Official SummerSlam Predictions & Mailbag #195

I'm traveling tomorrow, so I'm gonna get through the mail bag as quick as i can and then get through the predictions in about forty minutes. Let's see if that actually happens. All right. By the way, you can join Patreon. Good time to do it, because everything is ad free. You get a Discord server and you can have a great time over the Discord server with all the other patrons and wrestling fans, and you can also get it for free for seven days. So I think that's a

pretty good deal. Free ad free. All right, let's go to Let's go to DJ Kuzma. We haven't started off with you in a while, and he says, finally, SummerSlam is almost here. Interesting to think that if this year's SummerSlam was a two night event, what match do you think would have main event at Night two? With all the rumors of romand returning this Saturday, it made me think that to simpler times of the forgotten twenty twenty SummerSlam of four years ago, when no one knew Roman

would return and debut as a heel. I mean, I think if it was Night two, it would be Solo and Cody, no question asked. But you can also make an argument for Drew and Punk. But everything is about that WWE Championship around Cody's waist, and if the Roman reigns returns, then yeah, you gotta If there was a night too, it would be that match. All right. So here's your predictions, DJ, for Bailey and Naya for the Women's Championship. You're thinking Naya Jacks wins due to Naomi

costing Bailly the match, Yes, I said it. I think we get a Naomi heel turn as Queen Nya and Tippy Time laugh and mock Bailey. No, I don't mind that. I think that's a pretty smart call and I would love it because Naomi is doing exactly nothing, so I think that's a great thing for her to be somewhat relevant. All right, let's go to the next match here, Rha and Morgan, and for the Women's World title, you're predicting that Live retains with the outside help from either Dirty

Dam or Finn. For La Knight and Logan Paul for the US title, you're thinking La Knight wins due to a failed attempt from either Logan or his crew of trying to use the brass nuts behind the reps back. Plus it's time for La Knight to win a title on the main roster. It's hard for me to respond to this without giving away my predictions. But Sammy versus bron Breaker for the IC Championship, you're thinking Breaker wins, as this will be the crowning moment in his young

career on the main roster. But for Sammy, I think this begins his involvement with the Bloodline reunion, as he and Jake could potentially go after the World Tag Team Championships first before the inevitable og Bloodline reunion. You're very smart on these picks, DJ, I'll leave it at that. Cody Roads versus Solo so Co for the Unisputed Championship, you're thinking Cody retains and we get the infamous return of you know who. Damian Priest versus Gunther World Heavyweight Championship.

I'm predicting that Gunther will win, even though Priest has improved this champ against the critics in the IWC. In my opinion, I think the bigger story in this match is the future of the Judgment Day, especially a potential faction breakup and feud of Balert versus Priest. I might be wrong about this prediction, but just remember it's only an opinion. And finally, Punk and Drew. You're thinking Drew wins to finally get some come up and so on

Punk for the many times Punk has screwed McIntyre. McIntyre needs this win to Can you continue to build a up for potential Punk versus Drew at Bash and Berlin and the finale at Bad Blood. I really wish this match was the main event because Seth is most likely going to help McIntire get the victory with all kinds of in ring shenanigans. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Anyway, this is TJ

cuzmost signing off. Enjoy SummerSlam, have a great weekend, and see you all in the Discord chat for Friday night. It's SmackDown in Cleveland, Ohio. All right, Thank you, DJ, and we'll get to the Joe Hendrew report on the backside of the mailbag portion of the show. Thank you, my friend. Let's go to another patron and this is Matt and he says Matt b He says, Hey, I just wanted to say I do think Seth will turn

heel on Saturd. They're obviously building to Seth versus Punk prematurely if you ask me, but one of them has to be a heel and it isn't going to be Punk. Also, would you think if WWE kept Roman a heel after his What would you think if WWE kept Roman a heel after his return? And we all think the Rock is the one pulling the strings behind the new bloodline, but what if it's really Roman? Then that can build for a heel. Roman versus Baby Faced Rock at WrestleMania

forty one. Sorry for the long email, thank you for your time in good babe, have a good vacation. Thank you, Matt. And certainly not a long email. I mean, have you heard our emails before. Certainly not long. Okay, well, I don't think they'll do that. I think that there's too much love for Roman right now. And isn't this word Wwe envisioned Roman anyway? Isn't this with the destination they

wanted him to be at. It would make no sense for them to try to flip back because also the Rock in his current character again, we haven't seen him in four months, but when he comes back, he should be the Final Boss. It was working. There's a lot of tread left on that tire. There's more story to tell with the Final Boss character. I don't think there's any reason to try to flip it. To flip it, don't force things. I mean, I would have loved, honestly,

a Babyfaced Rock versus Heel Roman. That's the match I was hoping for. It doesn't look like we're gonna get that. We'll get the match, I think, but I think it's gonna be with the Roles reversed with the Rock as a heel. Roman is babyface when that match does happen. But yeah, no, good, good question. And you know I do think that it's it's getting close to a Roman return and Rock return for that matter. All right, let's go to Dino with more Summer Slam predictions than he says.

Sammy retains, Logan, Paul retains, Live Morgan retains. Tiffany Stratton will cash in her money in the bank and become the new women's champion, regardless of what happens or who wins that match. Drew beats c'un. I have a feeling that match will end in an o contest when Seth b starts beating both men with a steel chair. Damian Priest retains against Gunther And here's the boldest prediction, Solo Soko will be the new undisputed champion. Well, okay, that

would be insane. And I don't mean that in a way that your predictions insane. I mean that would be bold by w W as you just put it, because they just told us that Cody's ushering in a new era at WrestleMania forty. When you're ushering in a new era. What kind of message would it send fans when they turn around and then put that very championship that Cody fought to claim for two years right back on a guy that helped take it off of him or kept

him from it, especially at WrestleMania thirty nine. Be ballsy. I don't even think bold is enough to say what it would do and what it would mean. I think ballsy is certainly the word. All right, uh so Roman will not return here, but in fact it will be the Rock who comes out and gives Cody a rock bottom and then possibly someone Spike from Solo one two three,

and Solo's the new undisputed champion. This, in my opinion, will make the New bloodline look very strong ahead of Roman's highly anticipated return, especially when Jacob Fatu and Company become new tag team champions on SmackDown Friday. Yes, that's

another prediction. I think we will wait a little longer for Roman, and with Cody getting his rematch against Solo at Bad Blood, and I think this is where Roman returns, costing Solo the match and helping Cody in front of his hometown crowd and Atlanta, cementing Roman as the baby face and Solo and his team as heels ahead of survivisories. That is a really smart prediction, Dino. This is why I've been saying for months there's really no bad way

to do this. There's good ways, very good ways, great ways, but there's no really bad way to do this. I mean, you can't almost, but I really do like that. It's something I never thought about. Now. I floated out there that it's possible Roman does not come back at SummerSlam. Well, myself included, have believed for a while that it's a foregone conclusion. He does. It's the biggest event of the summer. Blah blah blah. They're trying to make it WrestleMania the summer.

People are going to be angry. But let the Rock return, Let Roman come back at you. That's a great I like this. I really do know. Is it going to change my predictions, We'll see, But this is a really good one. Guys, think about that. Just let me repeat what Dino said here, because it's very possible. I mean, the only the only kind of flying the ointment, as they say, is that Cody dropping the belt this early?

Are they really willing to anger the fan? The very ones that they appeased to at WrestleMania forty I think really willing to do that. That's a bold, ballsy move. But the Rock returning to help cost Cody the match, and then Roman being the counter to the Rock ooh, I mean I love that.

crazy and wild that could have been. I should add, however, that personally, I think that it'll be Sammy who fills in one of the two spots on Roman's team for wargames, and that makes the most sense with me having him having been part of the original blood line. Enjoy Summer Slam and let me hear you say yeat Yeah, I mean, I think Sammy is on his way back to the Og blood line. I mean, that's why Jay has been essentially doing Jack. That's why many people are believing Sammy

could drop the belt at SummerSlam. Everybody's positioning, all the chess pieces are being positioned for this Civil War part two with the Og bloodline versus the you know, the Savage bloodline. I don't know how they're being branded, but everything is being lined up for that. Jimmy has been mia. Jay has done nothing of substance. He can easily be removed from Raw. He's not involved in anything deep. He's flirting with, you know, rear Ripley. That's the biggest thing

he's got going on right now. It's trying to chase rear Ripley. So he certainly could just be removed and be put over on SmackDown temporarily or you know, that's the one thing. How are they going to manage How is post Vince McMahon going to manage this story that inevitably will happen with Jay and with Sammy both on Raw, Roman's on SmackDown. I think Jimmy is too. Did they just bring him over? Do they do an official trade or do they pull the Vince McMahon and just go

a who cares. They don't care. If fans don't care, as long as they're here, we're not going to give them an explanation. We'll see, all right. Do you know you always make me think? Man? All right, let's go to another patron. I think, Yeah, dude, Joel Joel g He says, Hey, Matt and WW podcast family, longtime listener, two time caller, and first time emailer. All right, well we are keeping track at home. So those of you that need to know, Joel is a longtime listener, two

time caller, and first time emailer. So I hope you put that on your resume, Joel, every time you're applying for a job. I hope that that's something you you know, let your employer know. Only signed up for the draw tier and I'm super happy with my decision. Well, very cool. This weekend, I'll be celebrating my fortieth birthday. Oh man, you're older than me by six months, so happy birthday. And yeah, I know forty is a pretty big one, right,

I don't know. I mean, as men, I feel like our brains just freeze at twenty four, but our body continues to age. Maybe It's maybe I'm just the only deformed one. I don't know. Anyway, you're attending your first ple not many opportunities in Canada and and few outside house shows on a Monday Net Raw in two thousand, I haven't been to many live shows. I've been a fan my entire life and have forgotten more about wrestling

than most people. Remember, I'm really excited about the entire card and I'm really hoping for the return of the true tribal chief. If you're looking for an in person review, I'd be happy to lend you my services. It could work since I have a young family, a big boy job too, and live in Eastern Standard Time. Oh, you're lying up all the pieces I see. Well, here's the thing. You are in the raw tier, so you are eligible for that, so reach out to me on Patreon. All right,

we'll set up something because you are. You actually are owed that on the raw tier, so that'd be kind of cool. PS. We could be twins with our views on things. Glad to have a partner in You only hate me because I'm right. Club. Keep telling the truth, not some lame beta version of your opinion substitute by the word truth. Yeah, Joel, Well, I appreciate that, and

now there's more to come on that. And for those of you that are wondering what the hell I'm talking about, you know, there are there are things that I'm going to venture outside of wrestling and probably talk about. And this may take the form of a separate podcast all together, it may take form of something behind a paywall on Patreon or something else. I don't know, but I have to say, guys, and I mean this in the best way. Well, I love wrestling. I absolutely, I mean I love it.

I wouldn't dedicate the last ten years of my life to doing a podcast if I didn't long nights, nights I actually and guys, embarrassing I have. I've fallen asleep on the show. I've fallen asleep with co hosts because it's been so damn late. I've been up two am talking to co hosts postpls before you know, like, there have been times like it's been bad and I've fallen as I've fallen asleep on my keyboard. I've you know,

I've I've barely made it to the microphone. There are some nights I don't have any interest in doing this because I'm so tired. But I love it and you guys love it too. Otherwise you wouldn't be here listening, and we all appreciate that. But I will say there's other things and other topics that I'm chomping at the bit that I'm equally as passionate about, if not right now. More not that it's stopped my love for wrestling. I will always love wrestling, and this show will always exist.

But there's other things that within the confines of this show I can't talk about because we don't know. We done. We try to keep the best we can to wrestling. We really do. We keep the best we can to wrestling. It doesn't always happen. But you don't turn into a tune into a wrestling podcast to hear about other stuff. It doesn't makes sense. So anyway, Yeah, no, Joel, good stuff, man,

Give me a shout on the in the Twitter. I'm sorry, Twitter, Patreon, hit me up on Patreon, and we'll figure out something, all right. We will definitely convene. I will say, if you're looking for a time, Sunday night might be the best, you know, like nine thirty or so at night Eastern Standard time, because I'll be back by then in my home studio here and we'll be able to chat so on the topic. Though, guys, I want to just mention one thing about Logan Paul. If you guys haven't seen,

he's getting a ton of heat. Ton of heat for a tweet that he put out on X or a post. Do you still call it a tweet if it's not Twitter. I don't know semantics. And it's about the And I'm talking about this because Logan Paul is a WW superstar, like he's a wrestler. He's our current standing US champion. And I'm mentioning this because he is that. And that's why. Okay, so those oh, don't dive into this stuff. Well, he's WWE,

so I'm gonna talk about it. He is getting a ton of heat from some portion of a segment of the mob that don't like his comments about how basically men and women should not compete in sports because of those of you that saw in the Olympics there was a biological man, which, by the way, there's only a man by definition is biological. Okay, I don't care what's

going on in your head. The reality that we all live in is either you're a man or you're like, I love when they say biological man or biological woman. It's kind of redundant to me. It's like, well, yeah, there's no other kind. But I pissed off some people. I'm sure already saying that. Anyway, Logan Paul essentially said that, and then he got a ton of backlash. He actually deleted the post. It was eleven million views on that post before he deleted it, and I'm sure more now.

But everything lives on in the Internet and people are losing their minds over it for a statement that imagine. I mean, how up until about twelve seconds ago, saying that men and women should not compete in sports together would be the most uncontroversial thing you could ever say, right, It was only up until recently that it's it's offensive to say. But I'll pause there, and maybe that'll be something I talk about on another show, another podcast, another

another outlet. I'll just leave it there because it is ww relevant because he's getting a ton of heat and attention, and people are calling for WWE to fire him, calling for well TKO to fire him, you know, have him drop his championship. All this stuff. Not everybody, but those of the you know those anti anti reality people. Anyway, thank you Joel again, get in touch with me on Patreon. All right, boy boy, okay, I'm only gonna do a couple more here. Let's talk about Oh boy, this could

uh well, let's see. Let's see what happens. Guys. By the way, please if you are a patron, put it in the subject that you're a patron, because I don't know if you don't do it. All right, let's actually let's talk to Drew Drew Hill. He says, Hey, Matt ww podcast, lifelong fan, benefit of the podcast and Patreon for a minute. Well, thank you, just gonna cut to

the chase. I'm gay and was really taken back by the comments in the latest mailbag regarding l ideologies as being cancer Like I really want to give the benefit of the doubt here, but that was a crazy thing to hear in a podcast that I really enjoy talking about a sport or a product I really love. I'm assuming you meant regarding trans issues in the ring, which obviously is a very complicated issue, but it has definitely came off as just you didn't want any gay stuff or

people involved. Oh, this is going to be a fun response, can you feel it building with wrestling at all. I'm not asking you to clear it up on the podcast because I don't want to set you off on another rent, even though I just want to have a discussion over email or something that would love to I really don't want to stop listening to the podcast because I do love it. But yeah, that was really off putting to here in the morning. Still love the pod for the

worst part, especially when you're talking about wrestling. You have a good well Drew, all right, Drew, listen. Yeah, this is exactly why I need another outlet to talk about issues that have nothing to do with wrestling, in another outlet under the correct category, for a podcast that people want to hear that talked about. But since you're asking, here's this is really not complicated. This is the simplest thing in the world for me and for a lot

of people. Men. This is this goes across the board for all sports, whether it's wrestling, pro wrestling, whether it's MLB, NFL, whatever, Here's how it is, and this is how it's been since the dawn of time. Men compete with men, women compete with women. End of story. That's it. That's all I'm asking for for things to just stay the same. I don't see a system that's broken. And here's what's

gonna happen. And I know your your belief is probably I'm guessing, although I may not be wrong or right, but I'm going under the assumption that you're you're guessing or your belief One of your beliefs would be that trans men biological women would be and should be allowed to compete in the gender that they identify with. Right, I'm going to guess that's the case. And if that's the case, well then you are going to end up

in a scenario. We are going to end up in a scenario where women who are really biological men that are identifying as women are going to be put in a position where someone's going to die. And I don't mean that hyperbolically. I don't mean that to try to

try to be dramatic. Until a woman or a man who identifies as a woman or vice versa, specifically a woman who's identifying as a man, it gets involved in a man's sport or a man goes into a woman's sport identifying as a woman, until someone dies, and I think it's going to happen. I think that this chaos will continue to play out until it's a logical conclusion because science, because men are inherently stronger, faster by a

large margin than women. This is why we categorize sports into men and women, which has been gone on forever, forever, and suddenly we all or not we all? Suddenly some of these sports are saying, well, way, if someone identifies, well, okay, fine, why don't we put some of the women in the NFL this year, put a trans man in the you know, as a linebacker. They see if they don't get killed or critically injured within ten seconds of the whistle blowing,

that's my problem. I don't want to see anyone get hurt. But if ideology and if identity, if someone's own personal issues going onto their head is something that everyone else in this world has to then abide by or will hurt their feelings, well, then someone's going to die in contact sports. I mean, it just is. That's reality. That's it.

That's what I'm asking for, is just a fair competitive playing field where you're not risking women getting killed in their own sport or for that matter, getting their opportunities taken from them. And that's happening a lot. So I just it's all I want is just why are we trying to blow up things? Why are we trying to blow up the system? Is all I'm asking because the second you inject that, especially into pro wrestling, I mean, the sport's dead. The sport's gonna die. It won't happen.

I really, I don't think it'll happen to the degree of actually killing the sport. But like imagine because and it's not complicated. I know, it's you know, it's saying it's a complicated issue. It's not. It's not complicated. I just laid it up. Men with men, women with women. That's it. That's all. That's all there is. That's all. And hey, if I understand if you don't want to keep listening to the pod, hey, it's it's totally your call, dude,

I you know, totally understand if you don't. I you know, I'm not sitting here begging anyone to listen to me. I never do, never will. But I also will never bend to anyone because they are uncomfortable with what I'm saying and what I'm saying, you were, Drue, I'm saying anybody I'm talking really wrestling, especially that they want me to always stop criticizing the product or like you know,

well well you're always negative. Well here's the thing. Either you can debate my issue I have with the product, or you can complain about my complaining. And some people miss the hypocrisy and that that's just always a fun one. So, I mean, that's the one thing I will always be is one hundred percent real on this show. I have no affiliations with Brett. They're not sending me any money to sing their praises and I called them out when

I see it. That's it. So hey, Drew, listen if I'd like you to stay with us, but if you don't, I get it. I get it. I understand. But all right, cool, all right boy? This is getting fun, isn't it? Guys getting fun? This is show. This is all I'm telling you. I need another I need something else. I need something else. It is it can't you can't continue on ww podcast. I'm bursting at the seams with some stuff. Well, let's actually go to I mean, somebody else messaged me here.

This is Jason. He says, I appreciate the time you took to read my letter, a great explanation of your stance, which even managed to get you sidetracked on a rant about the you know, women or men in wrestling. So to continue this debate, Oh boy, you basically said you had that the women who sexualized themselves shouldn't complain that they get unwanted negative attention, But shouldn't we expect better from society. It's not okay that the male dominated audience

give negative attention. That's why Chelsea Green posts the way posts that we the audience need to keep our quote d in our pants. Well, I'm a simple man, and I love what some of my favorite females dress like. Hold on, let me read that. While I'm a simple man and I love that some of my favorite females dressed like escorts. I'll give them the social media traffic and say great body and thank you, but I won't cross the line with harassment. We the male audience need

to have self control. We're no better than those men in Saudi Rabia. Okay, Well, I would never and I don't mean this as satire or trying to be funny. I would not advocate for anybody harassing any of the talent actual harassment. Okay, that doesn't mean saying something to the talent that they don't like. There's a difference between voicing your opinion and harassment. Like harassment is continued, a continued barrage of just negative comments trying to you know,

on multiple channels. It's just constant and unwanted, right, But the occasional passing comment some people try to categorize as harassment when it's just simply they don't like what someone said. Now again, with that said, I would never and I really don't advocate anybody to harass any of the talent. There's no need for that. But shouldn't we expect better from society? Well? We yeah, except have you seen what society values today and what has kind of devolved into?

I mean, why do you think And this is sure things have gotten worse in some respects since the nineties, But when the women were ultra sexualized in the nineties, they were very popular, but really for one reason, because of how they looked. That's it. The wrestling came second, or not even in It wasn't even a factor for some of the stars like Sable. Does anybody know a match Sable was involved in at all? No, Sable became a star because she was a pretty blonde. She posed

in Playboy that was very successful. That's it, Sonny, same thing, Terry Runnels, same thing, although I don't think she did Playboy. I could be wrong among others. So like, yeah, you can expect better, but you're not going to get better. And also, you're never going to supersede men's biology. Never. I'm not saying the biology to harass, that's not a biological precondition. But men being visual creatures much more so than women when it comes to attraction, it's never going

to change. That's how we are hardwired. That's it. So like now that that should not and again I will continue to say should not manifest itself in harassment. Yeah, like it shouldn't. But women cannot expect to be dressed like they do on social media, put it out there voluntarily. These aren't people digging out old iCloud accounts and hacking

phones and posting unwanted pictures. These are all pictures being put on social media by these women who are public figures to begin with, done voluntarily when it's you know, they're they're wearing next to nothing, and then men comment on it and they're shocked and appalled by the reaction, as if they suddenly don't understand how men are wired. Again, doesn't excuse harassment. Okay, that does That's that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, though, you can't expect men to

just go oh okay, yeah, cool and move on. Most men have an opinion, if it's not vocalized, it is now internalized as to how you're being perceived. Because now men look at you and you are telling us how you want to be perceived, so we perceive you in a more sexual light. But then when we do that, well, well you're being a chauvinist. Well you're wearing nothing, so you do one thing and then get mad at the reaction that is that that men will naturally react to,

and then suddenly we're the problem. Now again, we have our problems. Meant men, yeah, certainly go off the rails, say in appropriate things. I mean, just grows things online that just you know, it's kind of like grow up kind of stuff. Absolutely, I'm not advocating for any of that stuff, but for men that want to advocate for women in wrestling, I'm talking trying to focus on wrestling.

The best I can that. Want to see women's wrestling progress. Hey, I think it's done without that stuff, done better without that stuff. In fact, it was women's wrestling has progressed in spite of that stuff. How did women go? How did women succeed in the women's Revolution? Was it done with bikini contests? Was it done with pillow fights? Was

it done with playboy spreads? No, it was done with in ring competition, re educating the audience that women can have badass matches, to creating storylines that you could relate to, characters that aren't sexualized. Women stop being objectified, and poof, like magic, the women become women, have their own world rumble, they have their own money in the bank, they have headlined WrestleMania, they had their own Women's Evolution pay per view that I feel like they should do it again,

But I don't want to have it. I mean, like so, I just I'm actually for women continuing to move up and wrestling now again. I don't want them to wear potato sacks. I'm fine with athletic where you have to wear something comfortable, safe and also something that's flashy. It's a tough combination. I understand that, but when you wear something like Rea Ripley war on Raw, which is essentially a nightgown. I mean that's you are doing that for

one reason. That's attention, that's it, and to show off her. I'm sorry, no, I'm not. My opinion her horrible tattoos. I think they're horrible. There's too many, there's some dark implications there, and you know why I can comment on them on because she's a public figure that puts herself voluntarily out there. I think they're horrible. Is she has a character great? Yes? Is she very good in the ring, yes? Is she one of the biggest women stars in wrestling? Yes?

Is she intriguing to watch? Is she still a big star? Absolutely? But that doesn't mean I can't. I have to just praise every aspect of her from all angles. So when I see something on her that's horrible and that she wants us to see, but then I'm supposed to ignore it. Yeah, that's not That's not how my brain operates. Sorry. You know, you are a public figure because you want to be. No one's forcing you into this profession, and then you're

wearing things that you voluntarily agree to wear. In fact, probably came up with yourself, and then you're doing it for attention, to show off your tattoos, to show off your body, which is there's no other reason to do it. There's no like, tell me another reason to do it, there's none. Those are the only options. And then when I comment on it in a way that is not very complimentary, I'm the bad guy. You know. It's it's very backwards. So and I'm sure some of you heard

he wants the Handmaid's Tale to be real. Yeah, sure, like whatever, that's not even close. I want women to move forward, and they've done that without this crap, and then now it seems like some of them are going back to it on social media and now on camera, and I wonder what's going to happen when you have the handcuffs off, so to speak, and there's really no uh, there's no PG rating anymore. And they are on Netflix in January. Look out. I mean, I don't want any

of that stuff. If you guys want content that has a lot of women with no clothes on it, no clothes on them, little to no clothes, well, rumor has it, I haven't really checked this out, so I could be wrong, but rumor has it that there's like some of that stuff on the internet floating around. You might have to dig really deep to find it. But apparently there's like pictures, a couple pictures of women online that you can google. I don't know. I don't take my word for it.

Just I guess go look for yourself. You know what I mean? Though, That's not what I come to wrestling for. That's not and I love women's wrestling and I want them to continue. And when I see things that'll pull them back, I call that out. All right boy, All right, well Jason, Now what's your fine point here? We got to move on. Here's an analogy for you. Say, when you get on a rant, your voice becomes so sexy that women start giving you unwanted, unsolicited sex sexual advances.

Should you change change your voice or never get on a rant again? Or should they control themselves? Okay, well, so your analogy of me. So when I get on that rant, so the rant I just had, right, you're saying that if that triggered women to start giving you unwanted or unsolicited sexual advances, So you know it's the same that that's not true. I'd be uh, I'd be yelling a lot more in front of my wife. You know, maybe maybe that's the trick. Maybe that's uh, maybe that's

the problem. That should just start ranting more. That's what it is, Jason. You gave me an idea, boy, genius. But seriously, Okay, I think there are things that people do all the time that other people are attracted to. But you you have to internalize it. This is what I'm saying. You. You can be attracted to someone from something that they've done. I've never said that people shouldn't control themselves from a physical standpoint or acting like animals.

I've never advocated for that. I mean, by the way, it's also against the law. So like if someone had unwanted unsolicited sexual activities, like I mean I just you know, and I didn't want them, and it continued. I mean, that's what the police are for. I was like, hey, yeah, this woman won't leave me alone, press charges. I mean, there are laws in this country against that. So there's that. But here's here's also the one big difference. And then I promise I'm gonna move on. Guys, should I change

you meaning I know what you're getting at. Oh, so, well, if you do this and someone's attracted to it. While should shouldn't you? You changed you you're saying you should change. Well, no, here's the difference. I'm doing something normal that is not meant to draw that attention. The women that I talked about that are posting on social media now bringing it on on air, especially Ree Ripley, who's been kind of the focal point of my argument for this whole thing.

That is done with the express intent of drawing that attention. So when you expressly ask for that attention, get it, and then say you don't want it, that's different than doing something normal like talking or ranting whatever you want to say, and then someone you know, making an advance on you for doing something that's normal that is not expressly does doesn't have the express intent of drawing that attention. That's the difference. All right, boy, this is getting wild tonight.

This is getting wild. Some of you probably tuned out. Oh man, I told you this is why I gotta I gotta do something else. I gotta do something else. Guys, it's getting too much, too much. Okay, I'm gonna I'm just gonna get to the Summer Slam mail bag or the Summer Slam Predictions here because I am limited on time. Uh, I just I can't tonight. Yeah, there's there's just too much, too much, too many emails. I apologize. We've gone on a little bit long. So let's get to him. Let's

get to him right now. So we're gonna talk about let's talk about see I'm Punk and Drew mcatire, let me talk about him right then, right now. I think here are my official predictions. I think Drew Mcatyre wins. He needs a victory in the worst way. He has been so good for so long with his heel character, and all of a sudden, he just you know, he just can't win that big one. He got screwed by Punk how many times since since WrestleMania. A lot of it was brought on by Drew himself. But it's time

for Drew to get a victory here. And sure Seth could be turning heel here. He could. In fact, I wouldn't put it past Seth Rawlins to be actually turning heel. But it's also very possible that that actually Seth Rollins is not involved in the final count, meaning Seth maybe stomps someone and then Drew hits a Claymore or Punk hits a gts on Seth, Seth's knocked out, and then another referee has to come in to replace Seth rawlins and they're the ones that actually make the final count.

And then at the end of the match there's a brawl or you know, maybe Seth hits a stomp on Punk. It's gonna be chaos. I mean, I don't even I don't even want to trot pretend I know the details about. Oh, well, Seth will do this and then Drew will do that. All these men are gonna hit finishes on one another. Probably by the end of the match, everyone's gonna get

hit with at least one or two finishes. So ultimately, though, I think Drew wins, and it's from what I understand, this is a one and done for these two, though I've heard that's a one and done. If that's the case, then they might move right Intoe and Seth and Punk. They might. This is interesting, This is an interesting one, but I think McIntire comes out on top ni Jackson Bailey. This has got to be Nia Jacks's moment, and I like the the emailer who said it could be Naomi.

Was it no? No? Email? I mean, DJ DJ, was you right, You're the one that proposed that Naya is going to win because Naomi turns hell. I love that. I love Naomi actually being relevant for doing something beyond feel the glow. Look at my glow glow the glow glow glow. There's been no real push for her since her return at the Rumble, so this would be a nice change for her. Am I predicting it? No? But I think by Hooker correct Nia Jacks wins, and she should.

She's deserving of it, all right, Rhiann Live Live. I think Live retains. As I've said all along, I think that Live is getting really settling into herself here, settling into her character very nicely. I think Dom is directly responsible for this. She he turns completely on Rha Ripley helps Live. This isn't a maybe he accidentally, you know, didn't mean to screwed up. No, no, no, no. Dom

deliberately costs Rihea with no questions. Live retains. They make out as Rhea is standing, you know, at their feet. That's what I'm envisioning versus Paul. It's it's time for l A Night. Yeah, it is, because l A. Knight has not held a Singles Championship in w WE. It's a crime. That crime needs to be rectified, that sin needs to be absolved. And I think it's time for l A. Knight to finally claim that championship. And what I think is going to be a hell of a

match Broun Breaker versus Sammy. I'm leaning Broun, but I could also see Sammy retaining here. I mean, he did beat the longest ragning icy champ of all time. You know, Broun, though, is on a roll. He already lost to Sammy, so he can't continue to lose a guy that you know is it's kind of a side focal point of raw. You gotta give him a championship, but is he ready for it? Is Broun Breaker really ready for it? Or does it feel too soon? Still there's that argument. It's tough.

This is when I would kind of stay away from money Wise, I think bron probably wins, so I'll go with him, but only slightly A slight favorite that bron Breaker wins here, and mainly not only because he does kind of need a victory, but really, more importantly, as you guys have been talking about earlier, they're positioning him the chess pieces are being positioned for a Roman reigns

return where Sammy is part of it. Now, you could also argue that Sammy's not gonna be brought in right away, so he could have another month or two with that belt, and that's true. This is also why I think Sammy has a strong but non overwhelming chance to retain. This is a really tough one, Rhodes versus Solo Socoa. I think Rhoades retains. They're going to want to continue with that. I think does Roman return, boy, probably, But I wouldn't not guarantee it. I'd say it's like an eighty percent

chance knowing w W yes. But what I hold off Actually I would, but there's a lot of people going there that are expecting Roman to return, and if they don't bring Roman out, they're gonna be angry. There's gonna be a lot of people really pissed off if Roman does not come back here. But if I was WWE, I would fold. I would forge ahead with my plan, and my plan would not be to have him return here. I would really wouldn't. But they'll probably do it. Do

I think they will? Yes? And I think Rhodes returns, does Jimmy in tow Is Paul Hayman going to be there? Likely? Likely? But the thing is, there are so many people expecting it that Paul Avec has to be thinking about. Guys, this is such an overwhelming anticipated return. Do we wait or do we pull the trigger? Do we want that element of surprise or do we not? I think it would have been if they're actually going to bring Roman back in SummerSlam all along, and that was their plan.

I don't know why Solo keeps bringing him up. The surprise element has been totally, just completely shattered because of that. Solo brought Roman's name involuntarily on a weekly basis. It's like, dude, shut up. We all were anticipating this. Now that you're bringing it up, it's kind of ruining it. So if that was a plan, I'm gonna you know, that's just I think my personal preference. It's not my favorite way

to bring someone back. So we'll see. But I think Roman does return, even though I wouldn't do it all right, Priests versus Gunther This is also tough. This is another one. This is like a bron and Sammy match, And I just don't know on this one because every time we think Priests is gonna lose. He's a transitional champion, blah blah blah. He retains. Now this is gun Through. He's a different animal, right, different animal, a guy that is destined for world title gold. It's a big platform, a

big stage. Do you want to pull the trigger? Tempting? Tempting, But Priest has been doing a very good job, not just serviceable, but very good and improving. It's tough. It's a tough one. I think Judgment Day gets involved here. Do what I think I would say. This is tough. I'm hesitant to say gun Ther, even though that's what I want to say, because Triple H has been very hesitant to do title changes unless there's a real reason for it. He's he's very much a guy of long

title runs. And I've already propositioned what how many title changes? One? Oh wait a minute, I have proposition one two. So Naya wins Night Winds, So there's two title changes. I'm saying, bron breaker. Yeah, that's a lot of title changes. So I'm probably gonna say Priest retains. Incredibly Priest retains, But I fifty to fifty on this damn thing. The thing

is the Judgment Day. Being involved in this one poses a problem because they have had issues the Judgment Day and Priests have had their issues well documented, and Priest is a babyface in what it is otherwise a heel group other than Ria Ripley and Carl, who's just a comedic relief in the group. But you have Finn and JD that are heels. Dom obviously heel, and so you know, you have those guys that are eventually going to screw them over saying, oh, you never needed us, you told

us you never needed us. You know what I'm going, Gunther, I'm switching. I'm going gun there because the more interesting, I think, the more interesting solution here is Priest then feuding with you know, his team that screwed him over, maybe unintentionally, you know, at least on the surface, that's what they're saying. They cost them the belt. Gunther gets annoyed at his champion. So I'm going gun there. Let's do that. It's gonna be a big title change night,

and Gunther wins the World Championship. But I'm still fifty to fifty. It's literally a coin toss for me. It's a coin toss. I'm gonna go gun th though for those aforementioned reasons. Priest has shown he's a respectable world champion. He's established himself now, and you can continue the program with the judgment day and Priest falling apart and them they'll feud with one another. So that's what I think.

A lot of matches on this card, so that's why I think they're gonna try to split it into two nights. Triple H typically has been doing what five matches on a card. This has won two, three, four, five, six, seven matches, which is a lot for a Triple hpl E. So I still think it'll be a great event. Do I think the Rocks coming back? Probably not, But we're now getting into the season since Mania, it's been four months. We can start to now talk about it at least.

I still I think probably not, but I'd give it like a ten chance he shows up and maybe helps Solo. As an email or earlier said, And do I think Roman returns. I think there's a much higher likelihood. I'd given seventy five eighty percent that he returns. Do I think Charlotte Flair, there's a name I haven't said yet, returns. I think there's a very high probability. I think ninety percent chance she returns. Where does she return? Maybe she again.

She could be the reason that Bailey loses to Naya Jacks. So I think Charlotte returns, or she could be the reason after the match that she confronts Naya. How about that? How about Naya you know, has her championship moment, Charlotte returns, stares her down. If Charlotte does not appear at SummerSlam, I'm steadfast on her returning at the SmackDown after SummerSlam. So yeah, any other returns I'm not really seeing at the forefront here. I'm not really feeling it. It's kind

of where I'm at. So all right, well, very charged up podcast here, Very charged up podcast episode. I didn't expect it. I didn't preread the emails, so I probably should start doing that moving forward. But yeah, so I hope you guys enjoyed it. I know that, you know, some of you guys hate when I talk about that stuff. But that's why I said, you know, for all this stuff you're hearing that is not really wrestling related, that kind of thing is going to be put somewhere else.

It's going to be directed at another probably a totally new podcast. That's kind of what I'm leaning towards now. I do have one more mail bag again, this is from Milan. He is a patron, so I do want to get to him. So Milan, let me read it because you are a patron. So you're saying that. I know a lot of people are thinking Roman's coming back at SummerSlam, but I'm thinking he's either going to return

to smack Down before or after. It makes sense he comes back during a promo where microphones are involved and he can control confront Solo just like The Rock does. When he comes back. There's not going to be a promo at SummerSlam and Romans not coming in to save anyone. I think the spotlight after the Cody match Cody solo match will be in Cody. In the Cody match with Solo, the ref typically gets knocked out. The Bloodline terrorized Cody

and looked like they're gonna cheat to win. But then Randy Orton comes out, fights off the Bloodline just as the two celebrate together and it's just about to go off the air and Randy RKO's Cody. Ah, that's not so bad as far as Roman goes, my prediction is that he comes out on SmackDown this week with Paul Hayman tells Solo he disapproves of his actions and that he will fall in line if he beats Cody, which obviously doesn't happen. He may be at SummerSlam, but just

seen in the press box showing anger or disapproval. And next week's SmackDown, Roman asks for the travel Chiefs necklace just as Solo looks like he's going to give it to him. The Tongos and Solo attack Roman, but Jacob Fatu holds back, which starts a new storyline about Fatu being torn and on who to align with. Eventually, Fatu will leave Solo and join Roman, but not right away. Well, yeah, I'm a lot of this is all see See this is also a fun storyline you built in my brain.

That's a good problem to have if you're w W E. Is there always going to be a better way to do this? Yes? Always, but you got to pick the best way you know how at that moment and go with it. There's really no bad way. See how many awesome ways there are to bring this whole storyline together. This is one they again famous last words, but they can't screw it up, can they? I have faith in I have faith in Paulovec. I do.

everyone Punk and Rollins, Bailey beats Naya to retain Tiffany. Yeah, Tiffany cash is in attempts to cash in Tiffany Stratton to become the new champion. After the match, Brock Lesner returns to confront Gunther ooh, I didn't even think of Brock, thank you. Cody beats Solo to retain the championship, and during the match, Jimmy and Jay somehow come out to help Cody while Tomatanga beats Cody, and this leads to Roman and Paul Hammon's return and sets up a war

game match at Survivors Series. Thanks Charlie, I appreciate that. Yeah, brock Lesner, I think is not likely, but possible. I like it. I like it a lot. So very cool, very very cool. Guys, Thank you so much for joining us. I know that there's a couple of voicemails out there

I didn't get to. I just it's time, time, time time, And if I do have another podcast that I'll developing, and I am developing something here that in the meantime, I will let you guys know what it is and the name of it where you can find it, and it will not be about wrestling, because I feel like

I'm being pulled somewhere else right now. Wrestling is still my first love, my passion, but you know, doesn't mean you can't have more than one, and I feel like I'm being kind of pulled away from wrestling into another venture at this point. And again, this just show is not going anywhere, but yeah, that's kind of how I'm feeling right now with other things going on, So anyway, that'll do it for me tonight, guys, thank you so much for listening. As always, you can go on Patreon,

you can go ahead free. We're going to be here throughout the entire Summer Slam weekend. We've still got the whole what is It Oh after Dark for those who have the Smackdowns here and above, you get the after Dark show that's coming very very soon. You've also got the SmackDown review with Amanda from the UK, and you've got my SummerSlam review which will be Sunday night. So Sunday night when I come back, I'll do the Summer

Slam review again. If something wild happens, and that's very possible, I'm bringing my phone and a lapel mic that I'm gonna do some recording on and maybe give you guys a quick recap or an instant reaction from my remote location, my undisclosed location. So all right, thanks everybody for listening, enjoy SummerSlam. Thank you so much for listening, and I'll talk to you next time.
