1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: I love Daniel Garcia, I completely I used to not 2 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: like the dance move. I was like, man, I don't 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: think he needs that. I feel like he's better than that. 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: What the fuck do I know? Now I'm sitting there 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 1: ready to do the dance with him. I just think 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: it's awesome. He completely changed me. I was down on 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: the babay too when it was in NXT, and now 8 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying babe all the time. Ladies and gentlemen, are 9 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: you ready's about to hit the fan? Welcome to on 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 1: sanctioned Thursdays? Honestling, what's fready? What's up? Everybody? Welcome to 11 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: unsanctioned Thursdays. I'm drinking green tea because the house I'm 12 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: in Australia has a weird coffee machine that I don't 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: know how to work, and I got up too early 14 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: to do this show to even go get coffee. So 15 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: we're doing the Asian vibe today, feeling very Japanese, Chinese, 16 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: very Korean, very Asian in general. I'm going to be 17 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: very respectful on this episode, very disciplined. I'm going to 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: be make everything perfect the way Japan does. Hopefully you 19 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: guys like the show. So let's start with some news 20 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: and an update. I told you, guys, I'm a man 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: with a TV deal who doesn't have a promotion. That's 22 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,199 Speaker 1: where I'm at right now. I have a TV deal. 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: How does this happen? How does how do I get 24 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: this back? How do I do everything backwards? I have 25 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: the TV deal in place without the promotion, And again 26 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: I can't I almost said everything. I can't say too 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: too much. But on the last update I said, we 28 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: were speaking with somebody and we were talking more about 29 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: acquisition than than say, creation from scratch, right, something that 30 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: already exists. Some of you had guessed what those promotions 31 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: might be. You all guessed wrong. I saw, I saw that. 32 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: I saw the comments. Everybody was wrong, so ha ha 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: in your face. The people we were speaking with, I 34 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: think got a little bit of cold feet. There would 35 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: have been a lot of travel involved for me too, 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: which would have been tough, but I would have done it. 37 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: But anyway, that deal is quickly going away into the 38 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: world of into the void of shows that never got 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: to be on TV. I was super bummed. I was 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: in Australia when I got the news. I was on 41 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: set out here. We're doing that. I know what you 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: did last summer movie and Super Bummed, and the girl 43 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,399 Speaker 1: that I was working with, she was like, what's wrong? 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: Whole energy just changed. And we had just been talking 45 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: about wrestling because her dad was a wrestling fan. He's 46 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: from Detroit, Good Wrestling City. Letting her know she knows 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: more than you guys know that the deal I was 48 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: ninety nine percent sure was going to fall apart. My 49 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: boss or my partner I guess in this case, texted 50 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: me while I was talking to her, and so after 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: we spoke, he said, but what about Boom Boom Boom 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 1: Boom Boom? And he named like four or five other 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: promotions that are looking for TV deals. I said, look, 54 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm receptive to four of the five that you said. 55 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: There was one there that I felt was trying to 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: do the same thing that I was trying to do. 57 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to go in there and step 58 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: on their toes and be like, well, what you wanted 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: to do, even though it's the same as what I 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: want to do sucks. We're going to do what I 61 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: want to do. No, they should be able to chase 62 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: their own dream and try to pull that off. But 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: there were four other places that they mentioned that are 64 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: all looking for a TV deal or a new TV deal, 65 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: one or the other, and he thought they might be 66 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: receptive to us coming in and talking to them about 67 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: a creative refreshment. And here's a television deal for you. 68 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: So that's the update. That's where we're at. I have 69 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: to start over once again. I'm going to have to 70 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: meet with new people once again. I'm going to have 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: to pitch myself to these promotions once again and earn 72 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: their trust once again. But hopefully I'll be able to 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: do it. I've been able to do it in the past. 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: I've done it. We haven't been told no by anybody 75 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: from what I was bringing to the table. It was 76 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: more a financial thing, which is where the no was 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: coming from. But the creative has been cool so far. 78 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: So I feel confident in that. I have to just 79 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: remain diligent and stay on the path and not let 80 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: setbacks get me down. I'm telling you, man, when I 81 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: first got the text, you get these thoughts in your head, like, well, 82 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: maybe maybe this isn't what I'm supposed to do. Maybe 83 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: I'm maybe I'm just supposed to act. Maybe I'm supposed 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: to to stay in my lane, as they say, and 85 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: all these negative thoughts. Your brain fucking lies to you. 86 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: It's Thursday. We can cuss. I'm not straight edge. Your 87 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: brain lies to you. Man. Your heart inspires you, your 88 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: brain lies to you. Your brain says you can't do it. 89 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: Your brain says it's too dangerous. Your brain says it's 90 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 1: too risky. Don't ask that girl out. She's just gonna 91 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: say no. Don't chase your dream, man, You don't have 92 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: time to do that. Yes, you freaking do, even if 93 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: you have a full time job. You might have to 94 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: sacrifice some other bullshit in your life, but it's bullshit, 95 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: so sacrifice it and chase your damn dreams. But everybody, 96 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: everybody deals with doubt that's created by our minds. My 97 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: brain lies to me. It has my whole life. It's 98 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: told me maybe two true things in my life, and 99 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: those are both guesses on what Christmas presents would be 100 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: when I was a kid. Other than that, it just lies. 101 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: I don't know if yours brain's worked the way I 102 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 1: mind does, but that's what my brain does. So I 103 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 1: was going through a lot of like weird, funky stuff 104 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: and then pulled myself out of it and said, Okay, yeah, fine, 105 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: if I have to start over. I'll start over again. 106 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: I don't give a shit. This is what I want 107 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 1: to do, this is what I'm meant to do, this 108 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: is what I'm going to do. So I'm back on 109 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the path. I'm working it again. I would love it 110 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: if I could get a deal done for no other 111 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: reason than I can tell you, guys all the places 112 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: that I failed at, all the people who said no, 113 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: all the people who were nice, all the people who 114 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: were jerks. And there was one lady that literally was 115 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: just like, can we just make it a reality show? 116 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: I was like, that's not what what do you mean? 117 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: You just want me on a reality show? It's a 118 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: wrestling program. But we'll get into all that. But once 119 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: I finally get a deal, and I will because I 120 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: believe in the power of positivity. Like Bo Dallas once said, 121 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: you've got to bow lee real ones know that. Anyway, 122 00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: let's get into aw fool Year. What a card, what 123 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: a show, what a pay per view? And god damn 124 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: does it feel good to be right all the time? 125 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: Oh God, it just feels so amazing. So we're gonna 126 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: get into it right now. First up, the AEW Tag 127 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: Team Championship four way match, a four way tag match, 128 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: no way Private Party can retain. There's no way Private 129 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: Party can retain right, right, wrong, as Charlie Murphy said, wrong, 130 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: He's an habitual line stepper. He was talking about Rick James. 131 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: Private Party was going Jeff. You know, Jeff picked the 132 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: Black throwne he loves the Black Throne, and Alex he 133 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: also picked the Black Throne. But your boy Freddie picked 134 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 1: Private Party to win, and everyone was against me. But 135 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: what kind of a title run would it have been. 136 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: I'm trying to give you guys the philosophies on my 137 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: picks here, so you guys can start making picks without 138 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: my help, and then you don't need me anymore. Then 139 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: you don't need this show. And then we have to 140 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: do on sanctioned Fridays because Thursdays will be canceled. But anyway, 141 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: it wouldn't have been much of a run. And it 142 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: really doesn't get your tag team over if as soon 143 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: as they win it, they lose it. So this had 144 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: to be a match that Private Party had to win. Otherwise, 145 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: why did you give them those belts in the first place. 146 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: It would have been a horrible mistake and an absolute 147 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: waste of everybody's time. That was my philosophy behind picking them, 148 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: and it was proven correct. Fun match. Hard to have 149 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: eight people in a ring and tell a singular story 150 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: as far as what everyone wants, but I thought they 151 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: pulled it off. Not a big fan of four ways, 152 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: three is the most that I usually like. Still a 153 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: good match. Private Party wins, But we move on to 154 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: MJF versus Roderick Strung and the winner was MJF. We 155 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: all knew this though. This was an easy pick. Everybody 156 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: pick even Jeff got this one right. Jeff, way to 157 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: go bro. Our producer Alex also picked MJF because he 158 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: knows what time it is and this was an easy match. 159 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 1: MJF came out, he looked awesome. Roderick Strong looked awesome. 160 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: MJF tried to break his arm. Adam Cole runs out. 161 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: Everybody loves Adam Cole. Beabey, he came out. Kyle O'Reilly 162 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: was like, yo, man, what's up with you? Dude? You 163 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: kind of heal a baby face. Get out of my face. 164 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: So they'll have some beef in the future. But we 165 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: got to deal with the MJF story first. We all 166 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: picked them. JF and if you picked MJF. You made 167 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: money as well. The ae W TBS Championship match. Just 168 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: time to talk to the ladies. We have Mercedes Monday 169 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: versus Chris Statlander. Now look, I've got money, I got 170 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 1: mone You know that our producer Alex picked Statlander and 171 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: Jeff picked Money as well. The philosophy on this one, 172 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: I guess I didn't explain the philosophy and MJF, but 173 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: that was pretty easy. The match is Adam Cole and Max, 174 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: not Adam Colean Rodrick Strung, so that was why I 175 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: picked that. But they haven't given Mercedes enough yet. Since 176 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: she's been in aw she hasn't been given the story. 177 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: I think the story was her and Britt Baker, but 178 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: if you believe the backstage stuff, some drama happened that 179 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: put that on the on the back burner. If you don't, 180 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: then maybe Brit got hurt and they just couldn't complete 181 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: that story, so they put Chris in there. Britt I 182 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: think could have beaten Mercedes. They could have even gone 183 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 1: back and forth with it. They're both high level, but 184 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: that didn't happen. So my philosophy was, if that didn't happen, 185 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: they're waiting for that to happen now that she's back, 186 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: and Mercedes has to have the belt to make that 187 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: mean something. So that was the philosophy on that. Of 188 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: course I was right because I'm almost always right, and 189 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: this week I was Jay White versus Adam Hangman Page, 190 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: the man with would you call it a top ten 191 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: clothes line of all time? His Buckshot Lariot, I don't know. 192 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: Maybe the best is JBL. JBL's got the best clothes 193 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: line ever because it came from hell and everything from 194 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: Hell is just all awesome. See you and here. Anyway, 195 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: I picked Jay White. The story was he kind of 196 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: has Hangman's number and he for whatever reason, he's just 197 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: able to sneak out wins over Adam Page, and Adam 198 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: has gotten a victory over him. But it's it's it's 199 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: been more one sided. I thought that would remain true. 200 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: Page has seemed to be wanting to help other guys 201 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: out and and put other guys over since he came 202 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: back outside of Swerve, which was the right story. I 203 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: love when wrestlers do this. I don't talk a lot 204 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 1: of Hangman Page, but what he's been doing in the 205 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: ring I feel like has been the right thing since 206 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: he came back, his characters kind of off off the off, 207 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: out of his gourd right now, out of his mind. 208 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: He's just crazy because of what happened with him and Swerve, 209 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: and he's really stayed true to that character. When you 210 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: when you go through the things he's gone through, I 211 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: think you're more susceptible to mistakes, and that's how he's 212 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: been losing matches. So I think they've been doing a 213 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: really smart job with it. Yeah, we all picked j 214 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: White or no. Jeff picked Hangman Page because he loves him, 215 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: and he was wrong wrong, you know, Alex and your 216 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: Boyfriddie were ready. Kyle Fletcher, Kyle, I'm in your country 217 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: right now, Sydney, Australia, which is where you're from. I 218 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: supported you throughout this. I love this country. I love 219 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: this city. I love the food, I love the weather. 220 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: It's summertime here, so it's nice and warm. I've got 221 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: my endless summer. The waves weren't very good while I 222 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: was out here, so no surfing and my family came out. 223 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: There's also sharks in Australia, which frightened me, even though 224 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: they're nice ones like nurse sharks things like that. But 225 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: I picked Kyle Fletcher. I knew he was gonna win. 226 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: You can't. You can't build this kid up to beat him. 227 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: And they've changed his character. He shaved his head, he's 228 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: changed his clothes, he's changed his persona. He's willing to 229 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: cheat to win and do the don Kallis dirty deeds 230 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: that are necessary to get these evil victories. And he 231 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: had a loss to Will Ospray when they were both 232 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: wrestling under the don Kallis flag. As like this sort 233 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: of showcase that he would do where he was showing 234 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: how his wrestlers are better than everyone else's wrestlers. And 235 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: Will won that match. So I thought it was Kyle's turn, 236 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: and I felt really really confident in this pick. Knew 237 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: this match would bring the house down, knew it would 238 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: steal the show. This was my favorite match of the 239 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: pay per view. This happened two weeks ago. I still 240 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: remember the match really, really well, even though I've seen 241 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: a ton of wrestling since then. When Kyle Fletcher got 242 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: the win, Jeff picked Will because he loves Will Ospray. 243 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: Everybody loves Will Ospray. I love Will Ospray, but it 244 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: was not will Osprey's night. It was Kyle Fletcher's night 245 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: and Kyle Fletcher got the win. And if you went 246 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: with Alex and Freddie, then you made no. If you didn't, 247 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: then you got the big no. Moving on ae WTNT 248 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: Championship match, Daniel Garcia Versus formerly known as Jungle Boy, 249 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: almost called him Luke Perry, Jesus christ Freddy Jack Perry. 250 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: So glad he got rid of the moniker jungle Boy. 251 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: He's a man's man now. This again, this was an 252 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: easy pick for me. The Daniel Garcia story was the 253 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,479 Speaker 1: ultimate underdog, blue collar. If you're familiar with the Diehard franchise, 254 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: he's John McClain, right, He's the everyman cop. He's the 255 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: guy that you watch in the movie and you go, yeah, 256 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: I would do the same thing. If terrorists tried to 257 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: take over my workplace, I'd be the one that saves 258 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: the day. Who That's who Daniel Garcia is. I always 259 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: almost call him Ryan Garcia. He's way cooler than Ryan Garcia. 260 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: But yeah, this was the story. This was the match 261 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: that I think the fans probably cared about the most 262 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: because they're so behind Daniel right now, and they give 263 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: him this great segment where he's like listening to a 264 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: message from his mom on his voicemail that his mom 265 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: left him reminding him of how she raised him. But 266 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I thought 267 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: it was beautiful. I loved this story. I love Daniel Garcia. 268 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: I'm completely I used to not like the dance move. 269 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: I was like, man, I don't think he needs that. 270 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: I feel like he's better than that. What the fuck 271 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: do I know? Now I'm sitting there ready to do 272 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: the dance with him. I just think it's awesome. He 273 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: completely changed me. I was down on the babay too 274 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: when it was in NXT, and now I'm saying babe 275 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: all the time. So when wrestlers do great things, my 276 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: opinions change, and I like it when I'm wrong. I'm 277 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: not wrong on my picks, though, Baby, because Daniel Garcia 278 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: won and he is your new TNT champion, I can't 279 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: wait to see where they go with this. Babyfaces usually 280 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: don't get to hold mid titles as long as heel 281 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: champions do because it's more fun to watch the faces 282 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: chase the heel and it's not representative of the company 283 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: because it's not the main championship. So I feel like 284 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: that's usually more of a heel thing, but it'll be 285 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: a fun run. Daniel's really really good on the mic, 286 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: and he's great in the ring, and he really knows 287 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: how to make people care about him. He's just so early. 288 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: That's the best way to describe him, ernest. If you 289 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: don't know what that word means, or you think you know, 290 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: look it up anyway and it'll literally will be a 291 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: picture of Daniel Garcia Swerve Strickland versus Bobby Friggin Lashly 292 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: and this was I thought the most generous outside of 293 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: Adam Page, the most generous match of the night from 294 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: a wrestler. You had to make Bobby look like the strongest, biggest, baddest, 295 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: toughest wrestler in the world. It couldn't be a fifty 296 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: to fifty match. It had to be this is how 297 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: great this dude is. And he's got help from Shelton 298 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: Friggin Benjamin, and he's got help from MVP, top manager 299 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: in the game today. He had to look great, and 300 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: Swerve had to look like he was overmatched and overwhelmed, 301 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: and both men played their parts perfectly. We all picked Bobby. 302 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: Bobby won the match, and Bobby looked great and Swerve 303 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: was left beaten and broken, which he should have been 304 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: in order to make the Hurt Syndicate mean something again. 305 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm talking the philosophy behind the pick. If you love 306 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland and you picked him, I'm sorry. I love 307 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland. Two two time guests on the show think 308 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: he's awesome. This was the right decision, the right outcome, 309 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: the right match. Not sure what's next for Bobby. I 310 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: think they've got to recruit one more since it wasn't Swerve. 311 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 1: I think I mentioned two weeks ago that maybe Hobbs 312 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: Powerhouse Hobbs could be a good addition to that group. 313 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: I still think that, So maybe that's the extra guy 314 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: that they bring in. Yeah. I loved this match. I 315 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: love the way they made Bobby look and I can't 316 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: wait to see what they do next with him. And 317 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: now our main event, John Moxley, the original Werewolf. If 318 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: you listen to this show frequently us you know who 319 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 1: the squosen one Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy. All of us 320 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: picked John Moxley. The philosophy behind it being you can't 321 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: have the death writers not inflicting death and riding away, 322 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: otherwise they're not the Death Writers, and this was very 323 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: similar with Private Party, Like why would you put the 324 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 1: belt on John just to have him lose it right away, 325 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: especially after all the promos he cut, Like those are 326 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: promises and for him to not be able to keep 327 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: any of those promises and to break each and everyone 328 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: would have just been horrible for his character. He had 329 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: to win this match. Orange Cassidy can afford to lose 330 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: because we love Orange, we believe in Orange. He's he's, 331 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, one of us, one of us. It's that 332 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: kind of vibe. But there was no way he could 333 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: climb this mountain. There was just too much outside interference. 334 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: The Death Writers are too much and we were right 335 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: once again. It led to Darby at the end. So 336 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 1: I guess it'll be Darby versus mox next. I may 337 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: pick mox again just because I think this championship needs 338 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: to last a while. But I don't know. I might 339 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,360 Speaker 1: be wrong. Maybe I'll switch. We'll see Moxley won. He's 340 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: the man. Can't wait to see his promo. These shows 341 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: air on Thursdays, so we'll have already seen Dynamite by 342 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: then if you listen to him when they come out, 343 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: and we'll see his response to Darby Allen sort of 344 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: attack there at the end of the match outside, But yeah, 345 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: we went a perfect twenty for twenty. There weren't twenty matches, 346 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: but we were perfect, And if you bet with me, 347 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,920 Speaker 1: you were perfect, just like mister perfect. Throw one hundred 348 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: yard passes and catching them because you don't even need 349 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, throwing up half court shots like Steph 350 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: Curry before Steph Curry was even born, and looking away 351 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 1: like Larry Bird because you know it's cash. That's how 352 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: perfect we were this week. So if we made you money, cool. 353 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: If not, get to betting, don't bet more than you 354 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: wouldn't spend on a night out. That's a good rule 355 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: for gambling, by the way, Like however much dough you have, 356 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: if like sixty bucks, go out, check out a movie, 357 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 1: get some popcorn, get a drink, that kind of thing. 358 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 1: Don't bet more than sixty If you got a little 359 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: more cash and you can drop, you know, two three 360 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: hundred bucks on a nice dinner with your lady, or 361 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: maybe you're taking your friends out and you had a 362 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 1: good week of work and you're picking up the check 363 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: and you're gonna drop two hundred fifty bucks don't bet 364 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: more than two hundred and fifty bucks. That's a good 365 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: way to manage your gambling if you're a gambler. I'm 366 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: not much of a gambler, although in my twenties I was. 367 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I liked a little black jack, but as I got older, 368 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm not much of a gambler. But I think that's 369 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: the right rule. So be responsible if you bet, don't 370 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: bet more than you have, and don't bet more than 371 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: you would spend on a night out. But definitely bet. 372 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: When you listen to Unsanctioned Thursdays and Wrestling with Freddy, 373 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: stay tuned for next week's episode, next Thursday's episode.
