Your own three count the 1, 2, 3. Kid Piper Willow has returned. Has returned. Holy. I think that means that you. You. You earned that moniker. I'm so sorry. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Yep. Better than the Lightning kid. I guess. [00:01:28] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, better than POC or there's six pack. Okay, Sean. But yes. Welcome back everyone. One of my what I consider my five horse people. The. The people who have done two pizza and beyond backing back again. [00:01:48] Speaker B: I am honored and among esteemed individuals. [00:01:51] Speaker A: At some point probably this weekend I got to get all of you in a room together and have you fight to see who's enforcer. [00:02:00] Speaker B: Yeah, there's some. Some. Some big upcoming events that it's gonna folks. It's gonna be a slobber knocker. [00:02:07] Speaker A: It's gonna be a slobber knocker and a half and there's gonna have things that make you go huh? And things that make you go ooh. And God, I love wrestling. It's gonna be hell of a weekend. We have a lot of Patreon stuff coming as well because it's after a bit of a. A dry spell up to and including the fact that we keep pushing off recording the in your house six which technically happened in our timeline. I'm so sorry. Life keeps happening. It just keeps hitting me. I keep trying to carrick up and it's not working. Oh my God. It turns out I can't no sell it turns out it just all hurts. [00:02:45] Speaker B: You know you. You. You don't have to and you're not gonna. But you almost have to admire Hogan for that. [00:02:52] Speaker A: Yeah, almost. [00:02:53] Speaker B: Almost. [00:02:54] Speaker A: We'll see. He does a few things this week that made me go all right. But I'm so happy you are back for what was a pretty fun and weird and wild week. [00:03:06] Speaker B: Yeah, some. Some wild, wild stuff on these shows. [00:03:11] Speaker A: It is. Yeah. It is March 18, 1996. Kids, for those who are keeping along for some reason, would you like to start with nitro or raw? Piper. And I think this is the first time since I've had you on where I don't know which is meat and which is veg. It's all real weird. [00:03:28] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you had sent me a message about you just finished up Nitro and you're I assume head is still spinning. So I think we should probably just start there. All right. [00:03:40] Speaker A: There's so much going on, Piper. When you're right, you're right. [00:03:45] Speaker B: It, I, I, I didn't quite know what to expect, and I found the episode I turn it on and I thought I started halfway through. [00:03:54] Speaker A: Yeah. And they did a weird. They absolutely did a weird. [00:03:58] Speaker B: Just an odd cold open. [00:04:00] Speaker A: Cold open. Which is definitely not. I think they've done something similar to it once before. We get to that, though. I feel like I it was important enough for me to write this down. So has it occurred to anyone else that, like, this nitro intro is just really showing the weak points of the city operations? The electricity is, like, really up beyond all repair. And what a gas explosion in the sewers. Like, I get notifications about that sometimes that happens at uptown. It's scary. [00:04:28] Speaker B: Yeah, G. Gas, Gas leaks are no joke. [00:04:32] Speaker A: No joke. [00:04:33] Speaker B: Somebody who's had fairly close history with that. Yes. [00:04:37] Speaker A: Oh, God. Yeah. And on top of all that, they have a Hulk Hogan problem. So I, I don't know where this neighborhood is, but I'm worried about maybe. [00:04:45] Speaker B: You know, maybe you gotta flush them out. [00:04:48] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe that's what it was. We got Hulk Hogan's in the sewers, brother. We got it. [00:04:55] Speaker B: I smell a rat, dude. [00:04:57] Speaker A: Oh, there's no Hulkamaniacs down here. But we start nitro proper, like you said. Cold open. With Giant and Loch Ness just beating on each other. While not block. That's kind of has a nice lean against the Aud barrier. [00:05:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I, I, they said Loch Ness, and I am not familiar with that with that man. And I was just like, I kept looking, I'm like, who is that? Like, did they just pull a random large individual to, like, look big, but let the giant look bigger? [00:05:28] Speaker A: Well, I believe I, I think for this longest time we've been calling him Giant Hay Stacks. But is not Giant Haystacks. That's a British. I believe this is Haystacks Calhoun. [00:05:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:05:37] Speaker A: Yes, yes, and I'm correcting myself. The guy is. He is Haystacks and he's large. So you can see why I went with Giant Haystacks in my head. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:45] Speaker A: But they. He's. This is like, his last run before he's, like, done. And they just. He's a Gooner. They needed a new Gooter to come for Hogan, and they brought him in. And he's just been kind of squashing people every couple, like. Like, once a week for, like, a month now. But apparently here it was like. I don't know. I feel. I feel like Haystacks is just not feeling it tonight. And he's like, can we do something about this? Like, I'm not. I don't want to deal with this. Lex is supposed to be fighting him. He comes like. He just walks right by, lets him do their thing. Mango says that they have a Japanese monster movie going on because Kaiju is too hard of a word for him to crack. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:26] Speaker A: Honestly, I'm honestly kind of happy we didn't hear Mago try to say Kaiju. Like, I feel like that would have been. That would have been terrifying. [00:06:35] Speaker B: I did get a kick out of, like, Luger, like, handing the belts off in, like, the right third of the screen, posing while the giant is there, just beating up on Loch Ness. Moses back down to the ring. [00:06:47] Speaker A: I'm not gonna lie. It was a pretty great little bit. It was so silly. [00:06:53] Speaker B: Like, it was explosive to start the. To. To start the show. That's for sure. It got me interested. [00:06:59] Speaker A: It did. It pulled me right the In. In, like, Loch Ness never makes it to the ring. Lex wins with a count out, which is just dastardly. The audience piss is pissed, but I am cackling like, this is great. [00:07:13] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm like, okay, that's. It's gonna be one of those shows, right? [00:07:17] Speaker A: So Lex comes up to the commentary booth to break about his win. And Bobby just starts, like, clapping and smiling. He's just tickled pink that, like, one of his guys is being just a beautiful manner. He's so proud. He's like a proud. [00:07:32] Speaker B: He goes for a high five. Luger goes for a high five from Manga. And Manga just stares him down. And then he turns over to. To Heen and he's like, yeah. And they just high five right now. [00:07:43] Speaker A: No, He's a proud father. The well done son, Narcissus. I've raised him since he was a wee Narcissus. This is so great. We are so live. And this was, of course, a not expected, quote unquote standby match. And we come back to. But first they are. [00:08:03] Speaker B: They're like, hey, we got a standby match. I'm like, okay, interesting. And then they immediately cut to Hogan and Savage cutting a promo. And I was like, that doesn't look like a standby or a match. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Yeah, they lied to me. That's why I put that one's like, guys, this is a swerve, bro. [00:08:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:19] Speaker A: They gave me a Hulk and a Macho and like, there are cheers, but holy the booze. Oh, my God. And I took notes. Like, I don't know if it's now a daily motion podcast and we're not getting the with audio, but, like, holy. This almost sounded like raw on Netflix. Like, Hogan was getting booed. [00:08:40] Speaker B: He was not. They were not happy to see him. [00:08:43] Speaker A: It was wild in, like, macho then. But macho talks, and they're like, yeah, yeah, right. [00:08:49] Speaker B: Like it should be. [00:08:53] Speaker A: Hulk starts squawking at Baby Face Tony in a suit that's way too big for him, which is always fun. [00:09:00] Speaker B: I was. He. He. He goes up to. To Shefani. And I have to say, you know something? Tony Schiavone really does not hit quite well as, you know, something mean Gene. And I was just like, wow, that. No, no dig on Shivani. But that doesn't quite hit as well. [00:09:19] Speaker A: No. Well, once again, Hulk Hogan, much like the Undertaker, as we talked about on Hate Speech last this week, is more he. He's only as good as who he's working off of, so even his promos needs a mean gene or it just doesn't hit. Right. [00:09:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:37] Speaker A: Whereas. Whereas Macho man is gold. [00:09:42] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:09:42] Speaker A: He could be talking to himself and it would be like, just. Yeah, like that. It's a fine line between hate and love. [00:09:51] Speaker B: Nitro glycerin style in a little while. [00:09:55] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. The rying. That. She's getting poetic with it. I like it. He's doing his thing and. And. And it's just so good. And everyone pops for him hating on Hogan. And it was really. [00:10:07] Speaker B: Oh, the rest of the show, like, after that and like the rest of the evening, I'm just, like, sitting there like, oh, yeah, this is good dinner. [00:10:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:15] Speaker B: Like, it's. You just slip into it real easily. You hear him say one and. And you're entranced. [00:10:22] Speaker A: It's like, what Hogan thinks he's doing. [00:10:25] Speaker B: Yes. [00:10:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:27] Speaker A: Just has. I guess there's a Texas Tornado match later tonight, and there are no stinking titles on the line, says Hogan. But we. He's still trying to make Hulkamaniac vs Dungeon of Doom happen. And that's. I. [00:10:40] Speaker B: That's what I wrote down. I was like, dungeon of Doom is still going on. [00:10:44] Speaker A: They're still trying. And they're back to their old yeti bit. The yeti bit. Like, we're like, we have a surprise new doomer who's going to come in and, and kill the Hulk Hogan. And okay, sure, everyone booze. And that's how I feel. [00:11:00] Speaker B: Six to eight months of, of this at least going on. [00:11:04] Speaker A: They. And they got away from it for a while and then they're like, no, we got to bring it back because we got nothing else. And Hulk, Hulk duck faces so hard at the camera that his nose disappeared. And I had to take a screen. Holy. It was like. It was. I. I couldn't like photoshopped that better. It was so sick. We come back to the actual standby match though. Public Enemy time. Rocko Rock get the tables. And as I type this, they go off to the side to grab a table to bring to the raid to. To much applause. [00:11:40] Speaker B: People. People love it. It's a MacGuffin. Red herring. Chekhov's gun. All three of them kind of in the match. But as is expected with the. With those guys. [00:11:54] Speaker A: Yeah, naturally. So something's gonna happen. So like Bobby, Bobby says the Steiners will wrestle you, but these guys are street pogs. And I gotta say, like, weird matchup. Like. Steiners. Yeah, Steiners. Okay. Coming out to beat up on Public Enemy. [00:12:11] Speaker B: Okay, sure. Sure I am. I still get so confused when I see non big papa come pump Scott Steiner. It's like strange. It's so like because that man was blonde with a goatee, all that I've known him and then I go back and look and he's just this like mulleted, clean shaven, like just beef steak man. And I'm like, that's. The sinklet guy is the same guy. And then he talks into the, into the camera and you're like, oh yeah, that's Scotty. All right. [00:12:42] Speaker A: So, yeah, weird matchup. Public Enemy and Sniders. And I kind of thought maybe for a second there was gonna be that thing where they send him out to just beat the out of Public Enemy. Because everyone hates Public Enemy is apparently a thing. But I was set like, like thankfully wrong. [00:13:03] Speaker B: Some impressive, impressive stuff in this match from. From Public Enemy. [00:13:08] Speaker A: More than a few things. Yeah, actually like as Eric is talking and tells us if we're taking notes to take a break. So I'm in a weird spot here. I just kind of not take notes. I guess it was like, Eric, you're really me here. But he's talking. And then here's Scoot Steiner and Rocco Rock. And as they're talking, this Rocco does like a. An arm drag counter out of a tilt style. [00:13:35] Speaker B: So, like, you guys, that was wildly impressive. [00:13:40] Speaker A: Yeah, no, he's not gonna be here for any public enemy slander. And then, like, out of nowhere, Eric gets word that Dennis Rodman has been suspended for six games and fine for a headbutt. And he must be getting ready for uncensored. And it's like real sports. Join us. Love us. [00:13:58] Speaker B: We have. We have the news. We're live. Please, please. [00:14:02] Speaker A: See, we're real. We're real people. But this match is more competitive than I was expecting. Skylers are, like, working with the enemy pretty well. But as I say, this Rocco goes for a splash off the top, and Rick, like, is trying to counter him and do a power slam and just misses him. [00:14:19] Speaker B: That was. That was not pretty. [00:14:21] Speaker A: That was terrifying. Rocco makes the flip, but barely, like, scary. [00:14:27] Speaker B: I think they even on commentary, they called it, like. It was like, oh, it's almost a broken neck. And it's like, yeah, probably closer than it should have been. [00:14:34] Speaker A: Yeah, you're not supposed to say that out loud. Like, oh, Jesus. But sure enough, Rocco is like this. I'm Rocco Rock. He hits a middle buying salt to a standing scooter. And it's good. Like, Eric and Bobby both have to admit they're impressed. I'm like, yeah, damn right. [00:14:51] Speaker B: Like, yeah, I'm not doing that. They're not doing that. [00:14:56] Speaker A: Yeah, you're definitely not doing that. Rocko Rock is doing it anymore. [00:14:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:15:00] Speaker A: But, yeah, sure enough, Rocco then goes for the Vikingo spot. Like, what the fuck? Minus the 450. But Rick Steiner ends up laid out on the table at ringside. And I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. Viking. Go, Viking, go. And Rocco does a running senton to the outside. No. 4. No, 450. Unfortunately, just the senton. [00:15:21] Speaker B: Rick moves, though, because no catching. No catching a Steiner, which I kind of saw coming. But I just. [00:15:30] Speaker A: There's no way Rick's like this, like. [00:15:32] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:34] Speaker A: I was a collegiate wrestler for the University of Michigan. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Like, no, I am not going through a table. [00:15:43] Speaker A: No, this. This is. And he moved in like godamn. It was pretty great, though. So the Steiners take that as an opportunity to get the. The Bulldog for the win. It was a really cool match. I was happy with it. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I was. I very much enjoyed that and was not expecting to. Given the participants. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I was expecting that to be really Rough, if anything, and it was actually quite smooth. America's Automotive Super Center Pep Boys shows us the pin of the week from this match. A fancy replay of the the Bulldog. It was good. I had a blast. But now, Piper, it's time again for my theory. Anderson can get a good match from anyone. [00:16:28] Speaker B: He. He, he might be able to. Actually, he got a good match out. [00:16:36] Speaker A: Of none other than the Booty Man. I, I think he got a pretty okay one. I, I don't know. But first he comes out with woman. Yeah. The big bad booty daddy. I liked Brutus the Beefcake. I liked me a barber when I was a kid. What happened? What did they do to my booty man? [00:16:57] Speaker B: He's a. He was the Zodiac, but apparently undercover for Hogan the whole time. [00:17:04] Speaker A: But they never really play into that, even though solid angle, like what the. But what happened? Why the dad go Booty Man? [00:17:14] Speaker B: They bring him out in this God awful attire that Bobby. [00:17:19] Speaker A: Bobby said that mothballs must be eaten at his. Like they're chewed at his butt. [00:17:26] Speaker B: I, I had to do a double, if not triple take. I was like, there's no okay. That's. Is that okay? It's just pink. It's just pink spandex. [00:17:34] Speaker A: Okay, okay. It would be okay if the rest of him was tan, but his ass was that colorful. [00:17:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Terrifying. [00:17:42] Speaker B: But yeah, yeah, I was, I was very scared that it was just. It was the Booty man. [00:17:47] Speaker A: It was the Booty man's booty. Yeah. Terry stole all his charisma like a personality leech. And it is so up. Bobby introduces ass eating to Monday night fake fights. Let's be honest, it was inevitable. Arn hits Leslie in the kidneys and Eric calls it a kootenay because bootyman is such a awkward thing to have to say repeatedly. Like a proper down. It's so hard. Like everything about this was bad idea. [00:18:14] Speaker B: No, I, I clearly, I think it was in a. It was his idea and they just let him do it because he's, He's. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Because he's Hogan's buddy, so. He's Buddy man. He's Hogan's buddy man. Booty man. Buddy man booty brother. Write that down. [00:18:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:33] Speaker A: As much as I hate to give it this much credit, this match is mid. The crowd is. Hey, hey. It's pretty mid. It's good. The crowd is quickly bored than calling for the DDT from AR though. Like, please enforcer him out of his misery. Please just give it to us. Ed tries to booty up, but gets a hammer lock power slam for his trouble, which was pretty sweet maneuver from aa. Then suddenly, Kimberly appears. Matching outfits with Bootyman. An all white midi skirt, sleeveless white denim top. That's really great. [00:19:05] Speaker B: I wrote down that outfit is so gender. I was. It's so very much impressed and enamored and jealous and. Why is she with the booty man? [00:19:16] Speaker A: She's. Why is she the booty woman? Yeah, but she's apparently the booty woman. But that's no gender in 90s gender. It was so good. [00:19:24] Speaker B: Yep. [00:19:25] Speaker A: Oh, Kimberly. The poor lady I did love. The woman immediately grabs her shoe. A timeless Tony storm after my own heart. Just this. I'm loading the shoe on site as soon as I see you. You foreshadowing, right? Foreshadowing indeed. But yeah. Look, I know a thing. You're booty girls. Being an ass lady myself, but come on, Kimberly, don't. Don't do this. Do they not do phrasing in the 90s? What did I just. [00:19:55] Speaker B: Okay, 2000. Actually, it came with Y2K. [00:19:58] Speaker A: Yeah, that was the bug. The. The pace keeps up and the Road warriors come out to ye old Road Warrior. Pop. Hot damn. Naturally, standing ovation. [00:20:11] Speaker B: Hey, hold on, hold on. Something we skipped over the Booty man wonder. [00:20:15] Speaker A: The Booty man did win. Oh, I forgot. No, the Booty man snuck. [00:20:18] Speaker B: The Booty man beat on Anderson. [00:20:20] Speaker A: Oh, he eked one out. I wouldn't say he beat him. He eked out a. A quick little. He's. [00:20:26] Speaker B: That was 1, 2, 3. I. A win's a win. [00:20:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I guess Hogan's like, if I can't get my. My cover back in singles competition for Martin Anderson Nitro. Booty Man. [00:20:39] Speaker B: What's the Booty Man? [00:20:40] Speaker A: Brother, once again, he's getting Hoax like leftovers. It's terrible. Oh, Ed Leslie, the poor. But yeah, God damn. This is a great time, though, because even on a Monday night on TNT in 1996. Standing ovation for LOD. [00:20:59] Speaker B: As deserved. [00:21:00] Speaker A: As deserved. And they are being fed a fine buffet of the nastiest of boys. Bongo tells Heenan to put down the medi musil. And I just want to say, you know what? Mango messed up fiber is an important part of any diet. You leave my weasel alone, okay? [00:21:16] Speaker B: We all need to be regular. Even Bobby Heenan. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Bobby Heenan more than anyone. Okay? He's got to deal with Mago. But Brian Knobs. I don't know if the first thing I noticed is that Knobs has athletic tape over his shirt around his stomach. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Didn't even think about that. So you brought it up. Yeah, he did. [00:21:38] Speaker A: Dude, that's not how that works, dude. It looks less like he's nursing a muscle broke. He's trying to patch a hole in his little jersey. Billy's hanging out. I couldn't believe that. [00:21:54] Speaker B: Too short, buddy. [00:21:55] Speaker A: Yeah. What the Is going on? Yeah, no, it's like he went for a crop top and then changed his mind. Yeah, we've all been there, honey. But, yeah, we come come back live from commercial, and it's still a cluster. This match is just. It's technically supposed to be, like, an actual tag match, but it's not. [00:22:15] Speaker B: No, they're just. [00:22:17] Speaker A: Yeah, they're just doing the thing more. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Like a tornado match than it's kind of. [00:22:23] Speaker A: Oddly enough, it's more what I was expecting from Steiners versus public. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Yeah, it's more of a bowling shoe ugly kind of match. [00:22:31] Speaker A: Yep, exactly. Hawk murders a nasty boy with a clothesline. And, like, how do you think. How much do you think people hated. Like. Yeah, I've never seen him throw a clothesline that didn't look like it couldn't concuss a hanger hanger like that. Concuss an Adam Page. Like, that's. [00:22:49] Speaker B: It's. Oh, God, no. That. That. Nobody wants to take that. [00:22:55] Speaker A: Yep. And then Animal gets a chair involved, but not. [00:22:58] Speaker B: Oh, the chairs. The chairs were so funny the whole night. Anytime anyone wanted to get a chair involved for whatever reason, there was not a folding chair in the arena. It's all those, like, blue, hard plastic legs splayed out like a cow in an earthquake. Like, chairs. Yeah, yeah. [00:23:21] Speaker A: Like a home chair. [00:23:24] Speaker B: Like, I was. I was worried later on in the evening when. When chairs got involved that somebody was gonna fall on it and was just going to, like, pierce through them. [00:23:32] Speaker A: No, that could have gotten real. That could have gotten real body real quick. I thought Arne Anderson was going to lose eye, but, like, Animal tries, but it's hard to hit someone hard with this. It just looks awful. [00:23:44] Speaker B: It looks so goofy. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Yeah. So the crowd is going back and forth between nasty chance and lod chants. And I feel once again like I'm on the bad drugs. Like, how. How are the nasties getting the much so. Yeah. Eric tells us mean Jean had a bad case of the flu. And Bobby says, oh, he has the sniffles. And I figure either Jean was home hungover, he was close to death in a hospital. And, like, both is up. It's wrestling. I. Like, they wouldn't have mentioned it, you know, if. If it was like, if he was f. Only if he. Fine and they're ripping him. Or he was like, dying and they were trying to cover up the fuck. [00:24:25] Speaker B: Die. We want to get at least one last reference out here for him. Like, yeah, God, he's alive. [00:24:32] Speaker A: I simply will not take a good faith interpretation of this. I'm sorry. But the. The match starts to form something similar to wrestling match, but it's still just like a brawl. [00:24:43] Speaker B: And yeah, at one point in there, there's like a. A good, like, upward shot angle where Hawk goes for a splash that he, like, jumps up. He just looks like an ljn. Like, yeah, Road warriors figure. He's got his, like, arms up. He just splashes down on top of one of the Nasty Boys. And I was like, oh, that's what they modeled the toys after. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Yeah, basically. So he could do the doomsday. Like, yeah, it's the same move. He flew like a hawk. Oh, God, that's terrifying. Yeah. Yeah. [00:25:14] Speaker B: You see, there might be something there to that. [00:25:16] Speaker A: I know. Write that one down. Write that one down. I mean, I know a thing or two by a thing or two. [00:25:22] Speaker B: You've been around for. For a little bit. [00:25:24] Speaker A: Yeah. This is 29 episodes area. And it's just. As things start to get a little boring, though, the crowd goes nuts for the Steiner brothers coming out to grab the nasties. I guess they don't like each other. Like, last week they jumped the nasties for their debut. We're getting hints of a story and I like this as opposed to Vince telling you the story after it just happened to make sure you really know what's happening. This is more like what's going on here. Yeah, Intrigue. [00:25:53] Speaker B: We believe in the viewer to extrapolate. [00:25:57] Speaker A: Some details, you know, context clues. But again, Animal again uses his spike as a weapon. It's becoming a habit. But then the Steiners still hit on Lod. They're. They just hate everyone. And this pleases me. Having the Legion of Dune and the Steiners in one tag team division, it's hard not to kind of be hype about that. [00:26:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Because eventually that's gonna. The. The immovable forces hitting the. You know how it goes. [00:26:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Unmovable. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Unmovable forces hitting the immovable objects. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Yes. Quite that old chestnut. Pluto somewhere losing his mind. Was that Pluto? I don't know. But yeah, just warm feelings that are dashed down by the tornado match. Main event. Tasky and flare versus Macho and Hogan. Never mind. I want to get off. I want to. I want to be done. Bobby says for uncensored, he is going to be wearing leather and Vinyl and a hard hat which came out of nowhere. Yeah. All right. Eric says, you always do that. He's like, well, not always. Love them, but Flair and Taskmaster come out. But more importantly, woman comes out in an amazing dress with the big gold belt ruling so hard. Just iconic. Mago tries to reference Blazing Saddles and Bobby goes for a deep cut. He says, hey, weren't you sitting around the fire in a scene in that movie? Like, that was a different Mago, Bobby, but good one. Get his ass. [00:27:35] Speaker B: Oh, wow. Yeah, Okay. I, again, I didn't, I didn't pick up on that. I kn. I knew he made the Blazing Saddles and he said something about the fire and I thought he was just like, I thought he said, weren't they sitting around a fire at that scene? And I was like, whatever, Bobby. Okay. But yeah, no, wow. Sharp as attack. [00:27:53] Speaker A: Sharp as attack. And I'm the type of nerd who like was into Mel Brooks and this wrestling at the same time in my life, you know, too young. So like that reference, I was like, yeah, there was a mongo there. Yeah. Oh, good stuff, Bobby. But we eventually get through this weird, weird match. [00:28:14] Speaker B: Yeah, it was in a, in a, in a show where you had four very train wreck match having tag teams. This was the biggest train wreck match of them all. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Well, at least it was supposed to be, but like, really, I mean, for the first like five minutes, Hogan and Flair are doing three stooges spots with like a hat over the eyes. And he's like, Flair at one point is selling hits that Hogan isn't making. And I just cackle. Hogan grabs my brother. No, no, no, you're giving the game away. The whole thing's just ridiculous. And they've, they do the thing. They, they do Si doe and switch partners. Thankfully, at one point, a woman like rakes the eyes on Macho. That's good, pal. Bobby threatens violence against Dennis Rodman for some reason. And then Eric cools the vibe by implying that Madonna might show up and that would be fun and just like sounds. [00:29:16] Speaker B: That was a lot. That was a line. [00:29:18] Speaker A: Really not selling it, Eric. I wouldn't want. I'd be like, you can go have fun with your wrestling friends. I'm not. Yeah, I. Madonna am not coming to the wrestling show is also probably like Cyndi Lauper already did it. I don't want to get the talk, but we, we eventually get the double figure spot. Hogan on Tasky, Flair on Macho. [00:29:41] Speaker B: What a God awful figure four from Hogan. [00:29:44] Speaker A: Always, always he does. I swear to God. He does it bad on purpose to piss flare off probably. Actually, I can't imagine. He, like, refuses to do the spin and it's just every. Oh, I hate them. [00:29:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:57] Speaker A: These are clearly parentheses rest hold figure fours. Let's not get any, you know, any thoughts? [00:30:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:03] Speaker A: Macho turns it over. Ric Flair gets out, and this was great. He gets in the ref's face and the ref pushes him and flare bumps. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just flare bumping for Nick Patrick with like eight exclamation points. [00:30:17] Speaker A: So good, so good. Like, just really giving it. And I, I, oh, you gotta give the refs that. You got to make them look like, like monsters. I love it. Eric tells us they're going overtime past the hour to stay with this. The C in WCW stands for commitment changes it. And I love it. And it's good. Flair has at least 10 more minutes of to get. And come on, guys. They really play up the split screen. It's actually kind of cool because at one point, Tasky sends Macho man over. [00:30:50] Speaker B: The rope and he comes into the second screen. [00:30:53] Speaker A: Yeah, and he comes into the second screen outside. I was like, this is happy accidents. [00:30:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:58] Speaker A: Ross of Wrestling. This is so good. Those are good little trees. But Mago says Taskmaster is gonna pull every goon in America out for his stable. And I called it, we called it Piper Dungeon of Goon Vindicated Scooters for life. It's on shirts. You can get it. [00:31:16] Speaker B: Eric's mid dot store by five for your friends. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, God. Hulk. Hulk DiMadome. [00:31:30] Speaker B: I've got a. I got a merch pitch later on in. Later on, once we hit the other show. [00:31:35] Speaker A: Oh, oh, the other one. There you go. Hulk starts to hook up just in time for Art Anderson to come cause trouble, you know, because it's like, no dq. He trips Hogan so he can't drop. But then like, Pillman's like, oh, no dq. Bet you know, hold my beer. [00:31:52] Speaker B: He flies out in an interesting T shirt that I'm here assuming is a phone number. Now, I don't know if that was supposed to be the WCW hotline of the day, but I did write that number down. [00:32:08] Speaker A: If so, last week, anyone watching last or listening last knew that he got dragged out of the audience with people holding up a 1, 800, call Brian or 1900 number. I, I don't know if it's a work or a shoot. Honestly. I think it might be him trying to get fired. And, like, it's the him putting the number out, like, call me to hire me sort Of I honest, honestly don't know. [00:32:35] Speaker B: I wrote the number down. If we want to call and see if it still works. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Oh, God, I highly doubt that. I don't. It's a 900 number. Don't. You're gonna get charged and not even know. But it was certainly interesting. And he's like, no, this. I'm gonna go crazy. And he again p pulls out the chairs. Yeah, he whs on. If ref's like it ring the bell. Because this I didn't work years on Bill heard to deal with this. So, like, Booty man comes out. Okay, sure. We get the reveal of the newest goons to take on Hogan. [00:33:08] Speaker B: Oh, boy. [00:33:11] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I am myself. It's Debo. It's the President of Earth. It's Zeus Lister. It's Zeus. [00:33:18] Speaker B: It's gangster. I mean. [00:33:21] Speaker A: Oh, that's what they're calling him. [00:33:22] Speaker B: The gangster Z Gangster is what he is going over here. He's not Zeus. That's. That's when he's in the Fed, brother. [00:33:30] Speaker A: Yeah, that's trademark Z Gangsta. [00:33:32] Speaker B: And do you know the name of the other individual? [00:33:35] Speaker A: No. I bet the whole solid bit of my notes here is, why aren't they giving me his name? [00:33:42] Speaker B: Because I believe they didn't name him yet, but at either before this. But I think this is when he was revealed. His name was the final solution. [00:33:53] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:33:54] Speaker B: Which they then changed to the ultimate. [00:33:56] Speaker A: Solution, which is only a little bit better. [00:33:59] Speaker B: Not much better, but yeah. [00:34:02] Speaker A: Jesus effing fucking Christ. [00:34:05] Speaker B: I forget which group complained to. To them, but they were like, hey, no, don't do that. [00:34:12] Speaker A: Oh, my God, Piper, I can't, because. [00:34:16] Speaker B: I. I had to look it up. And I was like, I've. I've seen these guys before. Obviously, I know Tony Lister, and, like, I'd recognize the other guy. I think I believe that was Jeep Swenson is who the guy was. He had, like. He's got a history, like, in wrestling. [00:34:31] Speaker A: But all I know is he has an outline mustache. [00:34:35] Speaker B: God, what awful face paint, though. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Oh, my God. It was very strange and very wrong. Yeah, but it. So you got Zeus coming back to fight Hogan. Really grabbing to get mad, Vince. Mad and sad in new, new ways. And it's him in this. This huge dude. But, like, what? What? I. I'm just. What's going on here? [00:34:57] Speaker B: What are we doing? [00:34:58] Speaker A: What. What are we doing? And, like, whoever did this to Did Lister's eyebrows needs to be fired. This is so weird. I hate this. The Powers run. Rick talks and struts Tony Schiavone is ask a taskmaster who the these guys are. Kevin and Jimmy Hart both say a bunch of stuff. They don't answer the question. They go to Ric Flair and please God, maybe he can give me some names. No, no, of course not. Macho Man. Nothing. Macho Man Hogan. And then he bows the way he's. [00:35:28] Speaker B: The way he says Macho man was. It's like the cellar door of pro wrestling. Just Macho Man. I loved it. [00:35:37] Speaker A: Oh, God, he's really such a. [00:35:41] Speaker B: He's such a. [00:35:42] Speaker A: He's so awful. But then he bow. Literally bows to Arn. Arn starts with Big brother Booty. And I mean this is the one of them that has all the words he makes the full sentence makes sense. Maybe he'll names. No, no, no. Who the are these? So back to Taskmaster. Still nothing. Just spiders and. And finally he says, you know this guy. And I'm like, yeah, he's the president of Earth. We've all seen 5th helmet. Then they point to the other guy again, no name. Arn just says, the Wolverine is back. Maybe that's. I don't know. Rick struts some more. Tony ends up back to go to. Back to the booth. Thank. Finally. Finally. At the end of the show, we get our obligatory Pepe talk because he's a good old cowboy again. And we see him for the first time. [00:36:33] Speaker B: He got a little hat. [00:36:34] Speaker A: He got a little hat. Finally. And Bobby is jazzed. Only one more week of Hogan. It's over. What the. [00:36:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it. It started as confusingly as it ended, basically. [00:36:50] Speaker A: So, yeah, not feel like not that much better over on Raw, but we're. [00:36:56] Speaker B: Yeah, is. [00:36:57] Speaker A: Is an interesting one. It starts with our orchestral strings going wild west notes. Shawn Michaels has a hell of a. And I guess Ted Turner is getting a movie spoof still happening. Unquestionably. The British Bulldog is in the ring versus Jack the Snake Roberts. Cornet is already sweating the Snake. And the crowds is just happy to see Jake as. As. As am I. This is my favorite Jake the Snake gear. This is the Jake the Snake action figure that I had for sure my childhood Jake, if you will. The turquoise pants and the vest with the snake skin. Love it. I'm so into it that I almost. Right. I almost miss Vince making a Tracy Ullman reference, though. [00:37:42] Speaker B: I wrote that down. I will not stand for Tracy Ullman slander from Vince McMahon. [00:37:47] Speaker A: Well, I guess he was saying not slander, saying good things came out of England. But like, don't you keep Tracy Olman's Name? Yeah, your lips. Sir Lawler says that Bulldog gives England someone to be proud of at least. And he gives us Lennox Lewis and the almond. Not wrong, but like you. And then his unquestionably count gets to two, three minutes into the show. [00:38:10] Speaker B: At one point, I thought somebody called him Baby Boy Smith instead of Davey Boy Smith. And I think just Baby Boy Smith in a giant diaper. Like wrestling, as you know, the British baby Bulldog. Anyways, I thought it was funny. [00:38:27] Speaker A: Indeed. No, no, it's hitting me. It's hitting me now. It took a second now getting the full image. [00:38:36] Speaker B: Yeah, he's like the New Year's baby. He's got a big bottle. He's Baby Boy spin. [00:38:41] Speaker A: It's somewhere in the back. Gold dust is writing that down. Yeah, like. Yeah, I could do that later. That's gonna be. It's gonna be really bad. But yeah. As I finish typing the sentence about the two unquestionably three minutes and he gets his third in. It's. It's wild. Catching Davey Boy, like, roided out figure versus the drunk dude from my youth. It's really like the. The difference is freaking me. Like, Jake looks like the guy who'd show up to deer camp who's like, one of my dad's best friends, but you only see him once a year at deer camp. And he's just kind of there and he's drinking. Like, it's really weird and like, good for him. But somehow because of wrestling, they're equally matched here, which is just so great. I love it. It starts to really over hype a match on Superstars with Lawler, the most dangerous match ever type shit. And Piper, the last time you were here, we got drawn into watching WCW Saturday Night for Jim Duggan. [00:39:44] Speaker B: And I did. [00:39:45] Speaker A: I will not be tempted into watching Superstars. I draw, okay? I draw a line. So I'm just nipping that in the bud right now. [00:39:54] Speaker B: Great. I wasn't gonna suggest it. And I. I was. I would have taken the ride, but you're not gonna catch any complaints here. [00:40:02] Speaker A: No, I'm happy to jump on that grenade. Jesus Christ. After the dis of Dugan goes to Ireland and it weirdly looks kind of like Atlanta. Meanwhile, Jake finally gets the DDT on the Bulldog. And that should be the three. But Corny, of course, pulls them out to break the count. [00:40:20] Speaker B: What a weird little, like, crawl he had to do, like, just like, weird pun intended slither he did to get into position so that like, Cornet could pull him out. I was like, why is he that's really. Oh, okay. He had to, he had to hit his spot. [00:40:36] Speaker A: I see there, there's a, there's an X on that part of the match there, the, the mat that we didn't see. And then here's your C. Good, good old fashioned stuff. So Jake just gets mad and gets the snake out to chase Corny. [00:40:51] Speaker B: I like how Jake runs with the snake on, just chasing after Cornette who trips and falls at one point. Point. [00:40:59] Speaker A: I think it's like the crowd's mad that, that, that their guy lost, but they're happy that Jake is tormenting Jim. And I'm like, yes, no, that's. That's correct. He won the day if not the match. So this week we get another set of vignettes for Sean and Brett getting Rocky trained for the Iron man match. And Phil. Pepsi. Phil. Mr. Punk, sir, I'm sorry to break it to you, but it's all Rocky. Wrestling is always Rocky. You're gonna have to watch the films, my guy. It's just sit down. You can knock them out in a weekend. He used to do it on TNT with commercials. It was easy. You just get some Pepsi. I know you like Pepsi and you know. But Brett points out that it's his own son is in a Shawn Michaels glasses and hatch. I'm like, dude, I don't know my guy. I'd take that to the grave. Like, Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't put that out in your. Even my own son thinks I suck at. [00:42:05] Speaker B: You. You, Sean, already won the match and you haven't even wrestled yet. [00:42:09] Speaker A: Yeah. So he does some cardio about it to sweat off the pain. [00:42:14] Speaker B: He watches some tv. [00:42:18] Speaker A: Oh, it's so good. But back in the ring, it's time to make a difference. Fatu is back and I wonder, is he being fed a jobber or is he the jobber? And then Golda's music's hit now. Oh, sorry, Quiche. It's. It's the. The turn has been made. You. You are the. [00:42:35] Speaker B: Yep. [00:42:35] Speaker A: Now. Yeah. And we get it right. We get a shot of the greatest T shirt ever. [00:42:42] Speaker B: I made it. I saw that T shirt and I was like, I. I gotta see if anybody has this on ebay. And they did. And I was like, cool, that's a hundred dollars. Never mind. But I did favorite it so I could sit and ogle it. And then a couple days later, the seller goes, hey, I got an offer for you. And sent me an 85 offer for that shirt. Now, I have not bought it, but I gotta tell You. I sure as hell I'm thinking about it. [00:43:15] Speaker A: God damn. As you should, folks. Send. Find Piper and send her money to get the shirt because one of us has to own this. [00:43:24] Speaker B: It is just so good. Peak 90s. Peak gold dust. And Marlene is on the back. [00:43:29] Speaker A: Yes. It's, like, all over print. Like it. Oh, my God, I need it so bad. So, yeah, we come back from that amazingness. Lawler does an inadvertent transphobia on the lady in the. And on Chaz Bono. Like, yeah. Ahead of Chaz actually coming out. That makes me sad. And we get a bizarre right. [00:43:55] Speaker B: Like, right after which I, by my count, I think, is the only one of the segment. [00:44:00] Speaker A: Thanks. [00:44:01] Speaker B: Unless I missed one. That was the only one. [00:44:04] Speaker A: No, there was one that comes later. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:44:08] Speaker A: That I took. I gotta. I got notes. But if Vince calls Marlena and I. [00:44:15] Speaker B: Wrote that down, too. I've never heard that before as a descriptor in my life. [00:44:19] Speaker A: Is he the most unfuckable man in history? Is. Is that yes? Yeah, I think he might be. Yeah. Man in history. [00:44:28] Speaker B: And survey says yes. [00:44:30] Speaker A: Oh, my God, I hate him so much. Gold dust, though, looks amazing in the golden IC title belt. And a kilt. [00:44:36] Speaker B: And the kilt. God, coming out and wrestling the kilt is, like, such a cunty move. I love it so much. [00:44:43] Speaker A: Good. What he doing? Oh, no. And I thought maybe he was just gonna come out and that was it. No, he wrestles. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Wrestled in the whole thing. [00:44:54] Speaker A: Good. But Fatu gets a huge body drop in there and does, like, the chest caress at him and smacks his ass. [00:45:01] Speaker B: And I'm like, dude, that was cute. [00:45:03] Speaker A: It was cute. But, like, you're only gonna get him worked up. Kishi, baby, you don't know what you're working with. [00:45:09] Speaker B: He got the. He got to show a little bit of the. The fun dancing he's gonna do in a couple years. [00:45:13] Speaker A: It's gonna get him over, and I love it. I don't care how as long as Rakisha gets over. Like, here to prove our point, Rikishi attacks Dustin's ass repeatedly. And here Vince says he is attacking him in a bizarre fashion. [00:45:27] Speaker B: Oh, I'm. I didn't even. [00:45:29] Speaker A: So if you hold on, I'm gonna roll out this chalkboard. I have a flowchart here. And I think we can determine here from the flowchart and all the evidence I've been gathered since Dustin's debut, I think bizarre just means butt stuff. Means sodomy, I think isn't what it's getting ma'am. [00:45:53] Speaker B: I think you've got quite the scientific conclusion here. [00:45:57] Speaker A: I'm going for a Nobel Prize, so. [00:46:00] Speaker B: I wish you nothing. [00:46:00] Speaker A: But don't erase that Mox. Don't erase this. All right? But yes, really, it's starting to come together. Piper talks some over the phone. It doesn't matter, because gold does knock Spot two down. And then T begs him in the kill. Just like decades ahead of Fortnite. [00:46:21] Speaker B: Yes. What was great is right as this is like, finishing up. And like, gold dust is like, slithering and writhing out of the ring is when my roommate gets home and walks in and just sees that on the screen. He. He said nothing because this is not like, the biggest surprise, but I was just like, yeah. If all the times to walk in would be when golden is to. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Is being gold dust and squatting over his face, giving him. Yeah, that. And he immediately gives him the cur call after for the three. That's great. And then him and Marlo get freaky with it. [00:46:51] Speaker B: So good and wise words by Rowdy Roddy Piper talking about the street fight coming up. Oh, and I quote, if you've got a weak heart, don't come. Which, this is where I'm here to pitch this idea. It's just you've got Roddy Piper or Piper myself. If you've got a weak heart, don't come. Just in like, curved, rounded letters, right? You know, in. That's all, folks, kind of. [00:47:22] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, just write that down, Piper. That's amazing advice. Like, everyone that in mind, but also amazing advice. Don't be Triple Paul if the Ultimate Warrior is coming back for wrestling. [00:47:39] Speaker B: I forgot that match was coming up and just I wrote down, oh, no. Ultimate Warrior, Triple H. I totally. [00:47:45] Speaker A: I I. Folks listening along will know. I honest, God couldn't remember if he actually showed up. I thought that we were just getting trolled for a while there. I was like, I don't remember if he actually shows up. And then they're like, he fights Triple H. I was like, oh, yeah, he does. I remember now. All right. Brought by Tycho RC Maximum Heat brings us Ultimate Warrior making a jobber out of Triple Paul. So have that to look forward to on the Patreon, folks. Team Cornette's talking with Vinnie Mac, Owen and Bulldog and Vader and nice Vader in a nice comfy sweatshirt over his full. [00:48:22] Speaker B: Yeah, he showed up in his jammies. [00:48:25] Speaker A: It makes me giggle every time. He always looks like a dog wearing his sweater and is pulling at his leashes. It just looks not natural. You're Right. [00:48:37] Speaker B: The. The mask really puts it over into like this uncanny valley of like, this isn't what a bipedal person should look like. [00:48:45] Speaker A: Yeah, that's not what an athlete looks like, even if you're putting him in an athletic sweatshirt. This is the whole. This whole segment sums up to. It's Vader time. And then they get pretty pre recorded statements from the baby faces. Yoko drops his ass on a dummy of Jim Cornette with a blue. Her head. And honestly, striking resemblance. Yeah, it was pretty good. It did a lot for me. [00:49:07] Speaker B: What a ridiculous six man tag though, right? Jake the Snake, Ahmed Johnson and Yokozuna against Vader Bulldog and Owen Hart. [00:49:21] Speaker A: What in what? Like you couldn't. You couldn't random number generate that? [00:49:26] Speaker B: No. [00:49:27] Speaker A: What the. You are absolutely correct. That is bonkers. That's like, that's what you put on. [00:49:34] Speaker B: With your action figures. Like, you're like, all right, we're gonna have these guys versus these guys in the main event. Except Vince did it with the. [00:49:43] Speaker A: With the real guys with his action figures. Yeah, yeah. [00:49:46] Speaker B: With. Get his own action figures that are flesh and blood of men. [00:49:50] Speaker A: Yeah. We do find out though, at the end of this just madness that the baby face stipulation will be like if the baby faces when they get five minutes in the Internet. A classic stipulation. Love it. Woo. We come back from commercial to. Barry Horowitz is the man, the myth. [00:50:11] Speaker B: I. I know what his role is, but that man does not deserve a job or entrance. I don't care. [00:50:15] Speaker A: He does not. He is jobber to the stars. He should be getting his entire entrance and he's just all around badass Barry Horowitz, folks. I get excited obviously, because Barry Horowitz here. And then they immediately cut to Diesel and take her fighting at like a house show. And I'm like, are you kidding me? Diesel takes. I guess this was the night before. Diesel takes a chair to Brett and Taker and then a chair to Sean. Officially ending ship at a house show. [00:50:42] Speaker B: What a. What a beautiful bump from. From Sean, though, from taking real, real good stuff. [00:50:48] Speaker A: But I wonder. I wonder why Kevin felt like maybe he wasn't being utilized. Right. And maybe you should leave. That's. I don't know. I feel like that's a pretty big character arc for those two that to not happen at a house show. [00:51:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:06] Speaker A: All right, I'm back. I don't know. I. I guess I'm. I'm backseat booking. But like, come on now you want. [00:51:12] Speaker B: To sell the idea that, well, anything can happen here, pal. So people buy the live. You know, the live event tickets or whatever. [00:51:20] Speaker A: But you're right, Piper. You're. You have. You're smarter for business than I. I am a simple mark. Yeah. [00:51:30] Speaker B: Triple Paul, Book me, Book me. [00:51:32] Speaker A: Triple Paul, Book me to book. Whatever that means. We'll use the lingo. Y'all use the lingo. Call you trips. [00:51:42] Speaker B: Book me, pay me. [00:51:44] Speaker A: Book me, baby. That's why. That's the whole mentality pro wrestling. Book me, pay me. Write that one down. Yeah. Diesel takes a chair to bread to Sean. Yes. Okay. Sean gets carried. Carried out, and he says, I'm gonna kick his seven foot ass. And now I'm imagining someone that is seven of ass. So like maybe 20ft total. Like, they. If they do a lot of squats, you know. God damn it. Where's Hampter? Hampton needs to write this one down. [00:52:17] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's. That's more along the lines. [00:52:20] Speaker A: That's more along the lines. Territory seven. Imagine Hampter, seven foot of ass. So, okay, Diesel comes out to many boobs and thumbs down. He still gets pyro, though, which maybe seems like a waste of money. What are you guys doing? [00:52:37] Speaker B: I. What? He's got some. Some Roseanne theme song sounding music. Like, you. You could have told me that was the entrance music or the theme song for Roseanne, and I would have believed you. They just put a truck horn in the front of it and he came out to it. [00:52:59] Speaker A: Yeah, it was Blues Traveler. It was Jim Johnson. You know, he's a master. Master at his craft. Oh, God. So anyways, we get promo for the superstar line, which is not like, Mean Jean's hotline. It's different. Stop saying it's the same. And. And a second look back at Diesel doing heinous before the match even starts. I'm like, come on. It almost feels like the graphs are an afterthought here. [00:53:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:53:25] Speaker A: Why? Why. Why does this keep. Why do I keep saying, having to say the same? You're making my listeners angry, Vince. What the. [00:53:31] Speaker B: They were doing this almost 30 years ago. [00:53:34] Speaker A: Yeah. God damn it. Barry's getting his ass kicked hard, unfortunately, before he could even get a chance to show up. Amazing getting his ass kicked skills. Paul bearer takes our attention away by rolling a casket out for Big Daddy Cool. [00:53:48] Speaker B: Like him coming down. [00:53:49] Speaker A: Big Daddy Cool. Yeah. So Barry uses the distraction to get a bit offense in, right? He eats the boot. Hulk Hogan himself dates away. And Diesel heads out of the ring to grab a wrench after winning the match. And I think he thinks that he's going to beat the out of taker in a casket. [00:54:11] Speaker B: But little to his surprise, it's Luke. [00:54:15] Speaker A: Skywalker in the cave. That's right. It's Diesel in the casket. And I don't know if it's a mannequin or Glenn Jacobs in Blackbeard Dye a few months early, but it looked, it looked really great. Looked just like. It was creepy. [00:54:30] Speaker B: I my thought is that close up they filmed with him in the casket and then they just have something in there that closely looks. Looks like him. For the, for the wide shots that. [00:54:42] Speaker A: Is got to be the way it was done. That's right. [00:54:45] Speaker B: Otherwise that, that thing is terrifyingly accurate. [00:54:49] Speaker A: Yeah. Someone did a real good job. They had a number. [00:54:51] Speaker B: It was Paul Bearer. [00:54:52] Speaker A: It was Paul Bear. Yeah, Paul Bear. [00:54:54] Speaker B: He's a professional. God damn it. [00:54:56] Speaker A: Yeah, it's in his legit. His. His. Shoot me if you will, but it's creepy. Diesel leaves to chance of rest in peace from the crowd, which is pretty nice. Yeah, that's always good. Then we get our main event Tataka who is with the million dollar man for some versus the Canadian hero, the champ, Brad Hart. Audience shits maple bricks. If Vince and Jerry can shut up long enough, this could be a fun match. [00:55:22] Speaker B: Bad news. [00:55:24] Speaker A: Yeah. To talk. Oh, the bad is it that Tataka's full name is Native American Tataka. [00:55:29] Speaker B: They kept saying it every time time something would happen to him twice before. [00:55:33] Speaker A: The bell rings and another time immediately after. Vince. [00:55:37] Speaker B: Yes. [00:55:37] Speaker A: Which is cuz he'll Tatanka in all black gear. By the way like this is. Oh my God, what a look. I talk a ruled and I hate Vince so much for just being Vince. [00:55:49] Speaker B: Yes. [00:55:49] Speaker A: But yeah a bit. For a bit there my headphones fell out and I with no sound and it was really great. [00:55:56] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like when you catch the live event feeds that don't have any commentary but it just has the match audio and you're just like ah. [00:56:08] Speaker A: Oh this is refreshing. This is really nice. They should do the. Do this more often. So I highly recommend check this match out. Just don't, just don't have the audio on it. Yeah. [00:56:18] Speaker B: Put your favorite record on. Just give it a listen and watch some. Watch some good athleticism. [00:56:23] Speaker A: Yes. The, the really, you know, the essential fundamentals. This is really. So this match is good. If you tune them out. Making vaguely racist remarks about various athletes, wrestlers and then he threatens us with an exclusive music video with Bret Hart. My body is not ready. I don't, I don't want to know what that Looks like. But we're probably going to find out sometime next week. So this match is pretty awesome in and of itself. So of course, of course, here comes 1, 2, 3 kid to help take us away from all this boring wrestling. [00:56:54] Speaker B: Naturally. [00:56:55] Speaker A: God damn it. Jerry takes it to the Heart family a bit. It's old and sad and. And this no longer tickles me the way it did 29 episodes ago. And I'm really. It's one of the first things that is dying after 29 straight episodes of dealing with it is Jerry's hatred of the Heart family used to make me giggle. Now it's just sad. [00:57:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:18] Speaker A: It just needs. [00:57:20] Speaker B: It's just every time and it's. Anytime one of them is mentioned, the entire family gets bombarded by him roasted for like. [00:57:32] Speaker A: Like the rest of the match, basically. [00:57:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:57:34] Speaker A: But yeah. Thankfully it doesn't go on much longer. Brett catches Tataka with a punch in the gut as he went off the top rope. And just like that, the switch is flipped. Brett is getting his in like a goddamn Terminator following calls. [00:57:49] Speaker B: He not a 1, 2, 3 kid has anything to say about it, though. [00:57:53] Speaker A: Well, he gets all the way through, I think the five moves of doom. Follows his protocols with no emotion. He goes for the sharpshooter, which then of course triggers Dibiase and the Kid. Yeah. You know, as it makes sense at the last minute, cutting the wires to distract the ref to try to double team Brett. But he gets out of it like a little. And he rolls up to Taka for the one tooth because he's our hero. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:21] Speaker A: My hero. I'm gonna keep saying here because it makes me giggle because he's thanking us for letting be our hero. But Vince tells us that Brit is kissing the title belt goodbye. But you know what? Vince? He kisses it after every match I've seen. So I think maybe you're just giving the game away Kayfabe, sir. Like, don't you letting us know the WrestleMania 12 ending here. [00:58:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:44] Speaker A: But Brett is having a great celebration. But I see that there's three minutes left in this broadcast, Piper. Just enough time for a bit a sketch, a goof, some satire, some jabs, some jokes. It's billionaire Ted Garrick. [00:59:01] Speaker B: I don't think it was any of those. It was just bad. [00:59:07] Speaker A: And none of these words were Bible, certainly. So as. As they go to it, Ben says like speaking of Federal Trade Commission and evil Lawler gives him a. Huh? Like what the are you talking about, McMahon? It's the federal Turner Commission in D.C. and they are grilling Ted about being a capitalist. This is also. Girl. [00:59:30] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I was, I was watching that. Them reenact. That's. That's from what? A Few Good Men. [00:59:36] Speaker A: He does the full Jack Nicholson. You can't handle the truth. [00:59:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:41] Speaker A: Yeah, but. [00:59:42] Speaker B: Which I was like, wow, this guy is doing an awful Ted Turner impression. [00:59:47] Speaker A: And then he's doing a great Jack Nicholson. [00:59:49] Speaker B: Yeah, he's doing an all right Nicholson. That. Which is what he's going for. And I'm like, well, maybe this isn't all that bad. It was, it was, it was ridiculous. [01:00:02] Speaker A: But here's the thing. It's the. It does go too long. Which of course. Yeah. It's like a lot of. Because when you listen to what he's saying. I hate to say this. [01:00:12] Speaker B: We live in a capitalist society. [01:00:15] Speaker A: He's talking about. Yeah, we're. He's a capitalist billionaire and he destroys lives. And. And again, this is Vince telling on him so himself and the entire system. And again, I hate it. He's not wrong. [01:00:25] Speaker B: No. [01:00:26] Speaker A: Insert Bobby Fish. Where's the lie? Like Billionaire Ted is kind of on some here. But again, this would be amazing if it was self aware. [01:00:36] Speaker B: Yeah. If it wasn't a millionaire parodying a. Parodying a billionaire. [01:00:43] Speaker A: But yeah, self aware is something that Vince will never be. And just holy it. Again, if it was actual satire, it would be amazing. And. But I think it, I think it's like that's how he got away with it again. For so long. It's been like, oh, it was a goof. It's like, no, you weren't kidding, dude. [01:01:02] Speaker B: You didn't read the room here like you. [01:01:05] Speaker A: At all. Yeah, they threatened us with a good time. To be continued. And then they do a PSA about how awful Ted Turner is and that's wrong. [01:01:16] Speaker B: And they write the head of. They tell you to contact the head of the. What, what was it? The ftc? [01:01:22] Speaker A: Yeah. The Federal Trade Commission. Yeah. They're like trying to. [01:01:25] Speaker B: That's incredible. [01:01:27] Speaker A: At this point, he's basically trying to get his followers to brigade Ted Turner. [01:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:33] Speaker A: Is what's going on. He's trying to do a, A, a mass brigad attack before social media. [01:01:39] Speaker B: I was like, mouth agape. What? [01:01:42] Speaker A: I. [01:01:42] Speaker B: When I saw that there at the end, I was like, holy. He did that. [01:01:46] Speaker A: He's been doing this. This is like the third or fourth time he's had that kind of like PSA logo about just straight up saying this. It's so up. [01:01:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:57] Speaker A: I will say like of all of these God awful sketches, this was the best acting job by Billionaire Ted. But it's because he was doing TED Talk. He was doing Jack Nichols. Yeah, but he did a great job. Like, this one actually entertained me a little bit. Like. [01:02:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:15] Speaker A: And again, if it was, if it was on purpose, it would have been, dare I say, based. [01:02:20] Speaker B: But no, no, it's just, It's. It just hits you in the core. [01:02:25] Speaker A: Oh, it's so bad. But thankfully, that means Roz did it. Piper, you have you. [01:02:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:33] Speaker A: You've completed your third. Your third run at this. This gauntlet that I throw at you. [01:02:40] Speaker B: What a week to. To pop back in here. [01:02:43] Speaker A: You really picked a hell of a time to say yes to my. Hey, anyone? Anyone? [01:02:47] Speaker B: Bueller, Anytime. I'm happy to do it. Even when they're as questionable episodes as they were. [01:02:55] Speaker A: Yeah. Holy hell. I mean, there was some cool. But. But we're. This is. I feel like that we're getting to the end of an era, but that era being the new generation era, which sucked. [01:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Yeah. So, like, we're really, truly getting an era. And it's getting weird. I mean, we are What? This was March 18, 1996. We are almost exactly two months away from. So, like, that. That's. People who know what that is. That's, like, when Kevin Nash and Scott hall, like, officially leave the company. [01:03:31] Speaker B: Yep. [01:03:31] Speaker A: And the beach is coming. Bash at the beach is coming, friends. And Benghazi ain't going away. Like, NWA Going away. Like it's for life, brother. Like. And so we're coming up on it. It's really. This is an exciting time to. [01:03:51] Speaker B: It can only go up from here. [01:03:54] Speaker A: Yes. Until it can come crashing. Crashing down, folks. We'll be at this for years. But in the meantime, did you have a favorite match this week, Piper? [01:04:06] Speaker B: I think it, it was short, but the, The Gold dust. The Gold Dust match probably was pretty solid. Yeah. Like, it was, it was short, it was sweet. Is a little bit of silliness, but, like, still just good wrestling in there. There was good wrestling and other stuff, but, like, it just was kind of bland. But I think that's the most enjoyable, short little package of. Of the week. [01:04:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I could see that. I, I, I had to give it to. To the sleeper hit here, Steiner Brothers and Public Enemy. [01:04:40] Speaker B: That's. That's probably number two. [01:04:42] Speaker A: Yeah, that was something else. And I, I could not believe that that's the match we got. And that also kind of leads me to this up in the air of who won this week. I honestly don't know. [01:04:57] Speaker B: Yeah, I do. I have to pick. [01:05:00] Speaker A: I don't have to. I mean, I guess technically I'm supposed to keep track of this. I'm gonna say Raw just because. Why not? [01:05:07] Speaker B: That's kind of where I'm leaning. Just because of how awfully Nitro ended with just the lackluster tornado tag match into the even more lackluster reveal of more Gooners that nobody cares about. [01:05:29] Speaker A: That really. That really killed Nitro for me. And I was just like, I see Zeus. Really? Okay. Wow, what a weird week. So, yeah, Zeus is back. Yeah. President of Earth is here. I can't imagine this lasts long because I don't remember this. So it could not have been a long term. [01:05:49] Speaker B: No, it, it just feels like a, an odd like, yeah, we're doing it too kind of thing that like, it felt like WCW was kind of ahead of, of doing that, but here they are like, no, no, he's Z Gangster. You know what the Z stands for, right Wing. [01:06:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Not wing, not wink. Yeah, yeah, they're trying, they're trying, but I think they, they, they flew too close to the sun already. Like, way to jump a shark 29 episodes in. So I mean we'll see. They'll. They'll re jump it, they'll unjust and they'll re jump it. Then the blood. The wolf packs a thing and a new blood. Yeah, there's so many sharks to jump. There's like this is a. A podcast adventure that's going to jump so many sharks. H. And yeah, sure enough, patrons look out for uncensored coming up and WrestleMania 12, both of which are just going to be wild. And we did it. Is there anything you want to plug or let people know where to find you? Piper? [01:06:52] Speaker B: I think I'm still only over on Blue sky at. At at Positively Piper B Sky Social.
