  Speaker 4: hear my bull predictions and my voice on tape. I'm

  Speaker 4: even excited for that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Wow, this is usually the show that doctor Trey dreads.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: It was always you said, what did you call yourself?
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Like a Southern Kermit the Frog? I always remember that line.

  Speaker 1: Is a red neck muppet.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: That's what it was.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Is a red neck muppet's kind of what I sound like.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: But then I hear it, I'm like, my accent isn't
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: that bad? Actually, So it's just that when I get excited,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: my voice gets higher pitched. And as I've done more
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: training on in the shoot job, the real life job,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I have to record myself training people, and I'm like, yeah,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: so when I'm excited, my voice gets higher pitched, and
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: when I'm having to defend an opinion, my voice gets
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: higher pitched. But when I'm relaxing, calm man, I sound
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: like Jeff peck On, you know, on read just like
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: all chill and leave back and deep and gravelly and

• 2:12
  Speaker 2: like some of the old episodes of SRTU and like,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: both our voices so so damn different, because it's just
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know, maturity, getting older mileage from both of us.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's wild, but This is the show

  Speaker 2: and I get to an opportunity to just kind of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: like sit back, relax, take everything all in, look back,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: look at the present, look forward, and it's just a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: fun time of the year. And I'm excited to be
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: here Doc Trey, to kick things off on our Wrestling
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Recap special. And you kind of like dipped your hat
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: there a little bit in the beginning where I was
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: going to ask you, when we look back overall the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: entire scope of professional wrestling in twenty twenty four, give
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: me like your overall thoughts and if you had to
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: give twenty twenty four a letter grade, let's throw it
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: out there and then also compare this year twenty twenty
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: four to the last fourteen years of covering SRTU. So
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from twenty ten onwards, where would you rank twenty twenty
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: four in the world of professional wrestling.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I love that you come to me and you're like,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: you know, compare this last fourteen years. And off air,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: we were talking baseball a little bit and I literally
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: forgot the name of Shoto Maga from the Cups.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, today, So yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Doctor Trey, let's look at back at the last fourteen years.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: Off the top of your head. This year, this year,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: like wrestling was really really strong, Like it was strong
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: across you know, most borders. I would say, I would say,
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: if you look at if you if you break it
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: down into like and it's about Major league wrestling, like
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the top level of professional wrestling.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I thought overall between.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: WWE, awtn A, Yeah, there are some flaws, but overall
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I thought wrestling was really good. The the that triple
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: A tire, whether it's the GCW's MLWS that level, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: thought those are really strong, like wrestling even down the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: independence wrestling was really strong across the board. I mean,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: the talent's getting better, the storylines are typically getting better,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: u the exposure that wrestling is getting on a national
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: scale is getting better. I mean you're seeing deals getting
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: moved left and right to go to different streaming platforms
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: and you know, going to different networks and things like
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: that to get more highs on the product.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: And you only get to do that when there's demand.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: If you compare to years past, you think of times
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: when like TNA was leaving Spike to go to Destination
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: America and then ended up on some obscure channel that
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: we had a hard time finding because it only was
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: in like forty thousand homes, you know, and other places
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: weren't able to get deals and stuff like wrestling's in
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: a much better spot. Like the storytelling in WWE, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: even the storytelling and some of the other show like
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: programs like on the Triple A and DOUAA levels are
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: really really good. The talent and this is something you
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: and I've been harping off with the last seven eight years.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: We've seen it coming. The talent has never been better
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: than it is right now. I mean, all these shows,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: whether it's TNAAWWWE.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: They are so deep on their respective brands.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: Mind you, they have budgetary constraints, but just the depth
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: on all of these shows is just incredible two years past.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: I mean, we don't have Jeff gushing over a Lars
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Sullivan type person right now, Like you know, there's no
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: like you see a prospect, You're like, that guy is
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: going to be a star. There's not a question about it,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: like on some of these people. The depth and the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: women's division, you know, across all the brands are really good.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: The depth and the tag team divisions across these brands
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: are really good.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just amazing.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: The depth and quality of wrestling across the world right
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: now is probably as good as it has ever been.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And that's coming from somebody who grew up during the
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Attitude era more so than just about anybody else.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a really good year for professional wrestling.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I think it's to me, if I'm giving a letter
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: grade for this year, Doctor Troy, I'm giving it an
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: A overall. And I think when I look back at
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the last fourteen years of SRTU and the years that
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: we've covered, I think twenty twenty four maybe the best
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: year of Rushon and wrestling in the fourteen years of
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: covering it here on the strialto Show podcast.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I can't think of a time when I would put
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: on WWE Raw or SmackDown, even NXT this past year
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: where I was not everything creative is a knockout of
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the park. But the show overall is always very good.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: It's always very captivated. It always keeps me entertained. We
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: haven't had stretches where we went from one pay per
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: view to another where I'm like, well, this has been
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: a really bad build. I'm not really looking forward to
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: this match. This is leaving a lot left on the
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: table that I want to see. I just felt like
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: w was consistently good all year long. AW had their
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: ebbs and flows, and we'll certainly get to them here. Momentarily,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: TNA Wrestling was on the rise, and then the little
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: brands that are out there, the GCW's, the MLW's, they
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: had a successful year as well, building up words and
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: it just felt like wrestling overall was booming. And that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: very exciting for guys like you and I who are
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: a longtime wrestling fans, because yeah, we do live in nostalgia.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: We do live in the past. We're coming off a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Saturday Night's main event this past week, and it it
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: just we always go back and go, well, it's not
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the Attitude era, it's not the Attitude Air, it's not
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the Attitude era. This timeframe right now, I think is
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: something that in ten years time, twenty years time, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: as a wrestling fan, look back at fondly as an
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: era in we programming alone, and that's really exciting, that's
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: really fun. So professional Wrestling's had a really good year overall.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I give it an A and I think twenty twenty
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: four Doctor Trey may be the best year we've ever
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: covered in professional wrestling.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I was looking back thinking about like
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: all the times we've been covering the show, and there's
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: been a couple of good years in there, but there
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: was always something to kind of drug it down.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I would probably get it an A minus, maybe slightly
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: a knock less you. And that's only because I feel
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: like one of the shows kind of pulled some of
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: the other stuff down a little bit, I guess. And
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: then you know, I always look for like, is there
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: that guy that kind of has broken out from the pack.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: You know, I always want that breakout star, whether it
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: was a Scena during his day, whether it was a
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: Daniel Bryan during his time in WWE, whether it was
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: you know, when Roman and the Bloodline first found it,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: you know, first came out.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Really broke out and separated themselves from everybody else.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody's that must see guy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: I think there's everybody kind of helped elevate Arabodyl's game
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: a little bit, but I still feel like there's groupings
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: together of like three or four guys who are on
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: one level, then three or four guys on this level,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: and then three or four guys on a notch down.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: So I don't know we have that breakout guy, and
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: that's usually what kind of separates a year out from
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: me for me than anything else, whether talk about attitude area,
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: there's an Austin Iraq, a SNA, you know, whether it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: a Daniel Bryan, a Roman Reigns, even Cody last year
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: kind of broke out. I just don't know if there's
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that bankable money guy that everybody has to see. But
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of really really good guys that people
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: will consistently tune into.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I guess, so let's look back at WWE, Doctor Troy,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: how would we recap World Wrestling Entertainment in twenty twenty four?
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: For me, I would say that it's arguably the best
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: year I've ever watched WWE. Like the consistency in the storytelling,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: the dropping of little hints from one angle that bleeds
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: into another one down the road, the storytelling. You know,
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: the match quality has been better than it's been in
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: years past, just from top to bottom.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: To me, it was an a like it was like
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I said, the only thing that they didn't really have
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is they didn't.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Really have that breakout guy that everybody that that hot
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: guy that everybody has to see. There was just really
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: good consistency across all their brands. I thought NXT elevated
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: itself from last year. SmackDown got a little better, especially
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: when Roman came back. Rod's been consistently good. You had
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: some great feuds. Tag team division was kind of struggling
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: for a while, but over the last six weeks has
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: really picked up. The women's division. At time it's been
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: a little bit meh, but for the most part, the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: NXT women's vision has kind of saved women's wrestling in WWE,
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: and then the liv Rhea stuff's been really good.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Nia's come on really strong.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: So just from top to bottom production value, throwing in
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: some nostalgia stuff like a little bit of everything you want,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: WWE just basically hit a home run this year.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: To me, like I said, in the fourteen fifteen years
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: we've been covering the.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Show, I don't know if they've had if they've had
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: a better year overall than they had this year.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of ways you could describe this.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: Is it the beginning or in the middle of or whatever.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Is this a dynasty era for w WA. I know
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: dynasty is a phrase that AW likes to use, but
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: is this a dynasty that's going on in World Rush Entertainment?
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Because top to bottom they are another word that you
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: could describe them, flawless. It's like I had to really
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: rack my brain where you know, there were periods of
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: time and we'll talk about this in regards to AW
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: certainly in just a little bit, but there would be
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: stretches of shows going into a pay per view during
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: the vitcick Man Creative Team era where I was like, yeah,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm not really feeling these matches. I'm not
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: really feeling the creative in it. It's not getting me
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: excited for the matches, and the match would happen at
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the pay per view and then you'd move on and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: then maybe w would be in a decent stretch for
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: maybe a month or two where it was pretty good,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and then it would fall off again, like it could
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: be one bad month, two good months, three bad months,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: two good months. Like it was very very inconsistent, and
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it was so inconsistent that it would almost become normal
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: and natural professional wrestling where you wouldn't get from January
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: to December in a calendar year a good solid production,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: good solid entertainment from your restling promotion that you watched.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: There were going to be periods of time where would
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: dip a little bit. There were periods of time where
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: w would be on the rise, and it always seemed
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: to like coalesce with something that was going on, Like
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: we would always talk about we were entering the Monday
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Night Football eras of WW and things would be going
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: really really well for and during Monday night football or
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: college football would be starting, or the NBA Finals World Series.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: It was always something that was going on that we
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: would give like an excuse as to why WW wasn't
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: doing well. But what they've been doing really well in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty four is that from January December, I don't
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: know if there's been more than a week where they
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: haven't had good programming in all honesty, I mean, if
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Raw is very good, SmackDown's very good, NXT's very good.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I guess if there was a flaw in the beginning
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of the year, it was you were seeing the build
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to what NXC was towards the end of twenty twenty four,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: which they're coming into twenty twenty five, and they're a
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: very exciting brand right now, the stuff that's going on
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: with them. You know, maybe that was the flaw in
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the year, but as an overall product,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: it's hard to blink and think that there was a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: period of time, Doctor Trey that WW was not good
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: for a week or two or into a build to
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: a pay per view. I mean, there are very few
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: times that you and I sit here when we preview
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: a pl and we're like, well, yeah, I like the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: four other matches, but this one match, this makes no sense.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Why it's on the card, Like when did that happen.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think it ever did. And that's very very telling,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: doctor Trey, And I think it goes to show you
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: that there is a blueprint for successful professional wrestling and
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you're seeing it in world wrestling entertainment right now.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: And I think one thing they've done really well, and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: this is basically in the last year and a half
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: two years base ever since Vince was kind of moved out,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: was they are actually listening to criticism and their audience
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: a little bit more than they have in years past.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: Like if you hear like you and I have critiqued
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: the tag team division over this year, that's been the
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: one flaw is the tag team division on you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Ron SmackDown. And then we've seen that adjustment play out
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: over the past eight weeks, ten weeks ever since you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: the most of machine Guns came around, DIY got back together,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: we saw the war Raiders come back, and just you know,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: recently captured the tag team titles. Like they've made a
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: concerned effort to kind of fix something or were like, hey,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: the women's division feels a little weak, they shuffle that
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: that thing ends up getting shuffled around. So they are
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: looking instead of constantly hitting their strengths, they're also trying
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: to fix their deficiencies in their programming as well, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: that's why it's coming across so good on TV.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like it's not.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Nearly of a roller coaster that has been at times
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: where it's like, oh my god, it's great, and then
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: like a week later, like I can't watch this.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: It like it's not like that. It's it's very very consistent.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: You use the phrase dynasty.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: When I'm thinking of it, I'm thinking of like of
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: a wave, Like I don't think we're at the top
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: of the wave. It's not cresting yet, but you can
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: feel that wave surging up, and like, I'm expecting big
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: things in twenty twenty five. You just some of the
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: stuff they've the rumored stuff for WrestleMania and Summer Slant,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: some of that stuff like that'ud be some of the
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: biggest stuff we've.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Seen in a long time.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: So it's it's really impressive to see not only how
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: well they're doing, but also how they're building for the
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: long term as well.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: I think one of the things that you could look
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: at where there was an opportunity where WWE could stumble
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and they didn't, and that was the whole Rock Roman
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: reigns built towards WrestleMania where Cody was removed. Like that
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: was maybe the only period of time where it was
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: like old school WE under Vince's reign, where they were
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: going in this direction. They weren't gonna care what the
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: fans thought, and they were gonna put that match out
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: there and it was gonna be like, oh, it's the
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: same old shit. Instead they turned it around Doctor Trey.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: They saved it, and I think they gave us something
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: so much more entertaining and so much better heading into WrestleMania.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: That got me really hyped for that show. To me,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: that is this shining example of like we in twenty
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: twenty four, where they tried something creatively, the fans were
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: not liking it, they pivoted, and they put out something
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: that was probably better than what they were originally thinking
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: and planning heading into that show, I think there is
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: no more moment than that that's like, Okay, this is
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: the new We. This is the direction that they will go,
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: and this is why this company has the chance of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: being very, very successful and maybe the most successful it's
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: ever been in its entire history.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I was actually listening to an interview with A Spears
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: this week, and one of the things that he said
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: that's different now than maybe years past is when a
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: person comes in, they go, hey, so here's kind of
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: like a loose plan of what we're going to do.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: We have some other things we're here, we can do,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: but we're just gonna kind of see where the crowd
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: takes us and then we'll go that way. And I
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: don't think that's ever been something they've done in years past,
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: like there was a game plan laid out, we were
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: gonna it's almost like the old football days. We're gonna
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: run this ball down your throat and you better stop
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: us or not stop us. But we're going straight ahead. Now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: it's like they're flexible. They're ameniable, Like there's ways they
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: can kind of pivot and adjust, and you know, the
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: rock Roma stuff was a great example, but even like
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: on stuff like you know, the small scale the war
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Raiders now were the Viking Raiders nine months ago, and
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: they had the whole big Viking gimmick and vall haul
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: and everything else, and then they you know, uh, Eric.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Goes down with an injury.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Next thing you know, we see Ivar on NXT and
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: like Biker close almost like re closed and having matches,
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: and then they pivoted back to the war Raiders because
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: that was when they enjoyed their their success. We're seeing
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: the MotorCity machine Guns come in as the MotorCity machine
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: Guns and not you know, Detroit Killers or.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: You know whatever, the Troit's Super Soakers.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, like some random name. Now it's like this is
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: what people know you as you already kind of have
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: a brand. Will license it so we can make our
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: little bit of money of it. But there's no point
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: in changing something that's not broken. So like they're they're
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: far more flexible. We're seeing them work with other promotions
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: which we would have never seen in years past.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Like they're actually opening up.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: Instead of being like China with the great wall wrapped
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: around them where it's hard to get in or get out,
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: those walls have come down and they're open for business
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: and they will cross boundaries that they never would have
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: crossed before, just for the good of pro wrestling and
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: in the long run, the long term success of ww
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: WE as well.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: All Right, Doctor Trey Lettergrade w W in twenty twenty four,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: I will say in A. Yeah, I think A is fair.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I want to give them an A plus. I mean
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: a plus. You would be like, I think that's an
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: insane thing to say.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: I think a plus.
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: You have that Austin R rock breakout guy that just
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: becomes the coolest thing in pop culture.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: How about this too? Just because for SRTU sake, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: you and I always do the one to five scale,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: and we do the point system here for pay per views.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: If we were doing our one to five scale, what
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: would you give WW in twenty twenty four.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Four point five?
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Think you would be like, right there on the cut, like,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: to me, four point six to five is a plus.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Like anything right there in the middle is probably in
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: A So that's where I'm at.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: See, I'm going like four point seven out of five, Okay, Yeah,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I mean I think it's been that good and I
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: want to give it a five or give it like
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: a four point nine out of five. But I think
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: four point seven for me is pretty solid. So I
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: give it a four point seven. You give it a
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: four point five, and then I guess going back to
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: wrestling in general in twenty twenty four, since we gave
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a letter grade, just to go back to that real
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: quick before we talk about AW. I think I would
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: give professional wrestling as a whole as a whole like
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: four point.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Two out of five.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: That's yeah, because I was trying to do my math
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: and I was like, I'd be right around at four
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: point one four point two because I said a minus,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: so I have to be a little bit below you,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: so like four point one, which I'm sure once we
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: start ranking on of these other promotions you'll see the
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: discrepancy of why the number for wrestling as a whole
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: is a little less than what WWE is.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: So let's do it. Let's switch gears here, all a wrestling.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four, there were high expectations for AW.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: There was the belief that they were going to be
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: signing a lot of free agents. One we knew going
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: into twenty twenty four, and that was will Osprey's that
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: that was announced at full year twenty twenty three. The
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: belief going into twenty twenty four was because It'scocata and
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: I think at that point the beginning the year, Mercedes
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Monee was rumored to potentially be going to AW as
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: well as WU, and then I think as the month
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: of January went on or early stages of twenty twenty four,
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it was quickly understood that Mercedes Monet, the former Sasha Banks,
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: is going to be headed to all Lead Wrestling. It
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: has been an up and down year Doctor Trey for
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: all Elite Wrestling, ebbs and flows. I would say from
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: the start of the year till about Revolution it was okay,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: it was mediocre. From Revolution till about all in London
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: it was very good. I thought it was a good,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: solid show, lots of good builds, lots of good feuds.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: It was people were in position that we wanted to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: see whether it was swerved strickling with the World Championship
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: will Ost Brown the Rise is International Champion, and then
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: from all in to present day it has completely fallen
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: off a cliff. Viewership is down, creative is down. The
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: matches are still good and solid, the show at times
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: pulling teeth and hard to get through. I mean we
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: were talking about two three weeks ago about no longer
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: even recapping or previewing aw pay per views because it's
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: so bad. Viewership has gone down dramatically. They were in
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: the five hundred thousands for Dynamite rampages like one twenty
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: five and I saw recently was a little over two hundred.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I want to say Collision has hit the threes over
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the last short while three hundred k which is down
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: as well. Attendance has been a known problem for the
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: most part, give or take. There's been some markets that
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: they've gone in where they've had a good, solid showing,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: like at Full Gear in New Jersey they had a good,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: solid show. Grand Slam had over eight thousand, but at
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: one point Grand Slam of New York City had over
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: twenty thousand people in Queens, New York. It has been
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: an up and down year. And when I think of
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: all the wrestling Doctor Trey, I think it all lays
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: at the feet of the owner and the head of
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: creative of the company, and that is Won Tony Khan.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: There have been some stories as of late that have
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: not shed him or his company good light, most notably
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: the Rave Phoenix situation. There was something where I read
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: from Brian Alvarez that people were up in arms that
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Tony Storms returned to all lead wrestling when she came
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: back at the end of Dynamite after Maria made if
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: he didn't mirror Shari Kawa Mina Shirakawa during Dynamite. They
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: were shocked that her first match back would be on
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Rampage on Friday. And I think there was something that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Alvarez said where if there was a line of two
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: hundred employees and they all said, do not have her
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: match on rampage, put it on a collision put on
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: the following week of Dynamite, Tony Kahan still would have
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: done what he wanted to do, and that was put
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: it on rampage. And that, to me was like listening
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and looking at a story of about vincick Mann, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: at some point along the way it appears outside looking
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: in the creative all elite rests of Olie Wrestling stopped
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: listening to the fan base and started doing stuff that
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: makes no sense. I think the Brian Danielson aw World
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: title reign was a failure and just a way for
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Tony Kanna put the championship on him before he retires
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: the full time wrestler. That reports out there that Brian
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Danielson did not even want the championship. There's been curious
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: booking where will Ospray for a good portion of the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: year was in line to win Wrestler of the Year
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: and then since like August September, they've booked him not
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: as strong. I like that he's putting over his friends
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: like Kyle Fletcher, and Kyle Fletcher has a very bright future.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: But it's like, what are we doing here? Like Ospray
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: no world title reign in twenty twenty four and Olie
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Wrestling his mind blowing mgff's return. You thought it would
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: give it a shot in the arm, but he hasn't
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: been on television all that much. He's been filming movies. Reportedly,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: he and Adam Cole, which was the big storyline in
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, towards the end, they have now swapped
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: positions where Adam Cole is no longer the heal he's
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: the baby face in MJF is no longer the babyface
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: and heeds the heel, And it's like, why do I
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: give a crap about this if they've completely reversed a
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: year later? Nonetheless, Doctor Trey, it's just a disappointing year
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: overall for all EAT Wrestling, and one that's like reaching
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: a breaking point for me as a fan in twenty
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: twenty five, Like am I going to continue to watch
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: the show front to back each and every week or
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: will it be something I'll just check out on YouTube
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: for the highlights and then try to see the news
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: on the wrestling websites or on X whatever. It has
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: been a confusing, twisting, windy road for All EAT Wrestling,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: and a road that is ending this year on a
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: very sour note for me. It has been a trip
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: for AW this year, Doctor Trey.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, I think I have been harder on AW
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: over the years than you have, and this year I
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: don't want to say it was my breaking point, but
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: really right now with AW, I'm in prove me wrong
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: face with him, like, prove me wrong. Like right now,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I don't have a ton of interest in your product.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: There's there's certain people I am fans of, but as
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: a product as a whole, I'm not a fan of it.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: It's confusing at times, it doesn't make sense, there's no consistency,
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: it's you know, everything that at times drove us nuts
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: about the Vince McMann era. And we had that conversation
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: last week or a weekuld go like, has Tony Kahan
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: become what he said he was against? And that's basically
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Vince McMahon. And I think there are aspects of AW
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: that remind me of you go see a movie like Anchorman.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Anchorman's a great example, Like I love the first Anchorman,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: but then the second one they basically just did over
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: did all the good little jokes from the first movie
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: and bran into the ground Austin powers Those was the
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: same thing. I feel like at times, AW has become
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: a victim of itself, Like some of the stuff that
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: they thought that made them successful early on, they've overdone
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: it or ran it into the ground. And some of
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: it is their stubbornness and their unwillingness to adapt or change.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: But you see, like for the last five years, we've
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: seen these guys get these start and stop pushes, and
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: you know, they get really hot, and then they're not
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: on TV for two or three months, and you know
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: their human relations talent standpoint of how they handle stuff
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: has been atrociously for the last three or four years.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: And you start hearing these stories about how guys are like, man,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard anybody from the company call me in
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: two or three months, but they're paying these guys, Like
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: there are just things about this company that absolutely drive
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: me nuts. When it comes to the simple stuff like
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: taking care of your foster storytelling, mapping out character arc
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: and developments, and who's a babyface and who's a heel,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: and how you don't have to shift everybody around all
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: the time. You make subtle adjustments and kind of let
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: the crowd dictate it. The n ring work of AAW
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: has never been the issue. And that's one of the
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: things that you said that is really kind of frustrating
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: for me as well. So when I get on the
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: message boards and I see people talking about and the
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: diehard AW fans are like, oh, no, it's all about
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: the n ring work, and I'm like, no, Like, you
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: have to give me a reason to care about this,
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Like right now, like as we talk, there's an NBA
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: game on my television. I don't know other than one
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: person on Oklahoma City and I think I know two
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: on Milwaukee.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: The athleticism is great, but I don't know these people,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: So why do I care?
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what the difference between WW and
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: a AW has become, where yeah, the athleticism and aw's fantastic,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: but give me a reason to care about your product.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: And I just right now, I just don't care, Like
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: you have to give me a reason to care, And
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: just when I think somebody's about to take off and
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: really grab me and maybe bring me back to the
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: product as a whole, they shut them down, or they
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: book them badly, or they take them off television, and
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: then I'm just like left hanging like all right, I'm look,
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: there are people I love John Moxley, I love Claudio Cassagnolia,
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: and Chris Jericho is still fan Chris Jericho, Ospray, you know,
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Okata h Swerve, like all these guys like I'm fans
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: of and like even right now, like everything these guys
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: are getting involved in starts off great and then just
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: kind of flounders and flops and then you're just like,
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: I'm kind of.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Bored with it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: So it's it's a really really frustrating time to continuously
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: go back in. It's like being an abusive relationship, like
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: it comes to adew comes around and tells me I'm
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: pretty and how much they care about me, and then
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: three days later they're punching me in the eye.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: It's frustrating.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very frustrating, and I think for people who
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: enjoy aw like myself, it's just been a rocky road
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: where I mean there were points I mean, I've been
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: talking about for a long time and like Rampage is unwatchable,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Collision has points, and it's like it's almost getting to
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: be unwatchable, and then Dynamite was the solid show, and
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: it's like the stuff that they've put their eggs in
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: in the basket in the second half of twenty twenty
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: four is like mind blowing. It's like, why wouldn't they
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: let Swerve keep going? Why wouldn't they let Osprey keep going?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they let Hangman and Swerve keep going? Like
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: why are we doing death writers? Like death writers? I mean,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I said it during Full Gear. I'm like, I just
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: think this angle is completely boring. I have zero interest
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: in it. And this is coming from a guy that
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: really likes John Moxley, Like Moxley is one of my
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: favorite guys to watch professional wrestling today, and this angle
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: is not for him. This character is not for him.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: It is so freaking boring. It's not good. It's it's
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: it's been a rough rough year for AW overall. On
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: these last four or five months, Doctor Trey. I mean,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: even with some of the stuff that we would watch
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: back in the day with w W, I think these
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: last four months. Like from all in to now, maybe
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: it's been some of the worst professional wrestling we've ever
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: covered in SRTU history. And I'm not talking about the
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: entering product. I think as an overall product, I think
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: it's some of the most non entertaining, boring stuff I've seen.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: I think it would be September of twenty twelve when
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: you and I were covering WWE, and I remember these
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: conversations like I don't know if I can watch the show,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: and that was that. That was that fall, that late
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: summer early fall where like everybody on the roster got hurts,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: like Orton was out or suspended for a drug violation,
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: like everybody was out. Uh, and it was really really bad.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: And in those times there's been where we weren't really
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: enjoying the product. But this is really in the fourteen
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: fifteen years of doing the show, only the second time
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: that I can remember you and I having the discussion
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: of should we stop watching this show? And that kind
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: of tells you how bad it's been over the last
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: four or five months. I mean, you and I sat here,
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: it was a week ago, and we were talking about
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: the Kyle Fletcher push and how refreshing it, Like, I mean,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: the guy beat Okata and Osprey in a matter of
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: two weeks, and I legitimately remember telling you you watch,
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: he'll they'll probably have him lose to Briscoe or something
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: for no reason.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Out of nowhere, and they did it.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: It's like you have a man beat two of the
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: greatest pro wrestlers in the world, and his first loss
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: off that is Mark Briskow. No, I'm not disrespecting Mark
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: brisco but in the concept of where the AAW hierarchy is,
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: he's not a top guy. Why are you having a
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: guy lose his first match after beating Okata and Ospray
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: to a guy who's not a top guy.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: That's really bad booking.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: And it's stuff like that that drive normal wrestling fans nuts, Like,
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: you know, like what they're doing with Ethan Page and
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: X having him lose some matches, like that's a little
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: bit more storytelling, but it's not like like we're not
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: pushing Ethan to the moon and then have him lose
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a fluke match to Lucas Christofino. You know, it's like
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: it doesn't make sense, and that's when people like you
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: and me start checking out on it. Is because it
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: doesn't make sense at all to have him lose to
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Mark Briscoe, the guy you're pushing the moon beats to
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: the best of the and then you lose Mark Brooks.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: That's why it drives people like me and Jeff absolutely
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: insane what they do at times.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Well. The other thing two that I think you got
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: to think about as longtime wrestling fans is that I
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: don't have any of this like deep seated loyalty to AW.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I've watched every show and every pay per view they've
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: had since twenty nineteen. But with WWE, I've been watching
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: every show and every pay per view since nineteen ninety four,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and previous to that, it'd be intermittently as a kid,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: like ninety one to ninety four, I would watch it,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: you know, in and out, and then ninety four was
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: like that year where I really started watching professional wrestling religiously.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: So I have this loyalty for WWE that they have
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a leash, a very long leash where if they keep
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: on fooling me and it's like, all right, well, now
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: if I stop watching WE, I'm not gonna watch wrestling
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: in general anymore. With AW, it's the leash for loyalty
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: is really small and short, and it reminds me personally
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: of how I treated TNA Wrestling the early two thousands.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: From like two thousand and two to about two thousand
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and six, I would watch TNA pretty regularly, and then
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: as time went on, it just dwindled and dwindled and dwindled.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: And there's been times where I picked it back up,
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: like in twenty twenty. I certainly keep an eye on
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: it right now, and I know they're doing good, but
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I don't watch the show consistently. I don't watch the
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: show really at all. I just kind of, you know't
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: hear about what's going on in the peripheral. So it's
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: it's like, does AW fall in that TNA gap for me?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: And it's a possibility. I don't want it to be
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: because we need a good, solid number two in professional wrestling,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: and AW performing really, really well is good overall for
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: professional wrestling. So I am cheering them on, but it's like, Christ,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: you guys have got to pick up it up right here,
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: right now, because it's like fool me one, shame on me,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: fool me twice maybe over Doctor Tray. So rough year
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: for twenty twenty four rough year for aw in twenty
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Let's give our rating on this doctor Trey
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: our one to five scale. I guess i'll start with you.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: What would you give is the numeric rating here for
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: aw in twenty twenty four.
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: It's almost in a way, it's almost like a tail
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: of two halves. I think the first half of the
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: year there was a it was a good product. The
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: last half was really really bad. Three point two. Maybe
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: that's like a C like B minus C. Is that
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: is that where we companus B minus C three point two.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: See it's I was gonna go three point two, and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: I was thinking that was gonna be really low. So
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I was intrigued to hear what you had to say.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: But since you said three point two, I'm on the
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: same wavelength there. I think three point two was very fair.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I think that's like a C minus letter grade.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like to me, like, well one to five.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: You look at and say, okay, well if you went
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: to A three A three B the middle as A
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: C the middle.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So I was like B minus C like it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Like I said, if the first half of the the
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: first half the year, I would have given them a
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: B B plus. But yeah, man, the last five months
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: has it's been a D D minus Like it's borderline.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, we talked about it's borderline unwatchable at times,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: and and once again, it's not the athleticism, like these
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: guys are crazy good in the ring, it's just all the.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: Other stuff that go was on around.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: It has just been a nightmare of the last five,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: like four or five months of aw.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Doctor Trey for people who are you know, longtime wrestling
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: fans here, I literally think the way you're describing it
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: reminds me so much of TNA in the two thousands,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Like in ring stuff was really good, but the creative
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: overall it was like meh, and I know you were
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: always referred to as the TNA guy, but that's how
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: much That's what it reminds me of right now. Is
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: like TNA in that mid two thousands, late two thousands
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: into twenty ten's range.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: It was the Hogan Bischoff era of TNA.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: That really killed it. But at that point I felt
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: like prior to it, they were grasping for straws to
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: find an identity.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like and and I feel that way with AADW
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: Like if you were to tell a wrestling family like
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: you if you describe AAW to somebody, like, how would
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: you describe AAW Like it's great gymnastics, it's great, Like
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's it's it's a movie that has
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: all the great special efet but nobody you know is
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: in it and the script is got awful.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Well, no, there are people you know that's in there,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: like you wouldn't hey remember Chris Jericho.
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's it's Remember when you would go
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: to red Box and you'd see a movie and it'd
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: be Bruce Willis in the movie, and you're like, Okay,
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: I know Bruce Willis, I don't know anybody else.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: The explosions look kind of cool. But then you watch and.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: You're like, yeah, I just wasted an hour and a
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: half of my life. Bruce was in it for a
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: pay day. Like it's just it's it's at times WCW
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: in two thousand era bad. That's how bad AW is
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: because I'm old enough to remember that. Like we have
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: listeners on the show, Jeff, you know, we have people
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: who listen to the show that don't remember w CW.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: They were born WCW when they had that magnificent magnificent
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: seven Yeah, that was after new Blood when you had
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: like Rick Steiner and Rick Flair were in a group together,
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: like it was really really bad.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Well it was new Blood versus Magnificent Seven.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: No, it was New Blo versus Millionaire's Club.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, you're right, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: Then after that, the last ditch or last ditch group
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: was the Magnificent Seven. And that's kind of like, yeah,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: they're closing up shops soon. I'm not at that point.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: AW is not going out of business unless unless shat
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: Cohn decides that. You know, I mean, you got to
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: deal with Max. You got all these deals going on,
• 40:22
  Speaker 4: there's a market for it. It's just you almost feel
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: like it's just a rich kid playing with toys and
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: he doesn't really care what anybody else thinks. And that's
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: the arrogance of it all is also frustrating.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think there's anything more than I can say
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: to that, doctor Trey. I think that was spot on,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and I think that was perfect. And it's funny that
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: you said that, because I was thinking that to myself
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: when I was thinking about prepping for this show today.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: So spot on AW in twenty twenty four, perfect way
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: to wrap it. Up With that said, so we've looked
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: back at everything here from professional wrestling as a whole,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: WWE is a whole, Aw's a hoole in twenty twenty.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Now it is time to open up the vault of SRTU.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: We will go back to the first episode of twenty
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: twenty four. It was episode number seven hundred and twenty
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: five on January the fourth. We're going to listen back
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: to our bold predictions and our wrestlem Any forty card
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: predictions from the first show of the year. This is
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: something that both and I, both Doctor Trey and I dread,
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: but it's time for us to do it. Doctor Trey,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: let me open up the vault and take a listen
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: back to our first episode of twenty twenty four on
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: January the fourth, episode number seven hundred and twenty five. Now,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Doctor Trey, it is time to get ready for our
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: five bowld predictions for twenty twenty four and our wrestle
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Any of forty card predictions. Are you ready for this?
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Are you nervous? Are you scared? Are you excited? How
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: do you feel before we get into it?
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: So it was funny like a couple weeks ago, like
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: Jeff brings us all time that I hate this show
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: because I have to listen back to it, and I
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: really hate my boy and I have sinus congestion really bad,
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: so I think my voice like I hear it echoing
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: in my head, which makes this even worse. Plus, we
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: have had almost zero success with bull predictions for the
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: last two years, so like we were literally cutting quarter
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: points at half points just to give ourselves some credits
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: so we don't get zeros. So absolutely nervous and terrified,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: but it's going to be fun because I always love
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: hearing what you come up with. I don't know if
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: you think the same way about me, but this is
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: actually one of my favorite things we do as far
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: as just fantasy booking, creative, just weird crap that Jeff
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: and I come up with for our bull predictions.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love doing this because it's is it
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: our stuff that like on the probability of actually happening
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: as a prediction? Is it really high? Is it in
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: the middle, is it really low? Like how crazy did
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: we get? How oh okay, I could see that happening?
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Did we get?
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: It's a really fun thing that we do. Here we
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: recapped our bull predictions from the first show last year
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: two weeks ago, and Doctor Trey, we gave the victory
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: two and that one when it came to all encompassing
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: Bold Predictions and Wrestlmania thirty nine car predictions. We will
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: have to see how this sounds when we replay this
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: clip on December nineteenth of this year, the second last
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: to last show of the year, and recap our bold
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: predictions and WrestleMania forty card predictions on that edition of
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: the podcast. But right now, we're living in the moment,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Doctor Trey. This clip is now playing during the first
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: show of the year and the second to last show
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: of the year, and it's time to get to it,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: my friend. Shall we begin with each of us going
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: through our bold predictions one through five?
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna do you want to go back and forth?
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Or we're just gonna go straight through.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: I think we've been going straight through the last couple
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: of years, and I think, why don't we do it again?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: You want me to go first? Or do you want
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: to go first?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: My I'm good, I got all my stuff here, so
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: I'll start first.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: My first bold prediction is the one non entering storyline
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: Bowl Predictions, So my first one is that the newly
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: minted TKO Endeavor operation buys TNA Wrestling and decides to
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: operate as another traveling developmental brand, similar to what AW
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: did with Ring of Honor.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I can see Endeavor doing the same.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: Thing with TNA and just basically one upping the Tony
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Conn approach and leaving you know, Scott Demore in charge
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: of running the day to day operations, but another avenue
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: for ww to kind of get some extra revenue coming
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: in extra TV deal already in place, and heck, Endeavor
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: just announced not too long ago or it was announced
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: that they're going to start streaming TNA Wrestling through the
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Endeavor platform, so it kind of makes sense on that
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: level as well. My number two Bowl prediction is everybody's
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: favorite wrestler right now. Yours and mine included Swerve Strickland
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: wins the AW Heavyweight Championship and the prints not on dance,
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: We'll take over social media. It is one of the
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: most entertaining duos we've seen in quite a while. Sworeve
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: is on it is approaching another level. I think he
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: keeps making that progression, and as much as I really
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: don't want other managers to be successful, out of just
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: spite and biases. Chris Na really is entertaining what that
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: dance he does coming out. My number three Bowl prediction
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: is that Adam Copeland turns heel and reunites with Christian
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Cage to battle FTR for the newly minted US Canadian
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Maple Leaf Brown Sugar.
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Throw in one other other.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Title thing you want to tag team titles in AAW.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, we have a surplus of belts available in AW,
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: but I do think Edge and Christian to reunite at
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: some point, And as much as I love cheering for them,
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: I think Christian Cage has been phenomenal as a heel.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: Adam Copeland hasn't played the heeling quite some time, so
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: I think those two guys getting back together, reuniting E
• 45:59
  Speaker 4: n C under the C and C monitor to take
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: on FTR would be highly, highly enjoyable. My number four
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: ball prediction is that the Guns signed with WWE and
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: sided with Grayson Waller and Austin Theories who form Degeneration
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: NXT or Degeneration Next, however you want to phrase it.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: It'd be some kind of cool thing there.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: But the Guns are arguably one of the most entertaining
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: duos on television right now, along with the other members
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: of Bullet Club Gold. I think those guys are perfect
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: cadates for ww just like we saw with Brian Pilman
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: Junior recently. Just a young talent that they could bring
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: in mold as shape and their charisma level is off
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: the chart, so I could see them being paired with
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: Waller Theory, who are kind of like a young Shawn
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: Michaels and Triple H in their attitudes and basically reforming
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: or forming some version of Degeneration. Next, and finally, my
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: last bull prediction is kind of based on our award
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: show that Dominic Mysterial will win money in the Bank
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: and cash in on Daviian Priest, who cashed in earlier
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: on the show at Money in Bank to win the
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: WWE Heavyweight Championship. So I at this point, now we're
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: getting close to WrestleMania season, Davian Priest still has not
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: cashed in. It doesn't look like he's got an opportunity
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: to do, so I can see him cashing in literally
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: almost at the one year mark, and then Dominic cashes
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: in or wins money in the bank and then cashes
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: it on Davy and Priest the same night. So those
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: are my five bold predictions.
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Oh that's really good man.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: It's funny because at least two of them are very
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: similar in a way, or at least there's a mention
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: to mine. So beginning with my first ball prediction, I
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: have swerved Strickland, dethroning MJF and becoming the AW World Champion.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that means MGF retained at world's end or this
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: bold prediction is already shot by the time this show airs,
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: So both Doctor Trey and I having swerved Strickland becoming
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: AW World Champion in twenty twenty four with our bold predictions.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: My number two is that Kazachka Okada signs with WII
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: and takes on shins Key Nakamoor at WrestleMania forty. My
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: number three is that Cmpunk becomes the next Era or
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: the next wave of Raw or SmackDown performer to go
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: to NXT where he becomes the NXT Champion, helps build
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: up Eliot Dragonoff to eventually dethroned cm Punk and become
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: NXC champion again. My number four, similar to one of
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Doctor Trey's, is that Damian Priest turns babyface when the
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: judgment date turns on him. Eventually cashing in is money
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: in the bank briefcase and becoming the WA World. They
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: have a weight champion. So Doctor Trey and I have
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: at some point, somehow, some way, Damian Priest cashes in
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: and becomes a WA World. They have aight champion. And
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: then my last bold predictions is that Mercedes Money signs
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: with TNA Wrestling and feuds with Trinity. There's some reports
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: out there right now that her stuff is with AW
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: has quieted down and has no more talk about Creative.
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody's pointing to w w EE for her to make
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: a return, maybe the Royal Rumble in a couple of weeks.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: I'm saying she signs with TNA. Scott de Moore said
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: that they have a major surprise signing for TNA Wrestling,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: and I think that's going to be Mercedes Mona. So
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Doctor Trey, there are five bold predictions funny enough mentioned
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: to Swerve Strickland mentions of Damian Priest, at least both
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: of ours.
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: By the way, if if Swerve does the thrown MGF,
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I want a video of Jeff peg thing the Prince
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: not a dance, I can say it I can do it.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: It's not a hard it's not so much to back
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: and forth. It's more the last so the last so
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: part is what I want to see.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: Fair enough. I'm really good with the arms bobbing back
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: and forth. I'm actually doing it right now. If you
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: can hear me doing it, if you hear cracking, that's
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: my shoulders.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: That's literally how I dance at most wrestling shows. Wait
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: like I man like somebody's somebody always has music playing
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: at what a Rocket City shows. When I started dancing
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: and then I realized, oh crap, I'm dancing and people
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: can see me.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: I immediately stop, So that does happen.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: I By the way, I love the Okada one because
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: as I was doing my WrestleMania card, I had a
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: hard time fighting subway for Shinzkate to wrestle, so that
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: works out perfectly.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I really really like that as well. So no solid
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: job on your prediction. We didn't go I don't think
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: we went too crazy.
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: Like nothing is completely out of the rebel possibility, but
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: they are legitimately bold predictions because they are stretches of
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: the imagination true.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: And there's also the part of those are the things
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: that we want to see in twenty twenty four somehow,
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: some way, all right. WRESTLEMANI forty card predictions, Doctor Trey,

• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Hello, So I think we're about the same number of
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: matches here. I was just making sure that we're we're
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: kind of here. So, oh, there's quite a few on
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: your card that are similar to mine, but then we
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: also have quite a differences as well. So, uh so
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: my wrestle Media card I have. Yeah, So, so apparently
• 53:12
  Speaker 4: Sammy was not happy if my wrestling. I think Sammy
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: just saw my wrestle Media card and decided it was horrible.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I can't believe he kept Nyah Jacks off the card.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: It's literally what it is right now. So yeah, it's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: right behind you, dude.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, So my wrestle Media card, I have a Robot
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: Rays defending the Undisputed Championship against Cody Rhodes, who also

  Speaker 1: Frickett Rawlins.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: Defending the ww Heavyweight Championship against them Punk, who wins
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: the Rumble just because I think that's a great storytelling.
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: Concidered that that's when Punk left was after the Rumble
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: ten years ago. He then returns and now wins it UH.
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: For the United States Championship, I have Logan Paul defending

  Speaker 4: against l A Knight Uh for the I See. I
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: also oh the women's tag team titles. I have Chelsea
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: Green and Piper Nivin against the Kabuki Warriors versus Alba

  Speaker 4: raymis Stereo and the rest of the LWO versus Santos Escobar,
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: Hulberto Korea and Angel Garza.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like it, Doctor Trey My. The
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: person I had the hardest to predict their match was
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: actually La Knight. I nearly forgot him on my card.
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Who was yours?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Mine was finding an opponent for Gunther like I wanted
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: to do Brock, Like, I just don't see that being
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: for the interconnial title, so I kept trying to figure
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: out a way to put the belt on somebody else first,
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: like Brock causes somebody to beat Gunther.
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: So that was one, and then yeah, it was the
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: La Knight Kevin Owens, like who goes with who? And
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: I just think they werena do Kevin Owens and Logan
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: Paul at Rumble, and then La Knight and Logan Paul
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: at WrestleMania.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: So that's kind of thought my thought process anyway.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it makes sense. It makes sense. So there
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: you go. There is our five bold prediction and our
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Wrestum of forty card predictions. We will reopen the vault
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: on December nineteenth, twenty twenty four, and we will see
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: how Doctor Trey and I did. So hopefully when we
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: go back in time and listen back to these predictions
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: and these match predictions, doctor Trey and I look like geniuses.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: If not, we will continue to laugh at ourselves. So
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: there is our twenty twenty four five bowld predictions and
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: our Wrestum forty card predictions here on the first show
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: of twenty and twenty four. All right, doctor Trey, we
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: are back here on present day, December the nineteenth, this
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: week's edition of sr TU, and we've just played our
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: bold predictions and our wrestlemt forty card predictions from the
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: first show of the year back on January the fourth
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: Episomber seven hundred and twenty five. Here we are fifty
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: shows later EPISO number seven hundred and seventy five on
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: December nineteenth, and let's let's give out our here or
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: our points system that we tend to do each and
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: every year, and see how we did in our bold
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: predictions in our wrestling. Hey, forty car predictions. So let's
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: start with me. I had My first one was Swerve
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: Strickland Thrones MJF and becomes the AW World Champion. I
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: gave myself a half a point. Are we in agreement
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: on that?
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Yep? But I gave you half a point as well, all.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Right because it's cod assigns with w W and takes
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: on Chinsky Nakamora. No points, so no reason to talk
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: about that. Siampunk becomes the NXC champion, helps build up
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Iliot dragonoff to eventually become the NXC champion again. Zero
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: points on that. My fourth bold prediction, Damian Priest turns
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: baby face when the Judgment Day turns on him, eventually
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: cashes in his money in the bank briefcase and becomes
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: the w Worldweight Champion. It didn't work in that specific
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: way in that order, but I gave myself a point.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: Is that fair?
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 57:54
  Speaker 4: The only thing I knocked you on a little bit
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: was the Judgment Day because I just came after. But
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: I still get gave you a full point because you
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: still the cash in the world title and judgment Day turning.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: You just had the order a little bit wrong, but
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: it's a bold prediction, so if the orders a little
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: bit off, I'm fine with that.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: I gave you a full point for it.
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: And then I had Mercedes Bonett signs with TNA Wrestling
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: in feudure with Trinity that received no points. Doctor Trey's
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: bold prediction TKO Group Holding spies TNA Wrestling and uses
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: it as a developmental brand. While I wish that came true,
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: it did not no points their.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: Order.
• 58:30
  Speaker 4: I was to give myself a quarter because they are
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: using TNAP in a sense of his developmental because you're
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: seeing the Tatum pas Lee's and the Windy Choose.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a they're not using as
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: a developmental brand. I think it's a partnership, yeah, but
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's yeah, I get I was. I was
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: just proud that I actually saw that TKO and TNA
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: work together.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: So I was just happy with that.
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: So do you want to give it a quarter point?
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: I gave it no points. What do you want to do.
• 58:56
  Speaker 4: I'm just scraping by here because this is maybe the
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: worst year of bull dictions I had, so I was
• 59:01
  Speaker 4: just trying to find some kind of partial credit. This
• 59:03
  Speaker 4: is like you're failing the chemistry test and you're hoping
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: the teacher gives you points for getting your name right.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: It's like extra credit. Uh Swearve Strickland wins the aw
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: World Championship and the Prince Nana dance takes over social media.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: I gave that a half a point.
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: So what the not a dance didn't take over social
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: media because it kind of did for it for a
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: couple of weeks.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Unless I'm not tapped in there, I don't think it did.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Did it?
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: They literally had not teaching the dance to the guys.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: I'm busted open a couple of weeks ago, So but yeah,
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: I'll take it half a point.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: That's fun, all right, Adam, and I think you were
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: like wasted on this one. Adam Copeland turns heel and
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: teams with Christian Cage to battle FTR for the newly
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: minted aw US Canadian Maple Leaf Brown Sugar tag team titles.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I give that no points. Yeah, I got no points.
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: I would say if Copeland had not broken his leg,
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: that might still want to have happened.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: But the tag team.
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: That was just me making fun of the fact that
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: AW as seventy five titles. But now ww's catching up,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: so I guess I can't critique AW for having so
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 4: many titles when the other brand is doing the same thing.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: The Guns signed with WE side with the Austin Theory
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: and Grayson Waller and formed D Generation Next. While I
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: would have loved that, I gave it no.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: Points, no points, and I feel bad because Austin and
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: Colton are even on TV right now because one of
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: them's hurts.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: Dominic Material wins money the Bank of cashes in on
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Damian Presu Cashion earlier on The Money the Bank Show
