WEBVTT - AEW Full Gear 2024 Did Not Disappoint

0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.240
<v Speaker 1>I love Daniel Garcia, I completely I used to not

0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>like the dance move. I was like, man, I don't

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.239
<v Speaker 1>think he needs that. I feel like he's better than that.

0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>What the fuck do I know? Now I'm sitting there

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>ready to do the dance with him. I just think

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.799
<v Speaker 1>it's awesome. He completely changed me. I was down on

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the babay too when it was in NXT, and now

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying babe all the time. Ladies and gentlemen, are

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>you ready's about to hit the fan? Welcome to on

0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>sanctioned Thursdays? Honestling, what's fready? What's up? Everybody? Welcome to

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>unsanctioned Thursdays. I'm drinking green tea because the house I'm

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.160
<v Speaker 1>in Australia has a weird coffee machine that I don't

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>know how to work, and I got up too early

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to do this show to even go get coffee. So

0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:00.720
<v Speaker 1>we're doing the Asian vibe today, feeling very Japanese, Chinese,

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>very Korean, very Asian in general. I'm going to be

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>very respectful on this episode, very disciplined. I'm going to

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>be make everything perfect the way Japan does. Hopefully you

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>guys like the show. So let's start with some news

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and an update. I told you, guys, I'm a man

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>with a TV deal who doesn't have a promotion. That's

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.199
<v Speaker 1>where I'm at right now. I have a TV deal.

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>How does this happen? How does how do I get

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this back? How do I do everything backwards? I have

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the TV deal in place without the promotion, And again

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't I almost said everything. I can't say too

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>too much. But on the last update I said, we

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>were speaking with somebody and we were talking more about

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>acquisition than than say, creation from scratch, right, something that

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>already exists. Some of you had guessed what those promotions

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>might be. You all guessed wrong. I saw, I saw that.

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw the comments. Everybody was wrong, so ha ha

0:01:55.480 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 1>in your face. The people we were speaking with, I

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>think got a little bit of cold feet. There would

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>have been a lot of travel involved for me too,

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>which would have been tough, but I would have done it.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, that deal is quickly going away into the

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>world of into the void of shows that never got

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to be on TV. I was super bummed. I was

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>in Australia when I got the news. I was on

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.760
<v Speaker 1>set out here. We're doing that. I know what you

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>did last summer movie and Super Bummed, and the girl

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.399
<v Speaker 1>that I was working with, she was like, what's wrong?

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Whole energy just changed. And we had just been talking

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.519
<v Speaker 1>about wrestling because her dad was a wrestling fan. He's

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>from Detroit, Good Wrestling City. Letting her know she knows

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>more than you guys know that the deal I was

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine percent sure was going to fall apart. My

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>boss or my partner I guess in this case, texted

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>me while I was talking to her, and so after

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>we spoke, he said, but what about Boom Boom Boom

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Boom Boom? And he named like four or five other

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>promotions that are looking for TV deals. I said, look,

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm receptive to four of the five that you said.

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 1>There was one there that I felt was trying to

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing that I was trying to do.

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.519
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not going to go in there and step

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>on their toes and be like, well, what you wanted

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:10.680
<v Speaker 1>to do, even though it's the same as what I

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>want to do sucks. We're going to do what I

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>want to do. No, they should be able to chase

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>their own dream and try to pull that off. But

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>there were four other places that they mentioned that are

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>all looking for a TV deal or a new TV deal,

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>one or the other, and he thought they might be

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>receptive to us coming in and talking to them about

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 1>a creative refreshment. And here's a television deal for you.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's the update. That's where we're at. I have

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to start over once again. I'm going to have to

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 1>meet with new people once again. I'm going to have

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>to pitch myself to these promotions once again and earn

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>their trust once again. But hopefully I'll be able to

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>do it. I've been able to do it in the past.

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I've done it. We haven't been told no by anybody

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 1>from what I was bringing to the table. It was

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 1>more a financial thing, which is where the no was

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 1>coming from. But the creative has been cool so far.

0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 1>So I feel confident in that. I have to just

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>remain diligent and stay on the path and not let

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>setbacks get me down. I'm telling you, man, when I

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>first got the text, you get these thoughts in your head, like, well,

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe this isn't what I'm supposed to do. Maybe

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm maybe I'm just supposed to act. Maybe I'm supposed

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>to to stay in my lane, as they say, and

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>all these negative thoughts. Your brain fucking lies to you.

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>It's Thursday. We can cuss. I'm not straight edge. Your

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>brain lies to you. Man. Your heart inspires you, your

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>brain lies to you. Your brain says you can't do it.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Your brain says it's too dangerous. Your brain says it's

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>too risky. Don't ask that girl out. She's just gonna

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>say no. Don't chase your dream, man, You don't have

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>time to do that. Yes, you freaking do, even if

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you have a full time job. You might have to

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>sacrifice some other bullshit in your life, but it's bullshit,

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>so sacrifice it and chase your damn dreams. But everybody,

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody deals with doubt that's created by our minds. My

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>brain lies to me. It has my whole life. It's

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>told me maybe two true things in my life, and

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>those are both guesses on what Christmas presents would be

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>when I was a kid. Other than that, it just lies.

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if yours brain's worked the way I

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>mind does, but that's what my brain does. So I

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 1>was going through a lot of like weird, funky stuff

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and then pulled myself out of it and said, Okay, yeah, fine,

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>if I have to start over. I'll start over again.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't give a shit. This is what I want

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to do, this is what I'm meant to do, this

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>is what I'm going to do. So I'm back on

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the path. I'm working it again. I would love it

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 1>if I could get a deal done for no other

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 1>reason than I can tell you, guys all the places

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that I failed at, all the people who said no,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.280
<v Speaker 1>all the people who were nice, all the people who

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>were jerks. And there was one lady that literally was

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>just like, can we just make it a reality show?

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:41.839
<v Speaker 1>I was like, that's not what what do you mean?

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>You just want me on a reality show? It's a

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>wrestling program. But we'll get into all that. But once

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I finally get a deal, and I will because I

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>believe in the power of positivity. Like Bo Dallas once said,

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>you've got to bow lee real ones know that. Anyway,

0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>let's get into aw fool Year. What a card, what

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a show, what a pay per view? And god damn

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>does it feel good to be right all the time?

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh God, it just feels so amazing. So we're gonna

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>get into it right now. First up, the AEW Tag

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Team Championship four way match, a four way tag match,

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.239
<v Speaker 1>no way Private Party can retain. There's no way Private

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Party can retain right, right, wrong, as Charlie Murphy said, wrong,

0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>He's an habitual line stepper. He was talking about Rick James.

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Private Party was going Jeff. You know, Jeff picked the

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Black throwne he loves the Black Throne, and Alex he

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>also picked the Black Throne. But your boy Freddie picked

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Private Party to win, and everyone was against me. But

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 1>what kind of a title run would it have been.

0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to give you guys the philosophies on my

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>picks here, so you guys can start making picks without

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>my help, and then you don't need me anymore. Then

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.520
<v Speaker 1>you don't need this show. And then we have to

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 1>do on sanctioned Fridays because Thursdays will be canceled. But anyway,

0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't have been much of a run. And it

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 1>really doesn't get your tag team over if as soon

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>as they win it, they lose it. So this had

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a match that Private Party had to win. Otherwise,

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>why did you give them those belts in the first place.

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It would have been a horrible mistake and an absolute

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>waste of everybody's time. That was my philosophy behind picking them,

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and it was proven correct. Fun match. Hard to have

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>eight people in a ring and tell a singular story

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>as far as what everyone wants, but I thought they

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>pulled it off. Not a big fan of four ways,

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>three is the most that I usually like. Still a

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>good match. Private Party wins, But we move on to

0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 1>MJF versus Roderick Strung and the winner was MJF. We

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>all knew this though. This was an easy pick. Everybody

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 1>pick even Jeff got this one right. Jeff, way to

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>go bro. Our producer Alex also picked MJF because he

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>knows what time it is and this was an easy match.

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.679
<v Speaker 1>MJF came out, he looked awesome. Roderick Strong looked awesome.

0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>MJF tried to break his arm. Adam Cole runs out.

0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody loves Adam Cole. Beabey, he came out. Kyle O'Reilly

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>was like, yo, man, what's up with you? Dude? You

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of heal a baby face. Get out of my face.

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>So they'll have some beef in the future. But we

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 1>got to deal with the MJF story first. We all

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>picked them. JF and if you picked MJF. You made

0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>money as well. The ae W TBS Championship match. Just

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>time to talk to the ladies. We have Mercedes Monday

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>versus Chris Statlander. Now look, I've got money, I got

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>mone You know that our producer Alex picked Statlander and

0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Jeff picked Money as well. The philosophy on this one,

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess I didn't explain the philosophy and MJF, but

0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.679
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty easy. The match is Adam Cole and Max,

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>not Adam Colean Rodrick Strung, so that was why I

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:57.760
<v Speaker 1>picked that. But they haven't given Mercedes enough yet. Since

0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>she's been in aw she hasn't been given the story.

0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I think the story was her and Britt Baker, but

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.040
<v Speaker 1>if you believe the backstage stuff, some drama happened that

0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>put that on the on the back burner. If you don't,

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>then maybe Brit got hurt and they just couldn't complete

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that story, so they put Chris in there. Britt I

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>think could have beaten Mercedes. They could have even gone

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>back and forth with it. They're both high level, but

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.360
<v Speaker 1>that didn't happen. So my philosophy was, if that didn't happen,

0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:26.280
<v Speaker 1>they're waiting for that to happen now that she's back,

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 1>and Mercedes has to have the belt to make that

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>mean something. So that was the philosophy on that. Of

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>course I was right because I'm almost always right, and

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 1>this week I was Jay White versus Adam Hangman Page,

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>the man with would you call it a top ten

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>clothes line of all time? His Buckshot Lariot, I don't know.

0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the best is JBL. JBL's got the best clothes

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.319
<v Speaker 1>line ever because it came from hell and everything from

0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Hell is just all awesome. See you and here. Anyway,

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I picked Jay White. The story was he kind of

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>has Hangman's number and he for whatever reason, he's just

0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>able to sneak out wins over Adam Page, and Adam

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>has gotten a victory over him. But it's it's it's

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>been more one sided. I thought that would remain true.

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Page has seemed to be wanting to help other guys

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.160
<v Speaker 1>out and and put other guys over since he came

0:10:30.200 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>back outside of Swerve, which was the right story. I

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.839
<v Speaker 1>love when wrestlers do this. I don't talk a lot

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>of Hangman Page, but what he's been doing in the

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>ring I feel like has been the right thing since

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.200
<v Speaker 1>he came back, his characters kind of off off the off,

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>out of his gourd right now, out of his mind.

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>He's just crazy because of what happened with him and Swerve,

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's really stayed true to that character. When you

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>when you go through the things he's gone through, I

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>think you're more susceptible to mistakes, and that's how he's

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>been losing matches. So I think they've been doing a

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 1>really smart job with it. Yeah, we all picked j

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.679
<v Speaker 1>White or no. Jeff picked Hangman Page because he loves him,

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and he was wrong wrong, you know, Alex and your

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Boyfriddie were ready. Kyle Fletcher, Kyle, I'm in your country

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:17.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, Sydney, Australia, which is where you're from. I

0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>supported you throughout this. I love this country. I love

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.480
<v Speaker 1>this city. I love the food, I love the weather.

0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>It's summertime here, so it's nice and warm. I've got

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>my endless summer. The waves weren't very good while I

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.680
<v Speaker 1>was out here, so no surfing and my family came out.

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>There's also sharks in Australia, which frightened me, even though

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>they're nice ones like nurse sharks things like that. But

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I picked Kyle Fletcher. I knew he was gonna win.

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't build this kid up to beat him.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And they've changed his character. He shaved his head, he's

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>changed his clothes, he's changed his persona. He's willing to

0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>cheat to win and do the don Kallis dirty deeds

0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that are necessary to get these evil victories. And he

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.520
<v Speaker 1>had a loss to Will Ospray when they were both

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:06.640
<v Speaker 1>wrestling under the don Kallis flag. As like this sort

0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.720
<v Speaker 1>of showcase that he would do where he was showing

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>how his wrestlers are better than everyone else's wrestlers. And

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Will won that match. So I thought it was Kyle's turn,

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and I felt really really confident in this pick. Knew

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.840
<v Speaker 1>this match would bring the house down, knew it would

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>steal the show. This was my favorite match of the

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 1>pay per view. This happened two weeks ago. I still

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>remember the match really, really well, even though I've seen

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>a ton of wrestling since then. When Kyle Fletcher got

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the win, Jeff picked Will because he loves Will Ospray.

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Everybody loves Will Ospray. I love Will Ospray, but it

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 1>was not will Osprey's night. It was Kyle Fletcher's night

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and Kyle Fletcher got the win. And if you went

0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>with Alex and Freddie, then you made no. If you didn't,

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>then you got the big no. Moving on ae WTNT

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Championship match, Daniel Garcia Versus formerly known as Jungle Boy,

0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:03.200
<v Speaker 1>almost called him Luke Perry, Jesus christ Freddy Jack Perry.

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>So glad he got rid of the moniker jungle Boy.

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.680
<v Speaker 1>He's a man's man now. This again, this was an

0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>easy pick for me. The Daniel Garcia story was the

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:18.479
<v Speaker 1>ultimate underdog, blue collar. If you're familiar with the Diehard franchise,

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>he's John McClain, right, He's the everyman cop. He's the

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 1>guy that you watch in the movie and you go, yeah,

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I would do the same thing. If terrorists tried to

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>take over my workplace, I'd be the one that saves

0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:35.319
<v Speaker 1>the day. Who That's who Daniel Garcia is. I always

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>almost call him Ryan Garcia. He's way cooler than Ryan Garcia.

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:42.439
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, this was the story. This was the match

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that I think the fans probably cared about the most

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 1>because they're so behind Daniel right now, and they give

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 1>him this great segment where he's like listening to a

0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>message from his mom on his voicemail that his mom

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>left him reminding him of how she raised him. But

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:00.320
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I thought

0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it was beautiful. I loved this story. I love Daniel Garcia.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm completely I used to not like the dance move.

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>I was like, man, I don't think he needs that.

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's better than that. What the fuck

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.080
<v Speaker 1>do I know? Now I'm sitting there ready to do

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the dance with him. I just think it's awesome. He

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.000
<v Speaker 1>completely changed me. I was down on the babay too

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 1>when it was in NXT, and now I'm saying babe

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.720
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So when wrestlers do great things, my

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 1>opinions change, and I like it when I'm wrong. I'm

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>not wrong on my picks, though, Baby, because Daniel Garcia

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>won and he is your new TNT champion, I can't

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>wait to see where they go with this. Babyfaces usually

0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>don't get to hold mid titles as long as heel

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>champions do because it's more fun to watch the faces

0:14:44.440 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>chase the heel and it's not representative of the company

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>because it's not the main championship. So I feel like

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that's usually more of a heel thing, but it'll be

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>a fun run. Daniel's really really good on the mic,

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and he's great in the ring, and he really knows

0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 1>how to make people care about him. He's just so early.

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>That's the best way to describe him, ernest. If you

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know what that word means, or you think you know,

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>look it up anyway and it'll literally will be a

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:23.280
<v Speaker 1>picture of Daniel Garcia Swerve Strickland versus Bobby Friggin Lashly

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and this was I thought the most generous outside of

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Adam Page, the most generous match of the night from

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>a wrestler. You had to make Bobby look like the strongest, biggest, baddest,

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 1>toughest wrestler in the world. It couldn't be a fifty

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to fifty match. It had to be this is how

0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:48.320
<v Speaker 1>great this dude is. And he's got help from Shelton

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Friggin Benjamin, and he's got help from MVP, top manager

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.800
<v Speaker 1>in the game today. He had to look great, and

0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 1>Swerve had to look like he was overmatched and overwhelmed,

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and both men played their parts perfectly. We all picked Bobby.

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Bobby won the match, and Bobby looked great and Swerve

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>was left beaten and broken, which he should have been

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 1>in order to make the Hurt Syndicate mean something again.

0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking the philosophy behind the pick. If you love

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Swerve Strickland and you picked him, I'm sorry. I love

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Swerve Strickland. Two two time guests on the show think

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>he's awesome. This was the right decision, the right outcome,

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the right match. Not sure what's next for Bobby. I

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 1>think they've got to recruit one more since it wasn't Swerve.

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I think I mentioned two weeks ago that maybe Hobbs

0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Powerhouse Hobbs could be a good addition to that group.

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I still think that, So maybe that's the extra guy

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that they bring in. Yeah. I loved this match. I

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.240
<v Speaker 1>love the way they made Bobby look and I can't

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 1>wait to see what they do next with him. And

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>now our main event, John Moxley, the original Werewolf. If

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you listen to this show frequently us you know who

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the squosen one Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy. All of us

0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:11.240
<v Speaker 1>picked John Moxley. The philosophy behind it being you can't

0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:15.119
<v Speaker 1>have the death writers not inflicting death and riding away,

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:17.959
<v Speaker 1>otherwise they're not the Death Writers, and this was very

0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:20.199
<v Speaker 1>similar with Private Party, Like why would you put the

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.399
<v Speaker 1>belt on John just to have him lose it right away,

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>especially after all the promos he cut, Like those are

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.440
<v Speaker 1>promises and for him to not be able to keep

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 1>any of those promises and to break each and everyone

0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.600
<v Speaker 1>would have just been horrible for his character. He had

0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>to win this match. Orange Cassidy can afford to lose

0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>because we love Orange, we believe in Orange. He's he's,

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, one of us, one of us. It's that

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of vibe. But there was no way he could

0:17:46.760 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 1>climb this mountain. There was just too much outside interference.

0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>The Death Writers are too much and we were right

0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.560
<v Speaker 1>once again. It led to Darby at the end. So

0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess it'll be Darby versus mox next. I may

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.919
<v Speaker 1>pick mox again just because I think this championship needs

0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to last a while. But I don't know. I might

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.360
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. Maybe I'll switch. We'll see Moxley won. He's

0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the man. Can't wait to see his promo. These shows

0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 1>air on Thursdays, so we'll have already seen Dynamite by

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>then if you listen to him when they come out,

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.119
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see his response to Darby Allen sort of

0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:21.280
<v Speaker 1>attack there at the end of the match outside, But yeah,

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>we went a perfect twenty for twenty. There weren't twenty matches,

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.040
<v Speaker 1>but we were perfect, And if you bet with me,

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>you were perfect, just like mister perfect. Throw one hundred

0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>yard passes and catching them because you don't even need

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>a wide receiver, throwing up half court shots like Steph

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Curry before Steph Curry was even born, and looking away

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.800
<v Speaker 1>like Larry Bird because you know it's cash. That's how

0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.800
<v Speaker 1>perfect we were this week. So if we made you money, cool.

0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 1>If not, get to betting, don't bet more than you

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't spend on a night out. That's a good rule

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>for gambling, by the way, Like however much dough you have,

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>if like sixty bucks, go out, check out a movie,

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.719
<v Speaker 1>get some popcorn, get a drink, that kind of thing.

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't bet more than sixty If you got a little

0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 1>more cash and you can drop, you know, two three

0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred bucks on a nice dinner with your lady, or

0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're taking your friends out and you had a

0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 1>good week of work and you're picking up the check

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna drop two hundred fifty bucks don't bet

0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.600
<v Speaker 1>more than two hundred and fifty bucks. That's a good

0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>way to manage your gambling if you're a gambler. I'm

0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>not much of a gambler, although in my twenties I was.

0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I liked a little black jack, but as I got older,

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not much of a gambler. But I think that's

0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>the right rule. So be responsible if you bet, don't

0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>bet more than you have, and don't bet more than

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>you would spend on a night out. But definitely bet.

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.200

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I just don't like announcing things before they're done, because
