MJF on AEW, WWE Bidding Wars, and Why Buffalo Sucks
The vibes are high on this Friday show, mostly because Big Cat and PFT are dancing on the grave of the Green Bay Packers. After a miserable Thursday Night Football showing against the Titans, the verdict is in: the Aaron Rodgers era in Green Bay is cooked. Rodgers looks less like a back-to-back MVP and more like he's cosplaying as a quarterback who has already checked out for a darkness retreat.
PFT CommenterThe Green Bay Packers are officially dead
The Greeny Packers. Aaron Rodgers looks like he's playing poorly on purpose. That's how bad he's playing tonight... I'm officially saying get out the [shovel]... Their next game is against the Eagles, they're dead. That's a dead team.
While Rodgers struggles, Mike Vrabel continues to prove he is the ultimate football guy, dragging a less talented roster to wins through sheer grit and fistfights. Big Cat is ready to hand over the hardware already.
Big CatMike Vrabel is the NFL Coach of the Year
[Mike Vrabel] is coach of the year. It's something about he just gets 'em ready for a fight and he just makes games miserable for the other team. And they fist fight him for 60 minutes and most of the time they come out with a win.
With the Packers effectively eliminated from relevance, the guys are looking at the rest of the NFC North with a mix of awe and confusion. It turns out we are living in a world where Kirk Cousins is the king of the north, and the Vikings are the only ones left standing.
Big CatThe NFC North is officially Kirk Cousins's division now
This is Kirk Cousins's division now. They [the Vikings] are [winning it]... Siara... see you bitches. And Packers fans know it. They know they're dead. They know there's no chance.
Week 11 Picks and Previews
The board for Week 11 is loaded with potential trap games and revenge narratives. Hank is feeling himself after a Commander's win, and he's doubling down on Taylor Heineke and the boys from Washington as they head to Houston.
HankThe Commanders will beat the Texans by more than 3.5 points
Commanders minus three and a half. Personal. Thank you. Revenge game.
PFT is a little more skeptical of the teams coming off the bye, specifically the New York Jets. He pointed out a glaring trend that suggests taking a week off might actually be the worst thing for Zach Wilson's development.
PFT CommenterThe Jets actually come back worse at their job when they have a bye week
The Jets are 0-6 straight up off the bye since 2015. I think that's like the Jets... when they take a week off work, they actually come back worse at their job. They should bypass the bye.
The most depressing game on the slate is undoubtedly the Raiders vs. Broncos. It’s a battle of broken offenses and coaches who might be one loss away from the unemployment line. Big Cat has found the only way to make this game watchable: betting on the most chaotic outcome possible.
Big CatThe Broncos and Raiders game will end in a tie
I think I'm gonna bet on a tie... You have to bet on a tie. It's been so wrong all year. You have to bet on a tie... Plus 1500.
MJF Joins the Show
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) finally made his way to the big leagues of PMT, and he didn't disappoint. He came into the studio with his trademark arrogance, immediately coming for Billy’s throat and insulting anyone within earshot who might be "poor." He addressed his hiatus from AEW, claiming that his walkout wasn't a work, but a very real demand to be paid what he's worth.
MJFThe people are fake, but wrestling is real and I am the realest person in the sport
People are fake, wrestling's real, and the realest person in professional wrestling's MJF. And that's a fact. There was nothing about that situation [his AEW absence] that was manufactured.
MJF made it clear he views himself as the center of the wrestling universe. He didn't hold back on his peers, either, putting himself in a tier of his own alongside the biggest names in the industry.
MJFRoman Reigns and I are the only two real stars in wrestling
The two biggest stars in professional wrestling right now are me and Roman Reigns. We are the two people that everybody's talking about. Whether you're a professional wrestling fan or whether you're outside of that professional wrestling bubble.
Beyond the character work, MJF spoke candidly about the physical toll of the business. He pushed back against the "fake" labels, noting that every time he steps into the ring, he's risking permanent injury or worse.
MJFProfessional wrestling is one of the most dangerous sports in the world
It's a dangerous sport. Like one of the most dangerous sports like in the world. And it's just, I find it interesting that people don't talk about that aspect. Every time we step through the ropes, we're putting our lives on the line and it's not a joke.
Of course, it wouldn't be an MJF appearance without him trashing a specific demographic. This time, the crosshairs were on Upstate New York and anyone who thinks Buffalo is a top-tier city. Between the pizza and the people, MJF has seen enough.
MJFBuffalo and Upstate New York are a complete dumpster fire
Upstate New York as a whole to me is just a huge dumpster fire. And it offends me actually that people from up there can say they're New Yorkers... you're only a New Yorker if you live in NYC or Long Island.
Fyre Fest and World Cup Chaos
To wrap things up, the guys looked ahead to the World Cup in Qatar. PFT is preparing for his trip and has decided that the only safe way to navigate the tournament is to praise the Qatari government and bet on the most boring results imaginable.
PFT CommenterMy World Cup betting strategy is to bet every game in the group stage to be a tie
My strategy in the opening round of the World Cup in the group stage. I'm just gonna bet every game to be a tie. Ooh. Across the board that's, I'm rooting for ties nonstop. You usually get good plus signs next to 'em.
Billy, however, is leaning into the conspiracy theories. He's convinced the whole thing is a disaster waiting to happen and that the opening match might already be decided behind closed doors.
Billy FootballThe 2022 World Cup will be canceled or moved from Qatar before it finishes
I don't think the World Cup's gonna finish. I think it's gonna get canceled for some reason... I don't think it's gonna be finished in Qatar... It sounds like the literal fire fest. I'm getting Fyre Fest vibes.
Hopefully, PFT makes it back from Qatar in one piece, or we're going to have a very different-looking show on Monday.
