Speaker 1 (00:03):
And the most dashing man and professional wrestling Dominic mysterio,
the man who is rocking two ladies at the same time.
While the rest of us are out here rocking one
or sometimes even worse. Dominic, He's out here rocking two publicly, privately,
and everything in between. Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
(00:36):
Shut up? Bouts that hit the fan? Welcome to on
sanctioned Thursdays are wrestling with Friday? What's up? Everybody? Welcome
to the Sunday Sunday. No Sunday is when pay per
views used to be back in the good old days.
Now they just throw them on whenever they want. It's Thursday.
It's unsanctioned Thursdays. Our next podcast is sanctioned Sundays, which
(01:00):
is a very uptight, just really kind of know it
all podcasts. You don't want to tune into it. I
just want to do two, not three. So let's start
the show. It's the Bash at Berlin this Saturday, Saturday,
all the way in Germany, the first pay per view
ever there. They've got an Austrian champion. We'll see how
meaningful that is to the people of Germany. I think
(01:22):
it will be. I think he'll get a lot of
support that being gunther my ignorance is an American may
may show they may be like heay, he's from Austria, man,
Californians root for Arizonians. No, anyway, here we go the
mixtag team match. Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley. By the way,
(01:44):
the two of these people together is just so awesome.
It's not like a romantic thing at all. They're just
like bros that respect one another and have each other's back,
And the way they are with one another, you could
tell like they're genuinely super cool in real life too.
Like I just I love the two of these people
to get Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley versus Live Morgan
and the most dashing man and professional wrestling Dominic Mysterio,
(02:09):
the man who is rocking two ladies at the same
time while the rest of us are out here rocking
one or sometimes even worse. Dominic, He's out here rocking
two publicly, privately and everything in between. He's got a
girl now who lets him play video games whenever he wants,
whenever he wants. You know, a happy a dude is
(02:30):
when his wife's not giving him a hard time about
video games. Now. Look, I cook, right, so if I
stop cooking, my wife stops eating, so I can kind
of play video games whenever the hell I want to.
But that's what happens when you have a skill that
they don't. And I recommend that marriage advice to all
my brothers out there. I learn how to cook, and
they'll depend on you for life, my brother unless they're
better cook than you. Anyway, Look, when you're as happy
(02:54):
as Dominic Mysterio and Live Morgan has been keeping her promises,
I'm gonna take everything away from you. I don't see
how you pick against liv And and Dominick together one
on one. I can see Dominic losing the priest easily.
I can see Live Morgan losing to rear Ripley easily.
She'd do some dirty stuff to make it more even,
(03:16):
but straight up, man Rhea is gonna kill Live. But
the team of them, I feel like has a chance
at this pay per view to drag this story out
a little longer. Me and my producer alike Alex are
both picking Live Morgan and Dominic to win. Now, I
don't feel super confident about this one. And here's why.
Because you could flip this real quick. That story is over.
(03:36):
That story is over, and it's time to get to
the one on one matches. And so that's why they
would win. But my thing is like, if they beat
him as a tag team, why do you need the
solo matches. I'm trying to get you into my philosophy
behind this. You need the solo matches. Those are the
more important matches. So if they lose this one, they
still have a reason to beef it out, one over
the title and one over Dominic being a scumbag. Oh
(03:58):
that's Damien's of the story. We all know Dominic is
big heart, and it's just opened to a lot of
extra love. He's you know, he's a lot to love.
Too much for one woman. It's just too much. He's
too handsome, especially with that mustache. Excuse me, leather strap match.
(04:19):
CM Punk walked out with a leather strap match, so
he better have announced it was going to be that,
otherwise it would have been weird. Versus Drew McIntyre, who
the last time he was in a strap match was
against Carry and Cross and he whipped that ass, whipped it.
He whipped it good. And I think this might be
Drew's match, and I think it might be Drew's night again.
(04:41):
And the reason I think that is I think eventually
Punk will get his WrestleMania moment. It could be against Drew.
He could be down to zero and he just needs
one more try at him, one more bite at the apple.
And maybe Mania is too far away for that to happen.
But you're saying to yourself, could he put Drew over
two times in a row? I'm telling you he could.
(05:02):
This might be a new Punk. This might be a
Punk that's here to help establish the next generation and
isn't as worried about his status and his stature on
the card. Drew McIntyre's the man. He can take a loss,
so I get it is a harder card to pick
than I thought it would be. I'm gonna talk myself
in and out of these things. He can handle a
(05:22):
loss the same way priests could handle that loss. But
I just don't know. I just I got a feeling
that this is a different CM Punk, whether you like
him or not. I know the fans in England didn't.
Oh were I don't want to be. There were a
handful on the on the Mike's where you heard a
little cmpunk champ, but the majority of them were not
(05:43):
so much. But I think maybe he's turned over a leaf.
I've been hearing things that he's been real good to
the young people, reaching out to the NX tiers, things
like that. So I'm gonna say that Drew McIntyre wins
two times in a row over CM Punk two times
in a row. Why not Cody handled Seth rollins, Why
(06:06):
can't Drew Randal Cmpunk? And then maybe Punk gets the
last one, so it's not even, but the last one
was CM Punk. So I say Drew McIntyre goes over
for a second time in the leather strap match. Next
up the women. Oh and by the way, producer Alex
he also picked Drew to win, and Jeff didn't have
the guts to place a bed. We'll just say he
(06:27):
picked the opposite of all mine. That way, he's got
a chance chance to catch up the Women's Tag Team Championship.
The Challengers Jade Cargill The Storm and Bianca bell Air
The Eest versus the Women's Tag Team champions The Unholy
Union of Isla don An Alba Fire. I think Isla
(06:51):
is the star of that tag team by the way.
I think I could be wrong, but I think Ila's
the star of that tag team. This is a tricky
one to pick. Producer Alex is picking Bianca and Jade
to get their titles back. And the only reason I
would say hesitate on going that way is eventually they
(07:11):
have to break them up. They have to break up
Bianca and Jade, and losing a tag team title and
pointing the finger at someone else is usually the WWE
start of breaking up a tag team. So that's why
I would hesitate on it. The reason why I would
lean into it is they're protecting Jade Cargill a lot.
(07:35):
They're getting her reps, they're getting her experience in the
ring so she can tell stories in solo matches by
herself without them looking to choreographed or too you know,
not stiff, that's not the right word, but too sticky,
not fluid, right, And I think she's looked great and
all these tag team matches with Bianca, and I think
(07:56):
Bianca's kind of showing her the way. So it's true.
You either got to go with they're gonna break them
up or they're not breaking them up yet. And I'm
gonna go with they're not breaking them up yet because
I think there's still work to be done with Jade
and they want to get this done right. She is
a one of a kind, unicorn type human being and
(08:18):
you need to treat those with kid gloves. You can't
rush it along the way they've rushed so many other talents,
and I think without Vince being there, a lot of
the rushing is going to stop and they're really gonna
try to groom these these these young wrestlers and bring
them up the right way, and I think they're doing
that with Jade. So I am going with our producer.
I'm agreen with you too much, Alex, but I'm going
with our producer and I'm taking Jade and Bianca to
(08:40):
get the titles back and we'll see what the future
holds for Eyeline album. Maybe they're the ones that split
up and they do a little move with Eyelind and
see how she does on her own. The World Heavyweight
(09:04):
Championship match. Randy Orton, the Viper, the legend killer, the
man who jacked my backup with a modified backbreaker back
in the day. You want to see me get fed
up YouTube versus Goonther, a man that's never harmed a
hair on my chinny chin chin. And there's a lot
of them right now. I have a goate. I've got
(09:25):
no ill will towards Goonther, none whatsoever. I'm sure he's
a fine, upstanding man, whereas Randy Orton, he bastard. He
knocked me out of w D. I was a GM
for a night, y'all. I could have been the GM forever.
I'm a better GM than Adam Pierce, that's for sure.
I know how to handle someone like bron Breaker straight up,
(09:46):
better than Nick Altis. Although I can't say anything bad
about Nick Outis, He's been a great GM so far.
I'm just saying I'd have been the best, better than
Teddy Long, better than Eve Torres, better than Kurt Angle,
the best, the best, damn it, and Randy took it
all away from me, which is why I'm picking Gunther. No,
(10:07):
that's not the reason. I think it's Randy's job to
make to really establish Gunther as Holy crap, who's going
to be the next one to take this title from him?
Who's going to be the next legit challenger to climb
up this mountain? Mount Gunther? And I think Randy's the
perfect guy to help build that legend and that mythos
and that aura around him, so to be a great match.
But I think Gunther's going to win. I'm sure Jeff
(10:29):
would agree with me, but since he's not here, he
has to disagree, and he's going with Randy Orton. Suck it.
Our producer also picks Gunther to retain the championship. So, hey,
he's in good company. You thought I was gonna say
I'm in good company. Wrong. Wrong. Sounded like Charlie Murphy. Wrong.
He's an habitual line stepper. The undisputed WWE Championship the
(10:54):
easiest match on the card to call. I don't care
what the odds are. You're not gonna make much, so
you might as well bet every thing on it. Cody
Rhodes versus the Homie Kevin Owens Cody Rhodse's homie, that is,
although I met Kenny. He's super nice guy. This is
an easy one. Cody Rhodes segment ratings. They're all good.
(11:15):
His merch is top selling, like everything's good. He's the
John Cena of his generation, who is the Hogan of
his generator. You know how the lineage works. He's the
face of the WWE. There's no reason for him to
lose it. There's probably going to be interference from the
bloodline anyway, so it protects everybody. It protects Kevin from
(11:36):
just taking a straight up loss. But you know the
match is going to be awesome. And Kevin Owens might
be the coolest. I'm not saying he's the greatest. I'm
not saying that My favorite ever was Andre the Giant,
but he might be the freaking coolest. He's basically Ferris
Bueller if you think about it, because he can look
into the camera if he wants to. He breaks the
rules of wrestling all the time and tells you exactly
(11:57):
what's going to happen, when we all know what's going
to happen already because we watch so much professional wrestling
and we know how these stories are gonna unfold. And
he's always like, no, screw all everything you were about
to say, I know where this is going. I was
gonna punch you right in the face. Like he gets
to break these rules that no one else gets to break,
and it makes him stand out so much, and he's
great at it, which is why he gets to do
(12:18):
it and other people don't because they're not gonna be
as good at it as he is. But I just
love that about him that he can kind of like
blow up a segment and be like, everything you just
said is bullshit. I'm gonna punch you in the face.
And then we're gonna have a match in an hour
and a half, so deal with it. And then they
do every single time. So yeah, so they're gonna wrestle
and Cody's gonna win. Producer Alex picks Cody to win
(12:39):
via DQ when the bloodline once again to see when
the bloodline interferes with the match, but once again we agree.
That sucks. I hate it when there's so much agreement.
I think we agreed on everything. Yeah we did, damn
it all right. Well, not the most dramatic episode. As
far as let's pick a match of the week, let's
try to predict the match that's gonna steal the entire
(13:00):
pay per view. Is it gonna be the obvious ones,
Randy and Gunther or Cody versus Kevin. It'd be easy
to pick one of those easiest pie the leather strap match.
The gimmick kind of makes that an easy pick too.
There's a lot of options here. I think I love
a good mixed tag match. Man, I love a good
mixed tag match. I used to love Santino and Beth
(13:20):
Phoenix kick well, I was gonna say, kick an ass
on everybody, but he would get his ass kicked and
she'd come in and save the day. But I like
a mixed tag that has a chance because everybody in
that match is gonna be money. Maybe even the women's tag.
Maybe there's an option there to steal the night. However,
we all know it's Randy Orton versus Gunther that's gonna
(13:41):
be match of the night. Those chops in that arena
or not arena, that stadium, those chops and the crowd's
reaction to those chops, and WW knows how to mic
their frigging crowds. You're gonna hear every single reaction. That's
my prediction for match of the night. Don't forget to subscribe,
