Speaker 1: So I'm saying that Tom might actually cost Rhea because
Speaker 1: of his performance and his his sort of like expulsion
Speaker 1: of the demons that he had for Live Morgan. I
Speaker 1: think it could have all been an act. Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: are you ready? I'm about to hit the fan. Welcome
Speaker 1: to sanctioned Thursdays, honestling with ready, what's up? Everybody? Welcome
Speaker 1: to unsanctioned Thursdays. I got a little news to report,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to say it out loud just yet.
Speaker 1: All I can say is budgets are getting turned in
Speaker 1: and will know very very soon.
Speaker 2: We'll take that.
Speaker 1: We just want to we kind of shy.
Speaker 2: No news is bad news.
Speaker 3: In my opinion, I feel you They always say no
Speaker 3: news is good news, but I feel like no news
Speaker 3: is bad news. Sometimes things will just fizzle out. You'll go,
Speaker 3: whatever happened to that? So there's exciting things going on.
Speaker 3: People should know that.
Speaker 1: Sometimes no news is good news. Though sometimes yeah, that's
Speaker 1: let's have a twelve let's have it twell, let's have
Speaker 1: a twelve minute conversation about this. No news forever isn't
Speaker 1: good news. That's all that's well, that's true, all right,
Speaker 1: We'll close it there. We'll close it there. All right,
Speaker 1: you guys, we're gonna make predictions at SummerSlam time. It's
Speaker 1: time to help make you all some money. Just so
Speaker 1: you guys know, not that we're keeping score, but I
Speaker 1: am in the lead. Not that it matters, but if
Speaker 1: there was a first place trophy, I would get it,
Speaker 1: and the second place, if you guys believe in like participation,
Speaker 1: trovies would go to like jaff An. All yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit behind me, if you guys, baby, first loser,
Speaker 1: that's all that means, the first one that lost. All right,
Speaker 1: you guys, here we go. We're gonna try to make
Speaker 1: y'all some dough. We got Summer Slam. Now. Look, one
Speaker 1: of the matches is not complete because you never know
Speaker 1: creatively what they're gonna do. And we're talking about the
Speaker 1: Intercontinental Championship, which is Sammy Zein versus Brown Breaker. The
Speaker 1: Ilia thing could squeeze its way in there and it
Speaker 1: could become a triple threat, so don't kill us. In
Speaker 1: our first match, we have CM Punk versus Drew McIntyre
Speaker 1: with a special guest referee named Seth Rollins who's probably
Speaker 1: going to dress fantastic. I'm sure he's never disappointed. Ever,
Speaker 1: who do you think is gonna win between this lovely
Speaker 1: story that the ww has provided. I like this story
Speaker 1: very very much. But CM punk versus Drew McIntyre. Who
Speaker 1: you got, bro? Who you got the guts to take
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre. That's my pick.
Speaker 3: He's bigger. It's Summer Slam. CM punk will get his revenge.
Speaker 3: They're gonna drag this out and I think you know
Speaker 3: they'll be a back and forth. But I think this
Speaker 3: roundabout is going Drew McIntyre's way.
Speaker 1: I like the way you're thinking. I think this ends
Speaker 1: at a WrestleMania with cmpunk going over Drew. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna give the Summer Slam match to mister McIntyre.
Speaker 1: I'm going with Scotland. I'm rolling with the men that
Speaker 1: wear kilts and Carrie swords. Even though it's twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Drew McIntyre, and our producer also picks Drew McIntyre. It's
Speaker 1: a clean sweep, so no one can pull away. We
Speaker 1: can all either be winners or losers. Next up is
Speaker 1: the undisputed WWE Championship held by you know who, mister
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes versus Solo Socoa. This time, I'll let you
Speaker 1: guys know that our producer, Alex, he's gonna pick Cody,
Speaker 1: and he likes to go even further and tell you
Speaker 1: the finish. He says, Cody via disqualification because he thinks
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns is gonna return with Paul Hayman and the
Speaker 1: Rock and the place is gonna go nuclear and everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna go crazy. I think our producer's crazy. I don't
Speaker 1: think they would do that ending that soon. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna make us wait because we all want that ending.
Speaker 1: But he's picking Cody via d Q. Jeff, what say you.
Speaker 2: Before I pick?
Speaker 3: I'll just say, these wrestling nerds you know what I'm saying, Alex. Yeah,
Speaker 3: these wrestling nerds like Alex. Not only will they spoil
Speaker 3: it by being like, here's why I think is gonna win,
Speaker 3: but they know so much that they'll get it right,
Speaker 3: but then they'll predict.
Speaker 2: Also the situation. You go, why do I even watch?
Speaker 3: Why don't I just call my buddy Alex and he
Speaker 3: can tell me exactly what's gonna happen. I'm picking Solo Sica.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm gonna do. Take that wrestling nerds. I
Speaker 3: think Sola Sekoia wins.
Speaker 1: I love when you call them sooa. I explained while
Speaker 1: you were While you were gone, I expressed sort of
Speaker 1: a scenario where I thought Solo could actually win, and
Speaker 1: there is a precedent to a title going back and
Speaker 1: forth with Randy and John Cena back in the day,
Speaker 1: which you remember. However, I think our producer kind of
Speaker 1: nailed it. I think there's gonna be a DQ. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Roman's coming back just yet, but I
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a DQ, and I don't think
Speaker 1: we'll get a finish in that. I think every other
Speaker 1: match will have a finish. I'm going with Cody Rhodes
Speaker 1: to win, so that gives me an opportunity. Need to
Speaker 1: get a further ahead of mister Dye, take the lead
Speaker 1: and put more money in the people's pocket. Keep the land.
Speaker 1: Next up, World Heavyweight Championship, Damian Priest the champ versus Gunther,
Speaker 1: the challenger and former Intercontinental Champion. Our producer picks Gunther
Speaker 1: to win clean. Jeff, I, no, I'm gonna surprise you.
Speaker 1: You you go, because I think I'm gonna pick against
Speaker 1: what you guys do I'm picking, and.
Speaker 2: I'm picking here with my heart.
Speaker 1: I love him.
Speaker 3: I think he's evolved nicely. I really like what he's become.
Speaker 3: I like the way he looks, I like the way
Speaker 3: he's talking. I like the story, and I love a
Speaker 3: good heel, and so I'm gonna I'm going with Gunther.
Speaker 1: I think we might have a shady finish, and I
Speaker 1: think Gunther's gonna win. I think there could be a
Speaker 1: Finn Balor kind of thing where he's coming out to
Speaker 1: help but actually hurts Damien Priest. I think that's gonna
Speaker 1: start a storyline the Judgment Day starts to crack and
Speaker 1: fall apart, and they're going to use the end of
Speaker 1: this match as sort of the catalyst that lights that spark.
Speaker 1: So I am going with Gunther as well, but I'm
Speaker 1: given the producer description of exactly how the match is
Speaker 1: going to end. All right, next time the WWE Women's Championship,
Speaker 1: Bailey versus Nya Jacks. They have not built this match
Speaker 1: up at all. I think that Bailey is going to
Speaker 1: win the match, and I'll leave it at that. Our
Speaker 1: producer also picks Bailey, but he thinks Tiffy Cash is
Speaker 1: in right after to become the brand of world champion.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Jeff, that I would love that. I
Speaker 3: like that kind of finishy things. Also, I have been
Speaker 3: a long a loyal Naya Jacks hater, so I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go against I'm picking Bailey.
Speaker 1: All right, all three of us with Bailey as the
Speaker 1: winner for that one. Next up the Women's World Championship,
Speaker 1: Live Morgan versus Ria Ripley. I think this is the
Speaker 1: hardest match to pick on the entire friggin card. I
Speaker 1: will go first since I don't think I've gone first yet,
Speaker 1: and give you a chance to be swayed by my opinion.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say that Live Morgan actually retains the
Speaker 1: championship because she hasn't finished her mission of taking everything
Speaker 1: away from Ria Ripley, and I think there might be
Speaker 1: some Dom interference, which I'm just now reading. Our producer
Speaker 1: also thinks this hold on? Is that what I'm reading?
Speaker 1: Producer picks Riha Ripley. Oh, but Dom costs Live. So
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Dom might actually cost Rhea because of
Speaker 1: his performance and his sort of like expulsion of the
Speaker 1: demons that he had for Live Morgan. I think it
Speaker 1: could have all been an act and he's going to
Speaker 1: team up with Live Morgan and cost Rea the championship,
Speaker 1: and Live Morgan retains.
Speaker 3: What do you say, sir, this will be just like
Speaker 3: my gunther pick. I'm picking with my heart. I love
Speaker 3: Ria Ripley and I hope Ripley wins. And I also
Speaker 3: you know she's bigger, She's a giant, and a Live
Speaker 3: Morgan beating real rip like.
Speaker 1: The buff stuff in what universe? In what universe? Just
Speaker 1: in the universe you're about to see this week.
Speaker 2: Live Morgan beat Rheo Ripley.
Speaker 1: Just watch Sunday. I'll put five bucks on it. I'll
Speaker 1: put five bucks on it.
Speaker 2: Let's put five bucks on it. I'm fine with that bet.
Speaker 1: The United States Championship Logan Paul the Champion versus l
Speaker 1: A Night. Yeah, yeah, Our producer chooses l A. Knight
Speaker 1: to win his first major title man, and he put
Speaker 1: an exclamation point at the end of it because he's
Speaker 1: very excited. What do you say, mister die.
Speaker 2: I hope that that is true.
Speaker 3: I'm somewhat growing skeptical that La Knight is ever gonna
Speaker 3: be the guy and have a big pop. It's almost
Speaker 3: feeling like it's it goes up and then you need
Speaker 3: a big push, not just a push. But even the
Speaker 3: crowd is we all still love him, but it doesn't
Speaker 3: feel like it's heading towards I don't know the way
Speaker 3: bron Breaker. Right now, everyone's going, oh, he's got that.
Speaker 1: I get that argue. We've used to.
Speaker 3: Feel that about La Night, and now we don't. It
Speaker 3: would be great if they put the belt on him.
Speaker 3: It might feel a little too little, too late, but
Speaker 3: I would be happy if they did. So I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go with La Night. Also, this is my faithful wrestling
Speaker 3: Nerd producer Alex said it, so it makes makes me
Speaker 3: think it might happen.
Speaker 1: All right, this is your chance to catch me, Jeff.
Speaker 1: This is your chance right here, because I'm going to
Speaker 1: say that Logan Paul retains and this match or this
Speaker 1: rivalry is going to build up and La Knight's gonna
Speaker 1: get another chance before he becomes the US CHAMPI but
Speaker 1: I do believe he eventually will become the United States
Speaker 1: Champion finally the Intercontinental Championship. This one may have become
Speaker 1: a triple threat. We don't know creatively what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain versus bron Breaker does bron Breaker finally beat
Speaker 1: Sammy's your boy. Freddie Prinz says, this is the time.
Speaker 2: Really, you're going against Sammy's Ain. You are going against.
Speaker 1: Sammy and I was proven wrong by Sammy's Ain and
Speaker 1: I'm ready to be proven wrong again. How I just
Speaker 1: can't see him pulling it off. He got fed up
Speaker 1: pretty bad last week by Breaker after him and Jay
Speaker 1: Usso beat Vin Balor and JD McDonough, and I think
Speaker 1: that injury going into the match is going to be
Speaker 1: too much for him to overcome. I'm sorry, Sammy, He'll
Speaker 1: never be a guest on the show because I doubted
Speaker 1: you twice and I'm gonna be wrong twice, and I'm
Speaker 1: okay being wrong. It gives Jeff and Alex a chance
Speaker 1: to catch up.
Speaker 2: I don't want to catch bron Breaker is gonna win.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well there you go.
Speaker 3: I mean I wanted to catch up, but I can't
Speaker 3: be voting on Sammy's Ain.
Speaker 2: That's your boy. You didn't even pick your own horse.
Speaker 1: I know I'm dumb, and I was dumb last time,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be dumb again.
Speaker 2: I think Bron got it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, and our producer agrees with us
Speaker 1: as well. Whether you agree or just agree, share this
Speaker 1: podcast with your friends, let them know we don't just
