1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Shut us about to

2
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: hit the fan? Welcome to on sinction Thursdays are wrestling

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: with Freddy. Welcome back, Welcome back. It's wrestling with Freddy.

4
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: It's the Thursday show. No Jeff because he's flying. He's

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: flying Brian Pillman, and so we're recording solo. But I'm

6
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: coming to you live today from beautiful sunny California. If

7
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: you're stuck in this polar vortex and you're shoveling snow,

8
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: I feel you. I feel your pain. All I can

9
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 1: say is get your ass out of here. There's no snow.

10
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's earthquakes and fires. You know, when

11
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: it rains, everyone forgets how to drive because they've never

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: seen it before. But other than that, it's fantastic. You

13
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: can go hiking any day of the week, any day

14
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: of the year. The beaches are beautiful when they're not

15
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: covered in soot and ash, and they're much cleaner now

16
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: than they used to be. And the people are nice.

17
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: We're chill, we're friendly. If you're lost, we'll give you directions,

18
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: although who gets lost now? If you have an iPhone

19
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: right or a smartphone, I guess we don't all have iPhones, Freddy,

20
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: you're right, You're right anyway. I hope you guys had

21
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: a good week. I did played some Battle Tech. If

22
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't know what Battle Tech is, it's my favorite game,

23
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: played it for a long time. We did a two

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: on two match. My team won again. You know why,

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: you damn right, you know why because we're the best. Anyway,

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: you know who else is the best? John Cena And

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: it's all about John Cena's last match in the WWE,

28
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: although Jeff would argue it's never their last match because

29
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: there's always they're always going to come back. It's like

30
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: a Barber Streiss and finale tour. It's the last tour

31
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: for the fourth time, for the last time. But I've

32
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: happened to believe John Cena. He's uh, well one, he

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have to come back. He's set for life. A

34
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: lot of people keep working because they have to work.

35
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Maybe they have too many ex wives and the divorce

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: payments are too big. There's a funny bit on Conan

37
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: O'Brien back in the day with John Cleees and what's

38
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: his face, Eric Idol, and they were talking about how

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: many wives John Clees had had and it was like

40
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: he was up to four or five or something like that,

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: and he was like, why do you think I keep working?

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: I have to. It's not because I like it. And

43
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: it was really funny. You should watch it on YouTube

44
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: or whatever you watch stuff on. I don't know what

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: young people watch, but anyway, I think this would be

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: John Cena's final final match and that alone is enough. Right,

47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: we can end the show right now, but there'll be

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: a couple other matches. We don't have them all as

49
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: their book now, so to be a short episode, but

50
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: we'll give you what we got. So they built this

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: entire tournament called the Last Time Is Now and everyone

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: had to wrestle for the right to fight, not the

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: right to party, but the right to fight John Cena,

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: and uh, it was kind of cool. It was a

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: cool idea. John. It's probably gonna well, we'll get into

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: the pick. But the winner of the tournament was goonth

57
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: and he made La and I tap out and he's like, yo,

58
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: so you know you better watch that because that's what's

59
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen to you. You're going to give up next

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: deal with it. He walks out to the ring, not

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson esk esque because Mike Tyson would just come

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: out with the towel and no music. But he comes

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: out with just like as a as like an old

64
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: school boxer, an old school European boxer with just like

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: the fighter's robe, the dramatic music like Ivan Drago from

66
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Rocky four is how he comes out. It's very like

67
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: it's just very European, right, so right away you're trained.

68
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: At least my generation was like Russia's evil, Germany's evil,

69
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: So right away you're like, I don't like this guy.

70
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Modern new people don't know. Young people don't care as much.

71
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: They have their own people that they hate, and just

72
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: judge old people for the people they hate. But everybody

73
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: hates somebody. Baby and Gouther comes out. We're supposed to

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: hate him, but we kind of like him because he's

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: so badass in the ring and he gets to go

76
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: in there against Sina. This will be his final match.

77
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: The dude kind of gives you everything every time anyway,

78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: his whole career. Like he's not a half asset kind

79
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: of guy. We didn't get along when I worked there,

80
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: but he's not a half assed kind of guy. And

81
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: he's been real like Frank and upfront in these interviews,

82
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: these exit interviews that he's been given that they aired

83
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,679
Speaker 1: one on SmackDown where he talked about like not giving

84
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: up secrets, not helping people like that shit was real.

85
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: He was saying real stuff like you got to keep

86
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: that and protect it because you don't want to lose

87
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: your spot like that. That was real shit that he

88
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: was going through when I worked there. And to see

89
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: him be this open and honest even though he's in

90
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: character right, so it's not one hundred percent John, it's

91
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: it's still one hundred percent Jawn and Cena. But he's

92
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: given you a lot of truth behind it because you're

93
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: allowed to Now. Our producer says, Gunther's gonna win. That's

94
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: his pick. He says John Cena's going to lose his

95
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: final match. Could you imagine if he made John Cena

96
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: tap out and you submitted John Cena in his final match,

97
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: you made him give up. I don't know if it'll

98
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: go that far, but I do believe that he's going

99
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 1: to lose the match and Gunther will get the victory

100
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: on a pinfall. Sena will fight out of the submission,

101
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: for sure, he'll fight out. So we agree to agree

102
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: if Jeff were here, he go, I think Sena is

103
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: gonna win. So you got Jeff going for Sena. That

104
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: was my Jeff Die impression. Match number two Cody Rhoades

105
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: the undisputed WW champion versus Oba Fami, the NXT champion,

106
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: having beaten Ricky Saints. You Bestard, how could you beat

107
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: Ricky Saints? Oh? Because Ricky's getting called up probably to

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: smack Down or Monday Night Row because he's on the microphone. Anyway,

109
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: this it's interesting. I'll give it that. I kind of

110
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: know the finish and our our producer knows the finish too,

111
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: because I don't think anybody can win this match, right,

112
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: so it has to be a no decision and we'll

113
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: get into the details at the at the end of

114
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: discussing the match, but yeah, no one can win. Both

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: guys just have to look great. Cody's awesome at making

116
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: people look great. His brother Dustin was great at making

117
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: people look great. Dusty was great to make it's it's

118
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: a family trait to sell like crazy when you're when

119
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: you're a road So he'll make Obi look huge and

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: we'll see if oba Is is ready for for the

121
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: bigger stage when they pull guys up they lose the championship,

122
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: So Ricky's probably getting pulled up. And if you see

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: Oba lose, you know, to the next NXT guy, then

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: you'll know they're gonna pull Oba up. Well, this match

125
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: could have a lot to do with that, depending on

126
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: how well he looks. So he's wrestling for a lot.

127
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: It's not just it's not just for you guys. It's

128
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: not just a show. Uh, there's there's gonna be a

129
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on a young man and uh and

130
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: we wish it. We wish him the best. That said,

131
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: our producer picks Drew McIntyre to interfere in the match

132
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: and get into no contest, And I think that's what

133
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be as well. I think that's that's fairly predictable.

134
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: So if you want extra details so you can win

135
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: extra money, that's the bet you take. H Jeff, what

136
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: do you think? I think Alba's gonna win? What broke?

137
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: I get out of here, Jeff, Dude, he's always picking

138
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: dumb shit. Picks are so bad, bro. All right, I

139
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: know you guys hear that Jeff Die impression and you're like,

140
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: is he in the room? But he's not it's just me,

141
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: it's just my voice. This is the final match that

142
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: we have. There'll be more. It's you know, it's not

143
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: a thirty minutes forty minute show, but we got Bailey

144
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: versus soul Ruca sol Ruka is another NXT talent that's

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: getting a lot of shine and you see a lot

146
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: of highlights on Instagram, at least that's where I see

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: a lot of her highlights. She does a really cool

148
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: finish this like jumping bouncing backflip uh that she lands

149
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: really hard. I don't know how many years she's going

150
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: to be able to do the finisher, but it's gonna

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: be awesome while she does. But a lot of frigging impact.

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: She's going to go up against Bailey. Bailey's there to

153
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: protect her, look out for her, make her look great,

154
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: kind of test her out, see where she's at, See

155
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: how she shines under the bright lights. They had a

156
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: backstage promo on SmackDown. There's a very simple thing. She

157
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: didn't have too much to do, and she did a

158
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: pretty good job with it. So they'll have an awesome

159
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: match and you know, we're gonna have all agreements down

160
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the line. Here, Me and alex I don't think you

161
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: can let soul Ruka beat Bailey in this match. I

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: think she can look great. I think she can get

163
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: a lot of her moves off. Bailey can take all

164
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 1: of her moves. Bailey's strong enough to brace for any

165
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: helse like of her athletic stuff that she wants to do.

166
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think Bailey's gonna win the match. But

167
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: I think she'll make so look great, and so does Alex. Jeff,

168
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: what do you think I'm gone for saults? You just

169
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: pick against us because you're contrarian, and everybody knows you're contrarian. Bro,

170
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,520
