Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready, It's about to hit
Speaker 1: the fan. Welcome to Unsanctioned Thursdays Wrestling with Freddy.
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome and to a brand new episode
Speaker 2: of'veon Sanctioned Thursdays with your Uncle Freddy and your uncle.
Speaker 3: Jeff jackpot Die. Let's start the show.
Speaker 2: All right, Ladies and gentlemen, aew fool Gear is coming
Speaker 2: to Los Angeles, California at the Kia Forum. Lovely time
Speaker 2: of year, the fall is here. The Santa Ana winds
Speaker 2: are blowing at fifty miles an hour in the valley
Speaker 2: and through the hills, but the west side stays cool,
Speaker 2: chill and laid back, and that's where full Gear will be.
Speaker 2: I saw b York at the same place where they're going,
Speaker 2: and she rocked it so party on last time she
Speaker 2: was in California and it was named a different live.
Speaker 2: I've seen York last three times. I love York.
Speaker 3: I wish I could have seen York ever. Dude.
Speaker 2: She was in a band before that called the Sugar
Speaker 2: Cubes and she was super sick in that too, and
Speaker 2: I even have that on my LP of it. I
Speaker 2: have it on record.
Speaker 3: Remember when she attacked that reporter. Yeah, man, she's crazy
Speaker 3: Icelandic rock star.
Speaker 2: Oh, Sir, Billy Idol's attacks got to get beat. That's right.
Speaker 3: It was very pro wrestling. She's like, I'm going to
Speaker 3: go to the town on this lady, and ladies like
Speaker 3: I just said, welcome to the town.
Speaker 2: She came out dressed like a goose and put the
Speaker 2: SmackDown on someone. She's all pro wrestling.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 2: All right, we sidetrack a lot on this, but I
Speaker 2: love our side trucks. All right.
Speaker 3: First off, we.
Speaker 2: Have the ae W TBS Television Championship. It's Chris Statlander
Speaker 2: the champion versus Julia Hart. And at this point we
Speaker 2: don't know if it's going to be Red Velvet or
Speaker 2: sky Blue, but sky Blue is the full time employee,
Speaker 2: Red Velvet is the part time one, so it's safe
Speaker 2: to say it's going to be sky Blue.
Speaker 3: I don't want to crap.
Speaker 2: I hate saying bad things about wrestling, but the title
Speaker 2: run for Christatlander has not worked. It didn't really work
Speaker 2: when she came out and won it from a tired
Speaker 2: and just wrestled Jade Cargill. I haven't seen them come
Speaker 2: up with a story for her, so I don't know
Speaker 2: whose fault it is, but it hasn't worked. Sky Blue
Speaker 2: is too green. She's not going to get the championship yet.
Speaker 2: But they found something with little tiny Julia Hart, who
Speaker 2: used to do the cheerleader gimmick that nobody really liked,
Speaker 2: and then she became dark evil Julia Hart, and everybody
Speaker 2: likes dark Julia Heart a little bit more. And she
Speaker 2: wears like the old sombrero hat and looks.
Speaker 3: She really is appropriating sort of the Day of the
Speaker 3: Dead Hispanic. I mean, like the maker is she kind
Speaker 3: of No, it's not bad, I'm saying it. Just she
Speaker 3: looks like a hot version of what you'd see in Heaven.
Speaker 3: You're like, oh wait, that s that skeleton's got some
Speaker 3: meat on its bones, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: You're like Heaven or hell? Man, this place is great.
Speaker 2: So she's an intrut. Well, let's talk about Julia for
Speaker 2: a minute, because I don't know aw from the very beginning,
Speaker 2: so I don't know if Britt Baker was THEIRS that
Speaker 2: they can claim her as THEIRS, or if this is
Speaker 2: the first one they can claim as THEIRS, or maybe
Speaker 2: there's someone else. I don't know, But if she feels
Speaker 2: like she's grown up within ae W and is now
Speaker 2: getting her chance to wrestle, and I'll give her this.
Speaker 2: She had a match against Willow, and I like Willow.
Speaker 2: She's a she's a bigger girl and wrestles that way,
Speaker 2: and she's sold so big. For Julia Harden this match,
Speaker 2: she didn't have to sell that big. But they had
Speaker 2: a match and there were moments of it where I
Speaker 2: was like, all right, this chick's showing off a bit
Speaker 2: and doing her thing. Man. She had a couple moves
Speaker 2: in the I was like, look at that, and I'm
Speaker 2: sure that she's working hard and understands that. You know,
Speaker 2: she needs more reps and things like that. Everybody just
Speaker 2: needs time in the ring, right. That's why the house
Speaker 2: shows are so good, because you can kind of experiment
Speaker 2: and learn your craft on the road like they do
Speaker 2: in WWE, and they don't really have that as consistent
Speaker 2: in AW for a lot of reasons, some good and
Speaker 2: some that you wouldn't agree with. But Julia Hart I
Speaker 2: think has a chance to win this match, and I
Speaker 2: think the reason why is because it's going to be
Speaker 2: a triple threat, which means you can protect Chris Statlander
Speaker 2: and she doesn't have to be involved in the finish.
Speaker 2: She can be out of the ring selling an injury,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, Julia Hart can get a
Speaker 2: move off on Sky Blue and get the victory and
Speaker 2: become their champion. And maybe I don't know if she
Speaker 2: can act. I haven't really seen her do promos, but
Speaker 2: maybe there's something there in a homegrown talent that they've
Speaker 2: built up and they can turn her into a next
Speaker 2: level champion. Maybe, but I think she's gonna win this match. Jeff,
Speaker 2: what about you?
Speaker 3: If Julia Hart only becomes good eight years from now,
Speaker 3: she'd still be ahead of all the wrestling schedule. Alex
Speaker 3: just texted that our producer just told me Julia Hart's
Speaker 3: only twenty two years old. That's incredible. That's like she's
Speaker 3: MJF style crushing it. She has a full gear match
Speaker 3: against the champ. Sky's the limit for knowing that. Also, yeah,
Speaker 3: she had a lot of twenty two, but she had
Speaker 3: a life like my dad didn't make it past twenty two.
Speaker 2: You know how fast she's like, that's how but I'm saying,
Speaker 2: like my dad's career was fast, Like that's how fast
Speaker 2: this girl's career is going. She's already on TV.
Speaker 3: And she's great, And like you said, there was a
Speaker 3: lot of little moments, and when you watch your wrestler,
Speaker 3: where you go, okay, someone's learning some things, Like remember
Speaker 3: when David Arquette did his first like whatever that's called,
Speaker 3: where you flipped the guy, Like whenever I go, oh hey,
Speaker 3: someone taught him how to do that thing down in Mexican.
Speaker 3: So there's those moments Julia Hart too, where you see
Speaker 3: it go okay. Now she's learned some tricks. She's learned
Speaker 3: some little things, which is pretty good.
Speaker 2: Ae W Tag Team Champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill.
Speaker 2: This isn't a match that I'm hyped about. It hasn't
Speaker 2: been really built up. It's got people in it that
Speaker 2: I barely even know. I know Rush is cool, but
Speaker 2: I haven't seen too much of his mic stuff, and
Speaker 2: I haven't seen too many of his matches. The Texas
Speaker 2: Death Match, Swerve Strickland versus Hangman Page, Jeff, you and
Speaker 2: I have never agreed more. This is a must win,
Speaker 2: a must win for mister Strickland, a must win for
Speaker 2: whoever is booking this show. Swerve Strickland must win and
Speaker 2: go on to the next level of professional wrestling, whatever
Speaker 2: level that is. I don't care if you want him
Speaker 2: to take a title from Christian I don't care if
Speaker 2: you want to put him up against MJF. But he
Speaker 2: needs to be involved with the title picture. Jeff, tell
Speaker 2: everybody how cool Swerve Strickland is for the tenth time.
Speaker 3: He is my favorite, one of my favorites in aew
Speaker 3: He's so talented, so good. You know, he's he's acrobatic
Speaker 3: while also being like muscular and strong, so you see,
Speaker 3: you get feats of strength, but then you also get
Speaker 3: the flippies, which I really like. Uh. And also one
Speaker 3: thing about him that in my humble opinion is you
Speaker 3: could watch him in a match with a big, strong guy,
Speaker 3: you watch him in a match with John Moxley, but
Speaker 3: then you can also watch him have a great match
Speaker 3: with like Darby Allen. He's he's, he's he's kind of
Speaker 3: got the whole. There's there's no limit for this guy.
Speaker 3: And I hope that that means that he beats a
Speaker 3: hangman Adam Page, and then we get to see him
Speaker 3: in a higher, higher level against the against the guys
Speaker 3: that are getting a little bit more main event status.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I hope. I hope that he beats Hangman.
Speaker 2: Also on the show We've Got Then. This is the
Speaker 2: only name Chris Jerich has ever come up with that.
Speaker 2: I don't like the Golden Jets. Kenny Omega and Chris
Speaker 2: Jericho sounds like something a dad would come up with
Speaker 2: versus the young buds the Golden Jets. I'm like, you
Speaker 2: went from less Sex Gods to the Golden Jets. Like,
Speaker 2: less Sex Gods is awesome. You just threw a ley
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 3: For trying to capitalize off of the Golden Bachelor, right,
Speaker 3: like the guy that's that's yeah.
Speaker 2: The gold the one that sounds like Kermit the Frog. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you heard it talk.
Speaker 3: So they're they're like Jericho and Omega. He's like basically
Speaker 3: saying like we're older than these young bucks. We're golden,
Speaker 3: you know, like that's the new ways. My dad's not old,
Speaker 3: he's golden, you know.
Speaker 2: I hate it. I hate it. So they're wrestling, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure it'd be great. There's four good guys in there.
Speaker 2: The International Championship is Orange Cassidy versus John Moxley. I
Speaker 2: think mox League goes and gets his title back on
Speaker 2: that one. Jeff I think you agree. Yeah, Orange Cassidy guy,
Speaker 2: I know the a W Women's Championship, Hikarushida versus Tony Storm,
Speaker 2: the cinematic, the Betty Davis of professional wrestling. She has
Speaker 2: completely changed her gimmick and everyone seems to love it,
Speaker 2: and they love it so much that I think she's
Speaker 2: gonna win, and she's gonna have a pretty solid black
Speaker 2: and white title reign, which would be interesting for her. Look,
Speaker 2: I haven't loved every segment she's done with this, but
Speaker 2: I will say this, the gimmick itself is very very
Speaker 2: very smart, very slick, and she's doing her best with
Speaker 2: it and she's making the most of it, and I
Speaker 2: think she's going to be a champion.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not crazy about it. I don't get it.
Speaker 3: It's you know, that's all. Oh, I'm like Marilyn Moreau,
Speaker 3: but I beat ass You're like, I don't see it.
Speaker 3: I don't understand. So it's very very confusing for me.
Speaker 3: But I don't have to get it. Not everything's for Jeffy.
Speaker 2: Sting, Darby Allen and Adam Freakin Copeland versus Christian Cage,
Speaker 2: Lucasaurus and the young Nick Wayne who just got to
Speaker 2: win over that peacock dude triple threat. This protects the
Speaker 2: old guys, they don't have to wrestle all the time.
Speaker 2: This story can start to get to its focal point,
Speaker 2: which would be Christian versus Edge versus Adam, which would
Speaker 2: be really really cool. And then Adam Copeland can move
Speaker 2: on to what I would assume would be the world
Speaker 2: title picture, because he's Adam Copeland and it doesn't make
Speaker 2: sense for him to go after TV titles and things
Speaker 2: like that. He should be a top level dude. And
Speaker 2: then finally the aw World Championship MJF versus j White. Jeff,
Speaker 2: who do you have? Well, now there's also the Ring
Speaker 2: of Honor Tag Team Championships, which MJF and some would
Speaker 2: versus the Guns. Maybe it'll maybe it'll be an invisible wrestler,
Speaker 2: so we have that match as well. So Jeff, let's
Speaker 2: do some Who do you got winning it? Who you
Speaker 2: got winning the Women's World Championship? Tony Storm or Hikarushida.
Speaker 3: I hope it's Hikaroshida. I like her, she's coolly. I don't.
Speaker 3: I'm not crazy about the Tony Storm gimmick. I like
Speaker 3: Tony Storm. No, no, no, no, hate, just not a
Speaker 3: fan of what she's doing right now. So I got
Speaker 3: Hikara Shida Hakarushida.
Speaker 2: Talk to me about Sting Darby Allen and Adam Copeland
Speaker 2: versus Christian Cage, Lucasaurus, Nick Wayne.
Speaker 3: I think this is your sleeper match of the week.
Speaker 3: I think that this is going to be I think
Speaker 3: this might steal the show, or it has potential to
Speaker 3: steal the show. It's Edge versus Christian Akaadam Copeland versus
Speaker 3: Christian Cage. But I think that this is you know,
Speaker 3: we've wanted this for a long time and we're gonna
Speaker 3: get to see it, which is really exciting. Like you said,
Speaker 3: we have Sting Darby Allen, Nick Wayne and Luchasaurus to
Speaker 3: kind of take the bigger heavy bumps and make some moments,
Speaker 3: but also kind of protect the older guys. But I
Speaker 3: think that they're gonna go all out, two best friends
Speaker 3: beating the shit out of each other, pretending that they
Speaker 3: hate each other. I think it's gonna be really exciting
Speaker 3: and it has potential to be the match of the
Speaker 3: week for sure for me.
Speaker 2: You know, they've had this match in their pocket for
Speaker 2: forty years. Man, They've just been waiting for this moment.
Speaker 2: That's like they're gonna, They're gonna, all right, dude, who
Speaker 2: do you have MJF and his soon to be announced
Speaker 2: opponent or the Gun Brothers, the Guns.
Speaker 3: I hope the Guns win. I'm a big fan of them.
Speaker 3: I'm friends with them. I like what they do. They're
Speaker 3: in trow is so sick a.
Speaker 2: Man. Oh, it's so good with the spotlight oh man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the guns the way they shoot all I
Speaker 3: tried to recreate that, and I don't know how he's
Speaker 3: doing multiple shots of of spit with the gun finger
Speaker 3: at the I was like, how is he holding water
Speaker 3: in while spitting some out and then spitting more out?
Speaker 3: It's pretty cool. It's I would say the Guns have
Speaker 3: the best intro coming down to the ring and music combo.
Speaker 3: That that whole intro is the best we've seen since
Speaker 3: the Attitude era, which in the Attitude era, everyone had
Speaker 3: a great entrance.
Speaker 2: It seems yeahs.
Speaker 3: And MJF doesn't need doesn't need to be the Tag
Speaker 3: Team Champions. MJF is a star, he doesn't need the
Speaker 3: Tag Team Champions also, So I hope that the Guns
Speaker 3: win the Tag Team Champions. I don't care who MJF
Speaker 3: has as a partner. Maybe he has nobody, and that's
Speaker 3: why the Guns win. I I I love MJF. I
Speaker 3: don't need him to be the tag team champion, so
Speaker 3: I hope the Guns win that for sure.
Speaker 2: Agreed. And speaking of MJF and rounding out the show,
Speaker 2: the champ without his title, a king without a crown,
Speaker 2: MJF versus the usurper Jay White with the exotic accent.
Speaker 2: Who's winning this match? And you better get this right.
Speaker 2: It's MJF.
Speaker 3: I mean MJF is he's the Otani of pro wrestling
Speaker 3: right now. He's in a tag team match and the
Speaker 3: AW World Championship match. That's pitching and hitting. Bro This
Speaker 3: guy he's doing, he's doing double time on full year,
Speaker 3: so he's the man. He's gonna be the highest paid wrestler,
Speaker 3: which also is the otani of pro wrestling. So I
Speaker 3: think MGF has to win. He's gonna win, and I
Speaker 3: would be furious if they put the strap on Jay White.
Speaker 3: No disrespect, Jay White, but you're no MJF. So I
Speaker 3: think MGF crushes this and hopefully we get some sort
Speaker 3: of surprises to make me more interested in that match.
Speaker 2: Is that your hot tag of the week or did
Speaker 2: you have another one? Because that was pretty hot that
Speaker 2: tag right there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my hot tag. That's my hot it once
Speaker 3: a week.
Speaker 2: That was a hot tag. Man, And I didn't pull
Speaker 2: away like Osaka did. My girl Bianca bell Air Man
Speaker 2: did her wrong? Did her wrong? All right, everybody? Unsanctioned Thursdays.
Speaker 2: There was an old show in the eighties on HBO
Speaker 2: called Brain Games, and when it was over, you'd hear
