Official Saturday Night Main Event Predictions & Responding to Listener Emails & Voicemails

<v Speaker 1>This is WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre and you're listening to
<v Speaker 1>the WWE Podcast, the.
<v Speaker 2>Show, the one that everybody wants me.
<v Speaker 3>God, I'll stand.
<v Speaker 4>Three sixteen says I.
<v Speaker 5>Just your ass is my arm.
<v Speaker 4>You can acknowledge me.
<v Speaker 2>What's going on? Everybody, Let's get to the mailbag, dig
<v Speaker 2>through them. I'll pull out a couple of those handwritten
<v Speaker 2>notes and see what do you guys have to say
<v Speaker 2>this week on top of the Saturday night main event
<v Speaker 2>that comes to us tomorrow night. If you forgot about it,
<v Speaker 2>I kind of did, just because the focus has been
<v Speaker 2>solely on money in the bank and beyond and the
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania forty two news that has broken that WrestleMania is
<v Speaker 2>no longer for russ Mania forty two next year is
<v Speaker 2>no longer going to be held in New Orleans. We
<v Speaker 2>don't know why. We can speculate. I've got a couple
<v Speaker 2>of theories, one of them including safety. I'll talk about
<v Speaker 2>that in a minute, but first, welcome to the show.
<v Speaker 2>This is the WWE Podcast. If you guys want to
<v Speaker 2>join us on the Patreon side of things and go
<v Speaker 2>add free, I encourage you to do that. We get
<v Speaker 2>a one week free trial, Patreon dot com, slash WWE
<v Speaker 2>podcast or on the Apple podcast app. Now w announced
<v Speaker 2>that the rather the media outlets announced that WrestleMania forty
<v Speaker 2>two is no longer going to be held in New Orleans.
<v Speaker 2>Now there's speculative reports out there that it's going to
<v Speaker 2>be in Vegas for the foreseeable future. They're going back
<v Speaker 2>to back the first time since WrestleMania I believe four
<v Speaker 2>and five or three and four, I forget four and
<v Speaker 2>five maybe, So that could be happening where it's essentially
<v Speaker 2>a residential setup that they have in Vegas, where every
<v Speaker 2>year it's at Vegas again for the next several years.
<v Speaker 2>I hope they don't do that. They've certainly made a
<v Speaker 2>lot of money in Vegas. It's one of the most
<v Speaker 2>popular cities in the entire country and the entire world. Really,
<v Speaker 2>Vegas is world renowned. Lots lots of money to be
<v Speaker 2>had there, and it was very successful WrestleMania, I mean
<v Speaker 2>again from a monetary perspective, so they certainly could be
<v Speaker 2>doing that. There's also speculation that they're going overseas and
<v Speaker 2>that it could be London, or it could be Dare
<v Speaker 2>I say, and I don't even want to put it
<v Speaker 2>in the universe Saudi. We are all hoping it's not Saudi.
<v Speaker 2>I despise every event that is in Saudi. I don't
<v Speaker 2>like the crowds tip most more often than not, it
<v Speaker 2>doesn't feel authentic. It's you know, it's a lot of
<v Speaker 2>propaganda shove down your throats by the government that during
<v Speaker 2>every single event, they show you how safe the city is,
<v Speaker 2>and you know, how how it's progressing, and all these
<v Speaker 2>sorts of things, and how fun it is and how
<v Speaker 2>nice the scenery is, and hey, come on and visit Saudi.
<v Speaker 2>I really am not about that. So I hope it's
<v Speaker 2>not Saudi Arabia. It could be. I think that's on
<v Speaker 2>the third option. Number two for me would be London.
<v Speaker 2>I know that they've been pushing for a London or
<v Speaker 2>a UK WrestleMania. People are gonna lose it if that's
<v Speaker 2>in a good way. If it is indeed that imagine
<v Speaker 2>the crowd for WrestleMania over there. My god, they go
<v Speaker 2>crazy for house shows. You take a WrestleMania and put
<v Speaker 2>it in London, it's I mean, it's just gonna be wild.
<v Speaker 2>So that's certainly a number two. Number one for me
<v Speaker 2>I do think is Vegas. But again, if it's in London,
<v Speaker 2>I it'd be fine. We'll get the chance all night,
<v Speaker 2>which is not my favorite. I you know those pls
<v Speaker 2>that we get every chant every five seconds and you
<v Speaker 2>can't even see what's going on in the match because
<v Speaker 2>they're so distracted by whatever the hell they're chanting. You
<v Speaker 2>guys know how I feel about. It's just not my favorite.
<v Speaker 2>I know I got a lot of listeners over there.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you guys look at the US crowds as boring,
<v Speaker 2>and I understand why. But it's just it's just a
<v Speaker 2>change in culture, that's all it is. I prefer United
<v Speaker 2>States crowds. I'm biased, just like you prefer you a
<v Speaker 2>UK crowds if you're from the UK. That's all there
<v Speaker 2>is to it. So I hope it's in the United States.
<v Speaker 2>I hope it is, but we'll see. And the question
<v Speaker 2>then becomes, okay, if they move it, why what happened? Well,
<v Speaker 2>I think a couple of factors are at play here,
<v Speaker 2>and they won't admit the first one, which is safety.
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans has one of the highest per capita homicide
<v Speaker 2>rates in the entire country. Their police force is a disaster.
<v Speaker 2>They just had ten They had ten inmates escape a
<v Speaker 2>maximum security prison. They've caught I think maybe half of them,
<v Speaker 2>and it was a gigantic failure up and down the
<v Speaker 2>corrections facilities and the way that they operate down there.
<v Speaker 2>It's just a gigantic failure. If you go and look
<v Speaker 2>at it yourself, I mean, it's just it's a disaster.
<v Speaker 2>And I don't want to get into why that is.
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get into politics or anything like
<v Speaker 2>that because the next step would be talking about that
<v Speaker 2>and I'm not gonna But my point is, look at
<v Speaker 2>the crime statistics in New Orleans horrible, So thinking that
<v Speaker 2>perhaps one of the factors is safety. If they can't
<v Speaker 2>manage their own prisoners in jail and their crime rates
<v Speaker 2>are horrible, and the response rates from the police department
<v Speaker 2>to a scene is one of the worst in the country.
<v Speaker 2>Not a great place to have eighty thousand people crammed
<v Speaker 2>into a stadium with potential issues of safety are at play. Okay, Now,
<v Speaker 2>they won't admit that that, Hey, yea, New Orleans is
<v Speaker 2>a crime ridden hell hole. We don't want to go there.
<v Speaker 2>They're not going to say that. Also, the biggest factor
<v Speaker 2>too is money. Maybe another city offered them more. But
<v Speaker 2>the question then becomes, Okay, if they did, then isn't
<v Speaker 2>WWE going to be sued or I don't know how
<v Speaker 2>far into the actual contractual obligations or agreements that they
<v Speaker 2>got into with the City of New Orleans, the Sports
<v Speaker 2>Commission there, I don't know, But for them to announce
<v Speaker 2>it and then rescind their announcement for WrestleMania, I don't
<v Speaker 2>know the last time they've done that. So that's huge,
<v Speaker 2>and it's a one hundred million plus loss for New Orleans.
<v Speaker 2>Now I know that they're going to try to make
<v Speaker 2>it up with money in the bank and another televised event.
<v Speaker 2>It's not WrestleMania. You are not going to get anywhere
<v Speaker 2>near WrestleMania money. When it comes to another pl like
<v Speaker 2>money in the bank for next year in twenty twenty six,
<v Speaker 2>you'll get a fraction of it. But for the ww
<v Speaker 2>to say, yeah, we'll make good by giving you a
<v Speaker 2>blevel pl I mean, it's just nonsense. So the city
<v Speaker 2>of New Orleans and surrounding areas are losing out on
<v Speaker 2>a massive chunk of change when it comes to bringing
<v Speaker 2>in revenue for restaurants and bars and the merch and
<v Speaker 2>the tax on the hotel rooms and everything else that
<v Speaker 2>comes with it. They're losing out massively. So New Orleans
<v Speaker 2>is not a happy camper. City officials must be beside
<v Speaker 2>themselves this morning. Again, depending on what the details are
<v Speaker 2>of why they didn't, they just pulled out of New Orleans.
<v Speaker 2>But I do believe it's going to be either UK
<v Speaker 2>or Vegas again, no matter where they go. Honestly, whether
<v Speaker 2>it's the UK though or Vegas, both are gonna be loud,
<v Speaker 2>both are gonna be fun. I still prefer Vegas. But
<v Speaker 2>the WrestleMania prices are getting out of control. WrestleMania seats
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be forty fifty thousand dollars for front row.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just absolutely insane. It's gonna price a
<v Speaker 2>lot of people out, and it already has it already
<v Speaker 2>started to do that, where only the people that are
<v Speaker 2>ultra wealthy or are willing to go into a lot
<v Speaker 2>of debt go to these events. You can't bring your kids.
<v Speaker 2>It's no longer. WrestleMania is not a family event anymore.
<v Speaker 2>It's not, and so it's gonna price a lot of people.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know that there are b level pls
<v Speaker 2>that went through London and the UK and Europe that
<v Speaker 2>were three times the price that if they were in
<v Speaker 2>the United States. Imagine what the price for WrestleMania tickets
<v Speaker 2>are gonna be overseas if it is in London or wherever.
<v Speaker 2>Imagine WrestleMania prices. It's gonna be like one hundred thousand
<v Speaker 2>dollars for a front row seat. And I mean US dollars,
<v Speaker 2>which I think the pound and the dollar are almost
<v Speaker 2>the same, so it's gonna be I mean, an absurd
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what the card is. I don't care
<v Speaker 2>if they were able to resurrect the entire cast of
<v Speaker 2>legends in w W, if they were somehow were able
<v Speaker 2>to resurrect Eddie Guerrero and Andrea the Giant and Rodnie Piper.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't care what they were able to
<v Speaker 2>do and create the most epic card you've ever seen
<v Speaker 2>in your life. It's not worth and it's not worth
<v Speaker 2>ten thousand dollars. I'm sorry. I mean, unless you've got
<v Speaker 2>money to burn, most of us don't. It's going to
<v Speaker 2>be absolutely out of our mind expensive. So even if
<v Speaker 2>you're excited and you're listening to me, or in you're
<v Speaker 2>overseas and you're like, oh my god. If you're in France,
<v Speaker 2>if you're in Germany, if you're in Spain, you're like, hey,
<v Speaker 2>maybe I can make the trip to London again. That
<v Speaker 2>is exciting. It is a lot closer. But the question
<v Speaker 2>is are you willing to shell out that kind of
<v Speaker 2>money to go to WWE event? Is it worth four
<v Speaker 2>or five six hours of your life to blow potentially
<v Speaker 2>thousands of dollars even if you get crappy seats, it's
<v Speaker 2>gonna be one thousand pounds or thousand dollars or more
<v Speaker 2>because of the time that you take to get there,
<v Speaker 2>hotel likely you're going to likely buy two tickets for
<v Speaker 2>both nights. On top of the hotel, on top of
<v Speaker 2>the food, on top of the merch you're gonna buy,
<v Speaker 2>on top of the ancillary random expenses, you're gonna incur
<v Speaker 2>parking all that. Is it really worth it? I don't know.
<v Speaker 2>I mean, look at this year's past WrestleMania, where they
<v Speaker 2>had tickets that were ten twenty thirty thousand on stub
<v Speaker 2>Hub and they had the main event that you saw
<v Speaker 2>this year. Imagine coming out of that main event feeling
<v Speaker 2>the way you did, just blowing ten thousand dollars on
<v Speaker 2>a seat and walking out feeling like that with the
<v Speaker 2>finish you got at this year's WrestleMania, I mean, imagine
<v Speaker 2>the buyer's remorse.
<v Speaker 5>Wow.
<v Speaker 2>So did we need to just pause here and we'll
<v Speaker 2>see what WWE does and more news to come on that. Now,
<v Speaker 2>let's get to the emails here, and we're going to
<v Speaker 2>run through a Saturday night main event prediction show as well.
<v Speaker 2>We'll do that on the second half of the show,
<v Speaker 2>but let's get to he the emails, and let's start
<v Speaker 2>with Darren. Let's start with Darren, he says, to answer
<v Speaker 2>the question about the iron Man match. That's right, I
<v Speaker 2>remember if you don't remember, guys, I asked the general audience,
<v Speaker 2>who would you want to see in a sixty minute
<v Speaker 2>iron Man match? You said, I would like to see
<v Speaker 2>them do it. As for the matchup, Gable versus l
<v Speaker 2>Grande Americano, but no, really, I'd like to say Gable
<v Speaker 2>versus Gunther And for the female side, Bianca versus the Osky.
<v Speaker 2>I know we've already seen both of these, but that's
<v Speaker 2>who I would trust. Some other options would be Roxanne
<v Speaker 2>Perez versus Live Morgan, maybe Demon Finbala versus Jacob Fatu.
<v Speaker 2>Great selection here, Darren. You have to look at not
<v Speaker 2>just the dream match in terms of star power, but
<v Speaker 2>who could actually do this, Who is capable of going
<v Speaker 2>the distance and making it interesting? And what we're looking
<v Speaker 2>for here are pure wrestlers. Right. Notice we're not saying
<v Speaker 2>Randy Orton here, We're not saying some of the big stars.
<v Speaker 2>You're not saying Roman Reigns. These are the amateur almost
<v Speaker 2>the amateur style background wrestlers. And that's exactly what we've
<v Speaker 2>you've presented here, Chad Gable versus Gunther My God, Yes,
<v Speaker 2>bring it on. We've already seen them go twenty thirty
<v Speaker 2>minutes before. Just I mean they're already halfway there. They
<v Speaker 2>put on all four of their matches were incredible, incredible
<v Speaker 2>or three? Did they go for a fourth and didn't
<v Speaker 2>do it? I don't know it was three or four.
<v Speaker 2>They had that series that was just absolutely awesome. Bianca
<v Speaker 2>and Neo, yes, both of them more than capable as well.
<v Speaker 2>Love it. Thank you, Darren. So let's what do I
<v Speaker 2>get to hear? Yes, let's talk to and I'm gonna
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna pronounce this really wrong and it's gonna be embarrassing.
<v Speaker 2>This is I'm gonna say, uh Lachlan, oh boy. If
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get that right, I apologize. So you're emailing
<v Speaker 2>from Austra. After listening to the Raw review this week,
<v Speaker 2>I would like to provide my opinion on jay USO's
<v Speaker 2>title run. As a former jay Uso fan, I just
<v Speaker 2>have to say that his character is boring. Yeat is
<v Speaker 2>his entire identity. He's a one dimensional character. Jauso as
<v Speaker 2>champ feels forced. Frankly speaking, his whole face run has
<v Speaker 2>felt force, and I am just only realizing this now.
<v Speaker 2>JUSO's champ needs to be stopped this instant. We all
<v Speaker 2>know that he's gonna beat Logan at Saturday Night's main
<v Speaker 2>event and face Gunther in a WrestleMania rematch. I believe
<v Speaker 2>that Gunther should win. I would even go as so
<v Speaker 2>far as to say he should squash Jay and then
<v Speaker 2>after the match bloody him up similar to what he
<v Speaker 2>did to Jimmy. This would allow him to get some
<v Speaker 2>serious heel heat that he needs after this whole Pat
<v Speaker 2>McAfee's story, and since anyone and everyone seems to be
<v Speaker 2>getting title shots these days, I officially declare myself as
<v Speaker 2>the world heavyweight Champs, next challenger. Okay, pause there, we'll
<v Speaker 2>go to your next point a minute. So Jay USO's character,
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it feels I wouldn't say it
<v Speaker 2>actually feels forced. People have been behind j for a
<v Speaker 2>long time time, even prior to him officially turning baby
<v Speaker 2>face on paper when he was in the Bloodline. His
<v Speaker 2>constant just struggle against Roman Reigns. Really his emotions on
<v Speaker 2>his face is where he made his money. He's never
<v Speaker 2>been known as a great promo. He's never had a
<v Speaker 2>great promo outside of maybe one that led to his
<v Speaker 2>WrestleMania match with Gunther. I don't even know if I
<v Speaker 2>consider that great either. I would say it was just
<v Speaker 2>really good so Gunther or rather, Jay has not I
<v Speaker 2>don't think been a position to where I feel anyway
<v Speaker 2>that he had a force baby face run. To me,
<v Speaker 2>a forced baby face run is look at Roman rains
<v Speaker 2>as seven years as the big dog, where the crowd
<v Speaker 2>just does not accept it, kind of warms up, then
<v Speaker 2>cools off, never fully embraces Roman Reigns as the big dog.
<v Speaker 2>That's to me, a forced baby face run. Jay doesn't
<v Speaker 2>fit that the fans have gotten behind him. Is he
<v Speaker 2>a bit one dimensional kinda? I wouldn't say he's one
<v Speaker 2>dimensional in that that's all he's got. I mean, he's
<v Speaker 2>got super kicks, he's got merch, he can really go
<v Speaker 2>in the ring. He is very good in the ring.
<v Speaker 2>I would say, I mean, he does have other dimensions
<v Speaker 2>to him other than the yeat. He does have a personality.
<v Speaker 2>He does exude confidence, he does exude that that X quality,
<v Speaker 2>that X factor. He does have charisma, There's no doubt.
<v Speaker 2>So he's not one dimensional in the sense that that's
<v Speaker 2>all he has in my mind, but I do see
<v Speaker 2>where I mean, that's probably his biggest dimension. His most
<v Speaker 2>prominent dimension is the yeat. That's not his only, but
<v Speaker 2>it's the most prominent. I would agree with that. And
<v Speaker 2>as far as Jay getting squashed, I don't think that's
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. Remember, WRESTLEMANI decisions to put titles on
<v Speaker 2>people and change championships from one shoulder to the other.
<v Speaker 2>They usually stick with that for six months minimum SummerSlam.
<v Speaker 2>I know it's not six months from SummerSlam WrestleMania, but
<v Speaker 2>usually SummerSlam is the first time you can look at
<v Speaker 2>something like this and go maybe. I don't think Jay's
<v Speaker 2>gonna make it past six seven months. I really don't,
<v Speaker 2>because going into WrestleMania, I think you're gonna want to
<v Speaker 2>heal as a champion where the babyface can then overcome
<v Speaker 2>the heel again. I also want them to stop making
<v Speaker 2>Gunther the heel that babyfaces overcome at WrestleMania. Gunther's bigger
<v Speaker 2>than that. He's not the guy to do that right now.
<v Speaker 2>If he were four or five, six years later in
<v Speaker 2>his career, I'd say, Okay, you know he's been here
<v Speaker 2>a while, he's been a badass. Time for him to
<v Speaker 2>start giving back. Gunther's on the really, I mean, he's
<v Speaker 2>on a path that he should be overcoming babyfaces, right
<v Speaker 2>He's the guy that you want at the top where
<v Speaker 2>nobody can seemingly beat him. I don't mind heels that
<v Speaker 2>don't need to cheat to win. That actually should happen more.
<v Speaker 2>Heels that are just badass that you hate but are
<v Speaker 2>better than the babyfaces I think should get more heat
<v Speaker 2>and do. But too often we lean on champions that
<v Speaker 2>are heels that also cheat to win. And sure I
<v Speaker 2>understand why that happens, but wouldn't you hate somebody more
<v Speaker 2>and want to see somebody get beat more that's just
<v Speaker 2>better than the babyface and have somebody that's simply better,
<v Speaker 2>but the heel doesn't rely on brass nuts or a
<v Speaker 2>low blow or ref distractions or outsider interference to have
<v Speaker 2>them actually win. You'd want a babyface that's just better
<v Speaker 2>to finally come up and stand up and beat them.
<v Speaker 2>So it also kind of lessens the championship that that
<v Speaker 2>heel is holding because then they're feeling like they're illegitimate champions.
<v Speaker 2>So you can be unlikable but also better than babyfaces.
<v Speaker 2>That that is a thing. They're not mutually exclusive, and
<v Speaker 2>I think WWE needs to remember that you don't need
<v Speaker 2>to be always looked at as not as good of
<v Speaker 2>a wrestler. If it were straight up where you know,
<v Speaker 2>if the babyface and heel were going to face to face,
<v Speaker 2>that that heel would lout or that babyface would win.
<v Speaker 2>There can be situations where heels are just better even
<v Speaker 2>if they're bad people, but I don't think that's gonna
<v Speaker 2>happen unfortunately. Now as far as your Iron Man match, uh,
<v Speaker 2>the Iron Woman match. You're saying, so you'd book this
<v Speaker 2>Iron Woman match between EO and Ripley. I think EO's
<v Speaker 2>high flying moves and Rhea's brutality no pun intended would
<v Speaker 2>be great to have it in a match like this,
<v Speaker 2>and I would like to see it at Evolution. Love
<v Speaker 2>the podcast so much. That is all for me, and
<v Speaker 2>well awesome, thank you, thank you so much. And notice
<v Speaker 2>the commonality here. EO is in both of these selections
<v Speaker 2>here for the women, EO is a perfect candidate, and
<v Speaker 2>I see why. Ripley, I think is also perfectly fine.
<v Speaker 2>How about Ripley and Bianca for sixty minutes? I like
<v Speaker 2>EO and Ripley, but how about EO or rather Bianca
<v Speaker 2>and Ripley. I like that too. Thank you, all righty,
<v Speaker 2>let's go to let's see here, all right, DJ was
<v Speaker 2>a very busy weekend of streaming live wrestling PLS, DNA's
<v Speaker 2>Undersea Saturday Night, Saturday Night's main events, and then Sunday
<v Speaker 2>is TNA's Border Brawl, n XT's Battleground, in aid Aw's
<v Speaker 2>Double or nothing. Of all these wrestling events happening in
<v Speaker 2>just a short amount of time, it feels like the
<v Speaker 2>best wrestling that has It's the best wrestlings that it's been,
<v Speaker 2>and it continues to thrive. All right, so let's get
<v Speaker 2>to it. Your predictions. Main event, Jas versus Logan, Paul.
<v Speaker 2>You're saying Jay Usso retains, but it seems that Jay
<v Speaker 2>might be on a borrowed or placeholding a placeholder in
<v Speaker 2>his title reign until Seth regains it at SummerSlam. But
<v Speaker 2>then don't forget about Gunther, who's also entitled to the
<v Speaker 2>all important championship rematch. All right, you're thinking for Damien
<v Speaker 2>versus Drew in a steel cage, that priest wins to
<v Speaker 2>get his come up and so on Drew. But then
<v Speaker 2>to me, I think maybe Drew might win and move
<v Speaker 2>on to qualify for money in the bank and possibly
<v Speaker 2>win it again, but this time he will have a
<v Speaker 2>successful cash in on like last year, Sena Our Truth
<v Speaker 2>for the Championship. For those that may have forgotten, Our
<v Speaker 2>Truth never got a championship rematch after Sena retained at
<v Speaker 2>Capital Punishment back in twenty eleven, this is a long
<v Speaker 2>overdue rematch fourteen years in the making. For Truth, however,
<v Speaker 2>the roles are reversed. Seen is the heel truth of
<v Speaker 2>the face. Unfortunately, I predict the same res that will
<v Speaker 2>happen when Sina retains the title Seampunk and Sammy's Ain.
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry Cmpunk and samyse Ain versus Seth and Braun.
<v Speaker 2>In my opinion, this should be the main event. This
<v Speaker 2>will be Cmpunk's return on a Saturday Night main event
<v Speaker 2>eighteen years in the making. His last appearance was in
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and seven. Plus, this tag team match has
<v Speaker 2>a main event vibe with a major storyline implication in
<v Speaker 2>terms of the future of Seth's group. Will Sammy turn
<v Speaker 2>and Punk's next destination after this event ends? You're predicting
<v Speaker 2>Rollins and Breaker win. First possible spoiler, Samy's ain heel turn,
<v Speaker 2>and my second possible boiler the return of Bronson Reid
<v Speaker 2>as he joined Seth group after attacking Zane and Punk.
<v Speaker 2>Have a great weekend, Enjoy Saturday Night main event, and
<v Speaker 2>he'll be maybe in the discord chat on Saturday. If not,
<v Speaker 2>you'll be there on money the Bank. All right, let's
<v Speaker 2>get to a couple of voicemails and then I'll give
<v Speaker 2>you my official predictions for tomorrow night's Saturday Night main event.
<v Speaker 6>It's kind of about Tomore, so I'm in the middle
<v Speaker 6>of listen to your review, and he keeps saying Jude
<v Speaker 6>Knight is Lady in the Bank. June Night is an
<v Speaker 6>episode of Raw the pay reviewers on June seventh, So yeah,
<v Speaker 6>there's that, and so the Besser and jare happier of
<v Speaker 6>Raw to Night. That's that's another sort of raw of
<v Speaker 6>that date. Anyway, So there's that Fasbrox stay of being
<v Speaker 6>on the main roster. I'm happy about that. I think
<v Speaker 6>she's great. I think she's going to be she'll betify,
<v Speaker 6>especially if she has a pretty much may end up
<v Speaker 6>with Flipp Morgan whenever she comes back, and hopefully they'll
<v Speaker 6>incorporate the inside. I see title play if you wouldn't
<v Speaker 6>money to bake and I'd be great tee at the
<v Speaker 6>circle after going after your Eel Skuy becoming one. She
<v Speaker 6>had been requit base for Ron sand Rock the Gate
<v Speaker 6>be very similar they did. It was fifty stride and
<v Speaker 6>when she first came in last year. So that's it.
<v Speaker 6>That's what did too uh correct you on the date?
<v Speaker 6>Gen Knife edges on enough sort of Raw in the
<v Speaker 6>per review is Jude six, I believe, so yeah, that's
<v Speaker 6>the thanks Kyle.
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the problem is I just I didn't look at
<v Speaker 2>the calendar. I just thought of June Night, Jude seventh. Yeah,
<v Speaker 2>I mean I appreciate that. And Roxanne Perez, Hey, she
<v Speaker 2>right now and just like Stephanie riccor are in a
<v Speaker 2>really good spot, Roxanne is getting a little bit of
<v Speaker 2>shine with the Judgment day. There's that few would live
<v Speaker 2>probably coming, or at least She's being used as a
<v Speaker 2>tool of dissension with Finn, so Finn is using her
<v Speaker 2>to jab into dominic Uh and push that eventual collapse forward.
<v Speaker 2>But I also wouldn't mind Roxanne challenging for the championship.
<v Speaker 2>I think that she's do I want her as champion
<v Speaker 2>right now? Probably not not yet, not yet, but I
<v Speaker 2>think right now with EO Sky, you could have her
<v Speaker 2>work with anybody. That's that's a great thing about having
<v Speaker 2>a champion like Eo. She may not be overly done
<v Speaker 2>with her character and her promos, she's limited in that area,
<v Speaker 2>but she's so damn good in the ring that she's
<v Speaker 2>really I mean, that's kind of who you want as
<v Speaker 2>a champion too, because she can work with anybody, make
<v Speaker 2>anybody look good. She's just amazing. So with Roxanne Perez,
<v Speaker 2>who's certainly no slouch herself, you put those two together,
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have instantly a really good match. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>you can't not have a good match with those two.
<v Speaker 2>But do I think EO Sky is going to drop
<v Speaker 2>the belt anytime soon?
<v Speaker 4>No?
<v Speaker 2>I don't, and I wouldn't really even consider it yet
<v Speaker 2>until maybe later in the summer. All right, thank you, Kyle.
<v Speaker 2>Let's get to one more. And I think we all
<v Speaker 2>know who this is.
<v Speaker 4>This is DJ Cooles. Melt back at it a get
<v Speaker 4>on your mailback show records. You live on no widsday
<v Speaker 4>board and you know what time it is. It's time
<v Speaker 4>to see his name.
<v Speaker 3>Man, he appears. I believe in Joe Hendry. I believe
<v Speaker 3>in Joe Hendry. That's right, folks, Joe Hendry is his name.
<v Speaker 4>As I take it to my forty fifth episode of
<v Speaker 4>the Jeorgia Bord, and like always come into line from
<v Speaker 4>an undisclosed ocasion before we start the show, I have
<v Speaker 4>two things to mention in the world of Joe Hendry.
<v Speaker 4>The first thing, Joe Hendry made an appearance at the
<v Speaker 4>Chris Fevrey podcast last week and he talked about his
<v Speaker 4>unbelievable year that he's having so far. Of course, winning
<v Speaker 4>the TN World Championship back in January at Teenage Genesis
<v Speaker 4>making an appearance at the Royal Rumble his match against
<v Speaker 4>Randy Orrin at WrestleMania forty one, and a little bit
<v Speaker 4>behind the scenes of how that came about and of
<v Speaker 4>course what's going on right now as he's making frequent
<v Speaker 4>appearances on NXT. Now, the second thing I want to
<v Speaker 4>mention about Joe Hendry in the world of Joe Hendry,
<v Speaker 4>so shout out to Dina from Scotland, as he mentioned
<v Speaker 4>in discord Chat that Joe Hendry was back in Scotland
<v Speaker 4>as he was a tied Castle Park for a Premier
<v Speaker 4>League soccer games. He talks on the microphone at congrats
<v Speaker 4>everybody that believed and supported him through all his years
<v Speaker 4>in the indies as the way he is right now
<v Speaker 4>in TNA. Now let's take it to what took place
<v Speaker 4>last week on the episode of TN Parrestling, as this
<v Speaker 4>was a special tribute to Sabu who recently passed away
<v Speaker 4>rip to Sabu, he's one of the pillars of ECW.
<v Speaker 5>And we also had the debut of Indy Hartwell, who was.
<v Speaker 4>Formerly released from WW a couple of months ago and
<v Speaker 4>now she's officially signed to TNA. So if you get
<v Speaker 4>released from ww there's still a second chance at the
<v Speaker 4>connection of TNA and WWE. So it's great to see
<v Speaker 4>that Indie Heartwell is now back in professional wrestling in TNA. Now,
<v Speaker 4>let's take it to this segment in which we had
<v Speaker 4>Freakie Kazarian and Trick Williams as they said something like this.
<v Speaker 4>Trick says he doesn't like Frankie and he knows that
<v Speaker 4>Frankie doesn't like him. But unlike Joe Hendry, we're not
<v Speaker 4>here to be liked, we are here to be respected.
<v Speaker 4>But as Trick Williams says his name, here comes Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendry and Frankie Gazeren makes a very interesting comment to
<v Speaker 4>Joe Hendrie and says that the fact that he did
<v Speaker 4>not get pinned in the triple threat match at ten
<v Speaker 4>A Rebellion, he still wants a title shot against Joe Hendry.
<v Speaker 4>And then all of a sudden, here comes Elijah as
<v Speaker 4>he came to back up Joe Hendry. As now Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendry and Elijah quickly come into the ring, but dead,
<v Speaker 4>Trick Williams and Frankie Gazerin leave the rig and they're
<v Speaker 4>at ringside and dead. This is where things get very
<v Speaker 4>very interesting as we see no no of that said
<v Speaker 4>Tina Morella, the director of Authority, and he says that
<v Speaker 4>this match needs to happen tonight. The match, the tag
<v Speaker 4>team match which is supposed to be scheduled for teen ay,
<v Speaker 4>undersiege of Trick Williams and Frankie Gazeran versus Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 4>and Elijah. He wants the match to happened tonight. But
<v Speaker 4>then we get another interesting development. Robert Stone. That's right, folks,
<v Speaker 4>Robert Stone, who is on NXT. He has been making
<v Speaker 4>some appearances on TNA for the past couple of weeks.
<v Speaker 4>As he is now I guess you could say signed
<v Speaker 4>by TNA as part of the TNA management group to
<v Speaker 4>oversee what sad Tino Morella does in TNA. And here
<v Speaker 4>it comes Robert Stone. He interrupts sad Tina Morella and says.
<v Speaker 5>What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?
<v Speaker 4>We're not having this match tonight. This match will be
<v Speaker 4>scheduled for Ontario, Canada, May twenty third, and we're not
<v Speaker 4>gonna have this match tonight, but we will, or he
<v Speaker 4>should say, I will have some suitable replacements for Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendrie and Elijah next week on the next episode of TNA,
<v Speaker 4>and spoiler alert, since TNA is taped, we do know
<v Speaker 4>who those suitable replacements are in a matchup against Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendri and Elijah, And those suitable replacements are Moose, the
<v Speaker 4>X Division champion and Brian Myers. Both of these guys
<v Speaker 4>are from the system. And there you're having, folks, This
<v Speaker 4>is what's happening as you continue to build of Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendry and Shrick Williams. As of course, this Friday, May
<v Speaker 4>twenty third, live from Antario Ketta, we're gonna have Trick
<v Speaker 4>Williams and FRANKI gazerin versus Joe Hendry and Elijah. And
<v Speaker 4>this Sunday, this Sunday, May twenty fifth, live from Tampa, Florida,
<v Speaker 4>NXT Battleground for the Today World Championship, it will be
<v Speaker 4>Joe Hendry versus Trick Williams. But before we get to that,
<v Speaker 4>we must get to this very interesting concert appearance on
<v Speaker 4>the episode of NXT. And let's get to that Joe
<v Speaker 4>Hendry concert live on NXT. But before we get there,
<v Speaker 4>I want to give a quick shout out to Trick Williams.
<v Speaker 4>That's right, Trick Williams, because Earlier on in the show,
<v Speaker 4>he had his own little concert, his rap concert, as
<v Speaker 4>he did a diss record again Joe Hendry, and the
<v Speaker 4>name of that song was I never backing down to
<v Speaker 4>an average Joe. I never backing down to an average Joe.
<v Speaker 4>That song is stuck in my head. It's not available
<v Speaker 4>on Apple and Spotify and any other platforms that you
<v Speaker 4>stream music. He also did a video to that song,
<v Speaker 4>which is absolutely hilarious, So shout out to Trick Williams.
<v Speaker 4>But now let's get to the Joe Henry concert. As
<v Speaker 4>we see Joe Henry in the middle of the ring
<v Speaker 4>with the guitar in hand, as he's sitting on a
<v Speaker 4>stool and he's getting ready to shrum some tunes about
<v Speaker 4>Trick Williams, and he talks about saying that I believe
<v Speaker 4>in Joe Hendry will be the chance that'll be happening
<v Speaker 4>after NXT Battleground, and then he goes into this part
<v Speaker 4>of the song where he says, now, Trick was the.
<v Speaker 5>Champion of the whole of NXT.
<v Speaker 4>It's a shame you couldn't hold the time, oh for
<v Speaker 4>longer than a couple of weeks. And then Joe Henjey
<v Speaker 4>continues by saying, I've obtained some footage from the good
<v Speaker 4>old days of when you were a crappy sidekick to
<v Speaker 4>Carmelo Hayes.
<v Speaker 5>And then Joe.
<v Speaker 4>Hendry shows that footage and it's the footage of Trick
<v Speaker 4>Williams and Carmelo Hayes inside of a haunted house.
<v Speaker 5>This was taking place from Halloween Havoc twenty twenty one.
<v Speaker 5>We see Trick.
<v Speaker 4>Williams getting so scared as he's like, oh my god, Carmelo,
<v Speaker 4>I think we need to get out of here because
<v Speaker 4>you hear somebody coming. And then all of a sudden,
<v Speaker 4>as Joe Henry continues to show this footage, we see
<v Speaker 4>a man which obviously was Dexter Loomis, but Joe Henry
<v Speaker 4>photoshops his face onto Dexter Loomis's body, and then Joe
<v Speaker 4>Henry replays the clip of Trick Williams screaming over and
<v Speaker 4>over and over again, as everybody in the crowd was
<v Speaker 4>laughing as they're seeing this happening, because you know, Trick
<v Speaker 4>Williams is such a big, macho guy, but to see
<v Speaker 4>him screaming like a little girl.
<v Speaker 5>Was just absolutely hilarious. Anyway, afterward, we show that footage.
<v Speaker 4>Joe Hendry continues on with the song and he says
<v Speaker 4>something like this, whoop that trick, Whoop that trick.
<v Speaker 5>Everybody says Mellows.
<v Speaker 4>Well, I can't say the B word, so I'll say
<v Speaker 4>itch Mellow's itch.
<v Speaker 5>Whoop that trick, Whoop that trick.
<v Speaker 4>Everybody else says mellows itch, whoop that trick.
<v Speaker 5>Boo that trick. You know the rest.
<v Speaker 4>As that song continues to be saying, here comes Trick Williams,
<v Speaker 4>very angry at Joe and he said, I was the past.
<v Speaker 5>Nobody lives in the past anymore.
<v Speaker 4>And then the crowd continues to chant Mellow's itch, Mellow's itch.
<v Speaker 4>Trick Williams enters the ring and then he sucker punches
<v Speaker 4>Joe Hendry with a cheap shot, and then he goes
<v Speaker 4>for the roundhouse kick to Joe Hendry as Joe Henry
<v Speaker 4>lies down on the mat.
<v Speaker 5>But then as Trick Williams.
<v Speaker 4>Is about to go for the trick shot, here comes
<v Speaker 4>Joe Henry as he gets up and picks up the
<v Speaker 4>Spirit guitar. He picks up the Spirit guitar and I
<v Speaker 4>guess in omas to Jeff Jarrett, he hit trick Williams
<v Speaker 4>with the guitar to the knee.
<v Speaker 5>Shrick Williams is lying down on the mat in pain.
<v Speaker 4>Then Joe Hendry goes for the standing ovation choke slam
<v Speaker 4>on Trick Williams. Joe Hendry lifts up his t and
<v Speaker 4>A world title and says that at the end of
<v Speaker 4>the day, Joe Hendry is still the champion of t NA.
<v Speaker 4>Could this be a foreshadowing of what we might see
<v Speaker 4>at NXT Battleground this coming Sunday Live from Tampa Bay, Florida.
<v Speaker 4>Let's see what happens as the continuation of this bill
<v Speaker 4>goes on between Trick Williams and Joe Hendry. And don't
<v Speaker 4>forget folks, this coming Friday line from Ontoario, Canada.
<v Speaker 5>He and A under siege.
<v Speaker 4>It will be Joe Hendry and Elijah versus Strick Williams
<v Speaker 4>and Frankie Caziir. Always rebert to believe, say his name,
<v Speaker 4>Always remember the words that Joe Hendrick says anytime, any place,
<v Speaker 4>at any show.
<v Speaker 5>And most simpoorly, most simpoorly, always remember to do this
<v Speaker 5>strong science well believe to once again, this is your guy,
<v Speaker 5>DJ Coolsbo.
<v Speaker 4>Have a blessed week by Kai to one of those
<v Speaker 4>stays in my friends Believe at Peace.
<v Speaker 2>You know, TNA should uh certainly give you some kind
<v Speaker 2>of royalty payment. Every single time that a new viewer
<v Speaker 2>comes on the show and they're they're able to somehow
<v Speaker 2>trace it back to you, they should give you some
<v Speaker 2>kind of royalty because at this point we're just kind
<v Speaker 2>of doing a multi show review where it's I'm talking
<v Speaker 2>about the upcoming pl You give us a pretty extensive
<v Speaker 2>TNA UH and Joe Hendry report there, and it's good
<v Speaker 2>to hear. Yeah, it's really good to hear. I think
<v Speaker 2>with Joe Hendry, we're all again anxiously those of us
<v Speaker 2>that are main roster viewers are anxiously waiting for him
<v Speaker 2>to just finally debut. But getting all this publicity just
<v Speaker 2>in the TNA realm and NXT realm is a good
<v Speaker 2>thing because it allows him to grow and find out
<v Speaker 2>who he is and continue to get ready for the
<v Speaker 2>big show. I mean, you know, he's dipped his toe in,
<v Speaker 2>but really it hasn't happened officially yet. So thank you
<v Speaker 2>for the TNA update, Thank you for Trick Williams and
<v Speaker 2>giving us updates on the Trick Williams and Joe Hendry
<v Speaker 2>Program and everything else in between. So all right, let's
<v Speaker 2>get to the t orout TNA, the predictions, my predictions
<v Speaker 2>for this coming Saturday night, Tomorrow night. What's going to happen.
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with John Cena and Our Truth. This is
<v Speaker 2>gonna be fun because while yeah, I'm going right for it.
<v Speaker 2>John Cena wins, but I have made a case for
<v Speaker 2>Our Truth to win, win for a day just today,
<v Speaker 2>have him twenty four hours as champion, let him celebrate,
<v Speaker 2>let the fans go crazy, and then John Cena wins
<v Speaker 2>it back, or rather it have to be a forty
<v Speaker 2>eight hour run on Monday Night Raw, So he get
<v Speaker 2>it for forty eight hours, people going crazy. Our Truth
<v Speaker 2>opens the show on Monday Night Raw, he gets his flowers,
<v Speaker 2>the fans can have a moment with him, knowing that
<v Speaker 2>it's probably gonna be a few minutes before he loses
<v Speaker 2>the belt again. John Cena challenges him or forces him
<v Speaker 2>to put the belt on the line. Our Truth complies
<v Speaker 2>main event and John Cena wins it back. I mean,
<v Speaker 2>that's what I would do, but I don't think they're
<v Speaker 2>gonna do that. I think John Cena wins and then
<v Speaker 2>tries to get more heat by brutally beating down Our Truth.
<v Speaker 2>Does Cody Rhads come back here? I think there's a
<v Speaker 2>strong possibility. We haven't seen Cody Roads in over a month.
<v Speaker 2>It's been a nice breath of fresh air without him
<v Speaker 2>seeing what w looks like, giving the fans a chance
<v Speaker 2>to relax on him as the fans were starting to
<v Speaker 2>turn a bit for the first time against him. So
<v Speaker 2>it's possible Our Truth gets saved by Cody Rhoads here
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the show. I think it is
<v Speaker 2>going to end the show. I would put Our Truth
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the show with John Cena. Why not.
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be fun. There'll be moments where you believe
<v Speaker 2>he could win. Oh my god, it could do. The
<v Speaker 2>crowd's going crazy. Ultimately coming up short. As far as
<v Speaker 2>the bron Breaker seth Rowlins tag team match versus Sammy's
<v Speaker 2>Ain and Seampunk bron Breaker and Rollins have to win this.
<v Speaker 2>They need a staple win. Sammy's Ain will take the fall.
<v Speaker 2>They'll protect Punk here. Maybe Samy's Ain does turn at
<v Speaker 2>the end, turns on Punk in frustration, and I wouldn't
<v Speaker 2>hate that Sammy's Ain could be the third member he's
<v Speaker 2>teased it a little bit knowingly or not. But Sammy's
<v Speaker 2>Ain and Punk have to lose here, and I do
<v Speaker 2>believe it'll be Bronson Reed who comes in and is
<v Speaker 2>the reason that's Punk and Zane lose. I should expect
<v Speaker 2>a very fun map of a hell of a match
<v Speaker 2>bron Break. There's gonna be probably three four spears of course,
<v Speaker 2>kickouts of finishes everywhere, which I don't I don't like,
<v Speaker 2>but they'll do. Ultimately, looks like the baby Faces are
<v Speaker 2>gonna win Halluvah kick into a go to sleep and
<v Speaker 2>then here comes Bronson Reid behind the referees back Tsunami
<v Speaker 2>Tsunami one two three and bron Breaker and Seth Rollins win.
<v Speaker 2>Seeampunk takes or I'm sorry Sammy Zay takes the pinfall.
<v Speaker 2>That's how I think it's gonna go. As far as
<v Speaker 2>the next match, here we have jay Uso and Logan
<v Speaker 2>Paul Jayuso wins. I wouldn't fool around with the Logan
<v Speaker 2>pol victory here. I wouldn't go crazy. People would lose it,
<v Speaker 2>which I think would be a lot of fun seeing
<v Speaker 2>what people do with the public does what Twitter does,
<v Speaker 2>but there's no need to do it right now. There's
<v Speaker 2>no there's no rush on the Logan Paul world title run.
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't again. I would not lose my mind. I
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people would, but that'd be the
<v Speaker 2>fun of fun of it is like sitting back, kicking
<v Speaker 2>my feet up, eating some popcorn, watching the Internet explode
<v Speaker 2>over Logan Paul winning the world title. I would kind
<v Speaker 2>of dark, dark side of me would love to see
<v Speaker 2>what that looks like. So but I expect a very
<v Speaker 2>fun match, probably forty five to forty six superkicks give
<v Speaker 2>or take, and Logan Paul gets close, but ultimately he
<v Speaker 2>does not, and it is not victorious. All right now,
<v Speaker 2>The other match here is steel cage match Drew McIntire
<v Speaker 2>versus Damian Priest. This is, out of all the matches,
<v Speaker 2>the most difficult one to call by far, because you
<v Speaker 2>can make a case for really either man. I think
<v Speaker 2>Drew needs a victory here. Drew needs to get back
<v Speaker 2>on track. Damian Priest. I know that he's the babyface
<v Speaker 2>in this and this is the blowof Traditionally the babyface wins,
<v Speaker 2>but I want Drew McIntyre to win here and just
<v Speaker 2>both guys move on. Drew needs a win he needs
<v Speaker 2>a w to get back on track. They fumbled him
<v Speaker 2>over the last couple of months, not knowing seemingly what
<v Speaker 2>to do with him. But me, I want Drew to win. Now,
<v Speaker 2>what do I think is gonna happen? Probably Damien. I'm
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with Priest. But if you're a betting man
<v Speaker 2>or a woman, I would not come near this match.
<v Speaker 2>It's too difficult to call. I'd give a slight edge
<v Speaker 2>in terms of how I think the company is gonna
<v Speaker 2>go towards Priest. But if I was booking this, it'd
<v Speaker 2>be a Drew McIntyre victory all day. Uh, And that's
<v Speaker 2>the way I would do it. But I expect a physical,
<v Speaker 2>fun match. All right, Well that'll do it. I appreciate
<v Speaker 2>everybody here. If you guys want to go AD free,
