I am one after the show, I am Jeff Peck

6
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.719
joined every single week my post on only Doctor Tray Franklin,

7
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.039
Doctor Treya. I did not have Shane McMahon and Tony

8
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:48.560
Kahn having a meeting on my Bengo card, my friend, Yeah.

9
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.920
That really wasn't on my Bingo card either. I'm I'm

10
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:52.119
just curious to see that.

11
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.439
If we have to rename Shane McMahon if he does

12
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.840
actually come into aw or is he gonna be.

13
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.039
Shane mac Man Shane Oh yeah.

14
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.680
Shane oh the artist formerly known as Shane O Mack

15
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:08.120
you know something like that.

16
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:12.439
Well this is a real name, right, So I'm just

17
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.480
Shane MacMahon. I like that one.

18
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:18.480
Yeah, space it out of love. They spell Man with

19
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.760
with no H is just m A N N.

20
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:24.879
He's just He's just a nineties character. He's the mac Man.

21
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.799
He comes out to Return of the Mac Yeah, exactly.

22
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.120
There you go. So it wasn't on my Bengo card either.

23
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.879
But you know, and again two years ago, did we

24
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.000
think that there'd be no McMahon's really.

25
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:38.400
In w W.

26
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.920
E No, And I also didn't think cm punk was

27
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.200
gonna be in w W. Yeah, I mean, it's it's

28
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.040
it's a wild time for professional wrestling. It's a very

29
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.959
fun time, but a very wild time for professional wrestling.

30
00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:53.319
So there were two photos, one which actually dropped during

31
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:56.560
last week's recording, and then obviously one that I saw

32
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.439
on Wednesday of Shane McMahon and Tony k in a

33
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:06.439
meeting with one another in a private office at Airport

34
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:10.680
in Arlington, So that was certainly one photo. The second

35
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.759
one was Drew McIntyre and Jack Perry together and I

36
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:15.879
was like, man, that is a shocking photo. I can't

37
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.240
believe that's taking you know, that's out there on the internet.

38
00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:23.360
Drew McIntyre ended up like deleting that tweet an Instagram post. However,

39
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.879
I think the Seane McMahon Tony knphoto is like the

40
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.360
most shocking one I've ever seen.

41
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.039
Yeah, I mean, if you if you remember a certain

42
00:02:33.080 --> 00:02:35.919
Hall of Fame ceremony from a few years ago where

43
00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.159
Billy Gunn was there, and there's the mention of a

44
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:41.800
you know, kind of the mention of him working for

45
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.520
somebody else, and Trip Place made the comment that Vince

46
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.759
could just buy up that little piss anc company whenever

47
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:50.000
he wanted to. It's interesting to see this actually play

48
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:54.879
out because you know where there Shane is there, Evince

49
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.199
looming in the background. Since he's now pretty much completely

50
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.800
divested for on TKO holdings.

51
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.360
Does the holy unholy.

52
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:06.960
Union of Vince and Tony Kahan come into play or

53
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.919
is this strictly Shane just trying to make amends for

54
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.759
tearing both his squads dancing at WrestleMania two years ago.

55
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.000
He wasn't dancing, wasn't he doing like a leap frog?

56
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:18.639
I thought he was.

57
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.560
Doing his entrance dance in the little Shane o Mac,

58
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.800
you know, Diddy and.

59
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.800
Torrent and I thought it was always a leap frog.

60
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.199
But we'll have to go back and watch the footage

61
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.039
if he in fact didn't tear his quads acl whatever

62
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:36.719
he did that night and Niniscus whatever doing his Shane

63
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.719
o Mac dance. So this is obviously a huge story.

64
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.039
It's kind of been building for some time, and it's

65
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.280
it's very funny. There's definitely some conspiracy theories that I

66
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.080
have behind this that we'll get to here in just

67
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.960
a little bit while as we talk about this. But

68
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.800
there was a report out there from a Fightful Select

69
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.919
and Wrestle Talk, and the report stated that this past

70
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:59.759
month of July twenty nine, Tony Kahan and Shane McMann

71
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.800
s down together for the first time. While con has

72
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.039
been receptive to the idea of McMahon and AW and

73
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.240
this also comes to us from Wrestling, Inc, the two

74
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.319
had never actually spoken before. Earlier this week, talks between

75
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:11.879
the parties seemed to be in the early stages, with

76
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.840
a fight Full statement at their sources back stage in

77
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:15.919
AW who had not been briefed on the meeting as

78
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.519
of Tuesday. In addition to the description of the meeting,

79
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.759
and Wrestle Talk posted a photo showing Conor McMahon in

80
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.199
a small conference room together. Cohn has like this shot

81
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:26.639
look on his face or smiley look on his face,

82
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.759
and sham Commn is looking rather serious.

83
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:31.000
Then.

84
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:36.079
More to this story, this comes to us from Bully

85
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.720
Ray on Busted Open Radio. So he reached out to

86
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:42.319
Sea McMann like I they had a conversation and then

87
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.079
he somehow got like this text asking him about this

88
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.360
entire meeting and shame. McMahon issued a statement in response

89
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.560
to the news of his meeting with Tony con saying quote,

90
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:53.800
Tony and I were connected through a mutual friend and

91
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:55.800
we had a great meeting. We talked about many things,

92
00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.800
but mostly about our shared love for the business and

93
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.199
the rewards and challenges of working with family. I congratulate

94
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.079
him on the five year anniversary of AW and look

95
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.720
forward to see how he evolves the business moving forward.

96
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.560
Another layer there. One more comes to us from Dave

97
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:16.240
Meltzer from russellm Ser Radio, saying quote, I know that

98
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:18.920
Sha McMann has looked to get back in we. I

99
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.360
know that people in charge of W had have no

100
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.959
interest in him. Could that change with the idea that

101
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.160
to be willing to go to AW? Maybe maybe not?

102
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.319
Could he be really be willing to go to AW?

103
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.160
I don't know where his mind is. Should AW take him,

104
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.120
which is probably the big question. Is it a leverage

105
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:37.360
play for him to try and get back into WA,

106
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.160
which wouldn't surprise me at all, But I know from

107
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.319
people in WA, like I said, he's trying to get back.

108
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.399
There's a lot of negativity, I would say, has been

109
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.480
there for a long time, which is an interesting layer

110
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:52.720
to it. And then finally, doctor Trey on this entire thing.

111
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:56.120
Russell Votes tweeted out the following, saying, quote, ask a

112
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.680
longtime w employee friendly with Shane for thoughts on the

113
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:02.319
Tony Kahn picture. The response quote, Shane's as smart as

114
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.360
they come. Take it a preliminary meeting. Doesn't surprise anyone here.

115
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.639
End quote. There's a lot to peel away here, Doctor

116
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.600
Trey first and foremost, and once again, Shane McMahon and

117
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:17.000
Tony Kahn had a meeting. Is he aw bound?

118
00:06:20.439 --> 00:06:21.120
Maybe?

119
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:25.040
I just don't think it's as soon as some people

120
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.480
are projecting. Like you mentioned to me, this is kind

121
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:32.240
of a leverage play. This is him seeing what's out there,

122
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.079
what's available. Obviously, like you said, he's had interest and

123
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.920
come back to WWE to be rebuffed. Well, Hey, if

124
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.000
I'm WWE and the sun of our longtime owner is

125
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.120
about to go to our competition, maybe I should take

126
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.839
that meeting a little more seriously and start seeing what's

127
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.600
up for him. He's got leverage in the sense of,

128
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.319
you know, he spent so much time in China, working

129
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:02.720
with net with their networks and distribution channels out there,

130
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.079
that this could be a great move for AEW to

131
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.680
bring somebody who has those kind of connections to get

132
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:11.040
more distribution in China. It makes sense on a name

133
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.560
value as well, So it's a very smart move on

134
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.399
Shane's part to try to get a ball rolling that

135
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:19.839
may have been stuck for a while.

136
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:23.000
Yeah, the entire thing is just overall shocking to me.

137
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.560
There's always been this weird rumor that there was potential

138
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.560
tension between Triple H, Stephanie and Seane McMahon and maybe

139
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:33.360
that's what led him leaving the company over a decade

140
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.519
ago before he returned in the last five to ten years.

141
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.279
Do you think that there's tension there, because I know

142
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:42.519
there's always tension, weird awkwardness and families in general. But

143
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.199
there have been personal photos out there where it was

144
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.879
Triple H at Shane McMahon's son's high school graduation, which

145
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.199
wasn't that long ago. I think it was like two

146
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.160
three years ago, and they are families, and it doesn't

147
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:56.120
seem like to me from the outside looking in obviously

148
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:01.399
that either Shaan McMahon nor Stephanie are jackass anyway. If anything,

149
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.560
what I've always heard is that Stephanie McMahon is like

150
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.959
a great businesswoman but a sweetheart, and Shane McMahon is

151
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.160
a smart businessman, but he's like one of the guys. Like,

152
00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.480
where do we think of the family aspect of this

153
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.079
entire thing? Because this is this is shocking, because there

154
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.720
is the Tony Kahn element, which I will get to

155
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.759
here momentarily, because I know for a fact, if Tony

156
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.199
Kahan spoke about my dad in any way like he has,

157
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.720
I would never meet with the guy. If anything, I'm

158
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:27.639
punching him in the face.

159
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:32.919
I think, you know, when it comes to McMahon's as

160
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.720
a whole, we shouldn't look at them through.

161
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.200
Normal family lenses.

162
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.759
I guess as a way of putting it, it's a

163
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.799
very unique family, and I'm sure at some point there

164
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:50.559
was tension between Shane, Triple Ah and Stephanie, especially you

165
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.759
know early on we go back to you know, you

166
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:54.320
and I go back to our fanoms for a very

167
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.480
long time, you go back to the WCW attitude era

168
00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.720
of Wars, and for a long time, these was always

169
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.279
that Vince was going to pass the company to Shane,

170
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.320
and then all of a sudden, it became Shane and Stephanie,

171
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:09.960
and then Triple H gets factored in, and then you

172
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.360
guys are wondering, like, was was Triple H really kind

173
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:16.159
of more the son that Vince always wanted, maybe a

174
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.080
little more than Shane, you know, Shane going off and

175
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.440
doing his own thing, prodigal son type of this situation.

176
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.000
Like, it's a.

177
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.200
Very unique dynamic within that family. I mean, there was

178
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.600
there were rumors a year or two ago that Stephanie

179
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.000
and Triple H were about to divorce, and that hasn't

180
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.120
come out. There's you know, Vince and Linda and their marriage,

181
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.279
and obviously Vince has a girlfriend, but he's still married.

182
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.919
I mean that that family is not your traditional American

183
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:46.080
nuclear family. So I understand your point, Like, if somebody

184
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.720
talked about my dad that way, I wouldn't talk to him.

185
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.279
But this is not a normal family with normal things

186
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.879
that go on in it. So once again, Shane's got

187
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:57.519
a son that's in college, who's.

188
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.679
You know, you know, a Division I athlete. He's got

189
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.960
another son in high school.

190
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.159
Obviously there's some things that he still wants to accomplish

191
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.279
in the world of professional wrestling. And then also maybe

192
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.320
open the doors for his kids to eventually move into

193
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:12.720
the realm of professional wrestling.

194
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.639
So hey, like I said earlier, if I can.

195
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.200
Get this ball rolling, whether it's WWE or AEW, let

196
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:20.799
me see if I can't open some doors for my

197
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.120
kids as well as for me and kind of keep

198
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.399
the family tradition alive, so to speak.

199
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.720
Furthermore, I mean all things encompassing here to me, after

200
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.279
everything I've known in professional wrestling as a wrestling fan,

201
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.639
this is, while very shocking, such McMahon move as a family.

202
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.159
I mean, this is such a McMahon move where they

203
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:46.720
will put business ahead of anything personal. I mean, Tony

204
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:52.440
Kahan has taken absolute dumps on your family's business and

205
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.960
everything that they do that they're responsible for and more,

206
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.840
and has dragged your father's name through the colls like

207
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:00.399
if you looked at the first couple of year years

208
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:04.360
of AW even prior to Tony Kahn and interviews refer to

209
00:11:04.440 --> 00:11:06.559
Vince mcmannon as like his hero, one of his heroes,

210
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:07.879
a guy that he wanted to sit down and have

211
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.159
dinner with. I remember reading at one time. As time

212
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.559
went on and WW, according to Tony Kahn, did things

213
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.200
that were a little bit shady off business practice things

214
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:20.279
that he didn't like. He ran that name through the

215
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:23.559
coles as much as possible. He referred to w W

216
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.600
as the Harvey Weinstein a professional wrestling And why is

217
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.080
that because of the stuff that's going on with Vince

218
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:36.240
McMahon and the potential court case of sex trafficking, human trafficking,

219
00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.480
what have you? You know, doctor Trey mentioned, is this

220
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.720
going to open the door to Vince coming? I don't

221
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:45.639
think Vince is ever coming to aw given the current

222
00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:50.799
circumstances he's dealing with from a legal standpoint. However, this

223
00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:55.440
is just to me such a McMahon move and there's

224
00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:58.519
going to be some weird ill will in w W

225
00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:02.799
where Shane is not welcomed. There's this story from twenty

226
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:07.120
twenty one's Royal Rumble match where Shane was brought in.

227
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:12.000
He was the producer and he was tasked to run

228
00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.480
that match and according to reports, like he it was

229
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:17.879
such a clusterfuck, which if you go back and you

230
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:22.120
watch that Royal Rumble match, it was excuse me, twenty

231
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.960
twenty two Royal Rumble was the was the one that

232
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.559
was like a huge, huge clusterfuck. It was a bad

233
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:31.840
Royal Rumble, and he did all these spots to make

234
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.240
himself look good, which rubbed people the wrong way. He

235
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:37.720
was written out of storylines. Vince didn't want to bring

236
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.159
him back anything like that. But time and time again,

237
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:44.080
Russell Manty thirty nine, here comes Shane McMahon. He's back

238
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:47.240
out there. He's dancing, he's tearing his squads and in

239
00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.440
an impromptu match with the Miz and he's on the

240
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.519
shelf and we haven't seen him sist since. It's it's

241
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:59.320
bizarre in a world of professional wrestling where you can

242
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.960
get a little bit of stories here and there as

243
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.039
to how people feel about a specific person, especially somebody

244
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.720
like a McMahon, like Shane McMahon. It is a tough

245
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.600
read Doctor Trey, because there are stories out there, maybe

246
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.120
they're filtered by Shane and his people, that say he's

247
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.960
a great guy, very fun to work with, people love

248
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.120
having him around, he's one of the boys. And then

249
00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.679
you get these stories out there as well that he's

250
00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:27.000
a businessman, he tries to put himself over, he's not

251
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:30.039
as well liked as he's perceived. Somewhere in the middle.

252
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:34.200
As always, Doctor Trey is the truth and all in all,

253
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:37.399
this is a very strategic move by Shane. But I

254
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.759
can't get past the fact that if he loves his dad,

255
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.240
if he has a good relationship with his dad, still,

256
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.000
how the hell can he meet with Tony Kahan.

257
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:47.960
I mean, nothing really surprises me.

258
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:51.120
But you know, I don't follow Shane on LinkedIn, but

259
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:54.559
since WrestleMania thirty nine, we really haven't heard about him

260
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:57.879
doing anything, you know, So like I said, like this

261
00:13:58.039 --> 00:13:59.799
is a way for him to kind of.

262
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:02.360
Get his name out there again. See what's out there.

263
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.080
See if if by him meeting with aw maybe TKO

264
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:09.440
gets a little interested. It is weird, and I love

265
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:11.519
that you brought this up that there is almost like

266
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:13.600
two different Shanes, and a lot of it seems to

267
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.919
be the Shane prior to leaving in the Shane coming back.

268
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.240
Like the Shane priorly.

269
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:22.759
It's what always heard a great guy, one of the boys,

270
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:25.919
you know, didn't mind doing all the crazy stuff like

271
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.360
getting suplex through glass at King of the Ring, loved

272
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:29.960
all that stuff.

273
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.320
But then the shame since you know, kind of the

274
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.720
last few years where he.

275
00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.080
Became kind of the quote unquote, you know, hell in

276
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.360
a cell spot monkey type Shane, like what's he going

277
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:40.600
to dive off of this time.

278
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.360
It's a different Shane that we hear about.

279
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.600
And it might be because he's trying to impress the kids,

280
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.120
or he's trying to like stay relevant or something like that.

281
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.519
I don't know what it is, but it does feel

282
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:54.279
like there's two different trains of thought when it comes

283
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.919
to Shane McMahon the person and you know you mentioned

284
00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.279
you know, if you love your dad, why did you

285
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.919
take this meeting? If you love your sister and her

286
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.600
husband is the seat with the Chief Content Officer, the

287
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:11.600
CCO of WWE, you know, by taking this meeting and

288
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.080
putting out that god awful picture, Uh, it's gonna get

289
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:17.480
back and it's gonna it's gonna ruffle some feathers. So

290
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.480
it's a strategic move in the sense of it's getting

291
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:25.120
my name out there and something is going to happen

292
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.200
because I took this meeting.

293
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.159
So this is the Shane businessman part playing out more

294
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.200
than anything else.

295
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.399
All in all, at the end of the day, from

296
00:15:34.399 --> 00:15:37.279
both Tony Kahan and Shane McMahon, is this a potential

297
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.360
business opportunity? Absolutely? Is this an opportunity for Shane to

298
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.320
join aaw Absolutely? But what does this move overall? This

299
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:49.799
is a total fuck you move from both Tony Kahan

300
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:54.240
and Shane McMahon to wa We are going into SummerSlam

301
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.360
week in a couple of days. Unless things change, there

302
00:15:57.360 --> 00:16:01.240
will be a press conference following Somelam. Triple H will

303
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:05.200
be taking questions. I can almost guarantee that one of

304
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:09.679
the first three questions asked of him will be absolutely

305
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:14.240
one hundred and ten percent this entire story of Tony

306
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:17.000
Kahan and Seae McMahon meeting, how the company feels, how

307
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.200
the family feels, and there'll be some sort of political response.

308
00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.000
I can almost guarantee that he has been prepped to

309
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.879
already answer this question from his PR team, that this

310
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.080
is everything is going to be laid out on the

311
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:35.039
table to a degree. So I mean they're still in headlines.

312
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:39.080
We are opening up the show heading into SummerSlam weekend,

313
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:42.480
one of the second biggest show that they do in Wae,

314
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.919
soon to be a two night event in a couple

315
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:48.799
of years. By talking about Sean McMahon meeting with Tony

316
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.080
Khan and a little bit of hell freezing over more

317
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.519
than anything I've ever seen, I mean this talk about

318
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:56.279
Brett Hart coming back, talk about Ultimate Warrior coming back,

319
00:16:56.360 --> 00:16:59.639
see him Punk coming back to w WE. Those are

320
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:05.480
are like steps below a McMahon meeting with Tony Kahan,

321
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:11.079
while there are McMahon's or family members tied to McMahon

322
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.440
family still involved with WA. I mean, this is this

323
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.160
is mind blowing in a lot of ways, but at

324
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.559
the end of the day, Doctor Trey, I think this

325
00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.240
is a total f you move from both Tony Kahan

326
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:21.880
and Shane McMann to WA.

327
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.079
Yeah, I love if you said, you know, I'm sure

328
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.960
Trip Place is getting prepped by the PR team. I'm

329
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:29.960
sure he's getting prepped by his sister or by by

330
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:33.240
his wife. Like it's it is a complete f you move,

331
00:17:33.559 --> 00:17:35.960
and you know you're alluding to like the hell freezing.

332
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.559
I mean, we just had Jesse Ventura appear at Monday

333
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:44.480
Night Raw this past week, Like Jesse and WW have

334
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.599
not gotten along very well over the last eleven years,

335
00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:50.440
and we're starting to show off about with Shane and

336
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:54.200
Tony Khan. Because this is not Becky Lynch taking a

337
00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:56.599
meeting with Tony Khan. This is not a talent to

338
00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:59.640
a free agent talent taking. This is the brother in

339
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.599
law of the man who runs this company. Taking a

340
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:08.359
meeting with direct competition like that's I swear to God to.

341
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:10.279
Yes.

342
00:18:10.319 --> 00:18:15.440
I'm like, I really want to see a McMahon Helmsley Thanksgiving.

343
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.480
I just want to see what the hell goes on

344
00:18:18.279 --> 00:18:20.759
at one of those things when the grandkids are gathered around,

345
00:18:20.880 --> 00:18:24.920
everybody's there. How is there not how to fight breakout

346
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:28.359
at the Thanksgiving dinner that we find out about over

347
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:33.519
the past fifteen years with this family, It's it's mind blowing.

348
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:36.400
Is there any part of you that think that there's

349
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.799
a little bit of an inside job like that Shane

350
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:41.680
is still team Triple H and Stephanie team W and

351
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.039
is taking this meeting to kind of like, I don't know,

352
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.799
not ruffle feathers and we but like make people laugh

353
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:50.440
in w Like let's talk about conspiracy theories here.

354
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.839
I mean the best conspiracy theory would be like Shane

355
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.119
and his dad are still tight das not in the

356
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:59.640
company anymore by taking this meeting. It's not Vince meeting

357
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:03.079
with Tony con but kind of the same similarities we

358
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:06.279
talked about a couple of years ago when Vince retired

359
00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:09.359
but all of his generals are still in place, and

360
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.319
was he still kind of running the show.

361
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:13.240
Maybe this is a way for them.

362
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:20.039
Maybe Shane's the intermediary between Tony and Vince and that's

363
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.000
the buffer to kind of get that ball rolling. And

364
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:26.400
at some point, I mean in Vince could have his

365
00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:30.279
two kids working for the working for competing companies, and

366
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:32.680
then how much power does Vince have if he's got

367
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.599
a son in AAW and a daughter or a son

368
00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:40.039
in law running WWE. Like that's the ultimate chess move,

369
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.039
is that when you can put your pawns in place

370
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:43.880
to help run two different companies.

371
00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.359
Last thing I want to talk about here in regards

372
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:49.119
to the entire thing, So let's just say, for conversation's sake,

373
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.240
AW signed Seae McMahon, Shay mcmann's and the company. Does

374
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:55.880
that get you excited for the AW product or is

375
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.319
it just one of those things where it's like a

376
00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.279
car crash that you can't stop staring at and you

377
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:01.319
just want to see him man standing in the all

378
00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:02.359
elite wrestling ring.

379
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.079
I mean, on one hand, it would get me excited

380
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:09.759
if he's brought in to help distribution and maybe help

381
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:12.319
negotiate the Warner brother deal or something like that, something

382
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.480
that's actually in his wheelhouse of being a businessman. I

383
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:19.480
don't know how excited I get about Shane being in

384
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.480
a ring with anybody in aew because that means we

385
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:26.920
have to see Shane's punches and kicks again. And any

386
00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.839
longtime listener of this show knows how much Jeff Peck

387
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.839
loves watching Sean mcmanh throw punches and kicks.

388
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.839
Oh, I mean Sean McMahon, the person, the personality, the

389
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:39.279
character on TV. I'm all there for. If you're a

390
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.160
longtime listening to this podcast, you know Seane McMahon the

391
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:45.400
executive being on an even playing field with anybody in

392
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:49.720
professional wrestling is not good at all. I mean, there

393
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.359
is nobody on a w roster that should be like

394
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:55.480
giving him as much offense as he did, or putting

395
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:57.599
him in spots with aj Styles the Miz. But now

396
00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.480
I'm getting on a tangent which doctor Trevis was hoping

397
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:04.480
I would do. But very very very bizarre. I thought again,

398
00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.480
Drew McIntyre Jack Perry picture was out of control in

399
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.480
a while, and mind blowing that picture, Tony Kahan Shay

400
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.799
McMahon just as equally mind blowing. I just heard you say, Oh,

401
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:15.240
doctor Trey, everything all right?

402
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:18.440
Yeah, I get these great ideas every soft that popped

403
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:21.279
in my head. And you know, there there's been talk

404
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:25.000
about the rebranding of Ring of Honor and bringing it

405
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.920
more Cyprian. And then we get Shane in a Ring

406
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:30.680
of Honor ring saying, yes, the contract has been signed,

407
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:33.960
but there's a big man owning Ring of Honor, and

408
00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:35.599
then we end up getting some kind of Ring of

409
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:38.119
Honor aw invasion angle.

410
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.519
Wasn't that the joke when he when he when con

411
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:45.279
was about to announce that he was becoming the owner

412
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:47.920
of r O H. They somebody was like, is the

413
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.160
big ant is the contract? Say Shane on it? Or

414
00:21:50.480 --> 00:21:53.440
and he said, Shane's not here. That would be pretty funny.

415
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:57.440
But there you go, Tony Kahan and Shane O. Mack

416
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:03.759
meeting Mono E Mono to discuss potential business opportunities in

417
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:05.880
the world of professional wrestling. We'll have to keep an

418
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.720
eye on that moving forward. I thought it was a

419
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:09.400
pipe dream, and then they met and then a photo

420
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:12.720
was taken and the world has been in an uproar

421
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:16.920
here the restling world in the last week heading into SummerSlam,

422
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:21.240
keeping with AW Doctor Trey is announced on last night's

423
00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:25.319
edition of Dynamite that the Brian Danielson Swerve Strickland main

424
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:28.480
event match for the AW World haaweight Championship will now

425
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.960
be a career versus title match, Daniel Brian saying that

426
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:37.240
if he cannot defeat Swerve Strickland, his career will be

427
00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.240
over at aw all In. This is interesting because it

428
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.200
came off some reports this past week in regards to

429
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.880
Brian Danielson's current physical condition going into aw all In.

430
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:53.480
This comes to us from Wrestling Inc. Via Fightful Select

431
00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.400
reporting the following saying that fight Full Select reports that

432
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.359
a recent interviewed Danielson cut with Renee Piquette. This is

433
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.920
the one where Jeff chair Is cuts him off, gets

434
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.680
interrupted and all that stuff where he stated that an

435
00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:07.680
AW doctor Michael Sampson didn't want him competing till aw

436
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.400
all In had some truth to it would a Wembley

437
00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:12.680
Stadium show on the rise in aw doctors have put

438
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:15.720
restrictions on Danielsen leading into the show, with said restrictions

439
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.119
preventing Danielson from participating in angles or matches that he

440
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:22.599
had planned for previously. Regardless, while Danielson has banged up,

441
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.960
it was known that Danielson has long been planned to

442
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:27.319
being the Wembley main event, and it appears there was

443
00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:31.160
never consideration of him moving from the spot. Also confirmed

444
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.799
was that Danielson's talent contract with the AW would expire

445
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:37.079
in August first, something else Danielsen discussed in his interview

446
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.000
with Piquette. He also mentioned it on last night's Dynamite. However,

447
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.920
no one should expect to see Danielson elsewhere anytime soon,

448
00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:45.039
as there's an active plan for him to remain involved

449
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:48.000
with AW over the next month and possibly beyond. Regarding

450
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.799
any questions on whether Danielson's plans to leave resting full

451
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:53.279
time or legit, that is believed to be the case

452
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.160
and that Danielson will be at best a part time

453
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.640
wrestler wants his current AW run comes to an end.

454
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:03.799
End quote here, that's tray. There's a lot of layers

455
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:06.960
to it. I'm excited for AW all in. I'm excited

456
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:09.039
for the build. The build has been very good overall

457
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:12.440
for the show heading into the late August. I'm excited

458
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.440
about this match because these are two of my favorites.

459
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.000
They added the stipulation, I am that much more intrigued.

460
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.440
Your thoughts on everything that is being discussed behind the

461
00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:24.359
scenes regards to Brian Danielson's physical condition heading into All In,

462
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:28.720
and now the stipulation beat added to the main event

463
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:29.880
match with swar Strickland.

464
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.839
Yeah, I'm not a fan of stipulations like this being

465
00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:39.799
added when you know somebody's contrast kind of up and

466
00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:42.039
you hear these reports, because then it's like, okay, well,

467
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:46.119
if if Brian Danielson wins, is he actually able to

468
00:24:46.160 --> 00:24:48.440
be able to defend the title, like or is he

469
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:50.079
you know, is he too beat up to do that?

470
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.400
Because you and I both know that this match with

471
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:54.240
him and Swerve is gonna be very, very physical.

472
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:56.880
Swerve does not have easy matches.

473
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:01.559
Everything looks tough and hard and violin and your body's

474
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:03.799
basically put through a car crash coming out of it.

475
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.680
So it just I don't like needing to add this

476
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.039
layer onto it, like we could literally have the match

477
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:15.400
and then Brian comes out on Wednesday following you know,

478
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.759
all In and do his little, you know, another retirement speech.

479
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:22.839
I mean, I to me, it's just like an unnecessary

480
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.319
thing to add on to it. But you know, if

481
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:28.519
it adds intrigue and advice, I guess I'm fine with it.

482
00:25:28.599 --> 00:25:29.559
Just as a longtime fan.

483
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:31.440
I'm just not a huge fan of these things when

484
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:35.960
there's so much out in the open about the surrounding

485
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.359
circumstances leading into it.

486
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.319
See. I think that's where we different because I think

487
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:41.079
this adds to a little bit of intrigue because of

488
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.240
the stuff that's going on behind the scenes. Obviously aw

489
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.319
knows it's out there, they're having them talk about it in interviews.

490
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:51.200
It's the interesting part that doesn't make sense that I

491
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:54.759
will agree with you on is his contract status saying

492
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:57.279
that he will no longer be an active performer, and

493
00:25:57.319 --> 00:25:59.000
it's like, okay, well, then what are you gonna do.

494
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:00.720
You're gonna put the championship Bonham and he's going to

495
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:03.240
perform once every four months. Isn't that what you bashed

496
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.119
we on when they were doing like the lesnar Roman

497
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:10.599
reign stuff. So that part I'm totally with. I say,

498
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.279
like twenty five percent of this entire thing to seventy

499
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.240
five percent I'm like excited and intrigued with is I'm

500
00:26:16.240 --> 00:26:18.079
wondering if we're getting worked a little bit in this

501
00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:21.400
entire thing, and maybe he is doing a full time

502
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:23.599
run before he goes or the plan is if he

503
00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:26.839
is a champion, he's going to do full time. Still,

504
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:29.680
maybe these stories that he's putting out there, that the

505
00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.680
Dirt Sheets are putting out there are a little bit

506
00:26:32.720 --> 00:26:34.839
tongue in cheek, a little bit fabricated to make people

507
00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:38.000
all pun intended swerve when it comes to the match

508
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:40.960
that's coming up there between he and Strickland at aw

509
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:44.759
all In on August twenty fifth. So it does it

510
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.279
blurs the lines of reality, which is what we like

511
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:52.000
in professional wrestling. If we sit here the day after

512
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.240
all In and Swerve, Strickland's won and Daniel Bryan has

513
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:58.400
said goodbye, maybe we'll be critical of a little bit

514
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:01.799
more of the direction they had for this match heading

515
00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.319
into it and all those stories being let out, especially

516
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.599
from the aw side of things in their YouTube programming

517
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.519
and then their actual programming on Dynamite. But if he

518
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.920
wins the championship, there's gonna be like that week where

519
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:17.559
it's like, okay, so what's happening here with Brian Danielson,

520
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:20.400
And I find that intriguing. I don't know what it is.

521
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.920
I think career title versus title matches Doctor Trey they

522
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:26.880
always interest me. It's it's something anytime that there's a

523
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.079
career on the line like this, It's probably one of

524
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.799
the most intriguing stipulations you can have. And I think

525
00:27:33.839 --> 00:27:35.960
the only thing that envied that for me as a

526
00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:38.759
professional wrestling fan my entire time and watching the sport

527
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:42.519
was when Undertaker perform at wrestlming the street was on

528
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:47.559
the line. Like career matches where wrestless careers on the line,

529
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.960
I've always found very, very intriguing over the years.

530
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:53.039
I think I go back to I think it was

531
00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:55.640
wrestling in twenty six career versus streak and for me,

532
00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:58.960
and maybe this is why I have such a huge

533
00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.519
Sean Michaels fan. Going into that match, I kind of

534
00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:03.880
knew it was his last match, and I think there's

535
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.240
part of me that just goes, man, I really don't

536
00:28:06.480 --> 00:28:09.440
want this to be the last match. And in this

537
00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:12.480
situation now, one thing I'll say about this situation in

538
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.079
particular is that over the five years, aw can keep

539
00:28:17.160 --> 00:28:20.599
secrets when they want to keep secrets, and they can

540
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.880
put stuff out and make us talk about it and

541
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:25.279
make us think about it when that's the.

542
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:26.160
Rest sure they want to go.

543
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:28.480
So in this situation, you're absoually right, this may be

544
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.480
a complete work. This may be them putting something out

545
00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:33.720
there to get guys like you and I talking about it,

546
00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:37.039
to create that extra layer of intrigue in everything else,

547
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.000
and then for it to all be, like you said,

548
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:43.720
like a lack of a better term, a swerve and

549
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.440
Brian's got another year, year and a half run on

550
00:28:46.559 --> 00:28:49.759
him and we get Brian Danson title matches for three

551
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:50.440
months straight.

552
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:51.960
I mean, it could be all work.

553
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.400
And that's one of the things at least with AW

554
00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:56.880
that they do well is if they want something to

555
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.039
get out to lead into storylines or create some in

556
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.799
they do it. If they want things to be quiet,

557
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.559
they can keep stuff quiet. It's just like in this

558
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:10.920
situation career versus titles, like I don't know if you

559
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.160
needed the extra layer on it, but if this is

560
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:16.079
all to get us all talking, they've done a great,

561
00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:16.880
fantastic job.

562
00:29:17.319 --> 00:29:18.839
Yeah. I look at some of the histories there and

563
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.599
we're gonna name a lot of WrestleMania stuff, but Ultimate

564
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.000
Warrior and Macho Man Randy Savage. I think that was

565
00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:29.039
WrestleMania seven when they had a career match, and then

566
00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:31.640
you had Rick Flayer, Shawn Michael's wrestlmant in twenty four,

567
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:34.920
the one that Doctor Trade has talked about Undertaker versus

568
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:38.440
shown Michael's Wrestlemanti. It's twenty six Street versus Career. Going

569
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.279
back to my point of like two things that I

570
00:29:40.400 --> 00:29:43.920
love the most for stipulations would be to streak when

571
00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:46.240
it was the Undertaker had at WrestleMania then then a

572
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.440
career match, and they did it all on one shot,

573
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.160
which ironically was enough. Was the very first WRESTLEMANI we

574
00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:53.960
ever covered here on the history of the So Real

575
00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.759
Ties show. So really intriguing stuff. Interested to see where

576
00:29:57.799 --> 00:30:01.759
the build goes and I like the lines of reality

577
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:03.839
being blurred a little bit here and we'll see if

578
00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.759
they can continue forward with that with the creative in

579
00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.960
over the next couple of weeks. Heading into this match,

580
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:11.839
so Swerve, Strickland, Brian Daniels, and AW All in career

581
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.759
versus title match. A lot of good buzz around AW

582
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.279
this week as we're going into a show preview and

583
00:30:18.319 --> 00:30:21.359
predicting w SummerSlam, and the first two topics at the

584
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:22.960
top of the show is stuff that is going on

585
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:25.079
and buzz going on with AW and that's what you want.

586
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.599
You want good buzz. You don't want bad buzz You

587
00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:31.759
want good buzs switching to WWE Doctor Trey. There's a

588
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:35.839
report out there, according to a press release that was

589
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:38.359
released by the London government, and this comes to us

590
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:41.880
from Wrestling Inc. That w officials were in London last

591
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.839
week meeting with them in regards to bringing WrestleMania to

592
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:50.359
the European capital in the near future. And as revealed

593
00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:53.160
in this press release issued by the London Government, the

594
00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:56.880
Mayor of London, Sadik Khan, met with w President Nick

595
00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.759
Cohn a lot of cons here on this episode of

596
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.680
s R to You w Chief Content Officer Paul Triple

597
00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:04.880
h Levec on Thursday, with the intent of discussing the

598
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.799
possibility of bringing a future wrestlminging event to England's capital

599
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:10.680
city of London. For Conn, this marked an opportunity to

600
00:31:10.759 --> 00:31:13.920
make progress in his mission to perform to platform more

601
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.960
North American international sports in London. Did you sneeze, doctor try?

602
00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:19.640
Yeah, I'm sorry. I was trying to hit my mute button.

603
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:20.839
Couldn't get to it.

604
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:22.519
No, No, God bless you that that dound like a

605
00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:26.480
bad sneeze. Get those allergies checked out, saying quote, London

606
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:28.960
is a great pedigree and hosting the biggest international sporting

607
00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:31.519
events from around the globe. And I'm determined to cement

608
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:34.279
our city's reputation as the undisputed sports capital the world

609
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:36.640
as we work together for a better London for everyone,

610
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:39.680
said TV. It's exciting to be working with the weteam.

611
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.799
The meeting was very was really productive and talks will

612
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:44.319
continue about how we could turn our ambition into reality.

613
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.559
As pointing out by the VAC, WWE in London every

614
00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:50.680
long and successful history that dates back several decades, including

615
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:53.119
nineteen ninety two SummerSlam pl which had emanated from the

616
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:56.039
world famous Wembly Stadium. As of twenty twenty four, though

617
00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:58.119
w has yet to take its granded stage outside of

618
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.319
North America, something that that sixteen times world champion John

619
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:04.759
Cena previously campaigned had change my specifically bringing it to

620
00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:08.319
the prosperous city of London. During W Money in the

621
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:13.079
Bank twenty twenty three. Coming out of w's meeting, Nick

622
00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:16.119
Cohn indicated that further talks were needed, but so far

623
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:18.240
they appear to be promising to Decon and his team

624
00:32:18.279 --> 00:32:21.359
are working harder positioning London as a sport and entertainment

625
00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:23.160
capital of Europe, and it has been great to hear

626
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.160
more on his vision for how w can support them

627
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.200
on that journey. Nick Kahn said, so, doctor Trey Twofold here,

628
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:33.599
One do you want to see WrestleMania out of North

629
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:38.400
America and over into Europe? And two is London the

630
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:41.640
right spot to have the very first WrestleMania off us soil?

631
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:44.720
So excuse me, North American soil.

632
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:47.799
For me personally, to have it in London would be

633
00:32:47.880 --> 00:32:52.119
fine because most WrestleManias are outside my budget, so I

634
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:57.240
can't really get to most WrestleManias, and you know, doing

635
00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:59.960
one in London, for me, the visual would be spectacular.

636
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:01.680
London's a beautiful, beautiful city.

637
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:05.160
I am a little surprised that we're you know, we're

638
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.839
coming up, we're coming up on you know, WrestleMania forty one,

639
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:10.720
and we've never even done one in Canada, you know,

640
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:12.920
for that for that regard, So what.

641
00:33:13.000 --> 00:33:17.240
We did we did Toronto, Toronto WrestleMania six and eighteen.

642
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:19.720
So nothing outside of North America. So it is a

643
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:23.519
little surprising that they haven't made this move yet. But

644
00:33:24.400 --> 00:33:27.480
I think London's a fantastic choice. We've seen how successful

645
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:29.960
it was in Wales. We've seen how successful ww's been

646
00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:33.119
in France. We've seen how successful AAW has been in

647
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:37.640
Wembley Stadium. So it makes sense, especially if ww's trying

648
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:41.799
to counter I don't say counter program but counter business

649
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.759
AW by sticking at WrestleMania in London. Does that now

650
00:33:45.920 --> 00:33:50.279
maybe diminish what an all in is when it's in London. Uh,

651
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.279
Not to mention, London is kind of like the backyard

652
00:33:54.480 --> 00:33:58.240
of Tony and Shad Kahn's family. I mean they literally

653
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.160
own soccer teams there. They do the London football games

654
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:03.400
with the Jaguars there. The Jaguars have been rumored to

655
00:34:03.559 --> 00:34:06.480
move to London before. It is one of those things

656
00:34:06.480 --> 00:34:09.039
where's like, hey, it's good for business and in a

657
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:12.159
sense you can kind of stick it to AW by

658
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.519
working a deal out with London to bring WrestleMania there.

659
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.960
Yeah, it's it's a really intriguing proposition right now. I'm

660
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.480
excited for I think it should go to London. I

661
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.119
think that crowded London is going to be off the

662
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.920
hook like one of the best WrestleMania crowds of all time.

663
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:31.559
It's something that we typically see from the European crowds

664
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.039
when they go over there, they hijack the show and

665
00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:36.280
you're like, man, the European crowds got it, they bring it,

666
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.480
and to get those soccer hooligans, football hooligans cheering on

667
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.920
for some wrestling, cheering on for some WrestleMania, they are

668
00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:46.400
going to be hype, they are going to be excited.

669
00:34:46.440 --> 00:34:48.400
There was a great crowded aw all in last year

670
00:34:48.920 --> 00:34:51.119
and it's because of all the excitements around in it.

671
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:55.119
And maybe this is another fu back from WE to AW.

672
00:34:55.440 --> 00:34:58.320
Like if AW was able to do eighty three eighty

673
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.679
four thousand for all in wwe may try to do

674
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:05.280
more than that and go to Wembley Stadium and outdo

675
00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:09.960
them even more. So it's a really intriguing business proposition,

676
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:12.159
which there's been plenty of these discussed on this week's

677
00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:14.519
edition of SRTU. And I really hope it comes to

678
00:35:14.599 --> 00:35:17.199
Frussian because I think the London crowd deserves it, they

679
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:19.519
want it, and I think it would be a really

680
00:35:19.599 --> 00:35:21.800
really awesome experience and it would be a wrestlemanting that

681
00:35:21.800 --> 00:35:24.280
would be daytime. So I'm here for I think like

682
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:26.960
a noontime WrestleMania. Sign me up and we am not

683
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:31.000
like dead tired for the rest of the absolute weekend.

684
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:33.280
It goes on because Wrestlemantia Weekend, as we all know,

685
00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:37.960
is an absolute grind my friends. With that said, let's

686
00:35:37.960 --> 00:35:41.960
shift gears, Doctor Trey and preview and predict WWE Summer Slam.

687
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:44.920
It comes to us this Saturday from Cleveland Brown Stadium

688
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:48.840
in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the formerly known as Biggest

689
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:50.320
Party the Summer. I don't know if they're still using

690
00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:53.800
that tagline to promote Summer Slam this year. Nonetheless, let's

691
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:57.320
get into it. The hometown boy, one of the hometown boys,

692
00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:59.920
is the miss He's hosting it. The other hometown boy,

693
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:03.280
Logan Paul, is defending the w United States Championship against

694
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:06.800
La Night Doctor Trey. I have a tough time calling

695
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.119
this one, but I think Logan retains in the hometown.

696
00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:10.280
I'm gonna take Logan Paul.

697
00:36:11.199 --> 00:36:11.320
See.

698
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:13.480
This is when this has been tricky for me because,

699
00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:16.960
you know, with Cody being on SmackDown full time and.

700
00:36:17.000 --> 00:36:17.840
Seeing the world title.

701
00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.079
Usually if this was Roman in charge, I jump on

702
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:21.920
the La Night train because that whether the US title

703
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.079
be featured more, Uh, you kind of have I don't

704
00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:26.400
want say I don't want to call Logan Paul a

705
00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:28.760
part time champion, made me a three quarter champion.

706
00:36:31.039 --> 00:36:32.280
I think I'm gonna take La Knight.

707
00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:34.719
I know it's it's Logan's hometown, but I think I'm

708
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:37.840
gonna take La nine just because I mean, the dudes

709
00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.079
kind of do like it's it's been He's had a

710
00:36:40.199 --> 00:36:42.119
year and a half run without a title, and he's

711
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:43.760
been maybe one of the hottest acts in the company

712
00:36:43.800 --> 00:36:46.320
during that time. If you don't pull the trigger now,

713
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:47.480
I don't know if you ever pulled the trigger with

714
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:47.960
La Knight.

715
00:36:48.320 --> 00:36:51.039
Interesting. Interesting, So you go in La Night. I am

716
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:54.360
going Logan Paul. Next match, sure, Doctor Trey is for

717
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.920
the Intercontinental Championship as Sammy z Aan defense against bron Breaker.

718
00:36:57.960 --> 00:36:58.880
Who do you like in this one?

719
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.159
I'm going to old school here. I'm going off what

720
00:37:02.280 --> 00:37:04.559
I saw on Raw, which is Samy had the upper hand.

721
00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:06.800
So I'm gonna take bron Breaker at SummerSlam.

722
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:09.760
Yeah, I'm gonna take the same like logic that you

723
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:12.599
have with La Knight winning the United States Championship, and

724
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:14.760
it's the same way I feel about the Intercontinental title.

725
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.000
So I think if you're gonna pull the trigger, you

726
00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:20.880
pull it now and he has so much upside. A

727
00:37:21.039 --> 00:37:27.599
ton of poise and opportunity awaits the career of bron Breaker.

728
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:29.800
He took the l the month before. I think now

729
00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.199
is the time to put the title on him. So

730
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:33.880
I'm gonna take bron Breaker to win the Intercontinentald Championship

731
00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:37.079
as well. Next match is Bailey defending the WA Women's

732
00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.559
Championship against Naya Jacks. This is another tough one to call,

733
00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.760
Doctor Trey, because there's the Tiffany Stratton element that is

734
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:48.719
hanging above this entire thing. I'm gonna take Bailey to

735
00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:52.679
win the WA Women's Championship. Pardon me wants to add

736
00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.840
I think Tiffany Stratton comes down and cashes in and

737
00:37:55.960 --> 00:37:58.280
leaves SummerSlam with the title, which then leads to issues

738
00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:01.000
between her and Naya Jacks. But if they do that,

739
00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:06.519
then my creative complaint for their creative would be I

740
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:08.840
wish they built up their relationship and friendship a little

741
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:10.840
bit more, so I'd like to see that play out.

742
00:38:10.920 --> 00:38:12.960
I'll tad bit more, but I'm gonna take Bailey to

743
00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.960
retain the title.

744
00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.159
Yeah.

745
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.800
I've kind of gone back and forth because like, I

746
00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.039
don't know about you I've really been a fan of

747
00:38:20.199 --> 00:38:22.719
Naya over the last like six months. I agree, and

748
00:38:23.719 --> 00:38:26.239
like she's been really really good. Her in ring work's

749
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:28.599
gotten better. We don't have nearly as many of the

750
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:33.800
accidents as she had before. The Bailey run hasn't been great,

751
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.480
so it really wants me to pick Naya, But I

752
00:38:36.760 --> 00:38:38.599
like your logic. I think I'm gonna take Bailey to

753
00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:42.280
retain because the storyline I think needs a little more

754
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.519
depth between Tiffany and Naya to really flush it out.

755
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.119
So I'm gonna take Bailey retaining as well.

756
00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:50.519
Next match here is Live Morgan defending the Women's World

757
00:38:50.599 --> 00:38:54.280
Championship against Rhea Ripley. Another tough one to call, Doctor Trey,

758
00:38:54.360 --> 00:38:55.400
Who do you like in this one?

759
00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:58.800
It's the Dominic mysterio factor.

760
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:03.239
I don't know where Dominic's allegiance lies at this point,

761
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:05.119
Like I know has been played up that he's back

762
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.599
with Mommy, but you know this could be a big,

763
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:11.119
big screw job and really make an even more hated

764
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.159
is if he screws over Rhea and kind of either

765
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.119
leaves the judgment day or takes Carlito with him and

766
00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:20.440
they do their own thing. I'm gonna take Live sneaking

767
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:22.599
out in the victory and retaining right now, and just

768
00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:25.000
because I want to create more depth in this whole things,

769
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:26.679
so I'm gonna take Live retaining the title.

770
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.920
I'm gonna take Live Morgan retaining the championship as well.

771
00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:32.480
And I feel like either the Live Morgan rear Ripley

772
00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:35.119
match or the Damien Priest Gunther match. One of those

773
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:38.519
matches I feel like right now is it either opens

774
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:40.199
Summer Slam or it's like one of the first two

775
00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.320
matches at SummerSlam, and I think there's some sort of

776
00:39:43.360 --> 00:39:46.320
screw job in either one of those. In both those matches,

777
00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:49.000
I'll say I think there's a screw job in this one.

778
00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:52.760
I think Dominic Masterio turns on rear Ripley. The best

779
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:56.000
way I can describe this for longtime wrestling fans is

780
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:59.599
the feeling I have for this one is the WrestleMania

781
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:07.639
fifteen storyline where I think China turned on Cain and

782
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:11.440
reunited with Triple H after turning her back on DX

783
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:14.480
and Triple H. And then later in the night, XPOC

784
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:19.079
had some sort of match against Seane McMahon and China

785
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:23.079
and Triple H helped Sea McMahon defeat x PAC and

786
00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.760
they join the corporation. So there's like this period of

787
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.599
time where it felt like maybe China was back with

788
00:40:29.920 --> 00:40:31.880
d X and I may have this all turned around.

789
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.559
No, you're pretty close. You're pretty close on this.

790
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.320
I remember this, so you remember that story, and it

791
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.320
was a really unique storyline that played out during a

792
00:40:38.360 --> 00:40:40.880
pay per view, and I think that this we something

793
00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:45.000
see similar, see something similar to this at SummerSlam where

794
00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.440
Ria either get screwed first, Damien gets screwed first, and

795
00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:51.719
then later in the show you've got like this huge,

796
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:54.719
one big screw job and then you've got Damien rid

797
00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:57.440
Ripley on their own island coming out of SummerSlam starting

798
00:40:57.480 --> 00:40:59.719
on Monday Night Raw. So I'm spoiling what I have

799
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:04.039
for my thoughts on Damien Priest. But nonetheless, like Doctor Trey,

800
00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:07.199
I have Lived Morgan retaining the Women's World Championship as well.

801
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:10.960
Next match here, Doctor Trey, I guess, let's get to it.

802
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:14.039
Damian Priest defends the World of Weight Championship against Gunther.

803
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.719
I'll go first. I already kind of shared my opinion

804
00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.800
on this one. I think Gunther wins the World Heavyweight

805
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.719
Championship heading into Bash of Berlin and there's some sort

806
00:41:22.719 --> 00:41:24.199
of screw job against Damien Priest.

807
00:41:25.679 --> 00:41:28.000
Yeah, I that was kind of my thought process as well,

808
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.199
because if you look at it, Judgment Day as a

809
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:33.719
group is a heel faction. You've seen Finn, You've seen

810
00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:39.679
with j D McDonough, Carlito Dominic, but Damian Priest and

811
00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:42.960
Rhea are booked as babyfaces. So what you were saying earlier,

812
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:44.599
I had the same thoughts. One of the things when

813
00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:47.960
my clues was on Raw, how Gunther kind of put

814
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:52.440
over his admiration for Finn Balor as well heading into

815
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:52.960
that match.

816
00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:55.559
So I'm went, I'm taking guntherer.

817
00:41:55.320 --> 00:41:58.400
To win and some kind of Finn Balor or Finn

818
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.760
Balor lived Morgan, Dominic, Carlito, j D mcdonne' screw job

819
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:06.800
to basically excommunicate Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley from the

820
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:07.400
Judgment Day.

821
00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.159
So they go, both of us going on some sort

822
00:42:09.199 --> 00:42:10.920
of screw job. I think, if you're gonna do this,

823
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:12.960
it has to happen in SummerSlam, and you have to

824
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.599
have something memorable at a memorable show. You can't save

825
00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:17.679
it for like Bash of Berlin or anything else after that.

826
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:21.000
So i think it's happened in SummerSlam. Next match here,

827
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:23.920
I'm really stoked for this one. Cmpunk versus Drew McIntyre

828
00:42:23.960 --> 00:42:26.880
with Seth Freakin Rollins. It's a special guest referee. Obviously,

829
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:29.559
everybody's getting Sumerslam ninety seven vibes with Brett Hart versus

830
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:32.679
Undertaken with Sean Michaels as the referee in that one.

831
00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:34.880
This is gonna be an exciting one, Doctor Trey. This

832
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:38.920
is arguably, at least in my opinion, we's few of

833
00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:41.519
the years so far and they have not even wrestled

834
00:42:41.559 --> 00:42:43.719
one single match, Doctor Trey, Who do you like in

835
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:45.639
this one? Cmpunk versus Drew McIntyre.

836
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:49.400
See, it was weird because up until Monday, I was

837
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.320
like all on the Drew McIntire trade, but then they

838
00:42:51.519 --> 00:42:56.239
referenced SummerSlam ninety seven during raw and I'm like, man,

839
00:42:56.320 --> 00:42:59.480
they can't do the same exact finish, so that kind

840
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.519
of screws it up. Do you have Drew Louse, who

841
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:04.800
really hasn't won a big match in a while. Do

842
00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:09.719
you have Punk lose his first in ring singles match back, Like,

843
00:43:10.360 --> 00:43:13.400
this was really really hard for me. I'm gonna take

844
00:43:13.719 --> 00:43:16.760
Drew getting the win, just because I think Drew needs

845
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:19.360
it more than Punk, and then this can set up

846
00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:21.639
Punk and Rollins to go off on their own thing.

847
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:25.840
So I'm gonna take Drew getting the win here at SummerSlam.

848
00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:29.119
Yeah, I like you, Doctor Trey. Drew McIntyre getting the

849
00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:34.320
victory as well. I think maybe Seampunk spoiled this match.

850
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.239
In an interviewer I read, he was asked about his

851
00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:39.400
feud with Drew mcatyre and he said it's been like

852
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:43.320
good or whatever. He's enjoyed it, but he's he's won

853
00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.159
and done after SummerSlam and he wants to move on

854
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:48.400
to something else. I don't think that was in like

855
00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.559
a character thing. I think that was like legitimately how

856
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.960
he felt, which is a shame because this field has

857
00:43:53.000 --> 00:43:56.000
been brilliant and they haven't wrestled one single match. So

858
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:57.519
once I saw that, I was like, all right, Seth

859
00:43:57.519 --> 00:44:02.559
Freaking's Rollins is causing seam Punk the match, and Drew

860
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:04.840
mcatyre gets a victory, and then we see Drew McIntyre.

861
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.119
Maybe he goes off to Bash of Berlin to take

862
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:09.960
on count for the World Away Championship, and then Seampunk

863
00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:12.360
versus Seth Freaking Rowlinds, which is the match we thought

864
00:44:12.440 --> 00:44:14.679
was going to be getting taking place at Wrestlemanda forty

865
00:44:14.800 --> 00:44:18.239
now gets built up for however long. Maybe it's immediate,

866
00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:19.960
Maybe it's at the end of this month of Bascher Berlin.

867
00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.320
Maybe it's held until Survivor series that was just announced

868
00:44:23.360 --> 00:44:26.000
for Vancouver and November thirtieth. So both of us taking

869
00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:28.239
Drew Mcatarre in this one, and both of us having

870
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.000
some sort of another screw job where Seth freaking Rowlins

871
00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:33.519
costs Seampunk the match, and then that takes us to

872
00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:37.719
the undisputed w Championship match. Doctor Trey's Cody Rhodes defends

873
00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:40.920
against Solo Socoa. I will go first in this one.

874
00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:43.679
I am gonna take Cody Rhoads to retain the undisputed

875
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:48.440
w WEE Championship. And I also have Roman Reigns making

876
00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:51.039
his long waited return and a long weight it's only

877
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:54.360
been like four three or four months to WAI to

878
00:44:54.559 --> 00:44:57.920
kick off his feud with the new blood line Solo,

879
00:44:58.000 --> 00:45:01.480
so Coa's bloodline moving forward. So I've got Cody Roads

880
00:45:01.519 --> 00:45:02.400
retaining Doctor Trey.

881
00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:07.519
Yeah, I have Cody retaining as well as much as

882
00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:08.440
I like Solo.

883
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:12.400
I don't think he's world champion material, Like, I don't

884
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.320
think he's a world champion character yet, I still think

885
00:45:15.320 --> 00:45:16.840
he's got a little bit to go, and I think

886
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:19.679
the return of Roman Reigns and him being featured in

887
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:23.360
his storyline with Old Bloodline New blood Line will help

888
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:26.280
elevate him to that level. This also goes into my

889
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.800
Sammy's name prediction as well, because all the talk of

890
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.800
Sammy on Monday Night about you know, his being able

891
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:34.519
to be in the ring with his dog jay Usso,

892
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:38.079
and jay Usso making the save against the Judgment Day

893
00:45:38.199 --> 00:45:43.159
does kind of lead credence to Og Bloodline versus New Bloodline.

894
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.440
At some point. So I'm taking Cody retaining.

895
00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:47.920
I think Roman makes the save to close out the

896
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:51.119
show when the New blood Line is beating down Cody

897
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:52.639
and Roman makes the saves.

898
00:45:53.199 --> 00:45:57.000
Doctor Trey who main events SummerSlam. I'm gonna go Cody

899
00:45:57.039 --> 00:45:57.440
and solo.

900
00:45:58.719 --> 00:45:58.920
Yeah.

901
00:45:59.000 --> 00:46:01.360
I mean, if it wasn't like if you took Roman

902
00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:03.239
out of the equation, I would I would have probably

903
00:46:03.280 --> 00:46:06.039
given it to Drew and Seth. But if you're gonna

904
00:46:06.079 --> 00:46:09.920
have Roman Reigns and that save may not be him

905
00:46:09.960 --> 00:46:14.119
actually physically interacting with Solo, but more just making the

906
00:46:14.199 --> 00:46:17.119
appearance and the bloodline backing down. But if you're having

907
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:19.400
Roman appear on the show, then Cody and Solo got

908
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:20.199
to close out the show.

909
00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:22.320
Yeah. I think Roman is appearing and I think they

910
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.639
close it out. And if they open up the show,

911
00:46:24.800 --> 00:46:27.039
Roman's not appearing. I can't say that being something that

912
00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:29.679
opens up the show like Roman's back and people are buzzing.

913
00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:32.800
If they are the main event, then get ready to

914
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:34.960
put your ones up because the tribal chief is making

915
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:38.559
his return to w W. There are four legit matches

916
00:46:38.639 --> 00:46:40.679
that you could argue should be in the main event

917
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:43.400
spot Live Morgan, Ria, Ripley, Punk and Drew with Seth

918
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:46.639
as the referee, Priest Gunther, and Cody and Solo. But

919
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:49.320
both of us are in agreement here. That'll be Cody

920
00:46:49.360 --> 00:46:52.559
and Solo closing out the show on Saturday night. So

921
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:55.599
there you go. W SummerSlam preview predictions in the books.

922
00:46:55.639 --> 00:46:57.360
We will recap and review it for you all on

923
00:46:57.440 --> 00:47:01.159
