• 3:42
  welcome back. But hey, thanks a lot for having me on. Guys.
• 3:46
  I can't wait to uh break down this money in the bank and make
• 3:50
  some predictions that may or may not be right. Yeah yeah, uh you
• 3:57
  know, real quick. Uh, let me let me say, Trey,
• 4:01
  what was your favorite cashing of all time? Like, if you have to
• 4:05
  pick like your top cash in m oh, let's see. Yeah, it's
• 4:15
  hard not to go with probably seth Rollins cash in the Heist of the Century
• 4:21
  that was. That one was special. But I'm gonna side with a little
• 4:28
  bit of recency bias because it's one that made me really mark out when it
• 4:30
  actually happened. I'm going with Live Morgan last year. I still gotta give
• 4:34
  props to her for that freaking four two forty she ran down to the ring
• 4:40
  to cash that thing in and the audience going completely nuts over it in that
• 4:45
  moment for her. Yeah, I'm gonna show some love to Live Morgan on
• 4:48
  this one. Yeah, that's a good one. Uh, Doyle favorite one
• 4:54
  favorite cashing well, I think it was, um, I want to say
• 5:00
  twenty sixteen, the night where all three members of the Shield held the title
• 5:03
  at one point. Uh, I think. I think Roman walked in with
• 5:06
  it, Seth beat him for and then Ambrose cashed in on him, and
• 5:11
  then that was a pretty fun, fun night to have all three of them
• 5:14
  guys have the same title on the same night. That was cool. Yeah,
• 5:17
  that was a very rare, very well put together storyline for that night
• 5:23
  that all Shield members got to hold the same title on the same night.
• 5:28
  U Carlos, what's your favorite memorable cash in? Think that was gonna be
• 5:34
  the one, I said, But I thought I remember that with Seth cashing
• 5:39
  in at the at the end of Mania, wasn't it. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:45
  thirty one on brock Lessner or something like that. Yeah, Brock and
• 5:48
  Roman rains, uh, you know, pinning reins for it. Okay,
• 5:51
  that's how that went. Yeah. Yeah, going back thinking about that,
• 5:57
  I remember like definitely going I don't want either of these guys to win.
• 6:02
  Like I was just spent like that feud. I guess, you know,
• 6:08
  I was just over it and I was just I don't really don't give a
• 6:10
  fuck who wins, and it was like coming out and that's pretty much how
• 6:15
  everybody felt, I guess at the time, because when Seth came out,
• 6:19
  the crowd went nuts, you know. I mean most cashtions are really good
• 6:25
  like that. I like the out of nowhere cash ins when we least suspect
• 6:30
  it, the ones where they kind of announced that they're having a match,
• 6:34
  maybe like Rob van Dam when he announced that he was having a match,
• 6:39
  you know, or there was one Austin theory. I think he did the
• 6:45
  same last year he announced that he was having a match with Seth Rollins.
• 6:48
  I think it was Seth Rollins and couldn't pull it off. It's just I
• 6:54
  don't know, it's just not as exciting as maybe like Live Morgan coming in
• 6:59
  and you know, taking out Rhonda Rousy. I mean, come on that.
• 7:04
  I did not see that one coming that. That definitely caught me off
• 7:08
  guard. Yeah, yeah, there there's a fine art to a pre planned
• 7:13
  cash in. It's something that's got me built up right, and most of
• 7:15
  the time they don't really execute it that well. M Yeah, and it's
• 7:21
  nice now that we have two of them, two briefcases, one for the
• 7:25
  men's one for the women's. So if they want to burn one off pretty
• 7:30
  early in the season, whether it's you know, that night or you know,
• 7:33
  within a month or two, they can and we still have one,
• 7:38
  you know that you can just hold on to, like Carmela held onto it
• 7:41
  for like two hundred and eighty seven days. You know, somebody I didn't
• 7:46
  expect to hold onto the briefcase for so long. But you know, walking
• 7:49
  around with that briefcase kind of enhances your your character a bit. We have
• 7:56
  also seen, like in the past, where they attempt to make cash in
• 8:00
  and they don't succeed, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh
• 8:07
  my neighbor with his motorcycle during my podcast Wonderful Lovely Well, uh, while
• 8:16
  that's going in the background, Doyle, while I meet myself, Uh say,
• 8:26
  um, you know, some people thrive with the briefcase and some people
• 8:33
  kind of get crushed under the weight of it. Um. You know,
• 8:35
  I think of like um, well, I mean, like you know,
• 8:41
  like a Dolph, even though he's sexy, he cashed in successfully, he
• 8:46
  wasn't able to really do anything with it, elevate himself at all. Uh,
• 8:52
  and he's still kind of a job under the stars. For lack of
• 8:56
  a better term. Uh, you know, then some people use it as
• 9:01
  a stepping off point, and you know, they never look back, and
• 9:07
  it's kind of akin and maybe we can talk about which we think is more
• 9:13
  impressive. But you know, when when people's careers were always over, they
• 9:16
  say, oh, Intercontinental champion three times and tag champion. But but but
• 9:20
  and they say how many times they won the Rumble or how many times they
• 9:22
  were King in the ring, or how many times they won the briefcase,
• 9:26
  And it's kind of like on par um something like that, and accolade of
• 9:31
  that King of the Ring, Queen of the Ring um kind of on par
• 9:35
  with that. So so when in the when in the briefcase is a big
• 9:39
  deal. It means it means they really see something in you, whether or
• 9:43
  not you can do anything with it. History has gone both ways on that.
• 9:50
  Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I I the counter what you just
• 9:56
  said. I don't love them doing the men and the women on the same
• 9:58
  same night. I've said this with the Rumble before too, you know,
• 10:01
  like, I don't know why they can't stagger him. Do one? You
• 10:03
  know, do one in six months? Do one? Now? I like,
• 10:09
  you know, yeah, sure you kind of have a quick cash in
• 10:11
  and a long drawn out one. But no matter how good, this one
• 10:15
  of the matches is going to be not as good as the other one no
• 10:18
  matter what. And it's kind of unfair like it. It could still be
• 10:22
  a four and a half star match, you know, the other one's a
• 10:26
  five star. The other one suffers, and I kind of feel like that's
• 10:31
  unfair. You know, who knows who it's gonna be. It could be
• 10:33
  the men, could be the women. We don't know. It just kind
• 10:37
  of feels unfair. Now, let me ask you guys this, Uh did
• 10:41
  you prefer to have the money in the Bank match at WrestleMania like it used
• 10:46
  to be, or do you guys prefer it as its own standalone pay per
• 10:50
  view? Because I personally I liked it at WrestleMania. I thought it was
• 10:56
  just one another way to get a bunch of wrestlers on the card. You
• 11:01
  know that may not be showcased. You know, some now are just shoved
• 11:05
  in the Andre the Giant Battle Royal. But I always thought that that match
• 11:09
  was kind of unique at WrestleMania. And you also had like one full year
• 11:15
  until the next Wrestlemanian to cash it in well, and you have the problem
• 11:20
  with the two matches happening on the same night. You know you can with
• 11:24
  a two night WrestleMania. You can have one each night and it's kind of
• 11:26
  less less um obtrusive. You know. Yeah, I think that would have
• 11:31
  been a great idea. Carlos, What do you think, do you miss
• 11:35
  it on WrestleMania nights or do you kind of enjoy it being its own standalone
• 11:39
  pay per view? Now? I think it it kind of go who comes
• 11:46
  in and goes like, yeah, it's good for having in at WrestleMania,
• 11:50
  But then I think at times you would be like, well, it gives
• 11:54
  them like an out, like if they don't like how the mania then or
• 12:00
  how the crowd reacted, and then they could just do something like that Dead
• 12:03
  with Rollins or Ambrose and things like that cashing in. So that's one of
• 12:07
  the ways that I kind of pro it. But then I really don't want
• 12:11
  to give them like have Vince or Hunter have a out like, well,
• 12:18
  this didn't turn out how we liked or we didn't get the reaction that we
• 12:20
  like, just go have them cash, because then I think at that point
• 12:24
  you realize that you know, you put in all this work into the story
• 12:28
  and building up this story like and then like it just you know, goes
• 12:35
  by the wayside. You committed all this time and resource, Like if that
• 12:37
  would have happened, like say, they would have had the money in the
• 12:41
  bank and they had Roman b Cody this year, and then like people didn't
• 12:46
  react or didn't like it, they would have had random person go out there
• 12:52
  and win, and then it just like every ruin's all that story telling that
• 12:56
  they've been building up the whole time, hyping Cody or you know, hyping
• 13:00
  up the blood lighting at that point. So that's one of the reasons why
• 13:03
  I wouldn't like it or anything like that. I think it'd be better like
• 13:05
  if it didn't if they decided not to have it like a WrestleMania or not
• 13:11
  have it be its own pay per view that they just throw it into like
• 13:15
  an Armageddon or no Way Out or you know, like a SummerSlam or Summer
• 13:20
  or random like that. Jed, how do you feel about that? Yeah,
• 13:28
  I'm kind of in between. Like I understand why some people are prefer
• 13:33
  it being a part of WrestleMania and being part of the spectacle of it all,
• 13:39
  but I kind of think that it's a bit too much for WrestleMania.
• 13:43
  Like WrestleMania exists enough on its own, and if you have this money in
• 13:48
  the bank ladder match, that is its own unique spectacle. It kind of
• 13:52
  deserves its own spotlight. Now that being said, I don't know if it
• 13:58
  rises to the level that it warrants it its own pay per view because it
• 14:01
  is just two matches on an entire card. So I don't know that it
• 14:05
  warrants having its own name to pay per view when there's clearly other stuff going
• 14:09
  on. So I think a happy medium would maybe be if it's either like
• 14:18
  randomly spread out throughout the year, maybe at you know, at a different
• 14:20
  pay per view, it can be we can say we're having the money in
• 14:24
  the bank ladder match here, or if they use it on an episode of
• 14:28
  Raw or SmackDown and say, you know, you know, at this this
• 14:31
  Raw will be the money in the bank ladder match, and that can be,
• 14:35
  you know, something that can be used to boost up that episode of
• 14:39
  Raw or that episode of SmackDown. Of course, then at the same time,
• 14:43
  giving the issue given to what um WW has to deal with with,
• 14:48
  you know, competing networks between USA and Fox and their wants and desires that
• 14:52
  could end up creating its own problems, you know, you know, giving
• 14:56
  the one the money in the bank ladder match on Raw, then here comes
• 15:00
  Fox complaining, like, yo, where the hell is our money in the
• 15:01
  bank ladder match? What the hell do we have for that? You know?
• 15:05
  You So I get that it's a balancing act and maybe making it its
• 15:09
  own pay per view is probably the best um outcome that they have for right
• 15:15
  now. So I'm cool with it where it's at all, right, Uh.
• 15:28
  Another thing that about the briefcases, it does, like Doyle was saying,
• 15:33
  how it's right up there with you know, Royal Rumble, King of
• 15:39
  the Ring. You know, it's part of your accolades. It's it's part
• 15:41
  of it goes on your Wikipedia, you know, but it does. We've
• 15:46
  seen these briefcases make stars and we've also seen it go absolutely nowhere. Uh
• 15:54
  from you know, Edge being the very first money in the bank winner,
• 15:58
  you know, cashing it on. John seen that kind of catapulted his heavyweight
• 16:03
  title run like you know, in the future. That was like the first
• 16:07
  of many for him. But then you got do you guys remember one year
• 16:11
  that otis won the money in the Bank briefcase. You know, remember James
• 16:18
  Ellsworth won the money in the Bank briefcase, the women money in the rank
• 16:22
  bfcase. Yes, uh, you know Baron Corbin also won it. Um.
• 16:29
  Yeah, yeah, mister Kennedy. We've seen a lot of them win
• 16:33
  it and kind of go nowhere, and then we also, yeah, then
• 16:37
  we've seen a couple win it and kind of catapult their career. So,
• 16:44
  uh, it's weird is this year they're kind of talking about how, uh
• 16:48
  you can cash in on any title. It doesn't and I felt like that
• 16:52
  was kind of, I don't know, obvious, but now they're giving you
• 16:57
  the option that kind of cash in on any title. Just I guess last
• 17:02
  year was kind of the first for the men's as the president. Yeah,
• 17:07
  but that's a popular decision, right, Like, I don't mean anybody was
• 17:11
  really thrilled. I think it made sense, but I think like, as
• 17:17
  a whole, I think the fan base was not thrilled. Yeah, the
• 17:22
  theory not cashing it in for a world title. Yeah, and then I
• 17:26
  believe one year didn't Charlotte cashing in on the NXT champion. Oh, yes,
• 17:37
  there you go. I think he hash even won the money in the
• 17:40
  brank briefcase. I remember that year that was then two twenty one. Yeah,
• 17:45
  that's the one problem that kind of lies with the money in the bank
• 17:48
  briefcases. Sure, it is an opportunity to cash in for something, but
• 17:52
  realistically speaking, circumstances play a lot into it. And that's kind of what
• 17:57
  hurt you know, Austin theories cashing last year. It's like, yeah,
• 18:00
  he's got the briefcase, but everybody a mama knew he was not beating Roman
• 18:06
  Reins. Yeah yeah, right, so he has this opportunity that we know
• 18:11
  he can't capitalize on. So it was like what you you know, you
• 18:17
  you wrote yourself into a into a corner with that, So there was really
• 18:22
  no out for them. So at least now with their being a world heavyweight
• 18:27
  championship, you know, there is a viable option for whoever wins the men's
• 18:33
  money in the bank briefcase for them to have a legitimate cashing. Because I
• 18:37
  think even to this point right now, we still both all think that ain't
• 18:41
  nobody cashing that shit in on Roman. Nobody's got the balls, sure,
• 18:47
  but I mean, what to say that the winner just doesn't wait him out
• 18:51
  and somebody beat somebody else beats Roman and then they're cashing on that person.
• 18:55
  Well, yeah, if you go off the assumption that you know Roman is
• 18:59
  Roman loses the title within the next year, then yeah, of course that's
• 19:02
  always an option as well. Who knows that that happened or not exactly?
• 19:08
  Yeah, I got a trivia question for you guys. If you want it
• 19:11
  a trivia question, Well, golly, let me fire up the Jeopardy music
• 19:17
  here, go for it. Ah. Well, they were stealing my gimmick
• 19:23
  and giving you all the stats and whatnot about the money in the bag match.
• 19:26
  They mentioned that is one of three men to ever successfully cash in the
• 19:33
  briefcase twice. Another didn't tell us the third twice successfully. Ooh, I
• 19:45
  know that one. That's Sam Punk. That is correct. Oh yeah,
• 19:51
  c M Punk. Yeah, it's weird that they didn't mention Sam Punk,
• 19:56
  right, No, I wonder why. Yeah, I'm trying to remember who
• 20:04
  he cashed it in on, um Sampunk. Sampunk don't because there were Yeah,
• 20:14
  there are too many questions. I'm trying to look back. Here was
• 20:18
  one John Cena. One of them may have been John's uh oh uh Edged
• 20:27
  defeated uh Edge defeated Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight title immediately after Hardy had
• 20:36
  won the title. Okay, and Punk Cash this briefcase in on June thirtieth,
• 20:47
  two thousand and eight, episode of Raw Defeating Edge after an assault by
• 20:49
  Batista during Edges promote when the world heavyweight title. Oh yeah, I remember
• 20:55
  that Batista came out. You know, Batista bombed his ass, beat his
• 21:00
  ass, and then see him Punk's music hit. Yeah, that was pretty
• 21:03
  good, all right, better than the year before that. That's what mister
• 21:10
  Kennedy wanted. And then lost his briefcase. We've seen that happen too,
• 21:15
  Yeah, because he supposedly had a horrible injury and then he lost the briefcase
• 21:18
  and he gets the injury checked out and they're like, this isn't really that
• 21:22
  bad. You'd be back in like two weeks, but by then he'd already
• 21:25
  lost the thing. That guy got screwed out of the being Vince's son too.
• 21:30
  Yeah, well he kind of screwed himself too, but he got he
• 21:33
  got caught up in the whole juice and scandal that he was certainly a dickhead.
• 21:41
  I don't forget. We also saw Otis lose his in court. Oh
• 21:45
  yeah, my neighbor storing. Yeah right, big briefcase in the court battle.
• 21:56
  We've seen like the briefcase like break. We saw John Cena had the
• 22:00
  brieface and it like broke off the hangar as he slammed it against Big Show's
• 22:07
  face. We've seen aj Styles almost catch it and then drop it into Otis's
• 22:11
  hands. All types of weird shit. Um. The one that Tightened Tower
• 22:17
  was great. I actually know what. I did. Enjoy that one.
• 22:22
  So worried about how they were going to do it, and I remember reading
• 22:26
  online that they're gonna do it in Tighten Tower, and I was like,
• 22:30
  what, like how how are they going to make this interesting at all?
• 22:34
  And you know, if you go back and watch it, they kind of
• 22:37
  made it interesting. It also looked like nothing is a ray mysterio was thrown
• 22:44
  off the building. That's what it looked like. Uh yeah. Cinematic matches
• 22:49
  were like a product of the time, product of the necessity. I should
• 22:52
  say I wouldn't mind sing not very often, not very often, but every
• 22:59
  now and then something like that was so much fun. I wouldn't mind seeing.
• 23:03
  I mean, not that exact scenario again. Obviously, but something like
• 23:07
  that, you know, kind of expand the possibilities of what a match is
• 23:11
  and can be. I think it's great. All right, let's kick this
• 23:18
  off here and let's get into some predictions this year. It's gonna be held
• 23:22
  July first, twenty twenty three in London, England at the O two Arena.
• 23:29
  Uh. What what did they always use? They use like the telephone
• 23:33
  booths. And they have like a car, right, like a like a
• 23:34
  British car always That's what they kind of always have in the state. Next,
• 23:40
  Yes, the double decker bus. Let's see if they bring those back
• 23:44
  this year. Seems like they do it every time they go to London.
• 23:49
  This is gonna be the fourteenth money in the bank, fourteenth annual money in
• 23:55
  the bank for pay per view. Wow, fourteenth whole crap? Uh they
• 24:02
  have here? We have seven matches. Um they have the first one listed
• 24:07
  here. I don't really think this is one that's gonna kick off the show.
• 24:11
  Uh, it's gonna be Ricochet, Shinski, Nakamura, La Knight,
• 24:18
  Santos Escobar, Butch, Damian Priest and Logan Paul the Men's briefcase. Oy.
• 24:27
  Yeah, what I do like about this? This lineup here is none
• 24:32
  of these guys are former world champions, which I like to see sometimes I
• 24:37
  don't like when we have a match full of former world champions. I like
• 24:40
  to think as the Rumble and and the briefcase match as like a stepping stone
• 24:48
  for a new guy. This is a chance for like a new guy to
• 24:52
  really kick off his career. Uh you know, love laying up, as
• 25:00
  Will would say, is a chance to level up here. And this is
• 25:03
  a pretty good lineup. Uh you know, when it comes to predictions here,
• 25:11
  this one's gonna be kind of tough because I know who I want to
• 25:15
  win, but I kind of know I kind of know who Vince is gonna
• 25:19
  pick. But per interesting storyline, I know who else should win, So
• 25:26
  I think interesting storyline. Uh you know, later in the night, we
• 25:33
  do have Finn Balor versus Damien priest Or versus Seth Rollins. Let's let's just
• 25:38
  say, hypothetically speaking, Finnbalor somehow wins, right be Seth Rollins. What
• 25:44
  if Damian Priest wins the briefcase and decides to cash it in on Finn Balor
• 25:49
  the same night too much Judgment day storyline? That's possible, but it's an
• 25:56
  idea, it's it's it's somewhere they could go with that storyline. But seeing
• 26:00
  Damian Priest's world champion, and I don't see that happening, not anytime soon.
• 26:07
  I mean, they do have a lot of faith in this guy,
• 26:11
  but I just don't see him holding in a world title this soon in his
• 26:15
  career. It would be interesting to see him take it off of Finnbalor,
• 26:18
  and then yet again, Finnebaler only holds on to a heavyweight title for a
• 26:22
  short amount of time. I really think they're gonna go with Logan Paul Unfortunately,
• 26:33
  it makes sense this guy could hold onto the briefcase for a long time.
• 26:37
  He could showcase it wherever he goes on his podcast on you know,
• 26:44
  wherever he's promoting his prime drink, you know, just wherever. He could
• 26:48
  take that briefcase with him. And the guy doesn't have to always be there,
• 26:53
  so when he does show up, it could be a real shocker.
• 26:57
  But who I want to win it is el A Night. And I know
• 27:06
  I got some haters out there who don't believe that La Knight is ready for
• 27:08
  the briefcase, but I think he is. I think he'd be the perfect
• 27:12
  candidate for it. Uh you know what, I know it's gonna have some
• 27:18
  some bump back against me for this. Let's let's hear Drey's opinion. Who
• 27:26
  do you think it's gonna win this match? He's a mute ye Dre.
• 27:37
  Who do you think could come out of this match to the winner? So,
• 27:41
  as I was briefly saying before I realized I was on mute um,
• 27:45
  I don't know why you think I would have bumped back against you because my
• 27:48
  money is actually on La Night. Oh yeah, he actually he is.
• 27:53
  I think he is from from a wrestling standpoint, from from WWE television product
• 28:03
  standpoint, I think he's the best person to have it. I think he's
• 28:07
  of all these competitors, he's the most primed to take it to the next
• 28:11
  level and if you want the money in the bank briefcase, to have some
• 28:15
  significance and still be and be that that stepping stone that it was known as
• 28:22
  at one point, I think he's the best person to do it. He
• 28:25
  can among all these competitors, he's probably easily the best one on the mic.
• 28:30
  He can take it out there and have something that can you know,
• 28:33
  that can carry his character forward for the next year and from change. In
• 28:40
  addition to you know what else we other things we may expect from him as
• 28:44
  far as matches and such, and he can make for a really good foil
• 28:49
  to a Seth Rollins, even though even though Elia Knight is on SmackDown.
• 28:56
  It would be I think as his popularity grows and if WW wants to take
• 29:00
  advantage of it, they can use that money in the bank briefcase as an
• 29:04
  excuse to have him pop up on raw and be that that nemesis to Seth
• 29:10
  Robinson, just that guy always poking at him, letting him note like,
• 29:12
  you know right here, as soon as you slip up, I'm coming,
• 29:17
  And that could really work well. That being said, the worst case scenario,
• 29:25
  in my opinion, would be if they put that motherfucker on Logan Paul,
• 29:29
  because to me, that would just say pure business. That would say
• 29:34
  pure endeavor owns us. Now Endeavor's you know, giving us the business side
• 29:42
  of it and get and putting that business influence on it. Because yes,
• 29:48
  he is by far the most famous person in the match, and for all
• 29:52
  the reasons that you just said, he can take that money in the brief
• 29:55
  brief that money in the bank briefcase outside of WWE and use it to shine
• 30:00
  a light by proxy on WWE as he's doing all his regular everyday stuff with
• 30:08
  that briefcase. Sure, so from a business standpoint, it would make sense
• 30:12
  to put it on Logan Paul. From a wrestling standpoint, I think it's
• 30:17
  the worst decision you could possibly make. Any would if they did that.
• 30:19
  That would just tell me you don't give two shits about this briefcase at all,
• 30:23
  because he ain't gonna cash it in successfully. He'll just randomly pop up
• 30:27
  the next time y'all decide y'all want to use them for something. Oh I'm
• 30:32
  bad, guess what I got that briefcase thing? And yeah, yeah,
• 30:33
  blah blah blah whatever. Right, And it wouldn't make sense with Seth being
• 30:40
  champion in their recent history too. Sure, sure, but again, nobody
• 30:47
  thinks Seth. Nobody thinks Logan Paul is going to become champion. At least
• 30:51
  he damned will better not be. But I will say to your point about
• 30:56
  the Damian Priest Finn ballance in there, that is some really inspired booking and
• 31:02
  it would definitely throw catch everybody off guard if they pulled that. But I
• 31:08
  don't think that's good. I just don't think that's gonna happen. I think
• 31:11
  that's a little too inspired. Maybe if maybe, if Vince was sitting his
• 31:15
  ass at home and not fucking with shit, maybe we could get some something
• 31:19
  that inspired from Triple aition whoever's co writing with him. But nah, now,
• 31:25
  not with Vince poking his nose all and everything. So yeah, so
• 31:30
  for what it's worth, my money is on La Night, Yeah Doyle.
• 31:36
  Yeah, Like, like you said, an interesting group with zero former world
• 31:41
  champions. I absolutely love that. Uh, you know, every now and
• 31:45
  then you gotta put the brief You gotta give the briefcase to a John Cena
• 31:48
  or somebody like that. But every now and then you gotta build somebody up.
• 31:53
  So I kind of broke this down into tears. Right. The first
• 31:57
  tier is the no chance in hell tier, and that includes Butch, Ricochet
• 32:02
  and Santos Escobar. Sorry, guys, you're just here to do crazy shit,
• 32:07
  and Butch, you're here to get get that hometown pop. I think
• 32:13
  Ricochet is probably gonna do something crazy with Logan Paul, maybe like a call
• 32:19
  back to that crazy spot they didn't in the rumble Um. But I don't
• 32:23
  think any of those three guys have any chance in hell. Sorry. The
• 32:29
  second tier is the shins Game Nakamoor tier. Uh sorry sorry, Shinskay.
• 32:34
  You don't have no chance in hell, but you don't have a great chance
• 32:37
  either. I love Shinskay, but the only case I can make for him
• 32:43
  winning is that I like him, and that's just not enough. Uh So,
• 32:46
  we got three contenders the way I see it, it just kind of
• 32:50
  seems like that's how everybody sees it. We got Damian Priest. I think
• 32:55
  the gimmick of the briefcase works best for heel, so that certainly a point
• 33:00
  in his favor. As um As Wayne said, I think there could be
• 33:05
  a great dynamic if Finn were to win that championship and then Damian. Uh
• 33:10
  yeah, then Damien h almost that Dominic has the briefcase. I think that
• 33:15
  would be just phenomenal chaos in Suing. I think that would be great,
• 33:20
  and I think the company's really high on him coming off the match with Bad
• 33:23
  Bunny. What was that backlash? Yeah? So yeah, I think he's
• 33:28
  certainly a viable candidate. U l A. Knight or having to call him
• 33:32
  stone cold Rock Johnson, Uh, he is over as fuck. There's no
• 33:39
  doubt about that. I find it really amusing that, Like there's an age
• 33:45
  question with this guy, which doesn't make any sense. He's the same age
• 33:49
  as Damian Priest, he's one year older than Santos Escobar, and he's three
• 33:52
  years younger than She's gay. Like, what the fuck is the problem you
• 33:55
  think this guy was, you know, bringing a walker down to ring with
• 34:00
  him. I don't I don't get it. Do people not know how old
• 34:04
  Batista was during his run? Yeah? I guess the fucker was in his
• 34:07
  forties. Yeah. Yeah, Like professional wrestlers almost don't even come into their
• 34:13
  prime until their mid thirties, you know, like because that by you know,
• 34:17
  it takes sometime. It takes that long to figure it out, you
• 34:20
  know, figure out how to read the crowd and whatever. I'm digressing.
• 34:24
  Um, but La Knight is interesting. He's one of the few guys that
• 34:29
  uh doesn't get the reaction he's supposed to. Uh, you know, uh.
• 34:35
  The WW universe famous for you know, getting behind a heel and and
• 34:40
  and cheering a heel or booing a face. Um, but in this day
• 34:45
  and age, most of the heels are getting booed and most of the faces
• 34:47
  are getting cheered. La Knight is one of the only uh only uh examples,
• 34:54
  but that doesn't happen. He's he's a heel. I mean he pushed
• 34:58
  Ray Masterio Junior. He's a he but he's getting booed. I think they're
• 35:02
  gonna have to turn and face officially at some point. But like I said
• 35:07
  with Damian, I think it works better with a heel, which is why
• 35:13
  I am also picking Logan Paul. I've said it before, I'll say it
• 35:17
  again. I'm sure I don't like him. I'm supposed to though he's a
• 35:22
  he's a heel, goddamnit, but I love his wrestling character. He's like
• 35:28
  like a twenty first century update on like a million Dollar Man mixed with Hollywood
• 35:32
  Helk Hogan at the same time. You know, and there's only so many
• 35:37
  stories you can tell around the guy holding the briefcase, but one that hasn't
• 35:42
  been done is putting it on a part timer. And he's kind of the
• 35:45
  perfect guy at the perfect time. You know, he might not be on
• 35:49
  Raw every week with the briefcase, but he's gonna be elsewhere with it every
• 35:52
  week, getting probably even more eyeballs. He'll be all over social media doing
• 35:58
  his red carpet thing. I don't know if is he a DJ. I
• 36:00
  don't know he's going to be sitting up there with his briefcase wherever the hell
• 36:04
  it is that he does. I don't know. Um And I yeah,
• 36:07
  I like it's definitely I think of instant I think the temptation to put the
• 36:12
  briefcase on a social media influencer, which is kind of a thing that didn't
• 36:17
  exist, you know, more than a couple of years ago. Um.
• 36:21
  I think it's too too much temptation, too many mainstream eyeballs that they can't
• 36:27
  say no to. Um So, I I think as much as I think
• 36:34
  Damian Priest and La Night work just fine, I won't wouldn't be shocked if
• 36:37
  it's hotter with them, But I think it's gonna be uh Logan Paul um.
• 36:44
  But the question I think is who's he gonna cash in on? Like
• 36:47
  there is that story with seth um So, then I think that probably means
• 36:53
  he has a has a quick run with the tip with the title, with
• 36:57
  the with the briefcase. But if if Logan Paul were to win it,
• 37:00
  I'd like to see him hold it for a long time, you know,
• 37:04
  and you know Ros in Miami one night. He and he's putting up on
• 37:08
  the social media. Oh you know what, I'm going to this uh whatever
• 37:12
  premiere and I just happened to me in Miami to night, so you never
• 37:15
  know, maybe you'll see me. But I think uh, and we talked
• 37:19
  about cashing in on a mid card title. I think Gunther might might get
• 37:25
  cashed in on UM as we said this precedent after Theory did it. And
• 37:32
  I think it's the only way to get the Belt out. I think they've
• 37:36
  painted themselves in a corner with Gunther. That's the only way to get Belt
• 37:38
  off of him without, you know, and still making him look strong.
• 37:43
  You know, if he has a knockdown, drag out match with somebody you
• 37:46
  know barely wins and then boom the music comes, gets clocked in the head
• 37:50
  of the briefcase and you got a new IC champ. Now, I picked
• 37:54
  Logan Paul based on the seven people we know are in this match, but
• 38:00
  as well, recall last year and Wayne correctly predicted they added somebody last minute,
• 38:06
  and I think we might see the return of Drew here. That wouldn't
• 38:09
  shock me if he comes back. I think all bets are off. It's
• 38:14
  probably Drew the wins it. There's a lot of Randy Orton rumors going around.
• 38:19
  I could I wouldn't be shocked to see him or Bray. We haven't
• 38:22
  seen what the hell. I don't know who the hell knows what they're ever
• 38:24
  going to do with him, but if they do something, I wouldn't be
• 38:28
  shocked to see him interfere or be an eighth rather. Um. So,
• 38:32
  there's a lot of a lot of moving parts here, a lot of a
• 38:36
  lot of mysteries around in this one, and it really could go either way.
• 38:39
  Yeah, everybody had to do qualifying matches except for Logan Paul. You
• 38:45
  know, everybody had to do those qualifying matches, which they dragged out for
• 38:50
  a while, but not Logan Paul. It just shows up puts himself in
• 38:54
  the fucking match. So yeah, it's very possible. I didn't even think
• 38:58
  about that, you know, Drew coming back and put himself in there.
• 39:04
  Honestly, I would be surprised if they added another quote unqualified person to the
• 39:09
  match after having done it with Logan Paul, Right, I'd be surprised if
• 39:15
  they did that night. But again, it is it is London, so
• 39:17
  It is not out. It's not out of the question, especially with somebody
• 39:21
  like Drew Drew McIntyre just sitting in the wings, you know. Granted we
• 39:25
  don't know what his contract situation is with WW as far as those negotiations,
• 39:30
  but yeah, it's very much still a possibility. All right, Carlos,
• 39:36
  tell tell us why you think Butch is gonna win this. Let me tell
• 39:42
  you, I think that Butch has a real good shot in taking this down.
• 39:51
  Let me tell you something. I'm listening. No, I have no
• 39:58
  for it. I mean I could come up and spend it somehow. Okay,
• 40:04
  let's go if we want to digress, let's go with this one.
• 40:07
  So Butch has been in development told for how many years, like seven,
• 40:17
  eight, maybe ten years, going back a while, and he did hold
• 40:24
  the u n xt UK title for a very long time until it actually got
• 40:30
  taken off of him a few years back or last year, wasn't it when
• 40:35
  they finally got rid of nxt UK and then one of those guys took it
• 40:42
  from him. Anyway, so he does have he does have confidence from Hunter
• 40:47
  to be able to go and make a run at a championship, not in
• 40:53
  particularly the big belts, like the one that Roman or Seth has, So
• 40:59
  it could be back in getting the NXT title. And if he does go
• 41:02
  back, maybe he can no longer be known as Butch and go back to
• 41:07
  his beginning name, which I haven't even forgotten what that was done. Yeah,
• 41:14
  everybody hate the name Butch. No, I don't hate it. But
• 41:17
  there was always that rumor that, you know, like he's gonna go back,
• 41:22
  They're gonna break up the brawling brutes. This was something that was I
• 41:25
  think either a rumor before Mania or after Mania. They came out when they
• 41:31
  were going to start rewriting everything, you know. Yeah, yeah, personally
• 41:35
  I like that. I love them. Yeah, how good it's worked now?
• 41:38
  First and now we've forgotten what his name well I have, I don't
• 41:44
  know, I am old so but the fact that he's just that guy who's
• 41:49
  just about straight action and just wants all the smoke all the time, Like
• 41:52
  that past Monday when they had all the guys in the ring and then his
• 41:58
  music hit and he walked. He ain't say shit, just immediately gotten to
• 42:00
  bring it, got to swinging all folks anyway, didn't even have a microphone.
• 42:06
  I love it, the fighting. I love his like joint manipulation gammick
• 42:13
  he does, or he's just like breaking people's fingers or whatever. Yeah,
• 42:17
  like you know, look at you all, you alert, you all changing
• 42:22
  your picks to to butch now no, but if he wins, I will
• 42:25
  mark the fuck out. It would be nowhere though. Yeah, yeah,
• 42:30
  it started to swing you guys, huh, but uh he's the sentimental favorite.
• 42:36
  Yeah, I mean he could get the big overs on that crowd.
• 42:39
  And like I said, if they do go that route, it could probably
• 42:43
  be for the Icy or the United States Championship. I mean, we still
• 42:47
  don't know who's gonna be able to take that off of Austin theory, Like
• 42:52
  you know, it could be one of those things. And if they decided
• 42:55
  to do break up the brawling roots, that's one way they can go.
• 43:00
  But my real pick here is um going to be It's going to be shints
• 43:08
  Kate. Now I'm listening, you know, shints Kate came back. He
• 43:15
  gave a nice couple of retirement matches to Muda, and he is saying that
• 43:21
  he's get what Ruda call him the F word, So you know, it
• 43:30
  is like he is getting close where he said that he's like wanting to retire.
• 43:35
  I'm not gonna say that he's gonna actually win, but like not no
• 43:39
  money in the bank. I'm actually pro for him, but I'm just saying
• 43:43
  that title. But I mean, we're all looking into what's gonna give us
• 43:45
  a good program, and I think him going against Seth and maybe having the
• 43:52
  feud for maybe at least for another pay per view or to a build up
• 43:58
  to a pay per view. But he'd be if they can pare him up
• 44:01
  with someone that can work the mic for him a little bit more than he
• 44:07
  can already doing his limited amounts of English that he does manage to get out.
• 44:12
  Well, if they could pare him up with a guy who could talk
• 44:15
  on the mic, I think he'd probably be able to get it. Be
• 44:19
  a little bit of a great boil for Seth Rollins. Yeah, they always
• 44:24
  get him like so close to the title, you know, whether it's like
• 44:28
  winning the Royal Rumble and then going all the way to WrestleMania, just getting
• 44:34
  so close to the gold but never able to like pull the trigger with him.
• 44:39
  That's when they should have pulled it with him. That's why the hottest
• 44:43
  he's ever been in the company. Yeah, and it's coming around because I
• 44:46
  can when he first came out, after you know, his little brief stint
• 44:51
  and taking a break and trying to regather himself, you know, people weren't
• 44:54
  doing the chant with him when to his music. But as he was come
• 45:00
  out and everyone's getting back into the whole Nakamura vibe or the King of Strong
• 45:05
  style, everyone's been kind of joining them and the sing along has been getting
• 45:08
  stronger and stronger. So I think, uh, I think it would be
• 45:14
  good. And if they do play like a long game with him, like
• 45:17
  kind of menacing and uh at seth, I think it could work. He
• 45:24
  was one. He was one of the first guys that had the like interactive
• 45:30
  uh theme song for lack of a better word or whatever, one of the
• 45:34
  first guys that they you know, they channeled along with or whatever, which
• 45:37
  is a kind of becoming a bit much more fandangle that ogle. Yes,
• 45:45
  right, well, I don't think I was thinking of Bobby Rude. I
• 45:51
  think first before Bobby Rude, I think I remember Prack pretty far. Yeah,
• 45:58
  Yeah, I remember Bobby Rude. He really had going with that glorious
• 46:00
  for a while. Yeah, And that's a great entrance. I'm so glad
• 46:04
  I got to see that in person. Wait wait, you said you would
• 46:07
  be surprised if this was the first match on the card U and I would
• 46:13
  be too. But if it is those antenna is better go up because especially
• 46:16
  if that SETH match is until late Yeah yeah yeah, Oh Shenanigans a foot
• 46:22
  Yeah, Sigan's a foot. Uh. The next one they have listed here
• 46:28
  is the Women's Money in the Bank match, which I think these two I
• 46:32
  don't think they're me back to back. I think they'll be kind of spread
• 46:36
  out. Um, this one has Selena Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoe Stark,
• 46:42
  Bailey, EO Sky, and Chris Stratus. So Bailey is the only
• 46:49
  former Money in the Bank winner, but we do have former women's champions in
• 46:54
  this match. Uh. You know, I expect a lot of crazy stunts
• 47:01
  from maybe Selena Vega and maybe a really good one from EO Sky if the
• 47:08
  ladder, Yeah, I really would like Becky Lynch to win it. It
• 47:14
  would make the most amount of sense. Um. I don't really see them
• 47:19
  putting it on Bailey again. I think Zoe Stark is too green. I
• 47:25
  don't think they're gonna give to Selena Vega as much as I'd like them to
• 47:30
  um, but yeah, I definitely. I don't know. There's something just
• 47:37
  tells me like Becky Lisch makes sense, But they're not going to do it.
• 47:42
  I think they're going to put it on Trish. And I know me
• 47:45
  and Drey probably have differences on this, but I think I here's why.
• 47:51
  Uh. I think because Trish it's the one thing she hasn't done yet.
• 47:57
  Uh well, that's not true. It would be just something to add on
• 48:00
  to her quote unquote legacy, you know, before she goes fully retires.
• 48:07
  I guess is she did mention she wanted to win one of the women's titles
• 48:15
  that you know, she hasn't won the versions of the women's titles and she
• 48:20
  wants to. And I feel like that's a good opportunity for her to do
• 48:24
  it. She can hold on to it for quite some time, and you
• 48:29
  know, when she does cash it in, she can have some Shanadikins and
• 48:34
  some help from Zoe Stark if you know, she's still a heel. I
• 48:38
  just I think it's gonna be Trish. I got my money on Trish on
• 48:43
  this, and if not Trish, it's gotta be Becky. You know,
• 48:50
  Trey what are you thinking here, Yeah, this one we do disagree because
• 48:53
  I think it absolutely is going to go on Becky Lynch. The only other
• 48:59
  person I can see possibly getting it is EO Sky because that yeah, yeah,
• 49:06
  I think I think I think the two betting favorites to me are Becky
• 49:10
  Lynch or EO. Sky. At least with EO Sky winning it, then
• 49:14
  you set up that dynamic between her and Bailey and Damage Control which has kind
• 49:19
  of been brewing under the surface, and I think it's a storyline that they
• 49:22
  wanted to go with for a while but had to put on pause because of
• 49:24
  Dakota Kai's injury, so they kind of had to, you know, put
• 49:29
  put the brakes on the uh, you know, the descent within the ranks
• 49:34
  of Damage Control. But if EO Sky when's the money in the bank briefcase,
• 49:37
  then they can kind of still play around with that dynamic a little bit
• 49:42
  until Dakota Kai comes back, and then they ultimately possibly pull the trigger on
• 49:47
  Io Sky breaking out and and away going on about her singles career. Um.
• 49:55
  That being said, though, I still think that they're actually going to
• 50:00
  to give it to Becky Lynch this time around. She's already been in it
• 50:04
  I think five times already, and they it's been made a pretty big deal
• 50:08
  about, you know, her finally trying to win it, Like how many
• 50:12
  times can she be in this and not do it? And I don't think
• 50:15
  they're going to do that too or six times? I think, I think
• 50:22
  I know do all said about money in the bank briefcase usually works best when
• 50:25
  it's under faith, when it's on the hands of a heel and what they
• 50:30
  can do with it. But I also think it can work with Becky Lynch
• 50:34
  as a baby face in this case, just because right now we have somebody
• 50:39
  that she can work as a foil against, and that being rear Ripley as
• 50:45
  the women's world champion and a heel. I we still don't know when they
• 50:52
  would ultimately when they may turn rear Ripley face, and I honestly think they
• 50:59
  may dragged that out longer than we may have initially thought, because I know,
• 51:04
  coming out of WrestleMania, a lot of us thought that a rear Rippley
• 51:07
  face turn was seemingly imminent given how over she kind of was with the audience.
• 51:13
  But they've kind of found something by connecting her with Dom that she's still
• 51:17
  managing to maintain quite a bit of heel heat by being associated with him,
• 51:22
  and some of the cheering that she's gotten has kind of died down a bit.
• 51:28
  I think people still like her and still are fans of her, but
• 51:31
  she's still a very much a strong heel as it stands right now, and
• 51:37
  I think they're probably gonna go down that route for a while. So with
• 51:39
  Becky Lynch as the money in the Bank winner, she can kind of be
• 51:45
  that stalker to rear Ripley. And while rear Ripley still you know, promoting
• 51:52
  herself as the most feared woman all raw and nobody wants a piece of her,
• 51:55
  there can always be that bbculent She's just standing right there and keep talking.
• 52:01
  I got this briefcase right here. Anytime I want, I can come
• 52:06
  at you. And that can be that thing that's you know, that that
• 52:10
  ghost in the shadows almost that's always kind of standing in the back, just
• 52:15
  waiting to pounce on ar Ripley. I think that's an interesting dynamic that they
• 52:19
  can play out for a good while with Becky Lynch as the money in the
• 52:23
  Bank briefcase winner and rear Ripley as the women's world champion, So for what
• 52:30
  it's worth, my money is on Becky Lynch Okay, all right, Doyle,
• 52:37
  Well I see this totally different than both of you. Oh I like
• 52:40
  it, let's hear it. Yeah. Kind of interesting dynamic, right we
• 52:45
  have? We have unlike the men's match, we have no former champions.
• 52:50
  We have three former champions and three never champions. It's kind of an interesting
• 52:54
  dynamic. Trish is the first Hall of Famer ever to be in a money
• 52:59
  in the bank match. Interesting little note. And we get two pairs of
• 53:04
  heels and two baby faces on their own. It's kind of also kind of
• 53:08
  strange. Becky mentioned Zelina and her don't get along super well in a promo,
• 53:15
  but I would expect them to form some kind of uneasy alliance at least
• 53:19
  for a little bit, and that might be kind of fun. This will
• 53:22
  kind of almost be like a trio's match almost. But again, I kind
• 53:29
  of made a list of every participant and what I thought they were going to
• 53:32
  do and why, and uh yeah. My least likely to win is Trish
• 53:38
  because I don't think she's gonna be around much past SummerSlam, where I think
• 53:44
  she's gonna have a match with Becky Lynch, which eliminates Becky from the running
• 53:47
  because I think Trish is going to cost her as part of the match,
• 53:52
  cost her the briefcase. And I think Zoe Stark is out because she's wrapped
• 53:57
  up in the Trish and Becky drama, and plus she just got here,
• 54:00
  you know, like her being in the match is great, that's I mean,
• 54:07
  how long has she been on RAW? A month? Two months?
• 54:09
  Not even so just being there with those ladies it tells you what they must
• 54:15
  think of her in the office. But she ain't winning this thing, Bailey,
• 54:20
  I don't think needs it at all. She's already wanted anyway. She's
• 54:23
  been there, she's done that, and she seems like one of the most
• 54:28
  unselfish people in the company. Really, I don't think she really cares if
• 54:35
  she wins and loses all that much. I think she's more into telling good
• 54:37
  stories and being with her friends and and stuff like that. So I don't
• 54:42
  think she really cares if she wins or not, which leaves us with two
• 54:47
  now. As Elena, she had one of those accolades we kind of talked
• 54:51
  about. She was Queen of the Ring, and she didn't really do much
• 54:54
  of anything with it. Granted it was still pandemic era, but I don't
• 55:00
  know what's to say She's gonna do a whole lot with the briefcase if she
• 55:02
  gets it. I mean, her credibility has increased a little bit since the
• 55:07
  matchic backlash, but she just hasn't really done much with it. Um,
• 55:12
  she deserves to be in a match like this, absolutely, but I don't
• 55:15
  think she's gonna win, because I think if Sky is gonna win, I
• 55:19
  think she's poised for a soul solo run has been for a while. Somebody
• 55:23
  else mentioned it, but I think Bailey is the jealous stablemate, will be
• 55:30
  terribly entertaining, probably lead to a feud with the two of them at some
• 55:35
  point. Yeah, I think she's got the most upside at this exact momentum.
• 55:44
  Yeah, Trish is great. I love the idea of her, you
• 55:46
  know, getting one of these modern belts that she's never had or whatever.
• 55:52
  But I just I don't think she's gonna be around long enough for it to
• 55:53
  make sense wasting the briefcase on her. And they keep they keep saying,
• 56:00
  um that what is six and zero seven? And oh that the women are
• 56:07
  no women have always cashed in successfully, so you gotta think, you gotta
• 56:10
  think failures coming, right. So, I don't know. I didn't really
• 56:17
  figure that into my calculus. Who I thought might win the briefcase but lose
• 56:22
  the cash in. But that's just something to think about. One of these
• 56:25
  years, it's gonna happen, right, Yeah, you think it wouldn't happen
• 56:30
  one of these years. But I know if anybody could successfully cash in,
• 56:32
  it could be EO. I could see, especially on the uh the SmackDown
• 56:37
  side, with the w W Women's title, that now that it's off of
• 56:40
  Bianca, I could see that title being essentially up for grabs for anybody on
• 56:46
  at least on that side. I don't know that we're going to see another
• 56:50
  long dominant run with that title on what the w W Women's title on SmackDown,
• 56:57
  especially since we're poised for Ria Ripley to be to be the one with
• 57:02
  the long term run. I don't think they want to monopolize both belts like
• 57:07
  that. I agree that's it. Carlos thinks, all right, Carlos,
• 57:15
  you got to you got free left. Who are you picking the Zoweys,
• 57:20
  Zelena or Bailey. I actually think that it is U probably gonna go to
• 57:27
  Trish. Yeah, there's not as much as I like the whole you know,
• 57:37
  Zelena and thing being able to get to it and things like that.
• 57:43
  I just don't see it. They have this whole thing where they're trying to
• 57:46
  push this LWO stable and have her be a part of it, but it's
• 57:52
  not really going anywhere. I think it's just there just to see if Ray
• 57:55
  can make it work. And like Zelena is a good worker. There's a
• 58:00
  reason why she was, like you know, put in that movie that they
• 58:05
  did about Page where she was playing Aju J's role in that movie when when
• 58:15
  Page wins, the title offer her the next day after WrestleMania. Excuse me.
• 58:22
  So she's a good worker, and I just don't think that she has
• 58:29
  the following or the like the fans enough to like bring in the money,
• 58:36
  whether it's in merch or in ticket sales and things like that. Or she
• 58:40
  can probably carry a few loud and carry and cut a couple of promos against
• 58:46
  somebody. But it looks like that stable right now is LW stable is currently
• 58:52
  like a face a baby face stable. So I don't see that happening.
• 58:58
  Um Zoe, Uh, it's under Trish and we all know underlying under a
• 59:05
  bigger name and this being a part timer, but we still don't know if
• 59:08
  she's a full if she's a part timer or a full timer, because she's
• 59:14
  been Trish has been more at shows than Roman has. She hasn't wrestled in
• 59:19
  them, but she's at least cut some promos or done some vignettes and things
• 59:23
  backstage or in the ring, unlike Roman who doesn't even show up or anything
• 59:28
  like that. Maybe like one or one per one SmackDown either before or after
• 59:37
  the pay per view, you know. So Bailey, we all know that
• 59:43
  she's kind of like building that whole rivalry with EO and that might lead to
• 59:49
  something. And that's probably something that gets built into that match where Baby's making
• 59:55
  her way up there or EO's making her way up there. Excuse me,
• 59:59
  that's the way I wanted to go, and then Bailey bumps her off and
• 1:00:02
  that starts the whole rift between them and leads to a match at summers Lam.
• 1:00:07
  So you know, basically, that's my reasoning. That's my dissertation,
• 1:00:13
  guys, this is my doctor's thesis, and why I think Trish is going
• 1:00:16
  to be the one who takes it mainly because she's she's still able to cut
• 1:00:23
  good promos, whether sometimes they hit or not, the majority that they've been
• 1:00:30
  getting better and she's gotten more time on the mic. And what better way
• 1:00:36
  for her to kind of groom or no mentor Zoe start than to at least
• 1:00:43
  have come off as the winner. What Zoe helping her win? Obviously the
• 1:00:47
  money, the women's money in the bank title. Right, we have a
• 1:00:53
  lot of well not a lot. We have two teams in here. We
• 1:00:58
  have Zoe and Trish and on Bailey, two women, two sets of women
• 1:01:04
  here who are going to definitely work together and then possibly turn on each other.
• 1:01:07
  Yeah, and see, I hear y'all about Trish. But I'm in
• 1:01:12
  the same mindset as Doyle. Trisha is a part timer, like she's here
• 1:01:16
  for a you know, a bit of a slightly extended one now. But
• 1:01:21
  like Doyle said, I don't see it being going past SummerSlam because, unlike
• 1:01:28
  Trish, Stratus may not have much notoriety here in the States outside of wrestling,
• 1:01:34
  but in Canada, she's actually a bona fide celebrity in Canada, like
• 1:01:38
  she coh, like she's one of the hosts on I think Canada's version of
• 1:01:43
  America's Got Talent, like Canada's Got Talent or something like that, or or
• 1:01:46
  X Factor or whatever one of those shows, those type of shows. She's
• 1:01:50
  a host on that, So she has legitimate celebrity status in Canada outside of
• 1:01:58
  just WWE. So she already has other commitments and such. So there's just
• 1:02:04
  I don't think she just has the room for an extended run in WWE like
• 1:02:09
  that, or to come back in any kind of a full timer. I
• 1:02:13
  think she has a she cleared out her schedule or had a gap in her
• 1:02:16
  schedule for these summer months and agreed to come back and work a program,
• 1:02:22
  you know, get a you know, do it obviously for the love of
• 1:02:25
  the game and to work with some the younger talent that she's never had a
• 1:02:30
  chance to work before. And also, you know, associate herself with a
• 1:02:35
  newcomer and give that person a boost and give them a launching pad to kick
• 1:02:38
  off their solo run on the main roster in the former zo We start.
• 1:02:43
  I think that's really about as far as it goes as far as with Trish.
• 1:02:46
  Now, you could maybe make the Logan Paul argument for Trip Stratus wing
• 1:02:51
  it in terms of you know, using her celebrity status along with the money
• 1:02:55
  in the bank briefcase. But I don't think it works the same way with
• 1:02:59
  Trip like it would with Logan Paul, because, yeah, Logan Paul,
• 1:03:04
  you can easily see him parading that briefcase around like it ain't nobody's business.
• 1:03:09
  I don't know that Trish, in her celebrity status in Canada, I don't
• 1:03:15
  know how much she uh plays up her wrestling persona in terms of in her
• 1:03:22
  celebrity status in Canada like I would. I can't see her seat being on
• 1:03:28
  Canada's got talent in the judge's chair and slapped them slapping the money in the
• 1:03:31
  bank briefcase on the table as well, like oh, by the way,
• 1:03:36
  y'all, while I was away from the show, you know, I wanted
• 1:03:37
  this thing here, like, I can't see that happening. So I don't
• 1:03:40
  think the Logan Paul argument could apply to Trisha as much. Yeah, all
• 1:03:45
  American celebrities are celebrities in Canada. Also, not all Canadian celebrities are also
• 1:03:51
  Americans exactly exactly, but there are these are a lot of Canadian celebrities who
• 1:03:58
  are celebrities, but most of the time it's because people don't realize that they're
• 1:04:00
  Canadian, like you know, Ryan Reynolds and such like, like one of
• 1:04:04
  the hosts of America's Got Talent Canadian, Howie Mandel. Huh yeah, Kerry
• 1:04:10
  Crews is the only person on that stupid show that is American. But yeah,
• 1:04:15
  I digress, right right. Yeah, a lot of people who are
• 1:04:18
  like Canadian celebrities that are huge in America, we don't realize they're Canadian or
• 1:04:23
  they made their fame here in the States any damn way. So Michael J.
• 1:04:27
  Fox, all right, guys, moving on. Uh, I don't
• 1:04:35
  know how we ended up here from uh, you know, being one of
• 1:04:43
  the main events of WrestleMania to going against Brock Lesner. So now Cody Rhodes
• 1:04:49
  versus Dominic Mysterio with Ria ripley Um. I find it weird that Ria isn't
• 1:04:57
  defending her title and instead she's gonna be in Dominic dom Dom's corner this time.
• 1:05:04
  Uh, I guess Cody. Cody is still nursing a injured wrist from
• 1:05:14
  Brock. Uh. He's not always kfavee with it. There's sometimes you can
• 1:05:17
  catch him with it not on Uh you know, he has that advantage of
• 1:05:21
  that titanium steel. Uh, they build submarines out of this stuff too soon.
• 1:05:33
  Oh my gosh. I mean, this is a match that it seems
• 1:05:38
  like nobody asked for. I I definitely didn't ask for it. Uh.
• 1:05:45
  Does Cody take an ell here from Dominic mysterio? I don't think so.
• 1:05:50
  I think, Uh, Cody's gonna make Dominic look pretty good in the ring.
• 1:05:55
  Uh. Dominic did very well when he faced stef Rollins. I remember
• 1:06:01
  Seth and him putting on a pretty good match. So I'm kind of hoping
• 1:06:04
  that Cody elevates him here and he puts on a really good match. There's
• 1:06:09
  gonna be some Riah Ripley Shanadian's going on here, but I kind of hope
• 1:06:15
  Cody Rhodes comes out as the winner on this. Drey, who do you
• 1:06:19
  think is to come out on top? Yeah? I kind of set a
• 1:06:25
  similar thing on in our discord, which you all should join if you're not
• 1:06:29
  in already use This match I think does have the potential to be a signature
• 1:06:38
  match for dom or at least a coming out match of sorts for Dominic if
• 1:06:43
  he can bring it in the ring, If he can really bring it in
• 1:06:46
  this match, and with the help of Cody, look pretty damn good.
• 1:06:53
  Then this can be a match that changes how people perceive Dominic masterial. Not
• 1:06:59
  saying from this point that they would start to cheer him or anything of that
• 1:07:01
  nature. No, he's the booze is way too strong. They ain't going
• 1:07:04
  away overnight off one match. But at the very least people can start to
• 1:07:09
  look at him as his own individual and as a legitimate singles competitor and not
• 1:07:15
  just raise son or a tag along in Judgment Day or as rear Ripley's sub
• 1:07:27
  Like he can stand on his own if he can bring it in this match.
• 1:07:30
  And because of that, I almost kind of want him to win through
• 1:07:33
  some sort of cheating shenanigans. So I'm gonna push my chips in on Dom
• 1:07:42
  and say that he wins this match. I think he's not gonna win it
• 1:07:45
  clean. He ain't about to just win and beat Cody. No, but
• 1:07:49
  he'll He'll cheat in some way, shape or form and get the win over
• 1:07:57
  Cody Rhodes wild Horse. We get a surprise appearance from Brock Lesner, who
• 1:08:02
  takes out Cody and enables Dom to win, setting up Cody versus Brock where
• 1:08:09
  would it be three at SummerSlam? Yeah? Yeah, the Big Three?
• 1:08:14
  All right? Uh, Doyle, who do you think is coming out on
• 1:08:17
  top? Well, I think we're definitely gonna get Cody Brock three. Apparently
• 1:08:25
  nowadays everything has to be a trilogy, and I don't know that we need
• 1:08:30
  in I kind of, in doing this realized I was booking interference in almost
• 1:08:34
  every match, so I actually cut the Brock interference from this one. H
• 1:08:42
  But he keeps talking about how he has this open challenge to Brock Lesner,
• 1:08:45
  right, so I don't know that he needs anything else to set it up.
• 1:08:49
  But anyway, that's not really good point. Um yeah, I mean
• 1:08:53
  I don't think there's much drama in this. I think, uh, I
• 1:08:56
  think Cody wins. It's just how we get there is really the clau You
• 1:09:00
  know, Normally a DOM match is going to be, you know, plagued
• 1:09:04
  by judgment day interference. But we've got Damien and Finn both busy elsewhere,
• 1:09:11
  so it's gonna be the Dom Dom and Mommy show, I think. So
• 1:09:15
  of course, Ray Ripley is going to loom large over this match. Uh.
• 1:09:18
  And I kind of had an inkling about something I thought might happen in
• 1:09:23
  this match. Uh, and then something on Raw the other night all but
• 1:09:28
  confirmed it in my uh my head cannon. Anyway, if you think back
• 1:09:32
  to Cody's time in a W he uh came out with this huge entourage,
• 1:09:39
  right Uh. You know he had Dustiny and arn Anderson, he had MGF
• 1:09:44
  MJF a little while he the Green Lantern guy um and oftentimes you would have
• 1:09:48
  his faithful dog Pharaoh, who we just saw on Raw finally for the first
• 1:09:54
  time. But I left somebody out, somebody. Uh. Maybe we'll see
• 1:09:59
  them as a one off. Maybe they'll become part of the story. I
• 1:10:01
  don't know, but do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do do
• 1:10:05
  do do. I think we're gonna see Brandy here. I think she's gonna
• 1:10:10
  be a come out and get involved with Riha Ripley somehow, And it wouldn't
• 1:10:15
  surprise me to see her. Now that we've seen the Dog, I think
• 1:10:18
  she's next. There have been stories that she's been working out at the Performance
• 1:10:23
  Center. Uh. I'm not saying I endorse this idea, but I wouldn't
• 1:10:28
  surprise me at all if they stick her in with him and kind of add
• 1:10:33
  to his his presentation if you will. So, yeah, I think I
• 1:10:39
  think I think we're gonna see Cody win here, and I think he probably
• 1:10:43
  managed to get a pretty good match out of old Dommy there, and I
• 1:10:46
  think it'll elevate Tom in a loss. Uh, and that'll be the point.
• 1:10:53
  Can you imagine getting that phone call from Vince and then it's like we
• 1:10:57
  need you on raw and he's like, you really need me? You need
• 1:11:00
  me finally? No, no, we bring the dog. The dog got
• 1:11:06
  the phone call before she did. Carlos all right with this one. Yeah,
• 1:11:16
  I'm pretty much gonna give this to Dom winning via some type of interference.
• 1:11:23
  There's no way that this can go over where Dom actually beats him clean.
• 1:11:31
  Yeah, it would be nice probably if Cody can get to win here.
• 1:11:36
  But I think this is like the downward spiral that Cody is going through
• 1:11:43
  right here. You always gotta go and you always gotta fall before they pick
• 1:11:47
  you back up, right So this is uh, the downfall of Cody before
• 1:11:53
  they can build him back up. And maybe he can actually win that title
• 1:11:59
  for his dad in for his family. But right now we're going down down
• 1:12:03
  the We're circling the drain here, we're close to rock bottom. I'm sure
• 1:12:09
  that's how we feel with him losing this match to Dom, whether it's some
• 1:12:16
  type of interference with the distraction from Ray or Brock coming in, like everyone's
• 1:12:24
  mentioned to set up that Summer Slam trilogy fight or match. But yeah,
• 1:12:30
  I just can't see Cody winning this, and you know, just that's the
• 1:12:34
  end either if it's if Cody for some reason they they book Cody to win,
• 1:12:40
  it's not going to be the end. And we'll probably won't get Brock
• 1:12:43
  at Summer Slam. It will probably be like a maybe a Survivor series or
• 1:12:48
  something later on or whatever. And maybe he's it's something seasoned up in Canada
• 1:12:53
  and he's over there trying to save people from the forest fires. Who knows
• 1:12:57
  what Brock's doing right now, but I think I think, uh, it's
• 1:13:01
  gonna be done, okay, m Yeah, so we're I think we're two
• 1:13:08
  and two. Yeah. Another thing is like Cody kin was And speaking of
• 1:13:14
  which what happened? You brought up a good point about the downward spiral of
• 1:13:19
  Cody continuing. You know that was when't that your whole thesis, Doyle,
• 1:13:24
  that Cody had to be broken down to the to the bone, to the
• 1:13:29
  bare bone before we could build him back up. What happened to that?
• 1:13:30
  It was, But I just can't see a world in which Dominic Masterio beats
• 1:13:34
  Cody Brock. Well, yeah, if we were talking clean, then absolutely
• 1:13:40
  yeah, there's no way in hell that happens. Which is why I think
• 1:13:43
  I'm kind of leaning in on Brock making an appearance and interfering one. Brock
• 1:13:47
  would get a huge pop when he shows up just for the for the British
• 1:13:51
  audience and to be a surprise, and it provides a way for dom to
• 1:13:57
  get the win and go on, aren't talking shit about that? And Fee
• 1:14:01
  and Cody can easily just bounce off of this loss to Dominate like it's nothing
• 1:14:08
  and jump right back into the feud with Brock going into SummerSlam. I mean
• 1:14:13
  the loss would be almost, you know, almost a non factor to him.
• 1:14:20
  That's yeah, it would be huge for Tom. I mean, I'm
• 1:14:23
  not I'm not saying you guys aren't. Aren't swaying me a little bit here?
• 1:14:28
  But like I said, I had Brock in my original uh my original
• 1:14:33
  idea, I had Brock interfering, and then I realized I had interference in
• 1:14:38
  almost every match and this is the one you chose to cut out. Uh,
• 1:14:45
  the only the only match. I think we're assured that there won't won't
• 1:14:47
  be any uh any additions to the is the women's money in the bank match.
• 1:14:53
  Because everybody else already already has a title, is pregnant or insurance.
• 1:14:58
  There's nobody else left. That's so true. Hmm, that's pretty true,
• 1:15:02
  pretty much true. Uh yeah, all right, before we move on to
• 1:15:06
  this next one, I think we're gonna take a quick break, because I
• 1:15:11
  you'd take a peat break. No, I was only thinking about your happiness.
• 1:15:20
  I know, Dad, and I appreciate it. The problem now is
• 1:15:24
  that these people are expecting a show. Ladies and gentlemen. Mister Conway twitty
• 1:15:32
  nice, it's been as you Okay, after much relief, we are back.
• 1:15:53
  I thought I could make it all the way through. I could.
• 1:15:55
  I was like, I got to go. Uh next match on the car
• 1:16:00
  they have here, Seth freaking Rollins the world heavyweight Champion versus Finn bala Um.
• 1:16:09
  You know what, It's funny. We got this match already. We
• 1:16:13
  got this match literally before Seth won the world title. It was a qualifying
• 1:16:20
  match, and I don't know, like I was kind of like over it.
• 1:16:25
  I was like, I've already seen this match. I've seen this feud
• 1:16:28
  a couple of times. But if you know, Seth was telling Finn recently
• 1:16:33
  like, you know what what version of Finnbalor he wants? You know?
• 1:16:39
  And I kind of hope we get the version that Seth wants, you know,
• 1:16:44
  the more badass, not the the smiling or the uh, the goofy,
• 1:16:50
  you know, Finn Balor. I think he's slowly partying way. It
• 1:16:56
  looks like he might be slowly partying away from the Judgment Day. I would
• 1:17:00
  like to see Finnbalor on his own again, you know, maybe as a
• 1:17:03
  face I did. You know, I understand his character got stale after a
• 1:17:08
  while, but damn, like, you know, since Judgment Day, I
• 1:17:14
  kind of missed the old Finnbalor. You know, if he does win here,
• 1:17:17
  maybe that could catapult him into the old Finnbalor gimmick. But I don't
• 1:17:27
  unless if Damian Priest wins the money the Brank briefcase, then I most likely
• 1:17:33
  would change my mind. But I'm pretty sure Seth Rawlins is going to come
• 1:17:39
  out as champion. He's gonna retain. I don't see Finn walking away with
• 1:17:45
  any gold this weekend, Dre, Where do you sit on this one?
• 1:17:51
  Yeah, my money's on seth Rawlins and this one. Um, I just
• 1:17:56
  don't see them putting the World Heavyweight Championship on Seth Rowlins just to have him
• 1:18:03
  drop it at the very next pay per view. That's something that you usually
• 1:18:08
  reserve for transitional champions, for somebody that you want to you know, somebody
• 1:18:13
  like maybe like a little heel that you need to take the title real quick
• 1:18:16
  just so they can drop it to the next big baby face or what have
• 1:18:21
  you. You know that person that you just need to get it off one
• 1:18:25
  hands into another major person's hands, and you just need somebody to fill the
• 1:18:28
  gap in between Seth Rollins. Isn't that? And Finn Balor ain't the next
• 1:18:33
  big, big time champion either, at least not at this point, So
• 1:18:40
  I don't see Finn Balor beating him to win the title under any circumstances.
• 1:18:44
  That being said, I do think this is probably going to be the match
• 1:18:48
  of the night. I think they are actolutely going to put on a hell
• 1:18:51
  of a show between and in terms of performance, this match will this has
• 1:19:00
  five star potential, right like I said, yeah, I know you mentioned
• 1:19:03
  that we have seen these guys go at it before, but it's been a
• 1:19:06
  good while since we've seen them go at it, especially with the stakes this
• 1:19:12
  high, so and an and on a pay per view. Yeah, I
• 1:19:17
  believe these guys are definitely going to steal the show the night. This match
• 1:19:21
  I see easily going twenty five minutes, maybe even a fall a half hour,
• 1:19:27
  and they're just going to throw everything at each other. And I think,
• 1:19:31
  and honestly, I think it's gonna be just a one on one.
• 1:19:34
  I think this match is gonna be fairly clean. I don't see I don't
• 1:19:38
  think anybody's gonna interfere. I don't think anybody else from Judgment Day is gonna
• 1:19:41
  come to sets I'm gonna come to a Finnbaler's aid in any way, shape
• 1:19:44
  or form. I think this is just gonna be one on one, you
• 1:19:48
  know, one on one, top tier match, and Seth is gonna come
• 1:19:53
  out on top, all right, Doyle, Uh Yeah, this absolutely has
• 1:20:03
  matched the night potential for sure. Um. Yeah, I'm a huge Finn
• 1:20:09
  fan, but he has kind of been rudderless, uh, you know,
• 1:20:14
  while the profiles of his stable mats have kind of risen around him. You
• 1:20:17
  know, he hasn't really recovered from that kind of debacle of a hell on
• 1:20:21
  the Cell match at WrestleMania. Um. You know, uh, like I
• 1:20:28
  said, if this happens after the men's winning the bank match, it wouldn't
• 1:20:31
  rule out a same day cash in here. UM, but I think I
• 1:20:35
  think Seth wins here. But I don't expect that title reign to last much
• 1:20:41
  longer, honestly, UM, I could definitely see him getting cash in on
• 1:20:45
  or losing at Summer Slam, or even before Summer Slam. Uh. You
• 1:20:48
  know this is supposed to be the quote unquote you know Workhorse Championship. Uh,
• 1:20:54
  basically like a contrast to Roman and his titles. Um, you know
• 1:20:59
  it might not hurt to lose us to to uh for this title to change
• 1:21:02
  hands on raw sometime, you know, uh, just you know, so
• 1:21:06
  so that anything can happen and then you know, UM give it, give
• 1:21:12
  it some more credibility. UM. Sorry, if you can hear this crashing
• 1:21:16
  in the background anyway, UM, maybe this is where we get some advancement
• 1:21:23
  with Finn and whatever's going on with um what's the other Irish kid's name?
• 1:21:28
  Uh? JD. Mcdonnaugh. Is that right? Another more interference me booking,
• 1:21:34
  more interference. Um, but at any rate, I hope this is
• 1:21:39
  like a return to form for Finn. Uh, back to being that badass.
• 1:21:43
  That fucking promo on raw was fucking aces really good shit. Uh And
• 1:21:50
  you know, uh, we kind of need to be reminded of how good
• 1:21:54
  Finn Balor is, you know. Uh, we shouldn't have to be reminded,
• 1:21:58
  but he's been booked kind of shitty even and even as much as he's
• 1:22:01
  in a major heel faction, his booking has been the worst out of that
• 1:22:05
  whole group. And he's supposed to be the leader. Um. So yeah,
• 1:22:11
  you know, if this pay per view wasn't the Bloodline Civil War,
• 1:22:15
  it could be as the judgment Day Turns might be might be a good um
• 1:22:21
  I see what you did there, good title. Because all of these matches
• 1:22:27
  kind of inform each other a little bit to a degree. Everybody's busy,
• 1:22:30
  so maybe it won't be much interference on everybody's behalf like we usually get out
• 1:22:34
  of them. So yes, that's me. I'm not set. Uh.
• 1:22:38
  Finn might be on his own here, which is why I think maybe something's
• 1:22:43
  going on with that Jady mcdonoughan. Whether it's him joining them, joining the
• 1:22:47
  Judgment Day or Finni leaving the Judgment Day and going with him, who knows,
• 1:22:53
  But yeah, I think so that's gonna win. But this, this
• 1:22:55
  might be uh, this might be getting up in a four and a half
• 1:22:58
  five star territory the Judgment Days of our lives. Yes, exactly better.
• 1:23:06
  You know what could possibly happened, just throwing it out there as a possible
• 1:23:11
  scenario. We could see, maybe Damian Priest wins money in the bank,
• 1:23:19
  He's now mister money in the bank. We're Ripley is the women's world champion,
• 1:23:26
  Dominic Masterio beat Cody Rhodes, Finnbalor lost, and then they edge his
• 1:23:34
  ass and kick him out because he's the way. He's now seen as the
• 1:23:40
  weak link in the group, and that could be the opening for JD McDonough
• 1:23:47
  to take his place, not necessarily as the leader, but it's like,
• 1:23:50
  you're weak, you're bringing us down. Everybody else is doing their party in
• 1:23:55
  Judgment Day. You're not holding it. You're not holding up your end.
• 1:23:58
  You gotta go and we're gonna bring in some fresh meat. Somebody knew carl
• 1:24:09
  Or j D mcdonna's maybe somebody who's been pulling the cars behind, pulling strings
• 1:24:12
  behind the scene. Maybe he does come in as the new leader and he's
• 1:24:15
  been the guy just you know, behind the scenes in their ear like you
• 1:24:17
  know that motherfucking shit, right, you know he's trashed, right, I
• 1:24:20
  think gonna get his bomass up out of there, just throw it out there.
• 1:24:27
  It's say it in Gaelic though, all right, Yeah with this one,
• 1:24:33
  I think it's also gonna be uh Seth that comes off and pulls this
• 1:24:40
  off. But it could be like those things where it's not because of Seth.
• 1:24:50
  Uh. I'm not gonna say that he doesn't win it clean, but
• 1:24:56
  there's gonna be like some time of distraction for Finn, whether it is by
• 1:25:00
  JD McDonough or maybe maybe Finn might kind of poke his head in to try
• 1:25:08
  to help Damian priests win, because you've seen that that's been boiling up kind
• 1:25:13
  of you know, like they've been egging each other or kind of getting in
• 1:25:16
  each other's faces and getting on each other's nerves. So maybe Finn tries to
• 1:25:21
  go help Damian try to win the ladder, the money in the bank ladder
• 1:25:26
  match, and then fails miserably and then you know, Damian goes to repay
• 1:25:31
  the favor polls a distraction, not an interference, but just comes out there
• 1:25:35
  and just as Finn is gonna win, then he you know, comes out
• 1:25:42
  distracts Finn. Finn loses and that's how he gets taken out because he just
• 1:25:46
  cost the Damian, you know, the money in the bank briefcase. Shit,
• 1:25:56
  so many possibilities with the briefcase. Uh, they have this one as
• 1:26:03
  the fifth match of the night. The Bloodline Roman reigns and solo Sukoa with
• 1:26:13
  Paul Hayman versus the USOS Jay and Jimmy USO the Civil War The Bloodline Civil
• 1:26:19
  War tag team match. Uh, you know what, I kinda this storyline
• 1:26:29
  has been fucking phenomenal since begin beginning to end. Uh, it's still going.
• 1:26:35
  You know a lot of us thought like after WrestleMania, maybe this storyline
• 1:26:40
  would end, but no, it's still going. I also thought that this
• 1:26:44
  match we wouldn't even see it till like, I don't know, SummerSlam even,
• 1:26:48
  but we got it like right away. Um. You know, it's
• 1:26:55
  crazy to think from WrestleMania to how we got to hear Um, now that
• 1:27:02
  we finally have you know, like Kevin Owens and Sammy Zane out of the
• 1:27:06
  picture. You know, it's just solely focusing on the members of the Bloodline
• 1:27:15
  and we're finally getting that civil war we finally got. You know, the
• 1:27:19
  USOS picked their side, you know, Solo picked his side. We know
• 1:27:25
  where everybody stands uh. You know, last tag match Brains and Solo had
• 1:27:31
  together, they lost. You know, a lot of Shenanicans happened in that
• 1:27:35
  match, but you know, as one of the greatest tag teams of all
• 1:27:41
  time, the USOS, I kind of see them coming out on top.
• 1:27:45
  They you know, I guess it could go either way, but I want
• 1:27:50
  to see the USOS walk out, you know, with their heads held high.
• 1:27:55
  I want to see the USOS win this match. I think they need
• 1:27:58
  it. They haven't gotten in w in a while. They even uh you
• 1:28:02
  know ever since they lost those titles, they haven't gotten one. So what
• 1:28:05
  better two guys to get to win over than Roman and Solo. So,
• 1:28:14
  yeah, I got my money on Lusos on this one. Trey, who
• 1:28:17
  do you got your money on? Yeah, we're kind of in some uncharted
• 1:28:26
  territory with the Bloodline because I think for the first time in a good while,
• 1:28:30
  we have no idea whatsoever what direction this faction is going, or where
• 1:28:36
  any of them are going. It would seem like the direction would be the
• 1:28:43
  continued downfall of Roman reigns. But with the rumors that he's still gonna be
• 1:28:49
  champed, possibly to WrestleMania next year, you know, how much of a
• 1:28:55
  downfall, you know, or how long can they drag that out, or
• 1:29:00
  you know, how can he lose now at this point, having and still
• 1:29:08
  you know, seems strong going forward. Like so, this one's of all
• 1:29:13
  the matches in the on the car, this was the hardest one to pick
• 1:29:18
  because, like you said, there's a legit argument either way. The USO's
• 1:29:25
  sure they've been on a bit of a losing streak. They could use the
• 1:29:27
  wind over Roman and Solo. At the same time, it's it's Roman and
• 1:29:35
  you know, depending on how long they're gonna drag out this civil war,
• 1:29:41
  which I would assume this isn't going to be just a one and done thing.
• 1:29:44
  I would assume that this is going to continue beyond this pay per view,
• 1:29:47
  which would lead you to think that Roman and Solo put them down now,
• 1:29:54
  but still can't but they still refuse to fall in line, which is
• 1:30:00
  which would lead to the few continuing. So, man, you could really
• 1:30:05
  flip a coin on this one. This could really go either way. I
• 1:30:11
  think I'm going to go with Roman and Solo. I'm not confident in that
• 1:30:23
  pick. It's really it's truly a fifty fifty in my eyes. But I
• 1:30:29
  think I think the civil war continues to some extent even though the next pay
• 1:30:36
  per view of Summer Slam, and I'm almost certain that Roman's gonna have a
• 1:30:40
  title defense at Summer Slam. I I just think that they're going to have
• 1:30:50
  Roman and Solo beat the USOS. Man, I'm not confident in that pick
• 1:30:57
  at all. It is hard. This one is definitely a difficult pick.
• 1:31:02
  It's not it's not easy. H Doyle. Let's let's hear your thoughts on
• 1:31:09
  this one. Well, Roman better have a goddamn title defense at SummerSlam,
• 1:31:15
  because if he doesn't, it's gonna be one hundred and twenty five days without
• 1:31:20
  him defending the fucking title. It's crazy, ludicrous. What happened to the
• 1:31:25
  thirty day rule anyway? Um that should die with the Monday night warsh The
• 1:31:32
  match is kind of just window dressing to what happens after the match, right.
• 1:31:38
  I think the last few Roman matches have basically gone that way, where
• 1:31:43
  the end of the match is the end of Act two and then you get
• 1:31:46
  the whole other Act three after the match. So I expect that trend to
• 1:31:51
  continue, h I think. As as as for the match, I think
• 1:31:56
  Roman and Solo win because they lost last time. I can't see them losing
• 1:32:01
  two in a row. So after the match now, the rumor going around
• 1:32:08
  is that they're mulling over two different endings and they're both shocking. That's something
• 1:32:14
  to look forward to. What they will be I don't know, but here's
• 1:32:15
  my best guess. I could see something sort of like this, Roman and
• 1:32:19
  Solo win. Jimmy's incapacitated outside the ring. Somehow they tie up Jay and
• 1:32:28
  the ropes, or they handcuffing the ropes or something whatever. Roman gives the
• 1:32:31
  chair to Solo. He gives them the loyalty tests, right, and of
• 1:32:36
  course what is that? What happens? Solo lays out Roman, but then
• 1:32:40
  Solo also hits Jay, throws the chair down and leaves Hyman comes in the
• 1:32:45
  ring apoplectic, just totally in shock, and end scene, which sets up
• 1:32:51
  a fatal four way at Summer Slam between all four members of the Bloodline.
• 1:32:57
  The blood Line implodes. That's Ammers Slayer. I like that, Thoy,
• 1:33:05
  I like that. So all the Bloodline fighting each other for the title.
• 1:33:11
  Yeah, it's a possibility. Yeah. Ten years ago, the kickoff show
• 1:33:19
  for Money in the Bank pay per view was for the tag team Championships.
• 1:33:25
  It was the US versus Roman Brains and Seth Rowlands the champions. The more
• 1:33:30
  they change, the more they stayed the same, right, Carlos, what
• 1:33:38
  do you think. It's a tough decision, man, I think then it's
• 1:33:43
  gonna go with U Roman and U Solo. This is uh something that is
• 1:33:53
  not going to be a clean when there will be some interferience, um,
• 1:33:59
  because this is called the Bloodline. So now we have to figure out who
• 1:34:08
  in that wrestling family on what's the toile? You know the name of the
• 1:34:16
  Samoa family, thank you? Yeah. So one of those they, I'm
• 1:34:25
  sure they'll shake the tree and someone will fall out. Been hearing a lot
• 1:34:30
  of chatter that it might be the wrestling tag team that's known as the Girls
• 1:34:38
  a Destiny that might come in and start to replenish the Bloodline for Roman.
• 1:34:46
  That would be an interesting pick up if Vince or Hunter, whoever is in
• 1:34:51
  charge of booking the talent or signing the title the talent, can get those
• 1:34:56
  guys in there, because that would be a another way to continue running this
• 1:35:03
  storyline, because as Hunter said, where we were barely halfway, we weren't
• 1:35:09
  even halfway when they were done at WrestleMania, So I can't see that this
• 1:35:16
  would be the end. Just a couple of months after WrestleMania, we're already
• 1:35:24
  calling the end of the Bloodline. So there's always dougs and soldiers and other
• 1:35:31
  people that have to rise up in the ranks to replace the copos and all
• 1:35:38
  the generals and things along those lines, if I remember my fioso movie histories
• 1:35:45
  and books and things like that. So I don't know who they're gonna have
• 1:35:50
  come in and help Roman or Solo if they're in a losing predicament to change
• 1:35:58
  that to a win for bloodline, But I'm thinking that's where it's gonna go,
• 1:36:02
  and I predict that it's going to be Roman in the Solo with the
• 1:36:06
  w I can't believe Rakishi hasn't been involved in this in any way. Yeah,
• 1:36:13
  I keep waiting for that. Yeah, you keep seeing stories about him
• 1:36:16
  tweeting certain things like he's gonna pop up at some point. But I just
• 1:36:20
  I think they just don't have anything of substance for him to do other than
• 1:36:25
  show up, try to call for peace and then get his ship kicked in.
• 1:36:29
  I mean, I'm sure he isn't busy. Yeah, but like like
• 1:36:33
  other than like other than that, what could maybe? I mean it may
• 1:36:36
  be an opening now, Like suppose they do go the route of um,
• 1:36:42
  like you said, bringing in that other kind of ye tag team to replace
• 1:36:45
  the USO's in the bloodline, and then Jimmy and Jay are just kind of
• 1:36:49
  out there on their owner. Maybe they turned the Dad for some of the
• 1:36:51
  guidance. Maybe that's a role for him to play, at least on television.
• 1:36:56
  I damn sure don't see him if Rakishi would pop in, I wouldn't
• 1:36:59
  see him showing up in any type of wrestling capacity, but some type of
• 1:37:03
  mentoring or guidance, you know, godfather type capacity or something to give his
• 1:37:10
  voice some direction, or maybe try to plead to his son solo just to
• 1:37:14
  you know, catch a spike to the throat, keise you to come back.
• 1:37:18
  As a conciliary. Marlon Brando was to Michael and I thought I was
• 1:37:24
  out, they pulled me back in with spam. Yeah that's about it.
• 1:37:29
  But yeah, um well, here's the thing. Um, let's not discount
• 1:37:34
  I mean, and somebody said it, Uzo is maybe the greatest tag team
• 1:37:38
  of all time. Let's not discount how fucking great they both are. Uh
• 1:37:43
  right, And and you know, one of them said it in a promo
• 1:37:46
  like now they know us. You know, I didn't used to know the
• 1:37:49
  difference between Jay and Jimmy, but now I do. Uh. And you
• 1:37:54
  can't. I mean, I know there's these these rumors about, oh,
• 1:37:57
  Romans just gonna replenish the bloodline with all these other some o ones that are
• 1:38:01
  out there, and that's all well and good, but they're not the Uzzos,
• 1:38:05
  you know what I mean. Tried this with Roman before. What was
• 1:38:10
  the what were the authors of Pain or whatever? Right? Uh? And
• 1:38:14
  it sucked. It sucked. You know. Part of the reason the blood
• 1:38:17
  Line works is because the Uzzos are so fucking good. Uh. And maybe
• 1:38:24
  you can plug and play somebody. I don't know, but looks O forget
• 1:38:29
  how fucking amazing the Uzos are and just how much, how big a part
• 1:38:34
  they've been in the success of all of this. You know, they're not
• 1:38:38
  just bit players here, you know, they're there. Yeah, they got
• 1:38:42
  their name on the posted too, you know. Yeah, yeah, you're
• 1:38:45
  on correct, and that like, the blood Line does not go on this
• 1:38:48
  run that they've gone on without the usos. They were the workhorses out there
• 1:38:54
  doing it for the blood Line while Roman was popping in every other month.
• 1:38:58
  So yeah, you're one hundred percent right that, you know, they were
• 1:39:00
  the engine that made this Bloodline thing run for all these years without question.
• 1:39:08
  That being said that, I think that's what worked as far as keeping the
• 1:39:13
  blood Line on top of everyone else in WWE once you get into this Civil
• 1:39:17
  War thing that they're doing, especially if, like I said, if this
• 1:39:20
  is just if Civil War is like the next chapter in this long Bloodline storyline,
• 1:39:27
  because honestly, at the rate they're going, it seems like Bloodline about
• 1:39:30
  to be the one piece of WWE that just goes on forever. But if
• 1:39:34
  this is like the next chapter and this Civil War thing goes on for again
• 1:39:40
  months on end, then yeah, it can't just be these four going at
• 1:39:44
  it. There's got to be some new faces who can come in and as
• 1:39:48
  long as it's within the Bloodline that's happening, then there is opportunity for another
• 1:39:55
  tag team to come in and they don't have to worry about, you know,
• 1:39:59
  trying to be above everybody else in the WW because their conflict is internal.
• 1:40:02
  Their few would be mostly with the USOS and whoever the USOS may call
• 1:40:08
  in possibly to their side, and that other tag team can get over by
• 1:40:14
  being by just by virtual being involved in the Bloodline storyline. And they could
• 1:40:18
  also just have them whoop up on some other tag team occasionally that may decide
• 1:40:23
  they want to peek their head into Bloodline business and then they could just get
• 1:40:27
  stumped out by the new tag team to like, my backup does don't concern
• 1:40:30
  you? So you know, there there is room for another tag team to
• 1:40:34
  come in and not necessarily replace the USOS, but just be another piece on
• 1:40:39
  the proverbial chess table. I'm really excited for this match now and to see
• 1:40:47
  how it all pans out after this, you know, I mean they're planning
• 1:40:53
  such a big Yeah, I'm hoping this one kind of made events. Actually,
• 1:40:58
  yeah, I think it absolutely is gonna be like whatever listing you're reading
• 1:41:02
  from I think it is just a listing of the matches. But yeah,
• 1:41:05
  obviously that's not going to be the order of it. I mean, we
• 1:41:08
  haven't even talked about the Intercontinental title matched yet that's on the show. We
• 1:41:11
  haven't even talked about that awesome women's segue into that. I couldn't even get
• 1:41:17
  that out when I'm laughughened Rodda Rousey and Shanna Basler the tag team champs undisputed
• 1:41:26
  tag team champs. Let me rephrase that versus returning live Morien and Raquel Rodriguez
• 1:41:32
  Um. Recently, Rodna and Shana acquired the n XT women's tag titles.
• 1:41:42
  Uh, And I guess that that's it. Like they're just defunct now,
• 1:41:46
  like they're just gone, like real, they're vacant. I don't know if
• 1:41:49
  they go back to NXT. I don't I don't know what happens with them.
• 1:41:53
  I think they've I think they've just been integrated into a single, a
• 1:41:56
  singular tag team championship at least fandom on all three brands, SmackDown Raw in
• 1:42:03
  NXT. Yeah, I think that's Yeah, they better show up on NXT
• 1:42:09
  then, Like you know, Bailey and Sasha Banks used to do that show
• 1:42:13
  up on NXC. It was exciting, so let's hopefully we see that.
• 1:42:17
  It may be weird to see Ronda and NXT, but you know, that's
• 1:42:21
  where Shana dominated was an NXT. That mean, you know, before she
• 1:42:26
  got brought to the main roster and then kind of watered down. I mean,
• 1:42:30
  she was dominating an XT for quite some time as champion, so it's
• 1:42:35
  nice to see it would be nice to see her back there. And it's
• 1:42:39
  nice to see Live Morga back. I didn't think she was gonna be back
• 1:42:42
  so soon. Um, you know, and now they get a title shot
• 1:42:45
  against the title for the titles that they lost, um, not necessarily to
• 1:42:50
  Ronda and Shana just had to you know, give them up. Uh,
• 1:42:56
  you know, poor Raquel had to give up her title and now she has
• 1:42:59
  a for him back. You know, didn't even let her pick another tag
• 1:43:04
  team partner. I mean this one for me, I think they're going to
• 1:43:12
  continue with Ronda and Shana as champions. I don't think, you know,
• 1:43:15
  Live and Raquel are gonna get them back anytime soon, because I think in
• 1:43:18
  the long run, I think that was the initial plan was to put them
• 1:43:23
  on. Ronda and Shana and you know, just beating the ANNEXC Women's champions.
• 1:43:28
  I think it's said. I think they're gonna hold on to them for
• 1:43:33
  a little bit longer. Drey, what do you think? Do you think
• 1:43:39
  they're gonna lose these titles anytime soon? Unfortunately No. As much as I
• 1:43:45
  want to Live In Raquel to win the belts back and at least be champions,
• 1:43:53
  that we can get decent matches out of entitled defenses, I just don't
• 1:44:00
  think that's the direction w W wants to go. I think they want the
• 1:44:03
  star power of Ronda Rousy and to a lesser extent, Shanna Basler as the
• 1:44:09
  dominant heel tag team beaten up on whoever they decided to slap together and put
• 1:44:15
  against them in a random week, and that's just pretty much gonna be for
• 1:44:24
  the most part. Like I don't, I don't think there's much drama to
• 1:44:27
  this match or much really much intrigue. I would again, I would love
• 1:44:31
  if Live with Raquel won the belts, but I just I don't think it's
• 1:44:34
  gonna happen. It's gonna be a standard, fair match. Shana Beaseler is
• 1:44:38
  probably gonna do most of the work in the match, and then Rondo will
• 1:44:42
  pop in at some point and slap an armbar on one of them and get
• 1:44:45
  a pen or get a submission. H yeah, uh Doyle, what are
• 1:44:54
  you thinking? Well, I've got some crow to eat U. You know,
• 1:44:59
  just just a few weeks ago, on this very program here, I
• 1:45:02
  postulated that the women's tag team division was finally gearing up to get their act
• 1:45:08
  together. And boy was I wrong. You spoke too soon. Yeah,
• 1:45:14
  in my defense, almost immediately Live in Dakota Kai both got injured and they
• 1:45:18
  were big parts of my revitalization plan. Uh yeah, I Live is back
• 1:45:24
  here. I had a schedule. But I have to ask why this is
• 1:45:30
  unbelievably bad booking. If you're going to unify the NXT and the main roster
• 1:45:36
  titles, which I think is a wonderful idea by the way, and you
• 1:45:41
  have a pay per view in two weeks, and that pay per view was
• 1:45:44
  in the UK, and your NXC tag champions one of their names Isla Don
• 1:45:49
  and Alba fire right, yeah they're from the UK. Like, why in
• 1:45:55
  the hell wouldn't you unify the titles at the pay per view? Why not
• 1:46:00
  making a big deal if you're trying to make these titles a big deal and
• 1:46:04
  why not have return after that match if you want to make it a big
• 1:46:10
  moments like, shut up with your good ideas. It's just fucking awful,
• 1:46:19
  awful button. Yeah, NXT girls could have gon in as huge faces in
• 1:46:25
  that match, even if they're not meant to be faces. They would have
• 1:46:27
  been over as hell. That would have helped you get huge. He'll heat
• 1:46:30
  on Shana and Ronda, as if they don't already have enough, but at
• 1:46:34
  least it'd be invested. He'll heat and not just go away. He'll heat.
• 1:46:39
  Yeah. Yeah, And you're and you're doing this too much title unification
• 1:46:42
  on pay per view and it's a big deal, right exactly, And and
• 1:46:45
  you're making these new girls from NXT looks stupid because, uh, the Franken
• 1:46:50
  team of Raquel Rodriguez and Live Morgan is way more important than they are.
• 1:46:57
  Uh you just I feel like just doing this match two weeks later accomplishes so
• 1:47:03
  many things, and doing it the way they did it fucked up so many
• 1:47:08
  things. It's just like, what the It's mind bogglingly bad. But yeah,
• 1:47:14
  I think Rhonda and bays their win. I think they will eventually feud
• 1:47:18
  with each other, the sooner the better because I'm so sick of them.
• 1:47:27
  I like Shana, but god, damn, what do I not like Rhonda
• 1:47:30
  that much? So yeah, I think the Champter ten oh h m hmm,
• 1:47:40
  Carlos, Yeah, putting it down for another sweep. Shana and Rhonda
• 1:47:45
  win just because this booking right now for Raquel and lived to win does not
• 1:47:55
  make any sense at all. And you can't take the belts off of them
• 1:47:59
  because you thought Lid was gonna be out longer and then she's back and you're
• 1:48:04
  like, Okay, well let's put the boats back on her. No,
• 1:48:08
  so it's done, deeal Shana, Ronda, Let's just move on to the
• 1:48:14
  next match. Gunter and Matt Riddle. Yeah, that's a shame too,
• 1:48:20
  because Ronda as a person, it seems very likable as a person, but
• 1:48:26
  damn, she just just the end ring performance just is not there. Yeah,
• 1:48:33
  and it also doesn't show any signs of improvement or like she's really worked
• 1:48:38
  at it to try to get better. It's like she's just like, I'm
• 1:48:41
  here, I'm good enough. And because she's being booked so strong, she
• 1:48:45
  doesn't have any real incentive to try to improve and get better, so that
• 1:48:49
  way she could work her way up a card. That's the problem when you
• 1:48:53
  put somebody immediately at the top. I think a manager would do that in
• 1:48:57
  the world. Are good well, SHANEA and Ronne you pair them with like
• 1:49:02
  right now, there's not that many women managers or male managers besides Paul Hayman
• 1:49:11
  that are out there talking. Yeah, so true. Yeah, I don't
• 1:49:15
  have a suggestion of you know, I can't think of anybody who would be
• 1:49:19
  a strong mouthpiece for them, because you would think it would have to be
• 1:49:24
  somebody like kind of sort of m uh MMA connected. But most of the
• 1:49:30
  other people they have in the on the roster that a MMA connected are like
• 1:49:33
  in developmental territory and such. So yeah, there really isn't somebody who that's
• 1:49:40
  retired that could could talk. Well, I don't know, they're supposed to
• 1:49:45
  be talking to Amanda Nunas now that she retired, But Amanda nuns need to
• 1:49:54
  stay right where she yet stay retired, don't don't. I don't need to
• 1:50:00
  come up and here in the w W and mess around with none of this.
• 1:50:03
  I'm sure they would look, you know, Vincent endeavoring them would love
• 1:50:08
  for Amanda New Year's to jump to w W and do it. But now
• 1:50:13
  no, they retired, Amanda, unless your Mike skills is off the chain
• 1:50:17
  and you want to come in here and be the manager. Yeah, very
• 1:50:21
  true. All right, Well, the quote unquote main event that they had
• 1:50:28
  listed here, I'm reading this off of Wikipedia, by the way. Uh
• 1:50:31
  so I think Wikipedia just listed those matches in the order that they were announced
• 1:50:42
  exactly, because not the actual card inc title was very last minute. Uh
• 1:50:49
  you know this week? Yeah? Yeah, really, I think if we're
• 1:50:55
  gonna get any big returns, uh you know, there's a lot of rumors
• 1:51:00
  spent around that Orton is ready to come back. I you know, I
• 1:51:04
  don't see Riddle being another guy to be another guy who most likely would be
• 1:51:12
  Gunther. I see him taking a lot of chops to the chest. I
• 1:51:15
  see him getting his ass beat, and I see Guther walking out as the
• 1:51:20
  Intercontinental Champion again. Uh yeah, this could even be like the first match
• 1:51:26
  of the night. You know, I could see this being the first match.
• 1:51:30
  Um. You know, you know, talking briefly on Orton, if
• 1:51:34
  he does come back, I would like, you know, it sounds like
• 1:51:38
  Orton is kind of winding down his career especially after this recent injury. It
• 1:51:43
  would be really cool to see, um, you know, maybe Riddle turn
• 1:51:46
  heel on Orton because everybody suspects, you know, Orton to turn heel.
• 1:51:51
  It would be nice to see Riddle instead. Uh you know, honest,
• 1:52:00
  I don't know where Gunther goes from here. You know, I guess Riddle
• 1:52:02
  was just another person for him to get to get fed to him. We
• 1:52:06
  did go through the roster a couple of times to see who else you know,
• 1:52:11
  Guinther could could take out I mean, returning Rainy Orton could be a
• 1:52:16
  good match. But as far as I'm concerned, Guther is gonna walk out
• 1:52:21
  in a corneal champion. The rain is going to continue. Drey. Yeah,
• 1:52:30
  Um, as Ginther broken Honky tonk Man's record yet, uh no,
• 1:52:39
  he is seventy one days away, then there's no chance in hell of Matt
• 1:52:43
  Riddle winning this fucking match, because I think it's pretty much guaranteed that Ginther
• 1:52:47
  is going to break the Honky talk Man's record. That being said, I
• 1:52:53
  don't think necessarily that Riddle's going to get his ass kicked. I'm not gonna
• 1:52:58
  go that far with it, um, because I did not know this until
• 1:53:08
  literally just like today, yesterday. But Riddle and Guilt have some history with
• 1:53:15
  each other outside of WWE. They've actually wrestled quite enough. Yeah, quite
• 1:53:19
  a number of times. And uh, I'm trying to find the name of
• 1:53:24
  the promotion now I can't. I think it's maybe as some New York based
• 1:53:28
  promotion progress something, right, right, right, all right? Yeah,
• 1:53:40
  All I'm saying is that these guys have wrestled before, so they have history,
• 1:53:43
  so they have some chemistry, which means the potential is there for them
• 1:53:45
  to put on a pretty damn good match if they are you know, uh
• 1:53:54
  tied, if their hands are tied by WWE. And in terms of you
• 1:53:59
  know, how much time they're given to work in this match, which I
• 1:54:02
  imagine they probably will be limited to a certain extent, I'm not I don't
• 1:54:05
  think they're gonna get like a thirty minutes to work. But if they're given
• 1:54:11
  a good solid, you know, fifteen, ten to fifteen minutes, at
• 1:54:15
  least more towards fifteen, I think they can put on a really good match
• 1:54:19
  because they got history, they have familiarity. This could be a this could
• 1:54:24
  be a sleeper match, This could be one of the better matches of the
• 1:54:28
  night. But obviously Gother is gonna fucking win and hold onto the belt whether
• 1:54:35
  ready Orton shows up, I don't think so because it obviously, you know,
• 1:54:44
  I don't think uh, Gother's gone a pretty good job of kind of
• 1:54:48
  not relying on too much interference to win his matches. He kind of gets
• 1:54:56
  fairly clean at the end. A clean wins when it's all said and done.
• 1:55:00
  There's some shenanigans take place throughout the match, at some point, he
• 1:55:02
  still kind of finishes off his matches pretty cleanly. So I don't think we're
• 1:55:10
  gonna get a Randy Orton return or anything of that nature in this match.
• 1:55:13
  I think it's just going to be a one on one and one on one.
• 1:55:16
  It's gonna be a good match, and Gunther is just going to win.
• 1:55:24
  Doyle. Yeah, I mean, this definitely should be a fun match.
• 1:55:29
  You know, they say styles make fights, right, and I think
• 1:55:32
  these are two styles that are gonna go pretty well together. I didn't realize
• 1:55:38
  they had that history. I don't know if that pretends to anything, but
• 1:55:44
  it can't hurt for sure. But I mean, Gunther's fucking awesome and Riddle
• 1:55:50
  can be awesome when he wants to be. But yeah, gun Gunther Gunther
• 1:55:56
  wins when he finally loses. And yeah, they've they've painted themselves into a
• 1:56:01
  corner a little bit with him. It's gonna have to be huge, right,
• 1:56:06
  Um, I said, seventy one days away from hockey dog Man.
• 1:56:12
  Honkey's at uh four or fifty three? Gunth's coming in at three eighty two,
• 1:56:16
  so a little over two months to catch Honkey tonk Man. I expect
• 1:56:23
  that that's gonna happen. Um, But they're running out of people, you
• 1:56:28
  know, like, which is why I think a cash in Mike could work.
• 1:56:31
  Uh, because it's gonna take some fucking herculean effort effort to beat him
• 1:56:39
  at this point. Uh So yeah, I think Gunthan wins. I don't
• 1:56:43
  you know, I really liked riddle Um before his suspension, but since he's
• 1:56:48
  come back, I just kind of haven't been into him. I think he's
• 1:56:53
  kind of annoying. I think he's a little too close to naked from my
• 1:56:58
  tastes. Uh somebody who somebody just said he'll turn onto him? Uh,
• 1:57:04
  you're Wayne, I can't remember which one. I think that would be spectacular,
• 1:57:10
  Actually, that could be really good. Maybe dump the bro shit,
• 1:57:15
  uh and just going to like stone cold killer mode. I think he could
• 1:57:18
  do that. Perhaps he needs to shake something out, he needs a change.
• 1:57:24
  I've seen her read some some way shape or form. Uh. But
• 1:57:30
  yeah, I don't. I don't expect Gunther to lose the championship here not
• 1:57:33
  not here, not now. Carlos, Yeah, it's just gonna lose the
• 1:57:40
  championship. No, Gunter is not gonna lose the championship. Um. Pretty
• 1:57:45
  much everyone seems to be on the Matt Riddle needs a change or something van
• 1:57:55
  wagon that I started last week in the discord. Well, I was wrong
• 1:58:01
  saying that he was going to be off TV for a little bit, but
• 1:58:05
  I did say he needed to do a little bit of rework or his gimmick.
• 1:58:10
  And it looks like everyone here agrees with me. So could it be
• 1:58:17
  that maybe we do get a cameo or a little bit of interference from Randy
• 1:58:26
  on this show. Possibly, And I'm not sure. I thought i'd read
• 1:58:31
  somewhere headlined that said that he had just had his surgery, if not last
• 1:58:36
  week, a couple of weeks ago, and they're just seeing how it goes.
• 1:58:42
  So I don't think he'll come out and do anything physically. Maybe he'll
• 1:58:48
  record something and they'll played on the Titan Tron or you know, something along
• 1:58:56
  those lines where it's like he doesn't have to be there, but the ghost
• 1:59:00
  of Randy has to be there to throw Riddle off or kind of get them
• 1:59:05
  excited. And then that's when Gunter or maybe who's with them right now,
• 1:59:12
  kaiser, oh, some type of in apparence, and then that's what that
• 1:59:18
  little bit of a distraction, just like I said earlier, causes Riddle to
• 1:59:24
  slip up, and that's how Gunter takes advantage. Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:59:30
  kept looking it up. And they have history going back to a like I
• 1:59:33
  said before, a promotion called Progress Wrestling, which apparently is a independent wrestling
• 1:59:40
  promotion and Great Britain and the Over in the UK, So they have history
• 1:59:45
  going back there, and apparently they've they wrestled or had a feud over the
• 1:59:50
  Progress Wrestling Atlas Championship, which I believe is apparently their mid card title.
• 1:59:57
  I guess they're equivalent of a US type, the orient A Continental Championship.
• 2:00:01
  So yeah, so they wrestled a few times. You're thinking of Walter,
• 2:00:06
  Yeah, yeah, totally different guy, right, Long lost Twine guy,
• 2:00:19
  gosh, uh holy craft. Well this card, I don't know. I'm
• 2:00:28
  pretty I'm pretty excited. But you know, the two money in the Bank
• 2:00:31
  matches, I'm excited to see a really good match between Seth Rollinson Finn Balor.
• 2:00:35
  I'm excited to see the outcome of the civil War matches. How many
• 2:00:43
  was it? Seven? So you might get one on Friday? Yeah,
• 2:00:47
  oh we should you know now that on the subject of that, we should
• 2:00:50
  probably make the prediction on that because I mean, it's not part of the
• 2:00:55
  pay per view, but this SmackDown Friday is taking place from the UK and
• 2:01:00
  it has a pretty big match that, for my money, should probably replace
• 2:01:05
  the damn tag team match on the show if they really wanted to, you
• 2:01:09
  know, make this a fully maxed out card. And we got Oscar taken
• 2:01:13
  on Yo, girl, Wayne, you know that might be the last match
• 2:01:20
  they add to the card. No, it's already a triple threat because Bianca
• 2:01:25
  gets involved and doesn't they've already they've they've said it for weeks now that match
• 2:01:29
  is happening on SmackDown. No, he could still happen interfering and they're gonna
• 2:01:35
  have a triple threat. Yeah, because Bianca's tired of waiting and getting set
• 2:01:40
  aside for Charlotte, so she goes in there. They still have the match
• 2:01:44
  technically, but it doesn't have to be completed. I don't think they're gonna
• 2:01:48
  do that. I don't think they're gonna pump fake on that show because I
• 2:01:51
  mean, because I said, the show's taking place in the in the UK,
• 2:01:55
  so they still got to put on a good show. I don't see
• 2:01:58
  them, and you know, they still got the crowd there for that night.
• 2:02:00
  I don't I don't see them having that match, pump faking it and
• 2:02:04
  then pushing it into the next night on the pay per view. College is
• 2:02:08
  subject to change, sir, I know that's the thing. But I think,
• 2:02:15
  obviously I think Bianca's gonna play a role in the match some one way
• 2:02:18
  or there another. Well, I take it back, obviously, I don't
• 2:02:23
  think Bianca's going to interfere in the match. I think it's just gonna be
• 2:02:26
  on one on one match and I'm gonna predict that. Well. I'm rooting
• 2:02:32
  for Oscar hard yeah, and I think, for what for my money,
• 2:02:40
  I think Oscar should win the match as well. And then I think going
• 2:02:45
  into SummerSlam, we should get a triple threat match between Charlotte Bianca and Oscar.
• 2:02:53
  That's what I think should happen, so because I don't think it doesn't
• 2:02:59
  one, I don't. I don't think they're gonna shot on Oscar like that
• 2:03:00
  again by having her win the title and then immediately drop it again shortly thereafter,
• 2:03:05
  like they did her first title run. I don't think they're gonna do
• 2:03:09
  that. I don't think Charlotte is back is to be a transitional champion to
• 2:03:14
  put the title back on Bianca again after she just lost it. So I
• 2:03:16
  don't think that's gonna happen. I hope they don't. Fucking I don't think
• 2:03:23
  they've brought Charlotte back just immediately make her a champion again like they did earlier
• 2:03:27
  this year where she snatched the belt off Ronda, just to be the transitional
• 2:03:30
  champion to get it on the Riha ripley at WrestleMania. So I think Oscar
• 2:03:36
  wins and retains the title somehow. Maybe Bianca does call Charlotte the match,
• 2:03:43
  which leads to them feuding and to the triple threat match, but I think
• 2:03:46
  Oscar wins, wins the title, defends her title successfully. This Friday on
• 2:03:53
  SmackDown. Yeah, as I've said before, you gotta pump the brakes on
• 2:03:57
  giving Charlotte championships. Otherwise she's gonna end up with forty seven, right you
• 2:04:02
  know, like it's just gonna be some ridiculous number, uh, which means
• 2:04:08
  that eventually they're gonna have to give somebody else forty eight, you know,
• 2:04:12
  like uh uh so yeah, they're gonna pump the brakes on Charlotte a little
• 2:04:16
  bit. She can't win every match. She's like fourteen right now. That's
• 2:04:21
  what I'm saying, a new time. If you keep winning four titles a
• 2:04:27
  year every year for the next time, I don't know, five years,
• 2:04:30
  that's twenty more. Yeah, she's a lot of time left in her career.
• 2:04:36
  So that's what I'm saying. Holy shit, Like Rick did say he
• 2:04:41
  wanted her to pass his sixteen times. So yeah, but she's gonna have
• 2:04:48
  twenty eight, like it's gonna be ridiculous. Um yeah. Well, anyway,
• 2:04:56
  like this is one of the longer cards we've had in a while.
• 2:05:00
  Uh, a lot of them. I feel like the last couple have been
• 2:05:02
  five six matches, you know this, What have we got seven? Maybe
• 2:05:06
  eight? It's a pretty strong card too, aside from the women's tag match.
• 2:05:11
  Right, we don't even have the men's tag team titles on the line
• 2:05:15
  here either. No, Oh, you know what I wanted to talk about,
• 2:05:18
  alternate multiverse match bank match, Like all the people that aren't in the
• 2:05:25
  money in the bank match is also kind of weird, right, Like I
• 2:05:28
  could have seen the world where you had Uzo's, you had um um Ko
• 2:05:35
  and Sammy, you had Dominic, Like I imagine Dominic with the briefcase like
• 2:05:42
  that would have been. That would have been great. Like there's a lot
• 2:05:45
  of I thought a lot of people that would be in this match were just
• 2:05:48
  not even anywhere near it. If Tom can get over not being able to
• 2:05:56
  talk over or not letting the crowd get to him because he can't get any
• 2:06:02
  of his any of his promos out because the crowd's always over there booing the
• 2:06:08
  heck out of him. If he can finally find a way to try to
• 2:06:13
  talk through it or get his lines out, it will probably help him get
• 2:06:19
  some more confidence going out there, because that I think that's one of the
• 2:06:25
  things that he hasn't learned is the crowd control, and he needs to learn
• 2:06:29
  that because he's got the heat. He's got way too much heat that he
• 2:06:34
  doesn't know how to handle. Yeah, I'm sure if he was able to
• 2:06:39
  handle, they'd be putting them in the money in the bank title match or
• 2:06:43
  you know, the briefcase match. Yeah, that's a good point. He
• 2:06:46
  has probably more heat than anybody on the roster. At the same time,
• 2:06:53
  I also think crowds need to calm the fuck down because at this point it's
• 2:07:00
  almost become like a the heat he has is almost become like a game with
• 2:07:03
  the audience. Now, like how Seth Rollins comes out and they just have
• 2:07:08
  to do the chant non stop for as long as possible, and it was
• 2:07:14
  got so ridiculous that they just you know, damn there couldn't the promo that
• 2:07:18
  him and Seth, I mean that Seth and Finn had in the ring almost
• 2:07:21
  couldn't happen because the crowd wouldn't shut the fuck up. And fortunately, you
• 2:07:26
  know, a guy like Seth's so it's so masterful with the mike that he
• 2:07:30
  was able to regain control of that situation so that they could get their little
• 2:07:34
  promo off. And yeah, Dom doesn't have that ability yet to take control
• 2:07:42
  and of of a crowd like that he just but Dom does have the u
• 2:07:47
  rampant up ability that were like, he's got some of the little things like
• 2:07:51
  the really slow, deliberate bring bringing the microphone up to his face and right
• 2:07:57
  right, yes he has he has the presidence and you can tell he kind
• 2:08:00
  of has that that feeling he's getting there. What the point I was getting
• 2:08:05
  that was that hopefully if he has a good match with Cody, that can
• 2:08:09
  get anough, that can garner some respect from the audience that they won't boo
• 2:08:15
  him as much. They'll still boo him, but at least they'll kind of
• 2:08:18
  maybe shut the hell up a little bit and let him actually talk on the
• 2:08:24
  mic, because at this point, I don't even know if they're even giving
• 2:08:26
  him anything to actually say on the mic. They're just like I just act
• 2:08:31
  like you're about to say something. They're just gonna booth the living shit then
• 2:08:33
  one of y'all take over, Like he might not even be going out there
• 2:08:35
  with any kind of real script to actually work with because the crowd is so
• 2:08:41
  so invested in just booing the living shit out of him. Like I said,
• 2:08:43
  it's almost like a game to them now to like, let's actually try
• 2:08:48
  to prevent him from talking, So he's got to do something to break through
• 2:08:50
  that, and I don't know if he's gonna be able to do it on
• 2:08:52
  the mic. So if he can't do it on the mic, he's got
• 2:08:56
  to do it in the ring, right, So hopefully this match with Cody
• 2:09:00
  can be that to sort of kind of break the ice with the audience to
• 2:09:03
  where they can actually let him talk, because again, like I said,
• 2:09:07
  these crowds kind of be getting a little bit out of handle recently on TV
• 2:09:13
  too. He just needs to wrest some more period too. Yeah, then
• 2:09:20
  he gets put on a match with uh, he gets put it right on
• 2:09:26
  the car then you know, with Cody Rhodes at all people of all fucking
• 2:09:31
  people. Well, yeah, I know, right, nothing right now.
• 2:09:39
  I think after this pay per view, we're gonna be getting the Summer Slam
• 2:09:43
  Well NXT, Great American Bash, and then Summer Slam. Summer NXT gives
• 2:09:50
  me something a wild child, go ahead and make sure right put then on
• 2:09:52
  my calendar. If not, I'm gonna go ahead and watch the new Japan
• 2:09:56
  Gee one Tournament. I was tempted to turn on to NXT when Seth Rawns
• 2:10:03
  was on the other week, but then I was like, well, that
• 2:10:05
  ain't Seth title against Broun Breaker. Honestly, I do such an argument with
• 2:10:11
  people over that, over that match, not in terms of who would win
• 2:10:16
  back and forth, but why they put it on NXT right It to me,
• 2:10:22
  it made so much It would have made so much more sense to put
• 2:10:24
  that match on Raw instead of NXT, because one, it's the Raw I
• 2:10:31
  mean, I granted, yes, the World Heavway Title is not technically a
• 2:10:35
  Raw exclusive belt, although it kind of sort of is. And if you're
• 2:10:41
  the champion and the guy's challenging you, he should come to you exactly the
• 2:10:48
  challenge. You shouldn't be having to go down to where he's a even if
• 2:10:50
  you are the fighting champion, you can fight on your own damn show.
• 2:10:54
  The challenger comes to the champion to fight. And if you want to get
• 2:10:58
  braun Breaker some exposure and get him seeing some bore people for his eventual call
• 2:11:05
  up, you're gonna get more eyes if you see him on Raw. Then
• 2:11:09
  by then, from whatever little bump you're gonna get in ratings from Seth Rollins
• 2:11:13
  coming down to NXC, which admittedly they did get a considerable bump to the
• 2:11:18
  show or they got like damn near a million viewers at night, like nine
• 2:11:22
  undre something thousand viewers for that match. So it did get a bump,
• 2:11:26
  but that bump is still not on the level of what a regular RAW does.
• 2:11:31
  Yeah, so he still didn't get as many eyes as you could have
• 2:11:35
  gotten head you put it on Raw. But again, that was just argument
• 2:11:39
  I was having with people online, and you're telling me Mustafa Ali and Baron
• 2:11:45
  Corbyn aren't bumping those numbers. You know what, though, when I saw
• 2:11:50
  that he was going to challenge him for the world title, I was like,
• 2:11:56
  calm down, hold on their rookie, Like, you're not even on
• 2:12:00
  the main roster and you're gonna challenge the world everyweight check, you're gonna jump
• 2:12:03
  ahead of everybody else. I was like, calm down. I yeah,
• 2:12:09
  I was. I'm just curious to know why, Like he hasn't been called
• 2:12:13
  up to the main roster. I guess they need. You know, it
• 2:12:16
  was weird because he was like the the one guy I thought out of anybody
• 2:12:20
  on that roster that was gonna get called up, and he was the one
• 2:12:24
  guy they'd left behind. I was on an impression that it was because he
• 2:12:28
  turned heel and they wanted his heel character to cook a little longer. Yeah
• 2:12:33
  yeah, and I totally get that. And it's and it's working, you
• 2:12:37
  know, for now, it's working. I mean, hell, he could
• 2:12:41
  debut on the main roster before you know, WrestleMania even you know, he's
• 2:12:46
  still got some time, but he's cooking. Uh, Doyle. You recently
• 2:12:56
  we first we posted our first blog on our website. Sit. Um,
• 2:13:01
  do you want to give a brief description of what that was? About that
• 2:13:03
  rant you gave? Well, I kind of got into a little bit earlier,
• 2:13:11
  but um, yeah, Roman reigns hasn't defended the uh what are we
• 2:13:16
  calling it now? The undisputed Yeah, undisputed WWE Universal Championship if he if
• 2:13:30
  he if he doesn't defend it again until SummerSlam. He hasn't defended it since
• 2:13:33
  Wrestleman. Yea, it's one hundred and twenty five days, uh, four
• 2:13:37
  months. Uh you know, and it's just it's just it's just silly to
• 2:13:43
  have the you know, most important prize in professional wrestling never defended. Um.
• 2:13:52
  It accounts for twelve percent almost of his total reign and he's never defending
• 2:13:58
  this belt. Let me just makes it a little a little uh, a
• 2:14:01
  little less impressive, I think. And you know this bloodline thing. You
• 2:14:05
  know, how long have we spend speculating on the next you know what the
• 2:14:09
  next chapter is going to be? Uh, it's it's one of the greatest
• 2:14:13
  stories you've ever told. Um, But how much better could it be if
• 2:14:18
  the centerpiece of it and what the whole fucking sport quote unquote it's supposed to
• 2:14:22
  be about, is this world championship. How much better it would be if
• 2:14:28
  we saw defended a little more often? H Yeah. And if anybody else
• 2:14:35
  one of our listeners want to put something on the blog, just reach out
• 2:14:39
  to me, let me know, I'll post it. You know, you

• 2:16:11
  your wrestling thoughts. Hear me go off on a weird tangent about how Matt
• 2:16:16
  Riddle needs to get more work, or how how Roman reigns are still and
• 2:16:26
  whatever else I've been wrong about this year. Come out and call me out.
• 2:16:31
  I'm willing to walk on a limb and make crazy predictions to make you
• 2:16:35
  mad and to bring in the clicks. All right, Uh, you know
• 2:16:41
  what, before we go, Carlos, do you have anything more to plug?
• 2:16:46
  Yes, leading into bringing in the clicks. I need you all to
• 2:16:52
  come out or log on and I am going to start my own spinoff.
• 2:17:03
  I guess you can call it podcast slash live stream. Like maybe two or
• 2:17:09
  three months ago, my wife I took her to a live event. We
• 2:17:13
  want to go see some indie promotion called Warrior Wrestling, and she had never
• 2:17:20
  been to like a small indie one, and it kind of like, I
• 2:17:26
  guess, gave her a little spark, and she's like, why don't we
• 2:17:30
  come out to these things more often? And I go, well, I've
• 2:17:33
  watched WrestleMania, and I watch all these other things around here, and then
• 2:17:35
  you always end up bailing like halfway through or like into the first ten fifteen
• 2:17:41
  minute matches. And then that just one conversation led to another, and then
• 2:17:46
  I'm like, have you even watched the first WrestleMania And she's like no,
• 2:17:52
  So her and I have decided to take a revisit, which we're calling it
• 2:17:58
  revisiting May. So we're going to revisit and rewatch all the WrestleMania's leaning up
• 2:18:07
  to us actually attending WrestleMania forty this year to me all you pop wrestling fans,
• 2:18:18
  podcast, Championship Wrestling fans, people in the discord, whoever's out there
• 2:18:22
  when we go out for WrestleMania forty. So we're hoping to live stream and
• 2:18:28
  post a podcast. We're shooting for once a week and maybe like an hour
• 2:18:33
  or maybe a little bit over, just because I don't want to bore her
• 2:18:39
  or get her to feel too strenuous about having the actually breakdown a meltzer rating,
• 2:18:48
  which we're not going to actually try to do, but yeah, come
• 2:18:52
  on out. We're hoping to launch the weekend of July fourteenth, fifteen,
• 2:18:58

• 2:20:11
  beyond Uh Doyle, you got anything you want to plug? Oh? Now
• 2:20:20
  you know, I'm just around the discord of the PCW and the PCL discord
• 2:20:26
  and Facebook page. Well, I do want to say the last couple episodes,
• 2:20:31
  I've told my buddy Nick to get well, and I would like to
• 2:20:35
  say that I don't even do that anymore because he is out of the hospital.
• 2:20:39
  He's not quite out of the woods, but he's out of the hospital.
• 2:20:43
  Awesome, it was great news. Good job Nick, and kicked out,
• 2:20:48
  kicked out. I love it, kicked out at two point nine,
• 2:20:52
  but he kicked out. Uh, Drey, you got anything to plug?
• 2:21:00

• 2:21:13
  so feel free to hop on in joining the conversation. Cool. Uh.
• 2:21:18
  The only thing I got to plug is it's a little it's a little outdated
• 2:21:22
  now by like a week or a few weeks. But I was on Anatomy
• 2:21:28
  dissecting this fiction podcast. We were talking about the Transformers, Rise to the
• 2:21:33
  Beast, and then I was also on Scenic Cast and we talked about Transformers,
• 2:21:39
  Rise of the Beasts, Indiana Jones, the Temple of Doom, and
• 2:21:43
  the movie Clock. So if you're interested in any of those, give it
• 2:21:48
  a listen. Uh, Indiana Jones, Oh yeah, yeah, that in
• 2:21:54
  the theater too, weird little I was like five, we're a little nugget
• 2:22:01
  about the Indiana Jones and the Timple of the Doom that I happened to learn
• 2:22:03
  today that that movie helped lead us What helped that movie led to us getting
• 2:22:11
  the PG thirteen rating? Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I remember
• 2:22:18
  hearing about that. Yep, that movie and Gremlins. I thought you were
• 2:22:22
  going to say that's where Steven Spielberg met his second wife. No, Steven
• 2:22:26
  Spielberg. Steven Spielberg did was the person who originally suggested the PG thirteen rating,
• 2:22:31
  although he thought for some reason like eleven was the age, but eventually
• 2:22:37
  it came out to be PG thirteen and announced and uh back in nineteen eighty
• 2:22:41
  four, Yeah, I think, I think I yeah, I think I
• 2:22:45
  was like five. We went to see that as a family whatever, and
• 2:22:48
  there's hearts getting ripped down and fum. Yeah. Prior to that, the
• 2:22:56
  PG thirteen rating did not exist, and it was just G, GP,
• 2:23:01
  R and X. It makes me want to think what Jaws was then.
• 2:23:05
  I thought that would have been AGA was just PGMO Yeah thing that, yeah,
• 2:23:13
  because that was the part of the problem that existed, was there was
• 2:23:16
  nothing between PG and R and and some things were you know, kind of
• 2:23:22
  okay or acceptable whatever. But as the filmmakers started to kind of push the
• 2:23:28
  envelope a little bit more, you know, parents started to take issue with
• 2:23:31
  some of the stuff that was starting to be included and how far they were
• 2:23:35
  pushing the envelope. So they kind of needed something in between. And that's
• 2:23:39
  and like I said, the catalyst was Temple of Doom with the heart being
• 2:23:43
  ripped out and the guys falling in the river at the end of getting ripped
• 2:23:48
  up by you know, alligators and crocodiles or whatever, and then gremlins and
• 2:23:52
  all the shit that happened in that and so as that's kind of when everything
• 2:23:56
  kind of just came to a head. And then Steven Spielberg made this suggestion
• 2:24:00
  to the guy who was the president I believe, of the MPAA at the
• 2:24:03
  time, to come up with another in between rating. Like I said,
• 2:24:07
  he thought, you know, eleven was the age or some of the around
• 2:24:11
  teenagers. So then they came up with PG thirteen. Right, I'll play
• 2:24:16
  this for you, the non wrestling addition, and this has been an MPAA
• 2:24:26
  cast. Yeah, all right, low, I want to play a stat
• 2:24:30
  with this. His name is job. I want it's true, it's it
• 2:25:07
  doesn't matter what your name. M oh yeah, let's screw you guys.
• 2:25:28
  I'm going home. Bye, have a great time.
