Speaker 1: And the most dashing man and professional wrestling Dominic mysterio,
Speaker 1: the man who is rocking two ladies at the same time.
Speaker 1: While the rest of us are out here rocking one
Speaker 1: or sometimes even worse. Dominic, He's out here rocking two publicly, privately,
Speaker 1: and everything in between. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
Speaker 1: Shut up? Bouts that hit the fan? Welcome to on
Speaker 1: sanctioned Thursdays are wrestling with Friday? What's up? Everybody? Welcome
Speaker 1: to the Sunday Sunday. No Sunday is when pay per
Speaker 1: views used to be back in the good old days.
Speaker 1: Now they just throw them on whenever they want. It's Thursday.
Speaker 1: It's unsanctioned Thursdays. Our next podcast is sanctioned Sundays, which
Speaker 1: is a very uptight, just really kind of know it
Speaker 1: all podcasts. You don't want to tune into it. I
Speaker 1: just want to do two, not three. So let's start
Speaker 1: the show. It's the Bash at Berlin this Saturday, Saturday,
Speaker 1: all the way in Germany, the first pay per view
Speaker 1: ever there. They've got an Austrian champion. We'll see how
Speaker 1: meaningful that is to the people of Germany. I think
Speaker 1: it will be. I think he'll get a lot of
Speaker 1: support that being gunther my ignorance is an American may
Speaker 1: may show they may be like heay, he's from Austria, man,
Speaker 1: Californians root for Arizonians. No, anyway, here we go the
Speaker 1: mixtag team match. Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. By the way,
Speaker 1: the two of these people together is just so awesome.
Speaker 1: It's not like a romantic thing at all. They're just
Speaker 1: like bros that respect one another and have each other's back,
Speaker 1: And the way they are with one another, you could
Speaker 1: tell like they're genuinely super cool in real life too.
Speaker 1: Like I just I love the two of these people
Speaker 1: to get Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley versus Live Morgan
Speaker 1: and the most dashing man and professional wrestling Dominic Mysterio,
Speaker 1: the man who is rocking two ladies at the same
Speaker 1: time while the rest of us are out here rocking
Speaker 1: one or sometimes even worse. Dominic, He's out here rocking
Speaker 1: two publicly, privately and everything in between. He's got a
Speaker 1: girl now who lets him play video games whenever he wants,
Speaker 1: whenever he wants. You know, a happy a dude is
Speaker 1: when his wife's not giving him a hard time about
Speaker 1: video games. Now. Look, I cook, right, so if I
Speaker 1: stop cooking, my wife stops eating, so I can kind
Speaker 1: of play video games whenever the hell I want to.
Speaker 1: But that's what happens when you have a skill that
Speaker 1: they don't. And I recommend that marriage advice to all
Speaker 1: my brothers out there. I learn how to cook, and
Speaker 1: they'll depend on you for life, my brother unless they're
Speaker 1: better cook than you. Anyway, Look, when you're as happy
Speaker 1: as Dominic Mysterio and Live Morgan has been keeping her promises,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take everything away from you. I don't see
Speaker 1: how you pick against liv And and Dominick together one
Speaker 1: on one. I can see Dominic losing the priest easily.
Speaker 1: I can see Live Morgan losing to rear Ripley easily.
Speaker 1: She'd do some dirty stuff to make it more even,
Speaker 1: but straight up, man Rhea is gonna kill Live. But
Speaker 1: the team of them, I feel like has a chance
Speaker 1: at this pay per view to drag this story out
Speaker 1: a little longer. Me and my producer alike Alex are
Speaker 1: both picking Live Morgan and Dominic to win. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't feel super confident about this one. And here's why.
Speaker 1: Because you could flip this real quick. That story is over.
Speaker 1: That story is over, and it's time to get to
Speaker 1: the one on one matches. And so that's why they
Speaker 1: would win. But my thing is like, if they beat
Speaker 1: him as a tag team, why do you need the
Speaker 1: solo matches. I'm trying to get you into my philosophy
Speaker 1: behind this. You need the solo matches. Those are the
Speaker 1: more important matches. So if they lose this one, they
Speaker 1: still have a reason to beef it out, one over
Speaker 1: the title and one over Dominic being a scumbag. Oh
Speaker 1: that's Damien's of the story. We all know Dominic is
Speaker 1: big heart, and it's just opened to a lot of
Speaker 1: extra love. He's you know, he's a lot to love.
Speaker 1: Too much for one woman. It's just too much. He's
Speaker 1: too handsome, especially with that mustache. Excuse me, leather strap match.
Speaker 1: CM Punk walked out with a leather strap match, so
Speaker 1: he better have announced it was going to be that,
Speaker 1: otherwise it would have been weird. Versus Drew McIntyre, who
Speaker 1: the last time he was in a strap match was
Speaker 1: against Carry and Cross and he whipped that ass, whipped it.
Speaker 1: He whipped it good. And I think this might be
Speaker 1: Drew's match, and I think it might be Drew's night again.
Speaker 1: And the reason I think that is I think eventually
Speaker 1: Punk will get his WrestleMania moment. It could be against Drew.
Speaker 1: He could be down to zero and he just needs
Speaker 1: one more try at him, one more bite at the apple.
Speaker 1: And maybe Mania is too far away for that to happen.
Speaker 1: But you're saying to yourself, could he put Drew over
Speaker 1: two times in a row? I'm telling you he could.
Speaker 1: This might be a new Punk. This might be a
Speaker 1: Punk that's here to help establish the next generation and
Speaker 1: isn't as worried about his status and his stature on
Speaker 1: the card. Drew McIntyre's the man. He can take a loss,
Speaker 1: so I get it is a harder card to pick
Speaker 1: than I thought it would be. I'm gonna talk myself
Speaker 1: in and out of these things. He can handle a
Speaker 1: loss the same way priests could handle that loss. But
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I just I got a feeling
Speaker 1: that this is a different CM Punk, whether you like
Speaker 1: him or not. I know the fans in England didn't.
Speaker 1: Oh were I don't want to be. There were a
Speaker 1: handful on the on the Mike's where you heard a
Speaker 1: little cmpunk champ, but the majority of them were not
Speaker 1: so much. But I think maybe he's turned over a leaf.
Speaker 1: I've been hearing things that he's been real good to
Speaker 1: the young people, reaching out to the NX tiers, things
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm gonna say that Drew McIntyre wins
Speaker 1: two times in a row over CM Punk two times
Speaker 1: in a row. Why not Cody handled Seth rollins, Why
Speaker 1: can't Drew Randal Cmpunk? And then maybe Punk gets the
Speaker 1: last one, so it's not even, but the last one
Speaker 1: was CM Punk. So I say Drew McIntyre goes over
Speaker 1: for a second time in the leather strap match. Next
Speaker 1: up the women. Oh and by the way, producer Alex
Speaker 1: he also picked Drew to win, and Jeff didn't have
Speaker 1: the guts to place a bed. We'll just say he
Speaker 1: picked the opposite of all mine. That way, he's got
Speaker 1: a chance chance to catch up the Women's Tag Team Championship.
Speaker 1: The Challengers Jade Cargill The Storm and Bianca bell Air
Speaker 1: The Eest versus the Women's Tag Team champions The Unholy
Speaker 1: Union of Isla don An Alba Fire. I think Isla
Speaker 1: is the star of that tag team by the way.
Speaker 1: I think I could be wrong, but I think Ila's
Speaker 1: the star of that tag team. This is a tricky
Speaker 1: one to pick. Producer Alex is picking Bianca and Jade
Speaker 1: to get their titles back. And the only reason I
Speaker 1: would say hesitate on going that way is eventually they
Speaker 1: have to break them up. They have to break up
Speaker 1: Bianca and Jade, and losing a tag team title and
Speaker 1: pointing the finger at someone else is usually the WWE
Speaker 1: start of breaking up a tag team. So that's why
Speaker 1: I would hesitate on it. The reason why I would
Speaker 1: lean into it is they're protecting Jade Cargill a lot.
Speaker 1: They're getting her reps, they're getting her experience in the
Speaker 1: ring so she can tell stories in solo matches by
Speaker 1: herself without them looking to choreographed or too you know,
Speaker 1: not stiff, that's not the right word, but too sticky,
Speaker 1: not fluid, right, And I think she's looked great and
Speaker 1: all these tag team matches with Bianca, and I think
Speaker 1: Bianca's kind of showing her the way. So it's true.
Speaker 1: You either got to go with they're gonna break them
Speaker 1: up or they're not breaking them up yet. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with they're not breaking them up yet because
Speaker 1: I think there's still work to be done with Jade
Speaker 1: and they want to get this done right. She is
Speaker 1: a one of a kind, unicorn type human being and
Speaker 1: you need to treat those with kid gloves. You can't
Speaker 1: rush it along the way they've rushed so many other talents,
Speaker 1: and I think without Vince being there, a lot of
Speaker 1: the rushing is going to stop and they're really gonna
Speaker 1: try to groom these these these young wrestlers and bring
Speaker 1: them up the right way, and I think they're doing
Speaker 1: that with Jade. So I am going with our producer.
Speaker 1: I'm agreen with you too much, Alex, but I'm going
Speaker 1: with our producer and I'm taking Jade and Bianca to
Speaker 1: get the titles back and we'll see what the future
Speaker 1: holds for Eyeline album. Maybe they're the ones that split
Speaker 1: up and they do a little move with Eyelind and
Speaker 1: see how she does on her own. The World Heavyweight
Speaker 1: Championship match. Randy Orton, the Viper, the legend killer, the
Speaker 1: man who jacked my backup with a modified backbreaker back
Speaker 1: in the day. You want to see me get fed
Speaker 1: up YouTube versus Goonther, a man that's never harmed a
Speaker 1: hair on my chinny chin chin. And there's a lot
Speaker 1: of them right now. I have a goate. I've got
Speaker 1: no ill will towards Goonther, none whatsoever. I'm sure he's
Speaker 1: a fine, upstanding man, whereas Randy Orton, he bastard. He
Speaker 1: knocked me out of w D. I was a GM
Speaker 1: for a night, y'all. I could have been the GM forever.
Speaker 1: I'm a better GM than Adam Pierce, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: I know how to handle someone like bron Breaker straight up,
Speaker 1: better than Nick Altis. Although I can't say anything bad
Speaker 1: about Nick Outis, He's been a great GM so far.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I'd have been the best, better than
Speaker 1: Teddy Long, better than Eve Torres, better than Kurt Angle,
Speaker 1: the best, the best, damn it, and Randy took it
Speaker 1: all away from me, which is why I'm picking Gunther. No,
Speaker 1: that's not the reason. I think it's Randy's job to
Speaker 1: make to really establish Gunther as Holy crap, who's going
Speaker 1: to be the next one to take this title from him?
Speaker 1: Who's going to be the next legit challenger to climb
Speaker 1: up this mountain? Mount Gunther? And I think Randy's the
Speaker 1: perfect guy to help build that legend and that mythos
Speaker 1: and that aura around him, so to be a great match.
Speaker 1: But I think Gunther's going to win. I'm sure Jeff
Speaker 1: would agree with me, but since he's not here, he
Speaker 1: has to disagree, and he's going with Randy Orton. Suck it.
Speaker 1: Our producer also picks Gunther to retain the championship. So, hey,
Speaker 1: he's in good company. You thought I was gonna say
Speaker 1: I'm in good company. Wrong. Wrong. Sounded like Charlie Murphy. Wrong.
Speaker 1: He's an habitual line stepper. The undisputed WWE Championship the
Speaker 1: easiest match on the card to call. I don't care
Speaker 1: what the odds are. You're not gonna make much, so
Speaker 1: you might as well bet every thing on it. Cody
Speaker 1: Rhodes versus the Homie Kevin Owens Cody Rhodse's homie, that is,
Speaker 1: although I met Kenny. He's super nice guy. This is
Speaker 1: an easy one. Cody Rhodes segment ratings. They're all good.
Speaker 1: His merch is top selling, like everything's good. He's the
Speaker 1: John Cena of his generation, who is the Hogan of
Speaker 1: his generator. You know how the lineage works. He's the
Speaker 1: face of the WWE. There's no reason for him to
Speaker 1: lose it. There's probably going to be interference from the
Speaker 1: bloodline anyway, so it protects everybody. It protects Kevin from
Speaker 1: just taking a straight up loss. But you know the
Speaker 1: match is going to be awesome. And Kevin Owens might
Speaker 1: be the coolest. I'm not saying he's the greatest. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that My favorite ever was Andre the Giant,
Speaker 1: but he might be the freaking coolest. He's basically Ferris
Speaker 1: Bueller if you think about it, because he can look
Speaker 1: into the camera if he wants to. He breaks the
Speaker 1: rules of wrestling all the time and tells you exactly
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, when we all know what's going
Speaker 1: to happen already because we watch so much professional wrestling
Speaker 1: and we know how these stories are gonna unfold. And
Speaker 1: he's always like, no, screw all everything you were about
Speaker 1: to say, I know where this is going. I was
Speaker 1: gonna punch you right in the face. Like he gets
Speaker 1: to break these rules that no one else gets to break,
Speaker 1: and it makes him stand out so much, and he's
Speaker 1: great at it, which is why he gets to do
Speaker 1: it and other people don't because they're not gonna be
Speaker 1: as good at it as he is. But I just
Speaker 1: love that about him that he can kind of like
Speaker 1: blow up a segment and be like, everything you just
Speaker 1: said is bullshit. I'm gonna punch you in the face.
Speaker 1: And then we're gonna have a match in an hour
Speaker 1: and a half, so deal with it. And then they
Speaker 1: do every single time. So yeah, so they're gonna wrestle
Speaker 1: and Cody's gonna win. Producer Alex picks Cody to win
Speaker 1: via DQ when the bloodline once again to see when
Speaker 1: the bloodline interferes with the match, but once again we agree.
Speaker 1: That sucks. I hate it when there's so much agreement.
Speaker 1: I think we agreed on everything. Yeah we did, damn
Speaker 1: it all right. Well, not the most dramatic episode. As
Speaker 1: far as let's pick a match of the week, let's
Speaker 1: try to predict the match that's gonna steal the entire
Speaker 1: pay per view. Is it gonna be the obvious ones,
Speaker 1: Randy and Gunther or Cody versus Kevin. It'd be easy
Speaker 1: to pick one of those easiest pie the leather strap match.
Speaker 1: The gimmick kind of makes that an easy pick too.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of options here. I think I love
Speaker 1: a good mixed tag match. Man, I love a good
Speaker 1: mixed tag match. I used to love Santino and Beth
Speaker 1: Phoenix kick well, I was gonna say, kick an ass
Speaker 1: on everybody, but he would get his ass kicked and
Speaker 1: she'd come in and save the day. But I like
Speaker 1: a mixed tag that has a chance because everybody in
Speaker 1: that match is gonna be money. Maybe even the women's tag.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's an option there to steal the night. However,
Speaker 1: we all know it's Randy Orton versus Gunther that's gonna
Speaker 1: be match of the night. Those chops in that arena
Speaker 1: or not arena, that stadium, those chops and the crowd's
Speaker 1: reaction to those chops, and WW knows how to mic
Speaker 1: their frigging crowds. You're gonna hear every single reaction. That's
Speaker 1: my prediction for match of the night. Don't forget to subscribe,
