Speaker 1 (00:01):
There is a scenario where he could win, and he says,
every championship match is my last. If I lose, I'm out.
If I win, I'm in. And I'm not going to
be under contract. I'm just gonna be your ae W champion.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Shut up? Bouts, I hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Welcome to sanctioned Thursdays, arestling with ready.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to unsanctioned Thursdays. Let's start the show.
It's prediction time, mister Die prediction.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Are you ready to make the people some money?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I got my h I got my crystal ball ready,
It's all locked and loaded.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I've been doing terrible at this, so let's see if
my crystal ball can get better.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
There's one that's going to be impossible for me to pick,
and so I'm just gonna kind of like ABC D
it so, but I'll be I'll be transparent about which
one that is. But outside of that, I feel highly
confident that I can call the whole card. How confident
are you feeling right now?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Not very Here's the thing, like Jeff Die varies when
it comes to wrestling. You know, I'll be like watching
so much WWE, watching little videos about WWE, and then like,
because of that, AW doesn't get as much as my focus.
And then there'll be other times where I'm watching so
much AEW and so much Internet about AW and then
(01:39):
WWE kind of fades a little.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So I'm in my WWE phase.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't have to travel every week and entertain people
and make them laugh, so I have way more time
to watch wrestling. Don't worry, I got you covered. Here
we go. Chris Jericho, the ft for the world is
such an a whole thing to just change somebody's championship.
Chris Jericho champion versus Hook. This is a very easy,
(02:04):
easy prediction for me to make. This story has been
anti Hook pro The Learning Tree almost called him the
Giving Tree. He's giving. He's very giving.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's that's what the Learning Tree is.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, he's a giver. They have been all over Hook.
They practically kill Somemo Joe. They killed my man what's
the Japanese guy's name, Shabata. They killed Shabata or killed
his arm anyway, drove some ojo through a wall, burnt
out Hook's eye. He's still he last week and and
Dynamite said, I I can't even see out of my eyes,
(02:37):
so a bitch, and I did it just like that.
It was it was money and a little better than mine.
And to me, the only way this story ends in
London is with everyone's favorite Hook going over and beating
Chris Jericho and becoming once again the real FTW champion.
(02:58):
Oh for the world, bullshit it, but yeah, So that's
that's why I pick I pick Hook defeats Chris Jericho.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
How about you, sir, I am gonna go against you
and pick Chris Jericho.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Don't you want to win once?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Joe, Well, then we'd be tying on the pick if
I if I pick Cook. Yeah, so I'm gonna pick
Chris Jericho. He's the current one. Maybe we can get
more story out of this. Maybe we can drag it
on longer. I've been enjoying watching You just want Taz
to get into ball, that's what you are.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We went, well, where's he been? You know, help out
your boy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
From the ring where anytime Chris comes out because Chris
is afraid of him, you know you might.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You gotta flex those Taz muscles. So I'm going Chris Jericho.
Keep this feud going all right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Next up is the impossible one for me to pick
one because I don't even know who they're wrestling yet.
It's the Young Bucks, the Tag Team Champions, the World
Tag Team Champions versus either the Acclaimed or FTR or
the Acclaimed and FTR. But I don't know. So the
only thing I know for certain is the two dudes
that are going to be in the match named the
(04:05):
Young Bucks, right, I know they're gonna be in the
match no matter what. So I'm picking the Young Bucks
to win. But do not go with me on this
unless you already know who they're going against and you're like,
oh yeah, Young Bucks. They're not dropping them yet, so
that's why.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I don't know who they're going against. But I am
I allowed to pick the field.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You can take the field yet the.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Field Young Bucks. I'm not a huge fan of the
Young Bucks. I never have been a fan of the
Young Bucks. The Young Bucks are gonna be like my
miz of aw like once they have been doing it
for thirty years, I'll have to be the guy that's like,
I'll give it to him. They've always been around, all right,
They've earned my res so I'm gonna pick the field,
(04:46):
and I love the acclaimed, so I hope it's there.
Everybody loves the acclaimed, all awesome. Next step the Trios Championships,
the World Trios Championships.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The patriot. This is an easy pick, the patriarchy versus
another field, Jeff, And as as smart as the field
pick was, I don't think it's gonna play this time.
I don't see anybody beating the genius mind of Christian
Cage the Patriarchy. He's got help his lady. The Patriarch
shall come in with the hairs of the aquinet, skit
(05:17):
you in the eyes. Maybe she gets a lighter like
we do in the eighties, and oh yeah, I love
that burn that shit. You know you might get another
fireball there. So I think they're gonna have some Shenanigans.
And the Patriarchy beats the field, that means they beat
everyone else in ae W what.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, you know it's funny, you say.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
When I was a teenager, the local grocery stores would
be like, why is this young boy buying so much hairspray?
And it's because I love fire and I love it.
For this, it's an easy, no brainer pick for Jeff. Dye.
I've always been a straight white male, and I've always
loved the patriarchy. I'm picking the patriarchy. It's never failed Mignet,
(05:58):
and it won't fail me at.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This event either.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So here we go, Jeff Dine picking the patriarchy, and
you can bet on it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah you could. You could take that shit to the bank.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Next up is Jack Perry, the champion, the TNT champion.
Because our man Edge got hurt. Hope Edge gets well
soon comes back and whip your ass Jack Perry. But
right now he's fighting Darby all Yeah, tell you that's
our boy, Jack Perry versus Darby Allen in a coffin match.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The champion has certain advantages,
(06:31):
but in a coffin match, what the fuck? His advantages
go out the window. And Darby Allen is kind of
a coffin kind of dude. He does the coffin drop.
I've seen him land on a coffin dented and practically
break his spine like a like a cannon of pringles.
So I would assume he has the advantage. That said,
(06:52):
Jack Perry's evil. He changed his music. It's more dramatic,
he's he's he takes his hair band out much more
really used to. That shows a lot of evil, and
I think he's gonna do something evil in this match
and he's going to get to win. Remember it wasn't
so long ago that he was the one that was
gonna get lit on fire by Darby. I feel like,
because he took that one and had to look like
(07:14):
the victim in that one, that he's gonna get it
up on him this time. So I'm picking Jack Perry.
That's my philosophy behind it. Anyway to beat Darby Allen
in the coffin match for the TNT Championship. I know
you're going the opposite direction and you're gonna be wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, our little cave boy has really grown up to
become the grumpy band gang Jack Perry. You know, pist,
You and everybody not a fan don't like it, thundersized
under I don't need him.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't I like a Darby Allen.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And the simple fact that it's a coffin match makes
me go, hey, this is a no brainer. When Darby
Allen you just referenced it against a swerve, when he
just literally threw his whole body on his swarf's hand
was still out of the little thing.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It was amazing, big fan.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
If I'm betting with my heart, I picked Darby Allen
because he's cooler. I like him better. He's cooler, and
it's a coffin match. However, I'm gonna bet with my
brain and I think Jack Perry Wentz.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Coming to the dark side. That's my brain, my heart
making money, all right. Next Tony Storm versus maybe my
(08:39):
new favorite guest, Mariah May, super friggin smart, crazy eye
for the business plan this, this destruction of Tony Storm
from day one. Still keeps the bloody shoe in her
bag when she travels, just to remind her how the
hell could she lose this match in front of her
(08:59):
own peace? Are you kidding me? Now? I know some
of you were thinking, well, wait a minute, that's the
perfect time to lose. No, no, no, no no. Tony's
had a long time with the championship, a very long
time with the championship. I think she's ready to give
it up. I think where she draws the line, Mariah
May hasn't even gotten started, and Mariah May is going
(09:20):
to become your ae W Women's Champion. What let's go
miss Mariah May. What do you say, Jeff?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I know, all right, well you know what, Alex are
producers too shy to say it, Freddy or two's polite.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
To say it.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The whole this whole stupid business is too polite. Said,
But Jeff said, Mariah May is hot.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That is hot.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Everybody says that you're not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Tries to be polite. Oh no, it's your Japanese strong style.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Listen, she's a smoke show and I like what she
If anybody hasn't listened to our interview with her, go
back and listen to it. She's awesome and she's smart.
I think she's gonna win this, dude. She convinced me.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Next up the American Championship. That son of a bitch MJF. Yes,
everybody hates MJF. He's being mean to British people all
over the place, no matter where he goes. He's being
mean to Americans wherever he goes. He takes hats off
of children, he spills beers and guys. He doesn't even
give him free merch after he son of a But
(10:32):
he's a champion and he's fighting the former champion, will
Ospray everybody's favorite wrestler does the illest shit in the
ring you've ever seen, and he does it like it's nothing,
like it's a piece of cake, and in front of
his hometown in London. Now, normally, if this was WWE,
one of them's got to lose, Jeff, they won't let
(10:53):
both hometown heroes win. That's the WW thing. They never
would do it. But this is aw and it's a
whole new will Ospray is going to take the title
back from MJF. And this could start a whole rivalry
where they start going back and forth like Randy Orton
and John Cena back in like two thousand and nine,
back and forth, and they make this title mean something,
(11:15):
perhaps even more than the aw World Championship if they're
awesome enough. So I pick will Ospray to defeat that
scumbag MJF who talks nothing but shit about the fine
people of England and the United Kingdom and all our
British listeners out there. I have love for you, and
will Ospray wins. What do you say, Jeff, Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I've never once voted against MJF. In fact, you'll never
ever hear me say anything bad about MGF or pick
against him. Listen, will Ospray might be one of the
best wrestlers in the business, but nobody has my loyalty
more than MJF. I think he will stay the champion.
I think he will humiliate those people and on this
(11:58):
everyone off in England or the way he deals with
will Ospray, which will further fuel that flame. There's nothing
better than being a bad guy getting to be like
talking trash in England. It's gonna be amazing, it's gonna
be awesome, and they're gonna be pissed at MJF because
he's gonna leave that building with the bell.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's what I think.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You almost talked me into changing my vote was It's
gonna be perfect.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It's gonna piss him off so bad. It's just Huntings
the heel.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You pissed me off by almost changing my mind. So
I'm staying with Osprey just despite you, and you're you're
just as bad as MJF. That's what I think. I
love him. It's the best is next up Mercedes Monday,
the champion, the TBS champion with a pretty cool finisher
by the way, versus the dentist Britt Baker D m D.
(12:52):
She's back. We love her. She's cutting emotional promos in
the ring. She's dressing up in costumes and whipping people's asses.
She has to deal with more than just Mercedes. Now
she has to deal with their muscle as well. It's
not looking good, however, however, she's got a chance, Jeff.
(13:12):
She's got a chance she had. She didn't make any
promises like the babyface makes promise, so there's a chance
she could lose. There's a chance she could win. This
is a hard one for me to pick, Jeff, But
I don't see a world where Mercedes can't still be
champion yet. And I think there's gonna be some interference
(13:32):
and BRIT's gonna get screwed by Camille Brickhouse. They just
call her Camille.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She's gonna have to deal with Camille, deal with Camille.
It's a sitcom from the eighties and not a good one.
Got canceled after three episodes, but I think that's gonna
cause her the loss, and she's gonna have to get
it in Chicago a few weeks later and everyone's gonna
love it. So I'm going with Mercedes Monday to retain,
(14:01):
and I think we're gonna disagree.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No, I love Britt Baker and I love Sasha Banks.
I won't call her Mercedes Monete. I love that they
brought in Camille. I love that they brought her like
it's yeah, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but
it feels like Mercedes Monet is like best mic work
or best kind of stuff since since.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The addition of her.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think that Mercedes Monet will retain her championship. There's
gonna be some shenanigans, but I think that that's how
that's how it's gonna go down. And then if she
loses the belt, you know, I think it'll be in
the weeks to come, it will be to Britain.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Just not It's just not just not yet London, all right.
The final match of the night the ae W World
Championship two time guests Swerve Strickland the champion versus Brian
(15:06):
Danielson in a career versus title match. It Brian loses,
he will never wrestle again. I wish he wouldn't have
said that if he wins, he can keep wrestling as
long he won't be under contract, but he'll be the champion. Now,
the business mind goes, he's not gonna win, he's retiring,
(15:26):
He's not gonna win. He's gonna give us a great match.
Somebody will come in, maybe interrupt the match, and that
way he goes, oh, it was a disqualification. I didn't lose,
so I can still wrestle from time to time after
I have surgery. But your heart believes in Brian Danielson
because the Yes movement was real, Jeff, the Yes movement
was real. Wwe buried Brian Danielson, buried him then known
(15:51):
as Daniel Bryan, and the crowd was not having it
because he was John McClain from the Diehard series. He
was that movie you see where you go, Yeah, that happened.
That's what I would do, and I'd save the day,
even though most of us would be that guy Ellis
from Dieharden, that's just doing cocaine and he shot in
the head later, right, But we believe in John McLean
(16:12):
and that's who Brian is. That's that's what he represents.
He's the everyman. He's the Yeah, if I would have
put in the work, if I would have worked hard,
I could have done that too, and that's why we'd
love it. And because of that, it makes it so
freaking hard to pick against him when he says something
like I'll never wrestle again, because my brain can't process
(16:33):
that yet. I wish I had a better relationship with Brown.
You know, we only worked together for a little bit.
I wish we would have traded numbers and I kept
in touch all these years because I'd just be like, dude, no, like,
just wrestle once a year. Who can All that said,
there is a scenario where he could win, and he says,
(16:54):
every championship match is my last. If I lose, I'm out.
If I win, I'm in, and I'm not going to
be under contract. I'm just gonna be your ae W champion.
I don't necessarily believe that story that I'm pitching you
right now, but I'm just saying it could happen. All
that bullshit aside, Swerve Strickland is retaining the championship. Oh,
(17:17):
after all that, After all that, Swerve Strickland is retaining
the championship because I think that he can't do it.
He can't win if he's retiring, he can't win.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
If I'll put one little piggyback on one of the
things you said too about the the Yes movement and yeah,
Brian Daniel Brian that maybe people have kind of misremembered
Brian Danielson or at the time Daniel Bryant was small.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Now this wasn't a common thing. Now everyone at AEW
is five foot five.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
This this guy was this little like you said, he
was diehard was he was?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He was he was writing to be this and he
became the star.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Because if you have that many people chanting yes and
they got to put you over, they say, oh, hey,
the numbers don't lie.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
This is amazing. This guy is over.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
He did it himself and so he's awesome and I'll
never disrespect him.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
My love this guy a lot. I think he wins.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But also you're gonna make me change my mind.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I think he wins. But here's here's what I will say.
Wouldn't it be a great bad guy move?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Like as a heel This is totally separate from this
worst trick when versus Brian Anderson match, But like, wouldn't
it be a great bad guy move to be like, oh,
it's a retirement match.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I just don't know. I'm not doing that, but he tire.
You make me like Union, I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Like, it's such a good idea, shave your hair match,
and then you're like, you lose the match.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm not shaving my hair. Just just don't. That's such
the bad guy, perfect bad guy move.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
That being said, I think Brian Danison wins and we
don't have to worry about that. He's gonna retire, he's
gonna get the next surgeries, he's gonna do all those things.
But I don't think he would ever just say I'm
not going to wrestle again. I think it's ridiculous stipulations,
and the stipulations are so ridiculous that I think he wins.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
All right, hold on, I might flip and.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Then he might give the belt up.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You know, he'll like, in three weeks, I'll have some
tiery goodbye about how he needs next surgery and he's
got to raise his daughter and he wants to be present,
and then he'll just give the belt away and they'll
do some tournament to get the rights to fight for
the belt, and then Swerve will be like this was
mine all the time, and so they'll you know, but
I think that we make a big to do about
Brian Danielson's going away, but I don't think that to
(19:36):
do is him losing to swerve strickling.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Fine, I switched Brian Danielson wins. Yeah, we got them.
You almost got me with MJF two, but you did
it so ha. All right, y'all, that's all the matches
for all in I kind of wish I was there
in Amazing, But the next one's at Texas. Jeff, You're
going to Texas. Love for us, some love for us.
(20:00):
We could do a little field trip.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Me, you and our giant producer Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We could all make it. That would be pretty crazy,
but anyway, enjoy the pay per view. Make sure you
guys tune in every week. We love that you guys
like both shows on behalf of Jeff. I'm Freddy Prince Junior,
who we out. This has been a production of Iheart'smichael
Toura podcast Network. For more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the
(20:25):
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your
paper shows.
There is a scenario where he could win, and he says,
every championship match is my last. If I lose, I'm out.
If I win, I'm in. And I'm not going to
be under contract. I'm just gonna be your ae W champion.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Shut up? Bouts, I hit the fan.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Welcome to sanctioned Thursdays, arestling with ready.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to unsanctioned Thursdays. Let's start the show.
It's prediction time, mister Die prediction.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Are you ready to make the people some money?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I got my h I got my crystal ball ready,
It's all locked and loaded.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I've been doing terrible at this, so let's see if
my crystal ball can get better.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
There's one that's going to be impossible for me to pick,
and so I'm just gonna kind of like ABC D
it so, but I'll be I'll be transparent about which
one that is. But outside of that, I feel highly
confident that I can call the whole card. How confident
are you feeling right now?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Not very Here's the thing, like Jeff Die varies when
it comes to wrestling. You know, I'll be like watching
so much WWE, watching little videos about WWE, and then like,
because of that, AW doesn't get as much as my focus.
And then there'll be other times where I'm watching so
much AEW and so much Internet about AW and then
(01:39):
WWE kind of fades a little.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
So I'm in my WWE phase.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I don't have to travel every week and entertain people
and make them laugh, so I have way more time
to watch wrestling. Don't worry, I got you covered. Here
we go. Chris Jericho, the ft for the world is
such an a whole thing to just change somebody's championship.
Chris Jericho champion versus Hook. This is a very easy,
(02:04):
easy prediction for me to make. This story has been
anti Hook pro The Learning Tree almost called him the
Giving Tree. He's giving. He's very giving.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
That's that's what the Learning Tree is.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, he's a giver. They have been all over Hook.
They practically kill Somemo Joe. They killed my man what's
the Japanese guy's name, Shabata. They killed Shabata or killed
his arm anyway, drove some ojo through a wall, burnt
out Hook's eye. He's still he last week and and
Dynamite said, I I can't even see out of my eyes,
(02:37):
so a bitch, and I did it just like that.
It was it was money and a little better than mine.
And to me, the only way this story ends in
London is with everyone's favorite Hook going over and beating
Chris Jericho and becoming once again the real FTW champion.
(02:58):
Oh for the world, bullshit it, but yeah, So that's
that's why I pick I pick Hook defeats Chris Jericho.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
How about you, sir, I am gonna go against you
and pick Chris Jericho.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Don't you want to win once?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Joe, Well, then we'd be tying on the pick if
I if I pick Cook. Yeah, so I'm gonna pick
Chris Jericho. He's the current one. Maybe we can get
more story out of this. Maybe we can drag it
on longer. I've been enjoying watching You just want Taz
to get into ball, that's what you are.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
We went, well, where's he been? You know, help out
your boy.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
From the ring where anytime Chris comes out because Chris
is afraid of him, you know you might.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
You gotta flex those Taz muscles. So I'm going Chris Jericho.
Keep this feud going all right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Next up is the impossible one for me to pick
one because I don't even know who they're wrestling yet.
It's the Young Bucks, the Tag Team Champions, the World
Tag Team Champions versus either the Acclaimed or FTR or
the Acclaimed and FTR. But I don't know. So the
only thing I know for certain is the two dudes
that are going to be in the match named the
(04:05):
Young Bucks, right, I know they're gonna be in the
match no matter what. So I'm picking the Young Bucks
to win. But do not go with me on this
unless you already know who they're going against and you're like,
oh yeah, Young Bucks. They're not dropping them yet, so
that's why.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I don't know who they're going against. But I am
I allowed to pick the field.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You can take the field yet the.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Field Young Bucks. I'm not a huge fan of the
Young Bucks. I never have been a fan of the
Young Bucks. The Young Bucks are gonna be like my
miz of aw like once they have been doing it
for thirty years, I'll have to be the guy that's like,
I'll give it to him. They've always been around, all right,
They've earned my res so I'm gonna pick the field,
(04:46):
and I love the acclaimed, so I hope it's there.
Everybody loves the acclaimed, all awesome. Next step the Trios Championships,
the World Trios Championships.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
The patriot. This is an easy pick, the patriarchy versus
another field, Jeff, And as as smart as the field
pick was, I don't think it's gonna play this time.
I don't see anybody beating the genius mind of Christian
Cage the Patriarchy. He's got help his lady. The Patriarch
shall come in with the hairs of the aquinet, skit
(05:17):
you in the eyes. Maybe she gets a lighter like
we do in the eighties, and oh yeah, I love
that burn that shit. You know you might get another
fireball there. So I think they're gonna have some Shenanigans.
And the Patriarchy beats the field, that means they beat
everyone else in ae W what.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, you know it's funny, you say.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
When I was a teenager, the local grocery stores would
be like, why is this young boy buying so much hairspray?
And it's because I love fire and I love it.
For this, it's an easy, no brainer pick for Jeff. Dye.
I've always been a straight white male, and I've always
loved the patriarchy. I'm picking the patriarchy. It's never failed Mignet,
(05:58):
and it won't fail me at.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
This event either.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
So here we go, Jeff Dine picking the patriarchy, and
you can bet on it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah you could. You could take that shit to the bank.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I guarantee it.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Next up is Jack Perry, the champion, the TNT champion.
Because our man Edge got hurt. Hope Edge gets well
soon comes back and whip your ass Jack Perry. But
right now he's fighting Darby all Yeah, tell you that's
our boy, Jack Perry versus Darby Allen in a coffin match.
Here's the thing. Here's the thing. The champion has certain advantages,
(06:31):
but in a coffin match, what the fuck? His advantages
go out the window. And Darby Allen is kind of
a coffin kind of dude. He does the coffin drop.
I've seen him land on a coffin dented and practically
break his spine like a like a cannon of pringles.
So I would assume he has the advantage. That said,
(06:52):
Jack Perry's evil. He changed his music. It's more dramatic,
he's he's he takes his hair band out much more
really used to. That shows a lot of evil, and
I think he's gonna do something evil in this match
and he's going to get to win. Remember it wasn't
so long ago that he was the one that was
gonna get lit on fire by Darby. I feel like,
because he took that one and had to look like
(07:14):
the victim in that one, that he's gonna get it
up on him this time. So I'm picking Jack Perry.
That's my philosophy behind it. Anyway to beat Darby Allen
in the coffin match for the TNT Championship. I know
you're going the opposite direction and you're gonna be wrong.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yeah, our little cave boy has really grown up to
become the grumpy band gang Jack Perry. You know, pist,
You and everybody not a fan don't like it, thundersized
under I don't need him.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I don't I like a Darby Allen.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
And the simple fact that it's a coffin match makes
me go, hey, this is a no brainer. When Darby
Allen you just referenced it against a swerve, when he
just literally threw his whole body on his swarf's hand
was still out of the little thing.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It was amazing, big fan.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
If I'm betting with my heart, I picked Darby Allen
because he's cooler. I like him better. He's cooler, and
it's a coffin match. However, I'm gonna bet with my
brain and I think Jack Perry Wentz.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Coming to the dark side. That's my brain, my heart
making money, all right. Next Tony Storm versus maybe my
(08:39):
new favorite guest, Mariah May, super friggin smart, crazy eye
for the business plan this, this destruction of Tony Storm
from day one. Still keeps the bloody shoe in her
bag when she travels, just to remind her how the
hell could she lose this match in front of her
(08:59):
own peace? Are you kidding me? Now? I know some
of you were thinking, well, wait a minute, that's the
perfect time to lose. No, no, no, no no. Tony's
had a long time with the championship, a very long
time with the championship. I think she's ready to give
it up. I think where she draws the line, Mariah
May hasn't even gotten started, and Mariah May is going
(09:20):
to become your ae W Women's Champion. What let's go
miss Mariah May. What do you say, Jeff?
Speaker 3 (09:28):
I know, all right, well you know what, Alex are
producers too shy to say it, Freddy or two's polite.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
To say it.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
The whole this whole stupid business is too polite. Said,
But Jeff said, Mariah May is hot.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
That is hot.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Everybody says that you're not.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Tries to be polite. Oh no, it's your Japanese strong style.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Listen, she's a smoke show and I like what she
If anybody hasn't listened to our interview with her, go
back and listen to it. She's awesome and she's smart.
I think she's gonna win this, dude. She convinced me.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Next up the American Championship. That son of a bitch MJF. Yes,
everybody hates MJF. He's being mean to British people all
over the place, no matter where he goes. He's being
mean to Americans wherever he goes. He takes hats off
of children, he spills beers and guys. He doesn't even
give him free merch after he son of a But
(10:32):
he's a champion and he's fighting the former champion, will
Ospray everybody's favorite wrestler does the illest shit in the
ring you've ever seen, and he does it like it's nothing,
like it's a piece of cake, and in front of
his hometown in London. Now, normally, if this was WWE,
one of them's got to lose, Jeff, they won't let
(10:53):
both hometown heroes win. That's the WW thing. They never
would do it. But this is aw and it's a
whole new will Ospray is going to take the title
back from MJF. And this could start a whole rivalry
where they start going back and forth like Randy Orton
and John Cena back in like two thousand and nine,
back and forth, and they make this title mean something,
(11:15):
perhaps even more than the aw World Championship if they're
awesome enough. So I pick will Ospray to defeat that
scumbag MJF who talks nothing but shit about the fine
people of England and the United Kingdom and all our
British listeners out there. I have love for you, and
will Ospray wins. What do you say, Jeff, Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I've never once voted against MJF. In fact, you'll never
ever hear me say anything bad about MGF or pick
against him. Listen, will Ospray might be one of the
best wrestlers in the business, but nobody has my loyalty
more than MJF. I think he will stay the champion.
I think he will humiliate those people and on this
(11:58):
everyone off in England or the way he deals with
will Ospray, which will further fuel that flame. There's nothing
better than being a bad guy getting to be like
talking trash in England. It's gonna be amazing, it's gonna
be awesome, and they're gonna be pissed at MJF because
he's gonna leave that building with the bell.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
That's what I think.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
You almost talked me into changing my vote was It's
gonna be perfect.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
It's gonna piss him off so bad. It's just Huntings
the heel.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You pissed me off by almost changing my mind. So
I'm staying with Osprey just despite you, and you're you're
just as bad as MJF. That's what I think. I
love him. It's the best is next up Mercedes Monday,
the champion, the TBS champion with a pretty cool finisher
by the way, versus the dentist Britt Baker D m D.
(12:52):
She's back. We love her. She's cutting emotional promos in
the ring. She's dressing up in costumes and whipping people's asses.
She has to deal with more than just Mercedes. Now
she has to deal with their muscle as well. It's
not looking good, however, however, she's got a chance, Jeff.
(13:12):
She's got a chance she had. She didn't make any
promises like the babyface makes promise, so there's a chance
she could lose. There's a chance she could win. This
is a hard one for me to pick, Jeff, But
I don't see a world where Mercedes can't still be
champion yet. And I think there's gonna be some interference
(13:32):
and BRIT's gonna get screwed by Camille Brickhouse. They just
call her Camille.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
She's gonna have to deal with Camille, deal with Camille.
It's a sitcom from the eighties and not a good one.
Got canceled after three episodes, but I think that's gonna
cause her the loss, and she's gonna have to get
it in Chicago a few weeks later and everyone's gonna
love it. So I'm going with Mercedes Monday to retain,
(14:01):
and I think we're gonna disagree.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
No, I love Britt Baker and I love Sasha Banks.
I won't call her Mercedes Monete. I love that they
brought in Camille. I love that they brought her like
it's yeah, I don't know if it's a coincidence, but
it feels like Mercedes Monet is like best mic work
or best kind of stuff since since.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
The addition of her.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
I think that Mercedes Monet will retain her championship. There's
gonna be some shenanigans, but I think that that's how
that's how it's gonna go down. And then if she
loses the belt, you know, I think it'll be in
the weeks to come, it will be to Britain.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
But yeah, I think.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Just not It's just not just not yet London, all right.
The final match of the night the ae W World
Championship two time guests Swerve Strickland the champion versus Brian
(15:06):
Danielson in a career versus title match. It Brian loses,
he will never wrestle again. I wish he wouldn't have
said that if he wins, he can keep wrestling as
long he won't be under contract, but he'll be the champion. Now,
the business mind goes, he's not gonna win, he's retiring,
(15:26):
He's not gonna win. He's gonna give us a great match.
Somebody will come in, maybe interrupt the match, and that
way he goes, oh, it was a disqualification. I didn't lose,
so I can still wrestle from time to time after
I have surgery. But your heart believes in Brian Danielson
because the Yes movement was real, Jeff, the Yes movement
was real. Wwe buried Brian Danielson, buried him then known
(15:51):
as Daniel Bryan, and the crowd was not having it
because he was John McClain from the Diehard series. He
was that movie you see where you go, Yeah, that happened.
That's what I would do, and I'd save the day,
even though most of us would be that guy Ellis
from Dieharden, that's just doing cocaine and he shot in
the head later, right, But we believe in John McLean
(16:12):
and that's who Brian is. That's that's what he represents.
He's the everyman. He's the Yeah, if I would have
put in the work, if I would have worked hard,
I could have done that too, and that's why we'd
love it. And because of that, it makes it so
freaking hard to pick against him when he says something
like I'll never wrestle again, because my brain can't process
(16:33):
that yet. I wish I had a better relationship with Brown.
You know, we only worked together for a little bit.
I wish we would have traded numbers and I kept
in touch all these years because I'd just be like, dude, no, like,
just wrestle once a year. Who can All that said,
there is a scenario where he could win, and he says,
(16:54):
every championship match is my last. If I lose, I'm out.
If I win, I'm in, and I'm not going to
be under contract. I'm just gonna be your ae W champion.
I don't necessarily believe that story that I'm pitching you
right now, but I'm just saying it could happen. All
that bullshit aside, Swerve Strickland is retaining the championship. Oh,
(17:17):
after all that, After all that, Swerve Strickland is retaining
the championship because I think that he can't do it.
He can't win if he's retiring, he can't win.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
If I'll put one little piggyback on one of the
things you said too about the the Yes movement and yeah,
Brian Daniel Brian that maybe people have kind of misremembered
Brian Danielson or at the time Daniel Bryant was small.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Now this wasn't a common thing. Now everyone at AEW
is five foot five.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
This this guy was this little like you said, he
was diehard was he was?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
He was he was writing to be this and he
became the star.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Because if you have that many people chanting yes and
they got to put you over, they say, oh, hey,
the numbers don't lie.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
This is amazing. This guy is over.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
He did it himself and so he's awesome and I'll
never disrespect him.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
My love this guy a lot. I think he wins.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
But also you're gonna make me change my mind.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
I think he wins. But here's here's what I will say.
Wouldn't it be a great bad guy move?
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Like as a heel This is totally separate from this
worst trick when versus Brian Anderson match, But like, wouldn't
it be a great bad guy move to be like, oh,
it's a retirement match.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I just don't know. I'm not doing that, but he tire.
You make me like Union, I'm.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Like, it's such a good idea, shave your hair match,
and then you're like, you lose the match.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm not shaving my hair. Just just don't. That's such
the bad guy, perfect bad guy move.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
That being said, I think Brian Danison wins and we
don't have to worry about that. He's gonna retire, he's
gonna get the next surgeries, he's gonna do all those things.
But I don't think he would ever just say I'm
not going to wrestle again. I think it's ridiculous stipulations,
and the stipulations are so ridiculous that I think he wins.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
All right, hold on, I might flip and.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Then he might give the belt up.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You know, he'll like, in three weeks, I'll have some
tiery goodbye about how he needs next surgery and he's
got to raise his daughter and he wants to be present,
and then he'll just give the belt away and they'll
do some tournament to get the rights to fight for
the belt, and then Swerve will be like this was
mine all the time, and so they'll you know, but
I think that we make a big to do about
Brian Danielson's going away, but I don't think that to
(19:36):
do is him losing to swerve strickling.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Fine, I switched Brian Danielson wins. Yeah, we got them.
You almost got me with MJF two, but you did
it so ha. All right, y'all, that's all the matches
for all in I kind of wish I was there
in Amazing, But the next one's at Texas. Jeff, You're
going to Texas. Love for us, some love for us.
(20:00):
We could do a little field trip.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Me, you and our giant producer Alex.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
We could all make it. That would be pretty crazy,
but anyway, enjoy the pay per view. Make sure you
guys tune in every week. We love that you guys
like both shows on behalf of Jeff. I'm Freddy Prince Junior,
