Speaker 1: Well, we're finally here at long last. It's been a
Speaker 1: bevy of hilarity and insight from the participants in the
Speaker 1: many encounters of the tlf X Games tournament. It's the
Speaker 1: tournament to decide King of the Cast, the greatest character
Speaker 1: in the history of the laps Fan Podcast. It's been
Speaker 1: a wonderful series of interviews and insights from thirty of
Speaker 1: our top competitors, thirty of the first round draftees. We're
Speaker 1: about to hear from the final to you here, and
Speaker 1: we certainly have enjoyed completely aggravating to people who think
Speaker 1: the imitations are the worst part of the laps Fan
Speaker 1: Wrestling Podcast, which, of course, without the imitations, we wouldn't
Speaker 1: be here after ten years. So we thank you in
Speaker 1: equal parts for the hate lessons as much as for
Speaker 1: the love. And in that spirit, there couldn't be anybody
Speaker 1: who brings more hate and venom to the table when
Speaker 1: he steps in front of a camera. Stone Cold Steve Austin,
Speaker 1: the all time great, is here as well as Lord
Speaker 1: Alfred Hayes, my longtime compatriot in the WWA. I have
Speaker 1: home video announced booth and in this Colisseum exclusive. Looking
Speaker 1: forward to seeing Lord Al again as the TLFX Games
Speaker 1: continue to roll out the final first round matchup. The
Speaker 1: final first round encounter here between Austin and Lord Al Hayes.
Speaker 1: We do remind you, of course, the TLFX Games is
Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends at Garage Beer, small
Speaker 1: Batch Light Beer. The garage is always open, and let's
Speaker 1: open it up now to the Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold
Speaker 1: Steve Austin.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here at the house. I got the remote
Speaker 2: control in my hand. I'm thinking to myself, hell Son,
Speaker 2: it's been quite a while since Stone Cold Steve Austin
Speaker 2: has found himself in a goddamn tournament. And I'm looking up.
Speaker 2: I'm looking down. I'm looking ten by twenty, I'm looking
Speaker 2: thirty by forty. I'm looking at thirty two names on
Speaker 2: this sun. Bitch, I just, you know, patted my cat.
Speaker 2: I'll put my cat on TikTok, damn it. And after
Speaker 2: I put my tack on whatever the hell it is.
Speaker 2: After I put my cat on TikTok, I thought to myself,
Speaker 2: you know what other pussies do I know? And I said,
Speaker 2: Lord Al, hey's you British sign off up yet? I'm
Speaker 2: looking at your beat a little eyes sign, Judo al Hayes.
Speaker 2: I know Al Hayes. Fuck Judo al Haes, I know
Speaker 2: al Hayes sign. And You're really starting to piss me off.
Speaker 2: I'm looking up and down, left and right here in
Speaker 2: the podcast. We offered snacks in the mail for years
Speaker 2: with our partners of podcast one. I had a lot
Speaker 2: of fun sitting down and chopping it up down at
Speaker 2: the ranch Broken Skull Ranch. I cracked them open with
Speaker 2: the best of them, but never got a chance to
Speaker 2: sit across from the table from you and hell Son
Speaker 2: spent a long time from flame broiled gimmicks, the TLFX
Speaker 2: game gimmicks. It's been a long road for Stone Cold
Speaker 2: Steve Austin. But I'm not thinking at ending here. I'm
Speaker 2: not thinking it's ending with a broken skull ipa. I'm
Speaker 2: not thinking attending with the dam. I'm Steve Wiser, sure
Speaker 2: as hell, not ending with that Stone Cold beer, that
Speaker 2: that fucking hulk Cogan gimmick beer. I see you on
Speaker 2: the bracket sign. We never got our chance to mix
Speaker 2: it up. Am I looking past Lord al Hayes. Hell Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stump a mud hole in his ass. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be looking like a pepper pig puddle by the
Speaker 2: time it's over. And when I stand up, Son, and
Speaker 2: I flip a double bird to the entire solar system.
Speaker 2: Who forgets that? In so many ways, this started not
Speaker 2: when Vince McMahon started having his voice heard on the cast,
Speaker 2: but when I invited him on my damn podcast and
Speaker 2: we got to the bottom of who lapsed Vince was.
Speaker 2: And I see you in that next round, Son, And
Speaker 2: there's perhaps nothing more appropriate I can think of then
Speaker 2: facing off with my arch nemesis, Vince McMahon one more time,
Speaker 2: except this time I got a whole lot more intel
Speaker 2: on you, Son, and the whole world knows a whole
Speaker 2: lot more about what kind of piece of trash you
Speaker 2: really were. And Stone Cold Steve Austin looks forward to
Speaker 2: laying down the dossier on everybody else in this damn tournament,
Speaker 2: each one I face. We know a hell a lot
Speaker 2: more about him now than we did when Stone Cold
Speaker 2: Steve Austin first faced across in the ring from him,
Speaker 2: Lord Al Hayes, your next, you stupid bitch. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: fucking destroy you, Son, and I'll see you next round
Speaker 2: and beyond it's nineteen ninety six all over against son
Speaker 2: laps Fan three sixteen. I'm gonna whip that ass.
Speaker 1: I'm sure how he's gonna come back from that one.
Speaker 1: But we will now earn it over to my longtime
Speaker 1: broadcast colleague. But I won't be by his side when
Speaker 1: it comes to this match up with Steve Austin. Lord
Speaker 1: Alfred Hayes.
Speaker 3: Well, you know stone cold Steve Austin, I I don't
Speaker 3: um you know. Well you talked about broken skulls, and
Speaker 3: I suppose maybe I can break your skull again. Man,
Speaker 3: it is I broke, I've broken your skull or maybe
Speaker 3: I don't know. Like I can tell you one thing
Speaker 3: about me that I do hope that during our uh
Speaker 3: our engagement that we will have the exquisite of a
Speaker 3: camera footage like the Colosseum video camera footage people have
Speaker 3: done over the years. And you know you talk about
Speaker 3: you talk about your Austin three sixteen. Well, Hayes three
Speaker 3: sixteen says promotional consideration is paid for by the following
Speaker 3: double dragon. Feel the power of the dragon in double dragon,
Speaker 3: and I will double dragon your ass from here to
Speaker 3: London and back again. Voting in the tear FX games
