Speaker 1: It's time for your weekly fis of wrestling nostalgia. When
Speaker 1: we look at wrestling's past eras from the Attitude era,
Speaker 1: this is a reality era.
Speaker 2: I'd like to think, then maybe this company will be better.
Speaker 3: After Vince McMahon's dead, But the.
Speaker 2: Fact is it's it's gonna get taken over by his
Speaker 2: idiotic daughter and his dupest son in law and the
Speaker 2: rest of his stupid family.
Speaker 1: Here's the dad here on the WWE podcast.
Speaker 2: Guys, welcome to the wrestling nostalgia portion of the WWE
Speaker 2: Podcast is Sunday, March twenty fourth, twenty nineteen. Want to
Speaker 2: welcome you to the show. I'm always excited about this
Speaker 2: show for the week. The wrestling nostalgia portion of the show, really,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I love reviewing Raw and SmackDown,
Speaker 2: especially now that we're rolling into WrestleMania season. There is
Speaker 2: no shortage of things to talk about there. But there's
Speaker 2: just something special about the wrestling nostalgia portion that I do.
Speaker 2: And maybe it's because of just that it's a nostalgia
Speaker 2: and maybe it's me living in the past a bit
Speaker 2: from the memories that brought me into wrestling, the memories
Speaker 2: that I go back to on YouTube, the memories that
Speaker 2: I go back to on the WWE network, And there
Speaker 2: are times when you know, I live for the glory days,
Speaker 2: and I think we're all at times guilty of that,
Speaker 2: for better or worse. I mean, when you go back
Speaker 2: to your roots and you go back to what brought
Speaker 2: you to the dance, it reminds you why you're a fan,
Speaker 2: and no memory serves me better for this purpose. And
Speaker 2: then the one I'm sharing with you guys today, And
Speaker 2: I can't say it's my favorite memory, because, as Jim
Speaker 2: Ross always says, it's like picking your favorite child. I mean,
Speaker 2: I don't know how you pick a favorite moment. This
Speaker 2: is one of my favorites, but just because it's the
Speaker 2: first one that I really have doesn't mean it's my favorite.
Speaker 2: But it is up there wherever that may be, in
Speaker 2: my top five list or whatever. And it brought me in,
Speaker 2: it captured captivated me as a at the time, a
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, let me do the math, a twelve
Speaker 2: year old fan, very naive to the product, very new,
Speaker 2: and not educated whatsoever on what professional wrestling was. And
Speaker 2: this is, of course, what I'm talking about, is the
Speaker 2: very first hell in a cell with Sean Michaels versus
Speaker 2: the Undertaker.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Walk you guys through a little bit of what I
Speaker 2: was thinking looking back then, and of course give you
Speaker 2: guys some audio from that time. The audio equality is
Speaker 2: not the best that I'm gonna pull you, guys, but
Speaker 2: you'll get a sense of reliving that moment if you
Speaker 2: haven't done it already. And many new fans out there, guys,
Speaker 2: I highly recommend that you go take listen or watch
Speaker 2: this match. It is just so perfectly done. The story
Speaker 2: is just superb, and you're doing yourself a disservice by
Speaker 2: not watching this match. It is just awesome, and not
Speaker 2: just because it's the first, but there are two pros
Speaker 2: in there doing what they do best, and that's telling a.
Speaker 3: Hell of a story.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get to all of that, all of it,
Speaker 2: and but before I do, I just want to set
Speaker 2: the table, guys, if you've never listened to me before.
Speaker 2: This is the WWE Podcast, and I do a show too,
Speaker 2: sometimes three times a week, and as WrestleMania creeps closer,
Speaker 2: I may get more towards that three or more, maybe
Speaker 2: more shows a week because as the final shows close
Speaker 2: into WrestleMania, there will be, no doubt, no shortage of
Speaker 2: talking points. And I also notice that WWE on their
Speaker 2: homepage is I don't know if they're taking a poll
Speaker 2: on who should main event WrestleMania, whether it's Seth Rollins
Speaker 2: and brock Lesner or the triple threat for the Women's
Speaker 2: Raw Women's Championship. Now, I agree that there was only
Speaker 2: one main event, but WWE loves to press the narrative
Speaker 2: every year that you'll be in a main event or
Speaker 2: it's one of the main events. BS, there's one main event,
Speaker 2: you want to know what that main event is, the
Speaker 2: one that goes on last. Don't give me a main event.
Speaker 2: Main event is a singular term. Main event means there's one.
Speaker 2: Main event means you are the show. Main event means
Speaker 2: you are the lasting image as they show goes off
Speaker 2: the air a lah, you are the main event. It's
Speaker 2: never main events. That's not a plural. If you think
Speaker 2: it's a plural term, you have been you have been
Speaker 2: influenced by the corporate speak of WWE. It is not
Speaker 2: a plural term. So guys, thank you once again for
Speaker 2: joining me. You could find me everywhere that you have
Speaker 2: audio whether you have Android, whether you have Apple, it
Speaker 2: really doesn't matter. And I also encourage you to go
Speaker 2: ahead and give me if you think I deserve it,
Speaker 2: a five star review on Apple Podcasts.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 2: It's really helping me move up in the rankings. I

Speaker 2: Now, right, guys, welcome back, thank you for sticking with
Speaker 2: me here, and let's get to some audio from the
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven pay per view entitled bad Blood October fifth,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety seven. And this was again something that I'll
Speaker 2: let you guys listen to real quick justice.
Speaker 3: Here I don't know. It was Michaels who edits to
Speaker 3: turn to begin with will they undertake your strikes? Michael,
Speaker 3: Michael does the Tombston.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, I'm gonna I'm gonna positive right here.
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm gonna positive is because there's a
Speaker 2: second part to this, and that is Caine's debut, which
Speaker 2: was absolutely amazing, perfectly done, awesome story. Paul Bear, who
Speaker 2: is was the manager of the Undertaker, had been saying
Speaker 2: for weeks and months that his younger brother Kane is
Speaker 2: still alive from a fire that had happened when they
Speaker 2: were children at a funeral home, and and the Undertaker
Speaker 2: didn't believe it. Paul Barre continue to insist that Caine
Speaker 2: was alive, and allah, we have Paul Bart producing Cain
Speaker 2: at this pay per view, costing the Undertaker the match.
Speaker 2: As you know, we all know. I don't think it's
Speaker 2: spoilers at this point, but Cain debuted man. Will he
Speaker 2: ever be the Undertaker?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: But man, was he a monster in his own right.
Speaker 2: I don't think he should have been compared to the Undertaker.
Speaker 2: And the reason I say that is because there is
Speaker 2: nobody like the Undertaker. When Cain debuted, he was a
Speaker 2: complete monster, ripped the door off the cell, ends up
Speaker 2: tombstoning the Undertaker, and from there it produced a program
Speaker 2: for the Undertaker and Caine to face each other at
Speaker 2: WrestleMania A fourteen. It was just, oh my gosh. And
Speaker 2: when you look and when you guys heard that chair
Speaker 2: shot from Kine or from Undertaker to Sean Michaels, that
Speaker 2: was one of the most just flush brutal chair shots.
Speaker 2: Michaels is covered in blood. He cut himself perfectly. The
Speaker 2: story leading up to this because to me, that is
Speaker 2: so important. They had a series of matches before this
Speaker 2: that psychologically made sense to put these two in a cell.
Speaker 2: They had a one on one match, they had a
Speaker 2: I believe a lumberjack match at Ground Zero, the pay
Speaker 2: per view before this, in which it ended in a
Speaker 2: no contest and Michaels is able to escape. So their
Speaker 2: third match should be a hell in a cell. It
Speaker 2: wasn't just a a pay per view built into the
Speaker 2: schedule of the year that we now have, which and
Speaker 2: the mystique of the cell is all but gone. And
Speaker 2: it's not only gone because of the fact that it's
Speaker 2: just built into the schedule and whatever rivalries happen to
Speaker 2: be going on at that time, they're going to put
Speaker 2: them in the cell. It's it's that the stories don't warrant.
Speaker 2: They don't warrant the cell. These two, of course are
Speaker 2: Hall of famers, but the story was perfect. And then
Speaker 2: having the loss to the Undertaker or the loss to
Speaker 2: Shawn Michaels at the hands of Cain was just it
Speaker 2: was a just a moment. And I at that time,
Speaker 2: I was twelve years old.
Speaker 4: I told you this.
Speaker 2: I was twelve years old, and I'm thinking that this
Speaker 2: is the you know, I kind of know it's fake.
Speaker 2: I had a friend who introduced me to it, introduced
Speaker 2: me to wrestling. And I'll say his name because there's
Speaker 2: the odds of him listening. I mean, who cares. His
Speaker 2: name was Derek Adams and I went to a Catholic
Speaker 2: school with him, and he introduced me to wrestling. And
Speaker 2: when he told me about it, he yeah, how cool
Speaker 2: it was, and you know, he let me know that that's,
Speaker 2: you know, fake, But I was looking at it and
Speaker 2: I was like, are you sure this is fake? You know,
Speaker 2: like these guys were laying in each other and I
Speaker 2: was watching this rivalry between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker,
Speaker 2: and they were so convincing. The story was so convincing.
Speaker 2: And I remember, and I was just watching the promo
Speaker 2: video of the workers who were brought in flown in
Speaker 2: from all over the country to build the cell and
Speaker 2: they had this really just dramatic music in the background
Speaker 2: and it's never been done before. It was just amazing,
Speaker 2: and it is just an example of what you can
Speaker 2: do with great storytelling. And yes, it didn't hurt that
Speaker 2: these two are all star Hall of Fame, first ballot
Speaker 2: Hall of Famers, I mean, of course, but it was
Speaker 2: just in the match itself, of course, where you had
Speaker 2: Undertaker dominate Shawn Michaels for the majority of the match,
Speaker 2: a couple of hope spots for Sean getting some offense,
Speaker 2: and you know, one of the standout moments for me
Speaker 2: is when Sean hit that sweet Chin music on Undertaker.
Speaker 2: An Undertaker sold it for about three seconds and then
Speaker 2: sat up and then Michael's just went ballistic. Didn't know
Speaker 2: what to do. It was good timing for a referee
Speaker 2: who had just taken a bump to escape the cage.
Speaker 2: Escapes the cage or excuse me, the cell escapes the
Speaker 2: cell and then ends up taking a bump about halfway
Speaker 2: up the cell, off of the cell into in the
Speaker 2: announced tables, and just so well done. Michael's bloodied. I mean,
Speaker 2: he looked like a million bucks. And I mean that
Speaker 2: as a compliment. I don't mean that facetiously sarcastically. Shawn
Speaker 2: Michaels caught himself just perfectly for that crimson mask, as
Speaker 2: they say, and it just added to the drama. And
Speaker 2: I missed the blood once in a while, I really do.
Speaker 2: I miss the blood. And I know that that's not
Speaker 2: going to create ratings in and of itself. I know
Speaker 2: that's a PG environment now, But sometimes blood is warranted,
Speaker 2: and in this case, it was absolutely warranted based on
Speaker 2: how hot their feud was. And you're in hell in
Speaker 2: a cell, so it made total sense. And it happened
Speaker 2: when undertaker catapulted Shawn Michael's into the outside of the
Speaker 2: cell when they eventually made it to the outside. And
Speaker 2: if you watch, you can actually see Shawn Michael's cutting
Speaker 2: himself as he's being catapulted into the cell. But you know,
Speaker 2: I just try to suspend my disbelief there and pretend
Speaker 2: that didn't happen. But it was Again, guys, I just
Speaker 2: can't say enough about this match. You know, was it
Speaker 2: a five star classic by today's standards? No? Not by
Speaker 2: today's standards. That we have now re kind of rejiggered
Speaker 2: or reconstructed our five star rating system. In other words,
Speaker 2: what we as fans think of as five star matches.
Speaker 2: Now you'd look back and go, really, Matt, this is
Speaker 2: a you think this is a five star match. Well,
Speaker 2: here's the difference between then and now. Now we look
Speaker 2: at five star matches as only what happens inside the ring.
Speaker 2: How many cool flips and flops somebody can do in
Speaker 2: near falls we can have versus back then, when things
Speaker 2: the pace was slower and the story was better. Do
Speaker 2: you wonder that last line the story was better. Stories
Speaker 2: and storytelling can make up for a lackluster physical portion.
Speaker 3: Of the match.
Speaker 2: And you may, you know, you may go back and again,
Speaker 2: you're probably those of you who haven't seen it gonna
Speaker 2: think that I'm crazy for thinking that's a five star match.
Speaker 2: But in my mind it was not, just because it's nostalgia,
Speaker 2: so I, you know, kind of artificially inflate my perception
Speaker 2: of what it was back then because it was just
Speaker 2: so cool. But no, it was because it was just
Speaker 2: one of those perfect stories. I mean, look how Undertaker
Speaker 2: and Sean did it WrestleMania twenty five that many believe
Speaker 2: save that WrestleMania that was a classic. They are just
Speaker 2: peanut butter and jelly when they get in there. Their
Speaker 2: styles compliment each other. They wouldn't need twenty nineteen, but
Speaker 2: they did back in two thousand and nine when they
Speaker 2: face each other at WrestleMania twenty five and then obviously
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety seven collision that they had at Bad Blood.
Speaker 2: So again, you guys, I just I love it. I'd
Speaker 2: highly recommend it anybody to go take a look and
Speaker 2: it just trust me when I say this, though, you
Speaker 2: can't look at it and judge it by today's standards
Speaker 2: because the product has changed so much in twenty two
Speaker 2: years that your ideology and your idea of what a
Speaker 2: five star match is evolves, and what it is now
Speaker 2: may not be what it was back then, at least
Speaker 2: in your mind, but in real time, in that era,
Speaker 2: in that moment, it was one of the best matches
Speaker 2: I've ever seen, especially in Number one. Main reason is
Speaker 2: a story it told, which is all we want to do, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what professional wrestling is. So highly recommend
Speaker 2: you guys check it out and I'll leave it at that.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to take one more quick break. But
Speaker 2: on the other side, guys, I know this is the wrestling,
Speaker 2: this Stallenge show, and it is by all means it is.
Speaker 2: But on the other side, I'm going to get to
Speaker 2: some comments about WrestleMania, some news coming out, injury reports,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. Just give you guys a little
Speaker 2: bit of an update. I know RAW is tomorrow night,
Speaker 2: so obviously we'll have a lot more talking points to
Speaker 2: discuss and then smack down live on Tuesday night. So
Speaker 2: on the other side, guys, I'm going to get to
Speaker 2: more current events. So stay right here, go.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back, Thank you guys for sticking with me.
Speaker 2: Some little news I want to go over here is
Speaker 2: this whole controversy of Kurt Angle in the fans being
Speaker 2: outraged that Baron Corbin was his selection for his final
Speaker 2: opponent at WrestleMania thirty five. And I give you, guys
Speaker 2: my opinion on this in my show last time, and
Speaker 2: while I'm not thrilled with it, I don't think anybody's
Speaker 2: thrilled with it. And now, guys, this is of course,
Speaker 2: assuming that this is going to stick. WW could very
Speaker 2: well may switch his opponent out for as we all
Speaker 2: hope John Cena or another opponent of his choosing that
Speaker 2: is much more high profile. And I'm sorry, deserving of
Speaker 2: a WrestleMania spot with the guy this is Kurt freaking Angle,
Speaker 2: I mean the Olympic gold meda. I don't care if
Speaker 2: you think that his TNA days tarnished his WWE legacy.
Speaker 2: It hasn't, it is not, And Kurt Angle is deserving
Speaker 2: of more than Baron Corbyn. That's again, Baron Corbin's just
Speaker 2: not anywhere near Kurt Angle's level of accomplishment and having
Speaker 2: him at WrestleMania face Kurt Angle for in his final
Speaker 2: match just to me, while storyline wise, I will fully
Speaker 2: admit makes sense. It's not a WrestleMania makes sense moment.
Speaker 2: This is a this needs to be a feel good
Speaker 2: moment for Kurt, who needs just to tap somebody out
Speaker 2: and right off into the sunset and call it a career.
Speaker 2: I think that's what it needs to be. And I
Speaker 2: just hope it's not Baron Corbyn, but I'll watch if
Speaker 2: it's Baron Corbyn, you know, a watch. But I'm not
Speaker 2: outraged like most fans are. I'm not freaking out. I'm
Speaker 2: just kind of disappointed that it's like, oh, okay, it
Speaker 2: makes sense, but I'm sorry, Baron Corbyn is not big enough,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not sorry. Corbyn is not a big name,
Speaker 2: end of subject, and it's not WrestleMania worthy. So that's that.
Speaker 2: And again that's one of the few times you guys
Speaker 2: will hear me say that it's not worth even the
Speaker 2: storyline to have a guy in there, but it's it
Speaker 2: is Kurt Angle's last match, so that kind of washes
Speaker 2: out that. But some late breaking news that Kurt Angle
Speaker 2: is going to be facing aj Styles on SmackDown Live
Speaker 2: this week. That's a channel changer. I mean, these two
Speaker 2: have a story history in TNA. There's no doubt that
Speaker 2: the ability of AJ styles far out weighs Kurt Angle
Speaker 2: at this point in his career. So it'll be interesting
Speaker 2: to see how these two mesh. I think that they
Speaker 2: will mesh. Just find the problem is Kurt Angle is,
Speaker 2: you know, two and a half steps slower than he was.
Speaker 2: His body has got a thousand miles on it. I said,
Speaker 2: that's not a whole lot, about one hundred thousand miles
Speaker 2: on it. And he is just he just father time
Speaker 2: has gotten to him and injuries and everything else. You know,
Speaker 2: he's taken probably you know, hundreds of thousands of pumps
Speaker 2: in his career. I mean, it's just called time to
Speaker 2: call it. But it'd be interesting and cool to see
Speaker 2: Kurt face AJ Styles and what I'm sure will end
Speaker 2: up being a some kind of non finish as Randy
Speaker 2: Orton may interject himself in in the match, and as
Speaker 2: you know, we probably won't get a finish that smells
Speaker 2: of a of a non finish. So that was just
Speaker 2: some late breaking news on the kurd Angle front. And
Speaker 2: you know some of the things I want to talk
Speaker 2: about it. You know, I talked quickly on the blood
Speaker 2: I know, I don't need blood, but sometimes man blood
Speaker 2: just adds to the story, even if it's by accident.
Speaker 2: Think about what happened with Brock Leathern at WrestleMania a
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Think about what happened to Becky
Speaker 2: Lynch more recently, when she accidentally got her face busted
Speaker 2: open by Nia Jacks. It was an iconic moment. Becky
Speaker 2: has sold thousands of shirts by that accident.
Speaker 3: It just makes sense.
Speaker 2: So kind I'm just kind of scrolling through the news feed,
Speaker 2: and I was earlier too as well. You know, I
Speaker 2: hate to dwell on this Triple Threat match. I really do.
Speaker 2: I really really don't like to dwell on Triple Threat because,
Speaker 2: as I said, I've kind of come to terms with
Speaker 2: the Triple Threat, so as many hours as I've spent
Speaker 2: ranting on the fact that the triple thread is just stupid.
Speaker 2: It's stupid. I understand it, but they still think it's stupid,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm I don't want to say I'm bored
Speaker 2: by this. I just don't know what to think about
Speaker 2: it anymore. And not because I want one on one
Speaker 2: we all know that, but but because the storyline is
Speaker 2: just so convolutedly ridiculous, and again it's filled with arrests
Speaker 2: and non life threatening ongoing forever injuries by Becky Lynch
Speaker 2: and Ronda going quote rogue and calling out the business
Speaker 2: and trying to get attention by calling wrestling fake. Well,
Speaker 2: that gets you attention, but that's not good attention. Attention
Speaker 2: is good attention?
Speaker 3: No, no, it's not.
Speaker 2: That's what fools tell you. That's what fools tell you.
Speaker 2: So you know, if she's trying to create a buzz,
Speaker 2: will she created a buzz and also buried the rest
Speaker 2: of the roster for calling wrestling fake, you know, and
Speaker 2: WWE trying to create Becky version two point zero by
Speaker 2: having Charlotte go crazy and try to basically duplicate the
Speaker 2: success of Becky by having Charlotte turn into that dark
Speaker 2: character who just went that crazy on Ronda at Survivors Series.
Speaker 2: And it just was, I don't this whole build, And
Speaker 2: I know there's a couple of weeks ago, but why
Speaker 2: put the fans through this. I'm not following the logic.
Speaker 2: I know they have time to fill, but this could
Speaker 2: have been a very straightforward match. Straightforward is not always bad.
Speaker 2: Sometimes having too many people in the room with creative
Speaker 2: can create mayhem. You ever heard the analogy too many
Speaker 2: cooks in the kitchen. Well, I think that this is
Speaker 2: a victim of that. But I'm still looking forward to it,
Speaker 2: but I'm starting to get bored by it. And boy,
Speaker 2: has Becky Lynch cooled off? You?
Speaker 3: Guys?
Speaker 2: Listen to my last show, I gave you reasons why
Speaker 2: and reasons why I thought. I think and still believe
Speaker 2: that WWE is intentionally cooling off Becky Lynch. Yeah, intentionally, yes,
Speaker 2: I said intentionally. So again, guys, Tomorrow, Monday Night Raw
Speaker 2: should be very telling. We have a SmackDown Live that
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to as well with Kurdan in aj styles.
Speaker 2: And we are creeping closer and closer to WrestleMania, which
Speaker 2: is fourteen days away. Two weeks until WrestleMania. And of course,
