Transcript
- 0:00It's study up. Welcome everybody. Welcome to this Week'sni in the Snow reel
- 0:20to show episode number six hundninety eight for June twenty nine, twenty twenty three.
- 0:27This is the halfway Point Award Show Candidates Mission Now that are t you.
- 0:35We will also preview and predict every three Money in the Bank. I
- 0:38am one half of the show. I am Jeff Pecks. Joined every single
- 0:42week my coast on only Doctor Try Franklin, Doctor Trey. What is up,
- 0:46my friend? Oh? Just like we're talking about fair the other day?
- 0:49Upright the other day vertical Uh, blue skies. Birds are chirping.
- 0:54I got my Jeff. I put out a bird bath. I didn't.
- 0:58I never thought I'd be the guy who would get excited about putting a bird
- 1:00bath in his yard. But yes, there I am. I'm excited that
- 1:03I have a bird bath. Is this what I have to look forward to
- 1:06after the age of like forty? Yeah? Pretty much Like I just got
- 1:11home. I had to I had to run up to the office, and
- 1:12I got back to the house just a few minutes ago. As I'm driving,
- 1:15I'm like, oh, I get my grass needs cutting. I get
- 1:19to cut my grass. Today or today or tomorrow. I'm like, yeah,
- 1:22I'm definitely the old man now that's yelling at clouds because I'm like,
- 1:25I got a bird bath, I get to cut my grass. Is a
- 1:26damn good week for me. Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's guess it's
- 1:30the little things, right that make us excited, or finding that a good
- 1:33deal at the grocery store is what happens after the age of I guess thirty
- 1:38five and up, because it's pretty much yeah, they say, they say
- 1:42it's all downhill, but really it's like no, no, no, Like
- 1:44all the dumb stuff that we did when we were in our twenties and eight,
- 1:47you look back and you're like, yeah, that was fun. I
- 1:49would never do any of that stuff now. Although my wife and I were
- 1:52talking last night and I said, hey, when I turned fifty, I'm
- 1:55going skydiving. So that's that's my next big thing is hearing about now four
- 2:00years is to gho skydike. Yeah. I don't know, man, I
- 2:02don't know if I could do the skydive thing, which is strange coming from
- 2:06a guy who's a firefighter and we'll go up on heights for climbing ladders and
- 2:10roofs and all that, But I'm not I'm not a fan of the whole
- 2:15height thing. My friend, I don't think I could jump out of a
- 2:16plane. No, I'm not a So that's where they're like, I hate
- 2:20ladders. I hate anything where I can't control my fall like that. I
- 2:25don't have a fear of heights. I have a fear of my stupidity causing
- 2:29me to fall. And I think in a controlled environment, I'm okay with
- 2:32it because I get me on top of a thirty story building and look over
- 2:36the edge and I'm fine. But like, if I'm climbing a ladder to
- 2:38get on a roof, I'm like, I'm gonna step off and flip and
- 2:40fall and break my hip. So I think it's the control involved, is
- 2:45why why I'm kind of okay with it. I love that. To you,
- 2:47there's more control jumping out of like a thirty thousand foot plane than there
- 2:53is climbing your roof to clean your gutters or something. Well, once again,
- 2:57I work in the gutter business, so you shouldn't be cleaning out your
- 3:00gutters. You should call me and I can get you taken care of on
- 3:01that. There you go, cheap plugs, right, give the thumbs up
- 3:05while you're doing it, mc foley style. So uh yeah, you know,
- 3:07it's the little things in life. Bird baths, wrestling podcasts, uh,
- 3:13sunny days uh not the wrestler um. Yeah, stuff like that.
- 3:19You know. I guess this for those that are under the age of thirty
- 3:21five, this is what you have to look forward to. Is by listening
- 3:23to two old guys still talking about profession wrestling. We get excited about cutting
- 3:28grass and installing that bird bath to watch you know, Robin just just devour
- 3:34water and get all nice and cool. Oh I got I got happy day
- 3:37pulling in my dryway because we have these baby pigs running around my yard.
- 3:39I was like, is that an armor, dello? And I'm like,
- 3:42no, it's just one of my pigs. Like I never thought of the
- 3:44guy that excited watching baby pigs and ducks run around his yard. So that's
- 3:47another thing you can add to the list. All right, Hey, added
- 3:51we'll have to do this like running thing now where how you could tell you're
- 3:54old. And it's just things that we just ramble off on. It's like,
- 3:58uh, you know that late night infomercial. Yeah, when you make
- 4:00that phone call to buy that heated blanket. Oh man, that makes me
- 4:03so happy. He awaited blankets. Fantastic. See, so we're talking about,
- 4:09folks, this is what we're talking about. We'll do a shopping list
- 4:11towards Christmas time. Speaking at Christmas time, typically around that time frame,
- 4:17the week before in between Christmas and New Year's we always do our award show,
- 4:23and we typically around July fourth time frame, we look at the halfway
- 4:27point of the year and we give some early award show candidates. We don't
- 4:30name out awards, We just give some candidates and we'll pick it back up
- 4:33and in December when we announced the winners. Being that where we're a week
- 4:39earlier than normal from this because I got married this past weekend. These shows
- 4:45have been recorded in advanced in advance of my wedding. So even if there's
- 4:49some stuff that you hear today, maybe a little bit outdated, maybe some
- 4:53stuff that's outdated on the money, the bank side of things. That is
- 4:56why, and that is also why we are not recap and reviewing Forbidden Door
- 5:00from this past weekend as well. We will do that on next week's Editions
- 5:02show when we're back in air. Quotes normal, our normal timeframe. The
- 5:06same thing with money to the bank, so we'll recap review of Money in
- 5:09the bank as well. But I figured, well, we got a little
- 5:12bit of time, let's do some of that special show stuff that made us
- 5:16in the early stages in the early era of SRT that we like to do
- 5:19a lot, and this is one of those shows that we typically do.
- 5:23So we'll go through the award show categories here, Doctor Trey, and we'll
- 5:28look at some candidates here, and I think the best way to start off
- 5:30is with the first award show category that we typically give out, and that
- 5:34is New Story of the Year. Some candidates I have is Vitzikman returning to
- 5:41WWE and basically staging a coupe rumors of a potential w sale to the Saudi
- 5:46Arabia Public Investment Fund, Light the Internet on Fire, WWE actually get sold
- 5:51to endeavor the owners of the UFC aw announcing new Saturday Collision Show and the
- 5:57cmpunk drama overshining the Saturday Collision announcement. So I had about five candidates there
- 6:02when looking back at the the year here at the halfway point, Yeah,
- 6:06those are those are probably my top five as well, and really like Vince
- 6:11coming back. I didn't think anything gets top to that, but then you
- 6:13know the company getting sold right up there with it, the collision, you
- 6:16know, the new show being a noun and then also you doing not only
- 6:19that, but then you know AW getting rid of elevation and dark in favor
- 6:26of a ring of honor YouTube show. Like that's kind of weird, but
- 6:30uh like right out top of my head, those are the top top few
- 6:34I could think of. And then looking at breakout Star of the Year,
- 6:39I have about three candidates, two from WA, one from AW. Right
- 6:42now, I have Dominic Masterio from Raw, Damian Priest from Raw Orange,
- 6:46Cassidy from AW. Let's see dom I'm with Damien with Orange. It is
- 6:54he bigger now than when he was chating with Jericho? Yeah, I mean
- 7:00that's a great question. I felt like him feuding with Jericho back in twenty
- 7:04twenty was kind of circumstance and they wanted to develop him as as a big
- 7:09star, and being that the pandemic was going on, he didn't. He
- 7:13wasn't able to absorb the fanfare that could go around that. I think this
- 7:18International Championship run, I think he's bigger. To answer your question. I
- 7:23do think he's bigger now and has broken up from that, but then they
- 7:27don't put him in the four pillar map. Yeah, which is Lord Chris.
- 7:31I mean, if you actually look at where those everybody is right now,
- 7:34I would say that Orange is probably a bigger He's definitely a bigger star
- 7:38than Jungle Boy, you know. And then arguably, like you know,
- 7:42the Sammy had been booked pretty well for a while leading into that match,
- 7:45I would have had Orange and there were you know, either one of those
- 7:47two. So um, so I can get behind the Orange Cassidy because he's
- 7:50definitely gone up another level. I think you got through. J Uso went
- 7:55in the mix too. That's a good one. I'm gonna have that right
- 7:58now, jay Uso, because I mean, depending on what happened, you
- 8:01know, as we recording the show early, what happened in light in the
- 8:03bank, I mean, it might be Roman and Jay a SummerSlam, and
- 8:07if they do that, that's gonna really put once again put them up on
- 8:09that map on a different level. Yeah. Yeah, I like that addition
- 8:13there. I feel like right now, that's the name I did not consider.
- 8:18I think I think Dominic Masterio and Jay Usso could be the favorites right
- 8:22now for breakout start of the year. I mean I think it's I think
- 8:26it's Dom considering where he was at, what he's what he's done in the
- 8:30last year is on a different level. I mean, he's got like such
- 8:33nuclear eats. I mean it's so good right now, so like Dom's really
- 8:37really the early onto the table. But then again, like I said,
- 8:39depends on what happens with Jay and then you know, heck, in six
- 8:43months, I mean, if we had a good Orange Cassidy mjfud to close
- 8:46out the year, it might jump Orange Cassidy back up the mix. Yeah,
- 8:50yeah, very true. But I think I guess I think we've narrowed
- 8:54it down to those four. I can't. I don't feel like there's anybody
- 8:56else that is standing out to me. I don't know if I Carmel Hayes
- 9:00jumps into there from the NXC side of things, yes, and no,
- 9:05I just think it's on it's I don't want to say it's on a lower
- 9:07level. But you know what Dom and Jay and Damian Priests and Orange Cats
- 9:13you're doing on the big stages, it is still a little bit higher,
- 9:16like a higher plane than what Carmelo's doing in NXC. I mean you also
- 9:20that if you look at ANXCA, then you have to go Tiffany Stratton then
- 9:24mix two because he's come a long way. Yeah, I think some names
- 9:26that we could add over the next six months. I would consider Tiffany Stratton
- 9:31in there. And I just think that Chris Statlander's stock is pretty interesting right
- 9:35now. Yeah, I mean to and to do what they did with having
- 9:39her defeat Jade and in the streak, and then if they can build off
- 9:43of it, great. You know, it's just what you're dealing with.
- 9:46And I don't want to say that the the TBS Championship is lower than the
- 9:50women's championship in aw SO, um unless they can elevator into that feud with
- 9:58you know, the outcast than everybody else and just it's there. But like
- 10:03I mean, she'd be I think she don't. She's maybe a notch above
- 10:07Tiffany Stratton, but I don't think she's in the top four with the other
- 10:11people you mentioned. Sore you go some of the candidates there for breakout Star
- 10:15of the Year, Like the discussion there about some stock on the rise for
- 10:18the last six months of this year, moment of the year. This were
- 10:22this was a pretty tough one. Um. I have Sammy Zaine turning on
- 10:26the Bloodline at the Royal Rumble. I have brock Lesser turning Hell and Cody
- 10:30Roads at the RAF to WrestleMania. I can't believe that's on this list.
- 10:33After we originally discussed that, I got Jimmy Uso turned on the Bloodline and
- 10:37Night of Champions Juso turning on the Bloodline on SmackDown recently to me right now,
- 10:43I think the odds on favor to Sammy Saints moment at the Royal Rumble.
- 10:46But is there anything that that you would add to this list, doctor
- 10:48Trey um Man? Really? Really? I mean, do you put the
- 10:56logan Ricochet logan Paul Ricochet spot from the Rumble in there as a moment of
- 11:01the year if you feel it should be. I personally wouldn't. I think
- 11:05that's more of a spot. Once again, the ones that you've made,
- 11:09well, it's a moment. A moment is a spot. It's so fair.
- 11:13That's that's my my thought process on it. I don't. I mean,
- 11:15it's not up there with the with all the turns on the Bloodline.
- 11:18Um. Yeah, Sammy's the early odds on favorite. But then, I
- 11:22mean, and we talked about it on last week's show, like the fact
- 11:26they kind of put the Jimmy and the Jay turns so close together kind of
- 11:31diminishes it a little bit. Um, maybe Adam Cole coming, you know,
- 11:37making his finally returning to aws up there, because that was a big
- 11:39moment because he'd been gone for so long, and yeah, that wasn't the
- 11:43beginning of this year like that, you know, immediately gets jumped up into
- 11:46the Few with Jericho and then the few you know, the beginning of the
- 11:48Few with him JF that we have going on. Um, that's that's about
- 11:54all the ones I can think of? Are you adding the logan Ricochet?
- 11:58I was there? I mean, because that might have been the biggest,
- 12:01the craziest spot we've seen, Like I mean, I've only seen that like
- 12:07a handful of times in wrestling. That was all in the Independence. I've
- 12:09never seen it on a big stage. Um, but yeah, to me,
- 12:15it's it's the it's the turns we mentioned, and then Adam Cole's returned
- 12:18because once again because we're both Adam colmarked, so you know that's up there.
- 12:24Event of the year. I have wrestle Many thirty nine, the Royal
- 12:28Rumble and Backlash as my favorite shows this year. Are we splitting WrestleMania again
- 12:33this year? We did combined it. We did combine it up for the
- 12:37last couple of years, So okay, Yeah, I mean those are my
- 12:41top three as well. And there's no AW show that I could think of
- 12:46right now, right No, I think I think we've we've looked at our
- 12:50I mean, if you look at the numbers, I think all the AW
- 12:52shows are below those three. Yeah, so we've got AW Revolution It.
- 12:56I gave it a four point two. You give its three point nine AW
- 13:01double or nothing. I gave a three point six, you gave a three
- 13:03point seven. Rumble came in at four point three three, you give it
- 13:07a four point two. Russell Mania Saturday I gave a four point eight,
- 13:11you gave a four point seven. Sunday I gave a four point four.
- 13:16You gave a four point two. Backlash. We both gave a four point
- 13:20two. So the closest would be my rating and Revolution. Yeah, and
- 13:26Revolution. I don't mean outside of Danielson MGF, I don't. I don't
- 13:31remember much from it. I gotta be honest. So yeah, I think
- 13:35I think the ones we mentioned there, I think I think Rumble, uh
- 13:39Mania and Backlash. I mean, the last three pay per views have been
- 13:43really, really good and kind of blown everything else out of water. Right
- 13:48now, it's three hard, It's be hard for anything else. I mean
- 13:50SummerSlam obviously we put they put a lot into Um, it's gonna be hard
- 13:54for anything else the rest of the year to kind of catch up to those
- 13:58three. Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask you. I mean,
- 13:58it's it's dificult to predict, like, oh well, I think this event
- 14:01is going to be a badass, um, but is there anything in the
- 14:05near term. I mean, I agree with you. Summer Slam in Detroit
- 14:07Ford Field, it's probably gonna be a blast. Uh. I think money
- 14:11in the bank this Saturday is going to be a lot of fun on the
- 14:16Wembley Show all in Yeah, Yeah, there's me be a lot writing on
- 14:20that show. So the Wembley Show especially, I mean we're getting Omega Osprey
- 14:24Osprey in Wembley Stadium fighting Omega. That's I mean, the crowd is going
- 14:28mean nuts for that. That's what we're assuming, right, I mean that's
- 14:31an assumption right now. Yeah, I mean, but I mean what I
- 14:35mean if you're if you're running the company, wouldn't that be one of your
- 14:39marquee matchups to have the hometown boy fighting Kitty Omega. I mean that was
- 14:43well. I mean the marquee matchup I would do for all In would be
- 14:46CMFTR versus the elite. I like how you combine that whole? That's what
- 14:52they're calling themselves now real, I didn't I miss that? Okay, yeah,
- 14:54they got the T shirt. I mean to me, I liked that'd
- 14:58be great for Wembley. But at the same time, like like you want
- 15:05that Cardiff moment like you had with Shamus and you had with Drew, because
- 15:09I mean, to have that many people, you gotta get a home you
- 15:11gotta get a hometown guy. I mean, what are you bring poc back
- 15:16to challenge Cassidy? I mean, like they don't have a ton of I
- 15:20mean, they're not a ton of British guys on their roster right now.
- 15:22I mean keep Sabian challenging MJF. You know, like what do you what
- 15:26do you do? So if you want to capitalize on that feel good moment,
- 15:31you gotta put Osprey. I mean, they might do well Osprey and
- 15:33MJFF, who knows. I mean, but you got to capitalize on that
- 15:37crowd. It's like, you know, if if WB was a show in
- 15:41Tokyo, You're gonna have Nakamura in a feature spot. It's just the way
- 15:45it works. Moving along here a few to the year. So some candidates
- 15:50I have, I have Zane and Owens taken on the bloodline, the entire
- 15:52blood line, Cody Rhodes and brock Lessner, which we talked about at length
- 15:56a couple of weeks ago, Ray Mysterio versus Dominic Mysterio, and the Elite
- 16:00versus the Blackpool Combat Club from AW. Those are some few of the years,
- 16:04and there's really been no slam dunk. I would say no. I
- 16:08mean, if you did Sammy versus the Bloodline, maybe you can go that
- 16:14route. But it really has been I mean, because Olmen's was shouting with
- 16:15him first and then Sammy, and then Sammy and Kevin together. I'm trying
- 16:22to think if there's anything else, Like, I mean, AW really hasn't
- 16:26had the marquee feuds other than the one you mentioned with the I mean,
- 16:32I mean, you know, what what's funny is just take a step back,
- 16:34because you made a great point, Like you could make a point that
- 16:37Sammy Zane and the Bloodline is feud of the year their stuff, and then
- 16:41they added Kevin Owens. I think you can make a case that Moxley and
- 16:45Hangman Adam Page is a few of the year for AW so far, even
- 16:48though it started last year. But that also morphed into the Elite versus the
- 16:53Blackpool Combat Club. Yeah, I mean I'm trying to think like like those
- 17:00could still be like the one A one beast for those feuds. Yeah,
- 17:03but I do think the second half of the year we're prime for I mean,
- 17:07MJF really hasn't had a long feud with anybody, you know what happens
- 17:14with Roman and Jay and Jimmy, what about Seth. I mean you've got
- 17:19there's some options on the table at least, Yeah, the second half of
- 17:23the year, so that this is one of those ones where like early we
- 17:26mentioned like it's gonna be hard for anything at top the WrestleMania Grumble backlash shows
- 17:32the rest of the year, but it's also gonna be hard for I mean
- 17:34not hard. It should be easier for a feud to jump into the mix
- 17:40and the second half of the year given that they I mean, Sammy and
- 17:44the blood lines we hard to top, but you know, really it just
- 17:47kind of depends on how far you go down the family civil war within the
- 17:51blood line. The second half of the year. Yeah, I mean,
- 17:52looking at some of the tea leaves right now, Adam Cole versus MJFF has
- 17:56a ton of potential seampunk. His Collision promo teased feuding with MJF again because
- 18:03he never lost the championship. That could be back in there if they decided
- 18:07to go to the punk MJF route for an all in. Who knows,
- 18:12maybe coming off a forbidden door this past weekend, maybe Brian Danielson because because
- 18:17the Chico Okata could be something in there. But there's been really no true
- 18:22slam duncan. I feel like by the end of the like ray Masterio and
- 18:26Dominic Masterio, we really haven't discussed. Like I thought, that was really
- 18:30good feud and it ended basically at WrestleMania, bled a little bit into backlash,
- 18:34but I think by the time we get to December this year, that'll
- 18:37be forgotten about. I think the favorite right now maybe I think it maybe
- 18:45Zane and Owens versus the Bloodline or Cody and Brock, depending on how that
- 18:48goes for the rest of the summer. Yeah, and then he still got
- 18:52the CMTR and the Elite cross Paths and anyway, because if that happens,
- 18:59that'll be jump up because you get all the backstory intrigue as well. So
- 19:03that's why I'm saying it's like, you know, Zane and the Bloodlines to
- 19:07me the early favorite, but if you get Punk, Omega FTR, you
- 19:12know in the Bucks all mixed together, that could really jump up quickly.
- 19:17Just looking at the history, the last two feud of the Years from me
- 19:21were in last year was Punk and m jeffrom AW. The year prior was
- 19:25Jericho and mjffrom a w for you. Last year, Doctor Trey, it
- 19:29was Cody and Seth from WA, then Jericho and MGF from AW in twenty
- 19:33twenty one. I always felt like, or have felt like since it launched,
- 19:38that feuds were a staple for all lad wrestling, and I think that
- 19:44they've they've kind of lost that way a little bit. That disappoints me.
- 19:47I love those long, long term feuds that they've that they've done in the
- 19:51past, and I think the closest thing we've gotten is that Elite Blackpool Combat
- 19:56Club. They still got six months to salvage it if they want to throw
- 19:59a few in there at some point, but I feel like that's something that's
- 20:02been missing from AW lately. I felt like a Few of the Year was
- 20:06like an AW owned category for for some time on this podcast. Yeah,
- 20:10I mean, really, the only thing I could think of an AW this
- 20:12year is Danielson and MJF. Yeah, you know, and that was short.
- 20:17That was a short one, but you know, that was something we
- 20:19talked about. MJF kind of needed, but that was it was short because
- 20:22they turned Daniels and Eel right after it, so you didn't get to see
- 20:26a play out anymore. I mean, really, MJFF hasn't had that.
- 20:30That's the thing, Like you look at yours, the last two fews involved
- 20:33MJFF. He really hasn't done anything long term so far this year, So
- 20:37I don't know if they're building to something for him or something big on the
- 20:41pipeline. But you know, you've got to have a great talker sometimes for
- 20:45these fews to really play out, and you know they're kind of not using
- 20:49MJF in that role right now, what about Omega and Takashka slash don Callis,
- 20:55Do you think that has some potential for a few of the years stuff?
- 20:57It has potential because Callus has so much heat right now, but like
- 21:03once again, it's kind of hit and miss, so it kind of depends
- 21:07on how like right now, like you know, we're talking about Forbidden Door,
- 21:10it's Omega and Osprey and then you know, you start heading towards the
- 21:12whimbley shows, like are they going to do Omega and you know, Takashita
- 21:18there or are they saving it for something else? Because at some point you
- 21:22have to kind of build off of it, and I know right now they're
- 21:26trying to build Takashita up more to make it be credible when they finally square
- 21:32off. But you know, are you losing a little bit the luster the
- 21:36longer this goes until they finally touch Yeah, it's interesting. It's still no
- 21:40slam dunks, which is great for the rest of the year, but we'll
- 21:44see by the end of this year if it's like, well, that was
- 21:45a tough one to call. There really wasn't many feuds and that's what makes
- 21:48Resting so great. I felt like its feuds and storylines, and there's really
- 21:52been none in the short amount of time recently that have really stood out.
- 21:56There have been some good good stuff right and the Bloodline was fantastic. Rhodes
- 22:02and Lesner has been fantastic, but that's kind of on on ice right now.
- 22:04Ray MASTERI and dominic Masterio is behind us. Elite in Blackpool Combat Club
- 22:08have done some really good stuff, but it's not the normal AW feuds that
- 22:12were typical typically used to so a category certainly to keep it. Keep an
- 22:18eye on here for the rest of twenty twenty three, because it'll be December
- 22:21before we know it, and we'll be talking about actual winners the next time
- 22:26we look at these categories. Next category here is matched the year. Some
- 22:32candidates I have is Rita Ripley versus Charlotte Flair from Resume at thirty nine,
- 22:36gun Through versus Shamus versus Drew McIntyre from Resume Any thirty nine, Bianco Bellair
- 22:41versus EO Sky from Backlash, MJF versus Brian Danielson from AW Revolution, And
- 22:47despite my disdain for them pushing this down our throats, I'm gonna throw in
- 22:52MJF, Sammy Gavara, Darby Allen Jungle Boy from aw Double or Nothing.
- 22:56I know, I know that was a good fatal four way. I still
- 23:03throw in Kevin and Sammy versus the USOS as well. I really enjoy um
- 23:10trying to think, I mean, those are the ones off the top of
- 23:12my head, I really, I mean trying to think if there's anything else
- 23:17that kind of jumps up in that category. But I loved Ray Masterio versus
- 23:22Dominic was teried Restument thirty nine. Yeah, but it got overshadowed so much
- 23:26by you know, the other matches, like I mean, Ria and Charlotte,
- 23:30Kevin, you know, and then Kevin Sammy and the USOS to me
- 23:33were two better matches than that one. So that's why I kind of gets
- 23:38not pushed to the side, but you know, almost kind of like,
- 23:41yeah, that was great too, But did you see Rha and Charlotte?
- 23:45Did you see Owen's in Zane in the Bloodline? So Rollins and Logan Paul
- 23:48was really good from and then even though people hated the finish, Cody and
- 23:53Roman was really good. It was that was a very good match, yes,
- 23:56so um and then even Damien Priests and Bad Bunny at Backlash. That
- 24:02was a good match. Yeah. So I mean there's there's several candidates,
- 24:06so it's just there's some of these matches you want me add to the list.
- 24:08I added Kevin Owens to Sammy's Da Versus of Theosis to the list.
- 24:12Definitely that one. I mean the Bad Bunny Damien pres was just so much
- 24:17fun. You want me to add that, I would, all right,
- 24:18let's out, it's that's up there. Um, But then I'm trying to
- 24:25think. I mean m JF and Danielson was really good too. Yeah.
- 24:29I had that on my list as this as well. Yeah, so that's
- 24:32on there. I don't think anything any damis topped that one so far this
- 24:36year though, So just MJFF and Danielson, you're saying, yeah, yeah,
- 24:38yeah, I would. I would agree. I would put I put
- 24:41the fatal four away behind that match. Um, I felt like Danielson MJFF
- 24:48was pretty good too. Yeah. So all right, match of the Year
- 24:52candidates. And then you know, as we look forward here towards the rest
- 24:55of the year, some matches that have potential, like whatever Roman ends up
- 24:57doing. I mean we have no Roman Rains match on here, which is
- 25:02kind of surprising. Um, you gotta figure maybe Cody versus Brock at SummerSlam
- 25:07if I end up going with that bull rope match could be fallen on this
- 25:10list. Yeah. Actually no Cody match on here as well, and he's
- 25:14one of my favorite in ring performers right now. Um yeah, like I
- 25:18said, like we're talking earlier, if we have if we happen to get
- 25:21a Punk Omega, you know, obviously, if that, if that comes
- 25:25to fruition and those guys perform at the levels they're capable of, I mean
- 25:29you could possibly get an FTR Bucks match in there as well if those if
- 25:33that comes to fruition. Um, you know, if you get Jay and
- 25:37Roman in SummerSlam or somehow you get the Rock in Roman, like that might
- 25:42jump up the list a bit too. I mean, hell, we had
- 25:45Match of the Year Lack a couple of years ago, was you know Owens
- 25:48in in um it's maybe Owens and Steve Auston. So if you get the
- 25:52Rock in Roman, you will get the nostalgia. Plus you know, Romans
- 25:56a fantastic worker. So yeah, cool stuff, cool stuff ahead here,
- 26:00So somebody to keep an eye on for Match of the Year for the rest
- 26:03of twenty twenty three. Next category is Tag Team of the Year. Some
- 26:07candidates I have. I feel like there's like this top tier, then it's
- 26:11it's kind of everybody else, Um, Sammy's Andy, Kevin Owens, the
- 26:15USO's FTR, and then kind of the rest of the field. Um,
- 26:19I put them below those three. I just named that being the Guns and
- 26:23the Acclaimed for a w Yeah, that's why I had to. I had
- 26:29to claim, like you mentioned the top three, and then I have the
- 26:30Acclaimed fourth and the Guns fifth. So, um, I'm trying to think
- 26:36if there's anybody else, Like nobody really in WWE has kind of jumped up,
- 26:41even in even though they've done a good job of the Tag teams division
- 26:44lately. You could say Gallus Gallus has been good. Yeah, you want
- 26:48me to put them on the list. I mean they've had a strong run
- 26:51as NXC Tag Team Champions. Yeah, Um, INDEPENDENT mean right now,
- 26:56like there's you look at the tag teams in NXC and like they've already beat
- 27:00the Creed Brothers and pretty deadly is on the main roster right now. So
- 27:03I mean they could have these belts for the next six months and I wouldn't
- 27:07be surprised. Is there any other tag teams that come to mind? Because
- 27:11I actually want to go back to a category because as we were doing the
- 27:14show, I was like, oh man, I think we forgot some people.
- 27:17Uh no, I'm good. So if we go back to Breakout Starr
- 27:19of the Year, I have two names I want to add and Jack Well,
- 27:23we'll discuss this openly here. Let me know if you think we should
- 27:26add these names. So Breakout Star of the Year, La Night. There's
- 27:33someone that stock is on the rise that you're like, all right, keep
- 27:36an eye on them. Yeah, his stocks on the rise. He's still
- 27:38having to recover from the bray Wyatt stuff. Fair, fair, It depends
- 27:44on it depends on the money in the bank performance. So like a Chris
- 27:47stat Lander, we're saying stocks on the rise for La Knight potentially for that
- 27:49category, and then go ahead. I would say stat Landers would be higher
- 27:56to me than La Knight because she actually won something interesting. But I mean,
- 28:00nobody is getting that sincere pop like La Night is I feel like right
- 28:06now, no, he's fun and people love fun, so um, but
- 28:11like how like I don't know, like if he if he were to fight
- 28:17Roman. If they would say, hey, Friday Night, I SmackDown La
- 28:19Night Roman rights, right, would anybody buy in that La n I had
- 28:23a chance. Yeah, And that's what I just don't think he's got to
- 28:26that level of credibility yet where he's looked at as a viable competitor for a
- 28:33main event picture type thing. I don't want to give away too much of
- 28:37my predictions right now, but I just have a feeling that coming out of
- 28:40money the Bank heading into SummerSlam, I wouldn't be surprised if they start to
- 28:45turn La Night baby face and the person that he fews with is Logan Paul.
- 28:49Like, if there's someone that can turn La Night baby face, it's
- 28:53it's Logan Paul. Yeah, now that that would make a ton of sense.
- 28:57That'd be fun. I mean, Logan Paul's got like almost got the
- 29:02dominant heat, but that could turn you know, L A. Knight.
- 29:07I don't. The only thing that l. A. Knight is is kind
- 29:11of like he's so likable as a heel. It's kind of like that when
- 29:15Miss had his really strong heel run, where you and I were like,
- 29:18this is fantastic. This is the best thing going right now. And then
- 29:21they turned him baby face and it just felt flat. I kind of I
- 29:25don't think you have to change him all that much, to be honest with
- 29:27you, Yeah, but they always tinker a little too much. And that's
- 29:32my only worries that they tinker too much and he loses his coldness factor to
- 29:36it. It's kind of like the Seth thing, like Seth's and then they
- 29:38just let him. They let him run and the baby face in it was
- 29:41worked because they haven't changed anything about it. Sometimes they start tinkering with it
- 29:47or guys feel like they have to do something different and it loses his coolness
- 29:51factor to it. I think the only thing would be that they're like,
- 29:53like La Night is going to go through the Rocks blueprint for turning baby face
- 29:57from ninety eight ninety nine. I think it would be that's the closest thing
- 30:02that is similar um and then just the other name I want to add to
- 30:03breakouts HARTHI year. Potentially we have to have this as a as a team
- 30:07meeting here. How do you feel about Wesley nxt um or is he on
- 30:14the cusp as he's someone has stocked I like it. You know, Miley
- 30:18will worry about Wesley is always the size, you know, like Canty,
- 30:22But dude, we love Dominic right now. But Dominic's bigger than Wesley,
- 30:27I mean Westley, I mean size or popularity, actual size, because at
- 30:33some point, like can you put Wesley in the ring with broun Breaker and
- 30:38make it look like, make it look like he's got a shot, you
- 30:44know? I mean he's one hundred and fifty five one hundred and sixty pounds
- 30:47tops, is he? Yeah? Dude, I like he's he's five he's
- 30:51like five eight one sixty like, so he shredded. I mean it's literally
- 30:56because I know the guy that I've stood next to him, and when I
- 30:59said actually him four years ago, I had probably almost one hundred pounds well
- 31:03probably close to like fifty pounds on the guy and I was two inches dollar.
- 31:07So it's just I love the kid. He's fantastic, The crowd loves
- 31:12him. He's always gonna be that perpetual underdog, and so it could work,
- 31:17but you would need him in a few with braun Breaker to really make
- 31:19him jump up to the next level, because you have to make it look
- 31:22like there's he has no shot in hell and somehow pulls it out, all
- 31:26right, So so someone to think there. I feel like maybe La and
- 31:29I definitely has some potential. Maybe maybe not with Wesley for the breakouts are
- 31:33candidate, Yeah you're saying here, he just I mean the feud with like
- 31:38the few with Dijack was good, but like if you had that feud with
- 31:41Dijack and they had the last man's standing match like Di Jack had with Dragonoff,
- 31:47it's a different story. It's just he's doing so many multi man matches
- 31:51that he can sneak out victories, but like you need to see him kind
- 31:56of it's three. It's kind of like the Cody Rose that we talked about
- 31:59last year. He that one on one big obstacle to overcome to really cement
- 32:05everything and move them up the next level. Let's look at next candidates here
- 32:09for female Wrestler of the Year. So my candidates are Ria Ripley, Bianca
- 32:14Belair, Jamie Hayder. Do you leave Tony Storm out just because she's part
- 32:20of the group. I leave Tony Storm out right now because I think she's
- 32:23she's building up per year. I also leave Oscar out right now because I
- 32:29feel like she's building up per year. I wouldn't be shocked if Tony or
- 32:32Osca fall into those potential candidates for the end of this year. I mean,
- 32:37right now, for me, it's Ria and everybody else exactly. I
- 32:40think this is Ria Ripley's it's a ward to lose. Yeah. What do
- 32:45you think about Jamie Hayter though? Do you think she falls in that you
- 32:47know, strong candidate list, Yes, but it's it's a distant second,
- 32:54like I have her above Bianca right now, and then also we don't know
- 33:00how long she's gonna be out for true, So like I mean, if
- 33:02she's out, if it's if she's back in a month and she has a
- 33:05strong second half, she can jump right back up there. But if she's
- 33:07out three or four months, she's gonna fall down the list. Um male
- 33:13rest of the year some candidates, I have I five of them, Roman
- 33:15Rains, Cody Rhodes, M JF. Gunther, and Sammy Zane. And
- 33:21I think this field is potentially wide open. Again, I think Cody right
- 33:25now is my favorite. But I think this is a very open field.
- 33:30See right now, Like I like, I have Seth like right up at
- 33:32the very top. That's true. I always forget Seth. Yeah, I
- 33:36mean that's a guy who's actually won this award twice from us. We don't
- 33:39take it for granted sometimes, Um damn. I'm trying to think if there's
- 33:46anybody else I can really jump up the list. I mean it kind of
- 33:49depends on what they do. Is probably like Daniels said, have the great
- 33:52match of MJF and if he has a great match of the COATA, but
- 33:53then if he's constantly loot like do like do wins and losses matter in this
- 33:59category to it? Agree? Because I mean to a degree I think they
- 34:02do. I mean it really matter. I mean, I mean, who
- 34:07is Danielson in that vein I mean vein of Male rest of the year right
- 34:12now? I don't think so unfortunately. Yeah, I just want to think
- 34:15of people on a W side outside because really, outside of MJF, nobody's
- 34:19had a i mean strong run in AW. I would argue Orange Cassidy,
- 34:25but that's where he goes into my breakout star category. But he's also competing
- 34:31against I don't want to say, the lower tier of AW but definitely the
- 34:35middle tier of AW. Yeah, it's the workhorses, yeah, but like
- 34:38nobody in the upper level outside of MJF and even MGF Wressell sparingly has had
- 34:45a strong run. But that's the Roman approach. You know. Roman has
- 34:47a wrestsell of ton either, but his presence overshadows everything. Yeah, to
- 34:55me, it's Cody Roman, Gunther, Seth, m JF and who else
- 35:00did you mentioned? I meant, well, I did not. I just
- 35:04said that he falls into my breakout. Sorry, I did, Roman,
- 35:07Code, m Jeff gone through, Sammy Zane. You added Seth, Freak
- 35:09and Rollins to the list? Yeah, yeah, like really, that's that's
- 35:13the top that I can think of. Yeah, and I think people on
- 35:15the rise, I think obviously see him Punk could be in this discussion by
- 35:19the end of the year, um, depending on where he goes. Kenny
- 35:23Omega as always, John Moxley as always. But I feel like those are
- 35:27probably the top six right now, at this halfway point of twenty and twenty
- 35:30three. I can't think of anybody else, to be honest with you.
- 35:32So do you push Dominic down a little bit because the win loss records are
- 35:37not great for for what male wrestler of the year. I mean, he's
- 35:42got more heat and gets a larger crowd rerection than just about anybody else dom
- 35:46does not. I don't put him in male rest of the Year category.
- 35:49By the way, how I think he is he's a breakout star because that's
- 35:52somebody that we just did not think would ever become who he has became becoming.
- 35:59If if they if him and Cody have a great match at Money in
- 36:02the Bank and Dominic somehow wins, it's it's gonna push him up that ladder.
- 36:09Yeah, I just don't. I don't think he's in the Roman Cody
- 36:15MGF got through, Sammy Z and Seth Freak and Rollins category, you know.
- 36:19I mean, I think Finn Balor and Damian Priest looking at Judgment Day
- 36:22are higher on that list than he is right now. Yeah, we'll see.
- 36:28I'd actually put Dominic over Finn right now. I think Finn had That's
- 36:34the one thing we talked about and we'll bring it up when we talk about
- 36:36the Money the Bank. Fin has been kind of the guy who takes the
- 36:39losses when Judgment Day loses. So, I mean, Damien took the pin
- 36:44recently, which was surprising, but I think they kind of spread that out
- 36:49a little bit. I think I think Finn's could be on the rise.
- 36:52Um. Yeah, and the Finn Edge stuff we actually failed to mention for
- 36:57few to the year, and I think maybe the way that ended and Edge
- 37:00not beyond on television each week is something that we've kind of forgotten about.
- 37:02I mean, Edge and Finn Valor was not a bad feud either. Yeah,
- 37:07and that's one of those It's kind of like a if you have a
- 37:09fire and then the fire goes out for a little bit, but then it
- 37:12pops up somewhere else. That's what it kind of reminds me of when it
- 37:15comes to a feud, and you kind of understand that being you know,
- 37:19Fireman, True True rest in promotion of the year. So we always spread
- 37:22this out. So we look at NXT, SmackDown and Raw as their own
- 37:25separate promotion because that's how they're booked. I know, right now we're the
- 37:30early infancy stages. There's a brand new show for AW with Collision, and
- 37:34there's Dynamite. The belief is, and maybe this has already been announced by
- 37:37the time this podcast drops, that there is going to be a brand split,
- 37:39but for the purposes of this discussion today, still keeping AW as its
- 37:45own soul promotion because we've not heard if there is an actual brand split between
- 37:50the two. With that set for me my rest in promotion of the year,
- 37:53I would put SmackDown one, Raw two, and I don't think anybody
- 37:58else holds a candle to the wrest of them unfortunately. Yeah, Like it's
- 38:02it's a weird This is a weird one for me, And it says because
- 38:06you have the upper tier of what SmackDown does, the bloodline stuff, but
- 38:12then you have the depth of quality on Raw. So it's kind of like
- 38:15do you go for the star power or do you go for the depth?
- 38:19And like, right now, I do think the bloodline storyline has helped elevate
- 38:22Raw RB elevate SmackDown above Raw, but I think Raw has more compelling television
- 38:30the entire course of the show than SmackDown does. So I still have SmackDown
- 38:34slightly ahead of Raw, and then I have AW coming in third rate.
- 38:38Um, and then finally our STU Wrestler of the Year. Um. You
- 38:43know some of the names that we had there was Roman Rains, Cody Rhodes,
- 38:46MJF Gunther, Seth Freak and Rollins, Ria Ripley, Bianca Belair,
- 38:52Jamie Hayter. Those are some of the candidates that we've had for them the
- 38:55two other categories for male and female Wrestlers of the Year. For me,
- 39:00Doctor Trey, Like, if it was today, if somebody was like,
- 39:02all right, who's your srt U Rush or the Year, I think I
- 39:06would give it to Rea Ripley. Yeah, it was coming down to Ria
- 39:09and Sammy for me. And I think Sammy's lost a little steam since WrestleMania,
- 39:15which might pull him down a little bit. Um. But yeah,
- 39:19I have Riya, Sammy and in Roman. It's kind of like my rankings
- 39:22right now. I think I would go Ria, Cody Roman. Yeah,
- 39:28I think I think I think I would put Cody up there ahead of sam
- 39:31and Roman as well. I mean, and I love I think's been great.
- 39:37I guess if you go off the actual timeline, because I'm still I
- 39:40guess in my head, I'm still counting elimination Chamber into the mix. Yeah,
- 39:44no, no, count everything in there, count the whole first year.
- 39:46Yeah, if you go from January, which is the rumble through now,
- 39:51yeah, maybe Cody jumps ahead of Sammy there for me, so I
- 39:55can see that point. I would that I would probably go Ria, Roman,
- 40:00Cony Sammy. Yeah, but we both agree that Rhea is the favor
- 40:06right now, which is fantastic. I mean, she's getting a bigger response
- 40:08than anybody is, and she's a heel and she's getting cheered in most venues
- 40:13right now. It's crazy how popular she is. Yeah, no, it's
- 40:15it's it's really really cool to see and I'm very very happy for and she
- 40:19deserves that that recognition right now. So if this was if this was what
- 40:23the hell is the last Thursday in December this year, and let's say,
- 40:27folks stand by last Thursday, last show the year is supposed to be on
- 40:30December the twenty eighth, If this was December twenty eighth, twenty twenty three,
- 40:35Doctor Try and I both would be given her SRT rest of the year
- 40:37to read Ripley right now. So yeah, massive props her. She's had
- 40:42a phenomenal year and hopefully he continues that way for the rest of this year.
- 40:45Um. All right, so there's there's the halfway award show candidates.
- 40:49Doctor Try not bad. I think that was a lot of fun looking back
- 40:52at the first six months of the year. Yeah, I mean, people
- 40:53get a little bit of a peak behind our thought process when we do these
- 40:57award shows. So it was compelling radio. If you want to get a
- 41:01sneak peek into the mind of Jeff Peck and Trey Franklin. Yeah, which
- 41:05sometimes people really don't want to get into. But that's how we are.
- 41:07All right. Let's wrap this up with our Money the Bank previewing predictions.
- 41:12It comes to us this Saturday from the O two Arena in London, England.
- 41:15Let's start with the men's Money the Bank Ladder match for a men's championship
- 41:19match. You of Ricochet, Shinski, Nakamura, La Night, Santos Escobar,
- 41:22Butch Damian Priests and the newly added Logan Paul. I'll go first,
- 41:28Doctor Trey. I kind of tip my hand earlier. At one point I
- 41:30thought it was gonna be La Night, but I'd set this feeling that maybe
- 41:32La and Night in Logan Paul is a matchup that we may see at SummerSlam.
- 41:37I think Logan Paul's addition to this match will add to something for SummerSlam.
- 41:43I think the closest could be La Night. I think you could also
- 41:45make a case for Ricochet as well. But with that said, I had
- 41:50originally picked La and n I, but I think I'm gonna go with Damian
- 41:53Priest to win the men's Money in the Bank Ladder match, Doctor Trey,
- 41:57So I'm gonna go with Damien Priest. Yeah. I've gone kind of back
- 42:01and forth on this one, mainly because you have a baby faced champion on
- 42:06Raw and you still have a heel champion SmackDown, and typically the heels usually
- 42:10win this, and if you're doing an actual brand split, the best heel
- 42:16is on the show is Damian Priest, and I think that could cause some
- 42:21in fighting within the within judgment day. I mean, we've seen a little
- 42:24bit of alluding to that. So I'm with you. I'm gonna lean Damian
- 42:29Priests as well for money in the Bank, although Damian Priest would be one
- 42:34and then La Night would be two. So I'm with you on that Women's
- 42:37Money in the Bank ladder match. For a women's championship match, we have
- 42:40Zelena Vega, Becky Lynch, Zoey Stark, Bailey, or Shotzi. So
- 42:45you can kind of see where we're recording this podcast now an EO Sky Entra
- 42:50Stratus, Doc Trey, Let's start with you. Who do you like winning
- 42:52the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match. Oh, this one's really really
- 42:55tricky, um, because you once again you have Heels technically Heels as the
- 43:02champions on both shows. So, uh, I think I'm gonna take EO
- 43:09Sky right now. Yeah, I'm I'm I'm taking EO Sky because I think
- 43:15Eo and Oscar would be really great, a really great match and then also
- 43:17help elevate you know, the Japanese performers on SmackDown. So I think I
- 43:22think I'll lean EO Sky right now, and I'm gonna take EO Sky as
- 43:25well. Um. I looked at this, I was like, what would
- 43:28be a really fun matchup? Similar thoughts at EO Sky Oscar would be a
- 43:30lot of fun. Who would most benefit from winning this match? Whose stock
- 43:35is on the rise that's in this match? And I feel like the person
- 43:38with that would be EO Sky. So I know EO Sky is a triple
- 43:44H girl. He likes her performances, as do I as a wrestling fan,
- 43:46So both of us going with EO Sky to win the women's Money in
- 43:50the Bank ladder match. Next match is Cody Road taken on Dominic Masterio.
- 43:53I'll start Doctor Trey. You don't have Cody in this match unless Brock was
- 43:59making an appearance, it call the match for him to take the l So
- 44:01I'm gonna take Cody Rhodes defeating Dominic Mysterio. Yeah. My thought pres was
- 44:07is were they gonna fly? Can they fly Brock to London? Try?
- 44:13I'm just picking Brock on a flight from like Manitoba all the way to London
- 44:17and him just being cranky. Um, I'm taking Cody as well. Although
- 44:22it I would say the Brock part of it would lean like help elevate the
- 44:29SummerSlam stuff if they went that route, but right now on paper, not
- 44:32thinking that Brock would go all they to London, I'll take Cody. Next
- 44:36matches Seth Freaking Rollins defending the w W World of Aoide Championship against Finn Balor
- 44:40Trey. Who do you like in this one? Uh? Well, you
- 44:43picked Damian priest to win money in the bank. And although maybe that might
- 44:45be a fun storyline that hey, if it finns the champ, can Damian
- 44:50cash in on him at any moment? But I just think the better television
- 44:53is plus you gotta keep the belt on Seth for a little bit. So
- 44:57I'm gonna take Seth three teen. I really want to pick Finn Valler to
- 45:00win this one based on my Money the Bank prediction as well, but and
- 45:04being a fan of Fin as well. But I'm gonna go with Seth Freak
- 45:06and Rollins. I think it would be way too soon from to drop the
- 45:08championship, but they are making it pretty compelling heading into this match for Money
- 45:13in the Bank, and then that takes us into presumably the main event.
- 45:16It's the Bloodline Civil War tag team match as the Bloodline of Roman Rains and
- 45:21Solosico take on the USOS. I'm going to take Roman, Reins and Solosko
- 45:25getting the victory and defeating the USOS at Money in the Bank. Doctor Trey,
- 45:31Yeah, this one maybe. I I'm trying to think if I want
- 45:37to go different, just because we've picked everything the same so far and I'm
- 45:40trailing you on the year. So it's either go along with this and maintain
- 45:45or take a chance where we just had Roman and Solo lose at Backlash.
- 45:52So I will take Roman and Solo getting the wind as well. By the
- 45:55way, if Damian Priest wins Money of the Bank and they do freebird rules
- 46:00with the Money the Bank briefcase to any never judgment dayca cash in at any
- 46:04time, that would be interesting. I don't believe they can, but that
- 46:07would be very interesting and intriguing storyline. So like Dominic steals the briefcase and
- 46:12goes in cashes in. Yeah, yeah, that'd be pretty funny, very
- 46:15weird and funny at the same time. And then Damien didn't know about it
- 46:17either. Yeah, all right, so both of us taking the Bloodline to
- 46:22win the Bloodline Civil War. And those are all the matches that we know.
- 46:24If there have been matches that have been announced since we've recorded this show,
- 46:28we'll obviously recap and review them on next week's edition of the podcast.
- 46:31But like I said at the jump there, we're pre recording these a little
