WEBVTT

1
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.240
Went a blockbuster for a coliseum pay
renting media watching during spring Gray honky tonks

2
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.679
Man. It just pinned Jake.
When I sat back and thought, damn,

3
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.640
it's in left Gray got a robby
man painted half black. Couldn't sess

4
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.320
of that As opposite, I had
more spack in the jack. Fans would

5
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.800
all screen for the Pokadadri slick for
him, the team the boss manor team

6
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.079
watch us in the back talking to
Jean and I Arrestip in the window,

7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:31.480
creating a fiend looking around. Now
you won't find its hopper. It's like

8
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.359
you found gold while I'm looking for
copper because I'm a sexy boy. But

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:37.960
here's the show stopper. Chairman dug
deep and b back to hopper. W

10
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:52.799
yeah no good wet hop hop up. Sending your request for the hopper.

11
00:00:53.679 --> 00:01:02.359
Maybe the chairman will bless you.
Stop with your own show. Maybe maybe

12
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:15.719
deserved sitting in your mom's craze when
watching fake sports. Don't them and We're

13
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.519
bad. It is in fact the
LAPS Fan Wrestling podcast. It is in

14
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:23.079
fact the TLF Hopper. It is
in fact the very first wc W super

15
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.000
Brawl from May of nineteen ninety one
and boss, it's the return of the

16
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.000
Rising Sun. Whatever that's I don't
even know what that means. Where did

17
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.239
it go? Return from the Rising
Sun? They've been back for several months,

18
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.560
I mean, I guess, but
return of is a very very weird

19
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.040
tagline for this thing. Maybe Dustin
Rhodes is the Rising Sun, just spelled

20
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.079
differently. Brother, that's true,
he could be. Maybe that's what it

21
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.680
is. A nineteenth nineteen returned a
few months before Bayfront Center, Saint Petersburg,

22
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.120
Florida, seventy six thousand at the
gate, about six thousand in attendance,

23
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:57.840
and it is indeed the same building, as they point out to the

24
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.280
broadcast that Dusty Rhodes became n W
A Heavybeight champion for the first time,

25
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:05.760
defeating Harley Race right here in the
Bayfront Center. Wow. Wow, I

26
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:07.599
didn't know that. That's great.
So returned to form from the Akan Dream

27
00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:12.759
who, of course, who was
all over this fucking show. Oh?

28
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:19.879
He makes his presence felt and it
is so crazy, it's uh. It

29
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.960
is proceeded for those who watched it
on pay per view preview by a pre

30
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.520
show with Tony Shavanni against a green
screen and kind of the same event center

31
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.080
that Gordon Soley would do during this
period of time during their syndicated programming,

32
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:38.360
and he keeps calling it does Shavani
the springtime tradition super Brawl Wow, which,

33
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.280
of course, which would never be
oh, it would become the winter

34
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.439
tradition, right their February tradition.
That gives you kind of a sense of

35
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.400
where Dusty Rhodes when he created super
Brawl in nineteen ninety one, saw it

36
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.039
falling on the calendar. Of course, Dusty Rohods a big exponent of traditions

37
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.639
during different points of the year,
be at the Great American Bash in the

38
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.400
summer or some of the other things. The Crockett Cup was the February tradition.

39
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.800
Yeah, Halle and Havoc Daddy very
much. You know, I still

40
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:08.439
I still don't think we can credit
Dusty for Halloween Havoc because it was in

41
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.159
the w W when it started.
Oh good, good point, very good

42
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.479
point. Star Kade, though,
was certainly like a Thanksgiving holiday spectacular.

43
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:21.240
Yes, yes, end of the
year, Caden Starsky to the Stars.

44
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.680
And that's just a curious little note. And some of the pay per view

45
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.800
commercials for this show they called Fujinami
the Japanese Invader, because this is nineteen

46
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:38.280
forty four, and well, I
was gonna say it wasn't wasn't vader in

47
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.400
Japan? Memory onder stand no?
But Jose Gonzalez, I guess, I

48
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.159
guess, I guess instead of the
Japanese Invader, he would be the vader

49
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:51.280
in in Japan. It would be
different. Well, as long as he's

50
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.840
not the bruiser, brody invader,
I think we'll be safe. And here

51
00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:58.759
is just a little glimpse of one
of the ways w W played the hype

52
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:01.599
for this thing in terms of framing
it up, even including some rare commentary

53
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.680
from Tatsumi Fujinami, the challenger in
the main event. At least what you

54
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.560
could manage in English? What just
happened? I don't know what the English

55
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.680
I'd be the healing all three comments? One, how do we not?

56
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.319
Why are you taking it by minutes? All right? Put it on me

57
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:24.040
this Sunday. It's not put off
for one more moment. You will walk

58
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:30.759
got off super Bowl, the biggest
place for you, and this street,

59
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:39.079
this sport, the world title,
Ah go on Japans, climate, quick

60
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:45.759
work climate it put it on me
this Sunday. Can you walk that Ale

61
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.040
Foo biggest in the history of the
sport? Boss? You got that?

62
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:56.360
I got it. I do love
how Flair says uh Sunday sentence s U

63
00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.680
N d E E Sunday. It's
one way of putting it. I guess

64
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.839
Fujinami isn't the only one in that
promo piece with a little difficulty with English.

65
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:12.439
Well you know what, Dusty also
has that problem as well. They

66
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.399
taped yeah, no shit, they
come one, come all. Yeah,

67
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.600
they have a w W main event, a previous special that they taped to

68
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.160
air on the main event time slot
on TBS the day of this show.

69
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.360
But of course, this being Jim
Hurd's World Championship Wrestling Come Show Day,

70
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:30.199
uh, TBS opted instead to show
golf instead of this thing, promoting a

71
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.480
pay per view that they would share
in the profits of these Turner Home Entertainment.

72
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:39.839
So that's fine. Whatever we can
do to destroy ww yep, but

73
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.079
what can we do? What?
Queen? Need to fuck these guys over?

74
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.839
But I don't care. I don't
care if these Let me tell you

75
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.560
something, Okay, I need we
need to do this behind Ted's back,

76
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.439
all right. Ted cannot know about
this. He is very supportive of these

77
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:55.240
fucking idiots. I don't know why, but what we gotta do. We're

78
00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.199
gonna find some way. I don't
care if these fucking guys make are Can

79
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.560
more money than anything else for this
fucking company. The bottom line is I'm

80
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:08.439
not having that shit on Television's exactly
right, all right, I'm not dealing

81
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.720
with that fucking fake shit. So
whatever we can do to fucking make them

82
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.879
burn, all right, we gotta
do it. Let's take their fucking show.

83
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:19.240
They got a pay per view or
something that night, whatever they fucking

84
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.480
call it some kind of special show. Take off their fucking regular show.

85
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:29.920
They don't need more airtime. I
want to destroy these motherfuckers. Sounds about

86
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:34.319
right. Ten take about ten years
to get it done. And there was

87
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:41.839
an after number one of the ratings. I want to fuck them. Who

88
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:46.800
exactly is this talking? No fucking
idea Turner exact number one? Okay,

89
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.839
I was if that was your Ted
Turner or not, that's all. No,

90
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:53.480
no Turner. They don't want to
just say dude, behind Turner's back,

91
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.759
Turner's back, yea, okay,
this is I don't want Turner to

92
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.519
know. This is Dick Cheatham.
There you go. Cheating. Indeed.

93
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
So there's a dark match in Saint
Petersburg where the Mighty Thor defeated L Cubano,

94
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:12.399
also defeating El Cubano that night Dusty
Rhodes out in Ebor City. From

95
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:19.360
what I understand, right, oh
shit, Oh it's so stupid. I

96
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:23.560
wasn't I don't know. I wasn't
expecting that at all. It's so stupid.

97
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.600
But here it comes to the super
brawl music. Hang, hang,

98
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.240
hang, and they get the Japanese
flag of the USA flag, and you

99
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:31.920
got gu Guanti and Simmons and all
these moving images we have. We have

100
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.680
a virtual collage of imagery to get
us started here and just so, just

101
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.720
so we make sure I wanted everyone
to be aware of this super Brawl is

102
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.639
available in stereo where available. Right, Well, see I was wondering if

103
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.319
it was. If it was in
stereo, we're not available. That didn't

104
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.199
say he was questionable. So I'm
glad they fix. They at least were

105
00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.639
addressed that early. Yes, yes, before I got, you know,

106
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:57.480
the chance to get really disappointed and
then the can I ask you a question,

107
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.480
Well, we get this in stereo
where it's not available. It's like

108
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:07.839
a local cable system in Charleston,
West Virginia. I don't Well, if

109
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.360
it's not available, it's not available. So uh no, I don't think.

110
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.839
Well, I'll tell you what I
think. You guys better make sure

111
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.920
you say that, because I just, you know, I'm not sure.

112
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.000
I get a funny feeling that some
of the people around here, even though

113
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.639
we don't do stereo, I think
they might get in stereo and it might

114
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:37.120
be a little confusing. So so
she doesn't even have a stereo system and

115
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:46.080
she talk about someone looking for something
to be upset about. I just want

116
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.000
to listen. We don't have no
stereo, all right, So if it

117
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.120
comes in stereo, am I going
to be able to hear it? Right?

118
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.960
Exactly? Because if this is deed
is a market where available, how

119
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.399
am I to interpret that? And
I mean, so, am I gonna

120
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.559
have no sound? Or is it
gonna be some Is it gonna be in

121
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:13.240
Japanese? Like? What are we
talking about here? It's nothing, you

122
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.120
know, presented in it's no original
format. Is it always presented in its

123
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:26.240
most complete format possible? I don't
have h sterio because I don't support the

124
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:33.879
Japanese. Oh shit, I'm not
buying stereos and you know there's manufacturers of

125
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.639
stereos besides Sony, right, No, no, no, there isn't They

126
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.600
make you think that. But I'll
tell you I know every single one made

127
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:48.360
in Japan. Yep. So I'm
not dealing with that. I'm gonna go

128
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:52.000
just regular sund not that stereo crap. Right, Fuck that, Fuck that

129
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:56.720
technological advance. I'm gonna call it
for you. What I'm gonna rely on

130
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.080
God's sound. Let me guess what
comes with with stereo sound is implanted chips

131
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:05.600
capable of listening in in my living
room conversations. That's what I've been told.

132
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.320
You know, you come here and
you tell me that there's options outside

133
00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.919
of Sony for a stereo system.
Would you have me buy my stereo,

134
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.799
sir, from the Democratic Republic of
the Congo. I mean, I'm gonna

135
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:22.399
I'm gonna tell you right now,
I walked in on a meeting between the

136
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:26.200
Russians and the Japanese. Oh shit, time to put this one on mute

137
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.000
happening. I'm gonna start filing your
nails until she hangs up. And let

138
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:35.600
me tell you it happened right here
in my town. I was there.

139
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.399
I went into the bookstore, and
there they were Russians and Japanese and they

140
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:46.679
were talking about destroying us. What
are you worried a moment ago that it

141
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:52.600
might come in Japanese? How did
you understand this conversation? Oh honey,

142
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.840
I speak Russian. Please let me
tell you. I don't have to speak

143
00:10:54.919 --> 00:11:01.879
in a language to know about destruction. What about the construction, because I'll

144
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:05.000
tell you I had a couple of
courses on that. I felt like it

145
00:11:05.080 --> 00:11:07.559
was different. What I do know
a lot about deconstruction because I have red

146
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:13.720
barth. I just fed my husband
to deconstructed cheeseburger this evening. You thought

147
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.679
I believe there was no bread?
Thank you. I know all about post

148
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.399
mdernity. Do don't you think you're
gonna get that shit over my hand?

149
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:35.600
I'm postmodels? Fuck? Okay,
chat gpt assume a seventy four year old

150
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:43.879
woman in Charleston, West Virginia is
postmodel. A spot that's for some up,

151
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.320
that's for a rainy day. Oh
good. So, needless to say,

152
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.720
the arena peers behind with the w
W tilted logo we talked about in

153
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.840
part one at the Apron and that
that's what we need in a lot of

154
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:56.480
ways. I'm with you in that, except for the fact that it looks

155
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.360
like a mistake. Yeah, how
about the SuperBrawl logo for the first time,

156
00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:03.759
that must have been a trip.
Yeah, you know, thinking about

157
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.120
that, they kept that logo the
whole time, right, for the most

158
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.159
part, Maybe not for the last
one, but besides that, right,

159
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.240
they kept that logo. I think
so. Yeah, with two exception of

160
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.360
two thousand and two thousand and one, I think one of them. Yeah,

161
00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.600
that's amazing. I think after they
introduced the new WCW logo that's steel

162
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.159
Gray one in April nineteen ninety nine, I think at that point they changed

163
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.879
all of their pay per view logos
actually eight, you know, I don't

164
00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.720
think Starkade was though. I think
Starkade was the same for another year.

165
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.600
I think they only change it in
two thousand. Amazing, I think you're

166
00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:39.840
right about that. We see,
so there's some pop gun piro as Gary

167
00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:43.200
Michael Copeta, who's going to be
a ring announcer for the evening Ladies and

168
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.720
Gentlemen welcome the national recording Artist.
Brandy Brown is going to sing the national

169
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.000
anthem. I honestly don't have any
idea who this is. I did I

170
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.519
try to look her up. I
was like, who is this? Because

171
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.399
I always love when they have these
quote unquote NRAs, these national Recording artists

172
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.519
who they bring in. I'm always
like, who the fuck is this there

173
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.279
is? So I couldn't find anything
directly about her. The only lead I

174
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:16.879
got one lead that she maybe this
woman named Brandy Brown Pendleton who was on

175
00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:20.799
the Mickey But this is where it
gets kind of weird. So she has

176
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.200
a lot of the things that kind
of qualify her for this because she was

177
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:28.519
part of the Mickey Mouse Club and
she was an understudy in the original Broadway

178
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:37.159
cast of Ley Miss. But but
and here's the huge butt she if that

179
00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:39.480
is the same person, then the
woman we see is a fifteen year old

180
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.200
and that's not a fifteen year old. I don't think no, I don't

181
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:50.720
think so. So, but that's
the only Brandy Brown, like any kind

182
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:56.600
of connection I could get along and
hard huh pictures to resemble her at all?

183
00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:00.279
It that's the thing. It does
a little bit. It looks a

184
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.360
little bit like her, you know, because a lot of them are now

185
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.480
like it's more current stuff, and
it does look like it could be her.

186
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.840
But again, I mean, you
know, she could be a Hollywood

187
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.799
of fifteen. You know where they're
fifteen, but it looked like they're forty

188
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.720
five. Yeah right, you know, because they you know. But I

189
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:22.480
was like, fifteen just doesn't seem
eighteen. I could buy more. I

190
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.440
could buy eighteen, but fifteen was
just a little. But again, she

191
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.840
also doesn't sing very well, so
she could be that kind of nervous fifteen.

192
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.120
Yeah. I want to hear her
repeat herself. I guess here,

193
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:54.519
oh be fool four spececious guys,
four boot waves of gray, four perble

194
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:24.000
mounts, manchesty above food, black
homecka Homericka, godshap He's graydy and crime

195
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:46.679
than with the brother see two shiney
See that's rough. It's rough, rough,

196
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.799
brother. I don't know. I
don't want to be harsh on her,

197
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.559
but it didn't strike me. It
was good, No, it was

198
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:56.399
not. It was bad. She's
in baggy ass hammer pants too. In

199
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.000
case you forgot, this was nineteen
ninety one man with the US flag behind

200
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:04.440
her. They did dress up the
set very nicely for the national anthem.

201
00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:08.120
I will give them that. Sure, Sure you heard the distortion on the

202
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:14.840
master there? Yes, I love
that. More distortion, please JR.

203
00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.279
Welcomes us in this. Around the
same time, JR had taken on the

204
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.159
new radio show WSBAM seven fifty in
Atlanta, where he had a slew of

205
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.159
guests on and he I think it's
been making some of these video files available

206
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.759
on his ad free shows platform these
days, so he would have you know.

207
00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.720
It's all kfave conversations for the most
part. But I do think this

208
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.720
is the radio show that eventually where's
that Radio WWF right now? No Radio

209
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:41.919
WWF is where Randy Savage went on
after Jim came over and basically in ported

210
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.840
the concept and ripped on Hogan after
Hogan left. That's right, right,

211
00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.519
So if Jim Ross is in the
chair, we better be ready for a

212
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:53.080
steady diet of Steiner lines. And
I'm looking forward to Steiner lines and football

213
00:16:53.120 --> 00:17:03.680
references and whatnot. Here this is
uh Dusty Dusty, his his his co

214
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:11.519
host, his color color man.
I suppose he breaks down Flare and Fujinami,

215
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:17.000
but I couldn't quite fully understand it
here. Fujinami Flair match up even

216
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:19.599
least five Wait, they've been in
restling about the same number of years.

217
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:25.960
Fujinami the controversy to Japan, say
I am the chapin flap brought the title

218
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.799
back. We're gonna find out the
night. Who is the wealth heavyweight restling

219
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:32.920
Davin right here, that's super Bowl. Let's get out and win it.

220
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.599
Dat it? Okay? Did did
he break down flav versus Fujinami or did

221
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:47.759
he just break downs? Looking talking, he said he's frucually brought the controversy

222
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.480
to Japan. But I don't think
so. I don't think so at all.

223
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.079
I'm pretty sure if I read the
Japanese magazines at the time, in

224
00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:59.880
the newspapers correctly, it was your
ass and Barry Wyndham that brought the controversy

225
00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:03.279
band by leaving with the bell that
insisting the finish wasn't legitimate. Also,

226
00:18:03.359 --> 00:18:08.599
he definitely said super Bowl, he
said brawl, he said the ball,

227
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.640
you know. Getting ramped up for
the Funk series, and Funk says that

228
00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:17.279
when he first met Dusty, like, you know, because Dusty first started

229
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:18.920
by going to the matches in Narmurilla
before he was even a wrestler, you

230
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.519
could not understand a word like.
He really improved the degree to which he

231
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:30.240
was intelligible in terms of speech,
which is hilarious given that he's completely unintelligible

232
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:34.240
most of the time. Well,
he's got a bolo tie on the baseball

233
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:40.519
cap. So, and what the
fuck are you saying, Betty? I'm

234
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.119
what I'm family here. I'm talking
about where by going, talking about where

235
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.880
we're band, talking about going up, going down, everywhere in between.

236
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:48.720
Daddy, I'm talking about brand Contraverty, going to going to fifth Carolina.

237
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.000
I'm taking it up to Portland,
Oregon. Betty, do you know what

238
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:53.640
I'm saying? You know what I'm
talking about? Daddy? Did you say

239
00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:59.599
you? Did? She say I'm
talking about? So? What the fuck

240
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:03.440
are you talking about? So?
I can't understand a damn word you're saying?

241
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.000
Did you bring me? The boss
has been in the lab. Boss

242
00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:12.680
has been working on it a lot
to look forward to, folks. That's

243
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:17.720
all I can tell you. Oh
man, you sound goofier than a pet

244
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:21.559
coon. Son. I don't understand
the first thing you're saying to me right

245
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:26.640
now. And I've heard some sense
in my day. I just sat on

246
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:33.559
a sasquatching. You're stranger than that. You just what He didn't say he

247
00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:45.799
has sat in a sassquatch, he
says, He just I just I just

248
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:52.880
said in a sas squatching. You're
stranger than that, as if as if

249
00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:00.319
you have to sit on it to
know how strange it is. These true,

250
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:07.519
they're not self evident. One must
ship amazing. I mean, I

251
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.759
don't know who want me to say, but just that's what we expect.

252
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.759
So this is this is where they
make the you know, make the observation

253
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:23.839
that this is in fact, the
you know, the building where Dusty won

254
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:30.839
the World Championship. They make that
clear and he I guess you could say

255
00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:36.119
kind of reminiscence for a minute about
it, and uh and yeah. So

256
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:40.160
the scene is set and Dusty is
ready to contribute as only he can.

257
00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.440
Now. We talked a little bit
in part one about how when Dusty first

258
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:47.519
returned to WCW from WWF at the
Clash of the Champions at the beginning of

259
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:49.960
nineteen ninety one, he had a
hot mike and as you'll hear here in

260
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:52.599
the beginning, you hear this,
right boss. For some reason, WCW

261
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.400
love to pipe the ringside announcers for
the stand ups into the live arena so

262
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:02.559
everybody in the Bayfront Center can hear
what they're saying in terms of walk in

263
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:06.039
and I don't I don't know why
they did that. I guess it served

264
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:08.000
to maybe pump up the crowd.
I've never heard that at an event I've

265
00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.839
personally gone to, so I don't
know if it works or not. I've

266
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:14.680
never heard it, but I have
heard them, like I've heard ww e'd

267
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:18.960
do it on pay per views and
stuff like that. Not not anytime recently,

268
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.720
but back in the day they used
to do it. You know.

269
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.400
I guess that they're trying to get
something across though everyone can hear. I

270
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:27.480
don't know, but it is.
It is kind of strange to hear to

271
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:32.640
that that reverb, and they often
had, and Chiovanni's pointed this out on

272
00:21:32.680 --> 00:21:36.799
his podcast. A ton of difficulty
making sure that the microphones guys would grab

273
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.960
on live television worked for the PA
system and were piped out to television later.

274
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.680
When Paully dangerously hits the ring and
starts the danger Zone, he had

275
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:51.240
Oh man, he needs it takes
him like four tries. Oh how rough

276
00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:55.839
is that before the mic is working
on both channels. So what Dusty doesn't

277
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:57.160
do is what he did in that
first show back where he basically cut a

278
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:00.079
big promo for the live crowd,
which is going to be better than end

279
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:03.440
of the actual full time wrestlers on
Roster's baby face promo. But that's neither

280
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.559
here nor there. Here he doesn't
really go in a full promo mode for

281
00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.759
the people in the Bayfront center.
But he did manage to sneak in a

282
00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:15.559
big old dusty last minute cell job
on the w W syndicated television heading into

283
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:18.400
SuperBrawl ninety one. This is a
message he wanted to deliver to the pay

284
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.880
per view buying public head of SuperBrawl. And even though he doesn't have a

285
00:22:21.960 --> 00:22:23.319
match, of course, the sun
Dustin is in action, and he references

286
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.839
that Dusty still can't help. But
but but but figure, as far as

287
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.720
I can tell, that ain't no
way a pay per view selling without a

288
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.000
touch of the Dream on the go
home. Yeah, this Dusty Routevia,

289
00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.799
Mac and Dream. We gonna talk
about super Brawl, man, I wanted

290
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:41.759
day living in color. I've been
asked to kind of talk about a couple

291
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:47.039
of the big matches because this is
the biggest pay per view written into history

292
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:49.880
of rented to add the world.
I mean, we're talking about like Amogen

293
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:56.000
time at super Brawl, what's of
all were talking about food? Juannamn come

294
00:22:56.079 --> 00:23:00.759
all away from Japan, cleaned and
public. If you wheel that he's successively

295
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:06.839
defeated Rick Flair, the World Everyweight
Champion w c W Live in It color,

296
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.720
The nature Boy. Rick Flair is
gunning down now because on his home

297
00:23:11.000 --> 00:23:15.079
tip, lie baby, he got
to prove to the world that he's the

298
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:17.640
best. So if I'm gonna make
a choice, let me think for a

299
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:23.400
minute. Who didn't take long Nature
Boy Rick Flair by a land slide.

300
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.960
And then the match that has created
the more controversy throughout the world, the

301
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.559
World Tag team title. The Steiner's
mean and don't I'm talking about ugly,

302
00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:41.759
and we're talking about the cool packets
Lex Luga and the sensational Stinger. Well,

303
00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:44.960
baby, when they lay this one
out, it's gonna be in the

304
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.039
world. The Model Garden, Sola, a bomb burner, a bomb burner,

305
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.400
a super brow. And when it's
all over, I got to pick

306
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:53.559
a winner. Let me think,
now, just for a minute, this

307
00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:59.599
might take just a little bit longer. Oh yes, I got it,

308
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:03.160
but I ain't gonna take because that
makes me babe. But I think the

309
00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:07.559
Steiners might have no I think Steve
might have the edge, just a look

310
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.960
I think Luga might have. Any
Way, it's gonna be b it's gonna

311
00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.880
be big, and my son,
Dustin Rose, I tell you he is

312
00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:19.480
the spitting image of the American Drea
Terry Taylor. You better be gunning because

313
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:23.440
I'm gonna be at ringside doing some
color commentators, be talking my jaws and

314
00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:26.079
flapping. If he lets him in
down, I'm taking him out to the

315
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:33.039
bone and boot him in the butt
right before super brawl. Okay, if

316
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.880
he lets you down, you're before
super brawl, You're gonna boot him in

317
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:45.240
the butt. Like, yes,
I guess. How do you know he's

318
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.079
let you down until super Brawl is
actually underway and he wrestles. I feel

319
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:56.680
like Dusty knows these things he's doing. Let down. Yes, I don't

320
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.440
know. Actually I don't know.
He could be, but he also could

321
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:04.279
just be fucking you know, he
just his his brain. I've never understood

322
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:11.119
when it comes to to promo work
because it's just so it's so out there

323
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.359
and there's no rhyme or reason to
it. I mean, it's amazing how

324
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:19.279
how he's able to make sense of
some shit sometimes, you know, obviously,

325
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:25.039
like pay your wages. You know
that fucking somehow makes sense in the

326
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:30.319
moment, but not not if he's
not selling. Maybe he's not selling a

327
00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.400
match. He didn't make any sense
right when he's not kind of speaking to

328
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.359
how what what he's going to personally
do in the match, it kind of

329
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.039
really sucks. It's like, yeah, yeah, it's it's kind of it's

330
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:44.839
very distracting. He sounds like a
what he called Ric Flair one time,

331
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:47.880
a flim flam man. He sounds
like some guy you know, standing in

332
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:51.599
the corner selling a defective product,
you know, and trying to like just

333
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:56.559
basically, you know, fluff his
way around making this sound interesting by hoping

334
00:25:56.559 --> 00:25:59.799
you'll fall in love with his personality
and thus be more inclined to by whatever

335
00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:02.759
he's selling, even if he isn't
hitting any good selling points, because he

336
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.359
doesn't say a goddamn thing about a
single match that makes me understand or identify

337
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.160
what it is that's intriguing about it. No, it's fucking crazy. It's

338
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:15.799
very bizarre. Lady rendered some clear
predictions there as well. So Dusty des

339
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:18.359
say, we're talking about the World
Heavyweight title here on the pay per view

340
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.880
broadcast itself, that of course that
promo there from television. We are talking

341
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:26.720
who is the best Fujanami flair evenly
sized weight, same experience Fujinami, he

342
00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.240
says, took the controversy to Japan, says I am the champ, and

343
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:33.440
we're going to find out tonight who
is the world's heavyweight champion at super Ball

344
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:38.279
just as you play it right there, let's get with it. Jr.

345
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.960
Tuck's in a very desperate You can
talk to Lex Luger and Sting on the

346
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:45.160
Wrestling Hotline, by the way,
so that they're waste any time getting that

347
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.160
out there. But they don't even
list the number, or if they did,

348
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:52.680
it's edited out of the version I
saw. I know where you know

349
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.799
they don't. I guess that maybe
they assume you know the number. I

350
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.680
guess I don't know. Get out
your latest issue. Get out the most

351
00:26:57.680 --> 00:27:03.640
recent issue of WWMAS YEP. So
you can see some empty red seats in

352
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:08.039
the distance in the stand up portion
when Jr. And Dusty or ring side,

353
00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.759
but not not really in terms of
like the shots they cut to the

354
00:27:11.799 --> 00:27:15.079
most, so it looks like a
probably like an eight thousand seat building and

355
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.119
six thousand was the reported attendants.
Makes it makes some sense. So we

356
00:27:19.160 --> 00:27:22.640
start with, as they say,
some special tag team action to decide the

357
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:26.079
US Tag Team champions. This match
happening because the Steiners won the World Tag

358
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.079
Belts and they were US Tag champs. Can't hold both straps as to one

359
00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:33.559
set, and of course they're going
to relinquish the lesser of the two.

360
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.680
So the US Tag titles him the
line. And what if they had them,

361
00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:41.480
what if they had them booked to
get rid of the world tag team

362
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.160
title? Oh my god, what
they said? No, you know what,

363
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.920
to get rid of those ones.
That's like the the Feast or Fire

364
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:52.200
briefcases in TNA where the X Division
champ would get the opportunity to wrestle for

365
00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.200
the world title at Destination Next every
year as long as they wouldlinquish the ex

366
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.119
title, and they acted every year
like agonizing decision for the X Division champ.

367
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:02.640
Of course they always picked the world
title shot as far as I can

368
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:04.359
recollect. But yeah, I mean, why would you not, I know,

369
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.599
insane. So there it is primitive
graphics taking up the screen, just

370
00:28:11.640 --> 00:28:17.359
you know, freeze frames and kind
of like standard boring times New Roman typeface

371
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:18.799
for the names of the wrestlers.
But I don't know, still kind of

372
00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.640
does it for me? Yeah,
I'm with it. I like it.

373
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:29.440
I don't. I don't. There's
the production wise, outside of the the

374
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:33.599
tilted logo on the stage, there's
nothing wrong with this show production wise.

375
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.799
I love it. I love it
all. How about I think it's great?

376
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:41.039
You even love the Chairman of the
Board of the Diamond Exchange. Here

377
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:42.440
comes DDP leading the free birds to
the ring. I mean, just a

378
00:28:42.480 --> 00:28:47.839
collection of your favorites here. I
couldn't. I wanted to just fucking throw

379
00:28:47.920 --> 00:28:52.960
up. I mean introducing first fuck
making his way toward the ring, Chairman

380
00:28:53.160 --> 00:29:00.160
of the Board of that Diamond Exchange
by to Diaman Dallas all I'll take off,

381
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:07.079
and ladies and gentlemen, he represents
from back Street USA, and at

382
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:25.319
last Church Hook the greatest working rolls
all time. The pabulous wait free and

383
00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:37.799
they're accompanied by their road boss.
We're an opener, all right. So

384
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.400
we talked about it in part one. We read from the books and stuff

385
00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:44.480
from DDP and Dusty. DDP wanted
to do this thing where instead of holding

386
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.400
a microphone, he would have the
little headset in his ear like a ted

387
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.119
talk thing. But the problem is, whenever they put those things on people's

388
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:55.640
ears. They could never tell the
people with those in their ear when they

389
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:57.519
were live and when they weren't.
We heard the same thing later in the

390
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:00.599
broadcast, where Kevin Sullivan is the
wizard about to lead Oz to the ring,

391
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:03.960
just says something to the effect of, you know, tell me when

392
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:08.720
and it Yep, the whole pun
hears it. We'll hear that, that's

393
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:15.960
for sure, you will hear that. That whole That whole fucking thing is

394
00:30:15.079 --> 00:30:18.759
just like it's it's kind of funny. And as I was recording the sound

395
00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:22.359
bites, I was like, why
did I separate these all? Like I

396
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.640
separated them like I in my right
and my notes, I'd separated each one

397
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.680
and its separate. I'm like,
dude, the whole fucking thing. You

398
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:33.440
could just have the whole thing.
It's just a category of mess ups.

399
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.359
Yeah, And so you hear Dallas, they're basically directing traffic, trying to

400
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:41.359
part the curtain and actually walk out
before the people with no idea that he's

401
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.880
live with a hot mic. And
that's exactly the problem where he drops an

402
00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.119
F bomb later in the broadcast and
gets reprimanded for it. Is as we

403
00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.880
talked about, so I don't know. You said you gave thumbs up to

404
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.039
the production. I guess from a
look standard. Well not. Yeah,

405
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:56.920
I shouldn't say. I shouldn't because
you know, I consider this to be

406
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:00.319
part of like the like I and
where I don't consider this be part of

407
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.720
the production. I consider this to
beet just part of the whatever. But

408
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:07.359
yeah, you know you're right.
Everything else this is not good. The

409
00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.000
sound department in terms of the in
ring talent not good, not good at

410
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:15.640
all. For DDP says, they're
picked up on the camera, I'll take

411
00:31:15.720 --> 00:31:18.480
off. There's a big burst of
flames, and you can tell Gary Michael

412
00:31:18.480 --> 00:31:22.880
COPETI can hear them because he's like
pausing and ddp's going wait, wait,

413
00:31:22.920 --> 00:31:26.559
wait, wait wait in Copetta thinks
he's talking to him, and then nothing

414
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.079
happens, so he just resumes with
the ring introductions because apparently DDP was talking

415
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.880
to somebody else. Big Daddy Dink, of course, is Sir Oliver Humper

416
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.440
Dink when I Dusty's Buddies from Florida. So there you go. And God,

417
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.440
what a fucking pervert he is.
He enhances every territory he goes to.

418
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:47.079
From what I'm told, I've heard
The only thing that actually enhances is

419
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:49.880
his belly. It is brought into
WWF because they didn't think Bigelow could talk,

420
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:53.960
and he and Humperdink could talk.
Here they bring him in and DDP

421
00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.319
does more than his share of the
talking, and Humperdink doesn't say a word,

422
00:31:59.359 --> 00:32:00.279
let a love. Yeah, Michael
Hay is one of the great promos

423
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.960
of the eighties right there. Hummerding
is just one of the worst things to

424
00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:08.880
ever happen professional wrestling. So there, he is the greatest disgrace. God

425
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:14.640
knows what kind of shit is in
his is in his fucking facial hair.

426
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:21.759
So haven't gotten this far without addressing
Jimmy jib Oh. Thoughts on Garvin,

427
00:32:21.839 --> 00:32:25.200
thoughts on him on this show?
Is he just I don't know, just

428
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:30.960
presents as he presents Strawberry jam Garvin
is just the fucking drizzling shits. He

429
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:35.480
pisses you off on this show.
He pisses me off just by existing.

430
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.759
I don't understand what the problem is. I mean, the guys. He

431
00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:42.680
couldn't be a more solid performer.
Great look, great charisma, great mike

432
00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.880
skills yep, yeah, all those
things. Yep. Yeah, he's great.

433
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.359
He's a fucking just a I mean, I want, you know,

434
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:55.319
I want to. It's it's so
funny. It's very hard because I do

435
00:32:55.519 --> 00:33:04.480
appreciate the contributions that a guy like
Jimmy Garvin and Michael Hayes made to the

436
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:10.440
business, and I want to I
want to like them on a and respect

437
00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:15.640
them on a you know, in
that way, but I can't because they

438
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:21.400
just look and sound and act the
way that they do. And that's h

439
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:25.119
And it's kind of a wonderful thing
that TLF hasn't let that part of wrestling

440
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:30.480
fandom die within us under the guys
being you know, like hyper analytical and

441
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:35.440
sort of like you know, detached
from those considerations when address when sort of

442
00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.200
assessing what's great about a wrestler or
wrestling, it's like, yep, because

443
00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:42.839
I think a lot of people think
they can be objective about that, but

444
00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:45.119
really it's the look on people's face, like punk, you know, like

445
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:49.559
you can you can delineate every little
thing he's done, and you can litigate

446
00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:54.119
every moment where he's been the aggressor
or he's been the victimizer or whatever you

447
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:58.559
want, but really it's the look
on his face that you can't stand.

448
00:33:59.279 --> 00:34:01.000
Yes, and it's the same thing
with the young Bucks. People can't stand

449
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:05.759
the look on Matt Jackson's face in
particular. Yes, and the rest of

450
00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:08.800
the case against them all stems from
that, or at least it's like a

451
00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:15.880
part of it that people act like
they can not acknowledge, and just like

452
00:34:15.039 --> 00:34:17.480
I don't think they even realize it, per se. I think a lot

453
00:34:17.519 --> 00:34:21.599
of it isn't. You don't realize. You just don't like how they look.

454
00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:24.280
And that's wrestling, or you're afraid
to admit it. You know,

455
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:29.280
it's one or the other. I
mean, but no, these four men

456
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.360
coming down, I just despise them
by the way they look right and the

457
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:37.199
way they are as just human beings
and that and that's the spirit that you

458
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:40.440
know, had people in the Sportatorium
through most of the eighties wanting to lynch

459
00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:44.039
these guys. It was a look
on their face, the way they carry

460
00:34:44.079 --> 00:34:46.679
themselves. And you know, so
we find ourselves in a similar posture to

461
00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:52.079
those those Dallas Faithful and those four
worth faithful. Interestingly enough, by nineteen

462
00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:54.639
ninety one, they had been around
long enough doing the same stick well that

463
00:34:54.760 --> 00:34:59.559
fans were basically cheering them and begging
Michael has to hit the DDT every time,

464
00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:01.920
but it took a long time.
And uh, and that's you know,

465
00:35:02.079 --> 00:35:06.960
that's the thing. Like a great
promoter can see a great heel in

466
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.599
the look on a guy's face.
They can tell before there, before even

467
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:14.840
before that wrestler is before a respectable
crowd and you start to hear the booze,

468
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.800
you can see the look and say, Okay, this guy is going

469
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:21.639
to be a heel because you know, I have the constitution of the general

470
00:35:21.760 --> 00:35:23.760
fan sort of downloaded in my brain
and when I look at this guy,

471
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:28.559
I think, oh my god,
this guy's face needs to get fucking smushed

472
00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.960
in, you know. Yep.
And that's that, and that absolutely,

473
00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:37.920
it's really it's rarely more complicated than
that, because everybody in the business is

474
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.039
pretty much equally paranoid and whack and
full of shit and passive aggressive and you

475
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.760
know, fake tough and all that. So it's the look on people's face.

476
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:50.400
Okay, folks, yep, yep, that's what it all comes down

477
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:52.719
to. And if that look reminds
you of people you've dealt with in your

478
00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:55.639
life who have pissed you off,
or it reminds you of people you've dealt

479
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:59.639
with in your life who have been
rather pleasant to deal with. Ye,

480
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:04.039
yes, so bad Street Atlanta Ga. Here they come with big Daddy Dank.

481
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.920
It's nasty and hot. Can say
that again, I would like your

482
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:14.199
opinion. Boss on DDP in his
apparent love affair with Good God. Every

483
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:19.800
time he says that, I seriously
consider never doing this podcast again, never

484
00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:24.519
never watching another minute of professional wrestling
for as long as I live. DDP

485
00:36:24.679 --> 00:36:30.840
is one of the most complex cases
of love and hate that I've ever had

486
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:35.960
in professional wrestling. This DDP.
I mean, he's polishing like is the

487
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:40.559
baby face ninety five six? Forget
it. I can't stand in a weird

488
00:36:40.639 --> 00:36:45.079
way like pre Hogan DDP. Right, I can't stand it. I can't

489
00:36:45.119 --> 00:36:49.159
stand the way he talks. I
can't stand the way he looks. I

490
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.519
can't see the way he looks.
Now. I appreciate the amount of good

491
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:55.719
shit that he's done for people,
yes, and I can't not, you

492
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.639
know, But at the same time, he didn't shut the fuck up,

493
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.840
and he said that a stupid,
fucking annoying voice. That's stupid, fucking

494
00:37:04.719 --> 00:37:13.599
you know Cragley face of his Good
God. I mean, stop like you

495
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:19.280
already said that like four times in
the same promo. It's not that good

496
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:24.000
of a catchphrase. It's not like
what or yeah, or it's it stopped?

497
00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:29.159
Like why do you keep saying that
it? Plus, it's just everyone

498
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:31.400
knows you're from the Jersey Shore,
Like why are you acting like a fast

499
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:36.239
talking ali from Louisville, Kentucky or
like a southern you know what I mean?

500
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:39.239
Fast? No, it's not the
voice you want to lean into,

501
00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:43.239
dude, it's just not And if
some somehow he got that memo in his

502
00:37:43.280 --> 00:37:45.800
early managerial career in the AWA and
the early WCW that he should sound like

503
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:52.480
a jive talker. No, dude, you're fucking you're you're a New Jersey

504
00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:57.119
uh used car salesman. That's right, that's what you are. Literally,

505
00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:00.760
this is true. You're a New
Jersey nightclub owners. You know what I

506
00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:04.519
mean. You're a guy who like
kind of had to grease a few poems

507
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:07.239
to get a liquor license. That's
who you are, right, right,

508
00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:12.880
right? The guy who who who's
wait staff kind of straddles the line between

509
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.280
sex worker and h bartender. You
know, yep, it's not hard.

510
00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:22.719
You're you're not opposed to lending out
your office for a hooker to to,

511
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:28.880
you know, turn a trick.
That's just the reality of it all.

512
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:31.360
Hey, Okay, looking a wish. I was thinking. I was thinking

513
00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:37.400
about, you know, anytime I
see fucking fucking humperdink. Yeah, all

514
00:38:37.719 --> 00:38:46.199
you know, he just doesn't look
okay, he just looks He just looks

515
00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:54.000
off and you know how it always
goes here, So I'm gonna go there.

516
00:38:54.760 --> 00:39:01.480
I just imagine him after super brawl
at the Whole Tell with a prostitute,

517
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:06.320
and he's he's just like, you
know, I imagine he's got like,

518
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:08.320
you know, he's got his pants
on, but he's got almost like

519
00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:15.960
like U lu Albano with like an
open button down Hawaiian shirt. And I

520
00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:23.360
just imagine heavy breathing, sure,
like just really really unhealthy heavy breathing breathing,

521
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:31.800
and just tons of sweat with like
beads of sweat gathering and being created

522
00:39:31.880 --> 00:39:36.679
on his chest, on his exposed
chest hair. Yep, because like little

523
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:38.679
beads of sweat and the and the
woman hadn't even done anything yet. She's

524
00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:42.679
like touched his thighs. Oh,
that's where that's where I got you.

525
00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:45.679
I was thinking when you said breeder, I thought Sir Oliver Humperdink was a

526
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.880
gay man. I don't know if
you knew that was he really, I

527
00:39:47.960 --> 00:39:52.079
did not know that. Yes,
wow, all right, so the gentleman

528
00:39:52.119 --> 00:39:58.119
then, absolutely, the gentleman just
fucking touching his thigh and he's just not

529
00:39:58.239 --> 00:40:01.559
even doing anything, and he's fucking
gut just not the only fight that night,

530
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:05.719
Humperdink. Let me tell you,
well, yeah, yeah, the

531
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:09.519
guy's touching, touching his thigh,
and and in his other hand he's got

532
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:14.400
a he has a fucking chicken thigh
that he's chopping down on his well,

533
00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.599
so he's got a mix of grease
and and sweat on his chest hair.

534
00:40:20.079 --> 00:40:22.519
Here's funk funk on Oliver. I
loved Oliver, but he was one goofy

535
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:29.880
bastard. He had a sign in
the back of the old van that he

536
00:40:29.960 --> 00:40:32.519
drove which said, onward through the
fog. I don't know that any phrase

537
00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:37.480
could have fit someone any better than
onward through the fog. Fit Oliver Humperdink.

538
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:40.679
One night in Tampa he went through
the fog and to stop sign and

539
00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:46.920
a dead end barricade and the side
of some family's house. I think that

540
00:40:47.039 --> 00:40:52.800
was a foggy night, yet the
weather was clear, nasty and hot.

541
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:55.760
Indeed, good God, it doesn't
get any better than this, And I'm

542
00:40:55.800 --> 00:40:59.159
thinking, well, that's not good. If it doesn't get any better than

543
00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:02.480
this, we're in for a night. Yeah. Wow. Apparently one of

544
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:07.480
the women the DDP led to the
ring was actually Michael Hayes's a recent wife,

545
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:09.599
having just had a wedding around this
point in time. This is as

546
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:13.880
pointed out by Tony Chivannion on his
podcast about this event. I don't know

547
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.840
which of the three it is,
but she's at he did he wear?

548
00:41:17.000 --> 00:41:21.920
Do we know if if Michael Hayes
wore a fanny pack to his own wedding?

549
00:41:22.199 --> 00:41:23.760
Actually, I don't know that.
That's a great question. Yeah,

550
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:27.880
I think the faith Yeah, I
think at the Hayes fanny pack more in

551
00:41:27.960 --> 00:41:32.360
that like post wrestler, Like I'm
office so I'm wearing like a pimp suit

552
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:37.320
kind of era than a wrestling era. But perhaps he did wear the fanny

553
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:38.280
pack on the road. Now I
can see it wearing. I can see

554
00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:42.400
this. Michael Hayes definitely wearing a
tuxedo at his wedding, But like you

555
00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:45.159
know, yeah, by the end
of the I think on top of it.

556
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:46.079
I think he's wearing a fanny pack
on top of it. It's very

557
00:41:46.119 --> 00:41:49.840
possible, you know, just like
he did in that fucking pimp out of

558
00:41:49.880 --> 00:41:53.360
It. Idiot, a fucking moron
looking live and in color. The super

559
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:57.679
Brawl. I hear at super Brawl, the future US Tag Team Champions,

560
00:41:57.719 --> 00:42:01.199
Good dah, the blue back in
yellow strands and the light blue canvas,

561
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:04.760
the logo we need on the apron. We've talked about all that, Yes,

562
00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:08.039
yes, and then guns go off
from Wyoming. That's right, Wyoming,

563
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:14.760
no town in particular, Cody,
Stephen, Tracy, the Young Pistols

564
00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:19.480
to challenge the birds here for the
US Tag Times. There is nothing more

565
00:42:20.440 --> 00:42:23.800
nineteen ninety one WCW for me than
the fucking Young Pistols. Oh, I

566
00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:30.719
know, a particular point in time, it's like, you know, whenever

567
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:35.920
we do whenever we do a show
from this like ninety two, maybe late

568
00:42:36.079 --> 00:42:38.000
ninety w CW era, it's like, up, yeah, of course they're

569
00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:45.039
the fucking Young Pistols. They're always
there so annoying, wearing their fucking diarrhea

570
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:52.519
brown trunks, and they're equal like
shoulder length mullets that they have. Oh,

571
00:42:53.559 --> 00:42:59.159
Dusty says It's gonna be funky here, baby. Now, all right,

572
00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:01.760
you might remember these guys is the
Wild Eyed Southern Boys, not the

573
00:43:01.840 --> 00:43:06.960
Pistols. They were renamed the Pistols
and Tracy Smothers in his book, which

574
00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:12.000
is a terrific tone and I encouraged
folks to check it out. Published posthumously,

575
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:15.559
I think I think he had passed
before this actually got recalls the following

576
00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:19.960
In early nineteen ninety one, Steve
and I had to change our tag team

577
00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:22.440
name. It's, of course,
Tracy and Steve Armstrong the tag team.

578
00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:25.559
The Wild Eyed Southern Boys had the
Confederate gimmick and it had served as well

579
00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:29.519
as baby faces in the smaller territory
days. But when TBS got involved with

580
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:31.519
their national broadcast on cable, they
wanted us to lose the Confederate flag.

581
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:35.719
This was around the time of the
Rod and King incident. It certainly was.

582
00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:38.840
In fact, Shani tells a story
about not even being able to wander

583
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:46.000
wander the Atlanta Metroplex freely because of
all of the racial unrest the week before

584
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:51.199
this show, as when Roden King
happened out in La Wow. So that

585
00:43:51.320 --> 00:43:54.039
was very much the animating force and
focus of the folks in the CNN Center

586
00:43:54.119 --> 00:43:58.119
around the time of Super Bowl.
He remembered that immediately, So, yeah,

587
00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:00.039
the Rodney King incident. So the
TV network began pressuring Dusty Rhodes to

588
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:04.119
change our image. Dusty brought us
in to let us know the DBS wanted

589
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:07.480
us to explain the situation. Steve
and I never played the Confederate thing as

590
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:08.840
a racist gimmick, but after hearing
what Dusty had to say, we were

591
00:44:08.880 --> 00:44:12.519
okay making the change. Dusty came
up with the idea of calling us the

592
00:44:12.559 --> 00:44:15.000
Young Pistols, a pair of cowboys
from Wyoming, and that's who we became.

593
00:44:15.760 --> 00:44:17.840
We got new robes and hats to
go with the new name. At

594
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:21.599
Super Brawl one in Saint Petersburg,
Florida, Steve and I had a title

595
00:44:21.639 --> 00:44:23.559
match against the Free Birds for the
Vacantact Team Championships. We were sitting down

596
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:25.679
to the back going over the match
when all of a sudden, a wooden

597
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:31.239
board fell out of the ceiling and
hit me right in the head. So

598
00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:34.599
things are going well so far,
I think, is the take up as

599
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:37.480
yep. I was in a bad
spot. I was not goofy and I

600
00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:38.599
had ten minutes to recover and get
to the ring. I was wondering how

601
00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:40.760
the world I would get through all
the spots we had planned for the match.

602
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:44.239
There was a lot to get through
that night in Saint Pete, Michael

603
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:45.880
aai's Jimmy Garvin had been teasing a
new third member to the free Birds,

604
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.840
a masked man named Aracnaman, later
changed a Bad Street. Now the mass

605
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.280
man was named Fantasia. Actually,
yeah, no, Arachneman would come later

606
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:57.360
in the year. Correct. Another
jib heard, fucking how do we appeal

607
00:44:57.400 --> 00:45:01.079
to kids? Brainstorm later changed to
bad Street. He mentions to Whitney copyright

608
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:05.719
issue with Spider Man. That's just
why would a Racknaman be in the free

609
00:45:05.760 --> 00:45:07.519
Birds? Tracy? I know,
I mean, I understand it all.

610
00:45:07.519 --> 00:45:10.920
It doesn't matter, it's it's but
still, come on, it all sucks.

611
00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:14.920
During the match, Brad Armstrong came
out to cousin interference in our behalf

612
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:16.119
and to try to help us beat
the free Birds. Then after Brad left,

613
00:45:16.159 --> 00:45:20.119
a Racknaman appeared. He means Fantasia
to help the free Birds, so

614
00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.480
he played both roles in the same
night, in the same ring. Did

615
00:45:22.519 --> 00:45:27.079
Brad Armstrong? How bizarre? It's
so weird. There's never revealed on television,

616
00:45:27.079 --> 00:45:29.639
but Brad Armstrong and Bad Street were
one and the same. Brad was

617
00:45:29.679 --> 00:45:32.599
the third mysterious member of the Free
Birds. Later at Clash June of ninety

618
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:36.760
one in Knoxville, Steve Armstrong and
I teamed up with Tom Zinc to open

619
00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:42.559
the show against the Birds and this
new Bad Street Brad Armstrong and then he

620
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:45.239
talks about it. This is a
weird. Aside, Jimmy and Michael both

621
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:46.239
grew great minds with the business.
Steve and I learned a lot. Okay,

622
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:50.920
yes, yes, yes, Salton
Peppa, the female rap group smothers

623
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:52.639
right, So well, I know
why he thought. I know why he's

624
00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:54.880
thinking a rat man because it's it's
still Brad Armstrong. Oh no, I

625
00:45:54.960 --> 00:46:00.239
understand why he's thinking that, but
I mean not remember Fantasia. Oh yeah,

626
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:07.960
as being the guy that yeah,
as the predecessor of Bad Street is

627
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.440
bizarre. So yeah, Salton Peppa
apparently was at the show. He's a

628
00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:13.920
Saltan Pepper, the female rapper this
is the Clash, not super Bow,

629
00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:15.119
was on the show that same night. They were just starting to get hot

630
00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:17.920
and Steve It just put out an
album of his own Steve got talking music

631
00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:21.079
with the girls, and later on
in the evening, Steve pulled me aside.

632
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:23.000
Salt and Peppa has invited us to
the bar after the show to party

633
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:25.480
with them. He said, really, I said, yeah. They listen

634
00:46:25.480 --> 00:46:28.440
to my music and they liked it. He said, they like our gimmick

635
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.840
as well. I don't don't know, Steve, I don't think you understand

636
00:46:30.840 --> 00:46:36.719
what they meant by your gimmick.
We went over to talk to them for

637
00:46:36.719 --> 00:46:37.599
a bit, and just to Steve
said they were into us. One of

638
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.840
them had her eye on Steve and
the other was very interested in me.

639
00:46:39.880 --> 00:46:42.519
You want to come with us,
she asked, I'd love to, I

640
00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.480
said, but what she said the
butt was my son Kyle. I just

641
00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:47.199
went full custody of him, and
I was planning to drive back to Springfield

642
00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.000
that night to be with him.
I told her I couldn't go party.

643
00:46:50.039 --> 00:46:52.519
She asked music because I'm black,
No, I said. I told her

644
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:53.760
about my son and how I had
to get home to see him. I

645
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:57.440
never heard that from the man before. She said, really sweet, but

646
00:46:57.480 --> 00:46:59.840
I respect that so much. She
gave me a big hug and to kiss

647
00:46:59.840 --> 00:47:00.960
on the cheek and said, going
home and see your boy. I told

648
00:47:00.960 --> 00:47:04.000
Steve he could get a ride with
someone else if he wanted to stay,

649
00:47:04.039 --> 00:47:06.599
but he chose to go home with
me. The girls were hinting he hung

650
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:08.360
around, they'd help him with his
music. Steve wasn't really into that idea.

651
00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:12.679
He wanted to make it on his
own. Oh my god, I

652
00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.480
don't believe the story at all.
He also didn't want to fool around because

653
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:16.119
he was married. In spite of
all that, the whole way home,

654
00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:19.400
we just kept going back to it, man, Salt and pepper. You

655
00:47:19.440 --> 00:47:21.679
know, I listen, you know, you know what, you know what.

656
00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:25.960
I think you're your wife would have
understood salt and pepper, all right.

657
00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:29.000
I don't think salt pepper were into
you. I think you were into

658
00:47:29.039 --> 00:47:32.760
salt and pepper at the fun I
was gonna say, I think i'd stay.

659
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:38.800
I think they're I think they're they're
mistaking to two small glass cylinders for

660
00:47:38.960 --> 00:47:44.639
two two female rappers. If somebody
talking about salt and pepper at the fucking

661
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:49.239
steakhouse afterward, yeah yeah, yeah
yeah. The only rappers they were involved

662
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:53.280
with that night were Snickers rappers or
McDonald's. Fright, Yeah, yeah,

663
00:47:53.320 --> 00:48:00.760
he got it. The paper fried
bags they used to have. So it's

664
00:48:00.800 --> 00:48:05.199
the birds first. The Pistols kickoffs
super brow one. What a what a

665
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:08.079
barn Burner Jr. Says, we
knew the Pistols will take chances offensively.

666
00:48:08.159 --> 00:48:16.039
Well, apparently he did talk to
Salt Kappa. Oh Jesus Christ. Hey,

667
00:48:16.039 --> 00:48:19.639
he's strutting along the ring and his
long tights and yellow boots. I

668
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.199
don't think Michael Hayes with yellow boots
on as a problem. They look like

669
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:24.679
galoshes. But that's fine, brother, We mean, weren't yellow boots.

670
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:28.920
Dude. Jaar says, a big
daddy dink can be a factor in this

671
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.000
one. He also cannot be.
I think I know which of the two

672
00:48:30.039 --> 00:48:34.920
I'm gonna pick prefer if he wasn't
a factor. Look up at an arm

673
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:37.320
drag by Hayes and he thrusts his
hip and Steve rolls him up, to

674
00:48:37.320 --> 00:48:39.719
a big scream from the girls.
They looked to the Pistols almost win kind

675
00:48:39.760 --> 00:48:44.840
of two. Yeah. The seven
minutes into the show. By the way,

676
00:48:44.920 --> 00:48:50.119
we're seven minutes into the show and
we have our first Jim Ross football

677
00:48:50.480 --> 00:48:53.639
references. It's luck at football.
When a kickoff comes, you get that

678
00:48:53.719 --> 00:48:59.559
first hit under your belt, the
butterflies seem to go away. And Okay,

679
00:48:59.639 --> 00:49:01.599
Jim, because you spent so much
time on the gridiron, right,

680
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:10.599
I'll talk to that. I'm not
gonna sooners damn it. You said sooner

681
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:14.719
or later. Oh no, actually, those are now in laters all over

682
00:49:14.800 --> 00:49:19.679
the desk. Let me take that
back. So you said seven minutes in,

683
00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:22.800
Is that right? Yeah? Well, okay, took about seven minutes

684
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:28.159
for Dusty to reference food as well. He says, once the bell rings,

685
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.719
you smell the popcorn and the roar
of the crowd, and you're ready

686
00:49:30.760 --> 00:49:38.760
for it. I wrote, speak
for yourself, Steve jesus, because Michael,

687
00:49:38.760 --> 00:49:42.320
maybe they plan that. They plan
that for like seven minutes in.

688
00:49:42.480 --> 00:49:45.239
All right, seven minutes in you
talk about food. Seven minutes I'm gonna

689
00:49:45.239 --> 00:49:47.760
talk about football, two of our
favorite things. Yea, although Dusty was

690
00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:52.119
a hell of a football player actually
in his own right. Oh yeah.

691
00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.360
Michael Hayes tosses Steve Armstrong to the
floor, they double whip him and uh

692
00:49:55.719 --> 00:50:00.760
and they duck and dink. Actually
drops Steve Armstrong on the four and then

693
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:04.719
both birds Yep, he's getting physical
here. Then both birds with Larry it's

694
00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:07.079
drop him. But then he drops
both birds with a larry at to a

695
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.159
big pop, and Dusty says,
if they were nervous, brother, their

696
00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:13.239
nervousness just came out of them.
And he says nervous is like it's plural

697
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:16.960
nervous is. And that's when Jr. Says the football thing about butterflies.

698
00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:22.440
Steve Armstrong grabs a headlock push off
dropped down. He's tripped from the outside

699
00:50:22.440 --> 00:50:24.760
by Dingk, so he's puts the
boots to him on the blind side.

700
00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:30.000
Brad Armstrong, one of the pistols
main man, is ring side for the

701
00:50:30.079 --> 00:50:31.960
contest. They mentioned. He's the
older brother of Steve, and he gets

702
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:36.360
in the ring and takes his jacket
off like he's gonna scrap to even up

703
00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:37.599
the odds if humter DNK is gonna
get involved, and they all pop at

704
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:43.039
that jarss DNK has the propensity to
interfere. Dusty doesn't know it, but

705
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:45.480
is sure that that's right. He's
not sure about that, but he believes

706
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:50.880
what Jr. Says, and that's
great. I don't know I wrote He

707
00:50:51.000 --> 00:50:52.760
says he's got that from Gordon.
I don't know why I wrote that down.

708
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:58.119
So the referee Jacks DNC and US
Mothers and Garvin mix it up.

709
00:50:58.159 --> 00:51:01.960
Garvin digs some knees. Tracy Smothers
looks like the manager of a waffle house

710
00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:07.800
with a name like Smothers. It
has to be good. I don't know

711
00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:09.360
about that. They slug away in
the corner, do he? And Jimmy

712
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:14.639
jam Garvin and speaking of jam right, and yeah, Tracy gets free.

713
00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:17.760
Steve climbs like he's gonna strike,
but then Smothers hits Haze and Steele hits

714
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:22.199
the double clothesline. Steve rather hits
the double clothesline. Tracy Smothers with a

715
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:25.000
baseball slide that sends Garvin into the
guardrail, and Dusty says, the whole

716
00:51:25.039 --> 00:51:30.559
state of Wyoming jumped up at once
at that one. There we go,

717
00:51:30.400 --> 00:51:37.679
Tracy. Have you ever wondered what
things, or what maybe some of the

718
00:51:37.719 --> 00:51:42.400
guys thought were the things that made
w W unique. Yeah, in America,

719
00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.320
that's the one thing I didn't think
they ever really established. Yeah,

720
00:51:45.400 --> 00:51:47.800
well, Dusty said. Dusty says, one of the things that WCW is

721
00:51:47.920 --> 00:51:51.960
unique at here. I think one
of the things that w c W office

722
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:54.880
throughout this country. It's for the
fans to choose the people that they want

723
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:59.760
and competition to win a loose that's
what makes us the best at what we

724
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:05.400
do, and we're seeing it right
here tonight. And here I thought freedom

725
00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:07.760
of speech and freedom to choose,
and was it right for everybody not just

726
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:14.239
those exclusive to ww fans. Is
he suggesting that WWF would kick people out

727
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.599
if they booed the baby face?
Because that's just not true. In fact,

728
00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:21.280
they let someone in the front row
at Rumble eighty eight use a fucking

729
00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:24.440
megaphone the whole match. Yeah right, they might just nowadays they might just

730
00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:30.440
take take out the audio. But
curiously, it's Dusty. I remember throwing

731
00:52:30.519 --> 00:52:32.360
hissy fits in the TVs studios when
they would boo him and cheer the horseman.

732
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:37.440
That's just me o Dusty. Yeah. So if you're wondering if you

733
00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:42.199
want translation that verbal salad that Boss
just played from Dusty, it's basically,

734
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.280
let me try to explain why the
people we positioned as heels are being cheered

735
00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:50.719
wildly right now, come damn it. The people that that's what we have

736
00:52:50.880 --> 00:52:53.760
data. That's what makes different than
any organization in the whole wide world.

737
00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:59.719
The people can choose what they want. That's what makes different from any organization

738
00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:04.159
in the world. We can't tell
early on who's gonna be cheering bood right,

739
00:53:04.519 --> 00:53:09.280
Tracy don't have any idea what a
fan of thinking Tracy that had a

740
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.920
great tagline for the company Championship Wrestling. I would have taken that over word

741
00:53:14.920 --> 00:53:17.599
the big boys play. Oh my
god, we have no light Championship Wrestling.

742
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:22.440
We have no idea what our fans
want. That's a little wordy.

743
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:28.280
Why don't we just keep it it? We have no idea World Championship Wrestling.

744
00:53:28.559 --> 00:53:35.360
We have no ideas. It's about
right some mothers the blind tags.

745
00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:38.920
Steve comes in with a whipped into
the ring as so Steve enters, does

746
00:53:38.960 --> 00:53:42.639
the O'Connor roll l Jim Garvin,
but that gets blocked and a double whip

747
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.280
and a double flying a shoulder block
from the Pistols gets to tag to Michael

748
00:53:45.320 --> 00:53:49.679
Hayes, and Hayes hassles Tracy on
the apron wants him to get in there.

749
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:53.480
So there's the tag and Dusty says
that the Birds had five guys uh

750
00:53:53.679 --> 00:54:00.760
here involved, not not for dinner, but including DDP, and now they're

751
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:06.000
down to two, even though DDP
left voluntarily and was not kicked out and

752
00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:12.519
I count Garvin, Hayes, Ye, dink and DDP. Is that not

753
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:15.199
four guys? Who's the fifth guy
he's referencing. Maybe he's talking about the

754
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:19.480
women, maybe three of them at
up to one. I don't know.

755
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:23.000
I don't know. Headlock, push
off, leap frog by Hayes and Tracy

756
00:54:23.119 --> 00:54:27.559
is low bridged and hits the floor. Hayes stays on, Tracy whips him

757
00:54:27.599 --> 00:54:30.360
into a hot shot on the top
of the rail and Tracy actually goes head

758
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:32.960
over, heels on the bump and
hits those sweet blue mats at ringside that

759
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:37.280
Bill Watts can't can't wait to show
up and get rid of and peel off

760
00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:40.880
the floor. I know, he's
like he's he's like chopping at the bit.

761
00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:46.519
Absolutely Tracy looking like Glenn Jacobs as
he goes to the age, he

762
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:51.400
does look like Mayor Jacobs. Takes
a yaku's a kick and he's lying launches

763
00:54:51.480 --> 00:54:53.880
himself into the rail. I mean, some mothers shows up in Saint Pete

764
00:54:54.599 --> 00:55:00.320
to just oh he wants to get
smothered all over the arena. Yeah,

765
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:02.119
he said, you know what,
that board that fell out of the ceiling

766
00:55:02.119 --> 00:55:05.920
didn't knock me loopy enough. Let
me throw my entire body like out of

767
00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:08.199
a cannon into the wall, and
the Haze comes over and pumps the left

768
00:55:08.280 --> 00:55:10.800
jab and Tracy's face. Garvin comes
in, slams him and covers him for

769
00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:14.599
two. Bad street chant breaks out. Jari says, even the freebirds have

770
00:55:14.679 --> 00:55:19.599
their fans, though it's the vast
majority minorities, his vast minority. Yeah,

771
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:24.360
quite sure, fast him, but
it's fine Jesus dust, he says.

772
00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:27.800
W W offers the fans who they
want when or lose like you said.

773
00:55:28.199 --> 00:55:34.519
Tracy gets free on a couple of
elbows and takes off with the boot

774
00:55:34.559 --> 00:55:37.079
and runningknee, and Garvin covers him
but lets him up to dig a knee

775
00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.519
in there Haze in comes chopping,
so their baby faces in peril. Here

776
00:55:40.559 --> 00:55:44.039
are the young pistols corner to corner. Whipp is reversed and Tracy does the

777
00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:51.880
cornermout goes shuh before punches go off. Hayes tries an atomic drop and he

778
00:55:51.960 --> 00:55:54.079
drops him with the left and they
pop because it looked cool. He he

779
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:58.280
dropped them like the atomic and you
know it's you know how you every now

780
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:00.920
and then wrestlers somehow mysteriously counter of
the inverted atomic drop. It just suddenly

781
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:06.039
doesn't hurt. Sometimes yeah yeah,
but when that happens, some mother is

782
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:07.679
standing there and boom, he pops
him with the left jab does Michael Hayes.

783
00:56:07.719 --> 00:56:12.519
Garvin in whips Tracy leap frogs over
and drops and Garvin with the karate

784
00:56:12.719 --> 00:56:15.960
kick. The superkick is what it
actually is, but it's called the karate

785
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:17.960
kick in commentary. And then he
rolls to the wrong corner and leaps to

786
00:56:19.000 --> 00:56:22.440
smothers his Hayese gets in and an
irishwipon Hayes is backdropped by Steve. He's

787
00:56:22.519 --> 00:56:25.280
nailing everyone. He slams Garvin,
he slams Hayes. Pure four brawl breaks

788
00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:29.920
out some nagga knocking action and both
birds fall the pistols climb the ropes and

789
00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:32.800
opposite corners, and he's come soaring
in with missile drop kicks, but both

790
00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:37.639
miss in land and both faces and
here's dust the NJR reaction to that.

791
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:44.400
They both took a chance high riff
maneuver, high riff renew it coming in.

792
00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:50.280
That was a high riff maneuver.
Do it coming in, high riff

793
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:54.159
maneuver, hiriff maneuver coming in.
That was a high riff maneuver. Do

794
00:56:54.320 --> 00:56:59.199
it coming in, And so the
crowd loves that. These cookie cutter baby

795
00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:01.840
faces land in their faces jumping off. Absolutely, they fucking go crazy.

796
00:57:01.920 --> 00:57:06.679
There's a huge pop for that.
They're channing DDT as well. But the

797
00:57:06.719 --> 00:57:08.119
pistols are dumped out of the ring
and they raise their hands and turn around

798
00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:12.239
and a Smothers comes off the top
with a double clothesline. Jr. Going

799
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:15.599
nuts with explosive off fans you know
how he gets oh yes, and he

800
00:57:15.639 --> 00:57:20.079
feels like a baby face is cooking
out there. Tracy hits a double clothesline

801
00:57:20.119 --> 00:57:22.599
out of the ring. Go the
bird. Steve climbs and does a top

802
00:57:22.719 --> 00:57:29.079
rope plan cha. That's right,
takes both of them out. Jared says,

803
00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:32.239
this kid took the ultimate chance there
back in Hayes with a whip.

804
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:37.480
Does that mean he was gonna die
if he missed? I think that's what

805
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:39.239
he was trying to apply. Yes, because that to me is the ultimate

806
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:42.559
chance. If that, if that, you know, you take this chance,

807
00:57:42.599 --> 00:57:45.920
it could be your last chance.
Pistols lift Michael Hayes like in that

808
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:49.320
heart attack position and Smothers comes off
the flying back elbow. They sling shot

809
00:57:49.400 --> 00:57:52.480
Garmon in the hard way and hit
another sort of heart attack style move on

810
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:55.800
him with Steve Uptop and a drop
kick, and Garvin actually hits the referee

811
00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:59.079
on the way down. So we
have our first reth mump of this Dusty

812
00:57:59.119 --> 00:58:05.280
booked card. Definitely definitely a drinking
game for any Dusty Booked event. And

813
00:58:05.360 --> 00:58:09.039
then here he comes this masked guy
with feathers all over his jacket and all

814
00:58:09.119 --> 00:58:12.960
black suddenly climbs up to the top
rope. The announcers are like, who

815
00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:15.199
is this guy? He flies in
with clotheslines, dropping both of the young

816
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:21.079
pistols, and this is when Michael
Hayes hooks a DT off the second rope

817
00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:24.559
on both guys and and nails it. There's feathers all over the ring,

818
00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:30.639
screams. Jim Ross says he noticed
that this mystery man's shirt said Fantasia on

819
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:34.239
it, which, of course something
Michael Hayes used to say in all of

820
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:37.599
his eighties promos and something I guess
Dusty Rhodes used to call him Michael Hayes

821
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.000
for short in the back. So
after the DDT, Hayes covers Smothers for

822
00:58:40.119 --> 00:58:45.719
the one, the two, and
the three and the Smothers brothers go down

823
00:58:45.800 --> 00:58:49.440
to the free Birds. Here ten
minutes and nineteen seconds, the Birds are

824
00:58:49.480 --> 00:58:52.480
your new US tag team champions.
To get super Brown one started cut to

825
00:58:52.559 --> 00:58:57.880
a young kid jumping up and down. I don't know this Fantasia gear looks

826
00:58:57.920 --> 00:59:02.320
to me a lot like the Blue
Blazer gear. Yeah, it's weird.

827
00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:07.800
I don't get it. And Owen
Hart was in WCW until weeks before Super

828
00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:13.679
Brawl. Really, yes, it's
very I distinctly remember it, because not

829
00:59:13.840 --> 00:59:16.280
not at the time, but I
remember when Owen passed in ninety nine and

830
00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:19.519
they did the Brett ben Wat tribute
match, or maybe it was the next

831
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.239
night at of Nitro. Actually,
they had a freeze frame of Owen from

832
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:25.280
their own archives. You could tell
it was a WCW. I'm like,

833
00:59:25.360 --> 00:59:29.719
what the fuck? He was in
w for like two months in nineteen ninety

834
00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:32.719
one. Wow, But he wanted
to do a tour of Japan and didn't

835
00:59:32.719 --> 00:59:36.159
want to cancel. Let I guess
he'd committed to it before coming to WCW,

836
00:59:36.320 --> 00:59:38.239
and w W wanted him to skip
out on it. Of course,

837
00:59:38.320 --> 00:59:44.119
New Japan I think was was where
he had the deal. Yeah, because

838
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:46.760
he was one of their key junior
heavyweights throughout the early nineties for coming to

839
00:59:46.920 --> 00:59:52.360
WWF and late eighties as well.
Actually, and uh yeah, so he

840
00:59:52.480 --> 00:59:54.920
was actually teaming with Brian Pillman to
beat the Freebirds on the circuit. I'd

841
00:59:54.920 --> 00:59:59.639
invite you to consider Owen Hart and
Brian Pillman versus the Freebirds in nineteen ninety

842
00:59:59.639 --> 01:00:05.480
one. I very much enjoy that
thought. It kind of too, I

843
01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:10.880
really like to sea. Yeah,
for sure. You talk about top rope,

844
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:15.639
missile drop kicks, German suplex plancha
based offense, you talk about junior

845
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:21.800
heavyweight work rate, and you imagine
Pillman and owen Hart versus the Steiner brothers.

846
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:24.039
Oh, don't you fucking what are
you trying to do to me?

847
01:00:24.440 --> 01:00:32.119
Jesus Christ? The tosses, Oh
that would be absurd, but a battle

848
01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:38.360
that would be Yes. They go
on to say that Fantasia is in fact

849
01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:43.599
bad Street, and according to most
reporting, it's because there was some threatened

850
01:00:43.679 --> 01:00:46.239
legal action by Disney, because of
course Fantasia is a very famous Disney film.

851
01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:50.440
Whats it got to do with the
wrestler though, Like, yeah,

852
01:00:50.760 --> 01:00:53.239
it's just too don't know, It's
like it's not like the fucking guy came

853
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:58.440
out dressed like a like a fucking
hippo with a fucking two two. Let

854
01:00:58.480 --> 01:01:01.360
me ask you if if a guy
came out dressed up like uh, let

855
01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:06.920
me see if he came out dressed
up like George Bush and they called him

856
01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:10.599
Batman, do you think DC would
have a problem with it? I do.

857
01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:15.400
I do think they'd have a problem
with the name. But Fantasia is

858
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:22.719
much more of a general term,
not just owned by by Disney, isn't

859
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:29.360
isn't like he Isn't Fantasia the name
of the world and never earning story.

860
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:32.519
Isn't it like the Kingdom of Fantasia? I think? I think so?

861
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:39.039
Yeah, So it's not like Fantasia
is a is exclusive right, I don't

862
01:01:39.119 --> 01:01:45.800
think. I can't imagine. I
mean, people have been saying that word

863
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:49.719
since before that. So all right, if we're gonna get a Fantasia shutdown

864
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:52.599
due to a intellectual property complaints,
let's call him a Ratna Man instead and

865
01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:57.400
see what happens. Yeah, right, precisely like Spider Man, but we'll

866
01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.480
use different colors, so it'll work
fine. There was some legal action on

867
01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:05.599
that one too, as well,
threatened I guess I don't know. I

868
01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:08.400
guess maybe it is just it's a
Disney term, but I don't know.

869
01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:14.920
It's weird red leather on the US
tax straps for those keeping track of such

870
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:17.559
things. And here we go.
Dusty says. The game plan was they

871
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:22.960
had Fantasia waiting in the wings and
we jump kind of warp speed to the

872
01:02:22.039 --> 01:02:27.000
next match. They kept things really
moving on this pay per view. Oh

873
01:02:27.079 --> 01:02:30.599
that was that was like kind of
that that that period of WCW where you

874
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:32.920
know, you just kind of it's
funny how they keep things moving for a

875
01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:37.519
while and then all of a sudden, shit just stalls, right, just

876
01:02:37.719 --> 01:02:44.599
stops, and we get these idiotic
long segments of talking to fill time.

877
01:02:44.679 --> 01:02:47.559
Well, there's a cage for the
Simmons redmatch that probably had something to do

878
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:52.440
with it, the thunder Doom cage. So Ricky Morton making his way to

879
01:02:52.480 --> 01:02:55.559
the brain with his bright blue eyes
and he's called pound for pound, were

880
01:02:55.559 --> 01:03:00.239
of the most outstanding athletes to compete
in WCW. But he'll be out weighed

881
01:03:00.239 --> 01:03:04.920
by almost one hundred pounds here against
big crazy ass Dan Spivey. This is

882
01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:07.880
a main event. This is a
main event nowhere around the country. Doug

883
01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:13.840
Dilaner siding walking along the ramp like
the protection professional that he is. He'd

884
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:17.760
imagine like he's the last person I
want to have protect me. He's so

885
01:03:19.360 --> 01:03:22.280
like I cannot see him as being
a threat to anybody. He is not

886
01:03:23.039 --> 01:03:27.599
go down with his ship. If
anything, I feel like he would allow

887
01:03:27.800 --> 01:03:30.840
threats to happen to the people.
But he's supposedly curing I just don't touch

888
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:35.440
me. Don't touch me exactly.
Yeah. If he was a cruise boat,

889
01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:37.760
go ahead, go ahead, he
would go with the women and children.

890
01:03:37.360 --> 01:03:42.480
Oh yeah, I'm well before them. Actually, captains go first.

891
01:03:43.000 --> 01:03:45.159
It's right, get the fuck out
of the boat. Captains go first.

892
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:47.360
I gotta go. I gotta go. What's the name of the actor and

893
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:52.639
Titanic? That's ship head that was
with Rose earlier. Who puts himself,

894
01:03:54.480 --> 01:04:00.119
Oh my god, yes, yes, but Billy, I love you.

895
01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:06.760
Fuck uh Billy. Oh, Billy
Zane, Billy Zane, Billy Zane.

896
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:11.440
He's Billy Zane. Look at me, Yes he is Billy Zane. I

897
01:04:11.519 --> 01:04:17.840
have a child. Oh, here
he is. Here comes Dillinger, captain

898
01:04:17.880 --> 01:04:21.400
of a singing cruiser's cruise ship,
and he comes up. He grabs someone

899
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:25.800
else's child and says like I have
a child, I gotta go. I

900
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:31.079
can't go down with a ship.
I gotta go down with her at that

901
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:39.280
accent, somehow takes a lot of
it away from Odessa, Florida in the

902
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:43.440
Chaps Dangerous Dan Spyby and oh god, I can't deal with this guy.

903
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:47.519
I mean, I just feel like
he is a movie monster. Look like

904
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:53.840
long, He's got his long fucking
head. Don't you know he's don't play

905
01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:58.320
a sound bite of Jay are talking
about his football background. Okay, I

906
01:04:58.559 --> 01:05:01.440
don't fucking tell nothing about him.
I was really just wanted to get through

907
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:05.880
this one college football at Southeast Conference
University of Georgia, played in the National

908
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:10.800
Football League for the New York Earlier. He wanted to dictate the pace.

909
01:05:12.760 --> 01:05:17.679
Told me earlier he wants to go
back you playing football. No, Jarr,

910
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:23.440
that's you wanted to go back to
calling football. It's right, hey,

911
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:27.960
So that could be his personal commentator, I mean, okay, Jr.

912
01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:31.760
Talked to him earlier in the day
in Saint Pete about his strategy against

913
01:05:31.840 --> 01:05:34.599
Rickey Morton got it. What do
you think of May? What do you

914
01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:38.599
think of Dan? I didn't approach
this one, Ricky Morton. Of course,

915
01:05:40.039 --> 01:05:44.800
you know I maintained control, maintain
that pace. What do you think?

916
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:46.360
Come on, okay, yes,
I want to maintain that pace.

917
01:05:46.440 --> 01:05:49.280
Can you please just say what you
want to say about me and then I'll

918
01:05:49.320 --> 01:05:54.360
say it so you can say I
said it. I want to say you

919
01:05:54.400 --> 01:05:57.199
play football. I mean, I
swear to God it becomes I don't know

920
01:05:57.320 --> 01:06:00.480
what Dusty short circuits. He says, dictate the pace like more times in

921
01:06:00.519 --> 01:06:02.679
a row. I mean they say
dictate the page no less than ten times?

922
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:05.280
As dance bive he makes his way
to the ring. I'm exaggerating,

923
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:09.719
but not by much. Yeah,
let's dance five verse with Morton. Here

924
01:06:09.760 --> 01:06:13.599
Spivey goes off on him in the
corner like he's Adrian Adonis or something.

925
01:06:14.159 --> 01:06:16.760
He looks like. Spivey looks like
the love child of Nails and Zachary ty

926
01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:26.119
Bryan. Oh shit from Home Improvement. Jachary ty Brian, does that come

927
01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:42.199
with a crispy noodles? Look at
him? How about we have a go

928
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.079
Home Improvement on this match? There? That would be great. Thrown to

929
01:06:45.119 --> 01:06:48.280
the floor, comes back in,
peppering him with shots out again he goes

930
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:53.079
and he's back in and then Morton
keeps throwing and heaving and has actually leaped

931
01:06:53.079 --> 01:06:55.559
to connect with Spivey's head, but
he's trying to play Captain mouse here.

932
01:06:55.639 --> 01:07:00.599
Essentially, Morgan goes to the floor, lies in as lies into the ring

933
01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:03.519
as Spivey gives chase and he catches
some of the way back in whip and

934
01:07:04.519 --> 01:07:09.880
Spivey stops him and hooks him and
hits a big DDT as they were thirsting

935
01:07:09.880 --> 01:07:13.960
for in the opening match. So
I guess DDT doesn't mean much, right,

936
01:07:14.000 --> 01:07:15.880
it's the free Birds big ballyhoed finisher
or one second match. It's a

937
01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:20.639
transition move on Morton, fucking right, DT is a nothing move. Red

938
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:25.039
boots and black trunks on Dan Spivey
as he hits a whip in lariato falling

939
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:28.400
down that drops Morton for two.
That a power bomb. I think you

940
01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:30.440
can hear Morton say touch me brother
or something like that, or protect me

941
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:35.599
rather protect me brother brother. It
turns into a razor's edge that fucking kills

942
01:07:35.639 --> 01:07:40.000
him. But it's not a finish. No, Spivey's and allay his finishers

943
01:07:40.000 --> 01:07:43.199
not even covering, and Morton comes
out firing, selling the back and falls

944
01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:45.719
down even though he showed some fire, which is some really nice selling from

945
01:07:45.760 --> 01:07:49.480
Morton, he keeps shooting these shots
Irish whip ducks. Morton goes for a

946
01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:53.480
crossbody block, He's caught in mid
air and Spivey hits a Falloway slam.

947
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:57.320
Spivy straight up drops the leg and
I mean exactly like Hulkoby used to do

948
01:07:57.480 --> 01:08:00.440
it. Yep, Broller, I
guess two. This guy, this guy

949
01:08:00.480 --> 01:08:04.280
used to wear he who used to
have the shoulder length yellow hair and wear

950
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:09.039
yellow and red and w W if
I remind you, yeah, I didn't

951
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:12.639
like. After he wins this match, he fucking just takes out an electric

952
01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:24.680
razor and just shaves off the top
of his head and he can starts poses

953
01:08:25.760 --> 01:08:29.960
you mentioned if like on the next
w W pay per view seth Rawlins comes

954
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:33.079
out and he is shaved the entire
top part of his head to look like

955
01:08:33.880 --> 01:08:38.960
kept the side hair and just went
with a must off. Someone making the

956
01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:43.920
choice to shave themselves bald right up
the middle like that. That's a phenomenal

957
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:46.479
thing to think about. It really
is. Oh, I would love to

958
01:08:46.560 --> 01:08:51.039
see that. I want I want
male pattern baldness. That's what I want

959
01:08:51.039 --> 01:08:55.199
my hair style to me, I'm
like, he's the guy's like twenty six,

960
01:08:55.239 --> 01:08:58.039
and he shaves his head to look
like he's Hogan in his fifties,

961
01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:03.319
So Dusty says pay window for the
first time on the show. Spivy into

962
01:09:03.319 --> 01:09:06.840
the arm Dragon Morton reverse whip.
Spivy hits Stern him first, then of

963
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:12.159
the buckling Morton with a roll up
for one two back up whip. Morton

964
01:09:12.199 --> 01:09:15.239
tries a drop kick, but Spivey
holds on, so Morton hits the deck

965
01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:20.560
spive He misses an elbow drop and
Morton runs into an awaiting awkward Dan Spivey.

966
01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:25.399
It runs headlong into him, but
you know, Spivey comes out on

967
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:28.640
top of what they intended. It
didn't quite happen. Spivey then snatches him

968
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:31.000
kind of in like a panic to
recover on that blown spot and gives him

969
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:34.840
a full on power bomb, just
power bombs him like nothing and puts one

970
01:09:34.880 --> 01:09:40.840
foot on his chest. One two, three, Jesus Christ, it's a

971
01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:45.399
mess. Three minutes and eleven seconds. Dan Spivey defeats Ricky Morton here at

972
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:47.279
super Brawl one, and Morton kind
of lifts the shoulder right after the mat

973
01:09:47.439 --> 01:09:50.439
hits the hand hits the mat for
number three, So I don't know if

974
01:09:50.479 --> 01:09:55.680
he was disgruntled or what. That
that never helps the finish. Dusty on

975
01:09:55.760 --> 01:10:00.880
the replaces the rib cage starts to
shake and shimmy on Morton and yeah,

976
01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:03.960
I wouldn't doubt it. I'm sure
that. I'm sure that the cage was

977
01:10:04.039 --> 01:10:08.079
shaken and shimming. Speaking of that
miss, he high at his backstage.

978
01:10:08.119 --> 01:10:12.000
Well, she's hit Tony Sharonni the
Highway first, not yet, that's right,

979
01:10:12.119 --> 01:10:17.119
Oh my god, fucking that idiot
Tom Zank. This stupid face like

980
01:10:17.239 --> 01:10:24.479
he looks like a complete goofball.
He's he's not somebody who who's bought like

981
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:29.399
his face does not go with his
with his body, you know, he's

982
01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:33.600
in incredible shape. And then you
got that dufest looking face of his.

983
01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:40.479
It's such a bozzo. Only ze
man I care about is George the Hornen.

984
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:43.560
Okay, there we go. But
he had recently just signed a one

985
01:10:43.600 --> 01:10:46.319
year contract extension, according to the
Observer with WCW at one hundred fifty six

986
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:50.199
thousand dollars a year. That's an
exact kind of contract that Bill Watts comes

987
01:10:50.199 --> 01:10:55.039
in and says, what the fuck
is this for a guy named Zank what

988
01:10:55.239 --> 01:10:59.760
the fuck? And he explains to
people, does the Z's been out the

989
01:10:59.840 --> 01:11:01.279
last six weeks, but he wouldn't
have missed this event for the world.

990
01:11:02.560 --> 01:11:05.000
He's in a suit, and Tony
says in behalf of if you just show

991
01:11:05.079 --> 01:11:06.760
up, I'll tell you what.
If you show up, We'll give you

992
01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:15.479
a payday whatever. If Dusty hasn't
eaten it already, Tony says on behalf

993
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:20.359
of I'll tell you what. I'll
give you one hundred grand if Dusty hasn't

994
01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:25.039
eaten that already. Terms have we
done? That? A good thing?

995
01:11:25.680 --> 01:11:32.800
That's good stuff. That's a tlf
classic, ap belongs on TLFX, Tony

996
01:11:32.840 --> 01:11:36.359
says in behalf of Turner Home Entertainment. Congratulations to Susan Moody of Kentucky on

997
01:11:36.399 --> 01:11:41.920
the Wrestling fun Line, where apparently
you can vote if Missy Hyatt will go

998
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:45.600
to the men's dressing room tonight.
Apparently I tried to look up I tried

999
01:11:45.640 --> 01:11:48.199
to look up a Susan Moody.
I couldn't find someone who represented who resembled

1000
01:11:48.239 --> 01:11:51.560
this from Kentucky, who resembled that
remark. Yeah, not as easy to

1001
01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:56.680
track down as the winner of the
first House and in your house isn't no,

1002
01:11:57.079 --> 01:11:59.960
no, not at all. But
apparently a select caller won a prize.

1003
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:02.439
Is an Overall sixty percent of the
voting fans said yes, Missy Hyatt

1004
01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:08.399
should go into the men's dressing room
into an interview, of course, because

1005
01:12:08.600 --> 01:12:13.840
they because they think like I think, and they want to see Missy Hyatt

1006
01:12:13.960 --> 01:12:16.600
get aroused and start fucking, and
they act like it's this total novelty.

1007
01:12:16.640 --> 01:12:25.159
And then they replay when she yep, getting that as Larry's working on it

1008
01:12:25.680 --> 01:12:30.680
and here fucking at ninety two degrees
missus Missy says, I remember that,

1009
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:33.840
but that's not fair. They treated
me bad. I don't know what she

1010
01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:38.600
was after, but it kind of
worked in its own, really kitchy way.

1011
01:12:38.800 --> 01:12:42.199
But I don't know man her delivery
just I mean, it's it's so

1012
01:12:42.359 --> 01:12:46.439
weird because she she very much wants
to see Tom Zank naked. She makes

1013
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:50.399
that very apparent. But then you
know she gets in there and you know

1014
01:12:50.600 --> 01:13:00.479
she gets handsomed. It's it's very
bizarre. What are they seeing when she

1015
01:13:00.520 --> 01:13:02.680
went in there? One? Yeah, something like that. Yes, yes

1016
01:13:02.760 --> 01:13:08.800
they did, so they're like two
when they bop they bopped her. They're

1017
01:13:08.840 --> 01:13:13.880
having fun. With Missy as always, and they show it from Wrestle War

1018
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:15.680
and how she opens up and stand
does the no holds barred routine with the

1019
01:13:16.159 --> 01:13:21.239
tobacco hanging out of his mouth and
no sharn. Tony's laughing and she goes,

1020
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:24.800
excuse me, what are you laughing
about? This is nineteen ninety one.

1021
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.039
I'm a woman. I have a
right to go into a dressing room

1022
01:13:27.560 --> 01:13:30.880
anytime I want. They boo that. It's like, okay, well doesn't

1023
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:32.840
doesn't. So does that mean a
gentleman has the right to go into a

1024
01:13:32.920 --> 01:13:36.960
women's locker room anytime he wants.
She's you know, there was that.

1025
01:13:38.239 --> 01:13:40.880
We talked about it when we did
Wrestle War. There was this controversy in

1026
01:13:40.920 --> 01:13:44.039
the media where a female reporter went
into the mental locker room. There was

1027
01:13:44.039 --> 01:13:45.359
a big deal. I remember,
Tony says, I speak on behalf of

1028
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:49.119
all of ze men. He says, ze Man, well, right behind

1029
01:13:49.199 --> 01:13:51.880
you. She asks, don't you
have to take a shower or something?

1030
01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:57.960
And ze Man says, I might
be Missy And she says, well,

1031
01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.279
I'm going into the dressing room again. She's to crying it, but she's

1032
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:02.600
preparing to do it. Back in
the ring, Gary Michael Compettite introduces wildfire

1033
01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:06.760
Tommy Rich, who's here to contribute. They have this way for shape thing

1034
01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:10.079
at the entrance. I don't know
what that's for, but it's weird.

1035
01:14:10.159 --> 01:14:15.520
It's not Tommy Rich. Isn't he
that way? He has shaped like a

1036
01:14:15.560 --> 01:14:21.119
wafer cookie? Is he not?
What a painful? What a fucking idiot?

1037
01:14:23.680 --> 01:14:30.760
Uh fucking Jr. Says that Tommy
Rich has great courage and great desire.

1038
01:14:31.199 --> 01:14:35.800
I can say that again, Do
tell Jr, He says. J

1039
01:14:36.439 --> 01:14:41.520
Jarr says that Tommy Rich likes to
use the luth As vertical body press.

1040
01:14:41.600 --> 01:14:44.479
Not what I heard. I heard
he likes to use the Jim Barnett vertical

1041
01:14:44.560 --> 01:14:46.640
body press. Also, I also
heard he likes to do the No,

1042
01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:51.319
the Jim Barnet horizontal body press is
what it is. Dusty says a lot

1043
01:14:51.359 --> 01:14:54.880
of words, A word salad,
the only salad ever in his mouth,

1044
01:14:55.560 --> 01:15:00.119
and c off out from Lithuania with
a chain on his neck. Dusty says

1045
01:15:00.159 --> 01:15:09.000
this okay. He says, yes, I talked to Tommy Rich later today,

1046
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:15.159
meaning he talked past tense to Tommy
Rich later today, meaning the future.

1047
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:21.600
I sit here, I sit here, awaiting the onset of the problem.

1048
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:28.079
He does correct himself, but there
was a moment where he actually lived

1049
01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:32.159
in that in that where he had
previously talked to Tommy Rich in the future

1050
01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:40.239
keeping up. Yet it must have
been what I heard when I wrote here

1051
01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:43.279
in my notes word salad from Dusty
first salad. Yeah, that's gotta be

1052
01:15:43.399 --> 01:15:45.439
it. That's gotta be it,
because I mean, I just I rewound

1053
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:49.640
that one a few times because I
was that's absolutely tremendous. So it's Nikita

1054
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:57.039
Coloff at his least efficacious, this
very uninspired nine WW run against Tommy Rich.

1055
01:15:57.159 --> 01:15:59.600
Dusty says that Nikita is back,
and he tried to talk to him

1056
01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:01.920
several time times, and he's on
a mission to become the US champion and

1057
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:05.800
from there the world's heavyweight champion.
So Dusty really turning back the clock on

1058
01:16:05.840 --> 01:16:10.359
the Nikita colof push. As he
gets the book here in nineteen ninety one,

1059
01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:14.119
Rich grabs the side headlock push and
ducks and hits a cross body and

1060
01:16:14.159 --> 01:16:17.119
Nikita for two. Rich with the
most eighties hair imaginable here in the nineties.

1061
01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:21.560
He looks like anachronism. He looks
like a yeah, something from a

1062
01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:26.840
museum lock up to the corner.
Coal off goes off of those clubbing shots

1063
01:16:27.119 --> 01:16:30.399
and we get our squiggles on the
lights from the on the camera. So

1064
01:16:30.479 --> 01:16:34.319
that's always a welcome sight. Corner
rich moves out of the way, roll

1065
01:16:34.399 --> 01:16:38.560
up by Rich gets two. Richard
the headlock broke the corner. Shoulders to

1066
01:16:38.600 --> 01:16:42.800
the get not to mention not to
mention two that that colof he has his

1067
01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:45.920
black singlet, but there is a
yellow and red on the back. Yes.

1068
01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:53.239
I heard a rumor that hul Hogan
who he was working at he's working

1069
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:56.920
a house show in Milwaukee at he
was at the Bradley Center and he actually

1070
01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.640
left. He actually he's left and
started running down of St. Petersburg.

1071
01:17:00.800 --> 01:17:01.880
Is that right before someone stopped him? Yep, yep. He's like,

1072
01:17:02.239 --> 01:17:06.840
brother, dude, what I felt
like? Brother, He's on the road.

1073
01:17:08.359 --> 01:17:10.560
Someone's trying to roll me up,
Dude, I'm out. He's flying.

1074
01:17:10.920 --> 01:17:14.239
I'm going to Saint Pete. Brother, I'm going home. I'm definitely

1075
01:17:14.239 --> 01:17:17.239
one hundred twenty miles an hour down
the freeway, like burning it up.

1076
01:17:17.279 --> 01:17:20.720
In this imagine, you know,
he's up in fucking yeah, he's up

1077
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:25.000
in in in Milwaukee, and then
all of a sudden, like you're driving

1078
01:17:25.039 --> 01:17:29.680
down the highway and you see Hulkogan
just in his wrestling gear. You know,

1079
01:17:29.720 --> 01:17:36.640
he's like fucking yellow trunks and meepath
the whole thing, fucking running down

1080
01:17:36.720 --> 01:17:40.920
the fucking I'm on the side there. Well, it wouldn't have far to

1081
01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:43.920
travel, because do you know where
WWF was the night before this event in

1082
01:17:43.960 --> 01:17:48.680
Saint Pete where Sundome in Tampa.
Yeah, but they were in Wisconsin on

1083
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:51.880
this night. They were in Wisconsin
on that night. Yeah, the night

1084
01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:56.159
before though, you better believe.
And I bet that, uh that sundown

1085
01:17:56.319 --> 01:17:58.640
show ran late. And I used
to be the other thing they used to

1086
01:17:58.640 --> 01:18:01.720
do. In addition to try to
get uh you know, exclusives in name,

1087
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:05.960
not in name, but in concept
on buildings, they would also run

1088
01:18:06.039 --> 01:18:11.039
the same city and when they could, the same building as WCW the night

1089
01:18:11.119 --> 01:18:15.720
before, and uh, you know, have the show run to like two

1090
01:18:15.760 --> 01:18:19.199
am, so the crew had no
time to set up the production for the

1091
01:18:19.239 --> 01:18:24.800
pay per view names. Oh that's
spectacular. That was very much still in

1092
01:18:24.840 --> 01:18:30.840
the playbook in nineteen ninety one.
Refree Mike Atkins presiding over the contest Rich

1093
01:18:31.079 --> 01:18:36.600
with an Irish whip on the corner
to corner running elbow to Nikita. Rich

1094
01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:41.119
tries a splash in the corner,
Buddy misses, then Coloff slams him,

1095
01:18:41.119 --> 01:18:44.600
clubs him, snapmar in an elbow
drop gets too Rich fires into the buck

1096
01:18:44.760 --> 01:18:48.119
Riches fired into the buckle cornermount punches
reversed Irish whip. Rich goes to the

1097
01:18:48.159 --> 01:18:54.079
middle rope totally whips on a cross
body like a moron, and Nikita finishes

1098
01:18:54.119 --> 01:18:56.880
him off with a quick whip in
a Russian sickle clothes line that gets the

1099
01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.319
one, two and the three.
And he's a fan with uh but there's

1100
01:19:00.359 --> 01:19:04.800
a fan wearing a Bart Simpson T
shirt. Yes, just to solidify our

1101
01:19:04.880 --> 01:19:10.279
time period. Oh man, you
know everyone's fucking wearing Bart Simpson T shirts.

1102
01:19:10.439 --> 01:19:15.560
People wanted Simpsons off the air because
it was too no way, man,

1103
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:19.960
no way, not back back then
that was fucking h prime prime cut

1104
01:19:20.039 --> 01:19:27.239
Simpsons. I question, you know, not that, not that Nikia Kof

1105
01:19:27.560 --> 01:19:31.640
is very good at this, but
I was wondering, do do do these

1106
01:19:31.720 --> 01:19:38.520
guys? Do wrestlers take lessons with
their when they when they're trying to learn

1107
01:19:38.560 --> 01:19:44.039
a dialect. I know he didn't, he just uh he he just studied

1108
01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:48.239
people speaking Russian on television, and
he would actually have a he subscribed to,

1109
01:19:48.359 --> 01:19:53.239
like communist magazines, to be sent
to his house in his neighborhood so

1110
01:19:53.359 --> 01:19:56.560
that people thought he was like legitimately
Russian. He went way too wow,

1111
01:19:58.479 --> 01:20:00.760
because I'm always wandering. I mean, granted, some people who are just

1112
01:20:00.960 --> 01:20:06.520
awful at it, but I'm wondering
how far they're told to take it or

1113
01:20:06.600 --> 01:20:11.119
to you know, we want you
to learn how to do this accent or

1114
01:20:11.199 --> 01:20:13.800
this dialect. Yeah, I think
he came from a generation that was much

1115
01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:16.359
more decide for yourself self determination on
that. I don't think it was like

1116
01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:19.600
or sit you down, we want
you to do this, like nah,

1117
01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:23.800
it was kind of just like you
kind of at some point a booker may

1118
01:20:23.840 --> 01:20:26.279
have suggested it and he went hard
with it. I'm trying to remember his

1119
01:20:26.319 --> 01:20:30.279
whole story on that. Yeah,
but that's the thing about you know,

1120
01:20:30.520 --> 01:20:35.520
besides Vince, like this idea that
they sat you down and created a gimmick

1121
01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:40.319
for you. That that's kind of
like nineties, like mid nineties, that

1122
01:20:40.439 --> 01:20:45.359
starts really early to mid nineties.
Guys that came up in the business seventies

1123
01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:47.920
and the eighties and worked several territories, you know, they pretty much,

1124
01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:53.840
you know, figured it out at
some point on their own. He had

1125
01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:57.159
he had the tag team early in
his career with Ivan Koloff, so we

1126
01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:01.439
would have picked up how Colof used
to the English Russian accent. Yeah,

1127
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:09.479
so that was that was it.
He says he protected the character so much.

1128
01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:12.640
This is in his book, Nikia
Kolloffs, that I spoke with an

1129
01:21:12.640 --> 01:21:17.039
accent whenever I was around his wife's
family. Okay, it's normal. Wow,

1130
01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:20.079
he's a Minnesota guy. You can
hear him talking like Dark Side of

1131
01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:23.680
the Ring and stuff like the magnum
Ta episode. The guy couldn't have a

1132
01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:27.359
more and a dyne accentless voice,
you know. I mean, he's got

1133
01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:30.479
a little bit of that Minnesota touched
to his voice, but not really.

1134
01:21:34.159 --> 01:21:36.880
He says, I believe they needed
to do that around the girls because children

1135
01:21:36.920 --> 01:21:40.439
are so honest that if someone asked
them about me, they would easily give

1136
01:21:40.479 --> 01:21:43.439
me up. So he wasn't really
Russian. He says, I'll never forget

1137
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:48.600
the day when I finally spoke around
them without the accent. Tany asked Victoria,

1138
01:21:48.680 --> 01:21:53.760
what's wrong with daddy's voice? Everyone
erupted in laughter. It's kind of

1139
01:21:53.800 --> 01:21:58.960
weird. That's very bizarre. After
my discussion with Rick, more than a

1140
01:21:59.039 --> 01:22:00.399
year went by before I just sided
to return to the ring. In nineteen

1141
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:03.119
ninety one, I began talking with
the people at WCW and after a few

1142
01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:06.479
weeks of negotiating, we came to
an agreement, and Dusty Rhodes played a

1143
01:22:06.520 --> 01:22:10.479
big part in my return. I
had nothing against Rick or his offer,

1144
01:22:10.560 --> 01:22:13.399
but a big part of my decision
was based on my friendship at Dusty and

1145
01:22:13.479 --> 01:22:15.239
he was the one who finally persuaded
me to return to wrestling. Things were

1146
01:22:15.239 --> 01:22:17.680
going to be different, though the
promotion wanted me to return as a heel.

1147
01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:20.479
I hadn't worked here for several years. When I left wrestling, it

1148
01:22:20.520 --> 01:22:24.600
was as a good guy that changed
much to my surprise, had gone over

1149
01:22:24.680 --> 01:22:27.399
well with the fans, especially after
I stepped up to take Magnum's place with

1150
01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:29.840
Dusty. That turned to touch to
the hearts of the fans. It had

1151
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:31.520
such an emotional impact with the fans
at the time that Bill after my friend,

1152
01:22:31.520 --> 01:22:34.800
who was seeing Reditor pro using Illustrated, did a cover story titled I

1153
01:22:34.960 --> 01:22:42.600
Cry for Magnum TA So Yeah,
I'm becoming a heel again. Was kind

1154
01:22:42.600 --> 01:22:46.439
of a challenge he comes back at
the Wrestle War pay per view in nineteen

1155
01:22:46.520 --> 01:22:48.800
ninety one. We talked about this
as part of the art of war games.

1156
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:55.760
Yeah, and he wrestles. He
presents Luger with a new title and

1157
01:22:55.800 --> 01:23:01.640
then ends up turning on him and
claims to be misunderstood and everything, and

1158
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:08.359
he ends up phasing out the accent
after leaving the business. He says,

1159
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:11.119
it was like happening graces on your
teeth for years, and when you finally

1160
01:23:11.159 --> 01:23:13.199
get them off, no one notices. No one ever came up to me

1161
01:23:13.279 --> 01:23:15.840
and said, hey, what happened
to your accent? Which is pretty interesting,

1162
01:23:17.680 --> 01:23:24.479
I would I'm amazed at that actually
too. He even as a story

1163
01:23:24.560 --> 01:23:30.359
about how he went to when he
was with the Crockett they went to was

1164
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:35.520
it Kuwait? They did a show
somewhere in the Middle East, and there

1165
01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:42.199
was a Russian ambassador to that Middle
Eastern country who was there and who had

1166
01:23:42.279 --> 01:23:45.560
heard about Nikita Koloff, this great
Russian that was a huge wrestling star in

1167
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:55.560
the US, and the ambassador insisted
on meeting with him to talk about it.

1168
01:23:55.640 --> 01:23:59.159
The Soviet ambassador, Yes, here
it is, Oh my god,

1169
01:23:59.319 --> 01:24:05.560
this is a great story. Kuwait. Yes, it was Kuwait and let's

1170
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:10.239
see, so he was prominently featured
on on Billboard's word got out. A

1171
01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:14.880
Russian who's been wrestling in the US
and defeating almost everyone was coming to Kuwait.

1172
01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:17.760
Upon my arrival, the Russian embassy
contacted the promoter this is, of

1173
01:24:17.840 --> 01:24:21.039
course, the local promoter, not
Jim Crockett, and informed him that if

1174
01:24:21.039 --> 01:24:25.399
a Russian athlete was in Kuwait,
he had an obligation to stay at the

1175
01:24:25.439 --> 01:24:30.680
embassy as long as he was in
the country. Oh my god, the

1176
01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:32.560
promoter politely declines, suggested to be
better all around if I remained with the

1177
01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:34.520
other wrestlers. As much as it
made sense to us, it had the

1178
01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:40.359
opposite effect to the Soviet ambassador.
The ambassador replied with indignation to the promoter's

1179
01:24:40.359 --> 01:24:42.960
declining of his offer. His refusal
and mine as it was inferred, was

1180
01:24:43.000 --> 01:24:46.960
an insult to him. The Russian. You will have this man, this

1181
01:24:48.199 --> 01:24:51.920
Russian wrestler. You will bring him
to me. You will bring him.

1182
01:24:51.960 --> 01:24:59.319
He will he will bowled down before
me, It's exactly, and he will

1183
01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:01.680
stay. This guy is, this
random guy is going to bow down before

1184
01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:09.399
me, and he will declare himself
to be the true Russian champion of the

1185
01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:17.720
world. And then he will stay
with me in my room. Oh,

1186
01:25:17.840 --> 01:25:23.000
now I see what this is.
And we will not sleep. We will

1187
01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:28.600
just sit in chair. We will
sit in We will just sit in chair.

1188
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:33.079
We will sit in chair, and
we will drink vodka and we will

1189
01:25:33.159 --> 01:25:38.720
just look at each other until the
sun rises. And this is what true

1190
01:25:38.840 --> 01:25:45.359
Russian does. This collision in Korea. But it gets kind of tense,

1191
01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:49.000
and he says they don't want to
upset the emissary assigned to the country,

1192
01:25:49.159 --> 01:25:54.640
So the promoters with the ambassador and
it's at this point, according to call

1193
01:25:54.680 --> 01:25:57.800
Off, the promoter actually explained that
this guy isn't really a Russian. He's

1194
01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:02.960
from Minnesota. What do you mean
Minnesota? What is this Minnesota? What

1195
01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:10.800
do you talk about like a co
the Minnesota is like an American drink Minnesota?

1196
01:26:10.920 --> 01:26:14.439
What is this? Call mini?
Is this like a mini mouse?

1197
01:26:15.000 --> 01:26:19.119
Mini? We are you talking yet
this Walt Disney? Are you referencing Walt

1198
01:26:19.159 --> 01:26:23.920
Disney Mini mouse soda? Is that
what this is? Some kind of marketing

1199
01:26:24.439 --> 01:26:29.680
franchising bullshit? Yeah? Great question? Is that what this is some kind

1200
01:26:29.720 --> 01:26:33.600
of marketing franchising bullshit? He says, wasn't this around the time the first

1201
01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:40.720
McDonald's opened in Russia. Maybe are
you talking? Is this new thing you're

1202
01:26:40.760 --> 01:26:44.039
bringing over from the United States?
You make McDonald's and then you bring over

1203
01:26:44.199 --> 01:26:48.159
Walt Disney? Are you doing?
Is this what you're doing? Are you

1204
01:26:48.279 --> 01:26:53.960
planning? Is this is this?
Man? An insurrectionist could ask you a

1205
01:26:54.000 --> 01:27:00.119
simple question. Is it Walt Disney? Push? Brother? Are you talking?

1206
01:27:00.199 --> 01:27:06.640
Bolts me? Push in Russia?
Ask him? Ask him? If

1207
01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:11.560
ask him if they're gonna put the
title on a Russian? Dude? Are

1208
01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:17.359
you putting? Do do you have
balls to put the title on Russian?

1209
01:27:18.520 --> 01:27:24.479
Huh? Is that what is going
on here? Not? Do you have

1210
01:27:24.760 --> 01:27:29.159
the balls? Do you have balls
to put the title on a Russian?

1211
01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:33.239
When the ambassador and the promoter Matt, the promoter explained that I wasn't really

1212
01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:36.239
a Russian. The first the ambassador
didn't believe him, But the more he

1213
01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:41.239
insisted that Nikita Kolov was just to
Givemick, the more incredulous the ambassador became.

1214
01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:44.520
If he is indeed a Russian,
he must stay at the embassy,

1215
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:51.239
voy demanded. And if he is
not, as you say, see CCCP

1216
01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:57.039
on his headband in Singlet. The
promoter did finally convince him that Nikita Kolov

1217
01:27:57.119 --> 01:27:59.359
was just a character, but even
then the ambassador did not like it.

1218
01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:02.560
He took it as a tremendous personal
insult, as well as one to his

1219
01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:08.279
country. He demanded that any pictures
of me with wrestling gear bearing the CCCP

1220
01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.159
initials be removed immediately. The promoter
explained that he would do everything he could

1221
01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:15.000
honor the ambassador's request, but he
had spent tens of thousands of dollars promoting

1222
01:28:15.039 --> 01:28:17.880
the arrival of his wrestlers, and
without the posters, the tour would be

1223
01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:21.159
a disaster. Not only he but
the cold Weight would not only be embarrassed,

1224
01:28:21.359 --> 01:28:25.640
but possibly could lose a lot of
money. I will tell you something

1225
01:28:25.800 --> 01:28:28.760
right now. Number one, do
we know for sure this man not the

1226
01:28:28.880 --> 01:28:32.960
Russian? Because I think if we
have not taken some kind of DNA taste,

1227
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:36.479
that we've taken DNA tast on this
man, so we know he's not

1228
01:28:36.600 --> 01:28:45.840
the Russian. Huh. I mean, if I know what the Russian paranoia

1229
01:28:45.960 --> 01:28:49.520
like. They probably were even more
convinced he was actually Russian when they told

1230
01:28:49.600 --> 01:28:57.279
him he wasn't. Well, CIA
say not Russian? Yeah, Russian?

1231
01:28:57.800 --> 01:29:00.119
I see. So the American,
the Americans saying that the Russian is not

1232
01:29:00.199 --> 01:29:04.479
the Russian. That sounds very American, is right? Is this this disinformation

1233
01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:09.960
you always accuse us of, but
actually using yourself, what is it?

1234
01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:15.960
You know? I'd sense I sense
a truckload bullshit, is what I'd sense.

1235
01:29:16.680 --> 01:29:23.479
Oh, that's just the ring.
So Collapse says that Jim Crockett had

1236
01:29:23.520 --> 01:29:30.159
to hire someone to block out the
CCCP on all pictures of the wait because

1237
01:29:30.159 --> 01:29:33.319
I will tell you this. If
this man not to Russian, if this

1238
01:29:33.479 --> 01:29:43.079
man not Russian, and he'd bear
CCCP insignia on this costume, I will

1239
01:29:43.159 --> 01:29:50.199
tell you this. I will talk
to President of Russia and we will send

1240
01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:59.119
nuclear bombs to America. You do
not promote fake Russian with your fake sport

1241
01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:12.960
and get away with it. I
will find you destroyed nuclear weapons, pumped

1242
01:30:13.000 --> 01:30:23.840
your American ass. I mean,
hey, let's have the laugh that he

1243
01:30:23.920 --> 01:30:29.520
doesn't laugh the whole time, and
then he that's fucking creepy. Four minutes

1244
01:30:29.560 --> 01:30:33.720
twenty seven seconds, keats Tommy rich
here it's super brawl one and he's got

1245
01:30:33.800 --> 01:30:36.479
an egg under his right eye.
So I guess Richard, one of richards

1246
01:30:36.479 --> 01:30:42.479
shots got through yep, and and
we get do we get a? Do

1247
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:45.279
we do we get a? Did
we get an? We know? No?

1248
01:30:45.439 --> 01:30:54.720
Nikita colof cock presentation at this one
right now? Ivergot about that his

1249
01:30:54.920 --> 01:31:00.319
cock stayed put in this match.
I didn't Tommy Rich the key to call

1250
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:05.640
us hog. I look at it, I look at him. They see

1251
01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:10.920
your Russian penis. So like question, what does P on end of CCCP

1252
01:31:11.039 --> 01:31:17.000
actually stand for? It means is
ahead cock penis? What is it?

1253
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:24.760
You say? Cock penis? That's
an I had CCCP cc cock penis.

1254
01:31:28.760 --> 01:31:32.399
The first two sees mean nothing.
The last see in the PM cock penis

1255
01:31:34.319 --> 01:31:43.600
your CIA killed Kennedy, r CCP
r c CCP killed the many people,

1256
01:31:44.600 --> 01:31:51.279
many women get pummeled by CCCP.
I pummel whom I would that? Why

1257
01:31:51.319 --> 01:31:57.840
would he volunteer that? At that
moment? Not as buttoned up as we'd

1258
01:31:57.880 --> 01:32:03.800
like to thank the KGB. First, I've think of my CCCP and my

1259
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:12.079
pommel women with it, and they
come back for more. My big Russian

1260
01:32:12.239 --> 01:32:24.640
cock. All right, there's the
memoir title, My Big Russian Cock and

1261
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:30.079
a Russian Ambassador A Story of a
Russians, A life of ambassador ship,

1262
01:32:30.760 --> 01:32:36.079
My Big Russian Cock, A life
of ambassador ship. They get a picture

1263
01:32:36.079 --> 01:32:41.119
of him like shaking like the Kuwaiti
President's hand of whatever, and you know

1264
01:32:41.279 --> 01:32:45.600
me, I would then insist that
the book not make a single reference to

1265
01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:50.239
his cock. Yes, never gets
around me explaining why this is the title

1266
01:32:50.279 --> 01:32:58.479
of the book talks about it.
Oh fuck, like picture picture of the

1267
01:32:58.520 --> 01:33:01.840
movie You've got mail with Tom and
Meg Ryan. I would want to call

1268
01:33:01.960 --> 01:33:15.399
that movie French toasts in the fireplace
and never explain it. We're calling something

1269
01:33:15.520 --> 01:33:24.920
like The Rough in the Wild.
That's good. Yes, I like one

1270
01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:29.479
that's not a head scratch. It
just gets the totally false impression Tom Hanks

1271
01:33:29.520 --> 01:33:34.239
and Meg Ryan in because sometimes love
is in unexpected mailboxes. The Rough and

1272
01:33:34.359 --> 01:33:38.840
the Wild and the Wild were sitting
there drink Coming Soon, drinking coffee.

1273
01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:43.039
I'm like the village, you know, The Rough and the Wild rated acts

1274
01:33:46.880 --> 01:33:56.680
Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan, The
Rough and the Wild Coming Soon. I

1275
01:33:56.760 --> 01:34:00.399
think I just found a new genre. You've that brilliant Home Alone parody years

1276
01:34:00.399 --> 01:34:04.079
ago, the trailer, you know, but instead of like trying to edit

1277
01:34:04.159 --> 01:34:08.159
the trailer together and going through all
that work to make it look like it's

1278
01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:11.359
a horror movie, what you do
is you take the actual original trailer,

1279
01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:15.359
and you just put a menacing voice
over on it, but not to the

1280
01:34:15.520 --> 01:34:18.840
very very end, my goodness.
But the whole thing I can watch.

1281
01:34:21.359 --> 01:34:27.720
He's watching the trailer as it's presented, and at the very end, it's

1282
01:34:27.760 --> 01:34:32.000
like the trailer for like Pleasantville.
At the end, it's like ice Blood,

1283
01:34:34.039 --> 01:34:40.800
a story, a story of medieval
conquest. William H. Macy and

1284
01:34:40.840 --> 01:34:45.760
the fifties. Where's that guy?
Is he alive? Did he die?

1285
01:34:45.319 --> 01:34:48.640
He's alive. He's alive. Money? Did he ever do something? Creepy?

1286
01:34:48.680 --> 01:34:50.279
Am? I not supposed to like
him? Why do I feel like

1287
01:34:50.359 --> 01:34:56.600
he did something? He didn't?
But U his wife? His wife was

1288
01:34:56.720 --> 01:35:00.600
part of that that college scandal.
Yeah yeah, yeah, years back.

1289
01:35:00.800 --> 01:35:04.560
I don't think she was as bad
as the full house woman whatever her name

1290
01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:13.600
is. Lori Laughlin's poster child for
it for sure. Yeah yeah, well

1291
01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:15.279
you know yeah, And they were
all part of that Get your daughter.

1292
01:35:15.359 --> 01:35:17.880
I don't know why I'm toxic.
I don't really want to go to college,

1293
01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:21.840
but I want people to pay.
I want other people to pay for

1294
01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:29.199
my college experience, kind of a
layouts. I don't want to go,

1295
01:35:29.600 --> 01:35:30.800
but I want people to pay for
it anyway, in case I decide I

1296
01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:33.319
do want to go. I don't
think I want to college at all,

1297
01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:38.399
and then she gets into Harvard.
But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna

1298
01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:41.520
have people. I'm gonna pay people. I make so much money as an

1299
01:35:41.560 --> 01:35:45.239
influencer. I'm gonna pay people to
take my classes for me. It's fine,

1300
01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:50.840
and you know, so I will
be like valedictorian. But I'm not

1301
01:35:50.880 --> 01:35:56.880
gonna go to class, and why
bother? I do want to go for

1302
01:35:56.920 --> 01:36:03.439
the football games. I go to
the football games because I usually get late

1303
01:36:03.560 --> 01:36:09.640
afterwards exactly like, who's fucking who
about that shit? It's college football games?

1304
01:36:10.359 --> 01:36:14.640
Getting back. Everyone gets plasted,
so everyone has plausible deniability about the

1305
01:36:14.680 --> 01:36:19.159
absolutely right fucking debauchery that goes on
afterwards. I really wasn't expecting to get

1306
01:36:19.319 --> 01:36:24.479
fucked. But WHOA, You're talking
a stadium of eight thousand co eds and

1307
01:36:24.520 --> 01:36:29.520
hooded sweatshirts. You don't think it's
going down horny co eds? All right,

1308
01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:32.239
there's not one of them that isn't
horny. I mean, you're talking

1309
01:36:32.319 --> 01:36:36.439
sixty thousand people with starry night van
Go posters on their wall, getting absolutely

1310
01:36:36.600 --> 01:36:44.399
dared out. I don't know what
the fuck you want, I'm going to

1311
01:36:44.439 --> 01:36:49.600
say beyond that, but that's where
I'm gonna leave it. Fucking just roughest,

1312
01:36:49.720 --> 01:36:56.520
fucking sex with these college students afterwards, especially if they win, they

1313
01:36:56.600 --> 01:37:00.760
win the game. Oh man,
that's even more like your zone. It's

1314
01:37:00.800 --> 01:37:05.319
a danger zone, like standing behind
like Pat McAfee on the college game day.

1315
01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:12.600
No, it's like fucking spring break
every Saturday. Oh, exactly,

1316
01:37:12.880 --> 01:37:30.239
pounding away, pounding, the slapping
of flesh on flesh. Oh, for

1317
01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:34.520
those who need a little more.
For those who are audio visual learners,

1318
01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:40.960
how does that sound again? Not
the sound of the slapping the voice was

1319
01:37:41.039 --> 01:37:50.640
It sounds like a twenty six to
seven win? Am I right? It

1320
01:37:50.680 --> 01:37:58.439
sounds like the spread on that one
football. Oh my god, buddy,

1321
01:37:58.520 --> 01:38:03.359
did you take a big drag on
the body before we got it? She's

1322
01:38:03.439 --> 01:38:08.439
hunger, she's their steep, buddy. She reached out on she snapped Anyboddy,

1323
01:38:08.560 --> 01:38:10.600
take a look. For some reason, it's like a hockey player.

1324
01:38:10.600 --> 01:38:13.800
It's this awesome guy. I don't
know. I've see him the reels.

1325
01:38:13.840 --> 01:38:16.560
I don't know who he is.
He does like this, like, yeah,

1326
01:38:16.760 --> 01:38:20.640
he's just looking hilarious. He says
that voice like a partying like Jock

1327
01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:27.720
Moron. Like, oh, all
right, anyway, Jared says, his

1328
01:38:27.760 --> 01:38:30.960
colleague Tony Shivanni is standing by with
a very interesting interview. Truly one of

1329
01:38:31.000 --> 01:38:35.079
the most flamboyant wrestlers you'll ever see. Johnny be Bad is making his WCW

1330
01:38:35.319 --> 01:38:40.560
debut appearance here. Yes, he
is on the Rampa. Of course,

1331
01:38:40.680 --> 01:38:42.960
you've told the story many times.
Johnny be a Bad, a brainchild of

1332
01:38:43.079 --> 01:38:45.520
Dusty Rhodes. They had hired Mark
Merrow to come in with his limited wrestling

1333
01:38:45.520 --> 01:38:48.640
experiences boxing background, and she and
Dusty looks a him of the monitors.

1334
01:38:49.319 --> 01:38:51.439
Does he look like Johnny? Does
he look a little Richard to you?

1335
01:38:53.079 --> 01:38:56.680
Of course you have to say yes. He said he look a little Richard,

1336
01:38:56.720 --> 01:38:59.279
Daddy, you know what I'm talking
about, Little Richard. I think

1337
01:38:59.279 --> 01:39:00.880
he looked a little your baby.
We're going with it. I think we're

1338
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:03.359
gonna make him little Richard Eddy.
That's the end of it for him.

1339
01:39:03.359 --> 01:39:08.760
And he's with Teddy Long in the
early days here. Yes, yellow dew

1340
01:39:08.880 --> 01:39:11.000
Rag And they said, we've heard
a lot about this guy, and Dusty

1341
01:39:11.039 --> 01:39:16.920
says he's flatboyant. Theodore along quite
a purveyor of great wrestlers. And this

1342
01:39:17.119 --> 01:39:21.600
guy has flamboyant or flamboyne in the
word for it. Brother, I mean

1343
01:39:21.680 --> 01:39:26.520
he rock and rolled through and through. He looks putty to me, reminds

1344
01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:29.880
me of myself to a little bit. How with a little flamboyne. I

1345
01:39:30.000 --> 01:39:31.319
like to hear him talk. I
can't wait to hear this day. Brother.

1346
01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:35.880
He looks out a bold magazine.
Look at him. It's questing deepit.

1347
01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:41.319
He's got a left hand like a
rocket dog. The Ebbony Einstein,

1348
01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:45.600
Theodore r A Long. They have
found another sham. I'm in the wrestling

1349
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:53.359
world of life here, the wrestling
world of life. The wrestling world of

1350
01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:57.000
life, is what he said,
Dusty Rubinhoff on Jim there. Yeah.

1351
01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:01.319
Uh, the the Ebony Einstein.
So yeah, yeah, no, not

1352
01:40:01.479 --> 01:40:05.399
a problem, not a problem at
all, except tons of problems. You

1353
01:40:05.479 --> 01:40:12.159
can't just be the Einstein of wrestling. I mean also flamboyant. Flamboyant meaning

1354
01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:15.439
oh yeah, well he's thinking.
When he was like you know, when

1355
01:40:15.520 --> 01:40:17.880
you see him against Graham in New
York and the late seventies, and he

1356
01:40:18.000 --> 01:40:24.279
had the big spark le's on and
everything in those wild outfits, and I

1357
01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:26.600
was flamboyant all right, because when
he first said it, he reminds me

1358
01:40:26.680 --> 01:40:30.960
of me. I'm like thinking,
what the dusty business out doing bunk house

1359
01:40:30.039 --> 01:40:33.199
matches, and I think, well, actually, he also would come out

1360
01:40:33.199 --> 01:40:38.079
on TBS with full mink coats on
and shit like that. I mean,

1361
01:40:38.279 --> 01:40:43.720
I guess, but like you know, it's yeah, I have I have

1362
01:40:43.840 --> 01:40:49.520
issues with the way that they portrayed
Johnny me bad as the as the you

1363
01:40:49.600 --> 01:40:53.640
know, the evil, the bad
the gay bad guy. I mean,

1364
01:40:53.760 --> 01:40:57.960
it's weird. Was he a heel? I mean he was for a while,

1365
01:40:58.079 --> 01:41:00.520
I mean, and they played it
up as being I remember, I

1366
01:41:00.560 --> 01:41:03.239
remember what was it? Maybe how
will we having ninety one? Sure?

1367
01:41:04.239 --> 01:41:10.720
Maybe where it was very clearly he
was a bad guy because he was gay.

1368
01:41:11.960 --> 01:41:14.600
Yeah, well clearly there's like to
heal here with Teddy. But it's

1369
01:41:14.840 --> 01:41:18.159
anytime I think I have a WCW
and I'm forgetting when he's a baby face,

1370
01:41:18.359 --> 01:41:21.479
I always think of, right,
I always think of after that,

1371
01:41:21.600 --> 01:41:26.319
like ninety one. After ninety one, I feel like they made him baby

1372
01:41:26.359 --> 01:41:28.800
face and he was baby face for
the rest of the run. Yeah.

1373
01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:32.239
Interesting, So that I guess wasn't
the initial idea, says Teddy. Teddy

1374
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:34.520
says he's here for two things,
to make sure a Ron Simmons gets taken

1375
01:41:34.520 --> 01:41:38.359
out tonight number two. Pn News
has been talking about how he's the rap

1376
01:41:38.439 --> 01:41:41.600
master while I'm the godfather of soul. I don't know why they're talking about

1377
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:44.000
pan News. He's nowhere to be
found in this show. I don't I

1378
01:41:44.039 --> 01:41:47.640
don't know why we ever need to
talk about fucking that's true. To be

1379
01:41:47.720 --> 01:41:50.319
Bad says po News is a big, old, ugly guy. It's going

1380
01:41:50.359 --> 01:41:53.479
to be a blessing to teach you
a lesson. So I guess that's going

1381
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:57.760
to be his first program. The
makeup is caked on Mark Marrow's face caked.

1382
01:41:58.079 --> 01:42:00.680
Oh, I know, I know
it's Yeah, it's almost like his

1383
01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:03.399
face is really that's how much he's
got on, right, I mean,

1384
01:42:03.479 --> 01:42:09.760
he's got like fucking Queen Elizabeth the
first makeup you know. Daddy says,

1385
01:42:09.960 --> 01:42:15.640
be a Bad's he's a real man. Yeah, and he's gonna be yeah

1386
01:42:15.960 --> 01:42:18.640
and get belong for all the flaggirls. Find out you can look, sure

1387
01:42:18.760 --> 01:42:21.720
can't touch and tells Bad he loves
him, and tells Tony not to put

1388
01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:25.319
his hands on him, and Bad
says, I'm not I'm so pretty.

1389
01:42:25.359 --> 01:42:28.039
I should have been born a little
girl. He says, I'm a bad

1390
01:42:28.119 --> 01:42:32.439
man. He says twice. Yeah. He even tries to have an accent.

1391
01:42:32.520 --> 01:42:34.520
He kind of tries to have a
little bit of job talk to him.

1392
01:42:34.560 --> 01:42:38.680
That's I don't appreciate. I don't
know why everybody, I know Dusty's

1393
01:42:38.680 --> 01:42:43.600
booking, but not everybody has to
jive talk, right. Everyone's trying to

1394
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:48.319
do some version of that. Jr. Says he's a bad man and does.

1395
01:42:48.359 --> 01:42:50.359
He says he took flamboyance a little
bit over the line, and he

1396
01:42:50.399 --> 01:42:53.920
didn't look like he's supposed to look. But he's got a hard left hand

1397
01:42:54.039 --> 01:42:57.159
and if he if he does,
he's got to be a man. A

1398
01:42:57.359 --> 01:43:00.199
man has a hard left hand,
I've according to Dusty Rose, and he's

1399
01:43:00.199 --> 01:43:02.359
looking forward to him. In versus
PN News, Dusty smacking his lips big

1400
01:43:02.439 --> 01:43:08.239
time. There h This is where
they got at the beginning for gold Dust.

1401
01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:11.960
Here Dusty's own booking on the same
show as yeah right, yeah exactly,

1402
01:43:13.199 --> 01:43:17.359
so now out next from Austin,
Texas. This is the natural Dustin

1403
01:43:17.439 --> 01:43:23.960
Rhodes and sadly not the this is
the legendary Dustin Rhodes. By the way,

1404
01:43:24.039 --> 01:43:27.279
let's not forget that he's legendary now
no no, no, no,

1405
01:43:27.479 --> 01:43:32.800
back in im a last last week
with eight legendary dust I do. I'm

1406
01:43:32.880 --> 01:43:40.720
I'm disappointed that he doesn't have the
natural theme yet he's a natural natural oh

1407
01:43:41.760 --> 01:43:47.279
post slam jam, yeah, yep, uh god, this is the push.

1408
01:43:47.359 --> 01:43:51.239
This is Dusty just you know,
bald faced league pushing his son,

1409
01:43:51.359 --> 01:43:56.520
seeing how far he can take him. And I heard something on Conrad's podcast

1410
01:43:56.560 --> 01:44:02.479
about how there was talk about versus
Dustin at WrestleMania nine, and then Hogan

1411
01:44:02.520 --> 01:44:05.640
balked at working with him and he
went to what. I was like,

1412
01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:09.119
what the fight? I had never
heard that one before, but Tony was

1413
01:44:09.199 --> 01:44:13.199
nodding along with it. I was
like, what the fuck really with Dustin

1414
01:44:13.520 --> 01:44:15.399
and Wrestlemanian nine? Nine? Yeah, that's what he said. Nine.

1415
01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:19.640
Maybe he meant eight or maybe he
said eight. And I heard nins nowhere

1416
01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:25.119
maybe seven. He's nowhere near the
fucking company this time, not at all,

1417
01:44:25.479 --> 01:44:27.000
but maybe they made a play to
bring him in. You know,

1418
01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:30.439
they would get him in ninety five. So yeah, that's true. They

1419
01:44:30.479 --> 01:44:32.079
had enough. Vincel loved nothing more
that would make a hire that fucked with

1420
01:44:32.159 --> 01:44:36.479
Dusty. I think we've proven that. Yeah, right right, So yeah,

1421
01:44:36.520 --> 01:44:40.560
there it is Dustin as the natural
starting to make in roads here with

1422
01:44:40.720 --> 01:44:44.239
his dad holding the book, leather
jacket USA flag on it for the Natural,

1423
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:45.880
some sparklers on both sides of the
ramp for him. Here's this.

1424
01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:50.039
Dustin had a big meeting this morning
with the York Foundation. Oh, they

1425
01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:54.720
were trying to recruit him quite heavily. I wonder who took the lead in

1426
01:44:54.760 --> 01:44:59.720
those negotiations, boss, Yeah,
right, ah. They were playing up

1427
01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:03.159
that the York Foundation was interested in
recruiting Dustin Rhodes. And look this is

1428
01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:09.079
where Dustin meets Marlena. You know
she's there is Alexandra Yorke. Of course,

1429
01:45:09.159 --> 01:45:12.920
Terry Boatwright. She was also the
makeup artist for WCW, so she

1430
01:45:13.039 --> 01:45:15.039
probably put all that cake on Johnny
b Bad's face earlier in the night.

1431
01:45:16.119 --> 01:45:18.880
Yeah, maybe some more too.
And they played it up big in the

1432
01:45:18.880 --> 01:45:24.199
weeks leading into this show that they
were making entreaties to have her come in.

1433
01:45:24.319 --> 01:45:29.520
And on an episode of I Think
It's pro may have aired on Worldwide

1434
01:45:29.560 --> 01:45:32.800
as well, Dustin plants a big
kiss on Alexander Yorke when she approaches Oh,

1435
01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:38.960
yepp. So this is like we're
seeing the gold as Marlena relationship happen

1436
01:45:39.079 --> 01:45:42.239
in real time, and wow,
that's kind of crazy. It is crazy

1437
01:45:42.359 --> 01:45:45.680
because you think about how Dusty was
sort of like cold to the idea and

1438
01:45:45.359 --> 01:45:50.159
him being not necessarily over the moon
about Dustin and Marlena getting together was part

1439
01:45:50.199 --> 01:45:55.520
of the reason for that years long
distance between Dustin and his father and at

1440
01:45:55.520 --> 01:45:59.279
a coincide over them going to WWF. It's wild to think that it happened

1441
01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:02.880
under Dusty's watching WCW. You know
that he had the book. I think

1442
01:46:03.239 --> 01:46:13.279
this relationship Foster, you think you
think do you think Dusty either fucked or

1443
01:46:13.319 --> 01:46:18.720
wanted to fuck Marlena? That's a
good question, baby Dollar style. Yeah.

1444
01:46:18.800 --> 01:46:21.039
And then when she wasn't interested,
he just acted like she was like

1445
01:46:21.119 --> 01:46:24.399
the biggest piece of shot in the
world. I don't know, and he's

1446
01:46:24.439 --> 01:46:29.760
like, fucking yeah, possible.
But here's Alexander Yorke trying to woo Dustin

1447
01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:32.439
Rhodes into the York Foundation ahead of
Super Bowl won. Of course, eventually

1448
01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:35.760
she'd succeed, but on this night, Dustin rejects her with a big,

1449
01:46:35.880 --> 01:46:40.640
long kiss that leaves her a week
at the knees. No, here we

1450
01:46:40.760 --> 01:46:50.600
go. Now, Alexander's got the
she got the micro fuck, mister Rose,

1451
01:46:54.199 --> 01:47:00.199
this is your very last opportunity to
become a member of the York Foundation.

1452
01:47:02.079 --> 01:47:10.520
How hold in my hand a contract
that is more lucrative than any any

1453
01:47:10.600 --> 01:47:15.640
professional athlete has ever seen. I
want you to take it, sign it,

1454
01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:19.359
and when you do, you'll be
a member of the most exclusive,

1455
01:47:19.760 --> 01:47:25.880
prestigious foundation in all of wrestlings.
Do you realize how hard it is to

1456
01:47:25.960 --> 01:47:30.399
become a member of my foundation?
Sign it and sign it now, mister

1457
01:47:30.520 --> 01:47:39.479
Rhoades, Well, my goodness,
there's a contract. He's taking the contract

1458
01:47:41.520 --> 01:47:54.640
of the York Foundation, right on
the verge of Super Bowl fust lunch the

1459
01:47:54.720 --> 01:48:04.439
contract. I saw it right up, mister Rouch, not going if only,

1460
01:48:04.479 --> 01:48:08.680
if only he didn't tear up the
pre nup as well, I know,

1461
01:48:08.920 --> 01:48:12.680
right, Okay. Dusty says in
commentary that he had the meeting,

1462
01:48:12.760 --> 01:48:15.079
but he did meet up with his
dad later on, and so Dad,

1463
01:48:15.119 --> 01:48:16.800
I don't want to do this to
myself. So Dusty says he's proud of

1464
01:48:16.840 --> 01:48:21.439
him for rejecting the advances. Here
we go, Here we go, yep,

1465
01:48:21.640 --> 01:48:27.960
and here we get that that uh
Dallas rip off theme. That's right,

1466
01:49:09.960 --> 01:49:15.560
works for me. It's rather lovely. It's like it almost at the

1467
01:49:15.560 --> 01:49:20.560
time, sounds like that that Christmas
song there. Yeah, uh, the

1468
01:49:20.600 --> 01:49:24.199
fun I can't think of the name
of it. Do they know it's Christmas

1469
01:49:24.239 --> 01:49:27.920
time at all? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Feed the world Yep,

1470
01:49:28.600 --> 01:49:31.359
it's a good call. So Gary
Michael Copett introduces the newly elected Board of

1471
01:49:31.399 --> 01:49:34.640
Directors of the York Foundation for the
first quarter of nineteen ninety one. He

1472
01:49:34.680 --> 01:49:39.359
says, I guess that's quite a
foundation. They elect a new board every

1473
01:49:39.439 --> 01:49:43.520
quarter. That's not typically how it
works. That's how it works in fake

1474
01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:45.800
sports. But it's four stiffs and
suits standing out there. They're supposed to

1475
01:49:45.800 --> 01:49:47.920
be the board of directors. They're
just you know, nobodies. No one

1476
01:49:47.960 --> 01:49:50.279
knows who they are. And then
the executive director of the York Foundation,

1477
01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:54.000
Alexandra She walks along with the head
of Security, mister Hughes and her computer.

1478
01:49:54.079 --> 01:49:56.119
Of course, she's got it folded
in her arms, clutching it.

1479
01:49:56.560 --> 01:49:59.720
And Terry Taylor, the computerized man
of the nineteen nineties. What a gimmick.

1480
01:50:00.319 --> 01:50:05.520
Oh my god. They can't fucking
I can't with his fucking Terrence Taylor.

1481
01:50:05.760 --> 01:50:08.880
This is after last time we were
with you, we talked about how

1482
01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:13.239
Dusty unceremonistly fired Terry Taylor in nineteen
eighty eight for imitating him in the locker

1483
01:50:13.359 --> 01:50:15.760
room. Yeah, so we got
him back here. Just Jr. Says

1484
01:50:15.840 --> 01:50:18.560
Dustin is perfected the use of the
bulldog headlock. They look over the computer

1485
01:50:19.119 --> 01:50:23.960
with that thing with that thin screen
that they used to have, and Dustin

1486
01:50:24.680 --> 01:50:26.920
Dusty says, told me this morning, Dad, I don't know anything about

1487
01:50:26.920 --> 01:50:32.399
a computer. I just know what
you taught me. Dusty didn't tell you,

1488
01:50:32.760 --> 01:50:39.279
son that a computer took your place, didn't I didn't tell him that

1489
01:50:39.479 --> 01:50:45.520
that that I computa took his job. There's parts of the you can find

1490
01:50:45.279 --> 01:50:48.920
w CBTV broadcast that refer to this
as a computer match or a computerized match.

1491
01:50:49.840 --> 01:50:54.720
God, and I don't know what
to say about that. What is

1492
01:50:54.800 --> 01:50:58.159
it? What is it a software
match? I would Dustin Dusty want to

1493
01:50:58.159 --> 01:51:01.319
associate them with Dallas when moving the
Crocket office to Dallas was the fucking beginning

1494
01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:05.880
of the end, right, I
don't know what the computerized match is.

1495
01:51:05.960 --> 01:51:08.760
I mean, you know, for
those who don't know, haven't heard us

1496
01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:11.439
talk about this, You go to
ringside you look at this computer that Alexandre

1497
01:51:11.560 --> 01:51:14.920
York has, and it's supposed to
be giving the guys the best next move

1498
01:51:15.000 --> 01:51:17.720
to do based on it. I
just don't understand how how a computer that's

1499
01:51:17.760 --> 01:51:23.439
small, because it's basically just like
a weird old school like word processor,

1500
01:51:24.119 --> 01:51:30.680
And I don't understand how she like, how this small fucking thing in nineteen

1501
01:51:30.800 --> 01:51:38.439
ninety one running off this modeling right, has enough fucking storage and and like

1502
01:51:39.039 --> 01:51:44.319
uh like it's ram and speed or
whatever to be able to do anything that

1503
01:51:44.520 --> 01:51:49.000
that complicated without being on the internet. No less right, no Wi Fi

1504
01:51:49.199 --> 01:51:56.439
back then, not even close.
No, it's all on prem Yeah,

1505
01:51:57.560 --> 01:52:02.920
ECC, we're going in the Prodigy
days. Oh Jesus So Dustin Rhodes versus

1506
01:52:03.039 --> 01:52:06.520
Terry Taylor here, lock up Dustin
and the magnum Ta boots that tells you

1507
01:52:06.640 --> 01:52:11.680
where his father sees him being positioned. Waste lock They scrambled. Dustin gets

1508
01:52:11.720 --> 01:52:15.439
some escape points on that early exchange, and Taylor consults the computer about what

1509
01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:18.159
to do next. Dusty says the
thing a computer can't tell you what's in

1510
01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:28.319
your heart, and that's Dustin Rhodes, the natural nat true natrue. Dusty

1511
01:52:28.399 --> 01:52:31.760
definitely getting anxieties about the computer rage, that's for sure. Oh you know,

1512
01:52:31.960 --> 01:52:38.159
you know, damn well that that
that that that he was just petrified

1513
01:52:39.199 --> 01:52:43.920
of of, you know once once
the fucking internet came about. He's just

1514
01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:47.840
totally horrified, totally. Taylor's knocked
down, covered for a one, and

1515
01:52:47.920 --> 01:52:50.920
walked back over to the computer for
more consultation. Dusty says, the computer

1516
01:52:51.000 --> 01:52:56.880
says one offensive move and how you
need to get your breath and get the

1517
01:52:56.960 --> 01:53:00.600
next one. Uh, that seems
to be the pace here. Duke's up.

1518
01:53:00.680 --> 01:53:03.439
Dusty says, he stopped intimidating that
big old boy. Oh, Dusty

1519
01:53:03.479 --> 01:53:08.680
says, he stopped intimidating that big
old boy Dustin when Dustin was only twelve.

1520
01:53:09.079 --> 01:53:11.159
I don't know what that's supposed to
be a reference to, But okay,

1521
01:53:11.960 --> 01:53:16.159
what are you beating him? And
then he's always see it's there with

1522
01:53:16.239 --> 01:53:18.239
the von Erics, it's there with
the funks, it's there with Dusty.

1523
01:53:18.439 --> 01:53:23.439
My dad used to beat me.
Therefore head fit, he had daddy,

1524
01:53:23.680 --> 01:53:26.840
I fit. My daddy beat me
baby for my I'm gonna beat you because

1525
01:53:26.880 --> 01:53:29.520
that's just the way things are done. That's the way that people, that's

1526
01:53:29.560 --> 01:53:31.800
the way that children grow up,
they get beaten by that parents and they

1527
01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:35.920
understand the respect that happened. Baby. That's the way it is. If

1528
01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:41.000
you don't physically abuse the people you
love, you don't get their respect.

1529
01:53:41.199 --> 01:53:45.000
Right, that's right. Taylor with
a hip toss off the ropes dust and

1530
01:53:45.079 --> 01:53:46.119
kicks off from his back and hits
an arm drag of his own, and

1531
01:53:46.199 --> 01:53:49.600
Dusty says, we preached that for
a long time. There doing that.

1532
01:53:49.720 --> 01:53:54.039
That series of moves to the rope's
right hand blocked and Taylor backs off and

1533
01:53:54.079 --> 01:53:59.800
gets another one, gets another reading
from the ringside computer. Here's this is

1534
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:04.960
here's here's some JR. Commenting on
about Alexander York and her computer. Miss

1535
01:54:05.039 --> 01:54:14.520
Shork the first person to actively used
computers and preparing a wrestler for a professional

1536
01:54:14.640 --> 01:54:18.479
wrestling match. If she's done it
very successfully. Of course. The funny

1537
01:54:18.560 --> 01:54:21.680
thing is after this, using a
computer to prepare wrestlers for the outcomes of

1538
01:54:21.720 --> 01:54:29.600
their matches would become commonplace later in
the decade. Yeah, right, off

1539
01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:31.359
the success, and you know,
I would say most people would be right.

1540
01:54:31.399 --> 01:54:35.479
It would be it would be using
the computer to uh to to to

1541
01:54:35.680 --> 01:54:39.840
help prepare the wrestlers for their for
the for who was winning the match.

1542
01:54:40.239 --> 01:54:43.079
It's funny a Taylor has to keep
going back to the computer because what the

1543
01:54:43.119 --> 01:54:45.560
computer is telling them to do is
not working. You might that you might

1544
01:54:45.600 --> 01:54:47.880
want to take a hint, Terrence
and just stop looking at the fucking thing

1545
01:54:47.920 --> 01:54:50.119
because you getting your eye. I
know, I don't. I don't know

1546
01:54:50.239 --> 01:54:56.039
if the computer, if if the
computations or whatever, it doesn't compute computing

1547
01:54:56.119 --> 01:54:59.439
properly, and I don't think it's
computing properly. I mean if I was

1548
01:54:59.479 --> 01:55:01.600
Alexander, New York and I was
there with a word processor at ringside that

1549
01:55:01.640 --> 01:55:04.560
actually was functioning, I'd have some
fun. I just write balls on it.

1550
01:55:04.800 --> 01:55:12.600
See what he right? Can I
see your cock? It's a lock

1551
01:55:12.680 --> 01:55:16.119
up, lock up on a hammer
lock in a back elbow lands, Jared

1552
01:55:16.159 --> 01:55:18.640
says, a York first to use
computers like he just played for us.

1553
01:55:18.680 --> 01:55:23.439
To the corner right hand of the
face and Dustin starts firing back. Dusty

1554
01:55:23.560 --> 01:55:26.680
says, Dustin learned how to throw
right hands from his uncle Dick Murdoch.

1555
01:55:27.720 --> 01:55:30.359
Whooping hip yep, whooping hip toss. Taylor comes up and lunges for the

1556
01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:34.000
batic elbow, but Dustin awkwardly snatches
him and guides him down to the canvas.

1557
01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:38.840
Taylor slams out of the arm drag
missus an elbow drop. Back to

1558
01:55:38.880 --> 01:55:42.640
the arm drag goes Dustin Rhodes.
They talk about how stoic mister Hughes is

1559
01:55:42.680 --> 01:55:45.920
at ringside. Taylor gets his foot
on the rope and his back to York,

1560
01:55:45.000 --> 01:55:47.319
and Jared says, they may have
over the load of that computer.

1561
01:55:49.199 --> 01:55:54.319
Maybe they's just display everything in tableau
so we can better understand it. Yeah.

1562
01:55:55.920 --> 01:56:00.800
Taylor comes in to U, goes
into the gut. Dustin tries to

1563
01:56:00.840 --> 01:56:03.760
suplex it's blocked. He tries to
suplex Dustin duston answers with one of his

1564
01:56:03.840 --> 01:56:09.199
own, very nice at vertical soup
player for two. Tackled by Dustin headlock

1565
01:56:09.239 --> 01:56:12.399
push off Dustin Duck's leap, He
ducks leap frog, losing his footing on

1566
01:56:12.399 --> 01:56:15.079
the ropes. Like Barry Windham,
here is Dustin and so in that frenzy,

1567
01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:18.880
he misses the cross body and ends
up rolling under the ropes to the

1568
01:56:18.960 --> 01:56:23.399
ramp, which is a classic Barry
Windham spot. Taylor goes out after him,

1569
01:56:23.399 --> 01:56:26.359
hot shot across the top rope.
Fans are standing in pumping fists at

1570
01:56:26.399 --> 01:56:30.760
the abuse of dustin roads. Here
Jr. Starts talking about steel cables encased

1571
01:56:30.800 --> 01:56:39.479
by rubber like normal everyday talk.
Taylor takes a breather, which Dusty says

1572
01:56:39.560 --> 01:56:43.159
was designed by that computer. That's
right. Take a look at Terry Taylor

1573
01:56:43.199 --> 01:56:45.119
over here taking a little breather.
Well, that breath was designed by that

1574
01:56:45.199 --> 01:56:47.960
computer to take that spot to take
a breath. But I don't believe it.

1575
01:56:48.079 --> 01:56:50.119
Take it, and he got a
man down. You need to go

1576
01:56:50.279 --> 01:56:55.239
for It's read he gonna go for
it. Taylor stands on the bottom.

1577
01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:57.600
I don't believe in taking it.
I don't believe in taking it. Put

1578
01:56:57.680 --> 01:57:06.840
a I come put a suggested powder
than daddy. Motherfucker fuck it. Another

1579
01:57:06.880 --> 01:57:12.960
wonderful point from Dusty Tailor kind of
stands on the time. If I'm not

1580
01:57:13.000 --> 01:57:15.560
gonna have com put it, tell
me like gotta go take a fucking leak.

1581
01:57:15.600 --> 01:57:16.680
You know what. I'm fan,
daddy, That's what I'm talking about.

1582
01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:19.319
When are they gonna start taking what
are they gonna start doing all these

1583
01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:21.680
things, baby, that we can't
even do nothing for a felt. We're

1584
01:57:21.680 --> 01:57:27.000
gonna take advantage of the opportunity that
we have with the computer to take advantage

1585
01:57:27.079 --> 01:57:30.840
Daddy, and take advantage of all
the things around up. Baby. Dusty

1586
01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:33.279
was definitely one of those guys before
he passed, of course, who would

1587
01:57:33.279 --> 01:57:38.039
always make remarks about how no one
knows how to get around anymore without GPS.

1588
01:57:38.159 --> 01:57:41.600
But in my day we have GPS, Daddy, my GPF in my

1589
01:57:41.680 --> 01:57:45.159
brain. Baby, I know every
in and out of way you do,

1590
01:57:45.880 --> 01:57:48.520
Yeah, you do. I know
all the in and out Baby. I've

1591
01:57:48.560 --> 01:57:50.920
been to all of them around the
country. Baby, I know that they

1592
01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:54.960
all, Daddy. They've been double
double double, double, triple triple.

1593
01:57:55.119 --> 01:57:57.800
Get me a thing done, Daddy. Did they have a secret menu?

1594
01:57:59.159 --> 01:58:02.600
Threat? Baby? They got about
three? I had animal style. You

1595
01:58:02.680 --> 01:58:09.199
know what I'm saying. That's that
ship. Animal style a bitch. It's

1596
01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:12.239
right with onions is what it means. By the way, if you're wondering,

1597
01:58:13.159 --> 01:58:15.159
grilled onions is what? Oh what
ship? That's what it is.

1598
01:58:15.279 --> 01:58:19.239
The grilled onions and like extra sauce. I think, oh, do they

1599
01:58:19.319 --> 01:58:21.520
lay it on a little thick Yeah, I think they lay it on.

1600
01:58:21.600 --> 01:58:25.840
I think that's what it is.
It's extra sauce and the grilled onions instead

1601
01:58:25.880 --> 01:58:32.920
of the raw onions or about the
SmackDown onions it's wondering. I'm actually more

1602
01:58:32.960 --> 01:58:41.439
concerned about the two oh five live
onions, the two OHI five Live brand

1603
01:58:41.560 --> 01:58:45.880
of entertainment. Taylor, it's so
funny, man, when they had they

1604
01:58:46.000 --> 01:58:49.319
first started as a place to,
you know, to put their high flyers

1605
01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:53.720
that they were hiring to keep away
from others, and then they started to

1606
01:58:53.760 --> 01:58:57.479
do storylines. They put the belt
on Enzo and they were doing like segments.

1607
01:58:57.800 --> 01:59:00.680
It's like, what are you guys
doing? God, it's just such

1608
01:59:00.680 --> 01:59:04.920
a fucking joke. So Taylor stands
in the bottom rope and Suplex is dusting

1609
01:59:04.960 --> 01:59:08.640
in from the rampway drops it knee
on him and gets two dust and throws

1610
01:59:08.680 --> 01:59:11.239
to the gut, but Tailer stays
on him with a big slam. With

1611
01:59:11.359 --> 01:59:14.520
a computerized game plan, gets to
the little rope and leaps into Dustin's boot,

1612
01:59:14.560 --> 01:59:16.920
who lifts a boot on the way
down. Goes Taylor Jaris's tailors.

1613
01:59:17.720 --> 01:59:20.399
His father is a physician but not
a dentist, so he's not gonna be

1614
01:59:20.399 --> 01:59:26.760
able to fix that damage. Dustin
blocks and throws Dusty's wooing as he goes

1615
01:59:26.840 --> 01:59:30.039
along. Weapon a high backdrop,
a whip and bam, a flying clothesline

1616
01:59:30.039 --> 01:59:31.399
and Taylor turns and lands with his
face on the mat. Doesn't take a

1617
01:59:31.439 --> 01:59:34.439
clean bump on that one at all, not at all, not at all.

1618
01:59:34.840 --> 01:59:39.119
Irish whipping a high inverted atomic drop
and tailor falls backwards on a cover

1619
01:59:39.439 --> 01:59:42.079
only gets one though, was a. Taylor gets his foot on the rope

1620
01:59:42.159 --> 01:59:46.520
dust and then hits his bulldog,
and Taylor sells it beautifully. York gets

1621
01:59:46.600 --> 01:59:49.680
up on the apron, distracts the
referee as dust and slaps the mat looking

1622
01:59:49.720 --> 01:59:53.800
for the count Nick Patrick. In
a couple of years, she'd fucking take

1623
01:59:53.840 --> 01:59:56.560
her fucking top off to distract the
referee. It's absolutely true. She would

1624
01:59:56.600 --> 02:00:00.159
do it on shotgun. I mean, is Nick Patrick presiding here and that

1625
02:00:00.239 --> 02:00:03.640
bode well for a clean finish?
It never does. There's never He's such

1626
02:00:03.680 --> 02:00:08.439
it. As soon as I see, you know, I'm just like,

1627
02:00:08.560 --> 02:00:11.960
oh, what we're going to do? Now? What is he gonna do?

1628
02:00:12.079 --> 02:00:15.119
Now? You know That's that's always
the case. Whenever I see that

1629
02:00:15.479 --> 02:00:21.239
stupid face and that and that fucking
that idiotic hair of his, I'm like,

1630
02:00:21.319 --> 02:00:24.520
where, you know, what the
fuck is going to happen? Now?

1631
02:00:25.840 --> 02:00:30.319
What's gonna be ruined? Think of
his face? Give his face and

1632
02:00:30.359 --> 02:00:35.760
hair and no Kenny powers, motherfucker. I know exactly. That's what I

1633
02:00:35.800 --> 02:00:40.800
was gonna say, exactly, just
standing there, useless, taller than all

1634
02:00:40.800 --> 02:00:46.079
the wrestlers, useless, he's so
useless, gets up on the fucking fraud,

1635
02:00:48.680 --> 02:01:00.000
just just a fucking loser. And
when they do do a when they

1636
02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:08.039
do do a Nickpatrick biopic, it'll
be Danny McBride playing fucking Nickpatrick. For

1637
02:01:08.159 --> 02:01:12.560
sure, that would be. It
turned out it wasn't because Sting wasn't Tan.

1638
02:01:15.880 --> 02:01:17.319
So York is on the apron,
distracts the ref is, Dustin is

1639
02:01:17.359 --> 02:01:19.720
slapping the three. Nick Patrick,
of course, is the one distracted.

1640
02:01:19.840 --> 02:01:23.880
Mister Hughes gets up on the apron
dust It goes over arguing with York now,

1641
02:01:24.560 --> 02:01:28.920
and that wouldn't be the last time
these two would argue. Taylor blindsides

1642
02:01:29.000 --> 02:01:32.119
him and Dustin answers with some right
hands, goes off on him. Dustin

1643
02:01:32.560 --> 02:01:35.920
hits the ropes, Hughes grabs him
from the apron while the ref is distracted.

1644
02:01:36.039 --> 02:01:41.279
Still, Taylor digs into Dustin from
that advantage point hard for you to

1645
02:01:42.359 --> 02:01:45.479
restrain yourself, isn't a dream?
Jr. Says he watched his injustice done

1646
02:01:45.520 --> 02:01:48.399
to his boy, Dusty. Dusty
says, I don't like this at all.

1647
02:01:49.520 --> 02:01:51.399
I know you hired me here.
I know I've been hired here to

1648
02:01:51.439 --> 02:01:54.960
do this announcing thing. But it's
hard for me to sit here and watch

1649
02:01:55.039 --> 02:01:58.640
this really nice job from Dusty because
he doesn't actually get involved. But he

1650
02:01:59.279 --> 02:02:02.000
yeah, but he sells it anyway, Like Taz does a terrific job with

1651
02:02:02.039 --> 02:02:05.399
that. When his son wrestles in
a w It's like he doesn't not acknowledge

1652
02:02:05.439 --> 02:02:10.039
it because that would be impossibly stupid. But he right, you know,

1653
02:02:10.199 --> 02:02:13.840
but he kind of like lets the
fact that he's got to stay professional,

1654
02:02:14.399 --> 02:02:16.079
like just burn right below the surface. He doesn't go over the top with

1655
02:02:16.159 --> 02:02:19.399
it, but he does a good
job of pretending he's holding a lot In

1656
02:02:20.319 --> 02:02:26.880
and Hughes. Hughes then gets a
black glove on and misses the right hand

1657
02:02:26.880 --> 02:02:30.520
and hits Taylor by mistake to a
big pop. Then Dustin Rhodes knocks down

1658
02:02:30.560 --> 02:02:38.600
mister Hughes and then and then covers
Taylor. And when he when Dustin attacks

1659
02:02:38.640 --> 02:02:41.119
mister Hughes, Dusty breaks out and
his nail him. All right, all

1660
02:02:41.199 --> 02:02:45.239
right, you know he and it's
one two, and it's three and Dustin

1661
02:02:45.319 --> 02:02:47.920
Rhodes defeats Tarn Taylor eight minutes five
seconds here at super Brawl one. Well

1662
02:02:48.000 --> 02:02:53.640
on his way now is the natural
and that's that. I think dust he

1663
02:02:53.720 --> 02:02:56.760
did a nice job on color rooting
his son on here. Yeah, I

1664
02:02:56.800 --> 02:03:00.600
think it's all right. I'll think
it was bad Dustin. He was fine.

1665
02:03:00.800 --> 02:03:02.840
Bounces immediately down the side of the
ramp. Dusty says, I know

1666
02:03:03.439 --> 02:03:05.680
what they can do with that computer, and I can't say it on the

1667
02:03:05.760 --> 02:03:11.199
air. Jared says, they always
tell you never to work with children or

1668
02:03:11.239 --> 02:03:14.399
animals. But Big Josh, and
I'm thinking, where is this going.

1669
02:03:14.640 --> 02:03:19.319
Oh my god, I don't seriously
has got two pet bears. Oh my

1670
02:03:19.640 --> 02:03:28.079
god, so much? Here here, here's here, I got, I

1671
02:03:28.239 --> 02:03:34.359
got all. We talk about Larry's
Abisco having a bow out, but then

1672
02:03:34.600 --> 02:03:39.680
here's them talking about the fucking bears
of Big Josh. I see that anytime

1673
02:03:39.720 --> 02:03:42.479
you have a stand in, anytime
you have a guy like black Bart that's

1674
02:03:42.560 --> 02:03:45.880
hungry, you're gonna see a guy
really go for it all. But Black

1675
02:03:45.920 --> 02:03:46.840
Bart's gonna be up on the gun. But I want to see these bears.

1676
02:03:46.880 --> 02:03:49.560
I've never seen two live bears come
the wrestling mat it's not like a

1677
02:03:49.640 --> 02:03:51.760
rap gripe two Live Bears. I
hope to keep on that side of the

1678
02:03:51.880 --> 02:03:55.720
ring. That was good, Jim, I was going there. He beat

1679
02:03:55.800 --> 02:03:58.159
me to it. Yeah, does. Dusty doesn't know what the fuck you're

1680
02:03:58.199 --> 02:04:00.439
talking about, but it's fine.
He doesn't what I mean? Rap group?

1681
02:04:00.479 --> 02:04:04.279
Daddy? What are you talking about? Dady? You're talking about about

1682
02:04:04.279 --> 02:04:06.880
Willie Nelson? Are you talking about
bullshit? Because there's only two choices,

1683
02:04:08.760 --> 02:04:12.359
that's right, Dad, two things
only WILLI nothing music and there's nothing else.

1684
02:04:12.439 --> 02:04:16.760
David allen Coe somebody like that.
So what's the story here. Matt

1685
02:04:16.800 --> 02:04:19.880
Bourne sat down with our video a
long time ago, late nineties I think

1686
02:04:19.960 --> 02:04:24.840
this was recorded and reflects on how
Dusty brought Big Josh to him and why

1687
02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:29.239
uh he strongly suspects Dusty hired him
in wc W in the first place,

1688
02:04:30.359 --> 02:04:34.640
Dusty who was the booker for Jim
Crockett for a while, and and uh,

1689
02:04:35.800 --> 02:04:38.960
I went down to talk to Dusty
a couple times when I was for

1690
02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:42.720
Crockett, but I guess Crockett bucked
it and it wouldn't hire me. So

1691
02:04:43.159 --> 02:04:48.640
when he took over the book for
wc W, I was told, come

1692
02:04:48.680 --> 02:04:51.399
on down when he when he's taken
over the office. So I was down

1693
02:04:51.439 --> 02:04:54.680
there and he hired me right away, you know, and I and I

1694
02:04:54.960 --> 02:04:58.279
and he told me Dustin, his
son was just starting in Texas, and

1695
02:04:58.359 --> 02:05:01.119
we became friends, and I golfing
with dust and then you know, he

1696
02:05:01.279 --> 02:05:04.880
was just learning the business and stuff. And when he hired me, A

1697
02:05:05.000 --> 02:05:08.399
Dusty told me, he, sister, it's not because you helped dust it

1698
02:05:08.439 --> 02:05:13.199
out so much Texas. That's it. But I'm gonna hire What he said

1699
02:05:13.279 --> 02:05:15.960
that I knew it was because hey, he were good to my son here,

1700
02:05:15.960 --> 02:05:18.159
and hey, you know what I
would repay. But I was the

1701
02:05:18.199 --> 02:05:21.479
first one that Dusty hired, a
W c W. And he asked me

1702
02:05:21.960 --> 02:05:27.520
Magnu and Ta was his assistant,
and he asked me, because would you

1703
02:05:27.560 --> 02:05:30.199
have a problem changing your name?
I said, I want the job.

1704
02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:33.279
You know, I needed a break. I wanted a break. I was

1705
02:05:33.319 --> 02:05:38.680
getting very frustrated in my career.
I just want to break her it was.

1706
02:05:38.760 --> 02:05:40.319
I said, no, I don't
have a problem. So I went

1707
02:05:40.399 --> 02:05:42.960
back to my hotel room and he
saw I get back to you by sc

1708
02:05:43.079 --> 02:05:45.600
I mean a couple of hours later
he called me and he told me big

1709
02:05:45.720 --> 02:05:49.399
Josh told me, you know,
the look he was looking at. So

1710
02:05:49.600 --> 02:05:57.079
I went back to Charlotte and Wendy
and gross involved with She got me my

1711
02:05:57.119 --> 02:06:00.319
whole outfit and I made my pants
and him them at the thing and got

1712
02:06:00.399 --> 02:06:02.399
the flannel shirts, got the sleeves
off. Pretty basic, you know,

1713
02:06:02.640 --> 02:06:08.560
pretty easy gimmick to to get made
up for us. So I went down

1714
02:06:08.600 --> 02:06:12.520
there to the TV taking up to
start putting my stuff on. Had the

1715
02:06:12.600 --> 02:06:15.760
axe handle. I looked, I
said, here I am. He went,

1716
02:06:16.119 --> 02:06:18.680
I looked apart, you know,
I looked like a guy came out

1717
02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:23.920
of the woods. So that was
the start of Big Josh. And it

1718
02:06:24.079 --> 02:06:26.800
was fun to do Big Josh.
You kind of got kind of boring,

1719
02:06:26.920 --> 02:06:30.600
you know, there is because I
had never been anything other than Matt Bourne

1720
02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:33.319
and I always had a wrestling background. And his idea was big Josh really

1721
02:06:33.359 --> 02:06:36.079
don't know how to wrestle. He
used to big tough guy, strong guy,

1722
02:06:36.239 --> 02:06:41.000
come out of the woods. So, you know, so I had

1723
02:06:41.039 --> 02:06:44.840
to do some other one the doc
stuff, which was fun and good for

1724
02:06:44.920 --> 02:06:48.479
me to do. That make its
little transition and away from wrestling, and

1725
02:06:48.640 --> 02:06:51.399
like I did a little long rule
stand on the guy's belly and running place

1726
02:06:51.520 --> 02:06:59.880
and you know, different stuff their
story because he helped us. All right,

1727
02:07:00.119 --> 02:07:04.279
Dustin out suddenly the phone's ringing.
That sounds like Dustin. Very very

1728
02:07:04.319 --> 02:07:06.880
talented guy was Matt Born. But
this is pretty Doink, of course.

1729
02:07:06.960 --> 02:07:12.520
And this was I remember, you
know, when I mentioned this before,

1730
02:07:12.880 --> 02:07:19.279
you know, years ago, for
the first time whenever, whenever I that

1731
02:07:19.560 --> 02:07:31.720
that fucking p WI nineteen ninety two
Year and Review issue. And they always

1732
02:07:31.760 --> 02:07:38.840
talked about who was who h you
know, they had a thing about you

1733
02:07:38.920 --> 02:07:42.119
know, what someone who someone was
known as at the beginning of the year,

1734
02:07:42.199 --> 02:07:45.479
and who they were known at if
they changed promotions or changed characters,

1735
02:07:45.520 --> 02:07:49.279
they'll let you know who they were
at the end of the year. And

1736
02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:58.119
I remember seeing that Big Josh was
the name of a guy at the beginning

1737
02:07:58.159 --> 02:08:01.479
of ninety two, I think end
of ninety two, he was known as

1738
02:08:01.640 --> 02:08:05.840
Doink the clown Wow. And I
remember being like, I don't remember.

1739
02:08:07.159 --> 02:08:11.279
That's fascinating they did. They did
do that stuff, like because they said,

1740
02:08:11.359 --> 02:08:13.279
like, you know, at the
beginning of the year, Tatanka was

1741
02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:18.439
known as Chris Chavis. At the
end of the year he was Tatanka and

1742
02:08:18.680 --> 02:08:22.680
so on and so forth. Yeah, it was a really cool little thing

1743
02:08:22.199 --> 02:08:28.199
that they did, and they listened
a bunch of wrestlers who who you know,

1744
02:08:28.560 --> 02:08:31.680
changed changed their name or changed characters
or whatever. It's interesting. And

1745
02:08:31.720 --> 02:08:35.319
I was like, I know,
I know who doink is. They're always

1746
02:08:35.319 --> 02:08:39.279
asking who is this guy who's doing
I know who he is. He's big

1747
02:08:39.520 --> 02:08:43.479
Josh. A good question for appisode, because you know they would they would

1748
02:08:43.520 --> 02:08:46.279
embrace with both hands whatever story the
company was telling about who the guy was.

1749
02:08:46.359 --> 02:08:50.640
It's not like they would say,
Nikita Kolof isn't Russian. Yeah,

1750
02:08:52.039 --> 02:08:54.199
So, I don't know. It's
kind of interesting. I wonder if they

1751
02:08:54.520 --> 02:08:56.840
only did that in certain cases or
not. It's kind of a a brilliant

1752
02:08:58.039 --> 02:09:01.880
thing for the Aptormag's to do back
then. Fascinating it was. I mean

1753
02:09:01.920 --> 02:09:05.560
it was for the year end issue
only sure. I don't know if they

1754
02:09:05.560 --> 02:09:07.720
did it in other years either,
to be honest, but I know it

1755
02:09:07.920 --> 02:09:11.319
was, like, you know,
just a special thing for the for the

1756
02:09:11.640 --> 02:09:13.840
for the end of the year.
Because if they're a K five, they

1757
02:09:13.840 --> 02:09:16.920
should be embracing the origin story of
it, shouldn't. I'm not saying they

1758
02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:20.640
should be like as in making a
judgment. I'm saying you would think that

1759
02:09:20.680 --> 02:09:22.800
they would just embrace the origin story
of the doint character and try to have

1760
02:09:22.880 --> 02:09:28.239
fun with but maybe maybe, maybe, maybe maybe maybe Big Josh is this

1761
02:09:28.520 --> 02:09:31.119
is this is this failed wrestler and
so he needed work and so he got

1762
02:09:31.159 --> 02:09:35.720
a job as a clown. You
know, maybe that's the story. I

1763
02:09:35.800 --> 02:09:41.840
got a question for you. Was
there a Big Josh Galube? They're not

1764
02:09:43.000 --> 02:09:50.720
in America? What but there was
one? Do you want it? Of

1765
02:09:50.800 --> 02:09:54.600
course I want it? There a
Christmas show coming up? Oh god,

1766
02:09:54.760 --> 02:09:58.600
there was like it was like it
might have been. There were let me

1767
02:09:58.640 --> 02:10:07.840
see here, there were there were
I'm trying to think, uh if they

1768
02:10:07.880 --> 02:10:15.199
were just there were some you know, you know, UK based ones,

1769
02:10:15.840 --> 02:10:20.840
but then there were some like uh, I don't know, yeah, UK

1770
02:10:20.039 --> 02:10:26.359
he was a UK exclusive. I've
spent quite a long time looking at these

1771
02:10:26.399 --> 02:10:31.000
action figures. There's something about these
total afterthought wrestlers that somehow end up in

1772
02:10:31.039 --> 02:10:35.000
this situation. They come along at
the right time to get an action figure

1773
02:10:35.079 --> 02:10:41.960
made. You know, yep,
yep, I'm completely totally kind I mean,

1774
02:10:43.119 --> 02:10:46.880
yeah, like this is I mean
that was kind of a lot of

1775
02:10:46.920 --> 02:10:52.399
the hasbros too, like Repo Man, not only gets a Hasbro, but

1776
02:10:52.439 --> 02:10:56.760
gets a Hasbro that's released well after
he was a mainstay on the roster.

1777
02:10:56.439 --> 02:11:00.359
Sure, yeah, by the time
they got it out, you know.

1778
02:11:00.520 --> 02:11:03.439
I mean, I think this is
like this Big Josh figure is on the

1779
02:11:03.520 --> 02:11:07.319
level like if they did a Big
Bully Busick toy. I mean, it's

1780
02:11:07.319 --> 02:11:09.840
like that. The totally you are
totally totally and the fact that it wasn't,

1781
02:11:09.880 --> 02:11:13.319
like you said, at least at
the United States is another thing that

1782
02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:16.399
makes it luring as fuck. I
mean, who bought this? Who got

1783
02:11:16.439 --> 02:11:20.840
this for Christmas? Like? I
want to hear from somebody who innocently bought

1784
02:11:20.920 --> 02:11:24.800
the Big Josh toy, not knowing
that it was going to be like this

1785
02:11:24.920 --> 02:11:30.199
fucking globe that no one had I
know, I know, or wanted for

1786
02:11:30.279 --> 02:11:33.840
that matter. I think you got
probably do you think Matt Bourne got properly

1787
02:11:33.960 --> 02:11:39.800
renumerated for sales of this action figure? Actually, from what I've been told,

1788
02:11:39.840 --> 02:11:43.079
actually that a lot of these figures, when people bought them, it

1789
02:11:43.119 --> 02:11:48.159
came up with the whole Coogan.
I thought it was great. I remember

1790
02:11:48.239 --> 02:11:50.119
they went down and they took photos
from every angle, you know, to

1791
02:11:50.199 --> 02:11:54.159
make the dolls and stuff. So
it resembles you the best that they can

1792
02:11:54.199 --> 02:12:00.119
do the time, and it was
great. I remember it was. You

1793
02:12:00.119 --> 02:12:03.039
know, I never saw it on
the shelves. But one of the guys

1794
02:12:03.119 --> 02:12:07.960
from the company was overseas. I
guess they sold the big Josh DAWs.

1795
02:12:07.000 --> 02:12:11.079
They never sold them the States.
They sold them overseas, and I was

1796
02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:13.680
never seen any residuals from him.
But then all of a sudden, he

1797
02:12:13.720 --> 02:12:16.960
brings me one back from overseas,
says they're selling them. So I got

1798
02:12:16.960 --> 02:12:20.000
I had to contact the obvious.
They were given all of the residuals from

1799
02:12:20.039 --> 02:12:24.920
all the money. They were given
it to the select few like Luger staying

1800
02:12:24.640 --> 02:12:28.680
and they so they were getting my
money. So I had to call them

1801
02:12:28.720 --> 02:12:31.720
and stay on top of it to
get my money. I ended up getting

1802
02:12:31.720 --> 02:12:35.760
it, but I didn't get it
till after I was already with WWF.

1803
02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:37.680
You know. They they finally sent
me a check, but you know,

1804
02:12:37.760 --> 02:12:43.359
I mean it was it was a
meager check, but who knows what it

1805
02:12:43.399 --> 02:12:46.319
should have been, but who was
you know, six seven thousand dollars,

1806
02:12:46.560 --> 02:12:52.359
But I took it. Here you
go. It wasn't helping though. It

1807
02:12:52.399 --> 02:13:01.000
went to Sting and Lugar apparently brother, they've got exactly they I'm yeah,

1808
02:13:01.039 --> 02:13:05.600
I know, I know you're looking
at I'm down you know, I'm down

1809
02:13:05.640 --> 02:13:11.079
the rabbit hole at this this wrestling
figure database and looking at you know,

1810
02:13:11.199 --> 02:13:22.399
First of all, obviously they had
Big Josh Dustin Rhodes wow uh and the

1811
02:13:22.760 --> 02:13:28.800
Freebirds as UK exclusive releases, plus
variations on Staying and Luger. But then

1812
02:13:30.279 --> 02:13:39.560
I'm looking here too, there was
maybe an unreleased Diamond stud Shut the fuck

1813
02:13:39.680 --> 02:13:46.560
up. Shut. I don't know
if this is legit, but this,

1814
02:13:46.880 --> 02:13:50.279
I mean here, I'm gonna I'm
gonna send you the link here. I'm

1815
02:13:50.279 --> 02:13:54.159
looking at it right now. Oh
you are, okay, I mean,

1816
02:13:54.640 --> 02:14:00.319
and then and then then an unreleased
PN News because that's what we fucking I've

1817
02:14:00.319 --> 02:14:03.640
seen these, yeah before before.
Then down below like there, it looks

1818
02:14:03.720 --> 02:14:09.840
like there are galubes that they were
going to do that are unreleased globes that

1819
02:14:09.520 --> 02:14:13.199
had movement, that had joints.
Look at these? Do you see that

1820
02:14:13.279 --> 02:14:18.399
in the bottom Yeah, on the
same page. I am no, but

1821
02:14:18.600 --> 02:14:22.800
I'm looking at I think what you're
talking about. Oh my god, Jesus,

1822
02:14:24.920 --> 02:14:28.399
like we could look look at if
you find the Rick Flair one his

1823
02:14:28.600 --> 02:14:37.680
fucking the veins in his arms are
just horrifying, god like and again like

1824
02:14:37.960 --> 02:14:46.319
like you can tell if they were
meant to move and be more like yeah,

1825
02:14:46.000 --> 02:14:52.119
yep, yep, wow, what
could have been? What could have

1826
02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:58.880
been? Whatever will be? You
know, reality of Oh they had an

1827
02:14:58.920 --> 02:15:01.439
unreleased Ricky Morton. I know,
I'm looking at the packaging and it's really

1828
02:15:01.479 --> 02:15:09.439
making me like, oh, I
kind of wish I had bought that ring.

1829
02:15:09.720 --> 02:15:11.680
I don't. I don't even real
they had a ring actually, when

1830
02:15:11.720 --> 02:15:18.760
I was pretty sweet with a cage
with that with a beautiful WWE style cage.

1831
02:15:20.159 --> 02:15:20.560
Do you have to do? You
have to talk about this? Did

1832
02:15:20.600 --> 02:15:26.000
you have the w W trading cards
from this area trading cards? I might

1833
02:15:26.079 --> 02:15:30.159
have had a pack. I feel
like I can picture my mind a pack

1834
02:15:30.279 --> 02:15:33.960
of trading cards that I had,
had a box of them. I don't

1835
02:15:33.000 --> 02:15:37.039
know why they were out on the
shelves where I was, but there weren't

1836
02:15:37.079 --> 02:15:41.680
even w WF cards. Man,
But I had a million of these motherfuckers

1837
02:15:41.760 --> 02:15:45.279
lying around. Let me see how
much they go for now, Yeah,

1838
02:15:45.520 --> 02:15:52.880
okay, nine cents doesn't mean much. Oh my god, these packs.

1839
02:15:52.600 --> 02:15:56.840
I used to rip this. Most
of what I knew about WCW We're from

1840
02:15:56.880 --> 02:16:03.399
these cards. Honestly. Sure.
I used to watch the television kind of

1841
02:16:03.439 --> 02:16:07.520
sparingly, and I was it kind
of served the same function that the video

1842
02:16:07.600 --> 02:16:11.079
games did for me, you know, like introduced me to the wrestlers.

1843
02:16:11.000 --> 02:16:18.159
Yep, yep, you know before
I watched the TV or actually gotten I

1844
02:16:18.239 --> 02:16:20.319
remember watched the TV. There's one
of Tommy Rich there if you remember.

1845
02:16:20.680 --> 02:16:26.840
I take a second to come across, but I remember, I remember the

1846
02:16:26.000 --> 02:16:31.239
I remember their Oh god, the
first time I saw these figures, I

1847
02:16:31.239 --> 02:16:35.040
had no idea that there were WW
fixtures figures, but I remember I was

1848
02:16:35.159 --> 02:16:39.479
a, you know, a newer
fan, and I was very obsessed with

1849
02:16:39.600 --> 02:16:46.600
all the hasbros. And I remember
being in a pharmacy. It was a

1850
02:16:46.760 --> 02:16:52.959
right Aid pharmacist in Milford, New
Hampshire, and I'm in there and then

1851
02:16:52.000 --> 02:16:56.959
all of a sudden, because you
know, when you are a wrestling fan,

1852
02:16:58.360 --> 02:17:03.799
all you want are the figures you
can't have. And at the time,

1853
02:17:03.600 --> 02:17:11.319
in early nineteen ninety two, there
was no Rick Flair WW action figure,

1854
02:17:11.399 --> 02:17:16.280
there was no Sid Justice w W
E Action figure. But lo and

1855
02:17:16.360 --> 02:17:24.399
behold, I'm at this fucking right
Aid and there are the WCW glubes and

1856
02:17:24.520 --> 02:17:31.639
I see that They're just the right
size. And I make my mom get

1857
02:17:31.760 --> 02:17:41.840
me flair and sid right on the
spot, right on the spot. Fucking

1858
02:17:41.920 --> 02:17:48.799
Butcher Reid had a fucking globe.
Sure, did I remember the bron Sympton

1859
02:17:50.360 --> 02:17:54.360
Ye, this long sneakers Yep.
And in the same position as uh,

1860
02:17:54.760 --> 02:18:00.440
you know Rick Rude, the Rick
Rude has bro the bicep flex and the

1861
02:18:00.520 --> 02:18:03.719
other one I'm close to the body. Pilman. I made Pilman, I

1862
02:18:03.799 --> 02:18:11.120
meane Pilman like a uh. You
know I would also use I would so

1863
02:18:11.600 --> 02:18:15.319
with the w c W belts because
everyone every character came with the belt right

1864
02:18:15.879 --> 02:18:22.959
just about and yeah, and so
I would. I would use those as

1865
02:18:22.120 --> 02:18:30.040
my secondary belts totally, as I'm
sure anyone would and so yeah and so

1866
02:18:30.399 --> 02:18:33.600
I. But then I then it
get to the point where I had more

1867
02:18:33.719 --> 02:18:35.799
belts than I had, you know, I was like, well, what

1868
02:18:35.840 --> 02:18:41.639
other championships can I use? And
so I started having these other like A

1869
02:18:41.840 --> 02:18:50.000
Junior Heavyweight Championships and US Championships and
all these other other belts, and yeah,

1870
02:18:50.079 --> 02:18:52.799
I used to uh, I used
to take a gold you know,

1871
02:18:54.239 --> 02:18:58.000
you know those pens, they're they're
there, they have painted them and so

1872
02:18:58.399 --> 02:19:03.280
could you shake it up. I
used to take a gold pen and I

1873
02:19:03.360 --> 02:19:09.719
would cover up the w CW and
I would put in some kind of initials

1874
02:19:09.719 --> 02:19:13.079
so I knew which belt was which. Amazing, It's like I had so

1875
02:19:13.079 --> 02:19:18.159
I'd like to put ic on the
Intercontinental Belt out of tag on my two

1876
02:19:18.239 --> 02:19:24.360
tag belts yep. So I had
like a just a jumbo had the wing

1877
02:19:24.440 --> 02:19:28.799
titles from the ring yes, oh
yeah, yeah that was my I actually

1878
02:19:28.920 --> 02:19:35.399
ended up having two because I had
the King of the Ring ring. Yeah,

1879
02:19:35.840 --> 02:19:39.319
I get the King of the Ring
yep, yep, And so I

1880
02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:45.239
had the I had both belts,
so I actually used my older one.

1881
02:19:46.280 --> 02:19:54.559
My older one, uh the championship
as a w c W championship and then

1882
02:19:54.680 --> 02:20:00.520
I have a all right, because
they just looks stupid. They were like

1883
02:20:00.680 --> 02:20:05.280
so bare bones. Yeah, they
weren't bevilled. They didn't have like depth

1884
02:20:05.319 --> 02:20:09.000
to him. They didn't have like
raised no yeah no, they were so

1885
02:20:09.159 --> 02:20:15.040
chinsey looking and so yeah, so
I so I made the other. Yeah,

1886
02:20:15.079 --> 02:20:18.000
I had a w W belt,
and I mean it was funny.

1887
02:20:18.079 --> 02:20:22.840
I was having WCW in WWE well
before they actually even bought the fucking company.

1888
02:20:22.920 --> 02:20:24.440
Yeah, I'm sure everyone did.
It's not like I'm the only person.

1889
02:20:26.120 --> 02:20:31.200
But you know, the WCW was
like a lesser championship. It's wild,

1890
02:20:31.399 --> 02:20:35.920
So such an appropriate time to launch
into that, considering where the Big

1891
02:20:35.040 --> 02:20:39.559
Josh that sits in the pantheonic galoobs. But yeah, Vernus had a part

1892
02:20:39.559 --> 02:20:46.239
Big Josh. It's crazy. So
Jared says, they always tell you never

1893
02:20:46.280 --> 02:20:48.520
to work with children animals, but
Big Josh has brought two pet bears here

1894
02:20:48.559 --> 02:20:52.520
to super Brawl. They mentioned how
he's gonna be facing Blackbard. He's supposed

1895
02:20:52.520 --> 02:20:56.000
to face Larry's Abisco, but they
said Bisco's not responding quickly from knee injury,

1896
02:20:56.079 --> 02:20:58.600
which is or surgery which was a
shoot. Bisco did come in with

1897
02:20:58.639 --> 02:21:03.680
a knee problem, but he shot
at Anglerie beat the shit out of Big

1898
02:21:03.799 --> 02:21:07.079
Josh on television and did this whole
interview where Big Josh was trying to explain

1899
02:21:07.200 --> 02:21:11.680
like the fact that he was going
to bring bears to the show and shit.

1900
02:21:11.120 --> 02:21:16.079
So here's the here's the promo to
get people interested in Big Josh versus

1901
02:21:16.440 --> 02:21:20.159
Larry's Abisco, who had pretty much
like a talk show function back then on

1902
02:21:20.280 --> 02:21:24.760
television in addition to wrestling. Yeah, this week on Larry sees legends I'm

1903
02:21:24.799 --> 02:21:30.920
doing something outrageous. I'm interviewing my
opponent for tomorrow night, who I've found

1904
02:21:30.959 --> 02:21:35.000
out when he talks about Big Ben, this idiot is talking about a bear.

1905
02:21:35.440 --> 02:21:46.079
He plans to bring a bear to
the rain, Big Josh, what

1906
02:21:46.280 --> 02:21:50.239
was that except that brings a bear
to the ring? Well, I guess

1907
02:21:50.319 --> 02:21:54.200
Larry's going to maybe fight out more
about this, Big Josh going in to

1908
02:21:54.399 --> 02:21:58.559
talk to Larzi. Let's go back
up top and come over here look at

1909
02:21:58.559 --> 02:22:03.680
it. Don't don't worry about the
handshake. I understand that you've got plans

1910
02:22:03.120 --> 02:22:07.159
to bring in a bear this Sunday
night. Let me tell you something.

1911
02:22:07.319 --> 02:22:11.799
It's you and me, Josh,
I've interviewing you. I want no trouble.

1912
02:22:11.399 --> 02:22:15.879
Don't worry about the stick, brother. I'm just being what is this

1913
02:22:16.040 --> 02:22:18.239
story with this bear? Because if
you think you're gonna beat me, I

1914
02:22:18.319 --> 02:22:22.280
know you had you didn't smile.
All you want? You're gonna need a

1915
02:22:22.319 --> 02:22:26.799
bear, isn't that great? Big
Old Ben is a bear? Isnay?

1916
02:22:26.000 --> 02:22:30.440
But I'll tell you what's something about
Big Ben. I am flying him out

1917
02:22:31.319 --> 02:22:35.440
for the super brol this Sunday,
and I am glad him first class and

1918
02:22:35.600 --> 02:22:39.559
he's gonna walk to the ring with
me. And I want all the kids

1919
02:22:39.600 --> 02:22:41.159
at all. I've had Big Ben, but he was a little timey cup

1920
02:22:41.360 --> 02:22:45.319
and he wouldn't hurt to fly.
The only time you hurt somebody and you

1921
02:22:45.360 --> 02:22:50.000
got around somebody real obnoxious, you
know, like something I don't get.

1922
02:22:50.079 --> 02:22:52.079
Kid, you're not gonna fight a
bear on first minn. I don't really

1923
02:22:52.079 --> 02:22:54.600
believe. I think you've got suthing
up your sleeve. Let me tell you

1924
02:22:54.719 --> 02:22:58.639
something. You're gonna take me serious. I retired Sam Martino, I retired

1925
02:22:58.719 --> 02:23:01.079
Botwinkle. And if you're not smart, if you don't take this serious,

1926
02:23:01.200 --> 02:23:05.280
I'm gonna retire Big Josh. Shut
up. Well, I never when you

1927
02:23:05.399 --> 02:23:07.680
check your job like that, because
you're real funny sometimes. But I want

1928
02:23:07.719 --> 02:23:11.280
everybody to come out. I want
everybody to come out to the super Bowl.

1929
02:23:11.319 --> 02:23:13.639
I want you all kids come up
and get close. Don't be afraid

1930
02:23:13.680 --> 02:23:16.760
Big Bed, Big Bad won't root. I want everybody, not a big

1931
02:23:16.799 --> 02:23:20.319
band. You know that's not worried
about me. Brother, all come on,

1932
02:23:20.639 --> 02:23:22.680
I want all your kids. Don't
be afraid of Big Bed because Big

1933
02:23:22.719 --> 02:23:26.520
Ben's gonna be there. He's real
nice. I've had him sitch a little

1934
02:23:26.559 --> 02:23:28.799
turny cup. He's gonna be right
there ringside with me, so we'll see

1935
02:23:28.879 --> 02:23:35.920
all the time. O goodness that
he beats the shit out of him.

1936
02:23:37.799 --> 02:23:41.239
So yeah, they're really serving up
Josh versus Larry Z. And there was

1937
02:23:41.239 --> 02:23:45.879
also like a tag match with Larry's
versus Josh on opposite ends that was at

1938
02:23:45.920 --> 02:23:48.600
one point as well. We obviously
don't get that we I'm sure as the

1939
02:23:48.639 --> 02:23:52.479
best goest. Need really acted up
when he realized that he'd be doing the

1940
02:23:52.600 --> 02:23:56.159
job here for the big lump.
You know what, But you know what,

1941
02:23:56.239 --> 02:24:01.520
the equivalent, by the way to
to a galue Big Josh is that

1942
02:24:01.120 --> 02:24:05.520
Hasbro Skinner. I like that.
That's a really good se Skinner is the

1943
02:24:05.559 --> 02:24:09.600
equivalent of that, in my opinion, very good, very close. I'm

1944
02:24:09.639 --> 02:24:13.319
with you there, yeah, because
I was going with the idea they never

1945
02:24:15.399 --> 02:24:22.799
made a Hasbro as obscure as Big
Josh was to WCW, but that's pretty

1946
02:24:22.799 --> 02:24:26.719
close. Black Bart in the march, he's going to be wrestling Big Josh,

1947
02:24:26.840 --> 02:24:30.239
and he was a Dusty favorite.
Florida Championship Wrestling drew some houses against

1948
02:24:30.280 --> 02:24:33.120
Black Bart, and where Dusty is, Black Bart gets a job. It

1949
02:24:33.200 --> 02:24:37.360
just happens that way. Jared calls
him a real brawler, which I think

1950
02:24:37.440 --> 02:24:41.159
is really stretching the definition of the
word real. That is, Big Josh

1951
02:24:41.239 --> 02:24:43.959
is from the Northwest. We know
he's got bears, we know he's got

1952
02:24:45.000 --> 02:24:48.120
a quick stick, but can he
wrestle? As the question, and that

1953
02:24:48.360 --> 02:24:54.079
is the question. Indeed, they
keep cutting to some little girl that has

1954
02:24:54.079 --> 02:24:58.399
a Big Josh sign, which I'm
sure is a real sign. I'm sure,

1955
02:24:58.559 --> 02:25:01.040
and not only a real sign,
but I'm sure she really really really

1956
02:25:01.120 --> 02:25:05.719
made that one. And here come
two bears standing on two hind legs with

1957
02:25:07.040 --> 02:25:11.440
muzzles on their mouths being led to
the ring, but you know, with

1958
02:25:11.120 --> 02:25:16.079
straps harnesses hooked around their necks,
I guess in the fists of Big Josh.

1959
02:25:16.159 --> 02:25:20.639
And he's walking these bears down the
ramp. They are walking in full

1960
02:25:22.200 --> 02:25:26.239
standing position. They have like a
handler with them right but right next to

1961
02:25:26.399 --> 02:25:31.360
Big Josh. And this is supposed
to be a worthwhile investment of our time

1962
02:25:31.440 --> 02:25:33.239
and of their resources to get these
bears to come to the ring with Big

1963
02:25:33.319 --> 02:25:39.200
Josh and do nothing. Well,
you know I can understand this to me

1964
02:25:39.399 --> 02:25:43.360
is another piece of the puzzle with
doing you know, because of how easily

1965
02:25:43.399 --> 02:25:48.600
he's able to handle bears like he's
from a circus. Thoughts on this,

1966
02:25:50.760 --> 02:25:56.280
Thoughts on this, individuals on what
part the bears. Oh, it's stupid,

1967
02:25:56.719 --> 02:26:00.760
so fucking look, you don't even
do anything. As soon as I

1968
02:26:00.840 --> 02:26:01.959
see it, it's like, this
is so goofy, and you can tell

1969
02:26:01.959 --> 02:26:05.680
they put so much effort into it. Oh, I know, I know.

1970
02:26:05.959 --> 02:26:09.280
It's so it's like they like,
what are you doing? Why?

1971
02:26:11.280 --> 02:26:15.879
Why I didn't see this? But
apparently and I gotta play this for you.

1972
02:26:16.559 --> 02:26:18.559
There's something I really watched closely for
is the Bears are led down the

1973
02:26:18.680 --> 02:26:24.360
rampway here at Super Bowl one,
Tony Schivanni recalls the story as he and

1974
02:26:24.479 --> 02:26:28.200
Conrad Thompson are watching this sort of
a watch along format. Let's just go

1975
02:26:28.319 --> 02:26:31.719
along for the ride with Tony and
get his stream of consciousness, if you

1976
02:26:31.799 --> 02:26:35.879
will. On the air is walking
to the ring with Big Josh. Hey,

1977
02:26:35.959 --> 02:26:39.680
now you need to watch Big Josh
here because right at the end you're

1978
02:26:39.719 --> 02:26:43.200
not gonna believe what's happening here.
Guys, if you're not watching this,

1979
02:26:43.879 --> 02:26:48.559
you need to get fucking watching just
for this. Go ahead, because as

1980
02:26:48.600 --> 02:26:54.799
they walk down the bear on the
left gonna be pissing, and Dufty knew

1981
02:26:54.840 --> 02:27:00.559
it. JR knew it. They
started laughing and even doing new it here

1982
02:27:01.879 --> 02:27:07.239
that they were see the fuck now, bless their hard I really feel bad

1983
02:27:07.280 --> 02:27:11.959
about this. They're looking around and
the one on the left anytime here,

1984
02:27:11.239 --> 02:27:16.239
come on. He believed this is
actually happening. Yeah, there he's pissing

1985
02:27:20.120 --> 02:27:28.959
the whole way. I really feel
bad about this now because it's just not

1986
02:27:28.200 --> 02:27:31.719
right animal rights. He said,
did you see that Edge just pissed on

1987
02:27:31.879 --> 02:27:37.680
the ramp and there's there's Peggy laid
them in the back. Is he Peggy

1988
02:27:37.719 --> 02:27:43.360
in the blue? She even knew
they pissed off the pissing? Oh shit,

1989
02:27:43.879 --> 02:27:46.680
wow, I can see what I
looked. I try to see piss.

1990
02:27:46.719 --> 02:27:50.440
I didn't see it. I feel
like maybe they knew in the building.

1991
02:27:50.479 --> 02:27:52.639
And he's like, act like you
can notice it on TV. But

1992
02:27:52.520 --> 02:27:56.079
a right, No, I I
gotta from the head to take a look

1993
02:27:56.120 --> 02:27:58.840
at her. I gotta, I
gotta, I gotta look. I gotta

1994
02:27:58.879 --> 02:28:03.200
look at because I need to see. I used to see if this fucking

1995
02:28:03.840 --> 02:28:09.239
if this animal urinates. Yeah,
while you do that. The idea they

1996
02:28:09.319 --> 02:28:13.120
batted about was Ricky Morton and Big
Josh versus Larry Zabisco and Danny Spivey in

1997
02:28:13.159 --> 02:28:15.959
a tag match on the card,
which would have been I suppose someone were

1998
02:28:16.000 --> 02:28:18.399
interesting. Jim Ross had this to
say in this podcast about it all.

1999
02:28:18.559 --> 02:28:20.760
I couldn't tell you, man,
that was just another idea. You can

2000
02:28:20.840 --> 02:28:22.159
tell how many new things the company
was trying at that point in time to

2001
02:28:22.200 --> 02:28:26.639
simply find something that would stick against
the wall. The thing about how impractical

2002
02:28:26.719 --> 02:28:28.040
it was. What if the bear
thing had gotten over? How are you

2003
02:28:28.079 --> 02:28:31.520
going to get them to the towns? You know, are you going to

2004
02:28:31.559 --> 02:28:33.959
call the local bear union and say, send me over two bears that are

2005
02:28:33.000 --> 02:28:35.959
comfortable around people and can walk on
their hind legs for about fifty yards.

2006
02:28:37.319 --> 02:28:39.239
It was impractice. Yeah, it
doesn't sound hard to meet, Jim.

2007
02:28:39.399 --> 02:28:43.959
That's exactly what you do every time
you go to has a bear repository,

2008
02:28:45.040 --> 02:28:52.200
don't you know this. We pulled
into Boston and we needed bears for Big

2009
02:28:52.280 --> 02:28:58.120
Joss. We asked where the balls
the provincetown? Oh, yes, you

2010
02:28:58.280 --> 02:29:03.239
see it, Oh my god,
yes you can, Oh my god,

2011
02:29:03.840 --> 02:29:09.399
Jesus, of course you get sucking
Martin Landau out there fucking taking taking care

2012
02:29:09.440 --> 02:29:15.159
of these bears. Wow, a
stream of consciousness. You see like a

2013
02:29:15.239 --> 02:29:20.639
little bit of that of of of
shiny liquid just you know, trickling out

2014
02:29:20.680 --> 02:29:26.479
of the bear's crotch. It's it's
it's a is it sparkling almost? Yep?

2015
02:29:26.840 --> 02:29:31.879
Yep, the glistening look you know
when you get the ah wow.

2016
02:29:33.159 --> 02:29:35.879
Because when I went back and looked, I was looking at kind of a

2017
02:29:35.959 --> 02:29:39.000
low five version of the show.
I wasn't looking at the one on Peacock

2018
02:29:39.079 --> 02:29:43.280
the master tapes. So maybe it's
easier to see on the Yeah, you

2019
02:29:43.399 --> 02:29:46.559
know, if you're not looking for
it, you could miss it for sure.

2020
02:29:46.680 --> 02:29:50.399
So I can understand that. But
it's at the very very end,

2021
02:29:50.479 --> 02:29:52.600
right when he gets to the to
the ramp, you can see a little

2022
02:29:52.000 --> 02:30:00.280
you see the trickles just leaving,
leaving the physique of the the bear.

2023
02:30:00.600 --> 02:30:01.399
Of course, it pisses all over
the place. I mean, what do

2024
02:30:01.479 --> 02:30:09.600
you at? That's WCW right exactly. That's that's what I expect, That's

2025
02:30:09.639 --> 02:30:15.120
what I need, it's what I
require. Suppose it got over it.

2026
02:30:15.959 --> 02:30:18.959
Get what do we get? Bears
to the towns, the towns, the

2027
02:30:20.120 --> 02:30:24.399
towns, the towns, all about
the towns. No, I don't think

2028
02:30:24.440 --> 02:30:30.600
you would. I think you just
you say, fuck the bears. Let's

2029
02:30:30.600 --> 02:30:31.639
go back to Gary. Indeed,
Jim, I'm trying to find it.

2030
02:30:31.719 --> 02:30:35.920
What do you got for time?
Coddy? You still have it? Oh?

2031
02:30:35.120 --> 02:30:37.559
The thing? I had a file, so I don't know it was

2032
02:30:39.559 --> 02:30:43.639
Okay, I can. I can
quickly find it though, yea, because

2033
02:30:43.639 --> 02:30:50.799
it's it's definitely worth watching just to
see it, just to witness bears urinating

2034
02:30:54.040 --> 02:30:58.479
in WCW. There's the big boys. So if you're if you want to

2035
02:30:58.520 --> 02:31:03.879
find it on your peacock, I'm
at about forty nine twenty seven, and

2036
02:31:03.959 --> 02:31:09.120
here come the bears. Yeah,
they must be so scared, that's why

2037
02:31:09.120 --> 02:31:11.959
they pissed all over the pla.
Oh yeah, of course. Well all

2038
02:31:11.000 --> 02:31:13.920
these people on the sides, like
what the fuck is going on out here?

2039
02:31:15.559 --> 02:31:18.639
They're thinking not like that, but
they're not natural to walk on their

2040
02:31:18.719 --> 02:31:24.680
hind legs for that long. Yeah, there's that too. I'm looking.

2041
02:31:24.760 --> 02:31:28.799
I don't oh yeah, oh yeah, there it is, leaking out the

2042
02:31:28.879 --> 02:31:37.280
bottom, just pissing all over the
ramp. Look at Martin Landau just enjoying

2043
02:31:37.360 --> 02:31:43.040
himself. Fucking big Joe. What
an oath is? What if that's doink?

2044
02:31:43.159 --> 02:31:50.280
Is kind of fucking hilarious. Yeah
yeah, ah, god love it.

2045
02:31:50.879 --> 02:31:56.879
Uh that's the business, if you
ask Jim Hurd right there, yep,

2046
02:31:58.159 --> 02:32:01.200
okay, so Jos Black Bart dust. He says this should be a

2047
02:32:01.239 --> 02:32:05.680
great contest as Bart hiptoss is off
the ropes. It's hilariat and his lumber

2048
02:32:05.719 --> 02:32:09.120
jack shit steps on the gut the
log roll Jr. Talks about. Jr.

2049
02:32:09.239 --> 02:32:20.040
Talks about Big Josh's unorthodox style and
his low boiling point. Big Josh

2050
02:32:20.200 --> 02:32:24.280
rather un orthodox, and he's such
a good natured guy, but he's got

2051
02:32:24.360 --> 02:32:31.239
a low boiling point and Black Bart
may find that out relatively soon. I'm

2052
02:32:31.239 --> 02:32:37.399
all about his low boiling point.
Okay, the bear didn't have a low

2053
02:32:37.440 --> 02:32:43.000
boiling point, that's for sure.
Yeah right. Josh throws a hard shop

2054
02:32:43.040 --> 02:32:45.799
out of the corner, throwing hard
on Irish whip lands, a left that

2055
02:32:45.879 --> 02:32:50.120
flops Bart into the canvas and floors
him to no puplets. However, Josh

2056
02:32:50.159 --> 02:32:52.799
steps on the face with the work
boots used to wear. The Timberland's out

2057
02:32:52.799 --> 02:32:54.239
there. Remember the ideas he talked
about in the shooting that he was at.

2058
02:32:54.280 --> 02:32:58.879
Isn't a wrestle, right, He's
a logger right now, A logger

2059
02:33:00.079 --> 02:33:01.719
are sitting in a cubic. I
was gonna say, I thought Alexandro York

2060
02:33:01.879 --> 02:33:05.200
was the logger in the company.
Yeah right, here's that. This is

2061
02:33:05.360 --> 02:33:11.040
fucking Dusty goes on a weird tangent
here about he and j are growing up

2062
02:33:11.079 --> 02:33:13.719
in Texas. Wouldn't keep up with
this one. I'm glad you have it.

2063
02:33:13.079 --> 02:33:16.879
This is so fucking weird. You
don't know. Black Bud just went

2064
02:33:16.920 --> 02:33:18.159
over there. Remind me when we
were kids, I know, in Oklahoma

2065
02:33:18.239 --> 02:33:20.639
and Texas, when you were there
across that red woman and you loaded that

2066
02:33:22.040 --> 02:33:24.360
feed for your dad in that last
sack. He just kind of throw bad

2067
02:33:24.399 --> 02:33:26.799
and just roll over that. That's
the way black Butt looked when he took

2068
02:33:26.879 --> 02:33:31.000
that that big hip toss up.
I'm sorry, with all due respect,

2069
02:33:31.040 --> 02:33:33.000
I don't know. I don't know
he's talking about it. He said,

2070
02:33:33.000 --> 02:33:37.280
I don't know what the sack and
you roll over. He talked about his

2071
02:33:37.440 --> 02:33:43.280
dad, and he talked about Oklahoma
and Texas and and and learning some kind

2072
02:33:43.319 --> 02:33:46.520
of sack. He said, you
don't know, Black Bud just went over

2073
02:33:46.559 --> 02:33:48.760
there. Remind me when we were
kids, I know, in Oklahoma and

2074
02:33:48.799 --> 02:33:50.159
Texas, when you were there across
that red woman, and you loaded that

2075
02:33:50.520 --> 02:33:52.600
feed for your dad. In that
last sack, he just kind of throw

2076
02:33:52.680 --> 02:33:56.040
back and just roll over that.
That's the way black Butt looked when he

2077
02:33:56.120 --> 02:34:01.440
took that that big hip toss up. I just think it's completely normal,

2078
02:34:03.120 --> 02:34:07.719
all right. I'm glad you agree. Yeah, listen, Message received,

2079
02:34:07.799 --> 02:34:15.520
Message acknowledged, Message appreciated. Message
folded into my understanding of affairs here at

2080
02:34:15.600 --> 02:34:18.959
WCW. So hard chops from Josh, as I said, he puts him

2081
02:34:18.959 --> 02:34:22.120
down, no pop, he steps
on his face with his work boots,

2082
02:34:22.159 --> 02:34:26.000
and Dusty says, Josh don't know
a lot about wrestling, the wrestling part

2083
02:34:26.000 --> 02:34:28.840
of it, but he's a rugged
individual and there's nothing he does that's not

2084
02:34:28.000 --> 02:34:35.079
hard. Yeah, And he talks
about Missy Hyatt and championship matches and and

2085
02:34:35.280 --> 02:34:41.000
and Big Josh keeping Bard in the
mat. Just listen to all he talks

2086
02:34:41.040 --> 02:34:45.440
about. In less than a minute, I'll tell you what we have we

2087
02:34:45.559 --> 02:34:48.559
have seen just right off the bad
here to nights, what World Championship Wrestling

2088
02:34:48.639 --> 02:34:52.319
is all about. We're seeing it
right bad, We've seen We've seen all

2089
02:34:52.399 --> 02:34:54.879
kinds of things. I'm looking forward
to the Missy High dressing room deal.

2090
02:34:54.959 --> 02:34:58.639
But right here, Big Josh got
control. We talked about it again.

2091
02:34:58.079 --> 02:35:01.360
He might not know all the rest
and other people does, but he's got

2092
02:35:01.360 --> 02:35:03.239
the man on the mat. That's
where you gotta beat him on the mat.

2093
02:35:03.319 --> 02:35:07.559
You can't beat him on top of
the rope on the outside. I'm

2094
02:35:07.600 --> 02:35:11.239
sorry, Dusty, I can't.
I can't follow you. I mean,

2095
02:35:11.319 --> 02:35:13.879
actually you can beat him on the
outside. It's called a count out.

2096
02:35:18.879 --> 02:35:22.079
I mean all that was said in
less than a minute, exactly all these

2097
02:35:22.159 --> 02:35:28.680
fucking he talks about fifteen topics in
less than a minute. The fuck dust

2098
02:35:28.040 --> 02:35:33.280
what are you doing within bath,
Daddy? We've fin within your nation within

2099
02:35:33.360 --> 02:35:37.959
at all, baby, within things. I'm talking about my pancake right now,

2100
02:35:37.040 --> 02:35:41.000
daddad pancake for breakfast. I had
it with maple therap and I had

2101
02:35:41.000 --> 02:35:43.360
a thought of bacon, and then
I've said, Dustin, I said uff.

2102
02:35:43.360 --> 02:35:45.920
And you know what, Daddy,
we gotta go get a whole after

2103
02:35:46.000 --> 02:35:48.760
the damn show. And then we
got big. We got Big fucking Josh

2104
02:35:48.840 --> 02:35:50.280
in here, Daddy. He's doing
the thing. He's keeping things on the

2105
02:35:50.360 --> 02:35:54.920
mat and mitthy Hyatt going in the
menth dreffing room, Daddy, If what's

2106
02:35:54.959 --> 02:35:58.559
gonna happen next. It's a great
question, let's find out. As Bart

2107
02:35:58.639 --> 02:36:03.799
tries to hiptoss out and Josh rolls
through maintaining the arm control dust, he

2108
02:36:03.840 --> 02:36:05.879
keep saying, Josh doesn't know what
he's doing, but he keeps locking up

2109
02:36:05.959 --> 02:36:11.479
like studious arm bars and doing straight
wrestling wrestling like a wrestler, like a

2110
02:36:11.520 --> 02:36:15.479
guy who's been trained. Bar to
the eyes, chops in the corner.

2111
02:36:15.959 --> 02:36:18.600
Black Bark goes to the eyes of
Josh, chops him in the corner,

2112
02:36:18.840 --> 02:36:22.159
making some wheezing noises as he delivers
dust. He says, why why would

2113
02:36:22.360 --> 02:36:28.159
why would a wrestling company hire a
log guy who doesn't know how to wrestle?

2114
02:36:28.559 --> 02:36:31.159
Why hire a garbage man that doesn't
know how to wrestle? In WWF,

2115
02:36:31.399 --> 02:36:37.479
Right, these occupational gimmicks never worked
for me, you know, yeah,

2116
02:36:37.559 --> 02:36:43.000
it's not it's not a good thing. Like you'd be a wrestler who

2117
02:36:43.040 --> 02:36:45.440
has that background, who comes from
that part of the world of the country

2118
02:36:45.600 --> 02:36:48.760
or that you know, labor,
But you can't be somebody that just was

2119
02:36:48.840 --> 02:36:52.799
air dropped in from that world with
the wrestling training. I mean, you

2120
02:36:52.879 --> 02:36:54.200
can be, but it never named
one time is ever worth you know,

2121
02:36:56.360 --> 02:37:05.159
Yeah, occupational gimmicks are very They
suck every single time, is what they

2122
02:37:05.239 --> 02:37:07.479
do. Yeah, I'm trying to
I'm trying to think of any that are

2123
02:37:07.639 --> 02:37:16.920
not are good. Probably the amount
he was Okay, it's a good boss

2124
02:37:16.959 --> 02:37:20.760
man, right, he was a
correctional officer who could wrestle. I guess

2125
02:37:20.799 --> 02:37:22.879
yeah, that's the probably the most
successful one, probably is that he's a

2126
02:37:22.959 --> 02:37:28.280
fucking police officer. He'll be coming
after you. You can wrestle. You

2127
02:37:28.360 --> 02:37:33.280
know it's gonna change you as well. Dusty says something incomprehensible like you just

2128
02:37:33.399 --> 02:37:41.639
said, and he says something like
dab nabya And that's the same thing as

2129
02:37:41.760 --> 02:37:45.520
Dad burden. You let me tell
you burning. Yeah, Dusty says,

2130
02:37:45.600 --> 02:37:48.959
they know this is super brawl and
to win in this event put you in

2131
02:37:48.040 --> 02:37:52.200
the world's rankings for the titles.
That's exactly what I'm thinking when I see

2132
02:37:52.239 --> 02:37:56.840
Big Josh compete. Josh is fighting
for rankings for titles, fighting something's rank

2133
02:37:56.879 --> 02:38:01.319
all right, I'll tell you that
back from his knees to islands. Hey,

2134
02:38:01.440 --> 02:38:07.159
Josh, if a tree falls in
the forest Africa, the rest If

2135
02:38:07.200 --> 02:38:09.479
a tree falls in the forest,
does it make as much sound as the

2136
02:38:09.520 --> 02:38:13.079
crowd here? On your match here
Josh with the fujiwara armbark counter because he

2137
02:38:13.120 --> 02:38:16.200
doesn't know how to wrestle. See
how it goes. That was a nice

2138
02:38:16.239 --> 02:38:20.639
move. I learn how to wrestle. Dusty says he did learn that in

2139
02:38:20.719 --> 02:38:24.639
the gymnasium. He learned that in
the Yukon or wherever he's from. Dusty,

2140
02:38:26.280 --> 02:38:30.440
you created the gimmick. What do
you mean wherever he's from? Gave

2141
02:38:30.479 --> 02:38:35.680
him the logger gimmick because he was
Portland, Oregon. He's in the but

2142
02:38:35.760 --> 02:38:39.440
he's in the Yukon. I mean, I didn't know he went to Yukon,

2143
02:38:41.120 --> 02:38:46.760
Yukon. Everybody, Dusty, so
make say Irish whip Josh with the

2144
02:38:46.840 --> 02:38:50.360
axe handle chopped to the throat,
not not the actual wooden axe handle,

2145
02:38:50.399 --> 02:38:54.000
but you get it. The axe
handle wrestling move. Oh my god.

2146
02:38:54.040 --> 02:38:58.200
And then he just basically earthquake splash. Yeah yeah, well he does kind

2147
02:38:58.239 --> 02:39:03.680
of a it's like a version of
what he would use as doing the whoope

2148
02:39:03.760 --> 02:39:07.200
cush absolutely except on the mat and
side off the top. Yep ye one

2149
02:39:07.280 --> 02:39:09.879
two, three, three minutes,
forty six seconds. Big Josh defeats Black

2150
02:39:09.920 --> 02:39:13.440
Bart and his pay per view debut
here at Super Bowl Brawl one. Josh

2151
02:39:13.520 --> 02:39:16.600
has his best friend of the whole
world into the camera. He says this,

2152
02:39:18.239 --> 02:39:20.479
he doesn't want to say who he's
talking about. He must be referring

2153
02:39:20.520 --> 02:39:22.360
to the Bears, and he just
says, see you later and take camera.

2154
02:39:22.760 --> 02:39:28.000
He says that yes, by see
you later. By. Dusty thinks

2155
02:39:28.040 --> 02:39:31.799
it's the butt Bump is what that
movie is called, even though he says

2156
02:39:31.840 --> 02:39:35.959
Big Josh is taken to referring to
it as the butt Drop Jared's is speaking

2157
02:39:35.000 --> 02:39:39.200
of. But Scarry Michael Copetta is
about to introduce one. Escapeta says,

2158
02:39:39.239 --> 02:39:43.000
with a special edition of The Danger
Zone. He see Henley Truth Cowboy and

2159
02:39:43.040 --> 02:39:48.040
I love New York mister Paul E
dangerously. And here he comes in his

2160
02:39:48.120 --> 02:39:52.920
pink shirt and khaki shorts and sneakers, trying to obnoxious a cowboy hatreppy,

2161
02:39:54.159 --> 02:39:56.840
oh god, and a cowboy hat
because he's I mean, like, we

2162
02:39:56.959 --> 02:40:01.600
got interview segments. We got fucking
so stupid short short matches. It's like

2163
02:40:01.840 --> 02:40:07.239
an episode of raw overproduced entrances with
bears and smoke and mirrors and green lasers

2164
02:40:07.319 --> 02:40:11.760
and Dorothy and the tin Man.
It sucks. Jared says he's never seen

2165
02:40:11.799 --> 02:40:13.079
a cowboy like that where he came
from. And Dusty says they would string

2166
02:40:13.159 --> 02:40:16.040
him up out back by his heels
for two days and come back and poke

2167
02:40:16.120 --> 02:40:20.120
fun at him if he showed up
in his parts dressed like that. Polly

2168
02:40:20.200 --> 02:40:26.479
dangerously much like Tom. Zink had
signed a one year contract renewal shortly before

2169
02:40:26.520 --> 02:40:28.920
this pay per view, so this
is kind of like a new foot forward

2170
02:40:28.000 --> 02:40:31.000
for him. And this is where
it grabs the microphone and gets off to

2171
02:40:31.079 --> 02:40:35.840
an inauspicious start under this contract because
the microphone is not piping into the house

2172
02:40:35.920 --> 02:40:41.079
pa at all, and he tries
to transition. Is knocking Florida, Fordy,

2173
02:40:41.079 --> 02:40:43.719
he says, once again, something
in Florida fouls you up. He

2174
02:40:43.760 --> 02:40:46.680
people can't even get a microphone straight. And he says his guest tonight he

2175
02:40:46.719 --> 02:40:48.920
is the only real cowboy. And
he comes in there hitting the ropes like

2176
02:40:48.959 --> 02:40:52.760
a madman, bleeding from the mouth, drooling, but with chewing tobacco spit

2177
02:40:54.120 --> 02:40:58.639
and his cow hide chaps. It's
stand hands. Yes, it is fucking

2178
02:40:58.719 --> 02:41:01.280
Main says, First of all,
if you were real cowboy, you'd have

2179
02:41:01.319 --> 02:41:03.799
to do a little work, and
I know you never worked a day in

2180
02:41:03.840 --> 02:41:07.399
your life. He takes off his
hat and says, I bought the hat

2181
02:41:07.440 --> 02:41:09.920
to be a cowboy, just like
you in stances, this hat is made

2182
02:41:09.959 --> 02:41:13.920
in New York City. This ain't
no cowboy hat. This must be right

2183
02:41:13.959 --> 02:41:18.799
around that time. Play it again
for the people New York City's drooling on

2184
02:41:18.879 --> 02:41:20.360
his chest and tummy. He says, I'll tell you a lunch, you

2185
02:41:20.559 --> 02:41:28.399
young shots. Dustin, you sh
snots I wrote. I think it's what

2186
02:41:28.479 --> 02:41:31.840
he said, Dustin and Zinc and
Pillman, but mainly you Dustin stan Hanson's

2187
02:41:31.879 --> 02:41:35.680
here. You don't want to wrestle
me. Nobody came forward. I'm still

2188
02:41:35.719 --> 02:41:37.760
here. I'm going to fight.
And he whips his bull rope around someone.

2189
02:41:37.799 --> 02:41:41.920
He says, especially Dustin, you
get a pretty clear idea of who

2190
02:41:41.959 --> 02:41:43.680
brought him in and for what.
He says, Come on, I'm ready

2191
02:41:43.719 --> 02:41:46.280
to all and Paul says, you
talk about a real cowboy, han guy

2192
02:41:46.319 --> 02:41:52.079
who doesn't hide behind a microphone or
something. When you say a general like

2193
02:41:52.159 --> 02:41:56.360
Storman Norman, he's the first family
of the nature boy Rick Flair, who's

2194
02:41:56.360 --> 02:42:01.120
going to be the champion, arn
Anderson, who's going to beat about beautiful

2195
02:42:01.159 --> 02:42:03.360
Bobby. So we're talking about how
all the heels are going to win tonight,

2196
02:42:03.079 --> 02:42:09.479
and the PA gives up again,
so Paul starts barking into the camera

2197
02:42:09.000 --> 02:42:13.280
and the microphone comes back on.
He says, because these people from Florida

2198
02:42:13.319 --> 02:42:16.319
can't even get the sound right.
Who's running the truck? Someone from Florida.

2199
02:42:16.360 --> 02:42:18.239
I quit this damn job. No, Paul, you just be signed

2200
02:42:18.280 --> 02:42:22.120
as a matter of fact. Yeah, yeah, Paul, you get a

2201
02:42:22.159 --> 02:42:24.840
little bit longer. Jarrs says,
I'm glad that's over. And I'm thinking,

2202
02:42:24.959 --> 02:42:30.879
Jim, it wasn't some Paully chants
though, nonetheless, and Jarsy's fans.

2203
02:42:30.920 --> 02:42:33.559
We've heard a lot about Oz,
Yes, we have fans. We've

2204
02:42:33.600 --> 02:42:37.120
heard a lot about Oz. We
sure have. And we're getting ready to

2205
02:42:37.159 --> 02:42:56.639
take a look. I think,
Babby, you know you get this,

2206
02:42:56.959 --> 02:43:01.760
uh this castle facade. But has
anyone actually ever fucking seen the Wizard of

2207
02:43:01.840 --> 02:43:09.040
Oz and situation here and nothing like
this? And I've been the two bille

2208
02:43:09.120 --> 02:43:18.399
robes and an all night fair brother, Tell me when there is tell me

2209
02:43:18.600 --> 02:43:24.200
when once upon a time and a
land far away, there lived a wizard,

2210
02:43:26.079 --> 02:43:30.879
but not the Wizard of Oz.
His name was the Great Wizard,

2211
02:43:31.440 --> 02:43:43.639
and he ruled the Kingdom of Oz, and now are weary travelers are at

2212
02:43:43.680 --> 02:43:48.920
the end of their journey. As
they faced the Emerald City, Welcome,

2213
02:43:50.040 --> 02:44:22.000
dolcome one. The does want them
dis don't feel clan, but the persons

2214
02:44:24.319 --> 02:44:41.840
want the dies. Where stays when
I was doing? Oh my god,

2215
02:44:50.559 --> 02:44:58.280
I am the grazing power Kevin Nash
Both Who are you? Yeah? Who

2216
02:44:58.479 --> 02:45:07.079
are the great and powerful? Eyes? Those? Why you have come?

2217
02:45:07.879 --> 02:45:16.520
How dare come to me? I
will show you who I really. I

2218
02:45:16.719 --> 02:45:28.399
will show the world who are really
is? That's got fucking like porn music.

2219
02:45:28.280 --> 02:45:37.440
Welcome, Welcome, Who sounds like
another one bites the welcome, Welcome

2220
02:45:37.479 --> 02:45:48.239
to, Welcome to, Welcome power, Welcome power. He is huge,

2221
02:45:48.440 --> 02:45:52.639
Dusty, This guy is cute.
Brother. This is just knocked my socks

2222
02:45:52.760 --> 02:45:56.559
right off right here. I never
seen nothing like that. This guy here

2223
02:45:56.680 --> 02:46:01.319
looks to me, I would say, seventh foot tall, last and I'm

2224
02:46:01.360 --> 02:46:07.280
I'll tell you what. This is
an awesome, awesome, awesome display the

2225
02:46:07.360 --> 02:46:11.479
world chimpionship wrestling and bringing it through
your baby. We're taking a look at

2226
02:46:11.520 --> 02:46:24.479
Oz. Thoughts. I I just
can't believe it didn't get over. Hey,

2227
02:46:24.559 --> 02:46:33.120
Sully, when what's he doing?
Welcome to Oz? What the fuck

2228
02:46:33.239 --> 02:46:41.840
is he don't know what's that that
idiotic mask of his walcome gnaws, welcome

2229
02:46:41.920 --> 02:46:48.879
naws. Oh my god, also
so so so he said, this is

2230
02:46:48.920 --> 02:46:54.280
what I don't understand too. It
says, in the fucking thing there was

2231
02:46:54.360 --> 02:47:00.639
a wizard, but not the Wizard
of Oz. And then he goes,

2232
02:47:01.879 --> 02:47:05.120
I'm gonna show you who Oz really
is. So what is it? Oh

2233
02:47:05.239 --> 02:47:09.959
my god, I know this Os
are not Oz. What's the deal exactly?

2234
02:47:11.680 --> 02:47:13.920
It's like, even if you gave
them way more of the benefit of

2235
02:47:13.959 --> 02:47:18.719
the doubt, they're counting on you
to not take it seriously because when you

2236
02:47:18.760 --> 02:47:20.280
actually listen to what's being said,
none of it makes any sense. It

2237
02:47:20.360 --> 02:47:24.479
all conflicts. And why Kevin Sullivan
has a live monkey on his shoulder,

2238
02:47:24.520 --> 02:47:28.719
it's another question. I'm all winging
monkey. You know that's from Voice of

2239
02:47:28.760 --> 02:47:33.360
Oz. You get the winging monkeys
and stuff, So that makes total sense.

2240
02:47:33.440 --> 02:47:35.159
Actually, well with that one.
According to Tony Hivanni, it wasn't

2241
02:47:35.159 --> 02:47:39.760
a very easy night for this particular
monkey. Again. I tell the story

2242
02:47:39.840 --> 02:47:45.479
as they as they walked up the
stairway. Kevin walked up the stairway leading

2243
02:47:45.520 --> 02:47:50.079
Oz in and the monkey jumped off
again his shoulder and the monkey was swinging

2244
02:47:50.120 --> 02:47:54.040
like a pendulum at the end of
Kevin's thing. Oh my god, and

2245
02:47:54.680 --> 02:48:00.799
or chain and I'm thinking he gonna
kill the fucking monkey. Yeah, I

2246
02:48:01.000 --> 02:48:05.200
was told that the monkey died.
Now I don't know shit himself wildcalls the

2247
02:48:05.239 --> 02:48:11.000
pyro or he was swung by his
neck too many times by Kevin. If

2248
02:48:11.040 --> 02:48:22.840
that's the case, moo on us. Oh what a fucking fucking goofy.

2249
02:48:24.040 --> 02:48:26.440
What a wrestling got too far away
from the circus for Jim Hurd's taste.

2250
02:48:26.440 --> 02:48:30.239
So let's get the bears in here, Let's get the monkeys in here.

2251
02:48:30.399 --> 02:48:33.680
Let's get the lasers and the fucking
you know. I feel like, you

2252
02:48:33.760 --> 02:48:35.680
know, they keep calling us a
circus, so I think we should embrace

2253
02:48:35.760 --> 02:48:39.680
that. Absolutely. The circus makes
a lot of money. People love Barnam

2254
02:48:39.719 --> 02:48:43.159
and circus is pretty Circus is pretty
fantastic. I think we could do a

2255
02:48:43.239 --> 02:48:50.280
whole circus unit. How about a
wrestler called Big Tent. Get John what's

2256
02:48:50.360 --> 02:48:56.760
John Tenta doing? That'd be a
good name for him. Big Tent would

2257
02:48:56.760 --> 02:49:03.120
be a Lee Marshall on any given
knife. Good one man. And all

2258
02:49:03.159 --> 02:49:07.399
these miscues with Sullivan saying like you
know, telling me when DDP being alive.

2259
02:49:07.440 --> 02:49:09.479
It isn't. No, it might
be chocked up to the absence of

2260
02:49:09.520 --> 02:49:13.079
Craig Leathers, who was the long
time director for the w ST pay per

2261
02:49:13.159 --> 02:49:15.760
view shows. He missed this show
because his wife had just given birth.

2262
02:49:16.000 --> 02:49:18.920
If you look closely in the credits
to the show, they actually said Craig

2263
02:49:18.079 --> 02:49:22.520
and his wife congratulations. So Dan
Bynum, who was kind of a guy

2264
02:49:22.639 --> 02:49:26.159
that Chavanni is talking not derogatorially about, but kind of talked about him as

2265
02:49:26.200 --> 02:49:28.079
sort of like a local yokel guy, like a local access kind of guy

2266
02:49:28.559 --> 02:49:33.799
that kind of was thrust into,
you know, higher level national television production,

2267
02:49:33.840 --> 02:49:37.040
didn't quite know what he was doing, was elevated to produce this pay

2268
02:49:37.079 --> 02:49:39.440
per view for this night. So
that might be where to point your finger.

2269
02:49:39.559 --> 02:49:43.600
Not perhaps not fair to mister Bynum, but something that was noted.

2270
02:49:43.120 --> 02:49:46.040
And I know a lot of miscues
here, and I've heard Chavanni point at

2271
02:49:46.040 --> 02:49:52.399
buying him before for some of the
production missteps that have been observed on ww

2272
02:49:52.600 --> 02:49:58.479
AND broadcasts. Yeah, so yeah, you heard the whole thing. What's

2273
02:49:58.559 --> 02:50:01.319
upon a time you land far away, It's just you can't believe your eyes.

2274
02:50:01.399 --> 02:50:05.879
You can't believe that someone greenlet this
pardon the pun, and then it's

2275
02:50:05.959 --> 02:50:07.440
you know, they thought it would
be over. I just I always wonder

2276
02:50:07.479 --> 02:50:11.920
when I think this, like what
crowd reaction did they expect in their mind?

2277
02:50:13.159 --> 02:50:16.479
Is they would have put it out
there if they expected the object silence

2278
02:50:16.520 --> 02:50:20.360
they got. But what did they
expect people to do? But just and

2279
02:50:20.559 --> 02:50:28.920
and and not only that, but
when you what are you expecting? Like,

2280
02:50:30.079 --> 02:50:33.639
what are you thinking when you're having
people dress up as the characters?

2281
02:50:33.959 --> 02:50:39.600
Right? As well? It's one
thing to have Kevin Nash play Oz and

2282
02:50:39.799 --> 02:50:43.559
play that thing, but then which
I'm not saying it's it's a good choice,

2283
02:50:43.639 --> 02:50:46.719
but it's a choice. But then
you go that extra step and actually

2284
02:50:46.840 --> 02:50:54.239
have Dorothy and the Lion and the
Scarecrow and the tin Man like, so,

2285
02:50:54.479 --> 02:51:00.280
not only are you trying to convince
us that Oz is the real Oz

2286
02:51:00.520 --> 02:51:03.840
Wizard of Oz, but you're also
trying to make us believe that the Wizard

2287
02:51:03.879 --> 02:51:07.639
of Oz is a true story.
On top of that, yes, that

2288
02:51:07.719 --> 02:51:13.879
can be realized in wrestling. I
don't get it. It's so bizarre.

2289
02:51:15.280 --> 02:51:18.159
Clip we played from Kevin Sullivan in
part one, he made reference to Janie

2290
02:51:18.200 --> 02:51:22.040
Angel who's the longtime sort of assistant
to whoever the w W boss is at

2291
02:51:22.040 --> 02:51:24.920
the moment, from Dusty to Bischoff, And I guess she's involved. I

2292
02:51:24.959 --> 02:51:26.959
don't know if she's in the Dorothy
costume. Because they shoot those Wizard of

2293
02:51:28.000 --> 02:51:31.159
Oz characters from behind exclusively. You
don't really get a yeah, you never

2294
02:51:31.239 --> 02:51:33.680
see a front on view of them
at all, trying to create kind of

2295
02:51:33.719 --> 02:51:37.959
like a thing and trying to create
like a I don't know, like a

2296
02:51:39.040 --> 02:51:43.520
tableau of imagery they want to associate
with this character, and it's it's a

2297
02:51:43.959 --> 02:51:46.840
castle too, like, you know, that's not what the Emerald City looks

2298
02:51:46.920 --> 02:51:52.559
like. No, the Emerald City
is all fucking art deco, shiny green,

2299
02:51:54.120 --> 02:51:56.920
you know, it's very nineteen thirties, Like, that's not what that

2300
02:51:56.159 --> 02:52:00.799
is. Nash does look massive with
his back to them and his cape on

2301
02:52:00.920 --> 02:52:05.000
his super Shredder cape essentially, Yeah, I know, yep, that fucking

2302
02:52:05.159 --> 02:52:11.719
idiotic like hat from I don't know
where. And I guess a lot of

2303
02:52:11.799 --> 02:52:16.680
the pyrotechnic effects left a strong smell
of sulfur in the air that spectators were

2304
02:52:16.719 --> 02:52:20.479
complaining about. According to the Observer, that was a big distraction on things

2305
02:52:20.959 --> 02:52:24.000
but yeah, they just put over
how big he is. As you heard

2306
02:52:24.559 --> 02:52:28.520
Ian's he got those huge eyes do
Kevin Nash's eyes are all bugged out,

2307
02:52:28.520 --> 02:52:33.319
and he's got like a Santa be
basically colored white, I know. And

2308
02:52:33.520 --> 02:52:39.319
he's got this weird, this weird
mullet thing going on. It's all bad

2309
02:52:39.799 --> 02:52:43.040
when you think about Kevin Nash and
what a premium he places on feeling cool

2310
02:52:43.440 --> 02:52:46.399
in the in the ring and on
the mic. To see him in like

2311
02:52:46.520 --> 02:52:50.719
a cartoonish character like this, it's
just it's it's just something else. Oh,

2312
02:52:50.799 --> 02:52:54.440
he's such a bozo. He's such
a he's not capable of doing these

2313
02:52:54.520 --> 02:52:58.120
kind of characters. He's just not. It's not gonna work. He can

2314
02:52:58.200 --> 02:53:01.280
never get the conviction in his face. He tries to. He looks so

2315
02:53:01.520 --> 02:53:05.360
hokey, you know, when a
guy with his discons to do it,

2316
02:53:05.440 --> 02:53:09.840
especially coming to know as real personality
as we did, it's just impossible.

2317
02:53:09.079 --> 02:53:16.000
Yep, it's all it's all bad. So it's all bad. He does

2318
02:53:16.079 --> 02:53:20.680
a shoulder bumped down goes his partner, Tim Parker, who's supposed to be

2319
02:53:20.760 --> 02:53:24.360
Tim Horner, the WCW jobber extraordinary
at the time, but I think Horner

2320
02:53:26.200 --> 02:53:30.840
had a neck injury, so he
missed the show. Parker's and blue trunks.

2321
02:53:31.360 --> 02:53:35.360
Oz just kills him, slams him. They you know, they talk

2322
02:53:35.399 --> 02:53:39.879
about how that slam will take your
will away to breathe on the commentary,

2323
02:53:41.319 --> 02:53:46.840
he's laughing, and then he puts
Parker over his shoulder for like that Bruno

2324
02:53:46.879 --> 02:53:50.479
Sammartino backbreaker position, just spins him
around, so he does the full cyclone

2325
02:53:50.200 --> 02:53:54.280
tornadoes spinning the air, lands on
his phone on the canvas, and Oz

2326
02:53:54.319 --> 02:53:56.520
puts his foot on his chest and
it's one, two three. I don't

2327
02:53:56.520 --> 02:54:01.360
think the Wizard even leaves the ring, and all six seconds a real match

2328
02:54:01.440 --> 02:54:05.040
up. I mean, I love
how people are fucking forking over their hard

2329
02:54:05.040 --> 02:54:07.239
earned dollar for this ship, and
they were plugging it ahead of time.

2330
02:54:07.280 --> 02:54:09.760
They thought this was going to be
one of the more buzzworthy things to happen

2331
02:54:09.799 --> 02:54:16.319
on the show. It was just
not in the way they they wanted it

2332
02:54:16.399 --> 02:54:20.600
to be. Dusty trying to make
it knowing it's dying a death, but

2333
02:54:20.719 --> 02:54:22.440
knowing he's got, you know,
ego wrapped up in this thing, starts

2334
02:54:22.479 --> 02:54:26.239
talking about how awesome it was.
I'll tell you what, this is awesome.

2335
02:54:26.440 --> 02:54:31.559
It's so Nash bounces and we go
to a look at what's to come

2336
02:54:31.600 --> 02:54:35.639
in World Championship Wrestling, and it's
as bad as you remember. We pitched

2337
02:54:35.719 --> 02:54:37.799
Hi Missy in the locker room,
thanks Jim and Dusty. And she's outside

2338
02:54:37.799 --> 02:54:41.840
the dressing room of the male wrestlers
and attempting to get a locker room interview.

2339
02:54:43.319 --> 02:54:48.840
She opens it up and looks for
z Man flying Brian, but no,

2340
02:54:48.959 --> 02:54:50.840
it's Terry Taylor. He's sitting there
putting his taking his boots off.

2341
02:54:50.920 --> 02:54:54.079
I suppose, And she says,
I know you just had a situation with

2342
02:54:54.200 --> 02:54:56.959
Dustin and Alexandrew York. How do
you feel about it? And he says,

2343
02:54:56.959 --> 02:55:01.280
I don't know what you're doing in
the men's locker room. This thing's

2344
02:55:01.040 --> 02:55:05.719
not over this this whole it's it's
not at all. It's very bad.

2345
02:55:05.440 --> 02:55:09.319
It's very bad. Wells. She's
carrying the yellow clown knows Mike the whole

2346
02:55:09.360 --> 02:55:13.760
time. She asks if that's his
stuff, this email stuff right there down

2347
02:55:13.799 --> 02:55:16.319
the floor in the locker room,
and and and suddenly we hear this music

2348
02:55:16.479 --> 02:55:20.520
and she says, I hope that's
not who I think it is, and

2349
02:55:20.399 --> 02:55:24.520
could he be in the shower?
And she says she's going to be the

2350
02:55:24.559 --> 02:55:28.799
first woman to interview a wrestler in
the shower. And there's Stan Hanson in

2351
02:55:28.879 --> 02:55:33.680
his boxers in the shower, of
course, but otherwise naked. And before

2352
02:55:33.719 --> 02:55:37.239
he starts chasing Missy around despite his
sopping wet hair, he puts his cowboy

2353
02:55:37.319 --> 02:55:39.680
hat on, which pops dusty on
the headset. You can hear it visibly.

2354
02:55:39.719 --> 02:55:46.399
You can hear him, you know, snort, and she's screaming like

2355
02:55:46.520 --> 02:55:48.399
no. When he starts spanking her
with his hat and kicks her butt a

2356
02:55:48.440 --> 02:55:52.879
little bit, all these all these
appropriate things, she squeals, and she's

2357
02:55:52.920 --> 02:55:56.920
so bad at acting, so bad
at pretending that she's actually like flustered and

2358
02:55:58.040 --> 02:56:01.559
scared. I know it's awful for
me to say, but she's just better

2359
02:56:01.639 --> 02:56:05.840
off just standing there silent totally and
letting people stare at her. She's beautiful,

2360
02:56:05.879 --> 02:56:07.440
she has amazing charisma, and she
can talk. But when you put

2361
02:56:07.440 --> 02:56:11.840
her in a position of having to
emote like this and like, yeah,

2362
02:56:11.399 --> 02:56:15.280
it's just I don't know, you
know, and kind of deliver like a

2363
02:56:15.399 --> 02:56:22.079
met delivering directions, not at a
work, not at all. Year says,

2364
02:56:22.079 --> 02:56:24.959
those are the world's biggest boxer shorts
on, old stand hands and you

2365
02:56:24.959 --> 02:56:28.840
can tell Dusty loved it. Oh
yeah, it's totally up his fucking alley.

2366
02:56:30.200 --> 02:56:31.319
He says he hasn't seen a scene
like that since his old man used

2367
02:56:31.319 --> 02:56:33.600
to get up in the morning to
do plumbing work and walk through the house.

2368
02:56:33.799 --> 02:56:37.719
Yeah, here he is. I
got that for you. Stop taking

2369
02:56:37.760 --> 02:56:39.920
what I never I see a scene
like That's him. The whole man used

2370
02:56:39.920 --> 02:56:43.680
to get up in the morning to
go do plumbing work and stack it due

2371
02:56:43.719 --> 02:56:46.760
to half with him fifty two bucks
for shots run in hed and she she

2372
02:56:46.959 --> 02:56:50.440
needed to run in it because that
was a lot showing that, brother,

2373
02:56:52.680 --> 02:56:56.079
Yeah, yeah, you got that
right. There's a lot of showing there.

2374
02:56:56.120 --> 02:56:58.920
Brother. Why would you have to
run and hide from your dad because

2375
02:56:58.920 --> 02:57:01.239
he's walking through the house with boxer
shorts on. Why would you have to

2376
02:57:01.319 --> 02:57:07.600
hide? Was gonna do beat the
ship? If he looks like Dusty?

2377
02:57:07.639 --> 02:57:09.040
I'd bean I think you could run
and hide for that. But he said

2378
02:57:09.040 --> 02:57:18.280
fifty two is he's talking about fifty
two waistband size. He's gotta be tape

2379
02:57:18.319 --> 02:57:20.920
fist matches up next, because every
match has to have something to it.

2380
02:57:20.600 --> 02:57:26.479
Ah, I know you've explained this
to me before yes, yes, please

2381
02:57:28.040 --> 02:57:33.879
tell me why How is it?
How is it taped fist more dangerous than

2382
02:57:33.920 --> 02:57:37.200
a fully exposed knuckle because it makes
it harder to break your knuckle, So

2383
02:57:37.399 --> 02:57:43.200
you're more emboldened to throw harder punches
because you're not as afraid of breaking your

2384
02:57:43.239 --> 02:57:46.440
hand. It's like if you wrap
your hand in plaster and punch somebody,

2385
02:57:46.479 --> 02:57:50.799
it's it's a lot better for your
bone, the bones in your hand than

2386
02:57:50.879 --> 02:57:54.000
if your hair is. If your
hair is wide open, hands wide open

2387
02:57:54.079 --> 02:57:56.159
like that and you punch someone in
the head and hit their skulls, gonna

2388
02:57:56.159 --> 02:58:01.559
break your hand, you can't do
anything, So why box gloves and stuff?

2389
02:58:03.399 --> 02:58:05.479
So again, it's got nothing to
do with that. I mean,

2390
02:58:05.559 --> 02:58:09.200
but the way they do it,
the way they talk about it, is

2391
02:58:09.280 --> 02:58:11.920
that they talk about it like these
he said, like JR. Says the

2392
02:58:13.079 --> 02:58:16.959
taped fists are lethal weapons, and
they don't get it because they're trying to

2393
02:58:18.000 --> 02:58:20.920
like say that the tape itself hurts, But it's not that. It's just

2394
02:58:22.040 --> 02:58:26.120
that it allows you to throw harder
punches for long. It doesn't allow you.

2395
02:58:26.319 --> 02:58:30.120
It doesn't allow you to it gives
you the option. Well, yeah,

2396
02:58:30.120 --> 02:58:31.200
I mean, if you're gonna choose
to do it. You'll get the

2397
02:58:31.280 --> 02:58:33.920
clue after one punch. Then know
if I did that again, it's gonna

2398
02:58:33.959 --> 02:58:37.760
hurt me and more it's gonna hurt
him. Oh I mean, I guess

2399
02:58:39.120 --> 02:58:41.280
yeah, I mean yeah. That
I was taking from boxing where they tape

2400
02:58:41.280 --> 02:58:46.079
their fists and stuff for a reason. But yeah, it's it's it's okay

2401
02:58:46.159 --> 02:58:50.040
the way they do it, but
it's I don't know, it doesn't bother

2402
02:58:50.159 --> 02:58:52.920
me too much. Just somebody.
Guys tape their fists anyway. And wrestling,

2403
02:58:52.040 --> 02:58:56.159
Oh I know, I know that
too. I special Why why do

2404
02:58:56.239 --> 02:59:00.440
these guys need special dispensation to tape
their fists? Guys can tape fists all

2405
02:59:00.440 --> 02:59:05.239
the time and often do. These
kinds of matches really rub me the wrong

2406
02:59:05.319 --> 02:59:07.879
way, and so I don't care
how good it ends up being. I

2407
02:59:07.000 --> 02:59:11.600
just don't like it. Yeah,
and I'm thinking tape fist match. I

2408
02:59:11.639 --> 02:59:16.959
thought it was a This was live, Jared says one of the most courageous

2409
02:59:16.959 --> 02:59:20.959
athletes he's ever known as Brian Pillman
and here we go, two time All

2410
02:59:22.040 --> 02:59:28.559
American Miami of Ohio. He was
a walk on kids out there and never

2411
02:59:28.600 --> 02:59:30.840
give up on your goals and dreams. Okay, Jem, I won't once

2412
02:59:30.879 --> 02:59:35.159
I figure out the translation of the
significance I just said, Barry Wyndham comes

2413
02:59:35.200 --> 02:59:37.600
out, and as long as Dusty
has the book, Barry has a job.

2414
02:59:39.280 --> 02:59:41.280
He's kneepad list, which is distressing. You know. You know it's

2415
02:59:41.319 --> 02:59:45.600
funny, Jr. You know there's
that thing, you know, don't ever

2416
02:59:45.639 --> 02:59:48.479
give up on your on your hopes
and dreams. But you know, in

2417
02:59:48.600 --> 02:59:52.319
many ways, the only way that
some people can achieve their hopes and dreams,

2418
02:59:52.600 --> 02:59:54.559
other people do give up on their
hopes and dreams. Yeah, you

2419
02:59:54.639 --> 02:59:58.799
can't need to make room, right, I mean if we all achieved our

2420
02:59:58.840 --> 03:00:01.760
hopes and dreams like, it would
be anarchy. Yeah, we'd just be

2421
03:00:01.879 --> 03:00:07.120
cutting people's throats all the time.
Right. So the leather vest is on,

2422
03:00:07.319 --> 03:00:11.440
no kneepad, shorter hair. It's
not Berry Wyndham's best look. Oh,

2423
03:00:11.200 --> 03:00:15.159
I mean there's not really much.
There's not. I don't know if

2424
03:00:15.200 --> 03:00:20.200
there is a very Wyndham good look, because I can't stand his his stringy

2425
03:00:20.319 --> 03:00:26.200
hair. Yeah, but this is
definitely not whenever he cut his hair short,

2426
03:00:26.719 --> 03:00:31.159
it's not it's not good and he
should just fucking hang up the boots

2427
03:00:31.479 --> 03:00:33.559
and to think that he's going to, you know, be positioned as a

2428
03:00:33.600 --> 03:00:37.719
world title challenger at the Great American
Bash and just a couple of months,

2429
03:00:37.840 --> 03:00:41.920
less than a month is tough.
Jr. Says he's the master of the

2430
03:00:41.959 --> 03:00:45.879
superplex, as technically perfect as any
athlete I've ever seen as Barry Wyndham.

2431
03:00:45.920 --> 03:00:48.719
And Dusty says, Berry Wyndham is
the greatest pro wrestler in the sport today.

2432
03:00:48.840 --> 03:00:52.879
So what about your son? Take
that? I know, not quite

2433
03:00:52.000 --> 03:00:56.680
yet. Berry Wyndham versus Brian pillin
tape this match here at super Brawl.

2434
03:00:56.719 --> 03:00:58.280
There's a big chef to Brian early
and Pillman gets right in his face,

2435
03:00:58.319 --> 03:01:01.200
and Dusty says, it's great psychology. Was there ever a time? Was

2436
03:01:01.280 --> 03:01:05.799
there ever a time when Barry Wyndham
was in a wrestling ring and people called

2437
03:01:05.879 --> 03:01:11.520
him legendary? Probably this show,
but it's been a while. He was

2438
03:01:11.559 --> 03:01:13.680
a wonderful pro wrestler. It's just
but Dusty, all of a sudden,

2439
03:01:13.719 --> 03:01:16.840
out of nowhere, he was like
the greatest thing you've ever seen, and

2440
03:01:16.879 --> 03:01:22.840
it's like he hasn't really He's fine, isn't. He's not a good promose.

2441
03:01:22.520 --> 03:01:26.239
He holds most people back, but
for some reason, to Barry Wyndham's

2442
03:01:26.239 --> 03:01:30.000
case, he never that never was
a gating factor for him, but it

2443
03:01:30.120 --> 03:01:35.200
was for others. Again, there's
just something wrong with a guy named Barry

2444
03:01:35.520 --> 03:01:39.799
being a serious contender for any kind
of people loved his dad, you know,

2445
03:01:41.000 --> 03:01:45.159
Flair and Flair and Dusty alike both
loved Mulligan. Mulligan in a ton

2446
03:01:45.239 --> 03:01:50.760
of respect. So you know here
we are Wyndham of course, right is

2447
03:01:50.200 --> 03:01:56.120
That's why Bray Wyatt's first name is
Wyndham because of Mike Rotendo and Barry Wyndham's

2448
03:01:56.319 --> 03:02:01.040
longtime friendship and years his tag team
partners. So push off at a tackle

2449
03:02:01.120 --> 03:02:05.200
down goes Brian Pillman body slam,
but no, it's a go behind by

2450
03:02:05.239 --> 03:02:09.120
Pillman push off. Pilman takes down
Barry Windham. Windham with a leap frog

2451
03:02:09.159 --> 03:02:11.760
and a hiplock and a flying shoulder
block and he starts punching Barry in the

2452
03:02:11.760 --> 03:02:15.319
face as Brian Pillman. Barry goes
to the corner, so Pillman works him

2453
03:02:15.319 --> 03:02:18.799
over. There's Berry Wyndham turns his
back and calls for refereing Nickpatrick to get

2454
03:02:18.920 --> 03:02:22.639
Pillman off of him. So definitely
a heel doing his work here. Then

2455
03:02:22.639 --> 03:02:28.159
he yells at him too. You
know, Wyndham yells at at Nickpatrick about

2456
03:02:28.440 --> 03:02:35.040
Pillman not knowing the rules tape fist
match. What fucking rules are there supposed

2457
03:02:35.040 --> 03:02:37.440
to be violent? And Barry Wyndham
digs into the ribs after creating that distraction,

2458
03:02:37.440 --> 03:02:41.600
and Jared's Wyndham again goes for the
ribs, and certainly Jahar would know,

2459
03:02:41.600 --> 03:02:45.920
and Jr. Turns the dusty and
dust He's going for the ribs as

2460
03:02:45.959 --> 03:02:50.479
well, catering, but going for
the rib. Daddy, I'm going for

2461
03:02:50.559 --> 03:02:54.799
the rib. Fuck it ordering door
dash at ringside book or t style,

2462
03:02:54.159 --> 03:02:58.520
so it's ready as soon as the
show's over. Give me that. I'm

2463
03:02:58.520 --> 03:03:01.799
gonna I'm order the door dash,
daddy. I want to. I want

2464
03:03:01.840 --> 03:03:05.559
to get the rib come and deliver
it right here at ring fid Baby,

2465
03:03:07.000 --> 03:03:09.200
did you ever see that clip where
someone the lights are out at the NXT

2466
03:03:09.360 --> 03:03:13.520
Arena in Orlando and you can see
Booker's phone is lit up and he's ordering

2467
03:03:13.600 --> 03:03:18.639
like TGI Fridays. Oh my god, no, I just that's hilarious.

2468
03:03:18.680 --> 03:03:22.719
What a fucking takes. He's so
happy, tucks into a chicken parm after

2469
03:03:22.799 --> 03:03:26.040
the show, and the back just
wolfs that thing down. You know,

2470
03:03:26.159 --> 03:03:30.680
he kills three bites and the things
or he get like a like a like

2471
03:03:30.760 --> 03:03:39.280
an appetizer sampler, you know,
door dash to the performance center. Tremendous

2472
03:03:39.760 --> 03:03:46.680
frommendous. Yes, So Barry Windom
hits a body slam, climbs the top

2473
03:03:46.799 --> 03:03:48.319
rope, but Pilman is a drop
kick and Windom takes a great bump,

2474
03:03:48.520 --> 03:03:52.680
kind of timber style, off the
top of the floor. Windom out of

2475
03:03:52.719 --> 03:03:54.120
sorts. His pillman then leaps from
the top rope and pops him in the

2476
03:03:54.120 --> 03:03:58.600
head with a closed fist. Dusty
says, this might be the licking you're

2477
03:03:58.639 --> 03:04:03.920
gonna get for the lick I and
he would know. Barry Wyndham pulls a

2478
03:04:05.120 --> 03:04:11.959
pillman into the post. He looks
so stupid. That haircut ruins everything about

2479
03:04:11.000 --> 03:04:16.280
him anything good. It just ruined
buy that fucking idiotic haircut. It's unfortunate

2480
03:04:18.159 --> 03:04:20.600
and it's it's a it's a shame, it's a travesty. It's one of

2481
03:04:20.639 --> 03:04:26.319
those things that you wish you could
disinvent. So even though Wyndham just pulled

2482
03:04:26.360 --> 03:04:28.000
pillman into the post, Wyndham has
busted open. Must have been from the

2483
03:04:28.079 --> 03:04:35.280
earlier assault off the the tape fist
axe handle from pillman Dusty then tucks into

2484
03:04:35.360 --> 03:04:54.159
a table talk pie in here.
I was having something. I fell in

2485
03:04:54.200 --> 03:04:58.079
nobodies and I worked in Boston.
Man, there's apple pie, little rubarb

2486
03:05:00.280 --> 03:05:05.319
fucking tabletop pie. Oh my god, tremendous is that? Oh? I

2487
03:05:05.479 --> 03:05:13.079
used to fucking when I was in
high school. I was obsessed with the

2488
03:05:13.200 --> 03:05:18.280
cherry pie. It's good stuff,
isn't it. Oh? It was one

2489
03:05:18.280 --> 03:05:22.879
of my favorite fucks in Worcester.
I think. Really it's a local company.

2490
03:05:22.959 --> 03:05:26.399
Yeah, people don't know what you're
talking about nationwide. Me. You

2491
03:05:26.440 --> 03:05:30.000
talk about table talk pies. I
learned that. Yeah, I get him

2492
03:05:30.000 --> 03:05:31.680
a seven to eleven. It's a
little pie. It's like, you know,

2493
03:05:31.799 --> 03:05:35.799
like you make an apple pieces individual
survey. Yeah, right exact.

2494
03:05:35.840 --> 03:05:39.159
It's like, yeah, exactly,
it's your own personal pie box. You

2495
03:05:39.239 --> 03:05:43.680
sit down at coffee, Oh my
god, came over, had coffee.

2496
03:05:43.719 --> 03:05:46.600
You want table talk by Oh my
gods, have coffee and talk shit about

2497
03:05:46.600 --> 03:05:50.399
the woman at I said, hey, you know what I'm gonna get on

2498
03:05:50.520 --> 03:05:56.239
latch wreaking on a tabletop pie.
Pretty smartphones. When Peggy would come over

2499
03:05:56.319 --> 03:06:01.079
to Alorie's house and talk shit about
season, Oh hi, Peggy, how

2500
03:06:01.200 --> 03:06:07.200

God, he's getting so is a is

2501
03:06:07.239 --> 03:06:11.200

of dog is he? Oh? My

2502
03:06:11.319 --> 03:06:18.879
god? You know, you know
my cousin, my cousin in the Hampshire

2503
03:06:18.959 --> 03:06:22.600
breathes them. My cousin in New
Hampshire, she breathes them. But she

2504
03:06:22.680 --> 03:06:26.719
also, you know, she's a
big fan of the Golden Retriever. I

2505
03:06:26.760 --> 03:06:28.559
couldn't live I love a golden I
couldn't live out there, all the bugs

2506
03:06:28.600 --> 03:06:31.159
and shit, Oh my god,
it's like, oh, have you deliver?

2507
03:06:33.120 --> 03:06:33.639
Do you think? Do you think? Do you think I'm gonna live

2508
03:06:33.719 --> 03:06:37.079
up there during the during the fucking
the fucking spring of the summer. Fuck

2509
03:06:37.200 --> 03:06:41.040
that shit. Can you believe what
Susan said on Friday? I mean,

2510
03:06:41.079 --> 03:06:43.120
it's three to thirty and she's already
got to have one foot out the door.

2511
03:06:43.520 --> 03:06:46.120
I'm dealing with all these patients who
are trying to see the doctor.

2512
03:06:48.319 --> 03:06:50.440
They all have appointments to make,
and she's nowhere to be found, pretending

2513
03:06:50.520 --> 03:06:54.559
that she's on a smoke break.
We know better than that. Why is

2514
03:06:54.600 --> 03:07:03.440
this doctor gonna open his eyes and
fire the people I don't like? With

2515
03:07:03.559 --> 03:07:09.520
table time? You just brought to
you by table. I've been telling doctor

2516
03:07:09.559 --> 03:07:13.479
Sullivan the whole, you know,
for months now, and she just doesn't

2517
03:07:13.520 --> 03:07:16.360
you know, you know what she
He doesn't do often taken. I think

2518
03:07:16.399 --> 03:07:20.799
they might be, you know,
someone's someone's destined to make the suggestion at

2519
03:07:20.879 --> 03:07:26.120
some point that I think maybe,
you know, I think it's something going

2520
03:07:26.159 --> 03:07:31.479
on behind the scenes doctor and the
girls in the office. He took her

2521
03:07:31.520 --> 03:07:35.520
to the cape. I didn't think
he'd get noticed. But she's got a

2522
03:07:35.600 --> 03:07:41.440
sister in the law whose cousin works
at like the True Value and Buzzard's Bay.

2523
03:07:43.440 --> 03:07:48.280
Saw the doctor walk in for like
some batteries or something in his salmon

2524
03:07:48.360 --> 03:07:52.559
colored shorts. You know, my
sister Debby, who works with Demulus.

2525
03:07:52.719 --> 03:07:58.120
She said she saw it's like you
know, when you when they're eating a

2526
03:07:58.200 --> 03:08:03.239
pie of both through their nose.
But they're heavy smokers, so like the

2527
03:08:03.399 --> 03:08:07.319
breath through their nose, you can
almost smell the tinge of the cigarettes.

2528
03:08:07.440 --> 03:08:09.559
Oh god, what what which one
did you get? Did you get?

2529
03:08:09.600 --> 03:08:11.760
I got a cherry pipe? What'd
you get? What'd you get? What

2530
03:08:11.959 --> 03:08:18.760
you kid get? She brings it
to the table with ashtrays on the table.

2531
03:08:18.879 --> 03:08:24.920
You know, this goes oh yes, yes, like Friday night at

2532
03:08:24.959 --> 03:08:31.440
eight thirty, Oh my god,
both husbands out getting blasted. I remember,

2533
03:08:31.079 --> 03:08:41.639
like it was there was a I
went to to to to build them

2534
03:08:41.680 --> 03:08:46.799
on or build them ons Mom's old
house, God rest her soul. And

2535
03:08:48.440 --> 03:08:52.600
I remember one time I went there
and it was it was it was at

2536
03:08:52.719 --> 03:09:00.200
night and and it had that you
know, we're in the kids chin,

2537
03:09:00.479 --> 03:09:03.000
I forget what we're doing, but
we're in the kitchen, and you know,

2538
03:09:03.040 --> 03:09:07.399
it's got that overhead and pure right
now fluorescent light. You know,

2539
03:09:07.559 --> 03:09:11.920
so everything's got that. It's like
you got this light on it, full

2540
03:09:11.000 --> 03:09:16.840
power. But because it's that fluorescent
look, it's still so dark. Every

2541
03:09:16.959 --> 03:09:22.399
scheme and everybody's fucking like it's like
maybe like four or five of us,

2542
03:09:22.879 --> 03:09:31.000
everybody just fucking chugging down on cigarettes. Like nobody's business. It's our fucking

2543
03:09:31.159 --> 03:09:37.040
job. Nobody's gonna know that experience
anymore. Like we're the last generation to

2544
03:09:37.120 --> 03:09:39.719
remember that. Yep, yep.
Like I just I was like, holy

2545
03:09:39.799 --> 03:09:45.360
shit, this is this is this
is Massachusetts right here. You didn't smoke,

2546
03:09:45.520 --> 03:09:48.200
but you knew what it was like
to be around smoke all the time.

2547
03:09:48.600 --> 03:09:54.000
Yep, yep. I remember my
yep. I'm you know, all

2548
03:09:54.120 --> 03:09:58.760
all of my uh you know,
my dad's aunts and uncles and stuff like

2549
03:09:58.799 --> 03:10:01.040
that, one of them smoked at
some point, and so I was so

2550
03:10:01.639 --> 03:10:09.520
it was such a yeah that that
that that smell of interior cigarette smoke is

2551
03:10:09.600 --> 03:10:13.559
something that is going to be that
that is totally lost to anybody else,

2552
03:10:13.000 --> 03:10:16.360
you know, because everybody smoked in
the house. An associating cigarette smoke with

2553
03:10:16.479 --> 03:10:20.040
being social, yes, exactly.
Think of a lot of friends of like

2554
03:10:20.159 --> 03:10:24.879
my parents and stuff that would do
with rip butts and it's like, you

2555
03:10:24.959 --> 03:10:28.280
know, like they wouldn't really if
they weren't having a smoke, they would

2556
03:10:28.399 --> 03:10:31.799
never talk to anybody. That was
like how you talk to people? Yeah,

2557
03:10:31.840 --> 03:10:35.159
you know, yep, it's not
like you talked about the cigarettes.

2558
03:10:35.239 --> 03:10:41.479
But without the cigarettes, it's like
giving an excuse because you're you're with somebody.

2559
03:10:41.920 --> 03:10:46.440
You're with somebody. I remember I
same thing happened with me. It's

2560
03:10:46.479 --> 03:10:50.159
it's it's it's a it's a weird
little name dropping moment. But I was,

2561
03:10:52.280 --> 03:10:54.440
you know, when I was working
at UH, when I was in

2562
03:10:54.639 --> 03:11:00.120
La working on you know, doing
my occasional PA gigs on the Henry were

2563
03:11:00.120 --> 03:11:05.479
all on show. I remember one
time there was a band and I was

2564
03:11:05.559 --> 03:11:09.159
taking a cigarette break outside. They're
feeling a band and one of the thicker

2565
03:11:09.319 --> 03:11:18.159
people who who you know, followed
the band was Elijah Wood, and so

2566
03:11:18.360 --> 03:11:22.879
he was there and then he came
out while I was having a cigarette,

2567
03:11:22.319 --> 03:11:26.040
and you know, we just like
chatted for a little bit as we're you

2568
03:11:26.079 --> 03:11:28.799
know, he asked for a light
on the sea and never fucking lighter and

2569
03:11:28.879 --> 03:11:31.920
so we're both just smoking cigarettes and
we're chatting about it, all perfect examples,

2570
03:11:33.680 --> 03:11:35.200
random shit. It's exactly. Yeah, that's smoking. That does not

2571
03:11:35.319 --> 03:11:39.559
happen, not at all, not
at all. We never would have talked,

2572
03:11:41.360 --> 03:11:45.520
yep, because like smoking is understood
is something you certainly can savor it

2573
03:11:45.639 --> 03:11:48.200
and spend on light in a cafe
and talk about poetry and smoke fourteen cigarettes.

2574
03:11:48.280 --> 03:11:52.799
Yeah, it's also understood is something
that can be a short burst thing.

2575
03:11:52.360 --> 03:11:54.959
Like just because I'm talking to you
because we're smoking, I don't have

2576
03:11:56.040 --> 03:11:58.239
to worry about this being a fucking
hour long conversation I get stuck in.

2577
03:12:00.040 --> 03:12:03.200
We both know we can both end
the conversations that we're done with our cigarette.

2578
03:12:03.760 --> 03:12:05.079
We have a right there, there's
a we have a we have a

2579
03:12:05.159 --> 03:12:09.000
timer. We have a tim right
here with the cigarette. When when one

2580
03:12:09.040 --> 03:12:11.680
of us is done with a cigarette, that that the conversation is over.

2581
03:12:11.760 --> 03:12:15.600
You have the option of doing it
in a way that's you know, socially

2582
03:12:16.040 --> 03:12:18.600
not awkward. You can just like
say, all right, well, good

2583
03:12:18.639 --> 03:12:20.760
talk to you man, Just you
know, put the butt out and you

2584
03:12:20.840 --> 03:12:24.319
get day exactly, Whereas without the
cigarettes, someone just has to go,

2585
03:12:24.000 --> 03:12:26.760
well, I gotta pretend I got
a place to be because I'm done with

2586
03:12:26.840 --> 03:12:31.959
this conversation. Yea kind of kind
of interesting what we lost with cigarettes,

2587
03:12:31.159 --> 03:12:35.399
you know what we gained A lot
of lost some people. So cigarettes,

2588
03:12:35.520 --> 03:12:39.200
you know, it's like people think
sigusalking is bad. Look at that.

2589
03:12:39.319 --> 03:12:46.120
All these social opportunities certainly is bad. But I don't know, it's just

2590
03:12:46.319 --> 03:12:52.280
it's things people gather around are very
important, and some of them happen to

2591
03:12:52.319 --> 03:12:56.399
be harmful. But so just have
two table talk pies instead of a pack

2592
03:12:56.479 --> 03:13:00.520
if cigarettes sand table talk pie.
You need them all all, you need

2593
03:13:00.600 --> 03:13:05.159
them all you need you need you
need a you need a Dunk's coffee in

2594
03:13:05.239 --> 03:13:13.200
uh not not you know, in
small in the cardboard cup, pack of

2595
03:13:13.319 --> 03:13:18.600
fucking marble reds and a tabletop pie. And that's that's a Friday night,

2596
03:13:18.680 --> 03:13:22.680
right, That's a whole fucking event. Fucking count me in, man,

2597
03:13:22.760 --> 03:13:28.920
don't even get me started. Is
it true that coffee goes really well with

2598
03:13:28.040 --> 03:13:33.840
cigarettes? Oh? My god?
Why how does it interact? You know?

2599
03:13:33.000 --> 03:13:37.600
I don't. I don't know what
it is, but I never so

2600
03:13:37.760 --> 03:13:39.959
those that are wondering why I asked, I have no idea. But I

2601
03:13:39.200 --> 03:13:43.120
drink coffee all the time, and
I always wonder why the two went so

2602
03:13:43.360 --> 03:13:46.360
much together all those years. There
was something I don't I don't really know

2603
03:13:46.639 --> 03:13:50.639
what it is, but it's just
a wonderful, wonderful thing to be able

2604
03:13:50.639 --> 03:13:54.959
to like it. Almost in a
weird way, the coffee kind of cleanses

2605
03:13:54.040 --> 03:13:58.680
there the taste for a moment,
even though it's gonna come fucking roaring back

2606
03:14:00.559 --> 03:14:05.479
five minutes later after you're done.
But one of the when I when I

2607
03:14:05.639 --> 03:14:13.280
was quitting smoking, one of the
hardest parts was having a coffee. Was

2608
03:14:13.520 --> 03:14:16.920
well, not even just having a
coffee, but there was a coffee place

2609
03:14:18.399 --> 03:14:22.040
where I'd always go down the street
from and and and so if I was

2610
03:14:22.120 --> 03:14:28.479
going to a job, you know, or a show or whatever, I

2611
03:14:28.520 --> 03:14:31.559
would always stop there. Imply to
l ready to get a coffee. I

2612
03:14:31.639 --> 03:14:35.920
get a coffee, and then I
would have a cigarette on my way to

2613
03:14:35.959 --> 03:14:39.000
work, you know, like when
I was working on Premonition and I'm driving

2614
03:14:39.079 --> 03:14:43.600
to Sony and I'd have my coffee
and i'd have a cigarette while I was

2615
03:14:43.719 --> 03:14:50.360
driving. And when I when I
quit, that was one of the hardest

2616
03:14:50.399 --> 03:14:54.239
things getting a coffee at that place. I definitely didn't go there nearly as

2617
03:14:54.360 --> 03:14:58.680
much because I whenever I did get
a coffee from there, I wanted to

2618
03:14:58.719 --> 03:15:05.600
have a cigarette. Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah, in the

2619
03:15:05.680 --> 03:15:09.559
morning, you know, I'd get
up, i'd make coffee and the like,

2620
03:15:09.000 --> 03:15:13.000
you know, on the h in
the house and the apartment, and

2621
03:15:13.040 --> 03:15:16.680
then i'd go on to the deck
and perfect perfect. Yeah. Oh yeah,

2622
03:15:16.719 --> 03:15:18.879
it was fucking amazing, great,
you said, Duncan, And that's

2623
03:15:18.920 --> 03:15:20.760
true. But it's a great accompaniment
to homemade coffee too. It's just like

2624
03:15:22.000 --> 03:15:24.840
absolutely, all of a sudden,
the quality of the coffee doesn't have to

2625
03:15:24.879 --> 03:15:26.920
be this big high falutin thing,
because what it really is is just like

2626
03:15:28.040 --> 03:15:31.600
a counterbalance to the cigarette as much
as it is its own treat. And

2627
03:15:33.200 --> 03:15:35.399
and it's funny, you know,
there is such like a weird there's such

2628
03:15:35.399 --> 03:15:41.719
an oral fixation. It's it's all
that you know, and and and it

2629
03:15:41.879 --> 03:15:46.200
was it was, you know,
it was great, Like I used to

2630
03:15:46.600 --> 03:15:50.799
there are there are parts, there
are times I do you know, only

2631
03:15:50.959 --> 03:15:56.639
from only from the actual act of
doing it. Obviously not health related,

2632
03:15:56.680 --> 03:16:03.559
I mean how it affected my skin
everything, But from the actual just act

2633
03:16:03.639 --> 03:16:07.079
of doing it. I do miss
having like a cigarette with a coffee.

2634
03:16:07.120 --> 03:16:13.319
It was such a great thing I
saw not too long ago. It's like

2635
03:16:13.399 --> 03:16:18.680
a video that someone had taken of
a high school class somewhere in America and

2636
03:16:18.719 --> 03:16:22.920
the eighties, and these kids are
fifteen, sixteen years old or whatever and

2637
03:16:22.479 --> 03:16:26.799
between the eighties hair dues and yeah, yeah, you know, everybody's like,

2638
03:16:26.840 --> 03:16:31.159
why do these kids look like they're
thirty five? Like high schoolers now

2639
03:16:31.280 --> 03:16:35.040
look like babies. They don't look
like this. And it's because of cigarettes.

2640
03:16:35.399 --> 03:16:37.760
Because cigarettes make your skin look like
you're fifteen years older than you are

2641
03:16:39.280 --> 03:16:41.200
exactly, It's that simple. And
all these kids are smoking like chimneys.

2642
03:16:43.200 --> 03:16:46.520
Yep, it really does. It
affects your skin like crazy. So I

2643
03:16:46.600 --> 03:16:50.239
knew there was a reason I wrote
Dusty Tucks into a tabletop pie as Berry

2644
03:16:50.280 --> 03:16:58.159
Wyndham passes Pillman because we need a
tangent on fucking unsmoking cigarettes. And then

2645
03:16:58.200 --> 03:17:01.600
he drives Pilming off the ramp and
well railing and starts showing some big time

2646
03:17:01.719 --> 03:17:07.000
fire shouting. Wyndham suddenly feeling it, and Dusty says that blow would have

2647
03:17:07.040 --> 03:17:11.760
taken anybody out to lunch. Dusty
would know Irish whip. Pillman ducks spinning

2648
03:17:11.799 --> 03:17:16.959
Hill Savot kick on the rebound nails
and drops Berry. Wyndham who Pillman's bleeding

2649
03:17:18.040 --> 03:17:22.680
by the way after eating the rail
earlier. And he's throwing throwing some open

2650
03:17:22.719 --> 03:17:26.239
hand shops that are really landing with
impact, really awesome. Jared gets hard

2651
03:17:26.280 --> 03:17:31.319
at the sound of the impact,
starts square yes yeah. When he starts

2652
03:17:31.319 --> 03:17:33.920
saying w c W Superbra World Championship
pressling hen W. When he starts like

2653
03:17:33.959 --> 03:17:37.399
talking about the promotion, you know, we start yeah. When he starts

2654
03:17:37.440 --> 03:17:39.120
talking to the company, it's like, whoa, you know, something's happening.

2655
03:17:39.200 --> 03:17:46.280
WF couldn't match. So Windham drives
Pillman into the corner. They talk

2656
03:17:46.360 --> 03:17:50.079
about how every year in the National
Football League they give the Courage Award to

2657
03:17:50.159 --> 03:17:54.840
a player, and Pillman won it. When he's on the Bengal Oh My

2658
03:17:54.959 --> 03:18:01.840
God Jr. In the Sports pages
Man a dangerous combination. They're throwing hard

2659
03:18:01.840 --> 03:18:05.040
and then Windham just snatches him and
lift him and dumps him of the back

2660
03:18:05.079 --> 03:18:09.319
suplex and then headlock push off by
Pilman who does the drop down and they

2661
03:18:09.399 --> 03:18:13.799
both bond heads. Dusty says he's
seen two rams way up in Colorado do

2662
03:18:13.959 --> 03:18:16.959
that to each other. It's Barry
Windham lands in right hands, hooks a

2663
03:18:16.000 --> 03:18:20.559
suplex. But no Pillman here's talking
about He's talking about the football team.

2664
03:18:20.559 --> 03:18:24.159
No, I don't think so,
spoking on Leon White j Rs. Is

2665
03:18:24.159 --> 03:18:26.040
flying. Brian will ascend to the
stars to take a chance, which means

2666
03:18:26.159 --> 03:18:31.040
which means he's climbing the top rope, but a Windham shoves Nick Patrick out

2667
03:18:31.079 --> 03:18:35.600
of the way and with the referee
kind of trying to gather as wits,

2668
03:18:35.120 --> 03:18:39.680
Windham lands a low blow one Pillman
and then a wonderful middle rope superplex and

2669
03:18:39.760 --> 03:18:45.200
a beautiful float over by Wyndham into
the cover one, two and three.

2670
03:18:45.319 --> 03:18:48.319
Berry Windham pins Brian Pillman in the
tape fist match six minutes and eight seconds.

2671
03:18:48.360 --> 03:18:54.319
It's super brawl, really tight,
good good wrestling here. I guess

2672
03:18:54.559 --> 03:18:58.319
I wasn't a fan. It's just
I'm I'm a fan of the again.

2673
03:18:58.440 --> 03:19:01.840
Like I said, it, the
whole, the whole gimmick of it all

2674
03:19:01.920 --> 03:19:05.120
just really ruins the whole thing for
me, and I can't get past it.

2675
03:19:05.280 --> 03:19:07.840
It's so hard. It finish has
almost nothing to do with the tape

2676
03:19:07.879 --> 03:19:11.559
fists. It's almost a non factor. It's right right, and and that

2677
03:19:11.680 --> 03:19:13.840
kind of is what rubs me the
wrong way is because like they make a

2678
03:19:13.879 --> 03:19:16.959
big deal out of it being this
tape fifth match, but there's so little

2679
03:19:16.040 --> 03:19:20.319
having to do with the actual punching
that was Dusty Man all cage matches,

2680
03:19:22.280 --> 03:19:26.479
gimmick match on every single thing on
the show. It it was ridiculous bunk

2681
03:19:26.520 --> 03:19:31.120
house matches like just stop after the
bell. Wyndham keeps pummeling Pillman's head and

2682
03:19:31.239 --> 03:19:35.319
kicking and stomping it, and Dusty
calls the superplex the most famous maneuver and

2683
03:19:35.360 --> 03:19:37.799
pro wrestling outside of the Figure four, which I've never heard before, and

2684
03:19:39.200 --> 03:19:41.719
fortunately for us, DDP is standing
by and he starts saying, please shut

2685
03:19:41.840 --> 03:19:46.440
up, everyone, please, because
he doesn't know he's on a live hot

2686
03:19:46.520 --> 03:19:50.680
mike. And then someone goes,
h come on, it was DDP.

2687
03:19:50.760 --> 03:19:56.440
You can tell he's restless wherever he's
nervously. It's too much man. He

2688
03:19:56.559 --> 03:19:58.479
goes, are we live. I
don't know why I didn't. I don't

2689
03:19:58.479 --> 03:20:00.799
know why I didn't have this.
I fucking I should have had this.

2690
03:20:01.000 --> 03:20:03.680
I don't know why I didn't grab
this one. So we live. That's

2691
03:20:03.760 --> 03:20:05.959
right? And then he realizes we
are, and he goes, that's right.

2692
03:20:07.000 --> 03:20:09.639
You got DDP here chairman of the
board of the Diamond Exchange, and

2693
03:20:09.680 --> 03:20:13.920
he's got two women on his arm, and he says, it's gotta make

2694
03:20:13.959 --> 03:20:18.319
you five. And Diamer's envious that
you know, a man like DDP can

2695
03:20:18.680 --> 03:20:22.520
be in a position like this.
He says, good God. He talks

2696
03:20:22.520 --> 03:20:24.479
about how he told the world he's
going to have those straps around the free

2697
03:20:24.559 --> 03:20:28.360
birds and he does, talked about
Fantasia coming out of nowhere. Says he's

2698
03:20:28.399 --> 03:20:33.360
got money, he hasn't folded yet, and he says the delicious Diamond Dolls

2699
03:20:33.360 --> 03:20:37.879
and now the Diamond Mine are in
a full effect today at SuperBrawl Matches of

2700
03:20:37.959 --> 03:20:41.000
all matches, two super egos.
He talks about as the Steiners are going

2701
03:20:41.079 --> 03:20:46.840
to face Lex Luger and Sting as
the Jersey accent bleeds through a little bit

2702
03:20:46.920 --> 03:20:50.840
at its attempts to talk like Dusty
Rhodes. They show a video which was

2703
03:20:52.200 --> 03:20:56.079
played a lot on television, leading
in which shows the Steiners and Sting and

2704
03:20:56.159 --> 03:21:01.200
Luger just being valiant baby faces and
action. Why why is this happening now?

2705
03:21:01.600 --> 03:21:05.760
It's so weird. It's almost like
they had a notion that Sting and

2706
03:21:05.840 --> 03:21:09.479
Luger would be guests on The Diamond
Mine, and when it came time to

2707
03:21:09.760 --> 03:21:11.360
actually have them do the talk show
segment, they just said, let's play

2708
03:21:11.360 --> 03:21:15.079
the video because you would have enough
time. That's really what it seemed like.

2709
03:21:15.159 --> 03:21:18.040
This is supposed to be almost like
a stand in for having Luger and

2710
03:21:18.079 --> 03:21:20.959
Sting on the talk show segment,
because that's what the Diamond Mine was.

2711
03:21:20.000 --> 03:21:24.079
It was like Piper's pet or whatever. Yeah, but then why would you

2712
03:21:24.200 --> 03:21:28.399
also have if you're going to do
that, why would you have the thing

2713
03:21:28.479 --> 03:21:31.840
that happens afterward? They debut Scott
Hall. I don't know what they were

2714
03:21:31.920 --> 03:21:33.479
thinking, no clue. Maybe it's
a one two punch on the segment.

2715
03:21:33.479 --> 03:21:37.319
I don't know. Maybe maybe Diamond
stud would have gone face to face with

2716
03:21:37.479 --> 03:21:39.280
Luger and Sting, I don't know, but it doesn't happen the video.

2717
03:21:39.319 --> 03:21:43.719
Actually, I was mistaken that video
I mentioned that montage plays later. What

2718
03:21:43.840 --> 03:21:48.680
plays here is just a standard green
screen Luger and Sting promo for the match,

2719
03:21:48.200 --> 03:21:52.159
talking about the butterflies and adrenaline flowing
and how they're going to be up

2720
03:21:52.159 --> 03:21:56.959
against the measuring sticks and the steiners, and talking about how the walk it's

2721
03:21:58.000 --> 03:22:00.639
coming in just a few more breaths. And just as much as you guys

2722
03:22:00.680 --> 03:22:03.360
are nervous in the audience, all
four of us are nervous, the total

2723
03:22:03.399 --> 03:22:05.879
package of myself are both very very
ready for this. Okay, Sting,

2724
03:22:07.200 --> 03:22:09.280
he says, good luck, you're
gonna need it. They weren't brilliant enough

2725
03:22:09.280 --> 03:22:13.000
to have them out here and show
enough flicker and flare full mind so awful,

2726
03:22:15.000 --> 03:22:18.319
awful promo by both of them.
Lutheran was okay, now, this

2727
03:22:18.440 --> 03:22:20.079
is a real Glimpson. What people
did knock on staying back when he first

2728
03:22:20.120 --> 03:22:22.319
got to make a push with them, Yea, he couldn't carry him.

2729
03:22:22.399 --> 03:22:24.639
He couldn't carry a tune in the
mic at all. He figured that out

2730
03:22:24.719 --> 03:22:30.120
over time. But this is why
people were like, he's not he's not

2731
03:22:30.319 --> 03:22:33.680
anywhere near Hogan's stratosphere because he can't
talk people in the buildings. He just

2732
03:22:33.719 --> 03:22:37.280
can't do it. People say he
was booked poorly and he had bad programs,

2733
03:22:37.319 --> 03:22:39.520
and that's true, but even if
he had great programs, he wouldn't

2734
03:22:39.520 --> 03:22:43.559
be able to come anywhere close to
maximizing the box office appeal of the match

2735
03:22:43.600 --> 03:22:48.479
on this totally, totally so pieces
good luck, you're gonna need it.

2736
03:22:48.520 --> 03:22:50.719
And he kind of talks about the
two as if they were too afraid to

2737
03:22:50.760 --> 03:22:54.200
come on the Diamond Mine, so
he says, I'm gonna bring up my

2738
03:22:54.319 --> 03:22:56.920
latest edition instead. He's twisted steel, he's sex appeal and good ga.

2739
03:22:58.440 --> 03:23:01.000
He's six foot seven and two hundred
ninety three point ninety three pounds. His

2740
03:23:01.120 --> 03:23:05.120
name is the Diamond stud and here
he comes with one strap up on his

2741
03:23:05.239 --> 03:23:11.520
overalls. DDP says he was looking
for a special dudet for this man to

2742
03:23:11.559 --> 03:23:13.399
be on the road with. We're
coming from town to town, across the

2743
03:23:13.440 --> 03:23:16.920
country and around the world, and
I'll show you what you've got to do

2744
03:23:16.639 --> 03:23:20.840
to audition a studet. And they
peel off his pants and he's got packing

2745
03:23:20.879 --> 03:23:24.799
trunks on. He's supposed to be
like this hunk of man meat or whatever

2746
03:23:24.879 --> 03:23:28.120
the fuck they're going for here.
I mean he this is still this is

2747
03:23:28.200 --> 03:23:33.719
still like you know, a w
A. Scott Hall in terms of his

2748
03:23:33.840 --> 03:23:37.360
size, just not his look.
He was massive, not a slow Yeah,

2749
03:23:37.360 --> 03:23:41.319
and he's got the razor mone look
with that massive physique, like not

2750
03:23:41.600 --> 03:23:45.840
leaning like he would end up becoming
at all. Not the drug test at

2751
03:23:45.920 --> 03:23:50.159
WWF that was actually Remember a small
part of the trial of his life was

2752
03:23:50.760 --> 03:23:56.120
Hall saying at one point that they
were going to if they did call witnesses

2753
03:23:56.239 --> 03:24:00.639
in Titans defense, that they were
going to call him because he'd be able

2754
03:24:00.680 --> 03:24:03.639
to credibly go up there and say, look, if this uh, if

2755
03:24:03.680 --> 03:24:07.719
this company is just about rewarding people
who take steroids to get supernatural physiques,

2756
03:24:07.799 --> 03:24:11.360
then my story doesn't take any sense
because I did all my rooting before I

2757
03:24:11.479 --> 03:24:15.079
came here. I came here,
I got smaller, I got off the

2758
03:24:15.120 --> 03:24:18.159
gas, and I had the most
successful career years of my career, right

2759
03:24:18.680 --> 03:24:20.760
right. He ultimately, as we
know, was never called its Vince called

2760
03:24:20.799 --> 03:24:26.239
no witnesses ultimately, but apparently that
it's didn't need a defense. I don't

2761
03:24:26.239 --> 03:24:30.879
need and I don't need to be
defended beyond nothing wrong. It's exactly right.

2762
03:24:31.440 --> 03:24:39.520
Everything I did was in the legal
realm of the WWE. We are

2763
03:24:39.600 --> 03:24:43.840
a legal company. I think I'm
disputing that. Not yet, at least.

2764
03:24:46.200 --> 03:24:50.559
So DDP says it's going to be
hunk hysteria, and Damon stud already

2765
03:24:50.559 --> 03:24:52.479
has the toothpick. He doesn't say
a word, so nope, nope,

2766
03:24:52.520 --> 03:24:56.479
we can't tell how close he is
to the razor ram own gimmick fully formed

2767
03:24:56.559 --> 03:24:58.479
quite yet. But the toothpick is
there all the girls. I think it's

2768
03:24:58.799 --> 03:25:03.159
I I do think it's. It's
it's it's a pretty crazy thing that both

2769
03:25:03.399 --> 03:25:11.360
Paul and Nash debut in WCW on
the same night. Absolutely true, And

2770
03:25:11.479 --> 03:25:15.440
that's what Bischoff would leverage in describing
the nWo is something other than an attempt

2771
03:25:15.479 --> 03:25:18.719
to convince the audience that WWF was
involved, was to say that they actually,

2772
03:25:20.040 --> 03:25:24.159
you know, walk the exact same
path initially in WCW and would have

2773
03:25:24.280 --> 03:25:28.639
reason to want to come back here
to seek so stupid compense for the way

2774
03:25:28.639 --> 03:25:33.600
they were treated and the gimmicks they
were saddled with. Essentially, so DDP

2775
03:25:33.719 --> 03:25:37.159
delivers the IMDDP and you're not lying, and then it keeps talking and you

2776
03:25:37.280 --> 03:25:39.239
realize he thinks he's off the air
as he starts seeing things like hey girls,

2777
03:25:39.319 --> 03:25:43.440
girls come here, and this is
where he drops the fuck line and

2778
03:25:45.159 --> 03:25:48.639
all of that, And Jared says, well, that was quite a debut.

2779
03:25:48.760 --> 03:25:52.200
Here. Let's go to Gary Competta. There comes Sid from anywhere he

2780
03:25:52.319 --> 03:25:56.440
darned well pleases, and two anywhere
he darned will pleases as we learned.

2781
03:25:56.600 --> 03:26:00.799
Yeah, you're damn right, Sid
Vicious barking into the camera with Theissler pyro

2782
03:26:00.959 --> 03:26:03.479
on behind him. He's totally massive. He gets in the ring, takes

2783
03:26:03.479 --> 03:26:07.959
a knee, and he's facing seven
seven four fifty four from Argentina with some

2784
03:26:09.040 --> 03:26:11.159
red flames on his piro entrance,
the largest athlete in the world, El

2785
03:26:11.200 --> 03:26:18.879
Gihonte, and he hate there it
again, thank you, And he pulls

2786
03:26:18.920 --> 03:26:22.920
the stretcher with some difficulty to the
ring because this one has to be a

2787
03:26:22.000 --> 03:26:26.120
stretcher match. Yes, yes,
of course, and then he sets the

2788
03:26:26.200 --> 03:26:30.360
gurney down. He carries it all
the way down the ramp and then just

2789
03:26:30.440 --> 03:26:33.399
sets it down at the end of
the ram, right, But it wasn't

2790
03:26:33.440 --> 03:26:37.479
cooperating when he tried to wheel it
down there, so it's said verse Gigante

2791
03:26:37.639 --> 03:26:41.040
and Sid's WCW curtain call match,
and said, is definitely looking up at

2792
03:26:41.120 --> 03:26:46.840
Guyante. They found someone to dwarf
the man. It's really kind of fascinating

2793
03:26:46.159 --> 03:26:52.120
because I've never seen Sid ever looks
so small against somebody at once. It's

2794
03:26:52.200 --> 03:26:58.639
wild. Yeah, he never came
up against like, you know, Ron

2795
03:26:58.719 --> 03:27:05.239
Ree Sir, not Collie or anybody
like that. So I said, it's

2796
03:27:05.280 --> 03:27:07.159
th ropes and Gante' shoulder nudges him. No one budgets lock up. Sid

2797
03:27:07.239 --> 03:27:11.200
shoved off into the ropes and Sid
does a nice job kind of flailing about

2798
03:27:11.200 --> 03:27:13.559
the ring like this guy's outpower.
Sure, sure, that's up to the

2799
03:27:13.639 --> 03:27:16.639
lock up and they break does he
says he can move and he can do

2800
03:27:16.680 --> 03:27:20.799
the road shuffle. Sid calls for
the test of strength and kicks him in

2801
03:27:20.799 --> 03:27:22.600
the gut when he goes for it, and he sells wobbling like he's in

2802
03:27:22.680 --> 03:27:26.360
the breeze fucking Aleciante. Man.
His selling, like what is he doing?

2803
03:27:28.040 --> 03:27:31.879
It's a it's a reminder of why
it is embarrassing to be a wrestling

2804
03:27:31.959 --> 03:27:37.719
fan totally. He sells like strikes
like he's like he's a like a Halloween

2805
03:27:37.760 --> 03:27:41.000
decoration. You put on stakes in
your front lawn blows in the wind.

2806
03:27:41.120 --> 03:27:52.360
You know, it's so awful.
First whippon, he's so stiff. Oh

2807
03:27:52.520 --> 03:27:56.120
is he ever? Like I never
understood why people thought he was worth anything.

2808
03:27:56.159 --> 03:28:00.559
Well you know what people thought that. I mean, I know why

2809
03:28:00.639 --> 03:28:05.159
they did. But his ability in
the ring totally takes away from any sort

2810
03:28:05.200 --> 03:28:11.239
of credibility from his size. Yeah, yeah, it's just not he doesn't

2811
03:28:11.280 --> 03:28:13.959
have an athletic gift that it required
that pro wrestling requires. You know,

2812
03:28:15.040 --> 03:28:16.440
you can say, oh, he's
this big, plus he's a basketball player,

2813
03:28:16.479 --> 03:28:20.600
but the fact of the matter is
basketball players who are that big don't

2814
03:28:20.639 --> 03:28:22.440
have to be particularly good athletes.
They really don't have to be right,

2815
03:28:24.120 --> 03:28:28.760
even though they are athletes. Yeah, it's it's really really bad. He

2816
03:28:28.840 --> 03:28:31.719
does a clothes line an hour late, and Sid Bales Jr. Speaks of

2817
03:28:31.760 --> 03:28:35.600
the tremendous tendon strength in the hands
of the claw that El Giante is able

2818
03:28:35.639 --> 03:28:37.799
to apply and say, they say
it's beyond compare as Sid kicks him low.

2819
03:28:39.479 --> 03:28:41.079
I think I think that was the
idea. Gante leaps and turns with

2820
03:28:41.120 --> 03:28:43.239
a grimace on his face, like
he took a shot to the balls and

2821
03:28:43.280 --> 03:28:46.440
then Sid starts kicking the legs of
Gante and he bounces around like a clown.

2822
03:28:46.479 --> 03:28:52.440
He sells like he's tipping over gradually. Then Sid drives Gante in the

2823
03:28:52.479 --> 03:28:54.479
corner and does the charge. Ghana
gets the boot up and then puts the

2824
03:28:54.520 --> 03:28:58.799
claw on, and that brings Sid
down to the bat. Referee counts him

2825
03:28:58.799 --> 03:29:03.000
down one, two three with the
claw on Sid's head. You better believe

2826
03:29:03.040 --> 03:29:05.120
Sid rolls the shoulder right after the
three count slaps. But that's fine.

2827
03:29:05.799 --> 03:29:11.920
And in two minutes, but no
one went on a stretcher. No one

2828
03:29:11.959 --> 03:29:16.040
went on a stretcher. That's exactly
correct. You have correctly observed that,

2829
03:29:16.280 --> 03:29:22.680
and it's as absurd as your tone
indicates, so stupid. There must have

2830
03:29:22.760 --> 03:29:26.159
been some deal where they didn't think
they'd be able to convince Sid to do

2831
03:29:26.239 --> 03:29:30.319
a clean job to Guiante on the
way out, so they found a gimmick

2832
03:29:30.360 --> 03:29:33.319
match where they could work that if
they had to. But ultimately Sid apparently

2833
03:29:33.360 --> 03:29:37.920
agreed to do the honors in the
middle. One two three, Giante gets

2834
03:29:37.959 --> 03:29:41.159
the victory. That's all my supposition. By the way, I didn't read

2835
03:29:41.159 --> 03:29:46.280
that anywhere. Two minutes to thirteen
seconds here Gante keeps the clawn for a

2836
03:29:46.319 --> 03:29:48.879
while after the bell, and then
here comes the One Man Gang with his

2837
03:29:50.239 --> 03:29:56.079
afro and Kevin Sullivan to attack.
Gante's throwing on him. Sully gets his

2838
03:29:56.159 --> 03:29:58.520
back and Gante lips and dump Sully
on the canvas and a clothes and he

2839
03:29:58.559 --> 03:30:01.040
clothes lines Gang out into the ramp
and they go over to the gurney and

2840
03:30:03.200 --> 03:30:05.920
it's not easy to load one man
Gang onto this fucking thing. Oh not

2841
03:30:07.079 --> 03:30:11.920
at all, one man gang anywhere. It's exactly right. He barely lifts

2842
03:30:11.000 --> 03:30:13.559
him and gets him up on the
stretcher, clubbing away, and then Sully

2843
03:30:13.680 --> 03:30:18.520
throws powder and the eyes of Gyante, and one man Gang is able to

2844
03:30:18.520 --> 03:30:20.799
slip off the gurney and tips over
because he's so fat, and he just

2845
03:30:22.239 --> 03:30:24.680
lands on his ass on the ramp. Stully starts whipping Giante with the chain

2846
03:30:24.799 --> 03:30:28.280
and Gang hits him over the back
with the gurney, and then Yante sells

2847
03:30:28.319 --> 03:30:31.680
it like the wacky inflatable guy.
And he's left there with the powder on

2848
03:30:31.760 --> 03:30:37.360
his face and watching them walk away
like a complete dunce. It's so bad,

2849
03:30:37.280 --> 03:30:39.520
and well, of course, sit
sit nowhere to be found in the

2850
03:30:39.639 --> 03:30:43.760
zip code. They immediately try to
transition you into thinking of Gyante versus Gang

2851
03:30:45.600 --> 03:30:48.280
and jars Is Gante proved he is
the real giant. I don't know about

2852
03:30:48.280 --> 03:30:54.799
that. Yeah, here I got
this is this is just fucking horrible,

2853
03:30:56.159 --> 03:31:01.879
and they Gante proving he is the
real giant, or anywhere else a sports.

2854
03:31:01.920 --> 03:31:05.000
As far as we've seen a great
victory, we've seen the cloud youth,

2855
03:31:05.159 --> 03:31:07.399
but we also seen two other men. The man that says he is

2856
03:31:07.479 --> 03:31:11.399
the real giant. We're talking about
the one man game come in to try

2857
03:31:11.479 --> 03:31:16.440
to take the glory from the giant. Elli gun day hit backfired on him.

2858
03:31:16.559 --> 03:31:24.200
We haven't seen the last of this
great two battle of this what great

2859
03:31:24.360 --> 03:31:28.479
two battle? Okay, they cut
this out of the Peacock version, but

2860
03:31:28.600 --> 03:31:31.680
here they pitched to Gordon Soley in
the control center going over the upcoming Great

2861
03:31:31.680 --> 03:31:35.520
American Bash Tour, and they list
all the cities the Bash is coming to

2862
03:31:35.680 --> 03:31:39.040
in typical Bash fashion. Remember this
kind of surprised as an art of war

2863
03:31:39.159 --> 03:31:45.879
games that there was more Bash tours
with war games matches. After Dusty left

2864
03:31:45.920 --> 03:31:50.280
and Needy eight and they come back
some week, Piro is shooting off.

2865
03:31:50.399 --> 03:31:52.600
They cut that out, but it's
the lowering of the cage the thunderdome cage

2866
03:31:52.639 --> 03:31:58.479
for Ron Simmons versus Butcher Reid h
And when it finally gets into position position,

2867
03:31:58.559 --> 03:32:01.719
they hit the jazzy peppy music for
the lethargic hacksaw Butcher Reid, who's

2868
03:32:01.799 --> 03:32:07.760
massive but isn't making his way to
the amount of intensity he is just it's

2869
03:32:09.360 --> 03:32:11.719
it's not good. Is he a
two time All American linebacker at Northeast Oklahoma,

2870
03:32:11.760 --> 03:32:18.879
A and M a junior college power
at minni Um, Oklahoma and an

2871
03:32:18.000 --> 03:32:22.680
NAILA All American? Is he?
I didn't sure? Why not? The

2872
03:32:22.799 --> 03:32:26.559
music continues as long as he makes
the walk covering his ears, and cut

2873
03:32:26.639 --> 03:32:30.879
to the horsemen esque college kids and
suits and shades who have made it out

2874
03:32:30.920 --> 03:32:33.479
there. They're in the crowd somewhere, and they cut away to them,

2875
03:32:33.520 --> 03:32:39.559
and then Dusty starts talking about the
seminoles and how Ron Simmons was a Heisman

2876
03:32:39.639 --> 03:32:43.520
Trophy candidate at Florida State. Is
a seminole. He's trying to pronounce that

2877
03:32:43.639 --> 03:32:46.879
correctly. Referee snatches Teddy Long and
throws him into a bird cage. Part

2878
03:32:46.879 --> 03:32:50.319
of this Thunderdome cage is that Teddy
Long is locked up in one of those

2879
03:32:50.319 --> 03:32:54.360
shark cages dangling above the ring.
They start lifting the cage with him kicking

2880
03:32:54.440 --> 03:32:56.920
inside. Teddy Long that is Jared
says. They retired his jersey at Florida

2881
03:32:56.920 --> 03:33:03.799
State University and wrestler. Of course, they retired his jersey at Florida State

2882
03:33:03.959 --> 03:33:09.079
University. It's been documentary without it
out is Bert Bryndle's favorite wrestler along the

2883
03:33:09.159 --> 03:33:13.520
South Florida State. But you know, talking about Bert Bryndals, I talked

2884
03:33:13.520 --> 03:33:16.639
to him a little early. That's
some great people here today, Jason Herbert's

2885
03:33:16.639 --> 03:33:20.040
people all over here. One of
years starts from all around the world.

2886
03:33:20.079 --> 03:33:22.319
I had a fee that stay and
this is one that came to see run

2887
03:33:22.440 --> 03:33:26.920
Simmons three two et partners joined at
it right inside the steel Keys. They

2888
03:33:28.000 --> 03:33:31.000
retires him as jersey at Florida State. He was a sports illustrator defensive lime

2889
03:33:31.040 --> 03:33:35.479
another year. And this is going
to be an old fashioned fight right here.

2890
03:33:35.760 --> 03:33:43.040
I can guarantee you, alrighty,
it's a lot of football credentials in

2891
03:33:43.079 --> 03:33:46.440
one match for Jr. To sink
his teeth into it. He's kind of

2892
03:33:48.159 --> 03:33:52.680
having a feast right now. And
yeah, I'll say Simmons had signed a

2893
03:33:52.719 --> 03:33:54.799
one year renewal at one hundred eighty
six grand according to the Observer, shortly

2894
03:33:54.879 --> 03:33:58.280
before this show. So he's locked
up and ready to go and certainly about

2895
03:33:58.280 --> 03:34:01.040
to become world upon as Bill Watts
takes the book. Soon here enough,

2896
03:34:03.200 --> 03:34:05.559
Dusty also shouts out Jason Hervey from
The Wonder Years, acting like he's one

2897
03:34:05.600 --> 03:34:09.440
of several big stars on hand,
but names none other, no other,

2898
03:34:11.239 --> 03:34:16.200
Like, dude, why why?
Who cares? They just they're over the

2899
03:34:16.239 --> 03:34:18.680
moon. Jason Hervey wants to come
to their shows. They feel like it's

2900
03:34:18.799 --> 03:34:22.280
because Wonder Years is still a big
deal at that time. Oh totally,

2901
03:34:22.360 --> 03:34:26.840
I understand, I understand, but
I mean, come on, I'm pretty

2902
03:34:26.840 --> 03:34:28.879
sure this is the time Herty's dating
Missy Hyatt as well, Missy Hyatt calling

2903
03:34:28.920 --> 03:34:33.719
Jason Hervey the best boyfriend she ever
had, but it only lasted about two

2904
03:34:33.799 --> 03:34:37.280
years, and then after she breaks
up with him pretty soon, Bischoff is

2905
03:34:37.719 --> 03:34:41.440
involved in a sexual harassment complaint against
her for circulating pictures of her coming out

2906
03:34:41.440 --> 03:34:48.200
of her top, allegedly an angle. So yeah, it'll leave Jason Hervey

2907
03:34:48.239 --> 03:34:52.000
on Bischoff's watch, thank you very
much. She gets correct teamed up with

2908
03:34:52.200 --> 03:34:56.159
the nasties. But you can see
Hervey earlier too, when Oz is coming

2909
03:34:56.200 --> 03:34:58.440
down the ramp in the background,
you can see where he's sitting next to

2910
03:34:58.479 --> 03:35:03.600
the ramp. Big w W fans. So it's Simmons verse read here the

2911
03:35:03.680 --> 03:35:09.520
cage is locked and exchange punches.
What's that He's the fan, He's the

2912
03:35:09.559 --> 03:35:11.639
fan. He's the fan, He's
the one. He loved this the w

2913
03:35:11.760 --> 03:35:18.440
c W. Let's see. So
Simmons drops him ducks and hits a big

2914
03:35:18.479 --> 03:35:20.440
atomic drop and a Lariat's almost no
reaction. They are not hot yet.

2915
03:35:20.959 --> 03:35:26.079
Simmons is a baby face at all, not at all. He's he's not

2916
03:35:26.719 --> 03:35:33.159
there yet. Irish Whip and uh, he just really read leaps into the

2917
03:35:33.239 --> 03:35:37.799
cage. Let's see sidestepped and Simmons
lawn darts himself into the wall for the

2918
03:35:37.840 --> 03:35:41.000
business and starts panting on the canvas
chair. Says no one in more cage

2919
03:35:41.040 --> 03:35:45.760
matches in the Bayfront Center history than
Dusty Rhodes, and he says that this

2920
03:35:45.920 --> 03:35:48.440
cage stuff is the most important dangerous
match rather than pro wrestling. There's a

2921
03:35:48.520 --> 03:35:52.559
corner to corner Irish Whip and butch
Reds reversed into the corner and dropped on

2922
03:35:52.639 --> 03:35:58.120
his head out of the frame with
a big back suplex and then Simmons sends

2923
03:35:58.200 --> 03:36:03.600
him into the wall again. Let's
see Butcher Reid lifts a knee and the

2924
03:36:03.680 --> 03:36:07.399
cameraman is in the cage by the
way, within the walls of the cage

2925
03:36:07.399 --> 03:36:09.559
shooting. So that that stood out
to me because usually they're on the outs

2926
03:36:11.760 --> 03:36:18.440
can tell you something. Of course, Ron Simmons at this time had just

2927
03:36:18.600 --> 03:36:24.440
turned thirty three. That's unfair.
He's one of those wrestlers always looks like

2928
03:36:24.520 --> 03:36:33.959
he's forty eight, always at least
forty, if not more. But no,

2929
03:36:35.319 --> 03:36:39.559
he's thirty three years old. He's
a guy they call unc at the

2930
03:36:39.600 --> 03:36:46.600
barbecue. He's always putting somebody in
their place. Oh, I can't with

2931
03:36:46.799 --> 03:36:52.719
that. I cannot. Simon's commands
respect from the neighborhood, and he gets

2932
03:36:52.760 --> 03:36:56.840
it. Ah, and pretty soon
he's going to be commanding respect from Butcher

2933
03:36:56.879 --> 03:37:01.159
read as well. Read comes up
the middle rope of an elbow drop on

2934
03:37:01.200 --> 03:37:03.760
Simmons. That gets too and Ron
Simmons is bleeding from the head and mouth.

2935
03:37:03.840 --> 03:37:05.360
Jr. Says is Ron Simmons is
running to the seal cage again,

2936
03:37:05.440 --> 03:37:11.959
and it looks like Ron's head gets
rammed in andy blades wide open right in

2937
03:37:11.000 --> 03:37:13.360
the camera's view. With each time, with each impact, looks like a

2938
03:37:13.680 --> 03:37:18.639
little nick to the forehead. Jar
says that this is going to be the

2939
03:37:18.639 --> 03:37:24.079
fourth quarter for him if he's not
careful. Jr. It's not football?

2940
03:37:24.440 --> 03:37:26.840
Okay? Do I need to say
this? Do I need to say it

2941
03:37:26.920 --> 03:37:31.799
so plainly it appears I do.
Why is it always football? Why can't

2942
03:37:31.799 --> 03:37:33.559
it not be fine? Oh?
God, damn it. They're two all

2943
03:37:33.559 --> 03:37:39.840
Americans. Hawsman n aia. Well
guess when I'm all American too? Make

2944
03:37:39.879 --> 03:37:43.760
sure walk on. Most people from
this country are all Americans. If you're

2945
03:37:43.799 --> 03:37:50.559
born here, you're all American.
What's the big deal? Idiot? So

2946
03:37:50.000 --> 03:37:56.879
Red is peppering him with those punches. I guess that. I know.

2947
03:37:56.959 --> 03:38:00.639
We're not like all American, not
Native American. Can I get it?

2948
03:38:01.959 --> 03:38:07.360
I'm sure that's what he means.
But we are all you know, if

2949
03:38:07.399 --> 03:38:11.000
you get your you know, birth
certificate or your Green card or whatever,

2950
03:38:11.360 --> 03:38:18.840
you're all American. So take that. I can't take fat Jr. Nickpatrick

2951
03:38:18.959 --> 03:38:22.319
presiding, So this thing's in good
hands. Thank god. They shout up.

2952
03:38:22.680 --> 03:38:24.840
Butcher Read shouts up to Teddy long, don't worry about it. As

2953
03:38:24.879 --> 03:38:28.239
he comes off the middle rope with
an axe handle, and Jr. Says

2954
03:38:28.239 --> 03:38:31.079
A Simmons has been battered in the
early going here like like Dusty Rhodes is

2955
03:38:31.319 --> 03:38:37.959
shrimp and Ron Ron Simmons goes for
a drop kick, but Buttraid holds on.

2956
03:38:39.079 --> 03:38:43.239
So Simmons crashes into the canvas Read
with the fist drop and then Ron

2957
03:38:43.239 --> 03:38:46.120
Simmons starts firing up. He whips
Read forehead first into the cage and turns

2958
03:38:46.159 --> 03:38:50.440
and Ron Simmons is shoving on him
and shooting on him. It would hippear

2959
03:38:50.879 --> 03:38:54.840
Simmonson pulls on the waistband and into
the wall goes Butcher Read buttrad. However,

2960
03:38:54.920 --> 03:38:58.000
it comes back to hot shot.
Ron Simmons throat first across the top

2961
03:38:58.120 --> 03:39:01.399
cable. Would that be t be
asked by the way the top cable,

2962
03:39:01.479 --> 03:39:07.600
I guess it would be Read slams
one Simmons out of the canvas cover one

2963
03:39:07.680 --> 03:39:13.280
two nice over the shoulder shot of
Jim Ross and Dusty Ringside looking on on

2964
03:39:13.360 --> 03:39:16.399
the cage as they're calling the action
asch Read pile Dride. Ron Simmons a

2965
03:39:16.440 --> 03:39:22.120
tough spike on that one that gets
two Dusty says, it's four than one.

2966
03:39:22.200 --> 03:39:31.399
Boss. I really again, I
cannot Yeah, I cannot, Okay

2967
03:39:31.600 --> 03:39:33.600
Jr. Says Ron Simmons. Coach
the other day said Ron Simmons was the

2968
03:39:33.600 --> 03:39:41.120
first franchise player at Florida State.
Just he says all this stuff. I

2969
03:39:41.159 --> 03:39:43.040
swear to god, I don't know
anything about college football, so I can't

2970
03:39:43.079 --> 03:39:52.479
make this up even if I want
to. All when you go that crazy

2971
03:39:52.559 --> 03:39:54.920
about college football, guys, I
hope you realize this, especially those who

2972
03:39:56.000 --> 03:40:00.159
come from parts of this country where
there aren't professional sports franchises like alib Bam

2973
03:40:00.200 --> 03:40:03.959
in Oklahoma. Just screams they weren't
good enough to be pros. That's all

2974
03:40:05.040 --> 03:40:09.120
it says to us, right,
right, you have to understand this.

2975
03:40:09.639 --> 03:40:16.280
It's not like college football. Just
to me, it's you know, I

2976
03:40:18.600 --> 03:40:22.280
get the idea, and I've heard
people say, oh, you know,

2977
03:40:22.360 --> 03:40:26.200
they've got so much heart. Yeah
it's fine. You know, it's like

2978
03:40:26.319 --> 03:40:30.600
watching them play the game. But
they're children, their children, right,

2979
03:40:30.760 --> 03:40:37.120
they're they're you're in wrestling, right, I want to know who the fucking

2980
03:40:37.440 --> 03:40:39.639
the real one? He said,
he's thirty three, right, Yeah,

2981
03:40:39.719 --> 03:40:43.959
So when he was a Heisman finalist, he was like yeah, twenty early

2982
03:40:45.079 --> 03:40:48.680
twenties, probably twenty two, whatever
the fuck. I don't know, but

2983
03:40:48.239 --> 03:40:52.239
you're talking about ten years ago.
You're talking about what he did. At

2984
03:40:52.319 --> 03:40:56.319
least at least someone in your life
walked around and talked about what they achieved

2985
03:40:56.520 --> 03:41:00.559
in athletics when they were in high
school and they're like third years old.

2986
03:41:00.719 --> 03:41:03.440
But so many people do. It's
like, but to say that on a

2987
03:41:03.559 --> 03:41:07.840
national television broadcast, like like it's
going to add to you. How serious

2988
03:41:07.879 --> 03:41:11.440
do you take then? When you're
not a college football nerds, so you

2989
03:41:11.479 --> 03:41:16.559
don't appreciate the relative impressiveness of what's
being told. It's just it's insane.

2990
03:41:16.200 --> 03:41:20.600
It's like no one ever gets any
NAIA whatever for basketball or baseball or I

2991
03:41:20.680 --> 03:41:22.920
mean, it happens. But I'm
in wrestling, you know, And that's

2992
03:41:22.959 --> 03:41:26.719
probably because so many more football players
gravitate to pro wrestling than anything else.

2993
03:41:26.799 --> 03:41:30.200
But I'm just I'm here to tell
you that that's how that lands. It's

2994
03:41:30.239 --> 03:41:33.639
different with amateur wrestling because of course
this is the pros right right in the

2995
03:41:33.680 --> 03:41:39.840
Olympic Elympics. We're working pro style
here. I don't know, I just

2996
03:41:39.959 --> 03:41:43.120
it really hit me in this match, as you can imagine it's frustrating.

2997
03:41:43.200 --> 03:41:48.760
I mean, it's very frustrating.
It's I'm with you. So Butchered then

2998
03:41:48.799 --> 03:41:52.120
pulls back on the ropes with Simmons
throat on it, so he takes the

2999
03:41:52.159 --> 03:41:54.319
big bump and then he laun darts
Ron Simmons into the cage wall. Reid

3000
03:41:54.399 --> 03:41:58.280
is now peppering it with jabs as
Ron Simmons is selling almost like a boxer

3001
03:41:58.399 --> 03:42:01.920
like Apollo Creed going down cover one
two go, Ron Go, Chance starts

3002
03:42:01.959 --> 03:42:05.879
a little bit of support for Simmons. Is the match unfold. Simmons it

3003
03:42:05.000 --> 03:42:09.000
dands back and it's elbows gets free
from a sleeperhold and he whips by Butcher

3004
03:42:09.040 --> 03:42:13.360
Read and catches him with a swinging
neckbreaker, and then Butcher Reid goes up

3005
03:42:13.719 --> 03:42:18.120
top and does a shoulder tackle to
get two on Simmons. Then Butcher Read

3006
03:42:18.159 --> 03:42:22.479
splashes him across the knees. It
goes for a splash, but Simmons gets

3007
03:42:22.479 --> 03:42:26.120
the knees up and he comes up
throwing hands and a backdrop and a whip

3008
03:42:26.239 --> 03:42:28.639
is reversed and a high knee drop
from Butcher Reid cuts off Ron Simmons come

3009
03:42:28.680 --> 03:42:31.360
back attempt there and then a whip
and a double lariat, both men down

3010
03:42:31.440 --> 03:42:33.760
in the center of the ring,
and Teddy Long at this point throws something

3011
03:42:33.840 --> 03:42:37.799
into the ring from the opening at
the bottom of the shark cage that he's

3012
03:42:37.840 --> 03:42:39.239
in, and some pretty nice camera
work as they knew it was coming and

3013
03:42:39.920 --> 03:42:45.200
cut right to the circle to see
it fall into the cage. Simmons reaches

3014
03:42:45.239 --> 03:42:46.879
for whatever it was, but Butcher
Reid cuts him off with stomps. Read

3015
03:42:46.959 --> 03:42:50.639
gets his hands on whatever it was, and we learned it's a steel chain

3016
03:42:50.319 --> 03:42:52.600
that he wraps around his fist,
but before he can hit Simmons with it,

3017
03:42:52.639 --> 03:42:56.879
Simmons ducks and scores with a big
time spinebuster for the one, two,

3018
03:42:56.920 --> 03:43:01.000
and three. Thank fucking price on
Simmons pins. Butcher read nine minutes

3019
03:43:01.000 --> 03:43:05.040
and thirty nine seconds and the Thunderdome
cage match, and Teddy longs up there

3020
03:43:05.079 --> 03:43:11.760
throwing a fit stomp and his feet
Klondike Bill siting at ringside, and that's

3021
03:43:11.159 --> 03:43:16.239
this is one of the I mean, it just was not It just was

3022
03:43:16.399 --> 03:43:18.280
not not really No, that's all
I can really say about. It just

3023
03:43:18.479 --> 03:43:22.360
was not on their way. But
Read wasn't a hot heel, so no

3024
03:43:22.440 --> 03:43:26.360
one was excited to see Simmons kick
his ass, not at all. Jaron

3025
03:43:26.440 --> 03:43:28.200
dusties his four men traveling mates,
training mates, being the best of way.

3026
03:43:28.639 --> 03:43:35.120
By the way, here Jr Does
jes explain, does tell me blah

3027
03:43:35.120 --> 03:43:37.920
blah blah. He sums up my
thoughts on this fucking match. What a

3028
03:43:39.040 --> 03:43:45.079
tough match. This was not so
tough as Luger and Staying versus the Steiners

3029
03:43:45.840 --> 03:43:48.639
to about how to beat their friends
tonight. But it's about being the best

3030
03:43:48.680 --> 03:43:50.840
of what you do. And I
don't believe it's going to be friend against

3031
03:43:50.840 --> 03:43:52.639
friend. I believe it's going to
be everyone going for the gold. Jared

3032
03:43:52.719 --> 03:43:56.559
thinks we're going to see a very
competitive situation tonight between Steiner's and Luger and

3033
03:43:56.639 --> 03:44:01.319
Sting. They play the aforementioned video
that's like slow motion with Sting and Luger

3034
03:44:01.360 --> 03:44:05.040
and the Steiners making the ring walk
hitting their big offense, showing them celebrating

3035
03:44:05.079 --> 03:44:09.000
with championship belts from New Japan and
WCW. Sure, so it's supposed to

3036
03:44:09.000 --> 03:44:13.000
be sort of like this music video
that inspires you to think of these guys

3037
03:44:13.040 --> 03:44:16.840
as a great high achieving sportsman or
whatever the case might be, which they

3038
03:44:16.879 --> 03:44:20.319
are, which they are high achieved
they are high. That's for sure.

3039
03:44:20.600 --> 03:44:24.840
Before slam Jan. It's before man
called Sting. So we get so we

3040
03:44:24.920 --> 03:44:31.319
get hang hang Hang hang ye,
you know the dang hang hang hang hang

3041
03:44:31.440 --> 03:44:41.000
hangs. It's almost like curiously,
uh what should we call it? Oh?

3042
03:44:41.120 --> 03:44:45.840
God, damn it. It's almost
like, uh, I have a

3043
03:44:45.879 --> 03:44:50.840
tiger in some ways. Yes,
that's true. It's got some similarities to

3044
03:44:50.920 --> 03:44:52.799
that. We have a cutaway to
some fans in the audience holding up Glube

3045
03:44:52.840 --> 03:44:58.200
action figures of Sting and Rick stein
or there we go. Yep, I'm

3046
03:44:58.280 --> 03:45:01.760
okay with that. So this is
glub Eric confirmed. Luga comes out and

3047
03:45:01.799 --> 03:45:03.719
blew trunks with the US title and
Stinging red and yellow, and they almost

3048
03:45:03.719 --> 03:45:07.120
get hit by Sparklers on the way
down because they're walking shoulder to shoulder next

3049
03:45:07.159 --> 03:45:09.959
to each other and they're a little
too wide for the ramp. Luga gets

3050
03:45:11.000 --> 03:45:13.520
annoyed and brushes some off his shoulder. And here comes the Steiners to some

3051
03:45:13.600 --> 03:45:20.319
pop Sizzlers and their Michigan jackets,
and they're the most decorated team and rest

3052
03:45:20.479 --> 03:45:24.239
WCW Wrestling according to the announcers,
And there's plenty of signs for Steiner's in

3053
03:45:24.280 --> 03:45:26.479
the crowd. They can cut away
too, and a T shirts as well.

3054
03:45:26.639 --> 03:45:30.319
So here we go. This is
it Sting and Lex Luga versus the

3055
03:45:30.360 --> 03:45:35.440
Steiner Brothers at super Brawl one.
Yeah, I mean, this is this

3056
03:45:35.639 --> 03:45:39.000
is this is all you need right
here. Honestly, this makes the show

3057
03:45:39.239 --> 03:45:43.360
worthwide. Reed. It's wild.
It's a wild, wild match, and

3058
03:45:43.120 --> 03:45:48.079
it's a testament to both to all
four men, both teams that they're able

3059
03:45:48.159 --> 03:45:52.639
to go the way they go.
It's really it's really wild. They do

3060
03:45:52.719 --> 03:45:56.319
an incredible job. Dusty says,
if ever there was a main event,

3061
03:45:56.399 --> 03:45:58.360
this is it. And I'm thinking
this isn't even the main event, Dusty,

3062
03:46:00.200 --> 03:46:01.799
I know. So they shake hands, Luger and Rick gets started.

3063
03:46:03.440 --> 03:46:05.879
They lock up in a break and
circling and again to the ropes they go

3064
03:46:05.040 --> 03:46:07.600
on the tie up, really intense
lock ups here between these two, and

3065
03:46:07.719 --> 03:46:11.520
Rick is trying to kind of shoot
low and get in on Luger. Luger

3066
03:46:11.520 --> 03:46:13.840
gets under him in the corner,
and Randy Anderson calls for a break and

3067
03:46:13.920 --> 03:46:16.079
gets it. There's clean breaks with
the baby faces really clutch. Very important.

3068
03:46:16.120 --> 03:46:18.959
That's right, that's right, very
important. They listen, they're not

3069
03:46:20.200 --> 03:46:22.959
enemies, all right. They like
each other. They're all friends, they

3070
03:46:24.040 --> 03:46:26.399
respect each other, and they want
to beat each other fair and square.

3071
03:46:26.959 --> 03:46:31.559
There's no point to it otherwise they
want those bragging rights. Lock up Luger

3072
03:46:31.600 --> 03:46:35.719
with the arm drag. They mentioned
how Steiner's won the cup back at Starcade

3073
03:46:35.120 --> 03:46:39.840
and the IWGP tag champ. Subsequent
to that, Rick to the waistlock takedown,

3074
03:46:39.879 --> 03:46:43.239
Luger gets the ropes clean break lock
up in a side headlocked by Luger

3075
03:46:43.360 --> 03:46:46.440
takedown. Rick answers with the head
scissor back up double legg nice by Rick

3076
03:46:46.559 --> 03:46:50.680
Steiner to a takedown. He gets
waiste control. Luger scrambles to the ropes,

3077
03:46:50.719 --> 03:46:56.639
knowing he's in a vulnerable college wrestling
possession against Rick Steiner. Lock up

3078
03:46:56.760 --> 03:46:58.120
Rick with the side headlock. Luger
gets to the ropes to break that clean

3079
03:46:58.200 --> 03:47:01.200
break for everybody once again, as
Luca does the lock upside headlock push off

3080
03:47:01.440 --> 03:47:05.840
and Rick leaps into a shoulder tackle
like he was going for a forearm,

3081
03:47:05.879 --> 03:47:07.760
but Luger kind of walked through it. Luger then with a whipping a nice

3082
03:47:07.760 --> 03:47:11.879
power slam on Rick Steiner gets to
Luga with the corner to corner. Whippy

3083
03:47:11.920 --> 03:47:16.920
gets sidestepped and Rick launches a German
release supplex on Luga. He gives them.

3084
03:47:16.079 --> 03:47:22.280
Rick fucking buys Luger that one way
ticket on Luthan's the Germany very much,

3085
03:47:22.399 --> 03:47:24.280
jay or so to talk about how
it's getting intense, and then he

3086
03:47:24.360 --> 03:47:26.840
screams and he gets it. He's
Stanner line. You see, this is

3087
03:47:26.920 --> 03:47:31.559
great. I have what I love
about this. Matches like this I love

3088
03:47:33.040 --> 03:47:37.079
Okay, when they start off the
way that this one started off, like

3089
03:47:37.280 --> 03:47:45.120
some chain grappling feeling each other out, they often leave a hint of something

3090
03:47:45.680 --> 03:47:52.000
lurking underneath that's ready to explode it
And in this case we're looking to explode.

3091
03:47:52.920 --> 03:47:58.120
Is the fucking power soup plays of
the Steiner brothers. Yes, and

3092
03:47:58.239 --> 03:48:01.000
there it is. They come month
covered by Rick gets too quote to corner

3093
03:48:01.000 --> 03:48:03.799
whip, Luger hits and takes a
backdrop. Rick with the corner to corner

3094
03:48:03.840 --> 03:48:07.680
on Luger. Luger comes firing out
and early turns Steiner inside out. Rick

3095
03:48:07.680 --> 03:48:11.760
Steiner almost moonsalted selling this clothes line
from Lugar lands on his head. Fuck

3096
03:48:11.799 --> 03:48:16.600
it Luga with a whip in a
high guerrilla press to a pop on Rick

3097
03:48:16.639 --> 03:48:20.239
Steiner tag to the Stinger, who
goes wild with the running clothes on.

3098
03:48:22.200 --> 03:48:24.520
Rick goes out of the ring.
Sting then, fuck this, you know

3099
03:48:24.559 --> 03:48:26.879
what I mean? Like, Sting
says, you know what, if I'm

3100
03:48:26.879 --> 03:48:28.799
going to add two and a half
starts to the match, this is how

3101
03:48:28.879 --> 03:48:33.559
you do it. He lunges clears
the top rope with a wonderful planche as

3102
03:48:33.639 --> 03:48:39.239
only Sting could execute at the heavyweights. And it's insane. It's insane,

3103
03:48:39.319 --> 03:48:43.239
just like you just expand so you
think it's possible. All of a sudden,

3104
03:48:43.760 --> 03:48:46.280
yep, yep, and he clears
the top. Dusty's voice is cracking

3105
03:48:46.360 --> 03:48:50.319
at the spectacular and his stuff that
these announcers can really feel how special this

3106
03:48:50.399 --> 03:48:52.360
thing is. Sting rolls Rick back
into the ring, and Dusty says,

3107
03:48:52.360 --> 03:48:54.920
there's nothing like it in the world. It's World Championship Wrestling. Staying with

3108
03:48:54.959 --> 03:48:58.680
the running Bulldog plants Rick Steiner,
but Rick pops up and barks in his

3109
03:48:58.760 --> 03:49:01.680
face, so Sting hooks him does
a power bomb over the shoulder position,

3110
03:49:01.760 --> 03:49:05.760
but Rick, with his headpiece coming
off, fights hard, and finally Sting

3111
03:49:05.840 --> 03:49:09.520
just screw this and runs Rick Steiner
upside down, crotch first into the corner,

3112
03:49:09.639 --> 03:49:11.879
just like Scott used to do,
and it's a fucking rough landing for

3113
03:49:13.000 --> 03:49:16.159
Rick Steiner. Man, I would
not want to see this. They go,

3114
03:49:16.479 --> 03:49:20.559
They fucking go. Sting like loses
his footing at the last minute,

3115
03:49:20.600 --> 03:49:22.440
so Rick kind of goes uncontrolled into
that corner, staying, then leaps but

3116
03:49:22.479 --> 03:49:28.520
misses the splash. Jay I recalls
Sting and and other partners in the past.

3117
03:49:31.079 --> 03:49:35.600
I'm not sure what the reference to
is there anyway, Scott h boss,

3118
03:49:35.680 --> 03:49:37.559
I mean, you're ready, You're
ready, take it away, You're

3119
03:49:37.559 --> 03:49:41.760
ready. Scott Steiner gets the fucking
tag and things reach a whole new level

3120
03:49:41.840 --> 03:49:48.559
of intensity, all right, zero
to you know what pumps through his veins.

3121
03:49:48.600 --> 03:49:50.680
You know that he he's not gonna
stand by and let shit be anything

3122
03:49:50.799 --> 03:49:54.959
less than one hundred percent in tense. If the opportunity presents itself with willing

3123
03:49:56.040 --> 03:50:05.639
with willing dance partners, we need
butterfly suplex transition into slam and we get

3124
03:50:05.719 --> 03:50:09.040
after he hits it. We need
Scott to run around screaming like he just

3125
03:50:09.159 --> 03:50:13.799
basically killed ten people in the battlefield. And then we need tilt a whirl

3126
03:50:13.920 --> 03:50:20.799
slam and the crown the crowd do
you know what they are? They are

3127
03:50:20.959 --> 03:50:26.440
hungry for pure wrestling action. They
are hungry, he'll go SUPs. Come

3128
03:50:30.600 --> 03:50:35.639
on, well, he is competitive, he is all right. That says

3129
03:50:35.680 --> 03:50:50.200
a physical matchup. The hell I'm
that stander? He locked luck here,

3130
03:50:50.319 --> 03:50:56.680
David, Yes, yes, give
me more of that until the day I

3131
03:50:56.000 --> 03:51:05.559
fucking die. Say. The crowd
is in SCE over the ship. It's

3132
03:51:05.600 --> 03:51:09.520
so it's it's it's unbelievable. It's
like a whole the whole fucking thing,

3133
03:51:11.040 --> 03:51:20.440
the whole show, like the whole
mood changes. It's unbelievable. Playing again,

3134
03:51:20.559 --> 03:51:22.520
Listen closely for when Scott drops an
F bomb because he just can't contain

3135
03:51:22.600 --> 03:51:35.120
how how high he's going. He's
well, he is competitive, he is

3136
03:51:35.200 --> 03:51:48.600
all right. That says a physical
matchup. The hell, I'm staterf he

3137
03:51:48.920 --> 03:51:52.719
locked? He locked here? Baby? Yes, dust And I love how

3138
03:51:52.799 --> 03:51:56.159
Dusty, who couldn't do any of
this, still loves it. You know

3139
03:51:56.879 --> 03:51:58.719
I did. I like that about
Dusty a lot like he can. Yes,

3140
03:52:00.120 --> 03:52:01.559
he's not like Nash. He's not
gonna watch something he can't do and

3141
03:52:01.600 --> 03:52:05.040
shot on it because he can't do
it, you know, right, and

3142
03:52:05.120 --> 03:52:09.680
act like it's wrong. He's he
fucking he can tell that these guys are

3143
03:52:09.719 --> 03:52:11.559
striking a chord with this audience,
and he's happy to see it to play

3144
03:52:11.600 --> 03:52:16.520
out in his ring. Scott Steiner, I mean that's one of the most

3145
03:52:16.639 --> 03:52:20.959
intense in ring moments I've ever seen
and all my years watching ye oh,

3146
03:52:22.079 --> 03:52:26.840
absolutely, it's unbelievable. Something about
the way he comes in and just says,

3147
03:52:26.920 --> 03:52:31.920
you know this is going, this
is going really well, but you

3148
03:52:31.000 --> 03:52:35.520
don't. You haven't seen intensity.
If you guys want to actually allow me

3149
03:52:35.680 --> 03:52:39.559
to come up to this level and
of intensity, I'm gonna do it.

3150
03:52:39.760 --> 03:52:43.280
You know, like, this isn't
appropriate in every match, but the mood

3151
03:52:43.399 --> 03:52:46.600
was right for him to come in
and just go nuts. It was totally

3152
03:52:46.719 --> 03:52:52.680
there. It was yep, yep. One point, I just typed like

3153
03:52:52.719 --> 03:52:56.959
I just started hitting all the keys, says e K J j K.

3154
03:52:56.239 --> 03:53:03.879
I fitting sitting here going nuts.
This is why we watch wrestling hard stop.

3155
03:53:05.200 --> 03:53:09.559
Oh for sure, no question.
So yes, Scott going knots reversed

3156
03:53:09.600 --> 03:53:13.559
whip and Sting sends Scott Steiner into
a hot shot into the ropes and the

3157
03:53:13.600 --> 03:53:16.920
crowd explodes. The Sting comes back
on Scott tag to Lugar Lucre suplex to

3158
03:53:16.920 --> 03:53:18.840
Scott Steiner tag Sting baby Face for
his baby face. This is it.

3159
03:53:18.959 --> 03:53:24.280
This is Exhibit A. Steiner comes
alive with an inverted atomic drop and he

3160
03:53:24.360 --> 03:53:26.760
purchasing in the top rope and he
climbs and he hits up belly to belly

3161
03:53:26.840 --> 03:53:31.120
overhead toss yes, yes, and
Sting goes for the ride cover one two

3162
03:53:31.200 --> 03:53:35.840
not enough. Steiner purchased him.
Hits the ropes and lunges, but no

3163
03:53:35.959 --> 03:53:41.559
one home and Scott Steiner soars over
the ropes and his feet end up landing

3164
03:53:41.600 --> 03:53:46.399
on the ringside announced table of Jim
and Dusty. Luga then hooks up Scott

3165
03:53:46.440 --> 03:53:48.440
Steiner outside in from the apron to
the middle of the ring with the vertical

3166
03:53:48.479 --> 03:53:52.079
suplex one two, so damn close
as you can hear. The announcers adjust

3167
03:53:52.079 --> 03:53:56.719
their headsets. Tremendous condition, desire
and strength prevented the pin, We're told

3168
03:53:58.399 --> 03:54:01.479
Luga the whip. Steiner goes over
the top and a wonderful takedown almost like

3169
03:54:01.559 --> 03:54:05.760
as I got Fireman's carry with an
arm outside like an angle slam that he

3170
03:54:05.840 --> 03:54:09.840
does. I don't know what it
was. It was awesome, though I

3171
03:54:09.959 --> 03:54:13.239
never saw Scott do that before.
I don't even think since Steiner with the

3172
03:54:13.239 --> 03:54:16.360
whip reversed and Lex Luger hits a
power slam on Scott. Steiner signals for

3173
03:54:16.399 --> 03:54:20.159
the torture rack and he does the
side Russian leg sweep instead, but then

3174
03:54:20.200 --> 03:54:24.520
he kind of sells it like he
had the side Russian lake sweep done to

3175
03:54:24.600 --> 03:54:28.200
him, does Luger. It's kind
of a miscue. Yeah, it's I

3176
03:54:28.239 --> 03:54:31.000
mean, listen, it's it's not
perfect, right, but I don't care,

3177
03:54:31.360 --> 03:54:33.959
right, But that's kind of that's
the kind of match where it not

3178
03:54:35.040 --> 03:54:39.040
being perfect actually kind of works because
they're just doing shit to each other as

3179
03:54:39.079 --> 03:54:43.200
fast and hard as they can,
just try to get that victory. There's

3180
03:54:43.239 --> 03:54:46.639
a headlock push off. Rick Steiner
gets the blind tag as Luger drops Scott,

3181
03:54:46.680 --> 03:54:48.799
and then he eats a bulldog as
Rick Senter attacks him from the blind

3182
03:54:48.840 --> 03:54:54.600
spot off the top row. Fuck
this just fucking nails him with it.

3183
03:54:54.719 --> 03:54:58.600
Nick drops and elbow gets two on
Sting on Luger. Sting flies in under

3184
03:54:58.600 --> 03:55:01.000
the corner of your screen with the
miss dropkick on Wreck. I mean,

3185
03:55:01.040 --> 03:55:03.440
these guys are taken off from so
many angles. It's such a fast clip

3186
03:55:03.520 --> 03:55:07.040
that they're just entering the frame like
the directors don't even have time to catch

3187
03:55:07.120 --> 03:55:11.040
up to what they're doing. Stein
are not aware that Sting had made the

3188
03:55:11.120 --> 03:55:13.879
tag. Jr. Says as Rick
attacks Sting as he exits, Rick slucking

3189
03:55:13.879 --> 03:55:18.200
it out with Lex Luger side headlock
push off. Rick ducks two, and

3190
03:55:18.520 --> 03:55:20.440
Rick comes off the ropes with his
back to Luger and Luger runs him in,

3191
03:55:20.920 --> 03:55:24.840
runs into him, and they bonk
Head's chaos madness. Dusty makes a

3192
03:55:24.959 --> 03:55:28.520
great point, both men, Now
we know that both teams are tired and

3193
03:55:28.760 --> 03:55:33.079
they need to get some type of
offensive game plan going here. If it's

3194
03:55:33.200 --> 03:55:37.120
still in the process of a game
plan. The mistakes too. You know,

3195
03:55:37.239 --> 03:55:43.280
one thing I realize is the match
went on. The mistakes actually added

3196
03:55:43.559 --> 03:55:50.399
to the to the to the match
because because everything's so fucking intense, frenzied

3197
03:55:50.440 --> 03:55:52.360
pace, they're just grabbing whatever they
can and trying to smash the guy.

3198
03:55:52.399 --> 03:55:58.799
You know, it's not it's not
like it detracts from from what we're watching.

3199
03:56:00.079 --> 03:56:03.680
Yeah, it's like it doesn't cross
the wrestler's boss to do things in

3200
03:56:03.760 --> 03:56:07.399
a pretty or perfect way to get
you know, points for clean execution.

3201
03:56:07.200 --> 03:56:11.120
Right, They're just grabbing whatever in
their bag of tricks they can think of.

3202
03:56:11.239 --> 03:56:13.159
That's worked before and using it on
each other, and they're doing it

3203
03:56:13.159 --> 03:56:18.760
in rapid succession. But yeah,
the direct quote from Dusty I swear to

3204
03:56:18.799 --> 03:56:24.200
God is now we know that both
teams are tedious, they're tired tedious,

3205
03:56:26.760 --> 03:56:28.840
and they need to get some type
of offensive game plan going here. If

3206
03:56:28.879 --> 03:56:35.760
it's still in the process of a
game plan, Okay, Lugar gets the

3207
03:56:35.799 --> 03:56:37.280
tag. Steiner does too, Scott
that is, and they slug it out,

3208
03:56:37.360 --> 03:56:43.000
sting ducks. Luger hits Scott Steiner
with no control whatsoever and drops some

3209
03:56:43.040 --> 03:56:45.760
of the back suplex. He lifts
him up and almost loses him. It's

3210
03:56:45.840 --> 03:56:48.239
kind of a it's a bad back
suplex like. Steiner just goes up like

3211
03:56:48.280 --> 03:56:50.959
a sack of potatoes, but his
legs aren't hooked at all. It's all

3212
03:56:52.000 --> 03:56:56.399
the waist. Yeah, but down
he goes, staying with some right hands

3213
03:56:56.600 --> 03:56:58.520
to the ropes. They go whipping
and drop down and Steiner nails him Scott

3214
03:56:58.559 --> 03:57:01.639
that is, with a clubbing shot. Scott Stenner then puts him in the

3215
03:57:01.680 --> 03:57:05.280
tombstone pile driver position, but Sting
one of his classic moves kicks to reverse

3216
03:57:05.319 --> 03:57:09.879
the pile driver position the tombstone position
and drops Scott Steiner dead on his fucking

3217
03:57:09.920 --> 03:57:15.440
head. Dead dead happens, That's
what happened. The head wasn't protected at

3218
03:57:15.479 --> 03:57:18.000
all. Sting really didn't know how
to do this move and he can.

3219
03:57:20.079 --> 03:57:26.959
Sting collapses on Scott when it comes
into break. It's fucking insane. It's

3220
03:57:26.000 --> 03:57:31.680
just NonStop, like there's no there's
no rest in this whole thing, you

3221
03:57:31.719 --> 03:57:35.840
know, and you I don't know
wrestlers do that. Well, maybe it's

3222
03:57:35.879 --> 03:57:39.040
because you know, the office discourages
it that that's not really the way to

3223
03:57:39.159 --> 03:57:43.239
kind of preserve everybody's well being,
to raise the audience's expectations to this degree,

3224
03:57:43.440 --> 03:57:46.520
and these guys go out there and
just fucking do it, and we're

3225
03:57:46.559 --> 03:57:50.280
still talking about it all these decades
later. It turns out you can just

3226
03:57:50.399 --> 03:57:52.719
do it if you want. They
still want to, right, bring it

3227
03:57:52.879 --> 03:57:56.239
this way, study this match,
give it to us on Monday night.

3228
03:57:58.120 --> 03:58:01.760
Not hard, hard in your body. You know. I don't want you

3229
03:58:01.799 --> 03:58:03.520
to do it every week, but
do it. Yeah, I mean I

3230
03:58:03.559 --> 03:58:11.399
don't want you to do stuff right, But excuse me, it's it's it

3231
03:58:11.479 --> 03:58:18.200
doesn't seem to be. I'm not
saying it's easy, but I think it's

3232
03:58:18.280 --> 03:58:24.280
not that it's also note as hard
as maybe you think. And we're talking

3233
03:58:24.399 --> 03:58:30.280
these guys are doing some really high
impact shit, right, but you know

3234
03:58:31.200 --> 03:58:39.200
the stuff they're doing is done so
well. It's not done right, and

3235
03:58:39.280 --> 03:58:43.200
it's not done for the sake of
for the sake of Like if you will

3236
03:58:43.760 --> 03:58:50.920
shock high risk again, I go
for I'll go back to fucking idiot Seth

3237
03:58:50.040 --> 03:58:56.280
Rollins and his stupid fucking moves that
he does that really don't make sense.

3238
03:58:58.959 --> 03:59:03.159
And that's what it comes down down
too. He does moves again the Superplex,

3239
03:59:03.280 --> 03:59:13.079
into the into the falcon Arrow.
Okay, because because it involves himself

3240
03:59:13.200 --> 03:59:20.879
too in it is what makes it
really really weak, because Scott Steiner does

3241
03:59:22.120 --> 03:59:28.440
moves that don't affect him. You
know, if they don't know, he

3242
03:59:28.639 --> 03:59:35.159
never lands on his back. The
fucking double underhook supplex into the slam and

3243
03:59:35.239 --> 03:59:39.799
the tilt the World Slam don't affect
him whatsoever. Did the middle wal belly

3244
03:59:39.840 --> 03:59:45.239
to belly supplex it kind of is
similar, but not not quite as bad.

3245
03:59:46.239 --> 03:59:52.319
No, his overhead belly to belly
is is money. It's it's protective.

3246
03:59:52.479 --> 03:59:58.399
It's like it doesn't and moves have
impact. If it does impact him,

3247
03:59:58.159 --> 04:00:05.040
he sells it, And you know, wrestling, we've we've said it

3248
04:00:05.319 --> 04:00:11.000
a million times. Less is more
in wrestling. You don't need to keep

3249
04:00:11.079 --> 04:00:16.280
going, going, going, doing
all this crazy ass shit just for the

3250
04:00:16.360 --> 04:00:20.079
sake of doing it because nobody else
did before you. I think what can

3251
04:00:20.239 --> 04:00:26.920
do stuff particularly important is that,
like ahead, that you can do less

3252
04:00:26.559 --> 04:00:31.280
and make it more impactful if you
believe it and believe in it and make

3253
04:00:31.319 --> 04:00:35.799
it look good. Let us believe
in it, right, let us believe

3254
04:00:35.840 --> 04:00:39.440
that if something looks massively impactful and
powerful, that that's the end of the

3255
04:00:39.520 --> 04:00:43.879
fucking match. What's key is that
this is a tag match, and yes,

3256
04:00:43.079 --> 04:00:46.040
a lot of the things these guys
are doing are only not the finish

3257
04:00:46.120 --> 04:00:48.760
because there's another person in there to
break it up. And that's what allows

3258
04:00:48.799 --> 04:00:52.399
it to be so app going high
attack that a rapid pays, but that

3259
04:00:52.520 --> 04:00:56.120
never strains credulity, It never hurts
your believability of the match in terms of

3260
04:00:56.159 --> 04:00:58.280
a guy kicking out in a one
on one scenario, in a move that

3261
04:00:58.280 --> 04:01:01.319
should kill him, because the only
reason they're still fighting, and it's part

3262
04:01:01.319 --> 04:01:05.120
of what makes a tag team match
more epic in a lot of cases than

3263
04:01:05.159 --> 04:01:07.840
a singles match is that there was
another person in there to say, Nope,

3264
04:01:07.879 --> 04:01:11.479
that's not ending the night tonight.
And so you have to come up

3265
04:01:11.479 --> 04:01:15.360
with all this other stuff to explain
how you neutralize the other guy to prevent

3266
04:01:15.680 --> 04:01:18.159
the winning pinfall from being broken up
as well, and that and within the

3267
04:01:18.280 --> 04:01:22.440
FTR is absolutely excellent at that coming
up with like those last minute kind of

3268
04:01:22.879 --> 04:01:30.239
flurries of activity where the guy on
the other side is is somehow prevented from

3269
04:01:30.239 --> 04:01:33.680
breaking up that winning pin cover even
though the finish plausibly should have been four

3270
04:01:33.760 --> 04:01:37.680
or five six moves ago. When
it's one on one, it gets a

3271
04:01:37.680 --> 04:01:41.239
little more ridiculous because then it's just
about the supernatural ability of the guy taking

3272
04:01:41.280 --> 04:01:46.159
the move to kick out, and
that gets really hokey. But if you've

3273
04:01:46.159 --> 04:01:48.159
got a tag situation like this man, you can do so much in such

3274
04:01:48.200 --> 04:01:52.000
a short period of time and keep
the match believable due to that factor of

3275
04:01:52.079 --> 04:02:01.000
the other man. And it's here. It's here, So the tombstone kills

3276
04:02:01.079 --> 04:02:03.120
him dead. As we mentioned,
Rick gets the break, and when he

3277
04:02:03.200 --> 04:02:05.040
does that, the referee's had enough
and he grabs rick Stein or he's trying

3278
04:02:05.040 --> 04:02:07.360
to, you know, kind of
force him out of the ring. Luger's

3279
04:02:07.399 --> 04:02:13.159
over there and he gets sandwiched on
the on the charge between Rick stein Or

3280
04:02:13.200 --> 04:02:16.360
and the referee, and so Randy
Anderson is left sort of hanging upside down

3281
04:02:16.399 --> 04:02:20.879
in the ropes, falling out of
there, hitting the floor. Sting then

3282
04:02:20.920 --> 04:02:22.879
puts Scott Steiner under the corner and
hits the big splashes. Rick and Luger

3283
04:02:22.920 --> 04:02:26.559
brawl outside. Then comes Nikita call
off out of the shadows. He does

3284
04:02:26.639 --> 04:02:31.040
the running sickle from the ramp to
the back of Sting's head and you know,

3285
04:02:31.120 --> 04:02:33.319
to the front of Sting's face.
What happens is He's going to hit

3286
04:02:33.360 --> 04:02:37.600
the Luger with the Russian sickle.
Sting pushes Luger out of the way and

3287
04:02:37.680 --> 04:02:41.239
takes the move and Sting is out
cold. Nikita takes off Scott stein recovers

3288
04:02:41.280 --> 04:02:46.680
Sting one two. He wolves him
with a with a Russian chain too,

3289
04:02:46.799 --> 04:02:52.319
Russian chain, did he have it
loaded chain? Believed a Russian chain,

3290
04:02:52.399 --> 04:02:54.840
which you know Russian chain is made
with different metal, yeah, harder metal

3291
04:02:54.959 --> 04:02:58.879
than than American chain. Right,
their uranium exporters, they have all kinds

3292
04:02:58.879 --> 04:03:03.280
of natural roles and resources. Though
we don't necessarily have an American manufacturing it

3293
04:03:03.319 --> 04:03:07.920
makes a ton of sense, and
yeah, that's enough to get Sting covered.

3294
04:03:07.959 --> 04:03:11.959
One, two, three, The
Steiner Brothers defeat Rick Steiner, pardon

3295
04:03:11.000 --> 04:03:16.159
me, Lex Luger and Sting and
eleven minutes and nine seconds at SuperBrawl won

3296
04:03:16.479 --> 04:03:18.159
great match to finding tag Match of
the nineties and a lot of ways for

3297
04:03:18.239 --> 04:03:22.559
these guys. And you know,
Nikita would go on to say that he

3298
04:03:22.600 --> 04:03:26.079
didn't intend to hit Sting, and
Sting doesn't believe him, and so Nikita

3299
04:03:26.120 --> 04:03:28.520
becomes kind of a righteous heel from
there who was trying to win stings affection,

3300
04:03:28.600 --> 04:03:31.600
and then, you know, one
too many times does he accidentally hit

3301
04:03:31.639 --> 04:03:35.719
Staying and we realize he's just an
asshole, just a Sting bust that open

3302
04:03:35.760 --> 04:03:39.680
all four incredulous as to what happened. Scott checking on Sting. They don't

3303
04:03:39.719 --> 04:03:41.040
hate each other after the match,
they're checking on each other, thank you

3304
04:03:41.159 --> 04:03:48.399
very much, and let's see.
He asks towards runs backstage, asked Nikki

3305
04:03:48.440 --> 04:03:50.120
to call off. What happens,
Sting says, Nikita says Stings in the

3306
04:03:50.159 --> 04:03:52.319
wrong place, in the wrong time, and then Staying actually catches up to

3307
04:03:52.399 --> 04:03:54.600
him and nails him from behind and
they brawl like crazy. Back there.

3308
04:03:54.600 --> 04:03:58.719
It looks like a real fight.
It does. It looks like a very

3309
04:03:58.760 --> 04:04:01.040
good real fight. No one's going
oh oh and getting run into a wall

3310
04:04:01.280 --> 04:04:07.280
or thrown into a tackle box.
Oh, I's sa guys. Look.

3311
04:04:07.360 --> 04:04:09.799
I mean, I don't want you
guys to get hurt. But that's the

3312
04:04:09.879 --> 04:04:13.959
beauty of making a brawl look like
a real brawl. It's hardly getting of

3313
04:04:13.959 --> 04:04:18.200
the punch's land because you're in close
quarters and it's mostly pulling and tugging,

3314
04:04:18.920 --> 04:04:20.760
and you know, you get people
in there to break it up so that

3315
04:04:20.840 --> 04:04:24.520
you don't look so foolish. You
know, a nut landing something impactful,

3316
04:04:24.040 --> 04:04:26.360
but you're supposed to just go nuts
try to kill the guy. You're not

3317
04:04:26.440 --> 04:04:30.159
supposed to like grab him by the
back of the head and run him into

3318
04:04:30.159 --> 04:04:35.000
a wall. That's so fucking hockey. I always think about, you know,

3319
04:04:35.280 --> 04:04:39.879
when it comes to backstage brawls,
I always think about how they kind

3320
04:04:39.920 --> 04:04:43.440
of you know, we were watching
I don't remember what episode of TNA it

3321
04:04:43.639 --> 04:04:48.200
was we watched, but it was
something with Kurt Angele fighting somebody in the

3322
04:04:48.280 --> 04:04:54.399
back, and it was just like
I just felt so embarrassed. I felt

3323
04:04:54.440 --> 04:04:58.840
so like h like cringey and the
fact that is it when he runs up

3324
04:04:58.840 --> 04:05:03.239
on the head quarters. No,
not that one. It was before that.

3325
04:05:03.440 --> 04:05:05.559
It was like earlier on I think, and he was fighting somebody in

3326
04:05:05.600 --> 04:05:11.079
the locker room, and it was
just like it just felt weird. I

3327
04:05:11.239 --> 04:05:15.040
was like, this is a grown
man who's having a fake fight. Exactly.

3328
04:05:16.600 --> 04:05:18.559
It's just to keep it close.
You have to never stop throwing punches.

3329
04:05:20.280 --> 04:05:24.040
No whips or Irish whips. No
throwing people into gearboxes or smacking their

3330
04:05:24.040 --> 04:05:26.920
head against something like you would smack
their head into the turnbuckle in a ring.

3331
04:05:28.399 --> 04:05:31.319
None of that. You just grab
at each other, you never let

3332
04:05:31.399 --> 04:05:33.920
go of either guy's clothing, and
you just throw punches. That's all you

3333
04:05:33.000 --> 04:05:37.680
have to do. Yeah, seriously, guys, stop making a fucking mockery

3334
04:05:37.840 --> 04:05:41.520
of things that are supposed to be
heightened intensity angles. Stop making them look

3335
04:05:41.600 --> 04:05:46.239
like your standard issue phony wrestling match. It's the point of the angle is

3336
04:05:46.280 --> 04:05:50.079
it's supposed to be. Outside of
that, the match couldn't contain the physical

3337
04:05:50.440 --> 04:05:54.719
hatred between you two. So it
spills through the front glass door and they

3338
04:05:54.840 --> 04:05:58.079
end up in the parking lot of
the Bayfront Center. You can see it's

3339
04:05:58.120 --> 04:06:01.120
kind of rain slicked out there and
Nikita with the chain and Sting comes up

3340
04:06:01.120 --> 04:06:03.760
with a chair over his head like
he's gonna kill him, and you hear

3341
04:06:03.840 --> 04:06:07.520
some screaming, and that's the that's
the end of that. Yeah, And

3342
04:06:07.639 --> 04:06:11.239
Dusty says, it's the greatest tag
team match I've ever witnessed back at ringside,

3343
04:06:13.280 --> 04:06:18.360
and that's a big that's probably a
shoot in his mind. Yeah,

3344
04:06:18.639 --> 04:06:22.000
I would imagine taken for a ride
as the TV titles on the line now,

3345
04:06:22.600 --> 04:06:26.399
Bobby eating to face TV champion Arn
Anderson for the strap. Eaton comes

3346
04:06:26.440 --> 04:06:30.719
out. Of course they're not express
music dubbed over here, and they talk

3347
04:06:30.719 --> 04:06:33.239
about how Eaton is going after the
first major singles title he's ever had,

3348
04:06:33.879 --> 04:06:39.200
and and here we go. They
talk about how the TV title is the

3349
04:06:39.239 --> 04:06:43.719
best Dubby Stubby title because how often
the guy has to defended. He makes

3350
04:06:43.200 --> 04:06:48.879
a claim for that. Bobby chant
humble young man from Huntsville is Dusty says.

3351
04:06:48.959 --> 04:06:52.159
Part of tonight tonight being the greatest
professional wrestling in the world is on

3352
04:06:52.239 --> 04:07:01.840
display here. Arn versus Bobby Eaton
both have extensive scouting reports on each other.

3353
04:07:01.040 --> 04:07:05.520
We're told where they got those from, maybe a third party firm,

3354
04:07:05.559 --> 04:07:11.200
maybe Deloitte. I can see I
can see Arnie Anderson, okay, wearing

3355
04:07:11.639 --> 04:07:18.000
like a white polo shore with his
glasses on and in a you know,

3356
04:07:18.159 --> 04:07:22.200
a pencil in his ear, and
he's like just kind of sitting back with

3357
04:07:22.319 --> 04:07:26.719
his feet up on a table and
he's watching ta studying scouting. Absolutely,

3358
04:07:26.920 --> 04:07:30.799
yeah, right, yes, that's
what I picture. They do. Headlock

3359
04:07:30.879 --> 04:07:37.920
takeover answered by rewind it. See
how he carries his left hand low on

3360
04:07:37.000 --> 04:07:41.399
that entry. Just get behind him, are and he's never going to be

3361
04:07:41.440 --> 04:07:45.399
able to catch up to you.
And he's ours all day that that right

3362
04:07:45.479 --> 04:07:48.600
side is open all day. Oh
god, if you work the arm enough,

3363
04:07:48.639 --> 04:07:50.840
he's not going to be able to
even block the left side either,

3364
04:07:52.159 --> 04:07:54.559
you know. And and and Bobby
Eaton, if he works the arn enough,

3365
04:07:56.079 --> 04:07:58.840
he might win the match. If
he works the arn enough, he

3366
04:08:00.079 --> 04:08:03.719
might convince him that he's his best
friend for most of their adult lives.

3367
04:08:03.840 --> 04:08:09.239
Actively he stopped talking forever. Brother. So there's a headlock, answered by

3368
04:08:09.280 --> 04:08:11.200
his his re spot three times in
succession, and Eaton pops him on the

3369
04:08:11.239 --> 04:08:16.159
fourth with a right hand, dropping
him as he goes to do it again,

3370
04:08:16.200 --> 04:08:18.399
which is very nice. Jars.
There's a tremendous contingent of press from

3371
04:08:18.399 --> 04:08:22.600
around the world to observe the Fujinami
Flair main event, and it says still

3372
04:08:22.639 --> 04:08:26.440
to come the greatest ever from Japan. D't semi Fujinami. Arn't, I

3373
04:08:26.559 --> 04:08:31.120
can't believe how hard he was hit, sells it beautifully by Bobby eat and

3374
04:08:31.200 --> 04:08:33.879
it looks at his hand and then
Eaton tries to close in and wi him.

3375
04:08:35.360 --> 04:08:39.319
Arn't kicks him in the gut,
so he was definitely selling how out

3376
04:08:39.360 --> 04:08:41.319
of sorts he was. Rakes the
eyes of Eaton across the top rope to

3377
04:08:41.319 --> 04:08:43.479
the corner. Double A goes to
the gut, left hands corner to corner

3378
04:08:43.559 --> 04:08:46.719
reversed, and Anderson goes to the
middle rope and leaps over Eaton, who

3379
04:08:46.799 --> 04:08:50.959
kicks him coming in in the corner
and throws a hard larry at dropping Arn.

3380
04:08:50.040 --> 04:08:54.520
Anderson cover gets two for Bobby Eaton. Bobby slaps the armbar onto the

3381
04:08:54.600 --> 04:08:58.120
ropes. They go or senior official
and Nick Patrick, assigned to the contest,

3382
04:08:58.280 --> 04:09:01.719
gets involved as Arn slug on the
brake. Eaton goes to the floor.

3383
04:09:01.760 --> 04:09:05.200
He pulls him up and into the
post goes Bobby Eaton. It's a

3384
04:09:05.280 --> 04:09:11.000
weird eclectic group of fans sitting in
ringside on the hard camera. For sure.

3385
04:09:11.959 --> 04:09:15.360
You got a pair of like bodybuilding
looking guys, you get a woman,

3386
04:09:15.520 --> 04:09:18.440
and then you get Paul Bearer.
Were so it sh right? I

3387
04:09:18.440 --> 04:09:20.600
missed that guy. Yeah, the
guy looks like Paul Barry. Yeah,

3388
04:09:20.760 --> 04:09:24.680
this was a guy looks like Pan
News too. It was funny when they

3389
04:09:24.680 --> 04:09:26.399
mentioned I was like, maybe p
and News actually in the crowd. No,

3390
04:09:28.239 --> 04:09:31.239
So Anderson goes out there and takes
the right hand even climbs and Anderson

3391
04:09:31.239 --> 04:09:33.719
cut him off with an irag and
a rocket launches Bobby from the top of

3392
04:09:33.799 --> 04:09:39.680
the ramp. Yeah, he like
grabs him from the ropes, kind of

3393
04:09:39.719 --> 04:09:41.760
gives him the gorilla press where Eaton
comes from the top down out of the

3394
04:09:41.840 --> 04:09:43.799
ramp, but he doesn't fluck flip, He just lands on his face.

3395
04:09:46.879 --> 04:09:48.239
Anderson goes to pile drive eating on
the ramp, but it's blocked, and

3396
04:09:48.280 --> 04:09:54.079
Anderson takes a perfect backdrop on the
ramp and then arm charges and he's backdrop

3397
04:09:54.159 --> 04:09:56.239
back into the ring. Eaton climbs
the top rope and comes off the top

3398
04:09:56.280 --> 04:09:58.840
of a black handle that gets two
on the champion. He can goes to

3399
04:09:58.879 --> 04:10:03.120
the armbar and a hammerlock? What
is this? Punk house Stampede Jr.

3400
04:10:05.000 --> 04:10:09.559
Jr. Quotes Gordon Soley, I'll
describing the match here as our friend and

3401
04:10:09.440 --> 04:10:13.360
colleague, the dean of wrestling announcers, Gordon Sully has said so many times

3402
04:10:13.799 --> 04:10:18.760
it is a game of human chess
and these are two great chess masters.

3403
04:10:18.200 --> 04:10:22.200
If that illustration is true, and
I believe that it is, Thanks Jim

3404
04:10:22.840 --> 04:10:26.680
back up double a slapping the shoulder
to get that one of the better things

3405
04:10:26.719 --> 04:10:31.159
he fucking said on this night.
Yeah, that's pretty good, usual garbage

3406
04:10:31.319 --> 04:10:37.879
from It's a weird point in time
when Gordon was like fifth string announcer in

3407
04:10:39.040 --> 04:10:43.399
WCW. But they all like swoon
over him and make constant reasons to him.

3408
04:10:43.399 --> 04:10:45.760
If he's the fucking greatest of all
time, why isn't he calling this

3409
04:10:45.799 --> 04:10:48.319
pay per view? Why is he
calling every pay per view? Pretty much

3410
04:10:48.440 --> 04:10:52.680
is my question. I know he
is, like he seriously is like fucking

3411
04:10:52.760 --> 04:10:58.040
fifth string announcer. What a sad, sad day. Yeah, he just

3412
04:10:58.120 --> 04:11:01.639
he doesn't have the he doesn't have
the gusto for a national wrestling TV announcer

3413
04:11:01.719 --> 04:11:05.239
that the nineties was looking for.
He was much more kind of cerebral and

3414
04:11:05.319 --> 04:11:09.239
cronkite like, which was perfect for
the seventies and somewhat for the eighties.

3415
04:11:09.360 --> 04:11:16.200
But in WCW he was never you
go. You could feel him forcing the

3416
04:11:16.399 --> 04:11:20.319
enthusiasm. It didn't come natural to
him unless he was seeing something. It

3417
04:11:20.399 --> 04:11:22.319
was very exciting in front of his
eyes. He still should be on.

3418
04:11:22.559 --> 04:11:26.680
I mean, I get it,
I get the idea. Maybe he wouldn't

3419
04:11:26.680 --> 04:11:31.440
be your main guy, but he
still could be. You know, I

3420
04:11:31.520 --> 04:11:37.760
think he would have worked very well
in a in a three man booth.

3421
04:11:37.959 --> 04:11:41.399
Sure, you know, as you're
straight play by play guy, you know

3422
04:11:41.520 --> 04:11:48.719
kind of you know, kind of
like the six Vince Jr. And King

3423
04:11:48.040 --> 04:11:54.239
situation where you get you know,
you get you get this. The neutral

3424
04:11:54.559 --> 04:11:58.600
Gordon Soley when you have a baby
face and you got a heel, I'm

3425
04:11:58.639 --> 04:12:01.079
doing color commentary would be that would
be work for with him. I think

3426
04:12:01.120 --> 04:12:05.280
I think that would work great because
because you you wouldn't he wouldn't need to

3427
04:12:05.360 --> 04:12:09.319
go kind of crazy enthusiastic. You
could just be that guy. But the

3428
04:12:09.360 --> 04:12:13.680
play by play guy interesting, I
can see that working like the Mike Tine

3429
04:12:13.799 --> 04:12:18.559
booth they used to have. I
don't like that. Yep, back up

3430
04:12:18.600 --> 04:12:20.440
double a slapping his shoulder to leave
the pressure of the hammerlock. He finally

3431
04:12:20.440 --> 04:12:24.159
gets a counter and that allows him
to break and Nick Patrick and SERTs himself.

3432
04:12:24.200 --> 04:12:26.040
And this is when Arne Anderson slugs
Eating over the referees back and slaps

3433
04:12:26.079 --> 04:12:28.639
Eaton's knee into the post. I
think it's a big time sell at a

3434
04:12:28.680 --> 04:12:31.719
Bobby Eaton alb m jam can't work
with one leg, if the announcers are

3435
04:12:31.760 --> 04:12:35.280
keen to point out. As Arne
digs his knee into knee of Eaton,

3436
04:12:35.319 --> 04:12:37.399
he posts it again and does kind
of a step over grape vine leg hold,

3437
04:12:37.879 --> 04:12:41.920
grabbing the ropes for leverage behind the
referees back as well as arn Anderson.

3438
04:12:41.600 --> 04:12:45.920
But by the way, the four
horseomeners still kind of loosely affiliated at

3439
04:12:45.959 --> 04:12:48.920
this time. Of course, Sides
was excommunicated and because he was on his

3440
04:12:50.000 --> 04:12:56.600
way out, but Flair and arn
Anderson we're kind of still like running mate

3441
04:12:56.680 --> 04:13:01.200
and Barry Wyndham at this point in
time. So arn Anderson shakes his head.

3442
04:13:01.200 --> 04:13:03.000
No, no, I wasn't using
the ropes for the leverage. You

3443
04:13:03.079 --> 04:13:07.639
know how that game goes. Jrs's
Dusty needs a tell us straighter because he's

3444
04:13:07.639 --> 04:13:09.600
explaining all these things that would benefit
from being able to draw on the screen,

3445
04:13:09.639 --> 04:13:11.959
and Dusty says, yeah, here
I am. I'm pointing my finger

3446
04:13:13.040 --> 04:13:18.120
on the monitor here, but nothing's
happening. He's pointing at the screen while

3447
04:13:18.120 --> 04:13:20.719
they're commentating. That's fun to think
about. Not probably not the first time

3448
04:13:20.760 --> 04:13:24.399
that's happen where he's putting up the
screen. Nothing's happening. Bobby Eaton kicks

3449
04:13:24.479 --> 04:13:26.520
Arn Anderson off into the corner to
get him off his leg, and he

3450
04:13:26.920 --> 04:13:30.760
rams his head ten times into the
buckle on every pad. Very nice.

3451
04:13:31.360 --> 04:13:33.079
Anderson slugs from his knees, gets
on him, drags his legs to the

3452
04:13:33.120 --> 04:13:35.760
apron, and rams him down to
the canvas. Bobby gets one leg up

3453
04:13:35.760 --> 04:13:39.559
and he's throwing big downtown right hands. Arn Anderson does this amazing pose like

3454
04:13:39.639 --> 04:13:43.879
he's gonna fall with one arm in
the air because he's getting so rocked.

3455
04:13:45.280 --> 04:13:50.440
He like free freezes in a state
of like collapse, and another from Eaton

3456
04:13:50.479 --> 04:13:52.159
drops Anderson. Anderson picks the ankle
though, and drops an elbow and goes

3457
04:13:52.239 --> 04:13:54.639
right back to work on the leg. He drapes the leg on the rope

3458
04:13:54.639 --> 04:13:58.879
and sits on at his eat and
goes off with the yelps the big cane.

3459
04:14:00.799 --> 04:14:03.360
Anderson tries a suplex, but it's
blocked, and Bobby does a suplex

3460
04:14:03.440 --> 04:14:05.120
after the side he sells the knee. He just couldn't put a perfect suplex

3461
04:14:05.159 --> 04:14:09.200
because the knee is tweaked, because
because you see, you know why,

3462
04:14:09.799 --> 04:14:15.239
because Bobby Eaton spent years in the
library very much taking notes what was his

3463
04:14:15.360 --> 04:14:20.399
major finals? Because he has a
PhD in ring Psychologyy clear about that?

3464
04:14:22.280 --> 04:14:28.440
All right? Imagine Bobby Eaton like
fucking three am and a library. Yeah,

3465
04:14:28.079 --> 04:14:33.399
studying biophysics never happened. Like,
what really would happen if I tried

3466
04:14:33.440 --> 04:14:39.079
to suplex a guy and this tendon
was compromised? Right? Exactly which direction

3467
04:14:39.159 --> 04:14:43.360
would I go? Exactly? With
the sack of potatoes fall exactly? You

3468
04:14:43.399 --> 04:14:46.920
could tell the suplex wasn't perfect.
And you're like, of course it's Bobby

3469
04:14:46.920 --> 04:14:50.239
Eaton. It was for a reason. And Anderson, after taking that weekend

3470
04:14:50.559 --> 04:14:54.040
version of the suplex, way to
readound quickly and get right back on the

3471
04:14:54.120 --> 04:14:56.639
knee. Yes, Bessy says,
heat needs to make a spectacular move to

3472
04:14:56.680 --> 04:15:01.159
get out of the position he's in, and uh, he doesn't do anything

3473
04:15:01.159 --> 04:15:05.440
spectacular. He just kicks option three
times and gets free. Yeah, nothing

3474
04:15:05.479 --> 04:15:07.600
spectacular, really kept throwing those hooks. Double A cuts him off, snap

3475
04:15:07.680 --> 04:15:11.360
mayor a middle rope vader bomb attempt
by arn Anderson, but he lands across

3476
04:15:11.440 --> 04:15:18.680
the knees of Bobby eaton a lariat
and Arne Anderson come. Lariot is ducked

3477
04:15:18.799 --> 04:15:24.600
and arn Anderson comes with a damn
fine spinebuster on Bobby eating for two.

3478
04:15:26.639 --> 04:15:31.280
Yeah, but Nick Patrick had his
hand underneath eaten shoulders. Good point,

3479
04:15:31.360 --> 04:15:33.879
do you know what? Not even
like checking it. It was just like

3480
04:15:33.120 --> 04:15:37.319
there, it was just underneath.
Fucks up again. Yeah, he just

3481
04:15:37.680 --> 04:15:43.079
details he's such a fucking loser.
He's such a fucking loser. Dust He

3482
04:15:43.120 --> 04:15:45.799
said, he reached way down some
of that Alabama pride right there to kick

3483
04:15:45.840 --> 04:15:50.280
out to Bobby eating double a with
sort of like that Ted Tobassy bump where

3484
04:15:50.280 --> 04:15:52.239
you come off the top of the
double axe but someone punches you in the

3485
04:15:52.239 --> 04:15:54.600
stomach and your front flip. Yep, yep. I love that good stuff

3486
04:15:54.639 --> 04:15:58.040
here from from Arn. He's in
a vulnerable position as Bobby hits a running

3487
04:15:58.079 --> 04:16:00.479
neckbreaker on a body's lamb, and
Dustin sing he can't go up to the

3488
04:16:00.520 --> 04:16:04.639
top he's got the bad knee,
but Bobby does just that, selling in

3489
04:16:04.680 --> 04:16:08.760
the process. Suddenly Barry Wyndham comes
out and Brian Pillman comes out and cuts

3490
04:16:08.799 --> 04:16:12.479
him off with a headband covering the
wound on his forehead from earlier, and

3491
04:16:12.600 --> 04:16:17.680
that creates the opening. Windham's not
able to stop Bobby Eating from launching and

3492
04:16:17.719 --> 04:16:19.920
he does the top rope Alabama Jam. Leg Drop lands on double A,

3493
04:16:21.079 --> 04:16:25.040
the covers one, the covers two, and the covers three and eleven minutes

3494
04:16:25.079 --> 04:16:29.040
and fifty seconds, Bobby Eaton wins
his first singles title in WCW, taking

3495
04:16:29.040 --> 04:16:33.000
the TV strap off of Arn Anderson
as super Brawl one. Thank you very

3496
04:16:33.079 --> 04:16:36.959
much. That's wild, that's wild, good stuff. It was good.

3497
04:16:37.120 --> 04:16:38.120
It was good. I feel it
had got a bad rap. I read

3498
04:16:38.200 --> 04:16:41.840
some reviews about it and it wasn't
very popular. I thought this was a

3499
04:16:41.920 --> 04:16:45.159
good just a fine man good.
And they kind of missed the Alabama Jam

3500
04:16:45.239 --> 04:16:48.479
on the alive take, but the
replay shows that it was just a beautiful

3501
04:16:48.840 --> 04:16:52.559
hanging time. It was flying leg
drop is only he could do, and

3502
04:16:52.920 --> 04:16:56.479
he's handed the belts and he hoists
them up and Jared says, for all

3503
04:16:56.520 --> 04:16:59.000
those that said he was a tag
team wrestler and nothing else. Read him

3504
04:16:59.000 --> 04:17:06.079
in Wheat people going and that is
that. We show a clip of Tony

3505
04:17:06.079 --> 04:17:08.600
Shavanni with Fujinami behind a locker room
door backstage. You hear a lot of

3506
04:17:08.600 --> 04:17:12.879
people conversing in Japanese, and Tony
is wondering if we can end the controversy

3507
04:17:12.920 --> 04:17:17.079
tonight. He's looking for a word. He talks about how it all started

3508
04:17:17.120 --> 04:17:19.000
on March twenty first, and how
Flair came back with the championship. We

3509
04:17:19.079 --> 04:17:25.360
see Fujanami getting his ring robe on, and indeed addition Yahashimoto and Masato and

3510
04:17:25.719 --> 04:17:29.680
Hiro Matsudo with him, Heira Matsuda
of course, along ally of Eddie Graham

3511
04:17:29.760 --> 04:17:33.920
and Dusty Rhodes and Antonio Anoki.
So wherever huts Hiro Matsuda goes, a

3512
04:17:34.000 --> 04:17:40.559
new Japan partnership is sure to follow. There we go and the vow from

3513
04:17:40.639 --> 04:17:44.719
Hero talks go ahead. Tony talks
to him. Yeah, he does.

3514
04:17:44.959 --> 04:17:48.680
Here, he gets a hold of
him and we get a quick little thing.

3515
04:17:48.000 --> 04:17:51.079
Mister Matts, let me ask you
a question. Can you give us

3516
04:17:51.079 --> 04:17:52.239
some sort of statement as you go
out? Now? Yeah, we're going

3517
04:17:52.280 --> 04:17:56.559
to take that best back to Japan. That's been wrong with us. Well,

3518
04:17:56.600 --> 04:17:57.639
that's just about says it all.
They are going to bring the belt

3519
04:17:57.799 --> 04:18:06.200
back to Japan. Thanks Tony,
Thanks Tony. Thanks for the WCW World

3520
04:18:06.280 --> 04:18:08.920
Heavyweight Championship. They don't call it
the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. They have

3521
04:18:10.000 --> 04:18:15.760
now stopped using all those initials all
together. Started in about nine ninety one,

3522
04:18:15.760 --> 04:18:18.200
actually is when they really scrubbed that
out, when Dusty came in.

3523
04:18:21.000 --> 04:18:22.760
Not to say he authored it,
but I think that was the timetable.

3524
04:18:23.319 --> 04:18:27.479
So the geisha girls come out throwing
flower pedals down for Tatsumifu Junami's entrance,

3525
04:18:27.559 --> 04:18:32.920
they cut to a sign in Japanese. Who knows what it says. There's

3526
04:18:32.920 --> 04:18:36.319
a wrestling fan, a long time
at Atlantic area fan from Greensboro named John

3527
04:18:36.399 --> 04:18:40.840
Hitchcock, who is one of the
more prominent Crocket era and area fans,

3528
04:18:40.959 --> 04:18:45.040
who Tony on his podcast spotted in
the crowd, and I think he said

3529
04:18:45.079 --> 04:18:51.559
he was one of the gentlemen holding
up a Japanese character sign. Doesn't help

3530
04:18:51.639 --> 04:18:55.520
though in terms of what it sells
on the sign. But yeah, Hitchcock

3531
04:18:55.520 --> 04:18:59.479
actually wrote a book about being a
wrestling fan called front Row Section D Glory

3532
04:18:59.559 --> 04:19:03.120
Days from Atlantic Wrestling and one of
the signs he used to hold up and

3533
04:19:03.159 --> 04:19:04.200
support of the Horsemen. He was
well known as one of those guys that

3534
04:19:04.239 --> 04:19:08.360
would show up and cheer the heels
and shoe the horsemen. One of the

3535
04:19:08.360 --> 04:19:11.719
signs of red four horsemen fingers on
it, and it says you can tell

3536
04:19:11.760 --> 04:19:15.600
the wrestler by looking at his blubber. I was about it was about about

3537
04:19:15.600 --> 04:19:22.319
one wrestler in particular, and here
comes Tetsumi Fujinami, the i WGP Heavyweight

3538
04:19:22.399 --> 04:19:26.520
champion Jr. Sissa that luth Is
called Fujinami one of the greatest of all

3539
04:19:26.639 --> 04:19:30.879
time as they set off sparklers,
and Jar says, this man is a

3540
04:19:30.959 --> 04:19:33.680
household world when you speak of wrestling
in Japan, which is not exactly true.

3541
04:19:34.719 --> 04:19:38.040
Dusty likens him to Willie Nelson.
And who was Lesius? Okay,

3542
04:19:38.360 --> 04:19:42.360
who wasn't that great? He was. He was a huge star and a

3543
04:19:42.360 --> 04:19:47.000
wonderful pro wrestler. But household name, I think is taken a little too

3544
04:19:47.079 --> 04:19:49.079
far, a little too far.
Okay. He wasn't an Oki, he

3545
04:19:49.200 --> 04:19:56.840
wasn't Baba. He wasn't Murky Dozan
or the Destroyer or Freddie Blassie. You

3546
04:19:56.879 --> 04:20:02.200
know, there's no like massive you
know, TV number associated with him or

3547
04:20:02.200 --> 04:20:04.959
anything like that. So, uh, which I'd put him in that.

3548
04:20:06.040 --> 04:20:07.959
You know, he's like wick at
Chow Shoe Maiday, just kind of a

3549
04:20:07.959 --> 04:20:15.239
step below but kind of a that
that level those nineties headliners that you know,

3550
04:20:15.360 --> 04:20:19.040
Missawa like, I don't think you'd
call him Missawa a household name.

3551
04:20:19.559 --> 04:20:22.239
You wouldn't call him a household name, really, I don't think so.

3552
04:20:22.399 --> 04:20:26.840
Because of the way wrestling was distributed
at the time he was on top.

3553
04:20:27.600 --> 04:20:30.799
You know, it was well attended
and business was hot and they could fill

3554
04:20:30.879 --> 04:20:36.200
domes, but it wasn't broadcast on
television in a way where you could put

3555
04:20:36.319 --> 04:20:38.719
him in a category of like everyone
knew who he was. I could be

3556
04:20:38.799 --> 04:20:41.879
wrong about that, but that's not
my my my conception of him. He

3557
04:20:42.000 --> 04:20:45.639
was damn close because he was kind
of like, you know, Sharuda was

3558
04:20:47.639 --> 04:20:49.959
Giant Bob Is understudy, and Sharuda
passed the torch to Missawa. To the

3559
04:20:51.040 --> 04:20:55.159
degree to which people followed that closely, you would think of Missaua as a

3560
04:20:55.200 --> 04:21:00.520
massive deal. But I think there's
a lot of attrition of the fans over

3561
04:21:00.600 --> 04:21:07.399
those generational turnovers. Wow so they
sing yeah, yeah, So they show

3562
04:21:07.440 --> 04:21:10.360
flair and the women taking their position
to the top of the rampus. Fujinami's

3563
04:21:10.360 --> 04:21:12.600
introduced, and then they hit kind
of like a gladiator music. It kind

3564
04:21:12.600 --> 04:21:18.559
of sounds like the Indiana Jones.
The fuck was this? I'm not okay

3565
04:21:18.600 --> 04:21:21.440
with this music now. I think
it came around the time that Rick started

3566
04:21:21.479 --> 04:21:22.719
thinking he was going to change him
to Sparta Kiss and all that bullshit.

3567
04:21:25.280 --> 04:21:26.920
It's like the only like twist of
the character of the movie. He came

3568
04:21:26.959 --> 04:21:30.000
out. There's a guy with a
chef hatt and a maid and a butler.

3569
04:21:32.239 --> 04:21:34.559
I know he's got a hole,
Like yeah, his whole entourage of

3570
04:21:34.719 --> 04:21:38.559
serving there turning it into a cartoon. They're trying to yes and he's taking

3571
04:21:38.559 --> 04:21:41.360
off his rolex and putting it down
on a silver serving tray at the at

3572
04:21:41.399 --> 04:21:45.360
the top of the aisle, and
there's a lady in waiting and a cook.

3573
04:21:47.319 --> 04:21:49.319
This whole like little mini entourage meets
him as he steps out. Lay

3574
04:21:49.440 --> 04:21:55.879
music Sparklers not epic at all,
Flair with the big old bell and under

3575
04:21:55.920 --> 04:22:03.200
the rope on the waist and awful
stuff. It's really an awful position that

3576
04:22:03.239 --> 04:22:07.719
he's been put in, and I'm
ashamed of Jim Hurd, I mean Flair's

3577
04:22:07.760 --> 04:22:14.879
hair here. Oh, it's really
impressive how he was able to grow his

3578
04:22:15.040 --> 04:22:19.239
hair back almost normal, not fully
there. But if you look at his

3579
04:22:19.360 --> 04:22:25.040
first entrance into the his first appearance
that would be in September, we're talking

3580
04:22:25.120 --> 04:22:29.760
only like a four month turnaround,
and his hair was almost you know,

3581
04:22:30.040 --> 04:22:33.440
normalish. Yeah it was. It
was like short, but not like not

3582
04:22:33.600 --> 04:22:37.079
like eighty nine long, you know
the way it was, but like you

3583
04:22:37.159 --> 04:22:44.200
know, it was you know,
it didn't look awful. And why Jim

3584
04:22:44.319 --> 04:22:47.639
Hurd, who I'm assuming is the
reason he cut his hair like this thought

3585
04:22:47.680 --> 04:22:51.079
this made him look at a younger
than how his hair used to be.

3586
04:22:51.239 --> 04:22:53.000
It blows my mind. Makes him
look that much older, makes him look

3587
04:22:53.040 --> 04:22:57.719
like a i don't know, like
a like a CFO as opposed to like

3588
04:22:57.879 --> 04:23:02.079
this hot show. I mean,
he looks he just looks like a like

3589
04:23:02.680 --> 04:23:07.600
Oh, his hair looks like an
attempt to be one of the models you

3590
04:23:07.639 --> 04:23:15.879
would see in in a like at
a hair salon. Right, how do

3591
04:23:15.959 --> 04:23:18.479
you want your hair to look like
at the You know that's good, that's

3592
04:23:18.639 --> 04:23:25.159
that's true. Or Jr. Talks
about how Dori Funk beat Kiniski and I

3593
04:23:25.239 --> 04:23:27.319
think this building for the championship,
and how in seventy nine Roads beat Race

3594
04:23:27.680 --> 04:23:33.600
for the championship. Everybody fucking wont
everybody everyone won a championship in this okay.

3595
04:23:34.120 --> 04:23:37.280
So Flair peels the belt off,
hands it off to the ref.

3596
04:23:37.360 --> 04:23:41.879
The hair is a problem. It's
full buffont almost here, and there's Japanese

3597
04:23:41.920 --> 04:23:45.719
ref taggertory, and there's the American
ref bill A Fonso back inside of the

3598
04:23:45.760 --> 04:23:49.719
contest and manyment time Flair versus tuts
in me Fujinami for the w s W

3599
04:23:49.840 --> 04:23:52.879
Championship. Lock up in a headlock, and Fujinami, with a tackle down,

3600
04:23:52.959 --> 04:23:56.399
goes Flair lock up. Fujinami goes
to the hammerlock and Flair answers with

3601
04:23:56.440 --> 04:24:00.440
a great drop toe hold. They
grapple on the canvas a bit and Janai

3602
04:24:00.479 --> 04:24:03.079
slips free and Flaire gives him a
bit of a woo. Jara calls the

3603
04:24:03.280 --> 04:24:08.040
one hundred and sixty pound Fujinami debuted
in the pros as a junior heavyweight,

3604
04:24:08.079 --> 04:24:12.200
but it's now with a solid two
forty look lock up into the ropes.

3605
04:24:12.280 --> 04:24:18.200
Flair wanted the referee to hold the
front face lock or something went one in

3606
04:24:18.399 --> 04:24:25.280
order one another. I don't know
what that. They don't know whatever he

3607
04:24:25.360 --> 04:24:27.479
was trying to do. Fujinami counters
it with the hammer lock and they do

3608
04:24:27.559 --> 04:24:32.440
the sit out and they go from
that to into the corner. There's a

3609
04:24:32.479 --> 04:24:36.479
picture on the cover of the Top
fifty Wrestlers of All Time by John Mulnaro

3610
04:24:37.319 --> 04:24:41.760
hardcover book that is this moment in
this match when they're these two are in

3611
04:24:41.799 --> 04:24:45.479
the corner grappling. H Yeah,
I recognized its, Like why did I

3612
04:24:45.120 --> 04:24:49.799
Why did that little snap moment there
strike me as familiars. That's very funny.

3613
04:24:49.920 --> 04:24:52.559
So Flare slugs over the top and
lands a big chop in the corner.

3614
04:24:53.440 --> 04:24:57.399
Those brutalized the pectoral region in Japan
when he landed them. Jim Ross

3615
04:24:57.440 --> 04:25:03.479
told us. They start exchanging along
the ropes and Fujinami whips Flair to the

3616
04:25:03.520 --> 04:25:04.879
corner, hits a big backdrop up
and the lights goes the nature Boy,

3617
04:25:04.920 --> 04:25:08.120
thanks Jr. For that thinking saying
up in the lights when a backdrop is

3618
04:25:08.159 --> 04:25:11.040
high. That came from him buried
in my mind and I don't know why

3619
04:25:11.040 --> 04:25:15.280
I say it, but that's why
that's funny. But Johnny whipps Flair into

3620
04:25:15.280 --> 04:25:17.959
a drop toe hold. He goes
grapevinds the leg and as the surfboard bow

3621
04:25:18.000 --> 04:25:21.000
and arrow submission on Flair, Jarre
calls out that, of course Flair broke

3622
04:25:21.079 --> 04:25:22.479
his back in the airplane crash,
so this kind of a submission really is

3623
04:25:22.520 --> 04:25:26.000
effective on him, as he says, I tried that, and he's got

3624
04:25:26.000 --> 04:25:27.639
a great conditioning. I tried to
attack the back all the years I wrestled

3625
04:25:27.680 --> 04:25:32.479
him, and it didn't seem to
make a difference. You know why,

3626
04:25:32.719 --> 04:25:41.360
because it's all fairly moves. Yeah, there you go. Phenamic kicks off,

3627
04:25:41.440 --> 04:25:44.559
charges into a jack knife cradle,
but no, Flare ends up on

3628
04:25:44.639 --> 04:25:47.760
top. In the exchange one two, they kind of messed that that whole

3629
04:25:47.799 --> 04:25:49.840
spot up. Yeah, just the
whole thing. This is where it just

3630
04:25:49.920 --> 04:25:55.639
kind of gets sloppy. Flair chops
him and Fujanami answers this one drops natured

3631
04:25:55.639 --> 04:25:57.799
boy. Fujinami turns Flair over in
the Boston Crab. There's oh gods,

3632
04:25:59.120 --> 04:26:04.440
gods, uh oh yah, pagenomic
grape vines the leg instead of the instead

3633
04:26:04.479 --> 04:26:07.639
of the Boston crab, and then
he falls back and cranks, and Dusty

3634
04:26:07.879 --> 04:26:11.959
says, below, your butt,
kass and your neckas here here, here

3635
04:26:12.040 --> 04:26:15.319
you go here you go. This
thing here with the legs is true,

3636
04:26:15.319 --> 04:26:18.559
he's got the legs, but this
takes that spine right here below your butt

3637
04:26:18.600 --> 04:26:26.600
cuffs and takes that and jarves that
all the way up to your neckas frot

3638
04:26:26.680 --> 04:26:32.520
facelock. JR Is selling of it. JR Is selling of it. Listen

3639
04:26:32.559 --> 04:26:36.799
to it again, because JR Is
selling of it is money. This thing

3640
04:26:36.920 --> 04:26:38.479
here with the legs is true,
he's got the legs, but this takes

3641
04:26:38.559 --> 04:26:42.520
that spine right here below your butt
cuffs and takes that and jarves that all

3642
04:26:42.559 --> 04:26:51.440
the way up to your neckas front
facelock. In event time, indeed,

3643
04:26:52.879 --> 04:26:56.040
he's just fucking silent. And then
and the best thing is, I don't

3644
04:26:56.079 --> 04:26:59.680
know if you if you caught this, but when he's saying that too,

3645
04:27:00.040 --> 04:27:03.600
this whole moment happens where the camera
is behind the two of them of it,

3646
04:27:04.959 --> 04:27:08.239
and so it's just like JR.
Doesn't even look over look at him,

3647
04:27:11.200 --> 04:27:15.319
you know, it's so funny.
Yeah, that's dusty and commentary.

3648
04:27:15.360 --> 04:27:18.440
Man, that's what you get.
Yep. Yes, you do back up

3649
04:27:18.479 --> 04:27:21.200
flare with a short vertical suplex and
they're putting over how bad the back is

3650
04:27:21.239 --> 04:27:23.000
hurting. His flair gets up and
thumbs the eye of Fujinami whipping a chop

3651
04:27:23.159 --> 04:27:26.680
is ducked and Fujinami comes back off
the ropes of the flying forearm that drops

3652
04:27:26.719 --> 04:27:30.559
Flair. That gets two for Fujinami. Rick Flare goes to the API and

3653
04:27:30.559 --> 04:27:33.600
Fujinami brings him in the hard way
with a vertical suplex. Flair with morah

3654
04:27:33.719 --> 04:27:38.399
gods, Ah gods, and then
Fuji ahead and whiffs on a forearm and

3655
04:27:38.520 --> 04:27:45.200
hits the canvas. Yeah, is
the crowd just like I know that they're

3656
04:27:45.280 --> 04:27:48.639
not that familiar with Fujinami and they're
not invested in him, So I get

3657
04:27:48.760 --> 04:27:55.040
that, but it's just weird that
they're not reacting to Flare. No,

3658
04:27:55.399 --> 04:28:00.319
they're not. And is it?
Is it because Flair is a heel?

3659
04:28:00.600 --> 04:28:08.319
It's because Flair's working as a heel, begging off and and and we don't

3660
04:28:08.319 --> 04:28:11.719
know what to do with it.
And I want to cheer Fujinami beating up

3661
04:28:11.760 --> 04:28:14.840
Rick Flair. They don't want to
see Fujinami win the match, but Flair's

3662
04:28:14.920 --> 04:28:18.399
working at like Fujinami is the one
coming for him and he's not the one

3663
04:28:18.440 --> 04:28:25.239
coming for Fujinami. Yeah, It's
just it's really and that really hurts this

3664
04:28:25.440 --> 04:28:27.319
thing like, these two have a
good match in them between them, but

3665
04:28:27.479 --> 04:28:33.479
the audience is wrong for it in
both coasts. It's kind of weird just

3666
04:28:33.520 --> 04:28:36.879
because the play the position Flair occupies
in the fans minds. If Flair was

3667
04:28:36.959 --> 04:28:41.120
like this red hot heel at this
time, you know, I think you

3668
04:28:41.159 --> 04:28:45.520
could get people excited at the prospect
of Fujinami beating him. I should say

3669
04:28:45.799 --> 04:28:49.559
more at the prospect of Flair losing. But this match move or moved the

3670
04:28:49.600 --> 04:28:52.760
weight it's laid out. It doesn't
excite you at the prospect of Rick Flair

3671
04:28:52.840 --> 04:28:56.200
winning at all. And it was
probably heavily political. You know, this

3672
04:28:56.319 --> 04:29:02.120
is more done in the spirit of
strengthening a relationship that could conceivably put ww

3673
04:29:02.239 --> 04:29:04.399
wrestlers in front of crowds of sixty
thousand and put a nice pay day in

3674
04:29:04.440 --> 04:29:07.959
their pocket because they were aligned with
the top Japanese company. So how this

3675
04:29:08.120 --> 04:29:12.959
match plays out to me is probably
more with an eye towards what's going to

3676
04:29:14.040 --> 04:29:17.559
please our Japanese counterparts in terms of
how Fujunami comes off in the match,

3677
04:29:17.879 --> 04:29:19.600
then whether the crowd is excited at
all, because what it would take to

3678
04:29:19.639 --> 04:29:23.239
keep the crowd excited between these two
would not be the kind of match that

3679
04:29:23.280 --> 04:29:29.000
they would want to send Fujunami here
to have. That's my sense of things.

3680
04:29:30.040 --> 04:29:33.719
They're kind of broadcasting past the audience
here, which is why you shouldn't

3681
04:29:33.719 --> 04:29:36.559
put it on last. I mean, there's nothing wrong with making this like

3682
04:29:36.680 --> 04:29:40.600
the semi to the tag match or
something, you know. Yep, this

3683
04:29:40.840 --> 04:29:45.120
is just it turns. It just
it never gets better. It never gets

3684
04:29:45.200 --> 04:29:48.959
better, It just gets worse and
it gets sloppy. Yeah. Flair himself

3685
04:29:48.399 --> 04:29:52.319
go over the ropes after that missed
forearm by Fujunami, so we just like

3686
04:29:52.399 --> 04:29:55.959
kind of leaps and then falls back
on the mat, and then Fujimi has

3687
04:29:55.959 --> 04:29:56.639
to do it again, and this
time Flaire goes all the way over.

3688
04:29:57.159 --> 04:30:00.840
Flair catches him on the floor and
coming in, Fujani grabs a side headlock,

3689
04:30:00.879 --> 04:30:04.120
and Flair crotches him on the railing
on the outside and chops him against

3690
04:30:04.159 --> 04:30:07.959
the rail back in Flair's limping from
the leg work of Fujinami, but stomping

3691
04:30:08.280 --> 04:30:12.000
his Japanese opponent thentheless, there's a
chop block and Fujinami selling that, and

3692
04:30:12.319 --> 04:30:15.079
Flair drapes his leg in the bottom
and sits down on it and then Flair

3693
04:30:15.120 --> 04:30:18.239
puts the shin breaker across the kneeon
Fujinami, and Flair steps over and hooks

3694
04:30:18.280 --> 04:30:22.280
the figure four to a nice pop. This time you have Fujinami reaching and

3695
04:30:22.360 --> 04:30:25.680
referee Tiger Tory at eye level looking
for any sign of submission. Billow Fonzo

3696
04:30:25.760 --> 04:30:29.719
watching clothes as well as Fujianami sits
up and Flair starts slapping him while in

3697
04:30:29.760 --> 04:30:33.559
the figure four. Jared points out
he may be reviving him by slapping him

3698
04:30:33.639 --> 04:30:37.040
like this, and Dusty thinks it's
a bad move by Flair to exchange hands

3699
04:30:37.120 --> 04:30:41.440
while in the throws of the hold. Finally, Fujinami reverses it. Flair,

3700
04:30:41.680 --> 04:30:44.559
you know, loses his mind.
Jarre calls Fujinami one of the nicest

3701
04:30:44.559 --> 04:30:47.399
guys he's ever been around in sports. As they get back up, they

3702
04:30:47.440 --> 04:30:49.920
exchange like crazy now as Fujinami picks
the leg and turns it over into a

3703
04:30:51.000 --> 04:30:55.360
scorpion deathlock, but Flair makes the
ropes. Flair tells the referee to tell

3704
04:30:55.399 --> 04:30:59.399
Fujinami something till they're passing messages back
and forth through the referee about what spots

3705
04:30:59.440 --> 04:31:03.079
to do next, perhaps Torri providing
better translation for Fujinami than Flair. Could,

3706
04:31:03.440 --> 04:31:06.920
Yeah, and it's a back suplex
that he called for, and that

3707
04:31:07.000 --> 04:31:10.760
gets too and again a one two
without account. Flair is sure to get

3708
04:31:11.079 --> 04:31:14.399
out from under. He makes sure, even if there's not a cover,

3709
04:31:14.840 --> 04:31:19.399
that he's kicking out. Fujiam the
headlock and Flair hits the back supplex again,

3710
04:31:19.479 --> 04:31:22.719
and Jr. Says, Fujinami out
of seventeen months of the year,

3711
04:31:23.120 --> 04:31:26.879
was out seventeen months a year ago
with a bad back as well, So

3712
04:31:27.360 --> 04:31:33.760
Flair attacking the back makes sense.
Okaylair I didn't know that. No,

3713
04:31:33.040 --> 04:31:37.159
No, he kind of drops that
really late that that bit of knowledge.

3714
04:31:37.760 --> 04:31:41.879
Yeah, Flair scores with a perfect
knee drop headlock takeover by the nature boy.

3715
04:31:41.159 --> 04:31:45.040
Fujinami answers with the heads or Flair
gets to the top and they do

3716
04:31:45.120 --> 04:31:48.879
the bridge that goes nowhere. You
know the bridge spot doesn't work. Well,

3717
04:31:48.120 --> 04:31:52.239
they screw it up. It doesn't
work right away, right, isn't

3718
04:31:52.239 --> 04:31:56.120
it? No, it doesn't doesn't
don't they? Yeah, they can't.

3719
04:31:56.120 --> 04:31:57.799
They have to do it a couple
of times before it actually works. They

3720
04:31:57.879 --> 04:32:03.120
chuck all that up to the bad
back of both guys. So they're kind

3721
04:32:03.120 --> 04:32:06.280
of acting like they did that on
purpose to sell the move which is I

3722
04:32:06.360 --> 04:32:08.360
guess a possibility but I don't know
and lookull like they were really straining to

3723
04:32:08.399 --> 04:32:12.479
pull it off and could ye Flair
with a wou kind of wakes him up,

3724
04:32:12.959 --> 04:32:17.000
kind of dull on a work weight
work right match like this is Flair's

3725
04:32:17.040 --> 04:32:21.920
whole presentation design model with like a
sprint to you know, out wrestle a

3726
04:32:22.000 --> 04:32:26.520
guy than to entertain or to get
your ass beat. Flair tosses Fujinami out

3727
04:32:26.520 --> 04:32:27.680
of the ring, and Fujinami blocks
and puts Flair into the rail. You

3728
04:32:27.719 --> 04:32:30.840
know a time it is time for
Flair to run the razor and a bit

3729
04:32:30.920 --> 04:32:33.000
to get us to care. Yes, so he's busted open and the hair

3730
04:32:33.120 --> 04:32:36.520
is colored red. He comes up
and throws his head up in the air

3731
04:32:36.600 --> 04:32:38.520
so all can see the blood on
display and he gets posted as well.

3732
04:32:38.879 --> 04:32:41.959
Fujinami ping pons him around ringside a
bit brings him back in purchase him in

3733
04:32:41.959 --> 04:32:45.440
the corner, but Flare shoves him
back and Fujinami drops him with the right

3734
04:32:45.479 --> 04:32:48.879
hand. Flair chops the back of
the neck of Fujinami when he has his

3735
04:32:48.959 --> 04:32:52.159
back to him, and Fujami turns
and drops Flare with the right hand.

3736
04:32:52.159 --> 04:32:59.639
We get we get we get the
Battle of the chop houses from across oceans.

3737
04:32:59.680 --> 04:33:03.399
Sat right, it's your Charlotte chop
house. And then you've got your

3738
04:33:03.200 --> 04:33:10.880
your Fujinami Premier Japanese chop house and
Waigo steaks from Surf all the way to

3739
04:33:10.919 --> 04:33:14.439
Turf. You got it's corner on
a corner, whipp inside alt gooes flare.

3740
04:33:14.639 --> 04:33:17.279
He lands back into the ring and
gets sent into the buckling or hand

3741
04:33:17.360 --> 04:33:21.119
chop and flare with the ipoke to
stop a Fujinami's rally. Fujinami comes back

3742
04:33:21.119 --> 04:33:23.639
with the tomahawk chop. Flare answers
and a shop brings Fujinami to his knees.

3743
04:33:23.840 --> 04:33:26.759
A right hand is blocked. FUJHAMI
coming again with the tomahawk chop.

3744
04:33:26.880 --> 04:33:30.919
He hip tosses ric Flair to the
corner. Flair. It looked like he

3745
04:33:30.959 --> 04:33:33.520
may have been thinking slide all the
way like hurt heading into the ring post.

3746
04:33:33.400 --> 04:33:36.319
Yeah, but he doesn't do it. He comes up short or he

3747
04:33:36.360 --> 04:33:40.080
wasn't even thinking that raps. No, he does not go. Jammy closes

3748
04:33:40.159 --> 04:33:41.439
in, but Flair comes up with
a boot and I swear whiffs on an

3749
04:33:41.439 --> 04:33:45.520
Oklahoma roll out of the corner of
Flair like tumbles like he's supposed to grab

3750
04:33:45.560 --> 04:33:48.599
Pujanami's body and go for a pen
and he misses him and just rolls across

3751
04:33:48.639 --> 04:33:53.919
the rings him. Yep, it's
just it's so it's just rough. Flair

3752
04:33:53.959 --> 04:33:57.159
also mentioned the Clippy player that he
hurts his neck early in this matchup,

3753
04:33:57.279 --> 04:34:02.720
So I think he knows this match
isn't a well regarded so he's like throwing

3754
04:34:02.799 --> 04:34:07.560
that in there as a mitigating factor. Yeah, Flair goes to the Apron.

3755
04:34:07.599 --> 04:34:10.319
He can't stand. He gets the
floor and Flare drop flops to no

3756
04:34:10.439 --> 04:34:12.959
response on the outside of the ring
to you know, you know, it's

3757
04:34:14.159 --> 04:34:17.119
not a great night for Rick Flair
when no one laughs when he flas flops.

3758
04:34:18.040 --> 04:34:19.360
Yeah, it's like his one go
too that like if it doesn't work,

3759
04:34:19.479 --> 04:34:22.680
then the crowd is not on his
wavelength. You know, it's gonna

3760
04:34:22.680 --> 04:34:25.880
be a tough night. To the
apron the thumb of the eye, Flair

3761
04:34:25.919 --> 04:34:29.840
climbs the ropes, Fujinami hooks him, and Flair pulls up Fujiami's hand.

3762
04:34:29.840 --> 04:34:32.720
He probably put Fudjanami his hand where
it always is when guys press lam him

3763
04:34:32.720 --> 04:34:34.799
off the top the wine not in
the crotch area, but the one nearest

3764
04:34:34.880 --> 04:34:38.200
chest, and yeah, it's pretty
funny. They see Flair like would guide

3765
04:34:38.240 --> 04:34:41.240
the hand where it's supposed to be, I know, and he takes the

3766
04:34:41.279 --> 04:34:45.720
grilla press. Lamb, there's some
booze now for Fujianamis. He locks on

3767
04:34:45.959 --> 04:34:48.680
the Anoki octopus stretch. Jare says
it's a move very rarely used by Americans.

3768
04:34:48.759 --> 04:34:51.880
Dusty knows the hold. He's been
in it. He says, your

3769
04:34:51.880 --> 04:34:55.000
whole body is tingling when you were
locked in it. U Sa chant breaks

3770
04:34:55.080 --> 04:34:57.439
out. Flair wiggles out hiptop.
His body also tingles when he's got a

3771
04:34:57.479 --> 04:35:00.840
good meal in front of them,
exactly right, no difference. Flair wickles

3772
04:35:00.880 --> 04:35:04.439
out for the hip toss and collapses
on his back. Alfonso is checking the

3773
04:35:04.479 --> 04:35:11.880
cut over. Jare called the when
when when when Flair kind of does his

3774
04:35:11.080 --> 04:35:18.200
barely a spare escape from that fucking
thing. Jare calls it a career counter.

3775
04:35:18.639 --> 04:35:25.319
Career counter. Okay, yep,
I thought ac countants were career counters,

3776
04:35:25.439 --> 04:35:27.439
right, but something else? Yeah? Is it granite? You know?

3777
04:35:30.080 --> 04:35:33.240
I mean like like that's the greatest
counter of all time for Rick Flair.

3778
04:35:33.360 --> 04:35:34.959
Really, maybe it's the most important
because he was on the verge of

3779
04:35:36.000 --> 04:35:40.119
losing this big championship match. Yeah, maybe so Bellefonso's checking the cut of

3780
04:35:40.159 --> 04:35:42.439
Flair, Tiger Hattoris as well,
and Fujonomi closes in with right hands.

3781
04:35:42.479 --> 04:35:45.599
Not looking for this to end by
cut, so Flair turns up the heat

3782
04:35:45.680 --> 04:35:48.439
with a bit with some chops.
They sluck it out Flair with his teeth.

3783
04:35:48.959 --> 04:35:52.279
His teeth are clenched as he's throwing. Flair takes one shoves off the

3784
04:35:52.400 --> 04:35:57.240
referee and takes another flare flop.
He pushes the referee out of the way,

3785
04:35:57.279 --> 04:36:00.880
so we can him do it?
Yeah, Oh, it's just as

3786
04:36:02.200 --> 04:36:04.959
it just gets worse and worse.
It's so bad luck push off tackle Flair

3787
04:36:06.000 --> 04:36:08.159
through the ropes onto the ramp,
and Fujinami hits the floor, so they

3788
04:36:08.200 --> 04:36:11.240
both kind of go spilling down.
Flair is hanging on Alfonso stumbling around,

3789
04:36:11.319 --> 04:36:15.759
lands in the ring, comes back
in, Flair chops the shit out of

3790
04:36:15.799 --> 04:36:21.200
him, body slam crossbody block one
two, very close. The crowd goes,

3791
04:36:21.240 --> 04:36:23.560
WHOA at the possibility of that being
being over. As close as you're

3792
04:36:23.560 --> 04:36:29.799
gonna get, Dusty says to Chitlin's
and Grits, I guess that's the post

3793
04:36:29.840 --> 04:36:30.919
match meal if he wins, I
don't. I don't know what he's talking

3794
04:36:30.959 --> 04:36:37.000
about. I don't either, I
don't care. Ric Flair then shoots off

3795
04:36:37.439 --> 04:36:42.279
Fujinami to the ropes, puts on
an inside cradle that gets too comes with

3796
04:36:42.319 --> 04:36:45.080
the Duke's up throwing on Fujinami,
there's a chop a headlock, push off.

3797
04:36:47.000 --> 04:36:51.040
Fujinami sidesteps to the O'Connor roll.
Takes a second for them to actually

3798
04:36:51.080 --> 04:36:56.560
pull the damn thing off. Flair
kicks off and Fujinami then butts heads with

3799
04:36:56.639 --> 04:37:03.040
referee Tiger Hittory. This allows Ric
Flair to roll up, tout semi Fujinami

3800
04:37:03.080 --> 04:37:07.520
and grab a handful of tights,
which the announcers don't really mention, foreshadowing

3801
04:37:07.599 --> 04:37:11.400
his WrestleMania eight demise acts one hundred
percent. He'd get paid back from Savage

3802
04:37:11.400 --> 04:37:15.240
on that one. But with the
handful of tights and the roll up billow

3803
04:37:15.279 --> 04:37:18.080
Fonso, the American referee who failed
to notice the over the top rope in

3804
04:37:18.119 --> 04:37:22.240
Japan, slides in and counts the
one two three. With the new japan

3805
04:37:22.279 --> 04:37:27.000
ref otherwise disposed, he's now the
unduly appointed official, and that ends the

3806
04:37:27.080 --> 04:37:33.080
contest. Rick Flair defeats tout semi
Fujinami eighteen thirty nine. Let's not forget

3807
04:37:33.119 --> 04:37:37.360
too billow Fonso in clear view of
the handful of elastic claws. Yeah,

3808
04:37:37.400 --> 04:37:42.319
no call at all in Flaire's hands. Not nothing Meltzer relevant. Observer that

3809
04:37:42.360 --> 04:37:45.360
Dusty Rhodes didn't come up with the
flare finish apparently, which is why both

3810
04:37:45.400 --> 04:37:48.680
he and Jim Ross never acknowledged the
trunks being used in the commentary. Dusty

3811
04:37:48.720 --> 04:37:52.000
should have at least specified meltzer rights
on ref bumps, since they already had

3812
04:37:52.040 --> 04:37:57.400
two others on the card. Yeah, so apparently they weren't really clued in

3813
04:37:57.439 --> 04:38:00.319
to emphasize the holding of the trunks. This Dusty didn't finish. They didn't

3814
04:38:00.319 --> 04:38:03.639
write this finish. So, oh
my god, there you go. Alfonso

3815
04:38:03.639 --> 04:38:07.240
with the big old belt hands it
to Flair. Alonso was hoisting it and

3816
04:38:07.400 --> 04:38:10.840
raising his name with Alfonso is he's
handed the strap on the floor. There's

3817
04:38:10.880 --> 04:38:12.759
nothing like an in ring ceremony or
anything. Some bullshit chance breakout, but

3818
04:38:12.840 --> 04:38:18.159
overall a fairly positive response to Ric
Flair winning back the gold. Here at

3819
04:38:18.360 --> 04:38:21.840
super Brawl with no music, Flair
wakes it makes his way up the aisle

3820
04:38:21.919 --> 04:38:26.040
with Tiger Tory selling the butting of
the heads and Fujinami's chest ruined black and

3821
04:38:26.080 --> 04:38:30.279
blue streaks all over it. Thinks
to Ric Flair chops. Gary Michael Coppetta

3822
04:38:30.279 --> 04:38:33.560
makes oh, I know the Weltz
are the Weltz are bunkers on Fujis chest.

3823
04:38:33.560 --> 04:38:36.479
They were going for that for sure, and they achieve the effect.

3824
04:38:37.279 --> 04:38:40.840
Gary Michael Coppett announces and Stale,
Piro and Sparklers go off, but Flair

3825
04:38:40.919 --> 04:38:44.840
is nowhere to be found for this
big pirate display in his honor, And

3826
04:38:45.319 --> 04:38:48.639
yeah, there's a bit of postgaming
from Jr. And Dusty talks about how

3827
04:38:48.680 --> 04:38:51.200
in twenty one years he's never seen
a tag team match of the quality of

3828
04:38:51.200 --> 04:38:55.200
the Steiner's versus Sting and Luger and
wondering what kind of champs the free Birds

3829
04:38:55.240 --> 04:38:57.720
will be. Dusty thinks they'll be
fantastic. Wants to know who Fantasia is.

3830
04:38:57.840 --> 04:39:02.040
Thinks the Pistols will be heard from
once again, and they're all kind

3831
04:39:02.080 --> 04:39:04.040
of waiting for the re rack of
the clip and highlight from the main event

3832
04:39:04.119 --> 04:39:07.319
here and they show it. It's
like, oh my god, like they're

3833
04:39:07.319 --> 04:39:12.560
just fucking killing time and it's so
exhausting Jr. Says it's been a tremendous

3834
04:39:12.639 --> 04:39:17.080
night in Saint Pete as they plug
the Great American Bash Tour that's coming up

3835
04:39:17.599 --> 04:39:19.479
and doesn't do all that great to
the Metal Lands, but they bring the

3836
04:39:19.520 --> 04:39:25.000
war Games and you hear Dusty say
it, I've Brad Daddy Sand the cameras's

3837
04:39:25.040 --> 04:39:27.560
Metal Lands of the Wall Games and
they do a quick role the credits from

3838
04:39:27.599 --> 04:39:33.319
her to as ep SP Virgil Runnelds
and his assistants Terry Allen mcnam tier,

3839
04:39:33.479 --> 04:39:37.439
Mike Gossip, Mike Graham, Joe
Hamilton, Jody Hamilton, the Assassin or

3840
04:39:37.479 --> 04:39:41.000
reallyan Smith, Jake Roberts's dad,
and the aforementioned Jenny Angele. You see

3841
04:39:41.080 --> 04:39:44.200
Terry Boat right in there. You
see the shad under Craig Leathers, you

3842
04:39:44.240 --> 04:39:48.319
see Tobin's Lake Studios called out for
the set design director Dan Vine. I'm

3843
04:39:48.319 --> 04:39:53.919
associate producer Tony Shivani and coordinating producer
David Crockett. So that's the rundown.

3844
04:39:55.000 --> 04:39:59.119
That's the show. That is super
Brawl indeed, and we will see you

3845
04:40:00.799 --> 04:40:04.200
for the Lapsed Funker. But there
was a succeeding preceding announcement as a t
