Speaker 1: big as my hand now I don't have the biggest hands.
Speaker 1: It's about as big as my face. But that's how
Speaker 1: freakin big this thing was. My heart is still racing.
Speaker 1: I almost had a heart attack. I thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna die. I could have been in there trying to
Speaker 1: use the restroom. It could have jumped and attacked me.
Speaker 1: I would have never seen it.
Speaker 2: Now you're mad even introducing ghosts wrestling Win for Ready Chef,
Speaker 2: died hand for Ready Friends, Junior.
Speaker 1: What's up? Everybody? Welcome to the show from Los Angeles

Speaker 1: Everybody making the new I know you did last Summer
Speaker 1: movie and I killed a spider. And I'm not exaggerating.
Speaker 1: As big as my hand now I don't have the

Speaker 1: that's how freaking big this thing was. My heart is
Speaker 1: still racing. Almost had a heart attack. I thought I
Speaker 1: was gonna die. I could have been in there trying
Speaker 1: to use the restroom. It could have jumped and attacked me.
Speaker 1: I would have never seen it. I saw it. I'm
Speaker 1: telling you, dude, I killed it with a binder that
Speaker 1: my script is in. I will never use that binder again. Like,
Speaker 1: that's how gross the side of the binder was it
Speaker 1: splat it was? You were joking before the show, Like
Speaker 1: how did it get in? It walked through the front
Speaker 1: door because it's too big to get through anything else.
Speaker 3: But they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna get smarter. They're
Speaker 3: gonna start holding a baby. You can't kill me if
Speaker 3: I'm holding a baby, Like, don't say that.
Speaker 1: I have a freaking heart attack on air man. Don't
Speaker 1: say that it's going to come in with a hostage
Speaker 1: next time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, got a knife, Come on, try to get
Speaker 3: me with that binder again.
Speaker 1: Our gun's legal in Australia. I need a spider rifle.
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, I'm buying one right after the show. I'm
Speaker 1: buying a gun, Jeff, Jesus. Wrestling was awesome. We can
Speaker 1: get more into Australia in our weeks on the unsanctioned
Speaker 1: Thursday Today. On today's episode, we're going to get into
Speaker 1: aw full gear. If we could play some November Rain
Speaker 1: right now, I'd play it for you. No one wants
Speaker 1: to hear that lovely Olive oil voice I have. And
Speaker 1: I don't mean olive oil like smooth. I mean Olive Oil,
Speaker 1: the cartoon character that had the horrible voice back in
Speaker 1: the day. Pop Yeah, everybody loves Popeye, right. Everybody listening
Speaker 1: right now is like, who's Popeye? What the hell? What
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Just google it all right, leave
Speaker 1: me alone. We have a ton of pay per view
Speaker 1: or pay yeah, well, they're both pay per views and
Speaker 1: premium live events over the next two weeks. This week
Speaker 1: we're going to start you off with AEW's full gear.
Speaker 1: There was an awesome video package to November Rain. If
Speaker 1: you want to check it out, it's on YouTube. You guys,
Speaker 1: can check it out. It's pretty cool. I like when
Speaker 1: people basically use a whole song instead of just like
Speaker 1: a one minute thing, but they give you like an
Speaker 1: entire music video. I like that crap a lot. I
Speaker 1: watched that stuff on YouTube. I thought they did a
Speaker 1: good job with this, and they were able to tell
Speaker 1: pretty much everybody's story that's been going on for the
Speaker 1: last four weeks or so to a little axl Rose
Speaker 1: and Slash Slash, by the way, owner of hundreds of reptiles.
Speaker 1: My wife and I used to be donors at the
Speaker 1: La Zoo, and Slash donated like eighty two reptiles and
Speaker 1: a few million dollars to build the entire reptile center there.
Speaker 1: That's at the La Zoo. And if you ever want
Speaker 1: to see a giant salamander, it looks like a big
Speaker 1: spade shovel that slashes giant salamander and it's at the
Speaker 1: La Zoo. You should check it out. Anyway, aw full gear,
Speaker 1: here we go. This is a prediction show, people, so
Speaker 1: get your wallets ready. Your I was gonna say dating app,
Speaker 1: but you're not dating your gambling app. Get your gambling
Speaker 1: apps ready. And if you're dating, you know date two, dude,
Speaker 1: make sure she likes wrestling, and if not, just make
Speaker 1: sure she's chill and not one of those jerks that's like,
Speaker 1: you like wrestling?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 1: Why do you like wrestling? Why do you like reality shows?
Speaker 1: We don't do that to you, so just leave us alone,
Speaker 1: all right. First up, we got MJF versus Roderick Strong. Now,
Speaker 1: this he's thrown like an odd unique challenge out there
Speaker 1: where multiple people have to win in order for Adam
Speaker 1: to win. Roderick Strong was the one who got the win.
Speaker 1: He's the one that's earned the shot to face MJF first,
Speaker 1: even though Adam Cole wants to get his hands on him,
Speaker 1: his Tom Cruise looking hands on him, but it's not
Speaker 1: going to happen. Roderick Strong is going to be in
Speaker 1: there first. Rodrick Strong, if you don't know him, if
Speaker 1: you're not like an avid wrestling watcher like us, is
Speaker 1: frigging amazing in the ring. His work in there is
Speaker 1: his top top top shelf. Their match is going to
Speaker 1: be amazing. Both guys are super super talented. You'll let
Speaker 1: MJF do most of the heavy lifting on the microphone
Speaker 1: because nobody's better at it than he is. But to me,
Speaker 1: this is an easy win. I have MJF going over
Speaker 1: Roderick Strong because the story Jeff is MJF versus Adam Cole,
Speaker 1: and if he's just losing all the way up there,
Speaker 1: I might be a different story. I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: would be bad that. I'm sure he'd figure out a
Speaker 1: cool way to tell it. But I don't see that
Speaker 1: bullshit happening. I see a win for Maxwell Jacob Friedman,
Speaker 1: and so does our producer Alex Jeff. Do you have
Speaker 1: the guts to go with Roderick Strong? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: use your brains?
Speaker 3: I would never go with Roderick Strong over MJF. I
Speaker 3: wouldn't pick anyone over MJF. They have been trying to
Speaker 3: work this Roderick Strong thing for longer than you know.
Speaker 3: The bloodline's been around. You know, roder Strong's been wearing
Speaker 3: a neck brace and coming in some wheel chairs and
Speaker 3: hunting for some sort of MJF storyline since long, long,
Speaker 3: long ago. But I still don't think that this is
Speaker 3: you know, this is gonna be the time he wins.
Speaker 3: I think MJF is a no brainer pick for this.
Speaker 1: If Rodrick Strong was here right now, he'd yell Jeef Frennie,
Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna win this damn match. No we disagree,
Speaker 1: don't yell at don't yell at us, Roderick. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go, Jay White versus Hangman Page. This is
Speaker 1: the hardest match to pick for me. I genuinely have
Speaker 1: to just go with my gut on this one, like
Speaker 1: an instinct. I can't sort of logically break down who's
Speaker 1: gonna win this match because Adam Hangman Page has lost
Speaker 1: a lot since he came back and had his dealings
Speaker 1: with Swerve Strickland, and he's been putting guys over a lot.
Speaker 1: So my brain says, well, he's due to get put over.
Speaker 1: Since he's been putting guys over, he's due for a win.
Speaker 1: And then they give him Jay White, who's also taken
Speaker 1: some losses and also had some wins, and he has
Speaker 1: wins over Hangman Page. So I go, well, maybe it's
Speaker 1: time to put some shine on Jay White on the
Speaker 1: switch Blade and give him a push to the top.
Speaker 1: But he did or he does have an advantage over
Speaker 1: Hangman Page and the win loss record, so maybe it's
Speaker 1: time for Adam Page to our Hangman Page to get
Speaker 1: the win. This is starting to sound like that movie
Speaker 1: The Princess Bride where they're arguing over the poison drink,
Speaker 1: and he's like, it would make no sense for me
Speaker 1: to take the drink that was in front of me,
Speaker 1: because clearly you would have placed the drink in front
Speaker 1: of me. But I cannot drink the drink in front
Speaker 1: of you because you would have known that I put
Speaker 1: the drink in front of you, and then you would
Speaker 1: have switched it with the drink that is in front
Speaker 1: of me. So this is how I feel with Hangman
Speaker 1: Page and Switchblade that said I'm down Under right now,
Speaker 1: I'm in Australia. It's very close to New Zealand. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of Australian wrestlers. We got Bronson Reed and
Speaker 1: the WWE he's from down Under, and we got Jay
Speaker 1: White from down this way too. I think he's New
Speaker 1: Zealand not Australia, but still I'm close enough that I'm
Speaker 1: going with the hometown hero. He's going to be so
Speaker 1: mad if he hears this. He's probably be like, I'm
Speaker 1: not from Sydney, you Boston. I'm sorry, man, I don't
Speaker 1: know where everybody's from, but I'm going with the switch
Speaker 1: Blade I'm going with Jay White. What about you, Jeff?
Speaker 3: I love Jay White, and I love Adam Hangman Page, Hangman,
Speaker 3: Adam Page. I don't really know this storyline well enough
Speaker 3: to make a confident choice. I probably would be smart
Speaker 3: to go with anything Alex picks, but I just love Hangman,
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go with Hangman.
Speaker 1: That's who I'm picking. The Buckshot Lariat stops with Jeff
Speaker 1: Die and our producer also picks Jay White. Alex. So
Speaker 1: those of you have been keeping track, Alex might even
Speaker 1: be in the lead, so you may want to go
Speaker 1: with him on these picks, or you may say you
Speaker 1: know Jeff and Freddier do they're due so don't. We
Speaker 1: don't know on this one. This was the hardest match
Speaker 1: for me. He's always have been.
Speaker 3: Killing spiders the size of god hands for years.
Speaker 1: This is normal to them. As soon as you said that,
Speaker 1: I legit started looking all over the room above me
Speaker 1: in case they jump in above like it was it was,
Speaker 1: and I thought, for sure, that's not gonna happen to me.
Speaker 1: I'm in a nice house. They've got bug spray. I
Speaker 1: saw a big old roach that was dead yesterday, but
Speaker 1: it was dead because they spray, so I'm like, there
Speaker 1: won't be any ah spider, biggest spider I've ever seen. Horrible.
Speaker 1: It's been the worst day of my life, worse than
Speaker 1: when I lost my father. That's how bad this day was.
Speaker 1: All Right, dude, The easiest match of the night is
Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland versus Bobby Lashly, the biggest son of a
Speaker 1: bitch that was ever born, the baddest dude ever. He
Speaker 1: was in the Army, he had real fights. He knows
Speaker 1: how to wrestle, he knows how to do everything. He's
Speaker 1: such a friggin stud. I love Swerve Strickland. He's a
Speaker 1: two time guest on this show, a former world champion.
Speaker 1: But Swerve, when MVP gives you a business card, you
Speaker 1: say yes, You say even if Prince Nana is awesome,
Speaker 1: you go, can I please bring Prince Nana with me?
Speaker 1: He used to wrestle. You don't say no, you don't
Speaker 1: say hell no, and you don't start a fight. Man,
Speaker 1: You don't start a fight with Bobby Lashley. Are you crazy?
Speaker 1: I saw him one time and wanted to say hi,
Speaker 1: but he looked like he was in a bad mood
Speaker 1: and so he was so scary. Look I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not even going to introduce myself,
Speaker 1: even though we have mutual friends. He just seems like
Speaker 1: he's in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk.
Speaker 1: That's how badass Bobby Lashley is. So I'm picking Bobby
Speaker 1: Lashley all day long. The Hurt business is fresh and new.
Speaker 1: I understand there's going to be some bias there, but
Speaker 1: this is going to be the best storyline that aw has.
Speaker 1: They have one of the best wrestlers in the world
Speaker 1: with Bobby Lashley. They have Paul Hayman is not an
Speaker 1: active manager right now, so let me preface by saying that,
Speaker 1: but the best manager in the game right now is MVP.
Speaker 1: His mic work, his ability to put guys over and
Speaker 1: talk big about guys and be a threat for dudes
Speaker 1: that don't need to talk on the microphone is second
Speaker 1: to none. If Hayman was around, Hayman would obviously be
Speaker 1: number one. Okay, that dude is like he could be
Speaker 1: in movies if he wanted to be. But he's awesome
Speaker 1: MVP and Don Kallis is doing a great job too.
Speaker 1: Don Kallis is right up there. But MVP is the
Speaker 1: best manager in the game right Now they don't call
Speaker 1: it the Hurt Business. Now they call it the Hurt Syndicate.
Speaker 1: I gotta get that right. The Hurt Syndicate has a
Speaker 1: chance to be the best faction if they get the
Speaker 1: right guys. I love Bobby Lashley so friggin' much, man,
Speaker 1: and I'm so glad to see him wrestling. I was
Speaker 1: pissed when he wasn't doing anything on WWE, like a
Speaker 1: lot of fans were. So I've got Bobby Lashley all day,
Speaker 1: and eventually this storyline has to move towards a world title.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they get there, as the stories
Speaker 1: are laying out right now. But this guy without gold
Speaker 1: around his waist just looks naked, and we don't allow
Speaker 1: nudity on television unless it's unless it's skin Amax. Baby,
Speaker 1: who do you pick?
Speaker 3: I could give you my pick, but I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: you listen to some bullshit before we no.
Speaker 1: I love bullshit. Hit me.
Speaker 3: I I gotta say one thing people should hold on
Speaker 3: to is that no matter how things feel in your
Speaker 3: life right now, just know how dramatic things can change.
Speaker 3: You know, like what one do you feel like a loser?
Speaker 3: Could just wait it out? Just just just know that
Speaker 3: things can change. You can be on the top of
Speaker 3: the mountain. You know what I'm saying, Like like J
Speaker 3: White was literally just in anonymity, and now J White
Speaker 3: is this star you know on aew you have, you
Speaker 3: have guys who are working their ways from the bottom
Speaker 3: line is I'm trying to think of some other good
Speaker 3: examples MVP. MVP thinks his career is over, it's done.
Speaker 3: He's doing his best work, I would say, as a
Speaker 3: manager on the mic, doing his thing. There's so many
Speaker 3: ways where you're you're just if you just wait and
Speaker 3: you just persistent and you just do it, you can
Speaker 3: climb to be the top of the mountain or at
Speaker 3: least get your flowers eventually. And I just I feel
Speaker 3: like when I hear these names like MVP or any
Speaker 3: of these things, I just I'm like, I'm inspired.
Speaker 1: I'm inspired by you, MVP.
Speaker 3: I love you, buddy, and I am so happy that
Speaker 3: when I used to roll my eyes as a teenager
Speaker 3: seeing you in on a WWE match, I can now
Speaker 3: go if this guy is incredible, I really like you
Speaker 3: or I really like him. And you know, I'm forty
Speaker 3: one years old now we're talking about how great MVP
Speaker 3: is on the mic. So that's just something I thought
Speaker 3: of for this match. I'm gonna pick Bobby Lashly because Beast.
Speaker 1: Smart pick Alex picks Bobby Lashley as well. I like
Speaker 1: what you had to say. A lot of times I've
Speaker 1: heard people say this. This isn't coming from my brain.
Speaker 1: A lot of time, success is just outlasting everybody else, sure,
Speaker 1: because everybody else is going to give up because they've
Speaker 1: got life, they've got kids. Maybe they don't have kids,
Speaker 1: but they got rent so they can't chase the dream
Speaker 1: like they're gonna give up. So you don't. And when
Speaker 1: you're the last one stand, you're the only one left
Speaker 1: to pick and you can succeed. So just you gotta
Speaker 1: you gotta stick with these dreams. You gotta find ways.
Speaker 1: Even if it can't be on the front burner, put
Speaker 1: it on the on the side burner. But keep the
Speaker 1: flame hot, man, keep the flame hot.
Speaker 3: Always take little pictures around your house of stunning Steve
Speaker 3: Austin with his flowing blonde hair, tape pictures of Rocky
Speaker 3: Maya Villa not looking at the hard cam correctly, you know,
Speaker 3: and it like just like you find these things, like
Speaker 3: you know, you could be that chapter of your story.
Speaker 3: Someday you could be You could be the Rock or
Speaker 3: stone Cold. But like, just know that it took them,
Speaker 3: took them things to get there.
Speaker 1: Anyways. Sorry, I have too much hair to be either
Speaker 1: of those guys. But yeah, once I lose it, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get super buff all right, next up, this will
Speaker 1: steal the show bill. That's right, sir. These two men
Speaker 1: have wrestled once. It was a pretty awesome match. Oh
Speaker 1: I know they wrestled in Japan. Don't get mad and
Speaker 1: start yelling at me. I'm in for a w was amazing.
Speaker 1: Kyle had a fight with his own morality because don
Speaker 1: Kylis was like cheat and Kyle Fletcher was like, yo,
Speaker 1: that's my friend. I can't cheat. He's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: I said cheat. No, I won't cheat. And then he
Speaker 1: lost the match and a few weeks later he went,
Speaker 1: son of a bitch, I should have cheated. And now
Speaker 1: he's learned his lesson. Don Kallis tought it well, Kyle Fletcher,
Speaker 1: another Aussie, I'm in your homeland. You already know where
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, Jeff. Kyle Fletcher shaves his head.
Speaker 1: He gets rid of the old skin, sheds his old
Speaker 1: snake skin shows the new snake skin. There's snakes in
Speaker 1: Australia too, Jesus Christ, snakes, spider everything but scorpions. The
Speaker 1: one thing I'm not scared of a scorpion. You guys
Speaker 1: don't have those, but you have every other freaking monster
Speaker 1: in the world. Here anyway, Kyle Fletcher's one of those monsters.
Speaker 1: And I know that it's weird because well, everybody loves
Speaker 1: will Osprey you know, Freddy loves will Ospray more than anyone.
Speaker 1: I call him the Tom Hardy of wrestling, and I
Speaker 1: love me some Tom Hardy. But he's losing this match, Jeff.
Speaker 1: Tom Hardy's losing, just like Bane lost in Batman, and
Speaker 1: he's losing the shaved head. Kyle Fletcher. He did. He
Speaker 1: lost to bat mean, I know he won the first one,
Speaker 1: but he lost. Kyle Fletcher with the victory. Let's go
Speaker 1: ozzy auzy ausy oi oi oi. That's what they say
Speaker 1: down here, Jeff. I like it. It's a drink. It's
Speaker 1: a drink. No, well, they drink, I mean they like
Speaker 1: to drink, but they do that to cheer on their
Speaker 1: local sports teams, like the Roosters, the Sydney Roosters. I
Speaker 1: like that, all right, Well, who do you pick? Then?
Speaker 1: You like it so much?
Speaker 3: I uh just wouldn't feel right ever going against will
Speaker 3: Ospring Oh, come on, I know I've been talking about
Speaker 3: will Ospray much longer in my in my life than
Speaker 3: I have Kyle Fletcher.
Speaker 1: Now friends all this different crap.
Speaker 3: But I think I think will Ospray is the front
Speaker 3: runner and in my heart and I think he's gonna
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna crush him.
Speaker 1: Well, Alex disagrees with you, he agrees with me, So
Speaker 1: I'll give you one more chance to change your mind.
Speaker 1: Right after I'll tell you change my mind. That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: That's a good name. It's a terrible name. Come on,
Speaker 3: get out of here, and you're high with not a wrestler. Also,
Speaker 3: Don Callous fits that rant that I just did too.
Speaker 3: Who'd have thought we'd be talking about Don Callous?
Speaker 1: And he's the man. I totally agree with you on that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just doing the work and and he's he's a star.
Speaker 1: But yeah, cut his head wide open for that for
Speaker 1: his own art. That's pretty sick too, It's pretty sweet. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, I I like Kyle Fletcher's new Look, but I'm not.
Speaker 3: I don't believe that he's going to beat will Osprey
Speaker 3: in any universe.
Speaker 1: May giant Australian spiders rage your house in Los Angeles, J.
Speaker 1: Don't you put that on me? That's ridiculous. Next up
Speaker 1: the ae W Tag Team Championship four way match. Let
Speaker 1: me just start by saying this, If Private Party loses,
Speaker 1: that is the biggest middle finger that the company could
Speaker 1: have given them with such a short, tiny title reign.
Speaker 1: And this match is such an FU match. If that
Speaker 1: they have no shot of winning, well, they have a
Speaker 1: twenty five percent chance of winning, but they don't even
Speaker 1: have to be pinned to lose the titles. It's such
Speaker 1: an FU match. If they lost, it would be just
Speaker 1: two giant middle fingers right at them. I don't see
Speaker 1: a world where they can just tell Private Party f
Speaker 1: you like that. I'd like they just got the belts.
Speaker 1: They haven't even gotten an opportunity, really to cut an
Speaker 1: angry promo, to be pissed off at someone, to have
Speaker 1: heat with someone. Maybe there's a world where they lose
Speaker 1: and that's what gives them the anger and the juice
Speaker 1: to go after them so they can reclaim them but
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. I'm going with my gut
Speaker 1: and my instincts. Logic says in a four way the
Speaker 1: champs aren't going to retain. But hey, Bianca Bellair and
Speaker 1: Jade Cargill did. Now, granted they also didn't in a
Speaker 1: triple threat. But I think our boys are gonna win
Speaker 1: Private Party. I get invited to the party, so that's
Speaker 1: why I say our boys. But I think they're gonna win.
Speaker 1: They're gonna take it. There's a lot of teams in there.
Speaker 1: I know our producer is picking the kings of the
Speaker 1: Black Throne, which I get. I can see that, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what exactly Alistair Black's story is in
Speaker 1: aew that hasn't been defined clearly to me. So I
Speaker 1: don't see a necessity to put the belt around around
Speaker 1: that that group. So I'm sticking with Private Party. Man,
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with the Young Gunners. Oh, I can't call
Speaker 1: them the Young Gunners because they have a team called
Speaker 1: the Young guns the young men that wrestle under the
Speaker 1: name Private Party. That's who I choose. Jeff, how about you.
Speaker 3: I'd like to say, as a successful stand up comedian,
Speaker 3: you know my special just came out. I just did
Speaker 3: Joe Rogan a couple of days ago. All the success
Speaker 3: I've been having stay tuned Front Station Thursday, where we'll
Speaker 3: get into that mode.
Speaker 1: But you know, I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't try to have a big head or expect
Speaker 3: too many things after this successful run I've been having.
Speaker 3: So that's a, you know, a fun little shout out
Speaker 3: to this in honor of this match.
Speaker 1: Who do I like?
Speaker 3: The Kings of Black Throne the Acclaimed? I want to
Speaker 3: give an honorable mention to the Outrunners? Do they do
Speaker 3: they not look super cool?
Speaker 1: They actually do, Dude, They're super eighties and I really
Speaker 1: love them. I just I think their look is way
Speaker 1: way cool. I just don't think they're ready to be
Speaker 1: champions yet. But I totally agree with you. Their look
Speaker 1: is awesome, their attitude's awesome. Love what they're doing. The Outrunners,
Speaker 1: I love, Like, like you said, I think it's a
Speaker 1: little soon, but they're shit. They're like they're they're tipping
Speaker 1: their hat to a really fun time in wrestling that
Speaker 1: you don't see many people tipping their hat to. Totally
Speaker 1: agree with that all being.
Speaker 3: Said, I like pretty much everyone this is going to
Speaker 3: be the match of the week for me, I think
Speaker 3: as far as like, after it's all said and down,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna really enjoy watching this one the most, expecting
Speaker 3: it to be the best one. I like, I'm gonna pitch.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick Black Throne is who I'm gonna who
Speaker 3: who I think is going to win this match.
Speaker 1: I think it's their time. Well, our producer agrees with you.
Speaker 1: That puts me on the island on this one. Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: But I look at that in a positive way. That
Speaker 1: just gives me the chance to break ahead once again.
Speaker 3: I just think we big boys, they're cool, They're they're
Speaker 3: they're they're they've kind of like they've been slowly. Some
Speaker 3: guys go up, some guys go down, and these guys
Speaker 3: just slowly building in popularity and building in progress.
Speaker 1: And I think that this is gonna be their match,
Speaker 1: all right, sir, The ae W T n T Championship match.
Speaker 1: At first glance, you're going it's an easy pick. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, hold on the the the Elite or no,
Speaker 1: there's a tech team called the Elite. You can't they
Speaker 1: see I'm messing everything up. The ae W Brass are
Speaker 1: the young Bucks. The aw Brass now is Jack Perry,
Speaker 1: So you would say they could win. But come on,
Speaker 1: we're not gonna actually say that Jack Perry is gonna
Speaker 1: win this match when Garcia almost called him Ryan Garcia.
Speaker 1: When Daniel Garcia has just resigned with the company, He's
Speaker 1: getting all the promos, he's doing all the talking. He's
Speaker 1: the one chasing all the time. He's the underdog. He's
Speaker 1: the John McClain that's from the Diehard franchise. If you
Speaker 1: guys are too young to know that, check them out.
Speaker 1: They're cool Christmas movies. Yes, they're Christmas movies. Don't argue
Speaker 1: with me, so let's leave the weapon by the way.
Speaker 1: So deal with that now that you're angry at me already.
Speaker 1: But Jack Perry, who's done a good job as TNT champion,
Speaker 1: I love the segment he did where he just destroyed
Speaker 1: the belt and made it his own. He wouldn't call
Speaker 1: it destroying it. He would say evolving the belt probably,
Speaker 1: but we saw it as destruction because it's a heel move,
Speaker 1: the scapegoat, all that stuff. But it's not his time.
Speaker 1: It's Daniel Garcia's time. They could make him lose. Look,
Speaker 1: anybody can lose, and anybody could win in professional wrestling,
Speaker 1: it's up to the promoter, right, But in this case,
Speaker 1: I think this was the easiest, not the easiest pick
Speaker 1: of the night, but an easy pick. It's Daniel Garcia's time.
Speaker 1: It's not Ryan Garcia's time. Ryan Garcia's time's done. He
Speaker 1: got a beat down. It's now Daniel Garcia's time. He's
Speaker 1: not gonna get beat down. He's gonna win this match,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be your new t He's gonna
Speaker 1: have his first title in aw Man. He's gonna be
Speaker 1: the TNT champion. And he can be a babyface that
Speaker 1: gets beat up a lot and comes back at the
Speaker 1: end to win by all these guys that are coming
Speaker 1: to kill him. Whereas Jack Perry I don't think can
Speaker 1: do that same thing because he's a bad guy, so
Speaker 1: he has to wrestle evil. We don't want to see him,
Speaker 1: you know, get beat down to come back up. We
Speaker 1: just want to see him get beat down. So I've
Speaker 1: got Daniel Garcia, our producer's got Daniel Garcia. Jeff Diyes
Speaker 1: got who.
Speaker 3: Well, Jeff Die is excited about this match, as Daniel
Speaker 3: Garcia has been on fire. I'm not a huge fan
Speaker 3: of small wrestlers, but Daniel Garcia is one of the exceptions.
Speaker 1: I love him.
Speaker 3: I think he's great, I think he's cool, and like
Speaker 3: I said, he's just been on fire lately.
Speaker 1: So I picked Daniel Garcia.
Speaker 3: I think this is going to be I don't know
Speaker 3: if you mentioned it, but like you know the fact
Speaker 3: that he's coming off of a new contract and just
Speaker 3: like just we've got to you got to ring out
Speaker 3: all this heat while you can. And I think that
Speaker 3: there's no one hotter right now in my opinion, or
Speaker 3: he's very hot. So I'm gonna pick Danel Garcia to
Speaker 3: crush Jack Jack Perry.
Speaker 1: Let's go Daniel Garcia. Listen, don't do this match for
Speaker 1: the people. Don't do it for yourself, don't do it
Speaker 1: for your mama. Do it for Jeff and Freddy, and
Speaker 1: do it for producer Alex. We believed in you for
Speaker 1: a long time. I believed in you back when when
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho and Daniel Bryan are Sorry, Brian Danielson, we're
Speaker 1: trying to make you pick pick sides. Were you're going
Speaker 1: to be a sports entertainer or a national wrestler. I
Speaker 1: had your back no matter which way you went. Don't
Speaker 1: forget that. Daniel Garcia the only thing that used to buy.
Speaker 1: And I gotta say this, I used to not like
Speaker 1: the dance move that Daniel would do. I used to
Speaker 1: be like, I don't think he needs and I said
Speaker 1: this on another podcast. I said, I don't think he
Speaker 1: needs it. I think he can talk with it. His
Speaker 1: mic work is good enough that he doesn't need any
Speaker 1: other help in the ring to kind of get himself over.
Speaker 1: I have completely turned around on that as much as
Speaker 1: I turned around on babe. I used to hate the
Speaker 1: babe at the end of an Adam Cole promo because
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, you just when he was an NXT,
Speaker 1: I was like, man, you just cut this amazing promo
Speaker 1: and you're going to hit it at the end with
Speaker 1: a babe like it just didn't make sense. And then
Speaker 1: after like three months, I'm sitting there watching his promos going,
Speaker 1: I'm called baby and I'm saying it before he did.
Speaker 1: And he turned me on that, and Daniel Garcia has
Speaker 1: done the same thing. I will not do the dance
Speaker 1: moves because I'm forty eight years old, but I will
Speaker 1: watch other men do it and I will enjoy what
Speaker 1: I see. Andrew Garcia, you're the friggin man. I'll hope
Speaker 1: you win your match, all right. Moving on to my
Speaker 1: most frustrating match, the AEWTBS Championship match with Mercedes Monday
Speaker 1: versus Chris Stratlander. Statlander not Stratlander. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know who's gonna win this match, and it's not for
Speaker 1: the I feel like it's not for the right reasons.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Mercedes has been given the best
Speaker 1: of stories to tell. When I saw her in WWE,
Speaker 1: the promos were much more succinct. Is that the right
Speaker 1: word succinct? I don't know how to say it much
Speaker 1: more concise. I guess is since I don't know how
Speaker 1: to say succinct much more concise, the motivation was always
Speaker 1: clear whether she was a heel or a babyface, and
Speaker 1: since she's made it to a wide of the Boston
Speaker 1: Show where she debuted, I just haven't clicked with it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's it's good or bad. If you
Speaker 1: click with it, you like it, then it's good. It's art.
Speaker 1: It's all based on how you perceive it. But from
Speaker 1: my perception, I just haven't been able to click with it.
Speaker 1: And so because of that, I don't have a huge
Speaker 1: investment in who's going to win. I want Mercedes to
Speaker 1: win the match because I want her to have a
Speaker 1: match that means something. I think the match that means
Speaker 1: more is against Britt Baker. I think that, and that
Speaker 1: got nipped in the butt for backstage stuff if you
Speaker 1: listen to the internet, if you don't listen to the internet.
Speaker 1: We don't know why, but that, to me was the story.
Speaker 1: And this feels a little more forced, like the the
Speaker 1: square peg through a round hole, so to speak. And
Speaker 1: I don't like being force fed. I like, you know,
Speaker 1: perusing the menu and seeing something that looks yummy. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear the waiters suggestions. I'll make my
Speaker 1: own decision, thank you. And I haven't loved what they've
Speaker 1: served so far, so I'm gonna say Mercedes money. I
Speaker 1: hope she wins, and I hope they find a more
Speaker 1: organic story for her down the road. Does that make sense.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to shit on anyone. It's I'm trying
Speaker 1: to It's just more I didn't ever click with it
Speaker 1: since that first debut. I don't and I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I like the Baker stuff when that was gonna start,
Speaker 1: but then that got freaking driven off the damn road,
Speaker 1: and I don't like how they've recovered from that. That's all.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. So I'm picking Mercedes
Speaker 1: Alex our lovely producer picks Chris Statlander, not Stratlander, But Jeff,
Speaker 1: who do you pick?
Speaker 3: This is gonna be a confusing pick for me. You're
Speaker 3: gonna notice some inconsistencies. Also, Freddie, you don't have to
Speaker 3: feel bad to criticize what's going on over there. I
Speaker 3: think you're not alone. I think everything you just said
Speaker 3: people are going to agree with. Here's the thing, the
Speaker 3: Mercedes monet. They have not executed. They have not been
Speaker 3: able to give her what she deserves and what she's
Speaker 3: capable of. We need to make it happen asap. Like
Speaker 3: Mercedes Monee is two big of a star.
Speaker 1: That's how to say it to.
Speaker 3: Eye roll of this of the of the episode, Like
Speaker 3: she's she's a star, and she deserves a better story,
Speaker 3: so beautiful, she deserves a better story one hundred percent. Also,
Speaker 3: Chris Statlander might be the future of female wrestling. Whereas
Speaker 3: I always say I want these jacked chicks, I want
Speaker 3: these girls to not just look like models. I want
Speaker 3: them to be I want them to be convincing, I
Speaker 3: want them to be buff, I want them to be
Speaker 3: like the male wrestlers. In that way, you got someone
Speaker 3: strong with Chris Statlander, and I'm picking Mercedes Monette because
Speaker 3: I just think Mercedes Monee is a star, and since
Speaker 3: we need to do it now, that's who I'm picking.
Speaker 3: The other inconsistency is, this is the first time I'm
Speaker 3: disagreeing with our producer Alex. I'm gonna I pick Mercedes
Speaker 3: Monette because she's a beast, she's a star, and she
Speaker 3: deserves to win, and she deserves to have a much
Speaker 3: much better storyline.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not even joking. I could do a
Speaker 1: whole episode on Mercedes Money. That's how much I like her.
Speaker 1: I could do a whole thirty minute episode just talking
Speaker 1: about her, her storylines for matches, her wrestling, taking off,
Speaker 1: going to Japan, believing in herself, betting on herself, investing
Speaker 1: in herself, than having that investment payoff tenfold when she
Speaker 1: gets a huge cond Like I can talk about her
Speaker 1: all day and you said it way better than I
Speaker 1: did in one sentence, and that's she deserves better, all right.
Speaker 1: I love her. The main event in the cold November Rain,
Speaker 1: the AW World Championship, the were Wolf John Moxley, who's
Speaker 1: shed his werewolf fur and just become a total asshole
Speaker 1: and is being a jerk to all the other wrestlers
Speaker 1: in aew and not just beating them but trying to
Speaker 1: kill them. You tried to murder Brian Danielson. They're throwing
Speaker 1: bags over people's heads, they're suffocating them, they're trying to
Speaker 1: choke them to death. That's murder, but it's in the ring,
Speaker 1: so it's okay. He's going against the squos in One
Speaker 1: freshly squeezed Orange Cassidy. And the first time you ever
Speaker 1: heard him be called the schools in One was on
Speaker 1: this podcast. So if you ever hear somebody else say that,
Speaker 1: you make sure you let him know. Look, it's a
Speaker 1: clash of styles. It's a clash of personalities. It's a
Speaker 1: clash of body type, it's a clash of look. It's
Speaker 1: a clash of promo. Everything these guys do is the
Speaker 1: exact opposite from one another. I love their promos because
Speaker 1: one is so impassioned and violent and seething with energy,
Speaker 1: and the others like, yeah, whatever, bro, you tuck all
Speaker 1: your shit Like, I just love it's There was an
Speaker 1: old acting exercise or a technique that my old acting
Speaker 1: coach used to tell me, and he would say, the
Speaker 1: bigger someone gets in a scene, the smaller you should
Speaker 1: get in the scene, so that there's this contrasting energy
Speaker 1: and you can play off each other. If you both
Speaker 1: go big, it makes it very, very difficult to keep
Speaker 1: the audience engaged because now they have to suddenly pick.
Speaker 1: They have to pick which energy they like more. But
Speaker 1: if you're giving an opposite energy, they have to be
Speaker 1: compelled to say, well, why is he doing this? Why
Speaker 1: is he doing that? So if one guy's like, come on, man,
Speaker 1: let's go, and the other guy's like, yeah, man, let's go,
Speaker 1: now I'm having to pick between two characters that I like.
Speaker 1: But if one guy's like, come on, man, let's go,
Speaker 1: and the other guy's like, let's just think about this first,
Speaker 1: now you kind of get both sides of the perspective.
Speaker 1: And that's what these two dudes have been doing with
Speaker 1: their promos. And I love the energy. I think it's
Speaker 1: so cool that the musical number they did made me
Speaker 1: believe in every wrestler. The November rain video made me
Speaker 1: believe in every rounds like he could do it. Well, no,
Speaker 1: he could do it too. But Orange Cassidy ain't doing it.
Speaker 1: My man, It's not happening. John Moxley is not losing
Speaker 1: this title for a long, long, long time. The death
Speaker 1: writers are going to come in, which means Wheeler Yuda
Speaker 1: and Claudio Castagnoli are gonna both come in and they're
Speaker 1: gonna screw up Orange Cassidy. That's gonna make Darby Allen
Speaker 1: run out and do some shit. He's gonna get thrown
Speaker 1: out of the ring. To John. There'll be all kinds
Speaker 1: of craziness everywhere. But John Moxley is winning this freaking match,
Speaker 1: and I will fight anybody that says otherwise. Our producer
Speaker 1: Alex also picked John Moxley mainly because he didn't want
Speaker 1: the He didn't want the smoke. He didn't want these hands, Jeff,
Speaker 1: and he's not into it.
Speaker 3: I don't want to smoke either. You're not going to
Speaker 3: have to fight me because I wouldn't. I would put
Speaker 3: Moxley against anybody right now. I just love what he's doing.
Speaker 3: I've been gushing about it for the last five weeks
Speaker 3: on this podcast. I just love what he's doing. I'm
Speaker 3: picking Moxley. I love the story. I'm excited to watch it.
Speaker 3: I know I said earlier that that four way might
Speaker 3: be my match of the week, but I think this
Speaker 3: might be my match of the week.
Speaker 1: I'm all in on it. I love it. You're allowed
Speaker 1: to change your mind as much as you want. This
Speaker 1: is your podcast bro two match of the weeks, you guys.
Speaker 1: That covers the pay per view, not the premium live event,
Speaker 1: but the pay per view. We'll cover premium live events
Speaker 1: next week. You know what I'm talking about. By the way,
