<v Speaker 1>artificial job at.

7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.199
<v Speaker 2>Trimming timeess is only exceeded by our inability to adjust

8
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.600
<v Speaker 2>allow their wrangling. Here the Lapsed Fanboy got a price

00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Uh, in your in your home growing up, Mama sarrow,

50
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>was the gift wrapping a very important thing? Were you

51
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.759
<v Speaker 2>very particular about how it was wrapped? Were you fretful

52
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.800
<v Speaker 2>when someone would just tear through the packaging? Would you

53
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 2>want them to open carefully and delicately? I was not

54
00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:58.719
<v Speaker 2>as specific as my oldest sister.

55
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:05.280

<v Speaker 1>Yes, save it?

60
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Can you imagine? No? Now what we will not

61
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.199
<v Speaker 2>be saving this packaging?

62
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'll tell you what this is. Uh this is

63
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>actually a good one.

64
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh look at that? What is that? Careful poster board?

65
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:31.919
<v Speaker 2>We unroll it and it is good. The Brawl to

66
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Settle It All poster that, of course is Hogan and

67
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>t v's Piper and Ora Dworf. It was on MTV

68
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 2>head of wrestle May this is uh no, this is

69
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>a reference to WrestleMania one in Madison Square Garden, March

70
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty first, nineteen eighty five. I was thinking Brawl to

71
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Settle at All, cause that was the MTV special. But

72
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>this is WrestleMania itself. It just doesn't say WrestleMania on it.

73
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.439
<v Speaker 2>Is this an original?

74
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Let's find out, uh, dearest co chairs.

75
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>First things, First, look at this m motherfucker with a

76
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>handwritten letter in twenty twenty four. Oh, we love it,

77
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>so many of them? Give us more hashtag blessed. Indeed, well,

78
00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Merry Christmas, you jolly sons of bitches. And I hope

79
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 1>you can read my chicken scratch?

80
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.800
<v Speaker 2>What that is? No chicken scratch?

81
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Hand?

82
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, you never taught them what chicken scratch means. No,

83
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you allow chicken scratch? I say so, why would you know? Right?

84
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I hope you read this before fully opening the package. Whoops.

85
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.399
<v Speaker 1>I thought sending a separate letter would be confusing. So

86
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it is what it is. There is a bit of

87
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>a story behind this. I first saw this on eBay

88
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>ages ago and wanted it for its historical relevance and

89
00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.639
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, it's a pretty bad ass, but it

90
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 1>was always out of my reach. This past May, I

91
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>happened to be on there searching for vintage wrestling posters

92
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 1>because I'm a fucking dork, and lo and behold, there

93
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it is, and for a price I could tolerate I

94
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 1>snapped it up. The week goes by ten days. I

95
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:01.920
<v Speaker 1>have a tracking number, but no post. Oh no I

96
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>contact the seller. Have I been had? It? All did

97
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>seem too good to be true? To my relief, he

98
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>was a sweetheart of a guy named Alan from New Jersey.

99
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Don't worry about it, you know I have another one.

100
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.279
<v Speaker 1>I'll send it tomorrow. You're sorry for the trouble.

101
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm printing him off anyway, It's not even real.

102
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>Another one turns out Old Allen was part of a

103
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>street team responsible for placing posters in bars, restaurants, et

104
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:33.199
<v Speaker 1>cetera to promote closed circuit showings of Russell Mania.

105
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you kidding?

106
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:38.079
<v Speaker 1>You may now open your gifts? Well we did, sorry.

107
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Pal, and it's a Hogan picture from you know, the

108
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>Blassie days when we.

109
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 1>Had a cap on. Old Alan went on to say

110
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.439
<v Speaker 1>that he had several more of these bad boys. I

111
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 1>thanked him and my poster arrived a week later, and

112
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't give much thought to any of it until

113
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>I listened to some of the Philly WrestleMania con context,

114
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 1>contest content content, and I believe the I from the

115
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:02.639
<v Speaker 1>Allentown bar had one of these hanging up.

116
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know I've seen this before and that's where

117
00:06:05.480 --> 00:06:08.519
<v Speaker 2>it is. Yeah, it's the Ringer's roost. I visited him

118
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 2>before WrestleMania. It's a barn restaurant that was right next

119
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.639
<v Speaker 2>to where WWF would tape its television show for years

120
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>in Pennsylvania. So we were talking about the old days.

121
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>And he has a dining room full of frame pictures

122
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.800
<v Speaker 2>of him and the wrestlers over the years, and this

123
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>was one of them.

124
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 1>Yep, I do remember that based on a picture on

125
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.319
<v Speaker 1>the x account. Fast forward to three months later, a

126
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.519
<v Speaker 1>package arrived at my home, this very package. In fact,

127
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>I had to rack my brain. Did I order something

128
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.199
<v Speaker 1>in a drunken stupor? Who sent this?

129
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Ah almasara like that?

130
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>One sounds fake, vaguely familiar. Oh shit. I pulled eBay

131
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 1>back up and sure enough, tracking from May is updated

132
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>to delivered that day in August. I want you to

133
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>know I did the right thing. Alan said I could

134
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.959
<v Speaker 1>keep it. I offered to send it back. This is

135
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 1>something to just give away. This is not something to

136
00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>just give away. I pleaded, Hey, if you paid for

137
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:00.879
<v Speaker 1>with the that's good enough for me.

138
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Why what a Christmas story?

139
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:09.839
<v Speaker 1>This? Yes, indeed, Consider this my way, brother, Consider this

140
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>my way to pay it forward from an OG wrestling

141
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>fan to another and now on to you. If nothing else,

142
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 1>you can look upon this poster in a corner of

143
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the house where you don't allow the good company to

144
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>go and remember that despite all the bullshit, there are

145
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 1>still good kind people in this world, even wrestling.

146
