Speaker 1: I said, Oh, Alex hangs out Dave Meltzer. He knows
Speaker 1: all this stuff. He reads the sheets slander.
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me this guy, Alex, our producer, is
Speaker 2: gonna predict it and.
Speaker 1: Tell you the finishing move. This is ridiculous. He's in cahoots.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Sits about to hit
Speaker 1: the fan? Welcome to on sanction Thursdays, horestling with Friday.
Speaker 3: What's up? Everybody? Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays, the show that
Speaker 3: gives you more because we didn't give you enough on Wednesday.
Speaker 3: That's why we call it on sanction Thursdays, even though
Speaker 3: you're probably listening on any other day of the week.
Speaker 3: I cussed a lot on Wednesday's episode. I'm gonna try
Speaker 3: to keep it cleaner this on the Thursday, even though
Speaker 3: this is the one I usually curse on. If you
Speaker 3: want the bad blood predictions, they were on the Wednesday episode,
Speaker 3: you guys can go back and see Jeff and I
Speaker 3: were both three for five. Our producer man, he was fire.
Speaker 3: He was five for five. We'll see. We'll just see
Speaker 3: how everyone does this week, because we're gonna talk. What
Speaker 3: are we gonna talk. We're gonna go to Tacoma, Washington.
Speaker 3: That's Danielson Country and we're gonna talk. Ae W's Wressell Dream.
Speaker 3: This is the second edition of Russell Dream. Pretty good card.
Speaker 3: You might not be super hype for every match. They
Speaker 3: didn't tell a lot of stories with all of them,
Speaker 3: but the ones they did I think you care about.
Speaker 3: And there's one that's just gonna be a straight up banger,
Speaker 3: as Seamus would say. First up, Darby Allen versus brody King.
Speaker 3: These two have had matches in the past. It's always
Speaker 3: the big guy beating up the little guy and then
Speaker 3: the little guy just able to take it, kind of
Speaker 3: in a Jeff Hardy sort of manner. I don't have
Speaker 3: a big emotional investment in this. I do feel that
Speaker 3: Darby is gonna get the push here and he'll get
Speaker 3: the not and Darby's gonna go over for the victory
Speaker 3: over Brodie King. What say you, sir, I know you're
Speaker 3: heavily invested in this one.
Speaker 1: Well. I do love brody King because he's a giant freak,
Speaker 1: and I do like him and I think he's awesome.
Speaker 1: And I love Darby Allen because he's literally a psychopath.
Speaker 1: Like he'll he's just the most reckless wrestler and we
Speaker 1: I mean, he's it's insane. So for these two, it
Speaker 1: kind of feels like they've got something up their sleeve,
Speaker 1: like some big crazy spots.
Speaker 3: Or some ten of them. But yeah, for sure, Yeah
Speaker 3: the match is gonna be good, dude.
Speaker 1: This is one of those matches that like, he'll get
Speaker 1: to When I used to wrestle on the trampoline with
Speaker 1: my friends, you know, we would we would do all
Speaker 1: the moves and we do all the wrestling stuff. But
Speaker 1: then one of like my friends, like little brothers, would
Speaker 1: be like want to wrestle with us? And that was
Speaker 1: so exciting because now I'm a giant and this is
Speaker 1: like a small just all the crazy moves, and so
Speaker 1: I feel like this is gonna be one of those
Speaker 1: things with Brodie King is going to have all these spots.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what they're planning with Darby Allen and
Speaker 1: then I think Darby Allen will win. But I think
Speaker 1: that I think that this match is going to be very, very,
Speaker 1: very very I do. There's gonna be a lot of highlights.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of like reels on YouTube
Speaker 1: and Instagram, of like this of spots from this match.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a coffin drop off the friggin' Empire state
Speaker 3: building all the way to watch exactly. Psychopath is a
Speaker 3: great word for him, all right. Next up, the Ring
Speaker 3: of Honor World Championship is on the line. The champ
Speaker 3: Mark brisco who's super funny with his promos if you
Speaker 3: guys haven't watched him, versus Chris Jericho. Now I'll tell
Speaker 3: you this. Our producer is picking Chris Jericho to take
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor Championship back to the Learning Tree.
Speaker 3: I have to agree with him, and not just because
Speaker 3: he was right every single time on Bad Blood, but
Speaker 3: because of the story, and Jericho's always story. He's always
Speaker 3: reinventing himself. He's always creating new things. He was the Ocho,
Speaker 3: he said, now I'm going to be the Nuevee, And
Speaker 3: right when he said that, I was like, ah, shit, man,
Speaker 3: brisco is gonna lose. I was just starting to like
Speaker 3: really love Briscoe because his probos are really good. And
Speaker 3: so yeah, I'm picking Jericho as well. What do you say, sir?
Speaker 1: I want to pick Mark Briscoe just so I can
Speaker 1: maybe get a point, get a win. I don't really
Speaker 1: know much about the Briscoes, but Jericho looks pretty pretty
Speaker 1: aged lately. He doesn't look like Jed. I know, I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to hate. And also, wrestling has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with reality when it comes to aging and things
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 3: So Jeff Jarrett's still kicking ass out there, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4: That's Rick Flair is still wrestled. So who the hell
Speaker 4: am I?
Speaker 1: But I'm just going to pick Mark Briscoe because I
Speaker 1: like Mark brisco like that Briscoe family, and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: just maybe this will give me some.
Speaker 3: Points speaking about the Briscoes. I used to get to
Speaker 3: hang out with Gerald Briscoe. We called him Jerry back
Speaker 3: when I worked at w w E, and he was
Speaker 3: the coolest old timer dude. You So, I loved hanging
Speaker 3: out with this guy. Sometimes we would just be him
Speaker 3: and I sometimes be me him a couple other dudes.
Speaker 3: But he would always tell me the coolest stories. We
Speaker 3: talk about, you know, traveling because I had traveled from
Speaker 3: acting and he traveled the world from wrestling, and what
Speaker 3: our favorite cities were and this and that, and he
Speaker 3: talked about the seventies and you know, smoking grass in
Speaker 3: the seventies and all they called it grass. He's so
Speaker 3: old school, dude. I just loved him. He was the
Speaker 3: coolest guy. Man. He was really good to me in
Speaker 3: the company when not everybody was. Just the sweetest dude. Man.
Speaker 3: I know he's still around and still kicking ass. Man.
Speaker 3: I just love him so much. Anyway, love that. Hey,
Speaker 3: people ask for stories there there.
Speaker 4: It is, no I love it. You know what, guy's
Speaker 4: old when he calls pot.
Speaker 3: Grass, you know, straight up man. All Right, So we
Speaker 3: got we got the TNT Championship. We got Jack Perry.
Speaker 3: He's the champ. He refashioned the championship to look more
Speaker 3: perry ish, made it look tough and pissed off, just
Speaker 3: like him. And he's going against Katsuyori Shibata the wrestlers wrestler.
Speaker 3: If you like wrestling, you like Katsuyori. If you don't
Speaker 3: like wrestling, you're gonna get beat up by Katti Yori.
Speaker 3: That's how good he is. All that said, Jack Perry
Speaker 3: ain't losing this title anytime soon, and he's definitely not
Speaker 3: losing to Kotsi Jori Shabatto. No matter how tough you are, bro,
Speaker 3: He's spray painted the bell black he grinded it down
Speaker 3: with a metal grinder. You think he's gonna lose it
Speaker 3: that quick?
Speaker 1: Hell?
Speaker 3: No, I picked Jack Perry, so does our producer. Who
Speaker 3: do you pick, Jeff?
Speaker 1: I also take Jack Perry, not because I think, not
Speaker 1: because I like him, because I don't. I don't like him,
Speaker 1: But I do think that they're not gonna He's not
Speaker 1: gonna lose the belt, So I think he's the guy.
Speaker 1: And also I love what he did to the belt.
Speaker 1: I love I love stuff like that. Yeah, it gives story,
Speaker 1: It gives character to these people. Man, it gives them
Speaker 1: a chance to improvements that it is doing the same
Speaker 1: thing every week.
Speaker 3: I love that kind of stuff. Next up is gonna
Speaker 3: be what I predict the match of the ninth. It
Speaker 3: is a triple threat with will Osprey the champ versus
Speaker 3: Ricochet newly arrived Ricochet versus konos Ke, the lone Wolf
Speaker 3: as they call him. And this dude is bigger than
Speaker 3: the other guys and stronger than the other guys, and
Speaker 3: they're gonna both be bouncing and launching off of him,
Speaker 3: over him, around him, and he's gonna be the base
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be the craziest freaking match you've ever seen.
Speaker 3: So please watch this. Let us know on socials if
Speaker 3: I was right, but you already know I was right,
Speaker 3: And I'm picking will Ospray. He's not losing the championship,
Speaker 3: not yet, not in a triple threat. He's gonna hang
Speaker 3: on to it. Our producer is picking Ta Keshia the
Speaker 3: lone Wolf, to outlast both men and get a sneaky
Speaker 3: victory with a screwdriver. He's even calling the finish. He's
Speaker 3: saying Don Kallas is going to give him a screwdriver
Speaker 3: and that's how he's gonna win. And if he picks that,
Speaker 3: he gets two points. If you can even call the finish,
Speaker 3: you should get a bonus point. So that's here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Everyone listening, go back to our other episodes. Go listen
Speaker 3: to all the old episodes. Don't just jump in on
Speaker 3: this episode. Let me tell you last week I accused
Speaker 3: what was this week?
Speaker 4: On Monday? I accused Alex.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very accusatory.
Speaker 1: I said, Oh, Alex hangs out with Dave Meltzer. He
Speaker 1: knows all this stuff. He reads the sheets slander.
Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me this guy, Alex, our producer is
Speaker 2: gonna predict it and tell you the finishing move.
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. He's in kuhutes. I am going to
Speaker 1: make this interesting because our producer, who is a cheater,
Speaker 1: thinks that it's gonna be uh Takashita. You think it's
Speaker 1: Will Osprey for the championship. So I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with with Richet.
Speaker 4: And the newly in the a e W.
Speaker 1: You know, Osprey wants to put him over. He's the
Speaker 1: only reason that he's over there because Osprey personally was like,
Speaker 1: why aren't they using this guy more?
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna pick Ricochet.
Speaker 3: All right, Well you guys heard it there. That's three
Speaker 3: and we all pick someone different, so two of you
Speaker 3: will be embarrassed and only me will be feeling good.
Speaker 3: Next up is a tag team championship to Young Bucks
Speaker 3: versus Private Party. Our producer Alex picks Private Party to
Speaker 3: finally get their first championship ever. The Bucks are the EVPs.
Speaker 3: They have story no matter what. They don't necessarily need
Speaker 3: the titles, and this could be a feel good wrestling
Speaker 3: story for people that have been on the Private Party
Speaker 3: bandwagon for a while and seeing them kind of fall
Speaker 3: short time and time again. So I'm gonna agree with
Speaker 3: him based on that philosophy that this is going to
Speaker 3: be their moment and they're going to get a push
Speaker 3: and we'll see if they can if they can hold
Speaker 3: them for a while and be money on the mic
Speaker 3: and keep giving good matches and all that, and if
Speaker 3: they do, they'll get a long run. And if they can't,
Speaker 3: it's a brutal business, they will lose them quickly. That's
Speaker 3: what the Tag Team Championships are for us to see
Speaker 3: who's got it or who the promoter thinks has it
Speaker 3: and who the promoter thinks doesn't, regardless of how we feel.
Speaker 3: You bestard promoters, but I agree with our producers.
Speaker 1: Again, I'm a little embarrassed that I had to google
Speaker 1: who Private Party is.
Speaker 4: I know these guys, but I had to.
Speaker 3: Like, I'm actually glad you said that, though, because that's
Speaker 3: why I think they're gonna win. Not enough people know
Speaker 3: who they are, and the young Bucks want to change that.
Speaker 3: That's actually I love who you.
Speaker 1: Said that because now that I'm looking at him, it's
Speaker 1: the Isaiah Cassidy and Mark Queen.
Speaker 4: But like I didn't anyways, I hope that they win.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy, I like those guys, and I think
Speaker 1: that it's in my notes here, so I'm not like
Speaker 1: coming up with this on my own. But I don't
Speaker 1: think that the what's what do they call young bucks?
Speaker 1: The young bucks need the belts, they don't need anything.
Speaker 1: So yeah, this will be interesting. Some new tag champs
Speaker 1: that'd be good. I'm gonna pick them as well.
Speaker 3: Then we got the ae W Women's World Championship, Mariah
Speaker 3: May versus and we record these early, you guys, so
Speaker 3: forgive us. It's either gonna be Britt Baker or Willow
Speaker 3: Nightingale who are facing off on Dynamite to see who
Speaker 3: gets to face the champ. I don't give a shit
Speaker 3: who wins because I don't think Miriam May is losing
Speaker 3: this title yet. Straight up, So y'all, can we have
Speaker 3: Alex pick Britt Baker dm D If you want and
Speaker 3: you want to go with him and lose money, go ahead.
Speaker 3: But this week I'm the one going five for five
Speaker 3: and Mariah May is getting another big time dub. What
Speaker 3: do you say, sir?
Speaker 1: I agree with you except the fact that you're gonna
Speaker 1: go five for five, But I agree with who you
Speaker 1: think is gonna win in this match. I think that
Speaker 1: This is definitely gonna be a Mariah May Winter. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see a lie like that. And I
Speaker 1: love her and so I'm happy that she's gonna be
Speaker 1: the champ, and I believe she'll continue to be the champ.
Speaker 3: No che to the Winter of May. I like that
Speaker 3: very much. All right. Finally, the AEW World Championship. It's
Speaker 3: the final countdown, Jeff. This could be Brian Danielson's final
Speaker 3: match against his friend is Bro from the from the
Speaker 3: Blackpool Combat Club, John Matt the Real Wear Wolf, the
Speaker 3: Real Wear we called it first. This man put a
Speaker 3: ziploc baggie over Danielson's head, tried to kill him, tried
Speaker 3: to kill him over it, idol John over a freaking title.
Speaker 3: No real werewolf would do that. Danielson tried to get
Speaker 3: some revenge and choke him out, I think with like
Speaker 3: a like a tie or you know, it was like
Speaker 3: a zip tie. No, the tie was when he went
Speaker 3: at Justin Roberts. I was there when that shit went down.
Speaker 3: That was crazy. He got suspended. They're bros now though,
Speaker 3: so it's all good. But then he got a little
Speaker 3: bit of revenge. Wheeler Judah's in on this we didn't
Speaker 3: know which way he was gonna go. Yeah, we did.
Speaker 3: He took Daniels inside, and these two dudes have beef,
Speaker 3: big time beef. This match is going to be horrible
Speaker 3: to watch now, hear me out. Not horrible is in
Speaker 3: a bad match. It's going to be a great match.
Speaker 3: It'll be whatever they give the five Star men. It'll
Speaker 3: be one of those. There's gonna be so much blood.
Speaker 3: Both these dudes a like to bleed to tell a story,
Speaker 3: and both of these dudes when they do bleed a lot,
Speaker 3: it's not like just a little cut. It's gonna be
Speaker 3: like a twenty minute flooding of blood. It's gonna look
Speaker 3: like a horror movie. It's gonna be so gross. But
Speaker 3: these dudes genuinely hate each other, and we discussed with
Speaker 3: the hell in a Cell match. I kind of accept
Speaker 3: blood a little more easily when there's a reason for it,
Speaker 3: and revenge must be taken on John Moxley. This is
Speaker 3: not the end of Brian Danielson. It just can't be yet.
Speaker 3: My emotions are taken over, and I'm picking Danielson to
Speaker 3: hold on. Even though it's his home state. Bro, it's
Speaker 3: his home state, it's his bro. Everything says John Moxley's
Speaker 3: gonna win, including our producer, but my heart won't let
Speaker 3: me do it. I'm sticking with Danielson. It's not the
Speaker 3: final countdown just yet. He's got a couple more in
Speaker 3: what do you say?
Speaker 1: I think John Moxley, God Brian Danielson have a great match.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be phenomenal. A lot of spots,
Speaker 1: a lot of moments, a lot of people chanting yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: Brian Daniels, and everyone's gonna love it because it's his home.
Speaker 1: It was hometown tame of Washington, which is literally fifteen
Speaker 1: minutes from where I grew.
Speaker 3: Up in Kent, Washington.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I think he's going to lose.
Speaker 1: I knew you were gonna say that tearful good bye
Speaker 1: for everyone. He gets to do it in front of
Speaker 1: his things, His wife comes out, his daughter.
Speaker 4: Because we got the whole thing. Everyone in Tacoma's gone.
Speaker 4: We love you, We love you, Brian, we love you.
Speaker 1: But it's his faithful goodbye. He wanders off into the sunset,
Speaker 1: and then here's another a little prediction for you.
Speaker 2: They'll come back in one year or two years, and
Speaker 2: we'll all say what.
Speaker 4: I cry for that. I cry for that guy. We
Speaker 4: all were there at Tacoma crying.
Speaker 1: We all were at our stupid houses going, oh, Brian,
Speaker 1: we're gonna miss you.
Speaker 4: Why are you doing this to us?
Speaker 1: Just for him to come back and have more matches
Speaker 1: and sell more tickets and then be right back us
Speaker 1: on this podcast.
Speaker 3: Gone.
Speaker 4: I think Brian wins in his big return.
Speaker 1: So just so you know, restling fans, you never have
Speaker 1: to cry over these wrestlers until they die. When they die, cry,
Speaker 1: but when they're retired, just know they're not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: They'll be in the broadcast boost, they'll do a return match,
Speaker 1: they'll be a manager for somebody, they'll be at all
Speaker 1: your wrestling hans. So I think that that's that he loses,
Speaker 1: but he'll be back in like two years.
Speaker 3: All right. Everything you just said is perfectly reasonable, logical,
Speaker 3: believable and correct and correct. Are incorrect and correct nice,
Speaker 3: But you're still not changing my mind. I'm sticking with it.
Speaker 4: See, this is what you did last week, and that's
Speaker 4: why you didn't go.
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking about the whole time. Jeff,
Speaker 3: Are you going to be any place special this weekend?
Speaker 3: Are you gonna be home watching Wrestle Dream.
Speaker 1: This weekend, I will be in Houston, Texas, Uh, Friday
Speaker 1: and Saturday, actually Thursday, Colorado Springs. So Thursday, Colora Springs
Speaker 1: and Friday Saturday, Houston.
Speaker 4: Come see me.
Speaker 3: Are you going to get a new cowboy hat while
Speaker 3: you're out there?
Speaker 4: I got I bought a new cowboy hat in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Well, I was just in Vegas for ska Fest, which
Speaker 1: is a comedy festival, not a not a dirty thing,
Speaker 1: but it's.
Speaker 3: Called for the clarification.
Speaker 1: Yeah, people that don't know comedy, like Jeff was at
Speaker 1: a thing called skank Fest. I'm like, it's not only fans,
Speaker 1: it's a real comedy festival.
Speaker 3: That was Jeff Freddie Prinz. And this is on sanctioned Thursdays.
