Speaker 1: So if you're tuning in today for news, uh, not
Speaker 1: the show for you. We are going to be taking
Speaker 1: predictions starting immediately after this next commercial break. What is
Speaker 1: the Prediction Show, Well, it's a gimmick I stole from
Speaker 1: Art Bell. Every year, we open up the phone lines
Speaker 1: and we take your predictions for the coming year, and
Speaker 1: then at the end of the show, I'm gonna read
Speaker 1: all of the predictions from last year and we are
Speaker 1: going to find out who was a prognosticator, who was
Speaker 1: a fool man, who the grand prize winner is going
Speaker 1: to be. How do you win? Well, you have to
Speaker 1: get a prediction right, and we do have some rules here,
Speaker 1: no predictions involving anybody dying or anything horrible like that.
Speaker 1: You must be bold in your prediction. What does that mean? Well,
Speaker 1: if your prediction is I predict that WrestleMania will be
Speaker 1: two nights in two yeah, you're gonna get your prediction right.
Speaker 1: But there's virtually literally the only chance of you winnings
Speaker 1: of every other single solitary person does not get their
Speaker 1: prediction right, which is possible, so you could if you
Speaker 1: wanted to make a stupid prediction, But in order to
Speaker 1: win the grand prize, you have to make a prediction
Speaker 1: that could come true because it has to come true
Speaker 1: for you to win or be very very close in
Speaker 1: the event of eight time. And that's how we determine
Speaker 1: the grand prize winner. I believe Mike simper Viv actually
Speaker 1: one last year, so we're gonna get simper vvs prediction,
Speaker 1: will get my prediction. Producer Dom made a prediction that
Speaker 1: failed last year, so we'll do those. Will take your calls.

Speaker 1: And speaking of last year, our first caller is a
Speaker 1: man who was banned last year but somehow got through.
Speaker 1: He had a stupid prediction last year. But you know

Speaker 1: These phone lines are packed. If you can't get through,
Speaker 1: try again. Five lines open right now, so you will
Speaker 1: get through maybe if you keep calling. But I can't
Speaker 1: promise anything. With the YouTube and twitch and buy a line.
Speaker 1: This is by far the biggest prediction show ever. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Bellows Falls Digg and you're on the air.
Speaker 1: What's up? What's all? What's going on? Guys? What's up? Homies?
Speaker 1: All right? My bold prediction for this year, Coda A
Speaker 1: Bushy and Kenny Omega will face off in an A
Speaker 1: E w ring Coda A Bushe versus Kenny Omega in
Speaker 1: an A E w ring. Thank you Dagon. By the way,
Speaker 1: make sure that you give your name, because we had
Speaker 1: somebody who would be a contender last year, but they
Speaker 1: didn't give their name, so don't forget that. Let's put
Speaker 1: your name on the winning award here. I can't put
Speaker 1: your name on there if you don't give it to me.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Phoenix, Arizona. You're on the Prediction show.
Speaker 1: What is your bold prediction for two Hi Brian Hi,
Speaker 1: Mike Tara, former Winner Winner. I'm deck. I'm calling a
Speaker 1: predict that five star Cody Rhodes is going to break
Speaker 1: the stiff challenge for the World Heavyweight title, hit a
Speaker 1: pedigree in the mass and win. Wow. Alright, I want
Speaker 1: to thank you very much for the call. It is bold. Alright,
Speaker 1: Cody Rhodes breaks the stip. Cody Rhodes winsy a W
Speaker 1: title with a pedigree. That's terrorist prediction. Let's go to Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: New York. You were on the year. What's going on? Hi,
Speaker 1: final SAMPI twitch home is this is wind Jammer from
Speaker 1: the board. So my prediction. I believe that Jerry mcdiller
Speaker 1: will retire early as he has hated and thus mcdenders
Speaker 1: from won't be the sending WWT sloss. So in a
Speaker 1: panic move, I predict that Vince will hire Constantine Cairos
Speaker 1: to the f w W from that MW lawsuit. I
Speaker 1: know think forever, but I believe that he will defend
Speaker 1: ww against W and win. Thank you very much for
Speaker 1: the gween Jammer gets it. I can't. I can't say
Speaker 1: that I would expect that would happen, but as I said,
Speaker 1: you must have a bold prediction in order to attempt
Speaker 1: to win this contest. Let's go to Ashland, Ohio. What
Speaker 1: is your bold prediction for twenty two? My name is Eddie,
Speaker 1: and my bold predictions that n x T two point
Speaker 1: oh will sell over three thousand tickets to an event.
Speaker 1: N x T two point oh will sell over three thousand?
Speaker 1: Is that with only an x T two point oh talent?
Speaker 1: Or is half the roster from Ron Smackdow I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be on the show only n x T two point
Speaker 1: talent like braun Breaker, Kamala Hayes, core Jating, et cetera. Okay,
Speaker 1: I thank very much for the call. Where are they running?
Speaker 1: They are but building in uh Mania? That's what I
Speaker 1: need to know, because probably will be more than three thousand.
Speaker 1: Well we'll see, But is it bold enough? If a
Speaker 1: bunch of people are right, he may not be winning.
Speaker 1: Although that seemed like a very bold prediction when he
Speaker 1: said it. All right, let's go to uh Canada. You're
Speaker 1: on the air. What is going on? No much, guys?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? What's going on? What's your name? Canada? Alright, Steve,
Speaker 1: your bold prediction? My prediction is that Roman Reins will
Speaker 1: not lose the title this year. Roman Rains will hold
Speaker 1: the title all of two. Yes, all right, I want
Speaker 1: to thank you very much for the call bold. See,
Speaker 1: people are starting to smarten up a little bit. They're like, well,
Speaker 1: if I make it too bold, I lose for sure.
Speaker 1: But I might make it too easy. I'm not gonna win,
Speaker 1: so I have to be only mildly bold. That's a strategy.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Huntington, West Virginia. You are on the air.
Speaker 1: Was this and what is your bold prediction? All right?
Speaker 1: This is Nick and my bold prediction is that this
Speaker 1: is the year that kJ Budeau will lose to Kato
Speaker 1: KAA Mike Owling. Alright, well, I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: bold enough, but in my world, that's actually pretty bold
Speaker 1: the way it's gone. We had a we had a
Speaker 1: prediction last year that as I went back and looked
Speaker 1: to see what was true and what wasn't true, I
Speaker 1: was flabbergasted that he predicted something that had already happened.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Portsmouth. You're on the air. What's going on?
Speaker 1: It was up? This is a Brandon from Portsmouth, and
Speaker 1: my bold prediction is that Austin Theory will win money
Speaker 1: in the bank this year and by the end of
Speaker 1: the year he will be w W champion. Austin Theory
Speaker 1: is gonna win money in the bank and will be
Speaker 1: the w W E champion by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Very interesting. I have noticed that Vince McMahon has hitched
Speaker 1: his train to the Austin Theory bandwagon, so I'm not
Speaker 1: sure why he would do that if he didn't have
Speaker 1: big plans for Austin Theory. It seems like they're like
Speaker 1: Vince's he's doing something here. So I'd still like to
Speaker 1: talk to your mother, you know. It's funny. Is a
Speaker 1: lot of these predictions from last year. When I heard them,
Speaker 1: they didn't seem bold at all, but none of them
Speaker 1: came true, So we shall see. Let's go once again
Speaker 1: to Canada. You're on the air. What's going on? Hey, Brian,
Speaker 1: this is otis p stink trigger from the board and
Speaker 1: the twist chat. Excuse me, otis stink trigger. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's that's the handle that I'm like, Please have a
Speaker 1: good so I can put that on a plaque. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: it's a long name. It's pretty good anyway. My prediction
Speaker 1: is the a EW video game will come out by
Speaker 1: the end of this here, and it will double the
Speaker 1: meta critics score at least of w W E two.
Speaker 1: Ko alright, thanks, all right, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: the call. Again, all of these predictions, it's like, how
Speaker 1: could they not come true? Some guy predicted that Darby
Speaker 1: was gonna get some sort of skateboarding sponsorship and have
Speaker 1: a board named after him, and I was like, well,
Speaker 1: of course, and it didn't happen. Let's go to Merylville, Indiana.
Speaker 1: You're on the air. What's going on? Oh? This is
Speaker 1: Nathan from the Chicago area and I got a gc
Speaker 1: W one uh, specifically that Ali Cat will defeat Jeff
Speaker 1: Jarrett in a Good Housekeeping match. Thank you very much
Speaker 1: for the call. There's another one. How could this not happen? Yeah? Really,
Speaker 1: I'll bet if you had enough money, you could probably
Speaker 1: sponsor that match. Buddy win the prize. But you have
Speaker 1: enough money, I bet you can make it happen. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's go to Tom's River in beautiful New Jersey or
Speaker 1: in the air. What's up, hey, Brian, this is Lewis
Speaker 1: I predict that Colt Cabana will be TNP champion? Who
Speaker 1: is he gonna beat? Uh? I hit the button before
Speaker 1: I thought you don't. Oh, well, close enough, Colt Cabana
Speaker 1: is gonna be the t n T champion, he said.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I ask for a little more details because what
Speaker 1: have he wins? Right? If you, guys, if you predicted
Speaker 1: who he beat, now you're a time breaker two, So
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Now you are not a fool. Well,
Speaker 1: let's go to the lovely Great White North of Canada.
Speaker 1: You're on the air. Who is this and what is
Speaker 1: your bold prediction for Hi? This is Pierce from Toronto, Canada,
Speaker 1: and my bold prediction for two. We will see the
Speaker 1: official A E W and w W crossover. It has
Speaker 1: to be on TV, whether it's a W t V
Speaker 1: or w W t V Raw SmackDown XT on my rampage.
Speaker 1: That's my bold prediction. So they will be working together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there will be some sort of on TV crossover Like
Speaker 1: this isn't my specific prediction, but for example, John Moxley
Speaker 1: turning up on Rod. That's probably extreme, I would say,
Speaker 1: but something will happen on television. Well, we must be bold.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you very much for the call
Speaker 1: a w W W E crossover on Television eight four
Speaker 1: nine one seven, eight four four one seven Back in
Speaker 1: a Moment, one more segment of predictions of Deserver Live.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and
Speaker 1: Mike simple Phov on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Back
Speaker 1: in the show, boyn Elber is here Wrestling Observer Live.
Speaker 1: Mike Simper, Vivi Elso Wrestling Observer dot Com. It's the
Speaker 1: annual prediction show, going back to the phones in a
Speaker 1: moment eight four four nine one three seven Your bold
Speaker 1: prediction for two and the next segment, I'll read last
Speaker 1: year's predictions and we'll all decide on a winner by
Speaker 1: the end of the show, which could be me, but
Speaker 1: it is signed for myself, Mike and Dom to make
Speaker 1: a quick prediction. So Mike is a previous winner. What
Speaker 1: is your prediction for two? I am predicting Chris Dickinson
Speaker 1: will to be the one that defeats John Moxley at
Speaker 1: some point this year to take the g c W
Speaker 1: World Championship, and I don't believe he holds it for
Speaker 1: the entire year. I believe by the end of the year,
Speaker 1: Atticus Kogar is the one walking around with the g
Speaker 1: c W Heavyweight Championship. Two title changes, Moxley loses the
Speaker 1: belt to somebody and then that person eventually will lose
Speaker 1: the belt. So a double I need a double thing
Speaker 1: to happen here. I got a parlay bet in for mine, Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's what That's what I got going on here. Now,

Speaker 1: go on a multi week West Coast swing finally and
Speaker 1: sell out every single show. Wow. Wow, excellent prediction. Dum,

Speaker 1: calls or attempted calls in the last thirty minutes here.
Speaker 1: If you didn't make it through, I apologize, but you
Speaker 1: can always try again next year. That's the sound I
Speaker 1: play when we're not taking any more calls than because
Speaker 1: it tells me on this thing. Alright, so this listen,
Speaker 1: We've gotta get through this. These are the predictions for
Speaker 1: last year. This is how it's gonna work. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read all the predictions. I'm gonna tell you whether they
Speaker 1: were successes or failures. I have narrowed it down. There
Speaker 1: were four. I believe that weren't too bad. I have
Speaker 1: narrowed it down to two, and yes, one of them
Speaker 1: is mine. And Uh, what I'm gonna do, because I'm
Speaker 1: a fair man, is during the final commercial break for
Speaker 1: two minutes, I'm going to run a pole on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and you, the listeners, can choose who you believe should
Speaker 1: be the grand champion of two. I trust that you,
Speaker 1: the listeners, will be fair. So here we go. Brian Alvarez.
Speaker 1: Last year, No Relation said that Summer Slam and All
Speaker 1: Out will take place before sold out, packed crowds. I
Speaker 1: made this prediction at the height of the pandemic, when
Speaker 1: there were nobody in the buildings and thunder domes and
Speaker 1: people thought this was never going to end. Nobody thought
Speaker 1: that my prediction. It was considered a bold prediction, and uh,
Speaker 1: Summer Slam forty five six ninety was the attendance all
Speaker 1: Out ten one. They were packed crowds, and I did
Speaker 1: predict SummerSlam and all out, so I feel that that
Speaker 1: was an excellent prediction. Vince here says a current w
Speaker 1: w E title holder will become the a w champion.
Speaker 1: That did not happen. Hangman was the only champion, the
Speaker 1: only new champion all year. That was a fail. Ryan
Speaker 1: brought in panties matches return to w w E in
Speaker 1: T one fail. Adam predicted that Tanahashi would leave New
Speaker 1: Japan and join a e W That was a fail.
Speaker 1: Tim predicted by the end of one Stone Cold Steve
Speaker 1: Aouston would win a major w w E title. That
Speaker 1: was a fail. Ryan from ann Arbor predicted on the
Speaker 1: first Raw show with a sold out crowd, every Heel
Speaker 1: would win, which we didn't think was that bold, but
Speaker 1: in fact he failed the Toyota Center in July fourteen
Speaker 1: four first show back, and in fact baby Faces did
Speaker 1: win matches on that show. This one, I'm still baffled by.
Speaker 1: Ray from Austin predicted there would be a cyber Fight
Speaker 1: merger with Noah D d T and Tokyo Joshi Pro,
Speaker 1: which had already happened. I would say that that would
Speaker 1: therefore be a fail, disqualification or such. Brandon predicted that
Speaker 1: c M Punk would return to w W E and
Speaker 1: win the title from Roman Reigns fail. Matthew predicted by
Speaker 1: the end of whatever it was, Dynamite will be handily
Speaker 1: and regularly defeating Raw in eighteen forty nine, and he
Speaker 1: said they must consecutively win four weeks or more fail,
Speaker 1: although it did happen a couple of times. Of all people,
Speaker 1: Honolulu predicted that Ring of Honor would go defunct by
Speaker 1: the midpoint of twenty one. Ring of Honor did not
Speaker 1: go defunct. They did shut down, but they are relaunching,
Speaker 1: so I must give that a fail. But he was close,
Speaker 1: saying a tougher year though that that's pretty bold. That
Speaker 1: was pretty good. No name given, which is too bad.
Speaker 1: He predicted see him Punk with debut with a W.
Speaker 1: But he did say it would be at the first
Speaker 1: touring a e W show, which is a fail. But
Speaker 1: he was close. He was close. Brian predicted w W
Speaker 1: investors will start to catch on about how bad the
Speaker 1: company is and therefore there will be a corporate restructuring
Speaker 1: and the stock price will tank. Fail. Although investors are
Speaker 1: starting to catch on what the hell is going on
Speaker 1: with this place? But I think they'd already started to
Speaker 1: do that when that prediction was made. Oh building our
Speaker 1: friend Carlos. He predicted that Damian Priest would beat Keith
Speaker 1: Lee to become the w w E champion. Fail. Eddie
Speaker 1: predicted that Truth would become a one hundred and ten
Speaker 1: time seven champion. Not only did he fail, but Truth
Speaker 1: did he make it halfway. He's only won that title
Speaker 1: fifty two times, so not one and ten. Mike semper
Speaker 1: viv predicted that a W will take over for w
Speaker 1: W E is the place where all the NIE shows
Speaker 1: convene once a year, like they used to do for WrestleMania,
Speaker 1: and they would promote a super event that would include everyone,
Speaker 1: including New Japan Pro Wrestling. Fail Don predicted Vince would
Speaker 1: give up day to day booking of Raw. Fail. Daniel
Speaker 1: predicted Marty's Skirrel will join n XT and win the
Speaker 1: title this year. Fail. Marco with the Biggest swing in
Speaker 1: a miss predicted that Dave Meltzer will wrestle his first
Speaker 1: match ever for a e W super fail I wrote
Speaker 1: right here. Antonio said, Don Kallis and Kenny Omega will
Speaker 1: create an inter promotional title that will be defended everywhere
Speaker 1: amongst all the promotions except w w E. Fail, but
Speaker 1: they basically did that with the A e W title.
Speaker 1: Former winner Tarra predicted Old Manster is gonna become the
Speaker 1: TNT champion this year. That's a fail. Jacob predicted a
Speaker 1: W will hold a major wresting show from jack Jacksonville
Speaker 1: Jaguar Stadium fail. Brady predicted that Davey Richards will return,
Speaker 1: which was correct, but that he will win the TNT
Speaker 1: title whole fail. Christopher predicted j White would win a
Speaker 1: title in w w E in one fail. This was
Speaker 1: the first of five thousand times last year. I explained
Speaker 1: that j Whites not going to w W E in
Speaker 1: twenty A. Steo here predicted n x T will counter
Speaker 1: program a e W with their own invasion angle utilizing
Speaker 1: g c W led by Joey Janella, who will have
Speaker 1: requested and gotten his release from a W Bold and
Speaker 1: a failure. No, yeah, especially when it was invaded by
Speaker 1: its own people. Ben predicted Darby Ellen will get a
Speaker 1: legit skateboard sponsorship and we'll get his own pro skateboard.
Speaker 1: I thought for sure, but it was a fail. Dave
Speaker 1: not to Melt. Sir predicted that Shabbata would return, but
Speaker 1: that he would win the g one fail. Just a
Speaker 1: little too bold, little little little too bold right there.
Speaker 1: If you just said he was gonna return and wrestle
Speaker 1: a match at the Tokyo Dome, you might have won.
Speaker 1: J B here says Tony con will make his in
Speaker 1: ring debut and roll up Don Callis in a tag
Speaker 1: match after Negative one hits Callous with a Mike fail.
Speaker 1: Boris says w W E will get their first major
Speaker 1: pickup from a WS original roster will be m JF fail.
Speaker 1: Michael predicted both n x T and a E W
Speaker 1: will put on it two or more five plus five
Speaker 1: plus star matches by the end of the year. N
Speaker 1: x T had one and a W head two, so
Speaker 1: he is in contention for the top spot. How bold
Speaker 1: was that Morgan and Pay in the Dark Order versus
Speaker 1: the New Bullet Club and the Blood and Guts match
Speaker 1: that will happen before Full Gear That was a fail.
Speaker 1: Stephen brock Lesser will return hit Paul within F five
Speaker 1: and then Roman will crush him in a match this
Speaker 1: year fail. Although some of those things did happen, Nate
Speaker 1: said all three members of the New Day will be
Speaker 1: current or former champions by the end one. Xavier Woods
Speaker 1: missed unless you count the King of the Ring, but
Speaker 1: I don't think that that counts, do you guys right?
Speaker 1: Nate Here says, uh sorry, Lou says Pat McAfee will
Speaker 1: win the Universal title by the end of the year.
Speaker 1: Didn't happen? Steve says, blood and Guts match We'll have
Speaker 1: you had a very complex booking thing that involved a
Speaker 1: sting heel turn in a new faction called the Revelation.
Speaker 1: Didn't happen. Josiah all Japan and New Japan would put
Speaker 1: on a joint show close with O'Connor and miaha Are
Speaker 1: doing a five star match fail, and Eli predicted that
Speaker 1: Private Party would turn the heel and when the a
Speaker 1: W Tag team titles could happen tonight too late, too late.
Speaker 1: It's a prediction show, So there you go, everybody. Those
Speaker 1: are the predictions. Okay, So I have narrowed it down
Speaker 1: to two and this is just me, and that is
Speaker 1: my prediction that Summer Slam at a W sold out
Speaker 1: pack crowds by the midpoint of of one. And also
Speaker 1: Michael Here who said both n x T and a
Speaker 1: W will put on two or more five plus star
Speaker 1: matches by the end of the year. Now, to be fair,
Speaker 1: the n x T match was actually two guys from
Speaker 1: n x T U k Valter and Dragon Off who
Speaker 1: happened to do a show on an n x T
Speaker 1: takeover event. And then it was Young Bucks and um
Speaker 1: Penton Phoenix in the cage, and I forget the other
Speaker 1: one that a W did, but that's three five plus
Speaker 1: star matches. He predicted both n x T a W
Speaker 1: would put on two or more five plus star matches.
Speaker 1: So those are I think the the two that would
Speaker 1: lead in the pole. And so therefore I'm gonna put
Speaker 1: that poll up on Twitter and we'll see what the
Speaker 1: fans have to say. Back in a moment observerly back
Speaker 1: in the show, Brian Alvarez here Wrestling Observer Alive, Mike
Speaker 1: supper Viv also of Wrestling Observer dot Com. My Twitter
Speaker 1: is just crawling right now. But this Preston here goes rigged.
Speaker 1: I rigged a prediction. I'm gonna rig a prediction for
Speaker 1: the lottery numbers next year. And then somebody else here said, well,
Speaker 1: you know, neither were very bold. It well, that's part
Speaker 1: of the game like it has to be. I said
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, if if it's too easy,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna win unless every single other person fails.
Speaker 1: So you have to be you have to be somewhat bold.
Speaker 1: If you're very bold, you're guaranteed to win if it
Speaker 1: comes true. So it's a game that you have to
Speaker 1: play here. But I I could not look at either
Speaker 1: prediction and say, you know, myself for or the other
Speaker 1: blowke here did it wrong. It's like and and listen,
Speaker 1: I know that we're a year out and everything like that,
Speaker 1: but I did the show last year and I rewatched it,
Speaker 1: and there was nobody that said, Brian, that is not
Speaker 1: a bold prediction. Like we were deep in the middle
Speaker 1: of that pandemic and it was the winter surge, which
Speaker 1: I think actually got worse. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: I would say that that wasn't bold. And uh a
Speaker 1: W and n x T five plus star matches, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's actually bold to have said that n x T.
Speaker 1: But I guess n x T two point know how
Speaker 1: don't started yet. But anyway, it is time everybody to
Speaker 1: uh reveal the winner with fifty of the vote. Survivor
Speaker 1: series and all out running before packed crowds to five
Speaker 1: plus star matches for a w n n X t
Speaker 1: of the vote fifty one to nine. I want to
Speaker 1: thank you all for your votes. I'll get on that
Speaker 1: trophy right now that I will be displaying proudly here
Speaker 1: in this room. And good luck everybody for your predictions
Speaker 1: for twenty two. I appreciate it. Thanks everybody you called,
