Thanks so much members of the Solar System 5 00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:26,800 who operated with all due haste, and apologies to others who apparently operated with 6 00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:30,120 all due haste but still couldn't get the gifts into our hot little hands in 7 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,719 time for our in person session, which of course took place right before the 8 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,119 King of the Jews gathering that we did remote tear members and what a special 9 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,000 day weekend it was, indeed. But now Thanksgiving is behind us, and 10 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,960 the Yule tide is in full effect. The cool air is whipping through the 11 00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:48,240 chimney, you know, all the rest of us. Ah, God, 12 00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,320 it's the way it should be, is what it is, the way it 13 00:00:51,399 --> 00:00:56,520 should be. Taste the Christmas. We feel the energy and we feel the 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,560 love. Thanks to numbers of the Solar System who were seeing to it that 15 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,200 our second annual Christmas n wrapping spectacular is a big success here at TLF. 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,000 Of course, we're going one gift per podcast heading into the holiday season. 17 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,280 Right since we convened, we've received a few other gifts. Boss, who 18 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,200 are we looking at right here? Right now? Today? We have mister 19 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:22,400 ben Plans from Germany, as you can very out in deutsch Land coming across 20 00:01:22,439 --> 00:01:25,159 the pond. So again we're connected via video and a rarity. So yes, 21 00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:30,159 and it's bizarre so that we can both lay eyes on what awaits us 22 00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:38,439 here. Unrapping has be done. It's that fucking Christmas show, bitch, 23 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,120 there are there are elements to this? Is it a German rapping? Here 24 00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,920 we go? Oh brother, we got we got stuff there. Okay, 25 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:57,719 we have a we have a missive we do, Dear laps Chairman. I 26 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,799 wish you a very merry cre Ristmas, which is odd because I am writing 27 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:08,479 this in February sometime, so I can be quick when you destroyers of Rusty 28 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,719 Sheriff Stars make the call to send you gifts. But I will listen to 29 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,400 your unwrapping at Christmas, so it's all good in the end. I guess. 30 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,120 Well. Christmas is still a bit different here in Germany compared to the 31 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,159 US. You guys still manage to give me the warm and fuzzies. Even 32 00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,599 if you talk about Christmas stuff that makes no sense over here. Ha ha, 33 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,680 and I thank you for that. Since Santa Claus, American football, 34 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:38,639 and Halloween already dominate the traditional German counterparts, those differences will soon be gone. 35 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,120 Anyways. The number of people that stay awake until the morning to watch 36 00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:47,120 the Super Bowl over here is alarming. It's not a WrestleMania, dammit to 37 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:52,680 the presence. Number one. Now you guys own your own original copy of 38 00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:58,080 a fake athlete covering a song of a convicted You know what, excuse me, 39 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,520 Merry Christmas. I guess it's in here. I'm going to read it 40 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,680 all this stuff first before I get into the number. Number two, listen 41 00:03:07,719 --> 00:03:10,280 to it while rubbing on thirty year old tattoos of some of your favorites. 42 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,680 Three. One day, the Colisseume Collection Tour will take make you, guys, 43 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,560 enter the year nineteen ninety two. And if you want to live up 44 00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:23,240 to the image of a world wide known college podcast, you have to accept 45 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,360 the fact that there is one more tape that you have to include in that 46 00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:34,039 tour. European Rampage nineteen ninety two Live from the Olympia Hall in Munich. 47 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,719 Chair, I think we actually did this show. No, I think we 48 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:40,199 did this show. Yes, we did do a European Rampage show, UK 49 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:45,039 Rampage. Oh, UK Rampage right, it was ninety one? Is that 50 00:03:45,039 --> 00:03:49,199 the one with the Royal Sam We also did no that was a battle at 51 00:03:49,199 --> 00:03:53,360 the Royal Albert Hall. We did one in nineteen ninety two that featured a 52 00:03:53,599 --> 00:04:00,360 Sean Michael's Randy Savage main event, as well as Sid Justice taking on the 53 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:06,719 Undertaker in what was not You know, we think of WrestleMania as his last 54 00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:12,360 match, but it was not because he had this European match. Maybe it 55 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,080 wasn't in Germany. Maybe it was in England. I don't know. Yeah, 56 00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:17,399 UK Rampage ninety two. Okay, maybe that's what it is. Sheffield 57 00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:20,240 Arena, Sheffield, England. I see, okay, that's what it was. 58 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,040 Yeah, Sheffield. Okay, that makes sense. So there's European Rampage 59 00:04:25,079 --> 00:04:29,199 nineteenninety two, live from the Olympia Hall in Munich, Germany in front of 60 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,519 over twelve thousand rabid fans in socks and sandals. Oh my god, while 61 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,800 the while the ww was on fire over here. In nineteen ninety two, 62 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,839 The event was broadcast live on TV and later released on tape. I think 63 00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:48,000 it would fit best to include it in your dive into World Tour nineteen ninety 64 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:54,120 two. The Battle Royal and Savage and Savage versus Michaels are identical on both 65 00:04:54,199 --> 00:04:58,199 tapes. What identical as in the match goes to the same spots. But 66 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,800 I guess the World Tour tape as not the special interview in which the hit 67 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:04,519 man wants to fuck the female interviewer, Oh my God help us, or 68 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,040 the interview in which the female interviewer wants to fuck the macho man. I 69 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,720 can listen to that episode. I don't remember hardly anyone. Well, no, 70 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,040 this is not this is different. This is all added. This is 71 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,319 stuff that's on the European rampage. Yeah yeah, or the other German craziness 72 00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:24,360 from back then people were starving for WW live action and go batshit crazy over 73 00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:30,040 a basic house show. Long Shore is long story short. The day will 74 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,399 come and you will feel the urge to include the tape and the canon to 75 00:05:32,439 --> 00:05:36,519 be the most complete college podcast of the universe. And then you will notice 76 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,079 that the stuff on YouTube is badly broken. And then you will notice that 77 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,240 my version is in German. And then you will notice the contact data on 78 00:05:45,319 --> 00:05:48,720 the CD. And then I will be your correspondent, like that Japanese speaking 79 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,920 guy with pain on the Pacific, or that general ad non translator or all 80 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,360 those other lapsed helpers. I'll be your auto Vaughn's for this shit. That's 81 00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,560 incredible. If you continue the unwrapping shows, you'll get more special German wrestling 82 00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:08,079 bullshit next year. Well let's see here. Let's see number one. We 83 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,079 have cards and stuff. Let's see here were German supers they got. Oh 84 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,199 they're tattoos really yeah, a Bam bam. You can't really see them because 85 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:18,959 they're kind of faded. Can you see that? It's a bam band tattoos, 86 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,120 the band bam logo. Yeah.

Actually it'll come on Actually, Yahu that remixed track. Let's 109 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,800 give the Solar System a little sample. If it's a gift to us after 110 00:08:28,879 --> 00:08:33,320 usty that fucking CD? Is it so wow? That's used, that's worn 111 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,200 sadly. If it's a gift to us, it's a gift to you, 112 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,080 Solar System this holiday season and everyone Heretofore, although you might not be able 113 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,159 to you know what, I have my settings on a different thing. It 114 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,720 might not come through. I know what I can do. I need to 115 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,399 come to the board. You can just put up to the mic. Well, 116 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,200 I don't have like a CD player like that nineteen ninety two. It's 117 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,200 amazing to get a car with the CD player in it anymore, which is 118 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,320 of course the last place where you might actually listen to CDs. That is 119 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,440 true, you might actually listen to them there. But you know what, 120 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,159 I think I can do something here. Oh no, I can't because we're 121 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:16,320 recording. Can I I wonder if I can Can I change that? Nope? 122 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,799 I can definitely not a sign that everything's gotten worse that a multimedia studio 123 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,200 can't find a CD player in twenty twenty three, I know, definitely not 124 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:31,080 a loss. But I will import, Yes, I'll import the seed the 125 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,480 CD, of course you will. Was that the end of the gift. 126 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:43,399 No, there's one more thing, and that is the DVD of European Rampage 127 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,639 four. Baby, there's nothing we love more than a dot MP four. 128 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,519 That is correct. So he's saying that was released on Colisseum. Well, 129 00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,279 they didn't have Colosseum Video in Europe. Yeah, I did, and there's 130 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,759 some, there's some, there's some European Colisseum videos, like I mean Battle 131 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,279 Royal Albert Hall was the UK exclusive. It was not Colosseum. Yeah, 132 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,399 it's not Silver Vision, No, it's Colosseum. Yep, that's Colosseum Video. 133 00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:11,000 It's very interesting. So he's saying it's basically a replica of the UK 134 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,679 Rampage ninety two that we've covered, with just some extra stuff on it. 135 00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:18,360 Well, not just that, it's not well that that match and the Battle 136 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:20,919 Royal are the same. I don't know what else is on there. There 137 00:10:20,919 --> 00:10:24,720 could be other loading it up things there. So it's European Rampage ninety two 138 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,360 from Munich. He said, yeah, that's wild. I love it, 139 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,559 and consider your offer being taken to offer German college German translation. Whatever we 140 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:39,200 need it. We never know when we're gonna stumble upon a show where it's 141 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:46,159 required. But there's nothing more satisfying than realizing what a ranting foreign tongue on 142 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,840 a wrestling show is actually saying like General Adnan is actually saying in Farsia during 143 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:58,600 the course. It's so important. And we saw the brilliance of that made 144 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,559 manifest again not too long ago where someone hit us someone on Twitter and the 145 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,639 spirit of the lapsed Funk showing us video of a match I think in nineteen 146 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:11,440 eighty two in al Japan where Terry Funk hits the ring to the adoring throngs 147 00:11:11,919 --> 00:11:15,480 and starts throwing things to the crowd and it looks like, you know, 148 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:20,000 basically like the candy you'd throw off a parade float to the spectators. And 149 00:11:20,039 --> 00:11:22,399 the question from the person who tweeted the video at us was you know, 150 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,879 is he tossing candy? Was? That was other thing for Terry Funk and 151 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:30,320 all Japan. And again another example of the translator, the translation du jour, 152 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,320 the translator par excellence yea. In this case we hit up Fumi Saido 153 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,080 on Twitter and said, hey, Foomi, he was the guy that used 154 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,279 to go to Al Japan when the Funks were on top was intimately familiar. 155 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,919 We of course played several sounds from his great podcast that he does, the 156 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,840 Pacific Rim Podcast with Jim Valley at Wrestling Observer talking about what was like observing 157 00:11:46,919 --> 00:11:52,080 Terry Funk in his heydays as a Japanese babyface in the late seventies and early 158 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,519 eighties, and he immediately said, no, that's not candy. Those are 159 00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:01,480 the Terry Funk commemorative coins that he used to be Arena and even had a 160 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,320 nice close up photo of what they look like, basically engravings of him and 161 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,279 Dory and Texas this and Texas that all over and you could, according to 162 00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:13,240 Fumi, you can only get them if you happen to attend to show or 163 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,000 Terry threw him out to the and that's just you know, that's the kind 164 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:22,679 of stuff like talk about lost in translation fans like like Ben in this case 165 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,159 offering the German I mean, I'm not sure an auto van's journey is coming 166 00:12:26,159 --> 00:12:30,080 anytime soon, or a catching journey is coming anytime soon, but hey could 167 00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,399 sure we can find a use for it.
