Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Are you ready shot some bouts? I
Speaker 1: hit the fan.
Speaker 2: Welcome to on sanctioned Thursdays, Horestling with Freddy. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: It's on sanctioned Thursday with your host Freddy. Praise Jumar.
Speaker 2: What's up everybody. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I did that. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: I don't have Jeff here, so I'm lonely and I'm
Speaker 2: doing other voices besides my own so that I don't
Speaker 2: feel by myself. My wife's in Toronto shooting ready or
Speaker 2: not too, you guys, She's in ready or not too,
Speaker 2: And it happened like last second, so she had to
Speaker 2: up and leave while we're in the middle of a
Speaker 2: move and left me with the babies, left me with
Speaker 2: the doggies, left me in the new house.
Speaker 1: To organize myself.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure she'll want to move everything so as
Speaker 2: she gets here, so I get to move in twice.
Speaker 2: I'm going bananas. But I'm excited because all my TVs
Speaker 2: are hooked up and I'm able to watch professional wrestling,
Speaker 2: so are you. Today's episode is dedicated to Backlash, which
Speaker 2: is going to be in Saint Louis. We're making predictions.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try to make you people some money. We
Speaker 2: don't have Jeff with us today, so you don't get
Speaker 2: Jeff predictions, but his is going to be wrong anyway.
Speaker 2: You don't listen his stupid old predict predictions when you
Speaker 2: can listen to me and producer Alex here who we pick.
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna probably be down the line. I
Speaker 2: don't think this is a hard card to call. I
Speaker 2: think we got to figure it out. I'm pretty I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure we're aligned on all of them. But let's
Speaker 2: start with the most important match of all, the undisputed
Speaker 2: WWE Championship with the champ, the last champ, John Cena
Speaker 2: Boob Boo versus the viper Randy Orton. Before you cheered,
Speaker 2: you better remember he broke my back in the friggin' ring,
Speaker 2: So it's a double boob.
Speaker 1: Bos bastards all right? Here we go.
Speaker 2: Two decades, twenty years for their rivalry.
Speaker 1: We even did an episode of this on A. A
Speaker 1: and E's I was.
Speaker 2: At eight A W's or a n W on A
Speaker 2: and E's rival show. We did John Cena and Randy Orton.
Speaker 2: I think I did that season. It might be Fluffy
Speaker 2: who did that one. I don't I don't remember, but
Speaker 2: one of us, one of us cool guys did it. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I worked there when this rivalry sort of began, not began,
Speaker 2: but during the middle of it, when people had signs
Speaker 2: it said if John Cena wins, we riot and they
Speaker 2: started cheering for Randy because they wanted something different. They
Speaker 2: didn't want the PG champion. They wanted a more rated
Speaker 2: R champion, somebody who didn't give a shit like Randy.
Speaker 2: That's that's what the crowd wanted back then. Now they're
Speaker 2: loving John cenas the bad guy, right, and they're loving
Speaker 2: Randy Orton is.
Speaker 1: Just being one of the greatest wrestlers to ever do it.
Speaker 2: When I worked there, he was the best wrestler on
Speaker 2: planet Earth. You know, he's he's older now it's still
Speaker 2: to me he's still the best. But I think you
Speaker 2: can make an argument, well, Ospray's there, Seth Seth freaking
Speaker 2: Rollins is up there. There's there's a few guys that
Speaker 2: are that are up there. I wonder who Randy thinks
Speaker 2: the best wrestler is. But I digress. Anyway, they're wrestling
Speaker 2: in his hometown Saint Louis, the same city where that
Speaker 2: son of a bitch broke my back. They cheered by
Speaker 2: the way. I'm like, it's in his hometown. Man, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be bummed out that he beat up a celebrity
Speaker 2: nobody and they weren't anyhow, They're gonna wrestle. It's seen
Speaker 2: a seventeenth world title reign. That's what's on the line.
Speaker 2: Jeff has no idea who's gonna pick because he's not here,
Speaker 2: but both Alex and I picked Sena to retain. And
Speaker 2: not only that, I'm tell you to finish, all right,
Speaker 2: I tell you to finish. I want you guys to
Speaker 2: think back in this twenty year rivalry. I want you
Speaker 2: to think back to how Randy lost the match but
Speaker 2: retained the title by slapping the shit out of Mike Kyota,
Speaker 2: the referee, and a shout out Mike Yota.
Speaker 1: He worked there when I worked there. He's always really
Speaker 1: nice to me.
Speaker 2: He got the shit slapped out of him though, by Randy,
Speaker 2: and he's like, Yo, man, what the fuck you just
Speaker 2: slapped the shit out of me? And Randy was like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do about it? And he's like,
Speaker 2: I fucking disqualify you, ding Ding ding Ding, and he
Speaker 2: disqualifies Randy Orton, which means the champ at the time,
Speaker 2: who is Randy Orton, loses the match, but the champion
Speaker 2: can't lose their title in professional wrestling via disqualification, so
Speaker 2: he retained the championship.
Speaker 1: And Seene is.
Speaker 2: Looking at this going down, like, Yo, what the fuck
Speaker 2: just happened to me? That's what he's going to do
Speaker 2: to Randy. I think Randy's going to be about to
Speaker 2: win the match, and I think John's going to slap
Speaker 2: the shit out of whichever referee's there now, and he's
Speaker 2: going to be like and point at him and be like, yeah, motherfucker,
Speaker 2: you forgot, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: And I think that's how.
Speaker 2: He's going to maintain this championship, which would be a
Speaker 2: big fu and a really cool throwback. Or maybe you
Speaker 2: hate the idea, you can hit us up on our
Speaker 2: social media if you think it sucks.
Speaker 1: You won't hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2: You will hurt Jeffs though, and he'll go in on
Speaker 2: you guys even if you go in on me. So
Speaker 2: if you don't want to get got, be careful.
Speaker 1: He's a professional. He's pretty good at it all right.
Speaker 2: Next up the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship, the newest championship.
Speaker 1: I think it came after the US.
Speaker 2: No, the US came after, but anyway, the champ is
Speaker 2: Lyra Valkyria out of Ireland versus Becky Lynch out of Ireland.
Speaker 2: Both women stand five foot No, I don't know un
Speaker 2: till they are. But Becky Lynch has betrayed her and
Speaker 2: she's challenged her for the women's in her Continental Championship,
Speaker 2: and we don't know who's gonna win this.
Speaker 1: Huh is it going to be youth the youth or
Speaker 1: is it.
Speaker 2: Going to be experienced. I tend to pick these on
Speaker 2: who cuts the better promo, who can get more asses
Speaker 2: in the seats. Becky Lynch is second to none on
Speaker 2: the microphone. Her worst promos probably an eight, bests are ten.
Speaker 2: Obviously a lot of nines in there. That's her average,
Speaker 2: and Lyra's aren't there yet. She just hasn't had enough time.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: They pull a lot of people, in my opinion, up
Speaker 2: really really early before they've developed that, and they let
Speaker 2: them learn on the job. They give them an opportunity
Speaker 2: to fail, but they're quick to pull a plug if
Speaker 2: you do, they don't give everyone the same amount of leash, right,
Speaker 2: and I think they might pull the leash on this one.
Speaker 2: And I think becky'llill establish that title be able to
Speaker 2: carry a little more gravity and a little more weight
Speaker 2: based on her experience and her talent. So I'm picking
Speaker 2: Becky Lynch to upset the champ and win, and so
Speaker 2: does producer Alex because he's a.
Speaker 1: Wise wise man like Paul Hayman.
Speaker 2: Next match, McAfee versus Gonther, I think, and so does
Speaker 2: our producer Alex, that this isn't gonna be a squash match,
Speaker 2: but Gunther is gonna tear Pat McAfee apart and beat
Speaker 2: him into oblivion and probably get a ko where the
Speaker 2: ref just has to stop the match because Pat's not
Speaker 2: gonna tap He's not gonna tap out because Gunther did.
Speaker 2: And then Pat can save a little face and be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I didn't tap out, bitch, and you did. Don't
Speaker 2: ever forget that. But he's gonna get kaoed where he
Speaker 2: can't answer the bell and they're gonna have to medically
Speaker 2: stop the match. That's what I think is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: I'm not even giving you guys picks this week, I'm
Speaker 2: giving you picks and finishes.
Speaker 1: Come home.
Speaker 2: Next up the United States Championship. It's a freaking fatal
Speaker 2: four way. It's the champ. Jacob Fatum telling you right now,
Speaker 2: that's my pick versus La Knight versus Damian Priest versus
Speaker 2: Drew MacIntyre. Now, if you want to go against me,
Speaker 2: now's the time to do it, because Drew MacIntyre is
Speaker 2: one of the best dudes on the microphone as well
Speaker 2: right now. His wrestling top shelf obviously the body. Come on, man,
Speaker 2: he's one of the best looking dudes out there. Handsome face,
Speaker 2: great beard, super jacked and thick like he looks like
Speaker 2: you know what they said, like Jim Tomy was built
Speaker 2: like a tree. He's thick like that, like built like
Speaker 2: a redwood. But then he's jacked like Bruce Lee at
Speaker 2: the same time, So he's got the total package. If
Speaker 2: you wanted a dark horse that you could be like. Oh,
Speaker 2: he came into this story a little late, but I
Speaker 2: could see them putting the belt on Drew, But no,
Speaker 2: the championship will remain with the champion.
Speaker 1: Jacob Fatto. I think he's going to have a rocket
Speaker 1: ship and it's not time for him to lose yet.
Speaker 2: When he does, it'll be time for him to go
Speaker 2: after a bigger title, and he'll come after whoever the
Speaker 2: champion is at that at that point, we don't know.
Speaker 1: We don't know.
Speaker 2: It could be Johnsona, could be Cody Roads, could be
Speaker 2: Randy Orton, could be Zamy's. It could be Sammy's ain.
Speaker 2: If you didn't watch Money and Iraw, you don't know.
Speaker 2: You don't know where he went.
Speaker 1: You don't know.
Speaker 2: Now not all these are matches we know are going
Speaker 2: to happen, because we record these before they announce that stuff.
Speaker 2: We think these are gonna happen. So tag team titles
Speaker 2: on the line. Phraxium, which is a new team up
Speaker 2: from NXT, which is Axiom and Nathan Frazer I believe
Speaker 2: is the is the young Englishman's name versus the Street Profits.
Speaker 2: Street profits are winning this match. No matter what, They're
Speaker 2: winning this match. I think Phraxium is awesome, they have
Speaker 2: great moves, but Street Profits are winning this match. Next
Speaker 2: step maybe the toughest one to pick on the card,
Speaker 2: the only hard one to pick on the card, I think,
Speaker 2: which is Logan Paul versus the Champ Jay Uso. My
Speaker 2: pick is Jay Uso because I don't think they put
Speaker 2: it on him to take it off him. I think
Speaker 2: they're gonna give him a real shot. He has great
Speaker 2: crowd control. His matches are awesome, but the crowd control
Speaker 2: is huge, like the interaction with the crowd. Like when
Speaker 2: sponsors want to offer you jobs on Instagram, they look
Speaker 2: at interaction a lot, like in the chat, like how
Speaker 2: many people are commenting? Are you speaking with them? Is
Speaker 2: their interaction like in the wrestling world. Jay's a master
Speaker 2: of that and has it locked in by the way
Speaker 2: his brother's killing it on the mic and in the
Speaker 2: backstage segments. Jimmy's on another level right now. But Jay's
Speaker 2: winning this match. Our producer also picks jayda win the match.
Speaker 2: I think Logan Paul doesn't care if he wins or loses.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's like that at all, and I
Speaker 2: think he's just going to give an awesome match the
Speaker 2: two of them. They're both going to fly across the
Speaker 2: ring and it's gonna be awesome. But I still pick
Speaker 2: Alex or not pick Alex.
Speaker 1: I picked Jay.
Speaker 2: Finally, Tiffany Stratton, the women's champion who's been surprisingly quick
Speaker 2: to improve on the mic last couple weeks on TV,
Speaker 2: like wait, wait what, wait what that that was pretty good.
Speaker 2: This is another one of those instances where they were like, look,
Speaker 2: you're we don't think you're you are where you're going
Speaker 2: to be on the mic, but we're going to give
Speaker 2: you an opportunity to fail, and they have and she's
Speaker 2: not failing. She's done really well the last couple weeks
Speaker 2: and held her own in there and even if she
Speaker 2: had to go off script just a schmidge and then
Speaker 2: get back on like you didn't see any like fumble
Speaker 2: on the field, so to speak. She's going against Naia
Speaker 2: Jack's She's winning. She and Alex thinks Tiffany's winning too.
Speaker 2: We both pick Tiffany stratd. I don't think this is
Speaker 2: a hard one at all. They're not taking the belt
Speaker 2: off her. She's improving on the microphone, and she'll only
Speaker 2: improve in the ring because she's new to it and
Speaker 2: already good and could flip all over like a luchit
Speaker 2: or two and drop the elbow after the backhand spring,
Speaker 2: which is pretty sick. So she's winning that match, you guys.
Speaker 2: That's easy, and so is the picks on this episode
Speaker 2: of Unsanctioned Thursday. Place your bets on whatever draft app
Speaker 2: you guys use, make some money, Shout us out on
Speaker 2: the social media wrestling with Freddie Always let us know
Speaker 2: and give us a little handclap emoji when we make

Speaker 2: week because we'll be here for you talking all things wrestling.
