Speaker 1: Now your maybe events, introducing the hosts Wrestling with pretty
Speaker 1: Jeff Died pretty soon. Yeah, what's up everybody? Welcome back
Speaker 1: to Wrestling with Freddy Now, no, that's wrestling with friends
Speaker 1: and with me, as always is my amazing co host,
Speaker 1: Mr jeff d How are you today, sir. I'm feeling good, Freddy.
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be back in the pocket talking wrestling
Speaker 1: with with you, buddy. That's right. Today's episode is going
Speaker 1: to be all about the huge epic pay per view
Speaker 1: weekend of wrestling both Saturday and Sunday. How are you
Speaker 1: feeling about all that, Jeffrey? I'm good. Do you have
Speaker 1: a good British accent? You can give us a class?
Speaker 1: Because of the clash of the Castle the first time
Speaker 1: they've been in the UK for seven hundred years. Last
Speaker 1: time they did it, the Davy boys, Smith hoisted up
Speaker 1: the championship, but it was like, yeah he was. You know,
Speaker 1: he's the British bulldog. You gotta let him win there,
Speaker 1: it's the British bulldog. Well, I think this time though,
Speaker 1: because it's Drew, we have to do a Scottish accent,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So great, great Britain and
Speaker 1: they're really billing it as England, but they should say
Speaker 1: Great Britain and he hasked the Scottish, the broocent that's
Speaker 1: so sixy and man Leola. Yeah. Well, and also that
Speaker 1: they're really turning this into like they're like, I know
Speaker 1: it's England or the I know to let's just do
Speaker 1: let's just do all of them. You know, we got
Speaker 1: a Shamus, you know, we got we'll get in, We'll
Speaker 1: get into all that. We're gonna get into both the
Speaker 1: pay per views. But a couple of things happened during
Speaker 1: the week that we should mention, and one is the
Speaker 1: return of Johnny Gargano back in w w WE, debuting
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Raw a crazy CM Punk Moxley Championship
Speaker 1: match to get rid of the Interiom title. And like
Speaker 1: you said, the first show in England and over thirty
Speaker 1: years at Clash at the Castle and finally a e
Speaker 1: W all out is sold out. You mentioned it during
Speaker 1: the open they're bringing all the Europeans over Shamus Gunther. Okay,
Speaker 1: so the build up to this is what it is. Gave. However,
Speaker 1: they did a segment to kind of get you excited
Speaker 1: for this that started off and it was not it
Speaker 1: was not going well. Man Shamus was trying to get
Speaker 1: the crowd behind him, started talking about all the men
Speaker 1: that he's defeated that are at a higher level than Gunther.
Speaker 1: And he starts saying, I've had banger after banger after
Speaker 1: banger for those who don't understand the X, and he's
Speaker 1: saying a banger match, and then he stopped to let
Speaker 1: the crowd say banger and no one said anything, and
Speaker 1: then he goes down. But he played with it because
Speaker 1: someone said it. Someone said it. So the segments dying,
Speaker 1: and I'm feeling so horrible for Shamus because I know Shamus.
Speaker 1: I love Shamus. I think he's awesome, and I hate
Speaker 1: seeing people I care, you know, die. It's like watching
Speaker 1: a comic that you love and respect die on stage,
Speaker 1: you know it. Just the segment is saved because Gunther
Speaker 1: has this dude they call him what Kaiser. He's jacked
Speaker 1: and he looks great, and him and Butch and the
Speaker 1: other big Irish guy all just start fighting. But Gunther
Speaker 1: and Shamus never break. They just stare at each other
Speaker 1: face to face. With all this chaos going around, it
Speaker 1: was like watching an old school w CW Monday Nitro.
Speaker 1: It was saved the segment. I'm not gonna go out
Speaker 1: there and say it was amazing, but it saved the
Speaker 1: segment because neither dude moved for a full minute while
Speaker 1: there's just NonStop chaos, And it was the only thing
Speaker 1: that I think would get me excited to see them fight,
Speaker 1: because you're waiting for them to fight, and I thought
Speaker 1: it was slick and it was a good save, so
Speaker 1: I just wanted to shout that out. Let's get into
Speaker 1: Clash at the Castle. Jeff Roman Reigns versus Drew McIntyre.
Speaker 1: I'm crazy hype for this the Friday and I SmackDown
Speaker 1: with all the vignettes that they shot and Drew talking
Speaker 1: about his life story and coming forward, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: get into my love affair with Sammy sane. But are
Speaker 1: you excited for this match? Yes, this is a great build.
Speaker 1: I actually, I actually really enjoy this, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go on a limb here. I I think I think
Speaker 1: this is the end of the Roman, not forever, but
Speaker 1: I mean I think this is the end of the championship.
Speaker 1: I think I think Drew wins. Yeah, I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna win too. It would be such a brutal story
Speaker 1: for him to lose in in his home and in
Speaker 1: his motherland. When I've come out here and I've gone
Speaker 1: through all this and then to just know that would
Speaker 1: be horrible. That would be such a That's not the
Speaker 1: fairytale ending in any way, shape or form. But you
Speaker 1: could see Austin Theory or bray Wyatt. And here's the thing,
Speaker 1: I want to preface this. You're not seeing bray Wyatt
Speaker 1: no way. Yeah, I think bray Wyatt comes out. I
Speaker 1: think that's what's gonna happen. And also I want to
Speaker 1: prefaces I don't read the sheets. I don't know anyse things.
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of my predictions are gonna fall very,
Speaker 1: very flat. But I do talk to friends that love
Speaker 1: wrestling who claim they don't read the sheets, but I've
Speaker 1: got a feeling that they do, so you know, they're
Speaker 1: deep in those sheets. I also think we might see
Speaker 1: Page because you know, even if it's just comes out
Speaker 1: for like a big spot to make it to make
Speaker 1: everyone pop, but or maybe you know, maybe she comes back.
Speaker 1: I think the more likely scenario would be Theory or
Speaker 1: carrying Cross, because Cross has been heavily featured in Vignette's
Speaker 1: backstage and he's always talking Drew's name. Now, they could
Speaker 1: be saving him for when Drew wins and maybe Cross
Speaker 1: just comes out, maybe Cross helps Drew go over and
Speaker 1: then they have a moment in the ring. Although I
Speaker 1: think you'd want to keep that moment just for Drew
Speaker 1: at the end, because he got so screwed with that
Speaker 1: Pandemic championship. I think you want to give him that
Speaker 1: real moment in front of all of the people cheering
Speaker 1: form instead of all the video screens that were right
Speaker 1: sharing for he deserves that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: And so I could see that, or I could see
Speaker 1: theory coming out, and if the new regime isn't a
Speaker 1: fan of Vince's guy theory, he could cash in and
Speaker 1: carry and Cross could destroy his opportunity and even though
Speaker 1: it was a match, make him lose, and then theory
Speaker 1: is out of that picture. And then you go to
Speaker 1: the races with Crossing, and through my entire that's my
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. And then everybody, you know, Bray is not
Speaker 1: coming out, man Bright everybody is every pay per view man,
Speaker 1: They're like this is the one and yeah, ever since
Speaker 1: he's like literally every week ago Yeah, there's no shame
Speaker 1: in that bro everybody because everybody wants it. Everybody likes Bray.
Speaker 1: He was the last attraction left in wrestling. He was
Speaker 1: actually an attraction like the Undertaker, like you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. There was something magic about him. So we
Speaker 1: miss him. But every pay per view I hear everyone
Speaker 1: this is the would look there was a hint of him, Like, no,
Speaker 1: that was edge. It's because what we want. It's not
Speaker 1: what we think. You know, we're very we run with
Speaker 1: our hearts. Actually we should say that since this is
Speaker 1: the first episode this season where we're making like predictions. Here,
Speaker 1: are you making the predictions based on what you think
Speaker 1: will happen or what you want to happen. I will
Speaker 1: I will preface each prediction because it's going to be
Speaker 1: different for each Okay, okay, okay, Well I want Bray
Speaker 1: to come out. We'll talk more about Bray this episode,
Speaker 1: who's not even wrestling professionally, than we will any other
Speaker 1: wrestling Yeah for sure. All right, we're moving down the line.
Speaker 1: This story is the one that I thought was weird,
Speaker 1: the SmackDown Women's Championship with Morgan versus Shanda based and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start by saying I love Shana Basler. I
Speaker 1: think she is great. I think she's super cool. She's
Speaker 1: completely unique on the roster, the way she wrestles, the
Speaker 1: way she behaves, the way she looks. I don't think
Speaker 1: she's been booked great, but I love Shana Basley. The
Speaker 1: Live Morgan story. I love Live too. I've seen her
Speaker 1: do great stuff, but this story is so weird to me.
Speaker 1: It's I don't understand having her look weak going into
Speaker 1: the pay per view if she's the baby face, because
Speaker 1: even if she overcomes it, there's still all this like
Speaker 1: history if she tapped out before she got the victory,
Speaker 1: and then they've played her soft and it's not her fault.
Speaker 1: It's not like she can go in there and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: it's it's a tricky situation. But I'm not that hype
Speaker 1: for this. I'm assuming Live Morgan's going to win because
Speaker 1: I don't think they would give Shane of the belt
Speaker 1: yet because she hasn't been booked properly to this point.
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't know how much I care
Speaker 1: about the match. What about what's say you? I say
Speaker 1: that the wrestlers have to do what daddy says. Right
Speaker 1: when Vince was there, Like let's say you think, well
Speaker 1: I need a big push, and they don't care. If
Speaker 1: Vince says you lose, you lose. And I imagine the
Speaker 1: same is true now that Vince is gone. If the wrestling,
Speaker 1: if the writers are you do what the writers make happen, right, dude,
Speaker 1: Look how Carrie and Cross was booked when he first
Speaker 1: came up and as the sexy porno gladiator, Like you
Speaker 1: think he wanted to do that. No, So here's what
Speaker 1: I think happens. Either A, they're making Live Morgan look
Speaker 1: real weak so she can lose to Shana Basler, and
Speaker 1: then Shana fights Rhonda and they build that story to Ronda.
Speaker 1: Bro I would love that. I think the other way
Speaker 1: you were gonna go just to make it believable if
Speaker 1: if Live does win, is they just kind of white
Speaker 1: out that first story and then just say, hey, here's
Speaker 1: where it starts. It's she beat Shane as she beat
Speaker 1: her legit and now she's our legit champion. But the
Speaker 1: way you just did it, I like even more because
Speaker 1: Shana and Rondo would be pretty cool. And also it's
Speaker 1: not like Rhonda deserves to get the belt just because
Speaker 1: she comes you know what I'm saying. It's not like
Speaker 1: she's putting in a lot of like t V time
Speaker 1: or work, so you could make you can make an
Speaker 1: argument that Shana and Rhonda both having having enough time
Speaker 1: in there to really get the strap, right. I just
Speaker 1: did an episode of w W Rivals and J B l,
Speaker 1: who's there in every episode, was talking to me about
Speaker 1: Hunter's work ethic and how even when he got injured,
Speaker 1: he always finished a match. He believed in working every day.
Speaker 1: And I feel like the part timers aren't going to
Speaker 1: get as much love with Hunter and Charge as the
Speaker 1: full timers because of how he came up. So and
Speaker 1: Ronda is not a full timer, So it would be
Speaker 1: cool if they tried to make Shana off of Rhonda rousing.
Speaker 1: I would dig that. Man. Shana, she had a badass man.
Speaker 1: She just looked mean and like she should be in
Speaker 1: a Blade movie. Like she's just cool man. I like Shana.
Speaker 1: It's also that's another thing like in in Men's we've
Speaker 1: learned that every person can win at any time, and
Speaker 1: every wrestlers whatever, like you have a ray mysterio versus
Speaker 1: Undertakeer and you still think there's a chance. But when
Speaker 1: it comes to the girls, you see Shana Basler against
Speaker 1: like a Live More and you go, oh, that's not
Speaker 1: gonna go good, like yeah, and you should feel like that,
Speaker 1: And they haven't even booked her well, and you feel
Speaker 1: like that, you know what I'm saying. Um, speaking of women,
Speaker 1: I like and I'm surprised that I'm excited to see
Speaker 1: this because it's a six person tag We got the
Speaker 1: six women tag match Bianca Belair, Alexa Bliss, and Oscar
Speaker 1: versus Bailey, Dakota Kai and Eo Sky. I have not
Speaker 1: been excited to watch a six man or six women
Speaker 1: tag match at a pay per view in probably fifteen years.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember the last Survivor Series team match
Speaker 1: I was that excited for. But Bailey has been so
Speaker 1: good on the mic. If they fumbled a little at
Speaker 1: the end of that Canada trip, but I'm racking that
Speaker 1: up to everyone being exhausted on that Monday Night raw.
Speaker 1: But Bailey has been so cool, and the way they
Speaker 1: put Dakota Kai and Eo Sky with her on either side.
Speaker 1: She is so much taller and broader and thicker than
Speaker 1: both those girls. She looks way legit man, and I'm
Speaker 1: loving they're building her and Bianca. Eventually, I'm excited to
Speaker 1: see where they go. Bliss and Oscar doing what they do.
Speaker 1: I've never excited to watch these matches, and I think
Speaker 1: because of Bailey and Bianca has done all right. Like
Speaker 1: again that last one in the blowoff to the pay
Speaker 1: per view, I think everyone was exhausted and no one
Speaker 1: could remember what to do. But I'm excited for both
Speaker 1: of them and if it leads to of course it's
Speaker 1: leading to Bianca and and Bailey. That's not a prediction.
Speaker 1: Anyone would know that. I think they've done it well
Speaker 1: and I'm excited for it. This one, I feel like
Speaker 1: would be a challenge for you to get hyped for
Speaker 1: am I writer in my rown. I I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're right, but my prediction is they definitely went
Speaker 1: for a percent Bailey's team and control role or winning.
Speaker 1: From here, they'll build a Bianca bell Air Bailey story
Speaker 1: to the next pay per view, and I think Bailey
Speaker 1: goes over there too. We talked about the Intercontinental Championship
Speaker 1: for Gunther and Shamus. I think we both probably agree
Speaker 1: that Gunther is gonna win. Have Riddle and Seth Freaking
Speaker 1: Rollins found a way to get you excited about this
Speaker 1: rivalry yet I'm not crazy about either of the guys necessarily,
Speaker 1: but I think they've done good. But do you have winning?
Speaker 1: This is hard, man. I don't know how you can
Speaker 1: get both guys over in this match. But it's tricky
Speaker 1: because Rollins did so much work for Cody to lose
Speaker 1: three times in a row, and his character gets ridiculed
Speaker 1: and ridiculed he got that last win. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you can let him lose. And if Riddle loses,
Speaker 1: I don't know what riddles story is from there, unless
Speaker 1: it's Randy's coming back to rehabilitate him and and show
Speaker 1: him the way again, and they kind of start that
Speaker 1: story over. But I would not let Seth Breaking Rollins
Speaker 1: lose because I would put him on a path with
Speaker 1: the top top top of the roster. So I would
Speaker 1: I have Seth freaking Rollins, although I wish they'd just
Speaker 1: call him Seth Rollins. I have him going over. I
Speaker 1: would bet all my money that Seth Rollins went. You
Speaker 1: just can't let them lose here. I just I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't see any universe where they make and you
Speaker 1: can find a way to end it in a way
Speaker 1: where you can make arguments that it wasn't wasn't clean,
Speaker 1: or whatever the way you want to do it. But
Speaker 1: Seth wins. All right, let's move from w W E
Speaker 1: to A E W and a sold out all out.
Speaker 1: This is the Sunday pay per view and it starts
Speaker 1: kind of bitter sweet because thunder Rosa had to relinquish
Speaker 1: the Women's World Championship for a back injury. I believe
Speaker 1: is what it was. All it's damn back into this
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a batal four way with Tony
Speaker 1: Storm versus Dr Brett Baker versus Jamie Hayder, who I
Speaker 1: saw at the l A Show and really like, and Hikarushida,
Speaker 1: who's always game in the Tony Storm is the is
Speaker 1: the former now tag team partner of thunder Rossa. They
Speaker 1: used to have Thunderstorm, which was such a great tag
Speaker 1: team name. It was so old school in eighties, man,
Speaker 1: I loved it. She's gonna be the baby face favorite.
Speaker 1: Dr Brett Baker is going to be the hell favorite,
Speaker 1: and I think you and I both believe she's gonna win.
Speaker 1: Jamie Hayter, I think is the dark horse to win it.
Speaker 1: They could surprise everybody because it's an inner room championship,
Speaker 1: it's not the real one. And I don't think hi
Speaker 1: car Ushida has a chance to wear that belt yet,
Speaker 1: just because I think she took some time off and
Speaker 1: isn't really in a story. It's tricky to book these
Speaker 1: types of matches when a champion gets hurt, but it's
Speaker 1: also exciting because you see people step up when they
Speaker 1: when they get a real opportunity. I say, Dr Brett
Speaker 1: Baker is winning the It was a mistake to ever
Speaker 1: take the belt off her. She should have had a
Speaker 1: Roman Reigns type run for real. Man. I love her.
Speaker 1: I love her to death. That's who I think is
Speaker 1: winning this match. What about you, brother, I think this
Speaker 1: is gonna be a great match. I'm excited about it.
Speaker 1: Breaker or Brett Baker d d s that's what they
Speaker 1: should start calling her. You know, I love it shall
Speaker 1: be give him get a shout a shout out to
Speaker 1: Cane before he was Kane. But no, I think that
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a good match. And then I
Speaker 1: think bray Wyatt comes out and returns. That's what I
Speaker 1: believe to be. I don't know what it is with
Speaker 1: Britt Baker. They like they put They've bet the whole
Speaker 1: farm on this gale. She was the only thing holding
Speaker 1: the division together for a while before Jay Cargill came around,
Speaker 1: So I think they have to put it on her again,
Speaker 1: build the division around her, figure out a way to
Speaker 1: book Ruby into this in the story and things like that,
Speaker 1: because Ruby can work too. I feel like they could
Speaker 1: build her against see him honk, and they'd let her win.
Speaker 1: The other women's championship, the TBS Championship, yes, is represented
Speaker 1: by the undefeated champion, Ms. Jade Cargan versus my dear
Speaker 1: friend from up Up, Down Down who I played dn
Speaker 1: D with Athena. Now this their story has had crazy hiccups.
Speaker 1: It's hit pause and play too many times to be consistent,
Speaker 1: and most recently turned into like a bullying thing where
Speaker 1: they were breaking some of her stuff and that felt
Speaker 1: very like lay Cool when Michelle McCool and and uh
Speaker 1: and Layla were doing that thing, which I was never into.
Speaker 1: It just seems more childish than anything. So I'm not
Speaker 1: loving the way this is book. But I love both
Speaker 1: these ladies. I know one of them, and I believe
Speaker 1: she was brought there to really sort of legitimize, bringing
Speaker 1: someone who can crazy work and help make Jade, you know,
Speaker 1: even better than she is and keep her on that
Speaker 1: trajectory upward. There's no way they're letting my girl win
Speaker 1: this match. It's got to be the champ. It should
Speaker 1: be the champ Jade Cargill, and she remains undefeated, which
Speaker 1: is a really I I still buy it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, because I haven't seen the person yet
Speaker 1: that's gonna come into that company that's gonna take it
Speaker 1: from her. So I love this for Jade. I think
Speaker 1: it's great. They brought Athena in, who we know is
Speaker 1: m ber Moon and uh yeah, shout out to Jade Cargill.
Speaker 1: Keep a green girl. What do you think? Bro? Also
Speaker 1: Jade Cargo. But I will admit, you know, I do
Speaker 1: like to pick my wrestlers based on who looks better
Speaker 1: and looks cooler. And and if anybody wants to say, oh,
Speaker 1: that's sexist he's talking about these girls like that, I
Speaker 1: do it to the guy is too. How is about
Speaker 1: to say it? Pick your guy favorites the same way?
Speaker 1: And maybe I'll just be honest here do you find
Speaker 1: it harder to predict a W than ww E? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm programmed w W E, so I think that's
Speaker 1: all I know, you know what I mean? Like, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't go outside that box very often because I
Speaker 1: have no training outside their company. Well, because like I
Speaker 1: when I'm thinking of all the things I was going
Speaker 1: to predict with Alex Sentos, all this stuff, and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: I got this, I got this to get this, and
Speaker 1: then I got to the a W roster and I
Speaker 1: was going, M I had to spend way more time
Speaker 1: on each match thinking I don't know what they're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I guess I just find them to be more unpredictable
Speaker 1: maybe or I just don't know as much. But anyways,
Speaker 1: sorry that being said, I'm going with you. I think
Speaker 1: we're too Yeah. I think we're two for two so
Speaker 1: far with Britt Baker and Jake Cargo. That'll take us
Speaker 1: to the A e W World Tag Team Championship, which
Speaker 1: is the biggest dude ever. Keep Lee and we got
Speaker 1: Swerve Strickland versus Via claimed. There's never gonna be a
Speaker 1: time where I pick against Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland
Speaker 1: until they their team hates each other and they don't
Speaker 1: want to work with each other anymore, or if they do,
Speaker 1: like a last match in Nashville at age seventy three,
Speaker 1: then you might go. I don't know if they'll perhaps perhaps,
Speaker 1: but Swerve, Swerve is the is the one that got away.
Speaker 1: As far as Triple H is concerned, that would be
Speaker 1: the focal point of the top dollar group over there
Speaker 1: right now, because that's what it was in n x
Speaker 1: T and he was the one who work better than everybody.
Speaker 1: And that's why that group still feels incomplete is because
Speaker 1: they lost that guy. Swerve can work, and Keith Lee
Speaker 1: is borderline attraction, like he's not bray White because he
Speaker 1: hasn't found that character yet, that that right sort of
Speaker 1: road that's just perfect form. But he's playing himself right
Speaker 1: now and he looks comfortable and that's way good enough
Speaker 1: for me. So they're going over. They claimed is going
Speaker 1: to lose as they should, and we are going to
Speaker 1: protect Swerve strict and as we should. I don't see uh,
Speaker 1: I don't see them losing anytime soon at all to anybody.
Speaker 1: Build build build, build building, love those guys. Okay, now
Speaker 1: we can talk trios Championship. I was told we did
Speaker 1: a disservice when we forgot to mention the return of
Speaker 1: Kenny Omega. Um. I'll be honest, I was hoping the
Speaker 1: return would be solo. I didn't want it to be
Speaker 1: in a trio. But the Trios Championship has captivated my
Speaker 1: imagination because of Asbury and his team and the work
Speaker 1: that all these guys have been doing. So of course
Speaker 1: I would say the guy coming back, Kenny Omega's team
Speaker 1: would win, but he's more a solo guy, and I
Speaker 1: think Asprey has more a chance with the trios than solo.
Speaker 1: So why not let Osprey and his team get the
Speaker 1: win and then you let Kenny Omega go and do
Speaker 1: the championship run that everybody's waiting for him to do.
Speaker 1: So that's how I think the Trio Championship is gonna go.
Speaker 1: But we're not gonna spend too much time on the
Speaker 1: Trios Championship until we know how seriously they're taking That
Speaker 1: is the company, not the rest of it. This is
Speaker 1: the first time I think I've said Kenny Omega's name
Speaker 1: on the podcast, and we're a few episodes in this season,
Speaker 1: so that is a that is an oversight a little bit.
Speaker 1: Um Yeah, I agree, Kenny Omega. I think that that's
Speaker 1: that's a you don't need to have him win, especially
Speaker 1: because he's gonna do bigger things. Then. Now here's where
Speaker 1: we're gonna disagree. I predict Jungle Boy versus Christian Cage.
Speaker 1: When m JF left a e W storyline wise, the
Speaker 1: first promo that miants something after m jf's pipe bomb
Speaker 1: was Christians promo against Jungle Boy and where he went
Speaker 1: into family stuff and things like this. This was all
Speaker 1: with permission. I'm sure it was a great promo, and
Speaker 1: he maintained that story and that level of heat from
Speaker 1: the crowd pretty damn well. And and Jungle Boy returned.
Speaker 1: I'm not the appear singing praise on Jungle Boy every week.
Speaker 1: This is the first time I think I mentioned his
Speaker 1: name on the show. I think he's handled this pretty
Speaker 1: damn well. Christian is obviously more refined on the microphone
Speaker 1: and better at promos and as as holding the majority
Speaker 1: of this, But when Jungle Boy got to let loose
Speaker 1: and say what he needed to say, I thought he
Speaker 1: did well with it. However, I think Christian Cage is
Speaker 1: gonna win this match and I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: through like that nefarious kind of father like I did this.
Speaker 1: I did this out of love. I'm sorry, and he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a moment of sympathy and he's just gonna
Speaker 1: like dead him in the nuts and finish him. And
Speaker 1: just I honestly think that he'll's going over in such
Speaker 1: a dirty, shady way in this match, and I think
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna pick the good guy. Yeah, I'm going
Speaker 1: with the face on it now. And this one isn't
Speaker 1: something I want because I could care less about this
Speaker 1: match if I'm if I'm real, honest, fair enough, But
Speaker 1: but I think just what is going to happen is
Speaker 1: is going to be a big baby face moment. This
Speaker 1: goes to a story that's been a featured piece on
Speaker 1: our podcast the last two weeks, which is the American
Speaker 1: Dragon Brian Danielson versus the Lion Heart Old School Chris
Speaker 1: Jericho and the reason they have a fight, the reason
Speaker 1: they have a motivation to fight each other was a
Speaker 1: guy we mentioned named Daniel Garcia, who I wasn't sure about.
Speaker 1: And then my producer, our producer, Alex got me hip
Speaker 1: too with some videos of some indie stuff that he did,
Speaker 1: and then he came out the next week without that
Speaker 1: weird leather hat backwards that don't like the hat. He
Speaker 1: came out and he looked like a real dude, and
Speaker 1: he struggled with the questions that were be imposed to
Speaker 1: him because he was wrestling his hero, Brian Danielson, who
Speaker 1: his mentor no longer respects sports entertainer Chris Jericho, mentor
Speaker 1: wrestler professional wrestler Daniel Brown or sorry, Brian Danielson. And
Speaker 1: this kid is torn and stuck in the middle. And
Speaker 1: the story has been Chris Jericho pushing him and saying, hey, man,
Speaker 1: you have to pick. You have to pick. Is it
Speaker 1: him or me? And he's like, and he had a
Speaker 1: real moment. He's like, you're asking me to pick between
Speaker 1: my hero and my mentor in front of all these people.
Speaker 1: That's too big a moment for me, man, I can't
Speaker 1: do it. Was such an honest answer. I'm excited to
Speaker 1: watch any Brian Danielson match. Chris Jericho still has the
Speaker 1: ability to put on a good match, and he's constantly
Speaker 1: trying to put people over. I have no idea who's
Speaker 1: gonna win. So the only way I can see it
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pick Jericho in this is Jericho win
Speaker 1: because Daniel Garcia will be out there at some point
Speaker 1: and it's gonna have to like cause some kind of
Speaker 1: I don't know what, I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: if Daniel Garcia can go hell after this. I think
Speaker 1: he has to go baby face. But maybe I'm dead wrong,
Speaker 1: and they have a cool story that I haven't thought of.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna pick Lionheart in some nefarious business us.
Speaker 1: I'm going with a lot of heels. Bro I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've been healed heavy on. I haven't. I've
Speaker 1: only picked Swerves, my only baby face. I will never
Speaker 1: ever in my life, uh predict anything against Chris Jericho.
Speaker 1: Chris Jericho is the best. I love him so much.
Speaker 1: Like literally his wrestling, the show he made the dark
Speaker 1: side of the ring, like he basically he brought us
Speaker 1: a e w if we're honest, like we wouldn't even
Speaker 1: without Chris Jericho this, we don't even have this league
Speaker 1: of wrestling. I just I'm obsessed with Jericho. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm doing his boat cruise doing stand up comedy. That's right,
Speaker 1: boat Cruise. I gotta commence you to come out. I
Speaker 1: think Jericho wins this, and it's because I don't really know.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to predict it. I just I
Speaker 1: just don't see Jericho losing, even though he I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I'm never gonna pay it against Jericho. Jericho wins.
Speaker 1: That's that's my prediction. The next match. I have no
Speaker 1: interest in Wardlow should be doing solo stuff. He got
Speaker 1: made beautifully by m JF and there's no reason for
Speaker 1: him to be in this story. Moving on, Mr Ricky
Speaker 1: Starks the Jewel of New Orleans versus Will Hobbs. This
Speaker 1: story is was rushed, but there's only so many hours
Speaker 1: on TV, and I think these guys have done everything
Speaker 1: they can when in a very very short window to
Speaker 1: make you care. I will say this, Ricky's promos have
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of proper reactions, but the energy from
Speaker 1: the crowd wasn't always there, and I think it's because
Speaker 1: this is a little bit rushed. That said, if these
Speaker 1: two can put on a good match and the finish
Speaker 1: isn't someone getting, you know, obliterated and sent to a hospital,
Speaker 1: then it could be a starting point for them and
Speaker 1: you could try to stretch this out and get something
Speaker 1: out of two young guys that could both get each
Speaker 1: other over at the same time. Do you care about
Speaker 1: this match at all? Do you like either of these guys?
Speaker 1: And I think Ricky Starks is going over, by the way,
Speaker 1: I like both of these guys. I like Will Hobbs.
Speaker 1: I just like because he's a big beast. You is strong,
Speaker 1: He's got that rhino size like that, he's wide and
Speaker 1: and big. I know what you mean. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: Ricky Ricky Starts wins. But I like both of these
Speaker 1: dudes a lot, and I hope to see them go
Speaker 1: go back and forth, and like you just said, they
Speaker 1: can build each other, so just keep it going. And
Speaker 1: I you know, Will Hobbs has this like sneer that
Speaker 1: he does like you remember that word. Yeah, nobody says
Speaker 1: that anymore. But it's like if Billy Idol wasn't doing
Speaker 1: it to be sexy, he was doing it to disrespect you.
Speaker 1: The main event, John Moxley, the Champion, no more interim nonsense.
Speaker 1: I love that he said I hate this belt, I
Speaker 1: hate everything about it, which was great versus CM Punk,
Speaker 1: who has very slickly if that's a word, made people
Speaker 1: question reality when dealing with stories he's involved with. He
Speaker 1: has always been very, very good at this. He is
Speaker 1: a master on the microphone. You do not have to
Speaker 1: write for this guy. They had a match though that
Speaker 1: lasted about three maybe four minutes. Like you said earlier,
Speaker 1: it's harder to predict a ew but Punk has to win,
Speaker 1: right I am. I have no idea, if I'm honest.
Speaker 1: We've said this on every one of these well, but no,
Speaker 1: not definitely for this one. I don't under it's so
Speaker 1: hard for me to understand what they want to do
Speaker 1: with these guys. Well, an injury screwed up the story,
Speaker 1: so I give him latitude when that happened. Punk has
Speaker 1: to win because I feel like there are more stories
Speaker 1: available to you with people chasing CM Punk as opposed
Speaker 1: to people chasing John Moxley. Because Moxley's reason for fighting
Speaker 1: is the same in every promo he's ever delivered. And
Speaker 1: that's not criticism, that's just fact. He says it. He
Speaker 1: goes once that once I'm in the ring with you,
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. I'm there to fight you,
Speaker 1: to disrespect you, to make it bleed to hurt, Like oh,
Speaker 1: so that's why he fights. I want Moxley to win,
Speaker 1: but I think Punk wins. That's my my prediction for
Speaker 1: what I believe is CM Punk and for what I
Speaker 1: want is John Moxy. But I don't see him losing
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Let me ask you this, because you've been
Speaker 1: You've been the one speculating returns and don't don't say
Speaker 1: Bret what. Don't damn it. I wasn't gonna say Brey what.
Speaker 1: But what if CM punk wins, you could steal the
Speaker 1: moment from CM Punk, not with Bray Wyatt, but with
Speaker 1: the return of m JF. I think that's very likely.
Speaker 1: You like that, don't you? I like it? And also
Speaker 1: it makes total sense. I mean because it's it's um
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have to come out and fight, you know,
Speaker 1: it seems like he doesn't like getting in that ring much.
Speaker 1: Is that we don't get to see a lot of
Speaker 1: MGF in the actual taking bumps lately, at least in
Speaker 1: a while. Um yeah, I think that makes sense. If
Speaker 1: m JF becomes the a W champion, he will be
Speaker 1: the most insufferable he el the wrestling business has had
Speaker 1: in thirty forty years. Perfect he is so imagine if
Speaker 1: Rowdy Roddy Piper got the spot that Haul Cogan had
Speaker 1: all those years and played it as the evil, rowdy
Speaker 1: roddy piper. That's what you get with a hell mj
Speaker 1: because he's not even if they're screaming baby face stuff
Speaker 1: at him. He buries the crowd even when they cheer
Speaker 1: for him. He is so good at it. And I
Speaker 1: cannot wait for the rain of m JF. This is
Speaker 1: a huge weekend for wrestling, and it was a great
Speaker 1: week for wrestling. I can't wait Saturday and Sunday. I
Speaker 1: will be watching wrestling at home in Los Angeles with
Speaker 1: your boy Freddie. Yeah, I'll let's watch it together. All right, dude,
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch professional wrestling together this week. And I'm
Speaker 1: so a stand up comedian who's finally home for well,
Speaker 1: it's a perfect coincidence, and it's a you know, the
Speaker 1: clash at the Castle in l A. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: do our breakout matches. These are predictions for who has
Speaker 1: a chance to steal the show, and I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: something out there at everybody. I'm gonna actually flip it
Speaker 1: up and go Ricky Starks versus Will Hobbs. I feel
Speaker 1: they're gonna know their story was rushed. I think even
Speaker 1: in his promos where he said things like I'll only
Speaker 1: give forty five seconds to tell you how I feel
Speaker 1: about this, I think they know their time is going
Speaker 1: to be limited and they're gonna do everything they can
Speaker 1: to steal the show. So that's my prediction for breakout
Speaker 1: match of the weekend, Freaky Starts versus Will Hobbs. What
Speaker 1: say you, Jeff Dot, I gotta go with the Jericho
Speaker 1: Brian and I think I think there's so a lot
Speaker 1: of question marks with what's going to happen there and
Speaker 1: that stuff. I think that's my breakout match. My honorable
Speaker 1: mention is Jungle Boy Christian Cage and make crazy prediction
Speaker 1: that Christian Cage ends it with a nut shot that
Speaker 1: the referee does not see and then he gets him
Speaker 1: with the Finnish shirt and put them down. And if
Speaker 1: that happens, oh what are when are we gonna start
Speaker 1: calling that that China you know, the low blow for
Speaker 1: the wind when the ref's not looking, and went, Jeff,
Speaker 1: fight with your balls once they're once they're attacked like that.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I must have got hitting
Speaker 1: the nuts every single week, sometimes two or three times
Speaker 1: a week. Now is a growing up. I haven't got
Speaker 1: hitting the nuts in a long time. Bro. I was
Speaker 1: running home from the park one time. It was raining
Speaker 1: and I had a diamondback BMX bicycle and I jumped
Speaker 1: off a curb and the pedals were wet, and both
Speaker 1: feet slipped off the pedals and I smashed my balls
Speaker 1: right on the crossbar, took a cider over onto the curb,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it was fifteen minutes of paralyzing
Speaker 1: pain and another good ten minutes of just recovering from
Speaker 1: shame and humiliation. As every car that drove by, I
Speaker 1: was like, are you okay? And I'm like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm okay, Please let me alone. A good thirty five
Speaker 1: minutes of pain and shame before I mustard the energy
Speaker 1: to get angry. I'm angry at the bike and then
Speaker 1: finally right home. So ball shots for the win. That's
Speaker 1: the moral of today's show. Yeah the China myself, that's yeah,
Speaker 1: your bike chinat you? That's right. Follow us on our
Speaker 1: official show accounts on Instagram Wrestling with Freddie that's one word,
