- 1:16Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly where he is, because last night
- 1:20Speaker 2: Josh lost his title that you lost the Grill Up
- 1:24Speaker 2: Predictions Championship. Not to me, no, that's okay, but to
- 1:29Speaker 2: Hollywood Jeff Petty, who is now again the champ we'll
- 1:34Speaker 2: say if I can defend it. Probably not, But the
- 1:37Speaker 2: fact that Josh is so upset that he didn't even
- 1:42Speaker 2: bring Yes, you're right, he's not even he's not here.
- 1:45Speaker 2: We haven't heard from him. But I have it on
- 1:49Speaker 2: good authority that he has found a cave and he
- 1:53Speaker 2: has walked deep into that cave.
- 1:55Speaker 1: He has to belt with him. He does like he's Schmiegel. Yes,
- 1:59Speaker 1: he's Smigel Smigel, Yes, Segel Spiegelgel. Yeah, not Schmiegelgel.
- 2:08Speaker 2: Hey, they're going to come after me about well you No, No,
- 2:12Speaker 2: I don't want him to get me about I wish
- 2:13Speaker 2: we had I wish hey the Irish.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not Smiegel, he's Josh is Schmiegel, Smigel Smigel. Yes,
- 2:21Speaker 1: I wish we had an animator to animate all of that.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Josh col Irish. You're not going to take me about.
- 2:34Speaker 1: No, obviously not, because you're taking me about how would
- 2:37Speaker 1: my pens stay? Well, you know what, maybe he should
- 2:41Speaker 1: not have chose the actual TBS belt.
- 2:45Speaker 2: I have no idea what he was doing. I don't
- 2:47Speaker 2: know either. Really, he brought this on himself. He kind
- 2:51Speaker 2: of did everything that's bad that happens to him. He
- 2:53Speaker 2: brings on himself.
- 2:55Speaker 1: He he only got one match right.
- 2:58Speaker 2: Which one was it? I can't remember. I'll be honest,
- 3:02Speaker 2: I'm not even going to look up to see which
- 3:04Speaker 2: one he get right. No, because the fact that he
- 3:07Speaker 2: got any of them right with his picks was one
- 3:10Speaker 2: to two many.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I am looking real quick to see which match he
- 3:14Speaker 1: did get right, and I think it was the Oh
- 3:18Speaker 1: it was uh Osprey and and swerve. Okay, he did
- 3:24Speaker 1: get that one right. That was the only one he
- 3:26Speaker 1: got right.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know which ones you got right. You
- 3:29Speaker 2: got two though, Yeah, I have no idea. Yeah, I
- 3:31Speaker 2: don't know either. I got four.
- 3:33Speaker 1: So the final score four aw all in is me
- 3:38Speaker 1: with four, Jason with two.
- 3:39Speaker 2: And Josh with only one point. Yes, yeah, but he did.
- 3:47Speaker 1: I don't know how he did this, but he was
- 3:49Speaker 1: able to get into the rundown and he put down
- 3:50Speaker 1: his predictions for evolution.
- 3:53Speaker 2: Okay, they're in the document. I don't know how.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I haven't looking at it this morning putting it together,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and I just saw that he did that. But we
- 4:03Speaker 1: still have not heard from him.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Well, listen, since you mentioned all in, yes, and since
- 4:10Speaker 2: I'm tired of talking about Josh.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Yeah, you're tired of talking about Josh.
- 4:15Speaker 2: I am the only person I'm more tired of talking
- 4:18Speaker 2: about is Bill Goldberg, and I don't know any reason
- 4:22Speaker 2: why we'd have to bring him up on this show.
- 4:24Speaker 1: Oh boy, you're going to hate me.
- 4:26Speaker 2: But one person I do want to talk about is
- 4:30Speaker 2: Adam Cole. Pulled from all In. Yes, unfortunately. What's going on, Jeff?
- 4:36Speaker 2: What's happening?
- 4:37Speaker 1: According to Fightful, select word is backstage that Adam Cole
- 4:41Speaker 1: has suffered yet another concussion. The belief is that he
- 4:45Speaker 1: suffered this within the past week. The decision to pull
- 4:48Speaker 1: him from the show came early yesterday morning, so Saturday morning,
- 4:52Speaker 1: his All In match was changed to a fatal four
- 4:55Speaker 1: way match for the vacant TNT title, with Dustin Rhodes
- 4:58Speaker 1: and Sammy Gavar pulling double duty. Dustin Rhodes did win
- 5:02Speaker 1: the vacant title. Now, Adam Cole has not been in
- 5:07Speaker 1: the ring very much.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the TNT.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Title itself has been a little more visible than it
- 5:12Speaker 1: was with Daniel Garcia. But they've had Adam Cole one
- 5:15Speaker 1: commentary a lot on collision. Okay, some people rumor has
- 5:22Speaker 1: it is that he We don't know. We think that
- 5:26Speaker 1: maybe this might be the end for Adam Cole's career.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Really, he did talk yesterday.
- 5:31Speaker 1: He came out and he spoke to the fans at
- 5:33Speaker 1: aw all in he mentioned the word retirement, okay, and
- 5:38Speaker 1: it was you know, it's not that he's retiring now,
- 5:41Speaker 1: but he kind of needs to take this into consideration
- 5:46Speaker 1: because this has been something that has plugged him is
- 5:49Speaker 1: concussion injuries.
- 5:51Speaker 2: You know, for some reason, it seems like concussions are
- 5:54Speaker 2: one of the major issues in professional wrestling. For the
- 5:58Speaker 2: life of me, I couldn't imagine. And why Yeah, because
- 6:01Speaker 2: it's all fake. Well, according to some people it is.
- 6:04Speaker 2: It's scripted. Okay, We've had this conversation before and we're
- 6:09Speaker 2: about to have it again. I'm okay with that.
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yeah, because some people might tune into this on fourteen
- 6:15Speaker 1: ninety am or five eighty am.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Because we are West Virginia's only radio show we about
- 6:20Speaker 2: professional wrestling. There's many radio shows in West Virginia.
- 6:24Speaker 1: There's like fifteen that come out of this building a loan,
- 6:27Speaker 1: but we are the only professional wrestling radio show in
- 6:29Speaker 1: the state of West Virginia. Yes, I hate calling professional
- 6:33Speaker 1: wrestling fake. I hate it when people call it fake. Yes,
- 6:36Speaker 1: because it is not fake. It is predetermined. Yes, it
- 6:41Speaker 1: is choreographed, Yes it is scripted, it is scripted, all
- 6:46Speaker 1: of that, but it is not fake at all.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Yeah, Like look at the.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Look at the main event last night for all in
- 6:56Speaker 1: there was a fakeness with what the with the Texas
- 7:00Speaker 1: death Match. Whether you like death matches or not, there
- 7:04Speaker 1: was nothing fake about that there.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You can't fake some of the stuff that I.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Can't say on the air due to FCC stuff that
- 7:12Speaker 1: was going on in that match. How many injuries have
- 7:17Speaker 1: we seen from a move that was done one hundred
- 7:22Speaker 1: times before and just so happened took this person out?
- 7:25Speaker 2: Like whatever? I mean?
- 7:28Speaker 1: Look at seth Rawlins. Seth Rawlins right now, we'll just
- 7:31Speaker 1: throw this out there. He he may be out. He
- 7:35Speaker 1: had an injury on Saturday Night's main Events.
- 7:38Speaker 2: What happened? I didn't see it?
- 7:39Speaker 1: So fightful select is reporting that seth Rawlins is legitimately
- 7:43Speaker 1: injured in his match with La Knight at Saturday Night's
- 7:47Speaker 1: main event. You could see Rawlins he's performing a moon
- 7:49Speaker 1: salt off of the ropes and he's he lands flat
- 7:53Speaker 1: on his feet, but he immediately brings his right leg
- 7:56Speaker 1: up and starts favoring his right knee.
- 7:59Speaker 2: Now, is that the same knee that he injured whenever
- 8:02Speaker 2: he did the sunset bomb out of the corner?
- 8:04Speaker 1: I think so. I'm almost positive that might be. That
- 8:09Speaker 1: might be the same injury, because, like concussions with Adam Cole,
- 8:15Speaker 1: knee injuries have been a big problem for seth Rawlins
- 8:20Speaker 1: now because of this, Okay, Brian Alvarez reported that the
- 8:24Speaker 1: last forty minutes of Saturday Night's main event had to
- 8:27Speaker 1: be rescripted, like on the five. Apparently something was supposed
- 8:32Speaker 1: to happen that involves seth Rawlins last night, Saturday Night,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and it did not happen because of his injury.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Again, it's a move that he has.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Performed one hundred thousand times, thousands of times, hundreds of
- 8:46Speaker 1: times whatever, and just so happens, this was the one
- 8:50Speaker 1: he lands just a little awkwardly and does something to
- 8:55Speaker 1: his knee. We don't know the extent of the injury,
- 9:00Speaker 1: but we do know that it We do know, according
- 9:05Speaker 1: to reports, that he is legitimately injured, which apparently which
- 9:09Speaker 1: real quick throws a huge wrench apparently into SummerSlam. Well yeah, yeah,
- 9:15Speaker 1: like they apparently there's there's all kinds of plans they
- 9:17Speaker 1: had for seth Rawlins and Company. And yeah, because of this,
- 9:22Speaker 1: they they're gonna be scrambling a little bit.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Well, okay, if let's say he's out for over a year.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was out for over a year close
- 9:31Speaker 1: to a year the last time he injured his knee.
- 9:33Speaker 2: Yeah, but he has the money in the bank and
- 9:36Speaker 2: you have to cash that in within that year to
- 9:41Speaker 2: money in the bank. So do they strip him of it?
- 9:43Speaker 2: Does he hold on to it and never gets to
- 9:46Speaker 2: cash it in? What goes on that's true? Do they
- 9:50Speaker 2: do a free bird rule? And now it's brown breaker
- 9:53Speaker 2: or Paul Hayman? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know either.
- 9:59Speaker 1: I this is is very much uncharted territory for something
- 10:03Speaker 1: like money in the bank.
- 10:05Speaker 2: And I guess here's my thing. I would wait.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Until you got word on what his recovery time is
- 10:12Speaker 1: going to be. What injury does he have. If it's
- 10:15Speaker 1: a few months, take him off TV.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Just take him off TV. Don't even don't take him,
- 10:20Speaker 2: don't take the briefcase off of him. Just take him
- 10:23Speaker 2: off TV.
- 10:24Speaker 1: That way, he's away, he's out of sight.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Out of mind.
- 10:27Speaker 1: People kind of forget about the money in the bank, briefcase,
- 10:33Speaker 1: royal rumble, Bam, Rowlins is back, cash is.
- 10:36Speaker 2: In or do you have Hayman on TV holding the briefcase.
- 10:41Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's actually a good idea, you know,
- 10:44Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Yeah, like there's there's there's a few different ways you
- 10:49Speaker 1: could go about this. But I hope it's nothing too
- 10:54Speaker 1: serious with with Rowlins, and I hope it's nothing too
- 10:58Speaker 1: serious with Adam Cole. No.
- 10:59Speaker 2: I mean, I definitely hope if both of them want
- 11:02Speaker 2: to get back in the ring.
- 11:03Speaker 1: I hope they can, Yes, but I hope that they
- 11:06Speaker 1: put their health in front of their profession. Yes, which
- 11:09Speaker 1: it seems like that's exactly what's happening. Well, that's what
- 11:12Speaker 1: needs to happen, yes, with any profession. Yeah, And we
- 11:15Speaker 1: know and this is more of a more of an
- 11:17Speaker 1: old school wrestling mentality of I'm injured, I'm going to
- 11:22Speaker 1: push my way through this match. I'm going to push
- 11:24Speaker 1: through this these injuries that I have, and they just
- 11:26Speaker 1: keep mounting and mounting and outing until it gets to
- 11:29Speaker 1: the point that you can't you can barely walk. We
- 11:33Speaker 1: have the right medicine these days, we have the right technology,
- 11:37Speaker 1: the right science and everything to help such injuries, to
- 11:42Speaker 1: help people you know who who suffer these types of
- 11:45Speaker 1: injuries in athletic settings. So with that in mind, I
- 11:51Speaker 1: do I really hope that they do take their health
- 11:54Speaker 1: very seriously. It looks like Adam Cole definitely is. I
- 11:58Speaker 1: hate to hear him mention retirement. Yeah, but if that
- 12:05Speaker 1: is the route that he thinks that he needs to go,
- 12:08Speaker 1: more power to him. It's not the first time we've
- 12:10Speaker 1: seen it, and I'm sure it's not going to be
- 12:12Speaker 1: the last time we're going to see this.
- 12:14Speaker 2: No, I mean, and if it is retirement, I hate
- 12:18Speaker 2: that because you should always be able to retire on
- 12:21Speaker 2: your own terms, but sometimes that decision has to be
- 12:27Speaker 2: made for.
- 12:27Speaker 1: You, exactly, and unfortunately that decision has to be made
- 12:32Speaker 1: for you, and not everybody gets the ability to retire
- 12:36Speaker 1: on their own terms. Yes, and speaking of that, Yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 1: Goldberg had his final.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Yeah, we had to talk about.
- 12:45Speaker 1: Goldberg did indeed have his final match with Gunter at
- 12:50Speaker 1: last night, Saturday Night's main event. They went about fifteen
- 12:53Speaker 1: minutes in the ring, played to Goldberg's strength.
- 12:56Speaker 2: So they gave each other their own concussion.
- 13:00Speaker 1: I know they did not they wrestled a slower paced match.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Goldberg did have a brace on his knee, so he
- 13:07Speaker 1: worked Gunther worked the knee over a lot on him.
- 13:10Speaker 1: And I think, listen, Guther's the man. He pulled a fifteen.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Minute match out of Goldberg.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Yeah, a fifteen minute good match out of Goldberg, out
- 13:20Speaker 1: of an what almost sixty year old Goldberg.
- 13:23Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, it's Goldberg, it's what, it's Bill Goldberg.
- 13:26Speaker 2: You pulled a good match out of Goldberg.
- 13:29Speaker 1: They had various WCW legends there, including DDP and Ernest
- 13:33Speaker 1: the cat Miller. Also Doug Dellinger, who was the head
- 13:36Speaker 1: of security for WCW and would walk out as part
- 13:39Speaker 1: of the security guards for Goldberg's entrances.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Back in the day.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Also there were Josh Barnett, Chuck Zito, and Goldberg's son, Gage,
- 13:50Speaker 1: who is looks like he's larger than Bill Goldberg. Now
- 13:56Speaker 1: we're also part of his walkout from the locker room
- 13:59Speaker 1: and he did not do his traditional head button.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Well that's good, Yeah, let's got I think Gage is
- 14:04Speaker 2: a nineteen and I want to say playing going to
- 14:10Speaker 2: be playing football for Alabama? I think so. I think
- 14:13Speaker 2: he is going to play. I don't know for who.
- 14:14Speaker 1: I think he is going to be playing college football somewhere, which,
- 14:18Speaker 1: okay for the college football fans out there, Goldberg played
- 14:22Speaker 1: for the University of Georgia, an SEC team. Yes, how
- 14:27Speaker 1: much of a slap in the face is that that
- 14:29Speaker 1: your son's going to play for the SEC but not
- 14:31Speaker 1: for the University of Georgia.
- 14:33Speaker 2: He's going to go for the Alabama Crimson tid. I
- 14:35Speaker 2: mean if in my mind, uh, it should be well,
- 14:44Speaker 2: my son is going to a school that's giving him
- 14:47Speaker 2: the best deal and he's not having to do exactly
- 14:53Speaker 2: what I did because I am such a self indulged
- 14:57Speaker 2: person that anyone in my fa amly has to do
- 15:01Speaker 2: the same exact thing as me. Very true. That's just
- 15:04Speaker 2: my opinion. No, no, no, no, it's a solid one. No,
- 15:07Speaker 2: I think Goldberg, Bill Goldberg, Bill would be that kind
- 15:11Speaker 2: of person.
- 15:12Speaker 1: I don't know, We don't know, I don't We don't
- 15:14Speaker 1: know Bill Goldberg personally.
- 15:17Speaker 2: But he did have his retirement match last night. He's
- 15:20Speaker 2: so he's done. He never have to talk about Bill Golder.
- 15:23Speaker 2: We never have to talk about Bill until they put
- 15:25Speaker 2: him in the Hall of Fame.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, until he until we get around Hall of
- 15:30Speaker 1: Fame season and.
- 15:31Speaker 2: You know they're gonna do it. How much you want
- 15:35Speaker 2: to bet right now?
- 15:36Speaker 1: Episode ninety of the Grill Outs on July thirteenth, Also
- 15:40Speaker 1: my anniversary, Yeah it's I and anniversary July thirteenth. Yes,
- 15:46Speaker 1: episode ninety of the Grill Out. Yes, are you calling
- 15:48Speaker 1: it right now? That Goldberg is going to be in
- 15:50Speaker 1: the Class of twenty twenty six Hall of Fame.
- 15:52Speaker 2: Okay, Bill Goldberg, Bill is going to be. But I'm
- 15:58Speaker 2: going to ask you this, Jeff, who inducts him? Oh hmm,
- 16:07Speaker 2: that's a good question because I think I know who.
- 16:10Speaker 2: Go ahead, but I want to hear yours. You want
- 16:13Speaker 2: to hear mine first?
- 16:13Speaker 1: Yes, this would be kind of out of left field.
- 16:17Speaker 1: But from my understanding, they are decent friends Stone Cold.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Oh yeah, even though they were they were very like
- 16:27Speaker 1: one was in WWF the other was in w CW.
- 16:30Speaker 2: From my understanding they are friends another, so I don't
- 16:33Speaker 2: know that was always the comparison. Though. People wanted to
- 16:36Speaker 2: see Goldberg versus Austin, Yeah they did.
- 16:38Speaker 1: It was because of the the way they look.
- 16:41Speaker 2: The bald head, goate, black trunks, black boots. Yeah, one
- 16:45Speaker 2: could have a good match. And the other one was
- 16:47Speaker 2: Bill Goldberg. Yes, exactly. So here's who I think. Okay,
- 16:51Speaker 2: Brett Hart.
- 16:54Speaker 1: You know you think Brett Hart would induct Bill Goldberg.
- 16:59Speaker 2: I want him to, why because I want to hear
- 17:03Speaker 2: what he's gonna say before Bill Goldberg comes out.
- 17:07Speaker 1: Do you do you think that he has a Do
- 17:10Speaker 1: you think he has a short speech or.
- 17:12Speaker 2: A long speech? Oh, a very long speech. None of
- 17:15Speaker 2: it will be anything good about Bill Goldberg? Oh my god.
- 17:19Speaker 1: No, Like he like he does it, but he does
- 17:22Speaker 1: not mention Goldberg at all.
- 17:25Speaker 2: Like he just mentions his his career. Brett, Like Brett
- 17:27Speaker 2: just talks about his career the whole time. I think
- 17:30Speaker 2: he should. Brett's career was a lot better than Bill Goldberg.
- 17:36Speaker 2: There's so many people that are booing you right now.
- 17:38Speaker 2: That's fine, It's okay, that's fine, it's okay.
- 17:40Speaker 1: Whenever I mentioned how much I like a ew, I'm
- 17:42Speaker 1: sure I got people booing me.
- 17:44Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, it's I don't care. I don't either.
- 17:47Speaker 2: It's it's all fun. A boo is still a reaction.
- 17:49Speaker 1: It is, it is, and your boos mean nothing because
- 17:52Speaker 1: we see what you cheer for.
- 17:54Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, I don't care. Yeah, I don't. I don't know.
- 17:56Speaker 2: I think it's perfectly fine to like Bill Goldberg. It is.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I know plenty of people that are not hardcore fans
- 18:04Speaker 1: of professional wrestling but heard about like when Bill, when
- 18:08Speaker 1: Bill Goldberg, when Coldberg originally came back and faced Brockelsner
- 18:13Speaker 1: in that squash match at survivorcy. I had a lot
- 18:16Speaker 1: of people who hadn't followed wrestling in a long time
- 18:19Speaker 1: come and talk to me like, hey, I saw Goldberg's back,
- 18:22Speaker 1: and they're sitting there talking to me about it, and
- 18:24Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, cool, cool cool, which that one was
- 18:27Speaker 1: okay up until they put the title on them.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Yeah, never should have No, he never should have beaten
- 18:32Speaker 2: the fiend. I think the initial Bill Goldberg experiment in
- 18:37Speaker 2: WCW was a great success for them. Absolutely. They knew
- 18:42Speaker 2: what Bill Goldberg's strengths and weaknesses were. Yes, so they
- 18:46Speaker 2: only had Bill Goldberg in short squash matches, you know,
- 18:50Speaker 2: and then if they needed Bill Goldberg to be in
- 18:53Speaker 2: a longer match, they made it heavy. Reason. How many
- 18:56Speaker 2: people do you think are listening right now and from
- 18:59Speaker 2: here on out, whenever they think of Goldberg, they're going
- 19:01Speaker 2: to immediately say Bill Goldberg. I hoop all of them
- 19:03Speaker 2: because as many times as we it's it's even caught me.
- 19:07Speaker 1: I want to say Goldberg, but I don't like Bill Goldberg. Goldberg,
- 19:09Speaker 1: Bill Goldberg, that's for you, Brett, Bill Goldberg. It was
- 19:14Speaker 1: also announced yesterday on NXT The Great American Bash that
- 19:19Speaker 1: NXT heat Wave will take place Saturday, August twenty fourth.
- 19:23Speaker 1: This will be the same day as AEW and NJPW
- 19:27Speaker 1: Forbidden to wors.
- 19:28Speaker 2: What another counter programming? No, no, not competition? Then why
- 19:33Speaker 2: treat like competition?
- 19:35Speaker 1: You know.
- 19:38Speaker 2: It's annoying, Yes, it really is. Now.
- 19:40Speaker 1: I will say this past weekend was fantastic for professional wrestling,
- 19:44Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic, from Ring of Honor, a Supercard of Honor,
- 19:49Speaker 1: to NXT Great American Bash Saturday night's main event last night,
- 19:54Speaker 1: aw all In yesterday, as well to WWE Evolution today.
- 20:00Speaker 2: But I think when.
- 20:01Speaker 1: You book it like that, when you book matches like that,
- 20:04Speaker 1: when you book shows like that to counter program this,
- 20:09Speaker 1: like just to do just to counter program AEW on
- 20:12Speaker 1: some of their bigger shows, you are hurting your own product. Yes,
- 20:16Speaker 1: you are just being a detriment to your own product,
- 20:18Speaker 1: which is unfair to the talent. You look petty, yes,
- 20:22Speaker 1: and that listen, my last name is petty. And I
- 20:24Speaker 1: don't approve that of that level of pettiness. I'd like
- 20:26Speaker 1: a good dose, like if Brett Hart came out and did,
- 20:30Speaker 1: in fact, induct Goldberg Bill Goldberg.
- 20:34Speaker 2: And spent like ten minutes talking about his own career.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Some people may not like it.
- 20:39Speaker 1: I will laugh because I'm like, Okay, that's a level
- 20:42Speaker 1: of petty. I don't know if I want to aspire
- 20:43Speaker 1: to it, but I can respect it. To constantly be
- 20:47Speaker 1: counter programming aew and essentially showing everybody, yeah, they are
- 20:52Speaker 1: our competition.
- 20:54Speaker 2: It is.
- 20:55Speaker 1: It's a level of petty I don't want to be
- 20:57Speaker 1: at because to me, it's punching down. Yes, Like why
- 21:01Speaker 1: do you feel the need to punch down? Yes, Like
- 21:04Speaker 1: just go back, go back to the old days with WWE,
- 21:06Speaker 1: when you just ignored everybody outside of the w W bubble.
- 21:11Speaker 2: No, don't do that, don't do I almost think that
- 21:14Speaker 2: just doing that is a bigger is a bigger flex
- 21:19Speaker 2: than constantly counter programming, because then it's like, Okay, we're
- 21:24Speaker 2: not even worried about them, like we we don't.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Care they like, how long was it that like TNA
- 21:33Speaker 1: was going.
- 21:34Speaker 2: On, never mentioned on WWE programming. Same for Ring of Honor.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I mean Ring of Honor really wasn't mentioned on WWE
- 21:42Speaker 1: programming into what the pipe bomb? I think there may
- 21:45Speaker 1: it may have been mentioned a couple times before that,
- 21:47Speaker 1: but I know the pipe bomb, it was really apparent
- 21:50Speaker 1: what he was saying.
- 21:52Speaker 2: So, yeah, I don't I don't understand it.
- 21:56Speaker 1: Maybe it's because I'm not a business person, so I
- 21:59Speaker 1: just it makes it does It makes you look childish,
- 22:02Speaker 1: it makes you look weak, and it is a detriment
- 22:06Speaker 1: to your own product.
- 22:08Speaker 2: Like how many people do you think maybe wanted to.
- 22:10Speaker 1: Watch Great American Bash yesterday, but it was like, Hey,
- 22:14Speaker 1: I paid fifty dollars for this pay per view with
- 22:16Speaker 1: AW I'm going to watch this pay per view. Or
- 22:18Speaker 1: they're like, hey, I want to watch Saturday Night's main event,
- 22:21Speaker 1: but we still have two matches to go on all in,
- 22:25Speaker 1: so I'm going to.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Miss the opening to Saturday Night's main event. It's like,
- 22:30Speaker 2: why can't they put Bill Goldberg at the very beginning
- 22:34Speaker 2: of Saturday Night's main event so I don't have to
- 22:36Speaker 2: worry about catching the beginning. That's true.
- 22:39Speaker 1: Now, last Berg did say Bill Goldberg, You're really trying
- 22:44Speaker 1: to get that.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Over last night.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Bill Goldberg did say he was like, I guess thanking
- 22:51Speaker 1: everybody went in the ring and the feed cut him off.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I'm like, okay, that was well, you see
- 22:58Speaker 2: I have it on good authority that back in the network,
- 23:03Speaker 2: that where Josh is maybe maybe okay, that in the
- 23:09Speaker 2: television truck, the control room for all television. Brett Hart
- 23:16Speaker 2: flipped the switch.
- 23:19Speaker 1: He was like, I'm gonna get one last one over
- 23:22Speaker 1: on your Bill Goldberg's Oh boy, all right, let's switch
- 23:27Speaker 1: gears to On this day in wrestling history, July thirteenth,
- 23:45Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, e CW heat Wave ninety six took
- 23:48Speaker 1: place at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Go look it up, Google it.
- 23:56Speaker 1: The main events saw The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, and Terry
- 23:59Speaker 1: Gordy defeat Even Stevie Richards and Brian Lee in a
- 24:02Speaker 1: Rage in the Cage match. A pre match stipulation said
- 24:06Speaker 1: that if anyone pinned Richards in the match, that man
- 24:10Speaker 1: would win Raven's ECW World Championship. Sandman pinned Raven for
- 24:15Speaker 1: the win, so the title change didn't happen. One title
- 24:19Speaker 1: change that did occur was Shane Douglas winning the ECW
- 24:22Speaker 1: World Television title in a four way elimination bout against
- 24:27Speaker 1: reigning champion Chris Jericho Pitball Number two and.
- 24:30Speaker 2: Two Cold Scorpio.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Then, on July thirteenth, two thousand and five, Matt Hardy,
- 24:38Speaker 1: who invaded Raw in a work shoot angle two days prior,
- 24:41Speaker 1: called into WWE's Bite This Internet Call in show to
- 24:45Speaker 1: take aim at the show's guest lead up the angle.
- 24:49Speaker 1: The angle both were working was derived entirely from the
- 24:52Speaker 1: very real life situation with the lead of cheating on
- 24:55Speaker 1: then boyfriend Hardy with Edge while the former was off
- 24:59Speaker 1: the road nursing an injury. On the show, Hardy aired
- 25:03Speaker 1: all the dirty laundry from their real life and deliberately
- 25:06Speaker 1: addressed her as Amy dumas her real name rather.
- 25:10Speaker 2: Than Lyda.
- 25:13Speaker 3: Oh Yeah.
- 25:13Speaker 2: Then work shoots Brother, and.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Then finally, on July thirteenth, twenty sixteen, a champion versus
- 25:20Speaker 1: champion match took place at the TNA Impact Wrestling tapings
- 25:24Speaker 1: at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. DNA World Heavyweight Champion
- 25:30Speaker 1: Bobby Lashley defeated X Division Champion Eddie Edwards to win
- 25:34Speaker 1: Edwards title, and we're going to take a quick break
- 25:37Speaker 1: and when we come back, we have WWE Evolution Predictions.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Stay tuned. This conference worth the grow out.
- 25:55Speaker 3: Here's Mollywood, Jeff Page.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Well the back, ladies and gentlemen to the grill out.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I'm your host, Hollywood, Jeff Petty, and I'm joined here
- 26:05Speaker 1: with the reflection of Perfection jasonly Likens.
- 26:09Speaker 2: Yes you are, Yes, I am, And here we go
- 26:14Speaker 2: with Evolution predictions. First of all, WWE get better with
- 26:19Speaker 2: the women's division. Absolutely, absolutely put effort into it. Yes.
- 26:23Speaker 2: The fact that this has just all kind of been
- 26:26Speaker 2: haphazardly put together for Evolution two is pathetic. Yes.
- 26:31Speaker 1: And the fact that it's been seven years Yeah, yeah,
- 26:35Speaker 1: seven years since the last Evolution pay per view. Like
- 26:39Speaker 1: you have the talent, you have it, use it, yes,
- 26:44Speaker 1: Like quit being petty. Yes, and this is coming from
- 26:47Speaker 1: a guy whose last name is Petty again.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Stop with the counterprogramming. Yes. If you're going to do
- 26:52Speaker 2: counter programming, make it count, make it build into something. Yes,
- 26:56Speaker 2: there is no reason why this show is getting the
- 27:03Speaker 2: short end of the stick that it is.
- 27:05Speaker 1: And before people want to say that, I like, I'm
- 27:08Speaker 1: an aw fanboy, I have sung the praises of Triple
- 27:11Speaker 1: H on this program. Yes, I think he's been doing
- 27:14Speaker 1: up until here recently a very good job booking. Yes,
- 27:18Speaker 1: I think you know, he has had some fall off
- 27:22Speaker 1: here and there, which is to be expected of a
- 27:24Speaker 1: product that big. Yes, quit getting lazy with your booking. Yes,
- 27:31Speaker 1: just quit getting lazy with it. I I it's it's very,
- 27:36Speaker 1: very frustrating to to be a be a fan of
- 27:39Speaker 1: professional wrestling and see this.
- 27:41Speaker 2: I don't like the tribalistic stuff as it is. No,
- 27:43Speaker 2: I think you can like WWE, you can like AW,
- 27:49Speaker 2: you can like Maple Leaf, you can like New Japan,
- 27:51Speaker 2: you can like any of them. You can just like
- 27:54Speaker 2: progress sling.
- 27:54Speaker 1: We actually had a gentleman uh last weekend at Regatta.
- 28:00Speaker 2: While we were at Slamburrie.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Tell us that he he prefers the local stuff over
- 28:07Speaker 1: the national stuff.
- 28:08Speaker 2: And that's okay. Yeah, I mean that's great.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Yes, that's absolutely that's perfectly fine.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Well, again, on a quick tangent here local stuff, you're
- 28:17Speaker 2: getting a cheaper product, so it is something that you
- 28:22Speaker 2: can actually go to, you can afford good seats to
- 28:25Speaker 2: go to. You know, they're not price gouging you. You know,
- 28:30Speaker 2: they're not charging four digits for nosebleed sections at a
- 28:35Speaker 2: local event, you're paying twenty five dollars for ringside. Yeah,
- 28:41Speaker 2: you get to meet the wrestlers, you get to talk
- 28:46Speaker 2: to them. While we were sitting there at Slambury, how
- 28:48Speaker 2: many people did you say, walk up to George South
- 28:51Speaker 2: and huff Manly Quite a few?
- 28:53Speaker 1: Yeah, they and they greeted fans, took pictures with them,
- 28:56Speaker 1: sold merchandise. Yeah, like that is the wonderful most That
- 29:00Speaker 1: is the great thing about local wrestling is how much
- 29:04Speaker 1: access you get.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Now, don't don't be a jerk.
- 29:06Speaker 1: Obviously we've we've talked about on the show about not
- 29:09Speaker 1: being those fans.
- 29:10Speaker 2: Yes, don't be those fans.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Be respectful of them, be respectful of their boundaries. But
- 29:15Speaker 1: if you have, if you're sitting there and you're listening
- 29:17Speaker 1: to this show and you got a kid that like, hey,
- 29:20Speaker 1: my kid really is in the wrestling, like like really
- 29:23Speaker 1: getting into it, I want to take them to.
- 29:24Speaker 2: A show, Take them to a local show. I meant.
- 29:28Speaker 1: We got a segment coming up here in about twenty
- 29:30Speaker 1: minutes called the main Event where we go ahead and
- 29:33Speaker 1: let you know what your upcoming week of professional wrestling
- 29:36Speaker 1: is going to look like internationally, nationally and locally. Yes,
- 29:40Speaker 1: we always make sure the local shows get their due diligence,
- 29:45Speaker 1: So yes, and real quick. I do want to say
- 29:47Speaker 1: the gentleman that I did talk to at Sir Pro
- 29:50Speaker 1: Tim McDaniel, Okay, yes, it was very hot at Regatta. Yes,
- 29:57Speaker 1: thankfully Jason went and got the car. I was not
- 30:00Speaker 1: going too well because of the heat.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 30:02Speaker 1: I had to drink a lot of water, a lot
- 30:03Speaker 1: of fluids, get a lot of fluids on me at once,
- 30:06Speaker 1: uh surfro and then were able to They had a
- 30:08Speaker 1: tint set up that had misters yea, yeah, yeah, I
- 30:12Speaker 1: had a lot of mysters in it and some fans
- 30:15Speaker 1: and that that saved the day for me. Like that
- 30:17Speaker 1: really helped me at that point, not just with you know, coupled.
- 30:20Speaker 2: With the work that you did, Jason, like helping me, You.
- 30:24Speaker 1: And Josh help me get me out of that situation.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Those seven eleven gatorades are good. No, they're really good.
- 30:30Speaker 1: Oh they're fantastic, Like it's surprising how good they are.
- 30:34Speaker 1: But yeah, Tim McDaniel, he we did get a chance
- 30:36Speaker 1: to talk. He talked about how he does like some
- 30:38Speaker 1: of the local stuff. He likes more of the local stuff,
- 30:41Speaker 1: and that's that's cool, that's fine. Just want to give
- 30:43Speaker 1: a quick shout out to him. Thank you to him
- 30:45Speaker 1: for all of that and for surf Surfro having that
- 30:49Speaker 1: that tint set up, that little little area set up
- 30:51Speaker 1: so that people could cool off.
- 30:52Speaker 2: That was that was a nice touch. It was. But
- 30:54Speaker 2: you see, we we have talked more about surf Pro,
- 30:57Speaker 2: We have talked more about local wrestling then all of
- 31:01Speaker 2: WWE has done with evolution two exactly. And that's bad.
- 31:06Speaker 2: That is the problem.
- 31:07Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And and you know what, speaking of evolution,
- 31:11Speaker 1: let's go ahead and get through the let's do the
- 31:14Speaker 1: predictions and everything.
- 31:14Speaker 2: I wouldn't say, get through. Yeah, let's go ahead and
- 31:18Speaker 2: begin our predictions, our picks. Yes for WWE evolution. See
- 31:24Speaker 2: if I can finally defend a title. Probably not, Probably not. Okay,
- 31:29Speaker 2: we might have an I don't know, though, I don't know.
- 31:30Speaker 2: We might have a new champion at the end of this.
- 31:32Speaker 2: I don't know yet.
- 31:33Speaker 1: All right, Jay C Jane will be defending her NXT
- 31:35Speaker 1: Women's Championship against Jordan Grace. The winner will go on
- 31:39Speaker 1: to face DNA Knockouts World champion Masha Slamovich at TNA
- 31:43Speaker 1: slamm a Versary on July twentieth, in a winner takes
- 31:46Speaker 1: all match, Josh went with Grace Jason.
- 31:51Speaker 2: As much as I hate to, I have to agree
- 31:54Speaker 2: with them. I think that is going to be the
- 31:56Speaker 2: bigger matchup after the fact, I yeah, I think it's
- 32:01Speaker 2: gonna be Jordan Grace.
- 32:02Speaker 1: I think the connection I agree with you there, so
- 32:05Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Jordan Grace as well. I think the
- 32:07Speaker 1: connection that Jordan Grace has with TNA, it would not
- 32:11Speaker 1: I think it would be stupid to ignore that going
- 32:14Speaker 1: into this, So I think her connection that plays into this.
- 32:17Speaker 1: Jordan Grace has shown how good of a wrestler she
- 32:20Speaker 1: is since she came to NX. I mean, she was
- 32:22Speaker 1: fantastic in TNA as it was in their Knockouts Division.
- 32:25Speaker 1: She's come to NXT and really shown what she's capable of, and.
- 32:29Speaker 2: I think it's time to put the title on her. Yes.
- 32:32Speaker 1: The Judgment Day, Raquel Rodriguez and Roxane Perez will be
- 32:36Speaker 1: will defend their Women's Tag Championship against Charlotte Flair and
- 32:41Speaker 1: Alexa Bliss. Also so Ruka and Zaria also the Kabuki
- 32:47Speaker 1: Warriors Warriors in a fatal four way match. That's Oscar
- 32:53Speaker 1: and Kyrie saying, yes, they are the Kabuki Warriors. Uh,
- 32:58Speaker 1: Josh is going Ruka and Zaria, he puts, I think, ww.
- 33:02Speaker 2: How did he get into this? I have no idea.
- 33:04Speaker 2: I don't know's it's scaring me a little bit.
- 33:06Speaker 1: I think WWA are going to kind of turn Ruka
- 33:09Speaker 1: into a bit of a belt collector, as she's the
- 33:12Speaker 1: current NXT and North American Champion and WWE Women's Speed Champion.
- 33:18Speaker 2: Jason, because of what Josh said, I am strongly disagreeing.
- 33:24Speaker 1: Okay, is is the belt collector gimmick running its course?
- 33:28Speaker 2: Now? Yes, Okay, it's too much. Yeah, it's too much.
- 33:32Speaker 2: I think it's going to be Charlotte Flair and Alexa
- 33:37Speaker 2: Bliss because I think we are going to go back
- 33:41Speaker 2: to the old trope of how are these people going
- 33:44Speaker 2: to get along?
- 33:45Speaker 1: Mmm?
- 33:47Speaker 2: Fair? I'm I'm thinking wwe might be looking at this
- 33:52Speaker 2: as a way to get people to potentially like Charlotte
- 33:56Speaker 2: again because people love Alexa. Yeah, and you have Alexa
- 34:01Speaker 2: Bliss who is now back. Let's put a title on her,
- 34:03Speaker 2: let's proper up a little bit, and then let's have
- 34:07Speaker 2: Charlotte Flair there because Lord knows, we can't have titles
- 34:11Speaker 2: unless Charlotte is there. That's true, that is very true.
- 34:14Speaker 2: But I'm not going that way. Who are you? I'm
- 34:18Speaker 2: not going with Alexa Bliss Charlotte Flair. I'm not going
- 34:21Speaker 2: with the Legion of Doom. You mean the Judgment Day?
- 34:24Speaker 3: No?
- 34:24Speaker 2: I mean talk an Animal, Yes, the Legion of Doom.
- 34:29Speaker 4: What.
- 34:30Speaker 2: No, I'm not going to go them. I'm not going
- 34:33Speaker 2: to go them. I am going to go Judgment Day. Actually, okay,
- 34:38Speaker 2: why I just don't Now that Live Morgan's gone, you
- 34:43Speaker 2: think they're going to keep the titles on them. Maybe
- 34:46Speaker 2: give Roxane Perez a chance. I could see it, or
- 34:51Speaker 2: maybe this is the catalyst for being like Roxanne Perez.
- 34:54Speaker 2: You you drop the ball. We gave you a chance.
- 34:57Speaker 2: You didn't carry it, you didn't score the Oh you
- 35:00Speaker 2: dropped it, you fumbled it. You suck. I'm not saying
- 35:04Speaker 2: she does. I'm saying, yeah, you know you're flat. Now
- 35:08Speaker 2: I'm going Judgment Day. Okay, that's gonna be my final answer. Uh.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Evolution battle Royal for a Women's World Championship match at
- 35:16Speaker 1: Clash in Paris on August thirty, first, twenty confirmed participants

- 36:08Speaker 2: a kind of a surprise entrant. There pages in the page. Yes,
- 36:18Speaker 2: the I'm confused right now page as in left wwe
- 36:26Speaker 2: went to aw.
- 36:27Speaker 1: Oh oh okay.
- 36:30Speaker 2: Who do you think I was talking? You know? Maybe?
- 36:34Speaker 3: No?
- 36:35Speaker 2: No. I think here's the thing I have been saying
- 36:39Speaker 2: for far too long that it's going to be a
- 36:41Speaker 2: j Lee. Yeah. I want it to be aj Lee.
- 36:44Speaker 2: I want aj Lee back, which makes sense because the
- 36:47Speaker 2: Mpunk's back in w W. Now, Yeah, do I think
- 36:51Speaker 2: this would be the perfect pay per view for aj
- 36:54Speaker 2: Lee to come back? Yes, yes I do. But Paige
- 37:02Speaker 2: Sorayah is now a free agent. Okay, I'm I'm going.
- 37:09Speaker 2: You're putting it out into the universe. I am, I am,
- 37:12Speaker 2: I am pushing all my chips into the pot. I
- 37:17Speaker 2: am going page.
- 37:18Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I'm gonna Nicki Bella Okay, yeah, no particular
- 37:24Speaker 1: reason I hate you?
- 37:26Speaker 2: What? Okay? Because Josh is not here? No?
- 37:28Speaker 3: No?
- 37:28Speaker 2: Well, I mean no, who do you think was better?
- 37:31Speaker 2: Nicki or Bree? I think they were both terrible? Yeah.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I think Niki definitely had the more charisma of the two.
- 37:39Speaker 2: Free mo yeah, Brimo, that hurts my ear they hear that.
- 37:45Speaker 1: I don't know. I would say Niki, but not by
- 37:49Speaker 1: much like I said Nicki was. She definitely had more
- 37:53Speaker 1: charisma than Bri. I think I think Brie could have
- 37:58Speaker 1: been more. But yeah, I'm good, But I'm gonna go
- 38:03Speaker 1: Nikki Bella Okay, Ye?
- 38:06Speaker 2: All right?
- 38:07Speaker 3: Uh.

- 38:12Speaker 1: Josh is going Naomi?
- 38:15Speaker 2: Yeah you wanna go to Naomi? No cardgil Oh Okay,
- 38:21Speaker 2: I don't think I keep saying this. I don't think
- 38:25Speaker 2: it's the right time for Jade to lose. Mm hm.
- 38:29Speaker 2: So I'm going Jade Cargill, going Jade Cargo. I'm gonna
- 38:34Speaker 2: go to Naomi really yeah, Okay, I feel like that.
- 38:37Speaker 1: They have been they have strapped their Rocket Tour, and
- 38:40Speaker 1: I think I don't I don't think that Jade is
- 38:43Speaker 1: going to lose like in bad fashion. I think she's
- 38:49Speaker 1: gonna go down swinging. Yeah, But I do think Naomi
- 38:53Speaker 1: is gonna get one over on her.
- 38:54Speaker 2: Maybe that's the thing. Anything can happen in the World
- 38:59Speaker 2: Wrestling Federation Entertainment.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Oh yes, they've been to w w W now longer
- 39:05Speaker 1: than they worthy WWS. I know.
- 39:07Speaker 2: I brought that fact up on the show quite some
- 39:10Speaker 2: weeks ago.
- 39:10Speaker 1: Yeah, it's still when you say it out and out,
- 39:13Speaker 1: it's still crazy.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Yes, I think about it like, oh my gosh, yeah,
- 39:18Speaker 2: oh my gosh, we're getting old, all right.
- 39:22Speaker 1: Becky lanching a true okay, so triple threat match for
- 39:24Speaker 1: the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship. Becky Lynch will be defending
- 39:28Speaker 1: her title against Bailey and Lyra Valkyria. Josh is going Bailey.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I am going Becky. I believe Lyra will
- 39:40Speaker 2: take the pinfall, which can lead into a story between
- 39:45Speaker 2: Bailey and Becky of Bailey saying like you didn't beat me.
- 39:49Speaker 2: M hm, So yeah, I think you got a good
- 39:53Speaker 2: point there. So I'm going with Becky. Go back, Jeff,
- 39:58Speaker 2: who am I going to go with? You know, if
- 40:00Speaker 2: you go Lyra, then one of us has to get
- 40:02Speaker 2: this match, right.
- 40:03Speaker 1: That's true, That's very true. But I don't see it
- 40:05Speaker 1: being Lyra. I just don't Yeah.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Hmmm, no, Watch win. Yeah, I know Watch pinned both
- 40:13Speaker 2: of them at one time. Uh what Roman rein Style
- 40:17Speaker 2: Restmania thirty six? Stack him? Yeah, stack him up a
- 40:20Speaker 2: triple threat match with Daniel Bryn and Edge. Yep, just
- 40:23Speaker 2: stack him. I mean Brian Danielson and Cope.
- 40:28Speaker 1: Yeah, well I guess yeah, that's what they go by.
- 40:30Speaker 2: Now. I still don't like Cope. No, I still don't
- 40:33Speaker 2: like it. I was, I was okay with Adam Copelan
- 40:36Speaker 2: I understood, but people might not be able to tell
- 40:39Speaker 2: him and Adam Page apart. Why couldn't he have been like,
- 40:43Speaker 2: you have Adam Page, so you just get Adam book.
- 40:51Speaker 2: But yeah, this match, this pick Becky Becky. Yeah, Okay,
- 40:56Speaker 2: I don't see.
- 40:57Speaker 1: Bailey winning it. I just don't Lyra definitely don't see
- 41:01Speaker 1: her winning it. I think you're right. I think Lyra's
- 41:03Speaker 1: going to take the penfall on this one. That way
- 41:05Speaker 1: Bailey doesn't take doesn't look weak. And yeah, that's that's
- 41:11Speaker 1: kind of where I'm at with this.
- 41:12Speaker 2: Okay, So Battle of the.
- 41:14Speaker 1: Bonds pretty much WWE Women's at Championship match. Tiffany Stratton
- 41:19Speaker 1: will be defending her title against Trish Stratus. Josh says Stratton.
- 41:25Speaker 2: Yes, Jason, I believe it is going to be Tiffany Stratton,
- 41:32Speaker 2: gonna be Tiffany Stratton. I am picking Trish because I
- 41:37Speaker 2: think it should be Trish. It should be Yesrish.
- 41:42Speaker 1: Is it because of Tiffany Stratton's like run so far?
- 41:47Speaker 1: It's been It's been very lackluster. To me, it has
- 41:50Speaker 1: been lackluster. I I think her character is one dimensional.
- 41:57Speaker 1: She gets on the mic, it's the same thing. It's
- 42:00Speaker 1: just it's not great. I think she needs more time
- 42:05Speaker 1: to develop. Yeah, And I think Trish winning and then
- 42:12Speaker 1: whoever beats Trish will give them a much larger push.
- 42:17Speaker 1: And I think somebody like Trish Stratus I think you're
- 42:20Speaker 1: on the something because somebody, somebody like Trish Stratus.
- 42:23Speaker 2: It's believable that she.
- 42:24Speaker 1: Could come in and still win the title. Yes, like
- 42:27Speaker 1: she still looks like she's in phenomenal shape. She's definitely
- 42:30Speaker 1: in ring shape, even though she is she's a Hall
- 42:34Speaker 1: of Famer, right, yes, yeah, even though she's a Hall
- 42:37Speaker 1: of Famer and everything, she's not gonna be the only
- 42:39Speaker 1: one competing on this show. I think I think you
- 42:43Speaker 1: are on the something with Trish Stratus.
- 42:46Speaker 2: Uh, but I don't think that WWE is going to
- 42:50Speaker 2: go that route.
- 42:51Speaker 1: Okay, I think they're gonna give let Trish Stratus, give
- 42:56Speaker 1: Tiffany Stratton the rub. I'm going Stratton, Oh okay, even
- 43:01Speaker 1: though I agree that Tiffany Stratton's run has been very lackluster,
- 43:07Speaker 1: like I it's it's been boring.
- 43:09Speaker 2: It's been very boring.
- 43:11Speaker 1: And Tiffany Stratton's character in general, yes, it's kind of
- 43:14Speaker 1: it's kind of been a rehash of a rehash of
- 43:16Speaker 1: a rehash. But in a way, professional wrestling is that
- 43:19Speaker 1: in general. I mean, look at Rick Flair.
- 43:20Speaker 2: I mean, with anything in life anymore, there are no
- 43:23Speaker 2: original ideas. There's really not, But you have to take
- 43:26Speaker 2: this played idea and make it your own. You have
- 43:29Speaker 2: to set yourself apart, and she hasn't for me.
- 43:33Speaker 1: No, no, so still want to go Stratton though.
- 43:38Speaker 2: All right, So this is what we have. I don't
- 43:41Speaker 2: know if this is in the main event. It may
- 43:42Speaker 2: be the main event for the Women's World Championship.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Eo Skuy will be defending her title against.
- 43:48Speaker 2: One Ria Ripley. Josh went with Ria Jason. You see,
- 43:55Speaker 2: it's hard for me to go against Rhea because I
- 43:58Speaker 2: really like Ria Ripley. Yeah, I think she is a
- 44:01Speaker 2: believable champ. Absolutely, I think she is a great worker.
- 44:07Speaker 2: But but there's a butt in there. This is kind
- 44:11Speaker 2: of a David and Goliath story. Yes, it's a David
- 44:18Speaker 2: and Goliath match. You have little little Eo against big Rhea. Yes,
- 44:26Speaker 2: I think EO is going to win because I think
- 44:31Speaker 2: it's going to show that EO deserves the title because
- 44:34Speaker 2: she didn't beat Rhea for it. Didn't Rhea get hurt?
- 44:39Speaker 2: I think so? Yeah, and then Live had the title
- 44:43Speaker 2: and Rhea never never got that title back, and I
- 44:47Speaker 2: don't think it's going to happen now. I think it
- 44:51Speaker 2: will happen maybe SummerSlam, But I think here, it's going
- 44:56Speaker 2: to be EO keeping it. It's going to be EO
- 44:59Speaker 2: keeping it. Okay, Okay, that's your choice, because I also
- 45:01Speaker 2: don't think they're going to change both women's titles on
- 45:06Speaker 2: the same show. That's true. So you so you think
- 45:11Speaker 2: that Trasha is going to win uh Stratton's title. Yes,
- 45:18Speaker 2: he is going to retain Yes, hmm interesting, interesting, I'm
- 45:24Speaker 2: going to rha really yeah, okay, I don't.
- 45:28Speaker 1: I agree with you that they're not going to let
- 45:30Speaker 1: both titles lose both both title changes.
- 45:34Speaker 2: Won the same show.
- 45:36Speaker 1: I mean, in all honestly, part of me thinks that
- 45:38Speaker 1: they're not going to have any title changes or very little.
- 45:41Speaker 2: They may not. Yeah, we may. We may be.
- 45:43Speaker 1: Completely wrong on all of this, but I think that
- 45:49Speaker 1: even though I think Sky is fantastic, I don't think
- 45:54Speaker 1: that WWE has as much belief in her as they should.
- 46:00Speaker 2: I think they have more belief in Rio.
- 46:02Speaker 1: And Ria also pushes a lot of merchandise she does,
- 46:06Speaker 1: so to me, it only makes.
- 46:07Speaker 2: Sense putting the belt on Rio. So that's gonna be
- 46:10Speaker 2: my final choice on that.
- 46:12Speaker 1: Real quick, before we get to the main event, just
- 46:14Speaker 1: go ahead and give you a recap on all of
- 46:17Speaker 1: our predictions, Jay C Jane will be defending her NXT

- 52:17Speaker 2: Jason Likens have a doctorate. I'm not going to be
- 52:20Speaker 2: that kind of guy. And Ultimo Dragon ology. Yes, yes,

- 52:44Speaker 2: Naomi not Old, not Oltimo Dragon. Swerve Strickling not Ultimo Dragon.
- 52:51Speaker 2: Hangman Adam Page, Now this one gets tricky. Not Ultimo Dragon.
- 52:55Speaker 2: Mercedes Monett not Ultimo Dragon, even though she's.
- 52:58Speaker 1: Kind of going in that direction, but she'll never be
- 53:01Speaker 1: nobody will ever be Ultimo Dragon, holding like fifteen belts
- 53:04Speaker 1: at once.
- 53:05Speaker 2: No, that was insane. Let's see. I think I got
- 53:08Speaker 2: I got one more for you. Where is it? It's
- 53:12Speaker 2: over here, Josh Cole not Ultimo Dragon. Okay, Okay, I'm
- 53:17Speaker 2: glad we cleared that up.
- 53:18Speaker 3: Yes.
- 53:19Speaker 2: But speaking of titles.
- 53:20Speaker 1: Yes, speaking of titles, we've had quite a few title
- 53:23Speaker 1: changes this past week and this weekend, mainly on WWE
- 53:28Speaker 1: SmackDown This past Friday, the Wyatt Six, Dexter Loomis and
- 53:32Speaker 1: Joe Gacy defeated The Street Profits Angelo Dawkins and Montese
- 53:36Speaker 1: Ford to win the WWE Tag Team Championship.
- 53:39Speaker 2: For the first time.
- 53:41Speaker 1: This past Tuesday, at the Tokyo Joshi Pro Wrestling event,
- 53:45Speaker 1: there were a few title changes over DDT Pro Wrestling's
- 53:49Speaker 1: iron Man Heavy Metalweight Championship.
- 53:51Speaker 2: Here here we go.
- 53:52Speaker 1: First, Suzumi defeated Yoshihiko Asagawa in a twenty seven on
- 53:58Speaker 1: one handicap match close it was, which was also Hasigawa's
- 54:03Speaker 1: retirement match. Mazuki then pinned Suzumi, followed by a pin
- 54:07Speaker 1: from Mayu Watanabee, and then after the event ended, Watanabe
- 54:12Speaker 1: was struck by a plastic hammer named Piko Pico, which
- 54:16Speaker 1: fell on her, thus pinning her to win the title.
- 54:19Speaker 1: And finally, son Shiro Takage pinned Piko Pico after kicking
- 54:24Speaker 1: the hammer out of the referee's hand to be the
- 54:29Speaker 1: Ironman Heavy Metal Weight Champion. A few title changes at
- 54:33Speaker 1: aw all in due to the unfortunate news that Adam
- 54:37Speaker 1: Cole was injured and would be out indefinitely.
- 54:39Speaker 2: We talked about that earlier this.
- 54:40Speaker 1: Episode, the TNT Championship match became a four way for
- 54:44Speaker 1: the vacant title, where Dustin Rhodes defeated Daniel Garcia Semigavar
- 54:49Speaker 1: and Kl Fletcher to win his first singles title since
- 54:52Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, when he last won the WWF Intercontinental Championship.
- 54:59Speaker 1: This also makes Dustin a triple crown a triple champion,
- 55:03Speaker 1: as he also holds Roh's World Tag Team Championship and
- 55:07Speaker 1: World six Man Tag Team Championship. Also, Continental champion Kazusko
- 55:12Speaker 1: Okada defeated International champion Kenny Omega and a winner takes
- 55:16Speaker 1: All match to win the International Championship and become the
- 55:20Speaker 1: inaugural Unified Champion. So Okada is now a triple champion
- 55:24Speaker 1: in AEW as neither the Continental or International titles were
- 55:27Speaker 1: retired and the Unified Championship is recognized as its own title. Also,
- 55:32Speaker 1: since Okada won as the Continental Champion, the Unified Championship
- 55:37Speaker 1: will be contested under Continental rules in which no one
- 55:40Speaker 1: is allowed at ringside and outside interference is strictly prohibited.
- 55:45Speaker 1: And finally, Hangman Adam Page, the main character for AW,
- 55:50Speaker 1: defeated John Moxley in a brutal absolutely Brutal Texas Deathmatch
- 55:57Speaker 1: to win the AEW World Championship for a second time,
- 56:01Speaker 1: freeing the belt from the briefcase it's.
- 56:03Speaker 2: Been in for the last nine months. So the belt
- 56:08Speaker 2: has been in the briefcase for nine months. Yes, so
- 56:12Speaker 2: the briefcase gave birth to a baby belt. Yes, Mozzle
- 56:18Speaker 2: mazzle tov. That's gonna do it for us, ladies and gentlemen.
