Now he's cost Drew everything. He's cost He's made Drew
quit the company, He's made Drew lose his mind, He's
made Drew crack under pressure. He's cost through the World
Championship multiple times. This is going to be a deathmatch,
and I mean an actual death match, like Drew's gonna
want to kill Sam Punk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And now you're made even introducing No Hosts a wrestling
win for Reddy Chef Die and for Ready Friz Tunior.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
What's up, everybody? Welcome back to wrestling with Freddy No Friends. Today.
I'm flying solo, so you're stuck with me. I hope
everybody had a fantastic week and weekend of wrestling. When
we get the extra Saturday Sunday shows, those are always
good weekends. Money in the bank has come and went.
We'll speak about that and where those storylines are going
to go. Stay tuned for Unsanctioned Thursday. We'll talk about
(00:58):
John Cena retirement and get into my history for those
who don't know that I had with him when I
worked there, both good and bad. It was all good
on my side. He just didn't want me there. We
will well deep dive into it. It's going to start right. No,
all right, everybody, welcome back, Thanks for listening to our
awesome intro. Thank you to everyone who put that together.
(01:21):
It's the only awesome intro I've ever had. Twenty twenty
four's Money in the Bank was WWE's most successful arena
event in Canada ever, not Canadia, but Canada. Wrestling keeps
breaking records after record after record in the last like
two three years, whether it's AEW or WWE. Everybody that
was like, yeah, wrestling's dying that didn't listen to this
(01:43):
show where I said, no, this is a renaissance or
a renaissance which is a rebirth of wrestling. If you
listen to this show, you already knew. You already knew
that these records are going to be broken, because you
already knew wrestling was on the climb, just like they
had to climb these damn ladders in the most dangerous
freaking match. And yeah, you love those smooth transitions in
(02:04):
Money in the Bank. So we're going to talk about
both matches and we'll get into, of course, the main event,
which was the three on three the Bloodline with Solo
Socoa or Sequoia, as Jeff used to call him Cody Rhodes,
Kevin Owens in Canada, and the near three hundred pound
Randy Orton. He's so freaking jack yet. Now, what should
we talk about first? What should we talk about first? Oh,
(02:25):
we can do some news. Highest grossing WWE arena event
in Canadian history. That's pretty awesome. What else? What else?
Revenue stream was largely thanks to the crowd. The ww
announced that forty over forty five thousand fans attended the
string of three shows in Toronto's Scotia Bank. I always
want to say Nova Scotia Bank, but it's just Scotia
(02:47):
Bank Arena. That was SmackDown Money in the Bank and
NXD heat Wave NXT gets a big bump from being
there with the others. So that's a sick number, but
they're getting in an extra bump because of the other shows. Also,
Sammy's Ainin did a comedy show. A lot of wrestlers
have comedy shows. The Nammath brothers have comedy shows. Who
else has done him? Bruce Pritchard has done him in
(03:07):
the past, Sammy's done A lot of people have been
doing this. We got to do our old comedy show man.
I get some well all the good stand up comics
already go to those shows anyway, because they all have
professional wrestling, all right. The Men's Money in the Bank
ladder match Jay Uso, which was my pick. And before
we get into this, guys, I owe everyone an absolute apology.
(03:28):
If you were betting, you did not and you were
and you were listening to me, you did not have
a good week, and for that I apologize. However, before that,
I've delivered to y'all at least twice before. I think
we've only been doing this. This was the third one
where we were talking money. But usually I do much
better on these predictions. So I apologize to all of you.
(03:51):
We will do better. I will say this. We record
these on Mondays and Monday Night. After Monday Night Raw,
I texted on our wrestling text that Drew McIntyre was
going to win money in the ban because zacting was
so good you kind of gave it away. It was
better than normal, and I think he's good normally, but
it was there was so much truth in his face
that I was like, Oh, that dude is winning. I
wish I could change my pick right now, but we can't.
(04:12):
I picked Jay us It was Jay USO versus Carmelo
Hayes Andrade, Chad Gable, La Night and the winner Drew McIntyre. McIntyre.
This match was pretty good, but it was short. It
was really really quick, and I didn't feel like it
needed to be. But I guess they had other They
(04:33):
had other plans that needed more time. They knew the
story they were going to tell with Drew, which is
a very sort of painted into a corner story. We
all know it's the cmpunk story. So once he wins,
he already made this promise that he's going to cash
in that night, and he's going to walk away the
world heavyweight champion. And nothing is better than when a
(04:54):
wrestler makes a promise and is able to keep it.
It was something that we fought against when I worked
there back in the day because I was taught by
the old school guys. If a wrestler doesn't keep his promise,
then he's gonna if it's the baby face, then he's
gonna look like a punk and he can't get over.
And it's not that he can't get over. I think
that's a little extreme, but it makes it extremely difficult
(05:15):
to get over once you've sort of broken that promise,
and when I worked there, we fought for that philosophy,
and Vince would kind of break it whenever he break
that rule, whenever he felt like it. It didn't matter.
Heels could lie, but babyfaces couldn't. So and Drew is
a badass baby. He's not a heel, He's not a baby.
He's this new hybrid form. But he made a promise
and he made good on it. He freaking won the match,
(05:39):
and we get to seth Rawlins and Damien Priest that night.
Later that night and they have their main event, which
Damian Priest wins, and we won't get into match highlights
or anything like that. We're just going to talk story.
And I think the future of Damien his Finn. So
he keeps his promise, he cashes in. He's going to
become the world champion. And who's there? Everyone says at
(06:03):
the same time, we knew it, CM Punk, nobody picked
jos Open me. I get it. Sampunk comes out and
screws him over again, and there's nothing Drew can do
about it. And this has set up a story for
these two gentlemen that I think will happen at SummerSlam.
I mean it could happen that soon. They could stretch
(06:24):
it out for a long time if they wanted to.
But this is going to become one of the best
stories in wrestling. It's cool right now, but it's there's
not enough meat on the bone, right and now there's
nothing in the other wrestler's way. There's not an injury
right and I think they had to switch gears on
(06:44):
this story anyway, So credit to them for this. They
just had to make it cool until they could come
up with the story because Punk got injured. I think
his story was originally going to be with Seth Rollins,
but it's him and Drew, and now he's cost Drew everything.
He's made Drew quit the company. He's made Drew lose
(07:05):
his mind, He's made Drew crack under pressure. He's cost
through the World Championship multiple times. This is going to
be a death match, and I mean an actual death match,
like Drew's gonna want to kill Ciam Punk. I don't
think you have to let this story cook anymore. As
they say, as the young people say, I'm old, I'm
forty eight years old, I don't say cook let this
(07:26):
story develop. In the eighties, we would have said let
it marinate, Let it marinate. Sorry, I think this one's
ready to go. I cannot wait. We record these on Mondays,
so I can't wait for tonight. Y'all hear this Wednesday
or later when Drew McIntyre comes and cuts his promo.
If cmpunk cuts it, I know what he's gonna say,
(07:48):
and it'll be good all his bad promos. On a
scale of one to ten or a nine, like when
he phones it in, it's better than ninety nine percent
of the other promos out there. But I know what
he's gonna say. I just want to hear what Drew
MacIntyre has to say. I want to know if he's
gonna scream. There's a scenario where he could even break
(08:09):
down and cry. I think Drew is good enough to
do it if he wanted to. I don't think he should.
I'm just saying there's a scenario where he could. I
don't know what's gonna happen when this Monday, nyroy Er
is if Punk's going to be out there and Drew's
just going to come in with a wrecking ball and
kill everybody in the arena and just go ahead, collateral tamage.
It's your fault you pasted. I have no idea, but
(08:32):
I know I want to see what's going to happen.
I'm ready for this story to go somewhere. They've had
enough time to develop it and write it out and
figure out where it's going to end. All the talent's
healthy and ready to wrestle and kick ass. I think
I hope Punk's healthy at this point. He's doing little
bits here and there. The beatdown that he took was
behind a metal door, so maybe he's still rehabbing, but
(08:53):
he looks physically ready. You just I don't have X
ray vision. I'm not an actual superhero. I just know
I never played one on TV. Never Mind that doesn't
work anyway. Moving on, I'm ready for the story to start.
I'm not gonna as as Sam Roberts would say, let
it cook. He's yeh. I want it to go now,
and I hope it starts immediately. I can't wait to
(09:14):
see where it goes. The match was cool, it just
felt too short. Hey, I got it wrong again with
the Intercontinental Championship, and I almost I almost after Jeff
(09:38):
made his case switched again, and I did not trust
my instincts on these picks at all. It was all
kind of like, oh, well, I worked for WWE, so
I think I can do it, and I outthought myself
on all these picks. I'm just going with my gut
instincts from now on, and that's a promise. So they
had their match. I don't this storyline can't be over.
(10:01):
But it's the first loss in a Monster's career, the
monster being broun Breaker. They I think did the right
thing in letting Sammy win. He should retain that for
a while. Braun can be super pissed and keep killing
people and making people pay for his loss. He's not
going to get humbled, no way, and eventually he can
(10:24):
be the IC champion. But but now yet, I don't
know where that story goes though, And it happened so quickly.
It was a match I was excited for, just to
see what was going to happen. But there's no meat
on there's no meat on that bonce. We're not going
to worry about that. And then we get to the
women's money in the Bank ladder match, which was EO Sky,
(10:45):
one of my favorites. She's so fricking cool and she
flips out of people's moves and looks at him and
it's like, yeah, fuck you what, Sorry for Curzy versus
friend of the show who we love, who we adore,
Chelsea Green versus Lyra about here, who's way bigger than
I thought, like, way taller and whiter than I thought
she was next to all those other girls Versus Tiffany Stratton,
(11:08):
who I believe. I believe that was my pick, wasn't it.
Versus Naomi versus Zoe Stark. I mean, I look, it
was a bad day. It was a bad day for
all of us degenerate gamblers, but we got one, and
that's the one that's going to keep us coming back.
It's like, I don't, well, I don't golf because I
think golf is stupid. But golfer say, it's that one
(11:28):
good shot that you hit that keeps you coming back.
I think the Robin Williams perspective on golf YouTube it
is the correct perspective on golf. And that's why I
don't play that stupid ass game. I watched wrestling on
Sundays instead, what or Saturdays? We got all the girls
in the match. The first five minutes were rough. A
lot of things got Chris Jericho says, there's no such
(11:49):
thing as a botch because it's live. You just kind
of go with it. But what people would call botches,
you know, mistakes that happened in the ring. I'm just
glad nobody got hurt once that girl, Lyra Valkyria was
hanging upside down on the ladder and got jacked up.
I EO Sky and then Zoe Starr came in Pao
hits her with the knee. From that moment forward, this
(12:11):
match was the match of the night, like it was
so much it was so much fun and Chelsea Green,
oh my god, we're not doing we're not doing match highlights.
But she took a fall that any single stunt man
or stunt woman would be absolutely proud of and stand
up in a plod from the top of the ladder
outside of the ring through two tables, twisted her body
(12:32):
and fell perfectly, I mean perfectly. It looked like a
movie stunt and it was awesome to watch, especially after
you get to know somebody. We got to interview her
on the show. If you haven't seen that episode, it
was just last week. Yeah, it was just last week,
so you can check that one out. She's awesome. We
love her on the show, can't wait to have her back,
just to talk about that move alone. But it looked
(12:54):
friggin awesome. And it was Tiffany Stratton who kicked her
off the ladder ah later, can I Love You? And
She's dead? And that was our pick because she has
a rocket ship attached to her, and because they have
no storyline for Bailey, so the storyline had to be
we just and what Bailey wasn't even in a title match,
(13:15):
so they have no story for Bailey intentionally because they
had to get this match off so that they could
get the briefcase on Tiffany and the storyline can be
Tiffany and Bailey. And I think eventually they're gonna give
Tiffany a shot, even though it's super early. I think
that rocket ship is real. I think it's it's the
Space Shuttle, and it is it is going to the
moon and back, and if it works, that's awesome, and
(13:39):
if it doesn't, they'll just say, hey, she's young and
give her more time. But I think every once in
a while, you got to take a chance on young
people if you see something in them, and I think
that's what I think they see something special in her,
so that will be the Bailey Tiffany storyline. Finally, well
not finally. We can still talk about the World Heavyweight Championship,
Cody Roads, Randy Orton, and Kevin Oh versus the bloodline,
(14:02):
and the bloodline is Solo Socoa Tomatanga I think it was,
and Jacob Fatu that I'll have cool last names. I
don't have a cool lass. My name is Freddy. Just
let that breathe. Don't edit that dead air out of
the show, Alex. Just just let that horrible name sit
there with everyone and realize the shit that I took
as a kid. The crap name Freddie. What's the betty?
(14:25):
That one sucks when you're like six years old, that
gets your mom called, well, Freddy punched a kid in
the face. Why someone said he sleeps with a Teddy
and his name is Freddy. It was like stupid shit
like that used to make me so mad. Plus being
a junior is brutal. Ask any or any sort of
legacy kid. Ask Cody Rhodes how hard it was growing
up being the sun at Dusty Rhodes. It's tough, all right,
(14:46):
I've got all my vulnerability out. Let's talk about the match.
The match was awesome, all right. Jacob Fatu is beat
up everybody. Tomatonga got his ass beat by everybody. These
are the match tilights. I'm from the first bell to
every time he gets tagged in. If he was in
the ring, it was the good guy's time to shine,
(15:09):
and this dude took a whoop in for like fifteen
of the thirty minutes that this match must have been.
It was so brutal. And then Jacoba too just come
beat shit out everybody and then tag in Solo, and
Solo just do a couple moves on a beat up
corpse and then if he got hit a couple of times,
he tag in his boy who would get beat down
and then helps sudden Ranijord to come in and kill everybody.
(15:31):
But it was a really good match. I'm not shitting
on it. It was just funny to see one guy
get beat up that much. Anyway, that's not why what
we're talking about. So what happens now, it doesn't even
matter who won. The story is what Solo Sikoa told us.
The story is going to be in his promo that
took place earlier. He wants the title, that's his motivation.
(15:57):
That's the story. The obstacle beyond the obvious one, which
is Cody Rhodes has it is Roman reigns because Paul Hayman,
if we all remember, said Roman said there was one rule,
and that's leave Cody till he gets back, till Roman returns,
and Solo's completely destroyed this rule. He's then justified the
(16:22):
destruction of the rule by saying Roman's not coming back
to even enforce this rule. So I'm gonna do whatever
the hell I want as the tribal chief, the leader,
the patriarch of this family. I shouldn't say patriarch, that's Christian,
but the head of this table, the head of the table,
that's what he's saying. He is. So his storyline revolves
(16:42):
around one thing, the World Championship. The World Championship puts
food in his family's mouth. Those are words that have
come out of his mouth when he wasn't drafted that high.
Are you trying to take food off my table? You're
trying to make it so I can't feed my family, Paul,
is that you're is that what you're doing to me?
He's constantly threatening poll with that kind of shit. This
stuff's important to him. He's ego driven like Roman Evil.
(17:05):
Roman was ego driven, right. This is an ego business,
and he's doing well on the mic. He gets better
every single week. His backstage stuff is gotten way better
than when that started. The story I'm telling you right
now is from a backstage promo that he told us
where he was dimly lit. He comes off legit. He
(17:26):
comes off tough as nails. Corey Graves calls him the
street champion. He comes off like a street champion, like
a kid who was beating your little brother's ass on
the streets and then you went to go defend your
little brother and he whooped you too. That's who Solo
Sokoa is and he wants the world championship. So what
does that mean for his story? Does that mean that
(17:49):
Roman reigns is gonna come back and be like exqueeze
me baking pottern. That's from Wayne's world. Young listeners have
no idea. What I just said, sorry, excuse me, I
beg your pardon is what Roman's saying at US nineties
translation for you. Then we go to the races with them.
I know there's rumblings online about what they're wanting to
do and bringing war games back and a new bloodline
(18:11):
and an old bloodline. I don't know anything about that.
I was informed of that. I don't have any scoops
or anything. But what happens before then? What if Roman
isn't coming back? Then? What do they do? How do
they keep Solo tough, scary and intimidating and not when
he loses destroy his credibility as the tribal chief and
(18:34):
the bloodline. Well, there's only one way, and they've only
done it once before in recent history, and that was
back in like the seven eighth nine John Cena Randy
Orton era, where the belt kept going back and forth
between them, and nobody else would have it except those
two dudes. I think Triple It's snuck in there a
(18:55):
couple times, but it was John Cena's belt. John Cena
was Captain America. He was Captain America. That's what he did.
That movie The Marine changed his whole gimmick from rapper
to all American men, not boy man, and he became
the one and he was never going to lose, and
he was never going to turn heel. I saw writers
(19:17):
try to pitch the heel, the eventual John Cena heel
turn and Vince would repeatedly say, there are children who
watch this show. They have to have a hero they
believe in. John Cena will never ever ever be a
heel again because little kids need to believe in him.
Little kids are what drive the business for the next
thirty years when they grow up and bring their kids
(19:37):
and they still love wrestling and they're still buying t
shirts and they're still buying toys and merchandise, merchandise, merchandise, merchandise.
Those things drive the stock up. All those things drive
the stock up. You have to have a man they
can believe in. And if he's losing, you can't count
on him. And if he turns on you, or you
think he's going to turn on you, you can't believe
in him. Roman Reigns was never gonna lose. He was
(20:13):
never gonna lose. It kept him strong, It kept him
super strong. Cody is in a position where he should
never lose. It's the new style of John Cena, although
Cody brings it in a very old school manner with
the three piece suits. I think he's even worn a
pocket watch with his suits, like he's old school wrestling
in a new school era. He's very okay with the
corporate world. He looks the corporate part. He's got the
(20:36):
square jaw, the hair's perfect every single show night. The
roots are always touched up, and the suits are always
crisp and clean. The guy looks the part of a
publicly traded company. Right, He's where Sena was coming out
in jean shorts right like now's now it's a suit,
it's a corporation. They're owned by the TKO Group. Cody
(20:56):
can't lose, right or can he? And the only way
in recent history the WWE and they repeat their own
history because that's where their best stories have come from.
It's not like the Bloodlines. The first awesome faction in
the history of the company is to go back. And
the most recent memory that I have of a belt
(21:18):
starting to go back and forth between two people was
Orton and Sena, which we'll get into more in the
unsanctioned Thursday episode where we talk about Sina who said
he was going to retire at money in the bank.
So we'll get into that on the Thursday show. So
stayed tuned. But if they did that, is Solo Socoa
the character ready and would the belt even look right
(21:41):
on him or is it still too new? Is still
is he still too fresh of a character? Not in
the ring? His work super clean and you can see
he uses psychology really well. I'm not talking about the man,
I'm talking about the character. Is the character ready to
wear gold? Or would that break our suspension of disbelief? Right?
(22:05):
The thing that makes us cry in a movie even
though we know someone else wrote wrote the film. And
when your favorite character dies, he didn't die, They just
stopped writing that character, but for some reason, it's still
evokes an emotion from us. Or when the good guy
beats the bag gun, we go yeah, fuck yeah, get
his ass, like we forget for a second, there's that
suspension of disbelief. Wrestling can do that too, when it's
(22:27):
really really good. A lot of times it's us having
to widen that gap for them with our own imagination
and we go okay, okay. But every once in a
while they don't require us to do that and we
can get behind a story like they did with Sammy's
Ain and the Bloodline is the most recent example where Maxwell,
Jacob Friedman and cmpunk. That is what I see as
(22:47):
the future for Cody Rhodes. If that's unclear here's the
short version. I think Cody has a chance to lose
the title, but he'll get it back quickly. The way
Randy and John went back and forth with one Another's
the only way I see this story working without Roman
Reigns coming back sooner rather than later to stop all
of Solo's plans and say no, no, no, no no,
(23:10):
I'm the tribal chief. You are not the tribal chief.
Cody's going to have a different story and we're going
to focus on this bloodline story here, and there'll be
other challengers for Cody roads to face, and we can
get into those as they happen. Now. I think the
more likely is that Roman comes back and puts a
holt to Solo's plans, because that's a hot story. If
(23:30):
anybody is into wrestling storylines, that would become the hottest
storyline in wrestling. But if they do choose to go
to the other route, if Roman is making movies and
is going to be gone another six months, then that's
the scenario that Cody could lose. And for you to go,
how could he lose? I gave you the recent history
of a scenario where that did actually happen, all right,
(23:50):
you guys, we're coming to a close, so we'll talk
a little aew and I mentioned the Maxwell Jacob Friedman
promo on Collisionsion is still not up to par with Dynamite.
So I'm not saying, hey, you have to watch Collision,
but you should watch the promo. I'm sure you can
see it online. But the Dynamite is where all their
numbers go. So if you just want to watch the
(24:10):
one Wednesday show, that's fine. But we did get a
storyline in aew finally, finally, it has been a long time.
And granted, their best storyteller is MJF. He was hurt,
he's back. I'm not even going to talk about his storyline.
That's not the story I'm talking about today. We're talking
about women's wrestling because Britt Baker is back in fucking wrestling,
(24:36):
and let everybody know in a promo the reason why
she's been gone is because she had a friggin mini stroke.
She looked one hundred percent, she looked great. She was
vulnerable on the microphone, which, even though it's not as
clean a promo as she usually cut, I was very
grateful for the stumbles in there because it felt very
(24:59):
real and honest and genuine, and she let everybody know
that she's back and it was a wonderful moment. And
who's she going to have beef with. She's going to
have beef with Mercedes Money, formerly known as Sasha Banks
from WWE. So we finally have a story. And Mercedes Money,
who was a babyface when she debuted just a few
(25:21):
short months ago, weeks ago, months ago in Boston, her
hometown where they love her, and they still had given
her love all the way through the pay per view,
all the way up to through the forbidden door match
post Willow, but here's Britt Baker, and Britt Baker helped
(25:42):
build aw She helped build the women's division. She was
the title holder and was not going to lose that
title for a very long time and didn't lose it
for a very long time. She has an awesome submission
because she's a dentist and she does a mandible claw
and I just think that's friggin genius and she's a
real tennis and Mercedes Money is going to interrupt her
(26:06):
speech with her own championship celebration because she felt some
of her shine was taken, so she's going to take
some shine now from Britt Baker. And these two women
went off on one another, and I'll say this round
one was britt Baker. Round one was not even close.
(26:26):
It was a ten eight round like, it was not close,
and Mercedes was throwing the jabs out there. She was
throwing the jabs, but britt Baker was like, nope, nope, nope,
and then boom hit her with encounters and it was awesome.
It made the entire crowd get behind and look, Mercedes
has to be there for that. She has to take
(26:47):
all that and if she's not willing to, then the
segment sucks. So it's kudos to her as well. But
the crowd got so behind Britt as they should. She's
the one who's making the comeback. She's the one who
who was on the shelf for I think nine frigging
months or maybe even longer. It was too damn long,
is what it was. So the crowd was hungry and
they're so grateful for her. Because the aw crowds are
(27:08):
like are like like the most loyal dog ever, right,
So a lot of them won't even watch WWE. They're like, no,
only aew whereas I watch everything. But they're loyal to
their own and she is a homegrown, like founding mother
of the company. Like they love her, love her, love her.
So the crowd is one hundred percent behind her. At
this point. I'm not hearing a single cheer or anything
(27:31):
from Mercedes. And this is gonna be an awesome story
because Mercedes can talk a bit on the mic. She
doesn't have as good a promo as Brittany, but she's
cut promos that are as good as some of brit Brits.
If that makes sense, I think it does. So she's
gonna have something to say in a response, and if
she doesn't, then it's gonna be a physical response, and
she's gonna beat britt Baker's ass in the ring before
(27:51):
the matches even start, with like a steel chair or
kendo stick or whatever else she wants. But if they
give this some time, this one would say, give time,
let it marinate, give this one some time. Don't rush
this one rush Drew and Punk. We've waited long enough
for that if Punk's healthy, obviously, but this one, you
can kind of let them go back and forth. We
(28:12):
can get some interference, some things that stop matches, some
things that don't give us a conclusion that we're satisfied with,
so they have to wrestle again. It doesn't just have
to end and then boom we move on to the
next one. M JFF and CM punk got three matches.
I think out of that you can get three matches
out of these two and I really hope aw does
(28:36):
you guys we ask you for listener reviews and we
ask you to give us five stars. Well, Jeff does
I say give us the stars you think we're worthy of?
Jeff gets mad when you guys talk trash. So as
a way to say thanks, we try to read some
of them on the air. We're going to do another
one now. We got five stars. So this is from
Glamour's eight. Glamors whatever your real name is, Thank you
(28:57):
very much, Thank you Glamours eight. By the way, it's
my lucky num. And this is so nice. I don't
even want to read. It's too nice. I don't do
well with compliments. Excellent pod five stars. I only have
one question for Jeff and Freddy. Do you believe in
Joe Hendry? All right? Do you mean like believe in him?
Like does he actually exist? Or do I believe that
he's got a shot to make it in WWE. I'll
(29:19):
say this, they're working with TNA. They're working with TNA.
So if they believe, I got to see more than
just you know, popping up, so give me time. But
if it's do I actually believe in his existence? Like,
is he like God? Like wrestling God? He's not JBL baby,
There's only one wrestling God and it's John. We won't
(29:39):
do that anyway. Appreciate you guys. Stay tuned for Unsinction Thursdays.
We're going to talk about John Cena and his announcement
to retire from wrestling, and a bunch of other stuff too.
Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you tomorrow, Peerce. This
has been a production of Iheart'smichael Toura podcast Network. For
more podcasts from iHeartRadio, visit the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Now he's cost Drew everything. He's cost He's made Drew
quit the company, He's made Drew lose his mind, He's
made Drew crack under pressure. He's cost through the World
Championship multiple times. This is going to be a deathmatch,
and I mean an actual death match, like Drew's gonna
want to kill Sam Punk.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
And now you're made even introducing No Hosts a wrestling
win for Reddy Chef Die and for Ready Friz Tunior.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
What's up, everybody? Welcome back to wrestling with Freddy No Friends. Today.
I'm flying solo, so you're stuck with me. I hope
everybody had a fantastic week and weekend of wrestling. When
we get the extra Saturday Sunday shows, those are always
good weekends. Money in the bank has come and went.
We'll speak about that and where those storylines are going
to go. Stay tuned for Unsanctioned Thursday. We'll talk about
(00:58):
John Cena retirement and get into my history for those
who don't know that I had with him when I
worked there, both good and bad. It was all good
on my side. He just didn't want me there. We
will well deep dive into it. It's going to start right. No,
all right, everybody, welcome back, Thanks for listening to our
awesome intro. Thank you to everyone who put that together.
(01:21):
It's the only awesome intro I've ever had. Twenty twenty
four's Money in the Bank was WWE's most successful arena
event in Canada ever, not Canadia, but Canada. Wrestling keeps
breaking records after record after record in the last like
two three years, whether it's AEW or WWE. Everybody that
was like, yeah, wrestling's dying that didn't listen to this
(01:43):
show where I said, no, this is a renaissance or
a renaissance which is a rebirth of wrestling. If you
listen to this show, you already knew. You already knew
that these records are going to be broken, because you
already knew wrestling was on the climb, just like they
had to climb these damn ladders in the most dangerous
freaking match. And yeah, you love those smooth transitions in
(02:04):
Money in the Bank. So we're going to talk about
both matches and we'll get into, of course, the main event,
which was the three on three the Bloodline with Solo
Socoa or Sequoia, as Jeff used to call him Cody Rhodes,
Kevin Owens in Canada, and the near three hundred pound
Randy Orton. He's so freaking jack yet. Now, what should
we talk about first? What should we talk about first? Oh,
(02:25):
we can do some news. Highest grossing WWE arena event
in Canadian history. That's pretty awesome. What else? What else?
Revenue stream was largely thanks to the crowd. The ww
announced that forty over forty five thousand fans attended the
string of three shows in Toronto's Scotia Bank. I always
want to say Nova Scotia Bank, but it's just Scotia
(02:47):
Bank Arena. That was SmackDown Money in the Bank and
NXD heat Wave NXT gets a big bump from being
there with the others. So that's a sick number, but
they're getting in an extra bump because of the other shows. Also,
Sammy's Ainin did a comedy show. A lot of wrestlers
have comedy shows. The Nammath brothers have comedy shows. Who
else has done him? Bruce Pritchard has done him in
(03:07):
the past, Sammy's done A lot of people have been
doing this. We got to do our old comedy show man.
I get some well all the good stand up comics
already go to those shows anyway, because they all have
professional wrestling, all right. The Men's Money in the Bank
ladder match Jay Uso, which was my pick. And before
we get into this, guys, I owe everyone an absolute apology.
(03:28):
If you were betting, you did not and you were
and you were listening to me, you did not have
a good week, and for that I apologize. However, before that,
I've delivered to y'all at least twice before. I think
we've only been doing this. This was the third one
where we were talking money. But usually I do much
better on these predictions. So I apologize to all of you.
(03:51):
We will do better. I will say this. We record
these on Mondays and Monday Night. After Monday Night Raw,
I texted on our wrestling text that Drew McIntyre was
going to win money in the ban because zacting was
so good you kind of gave it away. It was
better than normal, and I think he's good normally, but
it was there was so much truth in his face
that I was like, Oh, that dude is winning. I
wish I could change my pick right now, but we can't.
(04:12):
I picked Jay us It was Jay USO versus Carmelo
Hayes Andrade, Chad Gable, La Night and the winner Drew McIntyre. McIntyre.
This match was pretty good, but it was short. It
was really really quick, and I didn't feel like it
needed to be. But I guess they had other They
(04:33):
had other plans that needed more time. They knew the
story they were going to tell with Drew, which is
a very sort of painted into a corner story. We
all know it's the cmpunk story. So once he wins,
he already made this promise that he's going to cash
in that night, and he's going to walk away the
world heavyweight champion. And nothing is better than when a
(04:54):
wrestler makes a promise and is able to keep it.
It was something that we fought against when I worked
there back in the day because I was taught by
the old school guys. If a wrestler doesn't keep his promise,
then he's gonna if it's the baby face, then he's
gonna look like a punk and he can't get over.
And it's not that he can't get over. I think
that's a little extreme, but it makes it extremely difficult
(05:15):
to get over once you've sort of broken that promise,
and when I worked there, we fought for that philosophy,
and Vince would kind of break it whenever he break
that rule, whenever he felt like it. It didn't matter.
Heels could lie, but babyfaces couldn't. So and Drew is
a badass baby. He's not a heel, He's not a baby.
He's this new hybrid form. But he made a promise
and he made good on it. He freaking won the match,
(05:39):
and we get to seth Rawlins and Damien Priest that night.
Later that night and they have their main event, which
Damian Priest wins, and we won't get into match highlights
or anything like that. We're just going to talk story.
And I think the future of Damien his Finn. So
he keeps his promise, he cashes in. He's going to
become the world champion. And who's there? Everyone says at
(06:03):
the same time, we knew it, CM Punk, nobody picked
jos Open me. I get it. Sampunk comes out and
screws him over again, and there's nothing Drew can do
about it. And this has set up a story for
these two gentlemen that I think will happen at SummerSlam.
I mean it could happen that soon. They could stretch
(06:24):
it out for a long time if they wanted to.
But this is going to become one of the best
stories in wrestling. It's cool right now, but it's there's
not enough meat on the bone, right and now there's
nothing in the other wrestler's way. There's not an injury
right and I think they had to switch gears on
(06:44):
this story anyway, So credit to them for this. They
just had to make it cool until they could come
up with the story because Punk got injured. I think
his story was originally going to be with Seth Rollins,
but it's him and Drew, and now he's cost Drew everything.
He's made Drew quit the company. He's made Drew lose
(07:05):
his mind, He's made Drew crack under pressure. He's cost
through the World Championship multiple times. This is going to
be a death match, and I mean an actual death match,
like Drew's gonna want to kill Ciam Punk. I don't
think you have to let this story cook anymore. As
they say, as the young people say, I'm old, I'm
forty eight years old, I don't say cook let this
(07:26):
story develop. In the eighties, we would have said let
it marinate, Let it marinate. Sorry, I think this one's
ready to go. I cannot wait. We record these on Mondays,
so I can't wait for tonight. Y'all hear this Wednesday
or later when Drew McIntyre comes and cuts his promo.
If cmpunk cuts it, I know what he's gonna say,
(07:48):
and it'll be good all his bad promos. On a
scale of one to ten or a nine, like when
he phones it in, it's better than ninety nine percent
of the other promos out there. But I know what
he's gonna say. I just want to hear what Drew
MacIntyre has to say. I want to know if he's
gonna scream. There's a scenario where he could even break
(08:09):
down and cry. I think Drew is good enough to
do it if he wanted to. I don't think he should.
I'm just saying there's a scenario where he could. I
don't know what's gonna happen when this Monday, nyroy Er
is if Punk's going to be out there and Drew's
just going to come in with a wrecking ball and
kill everybody in the arena and just go ahead, collateral tamage.
It's your fault you pasted. I have no idea, but
(08:32):
I know I want to see what's going to happen.
I'm ready for this story to go somewhere. They've had
enough time to develop it and write it out and
figure out where it's going to end. All the talent's
healthy and ready to wrestle and kick ass. I think
I hope Punk's healthy at this point. He's doing little
bits here and there. The beatdown that he took was
behind a metal door, so maybe he's still rehabbing, but
(08:53):
he looks physically ready. You just I don't have X
ray vision. I'm not an actual superhero. I just know
I never played one on TV. Never Mind that doesn't
work anyway. Moving on, I'm ready for the story to start.
I'm not gonna as as Sam Roberts would say, let
it cook. He's yeh. I want it to go now,
and I hope it starts immediately. I can't wait to
(09:14):
see where it goes. The match was cool, it just
felt too short. Hey, I got it wrong again with
the Intercontinental Championship, and I almost I almost after Jeff
(09:38):
made his case switched again, and I did not trust
my instincts on these picks at all. It was all
kind of like, oh, well, I worked for WWE, so
I think I can do it, and I outthought myself
on all these picks. I'm just going with my gut
instincts from now on, and that's a promise. So they
had their match. I don't this storyline can't be over.
(10:01):
But it's the first loss in a Monster's career, the
monster being broun Breaker. They I think did the right
thing in letting Sammy win. He should retain that for
a while. Braun can be super pissed and keep killing
people and making people pay for his loss. He's not
going to get humbled, no way, and eventually he can
(10:24):
be the IC champion. But but now yet, I don't
know where that story goes though, And it happened so quickly.
It was a match I was excited for, just to
see what was going to happen. But there's no meat
on there's no meat on that bonce. We're not going
to worry about that. And then we get to the
women's money in the Bank ladder match, which was EO Sky,
(10:45):
one of my favorites. She's so fricking cool and she
flips out of people's moves and looks at him and
it's like, yeah, fuck you what, Sorry for Curzy versus
friend of the show who we love, who we adore,
Chelsea Green versus Lyra about here, who's way bigger than
I thought, like, way taller and whiter than I thought
she was next to all those other girls Versus Tiffany Stratton,
(11:08):
who I believe. I believe that was my pick, wasn't it.
Versus Naomi versus Zoe Stark. I mean, I look, it
was a bad day. It was a bad day for
all of us degenerate gamblers, but we got one, and
that's the one that's going to keep us coming back.
It's like, I don't, well, I don't golf because I
think golf is stupid. But golfer say, it's that one
(11:28):
good shot that you hit that keeps you coming back.
I think the Robin Williams perspective on golf YouTube it
is the correct perspective on golf. And that's why I
don't play that stupid ass game. I watched wrestling on
Sundays instead, what or Saturdays? We got all the girls
in the match. The first five minutes were rough. A
lot of things got Chris Jericho says, there's no such
(11:49):
thing as a botch because it's live. You just kind
of go with it. But what people would call botches,
you know, mistakes that happened in the ring. I'm just
glad nobody got hurt once that girl, Lyra Valkyria was
hanging upside down on the ladder and got jacked up.
I EO Sky and then Zoe Starr came in Pao
hits her with the knee. From that moment forward, this
(12:11):
match was the match of the night, like it was
so much it was so much fun and Chelsea Green,
oh my god, we're not doing we're not doing match highlights.
But she took a fall that any single stunt man
or stunt woman would be absolutely proud of and stand
up in a plod from the top of the ladder
outside of the ring through two tables, twisted her body
(12:32):
and fell perfectly, I mean perfectly. It looked like a
movie stunt and it was awesome to watch, especially after
you get to know somebody. We got to interview her
on the show. If you haven't seen that episode, it
was just last week. Yeah, it was just last week,
so you can check that one out. She's awesome. We
love her on the show, can't wait to have her back,
just to talk about that move alone. But it looked
(12:54):
friggin awesome. And it was Tiffany Stratton who kicked her
off the ladder ah later, can I Love You? And
She's dead? And that was our pick because she has
a rocket ship attached to her, and because they have
no storyline for Bailey, so the storyline had to be
we just and what Bailey wasn't even in a title match,
(13:15):
so they have no story for Bailey intentionally because they
had to get this match off so that they could
get the briefcase on Tiffany and the storyline can be
Tiffany and Bailey. And I think eventually they're gonna give
Tiffany a shot, even though it's super early. I think
that rocket ship is real. I think it's it's the
Space Shuttle, and it is it is going to the
moon and back, and if it works, that's awesome, and
(13:39):
if it doesn't, they'll just say, hey, she's young and
give her more time. But I think every once in
a while, you got to take a chance on young
people if you see something in them, and I think
that's what I think they see something special in her,
so that will be the Bailey Tiffany storyline. Finally, well
not finally. We can still talk about the World Heavyweight Championship,
Cody Roads, Randy Orton, and Kevin Oh versus the bloodline,
(14:02):
and the bloodline is Solo Socoa Tomatanga I think it was,
and Jacob Fatu that I'll have cool last names. I
don't have a cool lass. My name is Freddy. Just
let that breathe. Don't edit that dead air out of
the show, Alex. Just just let that horrible name sit
there with everyone and realize the shit that I took
as a kid. The crap name Freddie. What's the betty?
(14:25):
That one sucks when you're like six years old, that
gets your mom called, well, Freddy punched a kid in
the face. Why someone said he sleeps with a Teddy
and his name is Freddy. It was like stupid shit
like that used to make me so mad. Plus being
a junior is brutal. Ask any or any sort of
legacy kid. Ask Cody Rhodes how hard it was growing
up being the sun at Dusty Rhodes. It's tough, all right,
(14:46):
I've got all my vulnerability out. Let's talk about the match.
The match was awesome, all right. Jacob Fatu is beat
up everybody. Tomatonga got his ass beat by everybody. These
are the match tilights. I'm from the first bell to
every time he gets tagged in. If he was in
the ring, it was the good guy's time to shine,
(15:09):
and this dude took a whoop in for like fifteen
of the thirty minutes that this match must have been.
It was so brutal. And then Jacoba too just come
beat shit out everybody and then tag in Solo, and
Solo just do a couple moves on a beat up
corpse and then if he got hit a couple of times,
he tag in his boy who would get beat down
and then helps sudden Ranijord to come in and kill everybody.
(15:31):
But it was a really good match. I'm not shitting
on it. It was just funny to see one guy
get beat up that much. Anyway, that's not why what
we're talking about. So what happens now, it doesn't even
matter who won. The story is what Solo Sikoa told us.
The story is going to be in his promo that
took place earlier. He wants the title, that's his motivation.
(15:57):
That's the story. The obstacle beyond the obvious one, which
is Cody Rhodes has it is Roman reigns because Paul Hayman,
if we all remember, said Roman said there was one rule,
and that's leave Cody till he gets back, till Roman returns,
and Solo's completely destroyed this rule. He's then justified the
(16:22):
destruction of the rule by saying Roman's not coming back
to even enforce this rule. So I'm gonna do whatever
the hell I want as the tribal chief, the leader,
the patriarch of this family. I shouldn't say patriarch, that's Christian,
but the head of this table, the head of the table,
that's what he's saying. He is. So his storyline revolves
(16:42):
around one thing, the World Championship. The World Championship puts
food in his family's mouth. Those are words that have
come out of his mouth when he wasn't drafted that high.
Are you trying to take food off my table? You're
trying to make it so I can't feed my family, Paul,
is that you're is that what you're doing to me?
He's constantly threatening poll with that kind of shit. This
stuff's important to him. He's ego driven like Roman Evil.
(17:05):
Roman was ego driven, right. This is an ego business,
and he's doing well on the mic. He gets better
every single week. His backstage stuff is gotten way better
than when that started. The story I'm telling you right
now is from a backstage promo that he told us
where he was dimly lit. He comes off legit. He
(17:26):
comes off tough as nails. Corey Graves calls him the
street champion. He comes off like a street champion, like
a kid who was beating your little brother's ass on
the streets and then you went to go defend your
little brother and he whooped you too. That's who Solo
Sokoa is and he wants the world championship. So what
does that mean for his story? Does that mean that
(17:49):
Roman reigns is gonna come back and be like exqueeze
me baking pottern. That's from Wayne's world. Young listeners have
no idea. What I just said, sorry, excuse me, I
beg your pardon is what Roman's saying at US nineties
translation for you. Then we go to the races with them.
I know there's rumblings online about what they're wanting to
do and bringing war games back and a new bloodline
(18:11):
and an old bloodline. I don't know anything about that.
I was informed of that. I don't have any scoops
or anything. But what happens before then? What if Roman
isn't coming back? Then? What do they do? How do
they keep Solo tough, scary and intimidating and not when
he loses destroy his credibility as the tribal chief and
(18:34):
the bloodline. Well, there's only one way, and they've only
done it once before in recent history, and that was
back in like the seven eighth nine John Cena Randy
Orton era, where the belt kept going back and forth
between them, and nobody else would have it except those
two dudes. I think Triple It's snuck in there a
(18:55):
couple times, but it was John Cena's belt. John Cena
was Captain America. He was Captain America. That's what he did.
That movie The Marine changed his whole gimmick from rapper
to all American men, not boy man, and he became
the one and he was never going to lose, and
he was never going to turn heel. I saw writers
(19:17):
try to pitch the heel, the eventual John Cena heel
turn and Vince would repeatedly say, there are children who
watch this show. They have to have a hero they
believe in. John Cena will never ever ever be a
heel again because little kids need to believe in him.
Little kids are what drive the business for the next
thirty years when they grow up and bring their kids
(19:37):
and they still love wrestling and they're still buying t
shirts and they're still buying toys and merchandise, merchandise, merchandise, merchandise.
Those things drive the stock up. All those things drive
the stock up. You have to have a man they
can believe in. And if he's losing, you can't count
on him. And if he turns on you, or you
think he's going to turn on you, you can't believe
in him. Roman Reigns was never gonna lose. He was
(20:13):
never gonna lose. It kept him strong, It kept him
super strong. Cody is in a position where he should
never lose. It's the new style of John Cena, although
Cody brings it in a very old school manner with
the three piece suits. I think he's even worn a
pocket watch with his suits, like he's old school wrestling
in a new school era. He's very okay with the
corporate world. He looks the corporate part. He's got the
(20:36):
square jaw, the hair's perfect every single show night. The
roots are always touched up, and the suits are always
crisp and clean. The guy looks the part of a
publicly traded company. Right, He's where Sena was coming out
in jean shorts right like now's now it's a suit,
it's a corporation. They're owned by the TKO Group. Cody
(20:56):
can't lose, right or can he? And the only way
in recent history the WWE and they repeat their own
history because that's where their best stories have come from.
It's not like the Bloodlines. The first awesome faction in
the history of the company is to go back. And
the most recent memory that I have of a belt
(21:18):
starting to go back and forth between two people was
Orton and Sena, which we'll get into more in the
unsanctioned Thursday episode where we talk about Sina who said
he was going to retire at money in the bank.
So we'll get into that on the Thursday show. So
stayed tuned. But if they did that, is Solo Socoa
the character ready and would the belt even look right
(21:41):
on him or is it still too new? Is still
is he still too fresh of a character? Not in
the ring? His work super clean and you can see
he uses psychology really well. I'm not talking about the man,
I'm talking about the character. Is the character ready to
wear gold? Or would that break our suspension of disbelief? Right?
(22:05):
The thing that makes us cry in a movie even
though we know someone else wrote wrote the film. And
when your favorite character dies, he didn't die, They just
stopped writing that character, but for some reason, it's still
evokes an emotion from us. Or when the good guy
beats the bag gun, we go yeah, fuck yeah, get
his ass, like we forget for a second, there's that
suspension of disbelief. Wrestling can do that too, when it's
(22:27):
really really good. A lot of times it's us having
to widen that gap for them with our own imagination
and we go okay, okay. But every once in a
while they don't require us to do that and we
can get behind a story like they did with Sammy's
Ain and the Bloodline is the most recent example where Maxwell,
Jacob Friedman and cmpunk. That is what I see as
(22:47):
the future for Cody Rhodes. If that's unclear here's the
short version. I think Cody has a chance to lose
the title, but he'll get it back quickly. The way
Randy and John went back and forth with one Another's
the only way I see this story working without Roman
Reigns coming back sooner rather than later to stop all
of Solo's plans and say no, no, no, no no,
(23:10):
I'm the tribal chief. You are not the tribal chief.
Cody's going to have a different story and we're going
to focus on this bloodline story here, and there'll be
other challengers for Cody roads to face, and we can
get into those as they happen. Now. I think the
more likely is that Roman comes back and puts a
holt to Solo's plans, because that's a hot story. If
(23:30):
anybody is into wrestling storylines, that would become the hottest
storyline in wrestling. But if they do choose to go
to the other route, if Roman is making movies and
is going to be gone another six months, then that's
the scenario that Cody could lose. And for you to go,
how could he lose? I gave you the recent history
of a scenario where that did actually happen, all right,
(23:50):
you guys, we're coming to a close, so we'll talk
a little aew and I mentioned the Maxwell Jacob Friedman
promo on Collisionsion is still not up to par with Dynamite.
So I'm not saying, hey, you have to watch Collision,
but you should watch the promo. I'm sure you can
see it online. But the Dynamite is where all their
numbers go. So if you just want to watch the
(24:10):
one Wednesday show, that's fine. But we did get a
storyline in aew finally, finally, it has been a long time.
And granted, their best storyteller is MJF. He was hurt,
he's back. I'm not even going to talk about his storyline.
That's not the story I'm talking about today. We're talking
about women's wrestling because Britt Baker is back in fucking wrestling,
(24:36):
and let everybody know in a promo the reason why
she's been gone is because she had a friggin mini stroke.
She looked one hundred percent, she looked great. She was
vulnerable on the microphone, which, even though it's not as
clean a promo as she usually cut, I was very
grateful for the stumbles in there because it felt very
(24:59):
real and honest and genuine, and she let everybody know
that she's back and it was a wonderful moment. And
who's she going to have beef with. She's going to
have beef with Mercedes Money, formerly known as Sasha Banks
from WWE. So we finally have a story. And Mercedes Money,
who was a babyface when she debuted just a few
(25:21):
short months ago, weeks ago, months ago in Boston, her
hometown where they love her, and they still had given
her love all the way through the pay per view,
all the way up to through the forbidden door match
post Willow, but here's Britt Baker, and Britt Baker helped
(25:42):
build aw She helped build the women's division. She was
the title holder and was not going to lose that
title for a very long time and didn't lose it
for a very long time. She has an awesome submission
because she's a dentist and she does a mandible claw
and I just think that's friggin genius and she's a
real tennis and Mercedes Money is going to interrupt her
(26:06):
speech with her own championship celebration because she felt some
of her shine was taken, so she's going to take
some shine now from Britt Baker. And these two women
went off on one another, and I'll say this round
one was britt Baker. Round one was not even close.
(26:26):
It was a ten eight round like, it was not close,
and Mercedes was throwing the jabs out there. She was
throwing the jabs, but britt Baker was like, nope, nope, nope,
and then boom hit her with encounters and it was awesome.
It made the entire crowd get behind and look, Mercedes
has to be there for that. She has to take
(26:47):
all that and if she's not willing to, then the
segment sucks. So it's kudos to her as well. But
the crowd got so behind Britt as they should. She's
the one who's making the comeback. She's the one who
who was on the shelf for I think nine frigging
months or maybe even longer. It was too damn long,
is what it was. So the crowd was hungry and
they're so grateful for her. Because the aw crowds are
(27:08):
like are like like the most loyal dog ever, right,
So a lot of them won't even watch WWE. They're like, no,
only aew whereas I watch everything. But they're loyal to
their own and she is a homegrown, like founding mother
of the company. Like they love her, love her, love her.
So the crowd is one hundred percent behind her. At
this point. I'm not hearing a single cheer or anything
(27:31):
from Mercedes. And this is gonna be an awesome story
because Mercedes can talk a bit on the mic. She
doesn't have as good a promo as Brittany, but she's
cut promos that are as good as some of brit Brits.
If that makes sense, I think it does. So she's
gonna have something to say in a response, and if
she doesn't, then it's gonna be a physical response, and
she's gonna beat britt Baker's ass in the ring before
(27:51):
the matches even start, with like a steel chair or
kendo stick or whatever else she wants. But if they
give this some time, this one would say, give time,
let it marinate, give this one some time. Don't rush
this one rush Drew and Punk. We've waited long enough
for that if Punk's healthy, obviously, but this one, you
can kind of let them go back and forth. We
(28:12):
can get some interference, some things that stop matches, some
things that don't give us a conclusion that we're satisfied with,
so they have to wrestle again. It doesn't just have
to end and then boom we move on to the
next one. M JFF and CM punk got three matches.
I think out of that you can get three matches
out of these two and I really hope aw does
(28:36):
you guys we ask you for listener reviews and we
ask you to give us five stars. Well, Jeff does
I say give us the stars you think we're worthy of?
Jeff gets mad when you guys talk trash. So as
a way to say thanks, we try to read some
of them on the air. We're going to do another
one now. We got five stars. So this is from
Glamour's eight. Glamors whatever your real name is, Thank you
(28:57):
very much, Thank you Glamours eight. By the way, it's
my lucky num. And this is so nice. I don't
even want to read. It's too nice. I don't do
well with compliments. Excellent pod five stars. I only have
one question for Jeff and Freddy. Do you believe in
Joe Hendry? All right? Do you mean like believe in him?
Like does he actually exist? Or do I believe that
he's got a shot to make it in WWE. I'll
(29:19):
say this, they're working with TNA. They're working with TNA.
So if they believe, I got to see more than
just you know, popping up, so give me time. But
if it's do I actually believe in his existence? Like,
is he like God? Like wrestling God? He's not JBL baby,
There's only one wrestling God and it's John. We won't
(29:39):
do that anyway. Appreciate you guys. Stay tuned for Unsinction Thursdays.
We're going to talk about John Cena and his announcement
to retire from wrestling, and a bunch of other stuff too.
Thanks for tuning in. I'll see you tomorrow, Peerce. This
