WEBVTT - The 2023 Predictions Show! 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.840 Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:06.120 of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:16.320 Network Vibe from San Francisco. I'm a sports byline broadcasting network. 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.759 You are listening to Wrestling Observer Vibe with your hosts 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:25.840 Brian Alvarez and Mike semperviv Ready Are you ready? Let's 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:31.479 get it all. How's it going everybody? Brian Alvarez here 0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:34.960 on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.559 through Friday, New Pacific, three Stern Sunday three Pacific, sixth Eastern. 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:43.240 It is the Prediction Show today. Yes, I can't believe, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.880 and we're actually doing it, and believe it or not, 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.639 we're doing it earlier than we did it last year. 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.080 Last year we didn't like January or something. But it 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.840 is time for the Prediction Show and it is starting 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:56.960 as soon as we come back from the break. So 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.120 listen carefully because the chats are trying to mess everything up. 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:05.200 Here's how it works. I have in front of me 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:10.000 all of the predictions from last year. I will be 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.120 reading those in the final segment of the show. We 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.080 actually had a lot of people that did pretty well 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.920 last year. Although there is one that I think sticks 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.120 out more than the others, but we may have to 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.680 put that to a vote or something like that at 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:27.160 the end. And in the first segment and the second segment, 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:33.120 we will be taking your calls your predictions for three. 0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:38.480 There's two rules. You may not predict anyone's death. That 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.399 is not allowed, okay, you will be disqualified. And also 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.880 try to make your prediction at least somewhat bold, because 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:51.320 what we've learned over the years is if you're too wacky, 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.240 ain't gonna win. Okay, But if you predict something too easy, well, 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:58.480 if too many people pick something too easy, you're not 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:02.760 gonna win. The boldest prediction will win if there's five 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.360 people that are correct. Now, if you presume that every 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:08.960 single solitary person is gonna be too bold, you could 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.440 predict something easy like w W E will be in 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.760 business in some form by the end of You could 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.560 try that, but you're probably not going to win because 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.040 we had, you know, six or seven people that were 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.440 either right on or close last year. And so if 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.799 you predicted something too easy, you ain't gonna win. So 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.880 it must be bold. Nothing bad. Come on, and uh, 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.040 and the phone number I'm gonna give you right now. 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.520 Do not call the text message line the phone number 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:44.040 eight four four nine one three seven.

That's a bold prediction. 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.400 I like it. That's a good way to set the 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.800 bar for this show right there.

This is not about what 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.920 I think. This is about facts. He'll either get it 0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.200 right or he won't, and he'll either win or he won't. Which, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.680 speaking of, brings us to Tara here, who is a 0:05:56.120 --> 0:06:01.680 former winner of the prestigious prediction on test.

Although it's funny, I was listening last year 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:38.760 and it happens every year. Everybody has a prediction that 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.800 isn't too far out on the limb, and it's still 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.160 wildly inaccurate by the end of the year. Dagan, you 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.400 are on the air. What's going on and what is 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:53.600 your bold prediction?

Amanda Rose will debut for Impact Wrestling 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.560 and win the Knockouts Championship.

I'm gonna I'm gonna make him 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:19.680 stick to that Amanda Rose.

We actually, I mean, 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.520 I'm sure he's probably done this, but can he do 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:00.520 that this year? How long? Was Honky is right? Is 0:08:00.560 --> 0:08:03.800 it possible? Is it mathematically possible for that to come true? 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:06.640 I guess we shall find out. I'll do the map 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.680 on that while you take the next caller already, Let's 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.800 go to Austin at Texas.

You know, maybe he'll maybe he'll knock out 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.440 Tony Nice. Like, we gotta keep this show going, brother, 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:10.160 We got a lot of people on the line. You know, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.640 I won a couple of years ago. You know I 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.440 should predict this year. That's what I should have started. 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.199 I should have done this show two weeks ago and 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.520 predicted as soon as this Vince come back to cutting 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:23.080 guys again. I don't one. But my prediction sure to 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.240 lose is that at the end of this year, in 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:31.160 the beginning of next year. Despite a tumultuous first twenty days, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.280 we're gonna look back at the end this year and 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:35.960 you know, you know what turned out all right. This 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.720 year in fact, turned out pretty good. You're an idiot. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:43.680 That's my bold prediction. You're an idiot. I have no 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:48.320 faith that that will happen. Let's go to whilst all 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.720 my faith in your ability predicted something bold to happen. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:55.240 My god, what happened to you? Marysville, California. You're on 0:14:55.320 --> 0:15:01.080 the air. Who is this? What's your bold prediction? Hey, 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:06.320 this is Ulysses from Chico, California, and my bold prediction 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.000 is that by the end of this year, we will 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:13.480 see Triple H, Pauliveck, and Stephanie McMahon at the helm 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:18.120 of a brand new wrestling promotion. Every year, I want 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.280 to thank you very much for the call. Every year 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.120 this happens. Last year we had the guy Triple H 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:27.440 will leave and start his own rival promotion. Didn't happen. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.040 But you know what, one of these days, somebody's gonna 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.120 have to make the same prediction every single year for 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.479 like twenty years and then finally get it right. They 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:38.760 called it. Yeah, that's why I hope happens. Alright, let's 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.080 go to the phones. You're on the air. Who is this? 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.640 What is your bold prediction for three? This is a 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.600 neat from Harrisburg, and my bold prediction is not Vince 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.120 is back with w w E. He'll get back and 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.120 creative and then he'll give himself the title by the 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.840 end of the year. God, he's gonna be a two 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.680 time w E champion by the end of this year. Yes, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.880 sir man, why not? Should have predicted that Prince end 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.480 up the champion? Thank you very much for the call. 0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:12.760 I like our mix of bold predictions and obvious nothing 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.680 happened in predictions today. Let's go to New York. Who 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:22.480 is this? What is your bold prediction for? Mr? Girard 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.640 and South Jamaica? And my bold prediction for is that 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:31.000 by the end of this year, Tony Khan will announce 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:35.960 a TV deal worth more than half a billion dollars. 0:16:37.480 --> 0:16:38.880 I want to thank you very much for the call. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:41.320 You know, it's amazing about that prediction. That was my 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:46.680 prediction last year and I lost. Maybe Queens has got 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.000 you this year. Well, his timing is probably better, to 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.160 be honest. More than a half billion dollars more than 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:59.000 five million dollars for television deal. Afraid that's bold, but 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:01.320 you know what, that's what I'm looking for a year. 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.200 Damn right, let's go to the phones. You are on 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.000 the air. It was this, what is your Bowl prediction 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:11.480 for three? This is spom Sees Valley, California, and my 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:15.320 Bowl prediction is at least one episode of SmackDown this 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.919 year will have a higher rating than their debut on Fox. 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.520 In Wow, I want to thank you very much for 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.480 the call. At least one episode of SmackDown this year 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.920 is going to do a better rating than their debut, which, 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.680 if I recall off the top of my head, because 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:34.000 I am a genius, did three point nine million viewers 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.440 tell you what? He didn't put an asterix on it, 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.480 and we didn't tell them to. So there may be 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:43.399 an NFL game or something like that, a college sports games, 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.200 something where this man may end up being the winners 0:17:46.280 --> 0:17:49.280 since we didn't tie him down on technicalities. You know, 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:51.600 these nerds on my timeline always like, oh, they can't 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:53.399 get back to that one point two million at a 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:55.920 w debut at one point three million, where all those 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.399 fans go. You realize SmackDown debut at three point nine million, 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:02.840 and and all those fans go, well, it's called a debut, 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.240 and this happens for every show. You're going, We're gonna 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:11.280 go to Bahrain, Moraine, you're on the air. Who is this? 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:13.879 What is your bold prediction for Brian and Mike? This 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:17.800 is a j from Bahrain. Yes, and my bold prediction 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.639 is that Eddie Kingston is gonna be the one to 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:26.480 be thrown m JF. And it's gonna happen in Adie's hometown, Queens, 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:30.159 New York at a W Grant Slam. But then m 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:32.080 JF will win it back, will win back the a 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.920 W World Championship. Romp Eddie Kingston at full gear in 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.280 a match with a stipulation, this is it. I want 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.679 to thank you. That's what the will Osprey guy was missing. 0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:45.800 If you're gonna give us something, then you gotta give 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.919 us a little more behind it to make it bold. 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:51.600 I like that. I just was was It was like, 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.400 I don't think Eddie Kingston is going to beat MJF 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.159 for the title at Grand Slam, but that prediction is 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.720 bold enough as it is. And he kept going, hell 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.040 that at its full gear, he's gonna win it back, 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.040 and there's gonna be a step. You should have added 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:06.800 the stip ball. He was added, Hey, because that's bold. 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.000 I mean, just saying somebody's gonna beat somebody for a 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:12.400 title a bold. It's pretty bold to think that Eddie 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.560 Kingson is the one who's gonna dethrow. You let Will 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.200 Osbrey winning the g one go through. I mean, come on, 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:21.920 that's not that bold at all at all. Well, yeah, exactly, 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.960 I let him go through. We'll see who wins. Let's 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:30.119 go to uh Greensburg allegedly you're on the air. Who 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:34.920 is this, what's your bold prediction? Hello? My name is 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:39.800 Brandon from Pittsburgh, and my bold prediction is that Ria 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:44.200 Ripley will either win the US Championship or the Intercontinental 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.320 Championship by the end of WOW. So they're going full 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.879 China with her. She's gonna win a men's title in 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:58.760 w W. That's bold. I should have added she'll win 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:04.960 it from Jericho. That's bold. All right, let's go to 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.560 beautiful Garden City or on the air, who is this, 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:13.760 what is your bold prediction? This is Don from Garden City. 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.720 My bold prediction, Dave Meltzer will win the Cluster f 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:22.040 at Joey Joannelli's Spring Break seven. You know, you know 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:23.840 what's funny about that prediction. I want to thank you 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.560 very much for the call. What's funny about that prediction 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:31.160 is it is bold. They they they they, I don't 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.920 want to say they've directly asked him, but I knew. 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.160 I know that Joey Joannelle has been interested in having 0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.720 him in that match. Dave's not gonna do it. But 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.600 you know, if you agree a duty, probably win. So 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:45.360 maybe what you need to do is get in touch 0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.600 with Dave, offer him one half of your ring if 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:53.280 you win. All right, let's go. Let's I've never been asked. 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.159 It's going to Port's Mouth. Who cares about me? And 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.280 there I rustle all the time you're on the air. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.840 What's going on? M Hey's Brandon from Portsmouth?

So Rock Sand's gonna get called up 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:18.280 beat Charlotte win the SmackDown Women's title. Alright, excellent prediction, 0:21:18.359 --> 0:21:20.760 my friend. A lot of details in now and I 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.359 like a lot of details, and you know who's gonna 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.959 have a lot of details and quite frankly, should inevitably 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:30.800 be the winner of the contest. Is this man Jesus 0:21:30.880 --> 0:21:34.000 according to my color. Right, you're on the air, what's 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.359 your bold prediction for three?
