[00:00:23] Speaker A: Eventually it'll pay. Welcome back to Monday Night Fake Fights, where I, Garrick Taylor, she. They am doing a rewatch of the Monday Night wars and making it your problem.
This week's co host became this week's esteemed victim.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: It's Erica Warren from Wednesday Night Fake Fights. I'm here by myself.
[00:00:44] Speaker A: Yeah, you are. You have a title now. You're not just a horse person. You have a show.
[00:00:49] Speaker B: I have a show. And I gave myself a kayfabe last name.
[00:00:53] Speaker A: Hey. As one does. I wouldn't know jack about that, but yeah. Fan tastic. Welcome. Y' all are. It's all the same feed, so occasionally y' all do better numbers than us. And that. That makes me happy. So none of them are real anyways. I've been told someday there's ways you can find out the actual listening numbers that aren't like the weird aggregation of whatever you're using, which is usually wrong. I'm finding out and I've decided. And unless it. Unless I need to know in order for someone to go, here's money.
I don't wanna know.
There's enough of you for me to keep doing this. So for now, patreon.comffpod money keeps the world go around.
It helps the show.
[00:01:45] Speaker B: It's all about the money.
[00:01:48] Speaker A: Erica wants $40 now, if you all heard. So, yeah, it's going up.
But we are here not to talk about Wednesday Night Fake Fights of the modern nature. My tape is off and we are back into the 90s.
You know what? I'm just roll. I'm not. I'm not even going to ask. Like, y' all mistreat me every week now it's become a thing. I think I'm developing some sort of syndrome.
And you know what? We could dive into that, hopefully with a professional.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Just wave your wrists around, wave your ankles.
The feeling will come back after the duct tape. I know.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: It's been a while.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, God. Oh, God.
Jesus. That's not good, folks. That's terrible. I was gonna say someone used to work at gig spaces. No, that was a joke.
You know all right. Don't you. If that's happening. Don't know. Don't do that.
That's. You shouldn't. Whoever did that tell them no too. No, Too tight. Anyways, I'm not gonna give you the option. I'm gonna say we're gonna go to nitro because I literally just finished watching Ron. I don't want to.
[00:03:07] Speaker B: I was gonna give you the choice because you never get to pick. So you should get the picks. The nitro.
[00:03:11] Speaker A: Oh, it's more fun when I get to be mean about it. Damn it. Everyone's so nice.
That's what happen, right? No. I got Alex Steed in the pod. Ever since, the studio has just been like, everyone's nice, you know, like, there's just this air of niceness.
[00:03:30] Speaker B: Or less 90s wrestling. That's.
[00:03:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And hang out with Alex more. Alex is just nice. He. You'd say, you are good. He is good.
But you know what else is good? Nitro. Being at Disney, it. It pleases me. It's weird.
I can't help but, like, every time they. They open on, like, something with I imagine Mickey Mouse cutting a promo, and. And it just hurts me deep inside comfort. Fat ass.
No, no, no, no. Stop it. He wants. He wants belt.
[00:04:05] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
I think Hogan won't sell.
[00:04:10] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
Former gimmicks, Steamboat Willie, that. That was the gimmick in Smoky Mountain back in the day, I think.
But now he's just going by, yeah, like, the Rock is just the mouse.
Jesus. This. I don't like this brain either, Erica. I'm sorry.
The Blazer Boys, though, they're outside for this residency, and now they're the Polo Boys.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: I mean, Florida weather, it's humid.
[00:04:41] Speaker A: It's not great. Yeah. I don't. I feel for them. Tony and Larry, they're starting to. They start the show at the commentary booth doing what they're going to be doing all week, which is talking about Hogan and what. Who's going to be in the NWO next. Basically.
That's, like, the whole thing.
[00:04:58] Speaker B: They thought they would not stop talking about Hogan. They did the poochie meme.
[00:05:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:03] Speaker B: See how exactly it's not on camera. People should ask, where's Hogan?
[00:05:08] Speaker A: Basically, through the whole. That's like the through line of this whole show. But also, I've noticed that ratings have to be the single most addictive drug in the world because they got a hit, that Hogan reveal, and that was good. And they are already chasing that again by going, well, who's next, y'? All?
Who else is it gonna be? Please, please come back. Please give us just one more.
[00:05:35] Speaker B: It was. It does add intrigue. It does make for, like.
For, like, a show that didn't have a ton going on. It was like a good through line through the whole episode. That was not answered. Not yet.
[00:05:48] Speaker A: No, no, no. And I think if we, like, look behind the scenes, it's probably because they're like, we don't know we like straight up are working that out.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: We're still working on it in progress.
[00:06:00] Speaker A: 1, 2, 3. Kid, I think is out at. At the Fed by now, but I forget what it was. There's some reason he couldn't come over right away. Like a contractual agreement, like a non compete sort of deal. But I think this was before non compete, so I can't remember what it was.
This, this era non competes.
[00:06:22] Speaker B: Yeah. I guess it's been this way for at least, what, since 95? Since Luger. I'm surprised like after luger they didn't immediately just like lock down, but apparently.
[00:06:32] Speaker A: They thought it was a fluke, I guess.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Or they didn't think luger moved too much for him. But.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean all I, I really, I want to throw that down to Vince's hubris, I really think.
Yeah. Yeah. Why. Why would everyone leave? This is, it's perfect. This is am.
We have everything.
Patterson loves it. Don't. Don't shut that door. You know, it's. Yeah. Like, it's awful but like he doesn't understand why anyone will want to leave his, his, this hell that he's created.
And yeah, so he's. We are in the finding out era because there will be a who's next?
And they, they even show us video of the ultimate betrayal because they've already sold the replay and.
And it's grabs time though.
Here comes a pissy looking Scott Norton in like a high energy baby face ice train. And I was like, this is seems on the nose, huh?
And their opponents, the guys from the football team in high school whose girlfriend hated your girlfriend and you're pretty sure is a turf now.
It's the Steiner brothers.
I was just like, where have I seen these before?
[00:07:49] Speaker B: It's Rick's girlfriend is the turf now, right, I assume.
[00:07:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's who's teaching him it. Yeah. He can't have thoughts of his own. He's just a sweet little puppy underneath. He doesn't understand.
Yeah, sure. Hey, there's no bad breeds, just bad owners. Erica and, and Rick Steiner. Yeah, yeah.
But we are starting almost. It's. This seems to be an ongoing thing with the meat match.
They like to get nitro. Likes to give us meat right on the menu right away. Appetizer.
[00:08:22] Speaker B: I ain't mad about it. Give me some steak.
[00:08:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
We're starting off with a fun steak appetizer. And it's just like that.
[00:08:31] Speaker B: This is porterhouse, baby Hoarder house.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: This is.
I'm gonna be so sleepy by the end of this day.
Just so much meat.
Yeah. I don't have much to say about this other than big, meaty men throwing meat.
No notable spots. Many suplexes.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: I had one where Rick dumped Ice Train on his head.
[00:09:02] Speaker A: That belly to belly. Yeah. Yeah. That was about split second from tragedy that I had that on there.
[00:09:09] Speaker B: I'll give Steiner, Steiner and Norton credits because Steiner did. Did a belly to belly to Norton and Norton went up for it, like. And he launched himself for that.
[00:09:18] Speaker A: Yeah. He also had one where he caught Rick. Caught him, like, tried to thing where. Yeah, it was. He caught him on the cross body into, like, the quick power slam.
And it was super impressive because Rick was late.
So you could see how Scott Norton was just did that whole move to his. Like, that whole ass move is to himself.
[00:09:42] Speaker B: Yeah. This was a lot of me being impressed by Scott Norton, but, like, I'm a giant Scott Norton Mark, so.
[00:09:50] Speaker A: Right. I'm coming around, Adam, if only because, like, Rick specifically seemed really off tonight.
I know last week he was high as hell, so I don't know what's going on, but whoa.
Yeah, he was late to. And it was just nuts seeing him, like, just whip his body around basically by himself. They made it work, but it looks sloppy, but still cool. Yeah. The chuckle. Apparently Ice Train, they let us know, has been lacking on his trading.
I wonder what Larry is drinking in his supplement shake because, like, what.
Like, look at that. That's one of the biggest dudes on your roster. That's not Paul White.
Yeah. What the.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Larry was. I was getting progressively drunk through the first hour.
Yeah. And now that, like, now that you said that. Yes. You know what? Yes. That explains some of the other that.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: He says, you know, we'll get to it. But I don't think it was the only one. This match ends with a hell of a German from Ice Train on Ice Train, I should say from Rick for three. I gotta give him that.
[00:10:55] Speaker B: But otherwise he did up that bridge.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah. But Jesus, what a weird, sloppy meat match. It was a sloppy Joe. If this is a meat match, it's a sloppy Joe. A sloppy Rick. In this instance.
[00:11:12] Speaker B: Like, the excessive amount of grease and sauce on the bottom of the pan, it just kind of, like, squirted out.
[00:11:19] Speaker A: Yeah. It's just not happening.
Yeah. No. And now. And now that juice is a landlord as far as see it or skip it at the end here. I literally just wrote, like, I.
If you've seen one Steiner meat match, you've seen this one done.
[00:11:44] Speaker B: Kind of.
[00:11:44] Speaker A: Where I'm at it.
[00:11:45] Speaker B: Had that. It had, like, the. The. The very awkward moment of. Of Ice Train was going to go splash Rick, I guess, but he somehow missed.
[00:11:56] Speaker A: Oh, God. Yeah.
[00:11:57] Speaker B: And like, yeah, the timing of that was very awkward, but he missed the splash and got Scott. Scotty Norton. And that was how he got pinned. Ice Train was not the legal man.
[00:12:09] Speaker A: Yeah, they made point of that, too. Like, he's.
[00:12:12] Speaker B: Like, he's not the legal man. Who the cares?
[00:12:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
Go, go, go. We have to get to the NWO spot so the ratings will shoot.
[00:12:23] Speaker B: Get out of here.
[00:12:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
Having a bad time. Yeah. Oh, no, that comes. That comes at a little bit after, because, like, we go to comer.
[00:12:35] Speaker B: He came out during the match.
[00:12:37] Speaker A: He came out. No, he came out after. He comes out during an exposition corner with Mean Gene, which for first, there's a quick one where Gene's expecting the faces of fear. Instead, he gets a repeat of last week, but without Giant.
He's talking to Jimmy and. And Sullivan, and no one likes that. And more importantly, Fire and Ice argue their way to the back. So, like, there. There's.
There's. They're laying crumbs here. Alexa, I guess, has detached retina problem, Doctor said.
And I'm like, that and a concussion. And I'm telling you right now, the fact that they're like. And he'll be fighting later tonight tells me that's a shoot, brother.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: I just heard that. It was like, okay, yeah, you know, it's 96. You got your belt wrong. That's a little watery. Get out there, buddy.
[00:13:33] Speaker A: I'm seeing double the punch twice. Go. Yeah.
On the way to commercial, though, they did set poor Dean Malenko on fire. And he cuts up.
That's a lackluster promo against Billy Kidman. Woof.
There's more Glacier I'm not even gonna talk about anymore. If we had a guest who had to know what Glacier was, maybe I would. Glacier's coming. He's late. Gosh, I hope it's good. Grab a top. Yeah.
Now we get to Expedition Corner with me and Gene in the back now and, like, in the back back like. Like, by. Like. Like outside in. By, like, the. Like, dumpsters almost. Because it's realizing, like, again, where's the back here? There at Disney, right?
[00:14:19] Speaker B: And this actually does come into play later on.
[00:14:21] Speaker A: It do.
So Gene just kind of watches while Fire and Ice fight about it, and they're like, hey, our tag team sucks. What the.
Teddy Long tries to be reasonable, and Scott, this nerds them just out of here.
[00:14:40] Speaker B: Killed poor Teddy Long. Take took a hell of a bump on that.
[00:14:45] Speaker A: Just killed him with it. Was your face. Your face. My whole hand says your face.
So this leaves one question to me. What's on Ice Trains Breakup Mix. I've seen fire, I've seen rain.
[00:15:00] Speaker B: Cold as ice. I don't know. I don't actually know.
[00:15:03] Speaker A: Willing to sacrifice Teddy Long. Yeah.
Folks, feel free to come up with Ice Trains Breakup Mix. Get it to me, we'll make it happen.
We come back and we get Dean Malenko and just us beating on a small child. This is.
[00:15:27] Speaker B: Billy's. Living up to his name as a kid, man.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: He's a kid, man. First though, Malenko comes out, he's like talking to his enemies in the camera and like Jimmy Hart tried to come up for some reason. I like Jimmy Hart. Yeah. And I literally like grabbed a spray bottle, like notes, notes. And you leave Malinko alone.
[00:15:46] Speaker B: I got my damn notes. Infinite being Jimmy Har is trying to talk to Malenko because like he's kind of established. Yeah. He's like a thought being. He's everywhere. He's all, he's everywhere you don't want him to be. He will always be there. He was. Jimmy Hart is forever.
[00:16:00] Speaker A: He's attached to all of them. He, he's like the, he's the, the thing that connects all of the wrestlers. Face, heel, doesn't matter. You carry a portion of Jimmy art with you that can manifest at any time. And that happened. He was talking like a heel and it's like, oh, you're being a heel. Have a Jimmy Hart, baby. I'm here. You know, like, it's like, no, go away. I don't need you yet.
This match though, holy the. It took me half of the match, but I did finally put my finger on it.
13 year old boy Kidman looks like, looks like Nick Wayne or Nick Wayne looks like Billy Kidman.
[00:16:41] Speaker B: You're right. Yeah, he's got like that kind of narrow face and like that cut, that.
[00:16:46] Speaker A: Haircut in the, yeah. Even, even his gear. He, At a certain point I'm like, you're wrestling like him. Well, this is like, this is true.
[00:16:55] Speaker B: Yeah, no, you're right because he did that little corner. Corner.
[00:16:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Like a little almost acid drop looking thing.
[00:17:02] Speaker A: Yep, yep.
Yeah, I, I said the same thing. I was like, he did that almost like I, I, if he would have done a Wayne's World, I would have been like, that makes sense.
Yeah.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: This is a pretty cool match. I think this might be my favorite Malenko match. I've seen on the rewatch because.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:17:22] Speaker B: And I say that because Malenka just, like, went out there and stomped the. Out of him like he looked like a goddamn killer. There was no Disco Inferno around. There was no. The crowd is indifferent.
It was just like. He just went out and methodically beat a child to death.
[00:17:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it's gonna say it is Maliko. So it's. It's literally like. It's like Travis Bickle, like, walking by middle school and just going, this one.
Power Bomb or Brain Buster into Powerbomb into Texas Cloverleaf.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: This kid, he just died.
Kidman got to do a shooting star press, but he just ate on it.
[00:18:09] Speaker A: Someday you'll get to hit it, buddy. In this Fed. I bet you I. They let you.
I'm pretty sure I saw him do it in the rain once.
[00:18:20] Speaker B: I think I've seen that, too.
[00:18:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I forget who was. Yeah, but Kidman. Kidman will be back. This. This was a fun match. And, yeah, Dean just throws him around kind of like he does with Ray Ray, because he's just. He's just a small child.
The boys in the booth, though, do have a lot going on with this. Tony tells us Lex is still fighting tonight. You don't need an attached retina to throw a p. Get the in there. Get in there. Sweat on that front Rolex.
[00:18:49] Speaker B: Everyone else is in Japan. Get your ass in there.
[00:18:52] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Then we start to find this out. Like, there's no backup because Giant and Macho and Sting and Flair are all in Japan.
So if the NWO strikes, their top guys are, in fact, out.
And. Yeah. Trying to keep that relationship alive with Japan.
It doesn't go well. Sonny Ono sues. That's later.
But I already gave the finish to this one, though. It is, in fact, the Brain Buster into a underhook. Power Bomb into a Cloverleaf. A truly devastating finishing sequence from Dean Malenko.
[00:19:28] Speaker B: Nasty. It's like. Turns out you can power bomb Billy Kidman when he hasn't hit puberty yet.
[00:19:34] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. As soon as he hits puberty, as soon as those balls drop, you can. He's. You never power bomb him again.
[00:19:42] Speaker B: As soon as his voice crashed. Wait, I can do that.
[00:19:46] Speaker A: Wait, you know. Okay. And he unlocks the rada. Yeah. So this is amazing. See it or skip it. Watch this. Only to see Nick Wayne in 1996. It's kind of cool.
[00:19:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it's very impressive.
[00:20:01] Speaker A: Hey, I love it. Exposition Corner time with Mean Gene. This is a weird one. This is going to be a weird through line. Here we get the football player.
Dude. God damn it. Kevin Green.
[00:20:13] Speaker B: Kevin Green with an e.
With an.
[00:20:16] Speaker A: E. I don't even. I never write it down because I don't care. He's here. He's. He's also mad about Hulk because we're asked. We're still asking everyone's opinion. Aren't you pissed that Hulk's a.
Okay. But more importantly. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of us saw coming. Bobby will be on later.
But more importantly, he wants to fight Mago. He has two hours until his plane gets here.
Right. If I thought it was. Holy. Dude, you should be at the airport already. Why are you. And then I remember this is pre 9 11. You could, like, actually still just do that.
[00:20:56] Speaker B: Yeah. You just walk in.
You just go into the terminal with a whole gun sometimes.
[00:21:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Which, you know, I don't know. Kevin Green, maybe. But. Yeah, like, I. That blew my mind. I was like, holy. That's right. You could. It used to be you could go threaten your friend on live television and still make your flight.
Yeah. Wild. But more importantly, grabs. It is Harlem Heat. And they. I guess they got Sister Sherry in the divorce. Thank.
[00:21:31] Speaker B: This is really weird. I don't know what was going on. They're saying Colonel Parker's still managing them, but Sherry was in their corner, and Sherry and Parker were together through most of it.
[00:21:44] Speaker A: There's. They got Sister Sherry. I. I thought they were broken up. My understanding is that they got broke. They broke up because Colonel Rob is a piece of. As we all figured, this plantation.
[00:21:57] Speaker B: Look at that hat.
[00:21:59] Speaker A: Look at that. He's. Hey, Gee. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. He himself in the war games. Yeah. Huh?
[00:22:07] Speaker B: That's true. He did himself.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: That is true. That confirmed. Confirmed.
That guy. Anyways, I think she's just trying to play him. Like, I think that, like, they divorced, and he's like, I. I could get away with all this, blah, blah, blah. And she's just not gonna let you think that. In the meantime, I'm doing wilds, and I'm gonna take care of these boys who are amazing and I love them. And she. Her. And Harlem Heat is just the greatest cobble. She's like this, like, weird, psychotic mothering figure to these, like, two dudes who just want to destroy any tag team you can give them.
[00:22:48] Speaker B: They're so good.
[00:22:49] Speaker A: The crowd ain't mad about it either, are they?
[00:22:52] Speaker B: I was into this. Yeah.
[00:22:53] Speaker A: They're chanting.
[00:22:54] Speaker B: I guess they were in the heat. Yeah, they were into Harlem Heat, I would say. I don't know if they were into Rough and Ready, which is a tag team name. I. I do not like writing.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: It was my nickname while I worked at the Little Caesars on campus.
But, yeah, yeah.
No, Rough and Ready is Mike Enos and Filthy Genital Slater. Colonel Parker is still trying to make Dirty Dick happen, and it ain't happening, but, oh, my God, for seven and a half minutes, they certainly try where. I think we're entering the era of undeniable Harlem Heat, though. They've become baby faces by sheer love of the fans. Like, it's just.
You can't. Like, I know you're racist, but you just can't make the scary inner city black men the heels anymore because they're too good. And people love them because they're human beings and they're charismatic.
[00:23:51] Speaker B: Definitely, as a team, they're really good.
I did notice that. I don't know if Stevie Ray was hurt or not, but he was, like, in the ring once, and then he remained on the apron.
[00:24:03] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:04] Speaker B: I don't know if he was hurt or if he got blown up immediately.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: I don't know. Generally, I feel like if they do something like that, like, I know there has been a lot. I've read a lot of stories of, like, matches where it's like, you go out injured and you just. Yeah, you hug the ring. You're just not in there a lot.
I don't know. Booker T. Was on enough fire for both of them.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: And if he is hurt, they gotta heal him up because goddamn Hogweil is coming, and they have to fight the Steiners to retain their belts.
[00:24:36] Speaker B: Good luck with that. If he wasn't hurt before, he's gonna be hurt.
Especially if Rick's not on.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, my God. Notable spots for this. It was. I wrote here, Harlem Heat are, no imped, no pun intended, on fire. And Rough and Ready are more, like, sloppy and not quite done yet. Still cold in the middle. Like, they're just not. I don't care for them. They're not. Stop trying to make Dick Slater happen. He's not gonna fucking happen.
[00:25:05] Speaker B: He's not gonna happen. But, like, Slater did enough to be. He. He kind of had, like, the sneaky heel veteran stuff going on. And, like.
[00:25:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: The way that they gain control of the match kind of made sense. And it was basically him. And then there's Mike Enos, who I'm pretty sure they just put with Slater because his name sounds like penis. And that could dirty dick. Your dirty dick and penis.
[00:25:32] Speaker A: Penis brothers over here.
Yeah. Give Colonel the penis guys the blowjob Bros, if you will.
[00:25:42] Speaker B: I guess they are blowjack brothers.
[00:25:47] Speaker A: Yeah. What was that thing where they're all blue? Everyone, anytime you walk into any two.
[00:25:53] Speaker B: People together, any two people together of any of any gender pairing has potentially become blowjob brothers.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: Exactly.
This is what I want in my America.
More blowjob brothers of all genders.
[00:26:09] Speaker B: Blood brothers. Screw that blowjob.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: We're gonna need better health care for the nation. But, yeah, this is. At one point, Booker T. Low blows Dick Slater and the crowd cheers him for it. And I'm just like, dude, Disney loves the heat. This. This is so great.
[00:26:29] Speaker B: Or they just really hate Slater. But no, they really, they were really into Harlem Heat. Like, they're, they. Yeah, they've been consistently in main event spots a lot recently.
[00:26:40] Speaker A: Hey, I mean, they're the champs. The, the. That's the reason they're the champions. And, like, while everyone was freaking out about the NWO there, they kept their mind, their eyes on the prize.
[00:26:55] Speaker B: On the prize. Who cares?
[00:26:58] Speaker A: That old racist bastard. I'm getting my gold. Like, yeah, Booker T. Knew.
As far as the finish, Sherry decides she's going to take one for the team and she, she puts her mouth on that dirty Dick. Slater kisses him to distract him, I guess, and probably make Parker jealous. It's A for Tony. Saani says that he is stunned by a lady's kiss. And I was like, me too, Tony. Every time. Yeah, I, I can't help it. I'm very gay.
See? See it or skip it, Erica.
[00:27:33] Speaker B: I, I, yeah, you're fine not watching it. I, My last note on this is like, I don't know what the storyline is.
Yeah, I just, my favorite part of the match was Zabisco had a line about how Arnold Schwarzenegger made Hulk Hogan look like Lawrence Olivier. I was like, yeah, that's true.
[00:27:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:56] Speaker B: And I'm focusing on, we're talking, I'm focusing on them talking about Hogan more.
[00:28:00] Speaker A: Than the match and which is, I think, what they want, which is why they got Dirty Dick Slater on a, on a Monday night.
Yeah, I put if you love. Yeah, if you, I put if you like Harlem Heat and Sherry like I do, then, yes, watch this.
But, you know, Mike and Dick are pretty mediocre. Booker is giving it 110 this whole match.
[00:28:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:28:22] Speaker A: You know, and I can't stress enough how hard Disney is eating it up. So, like, there are several shots during this that are like, I started to kind of fall in love with the set more than the match. Like, these Disney shows are really Kind of cool.
Yeah. The crowd, I. I fell in love with the crowd during this show, this match, more than I cared for the match. Just, I was like, I like the energy these particular Disney families were bringing. Not all Disney families. I mean, this one particularly.
[00:28:54] Speaker B: Sometimes you just gotta, like, put on a show in front of a crowd and just like, here's wrestling. You don't need to explain anything. You don't need to charge your money. Just be like, check this out. And people are just like, yeah. Hey, if Harlem Heater's supposed to be heels, the crowd sure didn't think so. If they had no idea who they were.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: No, they didn't get them.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: Those are the faces. Those are the faces.
[00:29:14] Speaker A: I think that we're. I think that we're gonna have to, like, start paying attention to that. Like, I feel like the guys in the back are gonna have to go like, well, we gave him the belt. And, like, people are, I guess, their faces Now.
On the way out of out to commercial, we get another Rey Mysterio highlight reel. This one has a whole two matches in it.
Good for them. I could watch an hour and a half of just this, though.
[00:29:41] Speaker B: Had to show him beating Malinka for the title, naturally.
[00:29:44] Speaker A: Why wouldn't you?
[00:29:44] Speaker B: It's like, just like. Like. But, like, that's just smart marketing is like, look at this little guy we've got. He's.
[00:29:52] Speaker A: Look. Yeah, he will be all. We will throw him all over the place. And D. Malenka will throw him all over the place. Come watch.
Then we get back to Exposition Corner with Gan, and Kevin Green just starts stripping on the stage because he has a plane to cat.
And I mean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: I feel bad for whoever was on his plan with him. That is already next to a soused Kevin Green. It's like, aren't you the guy from the Carolina Panthers?
[00:30:21] Speaker A: No, I'm looking for Mago.
Then we get a look at the Tower of Terror in the background. I just wanted to put a small side note, that ride, y'.
[00:30:32] Speaker B: All.
[00:30:32] Speaker A: That right. If anyone got to go on that, we. We. My. My family wasn't rich long. We had a single year in the 90s where we were middle class. And you better believe we went to the Disneylands and the Disney World. Well, yeah, I went to the Disney World and I got to ride that thing. And that ride is so cool. I cannot stress enough because, like, you walk through the whole hotel. It's this amazing, like, interactive. It's like you walk onto the set of. Of a Twilight Zone, basically, and, like, you get in this, this car and it's not like this are like elevator and like it actually kind of like moves you around and, and you get really disoriented and the next thing you know you're real high up and then, yeah, you're done. It is great.
Except I, I made the mistake of sitting in between my father, who was a large American, and the lady next to me, who was a large American.
So when they brought in me, who was a medium sized man American, you brought the thing down and it did not like click all the way and there wasn't like a seat belt.
So like when you get, when you take the pic, you know, they like take the pictures of people making the always and you see the picture and there's just me holding on to this bar for dear life with my ass like flying out of the seat.
And like, you could see the workers like, you don't want to buy this, do you? My dad's like, no. And he's like, delete evidence.
So, yeah, don't make that mistake.
[00:32:16] Speaker B: Kids, I've, I've not been able to go to Disney World here, but I've been to Tokyo Disneyland.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: What's Tokyo Disneyland like?
[00:32:25] Speaker B: It's like Disneyland.
I, I've never been to Disneyland either in California, but like, I got to ride Space Mountain and that's it.
[00:32:34] Speaker A: That's really all that matters.
[00:32:35] Speaker B: Yeah, Space Mountain was cool. I mean, not as, I mean, Ric Flair kind of oversells it, but yeah, it's fun. Tower of Tower is not in Tokyo Disneyland. That's in Tokyo Disneyland C, which is next door, but you have to buy a different ticket and it was only there for a day.
[00:32:50] Speaker A: So that's capitalism.
[00:32:54] Speaker B: Capitalism.
[00:32:56] Speaker A: Speaking of Tokyo, check out, check out our transitions. Couple of good ones.
Medusa is fighting Malia Hosaka. And this who's not Japanese.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Well, she's probably Japanese descent, but she's from Hawaii.
[00:33:13] Speaker A: Oh, no. Well, I thought she was wrestling. She was over here from New Japan was my understanding.
[00:33:20] Speaker B: No, no, I did, I did a little bit of journalism because I'd never heard of her before this match. And I was like, oh, where's she from? Because they even said on commentary she was an fmw. I was like, oh, cool. She was an fmw. That's badass. And she's, she just did like American Indies mostly. She did some time in Japan. But yeah, she's just an American who's portrayed as from the quote unquote, Orient.
[00:33:47] Speaker A: So they.
Absolutely, they got me. Oh, my God. God damn it. That's such.
[00:33:57] Speaker B: Her parents. At least one of her parents is most likely Japanese, but still.
[00:34:02] Speaker A: No, I. I thought she was like, like on load from New Japan because they were over. They're talking about the tour. See, that whole thing, they're just like, it. They set it up and they got me, you.
Either way, I have plenty of things to say about this.
Because we get women's wrestling back almost completely. Completely unceremoniously. Like, it's been months.
It's been since the Sherry versus Medusa, like, Vince Russo esque match. That was like a half a match.
Oh, my God. What a waste of Sherry talent.
Wow. Damn it. Now I lost my train of thought because I'm so angry. Both these women got jobber entrances.
[00:34:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:34:47] Speaker A: Like, we just show up and they're just there.
[00:34:52] Speaker B: Like the match itself was good. I liked the match. It was short. It was too short. But I dug the match commentary just pissed me off constantly.
[00:35:04] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:35:06] Speaker B: Into like a whole America versus not America.
[00:35:11] Speaker A: Which again, apparently she's American.
[00:35:16] Speaker B: She was wearing like. She actually did, like, her gear. She had like, the airbrushed Rising sun with the. The shrine gate. That looked kind of cool. It looked airbrushed. It was nice. Neat.
But yeah, Medusa's wrestling Bull Nakano at Hog Wild.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:35:36] Speaker B: They had to get her on TV so that they could talk about it, basically.
[00:35:40] Speaker A: And then you realize, oh, that's. That's why. Okay, cool.
And like, I'm happy to see it and like, I'm happy to find out that Medusa is. Is fighting bull because, like, that's like two of my favorite women wrestlers of the 90s.
[00:35:56] Speaker B: That's some good there. Yeah.
[00:35:58] Speaker A: Right. I put it on my notable spots. No one does hair tosses like Medusa, except for maybe Bull Nakano then doing it to each other.
Whoa.
[00:36:10] Speaker B: They.
It's funny because, like, the idea that people imagine with 90s women wrestling in the US is like the hair stuff.
[00:36:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:20] Speaker B: And like, if you think about, like the attitude era, it gets worse.
It's like there, it's just like all hair pulling. It's like that's the only move. It's a. You pull the hair, you step on the hair. When they're actually wrestling here. Like, these ladies made it look really nasty.
[00:36:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: It's like. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I could. I could totally see that Medusa is just. Just dragging her by her, like, her scalp and throwing her across the ring.
[00:36:48] Speaker A: Medusa's strong as like, Medusa's like, terrifying. Larry says that she's known as Tower of Terror. In Japan, because she's so much taller than the women and I wanted to crush his testicles.
Larry is on one this match.
[00:37:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I think this was where the.
He got into Bobby's. Whatever Bobby leaves up at the booth for himself during the show.
[00:37:13] Speaker A: Yeah. He saw an opportunity to hate women and minorities. And he was like, hold my Ike pro.
Like Hosaka throws out a Boston crab. Larry says, it's. And I was just like, I want to see you take this German, you ass.
[00:37:31] Speaker B: The fact that, like, he just had to throw in, like, ah, you know, women kitchen.
[00:37:36] Speaker A: But yeah, which, which these two.
Oh, yeah, no, these. Oh, God. Yeah.
[00:37:44] Speaker B: But I can, because I'm Larry Zabisco, a living legend.
[00:37:49] Speaker A: Not for long, dude.
Lawler does similar on the other side of this, too.
[00:37:56] Speaker B: Yeah, he does.
[00:37:58] Speaker A: Which I, again, I expected from him. Larry, come on now. You're make. You're making the Gagney territory look bad here, okay?
He's gonna want his 90% this finish. After an insufficient 4 minutes and 7 seconds, in my opinion, Medusa hits a German with a beautiful bridge for free.
And I just wrote down, outside of Hog Wild, we'll see in a few months. Medusa.
Yeah. As far as see it or skip it. See it. See as much women's wrestling from the 90s as you can find. It is all a treasure.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: This was not something I expected to be on the show. And it was great.
I loved it.
[00:38:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:38:44] Speaker B: Medusa with a better bridging German than Known transit, Known transfer. Brick Steiner.
[00:38:50] Speaker A: Yes, yes.
[00:38:52] Speaker B: Made it look beautiful. As opposed to Steiner who just fell over and probably on painkillers or something. I don't know.
[00:38:59] Speaker A: I don't know. Again, check out, check out last week's promo. And, and you can't, like, how did I put it on the show? Like, he ate the entire bag of edibles. Like, like, it's just goofy face the whole time.
[00:39:13] Speaker B: I'm actually a dog now.
[00:39:17] Speaker A: Oh, I, I is worth repeating. I'm sorry if it's repetitive, but it was really funny because he didn't say anything the whole promo. Except when Scott was like, they hit my brother in the head. And he's like, it hurt.
And then we get our two, and all Eric can immediately talk about is, where are they?
That's all he wants to know, where are they?
[00:39:43] Speaker B: That's fair. He did get assaulted last time he was around them.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: It's true.
We come back and I, I don't like Bobby and Apollo. He has more style than that. It felt wrong.
[00:39:55] Speaker B: No. Yeah, he's got A they could have gotten him like a nice windbreaker or something.
[00:40:02] Speaker A: Or if you're gonna put him in a polo, get him like a Dan Flashes number, you know.
[00:40:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like the 90s. Get it.
Whoever made like the Steiner's gear can just make him a polo, I'm sure.
[00:40:13] Speaker A: Spend the big money. Get the, the ridiculous fancy pattern. Make it happen. We're talking two, three grand. This is Bobby Heenan, Bobby Weasel, the Outsiders. They got NWO cheats covering the WCW letters I just wrote down.
Is that.
Is that shoe polish?
They assure you the NWO is open. And yes, that is a clerk's reference. I am so sorry.
What a weird. I kind of dug this. They're like, how.
[00:40:47] Speaker B: This is cool. This is cool.
[00:40:49] Speaker A: This is cool as it was. Like, how can we do vandalism without, you know, upsetting Disney?
So sheets over the WCW and they are just hanging out on the entrance to Disney.
This was for the rest of the show.
[00:41:06] Speaker B: God damn cool. Like they were up there. Like they're just like, where are they? Where are they? All right, they're still there. If we can see them, they're not here.
[00:41:14] Speaker A: Yeah, if we can see him, we're safe. And like. Yeah, Bobby and Eric are like in the high. Hide in the like commentary booth, like high up somewhere.
[00:41:23] Speaker B: Were they on like a cherry picker or something? Because like what, like, why are they so high and why is Bobby freaking out?
[00:41:31] Speaker A: I. I mean they're high up probably for safety.
And Bobby's freaking out because I'm pretty sure he was drinking this show. This is, this was definitely a Bobby drinking show.
Woof.
We get some Grapso Meng and Arn Anderson. And like this was.
I have thoughts on this. First Mang attacks the cameraman while Scrappy do Jimmy Hart does his, you know, thing.
Jimmy Hart stuff. And then which for the first time I tried to write phonetically in my notes and I don't know, we'll see a wa Do.
Wow.
Yeah, you throw. Throw a fuzz on that and you know what up.
This ought to be a barn burner.
The NWO have great seats, drinks over Disney for it. But like this was a decent match between two of the greats. And I was just like.
[00:42:43] Speaker B: Meng just kind of squashed Arn Anderson here. Arn didn't get much offense. He just kind of got his ass.
[00:42:51] Speaker A: Beat for 10 minutes. Yeah, it was like an 11 minute squash in and of Arn Anderson. It was weird. It was slow paced and. And it's just arm taking all of this beating and it felt like filler.
And I mean, good, good. And, I mean, that says a lot about Arn and Meng. You know, that's like all of our big. All of our, like, major storylines are more or less on hold because all of our big, big guys are in Japan.
We. We need 11 minutes, and Mang's gotta look like a monster. Let's do it. You know? And they find a way.
[00:43:30] Speaker B: And there's. There's the. The whole Horsemen versus Dungeon of Doom thing is not really working for me at all.
And then, like, they just kind of toss it out anyway at the end.
[00:43:45] Speaker A: Of the show, it kind of keeps happening. And. And it's. It's sort of a callback to something that's been happening with the nwo. And I kind of like that, that. That it's becoming less about faces and heels and it's more us versus them.
[00:44:02] Speaker B: Right.
[00:44:02] Speaker A: Like, they're. They're really building this feeling of, like, even the guys that hate each other are going, well, these two, though, and Hogan, at least, like, we can all agree this guy.
The boys in the booth are just.
[00:44:15] Speaker B: Everybody hates him.
[00:44:17] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And, like, oh, my God, I love that they just figured out, well, everyone hates you anyways. Why don't we just make that the story?
Just don't.
Don't troll Terry that. But this was an okay match. The entire crowd keeps going back and forth chanting, Razor and Diesel, even. They don't care.
[00:44:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:44:36] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. I think I wrote here. I think Bobby abides tonight. Like, Bobby's slurry during this one. And I was like, I can't blame you, Weasel. This is a. It's just a slow slog of a squash, which is weird. They say they want the giant back because he's our biggest asset, even if he's a heel like that. They're just. Everyone's freaked out still.
[00:45:02] Speaker B: Which, like, fair. They're getting the angle over. But it's. It's. It's very weird. Like, just all of a sudden, I was like, you know who I wish was here?
[00:45:10] Speaker A: Who?
[00:45:10] Speaker B: The Giant. Really?
[00:45:12] Speaker A: Giant? Yeah. Really? That. Like, what? Like, when you got guys go, man, I miss the Gooners. It's like, all right, what is going.
[00:45:20] Speaker B: On here when the Dungeon of Doom is now your default baby face faction? It's just like, things have changed.
[00:45:27] Speaker A: Things are weird. Yeah. And they ask, you know, how many outsiders are there? Again, they want that new. They're chasing that hit of like, yeah, yeah, we want you guys to wonder. And then we'll. We'll give you Somebody and hope to God it's enough. And as far as the finish, Oh.
[00:45:42] Speaker B: I was gonna say, you know, that's also for the boys up north too. It's like, hey, oh, yeah, look what you could. Look what you could be part of. Look how this was.
[00:45:51] Speaker A: Look at this instant heat that we're gonna build.
[00:45:53] Speaker B: Look how much money.
[00:45:54] Speaker A: Yeah, this isn't it. We're saying who's next? And that's going. That was less question, more of an invitation.
Yeah, well, no, who's. Who's next? Who do you. Yeah, look at this built in heat that you're gonna get if you want to come be a heel.
Speaking of heel, the finish. Barbarian gets Arn in the back of the head. He comes out nowhere. Tag team partner, which, I mean, of course Flair's not here. He gets him in the back of the head, sends him into the super kick from Mang for the three.
And like, holy.
Like you squashed Arn Anderson, kids.
[00:46:26] Speaker B: He still needed help.
He beat the out of him.
Arn was not doing good in that match. He was not looking good.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: Not a great day for the enforcer.
It's sometimes it's a rough time to. It's a rough time to be enforcer. Not easy being. Being that. But Jimmy Hart distract. Yeah, you needed Jimmy Hart distracting the ref and Barbarian helping in order to beat hard Anderson on tv and then Jimmy Hart immediately. Yeah, yeah. Did victory dance. Running around. It's like God damn and Sprite. But yeah, this is space filler from Goats, so skip it or see it. I can't believe I'm saying this. Skip it. You've seen this before. Yeah, it's not worth watching.
[00:47:09] Speaker B: I was disappointed. Yeah, I was like, I saw it. I was like, oh, my God. A nine minute Arn Anderson main match.
I was like. I ended up skipping through a bunch of it, honestly.
[00:47:19] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. I was like, I couldn't tell you much what happened. Like, it was just.
That's wild. I never imagine Arne Anderson having like one of the slower, like lower matches of the night for me.
Speaking of heel, though, we come back to more mean Gene Exposition corner. And now that Kevin Green is gone to catch his flight just on time. He stopped to have a Starbucks and three shots and had plenty of time.
Took the gun with him into the plane.
Mango is out with Deborah and more importantly, Pepe.
And he's dressed like a Florida retiree because they're at Disney. I'm into it. It.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: I mean, look, Pepe's enjoying his retirement. He doesn't have to go commentary anymore. So. Yeah, sure.
[00:48:13] Speaker A: Hell, yeah. Pepe gets whatever Pepe wants. I love him, but I miss him.
He's so good. Deborah talks a lot of. None of it's very good. Can we just.
Yeah. She forgot her line so bad that when he tried his damnedest, but Gene broke. Gene glue.
[00:48:33] Speaker B: Everybody was just laughing at the end of it. Even she was.
[00:48:37] Speaker A: Yeah, we just get a little bit of Gene Corpse and like, just like, oh, man. She tried.
She. I. I swear, she gets better. Like I told Alex Steed, she gets better because Alex was. Saw a Deborah promo and was like, what. What happened here?
[00:48:55] Speaker B: What's going on?
[00:48:57] Speaker A: Acting, I believe. So I said. I was like, yeah, no, it gets better. She's. I remember her being pretty good in the Fed. We'll see.
But speaking of pretty good.
[00:49:07] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Even Bobby was like, this is gonna be great.
[00:49:12] Speaker A: Like, all the top guys might be in Japan, but we got Eddie Guerrero here to fight Chris Benoit. So, like, I kind of don't give a. Where's the pun?
[00:49:19] Speaker B: Awkward. No. Let's go.
[00:49:21] Speaker A: Let's Macho who. Yeah, I could give two shits less. The opening move is Benoit telling the referee to check Eddie's knee pads for foreign objects. The ref does it because racial profiling, I'm guessing. And Benoit, noted murderer, attacks him while he's distracted shooting for his I just want to point out narrative.
[00:49:48] Speaker B: He's a good wrestler, but he is a murderer.
[00:49:51] Speaker A: No murderers.
Watch out for Rick Guerrero. Like the family.
Yeah, Christing.
But, yeah, there's simply nothing like a Benoit Eddie match like these two specifically. Everything's intense, everything's laid in. Both are flying high over Disney. Just at one point, I just wrote, cruiser weight power bomb.
[00:50:15] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
Like I wrote in my notes. Oh, my God, Benoit just killed him with that power bomb. And then I was like, why did I type that?
[00:50:25] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, but he did, and he did die first. Yeah.
[00:50:32] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[00:50:34] Speaker A: And now I'm sad. Yeah.
[00:50:38] Speaker B: But it was a really good match.
[00:50:40] Speaker A: That was a very fun match.
[00:50:41] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like the kind of match that you would only expect to see from two guys who are good friends and, like, beating the. Out of one another.
[00:50:50] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. That's why I say there's nothing like it, because they really had that there. You could. There. There's something about best friends fighting each other. They just know how to work together. They got that chemistry. So it's nine and a half minutes of. Of some of the best grabs you'll see in the 90s, but also you know, two guys who aren't here anymore. And one of them always said, the boys in the booth, tell us about Sturgis and the Harley rally coming up for Hog Wild. And this gives us Bobby, my Bobby of the night.
You're gonna see tattoos in places you didn't know they could write.
I was like, you know what? He's not Ross.
I accidentally went to Sturgis one time. We were on a family vacation, and my.
My father booked the. The.
The hotel room, like, way, way out in advance and had no idea what a Sturgis was.
So we get there in. Every other room in our hotel is full of just the nastiest bikers you have ever seen in your life. I matt pool tattoos in places you didn't know they could write.
[00:52:09] Speaker B: The. The 1990s. Mind cannot comprehend all the places.
It's like, oh, goodness, Ted, can you imagine writing a tattoo on your buttock?
[00:52:21] Speaker A: Could you. Could you imagine someone getting their anus tattooed? And I was like, hey, I've seen that movie.
The Sturgis pay per views.
[00:52:31] Speaker B: There's a heart on her breast.
[00:52:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
The Sturgis pay per view. This is Bischoff's baby. He's whatever. The bikery weeb.
Like, he just wants so badly to be a Hell's Angel.
[00:52:48] Speaker B: Bischoff is like. Like, audibly excited talking about this whole thing. He's like, we're gonna ride there.
[00:52:53] Speaker A: From the Mall of America? No, from Minnesota. Yeah.
[00:52:59] Speaker B: All the way there. Bobby, you want to come?
[00:53:01] Speaker A: No, it's gonna be like, 15, 20 of us. Bobby's like, yeah, that. That sounds terrible.
[00:53:06] Speaker B: We're gonna stop and do press tours on the way. It's.
Calm down, Eric. Calm down. Be. Be more excited about your product.
[00:53:16] Speaker A: Yeah, there's some good shit going on here, Eric. Yeah. He does not care.
They do for the finish, though, an Eddie Benoit classic in my mind, where Eddie reverses the power bomb and topples them both out of the ring.
Well, every.
I've watched these two do that spot, like, three times already, and every single time, I just go, like, don't. Please don't do it. You're going to, like, People are gonna die, Eddie. Like, don't do this.
Yeah. And then while Eddie is being looked at by the ref, Dean Malenko, who is now like a cartoonish heel, runs out and puts Benoit's head into the pole, putting him down for the count. Yeah, this.
[00:54:02] Speaker B: This is what Jimmy Hart was trying to talk to him about.
Jimmy Hart is feuding with the Horsemen. Benoit is still a Horseman this is true.
So Dean posts Benoit into the post, and I'm pretty sure Benoit hit that as hard as possible.
It's Benoit. He's like, oh, I can't. Oh, I can't do it halfway. I better make sure I get a concussion.
[00:54:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, exactly. I will simp. I simply must go all the way. And if not, I got to do, like, Hindu squats until I throw up.
So, yeah. Add this to the list of that. That list on. On drop kicked of matches. That probably did it.
So this.
Yeah. Eddie runs in just. And he gets into the ring just in time. Benoit loses. It's a sweaty ending to a fantastic match.
[00:54:54] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:54:55] Speaker A: As far as see it or skip it. If you still watch Benoit matches.
[00:55:00] Speaker B: If you can stand to watch a Benoit match, just.
[00:55:03] Speaker A: I say, yeah, check it out. This is. This is one of the ones. Yeah, this is a really good one. It's him and Eddie. It's him and Eddie, like, right. What? When. When. When you have the opportunity watch Eddie Guerrero, Chris Ben Wad do wrestling.
[00:55:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Just like. Like, I know it's hard to do. I Like, it's very.
[00:55:23] Speaker A: Well, I'm. I. I shouldn't say that. Like, I. I'm not. I'm not gonna. I'm sure people judge me for being able to even do this show, you know, And. And, like, yes, I. Absolutely. Jaded. I will admit that. Like, I am a jaded. Because, like, all of this is terrible. But, like, yeah, I think I talked about it last week too, where I was just like, you know, I. I guess that's just that I'm not gonna be like, man, Ben was like, the greatest, but he's really good at this. And if I don't admit that I'm lying, you know, like. Like, and I'd rather be.
And. And deal with the problematic nuance of.
[00:56:01] Speaker B: That, you know, if the idea is to give people, like, here's thoughts. Watching this from the 90s.
[00:56:08] Speaker A: Yeah. These are my thoughts.
[00:56:10] Speaker B: Watching this is.
[00:56:12] Speaker A: This makes me feel complicated. Yeah, that's. Yeah, I like that.
[00:56:16] Speaker B: That's the feeling that's been the theme of this whole thing. It's like, I have complicated feelings about this because half of these people are dead. More than half of them are terrible people.
There's a bunch of murderers.
[00:56:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:31] Speaker B: Who are potential murderers at any time.
[00:56:34] Speaker A: These.
Jimmy Hart might just.
We might just wake up one day and. And Jerry Lawler is dead, and every Santa Claus in his entire mansion has just been torn apart, and Jimmy Hart is just cackling to himself in the middle of the living room when the cops show up. Like swat.
Yeah. Oh, God, I hope I didn't. None of that was actionable. I don't think I have to believe any of that. All right. That was just a thought experiment. It's a thought experiment. He's a sprite. Speaking of the sprite, he's back again. He's. It's like he never left with Big Bubba Rogers.
He gives it. He gives himself a last name. Everyone is only ever him Big Bubba. He's like Rogers.
I'm adding Roger.
[00:57:24] Speaker B: Big Bobber. Robert Rogers.
[00:57:26] Speaker A: Big Robert Rogers. Big Bobbert Rogerson. Large James Hart, Large Bubs.
He comes out dressed specifically like. Again. Okay, this, folks. I'm sorry. This is the week of me making like ridiculous deep cuts. He's dressed specifically like the character caiaphas from the late 90s filmed vers of Jesus Christ Superstar that aired on PBS.
That is a deep cut. But if you know, you know.
Yeah, yeah. Feel free to Google it. That he dresses like the. The. The bad guys in Jesus Christ Superstar did in that specific version of it. It's an amazing version of it. Rick May. Rick Mayall is the guy who played Drop Dead. Was it Drop Dead Fred? Yeah. He plays King Herod. He's unreal. Like, it's a great. It's a.
Watch it again if you're into that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah. Jesus Christ.
Prove to me that I'm no fool Walk across my swimming, swimming pool yeah.
[00:58:35] Speaker B: Don't we?
[00:58:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Ah, maybe I'll have to cut it, but leave us alone. Rice Weber off.
We're not a couple queers talking about performance art, are we? We like. How are Tim Rice song on the pod?
Oh, yeah. Yeah. This is the premiere, I think of the NWO limo. They starting to show us.
It's gonna come back again and again. Kevin Scott come out, sit on the back, ruining the shocks. And the boys speculate on who is in the back still. It's the whole thing. Luger is, I guess, actually injured and still wrestling. And I gonna say I can assume that's a shoe.
[00:59:22] Speaker B: He did not look injured.
[00:59:24] Speaker A: He didn't look injured.
[00:59:27] Speaker B: Concussion and like a broken retina. He like. He had. No, he, like. I was expecting like, at least like a bandage on his head. No. Nope. Smiling, relaxing, flexing and lexing.
[00:59:39] Speaker A: Yeah. Now as we go. Wow. Isn't that amazing? He had a concussion and he. And he looked fine.
He does live in a wheelchair now.
DDP's got him standing up, which is kind of amazing.
[00:59:53] Speaker B: Speaking of Jesus Christ it's ddp. Apparently.
[00:59:56] Speaker A: It's ddp. It's me. It's me. It's the son of God.
The boys in the booth, though, Bobby at some point says Light Lexus is fighting his guts out.
And I am sure now more than ever that he has been sneaking something into his novelty Disney slushy.
[01:00:14] Speaker B: Like, they keep comparing Lex to Custer, and I was like, what st. He's stupid and dead?
[01:00:23] Speaker A: Yes. Like, so he got rightfully slaughtered. Yeah, okay, sure. He around and found out harder than most white men ever will. Yeah, like, fantastic.
Do it again.
He's. Luger starts making a comeback. At one point, Bischoff says Luger is standing his ground. And I thought, well, yeah, it's Florida.
This match is the. The finish. And I'm sure it will as soon as I. I'm sure, like, become annoying. At this point right now, it's still exciting.
The NWO show up and go, a match, your match.
[01:01:02] Speaker B: I was like, all right, we've seen enough. Oh, yeah. This was for the world Television Championship, too.
[01:01:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:01:08] Speaker B: This is for a title.
[01:01:10] Speaker A: No contest.
[01:01:13] Speaker B: It's fine. This is what everybody's here for anyway.
[01:01:15] Speaker A: Yeah, well, you're Bay City, Florida. Yeah.
This. Hey, your man. They. They come out.
[01:01:22] Speaker B: We have to take this out. Mouse says it's over.
[01:01:26] Speaker A: Mouse says it's over, friends.
So, like, all this is, like, whatever. They lay waste to Lex while Hogan watches all black once again. The designers in the back still haven't come up with, like, the iconic NWO shirts yet.
They. They help Bubba up. Hogan like, makes it look like, hey, you know, we're zero. We're cool. No, I. This guy. Hey.
And I was like, yeah, all right. Clock twice a day. Yeah, that guy, dude, see it or skip it. This match sucked, in my opinion.
But the first end of Nitro Ring takeover by Hogan and the boys is pretty worth seeing if you're into the history of it all. I'll give them.
[01:02:06] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, it's an important thing. And they. They have been hyping up. This is the first time we're going to hear from Hogan.
[01:02:13] Speaker A: Do you say see it, though? Did you enjoy the match overall?
[01:02:16] Speaker B: All right. I would not say see it. I would say I. I probably didn't dislike it as much as you did. It was just for whatever reason, Bubba's offense worked, but it was probably because of Lex's selling. Yeah, because Lex is a very seller, but like, Lex, but Bubba's not like, I don't ever want to watch a big Bubba Rogers match. And we're gonna have to watch a bunch of them still.
We're gonna have to.
[01:02:46] Speaker A: Too much. I. I was gonna say the. The most notable. Under my notable spots for that match, the most notable thing was Bubba's not fighting Tenta. Weird. Like, that's all he's been doing for, like, two and a half months is fighting John Tenta. Maybe they'll finally. Well, maybe they'll finally let him go, you know, shave the rest of his head. That's what I hope is happening. I. I hope that Tanta is. Yeah. Home with his kids shaving all of the hair from his entire head.
And we go home with Gene talking to Hogan, and Hogan just unleashes. He says, new blood, baby. This is new world order. We're here to stay. And mean Gene says, well, somebody think of the children.
And to which Hogan said, those kids. Parents booed me. So them kids.
[01:03:33] Speaker B: I told the kids the right path, and their parents booed me. Those kids.
[01:03:38] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[01:03:38] Speaker B: Like my friend Michael Jordan once said.
[01:03:44] Speaker A: And I was just like, dude, that's. Man, this guy. Like, that's petty.
No wonder he loves this current administration so much. It feels like a Trump move. They booed me. Take all their funding.
Like, yeah.
Gene talks about where Sting and Hogan can stick things.
Hogan tries to say he had a skinny little body brother, but instead he accidentally says boner and just kind of plays through it. But I know what I heard.
Yeah. The people do the right thing and they boo him the whole time while continuing to throw garbage.
[01:04:14] Speaker B: Trash is still thrown.
[01:04:15] Speaker A: Yeah, right. I imagine people wanted to throw at him for years, so this must have been real cathartic.
[01:04:23] Speaker B: You got Disney throwing their cups at you, man.
[01:04:27] Speaker A: Yeah. Holy. You are here.
Just when we think things are done, though, Steiners and Meng again, faces and heels come down to stare down the NWO as we go to black out there as well. Probably they'll just.
That's what I mean. This is the first time they start doing the, like, let's empty the roster out. We'll empty the locker room out to hold these off. This whole show is kind of, like, about telling us what they're planning on doing with the NWO and seeing what the reaction's gonna be, I think, to see if they should.
[01:05:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, they kind of. It was kind of smart because they. They definitely shown that promo from Bash at the beach on TV by this point, but they essentially just did that again to see if they could get the same reaction.
[01:05:15] Speaker A: And they still did. And meanwhile, they're. They're Floating the who's next? And then they'll say that people bite that level. Look at the ratings, like. And like, read the dirt sheets, brother. Like, anyone buy our.
Yeah, exactly. Now they're paying attention.
Now that he's saying it's hot.
Weird. Weird nitro, as you say.
[01:05:39] Speaker B: Not a bad nitro.
Not a good nitro, but not a bad nitro.
[01:05:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. That's a good, good way.
[01:05:46] Speaker B: The. I thought the thing that they kind of figured out, or like they figured out very late, was pointing out was like, here's why nobody's coming to help. The locker rooms are half a mile away.
[01:05:57] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, that thing too.
[01:06:00] Speaker B: So that was why it took them so long to actually get out to help Lex. It doesn't explain why Mango didn't help Arn when Arn was getting triple teamed in his match.
[01:06:09] Speaker A: But, you know, he's too busy hanging out with Pepe. He has priorities.
[01:06:13] Speaker B: Manga's got Pepe and Deborah and his.
His Halberton.
[01:06:18] Speaker A: So, yeah, he's got to do his Halliburton full of, we can assume, macho man's money.
Jesus, what a wild move.
Hey, folks, this might sound a little different than us scared from the future here having some technical difficulties this week at Monday night Fake Fight Studio. We got mics breaking, but hey, new champions, new shows, newish network growing. If y' all want to get in on this, it's easy. You can listen to the shows that are on Ghost coast radio. We got Monday night fake fights. Wednesday night fake fights on the same feed. And of course, the most important election of our lives with Kennedy Cooper and the voters. Ain't that right, Oxy girl?
Support the show financially. This
[email protected] nffpod and of course, rate everywhere. You listen, tell everyone, everyone about the show. It's good for you. It's good for the health doctors that I know say. So speaking of the devil that you know.
Hello.
Yeah, this better be an emergency, otherwise. Yeah, no, I'm supposed to call you girl, so you don't call me.
No, no, I can't come meet the new baby.
But that brings us to RA it's been 84 here.
No, it's been 28 days. We are still in Green Bay after the. The night after the last pay per view.
[01:07:56] Speaker B: They're Burger King guys are still front row.
[01:07:59] Speaker A: Burger King lads are still Burger Kinging.
You know, Shawn Michaels at one point starts talking about gang warfare again.
It's one of his, like, his buzzwords. And I'm just like the Burger gang all. At this point, you say gang warfare. I'm thinking of these. These in the front row, Sean. And speaking of Sean, he's in his best Don Johnson cosplay, shaking hands and kissing babies. The. The hand he shakes, his gorilla monsoons. The baby he kisses. Pitching a fit with Vader. And so it's a weird opener in a weird outfit.
[01:08:37] Speaker B: Yeah. I was like, what is Vader wearing? And that shirt looks really comfy.
[01:08:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he was doing that thing Vader likes to do where he's in all of his ring gear and then like. Like a normal. Like, that's a normal person. And he looks like a bulldog in a sweatshirt. Every time he does it, I'm just like, this isn't right.
But this sweatshirt was like 90s blue with, like, neon green tassel things. It was. It was. It was a look like you had zoomies.
[01:09:05] Speaker B: I can. I can wear it to Gold's Gym and not be gay because it's the 90s.
[01:09:10] Speaker A: Yeah.
Just this one time.
But opening grabs. I see champion Ahmed Johnson of it against Bart Gunn, who's out with Sonny. Naturally, they're doing this. This is like the whole show is that they. They're like, breaking up the tag team to fight Ahmed and Sean to, like, give them a chance to, like, bring the. The other Gold into the tag team.
I guess it's a mat. They're running out. All I do can it got to be run. How many matches did they film at this Green Bay show? They. Because they. They've got to be running out of story to throw together with this footage.
[01:09:50] Speaker B: At least with what I've seen what Ahmed's wrestled twice.
[01:09:54] Speaker A: At least. I'm pretty sure the guns have wrestled twice now. I'm pretty sure HBK has wrestled at least twice.
[01:10:01] Speaker B: Who else was on? Oh, God. I don't want to think about who else was on the show.
Not yet. Not until we have to think about it. Him.
[01:10:08] Speaker A: Yeah, right. It's weird, but the first thing I think of for this match is. Is probably not what you think.
It's how over Ahmed Johnson is. As I see he is. He is like, they even call him the people's champ. And I was like, holy.
They should have let him keep that.
[01:10:25] Speaker B: That didn't quite come across, I guess maybe I was watching a different stream, but, like, it didn't seem like they were suit. Like they were into his entrance and all that. But like. Like, when he's.
When Bart's getting the heat on him, they're very like. We're like, we're sitting on our hands. We're going to wait for Ahmed to do.
[01:10:42] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. But then when he did, they seemed pretty into it. Yeah. But when he came out, they were.
The second thing I noticed is I kind of love Sunny's little cowgirl. I can't help it. It. All the, all the brown, the various shades of brown work. It's a great design.
And the third thing is that we have to change the sign because it's now been zero days since Jerry Lawler has mentioned him. Hillary Clinton.
[01:11:04] Speaker B: Why?
[01:11:05] Speaker A: Why? King?
[01:11:08] Speaker B: My God. I even mentioned. I posted it to Blue Sky. I was like, you know, it's like this just, like, made me remind. Reminded me, like, how bad Jerry Lawler is. And like, how did he get the position of being, like, a commentary legend? Because what the.
What the.
[01:11:25] Speaker A: I, you know, we'll get there. I'm pretty sure it just has to do with the fact that, that, like, Junior was so good that they found chemistry. And I, you know, I, I. Because I remember liking too. And. But again, then again, the whole point of the show, I was a small child with a not fully developed and highly disassociated brain.
[01:11:48] Speaker B: Yes.
[01:11:48] Speaker A: So who the knows? Yeah, like, who the know? For my notable spot section for this match.
Nothing. Like, maybe when he put some balls first on the top rope and then body checks both of them out. That was kind of nuts.
[01:12:01] Speaker B: Like, pretty cool. I liked. There's a. I had a couple things. There was the. Bart was, like, working his arm for, like, the first match. He was like, yeah, yeah. It was like, okay, we're doing psychology. And then when Ahmed starts making his comeback, he's, like, headbutting Bart in the corner because his arm doesn't work.
[01:12:20] Speaker A: Yeah, there you go.
[01:12:22] Speaker B: That's.
I like that.
[01:12:25] Speaker A: That's. That's psychology. I didn't even notice that.
[01:12:28] Speaker B: But then, like, once he actually makes his full comeback, he completely stops selling the army arm. And. Yeah. Cool spine buster.
[01:12:36] Speaker A: It was good while it lasted.
Yeah, solid spine buster.
[01:12:40] Speaker B: The Burger King guys went nuts for the Pearl River Plunge.
[01:12:44] Speaker A: I wrote that, too.
[01:12:45] Speaker B: They were, like, on their feet.
[01:12:48] Speaker A: Like, they, like the Burger Kings have been with us for a month for this finish. Like, they, they speed. And I remember that this. They've been very quiet for a while, but I think that last time Ahmed was out, they cheered really hard for him last time, too. And, like, I think they just really love Ahmed Johnson. These Kings. They. They love them.
The chuckle Sonny early in the match, the handshake and does the, like. Oh, too slow. Too cool move.
[01:13:18] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:13:19] Speaker A: Lawler pops. And in this moment, Vince decides we must destroy Tammy.
Like, that was.
[01:13:25] Speaker B: I have that, too.
[01:13:27] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
Yeah. And, like, my point is proven because six minutes later, he, like, reminds us that she rejected him. I was like, he's still thinking about it.
[01:13:37] Speaker B: She rejected me. She rejected me. That is. That is. That is how an abuser would describe.
[01:13:45] Speaker A: A woman saying no to a handshake. Yeah. I was like this.
[01:13:50] Speaker B: You've rejected me.
[01:13:53] Speaker A: So needless to say, see it or skip it. There is sincerely nothing to see here.
[01:13:58] Speaker B: I wouldn't. Yeah. I wouldn't recommend it. It's not. Yeah, terrible.
Sunny didn't bother me, actually. Like, Sunny not on commentary does not bother me. Like, she's.
[01:14:06] Speaker A: No. I like Sunny when she's not on commentary.
[01:14:10] Speaker B: She's the bratty princess. Like, she's spending the whole time today. Like, I have to.
[01:14:13] Speaker A: And I'm into that.
[01:14:14] Speaker B: That's right.
[01:14:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:14:15] Speaker B: Like, she's got her character.
[01:14:17] Speaker A: Yeah. She's like, we're gonna have IC Gold and tag team go. I'm like, yes, yes, you are.
You're doing so good. Let's go.
[01:14:23] Speaker B: Go.
[01:14:24] Speaker A: We cut to HBK cutting a promo Camp Cornet more of the same.
Again, he mentions gang warfare. Still, he's got his buzz words that he's been hitting all month in Green Bay. I. I imagine he cut all these promos in the same, like, day around that. Like, the Tuesday after or something.
So next up, Mark Merove versus the poop guy, TL Hopper. I was not aware of this, man.
I guess we have to mention that before this gold, gold dust usher comes ringside and had Sable a box. It's a gift of some sort. They don't really go into what it is. I imagine it's an invite to the swingers club in Green Bay, just around the corner from Lambeau.
[01:15:15] Speaker B: Hell yeah.
[01:15:16] Speaker A: Let's go.
Yep. And afterwards, there's a show at the Crunchy Frog. Go check it out. About Mark Mero is wrestling a plumber. This guy, I tried to look him up. He is known in smoking. It's his known better known as is in Smoky Mountain Wrestling as Dirty White boy, which is awesome.
Tony Anthony, I think is his real name. I was like, now you just. Can we just kept dirty white boy and not have.
But we had the wrestling dentist is gone. And now we have a wrestling plumber.
[01:15:50] Speaker B: The dentist let us know.
[01:15:52] Speaker A: Yeah, well, the dentist had drill sounds, remember? Yeah, Yankum had drill sounds for his theme song. The plumber has flushing toilet noises.
[01:16:02] Speaker B: And it sounds like somebody's. The whole time.
[01:16:05] Speaker A: Convince a man, just talk to a professional.
[01:16:08] Speaker B: No, no, because he's got a lot of money and he can do this on tv. And, like, you just know he's coming up with us. Like. All right, let's listen. Listen.
You're gonna be called TL Hopper. The TL stands for toilet and Hopper.
Hopper's a slang for a toilet.
[01:16:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[01:16:30] Speaker B: Can you get your ass crack out for this promo, pal?
[01:16:34] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, my God. The vignette with his crack hanging out. And that leads to the chuckle. Lawler Lawler says that Hopper is a walking anti drug campaign sando to crack. And I was like.
I was like, God damn it, that won't pop me.
That was actually. That was semi funny.
[01:16:54] Speaker B: You Lord.
[01:16:55] Speaker A: He also said something about Waffle House enough so, you know, it's all over tonight.
[01:16:59] Speaker B: Somebody. Somebody was at. Somebody whose wife was from Waffle House.
[01:17:04] Speaker A: Oh, good. Good for them.
[01:17:05] Speaker B: I don't. I don't know. His plunger's name is Betsy.
[01:17:09] Speaker A: Yes, of course it is a plunger with a name. And it's a girl's name. Naturally, as you do. This is.
Can I ask myself, though, can the plumber work? And, you know. Not bad.
[01:17:24] Speaker B: It's a kinda.
[01:17:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a kinda. They try to go back to camp Cornet in the locker room, but they're having sound problems, and they just kind of like play acting as athletes. Like. Yeah, the greatest thing that wrestling has.
[01:17:37] Speaker B: Ever done is given us sound problems.
[01:17:39] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah.
[01:17:40] Speaker B: Through line. Through the entire history of professional wrestling. If you have sound problems on your show, you're doing something right.
[01:17:47] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. Look. Look at you. Aw.
They cut this.
They cut the. Stone Cold. So as not to let us get the impression that this is some sort of wrestling program.
Stone Cold says he's gonna make Marrow pay for what he did to his face.
And I believe he busted his lip open the last time they fought. And it was. It was actually pretty cool.
There's audio problems still that have been bothering Vince this whole time. And they keep threatening him ass but not getting there yet.
And I'm just confused because they've been filming this raw for 28 days now that you think they would have figured it out?
[01:18:22] Speaker B: I don't understand what happened.
[01:18:24] Speaker A: I'm also wondering, though, like, a lot of. A lot of this, like, the. The. The crowd overall had more energy this week than last week. And I can't help but wonder if this was filmed earlier in the night and, like, they switched like, that's what they mean is who knows? Because this is all footage from the same show. Who knows how they chop it together. You know what the.
[01:18:51] Speaker B: It did seem like at parts, the crowd was kind of dead. Like the crowd was not as into this as Johnson.
[01:18:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Not, not. Not it nearly at all. And I can't.
[01:19:02] Speaker B: It's like I don't want to watch Johnny be bad fight a plumber.
[01:19:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Why is this plumber here? Just, you know, they're doing actual like, like gang stuff over on the other channel. You keep saying gang warfare because you can't say NWO and. But like, I think we're just gonna like 28 days in the past. We're just gonna change channel.
Lawler does some woman hating like you do, though. He tries to give Princess D his number over the air. And, uh, I wrote down that, uh, as we all know, she. Instead of doing that and I say go off. Should have been that guy. The finish. As far as this boring match goes, Mel literally end with a onew combo. Just. Just punches him in the face twice.
[01:19:50] Speaker B: For the three rocks him with a haymaker.
It suck. It sucked.
[01:19:56] Speaker A: It sucked. Yeah. See it or skip it. I would never tell my listeners to watch a wrestling plumber complete with pl.
[01:20:03] Speaker B: I love.
[01:20:03] Speaker A: I love you too much.
[01:20:05] Speaker B: Everyone listening. Go find this match. Go watch it. No, don't do it. No. Do it. Do it. Do it.
I dare you. Do it.
[01:20:14] Speaker A: No, you don't have the tape. This isn't Wednesday night fake fights.
[01:20:18] Speaker B: Wait, listen.
[01:20:19] Speaker A: All right, I guess you're allowed to have your own opinion.
[01:20:21] Speaker B: You can't make it everybody else's problem. And tell them not to go watch.
[01:20:27] Speaker A: You make all right.
Defeated with facts and logic magic, we finally get back to cam Cornet and Jimmy does his. We're gonna kill you.
What matters more to me during this is that we got the sound back. So there's just this consistent mid range grumble coming from Vader.
I was like, all right. Yeah, he's just. It's like an idling card.
Vader.
[01:21:01] Speaker B: Vader should just always be compared to heavy machinery. Perfect.
[01:21:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Vader is heavy machinery. Yeah.
After this, we get an Undertaker video package for some reason. And it's just a lot of people getting choke slammed for a while. And then all of a sudden, wait, Mankind.
[01:21:18] Speaker B: I think it. I think it was like a promo for Mankind as well. Because like they made sure like as like, here's mankind doing his piggy squeals.
[01:21:26] Speaker A: Yeah, well, they have a. Well, they have a match coming up, but it's like they didn't. Didn't tell us that right away. So to me it was kind of cool because it's like mankind showing up to haunt him. Even promos, like even in his vignettes, you have this guy showing up and with you and then it kind of like picks up and gets, dare I say, good.
And in case I was imagining gold dust shows up to with both of them. It's like you said, give me a video with all my freaks at one place. You know, Kevin Dunn was like, got it. Can I give it a narrative? Vince is like, got. God damn it, Don. How dare you.
[01:22:02] Speaker B: A story.
[01:22:04] Speaker A: Get the out of here. And Don just kind of let the narrative hang out in next to the video package instead.
So, you know, we'll get there soon enough. It's more dynamic than something we've seen for taker in a while, I guess.
Oh yeah, yeah. And then we come back and Sean, it's. It's just in case this Green Bay crowd wasn't seeing. Sick of seeing the smoking gun Daddy asked himself with. Sonny is going for the world title. Good for him. I say, good for Billy. They show us video of, right?
They show Sean hanging out with a bunch of kids and the kids are pelting him with tennis balls and. Yeah, I was gonna say, you'd think maybe this is a photo op. That was self defense. Good job, kids. Aim higher.
You keep him as far as way as possible.
They come back to this match and Vince decides that things weren't depressing enough. He immediately lets us nephew Fred Dart has died of a rare virus.
[01:23:02] Speaker B: Yeah, and did you look that up? I looked that up. You know what he died of?
[01:23:05] Speaker A: I didn't look that up. Please tell me.
[01:23:08] Speaker B: Flesh eating bacteria.
[01:23:10] Speaker A: What the.
[01:23:12] Speaker B: That's what I.
[01:23:15] Speaker A: What is going on?
[01:23:18] Speaker B: I never heard that. Yeah, that's. This was new information to me. Me, Bret Hart's nephew died of flesh bacteria.
[01:23:26] Speaker A: What? What are they doing at har House? Jesus. Do they wash the mats?
What? Ah, this okay?
[01:23:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that was really up.
[01:23:38] Speaker A: Well, thanks for doing the journalism. I guess.
As far as this match goes, it's for a main event. It's a 14 minute match between Shawn Michaels and Billy Gunn.
Words I never thought I would say out loud.
[01:23:54] Speaker B: It wasn't bad. I guess you could kind of tell Sean liked Billy.
[01:23:59] Speaker A: That's what I wrote down too. You can tell that they have chemistry and they're like, make sure. He's got to be on my team now so he never goes away. I like him. You know, it's it's pretty solid stuff. For my notable spots, I put Sean and Sunny. Make sure there's a spot where Sean clutches. Catches Sonny and kisses her.
[01:24:16] Speaker B: Her. Yes.
[01:24:17] Speaker A: This is, of course, an homage to all the filthy, filthy, filthy heterosexual relations they are actually having.
According to her, not John's. Yes. Okay. Yeah. According to her book. Just. Just constant rantings is what's going on and, you know, good for them. Go. Go off Queen again. I say, there's a second where Billy's getting up and Sean's on the apron. He goes to launch himself with the top rope, and I'm so conditioned that I was like, oh, my. Is he about to hit him with a buckshot lariat? Like, what the. What the. Like, he does the setup. Like, yeah, he just.
[01:24:56] Speaker B: It was. I mean, it was still cool. It was still just like a regular slingshot.
[01:24:59] Speaker A: Like a slingshot clothesline. It was like I was just a regular. Still pretty cool, but, like, my brain was like. Saw him do the setup. I was like, oh, my God, everyone's taking Hanger's moveset. Jesus Christ.
Like, oh, like Vince put. Put back in time. That guy.
And then, yeah, this was as far as the chuckle go.
We. We get Ahmed cutting in a rough promo. And. And I mean, a rough, rough promo.
[01:25:27] Speaker B: It.
[01:25:28] Speaker A: It wasn't great. Lawler tells us he couldn't understand him, which feels racist when Lawler says it.
[01:25:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, he's not allowed. He's not allowed to say that.
[01:25:39] Speaker A: Yeah. You're not allowed to say that. Yeah. Hell, white people saying this. I just feel like it's racist when Lawler says it. Like, just like, it's Lawler.
Lawler says, too, this.
The Olympics have barred athletes from having sex at the Olympics, which is a thing that the news still, like, makes a big deal out of now.
[01:25:58] Speaker B: Apparently it's. Apparently it's just the Canadian team does it.
[01:26:01] Speaker A: Weird.
[01:26:02] Speaker B: I'm almost certain that, like, if they sign the pledge that they're not going to have sex, they're definitely lying because apparently, like, everybody. Everybody at the Olympic, as they should.
[01:26:11] Speaker A: You are all, like, at the top of your physical game for science. You should all be. And, like, letting us know how that went.
There should be. There should be kinesius statisticians, like, you know, sports signs, people strapping you to wires while you bone down. I. I want to see what, you know, what the human body's going to.
[01:26:33] Speaker B: Whatever.
[01:26:33] Speaker A: I'm just saying, you know, if we're gonna be spending all this money on. On creating perfect athletes, they should Vince, however.
Yeah, Canada. Let him bang. Vince, however, his reaction is like silence.
Sex.
What does sex have to do with a world champion?
Like it. Hell, dude.
[01:27:02] Speaker B: He just wanted to say sex. That's what that was. Yeah, Dirty old.
[01:27:08] Speaker A: Like a song. It was so funny too. And I was just. But. And I almost popped me through. Just. Just the sheer ridiculousness of the silence.
Yes, Vince, what does sex have to do with it? And you'll be asking yourself this for so long.
How. More like how. How can sex have something to do?
This Finnish, though, after 14 minutes of. Of a pretty decent solid match, is elbow sweet and music. What are you gonna do? One, two, three. Baby, let's go. Like that's it for my. See it or skip it. We kind of been saying it a little bit. Is the only match on R night that was actually entertaining to me in any way. They have good chemistry.
[01:27:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:27:53] Speaker A: If you're gonna.
[01:27:54] Speaker B: I'd say watch it.
[01:27:55] Speaker A: I'd say watch it. If you're gonna watch one, watch it. It's fun watching these two young guys pre DX feeling themselves out and having a good time, you know?
[01:28:04] Speaker B: Although there were definitely boys in my class in 1996 who had the same haircut Billy Young had in this match, I was like, you want to make fun of how boys looked in the 90s? That's the haircut that.
[01:28:18] Speaker A: That. That's it. Yeah. That's absolutely it. Damn. Final thoughts on Raw for me, the only one I had. Well, a couple. Raw gave me my first sign of the night in months. I haven't even been paying attention to them anymore as much. It's a yellow sign with gold glittery letters reading Cheese dust. Yes, that was mine.
[01:28:42] Speaker B: I have it in all caps. Cheese dust. Shout out.
[01:28:45] Speaker A: Cheese dust.
[01:28:47] Speaker B: Gotta be one of my favorite kinds of dust.
[01:28:50] Speaker A: A Of all the gold dust variations. Cheese dust, Wisconsin. Don't go changing.
[01:28:57] Speaker B: Well done.
[01:28:58] Speaker A: Oh, man. After the bout, though, Cornet baited. Michael's not into ambush. A very not great bait. Terrible bait.
And he, like throws water in his face, causing him to chase him to the parking lot where he before. This is like. They're totally gone.
They're probably three miles down the road. But this is like.
It's a trap.
They attack, but Psycho Sid tries to do a little bit of vehicular manslaughter.
Save their ass. It was amazing.
[01:29:31] Speaker B: We don't know where Psycho Sid is, but he's apparently got there back. And then just the noise. He got the tires squeal bang.
[01:29:42] Speaker A: That was him actually showing up that night. Coming back from the softball court game.
Yeah, that, that's where. Yeah. And now he's back. We got Psycho Sid made the same. And that, that was raw. Quick raw. Weird raw.
They got, they, they desperately need to film another show.
I, I, I think if I see one more raw from this show in Green Bay, I, I might lose my mind.
[01:30:09] Speaker B: They have to be done because the Pay per view is like coming up up is like that whatever weekend that was that like that Sunday Pay per View. So they have to be taping some more. It was not a great raw.
It had better whistling than I was expecting.
[01:30:26] Speaker A: But it really felt like they were like the, the butter stretched too thin over bread.
They're really running out of material they like, what else do we got here? Like. Yeah, it was, it was weird. So I mean, we have international look forward to coming up on the paper. The Patreon for Pay per View and then hope just, just go somewhere else. Those. Give those. Let those Burger King boys go home.
[01:30:52] Speaker B: They've been there three weeks. They're. They're running out of burgers.
[01:30:56] Speaker A: Their parents are missing them. Yeah. Jesus. But holy. We did it.
[01:31:01] Speaker B: We did it.
[01:31:02] Speaker A: We did it. We did it. We. We watched both Nitro and Raw. And there may or may not have supposed to have been a guest this week that I may or may not have fumbled.
They may or may not be back. They may or may not be a good homie and it's fine.
We did this anyways. This is one of the things I'm liking about this is every once in a while you can go it. We're doing it live.
Guest lists. I hope you all still had fun without the guests here.
It's a throwback, if you will.
If you will.
I'm pretty sure we for sure have a guest for next week that y' all know and Corporate synergy. That's all I'll say. Corporate synergy. Is there anything else you want to let people about? Erica?
