Speaker 1: Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition
Speaker 1: of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side
Speaker 1: Network Vibe from San Francisco. I'm a sports byline broadcasting network.
Speaker 1: You are listening to Wrestling Observer Vibe with your hosts
Speaker 1: Brian Alvarez and Mike semperviv Ready Are you ready? Let's
Speaker 1: get it all. How's it going everybody? Brian Alvarez here
Speaker 1: on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday
Speaker 1: through Friday, New Pacific, three Stern Sunday three Pacific, sixth Eastern.
Speaker 1: It is the Prediction Show today. Yes, I can't believe,
Speaker 1: and we're actually doing it, and believe it or not,
Speaker 1: we're doing it earlier than we did it last year.
Speaker 1: Last year we didn't like January or something. But it
Speaker 1: is time for the Prediction Show and it is starting
Speaker 1: as soon as we come back from the break. So
Speaker 1: listen carefully because the chats are trying to mess everything up.
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. I have in front of me
Speaker 1: all of the predictions from last year. I will be
Speaker 1: reading those in the final segment of the show. We
Speaker 1: actually had a lot of people that did pretty well
Speaker 1: last year. Although there is one that I think sticks
Speaker 1: out more than the others, but we may have to
Speaker 1: put that to a vote or something like that at
Speaker 1: the end. And in the first segment and the second segment,
Speaker 1: we will be taking your calls your predictions for three.
Speaker 1: There's two rules. You may not predict anyone's death. That
Speaker 1: is not allowed, okay, you will be disqualified. And also
Speaker 1: try to make your prediction at least somewhat bold, because
Speaker 1: what we've learned over the years is if you're too wacky,
Speaker 1: ain't gonna win. Okay, But if you predict something too easy, well,
Speaker 1: if too many people pick something too easy, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna win. The boldest prediction will win if there's five
Speaker 1: people that are correct. Now, if you presume that every
Speaker 1: single solitary person is gonna be too bold, you could
Speaker 1: predict something easy like w W E will be in
Speaker 1: business in some form by the end of You could
Speaker 1: try that, but you're probably not going to win because
Speaker 1: we had, you know, six or seven people that were
Speaker 1: either right on or close last year. And so if
Speaker 1: you predicted something too easy, you ain't gonna win. So
Speaker 1: it must be bold. Nothing bad. Come on, and uh,
Speaker 1: and the phone number I'm gonna give you right now.
Speaker 1: Do not call the text message line the phone number
Speaker 1: eight four four nine one three seven. That is eight
Speaker 1: four four seven. The phone line is already full, so

Speaker 1: Tony Nice. Like, we gotta keep this show going, brother,
Speaker 1: We got a lot of people on the line. You know,
Speaker 1: I won a couple of years ago. You know I
Speaker 1: should predict this year. That's what I should have started.
Speaker 1: I should have done this show two weeks ago and
Speaker 1: predicted as soon as this Vince come back to cutting
Speaker 1: guys again. I don't one. But my prediction sure to
Speaker 1: lose is that at the end of this year, in
Speaker 1: the beginning of next year. Despite a tumultuous first twenty days,
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back at the end this year and
Speaker 1: you know, you know what turned out all right. This
Speaker 1: year in fact, turned out pretty good. You're an idiot.
Speaker 1: That's my bold prediction. You're an idiot. I have no

Speaker 1: this happens. Last year we had the guy Triple H
Speaker 1: will leave and start his own rival promotion. Didn't happen.

Speaker 1: by the end of this year, Tony Khan will announce
Speaker 1: a TV deal worth more than half a billion dollars.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for the call.
Speaker 1: You know, it's amazing about that prediction. That was my
Speaker 1: prediction last year and I lost. Maybe Queens has got
Speaker 1: you this year. Well, his timing is probably better, to
Speaker 1: be honest. More than a half billion dollars more than
Speaker 1: five million dollars for television deal. Afraid that's bold, but
Speaker 1: you know what, that's what I'm looking for a year.
Speaker 1: Damn right, let's go to the phones. You are on

Speaker 1: I am a genius, did three point nine million viewers
Speaker 1: tell you what? He didn't put an asterix on it,
Speaker 1: and we didn't tell them to. So there may be
Speaker 1: an NFL game or something like that, a college sports games,
Speaker 1: something where this man may end up being the winners
Speaker 1: since we didn't tie him down on technicalities. You know,
Speaker 1: these nerds on my timeline always like, oh, they can't
Speaker 1: get back to that one point two million at a
Speaker 1: w debut at one point three million, where all those
Speaker 1: fans go. You realize SmackDown debut at three point nine million,
Speaker 1: and and all those fans go, well, it's called a debut,

Speaker 1: a match with a stipulation, this is it. I want
Speaker 1: to thank you. That's what the will Osprey guy was missing.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna give us something, then you gotta give
Speaker 1: us a little more behind it to make it bold.
Speaker 1: I like that. I just was was It was like,
Speaker 1: I don't think Eddie Kingston is going to beat MJF
Speaker 1: for the title at Grand Slam, but that prediction is
Speaker 1: bold enough as it is. And he kept going, hell
Speaker 1: that at its full gear, he's gonna win it back,
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be a step. You should have added
Speaker 1: the stip ball. He was added, Hey, because that's bold.
Speaker 1: I mean, just saying somebody's gonna beat somebody for a
Speaker 1: title a bold. It's pretty bold to think that Eddie
Speaker 1: Kingson is the one who's gonna dethrow. You let Will
Speaker 1: Osbrey winning the g one go through. I mean, come on,

Speaker 1: specifics on the Prediction show. Right. So, not only are
Speaker 1: we gonna have the first ever women's main event nami W,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the main event be Jamie Hayter first
Speaker 1: Britt Baker for the a W Women's title, and it
Speaker 1: will be at all out in the all out main event.
Speaker 1: That's the all out main event. Jamie Hayter and Britt
Speaker 1: Acre for the a W Women's title. Wow, what I
Speaker 1: want to thank you very much for the call. They
Speaker 1: could do it. They could do it. They take a
Speaker 1: lot of build, but you know what, they could absolutely
Speaker 1: do that. Hey, listen, I want to thank everybody for
Speaker 1: calling in today. Over over twenty five hundred attempts to
Speaker 1: get through here today, and we got as many as
Speaker 1: we could on the air. But now it's time we
Speaker 1: got to go back through last year's predictions. Who was
Speaker 1: a prognosticator and who was a fool? And uh and
Speaker 1: we need to have a little chat here as well,
Speaker 1: because we did better than usual last year. So here
Speaker 1: we go, right, and Cumberland got through first last year.
Speaker 1: And he predicted that Paul Hayman will marry Caleb Braxton.
Speaker 1: He was wrong, dig and predicted Coda Abushi and Kenny
Speaker 1: Omega would face off in a e W. Wrong. And
Speaker 1: when you think about everything that happened with Coda Boushi
Speaker 1: last year, who could have ever thought Tara predicted? And
Speaker 1: here's another one. Tara predicted Cody Rhodes would break the
Speaker 1: step and win the a e W title with a
Speaker 1: pedigree And it was only like a month later he
Speaker 1: left a W and he went to w w E.
Speaker 1: And the funny thing is he may win the w
Speaker 1: w E title with a pedigree this year. Incredible win.
Speaker 1: Jammer predicted that Jerry mcdivott would retire and his law
Speaker 1: firm would not defend w w E in the mL
Speaker 1: W lawsuit and Vince would hire Constantine Cairos instead. Wrong,
Speaker 1: but it's funny that mL W lawsuits still outstanding over
Speaker 1: a year later, still out there. Eddie correctly predicted that
Speaker 1: an n x T two point oh show would sell
Speaker 1: over three thousand tickets to an event. And if you
Speaker 1: watched n x T two point oh last year when
Speaker 1: it first began, that was a pretty bold prediction. Now,
Speaker 1: I did ask him, is this like a normal show
Speaker 1: or is this like they bring in all of the
Speaker 1: talent from the main roster everything like that? He said
Speaker 1: had to be a normal show, but it did take
Speaker 1: place over WrestleMania weekend, So I'll let you guys determined
Speaker 1: if that was bold enough. Steve predicted Roman Reigns would
Speaker 1: hold the Universal title all year. He was correct? Was
Speaker 1: that bold enough? Nick predicted that this year kg Mudo
Speaker 1: would finally lose the kto Kio Mia, which in fact
Speaker 1: did happen kiom have beat him via submission on July.
Speaker 1: Was that bold enough, Mike, because you doubt it was
Speaker 1: bold enough when he made it last year? Well, technically one.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has any better off for it.
Speaker 1: But Brandon predicted that Austin Theory would win money in
Speaker 1: the bank and would be w E champion by the
Speaker 1: end of the year. Close to my friend, what's wrong?
Speaker 1: And keep in mind Vincent already hitched his trade on
Speaker 1: TV Dawson Theory at the time, So how bold was that?
Speaker 1: In fact? Otis p stink Trigger predicted the A w
Speaker 1: video game would come out last year. It still hasn't
Speaker 1: come out, and its Metacritic scores would at least double
Speaker 1: W W E two K and which was wrong. Nathan
Speaker 1: predicted Alley Catch would beat Jeff Jared in a Good
Speaker 1: Housekeeping match. Was wrong. Lewis predicted Colt Commander would become
Speaker 1: the t NT champion. Whoa he or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, look what happened this year? That was wrong?
Speaker 1: That was wrong? Now this one's kind of a maybe.
Speaker 1: Pierce predicted that we would see an a E W
Speaker 1: W W E crossover on TV and now there was
Speaker 1: a John Cena congratulations twenty years Raw Delia Bob, and
Speaker 1: there were a couple of a W guys that had
Speaker 1: videos like congratulating him and everything like that. Uh So,
Speaker 1: I mean, like Chris Jericho was on Raw that happened.
Speaker 1: It was it was a congratulations of John Cina, but
Speaker 1: like nobody was in the ring or anything like that.
Speaker 1: So what do you guys think about that one? We
Speaker 1: have got Mike Semperviv predicting Chris Dickerson Dickinson will beat
Speaker 1: John Moxi for the g c W title and would
Speaker 1: then lose it to Atticus Kogar later in the year.
Speaker 1: Wrong in so many ways. That was very very wrong,
Speaker 1: very wrong, very wrong. Producer Dom Producer Don predicted a
Speaker 1: e W would go on a multi week West Coast
Speaker 1: tour sell out every venue. Now, they did have a
Speaker 1: two West Coast shows June one and third. They both
Speaker 1: sold out in l A, but it was not a
Speaker 1: multiweek tour, so I would say close, but did pretty
Speaker 1: good though pretty good dum Bryan Alvarez predicted a W
Speaker 1: will get a new TV deal before the year is over.
Speaker 1: It will more than double the money from its previous deal. Wrong.
Speaker 1: Can't you give the goddamn thing. Wesley predicted Hangman would
Speaker 1: make you the entire year as a w champion. Boy
Speaker 1: did he not? He did not. Ryan predicted Byron Left
Speaker 1: which of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would appear on a
Speaker 1: W TV and punched Dan Howising in the face. What
Speaker 1: a horrible prediction and wrong. Wrong. Matt predicted two all out,
Speaker 1: Keith Lee will defeat the Hangman for the A E
Speaker 1: W title. Wrong, it was very very well. Addie predicted
Speaker 1: Triple H would leave w W E and start a
Speaker 1: new promotion or takeover. Wrong. Yeah, not takeover w W E,
Speaker 1: by the way, it was takeover whatever promotion he went to.
Speaker 1: That was very wrong. He actually came back and took
Speaker 1: over w W for a while, then got ousted again.
Speaker 1: Inter sessions they ousted, but I guess he's not ousted
Speaker 1: at the moment. H Nick predicted by the time the
Speaker 1: year is over, Shaun Waltman will be the A W,
Speaker 1: T and T champion, accepting an open challenge, winning the
Speaker 1: belt and would be signed to a W Wrong. Derek
Speaker 1: predicted Dan Housing would appear on a TV show as
Speaker 1: a guest T B S or t n T. Wrong.
Speaker 1: Don the Don Rossberger, I can actually do his voice
Speaker 1: this year. Predicted Dan Housen team with Orange, Cassidy and
Speaker 1: Yano and win the six man Never Open Way titles.
Speaker 1: That was wrong. Rick the Guardian of Chaos predicted Paul
Speaker 1: Hayman would be all Elite. Wrong. Matt predicted all three
Speaker 1: of The New Day would be all Elite and when
Speaker 1: the tag team titles wrong and man no one could
Speaker 1: have seen what happened to Big e Ken predicted Teagan
Speaker 1: Knox will be the next day W Women's champion. Incorrect.
Speaker 1: Tony predicted Dynamite would beat Rang in the ratings in
Speaker 1: total viewership twice. Wrong. Ray predicted one of the owen
Speaker 1: Hart Cups would be won by one of the members
Speaker 1: of the Dark Order. Wrong. Coach Walton predicted in the
Speaker 1: middle of a gym class at his elementary school with
Speaker 1: kids screaming in the background, that m JF would not
Speaker 1: step foot in an A E W rampage ring for
Speaker 1: a match a segment nothing all year long, and he
Speaker 1: was correct. Dalton predicted Jungle Boy it was gonna be
Speaker 1: a triple champion this year. He was wrong. Cookie Predictativity
Speaker 1: Stratton would be successful at XT debut on the main roster.
Speaker 1: That was wrong. Andrew predicted someone currently a side from
Speaker 1: a W would appear in the Royal Rumble that year wrong.
Speaker 1: Dan predicted n x T would be absorbed to the
Speaker 1: main roster would not exist by in the year wrong.
Speaker 1: Alex predicted braun Acre would debut on the main roster
Speaker 1: and win a major title. Now he did show up
Speaker 1: and he beat Dolph Ziggler to win back the n
Speaker 1: x T title, but I don't know about that one.
Speaker 1: And no, I'm two years away from owing a thousand
Speaker 1: dollars mm hm. And then Josh predicted Brian Danielson wins
Speaker 1: the g one, which is wrong. Now we got a
Speaker 1: lot to talk about here. These are the ones that
Speaker 1: I would say are arguable. The a W W W
Speaker 1: E crossover on TV, and two we did have active
Speaker 1: a w wrestlers giving tributes to John Cena. On Raw,
Speaker 1: we had braun Breaker debuting on the main roster and
Speaker 1: winning a title, which in fact he kind of did,
Speaker 1: but it was not like a full debut. He just
Speaker 1: showed up to get some pub and win that belt back.
Speaker 1: And dum with the multi week tour. This sells out
Speaker 1: every venue. These are those are arguable, so I think
Speaker 1: we kind of have to write those off right arguable ones.
Speaker 1: Now the ones there there are four that were exact
Speaker 1: n XT selling over three thousand tickets to a show
Speaker 1: which they did do over WrestleMania Weekend. Roman Reigns not
Speaker 1: losing the title all year long. I don't think that's
Speaker 1: bold enough. I don't know by the rest of you,
Speaker 1: kg Mudo finally losing the Kaito Kiomia, and MGF not
Speaker 1: appearing one single time. We add Punk and Mocksley and
Speaker 1: tons of big stars. He never appeared one time on Rampage.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna throw these these four up and we're
Speaker 1: gonna have you guys vote on my Twitter. So go

Speaker 1: Brian Man. He can hang that in the gym with
Speaker 1: all those kids as well. M JF pretty bold, This
