Speaker 1

Hey, this is Brian Alvarez and this is today's edition of the Wrestling Observer Daily podcast on the eight Side Network Vibe from San Francisco. I'm a sports byline broadcasting network. You are listening to Wrestling Observer Vibe with your hosts Brian Alvarez and Mike semperviv Ready Are you ready? Let's get it all. How's it going everybody? Brian Alvarez here on Wrestling Observer Live. We are here every day Monday through Friday, New Pacific, three Stern Sunday three Pacific, sixth Eastern.

It is the Prediction Show today. Yes, I can't believe, and we're actually doing it, and believe it or not, we're doing it earlier than we did it last year. Last year we didn't like January or something. But it is time for the Prediction Show and it is starting as soon as we come back from the break. So listen carefully because the chats are trying to mess everything up. Here's how it works. I have in front of me all of the predictions from last year. I will be

reading those in the final segment of the show. We actually had a lot of people that did pretty well last year. Although there is one that I think sticks out more than the others, but we may have to put that to a vote or something like that at the end. And in the first segment and the second segment, we will be taking your calls your predictions for three. There's two rules. You may not predict anyone's death. That

is not allowed, okay, you will be disqualified. And also try to make your prediction at least somewhat bold, because what we've learned over the years is if you're too wacky, ain't gonna win. Okay, But if you predict something too easy, well, if too many people pick something too easy, you're not gonna win. The boldest prediction will win if there's five

people that are correct. Now, if you presume that every single solitary person is gonna be too bold, you could predict something easy like w W E will be in business in some form by the end of You could try that, but you're probably not going to win because we had, you know, six or seven people that were either right on or close last year. And so if you predicted something too easy, you ain't gonna win. So

it must be bold. Nothing bad. Come on, and uh, and the phone number I'm gonna give you right now. Do not call the text message line the phone number eight four four nine one three seven. That is eight four four seven. The phone line is already full, so you're just gonna keep trying throughout the show. Do your best back in a moment to kick it off. Wrestling Observer Live.

Broadcasting Network. Bag of the show. Bran Elbert is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike simber Viv also Wrestling Observer dot com.

Good afternoon and gentlemen, this is Carlos building from Houston, Texas.

I want to thank

you very much for the call. Apple TV plus the new home of the w W E network after the cock is bought out my Apple TV. That's a bold prediction. I like it.

Wait wait, wait, start over again. First off, this isn't Paul, this is Ryan in Cumberland. What's your prediction? Dude? Joanna James and the

He was trying to to play your heartstrings with Keana James holding Chace. This is not about what I think. This is about facts. He'll either get it right or he won't, and he'll either win or he won't. Which, speaking of, brings us to Tara here, who is a former winner of the prestigious prediction on test. Dara, what

Alright, I want to thank you very much for the call. People are starting to get a little smarter here. They're they're they're they're not going too far out on a

limb anymore. Although it's funny, I was listening last year and it happens every year. Everybody has a prediction that isn't too far out on the limb, and it's still wildly inaccurate by the end of the year. Dagan, you are on the air. What's going on and what is your bold prediction? What's up, guys, it's digging from Vermont. My bold and also dumb prediction for three is the former Mandy Rose. Amanda Rose will debut for Impact Wrestling

and win the Knockouts Championship. Okay, wait a second, so is that part of the prediction she will be Amanda Rose. I guess he's gone. I'm gonna I'm gonna make him stick to that Amanda Rose. Well, well, when the women's title and well, I mean if she goes and wins the title, and we'll consider it. But a Mandy Sacks, Mandy Sacks, Amanda Sacks. Alright, let's go to the phones.

Good will break the record set by the Honky Tonk Command for the longest intercuntinal title championship rain of all time. We actually, I mean, I'm sure he's probably done this, but can he do that this year? How long? Was Honky is right? Is it possible? Is it mathematically possible for that to come true?

I guess we shall find out. I'll do the map on that while you take the next caller already, Let's go to Austin at Texas. You are on the air. Who is this and what is your bold prediction for three? This is Ray from Austin, and my prediction is that Impact Wrestling will announce a new TV deal that will take place in that will get them in over eighty million US households. Wow, Impact will make a new television deal that will that will are you still there? Are

you still there? A caller? I'm still there? Okay? Is this is this one singular network that is available in over eighty million homes? It is one singular network in the rady mon coms. But it will have a streaming component with a simil cow. Okay, Well that's irrelevant, but thank you very much for the call that. Uh, you know, there's not a lot of options with that one right there nowadays. But to duly noted. Oh, by the way, the Honky tonk Man's title reign four hundred and fifty

four days to this date. Gunther two hundred and two. Can do it. It can be done. Eight four four twenty seven. If you want to make a bold prediction for this year, and we we'll go to the phones.

Guys, this is Ryan from Ann Harbor, Michigan, and my bold prediction is that former w w E champion v Gender Mahal will return to the main event picture and he will wrestle for the World Championship in w although he

unfortunately will not win, unfortunately, so he will be hindered. Okay, I got it. Ginder Mahal returns to the main event scene in w w E and fights four of the World Championship. You know what's funny is I I would not rule out the possibility of Cody becoming champion and one of his first challengers being Gender. I do not rule that out, but I I do not think that's going to happen. Alright, let's go to the phones. You're on the air. What is your bold prediction for three?

Who is this? Uh, this is Vincent from Springfield. Uh. My bold prediction is that Hangman, Adam Page and FTR will beat the elite for the trio's title this year. Hangman, Page and f TR is a trio will beat the elite. Alright. I want to thank you very much for the call. I like when the call a ride comes up and it's right like that because it's wrong for some reason whenever Ryan calls, all right, let's go to Sunny Sonny Mail, California. You're on the air. Who is this? What's your bold

prediction for three? Hello, Brian and Mike. This is Matt from yeah, well, southmost California. And my bold prediction is that Will Osprey will beat Kazuchiko Okada to win the g One this year. Will Osprey will beat Okada to win the g One Tournament this year. That is your prediction. That's right, all right. I want to thank you very much for the call. You know, it's last year. That's somebody predicted that Brian Danielson was going to win the g One and we all thought, oh man, that guy's

a shoeing. What an easy winner. Well, let me let me ask you a question here. Well, we'll find out. We'll find out. I mean if everyone else is wrong. He wins. If that happens, I guess yes, I don't know if that was bold enough. Well, we'll find out when we go over last year's predictions. At the end of the show, Tim, you are on the air. What is your bold prediction fore this this Tim in Miami, My bold prediction isree Royal Rumble will be one by stone Cold Steve Austin and he will go on to

defeat Roman Reigned at WrestleMania. Tim is always in character. He ever noticed that Steve Austin is going to win the Royal Rumble next week, go on to WrestleMania and beat the Rock or I'm sorry, Roman Reigns. Doesn't look like it's gonna be the Rock by the way, for the for the title. All right, we're gonna come back with more, and now's your chance to call. All the phone lines are still full. Eight four four three seven

at his eight four four nine one seven. Mike's gonna have to do a prediction after the break, as do I Observer Live. You're listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alvarez and Mike semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Back here for the prediction show eight four. Back to the phones here in a moment, bold prediction, no predictions of death. You must call. Mike's gonna show you what

it's done right now. What's your prediction, Mike, My bold prediction will be Shane McMahon makes an appearance in a e W at some point during this year. Shane McMahon. Shane McMahon's he's in the crowd. He's doing something. It's a background shot, it's something like that. It's not major. It's not like he's gonna be shock disappearing in an ambulance or something like app But Shane McMahon somehow make an appearance. You know, maybe he'll maybe he'll knock out

Tony Nice. Like, we gotta keep this show going, brother, We got a lot of people on the line. You know, I won a couple of years ago. You know I should predict this year. That's what I should have started. I should have done this show two weeks ago and predicted as soon as this Vince come back to cutting guys again. I don't one. But my prediction sure to lose is that at the end of this year, in

the beginning of next year. Despite a tumultuous first twenty days, we're gonna look back at the end this year and you know, you know what turned out all right. This year in fact, turned out pretty good. You're an idiot. That's my bold prediction. You're an idiot. I have no faith that that will happen. Let's go to whilst all my faith in your ability predicted something bold to happen. My god, what happened to you? Marysville, California. You're on

the air. Who is this? What's your bold prediction? Hey, this is Ulysses from Chico, California, and my bold prediction is that by the end of this year, we will see Triple H, Pauliveck, and Stephanie McMahon at the helm of a brand new wrestling promotion. Every year, I want to thank you very much for the call. Every year this happens. Last year we had the guy Triple H will leave and start his own rival promotion. Didn't happen.

But you know what, one of these days, somebody's gonna have to make the same prediction every single year for like twenty years and then finally get it right. They called it. Yeah, that's why I hope happens. Alright, let's go to the phones. You're on the air. Who is this? What is your bold prediction for three? This is a neat from Harrisburg, and my bold prediction is not Vince is back with w w E. He'll get back and creative and then he'll give himself the title by the

end of the year. God, he's gonna be a two time w E champion by the end of this year. Yes, sir man, why not? Should have predicted that Prince end up the champion? Thank you very much for the call. I like our mix of bold predictions and obvious nothing happened in predictions today. Let's go to New York. Who is this? What is your bold prediction for? Mr? Girard

and South Jamaica? And my bold prediction for is that by the end of this year, Tony Khan will announce a TV deal worth more than half a billion dollars. I want to thank you very much for the call. You know, it's amazing about that prediction. That was my prediction last year and I lost. Maybe Queens has got you this year. Well, his timing is probably better, to be honest. More than a half billion dollars more than

five million dollars for television deal. Afraid that's bold, but you know what, that's what I'm looking for a year. Damn right, let's go to the phones. You are on the air. It was this, what is your Bowl prediction for three? This is spom Sees Valley, California, and my Bowl prediction is at least one episode of SmackDown this year will have a higher rating than their debut on Fox. In Wow, I want to thank you very much for

the call. At least one episode of SmackDown this year is going to do a better rating than their debut, which, if I recall off the top of my head, because I am a genius, did three point nine million viewers tell you what? He didn't put an asterix on it, and we didn't tell them to. So there may be an NFL game or something like that, a college sports games, something where this man may end up being the winners

since we didn't tie him down on technicalities. You know, these nerds on my timeline always like, oh, they can't get back to that one point two million at a w debut at one point three million, where all those fans go. You realize SmackDown debut at three point nine million, and and all those fans go, well, it's called a debut, and this happens for every show. You're going, We're gonna go to Bahrain, Moraine, you're on the air. Who is this? What is your bold prediction for Brian and Mike? This

is a j from Bahrain. Yes, and my bold prediction is that Eddie Kingston is gonna be the one to be thrown m JF. And it's gonna happen in Adie's hometown, Queens, New York at a W Grant Slam. But then m JF will win it back, will win back the a W World Championship. Romp Eddie Kingston at full gear in a match with a stipulation, this is it. I want to thank you. That's what the will Osprey guy was missing.

If you're gonna give us something, then you gotta give us a little more behind it to make it bold. I like that. I just was was It was like, I don't think Eddie Kingston is going to beat MJF for the title at Grand Slam, but that prediction is bold enough as it is. And he kept going, hell that at its full gear, he's gonna win it back, and there's gonna be a step. You should have added the stip ball. He was added, Hey, because that's bold. I mean, just saying somebody's gonna beat somebody for a

title a bold. It's pretty bold to think that Eddie Kingson is the one who's gonna dethrow. You let Will Osbrey winning the g one go through. I mean, come on, that's not that bold at all at all. Well, yeah, exactly, I let him go through. We'll see who wins. Let's go to uh Greensburg allegedly you're on the air. Who is this, what's your bold prediction? Hello? My name is Brandon from Pittsburgh, and my bold prediction is that Ria Ripley will either win the US Championship or the Intercontinental

Championship by the end of WOW. So they're going full China with her. She's gonna win a men's title in w W. That's bold. I should have added she'll win it from Jericho. That's bold. All right, let's go to beautiful Garden City or on the air, who is this, what is your bold prediction? This is Don from Garden City. My bold prediction, Dave Meltzer will win the Cluster f at Joey Joannelli's Spring Break seven. You know, you know what's funny about that prediction. I want to thank you

very much for the call. What's funny about that prediction is it is bold. They they they they, I don't want to say they've directly asked him, but I knew. I know that Joey Joannelle has been interested in having him in that match. Dave's not gonna do it. But you know, if you agree a duty, probably win. So maybe what you need to do is get in touch with Dave, offer him one half of your ring if you win. All right, let's go. Let's I've never been asked.

It's going to Port's Mouth. Who cares about me? And there I rustle all the time you're on the air. What's going on? M Hey's Brandon from Portsmouth? And my prediction is by the end of three Roxanne Perez will be SmackDown Women's Champion and she will have beating Charlotte for the title. So Rock Sand's gonna get called up beat Charlotte win the SmackDown Women's title. Alright, excellent prediction,

my friend. A lot of details in now and I like a lot of details, and you know who's gonna have a lot of details and quite frankly, should inevitably be the winner of the contest. Is this man Jesus according to my color. Right, you're on the air, what's your bold prediction for three? So my boy prediction is that we'll get Cody Bows as the Royal Bumble winner. So the bounds to wrestleman. Yes, you'll beat Roman Reigns. You'll have a run with the O C A J mrs.

The Bumble comes back from being injured, and we'll get a one on one match a J stag which is Cody Rhodes for the World heavyweight title. And who wins. Pody goes over because I think A J has to put called the alright, I want to thank you very much for the call. And that's when there was a lot of details. But was it that bold? I guess we'll find out. We'll find out. I thought his prediction would be, I'll return. Let's go to rad Ford. You're

on the air. What's going on? Hey, it's John to Don Rossberger and uh, my bold prediction for the year is that Chaos is gonna reign supreme in the world. Tag League and they're gonna feel the team of Orange, Cassidy and Toru Yanu. I want to thank you very much for doing the gimmick I asked for earlier, which is to keep making the same prediction every year until you win. Thank you, Don the Don from Radford. Let's go to Woolburn. You're on the air. Is this what's

your bold prediction? Going once, going twice? My bold prediction is you'll get through again next year? My friend, how did I push the wrong button? Oh man? I may I may screwed that poor guy. How's my fault? I'm sorry? See you next year, buddy oh Man, call back immediately, call back right now. While I'm taking this one from Woodside, New York. You're on the air. What's your prediction for this? Is Mike from Queens, New York, and I predict that Code Rhodes while under a w W contract will appear

on a W programming. Cody Rhodes while under w W E contract, will appear on a e W programming like in the Ring. Yeah, uh, probably a backstage segment, not like not not some sort of like past segments. They're not gonna show it, but it'll be a new segment for w he'll appear while under a w W contract. Alrighty, I want to thank you very much for the call. Interesting, definitely bold. That is bold. You know what I think I can do here? I try something? Yeah? Was it

Wolburn that I hung up on? No? You just took Who did I hang up on? Somebody the chat? Tell me who I hung up on? I'm gonna call him back back in a moment. Is ever Live? You were listening to Wrestling Observer Live with Brian Alfarez and Mike Semperviv on the Sports Byline Broadcasting Network. Back in the show, brin Eva is here Wrestling Observer Live. Mike Semperviv called that person back during the break, but they hung up on me, So I don't feel so bad now that

was a issue. I apologize, But we gotta take a couple more here. But then I have to go through last year's predictions because we got a chat. There was a lot of hits and near hits. We gotta figure out a winner. So let's do a few more here. Let's go to Hack and Sack. You're on the air. Who is this? What's your bold prediction for? This? Is Anthony? Now? From Jersey City, and my Bowl prediction is Wardlow will defend the TNT championship at all out against Bill Goldberg.

Wow Wardlow will defend the TNT title at all out, meaning has to win it against Bill Goldberg. That's like, that's like one of those bold predictions that you could actually see happening. I don't think it's gonna happen, but we'll see. Let's go to uh Cleveland, you're on the air. Who is this? What's your bold prediction for three? Hi? Matthew from Cleveland, and my bold prediction is, Coda A Boosty will win the a W title by the end of the year. Coda A Boushey to be a e

W champion by the end of What's a funny Mike? No, I didn't say anything was funny. He laughed. I mean that's an indication he found something. I did not laugh. I took a breath. Brian calmed down. Wait, wait, like I wins. I'm gonna make you buy the trophy. What's going to Brentwood? You're on the air. Who is this?

What is your bold prediction for Brian? This is Mike from Buffalo and I'm calling to predict that I do think Shorty Arabia will buy w W E and because of that, Sammy Zane, we will have our first ever trade in wrestling. Say I'm you saying traded to a W for c I'm punk he'll be in w W, He'll be traded. I'm trying to come up with something ball. Brian, this has been like the craziest year it has been. That would be a first if there was a trade between a W and w W. A. I want to

thank you very much for the call a trade. Alright, one more here, last one. You are the main event predictor here on this program. Who is this and what is your bold prediction for three? Al Right? Brian, Mike, this is Brian and round Rock. So I'll make this book. I've got it specific for you because we're all about

specifics on the Prediction show. Right. So, not only are we gonna have the first ever women's main event nami W, We're gonna have the main event be Jamie Hayter first Britt Baker for the a W Women's title, and it will be at all out in the all out main event. That's the all out main event. Jamie Hayter and Britt Acre for the a W Women's title. Wow, what I want to thank you very much for the call. They

could do it. They could do it. They take a lot of build, but you know what, they could absolutely do that. Hey, listen, I want to thank everybody for calling in today. Over over twenty five hundred attempts to get through here today, and we got as many as we could on the air. But now it's time we got to go back through last year's predictions. Who was a prognosticator and who was a fool? And uh and we need to have a little chat here as well,

because we did better than usual last year. So here we go, right, and Cumberland got through first last year. And he predicted that Paul Hayman will marry Caleb Braxton. He was wrong, dig and predicted Coda Abushi and Kenny Omega would face off in a e W. Wrong. And when you think about everything that happened with Coda Boushi last year, who could have ever thought Tara predicted? And

here's another one. Tara predicted Cody Rhodes would break the step and win the a e W title with a pedigree And it was only like a month later he left a W and he went to w w E. And the funny thing is he may win the w w E title with a pedigree this year. Incredible win. Jammer predicted that Jerry mcdivott would retire and his law firm would not defend w w E in the mL W lawsuit and Vince would hire Constantine Cairos instead. Wrong, but it's funny that mL W lawsuits still outstanding over

a year later, still out there. Eddie correctly predicted that an n x T two point oh show would sell over three thousand tickets to an event. And if you watched n x T two point oh last year when it first began, that was a pretty bold prediction. Now, I did ask him, is this like a normal show or is this like they bring in all of the talent from the main roster everything like that? He said had to be a normal show, but it did take place over WrestleMania weekend, So I'll let you guys determined

if that was bold enough. Steve predicted Roman Reigns would hold the Universal title all year. He was correct? Was that bold enough? Nick predicted that this year kg Mudo would finally lose the kto Kio Mia, which in fact did happen kiom have beat him via submission on July. Was that bold enough, Mike, because you doubt it was bold enough when he made it last year? Well, technically one. I don't know if he has any better off for it.

But Brandon predicted that Austin Theory would win money in the bank and would be w E champion by the end of the year. Close to my friend, what's wrong? And keep in mind Vincent already hitched his trade on TV Dawson Theory at the time, So how bold was that? In fact? Otis p stink Trigger predicted the A w video game would come out last year. It still hasn't come out, and its Metacritic scores would at least double

W W E two K and which was wrong. Nathan predicted Alley Catch would beat Jeff Jared in a Good Housekeeping match. Was wrong. Lewis predicted Colt Commander would become the t NT champion. Whoa he or something like that. It's like, wow, look what happened this year? That was wrong? That was wrong? Now this one's kind of a maybe.

Pierce predicted that we would see an a E W W W E crossover on TV and now there was a John Cena congratulations twenty years Raw Delia Bob, and there were a couple of a W guys that had videos like congratulating him and everything like that. Uh So, I mean, like Chris Jericho was on Raw that happened. It was it was a congratulations of John Cina, but like nobody was in the ring or anything like that.

So what do you guys think about that one? We have got Mike Semperviv predicting Chris Dickerson Dickinson will beat John Moxi for the g c W title and would then lose it to Atticus Kogar later in the year. Wrong in so many ways. That was very very wrong, very wrong, very wrong. Producer Dom Producer Don predicted a e W would go on a multi week West Coast tour sell out every venue. Now, they did have a

two West Coast shows June one and third. They both sold out in l A, but it was not a multiweek tour, so I would say close, but did pretty good though pretty good dum Bryan Alvarez predicted a W will get a new TV deal before the year is over. It will more than double the money from its previous deal. Wrong. Can't you give the goddamn thing. Wesley predicted Hangman would make you the entire year as a w champion. Boy

did he not? He did not. Ryan predicted Byron Left which of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would appear on a W TV and punched Dan Howising in the face. What a horrible prediction and wrong. Wrong. Matt predicted two all out, Keith Lee will defeat the Hangman for the A E W title. Wrong, it was very very well. Addie predicted Triple H would leave w W E and start a new promotion or takeover. Wrong. Yeah, not takeover w W E, by the way, it was takeover whatever promotion he went to.

That was very wrong. He actually came back and took over w W for a while, then got ousted again. Inter sessions they ousted, but I guess he's not ousted at the moment. H Nick predicted by the time the year is over, Shaun Waltman will be the A W, T and T champion, accepting an open challenge, winning the belt and would be signed to a W Wrong. Derek predicted Dan Housing would appear on a TV show as a guest T B S or t n T. Wrong. Don the Don Rossberger, I can actually do his voice

this year. Predicted Dan Housen team with Orange, Cassidy and Yano and win the six man Never Open Way titles. That was wrong. Rick the Guardian of Chaos predicted Paul Hayman would be all Elite. Wrong. Matt predicted all three of The New Day would be all Elite and when the tag team titles wrong and man no one could have seen what happened to Big e Ken predicted Teagan Knox will be the next day W Women's champion. Incorrect. Tony predicted Dynamite would beat Rang in the ratings in

total viewership twice. Wrong. Ray predicted one of the owen Hart Cups would be won by one of the members of the Dark Order. Wrong. Coach Walton predicted in the middle of a gym class at his elementary school with kids screaming in the background, that m JF would not step foot in an A E W rampage ring for a match a segment nothing all year long, and he was correct. Dalton predicted Jungle Boy it was gonna be

a triple champion this year. He was wrong. Cookie Predictativity Stratton would be successful at XT debut on the main roster. That was wrong. Andrew predicted someone currently a side from a W would appear in the Royal Rumble that year wrong. Dan predicted n x T would be absorbed to the main roster would not exist by in the year wrong. Alex predicted braun Acre would debut on the main roster

and win a major title. Now he did show up and he beat Dolph Ziggler to win back the n x T title, but I don't know about that one. And no, I'm two years away from owing a thousand dollars mm hm. And then Josh predicted Brian Danielson wins the g one, which is wrong. Now we got a lot to talk about here. These are the ones that I would say are arguable. The a W W W E crossover on TV, and two we did have active

a w wrestlers giving tributes to John Cena. On Raw, we had braun Breaker debuting on the main roster and winning a title, which in fact he kind of did, but it was not like a full debut. He just showed up to get some pub and win that belt back. And dum with the multi week tour. This sells out every venue. These are those are arguable, so I think we kind of have to write those off right arguable ones.

Now the ones there there are four that were exact n XT selling over three thousand tickets to a show which they did do over WrestleMania Weekend. Roman Reigns not losing the title all year long. I don't think that's bold enough. I don't know by the rest of you, kg Mudo finally losing the Kaito Kiomia, and MGF not appearing one single time. We add Punk and Mocksley and tons of big stars. He never appeared one time on Rampage. So I'm gonna throw these these four up and we're

gonna have you guys vote on my Twitter. So go quick back at a moment Observer Live.

I mean, Mike, what what would you say? I would say m JF never being on Rampage. Yeah, I mean I I I don't skew the vote, but that's that's my because you know what it's like, he was never on the show. He didn't

have a match, he didn't do a promo. The guy that predicted it was very specific it was gonna be m JF and he was never gonna make any appearance whatsoever on Rampage over the course of a full year, fifty two episodes, fifty two hours. Think about the guys that you showed up to do a promo for a match that was coming up on on Wednesday or or anything.

He was never there. I think that's actually a great prediction personally, And it seems looking at the chat here that a lot MGF, m JF, m JF plaque, Patman, Brian Man.
