Speaker 3: How are you?

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: It's good to see you. I've missed you.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 4: I've missed the listeners, the comments, the ex posts. Are

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 4: they called tweets anymore? I don't know the ex posts.

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 4: I think it's time we hit them with.

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: A Finally, Freddy has come back to the rest.

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 4: All right, man, people, have been missing your jakes and

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 4: missing your commentary, and missing your inside scoop on this stuff,

26
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: and I've missed listening to it and getting to see you.

27
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: It's good to be back. Have you been. I'm one

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty days clean? How about that.

29
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: Sober Jeff Brother one sixty or an absolute stud I

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: am still on vacation, but I love wrestling so much

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: that we're talking wrestling even when I'm on vacation, and

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: we're gonna get right into it, and the show's going

33
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: to be a little bit different. I used to give

34
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: you guys some play by plays to kind of catch

35
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: you up on the shows you missed, but we're not

36
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: doing that anymore because you're already watching the shows. You

37
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: already like wrestling. You don't need my Howard co Sell impression.

38
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna talk storylines, what we think is

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: going on, what we want to happen. I like to too,

40
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: but we're evolving, We're evolving, and we're going to get

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: into it now. I would like to start the show

42
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: with our quick predictions. These are just us flying through

43
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: the predictions, and then we'll touch back on the storylines

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: that we think have hit really hard, whether they're A

45
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: stories or B stories, and it's going to start right now.

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: Let's get some sick prediction music and make our producer

47
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: work even harder. Maybe we get a little prediction music

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: in the background, and if it's quiet, that means he

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: basically gave us the middle finger.

50
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: You guys, I never.

51
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Feel bad about making them work.

52
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 3: You know that's right? No, you shouldn't.

53
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, La Night versus AJ Styles.

54
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: I'm taking La Knight, Jeff, who you got?

55
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 4: I'm taking La Knight. Although we should point out that

56
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: AJ Styles is looking jacked lately.

57
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on.

58
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: He's super jack, but I pick La Knight always will

59
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: always when I grow up, I'm gonna look like AJ Styles,

60
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: all right.

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: The Intercontinental Championship, which has been a fun story. Goonther

62
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: the Champion versus Sammy Zain. Am I gonna go crazy

63
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: and go Sammy Zay? Do I have the guts to

64
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: predict first?

65
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: No?

66
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: I do not. Jeff, you go ahead and predict.

67
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: For I'm taking the formerly fat by Goonther. That's my guy.

68
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: I love him.

69
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 4: I love the story, love the journey, love the look.

70
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 4: I'm going for goother retains.

71
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: I think you're right, but the storyline suckered me in,

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: and I'm going for the underdog who just needs to

73
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: get his mental right, like Chad Gable, said Sammy zaying,

74
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: Next up is the United States Championship Logan Paul and

75
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: his sweet red Corvette versus Randy Orton versus Kevin Owens.

76
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if the Corvette's allowed in the match

77
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: or not, but I am taking Logan Paul to retain

78
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: the US Championship.

79
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: Sir, how about you?

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I am definitely taking Logan Paul.

81
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: I mean, there's nothing bigger in the news right now

82
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: in sports entertainment as the other sports are getting closer

83
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: to blur that line between fake and real with his

84
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: brother fighting Mike Tyson. So I think you got to

85
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 4: keep the strap on the Paul brother Logan. I'm a

86
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 4: big fan, and so I not only want Logan to retain,

87
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 4: but I believe that he also Jeff.

88
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: This next match is even more deadlier than if you

89
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: and I wrestled because it's brother versus brother, Jay whoso

90
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: versus Jimmy Whoso?

91
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: Who you got winning this match?

92
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: All right? This?

93
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: I am picking big events, Jam, So I think you

94
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: gotta go with Jay. I also think it's gonna be

95
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 4: very confusing. I hope they dress different. This is that's

96
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 4: the risk you take when you have twins fight each other.

97
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: You don't know who's who, and so you know it's

98
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: gonna be very tricky to watch. Hopefully they dress different.

99
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: I picked Jay.

100
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,119
Speaker 1: You could even hit yourself, all right. I am gonna

101
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: go the other way on this. Jimmy has Jimmy has

102
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: been eating too much crap for the last few weeks.

103
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: He's been in heel purgatory, and I think this is

104
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: the time where he's gonna shine and it's gonna have to,

105
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, kind of lengthen this rivalry out. So I'm

106
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: going with Jimmy. Next up the undisputed WWE Tag Team

107
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: Championships The Judgment Day. Who are the Champions versus d

108
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: I Y sometimes known as New d X versus The

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: New Day versus Awesome Truth versus a Town Down versus

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: New Catch Republic in a six pack ladder match. I

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: I am not taking the Judgment Day to retain. I

112
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: think we're going to go across the pond, and I

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: think the New Catch Republic can pull off a win.

114
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 4: There's no way you think that that's really what's gonna happen.

115
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: I think it's look is it the dark horse? Yes,

116
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: But I do think they're going to give these boys

117
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: a chance on SmackDown to kind of get over. And

118
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: the tag team titles aren't necessary for Judgment Day in

119
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: order for Judgment Day to be cool. So I think

120
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: they want to try to give some new people a chance,

121
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: and I'm sticking with New Ketch Republic. But I appreciate

122
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: you giving me an out, I will.

123
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 4: Say, Freddie, I'm checking Vegas right here. Okay, if you're

124
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: not watching this and just listening, I am clicking on

125
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: my phone here checking the Vegas odds. The Vegas odds

126
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 4: of New Catch Republic winning, Uh, give seventy billion to one.

127
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: So I think that you would be very rich, not good.

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 3: I think a hundred down on it.

129
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be more rich, Freddie. I'm gonna pick New Day.

130
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 4: I'm gonna pick the time.

131
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: To bring that back.

132
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: They've been pretty quiet these last few years as far

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: as the things have been going. It seems like maybe

134
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 4: the people have forgotten that they're the greatest tag team

135
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 4: and stable, if you will, in in the modern era

136
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 4: and it's time that they get their come up, and

137
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: I think that we're gonna see a whole new storyline,

138
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 4: a whole new push for the.

139
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: New Day again.

140
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: I hope.

141
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 2: I think that's my that's my prayer.

142
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: Well, now it's time for the big dogs, the WWE

143
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: Women's Championship. Eo Sky the champion versus her former friend

144
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: Bailey Jeff. Who's gonna win this match?

145
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 4: I think Eosky is gonna win this match, but I

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: think we're gonna see a whole lot of shenanigans.

147
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: But I do think at the end.

148
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: Eosky is who will retain the strap as they call

149
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 4: it in wrestling.

150
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the other way, I'm gonna say. Bailey

151
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: finally gets her WrestleMania moment she wins her singles match,

152
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: she becomes the women's Champion. Speaking of women's champions, our

153
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: favorite women's champion, ladies and gentlemen, The Women's World Champion,

154
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Ria Ripley versus the Irish Last Kicker, Becky Lynch, the

155
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: former champion. Look, it's Ria Ripley all day. This show

156
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: has loved her since day one. The show will love

157
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: her till day one million. Ria Ripley all day long

158
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: to retain the championship.

159
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: Jeff, what are you saying?

160
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: I love this match because, as you know, we love

161
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 4: both of these wrestlers, and we love Ria. You just

162
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 4: said it. I don't know why I'm railing, right, but

163
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: we'll always love Ria. She's a star, She's an actual star.

164
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 4: But I think Ria Ripley is going to win, and

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: Becky's gonna put her over to make her even bigger

166
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 4: of a star than she.

167
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: Alreadians Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins versus The Rock and

168
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns. This is the easiest call of the night.

169
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: It's the Rock and Roman Reigns that's gonna win this Wise,

170
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: there's no bloodline in the main event the next day.

171
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: If you want to get eight billion to one odds,

172
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: you can go the other way and do your own

173
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: new catch version. But I'm pretty sure we agree on

174
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: this one.

175
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is all day bloodline. There's zero chance they

176
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: don't The Rock and Roman. The Rock and Roman don't lose. Ever,

177
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: now you're gonna put them together. They're gonna win. There's gonna,

178
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: there's gonna there's just no way your your TV will

179
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 4: break before those guys lose.

180
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: Now before we do Roman Cody, because I think that's

181
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: the main main one, Let's switch to the World Heavyweight

182
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: Championship Seth Rollins versus Drew McIntyre. If you believe the

183
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: Internet and the injury reports and things like that, you

184
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: may think you know which way it's going. However, Seth

185
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: Rollins is pretty tough dude and may have said, screw surgery.

186
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just rehab and that's why he hasn't been

187
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: wrestling too much and he could be healthy. And because

188
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: of that, I am going to go with Drew McIntyre.

189
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: Interesting, Yeah, I'm also going to pick Drew McIntyre. And

190
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 4: I think that this is and I don't know how

191
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 4: contracts work. I don't know how this stuff works, but

192
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 4: I think that this is the way of being like, look, Drew,

193
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 4: stay with us, stay in w Did you already sign

194
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 4: a contract?

195
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: Does that happened?

196
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: I don't know.

197
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: I think I've the last I heard. It's still it's

198
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: still floating in the ether.

199
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: Okay, well, I'm still eight year old Jeff who doesn't

200
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 4: know a lot about the contracts and those kind of things.

201
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,599
Speaker 2: I don't look into that. I just love wrestling and

202
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 2: watch hustling.

203
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: I don't know about that stuff, but I think this

204
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: might be a way that they go we love you here, Drew,

205
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: don't leave us, don't go over to all the other

206
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: things is stay. So I think that this is the

207
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: I think that he wins. I think Drew Beatss.

208
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: The main event, the end of the line, the finished

209
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: story Cody Roads versus Roman Reigns, and based off our

210
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: prediction of the tag match, it'll be Cody Roads versus

211
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns versus the Bloodline versus probably a new guy

212
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: that's coming in as well. It's gonna be a lot

213
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: of Samoans that don't like Cody, and I'm picking Cody

214
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: Rhoads to climb to the top of the mountain and

215
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: stand there, not like Moses, but just as powerful as Moses.

216
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 4: When we talk about the bloodline of Roman Reigns, the Rock,

217
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 4: or any of the.

218
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: Bloodline, one thing we know is Solo Siko is not

219
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 2: going to win.

220
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 3: Last win my Man Gout was against John Cena.

221
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: But I think for this match, Roman Reigns crushes Cody Roads.

222
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: Okay, well, then based off that, let's go right into

223
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: that storyline, which is the a storyline of both brands.

224
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: It's been floating from raw to a SmackDown, and that's

225
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: will Cody Roads be able to finish his story. And

226
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: while we were gone, The Rock decided, Hey, there's going

227
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: to be Anazi strike and there's no movies getting made,

228
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: so I'm going back to professional wrestling. And ever since

229
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: he has come back, it's the only good thing that

230
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: a potential strike could bring was The Rock, and it

231
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: has been a really damn good story, don't I don't

232
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,479
Speaker 1: want to say it's better than the Sami's Ain bloodline

233
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: storyline because it's so different. It's hard to compare the two.

234
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: It's like comparing dessert to dinner. So but I will

235
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: say I will say this, since he's come back, whether

236
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the crowd has booed him or cheered him or changed

237
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: their mind in the middle of his promo, it has

238
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: been awesome since Dwayne the Rock Johnson returned to professional wrestling.

239
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: And the stuff that he has done to Cody makes

240
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: me think that your prediction can't be right because he

241
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: beat Cody's ass so bad. He's doing all this stuff

242
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: for what to get Roman over more. I can't imagine that.

243
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: I feel like all this stuff has to be the

244
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: ultimate obstacles put in place in order for Cody to

245
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: overcome them and reach the top of the mountain. If

246
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: he doesn't, if you're right, he becomes forgive me for

247
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: going Greek mythology here, but he becomes Sisyphis. Sisyphus was

248
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: cursed by the gods to roll this boulder up a mountain,

249
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: only for it to roll all the way back down.

250
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: And he couldn't break this curse until he got the

251
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: boulder to the top of the mountain, but the curse

252
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't let him do it, so for all eternity, he

253
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: just would roll this rock up and at some point

254
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 1: on the way up it would go all the way

255
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: back down to the bottom.

256
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: Sisyphis.

257
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: We also used the short the short nickname Sissy and

258
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: Cody ain't no sissy and Cody ain't no punk. And

259
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: I like that Min can cry on television. I like

260
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: that this old school thing of min don't cry, do

261
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: this and be tough. That's what gives men heart attacks

262
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: and makes us die seven years earlier than women. And

263
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to live, and I want to see Cody

264
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: live a long life too, So I like that he's

265
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: been able to show emotion and be honest there. And

266
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: I think with all that he's laid down on the

267
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: line and everything that's happened to him, if they did

268
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: him wrong and made him lose this match, I'll tell

269
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: you what I think is gonna happen.

270
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: You want to know what I think is going to happen.

271
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: You didn't see him punk me. That was nice. Remember

272
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: when Seth Rollins was like, you know what I think, Nope,

273
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: that's dirty. Anyway, it was really funny. Though.

274
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: I think the first night, the Bloodline wins, and that

275
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: means that there can be complete interference in the main event.

276
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: And I think in the main event there will be

277
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: interference from The Rock and from Solo, and from maybe

278
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: even Jimmy Husso and maybe even a new guy, this

279
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: dude that WW has been wanting to sign. I think

280
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: Stams Tanka. I think he might even be introduced. But

281
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: I think The Rock is going to turn on Roman

282
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Reigns on the second night. I think it's all been

283
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: a ruse. I think they planned it on the phone

284
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: call when they first spoke as far as storyline goes,

285
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: and I think The Rock is gonna help Cody the

286
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: second night to win the WW Championship, and then that

287
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: takes us to the Rock versus Roman reigns.

288
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 2: At SummerSlam to see who that of a table can

289
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: finally be.

290
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: I think that's what they're gonna do. I'm usually wrong

291
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: on this stuff, but I kind of hope I'm right

292
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: this time. Do you believe any of what I just said?

293
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Yeah, I do.

294
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 4: I do, Blue, I think, and I think you know

295
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 4: way more about this stuff than I do. But I,

296
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: like I said, said eight year old Jeff, going, here's

297
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 4: wrestling with my toys, going, here's what I think. This

298
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 4: is what I thinks.

299
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: Are behind you. By the way, you really have.

300
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 4: What is Greek mythology without Sisyphis Freddy Sisyphis is part

301
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 4: of it. You've got the other gods, and you have Sisyphis,

302
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 4: and you've got the other gods, the rock Drumacintyre AJ style,

303
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 4: you got all the other people climbing to be gods.

304
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 4: And that is what Cody Rhodes is. He is Sisyphis

305
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: who will later have his godlike moment. I don't think

306
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: Cody Rhoads is doomed to be Sisyphis forever, but I

307
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 4: think that that is just hard times.

308
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: Baby, It's been hard times for two years, though.

309
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 4: Let me tell you that Sisyphis did hard times forever.

310
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 2: Baby.

311
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 4: I think if if Cody Rhoads loses, then when the

312
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: Rock is versus Roman reigns, it's for just more than

313
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: the head of the table. You know, there's a belt

314
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 4: on the line. I don't know, I just I feel

315
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 4: like the but that's why.

316
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: They're going that way. I would like to have a conversation.

317
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: With you if you're interested in what you think about

318
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 4: the Rock just dropping F bomb after f bomb after

319
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 4: f bomb and then spinning it like, oh, well, I

320
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: don't care about this censorship. They can't censor me. Oh,

321
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, that's what comics do. Like corny comics like

322
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: me like to go I push the boundaries because I

323
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: can't be censored. But like, bro, you're being censored by network.

324
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: The television is what's making you. It's not like your

325
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: First Amendment rights. This television is saying please don't say

326
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: the F word a bunch, and then all the other

327
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: wrestlers have to follow those rules, and he's the only

328
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 4: one that gets to break the rules.

329
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 2: It seems. I'd love to know what you think about that.

330
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: I equated to a football team, right, Like, the same

331
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: rules apply to everyone based on your talent and right,

332
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: That's why quarterbacks get treated differently. That's why the star

333
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: players get away with more. That's why Russell Willlson had

334
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: two offices before a new coach came in and was like, wait,

335
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: you have your own parking space and you're double like, no,

336
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: you don't have any of that. I think people get

337
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: treated differently based on what the company feels they bring

338
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: to the table, and I think the rock is allowed

339
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: to do whatever he wants, fair or not. The wrestling

340
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: business has never been fair. The way show business treats actors,

341
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: I promise is not equal. I've experienced it. You've experienced it,

342
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, is it fair?

343
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: No?

344
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: But does everyone but MJF get to say F bombs too?

345
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 4: No?

346
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: MJF dropped an F bomb and it became like the biggest,

347
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: one of the biggest promos of the year a couple

348
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: of years ago. They even called it the pipe bomb promo.

349
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, man, I think as long as you're willing

350
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: to get bleeped and as long as your company is

351
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: willing to pay the fines, then it's okay.

352
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: It's okay. But there are fines.

353
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: They're just a multi billion dollar company, so they're like, oh, yeah,

354
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: we're real Sorry, here's the fine. It's like Grandy Orton

355
00:16:58,440 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: pre paying fines.

356
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 4: Don't mind the Rock doing it, Like I don't. It

357
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 4: doesn't bother me. And and also I totally agree with

358
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 4: you that, like, yeah, there's different rules for different people.

359
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: That's just how it works.

360
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 4: Like there's a difference between me going over my time

361
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 4: and burning the light at the laugh Factory and Dave

362
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: Chappelle burning the light at the.

363
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: There's a big difference. We can we can see the differences.

364
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 4: So there might be guys like me complaining in the

365
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: green room about guys like Dave Chappelle for this analogy,

366
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: And so I get that, like maybe the wrestlers are

367
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: going he gets to say the F word and we don't.

368
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: That's not what I'm saying that that is, that's like whatever,

369
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: But I don't think that the like it. It seems

370
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: like the Rock gets to seem like he's so badass

371
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: for saying the F word. I like, there if we're

372
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 4: having conversations every three months.

373
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: But that's character, that's all.

374
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: Don't we have.

375
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 4: Conversations like every three months in the wrestling world of

376
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 4: like blood or no blood, or what's inappropriate for kids

377
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 4: and what's not and cleavage and butts and and uh,

378
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 4: you know, like what like what is a appropriate? You know,

379
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: like DX was much less a pope appropriate than the

380
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 4: Heart Foundation. So there's always these conversations about what is

381
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: And so now we're in a place where like, oh,

382
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 4: we're doing all these things that are appropriate, and then

383
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 4: the Rock just comes in and goes, fuck that. You'll

384
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: believe this fucking just f f FF, and I'm gone.

385
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 4: I could see that it isn't about the ladder, about

386
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: who is and who isn't as much of it is

387
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 4: about like he's just breaking the rule of what the

388
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 4: what we've decided is appropriate in wrestling currently. It seems

389
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, maybe I'm making too much of it.

390
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: I will say this, His f bombs don't come until

391
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: the final hour, which so less kids as far as demographics,

392
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: are watching the final out the third hour of Raw.

393
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: They watched the first hour of Raw into the second.

394
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's the that's the first thing. Secondly,

395
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: none of this is going without an approval, like none

396
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: of this every the Sam Roberts says, everything counts or

397
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: everything matters. I think he says, and that that's all

398
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: this is, like, this is all pre planned, This has

399
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: all been approved, This has all been okayed by somebody

400
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: up the line. And maybe it's the Rock simply saying, hey,

401
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm okay in this, I'm approving this, I'm on the board.

402
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: But even that's a bit of a character. Even though

403
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: he is on the board, that's still a bit of

404
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: a character. Triple H is in charge, Triple H is

405
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: writing these stories. Triple H is the one okay and

406
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: everything are saying no, you can't do this'. He's the

407
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: reason the show's been so damn good. So if you're

408
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: not getting the okay through creative, it's not happening. Is

409
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: the Rock a strong part of creative?

410
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: Sure?

411
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 1: Is he probably approving some of this stuff? Yeah, but

412
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: I guarantee you everyone's on board except people that are jealous.

413
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: They can't say it because you know there's people who go, well,

414
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: if I could drop an F bomb, I could say

415
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: a sick promo too.

416
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 3: Those people exist, but that's life.

417
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Like if I talk trash about another actor, I could

418
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: get blacklisted. If George Clooney did it, they'd be like yeah,

419
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: that guy's like, not George, the guy he's talking about.

420
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 1: They'd be like, oh, I agree with George, but if

421
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: I do it, they'd be like, oh god, it's a

422
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: jerk man, He's just jel Yeah. So I think that's

423
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: the world we fall in, which is show business has

424
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: different rules. Yep, that's life actually, not just show business.

425
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: But you're right, I agree. Well, yeah, you're right. You're right.

426
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: We won't have time to cover every story, but I

427
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely want to cover the Seth Drew thing because I

428
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of a debate there on well,

429
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: set is Seth not healthy enough to be champed right now?

430
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: Is he going to have a surgery? But I think

431
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: they've done a really good job with the A stories

432
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: and the B stories from the LWO versus Legado, which

433
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: I think has become a real compelling storyline. It's not

434
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: an A story, but neither is aj and La Night.

435
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: Let's talk first then about the Intercontinental Championship, which is

436
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: probably the most of the bast stories. Gnther is the

437
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: man like this guy. He didn't get handed anything, or

438
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: he got handed the belt, but what he did with

439
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: the belt was elevate the Intercontinental Championship to the point

440
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: where I don't even think he necessarily needs it anymore.

441
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: You can start to push him towards larger things if

442
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: that's something you want. However, his work in the ring.

443
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: Is not.

444
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't remind me of WWE matches. It almost reminds

445
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: me of AEW matches with it's with the amount of

446
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: chop that he'll do in a match. His power wrestling

447
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: almost looks like I'm watching a Japanese match. Sometimes I've

448
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: been watching some Japanese wrestling over our hiatus.

449
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 3: And those fools.

450
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: Those fools hit so hard, but it looks like a

451
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: gunther match. And then there's Sammy's Ain, which is the

452
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: John McClain from Diehard of the WWE. He's the guy

453
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: that everyone can relate to. He's the reason when average

454
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: guys go, oh if I was in Diehard out or

455
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: done the same thing out of fun all seventeen terrorists,

456
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: It's like, Sammy's Ain is that guy. He is John McClain.

457
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: He is the everyman. I love him so so much,

458
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: and his story has been one where this dude, Chad Gable,

459
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, is a legit

460
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: like amateur wrestler, super super duper good. The fans really

461
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: like him. The company's never given him a big push,

462
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: but he had a great match with Gunther and he's

463
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: been talking to Sammy over the last few weeks because

464
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: he told Sammy to his face, you can't beat him,

465
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: and that's the story. You can't beat him. I don't

466
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: believe in you. If I don't believe in you, you're

467
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: not gonna believe in you. And you see Sammy, he's

468
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: a good actor man. You see these seeds of doubt

469
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 1: in his head and you see him finally come to

470
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: Chad after a couple weeks of TV and he goes, Okay,

471
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 1: what what do I have to do? This guy's in

472
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: my head. I can't get him out. What do I

473
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: have to do? And Chad becomes this like mentor and

474
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: not in the goofy comedy Alpha Team Way or Team Alpha,

475
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: whatever the name of his club is. It's not like

476
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: that where he's like thank you. This has been a

477
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: serious like yo, you're in a fight. And it was

478
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: almost like Apollo Creed in Rocky, you know what I mean?

479
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: Like if what's wrong with you?

480
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 3: Man?

481
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: If you don't do this, you're going to get killed

482
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: out there, like it's almost been that kind of a story.

483
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: And Sammy's aying is maybe the better comparison than John

484
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: McLain is Rocky because he represents so much of that

485
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: minus the punching is But I love this dude so much.

486
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: His work so clean, his mic works so clean, and

487
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: he's made me believe he's gonna win this match. I

488
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: know you don't believe it.

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: You know, maybe you're forgetting last season, I came around

490
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 4: on Sammy's Ain when the world came around the I'm

491
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: like the masses, you know, like I was hater hater

492
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: till I wasn't. I really like Sammy's Ain. I do

493
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 4: really love Gunther. I feel like they're similar in the

494
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 4: fashion of, you know, they're not your prototypical wrestler. They

495
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 4: feel like a prototypical wrestling fan who's become wrestler. Like

496
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: I think they're more us than they are them. That's

497
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 4: why I like both of them, and I'm a big fan.

498
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 4: But I am afraid that Sammy's Ain's biggest pop might

499
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: be behind him. I don't know, like I don't see

500
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 4: him doing better than what he did in the Bloodline

501
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 4: instead of it's like instead of the bloodline being evidence

502
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 4: of what he's capable of. I think that that was

503
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: his masterpiece. Feel I feel like we're kind of like

504
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 4: that was That is what I'm afraid of. I'd like

505
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 4: to be wrong on this, but I don't really. He's

506
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: had so many different chapters in his in his career,

507
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 4: and so hopefully he can reinvent himself again.

508
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 2: I don't know.

509
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: It's been exciting to watch, but it hasn't. It feels

510
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 4: like just another thing where I'm waiting to get to

511
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 4: the next story.

512
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: Let me offer you a wager, A steak dinner wager.

513
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 2: I like this.

514
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: I bet you that Sammy's Ain is the WWE World

515
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: Champion in.

516
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 3: Five years or less.

517
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: I'll take that bet.

518
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that's a bet digital handshake. Since we're far

519
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: away from everyone heard it, you all saw it.

520
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 4: I hope you like outback steakhouse, Sammy's Zain will be

521
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 4: wearing the strap and I'll be spending about thirty dollars

522
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: on our dinner.

523
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe swallowed by It's bit and joked that.

524
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: Five years agough, that's a long time.

525
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: But I know, dude, I think he's got another Yeah, well,

526
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got another decade in this business before

527
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: the father time starts saying, oh.

528
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 3: Why are you still doing this?

529
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: And I think he's so talented on the mic that

530
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: there is I think Hunter sees a lot in him.

531
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot there for him. There's just

532
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: not opportunity right now because the story is Cody or

533
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: the story is Drew. But I don't think he'll be

534
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the World Heavyweight Champion, although he could be. I think

535
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: he'll be the WWE Universal Champion within five years. All right,

536
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: let's move to the next story. La Knight versus AJ Styles.

537
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: This is a trickier one for me because I think

538
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: La Knight is an A story only guy and he's

539
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: in a B story right now with AJ Styles. I

540
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: will say this, though, you can't get too mad at it,

541
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: because there's only so much room on the card. There's

542
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: only so many hours of television. There's only so many

543
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: opportunities for these guys to have big time stories. So

544
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: for that, I think they're trying to say, hey man,

545
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: we're giving you something for WrestleMania here. You know, hold tight,

546
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: stay patient, we got a plan for you. We can

547
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: only push so many guys at once. La Knight sort

548
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: of pushes himself. He doesn't really needed the company, which

549
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: is what's so amazing about La Night. So when I

550
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: first saw the story in the match, I was I

551
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: was kind of like, ah, man, he deserves bigger, not better,

552
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: but bigger because aj Styles is great, his work in

553
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: the ring is phenomenal, and so for that it's good.

554
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: But I just I want more for La Knight because

555
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: I feel like the older guys are on a clock.

556
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: I know he hasn't taken as much damage, maybe because

557
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: he wasn't working the three hundred and forty days a

558
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: year the WW guys work his whole career, but the

559
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: older guys, to me, are always on a clock. I'm

560
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: forty eight years old. I feel like I'm on a

561
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: damn clock sometimes. So I just want I want great

562
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: things for La Night, not good things, great things. I

563
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,399
Speaker 1: know they gave him a little with Saudi Arabia and

564
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: he got screwed by the bloodline like everybody he does.

565
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: But I just when I first heard the match, I

566
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: was like, man, I wish he was I wish he

567
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: was in an a story. However, this is still a

568
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: WrestleMania opportunity, and those two I think are going to

569
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: make the most of it and give a super duper

570
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: good match.

571
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 3: What about you, dude?

572
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: I agree?

573
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: I think La I am the La Knight of stand

574
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: up comedy. You know, you go, hey, I think this

575
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 4: guy's got something real special. And then you're like, you know,

576
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 4: he's been around for a while, and everyone's like, what,

577
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 4: he's not new?

578
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: You know, I love this thing.

579
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 2: You see the age, you look at the numbers, you go,

580
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: what's going on? I just noticed him. I just noticed

581
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: this guy.

582
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 4: So for that reason, like I really like him and

583
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 4: identify with him, and I hope that he gets a

584
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 4: lot soon because I think that, like, if he's going

585
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: to overlap his career and story with what other wrestlers

586
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: have done. As huge as he is and as great

587
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 4: as he is and as talented as he is, he's

588
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 4: not as far along as maybe the other wrestlers were

589
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 4: or when they were his age.

590
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: So I want a lot to happen for him soon.

591
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 4: So every time a guy gets you know, screwed in

592
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: a way, or he gets over looked or loses heat

593
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 4: or doesn't get put over, I think it's okay.

594
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: You know, they got time, like there's it's okay.

595
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 4: But whenever it happens to La Night, I get like

596
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 4: really anxious, like I don't know, like I wanted this

597
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 4: to be it. I'm like a lot of fans where

598
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 4: I want to see him blow up like I want it.

599
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 4: I want it now. I'm pushing it, you know. I

600
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: feel like that big fan of La Night. I'm in

601
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 4: his corner and I want it. I want him to

602
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 4: succeed and have all the success now. I don't want

603
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: a Sammy z Ain to be getting a strap. He've

604
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 4: been around a long time, had a lot of shots.

605
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 4: I want the La Knight to be a main face,

606
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: the next face.

607
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: All right, Last, but certainly not least, Seth Rollins the

608
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: World Heavyweight Champion versus Drew McIntyre. This match was originally

609
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: supposed to be CM Punk versus Seth Rollins, but Drew

610
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: McIntyre ripped his arm off his body and tore his

611
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: peck and his biceps or whatever he did in the

612
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: Royal Rumble, and Drew McIntyre laughs about it and jokes

613
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: about it every week.

614
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 3: Ha ha ha uh beat you, old man. He got the match.

615
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: I've been really impressed with Drew. He's been trolling the crowd,

616
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: he's been even when they see him Punk chanting, he

617
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: like goes off script and is like, oh, yeah, you

618
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: missed that guy, I'm the one that did it. Yeah,

619
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: keep booing like he's he's been playing with the crowd.

620
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: And that's not an easy thing to do. That can

621
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: lose a segment real quick. All the energy can just

622
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: leave the room if you're not good at it. We've

623
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: seen it happen a million times in wrestling, and we've

624
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: only seen it work a handful of times in wrestling,

625
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: And that, to me, is what makes it so impressive

626
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: coming from Drew because I've never seen him do that before.

627
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: I've never seen him have the crowd eating out of

628
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: his hand. I've never seen him, you know, guided him

629
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: like a like a stage coach with a horse, like

630
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 1: with the reins on a horse, where you know you're

631
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: turning right whether you like it or not, and the

632
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: horse turns right. That's what Drew's been doing at a

633
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: super duper high level. They brought Cee him Punk back

634
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: into the story last week a little bit. I think

635
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: there was talk that he might be the ref but

636
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen because he's in rehab.

637
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: Even though he demonstrated with his good arm he can

638
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: still count to three. Drew has done something really smart

639
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: with this, and creative should get credit as well. They

640
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 1: get bagged on enough when stories don't work, they should

641
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: get him when they do. They've really put this together well.

642
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: And I'm excited for the match, and I think Drew

643
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: McIntyre's gonna win it and be the world's heavyweight champion.

644
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,239
Speaker 2: What about you?

645
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: That's what I hope happens. I think Drew McIntyre is very,

646
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 4: very underrated. The way I use underrated is the way

647
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 4: I've used it on this show many times. People say

648
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: what they made him champ. I just think he's underrated

649
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 4: in comparison to the way we talk and treat other wrestlers.

650
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: Not that he doesn't get pushes and not that he

651
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 4: isn't getting whatever. I just think we don't talk about

652
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 4: him the way we should. The dude's star.

653
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: He's huge, he's great on the mic.

654
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 4: He's got a great even that the leaving and coming

655
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 4: back is a great story, like he's ripped. He's got

656
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 4: the Vince attributes and the Triple h app attributes, the

657
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 4: things that everyone's kind of looking for. He checks all

658
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 4: the bye so I'm a huge, huge Drew McIntyre fan.

659
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: He's heelish at times while not being like he really

660
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: is good at He's kind of all the things. He

661
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 4: just feels like a real guy, and I really like

662
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 4: that about him. That being said, I hope that he wins.

663
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 4: I hope that he stays. I will feel much differently

664
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 4: than all the things I just said. If I see

665
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: him go on ae W all of a sudden and

666
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 4: you know by whatever his real name is, Joseph, you

667
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 4: know Williams, what, I'm gonna get annoyed and everyone's like

668
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: he's an awsna, I was gonna get mad. Anyways, That's

669
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,360
