00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.039
<v Speaker 4>a little disturbing that people do this for us.

42
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:19.599
<v Speaker 1>Well, I didn't know what to expect, and I was

50
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 4>into a Blu Ray. That's great. Of course, folks remember

51
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 4>the art of war games in bashirty seven. No one will.

52
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:57.840

<v Speaker 3>Well?

57
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 4>It also shows the Bash on the back, which tells

58
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>me that it's more than just the Wargames match That

59
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Wargames VHS just shows that one match.

60
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.120

91
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 4>it's almost like an ad that they would have distributed

92
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.480

110
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.959

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.959
<v Speaker 3>heroes career move Who is the hero?

117
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 4>That is the question. We've been asking that for ten years.

118
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 4>I'll be your heroo.

119
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:43.720
<v Speaker 2>He hero?

120
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:46.839
<v Speaker 4>Maybe could you read just the first paragraph for us,

121
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:51.920
<v Speaker 4>if you can see that of the article itself? Yes,

122
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:59.759
<v Speaker 4>what does it take to be not at all?

123
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Do the taste to be a mean?

124
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Thirty name?

125
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Men?

126
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Happy? Your hero all the time.

127
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.199
<v Speaker 2>It's like lunch.

128
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 3>Usual, only your hero. A professional wrestling contest, uh huh

129
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.519
<v Speaker 3>is vaguely like watching any other sporting events.

130
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Vaguely.

131
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 5>They get jecked out in team apparel, yell at the

132
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 5>top of their lungs, and even bring homemade signs to

133
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.480
<v Speaker 5>cheer on their favorites.

134
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:49.439
<v Speaker 3>But forget who has the lead rushing record or which

135
00:07:49.639 --> 00:07:56.920
<v Speaker 3>for her back has thrown the most interceptions. Wrestling fans

136
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:02.519
<v Speaker 3>have more important things to worry. Uh. Will Scott Hall

137
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 3>and Kevin Nash repair their broken friendship and become tag

138
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.399
<v Speaker 3>team partners again? Will the Steiner brothers see I do

139
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 3>I and quit fighting each other? Will anyone ever defeat Goldbird?

140
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 3>These are the questions the mom keep wrestling.

141
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 2>That's Whoopie Goldbergs.

142
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.000
<v Speaker 3>No, No, she was never a wrestler.

143
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:35.720
<v Speaker 4>Thirty years ago.

144
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.840
<v Speaker 3>Twenty five. No, it's about thirty years ago. What is this,

145
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 3>nineteen ninety eight.

146
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Ninety eight, So, so it's twenty six years ago.

147
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:52.799
<v Speaker 3>It's before two thousand, twenty five, twenty five, coming up.

148
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.080
<v Speaker 5>This right after this Christmas.

149
00:08:55.600 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 3>Yes, these are the crush questions that keep wrestling fans.

150
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 4>On the edge of their seats MM.

151
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 3>And the stories that have made wrestling surge in popularity

152
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 3>in the past. In the past few years, they've made

153
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 3>it in the past few years. Die Hard fans don't

154
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.440
<v Speaker 3>just know the characters.

155
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm a Diehard film. I like Diehard too as well.

156
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm famous Diehard.

157
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:31.480
<v Speaker 3>Three matches that may all break their careers. You're old

158
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 3>Matt Vickery.

159
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Uh huh uh he's he's gonna get it. Oh, it's

160
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 2>his turn. Love it is the.

161
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 4>Ex Ryvak's brother.

162
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 2>I like watching it, you said, yeah.

163
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I like the signature moves and the trash talk. Keeping

164
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 3>up with the storylines between wrestlers is part of what

165
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:00.120
<v Speaker 3>Ki's Vicker.

166
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>And Vickory fan. He said not.

167
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 3>Victory become so familiar with the sport that he can

168
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 3>often predict.

169
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:11.399
<v Speaker 2>Who will win each.

170
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:21.919
<v Speaker 6>Like a fan, Victory knows each wrestler's full file, along

171
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:27.159
<v Speaker 6>with the signature moves that send Cross into a frenzy.

172
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.480
<v Speaker 3>He probably even grant a demonstration if requested.

173
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's not request that. That's a wonderful reading, and

174
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 4>we want to thank you for uh bringing us back

175
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:40.320
<v Speaker 4>to nineteen ninety eight.

176
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, is this all wrestling in the year.

177
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 4>No, I believe this is a normal newspaper from Lubbock,

178
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.480
<v Speaker 4>from Lubbock, Texas. Yeah, I believe it's a Texas newspaper.

179
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:53.159
<v Speaker 4>As you'll see, there's the Anne Landers column.

180
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 3>Oh store.

181
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 4>Correct, some wedding announcements. Uh, here as is accustomed. Yeah,

182
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.000
<v Speaker 4>what young child doesn't like Halloween? P.

183
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:08.440
<v Speaker 2>Eight eight.

184
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.879
<v Speaker 4>That's pretty Yeah, yeah, that's that's an investment. Television brings

185
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.480
<v Speaker 4>up weighty issue wrestling, acquiring followers of alley. So this

186
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 4>has continued. But yeah, this is like in nineteen ninety eight,

187
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 4>wrestling was really hot, and so every newspaper in the

188
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:20.759
<v Speaker 4>country was like.

189
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Hey, people like wrestling.

190
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's figure out why these idiots are watching that, And

191
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 4>so that twelve year old was held out. That's the

192
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.440
<v Speaker 4>unfortunate example. Well, Christian, you want to thank you that's

<v Speaker 4>a great box full of a lot of fun. And

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.720
<v Speaker 4>they were really fortunate that you put this in our hands,

195
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.759
<v Speaker 4>as Mama Saraw was on hand to read it, because

196
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.919
<v Speaker 4>that's one of the finer renditions you're going to hear

197
00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 4>better than and we you know, we we know a

198
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:45.159
<v Speaker 4>lot about dramatically reading newspaper articles from thirty years ago.

199
00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.919
