker that was this word that
Speaker 17: time they was all on stage. I had no idea
Speaker 17: who he was. But I mean, I just you know,
Speaker 17: I'm gonna support us. So our first time, I was like, Yo,
Speaker 17: who was this?
Speaker 8: Who was this guy?
Speaker 2: Like intimidating?
Speaker 17: He got he got the look and then you know
Speaker 17: what I mean, respectfully, people let me know on Twitter,
Speaker 17: and I've been a fan ever since. I started making
Speaker 17: sure I watch his matches, follow him. He has all
Speaker 17: the tools for a big man that you want. Yeah,
Speaker 17: he's fast, he's flexible. When it's time to be a
Speaker 17: big man, he does it. And and it's still like,
Speaker 17: like I said, I just found out about him. He's
Speaker 17: been doing this thing for a little bit. I'm glad
Speaker 17: he's with Lee Johnson. I said that, right, Scott.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, sir, Yes, Sir Johnson.
Speaker 2: That tag team they had it.
Speaker 17: They had a really good match with gasa Agony a
Speaker 17: couple of weeks back at Final Battle.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: He and he has a confidence about himself.
Speaker 17: Like again, it reminds me of Oba, not comparing, but
Speaker 17: just like the early like I've been here before.
Speaker 2: So now it's about just kind of be found the tools.
Speaker 17: My biggest fear is well, not even that, because Tiger style,
Speaker 17: uh definitely made his bones in our weight and so
Speaker 17: I'm not even gonna say that. I just hope that
Speaker 17: we don't miss the mark on capitalize on what he
Speaker 17: has to bring to say, because he has all the
Speaker 17: tools physically, so but we still need to figure out,
Speaker 17: you know, what can he do with the mic?
Speaker 2: What can he do?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 17: Ringsydchoed, X, Y and Z. But the tools are there,
Speaker 17: the potential is there. So I'm expecting a huge leap
Speaker 17: come twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So my final pick I have to hearing everybody. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Jada. I'm gonna go with Jada Parker.
Speaker 3: Will I will also go with Jada Parker.
Speaker 17: Say that is the real executive decision, my friend. That's
Speaker 17: why you are my love.
Speaker 9: Did bring up a good point, Queen Amanada for twenty
Speaker 9: twenty five as big money as big money you feel me?
Speaker 9: Next up is Sneak your game of the year. Now,
Speaker 9: I will say I am stepping away because this is
Speaker 9: not my way that I don't deal with sneakers anything,
Speaker 9: don't pay attention to so you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: Like you gentlemen, talk amongst you so and I'll be back.
Speaker 3: Oh man, so oh no, So this is what I
Speaker 3: would do. I'll take it through host of duties. Hey Lorenzo, Yes, sir,
Speaker 3: go ahead, brother, go with your pick.
Speaker 11: So I have a I got a one that you know,
Speaker 11: I got an honorable mention. I got another honorable mention
Speaker 11: for another category.
Speaker 8: Two. We're gonna say that.
Speaker 11: So number one sneaker game of the year seth Allens
Speaker 11: WrestleMania forty uh Fear of Guy white high tops designed
Speaker 11: by Jerry Lorenzo, a really good quality Nike sneaker. I
Speaker 11: definitely want to shout out like the whole, like Judgment Day,
Speaker 11: like sneaker thing.
Speaker 8: I'm giving this to Finn. I like what Dom does
Speaker 8: with the Travises.
Speaker 11: I like his variations of Travis when he get into
Speaker 11: and Ria, right Ria, when she was still with the Day,
Speaker 11: she was doing her thing with the dunks.
Speaker 8: You know what I mean. I think she did.
Speaker 11: You know, you know, we do the van skate highs
Speaker 11: or lows, uh, the high platforms that is. But Finn
Speaker 11: is very specific. Finn had the pair he wore at
Speaker 11: War Games, the white pair with the X the ones,
Speaker 11: and they were designed by a gentleman Mache three six
Speaker 11: five two seven five excuse me on Instagram. Definitely familiar
Speaker 11: Mac and uh yeah, you know every he just been
Speaker 11: he's been bombing all year with the with the judgment
Speaker 11: they drops, So I definitely want to give him annable mention.
Speaker 8: But Seth Rollins Fear of God.
Speaker 11: Fear God is my favorite brand, and that's like, you know,
Speaker 11: Jay Lorenzo is my favorite designer of men's footwear. So
Speaker 11: I gotta give it to Seth WrestleMania forty against Drew
Speaker 11: mcin Sorry.
Speaker 7: Definitely, that would be my honorable mention too, Seth, and
Speaker 7: Seth's been bringing it even with the with the hay
Speaker 7: I can't forget forgetting the name of the brand, but
Speaker 7: remember the uh boots. Yes, everybody was wearing like I'm
Speaker 7: not a I wouldn't do it, but he and he
Speaker 7: was bringing a lot of that. Hey man, somebody trying
Speaker 7: to help. If y'all can remember that in the comments,
Speaker 7: please bring it up. But it's that it's that uh
Speaker 7: the brand that kind of do that off the wall
Speaker 7: type of mixture mischief them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he you know he was and with
Speaker 2: you know, you.
Speaker 4: Could always wear it too.
Speaker 7: It's always with the outfit that you put on with
Speaker 7: it too, and he already off the wall already. But
Speaker 7: my pick was it was it was kind of a
Speaker 7: standard pick, but it was more so not because of
Speaker 7: the actual shoe that he was wearing, but the the
Speaker 7: impact that he did.
Speaker 4: In investment is that I'm gonna say Roman reins.
Speaker 7: Least why I said Roman rains because he actually got
Speaker 7: a Jordan's shoe there, something that I believe.
Speaker 4: Koffee should have got because.
Speaker 7: Of the air coffee a lot of the stuff that
Speaker 7: he was doing that Kofe.
Speaker 4: You know, he was very innovative.
Speaker 7: By switching up his shoes with the outfit, even putting.
Speaker 4: Kyriees with his rent gear and stuff like that. But
Speaker 4: the impact that the trend setting that Roman is doing
Speaker 4: actually getting a Jordan's Shoot deal, signing with jump Man,
Speaker 4: having a like my office partners asking me about hey,
Speaker 4: you hear about these bloodline twelves is about to come out?
Speaker 4: I'm like, yo, how you Yeah? So that's why I'm
Speaker 4: gonna give Roman that nine.
Speaker 7: But as far as I you know, actually shoot sneaker game,
Speaker 7: I would say I would say I would say Finn.
Speaker 4: For sure, but Fenn and Kofe.
Speaker 7: But my actual pick would be the impact that Roman
Speaker 7: is doing with having a deal with Jordan's mm.
Speaker 8: Hmm, good money.
Speaker 21: Absolutely absolutely go ahead ahead.
Speaker 17: Fire picks phenomenal picks. Honorable mentioned definitely. Finn Arnold mentioned
Speaker 17: definitely the Roman reigns like that. I don't know if
Speaker 17: that's happened before.
Speaker 8: Y'all.
Speaker 17: Y'all very more NOLG with than myself, But I can't
Speaker 17: remember where a wrestler Roman's caliber that got a sneaker deal.
Speaker 2: That's you don't just say shit like that.
Speaker 17: You know what I mean, Like, that's not a casual
Speaker 17: phrase like that doesn't happen in this game. That's that's
Speaker 17: for athlete because we are athletes. That's for like other sports.
Speaker 17: You know what I'm saying, not what what people think
Speaker 17: is not a sport or not as I've let it
Speaker 17: when we know damn what it is. And it just
Speaker 17: speaks to the impact of who Roman is and how
Speaker 17: he's still just.
Speaker 2: Still likes ahead of all of us.
Speaker 17: But let me tell you something, Man, the motherfucker that
Speaker 17: always jumped on my screen and I probably buyas because
Speaker 17: it's my favorite show. But Andre motherfucking Chase Man, let
Speaker 17: me tell you.
Speaker 8: I'm glad.
Speaker 17: He don't miss Bubba. It did not matter what the
Speaker 17: paper was. He was coming with him, he and it
Speaker 17: was the same color wave. But he had different shoes
Speaker 17: every single time.
Speaker 3: I was like, Andre Chase got nods on the fuck baby,
Speaker 3: Andre chased like and then to come again happy, surprised
Speaker 3: because he's been doing this.
Speaker 2: Ah, I wasn't familiar with your game.
Speaker 8: My bad.
Speaker 2: I apologize, I'm sorry.
Speaker 17: Yeah, Andre chased for me every time he was on
Speaker 17: next seed, every time he was on the PO League,
Speaker 17: he brought it out and wore them and it wasn't
Speaker 17: an ass, wasn't a bum. You know how some niggas
Speaker 17: got George can't shoot ship. No, Andre Chase is a
Speaker 17: real shooting, certified hooper every single time everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's my guy, that's my thing.
Speaker 4: I can't agree with the I can't agreep you. I mean,
Speaker 4: I fuck with the pump. I fuck with it, I fuck.
Speaker 7: With I love the Rebok pump. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 7: I just it was what they said. That's why they
Speaker 7: don't fuck with your young bucks. They were saying that
Speaker 7: they innovated sneakers and wrestling like wrestless waining sneakers like
Speaker 7: he don't get me wrong. They they came out like
Speaker 7: it was one time they had like New York ones
Speaker 7: in the p L League and stuff like that. But
Speaker 7: once they said, they just undermined it like every other
Speaker 7: wrestler that come on, let's be honest, Hall of Fame
Speaker 7: sneaker wrestler, gotta be shaming man to be honest with you,
Speaker 7: don't get he had on the he had on the
Speaker 7: true blue threes, he had on.
Speaker 2: The white, he had on.
Speaker 7: The cement threes, he had on a lot of heat.
Speaker 7: So don't say that y'all innovated like y'all, y'all, y'all
Speaker 7: supposed to know. Y'all, y'all didn't know when it comes.
Speaker 8: To sneakers and ship comes the money.
Speaker 7: So don't say that y'all becomes the sneakers got. It's
Speaker 7: a whole mcmon out there that's not really and we're
Speaker 7: gonna be looking at him as a MC man.
Speaker 4: That nigga's a shame.
Speaker 2: He's sa mac nigga talking about you got no number.
Speaker 8: It's two dollars times that.
Speaker 22: Fly over and I'm I'm I'm looking at the move,
Speaker 22: but I'm I'm like, damn, he got on the fucking
Speaker 22: threes out there, Like who should Brett park.
Speaker 4: Like it wasn't in his ring gear, but he's come
Speaker 4: in with the fucking eight.
Speaker 3: So on ship.
Speaker 23: You know I'm saying, walking in is uh the street
Speaker 23: gear doing his promos.
Speaker 4: Don't say y'all innovated that ship, you know what I mean.
Speaker 11: But yeah, bro Hart was like Sinfeld, if you don't look,
Speaker 11: that ship might get past you. You know what I mean, Like, yeah,
Speaker 11: you think it's some air and monarchs, you know what
Speaker 11: I mean. Shout out to Martine Road because she did,
Speaker 11: you know, design a paaradom, that black woman.
Speaker 8: She's a great designer. But yeah, yeah, Brett was on
Speaker 8: that sound Field ship you miss telling me.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was crazy, my bad to step over
Speaker 4: what he said, Chaz, but.
Speaker 7: I seen the comment and Marshall might that I get
Speaker 7: it like young Bucks and you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: They did a lot of stuff.
Speaker 7: With the ring gear matching with the sneakers and stuff
Speaker 7: like that, having the thumb text under the ones fire.
Speaker 7: But the only reason why I didn't mention them is
Speaker 7: probably because of the bias that Curving said I have
Speaker 7: because it is bikes. I can't say the niggas because
Speaker 7: what they said, but I with I respect they shoot games.
Speaker 4: M hmm.
Speaker 1: So who we got is the winner? Gentlemen?
Speaker 3: I'm gone with Andre Chase.
Speaker 11: Yeah, the bathing nakes, I think, like, yeah, likes at work.
Speaker 2: But all right, what do you have that joint?
Speaker 3: He had a joint Halloween have it? I think he did.
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, Halloween have it?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah that was Halloween.
Speaker 8: Have it? Despicable? Yeah that was Yeah, like Erica said,
Speaker 8: some one.
Speaker 7: More thing because you know how I'm passionate about sneakers, right,
Speaker 7: I do want to I just want to sell, y'all.
Speaker 7: I do want to say, like the importance of the
Speaker 7: Jordan's shoot there that Roman got all the combat sports
Speaker 7: athletes that were under Nike. You got, you got Pachyah,
Speaker 7: you got he got Tim Bradley. But then that's think
Speaker 7: about the big athletes. You got Roy Jones Junior, that
Speaker 7: the first Jordan athlete. You got a son of God
Speaker 7: andre Ward that was a Jordan athlete recent recent times.
Speaker 7: You got Triple G And it wasn't nobody else, it
Speaker 7: wasn't nobody had a little had a small stint with Jordan,
Speaker 7: like I think one fight.
Speaker 8: That was a pretty boy era, right.
Speaker 7: Pretty boy with the headband and everything with Jordan.
Speaker 23: But Roman Reigns bringing out it pretty much was the
Speaker 23: same the same boot of the Roy Jones but kind
Speaker 23: of model mana, I can't think of the word.
Speaker 7: It was kind of modified to a wrestling boot, but
Speaker 7: it was like the same boot of the Roy Jones era.
Speaker 7: But you didn't quite Jordan didn't quite get a lot
Speaker 7: of combat athletes.
Speaker 4: Through out the years. You know that he signed athletes.
Speaker 7: So the fact that Roman Rings is one of the first,
Speaker 7: is the first wrestler that actually got a deal and
Speaker 7: a boot designed for him and a shoe that's going
Speaker 7: to be.
Speaker 4: Mass produced to sell out to the world. Think Roy
Speaker 4: Jones did even get that.
Speaker 7: Roy Jones had a boot that set a foot lock
Speaker 7: of shells for a while. Oh, begging my mama to
Speaker 7: get him for me. I was like, man, I could
Speaker 7: wait him in the rings. She's like, no, baby cost
Speaker 7: two hundred dollars, which is on call up back in
Speaker 7: the day. Jordan was like one twenty you know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying, only shoot that you get over that was
Speaker 7: the pennies. That was like, he just call them bug
Speaker 7: eighties the phone positis. So think about that. But and
Speaker 7: he picture is pretty much good because the wrestler's niggas
Speaker 7: getting that. It's wearing at Plavor right now.
Speaker 24: Yeah, King of rules was fired though.
Speaker 8: Yeah for the time the time, absolutely.
Speaker 4: Rules whoa And I think the n W had a soldiery.
Speaker 7: Don't get me mistaken, bro, I think they had a
Speaker 7: soldiery bark too.
Speaker 8: Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4: Unless we said it was the end of your soldiery
Speaker 4: in the.
Speaker 8: Hood, that was.
Speaker 2: That was some nasty work.
Speaker 3: I remember, that.
Speaker 4: Was nasty.
Speaker 7: I remember, Hey, you had a whole peper magazine Possible Love.
Speaker 1: But it was like two thousand and.
Speaker 8: Some, honey.
Speaker 11: Because Lugs has a page on the Pro Wrestling Wiki
Speaker 11: fandom page and it talks about the event the pay

Speaker 1: person pretty much that person had that ship on right.
Speaker 3: My pick.
Speaker 9: Isn't directly a one time situation. My pick for Fit
Speaker 9: of the Year is anything that your card Jack and
Speaker 9: Last Legend had on. Because every week those two beautiful
Speaker 9: black queens pop up and show the fuck with every outfit,
Speaker 9: color matching, you know what I mean, hair matching, nails matching,
Speaker 9: everything they do is just an incredible ambiance. I ain't

Speaker 9: of the year. Whatever Jaikara, Jackson and Last Legend are wearing.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm gonna pull a Nolo move. And now I'm joking.
Speaker 17: I'm an. I stayed with my pick, he said. I
Speaker 17: went with Ue Drippy Wallace.
Speaker 3: You know that sounds like I feel like I heard
Speaker 3: somebody hating.
Speaker 16: For a second, I was not did but you don't
Speaker 16: to yourself, Man, you're good.
Speaker 3: It's fine.
Speaker 17: It's fine because he hurt Menna. Get all these bullets.
Speaker 17: Every last bullet'll get Yeah, but yeah, I went with
Speaker 17: Seth Trippy Robinson.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with self too. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 4: self WrestleMania.
Speaker 7: Yeah, just the whole thing, like the outfit, the Pasgean treat.
Speaker 7: I know they're probably not supposed to be a part
Speaker 7: of it, but like he had that ship on then
Speaker 7: and then also like our group chat.
Speaker 4: This was pre it was pre low you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying in the in the BZ double pre group chat.
Speaker 7: But when he had we were trying to figure out
Speaker 7: all though the hot top space jams low talk with
Speaker 7: the gene joint, you know what I'm saying, Like, we
Speaker 7: were trying to figure that out.
Speaker 4: We were trying to like, damn, he got this ship.
Speaker 7: We figured out it was the Lows, and it was
Speaker 7: kind of like, uh, but at the same time.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, he's still you know, he
Speaker 4: pulled the loads.
Speaker 7: He still had like the space jams and and everything
Speaker 7: like that.
Speaker 4: And just we mentioned him already in the sneaker the
Speaker 4: sneaker debate, So uh, I'm gonna say self, man, because like,
Speaker 4: not only that he wear sneakers like and LO and
Speaker 4: the low top space jams is supposed to be like
Speaker 4: a if you if you're really in the sneakers.
Speaker 7: It's not supposed to be like something that you really
Speaker 7: put a fit on. It's supposed to be like more like, hey,
Speaker 7: somebody hurry up and told you to go out, and
Speaker 7: you maybe you know, you can't really figure out what
Speaker 7: you want to Well, you slip, you slip.
Speaker 4: Them on, go to the grocery store.
Speaker 7: Incase you know you're single and you're trying to impress
Speaker 7: something like that.
Speaker 4: You know, you know you just hurry up and time.
Speaker 4: It's one of them hurry up type sneakers. You did,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: So the way that he he, he ended up.
Speaker 4: Fanessing those space jams and then having it all over.
Speaker 7: Like a bleacher report, uh b r kicks nice kicks complex.
Speaker 4: All of those uh those sites. I'm gonna give it
Speaker 4: a snip.
Speaker 2: I want to something, I want to up something.
Speaker 17: You make a good point on me to cut anybody off.
Speaker 17: I never, damn I don't even think about it like that.
Speaker 17: As far as man, God, damn it, the shield. This
Speaker 17: is gonna always run this ship, bro, because if you did,
Speaker 17: if you think about it, steps drip, the impact is
Speaker 17: just as big, if not bigger. As far as with
Speaker 17: that rooman deal with the Jordan's like, we can't get
Speaker 17: away from these niggas, And I ain't gonna problem with
Speaker 17: it because I love to see them to today after.
Speaker 4: But who brought the shield? Who brought the shield.
Speaker 1: In right back?
Speaker 2: But the reason why using that to.
Speaker 7: See him punk is you know you know how saying
Speaker 7: the whole storyline between both brands is around Rome.
Speaker 4: Think about the whole wrestling impact right now with seeing Punk. Hell,
Speaker 4: we ain't minutally seeing Punk in the Sneaker.
Speaker 7: Game ship because but he he do you know, he
Speaker 7: do his regular Chicago street white man outfits, but wearing
Speaker 7: some fire ass ones with it too, you know what
Speaker 7: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But they both got like they both got.
Speaker 7: A strong grip on the wrestling game right now as
Speaker 7: far as like impacting, like they almost like how we
Speaker 7: used to see wrestling. I mean wrapping trees, like who
Speaker 7: came under the jay Z wrapping tree? Who came under
Speaker 7: the Little Wayne rapping tree, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, they wrestling tree. We gonna see
Speaker 7: this and be like, bro, this is monumentals, you know,
Speaker 7: Like seeing Punks is kind of spreading off now, and
Speaker 7: you can see Roman off of that branch too. But
Speaker 7: I don't want to jump too far ahead. It might
Speaker 7: be another conversation for you know, uh twenty twenty five
Speaker 7: to five. But you know you brought it up of Jazz, so.
Speaker 17: I think next year I was again, I want to
Speaker 17: stay out track. I just want to because you were
Speaker 17: something dope. I would love to have like Influencier of

Speaker 9: a pivot to the bg W inaugural class of the
Speaker 9: Hall of Fame, you know what I mean, just real
Speaker 9: quick to show acknowledgment the BGW Hall of Fame. We
Speaker 9: went into these selections not thinking wrestlers, but people that
Speaker 9: have impacted BGW in so many ways. And we're talking
Speaker 9: about from the very beginning when we had zero drip
Speaker 9: where niggas was getting three.
Speaker 1: Likes on a pod. You know what I mean. Twelve listens, man,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like we had to fight
Speaker 1: for those twelve. We had to fight for those twelve.
Speaker 9: But yeah, the people that we have selected for the
Speaker 9: inaugural class of BGW have stood with us from the
Speaker 9: beginning of time, you know what I mean, Even to
Speaker 9: our newer brethren of Chaz Lorenzo, you know what I mean,
Speaker 9: they've intertwined into that exact same family. So the inductees
Speaker 9: of the twenty twenty four inaugural Class of BGW. Number one,
Speaker 9: our sister Erica Starr, absolutely incredible individual, incredible System two
Speaker 9: times guest co host on BGW, and I'm gonna go
Speaker 9: ahead and say it. She's coming on for a third
Speaker 9: time in twenty twenty five, making that happy one.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, then you have a t inferno at Inferno. The
Speaker 9: greatest quote to ever come out of the early stages
Speaker 9: of BGW was the next saying, Yo, shout out to
Speaker 9: the Nigga eighteen inferno.
Speaker 4: B good love bro, like on day one.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, and that's coming for me, y'all know
Speaker 7: how you know how my Twitter.
Speaker 4: Game is terrible, worse than.

Speaker 9: can't remember which one it was, but it was a
Speaker 9: boxer's like I think it was like their top ten

Speaker 2: accepted it. Yeah, no, all the time. We're gonna make
Speaker 2: sure you know all the time.
Speaker 4: Nah.
Speaker 7: Now, the reason why I kind of pulled back from
Speaker 7: Twitter is because they know my conversations.
Speaker 4: They know how I am on Twitter. The one time
Speaker 4: I was active on Twitter, almost had to fight a nigga.
Speaker 1: Cover the cover the cover scenario.
Speaker 25: Yeah oh that yeah, yeah, yeah, Well we'll take that
Speaker 25: time about We'll talk about that offline because I can't

Speaker 4: like okay, where you at? And went straight to the
Speaker 4: d ms. After that, it wasn't no, I ain't going

Speaker 9: Yeah, the old Saturday Night, the nineteen ninety two me
Speaker 9: on joint, Taylor did that joint.
Speaker 1: Taylor is no longer active on Twitter. They're more active

Speaker 1: one of the most beautiful humans I've ever had the
Speaker 1: pleasure of speaking to, just great, great person, somebody I
Speaker 1: I care about very dearly. They created the essence of
Speaker 1: b g W WE.
Speaker 9: We wouldn't have an identity without them.
Speaker 7: And what about the people that made like the the.

Speaker 11: just just talking and exchanging our ideas, like Taylor, just
Speaker 11: good fucking people, good people.
Speaker 4: It was always official. He's always in my book guys.
Speaker 4: You guys know I mean Scott and little Hell Smart.
Speaker 4: You need.
Speaker 1: Heartbreak, Julio heartbreak, There would be legit no BGW if
Speaker 1: it wasn't for Heartbury Coolio.
Speaker 9: I think that I've had an opportunity to actually tell
Speaker 9: him that it was his original podcast that he was
Speaker 9: doing before the Dominac show that molded how I wanted
Speaker 9: b GW to sound and be, and it was just
Speaker 9: dope to just hear authentic, raw conversations. Heartbreak Julio in
Speaker 9: genuine in my opinion, the greatest to ever do it
Speaker 9: in this space. I love them, brothers dearly shout out
Speaker 9: to shout out to dre In them over there, but yeah,
Speaker 9: heartbreak Coolio.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 9: The greatest heel next to Nolo Green uh, the former
Speaker 9: BGW Predictions champion Zach Underwood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, certified, certified, gooon man certified. For those that don't know,
Speaker 1: Zach Underwood.
Speaker 9: Is my dog, uh and he is one of the
Speaker 9: rudest individuals I've ever had in contact with. I told
Speaker 9: him that he was inducted into the BGW Hall of Fame,
Speaker 9: and he proceeded to puff his nose at me and
Speaker 9: then walk out the room, So that lets you know
Speaker 9: what he thinks about this a war program. But he's
Speaker 9: a Hall of Famer nonetheless. But to those people, we
Speaker 9: genuinely love every.
Speaker 1: Single one of you. Thank you for what you've done
Speaker 1: to help BGW out And can't you think of a
Speaker 1: better inaugural class, if I might say so myself, Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yep, So heartbreak Julio.
Speaker 17: He definitely was one of the first, along with Low
Speaker 17: So I'm glad you're able to I'm glad you're here
Speaker 17: now those two and AO Bakers, well you those three
Speaker 17: individuals who are clearly well known in this space and
Speaker 17: like embraced me like I was a day one and
Speaker 17: that's something I don't take it for granted. That's not
Speaker 17: something I just look at sours because again I had
Speaker 17: reservations about joining this podcast because I you know, I
Speaker 17: don't have a lot of knowledge just I mean, I
Speaker 17: was a fan, but just didn't have the knowledge yet.
Speaker 2: But y'all made me feel like I was a brother
Speaker 2: like no other.
Speaker 17: And to this day, Heartbreak Julio, the video I did
Speaker 17: from him is still my favorite because it was a
Speaker 17: it was for a friend of a friend, like any
Speaker 17: person that's who Scott loves, you know, I love you,
Speaker 17: know what I mean, And then just to know all
Speaker 17: the other elements that came up along with it, and
Speaker 17: that was kind of like the first video that showed
Speaker 17: me like, all right, I'm really good at this ship.
Speaker 17: And it was because I did it for the for
Speaker 17: the love of the game, for brothers that I love.
Speaker 17: So I just wanted to add that little nugget.
Speaker 4: With a question, question, A lots of reasonable wrestling too.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, Christy, what's up?

Speaker 11: think we got it wrapped up as of yesterday. M
Speaker 11: J F and cold please give me a break. Is

Speaker 8: So there we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I.
Speaker 8: Don't I didn't care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like it's like somebody said, like the fact
Speaker 1: that Adam Cole is like cold, like so cold that
Speaker 1: like nobody cares. It's a sad state of affairs that
Speaker 1: Nigga used to be done.
Speaker 4: God, he was supposed to be. Did you drop it
Speaker 4: or the promotional companies?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I really just think it was just the injury injury.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't really figure out if he wants to be
Speaker 1: ten or if he wants to be pale.
Speaker 4: Did you speak on that?
Speaker 1: Hey, this is the season where the paleness does kick in.
Speaker 1: So I can't even say nothing.
Speaker 3: What your coat on?
Speaker 4: Ok? It down? And Antonio Brown and.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with uh, I'm gonna go with with
Speaker 9: Cole and m j F as my my final vote.
Speaker 9: That's been some terrible, terrible television like O T M.
Speaker 9: I can at least tolerate because they got Jana Parker.
Speaker 9: I can't tolerate nothing from m Cole and m j MM.
Speaker 28: She's talk never forget, never forget funny as ship, never forget.
Speaker 1: He's got on Kobe War's Internet.
Speaker 9: Yeah, gassing up will Osprey and MJF one hour Matt,
Speaker 9: like that was something to be proud of. I don't
Speaker 9: see that on anybody's twenty twenty four Match of the Year.
Speaker 1: Less.
Speaker 8: No, but the show, I thought it was good, and
Speaker 8: I like, I liked it.
Speaker 2: I just it was not top.
Speaker 17: I think I'm more I'm saying damn because of like
Speaker 17: the dissension of Adam Cole. I just yeah, heard that's
Speaker 17: one more saying like damn because I wasn't around for
Speaker 17: those nx T days, but I was able to catch
Speaker 17: highlights and like he was like the guy.
Speaker 3: You know what your homework assignment, homework assignment, it's to
Speaker 3: go to Ring of honor Adam Cole.
Speaker 2: Oh alright know, alright?
Speaker 17: No phenomenal like that Bullet.
Speaker 11: Club him versus Colorado, Him versus Colorado, Riley Russell Russell
Speaker 11: Kingdom eleven.
Speaker 8: Like became a three time ring on the Champion bro.
Speaker 2: No, I say less.
Speaker 17: I I think I'm more so disappointed because I came
Speaker 17: to Adam Cole late and I just thought I was
Speaker 17: gonna I was gonna have that same feeling. But mm
Speaker 17: hmm and Scott's voice.
Speaker 2: The game is the game.
Speaker 1: The game is the game, so the lose.
Speaker 11: It's just so like the Kendrick album, like y'all ain't
Speaker 11: fun with butterf.
Speaker 3: So like Adam like the one.
Speaker 9: I think we got our answer, Adam calling m J
Speaker 9: Booker of the Year person that had to turn and
Speaker 9: so I have two answers. I have two answers. But
Speaker 9: the person that had to pen this year, it just
Speaker 9: went crazy. Now in theory, Sean Michaels had twenty twenty
Speaker 9: vision and went crazy, you know what I mean, So
Speaker 9: it should be Sewn Michaels.
Speaker 3: But my pick.
Speaker 1: Are five Brothers known as bg W.
Speaker 9: You really like, when we're talking about elite level booking,
Speaker 9: you don't get no better than what takes place in BGW.
Speaker 9: In BGW, we have created some of the best storylines
Speaker 9: and concepts that never come to fruition because.
Speaker 1: Niggas be scared. I'm pretty sure I've seen and heard
Speaker 1: multiple storylines brought up on this podcast that have happened
Speaker 1: on w W E and a W product.
Speaker 4: M HM.
Speaker 1: So bg W is my my pick for Booker of
Speaker 1: the Year.
Speaker 17: That's pretty good, Scott, I like that that's pretty damn
Speaker 17: good man. You know what I told hb K I did. Yeah,
Speaker 17: I mean it's us. Look at the fucking trip.
Speaker 11: I've been hearing some good things, man, all year. I
Speaker 11: was hearing some good things. When you know an announcement
Speaker 11: got made a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, very good
Speaker 11: quality booking.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 9: We you know, we bringing in you know, bringing in
Speaker 9: a great creative team, right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Just filling the void with.
Speaker 1: Nothing, filling the the the the chairs with nothing but
Speaker 1: geniuses is what we knew over here at b g W,
Speaker 1: not w c w's creative team. You feel me, so.
Speaker 7: Yeah, fuck up the damn ship?
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey dog, Hey, I feel your fan. I had
Speaker 3: to fix my damn laptop because the ship was up.
Speaker 3: She was about to die.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but yeah, no, no, did you get a chance
Speaker 9: to hear who are picked for Booker of the Years?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You said us, Yes, at the top, it's just us.
Speaker 8: Yes, when John Moxley saying that when that video package
Speaker 8: before full gear, that can only be one king, hm hmm.
Speaker 8: You know, and it's on the logo mm hmmm mm hmm.
Speaker 4: But hard to Scotland ain't gonna live, Bro, when you would.
Speaker 7: Come up with your fantasy booking, like I was always
Speaker 7: intrigued by this ship. So I can't take too much
Speaker 7: of the credit of it, because like a lot of
Speaker 7: your fantasy booking, you'll go down the line, You'll go
Speaker 7: down to history. Then you bring up last like a
Speaker 7: long time story booking of why you wanted this to happen,
Speaker 7: and be like, damn that sense.
Speaker 1: So I have been I appreciate you saying that, brother.
Speaker 9: Genuinely, I be bored at work and so I be
Speaker 9: re like redoing storylines when I'm just like jotting stuff down.
Speaker 9: So I have currently in my notebook, like I think
Speaker 9: I rebooked the the nwor wolf Pack, I booked what
Speaker 9: a Brett Hard stayed after the Montreal.
Speaker 8: I think.
Speaker 4: On the show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've had this, uh, this long term story of
Speaker 1: the Undertaker versus the Great Muda, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's something I've been I've been debating about bringing.
Speaker 9: To the to the YouTube, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: It's just been thinking about it, been thinking about it.
Speaker 7: You should, Bro, It's a lot of those type of
Speaker 7: podcasts I'm here about. Like my my significant other, she
Speaker 7: she always listened to, like those mystery.
Speaker 4: Podcasts and stuff.
Speaker 7: Like that, and and and also like the fantasy and
Speaker 7: stuff like what if this would have happened? What a
Speaker 7: butterfly effect would have went had shifted left instead of right?
Speaker 7: So it will be a lot of ears so us that,
Speaker 7: especially in the resting space. Bro, so hey, put a
Speaker 7: trigger on that.
Speaker 8: Bro.
Speaker 4: I'll support you.
Speaker 1: Thank you, brother, thank you already.
Speaker 8: Yes, sir, amazing great guy.
Speaker 3: An amazing brother right there. Look at this love. Look
Speaker 3: at this love.
Speaker 7: Can't you can't handle that love? Can't man, can't even
Speaker 7: know couldn't Why would you because you used to Hey
Speaker 7: the nigga, and you should all this bad happening.
Speaker 8: Towards because that's what I'm not like.
Speaker 1: It's the way in the way, the fact that we
Speaker 1: can't see him.
Speaker 3: You can't. We can't see nothing.
Speaker 4: I can't see anybody.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see us back?
Speaker 4: What the what happened?
Speaker 3: I don't know? Video package of ye.
Speaker 17: Check those three buttons on the side and see if
Speaker 17: you can add yourself back to the stage.
Speaker 1: Me. Yeah, video package of the year the time. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean?
Speaker 9: Clearly we have our own visionary but you know the
Speaker 9: vision of putting together a story in a matter of
Speaker 9: minutes so that people can get kind of caught up
Speaker 9: on the feud, but they do it in a creative way.
Speaker 9: My video package of the year my goat sting his
Speaker 9: retirement video of him sitting in the theater.
Speaker 1: He's watching all the big screen. Oh my god, the
Speaker 1: highlights of the career.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: When I tell you, tears tears in my eyes.
Speaker 9: I was just like, I am not ready for anything
Speaker 9: that's about to happen after this, And it just turned
Speaker 9: out to be a beautiful, beautiful package. And yeah, that's
Speaker 9: that would probably be my my absolute pick for video
Speaker 9: package of the year.
Speaker 8: Can I go next?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 1: You're the one that brought it up. You're the one
Speaker 1: that put this together?
Speaker 8: Tellus, aren't you? Glad? I added this category?
Speaker 11: Very much I ain't think about but for me, you know,
Speaker 11: this kind of comes with a you know, little thing,
Speaker 11: little story.
Speaker 8: It's been a lot this year for aw Right.
Speaker 11: Aw has been said that they've had a terrible year.
Speaker 11: It's been this, It's been that. I don't think aw
Speaker 11: has had a terrible year. I think that this was like, again,
Speaker 11: this is a very young wrestling company right in terms
Speaker 11: of like the other wrestling companies we know and how
Speaker 11: long they've been around as far as the major ones go. Right, However,
Speaker 11: I think that the video package that was right at
Speaker 11: the end of the full Gear Zero Hour if y'all
Speaker 11: go to YouTube for Gear, had they pre showed zero
Speaker 11: Hours on YouTube, it's right like thirty minutes before the
Speaker 11: end of the broadcast, right, there's a video package.
Speaker 8: It's nine minutes.
Speaker 11: It's it's you know what I mean, It's it's crazy,
Speaker 11: but it kind of gives like the chronology of like
Speaker 11: the last few months in AW and they use November
Speaker 11: Rain by Guns n' Roses, really beautiful song. But the
Speaker 11: way that they did that, I think for people who
Speaker 11: necessarily haven't been catching up with AW as recent can
Speaker 11: watch that video package instantly be caught up.
Speaker 8: I mean, ship, you could watch that video video pack.
Speaker 11: You could have watched that video package right before World's end, right,
Speaker 11: and certain things like still make sense about the things
Speaker 11: that they're layering in that video package, and like you
Speaker 11: know this, you know we got a second Mercedes and
Speaker 11: stat Match Classic, you dig what I'm saying. So that
Speaker 11: video package and everything with it, even like they circled
Speaker 11: back around to the death Rider issue at the end
Speaker 11: of it did the hurt business thing like. It was
Speaker 11: just like a beautiful like. It was one of the
Speaker 11: best I think wrestling video packages I've seen in my
Speaker 11: life at the time in which I was watching it
Speaker 11: in real time. And again we can go back and
Speaker 11: consider others, but that's the one for me to share
Speaker 11: for sure. Full Gear right before the broadcast started on appreciaw.
Speaker 3: Indeed mine is Mine. I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Ironically, i will go with the Daniel Brian going into
Speaker 3: all in like like the Joints when they used Green Bay,
Speaker 3: not Green Day, Green Day's song, Yes, And I just
Speaker 3: thought it was really dope because it just added into
Speaker 3: like the story of everything because he did an interview
Speaker 3: and they asked what song he would want to like
Speaker 3: retire to, and that was the song and then they
Speaker 3: used it with it. It was just perfect the way
Speaker 3: that everything went along show in his career and everything
Speaker 3: that was going on and yeah man and going into
Speaker 3: the match. It was just perfect of how everything just
Speaker 3: came together. So that's my choice of it.
Speaker 8: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: Uh, I'm going with the metro Booming video package leading
Speaker 4: up to a Bad Love The movie. I'm biased because
Speaker 4: I was there.
Speaker 1: But that was a great video.
Speaker 3: That was very That was great though, because.
Speaker 7: Like I wasn't expected, like see, like we all we're
Speaker 7: all englfed into the hip hop of culture and that's
Speaker 7: why you know, we all, you know, we in this together.
Speaker 4: But seeing that he is one of the few that's.
Speaker 7: Not afraid to to embrace that and then being one
Speaker 7: of the top hip hop you know fixtures in you know,
Speaker 7: like that in that room embracing it and also tanging
Speaker 7: along with w W, but also WWE embracing him into it.
Speaker 7: He did, you know what I'm saying, Like it's easy to
Speaker 7: put like a Travis Scott in there.
Speaker 4: It's easy to put you know, damn I'm to say
Speaker 4: his name puff.
Speaker 7: It's easy to put people like that in there because
Speaker 7: of you know, the cache that they have, they.
Speaker 4: Like they up there, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: But having somebody that's not quite up in the top
Speaker 7: tier room of that because he's a producer, but he
Speaker 7: produced a lot of fire records that that's e golf
Speaker 7: into like a hip hop culture, but also being a
Speaker 7: big ass wrestling fan that knows like he's in the note,
Speaker 7: you know, what I'm saying, I'm pretty sure if we
Speaker 7: have him on the podcast now, he'll be spitting facts.
Speaker 4: Just like one of us. So by side of that,
Speaker 4: it was.
Speaker 7: Just a dope It was a dope picture them being
Speaker 7: in Atlanta having you know, Mark Luther Cody in there
Speaker 7: as well, you know, you know, leading like leading that,
Speaker 7: and I was like, Yo, this is a this really
Speaker 7: is a dope era of wrestling as a whole. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's bringing back that feel of the mixture of the
Speaker 7: main stream with you know, the resting coaches that we
Speaker 7: have to ourselves. And in the final vignette that they
Speaker 7: had They're at Bad Blood, I think that was just
Speaker 7: I think I think that was a dope ass package.
Speaker 4: No dig.
Speaker 17: I went staying with nolovd my goat Brian Danson page.
Speaker 17: I'm a huge old school Green Day fan, so that
Speaker 17: that was just perfect.
Speaker 2: Uh. It was definitely you know, before.
Speaker 17: We have to preferences like this because it is important
Speaker 17: before we knew, you know what I'm saying, what we
Speaker 17: knew about Swerve, that whole idea of that match, that
Speaker 17: thing happened in the package. It was top tier and
Speaker 17: just in the wrestling confines of what we're talking about.
Speaker 8: It was a.
Speaker 17: That match is definitely a top five match of the year.
Speaker 17: It couldn't have gone any better between him and Swerve.
Speaker 17: They literally told the phenomenal story, especially Brian Dance and
Speaker 17: his kid there. But yeah, that package leading up to it,
Speaker 17: there are always i mean, obviously we would have loved
Speaker 17: to see, you know, the w W stuff within that package,
Speaker 17: but we know what it is, so it's fine. But
Speaker 17: even even take the w W career away, put it
Speaker 17: on the shelf, put into the pocket. His RH run
Speaker 17: was phenomenal, then his short lived AW run phenomenal, Like
Speaker 17: that's just how good, that's how great he is. You
Speaker 17: put that on the sholve and he still had the
Speaker 17: Hall of Fame career. So the way they were able
Speaker 17: to I'm a you know, obviously I'm a sucker for
Speaker 17: a cinema.
Speaker 2: I'm a sucker for telling the more with the less.
Speaker 17: They were able to still tell the whole body of
Speaker 17: a story even without that significant part of his story
Speaker 17: that led up all the way through that match.
Speaker 2: That's really good editing, that's really.
Speaker 17: Good cinematography, storytelling, But that's really just making sure that
Speaker 17: you are able to really paint the picture of what
Speaker 17: Brian Danson is not only to us but to this game.
Speaker 17: So for me, and then, like I said, the music
Speaker 17: was perfect, the match was perfect, the leader was perfect.
Speaker 17: Everything about that to that point was I feel like
Speaker 17: a proper send off for one of the greatest of
Speaker 17: all time.
Speaker 1: My final vote will be Brian. I'll go with Brian.
Speaker 3: Oh make it the next category.
Speaker 16: I got you Don't You Worry?
Speaker 1: Match of the Year quent essential of the graps. Right,
Speaker 1: But a lot of phenomenal matches took place this year,
Speaker 1: a lot of matches that I would put in my
Speaker 1: all time categories. Brian Danielson Zach Saber Junior from February,
Speaker 1: New Japan. One of my all time favorite matches, Will
Speaker 1: Osbury Michael Oku. Credible match, incredible match, just from a
Speaker 1: a sentimental standpoint. Brian Danielson, Nigel mcginnon incredible, will Ospury Swerve.
Speaker 1: Just so many matches you can you can go to.
Speaker 9: But my match of the year the aw Tag Team Championships,
Speaker 9: the Young Bucks, the going against Sting and Darby Island,
Speaker 9: and Sting's retirement match for North Carolina. This is we're
Speaker 9: talking about a Sunday, a Sunday pay per view, and
Speaker 9: we all know the tourists that aw will always go
Speaker 9: over that midnight hour when I tell you, I was
Speaker 9: sitting up just in in all, I was not missing
Speaker 9: my Legit goats last match because I knew for a
Speaker 9: fact this was definitely going.
Speaker 1: To be Sting's last match. That man is old, that man.
Speaker 9: Is not coming back, not coming back, coming back, but
Speaker 9: just to have, like I said, the video package. Then
Speaker 9: Sting comes out and he has his two sons. His
Speaker 9: son's dressed up as you know what I mean, the surfer.
Speaker 9: Sting has other son dressed up as wolfpex Sting. The
Speaker 9: match Bell to Bell is one of my all time favorites.
Speaker 9: And y'a't know how I feel about the young Bucks,
Speaker 9: but they plaid the perfect foils to what was happening,
Speaker 9: and I will say this probably was the match. My
Speaker 9: opinion of Darby Allen fully changed because I always got
Speaker 9: on the podcast and said, if it.
Speaker 1: Wasn't for Sting, Darby Allen, be the fuck out of here.
Speaker 1: But the things, if my Goat says you're.
Speaker 9: Okay, then you must be okay, right because Sting stuck
Speaker 9: with this nigga forever.
Speaker 1: And if we all know the latter spot that the
Speaker 1: ladder spot, one of the wildest spots I've ever seen
Speaker 1: done in pro And keep in mind, Darby was supposed
Speaker 1: to climb Mount Everest shortly after, like I think like
Speaker 1: two weeks after this, until fate had had different plans.
Speaker 9: But the fact that, and keep in mind, and this
Speaker 9: is the last thing I'll say, retirement in wrestling doesn't
Speaker 9: usually happen often, right, we might see the retirement, they
Speaker 9: might be back in a few years. This was the
Speaker 9: perfect send off for in my opinion, the greatest of
Speaker 9: all time. The fact that he got to go out
Speaker 9: on his own merit, staying at any point in his
Speaker 9: aw n did not embarrass himself. It could have been
Speaker 9: all over in twenty fifteen with Seth Rawns. Thank god
Speaker 9: that it wasn't. Thank god he got to go out
Speaker 9: on his own his own merit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Just for me, that honestly might be my all time
Speaker 9: favorite match ever because it's just like it's sting Man,
Speaker 9: it's my goat. So that's my match of the year.
Speaker 1: Beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 3: Absolutely did we.
Speaker 7: Want to see like Youngesting, of course, but we knew
Speaker 7: what we was going to see. He gave us everything,
Speaker 7: he had everything and I do mean like down to
Speaker 7: his sons, even down to the to the intro bringing
Speaker 7: back the w c W thing, not the not the
Speaker 7: crossing thing that and.
Speaker 1: Then and then and then and then and and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, search and destroy, baby.
Speaker 7: I think we all popped in the group chat was like,
Speaker 7: oh ship, like they brought back that thing.
Speaker 4: That's all part of you know what made.
Speaker 7: It's corny what I'm about to say, but it all
Speaker 7: what makes the magic happen.
Speaker 4: He did, you know what I'm saying. So, but so
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with Stinny as well.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Hey, no, I'm wrong with that, bro. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with uh. In regards to the same
Speaker 3: the same match that had to do my video package,
Speaker 3: it is Swerve and Brian Danielson. I thought the lead
Speaker 3: up to the match was great. Anytime that we get
Speaker 3: to hear final countdown, it's a it's a beautiful moment.
Speaker 3: My man, my man, Brian Danielson coming down the ramp,
Speaker 3: kissing his babies, kissing his lady, going in Swerve having
Speaker 3: one of the best interests with vun be Uh that
Speaker 3: gear he had cold just fire with everybody's head on
Speaker 3: the stake that he had defeated the match itself. Will
Speaker 3: is a beautiful story. H great moments of when Brian
Speaker 3: Danielson he's getting kicked and he's said I love you
Speaker 3: to his family for every time Sword kicked him. Uh,
Speaker 3: when he hit Swerve with the most psycho knee and
Speaker 3: it didn't phase him at all. Probably what the coldest
Speaker 3: ships I've seen this year when he just waits dust
Speaker 3: that ship off and hit him with a house call.
Speaker 3: And just the ending of the match when he would
Speaker 3: prevail and defeasts were to continue his wrestling career and
Speaker 3: become the aw champion.
Speaker 8: Mm hmm, all good picks.
Speaker 11: My match of the year is Brian Danielson Little Aspirier
Speaker 11: Dynasty Again.
Speaker 8: Just a great match, hot crowd.
Speaker 11: I think that for me, like it gives me some
Speaker 11: vibes of Kenny Danielson from Grand Slam, and it's funny
Speaker 11: to keep oning like you know this, this this parallel
Speaker 11: ism between Kenny and Will is really interesting to me,
Speaker 11: and I'm still trying to explo or and figure it
Speaker 11: out as we go along. And you know, Kenny's back,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, so we can't see what
Speaker 11: that's like even though he about to get back into
Speaker 11: it with Okada, but this match was just awesome. You
Speaker 11: did know what I'm saying, And I mean, you know,
Speaker 11: you know, Katana strikes the yes chance again.
Speaker 8: Man, I said it. You know, we were talking about Michael.
Speaker 11: Oku and Wills on this very programmed and you know,
Speaker 11: speaking about move sets and things like that, man, and
Speaker 11: that you know it ended it right that the Tiger
Speaker 11: Driver ninety seven. Yeah, you know, and and I mean, granted,
Speaker 11: you know, all of these dameson moments this year have
Speaker 11: been like top notch, but the match of the year
Speaker 11: for me is from them from Dynasty.
Speaker 2: Drew McIntire seeing Punk Hell in the cell bad Blood,
Speaker 2: whoa hey man, he man, Hey, if nothing else.
Speaker 17: Was a year, Hey, okay, yeah, my fucking head, pure
Speaker 17: hatred cat Wingiams opened the portal and it just kept
Speaker 17: rolling on from there.
Speaker 2: It just kept getting better and better.
Speaker 17: And Drew McIntire, seeing Punk, said let's turn this ship
Speaker 17: up and get some blood flowing. And god damn it,
Speaker 17: that's what we got. That's who we one, motherfucking guy.
Speaker 17: All jokes aside, uh, phenomenal match, phenomenal clothes out of
Speaker 17: that chapter. We wanted violence, we got it. We got
Speaker 17: it early. Uh, they did not disappoint. They gave us everything.
Speaker 17: One we even got like actual graps.
Speaker 2: In the midst of that ship. Young mean that that
Speaker 2: surprised the funk out of I was like, oh, is
Speaker 2: that a sharp shorter? Okay?
Speaker 3: Cool?
Speaker 14: Cool?
Speaker 3: Cool cool?
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was.
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 17: You you live for those type of and I'll call
Speaker 17: it a dream Masters show, especially with the rise of
Speaker 17: Drew McIntyre and the way he was able to pivot
Speaker 17: his career this year. He made himself a man event player,
Speaker 17: so he made himself like, okay, a dream match is
Speaker 17: Drew McIntyre seapoint true could always grap like that's never
Speaker 17: been a question. But like you said, Scott, he elevated
Speaker 17: himself to, Oh, I'm a main event guy.
Speaker 2: You can't just question me anymore. You're gonna have to
Speaker 2: put me in there.
Speaker 17: And he bet on himself and it worked out and
Speaker 17: he and he found the right dance part because seeing
Speaker 17: points would still even at this age, he's still with
Speaker 17: the ship.
Speaker 3: He's never gonna not.
Speaker 2: Be with the ship.
Speaker 17: So that to me was just the quintusension because of
Speaker 17: what the year symbolized, what we wanted and what we
Speaker 17: actually got.
Speaker 2: We wanted the turn of one of the violence.
Speaker 17: It went above me on on then unless they probably
Speaker 17: could have did was was throw one of yourself off
Speaker 17: the goddamn ring. But uh that they probably would have
Speaker 17: almost died. So no, yeah, that was the ship. That
Speaker 17: was that type ship, and uh it it warmed my
Speaker 17: heart up with violence to see that ship.
Speaker 2: Oh love it, I love.
Speaker 1: It or you know me. For my final pick, fuck
Speaker 1: Brian Danielson, Fuck his fragile, azed body. Fucked them kids,
Speaker 1: the greatest retirement of all time, Match of the year
Speaker 1: one hundred. You know what I mean. My goat walked
Speaker 1: out on his own merit, you feel me?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 9: My goat, My goat took an ashball bit he got up.
Speaker 3: He didn't get a plastic bag put over his face.
Speaker 1: I feel did not because you know why State won't
Speaker 1: having that ship?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 1: Was he getting more sting money for that plastic bag?
Speaker 1: I'm saying.
Speaker 2: The check clear, did the check? That's all we need
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 1: There is no difference between ninety six Steve boarding and
Speaker 1: Steve boarding.
Speaker 3: From my pick, I will go with things last match
Speaker 3: I'll do We'll go with that one.
Speaker 2: Oh ship forgot Yeah, I'm with that.
Speaker 8: Let's do it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that was must tea.
Speaker 11: It was we all watched that in real time, right, absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I stayed up.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, they have worked the next day, man, I
Speaker 11: was also ready.
Speaker 1: We got five more left, gentlemen, five more left and
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna wrap it up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, show with the year top the bottom. My pick
Speaker 9: Backlash Pei France. One of the greatest crowds I've ever heard.
Speaker 9: Everything about Yeah, everything about that. That card just just
Speaker 9: was is hitting on all cylinders. Capped off with an incredible,
Speaker 9: incredible match between Cody Rhoads AJ Styles, a match that
Speaker 9: I very much watched because the sentiment beforehand was that
Speaker 9: AJ Styles was washed and that was fucking insane to me.
Speaker 9: Then saying it now is even crazier. The fact that
Speaker 9: they said Alan Jones was a washed individual. Naga sure washed? Nah? Yeah, No,
Speaker 9: that just everything about that, even like the because I
Speaker 9: just saw the clip of AJ getting introduced in the
Speaker 9: crowd doing the chant for him, and you can tell
Speaker 9: how much that really meant to him, Because I really
Speaker 9: think A j like he heard the rumblings, like damn
Speaker 9: do I I really I really feel like he genuinely
Speaker 9: thought he may not have it with the audience anymore,
Speaker 9: and he went on and put an incredible performance on
Speaker 9: So my big backlash Franks, that.
Speaker 4: Is a thick. I'm gonna go with WrestleMania Night two.
Speaker 17: Ninety two. I'm sorry man had to leave after that.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Man Chas was like, I want to watch Brett Hard,
Speaker 1: Roddy Piper or.
Speaker 3: What get ship out my TV?
Speaker 7: We got this goddamn resumed in twelve.
Speaker 3: No, I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: That's all right, man.
Speaker 4: It was uh nice.
Speaker 7: Night one had told a good story to lead up
Speaker 7: tonight to oh yeah, y'all need to told you was
Speaker 7: freezing y'all.
Speaker 11: It was better in Philadelphia today than it was on
Speaker 11: those combined two days in April.
Speaker 8: Ain't that? Ain't that a bitch? Was sixty degrees and
Speaker 8: say good football weather. But god damn.
Speaker 9: Put it like this, just to put it just I
Speaker 9: don't mean to interrupt, man, just to put it into context.
Speaker 9: My girl was shivering like we were high up, like
Speaker 9: she was ship. I did not want her to get sick.
Speaker 9: When she said that she wanted to leave, I was like, Yo,
Speaker 9: thank god, I'm gonna go with Jordan Onst.
Speaker 3: Of this show in the comfort of.
Speaker 1: This war Mass hotel, drinking of coffee and being warm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was crazy. I was still there. It was
Speaker 3: so cold. It didn't got as the night just with
Speaker 3: it all, it just got colder, colder.
Speaker 7: But it gave me like all the fields of like
Speaker 7: why I became a wrestling fan.
Speaker 8: Bro.
Speaker 7: It was like the nuances of like what's going on now,
Speaker 7: all the way up to when Cody run won the
Speaker 7: belt at the end of the night. It reminded me
Speaker 7: of Lex Luger.
Speaker 4: Brett Hart when everybody had came up to the ring
Speaker 4: and know, congratulating and bring the mother on his shoulders.
Speaker 7: So it's like it was like, I think we're gonna
Speaker 7: see that, We're gonna see that resume at ninety two.
Speaker 4: It's like one of the one, one of the one.
Speaker 1: The Rock came back.
Speaker 7: It's the mean you know what I'm saying, Like everything
Speaker 7: coming up to it, like uh, the Undertaker, everybody doing anything.
Speaker 4: You know what I mean.
Speaker 7: So that's why I said, like resumd Night too is
Speaker 7: one of them shows. It was like, damn, bro, that's
Speaker 7: I'll go back.
Speaker 4: And watch it. I don't know.
Speaker 8: As weather though South Philadelphia nights.
Speaker 2: Man, I agree with that pick. But let me tell
Speaker 2: you something. Man, if we would have heard that glass break.
Speaker 1: Oh, that would have been.
Speaker 8: The kid in front of me, I would I would
Speaker 8: have kicked him and stunned him. This was a kid.
Speaker 8: I was slugging him all weekend. He would you predicted
Speaker 8: the Damian cash and it was. He was a good
Speaker 8: ass kid.
Speaker 11: Also, Bubba Ray was in My Row night one. Him
Speaker 11: and Bubba Rat was arguing on when that was a
Speaker 11: Layers bro. Yeah, if what Steve, oh.
Speaker 2: My gosh, that he would have crazy man.
Speaker 3: It was cool, long, cool strip.
Speaker 8: It was that ship. It was that ship. But if
Speaker 8: we would have got oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: The thing that I'll say about WRESTLEMDIA Night two is
Speaker 3: that if I had the show, like someone who hasn't
Speaker 3: watched wrestling in a very long time, that would be
Speaker 3: my perfect show to watch. I'd been like, hey, watch this, yeah,
Speaker 3: and watch this to get back into with it, to
Speaker 3: see what they got going on. My pick is to
Speaker 3: continue with my theme. All in twenty twenty four, that
Speaker 3: is my pick for the show of the year. You
Speaker 3: had great, great moments like sick outliner, Hey bro, hey bro.
Speaker 3: All the greater moments made everything else great. That everything
Speaker 3: else that wasn't that good, Let's do that. Hey, Nijel
Speaker 3: McGinnis came back. You know how happy word Nigga? Do
Speaker 3: you remember? I remember Nigga exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: I text everybody in the group chat the second he
Speaker 1: came out.
Speaker 3: I did, I remember exactly. That's what I'm saying. Like there,
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. There was downsides to it, but
Speaker 3: there was the upsides make up for everything else that happened.
Speaker 3: It was amazing. Almost every match was spectacular hitting, minus
Speaker 3: the the m j F one that I didn't really
Speaker 3: care about before, and that the one match Mercedes had
Speaker 3: the worst matches her uh, her year.
Speaker 2: I don't remember that.
Speaker 3: I didn't see that. We don't know. I like that.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: But nah man, spectacular night with all in uh and
Speaker 3: that crowd was also cooking out there and uh out
Speaker 3: there in England and whatnot.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's my kick, Yeah.
Speaker 11: That's mine as well. All in twenty twenty four we
Speaker 11: get we get a Mariah May title victory, right, and
Speaker 11: it kind of starts her thing off. I mean, you know,
Speaker 11: I think this is Mariah May's breakout year also.
Speaker 8: But I think this Top to Bottom was a good show.
Speaker 8: I think that for one, coming.
Speaker 11: Into this show, everybody had a lot of high like expectations,
Speaker 11: high hopes whatever. We're returning from the scene of the
Speaker 11: Crown from twenty twenty three, Scotland.
Speaker 8: Said with me, real glass, So you know we were excited.
Speaker 8: We were excited for all the.
Speaker 2: I think the show it it it, you know it.
Speaker 11: It didn't exceed expectation necessarily, but it met them. But
Speaker 11: like Wimbley stayed in for me, it's just like amazing.
Speaker 11: I just you know, you know, I went there when
Speaker 11: I was a kid, but you know, and I could
Speaker 11: have said a night too, you know I was there,
Speaker 11: but you know, watching Wimbley.
Speaker 8: From home, comfort of my own home, cooking my own food,
Speaker 8: it was amazing. So not cold, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: It was it was summertimes, a month after my birthday.
Speaker 8: I'm cooling, you know what I mean. So it was
Speaker 8: a great time.
Speaker 1: You know, I will say I'll probably from my final
Speaker 1: vote even gave his answer my bad.
Speaker 3: What.
Speaker 17: Brother, this is an underrated gym To me, I think, yeah,
Speaker 17: I don't see I an't see anybody else pick NXT,
Speaker 17: But I think No Mercy was probably my favorite card
Speaker 17: that I I fully enjoyed from top to bottom. It
Speaker 17: was still around that time where the n X T
Speaker 17: T and they think was you know, I means hot
Speaker 17: like fish Grease. It might have been to like the
Speaker 17: top of the top because I know Joe Hendry was
Speaker 17: what you think for the world title, and that was
Speaker 17: when the buzz was just out of this world. Hold
Speaker 17: on a second, ob Femmy, you know what I mean, Tony,
Speaker 17: d Uh. They put on a banger.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 17: That tag match though, that fucking chase, you fracks some
Speaker 17: tag match hotter than motherfucking fish Grease. On smer degree
Speaker 17: ninety eight, that ship was fucking amazing. I just made
Speaker 17: some sh up. It's made some ship up, But No,
Speaker 17: I thought that ship was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Top to bottom. It was a great car.
Speaker 17: But the one the main reason why I come back
Speaker 17: to this one, this was the breakout performance of Jada Parker.
Speaker 17: This was the one where it was like, I'm here,
Speaker 17: this is what it is so and it's no going
Speaker 17: back for me. After this match, she that proma before
Speaker 17: she walked out. I used it in the video. It
Speaker 17: was phenomenal. I don't know if it was playing, I
Speaker 17: don't know it was off the cuff, but that shit
Speaker 17: was phenomenal and she delivered. She showed why even in
Speaker 17: this short amount of time, I'm a main have been
Speaker 17: player on this NXT roster.
Speaker 2: And moving forward when it's my time. So yeah, NXT
Speaker 2: No Mercy was my favorite.
Speaker 1: Final vote. I'm gonna go all win. Yeah, I'll say
Speaker 1: all win. That was Yeah, from a from a top
Speaker 1: to bottom card, it was incredible, so I'll go with that.
Speaker 8: It was sequenced really well.
Speaker 11: The results, even the results of each match made since
Speaker 11: I know, we got the little thing with Mercedes and
Speaker 11: we got a long ass we had a marathon with
Speaker 11: m JF and Will, but yeah it was flawless, flawless
Speaker 11: ship Yeah yeah it flaws.
Speaker 8: Experience watching.
Speaker 1: Hit a rapid fire on this one. Before we get
Speaker 1: to the final three, the Teddy Long nong Wrestler of
Speaker 1: the Year with the Great Teddy Long himself my pick
Speaker 1: for non wrestler of the Year. It was a tough one.
Speaker 9: This this year was tough because, like I feel like
Speaker 9: it's a repeated answer, right, But Paul Haymon is my
Speaker 9: pick for non Wrestler of the Year, and it was honestly,
Speaker 9: it was a toss between him and Ava because I
Speaker 9: felt like Ava really came onto our own as a
Speaker 9: character this year. But I'm thinking of the performances that
Speaker 9: Paul Hayman put on this year, just like there, that's
Speaker 9: where there's levels one thing Paul Haymen. There's two things
Speaker 9: Paul Hayman is going to do in his life, and
Speaker 9: that scam you and put on a performance.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 9: Most of the time it's done in the same concept, right,
Speaker 9: but like the series after WrestleMania of him navigating without Roman,
Speaker 9: trying to figure out what the hell Solo is doing.
Speaker 1: So even like the the night where he got decimated
Speaker 1: by the new Blood mine and he just screamed in
Speaker 1: Solo like you're not my tribal chief. For Paul Haman
Speaker 1: to get a stone cold bubble pop like that cinema man,
Speaker 1: Paul Haman definitely my non Wrestler of the Year.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 3: I went with Prince Nana. I think Prince Nana has
Speaker 3: been able to get a bunch of a bunch of
Speaker 3: flowers this past few years, like for everything, like he's
Speaker 3: been in the game for a minute and this was
Speaker 3: definitely a breakout year for him. Everybody loves the little,
Speaker 3: the little Swerve dance he does with the with the theme.
Speaker 3: He got the whole crowd doing it offbeat like a motherfucker,
Speaker 3: the baby doing it, and him being involved in all
Speaker 3: the stories, him rocking out with Swerve this entire time,
Speaker 3: even the having the introduction of MVP and the Hurt
Speaker 3: Syndicate being involved with that storyline. But they take it
Speaker 3: when they basically was trying to take Swerve away from
Speaker 3: him and then Swore stood up for him. I just
Speaker 3: thought it was a nice touch, and now that would
Speaker 3: be my choice.
Speaker 1: His coffee prices are kind of crazy, but you know
Speaker 1: that's a story for nothing that.
Speaker 3: Hey, I ain't mad at him.
Speaker 4: Now, I'm gonna go to that.
Speaker 7: Nigga earned his check every inchest. All that was going hard, bro,
Speaker 7: he goes, He goes crazy hard. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 7: with Prince Nana for sure.
Speaker 8: Me definitely shout or No, man, I'm gonna go with Stokely.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 8: I really appreciate with Yeah, I really appreciate you.

Speaker 2: that's my nigga. I get it.
Speaker 3: Sometimes that's enough, right, thank you?
Speaker 1: You know, just like.
Speaker 9: Oh no, no, I was gonna say, I would love
Speaker 9: to ask non uh how like this is just from
Speaker 9: last night and giving out the toilet paper to the
Speaker 9: crowd for them to throw a ricochet, and I want
Speaker 9: to ask him how like how they like for him?
Speaker 1: How did that feel?
Speaker 9: And the context behind that For those that know that
Speaker 9: Riga Bonnory twenty two thousand and five, two thousand and six,
Speaker 9: for those that remember the embassy Prince Nana, Jimmy Rave,
Speaker 9: Jimmy Rave would get in the ring and that's where
Speaker 9: the toilet paper comes from. That's you know, I mean
Speaker 9: the crowd bowling toilet paper at Jimmy Raven Prince Nana.
Speaker 9: So I can imagine for Prince Nada like that last night.
Speaker 9: That shit hit my heart because for those that know
Speaker 9: Jimmy Rave Prince Nana one of the greatest wrestler manager
Speaker 9: combinations in the game.
Speaker 1: But that's all I want to say.
Speaker 2: All that was this one Na was grappling or.
Speaker 1: He he was like he maybe wrestled like one or
Speaker 1: two matches, but he was mainly managing.
Speaker 11: Oh okay, yeah, yeah, brother, Jimmy Rave, too many the idea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he died in this town till he died here.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the last few years of Jimmy Ray's lives was
Speaker 9: was absolutely tragic. Man, And Jimmy Ravens is definitely one
Speaker 9: of those guys, like if we would ever do a
Speaker 9: deep dive like his importance as a as a top
Speaker 9: level heel in the indie scene incredible, incredible, But yeah,
Speaker 9: shout out to Prince Nana.
Speaker 1: Tag Team harvem Heat Tag Team of the Year. I
Speaker 1: feel like like for all the tag teams, nobody's touching
Speaker 1: Nathan Fraser in Axelent, Like nobody no, like like everything, yeah,
Speaker 1: everything Nathan Fraser and Axelent have done from being opponents
Speaker 1: to being tag team partners for having the type of
Speaker 1: story where like they keep their friends, but they can't
Speaker 1: stand each other and they directly indirectly hit each other,
Speaker 1: but yet they somehow still win. Like that is going
Speaker 1: to be I'm do you know what, I'm confident in
Speaker 1: saying this. I am absolutely confident in saying this. Nathan
Speaker 1: Fraser and Axum are the Kevin Owens and Sammy Zay
Speaker 1: of this generation. They are destined to do this shit
Speaker 1: for ever.
Speaker 9: Right, They're gonna be tag team partners, They're gonna be opponents,
Speaker 9: They're gonna come back to being tating partners, and they
Speaker 9: go back to being opponents.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five will be.
Speaker 1: The feud of the year will be between those two.
Speaker 9: I've already said it on this podcast, the proposal masks
Speaker 9: versus hair.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they are my You're not lying. They are
Speaker 1: the best looking tax.
Speaker 11: Ta that's my big Yeah.
Speaker 1: I apologize. I got blinded by grass.
Speaker 11: I'm sorry either way either way, I apologize.
Speaker 4: So yeah, and uh and.
Speaker 7: Those two picks, I mean those pis right there, like
Speaker 7: the impact that they had, Like everybody just just had
Speaker 7: assumed once Jade came into the mix that they was
Speaker 7: going to be beefing, and then they made they made
Speaker 7: a stellar you know faction. You know, even with bringing
Speaker 7: in Naomi, who should be you know, in there in
Speaker 7: the mix with most improved too of what she did
Speaker 7: in tn A as well, you know what I mean,
Speaker 7: but like them two holding the belts bringing up validity
Speaker 7: in the in the tag titles, as far as like
Speaker 7: in the women's division ship they got more cash than
Speaker 7: the Judgment Day, as far as like a tag team Champions,
Speaker 7: meaning that you know, the.
Speaker 4: Judgment Day hadn't really defended it that well.
Speaker 29: He did what I'm saying, should he even go like
Speaker 29: with Motor City machine Guns when there's I still felt
Speaker 29: like Jay and Bionca tag title run was a little
Speaker 29: bit higher.
Speaker 4: On the pedestal, So I'm gonna go with them too.
Speaker 1: Was yeah, yeah, she's not wrong. Yeah, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, She's not wrong, he's not. I'm committing to
Speaker 1: my I'm committed to my answer.
Speaker 3: I have also committed.
Speaker 17: But the Yaka Naomi look good too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they look good because they're the ones that
Speaker 1: attacked Jade, you know what I mean? No, oh no, yeah,
Speaker 1: some of yo.
Speaker 9: Somebody somebody said Bailey did it because and they were
Speaker 9: like she did it for Naomi.
Speaker 3: That is whatever said that's the big key. So what's

Speaker 9: of the Year. Women went fucking crazy this year.
Speaker 1: Razy ernified, banger after banger after banger. I originally had
Speaker 1: picked Athena to win this. My pick has changed.
Speaker 9: My pick has changed mid show after thinking about it.
Speaker 9: My pick is Mercedes Monette. Great pick Mercedes Monette for
Speaker 9: the allegations of once again being washed, which is insane.
Speaker 9: Mercedes did not miss. Was it to the level where
Speaker 9: some people wanted it in the beginning? Maybe not, But
Speaker 9: it's not about how you start, it's all about how
Speaker 9: you finished. And that woman went but listen, in the
Speaker 9: final quarter, it was like the brit match was like, oh, y'all,
Speaker 9: niggas got me fucked up.
Speaker 3: She probably said that ship with the e R too.
Speaker 9: She went crazy, you know what I mean? The stat
Speaker 9: landing matches, I'm a nada no who was it that
Speaker 9: she she wrestled at a Capital Collision.
Speaker 2: Uh water water.
Speaker 16: Yeah yeah yeah, Momo Momo yeah yeah yeah, Momo Hazuki
Speaker 16: from just a couple of weeks ago, that five star classic.
Speaker 3: She brought it.
Speaker 9: Mina Yeah you know what I mean, like, oh yeah,
Speaker 9: it's about to have the match with minat wrestled Dynasty
Speaker 9: easily my women's wrestler of the pick. Athena was close
Speaker 9: second because she had an incredible year two. But I
Speaker 9: just feel like Mercedes just took it up to a notch.
Speaker 9: I feel like she finally like in confidence that may
Speaker 9: have been like scaling back, she brought it back.
Speaker 3: Mary Christmas the YouTube. Man, Bro, that's funny. So I'm
Speaker 3: gonna go with Fatina.
Speaker 1: That wasn't your original pick.
Speaker 3: It was not. I did not know everybody original was,
Speaker 3: so everybody who my original pick was Tony.
Speaker 1: And then you try to play it off like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know I gotta change my pick. No, nig stand
Speaker 1: on business stand on wait wait.
Speaker 3: You just change your pick?
Speaker 1: You like, literally just change your pick. Made an executive decision.
Speaker 1: You don't get to make the.
Speaker 3: Gas lighter, gas lighter, gas Meg, How are you going
Speaker 3: to come at me? For doing the same thing you
Speaker 3: just did, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: And I ask you a question, And I asked you
Speaker 1: a question. Yes, sir, when you always talk about your
Speaker 1: two favorite women's wrestlers, who are the two that you always.
Speaker 2: Picked, Willow and Athena?
Speaker 1: Right, So I would figure if you are a real fan,
Speaker 1: either one of them two would have won the award. No,
Speaker 1: you went with the Australian white woman who did fantastic
Speaker 1: work this year. But then when you you changed your
Speaker 1: pick when you saw that I had originally picked the Theena.
Speaker 1: That's not why I changed my pick. I changed I
Speaker 1: thought about it the same.
Speaker 3: You just did. Come on, tell them then, the same
Speaker 3: thing you just did. You changed your pick, except for
Speaker 3: I did it way earlier when we were in deliberations
Speaker 3: and the text messages that I thought, oh no, we're
Speaker 3: not going to bring this up. Why would we.
Speaker 1: Bring this up, because you don't have to yell, man,
Speaker 1: We're just having a conversation. Dog. It's just a.
Speaker 3: Hey, brother, no problem. I won't yell anymore. But to continue,
Speaker 3: what if I was saying the forever Champion, the fallen
Speaker 3: Goddess Athena. Athena. Athena has had an amazing run has
Speaker 3: been the r O H Women's champion for two years.
Speaker 3: There were even times I thought she was gonna lose.
Speaker 3: The most recent time she faced Billy, I thought she
Speaker 3: was gonna lose. I did not really think that Billy
Speaker 3: was gonna I thought Billy was gonna win this at
Speaker 3: what was the final battle?
Speaker 2: Is that the most recent yet?
Speaker 3: But gonna be it for And I was completely because
Speaker 3: Athena is amazing. Athena will always and she continued to be,
Speaker 3: if not the best, what the best wrestlers in this
Speaker 3: thing that professional wrestling.
Speaker 2: She is my of the year.
Speaker 4: H m hm.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with uh, I'm gonna go with Live Morgan.
Speaker 5: That's good, let's get That's what I'm gonna live.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 7: Like she came she came in there like this year,
Speaker 7: like she didn't have a lot of things going towards her,
Speaker 7: but she ended up, you know, and winning the TECH,
Speaker 7: I mean, winning the championship, coming into a fashion, being
Speaker 7: the leader of the faction, being one of the focal
Speaker 7: points of WWE, and you already know how I.
Speaker 4: Felt about him beforehand. So like I'm gonna go live
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 3: Also growthly correct, nothing is wrong with having Tony Storm
Speaker 3: as your pick. She did an amazing job this year. I
Speaker 3: just changed it, but she's amazing.
Speaker 4: I changed mine too.
Speaker 7: I had a Jada Parker, but ship she won one
Speaker 7: already and that was my vocal to be transparent. I
Speaker 7: had to win and everything. I had to win in
Speaker 7: every category on here.
Speaker 4: So you want to put up.
Speaker 11: Already changed fish sneaky all the way down man.
Speaker 2: Video package video.
Speaker 3: The non Wrestler of the Year.
Speaker 7: Yep, God damn it because she technically that uh what
Speaker 7: it was, the backstage bro ship she had with whatever
Speaker 7: the ship.
Speaker 4: Was when it took the ring the road down.
Speaker 2: About me.
Speaker 3: Now he's now he's talking about the ship with underground underground.
Speaker 7: I wasn't in the wrestling match. That was just beaming,
Speaker 7: so that's not in wrestling. So she could have won.
Speaker 30: That man facts she carrying him whatever.
Speaker 2: Nigga, Oh, yes, that's right, that's about right.
Speaker 3: M hmm.
Speaker 8: It's O t M.
Speaker 4: But that's not better whatever. W w W Winter Winter Winners.
Speaker 17: My pick was Tony for first and foremost. Shot out
Speaker 17: to Christy. She pretty much said everything that needed to
Speaker 17: be said. She took she took a lane and ran
Speaker 17: with it. Obviously she's always been a great wrestler, but
Speaker 17: her promos her the way she went back to the
Speaker 17: silent era of cinema, the whole spiel she committed to
Speaker 17: an inside of ring, outside of ring, and obviously my
Speaker 17: shit was between the thing that as well. But just
Speaker 17: thinking about the impact she had of a gimmick that
Speaker 17: came out of nowhere and carried her all the way
Speaker 17: through you know what I mean, in the twenty three,
Speaker 17: twenty twenty four, and now she's doing this whole fever
Speaker 17: dream forgetfulness shit like this is this is this is
Speaker 17: the part of the graps where we.
Speaker 2: Like on like feverine personal group brothers.
Speaker 17: All right, well cool, that's what you favor, only favor
Speaker 17: that's another conversation for another day. But if this is
Speaker 17: what you favor, if this is what you're looking for,
Speaker 17: if you're looking for more sober person, but the character.
Speaker 17: Not to say her graphs are terrible, but with a
Speaker 17: character and a gimmick and a scheme that is a
Speaker 17: main event quality, Tony Storm is your person. She did
Speaker 17: something that I did not see coming and she was
Speaker 17: talked about, you know, up there as far as not
Speaker 17: just in the women's division, but somebody that was leading
Speaker 17: the charge for wrestlers, I mean, top five just.
Speaker 2: Off of gimmick alone. That's that's really impressive to do.
Speaker 17: And to see how it flourished, to see how it
Speaker 17: she carried others along with her in her in her runs,
Speaker 17: more specifically Mariah May, whose runner is you know, a
Speaker 17: little bit questionable right now, But again another conversation the
Speaker 17: other day, it was phenomenal work. I made try to
Speaker 17: tune in every week to see how she was gonna
Speaker 17: deliver on the same product, and she she never ceased
Speaker 17: to amaze me.
Speaker 2: So hats off.
Speaker 17: To Tony Storm for what she did with bringing back the
Speaker 17: nineteen twenties type silent era of cinematography.
Speaker 11: M My personal pick is also Lil Morgan. I feel like,
Speaker 11: you know, things kind of start at that night after Mania,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean. I feel like Live is
Speaker 11: in like her opportunist edge, you know what I mean,
Speaker 11: raded r like era. Like that's that's what it reminded
Speaker 11: me of. Not a director, that's a good analogy, not
Speaker 11: you know what I mean, But it's like, that's what
Speaker 11: it reminded me of. Right, she got her attitude, she
Speaker 11: got her title, she got her nigga, you know what
Speaker 11: I mean, Like she feeding the chippen fingers.
Speaker 8: It's up.
Speaker 11: You know when she got her when when she ran
Speaker 11: up on Rhea at in like like you know this.
Speaker 8: Like the Sixers Wall, the Sixer's Tunnel.
Speaker 11: I know everybody saw the tweet where Ria was like
Speaker 11: I hate this fucking wall, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 11: When they came back to the Wells Fargo Center, but
Speaker 11: like like that that ship was just crazy.
Speaker 8: I was really concerned for me at that point.
Speaker 11: But like in promo, she's cutting after that, like you know,
Speaker 11: like damn, like y'all feeling all sorry for this girl
Speaker 11: when I was out like y'all wasn't y'all wasn't anybody
Speaker 11: had no sympathy for me, Like where was my ship at?
Speaker 8: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: Like I really appreciated that SummerSlam happens in Cleveland. It's
Speaker 11: the moment she get the kiss, and like from me,
Speaker 11: I think it's been about it. Have Morgan been staying
Speaker 11: on her ship all?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I think she's definitely the Women of the Year in
Speaker 11: w W specifically, but you know, women of the Year
Speaker 11: for my pick for this category.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Okay, So.
Speaker 1: As you said, Tony Athena, I'm gonna go with my
Speaker 1: final pick. I'm gonna go with Athena. I'm gonna go with.
Speaker 3: Athena.
Speaker 8: I'll take it.
Speaker 31: Oh lived had a crazy year though she lived absolutely
Speaker 31: solidified herself as like she one of the ones.
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 9: Finale the final war, gentlemen, we've made it three hours
Speaker 9: deep in the game. I guess the Ron Simmons Male
Speaker 9: Wrestler of the Year.
Speaker 8: A mm hmmm. I like that.
Speaker 1: This one was tough because I was like, no, loo,
Speaker 1: I was trying to debate between my heart and my mind,
Speaker 1: and my heart genuinely was telling me to say Zach
Speaker 1: Safer Junior, just because, like, even though it was low key,
Speaker 1: Zach's had had a phenomenal year, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: capped off winning the iw GP World Heavyweight Champion g
Speaker 1: one Winner Credible matches with Hitche Saro, Brian Danielson.
Speaker 9: Getting ready to headline Wrestle Kingdom. You know what I mean,
Speaker 9: They're show Umo Humano. But with that being said, I
Speaker 9: can't go against like when you you sit and you
Speaker 9: you you feel something in a match, and nobody to
Speaker 9: me has conveyed that more than will Osbury. Will is
Speaker 9: genuinely on a different like stratosphere, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: Like it reminds me and I actually put his twenty
Speaker 9: twenty four on where I would put Kenny Omega's twenty
Speaker 9: sixteen right. And I say that because in twenty sixteen
Speaker 9: I just wasn't on the Kenny train, Like I just
Speaker 9: wasn't there with Kenny Omega. And it wasn't until later
Speaker 9: where I was like, yo, I genuinely missed out on
Speaker 9: greatness because I wasn't truly paying attention. So with Will,
Speaker 9: I didn't want to do that with him this year.
Speaker 9: And the fact that this was his first year on
Speaker 9: American television, Like you know, you've heard will Osbury, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean, Like he's been around, but you
Speaker 9: know his main point was New Japan. The fact that
Speaker 9: he's been aw the fact that he's had the matches
Speaker 9: he's had with Kyle, with Swerve, with Brian Shoot, you
Speaker 9: know what I mean, Like he brought a good match
Speaker 9: out of NJF. Like that speaks a lot about who
Speaker 9: he is as a He's clearly the number one baby
Speaker 9: face in aw title or not. Yeah, will Oll spray
Speaker 9: to me, my male Wrestler of the Year.
Speaker 19: Oh Spray, ah Spray, I feel I feel you.
Speaker 3: So I when I was thinking about it, I sat
Speaker 3: here and it was basically between Cody, I Spray, and
Speaker 3: uh swear For me, those were my three and I
Speaker 3: went with swurve because for some reason I decided to
Speaker 3: do a theme just like d Back did. And I
Speaker 3: just feel like his run to winning the time his
Speaker 3: actual title reign of having it being the a W champion,
Speaker 3: he was definitely a top three a W champion with
Speaker 3: his reign. Yeah, him being the eighth one, he's one
Speaker 3: of the best ones. And uh from beating defeating his
Speaker 3: matches with Claudia, his match with Christian Cage, Defeatingojo for
Speaker 3: the title, and his eventual losing of the title match
Speaker 3: to Brian Danielson, like and when he defeated will Osprey
Speaker 3: another and another great match.
Speaker 2: Of the Uh he could also be considered a match
Speaker 2: of the year. Two.
Speaker 3: Uh the boys just at miss Man for for real
Speaker 3: when it was in that in that wrestling ring and
Speaker 3: he had he was definitely one of the bigger babyfaces
Speaker 3: before will Osprey got there. Uh and then yeah, yeah
Speaker 3: swerves swerves my overall choice for the for Wrestle of
Speaker 3: the Year.
Speaker 1: Good good pick.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Cody.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Cody for sure, like just leading
Speaker 7: up to like his WrestleMania this year, and in a
Speaker 7: little bit of a bias because of the platform that
Speaker 7: he built up before he even went to the main
Speaker 7: platform that he's at.
Speaker 4: Now, not saying that it was all.
Speaker 7: It was all like selfishness for him to get to
Speaker 7: where he wanted to go to, but it worked out
Speaker 7: for him.
Speaker 4: It worked out for him.
Speaker 7: Like he was the hottest wrestler in the world on
Speaker 7: a different platform at a particular time. Then Roman kind
Speaker 7: of came and took that crime from him, and then
Speaker 7: he went back and took it not too much, but
Speaker 7: there's one a one b almost ultimate Warrior Paul Kogan
Speaker 7: type stuff that's going on with them two over there
Speaker 7: and the fact and a little bit of heart and
Speaker 7: mind to the Caveano what Nola had said earlier about
Speaker 7: one of his picks, heart saying, you know, I feel
Speaker 7: with Cody, and y'all know, like if y'all been watching
Speaker 7: this pile, y'all know how I feel about Cody and
Speaker 7: what he has done for me at a wrestling event before,
Speaker 7: you know, showing up and giving me a T shirt
Speaker 7: and all this other stuff.
Speaker 4: And he was a heel.
Speaker 7: But even past that, just the hard work grit that
Speaker 7: he put into and doing something and having a legit
Speaker 7: storyline that came to everybody, like finished the finish the store,
Speaker 7: Finish the store, and then having a big platform, having
Speaker 7: the the the trust in him to finish it because
Speaker 7: we like early on in our show, we were talking
Speaker 7: about other indie wrestlers going to the platform and it
Speaker 7: wasn't looking the same.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 7: It wasn't doing this, it wasn't doing that, but he
Speaker 7: had trust in himself to leave, come back and be
Speaker 7: on top.
Speaker 4: So my wrestler of the Year is h Cody Road.
Speaker 11: H Yeah, gentlemen, I think personally for me, I have
Speaker 11: to go with one Jacob Fatu. The reason why I
Speaker 11: say Jacob fat two is because and again so real quick,
Speaker 11: are we counting like the championship?
Speaker 8: Does that count? Is he a one time tag champion?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 11: Okay, yes, okay. Jacoba two was incarcerated at eighteen years old.
Speaker 11: I also want to hire that Jacoba two is also
Speaker 11: thirty two years old.
Speaker 8: He's a ninety two baby. We were born in the
Speaker 8: same year.
Speaker 11: I want seen this guy defend his MLW World title
Speaker 11: at the twenty two hundred Arena against another guy named
Speaker 11: Alex Hammerstone. At the time, it was probably for me,
Speaker 11: the most important indie match at that time that I
Speaker 11: think that I was like present for.
Speaker 8: The feeling in that.
Speaker 11: Building was crazy that night, and I said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 11: this guy need, yeah, he needed. They could be about
Speaker 11: to figure something out. I mean, something got to be
Speaker 11: figured out, you know what I mean. Again, jacobot to
Speaker 11: in MLW, So we had a Smonan swat team pants on, barefoot,
Speaker 11: taped feet, that version of Jacob you know what I mean,
Speaker 11: where some more and werewolf type shit. And so to
Speaker 11: see the impact that he's had since his call up,
Speaker 11: you know, he had his one off and knew Japan
Speaker 11: out west. I've never granted like and I don't want to,
Speaker 11: you know, whenever these guys come up, I don't want
Speaker 11: to really call it like the nepotism thing, like there's
Speaker 11: ae thing like it is what it is, right, and
Speaker 11: the guys, if you get fast tracked, if you get like,
Speaker 11: you know, solo situation, I think you know some people
Speaker 11: have certain things to say about it. Whatever, right, Jacobs,
Speaker 11: I've never seen a person have an impact this fast
Speaker 11: in the w w WEE and I think that he
Speaker 11: represents what Chinese could be like in the WWE going
Speaker 11: forward in this new era. So for me and I
Speaker 11: think that you know that, definitely see some solo runs,
Speaker 11: you know, definitely a couple of championships, you know what
Speaker 11: I mean, mid cart.
Speaker 8: First for sure.
Speaker 11: But yeah, Jacoba Tou man my twenty twenty four my
Speaker 11: rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Can I just say before Chaz give you gives his
Speaker 1: answer that I put jacobatu And this is just like
Speaker 1: an historian thing. Jacob fa Tou is probably the closest
Speaker 1: to Yoko Zuna that and like all the Samoans that
Speaker 1: have been in WWE, like Jacob has the exact same
Speaker 1: impact Yoko Zuna did when he came into the ww
Speaker 1: So yeah, Jacob will be incredible in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just wanted to say, yeah.
Speaker 2: All right, So this was this, This one was tough, man.
Speaker 8: I had a.
Speaker 2: Like you said, Scott, I had to put a lot
Speaker 2: of thought.
Speaker 17: It was a lot of greatness and I tried to
Speaker 17: put aside my niggerism, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But my my pick for the male rest of the
Speaker 2: years probably Ricochet.
Speaker 16: Now with you, oh man, will.
Speaker 3: That I don't want you to kill me.
Speaker 2: I don't want you to out this pot.
Speaker 3: So let me take that bad right.
Speaker 1: Now, get it together, brother.
Speaker 17: All right, josephs side. My male rest of the year
Speaker 17: is uh Trick Williams.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 17: Well you and you mentioned something that was important to me.
Speaker 17: What wrestler made you feel something every time they got
Speaker 17: to that ring. And I can't really think of anybody
Speaker 17: that made me always felt and route and support than
Speaker 17: Trick Williams. To see his rise from sidekick background to
Speaker 17: main event player in the short amount of time that
Speaker 17: it happened, I personally again just as a just this
Speaker 17: as a black man, as a black person seeing somebody
Speaker 17: you know and always given me the same vibe too.
Speaker 17: But we were I was there not when it started, obviously,
Speaker 17: but I was there when the rumbling started. Okay, tricks next,
Speaker 17: and how are we gonna make this happen? How are
Speaker 17: we gonna formulate it? And we all saw it in
Speaker 17: real time happened through his rise of winning different matches
Speaker 17: in him being just solo, through the mix up with
Speaker 17: him and Carmelo and that storyline to him finally getting
Speaker 17: past those demons and going against Ilia for that title.
Speaker 17: You saw, like each stage of his come up he
Speaker 17: kept figuring out. You could see like the wheels turning
Speaker 17: for Trick as he kept growing and growing. Okay, how
Speaker 17: do I do this better? How do I do this better?
Speaker 17: How do I get better in the ring? How do
Speaker 17: I work on my ring psychology? You can tell Trick
Speaker 17: as a student of the game, him and Booker T.
Speaker 17: That connection can't be under sold or undervalue. I'm pretty
Speaker 17: sure he picks his brain on a daily you. I mean,
Speaker 17: it's literally the variant, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 17: he's going gonna take it even further than what uh
Speaker 17: Booker T did And not in a in a slight.
Speaker 17: It's just that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed
Speaker 17: to pass your pigs, you supposed to pass your mentors.
Speaker 17: And I'm pretty sure that's what Booker T want. You see,
Speaker 17: every single time whooped that trick, that that came naturally,
Speaker 17: Trick Williams, trick James, bitch that came.
Speaker 2: It was so many things that just.
Speaker 17: Kept happening nationally for him, you know what I mean,
Speaker 17: And it just kept getting better and better and better.
Speaker 17: The music video, it might have been laying here now,
Speaker 17: but that's not that's what's not point. The point is
Speaker 17: you're taking advantage of today's market.
Speaker 2: Social media is the thing. It's a big fucking thing.
Speaker 17: All right, Well, what I'm gonna how I'm gonna add
Speaker 17: something different to my promos, my baggage.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm gonna do a music video and I'm and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna.
Speaker 17: Make fun of this motherfucker most phileous.
Speaker 2: Trick Williams way. And that's what he did. So I
Speaker 2: believe that fair enough ship that was.
Speaker 17: But just to see the somebody from the background become
Speaker 17: the main event player, become the Beyonce, it's magical. It's
Speaker 17: magical to be part of to see a young African
Speaker 17: American brother have all the tools and and and more
Speaker 17: importantly not be in a situation where his light is
Speaker 17: where he has to become somebody else. Like I believe
Speaker 17: Trick Williams is the same person outside of wrestling.
Speaker 2: And you root for guys like that because you.
Speaker 17: Know they're going to make sure that whatever belief and
Speaker 17: potential they have, They're gonna maximize it. This sky's a
Speaker 17: limit for Trick. And even though he's young, and even
Speaker 17: though you know what I mean, there's a lot of
Speaker 17: milk around around the mustache, he has all the tools
Speaker 17: he has that I fatter. You just can't teach. And
Speaker 17: it's only going to get better from here. So my
Speaker 17: male message is Trick Williams.
Speaker 20: Gentlemen, the funnel vote, D Mac. Who do you pick?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give it the Trick man. I got convinced.
Speaker 4: I gotta Lorenzo.
