PAC Tribute, Money in The Bank Predictions, Draft Shake Up : The Gimmick

SPEAKER_1 (0:03)

Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to The Gimmick. The podcast, Wrestling Podcast, GeekVerse, you get two episodes a month when we never know nowadays, but you get two of them a month and you get a GMO, which will be back at some point. I am, as usual, the Canadian Nightmare, and I'm joined by the Black Arrow forever. David, how's it going?

David (0:23)

It's going good. Sorry, everybody, like us punting last week was all on me. I was having a lot of family stuff and travel issues and just a combination of things that got crazy. But I'm so grateful that we were able to punt to this week and still make things happen. And with the punt to this week, some very important stuff we get to talk about now that we would have missed out on.

SPEAKER_1 (0:44)

Yeah, exactly. It's not like a good thing to punt because obviously like with the not saying, oh, it's going to get tough up, but in this way we would have wanted to have some conversations about that, which we'll get into in a second. But yeah, any one star reviews for missing a week can be directed at David. Open, but you can message him. But and then we're joined by Death Riders for life as pubs. How's it going? You're right. You're already, when we started this podcast, you're already a big Moxley defender. Now, you know, he's a Death Riders aren't going anywhere. They're going to be around. They're going to be around till this point. They're going to be past this podcast, you know?

Yeah.

But yeah, so today we got a good show. We got some, lots of things to talk about. What we're going to do is in order. It's our, we talked about this the last few weeks. We're going to do our gimmick draft shakeup. So we have people and wrestlers drafted like a NFL or any type of sports draft. And we do shakeups every kind of quarterly, drop some people, add some people, et cetera. We time them for big events. Cause obviously new signings, call ups, injuries, people just not showing up. Lots of things can change with rosters. And we usually time it for Money in the Bank, which is next week. Next week, there will not be an episode. We haven't talked about this yet, but next week is Canadian Thanksgiving. So I would not be around at all. So what we, I was saying, what we might do is two weeks from now, we are going to be doing, if it all works out on hopefully the Friday, our Street Fighter review. So maybe we'll kind of do a double header where we'll review Street Fighter, but then any other, we'll talk about Money in the Bank, any other big wrestling news and predictions we'll cover. Cause I think we probably like predict some Wrestle Dream stuff. So I think that's what we're going to do is in two weeks from now, you're going to get a hybrid where we're going to talk about Street Fighter. Cause you know, got some wrestlers in there and then we're going to talk whatever wrestling news is around and then a GMO will figure out. But I just know what the Canadian Thanksgiving I'll be running around. But so we got that and then we're going to go Money in the Bank predictions, WWE talk, and then we're going to talk about AW, not like briefly, but just overall, we're not going to do a full on big all out review. And then we're going to save the best for last. We're going to talk about the great man puck. And then we're also going to do our first ever watch long. We've teased this before and it's probably a good way to start on a match that's considered well liked and good in celebration. Where in the future, we probably will do this where we have a list, and Espos has curated of famously bad wrestling matches that people should on. A couple that I defend, which who knows.

SPEAKER_3 (2:57)

But all of them very long so far.

SPEAKER_1 (3:00)

Yes. I think we kind of have an idea when we might record that in the future and put that somewhere. But yeah, today we're going to watch Orange Cassidy versus Pock from Revolution. So that'll be fun. And yeah, we got that going on. But let's do the draft. We always do the draft shake up first. So then we don't have to tiptoe on any potential discussions like, oh, I think this is the Tiffany Strand incident of the first draft.

Exactly. So Espresso, I guess, before we go, what is the point value? What's the updated roster? What's the updated numbers? And then we'll get the points, sorry, updated points. We'll get the rosters and then we'll go around and do our drops and everything.
