Yeah, the nitro logo that just tells you 46 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,439 it's depressing and no one cares anything. I mean again, I'd still take 47 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:12,319 it. But by mayhem if you want, oh the video game. Yeah. 48 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,439 Like I said in one of the recent shows, I'm completely obsessed with 49 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,959 the fact that by the time WCW's licensing machine kicked into gear, Yeah, 50 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:24,759 everyone had stopped caring about nitro yep, And so they were like, it's 51 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,720 so flooding the market with this merch, but nobody wants and they missed the 52 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,639 boat bout like a year and a half.

I guess it's a VHS Is that what it was? Or 191 00:15:56,519 --> 00:16:00,360 no, it's a I think it's like a DVD set and we would says 192 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:07,440 Memphis Wrestling nineteen eighty two season surviving Moments coming off that fucking lapsed Funk the 193 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:12,399 Funk Lawla episode. Is that not right in the heart of that Memphis fucking 194 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,360 gold that we look at. I don't know if you're ready for this either. 195 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:29,759 This is fascinating. Okay. He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack 196 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:42,279 and Carno and JP Sorrow. It's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast. Another book 197 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:45,799 he managed to find that I've never heard of, which is saying something. 198 00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,200 Anybody who listens to the show knows that it's entitled Shooting or Working the History 199 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,840 of the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. It looks like the most self published volume 200 00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,720 I've ever seen in my life. Who wrote that? Ken Zimmerman Jr. 201 00:16:56,879 --> 00:17:00,440 Oh, I know Ken Zimmerman. He's the author of nineteen non fiction books, 202 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:07,599 including gotch Versus Hackenschmidt right in like Evan Strangler Lewis book yep, Double 203 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,640 Crossing the gold Dust Trio. Yep. Yeah. He did books about the 204 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,880 thirties and twenties in the towns and wrestling. Yeah, Lewis, Burns, 205 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,160 Jenkins, and Gotch legendary wrestlers of a legitimate era. In January eighteen eighty 206 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,920 one, Edwin Bibbie defeated Duncan c Ross to establish the first American based title, 207 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:32,599 the American Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. Still in the nixt forty two years, 208 00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:38,200 the best wrestlers in America competed for the prestigious title. However, the true 209 00:17:38,279 --> 00:17:42,759 history of the American title is not nearly as clear. This books looks at 210 00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:48,200 the big title matches and champions to establish a clearer picture of the championship. 211 00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:53,880 Learned the true history of the first catch wrestling championship in the United States. 212 00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,640 You know what I'm doing, I'm catching feelings this Christmas prime things to Tom 213 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,559 Attinasio regaling us with just and there's a holiday feast of gifted.

The fuck is it? 216 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:30,720 What is that? It's a figure but it's not a w W figure. 217 00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:33,559 No, it's not. It's a power town. I got I got 218 00:18:33,559 --> 00:18:41,519 the uh year, did you? Oh? And that's full sportatorium striped blue 219 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:45,480 jacket, like you know, women making out with him on his way to 220 00:18:45,599 --> 00:18:51,640 the ring, carry on, Eric appropriate iron class season exactly. That's that 221 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,440 is a thank you? That is a beauty. What title is that? 222 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,079 The world class? The world class? Yeah? Yeah, when they when 223 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:06,920 they created their own world title. I've even heard of that line before. 224 00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:11,559 Yeah, I do remember the vern figure out that you say that still going? 225 00:19:15,839 --> 00:19:18,480 What is in here? You imagine the state of the sky's porch and 226 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:26,839 like August thanks to us? In terms of deliveries, what is it? 227 00:19:27,799 --> 00:19:33,799 Well, I'll tell you what. If you have any mysteries happening at your 228 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:38,000 house this holiday season, only one man can investigate. It's Fuji. Is 229 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,079 that the Luji? Oh, of all the l j ns to lace me 230 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:49,440 with, mister Fuji will very much investigate the food god. That's a sweet 231 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,119 one. Here's here's the problem. Obsessed with the non wrestler l jns like 232 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,440 the Vince Yes, oh yes of course, Like why would you even bother? 233 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:02,799 Here's the problem right here, this, this is the last one. 234 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,759 This is why they get there. It's why you shouldn't get their own episode 235 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:11,319 because they're so fucking long. I mean, I hope Tom realizes this is 236 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,480 recreating the most memorable Christmas gift I ever got, which was a big ass 237 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:19,480 box the size of like a television box in nineteen ninety one to say last 238 00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:23,640 year. I know, yeah, filled with newspaper, and as I threw 239 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,160 the paper away, it was like ten Hasbros. One effort after the other 240 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:33,359 after the other, and it really it set the course. It's set the 241 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,559 conditions for a lifelong wrestling fandom because I had no choice at that point but 242 00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:40,400 to get further into pro wrestling. I had all the toys. Yep, 243 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:41,960 when you have the whole I mean you didn't have the whole line, but 244 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,680 when when you make that much of a quantum leap leap collection, you're almost 245 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:48,920 obliged. I know what this is, Yeah, this is it. This 246 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,160 is he got a fucking I don't I don't know why this is all tied 247 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,200 up, but like this, but feel free to use the scissors. I 248 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,440 can't even find them. Someone should. I know you're surrounded right now by 249 00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:07,400 fucking my claustrophobia is at an all time The solar system turns us into fucking 250 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,160 hoarders every Christmas. And it's not that we keep stuff, it's by the 251 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,720 time we're done unwrapping, it looks like a holder's house. Come on, 252 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:19,640 motherfucker again. What we don't ask for this?

Of course, Tomas I was like, fuck that. 256 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:41,039 He fills the gun and unloads the fucking clip on us. Come on, 257 00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:47,160 this is the fucking worst.
