Franklin, Doctor Trey. What is up,

7
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:49.759
my friend? Oh? Just like
we're talking about fair the other day?

8
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.560
Upright the other day vertical Uh,
blue skies. Birds are chirping.

9
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.000
I got my Jeff. I put
out a bird bath. I didn't.

10
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:00.920
I never thought I'd be the guy
who would get excited about putting a bird

11
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.120
bath in his yard. But yes, there I am. I'm excited that

12
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.920
I have a bird bath. Is
this what I have to look forward to

13
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:11.560
after the age of like forty?
Yeah? Pretty much Like I just got

14
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:12.640
home. I had to I had
to run up to the office, and

15
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.120
I got back to the house just
a few minutes ago. As I'm driving,

16
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.200
I'm like, oh, I get
my grass needs cutting. I get

17
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:22.439
to cut my grass. Today or
today or tomorrow. I'm like, yeah,

18
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:25.400
I'm definitely the old man now that's
yelling at clouds because I'm like,

19
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:26.439
I got a bird bath, I
get to cut my grass. Is a

20
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.319
damn good week for me. Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's guess it's

21
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.760
the little things, right that make
us excited, or finding that a good

22
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.719
deal at the grocery store is what
happens after the age of I guess thirty

23
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:42.280
five and up, because it's pretty
much yeah, they say, they say

24
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:44.760
it's all downhill, but really it's
like no, no, no, Like

25
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.480
all the dumb stuff that we did
when we were in our twenties and eight,

26
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:49.319
you look back and you're like,
yeah, that was fun. I

27
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.879
would never do any of that stuff
now. Although my wife and I were

28
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.280
talking last night and I said,
hey, when I turned fifty, I'm

29
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:00.640
going skydiving. So that's that's my
next big thing is hearing about now four

30
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.920
years is to gho skydike. Yeah. I don't know, man, I

31
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:06.760
don't know if I could do the
skydive thing, which is strange coming from

32
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.879
a guy who's a firefighter and we'll
go up on heights for climbing ladders and

33
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.000
roofs and all that, But I'm
not I'm not a fan of the whole

34
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:16.360
height thing. My friend, I
don't think I could jump out of a

35
00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:20.599
plane. No, I'm not a
So that's where they're like, I hate

36
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.680
ladders. I hate anything where I
can't control my fall like that. I

37
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:29.680
don't have a fear of heights.
I have a fear of my stupidity causing

38
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.439
me to fall. And I think
in a controlled environment, I'm okay with

39
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.680
it because I get me on top
of a thirty story building and look over

40
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:38.080
the edge and I'm fine. But
like, if I'm climbing a ladder to

41
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.199
get on a roof, I'm like, I'm gonna step off and flip and

42
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:45.599
fall and break my hip. So
I think it's the control involved, is

43
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:47.800
why why I'm kind of okay with
it. I love that. To you,

44
00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:53.360
there's more control jumping out of like
a thirty thousand foot plane than there

45
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:57.680
is climbing your roof to clean your
gutters or something. Well, once again,

46
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.280
I work in the gutter business,
so you shouldn't be cleaning out your

47
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.560
gutters. You should call me and
I can get you taken care of on

48
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:05.240
that. There you go, cheap
plugs, right, give the thumbs up

49
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:07.560
while you're doing it, mc foley
style. So uh yeah, you know,

50
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.759
it's the little things in life.
Bird baths, wrestling podcasts, uh,

51
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.919
sunny days uh not the wrestler um. Yeah, stuff like that.

52
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.840
You know. I guess this for
those that are under the age of thirty

53
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:23.319
five, this is what you have
to look forward to. Is by listening

54
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.800
to two old guys still talking about
profession wrestling. We get excited about cutting

55
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:32.919
grass and installing that bird bath to
watch you know, Robin just just devour

56
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:37.919
water and get all nice and cool. Oh I got I got happy day

57
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:39.840
pulling in my dryway because we have
these baby pigs running around my yard.

58
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.319
I was like, is that an
armor, dello? And I'm like,

59
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.800
no, it's just one of my
pigs. Like I never thought of the

60
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.919
guy that excited watching baby pigs and
ducks run around his yard. So that's

61
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.120
another thing you can add to the
list. All right, Hey, added

62
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:54.400
we'll have to do this like running
thing now where how you could tell you're

63
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.240
old. And it's just things that
we just ramble off on. It's like,

64
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.400
uh, you know that late night
infomercial. Yeah, when you make

65
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.639
that phone call to buy that heated
blanket. Oh man, that makes me

66
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:09.240
so happy. He awaited blankets.
Fantastic. See, so we're talking about,

67
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:11.680
folks, this is what we're talking
about. We'll do a shopping list

68
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:16.639
towards Christmas time. Speaking at Christmas
time, typically around that time frame,

69
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.199
the week before in between Christmas and
New Year's we always do our award show,

70
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:27.439
and we typically around July fourth time
frame, we look at the halfway

71
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.600
point of the year and we give
some early award show candidates. We don't

72
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:33.000
name out awards, We just give
some candidates and we'll pick it back up

73
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.920
and in December when we announced the
winners. Being that where we're a week

74
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:45.079
earlier than normal from this because I
got married this past weekend. These shows

75
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:49.600
have been recorded in advanced in advance
of my wedding. So even if there's

76
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.199
some stuff that you hear today,
maybe a little bit outdated, maybe some

77
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.759
stuff that's outdated on the money,
the bank side of things. That is

78
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.959
why, and that is also why
we are not recap and reviewing Forbidden Door

79
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.000
from this past weekend as well.
We will do that on next week's Editions

80
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:06.759
show when we're back in air.
Quotes normal, our normal timeframe. The

81
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.920
same thing with money to the bank, so we'll recap review of Money in

82
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.399
the bank as well. But I
figured, well, we got a little

83
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.199
bit of time, let's do some
of that special show stuff that made us

84
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:19.480
in the early stages in the early
era of SRT that we like to do

85
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.160
a lot, and this is one
of those shows that we typically do.

86
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.160
So we'll go through the award show
categories here, Doctor Trey, and we'll

87
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.639
look at some candidates here, and
I think the best way to start off

88
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.920
is with the first award show category
that we typically give out, and that

89
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:41.639
is New Story of the Year.
Some candidates I have is Vitzikman returning to

90
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:46.800
WWE and basically staging a coupe rumors
of a potential w sale to the Saudi

91
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:51.360
Arabia Public Investment Fund, Light the
Internet on Fire, WWE actually get sold

92
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:57.639
to endeavor the owners of the UFC
aw announcing new Saturday Collision Show and the

93
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.920
cmpunk drama overshining the Saturday Collision announcement. So I had about five candidates there

94
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.519
when looking back at the the year
here at the halfway point, Yeah,

95
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:11.680
those are those are probably my top
five as well, and really like Vince

96
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.959
coming back. I didn't think anything
gets top to that, but then you

97
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.920
know the company getting sold right up
there with it, the collision, you

98
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:19.879
know, the new show being a
noun and then also you doing not only

99
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:26.519
that, but then you know AW
getting rid of elevation and dark in favor

100
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.839
of a ring of honor YouTube show. Like that's kind of weird, but

101
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.120
uh like right out top of my
head, those are the top top few

102
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:38.519
I could think of. And then
looking at breakout Star of the Year,

103
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:42.759
I have about three candidates, two
from WA, one from AW. Right

104
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.639
now, I have Dominic Masterio from
Raw, Damian Priest from Raw Orange,

105
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:54.959
Cassidy from AW. Let's see dom
I'm with Damien with Orange. It is

106
00:06:54.959 --> 00:07:00.199
he bigger now than when he was
chating with Jericho? Yeah, I mean

107
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.120
that's a great question. I felt
like him feuding with Jericho back in twenty

108
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:09.519
twenty was kind of circumstance and they
wanted to develop him as as a big

109
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.560
star, and being that the pandemic
was going on, he didn't. He

110
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:18.480
wasn't able to absorb the fanfare that
could go around that. I think this

111
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.800
International Championship run, I think he's
bigger. To answer your question. I

112
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:27.839
do think he's bigger now and has
broken up from that, but then they

113
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.079
don't put him in the four pillar
map. Yeah, which is Lord Chris.

114
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:34.480
I mean, if you actually look
at where those everybody is right now,

115
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:38.240
I would say that Orange is probably
a bigger He's definitely a bigger star

116
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.319
than Jungle Boy, you know.
And then arguably, like you know,

117
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:45.399
the Sammy had been booked pretty well
for a while leading into that match,

118
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.000
I would have had Orange and there
were you know, either one of those

119
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:50.680
two. So um, so I
can get behind the Orange Cassidy because he's

120
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:55.000
definitely gone up another level. I
think you got through. J Uso went

121
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:58.120
in the mix too. That's a
good one. I'm gonna have that right

122
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.759
now, jay Uso, because I
mean, depending on what happened, you

123
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.600
know, as we recording the show
early, what happened in light in the

124
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.920
bank, I mean, it might
be Roman and Jay a SummerSlam, and

125
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.879
if they do that, that's gonna
really put once again put them up on

126
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:13.879
that map on a different level.
Yeah. Yeah, I like that addition

127
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.560
there. I feel like right now, that's the name I did not consider.

128
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:22.120
I think I think Dominic Masterio and
Jay Usso could be the favorites right

129
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.000
now for breakout start of the year. I mean I think it's I think

130
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.240
it's Dom considering where he was at, what he's what he's done in the

131
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.679
last year is on a different level. I mean, he's got like such

132
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.120
nuclear eats. I mean it's so
good right now, so like Dom's really

133
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.240
really the early onto the table.
But then again, like I said,

134
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.480
depends on what happens with Jay and
then you know, heck, in six

135
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.200
months, I mean, if we
had a good Orange Cassidy mjfud to close

136
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.600
out the year, it might jump
Orange Cassidy back up the mix. Yeah,

137
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:54.320
yeah, very true. But I
think I guess I think we've narrowed

138
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:56.279
it down to those four. I
can't. I don't feel like there's anybody

139
00:08:56.279 --> 00:09:00.360
else that is standing out to me. I don't know if I Carmel Hayes

140
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.679
jumps into there from the NXC side
of things, yes, and no,

141
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.840
I just think it's on it's I
don't want to say it's on a lower

142
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:13.600
level. But you know what Dom
and Jay and Damian Priests and Orange Cats

143
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.080
you're doing on the big stages,
it is still a little bit higher,

144
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.639
like a higher plane than what Carmelo's
doing in NXC. I mean you also

145
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.200
that if you look at ANXCA,
then you have to go Tiffany Stratton then

146
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.919
mix two because he's come a long
way. Yeah, I think some names

147
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:31.480
that we could add over the next
six months. I would consider Tiffany Stratton

148
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.279
in there. And I just think
that Chris Statlander's stock is pretty interesting right

149
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:39.000
now. Yeah, I mean to
and to do what they did with having

150
00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:43.639
her defeat Jade and in the streak, and then if they can build off

151
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.080
of it, great. You know, it's just what you're dealing with.

152
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.799
And I don't want to say that
the the TBS Championship is lower than the

153
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:58.200
women's championship in aw SO, um
unless they can elevator into that feud with

154
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:03.600
you know, the outcast than everybody
else and just it's there. But like

155
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.600
I mean, she'd be I think
she don't. She's maybe a notch above

156
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:11.120
Tiffany Stratton, but I don't think
she's in the top four with the other

157
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:15.519
people you mentioned. Sore you go
some of the candidates there for breakout Star

158
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.120
of the Year, Like the discussion
there about some stock on the rise for

159
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.360
the last six months of this year, moment of the year. This were

160
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.120
this was a pretty tough one.
Um. I have Sammy Zaine turning on

161
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.799
the Bloodline at the Royal Rumble.
I have brock Lesser turning Hell and Cody

162
00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.799
Roads at the RAF to WrestleMania.
I can't believe that's on this list.

163
00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.399
After we originally discussed that, I
got Jimmy Uso turned on the Bloodline and

164
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:43.840
Night of Champions Juso turning on the
Bloodline on SmackDown recently to me right now,

165
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.879
I think the odds on favor to
Sammy Saints moment at the Royal Rumble.

166
00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.480
But is there anything that that you
would add to this list, doctor

167
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:56.759
Trey um Man? Really? Really? I mean, do you put the

168
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.120
logan Ricochet logan Paul Ricochet spot from
the Rumble in there as a moment of

169
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:05.279
the year if you feel it should
be. I personally wouldn't. I think

170
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:09.360
that's more of a spot. Once
again, the ones that you've made,

171
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:13.039
well, it's a moment. A
moment is a spot. It's so fair.

172
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.960
That's that's my my thought process on
it. I don't. I mean,

173
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:18.960
it's not up there with the with
all the turns on the Bloodline.

174
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.720
Um. Yeah, Sammy's the early
odds on favorite. But then, I

175
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.720
mean, and we talked about it
on last week's show, like the fact

176
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.440
they kind of put the Jimmy and
the Jay turns so close together kind of

177
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:37.159
diminishes it a little bit. Um, maybe Adam Cole coming, you know,

178
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.320
making his finally returning to aws up
there, because that was a big

179
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:43.240
moment because he'd been gone for so
long, and yeah, that wasn't the

180
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.840
beginning of this year like that,
you know, immediately gets jumped up into

181
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.960
the Few with Jericho and then the
few you know, the beginning of the

182
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.559
Few with him JF that we have
going on. Um, that's that's about

183
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.399
all the ones I can think of? Are you adding the logan Ricochet?

184
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.200
I was there? I mean,
because that might have been the biggest,

185
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.639
the craziest spot we've seen, Like
I mean, I've only seen that like

186
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.759
a handful of times in wrestling.
That was all in the Independence. I've

187
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:15.399
never seen it on a big stage. Um, but yeah, to me,

188
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:18.360
it's it's the it's the turns we
mentioned, and then Adam Cole's returned

189
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.399
because once again because we're both Adam
colmarked, so you know that's up there.

190
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.840
Event of the year. I have
wrestle Many thirty nine, the Royal

191
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:33.320
Rumble and Backlash as my favorite shows
this year. Are we splitting WrestleMania again

192
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.159
this year? We did combined it. We did combine it up for the

193
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:41.919
last couple of years, So okay, Yeah, I mean those are my

194
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.200
top three as well. And there's
no AW show that I could think of

195
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:50.080
right now, right No, I
think I think we've we've looked at our

196
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.000
I mean, if you look at
the numbers, I think all the AW

197
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.279
shows are below those three. Yeah, so we've got AW Revolution It.

198
00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.039
I gave it a four point two. You give its three point nine AW

199
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:03.759
double or nothing. I gave a
three point six, you gave a three

200
00:13:03.799 --> 00:13:07.399
point seven. Rumble came in at
four point three three, you give it

201
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:11.799
a four point two. Russell Mania
Saturday I gave a four point eight,

202
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.360
you gave a four point seven.
Sunday I gave a four point four.

203
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.679
You gave a four point two.
Backlash. We both gave a four point

204
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.919
two. So the closest would be
my rating and Revolution. Yeah, and

205
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:31.039
Revolution. I don't mean outside of
Danielson MGF, I don't. I don't

206
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:35.279
remember much from it. I gotta
be honest. So yeah, I think

207
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.200
I think the ones we mentioned there, I think I think Rumble, uh

208
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.039
Mania and Backlash. I mean,
the last three pay per views have been

209
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:48.240
really, really good and kind of
blown everything else out of water. Right

210
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.000
now, it's three hard, It's
be hard for anything else. I mean

211
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.600
SummerSlam obviously we put they put a
lot into Um, it's gonna be hard

212
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:56.919
for anything else the rest of the
year to kind of catch up to those

213
00:13:58.000 --> 00:13:58.559
three. Yeah, that's what I
was gonna ask you. I mean,

214
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.840
it's it's dificult to predict, like, oh well, I think this event

215
00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:05.399
is going to be a badass,
um, but is there anything in the

216
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:07.159
near term. I mean, I
agree with you. Summer Slam in Detroit

217
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:11.600
Ford Field, it's probably gonna be
a blast. Uh. I think money

218
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:16.159
in the bank this Saturday is going
to be a lot of fun on the

219
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.840
Wembley Show all in Yeah, Yeah, there's me be a lot writing on

220
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.440
that show. So the Wembley Show
especially, I mean we're getting Omega Osprey

221
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.840
Osprey in Wembley Stadium fighting Omega.
That's I mean, the crowd is going

222
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:31.960
mean nuts for that. That's what
we're assuming, right, I mean that's

223
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.919
an assumption right now. Yeah,
I mean, but I mean what I

224
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.080
mean if you're if you're running the
company, wouldn't that be one of your

225
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.759
marquee matchups to have the hometown boy
fighting Kitty Omega. I mean that was

226
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.159
well. I mean the marquee matchup
I would do for all In would be

227
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.720
CMFTR versus the elite. I like
how you combine that whole? That's what

228
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.600
they're calling themselves now real, I
didn't I miss that? Okay, yeah,

229
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:58.559
they got the T shirt. I
mean to me, I liked that'd

230
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:05.279
be great for Wembley. But at
the same time, like like you want

231
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.679
that Cardiff moment like you had with
Shamus and you had with Drew, because

232
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:11.679
I mean, to have that many
people, you gotta get a home you

233
00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:16.279
gotta get a hometown guy. I
mean, what are you bring poc back

234
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:20.159
to challenge Cassidy? I mean,
like they don't have a ton of I

235
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.559
mean, they're not a ton of
British guys on their roster right now.

236
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:26.480
I mean keep Sabian challenging MJF.
You know, like what do you what

237
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.080
do you do? So if you
want to capitalize on that feel good moment,

238
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.759
you gotta put Osprey. I mean, they might do well Osprey and

239
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
MJFF, who knows. I mean, but you got to capitalize on that

240
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.519
crowd. It's like, you know, if if WB was a show in

241
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:45.600
Tokyo, You're gonna have Nakamura in
a feature spot. It's just the way

242
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.759
it works. Moving along here a
few to the year. So some candidates

243
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.759
I have, I have Zane and
Owens taken on the bloodline, the entire

244
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.320
blood line, Cody Rhodes and brock
Lessner, which we talked about at length

245
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.799
a couple of weeks ago, Ray
Mysterio versus Dominic Mysterio, and the Elite

246
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.159
versus the Blackpool Combat Club from AW. Those are some few of the years,

247
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:08.519
and there's really been no slam dunk. I would say no. I

248
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:14.080
mean, if you did Sammy versus
the Bloodline, maybe you can go that

249
00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:15.799
route. But it really has been
I mean, because Olmen's was shouting with

250
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.440
him first and then Sammy, and
then Sammy and Kevin together. I'm trying

251
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:26.320
to think if there's anything else,
Like, I mean, AW really hasn't

252
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.320
had the marquee feuds other than the
one you mentioned with the I mean,

253
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.600
I mean, you know, what
what's funny is just take a step back,

254
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.600
because you made a great point,
Like you could make a point that

255
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.879
Sammy Zane and the Bloodline is feud
of the year their stuff, and then

256
00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:45.600
they added Kevin Owens. I think
you can make a case that Moxley and

257
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:48.639
Hangman Adam Page is a few of
the year for AW so far, even

258
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:53.159
though it started last year. But
that also morphed into the Elite versus the

259
00:16:53.200 --> 00:17:00.320
Blackpool Combat Club. Yeah, I
mean I'm trying to think like like those

260
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.119
could still be like the one A
one beast for those feuds. Yeah,

261
00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:07.000
but I do think the second half
of the year we're prime for I mean,

262
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.200
MJF really hasn't had a long feud
with anybody, you know what happens

263
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:19.519
with Roman and Jay and Jimmy,
what about Seth. I mean you've got

264
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.160
there's some options on the table at
least, Yeah, the second half of

265
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.240
the year, so that this is
one of those ones where like early we

266
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:32.640
mentioned like it's gonna be hard for
anything at top the WrestleMania Grumble backlash shows

267
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.680
the rest of the year, but
it's also gonna be hard for I mean

268
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:38.759
not hard. It should be easier
for a feud to jump into the mix

269
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.119
and the second half of the year
given that they I mean, Sammy and

270
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:47.559
the blood lines we hard to top, but you know, really it just

271
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.960
kind of depends on how far you
go down the family civil war within the

272
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.200
blood line. The second half of
the year. Yeah, I mean,

273
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.200
looking at some of the tea leaves
right now, Adam Cole versus MJFF has

274
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:03.200
a ton of potential seampunk. His
Collision promo teased feuding with MJF again because

275
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.920
he never lost the championship. That
could be back in there if they decided

276
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.960
to go to the punk MJF route
for an all in. Who knows,

277
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:17.799
maybe coming off a forbidden door this
past weekend, maybe Brian Danielson because because

278
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:22.720
the Chico Okata could be something in
there. But there's been really no true

279
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:26.680
slam duncan. I feel like by
the end of the like ray Masterio and

280
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.400
Dominic Masterio, we really haven't discussed. Like I thought, that was really

281
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:34.640
good feud and it ended basically at
WrestleMania, bled a little bit into backlash,

282
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:37.839
but I think by the time we
get to December this year, that'll

283
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:45.160
be forgotten about. I think the
favorite right now maybe I think it maybe

284
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:48.519
Zane and Owens versus the Bloodline or
Cody and Brock, depending on how that

285
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:52.720
goes for the rest of the summer. Yeah, and then he still got

286
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:57.680
the CMTR and the Elite cross Paths
and anyway, because if that happens,

287
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.279
that'll be jump up because you get
all the backstory intrigue as well. So

288
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:07.440
that's why I'm saying it's like,
you know, Zane and the Bloodlines to

289
00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:12.519
me the early favorite, but if
you get Punk, Omega FTR, you

290
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.000
know in the Bucks all mixed together, that could really jump up quickly.

291
00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:19.759
Just looking at the history, the
last two feud of the Years from me

292
00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:25.799
were in last year was Punk and
m jeffrom AW. The year prior was

293
00:19:25.880 --> 00:19:29.480
Jericho and mjffrom a w for you. Last year, Doctor Trey, it

294
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.759
was Cody and Seth from WA,
then Jericho and MGF from AW in twenty

295
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:37.640
twenty one. I always felt like, or have felt like since it launched,

296
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:44.359
that feuds were a staple for all
lad wrestling, and I think that

297
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.559
they've they've kind of lost that way
a little bit. That disappoints me.

298
00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:51.720
I love those long, long term
feuds that they've that they've done in the

299
00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.000
past, and I think the closest
thing we've gotten is that Elite Blackpool Combat

300
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:59.680
Club. They still got six months
to salvage it if they want to throw

301
00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.759
a few in there at some point, but I feel like that's something that's

302
00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.480
been missing from AW lately. I
felt like a Few of the Year was

303
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.759
like an AW owned category for for
some time on this podcast. Yeah,

304
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:12.039
I mean, really, the only
thing I could think of an AW this

305
00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:17.000
year is Danielson and MJF. Yeah, you know, and that was short.

306
00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:19.000
That was a short one, but
you know, that was something we

307
00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.039
talked about. MJF kind of needed, but that was it was short because

308
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:26.839
they turned Daniels and Eel right after
it, so you didn't get to see

309
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.160
a play out anymore. I mean, really, MJFF hasn't had that.

310
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.559
That's the thing, Like you look
at yours, the last two fews involved

311
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.240
MJFF. He really hasn't done anything
long term so far this year, So

312
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.720
I don't know if they're building to
something for him or something big on the

313
00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:45.880
pipeline. But you know, you've
got to have a great talker sometimes for

314
00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.960
these fews to really play out,
and you know they're kind of not using

315
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.880
MJF in that role right now,
what about Omega and Takashka slash don Callis,

316
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:56.519
Do you think that has some potential
for a few of the years stuff?

317
00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:03.319
It has potential because Callus has so
much heat right now, but like

318
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.559
once again, it's kind of hit
and miss, so it kind of depends

319
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:10.160
on how like right now, like
you know, we're talking about Forbidden Door,

320
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.680
it's Omega and Osprey and then you
know, you start heading towards the

321
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:18.119
whimbley shows, like are they going
to do Omega and you know, Takashita

322
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.759
there or are they saving it for
something else? Because at some point you

323
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.880
have to kind of build off of
it, and I know right now they're

324
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:32.759
trying to build Takashita up more to
make it be credible when they finally square

325
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.440
off. But you know, are
you losing a little bit the luster the

326
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:40.720
longer this goes until they finally touch
Yeah, it's interesting. It's still no

327
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:44.039
slam dunks, which is great for
the rest of the year, but we'll

328
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:45.799
see by the end of this year
if it's like, well, that was

329
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:48.880
a tough one to call. There
really wasn't many feuds and that's what makes

330
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.960
Resting so great. I felt like
its feuds and storylines, and there's really

331
00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:56.920
been none in the short amount of
time recently that have really stood out.

332
00:21:56.960 --> 00:22:02.119
There have been some good good stuff
right and the Bloodline was fantastic. Rhodes

333
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:04.599
and Lesner has been fantastic, but
that's kind of on on ice right now.

334
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.599
Ray MASTERI and dominic Masterio is behind
us. Elite in Blackpool Combat Club

335
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.240
have done some really good stuff,
but it's not the normal AW feuds that

336
00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:18.279
were typical typically used to so a
category certainly to keep it. Keep an

337
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:21.839
eye on here for the rest of
twenty twenty three, because it'll be December

338
00:22:21.839 --> 00:22:26.319
before we know it, and we'll
be talking about actual winners the next time

339
00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:30.880
we look at these categories. Next
category here is matched the year. Some

340
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:34.680
candidates I have is Rita Ripley versus
Charlotte Flair from Resume at thirty nine,

341
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:41.079
gun Through versus Shamus versus Drew McIntyre
from Resume Any thirty nine, Bianco Bellair

342
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.799
versus EO Sky from Backlash, MJF
versus Brian Danielson from AW Revolution, And

343
00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:51.920
despite my disdain for them pushing this
down our throats, I'm gonna throw in

344
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.599
MJF, Sammy Gavara, Darby Allen
Jungle Boy from aw Double or Nothing.

345
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:03.359
I know, I know that was
a good fatal four way. I still

346
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:07.160
throw in Kevin and Sammy versus the
USOS as well. I really enjoy um

347
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.440
trying to think, I mean,
those are the ones off the top of

348
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:17.720
my head, I really, I
mean trying to think if there's anything else

349
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:22.559
that kind of jumps up in that
category. But I loved Ray Masterio versus

350
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.599
Dominic was teried Restument thirty nine.
Yeah, but it got overshadowed so much

351
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:30.759
by you know, the other matches, like I mean, Ria and Charlotte,

352
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.000
Kevin, you know, and then
Kevin Sammy and the USOS to me

353
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.519
were two better matches than that one. So that's why I kind of gets

354
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:41.839
not pushed to the side, but
you know, almost kind of like,

355
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.319
yeah, that was great too,
But did you see Rha and Charlotte?

356
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.279
Did you see Owen's in Zane in
the Bloodline? So Rollins and Logan Paul

357
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:53.039
was really good from and then even
though people hated the finish, Cody and

358
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.599
Roman was really good. It was
that was a very good match, yes,

359
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:02.400
so um and then even Damien Priests
and Bad Bunny at Backlash. That

360
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:06.480
was a good match. Yeah.
So I mean there's there's several candidates,

361
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:08.640
so it's just there's some of these
matches you want me add to the list.

362
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.599
I added Kevin Owens to Sammy's Da
Versus of Theosis to the list.

363
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.079
Definitely that one. I mean the
Bad Bunny Damien pres was just so much

364
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:18.880
fun. You want me to add
that, I would, all right,

365
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:25.519
let's out, it's that's up there. Um, But then I'm trying to

366
00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:29.559
think. I mean m JF and
Danielson was really good too. Yeah.

367
00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:32.200
I had that on my list as
this as well. Yeah, so that's

368
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:36.160
on there. I don't think anything
any damis topped that one so far this

369
00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:38.640
year though, So just MJFF and
Danielson, you're saying, yeah, yeah,

370
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.799
yeah, I would. I would
agree. I would put I put

371
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:48.000
the fatal four away behind that match. Um, I felt like Danielson MJFF

372
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:52.319
was pretty good too. Yeah.
So all right, match of the Year

373
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.759
candidates. And then you know,
as we look forward here towards the rest

374
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:57.720
of the year, some matches that
have potential, like whatever Roman ends up

375
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:02.559
doing. I mean we have no
Roman Rains match on here, which is

376
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.119
kind of surprising. Um, you
gotta figure maybe Cody versus Brock at SummerSlam

377
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.599
if I end up going with that
bull rope match could be fallen on this

378
00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.480
list. Yeah. Actually no Cody
match on here as well, and he's

379
00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:18.759
one of my favorite in ring performers
right now. Um yeah, like I

380
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.400
said, like we're talking earlier,
if we have if we happen to get

381
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:25.200
a Punk Omega, you know,
obviously, if that, if that comes

382
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:29.599
to fruition and those guys perform at
the levels they're capable of, I mean

383
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.519
you could possibly get an FTR Bucks
match in there as well if those if

384
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.680
that comes to fruition. Um,
you know, if you get Jay and

385
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.920
Roman in SummerSlam or somehow you get
the Rock in Roman, like that might

386
00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:45.559
jump up the list a bit too. I mean, hell, we had

387
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.400
Match of the Year Lack a couple
of years ago, was you know Owens

388
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:52.240
in in um it's maybe Owens and
Steve Auston. So if you get the

389
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.400
Rock in Roman, you will get
the nostalgia. Plus you know, Romans

390
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.480
a fantastic worker. So yeah,
cool stuff, cool stuff ahead here,

391
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.119
So somebody to keep an eye on
for Match of the Year for the rest

392
00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:07.079
of twenty twenty three. Next category
is Tag Team of the Year. Some

393
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.240
candidates I have. I feel like
there's like this top tier, then it's

394
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.119
it's kind of everybody else, Um, Sammy's Andy, Kevin Owens, the

395
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.640
USO's FTR, and then kind of
the rest of the field. Um,

396
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:23.000
I put them below those three.
I just named that being the Guns and

397
00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:29.079
the Acclaimed for a w Yeah,
that's why I had to. I had

398
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:30.640
to claim, like you mentioned the
top three, and then I have the

399
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:36.960
Acclaimed fourth and the Guns fifth.
So, um, I'm trying to think

400
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:41.279
if there's anybody else, Like nobody
really in WWE has kind of jumped up,

401
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:44.480
even in even though they've done a
good job of the Tag teams division

402
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:48.799
lately. You could say Gallus Gallus
has been good. Yeah, you want

403
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.400
me to put them on the list. I mean they've had a strong run

404
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.160
as NXC Tag Team Champions. Yeah, Um, INDEPENDENT mean right now,

405
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.240
like there's you look at the tag
teams in NXC and like they've already beat

406
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.440
the Creed Brothers and pretty deadly is
on the main roster right now. So

407
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.480
I mean they could have these belts
for the next six months and I wouldn't

408
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.599
be surprised. Is there any other
tag teams that come to mind? Because

409
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.160
I actually want to go back to
a category because as we were doing the

410
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:15.000
show, I was like, oh
man, I think we forgot some people.

411
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.839
Uh no, I'm good. So
if we go back to Breakout Starr

412
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.960
of the Year, I have two
names I want to add and Jack Well,

413
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:26.319
we'll discuss this openly here. Let
me know if you think we should

414
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:33.440
add these names. So Breakout Star
of the Year, La Night. There's

415
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.039
someone that stock is on the rise
that you're like, all right, keep

416
00:27:36.079 --> 00:27:38.279
an eye on them. Yeah,
his stocks on the rise. He's still

417
00:27:38.359 --> 00:27:44.319
having to recover from the bray Wyatt
stuff. Fair, fair, It depends

418
00:27:44.359 --> 00:27:47.200
on it depends on the money in
the bank performance. So like a Chris

419
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.640
stat Lander, we're saying stocks on
the rise for La Knight potentially for that

420
00:27:49.759 --> 00:27:56.119
category, and then go ahead.
I would say stat Landers would be higher

421
00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.119
to me than La Knight because she
actually won something interesting. But I mean,

422
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:06.720
nobody is getting that sincere pop like
La Night is I feel like right

423
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:11.720
now, no, he's fun and
people love fun, so um, but

424
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.880
like how like I don't know,
like if he if he were to fight

425
00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.799
Roman. If they would say,
hey, Friday Night, I SmackDown La

426
00:28:19.920 --> 00:28:23.319
Night Roman rights, right, would
anybody buy in that La n I had

427
00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:26.279
a chance. Yeah, And that's
what I just don't think he's got to

428
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:33.519
that level of credibility yet where he's
looked at as a viable competitor for a

429
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.920
main event picture type thing. I
don't want to give away too much of

430
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.480
my predictions right now, but I
just have a feeling that coming out of

431
00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:45.960
money the Bank heading into SummerSlam,
I wouldn't be surprised if they start to

432
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:49.400
turn La Night baby face and the
person that he fews with is Logan Paul.

433
00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:53.200
Like, if there's someone that can
turn La Night baby face, it's

434
00:28:53.359 --> 00:28:56.960
it's Logan Paul. Yeah, now
that that would make a ton of sense.

435
00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.759
That'd be fun. I mean,
Logan Paul's got like almost got the

436
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:07.799
dominant heat, but that could turn
you know, L A. Knight.

437
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:11.279
I don't. The only thing that
l. A. Knight is is kind

438
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.920
of like he's so likable as a
heel. It's kind of like that when

439
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:17.759
Miss had his really strong heel run, where you and I were like,

440
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:21.680
this is fantastic. This is the
best thing going right now. And then

441
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:25.119
they turned him baby face and it
just felt flat. I kind of I

442
00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:27.200
don't think you have to change him
all that much, to be honest with

443
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:32.200
you, Yeah, but they always
tinker a little too much. And that's

444
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:34.880
my only worries that they tinker too
much and he loses his coldness factor to

445
00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:38.799
it. It's kind of like the
Seth thing, like Seth's and then they

446
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.319
just let him. They let him
run and the baby face in it was

447
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.960
worked because they haven't changed anything about
it. Sometimes they start tinkering with it

448
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:51.000
or guys feel like they have to
do something different and it loses his coolness

449
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.640
factor to it. I think the
only thing would be that they're like,

450
00:29:53.400 --> 00:29:56.960
like La Night is going to go
through the Rocks blueprint for turning baby face

451
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:02.240
from ninety eight ninety nine. I
think it would be that's the closest thing

452
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:03.720
that is similar um and then just
the other name I want to add to

453
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:07.480
breakouts HARTHI year. Potentially we have
to have this as a as a team

454
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:14.359
meeting here. How do you feel
about Wesley nxt um or is he on

455
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.359
the cusp as he's someone has stocked
I like it. You know, Miley

456
00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.519
will worry about Wesley is always the
size, you know, like Canty,

457
00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.000
But dude, we love Dominic right
now. But Dominic's bigger than Wesley,

458
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:33.559
I mean Westley, I mean size
or popularity, actual size, because at

459
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:38.359
some point, like can you put
Wesley in the ring with broun Breaker and

460
00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:44.240
make it look like, make it
look like he's got a shot, you

461
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:47.759
know? I mean he's one hundred
and fifty five one hundred and sixty pounds

462
00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:51.960
tops, is he? Yeah?
Dude, I like he's he's five he's

463
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.759
like five eight one sixty like,
so he shredded. I mean it's literally

464
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.640
because I know the guy that I've
stood next to him, and when I

465
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:03.519
said actually him four years ago,
I had probably almost one hundred pounds well

466
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:07.279
probably close to like fifty pounds on
the guy and I was two inches dollar.

467
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:12.279
So it's just I love the kid. He's fantastic, The crowd loves

468
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:17.160
him. He's always gonna be that
perpetual underdog, and so it could work,

469
00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:19.640
but you would need him in a
few with braun Breaker to really make

470
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:22.160
him jump up to the next level, because you have to make it look

471
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:26.920
like there's he has no shot in
hell and somehow pulls it out, all

472
00:31:26.000 --> 00:31:29.799
right, So so someone to think
there. I feel like maybe La and

473
00:31:29.880 --> 00:31:33.640
I definitely has some potential. Maybe
maybe not with Wesley for the breakouts are

474
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:37.960
candidate, Yeah you're saying here,
he just I mean the feud with like

475
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.400
the few with Dijack was good,
but like if you had that feud with

476
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.200
Dijack and they had the last man's
standing match like Di Jack had with Dragonoff,

477
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.119
it's a different story. It's just
he's doing so many multi man matches

478
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.960
that he can sneak out victories,
but like you need to see him kind

479
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:59.400
of it's three. It's kind of
like the Cody Rose that we talked about

480
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:04.839
last year. He that one on
one big obstacle to overcome to really cement

481
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:09.279
everything and move them up the next
level. Let's look at next candidates here

482
00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:14.000
for female Wrestler of the Year.
So my candidates are Ria Ripley, Bianca

483
00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:20.519
Belair, Jamie Hayder. Do you
leave Tony Storm out just because she's part

484
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.720
of the group. I leave Tony
Storm out right now because I think she's

485
00:32:23.880 --> 00:32:29.000
she's building up per year. I
also leave Oscar out right now because I

486
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.000
feel like she's building up per year. I wouldn't be shocked if Tony or

487
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:37.920
Osca fall into those potential candidates for
the end of this year. I mean,

488
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.960
right now, for me, it's
Ria and everybody else exactly. I

489
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:45.759
think this is Ria Ripley's it's a
ward to lose. Yeah. What do

490
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:47.640
you think about Jamie Hayter though?
Do you think she falls in that you

491
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:54.240
know, strong candidate list, Yes, but it's it's a distant second,

492
00:32:54.440 --> 00:32:59.920
like I have her above Bianca right
now, and then also we don't know

493
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:02.640
how long she's gonna be out for
true, So like I mean, if

494
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:05.920
she's out, if it's if she's
back in a month and she has a

495
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:07.160
strong second half, she can jump
right back up there. But if she's

496
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:13.000
out three or four months, she's
gonna fall down the list. Um male

497
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.079
rest of the year some candidates,
I have I five of them, Roman

498
00:33:15.200 --> 00:33:21.519
Rains, Cody Rhodes, M JF. Gunther, and Sammy Zane. And

499
00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:25.279
I think this field is potentially wide
open. Again, I think Cody right

500
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:29.880
now is my favorite. But I
think this is a very open field.

501
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:32.319
See right now, Like I like, I have Seth like right up at

502
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.440
the very top. That's true.
I always forget Seth. Yeah, I

503
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.759
mean that's a guy who's actually won
this award twice from us. We don't

504
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:46.480
take it for granted sometimes, Um
damn. I'm trying to think if there's

505
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:49.880
anybody else I can really jump up
the list. I mean it kind of

506
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:52.480
depends on what they do. Is
probably like Daniels said, have the great

507
00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.759
match of MJF and if he has
a great match of the COATA, but

508
00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:59.119
then if he's constantly loot like do
like do wins and losses matter in this

509
00:33:59.240 --> 00:34:02.880
category to it? Agree? Because
I mean to a degree I think they

510
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.559
do. I mean it really matter. I mean, I mean, who

511
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:12.039
is Danielson in that vein I mean
vein of Male rest of the year right

512
00:34:12.079 --> 00:34:15.079
now? I don't think so unfortunately. Yeah, I just want to think

513
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.760
of people on a W side outside
because really, outside of MJF, nobody's

514
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:25.519
had a i mean strong run in
AW. I would argue Orange Cassidy,

515
00:34:25.559 --> 00:34:31.280
but that's where he goes into my
breakout star category. But he's also competing

516
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:35.480
against I don't want to say,
the lower tier of AW but definitely the

517
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:38.480
middle tier of AW. Yeah,
it's the workhorses, yeah, but like

518
00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:45.719
nobody in the upper level outside of
MJF and even MGF Wressell sparingly has had

519
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.840
a strong run. But that's the
Roman approach. You know. Roman has

520
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:55.079
a wrestsell of ton either, but
his presence overshadows everything. Yeah, to

521
00:34:55.159 --> 00:35:00.119
me, it's Cody Roman, Gunther, Seth, m JF and who else

522
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:04.599
did you mentioned? I meant,
well, I did not. I just

523
00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:07.280
said that he falls into my breakout. Sorry, I did, Roman,

524
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:09.760
Code, m Jeff gone through,
Sammy Zane. You added Seth, Freak

525
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:13.639
and Rollins to the list? Yeah, yeah, like really, that's that's

526
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:15.960
the top that I can think of. Yeah, and I think people on

527
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.719
the rise, I think obviously see
him Punk could be in this discussion by

528
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.960
the end of the year, um, depending on where he goes. Kenny

529
00:35:23.000 --> 00:35:27.400
Omega as always, John Moxley as
always. But I feel like those are

530
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:30.679
probably the top six right now,
at this halfway point of twenty and twenty

531
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:31.480
three. I can't think of anybody
else, to be honest with you.

532
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.800
So do you push Dominic down a
little bit because the win loss records are

533
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:40.920
not great for for what male wrestler
of the year. I mean, he's

534
00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:45.840
got more heat and gets a larger
crowd rerection than just about anybody else dom

535
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.719
does not. I don't put him
in male rest of the Year category.

536
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.360
By the way, how I think
he is he's a breakout star because that's

537
00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:57.960
somebody that we just did not think
would ever become who he has became becoming.

538
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:02.199
If if they if him and Cody
have a great match at Money in

539
00:36:02.239 --> 00:36:08.159
the Bank and Dominic somehow wins,
it's it's gonna push him up that ladder.

540
00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:15.480
Yeah, I just don't. I
don't think he's in the Roman Cody

541
00:36:15.639 --> 00:36:17.920
MGF got through, Sammy Z and
Seth Freak and Rollins category, you know.

542
00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:22.039
I mean, I think Finn Balor
and Damian Priest looking at Judgment Day

543
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:28.159
are higher on that list than he
is right now. Yeah, we'll see.

544
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:34.639
I'd actually put Dominic over Finn right
now. I think Finn had That's

545
00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:36.679
the one thing we talked about and
we'll bring it up when we talk about

546
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:39.159
the Money the Bank. Fin has
been kind of the guy who takes the

547
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:44.639
losses when Judgment Day loses. So, I mean, Damien took the pin

548
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:49.679
recently, which was surprising, but
I think they kind of spread that out

549
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:52.639
a little bit. I think I
think Finn's could be on the rise.

550
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:57.760
Um. Yeah, and the Finn
Edge stuff we actually failed to mention for

551
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.519
few to the year, and I
think maybe the way that ended and Edge

552
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.800
not beyond on television each week is
something that we've kind of forgotten about.

553
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:07.079
I mean, Edge and Finn Valor
was not a bad feud either. Yeah,

554
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.000
and that's one of those It's kind
of like a if you have a

555
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:12.079
fire and then the fire goes out
for a little bit, but then it

556
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:15.880
pops up somewhere else. That's what
it kind of reminds me of when it

557
00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.920
comes to a feud, and you
kind of understand that being you know,

558
00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:22.920
Fireman, True True rest in promotion
of the year. So we always spread

559
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.840
this out. So we look at
NXT, SmackDown and Raw as their own

560
00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:30.280
separate promotion because that's how they're booked. I know, right now we're the

561
00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:34.239
early infancy stages. There's a brand
new show for AW with Collision, and

562
00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:37.480
there's Dynamite. The belief is,
and maybe this has already been announced by

563
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.840
the time this podcast drops, that
there is going to be a brand split,

564
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:45.079
but for the purposes of this discussion
today, still keeping AW as its

565
00:37:45.159 --> 00:37:50.760
own soul promotion because we've not heard
if there is an actual brand split between

566
00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:53.599
the two. With that set for
me my rest in promotion of the year,

567
00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:58.639
I would put SmackDown one, Raw
two, and I don't think anybody

568
00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:02.280
else holds a candle to the wrest
of them unfortunately. Yeah, Like it's

569
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:05.719
it's a weird This is a weird
one for me, And it says because

570
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:12.000
you have the upper tier of what
SmackDown does, the bloodline stuff, but

571
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.840
then you have the depth of quality
on Raw. So it's kind of like

572
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.960
do you go for the star power
or do you go for the depth?

573
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:22.320
And like, right now, I
do think the bloodline storyline has helped elevate

574
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:29.920
Raw RB elevate SmackDown above Raw,
but I think Raw has more compelling television

575
00:38:30.000 --> 00:38:34.400
the entire course of the show than
SmackDown does. So I still have SmackDown

576
00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.599
slightly ahead of Raw, and then
I have AW coming in third rate.

577
00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:43.480
Um, and then finally our STU
Wrestler of the Year. Um. You

578
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:45.960
know some of the names that we
had there was Roman Rains, Cody Rhodes,

579
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:52.119
MJF Gunther, Seth Freak and Rollins, Ria Ripley, Bianca Belair,

580
00:38:52.280 --> 00:38:55.079
Jamie Hayter. Those are some of
the candidates that we've had for them the

581
00:38:55.199 --> 00:39:00.559
two other categories for male and female
Wrestlers of the Year. For me,

582
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:02.519
Doctor Trey, Like, if it
was today, if somebody was like,

583
00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:06.320
all right, who's your srt U
Rush or the Year, I think I

584
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:09.159
would give it to Rea Ripley.
Yeah, it was coming down to Ria

585
00:39:09.280 --> 00:39:15.559
and Sammy for me. And I
think Sammy's lost a little steam since WrestleMania,

586
00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.719
which might pull him down a little
bit. Um. But yeah,

587
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.880
I have Riya, Sammy and in
Roman. It's kind of like my rankings

588
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:28.400
right now. I think I would
go Ria, Cody Roman. Yeah,

589
00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:31.079
I think I think I think I
would put Cody up there ahead of sam

590
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:37.000
and Roman as well. I mean, and I love I think's been great.

591
00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.199
I guess if you go off the
actual timeline, because I'm still I

592
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.119
guess in my head, I'm still
counting elimination Chamber into the mix. Yeah,

593
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:45.920
no, no, count everything in
there, count the whole first year.

594
00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:50.639
Yeah, if you go from January, which is the rumble through now,

595
00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:55.280
yeah, maybe Cody jumps ahead of
Sammy there for me, so I

596
00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.760
can see that point. I would
that I would probably go Ria, Roman,

597
00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:06.039
Cony Sammy. Yeah, but we
both agree that Rhea is the favor

598
00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.719
right now, which is fantastic.
I mean, she's getting a bigger response

599
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:13.039
than anybody is, and she's a
heel and she's getting cheered in most venues

600
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:15.800
right now. It's crazy how popular
she is. Yeah, no, it's

601
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.199
it's it's really really cool to see
and I'm very very happy for and she

602
00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:22.840
deserves that that recognition right now.
So if this was if this was what

603
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:25.960
the hell is the last Thursday in
December this year, and let's say,

604
00:40:27.039 --> 00:40:30.000
folks stand by last Thursday, last
show the year is supposed to be on

605
00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:34.960
December the twenty eighth, If this
was December twenty eighth, twenty twenty three,

606
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:37.760
Doctor Try and I both would be
given her SRT rest of the year

607
00:40:37.840 --> 00:40:42.199
to read Ripley right now. So
yeah, massive props her. She's had

608
00:40:42.199 --> 00:40:45.719
a phenomenal year and hopefully he continues
that way for the rest of this year.

609
00:40:45.679 --> 00:40:49.719
Um. All right, so there's
there's the halfway award show candidates.

610
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.000
Doctor Try not bad. I think
that was a lot of fun looking back

611
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:53.639
at the first six months of the
year. Yeah, I mean, people

612
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:57.719
get a little bit of a peak
behind our thought process when we do these

613
00:40:57.719 --> 00:41:00.920
award shows. So it was compelling
radio. If you want to get a

614
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:05.199
sneak peek into the mind of Jeff
Peck and Trey Franklin. Yeah, which

615
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.239
sometimes people really don't want to get
into. But that's how we are.

616
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.960
All right. Let's wrap this up
with our Money the Bank previewing predictions.

617
00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:15.440
It comes to us this Saturday from
the O two Arena in London, England.

618
00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:19.119
Let's start with the men's Money the
Bank Ladder match for a men's championship

619
00:41:19.119 --> 00:41:22.920
match. You of Ricochet, Shinski, Nakamura, La Night, Santos Escobar,

620
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:28.440
Butch Damian Priests and the newly added
Logan Paul. I'll go first,

621
00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:30.400
Doctor Trey. I kind of tip
my hand earlier. At one point I

622
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.719
thought it was gonna be La Night, but I'd set this feeling that maybe

623
00:41:32.840 --> 00:41:37.679
La and Night in Logan Paul is
a matchup that we may see at SummerSlam.

624
00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:43.239
I think Logan Paul's addition to this
match will add to something for SummerSlam.

625
00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.480
I think the closest could be La
Night. I think you could also

626
00:41:45.559 --> 00:41:50.800
make a case for Ricochet as well. But with that said, I had

627
00:41:50.840 --> 00:41:53.719
originally picked La and n I,
but I think I'm gonna go with Damian

628
00:41:53.760 --> 00:41:57.639
Priest to win the men's Money in
the Bank Ladder match, Doctor Trey,

629
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:01.880
So I'm gonna go with Damien Priest. Yeah. I've gone kind of back

630
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:06.280
and forth on this one, mainly
because you have a baby faced champion on

631
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.519
Raw and you still have a heel
champion SmackDown, and typically the heels usually

632
00:42:10.599 --> 00:42:15.960
win this, and if you're doing
an actual brand split, the best heel

633
00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:20.760
is on the show is Damian Priest, and I think that could cause some

634
00:42:21.000 --> 00:42:24.280
in fighting within the within judgment day. I mean, we've seen a little

635
00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:28.960
bit of alluding to that. So
I'm with you. I'm gonna lean Damian

636
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:34.440
Priests as well for money in the
Bank, although Damian Priest would be one

637
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.039
and then La Night would be two. So I'm with you on that Women's

638
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.039
Money in the Bank ladder match.
For a women's championship match, we have

639
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:45.159
Zelena Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoey
Stark, Bailey, or Shotzi. So

640
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.079
you can kind of see where we're
recording this podcast now an EO Sky Entra

641
00:42:50.199 --> 00:42:52.159
Stratus, Doc Trey, Let's start
with you. Who do you like winning

642
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.599
the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder
Match. Oh, this one's really really

643
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:01.920
tricky, um, because you once
again you have Heels technically Heels as the

644
00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:09.440
champions on both shows. So,
uh, I think I'm gonna take EO

645
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:15.360
Sky right now. Yeah, I'm
I'm I'm taking EO Sky because I think

646
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:17.880
Eo and Oscar would be really great, a really great match and then also

647
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:22.960
help elevate you know, the Japanese
performers on SmackDown. So I think I

648
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.159
think I'll lean EO Sky right now, and I'm gonna take EO Sky as

649
00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:28.400
well. Um. I looked at
this, I was like, what would

650
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.800
be a really fun matchup? Similar
thoughts at EO Sky Oscar would be a

651
00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:35.760
lot of fun. Who would most
benefit from winning this match? Whose stock

652
00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:38.360
is on the rise that's in this
match? And I feel like the person

653
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:44.039
with that would be EO Sky.
So I know EO Sky is a triple

654
00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:46.840
H girl. He likes her performances, as do I as a wrestling fan,

655
00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:50.679
So both of us going with EO
Sky to win the women's Money in

656
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.599
the Bank ladder match. Next match
is Cody Road taken on Dominic Masterio.

657
00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:58.960
I'll start Doctor Trey. You don't
have Cody in this match unless Brock was

658
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.719
making an appearance, it call the
match for him to take the l So

659
00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:07.760
I'm gonna take Cody Rhodes defeating Dominic
Mysterio. Yeah. My thought pres was

660
00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:13.679
is were they gonna fly? Can
they fly Brock to London? Try?

661
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:17.360
I'm just picking Brock on a flight
from like Manitoba all the way to London

662
00:44:17.880 --> 00:44:22.440
and him just being cranky. Um, I'm taking Cody as well. Although

663
00:44:22.599 --> 00:44:29.079
it I would say the Brock part
of it would lean like help elevate the

664
00:44:29.119 --> 00:44:32.079
SummerSlam stuff if they went that route, but right now on paper, not

665
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.239
thinking that Brock would go all they
to London, I'll take Cody. Next

666
00:44:36.280 --> 00:44:39.320
matches Seth Freaking Rollins defending the w
W World of Aoide Championship against Finn Balor

667
00:44:40.000 --> 00:44:43.639
Trey. Who do you like in
this one? Uh? Well, you

668
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.400
picked Damian priest to win money in
the bank. And although maybe that might

669
00:44:45.440 --> 00:44:50.079
be a fun storyline that hey,
if it finns the champ, can Damian

670
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:53.320
cash in on him at any moment? But I just think the better television

671
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:55.639
is plus you gotta keep the belt
on Seth for a little bit. So

672
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.400
I'm gonna take Seth three teen.
I really want to pick Finn Valler to

673
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:02.960
win this one based on my Money
the Bank prediction as well, but and

674
00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.800
being a fan of Fin as well. But I'm gonna go with Seth Freak

675
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:08.519
and Rollins. I think it would
be way too soon from to drop the

676
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:13.440
championship, but they are making it
pretty compelling heading into this match for Money

677
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:16.039
in the Bank, and then that
takes us into presumably the main event.

678
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:21.119
It's the Bloodline Civil War tag team
match as the Bloodline of Roman Rains and

679
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:25.639
Solosico take on the USOS. I'm
going to take Roman, Reins and Solosko

680
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:30.440
getting the victory and defeating the USOS
at Money in the Bank. Doctor Trey,

681
00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:37.039
Yeah, this one maybe. I
I'm trying to think if I want

682
00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:40.239
to go different, just because we've
picked everything the same so far and I'm

683
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:45.199
trailing you on the year. So
it's either go along with this and maintain

684
00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:51.960
or take a chance where we just
had Roman and Solo lose at Backlash.

685
00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:55.719
So I will take Roman and Solo
getting the wind as well. By the

686
00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:00.880
way, if Damian Priest wins Money
of the Bank and they do freebird rules

687
00:46:00.920 --> 00:46:04.440
with the Money the Bank briefcase to
any never judgment dayca cash in at any

688
00:46:04.519 --> 00:46:07.280
time, that would be interesting.
I don't believe they can, but that

689
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:12.440
would be very interesting and intriguing storyline. So like Dominic steals the briefcase and

690
00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:15.880
goes in cashes in. Yeah,
yeah, that'd be pretty funny, very

691
00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:17.800
weird and funny at the same time. And then Damien didn't know about it

692
00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:22.320
either. Yeah, all right,
so both of us taking the Bloodline to

693
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.840
win the Bloodline Civil War. And
those are all the matches that we know.

694
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:28.760
If there have been matches that have
been announced since we've recorded this show,

695
00:46:28.800 --> 00:46:31.159
we'll obviously recap and review them on
next week's edition of the podcast.

696
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:36.559
But like I said at the jump
there, we're pre recording these a little

697
00:46:36.599 --> 00:46:40.320
bit in advance due to me getting
married, in the anticipation of just getting

698
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.280
some new shows out there, some
regular content for you guys, keep the

699
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:49.159
streak going as we approach episode number
seven hundred in two weeks, which is

700
00:46:49.199 --> 00:46:52.280
insane to think of as well.
So yeah, we will recap and review

701
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:58.280
both Money in the Bank and aw
and New Japan Presents Forbidden Door on next

him right now. I'll record the
show. Yeah, I just figured it.

722
00:48:15.679 --> 00:48:19.360
Yeah, but by the way,
you did not apply the sun block

723
00:48:19.440 --> 00:48:22.920
to my back very well, but
it is what it is. It's very

724

nice to have him here for the
congratulations sake. So yeah, no,

So well, I can't be a six

726
00:48:31.159 --> 00:48:34.840

my special beat. No, that's it.
