I mean, my first interaction 211 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:23.919 with him, we were shooting promos at center stage, and 212 00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.279 it was a two camera shoot and I had a 213 00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:26.840 wide shot. 214 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.159 It was him and I. 215 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.159 Think Jimmy Hart was his manager, and Jim Ross was 216 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.840 probably an interviewing him, and so I had the three 217 00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:42.480 shot of them and they jim goes to Jimmy to 218 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.720 do his promo, and I cut to a shot at 219 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.159 Jimmy and then all of a sudden, somebody screaming cut, cut, cut, 220 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.159 and then Hawk into the camera. 221 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:01.480 He said, you had never take the camera off the 222 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:06.080 Hulkster and you're never too close to see the pythons. 223 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.639 So after that, I used a one camera shoot, and 224 00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:17.840 you know, uh, and that was and that just that's 225 00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:22.000 how it was. And so it was not a it 226 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:28.000 was not a cordial working relationship, and uh, it was. 227 00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:29.240 His way or the highway. 228 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:33.360 And really what happened was he was tired of being 229 00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.559 the babyface. Uh And he wanted to be a heel, 230 00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.120 but he didn't want babyfaces to get over on him, 231 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.440 so everybody else had to be baby had to be heels, 232 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.639 So it. 233 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:45.200 Became just a heel fast. 234 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.399 And if you do not have the dramatic arc of 235 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.399 the babyface and the heel, the heel cheating to beat 236 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:56.120 the baby face over and over again until it's really 237 00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:59.720 important and the baby face still didn't cheat, and a 238 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.919 will to overcome the heel, then that's the morality play. 239 00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:06.440 And if you don't have a morality play, to me, 240 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.919 you don't have anything in the sport, because you've got 241 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.320 to tell the sport. The story is everything. The story 242 00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:20.879 is what gives the sport its power. So I didn't 243 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:25.480 think the story was uh was worth it?

That used to happen all the time, especially 561 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:55.359 when Summer Slam would happen like the I forget the 562 00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:58.640 if it was ninety three or ninety four, that was 563 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.839 the last Summer Slam happen on a Monday.

So many parts of the country and 573 00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:28.680 even other states went to school before the end of August. 574 00:28:28.680 --> 00:28:30.799 It was always after September to everyone I knew. 575 00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:35.440 But yeah, really, yeah, no, we always started.

For 582 00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:52.279 all the war memories I have, I never also forgot 583 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:54.400 the pit in my stomach when I realized how close 584 00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:56.559 to bedtime, like, there was nothing I could do after 585 00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.160 the show was over, I had to go straight to bed, 586 00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:01.920 and that that sucks, You know, that does suck. 587 00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:03.599 So all I want to do is go straight to 588 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:06.640 right during the show exactly.

It is just so goddamn funny what we need. 601 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:46.079 I mean that he can't. He just cannot get over 602 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.960 the fact like that something you know is he's such 603 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.359 a little bit exactly, and that's what we know. More like, 604 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:54.640 I'm like, I'm thinking myself, what do you what do 605 00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.079 you expect to happen? Like he says like he he 606 00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.839 didn't like and not only did he not like the 607 00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.640 fact that he was cut off, which I mean, dude, 608 00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.000 who cares, Honestly, it's it's right, like what the fuck? 609 00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:05.960 But also the fact that his match didn't go as 610 00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:08.680 well as he had hoped, Like, what did he fucking expect? 611 00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:12.720 Does he not know that? He is just like completely 612 00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:17.119 just not it's not appropriate for him to be in 613 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:17.759 the ring. 614 00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.200 And Guntherar did a fucking marvelous job exactly. 615 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:56.519 Fan Wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that knows the boys 616 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:26.119 need their candy. It's the lapsed fan. He's an lapsed 617 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:30.759 fan wrestling podcast with Jack and Carno and JP Sorrow. 618 00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:35.039 Now for him, it's all like for him, it's all 619 00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:37.599 He's one of those guys that isn't happy unless he 620 00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:40.000 feels like he forced WW to do something they didn't 621 00:31:40.039 --> 00:31:42.240 want to do on a power play. Hogan's that way too, 622 00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:45.200 like they don't feel like they actually won unless they 623 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:47.519 got a concession. I mean, he's getting huge money, but 624 00:31:47.599 --> 00:31:49.720 to him, like I bet he's got a chip on 625 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.640 his shoulder about being a WCW guy and all the 626 00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:53.799 bullshit with Triple H and Triple H making the calls 627 00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.039 probably somewhere sunk in the back of his mind. So 628 00:31:56.079 --> 00:31:58.319 he's going to interpret these little things that they would 629 00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:00.400 go out of their way to make special for a 630 00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.000 Rick Flair or an Undertaker that they deprived him of, 631 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:05.599 including much in the way of like notice. According to him, 632 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.039 they started talking in November about the final match, and 633 00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.519 all of a sudden it comes together and fucking warp speed. 634 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.440 After they shoot the Bad Blood angle, it comes together 635 00:32:13.480 --> 00:32:16.000 in warp speed because you know, frankly, and he wouldn't 636 00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.079 say this, but frankly, they just needed to fuck with 637 00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:20.759 aw and this was something they had that they could 638 00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.640 deploy on this particular night and get Atlanta put together. 639 00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:27.640 But yeah, I mean that's Wwewwe is a place that 640 00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.559 first and foremost makes sure that after they're done with you, you 641 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.200 look like a bitch for complaining. Like, yes, they get 642 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.839 it to Phil, They'll do it to anybody who thinks 643 00:32:36.880 --> 00:32:39.680 that they can match wits in the court of public opinion. 644 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:45.240 After they're out. You cannot because everybody, everybody basically thinks 645 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:47.720 you are what we just talked about, less than a 646 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:50.880 real star, less than a real celebrity, right, And you 647 00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:53.960 have absolutely no say in how you ought to be treated, 648 00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:57.440 and you ought to be absolutely grateful for whatever they 649 00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:00.240 decide is an appropriate framing and treatment of what you're 650 00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:02.759 gonna do next. There is no negotiation here. There is 651 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.920 only appreciation or you know, what a bitch and it's 652 00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:08.119 it's it's been marvelous to watch that it happen again, 653 00:33:08.440 --> 00:33:11.599 because so few guys, especially the newer crop, are able 654 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:13.599 to come out and say they'll they'll send pass aggressive 655 00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:16.960 tweets and stuff, and even then the hordes descend. But 656 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:19.400 Goldberg's a guy who you know, has gotten a lot 657 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:21.759 of money over the course of his life by being 658 00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.200 publicly cranky about things. It's worked for him, doesn't work 659 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:25.599 for everybody. 660 00:33:25.640 --> 00:33:26.519 Yes, because his. 661 00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.079 Phone will ring, not everybody's phone will ring after they 662 00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:33.319 talk shit, you know, tremendous. I hope everybody when they 663 00:33:33.400 --> 00:33:35.839 leave that company talks big shit about everything, because that's 664 00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:37.759 the only way we get the truth of these people. 665 00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:41.640 He's such a he just is so like I just 666 00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:44.960 love I mean, because the bottom line is it wouldn't matter. 667 00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:48.039 That's the thing that I love is that it wouldn't matter. 668 00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:50.039 It could have been the greatest fucking it could have 669 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:54.519 main invaded SummerSlam. He would have fucking found something about it. 670 00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:54.920 I love it. 671 00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.000 I mean, that's what we all, That's why we were 672 00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.880 all excited.

But he made a 675 00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:09.199 bet of WrestleMania, so he's all good, Yeah, okay, right, pathetic. 676 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.920 He'll he'll come around, He'll find that he uh come 677 00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:14.719 next WrestleMania. He'll be He'll be out there telling media like, 678 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.760 oh yeah, they tell me that that was a real WrestleMania. 679 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.880 And I argued for that, and I convinced myself of that. 680 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.400 But I'm staring down the barrel of forty four or whatever, 681 00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:25.920 and I'm starting to think that that that really wasn't 682 00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.719 what it was made up to. 683 00:34:26.719 --> 00:34:29.159 It chucked up to me, Well, now you know what, 684 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:30.920 Now he's going to win the main event of WrestleMania. 685 00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:33.000 Of course, what he wants is to win the Royal 686 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.760 Rumble and win the real Belt from like a Cody 687 00:34:36.480 --> 00:34:38.400 at WrestleMania in the last match of the night. That's 688 00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:41.239 all he means. That's all he was deprived of. I mean, 689 00:34:41.280 --> 00:34:43.480 there's no difference between what he did last year on 690 00:34:43.639 --> 00:34:45.800 Night one and what he did with Undertaker in New Jersey. 691 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:47.239 It was just if it was a two night or 692 00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:48.719 that would have been the Night one main event as well, 693 00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:50.920 in fact, the Undertaker match was much bigger, I think 694 00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:54.360 than the rains roll on Triple Threat. Yeah, break he 695 00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:54.880 knows that. 696 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:57.559 And the fact that he won't say it is it's 697 00:34:57.639 --> 00:34:59.679 kind of like, okay, well we lost Phil, you know, 698 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:01.800 we lost what was so much fun about film? 699 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:07.199 Yep, Yep.

Here's the because because you know, here's 701 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:13.119 the beauty of it. Okay, because because in this position, 702 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:20.280 Triple H is not afraid to lick an asshole. Okay, 703 00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:25.039 he is fine getting his tongue way up there to 704 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:30.360 clean out that fucking brown star. Okay, because yes, I 705 00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:32.239 get carried away most of them. Most of them got 706 00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:37.559 a w and frustration hurts to No, I'm kidding, but 707 00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:43.599 like certain people, I'll say, because because now he really 708 00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:46.599 can't talk shit about him, right, he really can't complain too, 709 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.840 Because exactly exactly. 710 00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:52.519 As soon as you think you stand on principle in 711 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.079 this business, they will rest. They will stop at nothing 712 00:35:55.159 --> 00:35:57.519 until they've managed to get you to compromise those principles. 713 00:35:57.519 --> 00:35:59.320 They will throw the amount of money at you. 714 00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:05.559 Yep. In a way, Paul is even more ruthless in 715 00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:08.159 this position with the way he's doing business because he's 716 00:36:08.239 --> 00:36:11.800 sneaky motherfucker.

And when you when you take 723 00:36:28.719 --> 00:36:31.239 the final assessment, you're like, wait a minute, that's that's 724 00:36:31.239 --> 00:36:32.840 probably even worse than what would have happened. 725 00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:34.679 If Vince was there.

Gene Okerlinn 736 00:36:57.280 --> 00:36:59.280 is at ringside as well. To kick things off. They've 737 00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:01.800 got the Purple clown knows on their microphones and Jane 738 00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:04.119 says it's something that finally has come to fruition. And 739 00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:06.840 in Orlando they are hanging from the rafters. So glad 740 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:08.360 Gene is there to say those things. 741 00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:12.519 It is nice to have Jean there, you know, kind of. 742 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.920 I mean, it's it's weird. It's weird that Jean's there. 743 00:37:16.280 --> 00:37:18.280 It's not his position ever, you. 744 00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.039 Know, it's always in the aisle, wait to get pitched 745 00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:25.039 tight exactly and ready to fucking you know, Hawk is fucking. 746 00:37:27.280 --> 00:37:28.119 Hotline, you know. 747 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.440 But of Spring ninety four ws WTV is an indication. 748 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:33.159 It's his intrepid reporting on the ground in Orlando that 749 00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:35.119 led to Hulkegan coming here in the first place. Of 750 00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:37.119 course he doesn't. He'd make sure to be there with 751 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.599 bells on. And he looks to he and he goes Bobby, heena, no, 752 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:41.679 you're not happy, and he says, I'm gonna be happy 753 00:37:41.679 --> 00:37:44.519 when Rick Flair gets his hand raised in victory and 754 00:37:44.599 --> 00:37:48.440 Hulkegan leaves Orlando with his hands and knees on his 755 00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:51.400 hands and knees and all the humanoids are going to 756 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:55.679 be saying loser, loser, loser. So Heenan absolutely understands this 757 00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:58.920 role here, absolutely just picks up where he left off. 758 00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:04.639 Something something that's always so when whenever w CW would 759 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.719 cut to the arena, you know, or have a wide 760 00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.000 shot of the inside of the arena, now, it always 761 00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:16.079 looked like there was something about the lights that made 762 00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:21.000 it so w CW. And I don't know why I think. 763 00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.079 They I don't think they arrange their lights differently on 764 00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:25.400 the rig. I think the lights I feel like in 765 00:38:25.519 --> 00:38:28.400 ww were visible on the hardcam you could see the 766 00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:32.039 actual rigging, whereas WWF put their camera below the lights. 767 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:33.360 Am I wrong about that? 768 00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:37.199 But well maybe maybe that could be it. That could 769 00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:40.840 be it. But I also don't know. I wonder if 770 00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:44.519 because like I always remember, they're like the you can 771 00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:48.639 always remember the colors of the lights, and well. 772 00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.480 They colored their w's WWF to't even color their lights really. 773 00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.480 Well, maybe that's what it is. Then, That's what I noticed, 774 00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:55.800 is the coloring of the lights, like because they they 775 00:38:55.800 --> 00:38:57.840 always had colors and it was always like it just 776 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:01.599 it that always meant w CW. It's fascinating. Yeah. 777 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.880 Probably probably was that they put the gels up there. 778 00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:05.920 I mean WWF color their lights, like if you had 779 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.280 like the owen Hart entrance with the projection on the 780 00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:09.880 mat or on the on the carpet. 781 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.800 Right, but not just right, not just to open the show. 782 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:16.320 They didn't have light right lights that because it didn't 783 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.880 look like the arena was any color per se. But 784 00:39:18.960 --> 00:39:21.280 they did have That's that's it. They did have like 785 00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.159 they had gels in the lights that made it streaking out, 786 00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:27.280 made the light cud. Yeah, the lights looked different, you know, 787 00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:28.880 it was always crazy. 788 00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.159 And they're you know their entrance ways too. I mean 789 00:39:31.199 --> 00:39:33.679 that was just w You knew your WCW when you 790 00:39:33.679 --> 00:39:36.280 saw the beach set or the cemetery, you know, it 791 00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:36.719 was great. 792 00:39:36.880 --> 00:39:37.880 Yeah, I love this. 793 00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:39.760 They had no respect for that, but that was also 794 00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:43.159 so core to the ww memory, Like people like don't 795 00:39:43.159 --> 00:39:48.519 even realize that that little extra like spark of creativity 796 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:50.119 on the on the on the sets made such a 797 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.679 difference and and made people remember w W so much 798 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.360 more fondly than they would if it wasn't like that. 799 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.719 Well, and just to be the fact that they that 800 00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:03.400 they weren't afraid to celebrate, you know, kind of the 801 00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:05.000 seasonal yeah thing. 802 00:40:05.480 --> 00:40:07.639 You know, life is about seasons, folks. I mean, I 803 00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.639 hate to tell you, I don't know how much, how 804 00:40:09.639 --> 00:40:11.400 many more times we got to prove this, but it's 805 00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:14.800 about is it the is it seasonally appropriate? Does it 806 00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:17.159 feel right to see this now? Because yes, we can 807 00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:19.800 see this at any time. Why now is one of 808 00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:21.320 the most important questions in this life. 809 00:40:21.360 --> 00:40:22.519 Why now? Yep? 810 00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:25.039 And that those little kind of details answer that question. 811 00:40:25.480 --> 00:40:27.440 Why not next month? Well, next month it's not going 812 00:40:27.440 --> 00:40:28.760 to be summer, is it, Or it's not going to 813 00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.519 be peak. 814 00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:31.320 So Jean's there. 815 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:33.159 That would be a cold day somewhere, he says about 816 00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:37.360 Flair beating Hogan, not an Orlando pal Right, no cold 817 00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:41.719 days there at all.

I mean, I think the only thing that 920 00:45:50.960 --> 00:45:53.079 we consider a pre show was the main event show 921 00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:55.639 on TBS earlier that Sunday. But they didn't do like 922 00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:57.800 one of those live from the arena thirty minute countdowns 923 00:45:57.840 --> 00:45:59.840 for this, which is crazy because it's fucking a whole 924 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:02.719 cod and like you would think TBS would well, especially 925 00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:04.639 because Turner Home Entertainment's getting paid in the back end. 926 00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:06.199 Just give them a half hour right before the pay 927 00:46:06.199 --> 00:46:08.760 per view on TBS, you fucking move units like crazy, 928 00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:12.159 But uh, they didn't for Hulk Cogan's debut. I mean, 929 00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:15.800 fucking all the executives are there. It's it's a no 930 00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:17.760 brainer to me. That was always so crazy to me, 931 00:46:17.840 --> 00:46:21.559 Like as important as WWF was to USA and as 932 00:46:21.599 --> 00:46:26.880 important as WWSTBSTNT, that the pay per views didn't get 933 00:46:26.920 --> 00:46:29.760 like pre shows on those channels, because that's so goddamn effective. 934 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:31.599 I know Sunday and the Heat became that, which is great, 935 00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:34.400 but that was I think more happenstance than anything because 936 00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:36.159 that happened to be a timeslot USA and wanted to 937 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.960 fill Sunday nights in that position. But man, I would 938 00:46:39.960 --> 00:46:42.119 just I would. That was if I was running things 939 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:44.840 in those companies. That's I'd fight hardest for that, honestly, 940 00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:49.199 because that's revenue. Like if you could put thirty minutes 941 00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:52.199 on the biggest cable networks in this country, live from 942 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.119 the arena, soaking up that energy, hitting hard the matches, 943 00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:58.440 big interviews, maybe an angle. God, you would sell so 944 00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.519 many more pay per views, but it's you know, probably 945 00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:02.880 a lot to ask these huge cable networks to set 946 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.800 aside that time once a month. But that's where it's at, 947 00:47:05.840 --> 00:47:08.000 that's where the action is. That's why UFC pay per views, 948 00:47:08.239 --> 00:47:10.480 the prelims are so important on ESPN and before that 949 00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:12.840 spike that's the ticket, man, that's how you do it, 950 00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:14.320 how you hook people in. They're like, I'm not gonna 951 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.960 watch this, I'll watch I'll watch the free prelims. I'll 952 00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:19.519 watch this free thing, and they fifty percent of the 953 00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:21.079 time they buy it. I swear to God, of course. 954 00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:25.360 So they go back to ringside first match for the 955 00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:27.599 TV title. They mentioned again Sting had been injured on 956 00:47:27.639 --> 00:47:29.800 the live w CB Center Night telecast in the hands 957 00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:33.239 of Sherry, and so they talk about how he won't 958 00:47:33.239 --> 00:47:35.920 be here. They show Hulk sitting a ringside that is 959 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.519 to say, the fake Hull, but they play a replay 960 00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:42.440 of the Saturday Night, Last weekend telecast and in that 961 00:47:42.440 --> 00:47:44.519 that's when Hulk first came to center stage and literally 962 00:47:44.519 --> 00:47:46.119 sat in a chair at ringside or a. Rick Flair 963 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:48.440 wrestled Sting and got involved in the end of sting 964 00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:50.840 turns Flair over in the figure four and then Sherry 965 00:47:51.320 --> 00:47:53.880 comes in, jumps the rail dressed as a fan, they say, 966 00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:56.480 and she slugs Randy Anderson and tosses him into Hulk. 967 00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.599 And where the fuck Doug Gillinger was during all this? 968 00:48:00.880 --> 00:48:03.199 Listen? Is that in the back eating a don'tnut. Clearly 969 00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:04.719 that's what he does best. 970 00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:06.920 And it's that involvement of that quote unquote fan that 971 00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:09.239 brings hult Cogan into a WCW ring in a lot 972 00:48:09.239 --> 00:48:10.239 of ways for the first time. 973 00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:13.239 I guess you know the clash too, but well, yeah, yeah, 974 00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.519 I'll say the clash he does. Get in there. It's 975 00:48:15.519 --> 00:48:15.800 in there. 976 00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.679 They pop with his red pants and does a delate 977 00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.119 atomic drop to Sherry and they talk about who is 978 00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:23.960 this guy? He's about one hundred fifty pounds trying to 979 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:26.559 identify Sherry dressed in drag, and Hulk does the you 980 00:48:26.840 --> 00:48:29.119 and she's got a Sherry a ridiculous wig on her. 981 00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.800 I mean it is in the mustache, the whole thing. 982 00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.920 It's just it is absolutely hilarious. It's one of her 983 00:48:34.920 --> 00:48:37.280 best outfits. Honestly becomes of ridiculousness. 984 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:41.800 Cherry is top ten. Oh, absolutely male or female as 985 00:48:41.840 --> 00:48:43.719 far as making it feel like it's supposed to feel. 986 00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:47.599 Yep, yep, listen. She she knows how to go out there, 987 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:51.719 and she's like Heenan. She's like Heenan in that she 988 00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.440 knows what she needs to do. She knows what the 989 00:48:54.440 --> 00:48:59.199 payoff is, and the payoff is her getting funny enough assaulted. 990 00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:01.920 But nobody thinks of it that way because she kind 991 00:49:01.920 --> 00:49:04.519 of because you know, I'm not saying I agree with 992 00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:07.000 this in real life, but in the world of wrestling, 993 00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.639 she earns getting an atomic drop. Yes, because she is 994 00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:14.360 so vicious and she is so violent, like not to 995 00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:18.320 spoil things, but like going up, you know, fast forwarding 996 00:49:18.320 --> 00:49:22.039 here when she when when when Flair does the cowardly 997 00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:28.440 thing of holding Sherry in front of him, she's fucking like. 998 00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:34.000 She's not like Elizabeth was. She's not like scared or nervous. 999 00:49:34.079 --> 00:49:38.239 She's like, come on, come on, sucker, that's it, come on, sucker, 1000 00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:43.239 Like that's she's laughing her boyfriend in public. Ye three times, exactly, 1001 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.400 know what I mean, no problem for doing nothing, for 1002 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:48.800 just being alive. She's slapping him amazing, all right. She 1003 00:49:48.840 --> 00:49:51.199 doesn't give a shit, and you know we can say 1004 00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:53.000 all we want about how we moved on from that 1005 00:49:53.239 --> 00:49:55.480 as a fan base and our appreciation for it, But 1006 00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:58.039 I ask you this question. When it came time to 1007 00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:00.760 signal that Adam Page was coming into all In with 1008 00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:03.559 an extra heightened level of intensity, what did he have 1009 00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.480 to do to get that across? He had to take 1010 00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:07.639 Marina Shaffir's head off with the buckshot Larryet. 1011 00:50:07.679 --> 00:50:09.760 That's what he had to do. And whenever he eat. 1012 00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:11.159 Moxley for the title, what did he have to do 1013 00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:12.840 to prove he meant business? He had to give her 1014 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:14.880 death valley Driver off the apron through a table and 1015 00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:17.559 it shattered in a million pieces. So, you know, and 1016 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.239 he's supposed to be the the the the the the 1017 00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:23.960 keeper of all that is, like you know, politically aligned 1018 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:29.000 and wrestling politically you know, calibrated, and uh, he's the 1019 00:50:29.039 --> 00:50:31.239 one absolutely destroying this woman. 1020 00:50:32.679 --> 00:50:35.440 It is. It is so funny, how you know you 1021 00:50:35.639 --> 00:50:39.199 just never thought twice Now when somebody hits sharing. 1022 00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:41.079 And and and him doing it again and getting huge pops 1023 00:50:41.079 --> 00:50:43.639 for it, reminds us why Because when you when you 1024 00:50:43.679 --> 00:50:46.559 make it forbidden fruit, it doesn't matter if the wrestling 1025 00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:49.960 fan tells themselves that they are too sophisticated to enjoy that, 1026 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.679 or they've evolved past that. All you do in wrestling 1027 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:55.599 when you say something is off limits is make people 1028 00:50:56.000 --> 00:50:57.960 want to see it so much more and make it 1029 00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:00.280 so much more impactful when you do it again. Happened 1030 00:51:00.280 --> 00:51:02.519 with chair shots to the head, it happened with pile drivers, 1031 00:51:02.519 --> 00:51:05.440 it happened with violence on women. Anything you think is taboo, 1032 00:51:05.480 --> 00:51:08.440 it's coming back because when Bush comes to show, these 1033 00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:10.199 guys show up at the building for a big pay 1034 00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:12.639 per view and they've got to go somewhere that hasn't 1035 00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:14.960 been gone in a while to make this one feel 1036 00:51:15.159 --> 00:51:17.360 different than the rest, and that's where they're going to go, 1037 00:51:17.440 --> 00:51:20.280 that third rail every single time. So with Hogan getting 1038 00:51:20.320 --> 00:51:25.039 in the ring, he does you to Elizabeth and Elizabeth 1039 00:51:25.159 --> 00:51:29.000 Sherry and she starts like peeling the goateee off her face, 1040 00:51:29.159 --> 00:51:32.400 and the announcers start to uh to put it together, 1041 00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:34.199 and they say, she's dressed like a man, and I'm 1042 00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:36.480 looking at those suspenders, I'm thinking she's dressed like irs. 1043 00:51:36.559 --> 00:51:37.360 That's what she's dressed. 1044 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:43.320 So Hold rips the shirt and lunges after her, and 1045 00:51:43.320 --> 00:51:45.599 then Rick has to chop lock the leg twice and 1046 00:51:45.639 --> 00:51:48.000 Heenan's cheering him on to attack the knee. Hul Cogan 1047 00:51:48.000 --> 00:51:50.480 break his leg, break it on live television. 1048 00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:53.679 Oh my god, that's fucking it's not even live television. 1049 00:51:53.719 --> 00:51:55.800 He's been waiting for. So it was that night that 1050 00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:59.360 was the calling one. Yeah, oh is that calling one 1051 00:51:59.480 --> 00:52:03.719 that they did? But he man, Heenan knew And we 1052 00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:06.480 say this all the time, abou nWo And we did 1053 00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:08.639 Batch to the Beach ninety six. We've got to say 1054 00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:09.360 it every time. 1055 00:52:10.079 --> 00:52:10.280 Yeah. 1056 00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:14.400 The arc of Heenan ultimately being right about Hulpe being 1057 00:52:14.440 --> 00:52:17.159 a bad guy, yes, and I mean not a good guy, 1058 00:52:17.239 --> 00:52:19.480 but like a piece of shit is like some of 1059 00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.679 the most fucking satisfying stuff I've ever seen. 1060 00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:26.199 It is It is, It is because it's it's a 1061 00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:29.079 it's a lifelong thing. It is all right, it is 1062 00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:34.039 a lifelong and that's what you know. It's and I've 1063 00:52:34.039 --> 00:52:36.000 said this before, it's it's kind of a thing that 1064 00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:40.119 I always really hoped. I thought that Jerry Lawler would 1065 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:43.559 have done the same thing in WWE with Brett Hart 1066 00:52:43.719 --> 00:52:48.679 and the Heart Foundation in ninety seven. Like it bothered 1067 00:52:48.719 --> 00:52:51.599 me that he liked them because they were heels like 1068 00:52:51.639 --> 00:52:54.679 to me, he's missed opportunity. Jerry Lawler, Jerly, it was 1069 00:52:54.719 --> 00:52:58.360 because Jerry Lawler should have hated them, because because he 1070 00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:01.639 hated Brett Hart so much, because that feud was so 1071 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:07.559 legendary for for just you know, for just so much animosity, 1072 00:53:07.679 --> 00:53:08.599 so much brutal. 1073 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:11.880 Great question, as Jerry, like, that's true. You're sitting in 1074 00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:15.079 that chair. You made your entire WWF career off saying 1075 00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:19.519 Brett's a piece of crap, and now he's shitting like America's. 1076 00:53:19.079 --> 00:53:22.639 Family, making fun of his family, making fun of everything, 1077 00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:25.960 and it just yeah, and even if you were. 1078 00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:27.840 A heel, people would be behind you standing up for 1079 00:53:27.840 --> 00:53:29.880 the United States. That would be a plausible reason for 1080 00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:32.400 you to change your tune as a heal announcer. Yeah, 1081 00:53:32.400 --> 00:53:34.519 what was there a discussion of that? Was there talk 1082 00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:38.559 about maybe actually should be pissed that Brett is doing this? 1083 00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:41.559 But no, it just it just felt it was such 1084 00:53:41.599 --> 00:53:43.920 a I was so let down that he It just 1085 00:53:43.920 --> 00:53:48.280 felt it felt cheap that he that he sided with 1086 00:53:48.480 --> 00:53:49.119 Brett Hart. 1087 00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:51.360 And everything we learned about Hogan, you know, as far 1088 00:53:51.360 --> 00:53:53.119 as like his personal life and what a mess it 1089 00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:55.400 is and the manipulations and his personal life and all 1090 00:53:55.440 --> 00:53:59.480 the lawsuits and gamesmanship and pr stunts and all that, Like, 1091 00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:02.239 it's so compelling to think about Bobby Heenen. It's being 1092 00:54:02.320 --> 00:54:05.000 right all along, even even when he was speaking through 1093 00:54:05.079 --> 00:54:08.320 k FA, like I don't care, because you know, it's 1094 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:10.679 very clear that Heenan had a great degree of admiration 1095 00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:12.320 for Hulk Cogan in real life and the things he 1096 00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:14.119 said in his book and shoot interviews and the such. 1097 00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:17.360 He understood that Hulk was the reason everybody who was 1098 00:54:17.400 --> 00:54:19.360 a millionaire in wrestling in the eighties and nineties was 1099 00:54:19.360 --> 00:54:23.760 a millionaire. But at the same time, what he had 1100 00:54:23.800 --> 00:54:25.639 to be coming from some place. I don't know if 1101 00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:27.840 he's channeling his hatred towards some other prima donna he 1102 00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.880 ran intoing wrestling, but he like nailed this guy in 1103 00:54:31.920 --> 00:54:34.840 the little things he'd point out where it's like it's 1104 00:54:34.920 --> 00:54:38.039 Ventura esque, Like why aren't we faulting him for doing 1105 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:40.760 something that we would fall any heel for doing, such 1106 00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:41.719 as attacking Sherry. 1107 00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:42.400 You know he would. 1108 00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.679 He had a fit about that tremendous stuff. And when 1109 00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:48.800 he ultimately is vindicated and he's at Bachel of the 1110 00:54:48.800 --> 00:54:52.880 Beach ninety six, almost he's not celebrating being right. He's 1111 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:54.559 sad that he was right. 1112 00:54:55.159 --> 00:54:56.440 Mmm mm hmm. 1113 00:54:56.719 --> 00:54:59.000 He gets very somber after the nWo angle, and he 1114 00:54:59.079 --> 00:55:02.719 essentially becomes a w CW Homer baby face announcer. Yep, yep, 1115 00:55:03.239 --> 00:55:06.719 so good. So it's great stuff, it's great and it 1116 00:55:06.760 --> 00:55:10.760 wasn't even by design, but I don't care. Heenan knew 1117 00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:12.519 where to go with it. That's my point. He knew 1118 00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:15.039 where to go with it. He didn't like to your point, 1119 00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:17.320 just say, ah, you see he pulled the wool over 1120 00:55:17.360 --> 00:55:19.800 all of you, and I think it's great. No, he said, 1121 00:55:19.920 --> 00:55:22.960 fuck you, like I'm still the heel announcer, but fuck you. 1122 00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:26.400 Yeah. So powerful he was. He was betrayed, you know, 1123 00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:28.159 and that's what made it so fucking money. 1124 00:55:28.159 --> 00:55:30.039 Mister t hops up on the apron and they're going 1125 00:55:30.079 --> 00:55:32.440 forward and flare Bales with Sherry. This is still on 1126 00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:34.480 Saturday Night. Jimmy Harts in there, Hulk has the white 1127 00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:36.920 belt off, ready to swing it. And that's uh a 1128 00:55:36.960 --> 00:55:38.840 little bit of an appetizer for what's to come. Johnny 1129 00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:40.599 be Bad will take the place if Sting, We're told, 1130 00:55:41.440 --> 00:55:43.000 But then they simply the maybe Sting might be in 1131 00:55:43.039 --> 00:55:44.440 the corner. We thought he might be in the corner 1132 00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.199 of Johnny be bad, but that won't be the case either. 1133 00:55:46.280 --> 00:55:49.480 Someone get this story from Sting because he'll know seriously, 1134 00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:50.960 he'll just say it was an injury, but it was more. 1135 00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:53.559 There's more here. I'm fascinated. He's got to be pissed 1136 00:55:53.559 --> 00:55:56.199 that Hulk's getting the treatment he's getting and that Sting 1137 00:55:56.360 --> 00:55:59.280 was immediately shoved to the side, and that unification match. 1138 00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:03.159 You know, dude, you know I don't listen get your 1139 00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:07.119 thunder Paradise.

I'm not gonna 1274 01:03:31.400 --> 01:03:36.480 notice that, especially since Hogan saved his ass a Clash 1275 01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:38.400 the champ.

Whenever I see Regal during this era, 1627 01:23:15.640 --> 01:23:19.960 I always think of his interview on Jericho's podcast from 1628 01:23:21.359 --> 01:23:24.439 years ago, maybe eight fucking ten years ago, I don't know. 1629 01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:28.520 He talks about how he would decide the style of 1630 01:23:28.600 --> 01:23:34.039 the match based on who was in the crowd. Wow, 1631 01:23:35.359 --> 01:23:37.479 you know, he'd look out in the crowd.

Regal grabs a front 1794 01:30:25.239 --> 01:30:27.239 face lock, but Bad snaps out with a hammer lock. 1795 01:30:27.399 --> 01:30:29.800 But Regal goes face first on the hammer lock, doesn't stand, 1796 01:30:29.920 --> 01:30:32.439 goes face first. That's how you selles clutching the shoulder 1797 01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:34.680 and takes a powder to get some advice from us. 1798 01:30:34.720 --> 01:30:38.680 Sir William Heenan says that you know what's the problem. 1799 01:30:38.680 --> 01:30:40.760 Why are they viewing him? Quarterbacks were into the sideline 1800 01:30:40.760 --> 01:30:42.279 all the time, and they cheer them for a smart 1801 01:30:42.319 --> 01:30:44.079 play when they do it. Here are the champion, the 1802 01:30:44.119 --> 01:30:47.279 television champion, takes a breather, has a legit ten count, 1803 01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:49.479 and all these humanoids boo them for that, and Tony 1804 01:30:49.560 --> 01:30:52.079 says they boo the quarterback depending on who he was 1805 01:30:52.159 --> 01:30:54.279 if he did that, and he then says nothing wrong 1806 01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:56.880 with disappearing here and there, give me. 1807 01:30:56.880 --> 01:31:30.640 A laptan wrestling podcast. The wrestling podcast that knows the 1808 01:31:30.720 --> 01:32:00.239 boys need their candy. It's the Lampsed Fan. He's an 1809 01:32:00.279 --> 01:32:02.680 a lapsed fan wrestling podcast. 1810 01:32:02.560 --> 01:32:03.159 With Jack and. 1811 01:32:06.000 --> 01:32:08.439 Yeah, and it says if he takes a walk, he'll 1812 01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:11.439 also I don't think anyone would boo I mean, name one. 1813 01:32:12.159 --> 01:32:13.960 The only the only way you'd boo it is if 1814 01:32:14.079 --> 01:32:16.520 they're playing your team right and you're and you're like 1815 01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:18.439 you're there, then you boom. But I don't think even 1816 01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:19.520 then people would boo for that. 1817 01:32:19.680 --> 01:32:22.119 I don't even think then it would really be I 1818 01:32:22.159 --> 01:32:24.479 don't think it's personal driven. It's more like the play 1819 01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:28.039 like you know, he he he, he did something that 1820 01:32:28.159 --> 01:32:30.239 was kind of cheap. You know, he didn't give the guy, 1821 01:32:30.479 --> 01:32:32.319 he didn't give him his team a chance to advance. 1822 01:32:32.359 --> 01:32:34.119 They're not gonna boo that though, They're just gonna like 1823 01:32:34.600 --> 01:32:37.800 they're going to decry it. But because you're not when 1824 01:32:37.840 --> 01:32:39.359 you run out of bounds, you're not going to boo 1825 01:32:39.479 --> 01:32:43.319 the guy because the team that did it is happy 1826 01:32:43.399 --> 01:32:45.239 that he did it because he stopped the clock and 1827 01:32:45.319 --> 01:32:47.439 the quarterback didn't get hurt out of tackle, and the 1828 01:32:47.479 --> 01:32:49.760 other team doesn't care because he instead of trying to 1829 01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:53.039 get extra five yards, he went out of bounce exactly. 1830 01:32:53.079 --> 01:32:55.720 I don't know who's mad about that, but anyway, Heena 1831 01:32:55.760 --> 01:32:57.920 asks if Steve Riegle takes a walk, he'll lose the title? 1832 01:32:57.960 --> 01:32:58.439 Will he? Then? 1833 01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:00.680 He then take a walk, as they explain, no, he 1834 01:33:00.680 --> 01:33:02.680 won't lose the title. Take a walk, That's what I do. 1835 01:33:03.039 --> 01:33:05.479 Take a walk to Tampa, he says. He gets back 1836 01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:07.680 in the corner, they go regal ship.

Regal tries to sup lexits block. 1997 01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:29.439 Bad goes to the wrist. Regal goes back to the 1998 01:40:29.479 --> 01:40:31.359 elbows and a head butt puts Bad on his seat. 1999 01:40:31.520 --> 01:40:33.960 To the middle rope. He does the dumple, jumping knees 2000 01:40:34.000 --> 01:40:36.119 and then a drop kick, and he slaps Marrow in 2001 01:40:36.159 --> 01:40:39.119 the face. Mary slaps him in the face with the dropkick. 2002 01:40:39.159 --> 01:40:41.920 Meryl fights back, though swinging to the gut. He drops 2003 01:40:42.000 --> 01:40:44.239 down on a fireman's carry and starts cranking on the arm. 2004 01:40:44.960 --> 01:40:47.000 That's very much like No Mercy Boss, where you grab 2005 01:40:47.039 --> 01:40:49.560 a submission out of the nowhere fireman's carry just because 2006 01:40:49.560 --> 01:40:52.439 the guy's hurt. You want to win, like you abandon 2007 01:40:52.680 --> 01:40:55.600 all You abandon all pretense of trying to make the 2008 01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:57.600 match look dramatic and realistic. You just go for the 2009 01:40:57.640 --> 01:41:01.720 submission out of nowhere with no psychology. Heenon calls out 2010 01:41:01.760 --> 01:41:04.319 Thunder and Paradise co star Chris Lemon, who's front row 2011 01:41:04.399 --> 01:41:06.680 looking super cool speaking of wrestling, is cool again? 2012 01:41:06.680 --> 01:41:09.159 Look at this guy?

He's next to 2020 01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:35.439 Linda Hogan. Indeed, so we start to notice Linda, and. 2021 01:41:35.800 --> 01:41:38.359 Oh, I know that was I could. I was like, 2022 01:41:38.520 --> 01:41:41.239 you start seeing the moment you see you see Chris Lemon, 2023 01:41:41.239 --> 01:41:43.720 and then all all of a sudden, you see Linda's there. 2024 01:41:44.199 --> 01:41:46.720 Then you see the kids, and then you're like, I 2025 01:41:46.840 --> 01:41:49.199 can't watch any I can't nott watch anything else.

Now 2031 01:41:59.239 --> 01:42:01.680 that we do know, to your exact point, we can't 2032 01:42:01.720 --> 01:42:05.039 see anything else. And she's overdressed and she's looking all, 2033 01:42:05.560 --> 01:42:07.119 oh yeah, she's missmissed America. 2034 01:42:07.239 --> 01:42:11.000 You know, come on, so you think this is it's 2035 01:42:11.039 --> 01:42:17.399 fucking come on. You know he's gonna win. Well, he 2036 01:42:17.479 --> 01:42:20.079 didn't tell you that he's gonna fucking go. He's going 2037 01:42:20.159 --> 01:42:24.479 over flair. Please knock it off. I'm not time for 2038 01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:24.880 the shit. 2039 01:42:26.560 --> 01:42:30.439 Linda Headen says, he's a real lemon. All right, he is, 2040 01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:33.119 isn't He don't look at me like that, he says 2041 01:42:33.159 --> 01:42:34.239 to Tony on the. 2042 01:42:34.399 --> 01:42:36.399 Well, he's not wrong. He's not a fake lemon, because 2043 01:42:36.399 --> 01:42:39.439 he definitely is. He's Jack lemon Son. He's a real lemon. 2044 01:42:40.319 --> 01:42:42.520 Regal tucks in a wild head kick to the side 2045 01:42:42.520 --> 01:42:44.720 of the head to break free and back to the 2046 01:42:44.760 --> 01:42:47.840 European uppercuts. Now corner to corner. Irish whip by Johnny 2047 01:42:47.840 --> 01:42:50.119 b Bad is reversed and Regal puts the brakes on 2048 01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:52.880 and turns around into a big drop kick for the 2049 01:42:53.000 --> 01:42:55.319 count of two. Whip is reversed Bad with the tilt 2050 01:42:55.359 --> 01:42:57.479 to whirl head scissors that he used to do, and man, 2051 01:42:57.560 --> 01:42:59.279 did Regal know how to front flip and tuck that 2052 01:42:59.359 --> 01:43:02.079 head at the very last second. Yes, indeed heel out 2053 01:43:02.119 --> 01:43:05.119 of the corner to that point. As Regal again gets 2054 01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:07.439 to tuck at the last second, Irish whip at a backdrop. 2055 01:43:07.520 --> 01:43:09.600 Regal goes up and over. Johnny be Bad is cooking 2056 01:43:09.640 --> 01:43:11.319 here and he signals he's gonna hit the big left 2057 01:43:11.640 --> 01:43:13.720 and he drops Regal with it, and Regal rolls to 2058 01:43:13.760 --> 01:43:16.199 the floor to prevent being pinned, and Bad goes out 2059 01:43:16.199 --> 01:43:18.159 after him and takes out both he and Sir William 2060 01:43:18.199 --> 01:43:21.399 with a piscado dive to a big pop. Bad hits 2061 01:43:21.439 --> 01:43:23.399 a shoulder from the apron comes outside in with the 2062 01:43:23.439 --> 01:43:26.680 sunset flip, and at this point, Sir William lifts up 2063 01:43:26.720 --> 01:43:29.079 his umbrella that he brings to the ring and Regal 2064 01:43:29.119 --> 01:43:31.399 grabs the umbrella to prevent being pulled down in the 2065 01:43:31.439 --> 01:43:34.359 sunset flip, and then Nick Patrick sees this and kicks 2066 01:43:34.399 --> 01:43:37.199 the umbrella out of their hands. This causes Regal to 2067 01:43:37.239 --> 01:43:39.399 fall down for a two count, and then Regal kind 2068 01:43:39.439 --> 01:43:43.079 of flips back over and ties up and shoots on Marrow, 2069 01:43:43.079 --> 01:43:45.279 puts him on his back, stacks him up for the one, 2070 01:43:45.520 --> 01:43:50.039 the two, and the three. So Regal pulls the rug out. 2071 01:43:49.960 --> 01:43:50.399 From under that. 2072 01:43:51.520 --> 01:43:51.880 That was. 2073 01:43:54.760 --> 01:43:57.039 Kind of a I kind of dug that that finish, 2074 01:43:57.159 --> 01:44:00.720 that Regal power out of it. Yeah really, but yeah, 2075 01:44:01.680 --> 01:44:05.359 that it wasn't just kind of like a slick wrestling, 2076 01:44:05.800 --> 01:44:09.359 you know, reversal or whatever roll through. But the fact 2077 01:44:09.399 --> 01:44:12.720 that he he fucking powered out of it and stacked 2078 01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:14.279 the motherfucker and then held his tights. 2079 01:44:14.319 --> 01:44:18.319 Yep, yep, yeah, he didn't. He didn't wilt. He just 2080 01:44:18.399 --> 01:44:20.520 went for it, you know. He he didn't chicking his 2081 01:44:20.680 --> 01:44:22.520 way out of it. He just saw an opportunity and 2082 01:44:22.560 --> 01:44:25.520 took it. Ten minutes, forty seconds. Lord Stephen Regal retains 2083 01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:28.800 the WCW World Television Championship defeating Johnny B. Bad in 2084 01:44:28.840 --> 01:44:31.560 the opening contest at Bash of the Beach nineteen ninety four. 2085 01:44:31.640 --> 01:44:33.319 Crowd kind of flat for the finish because it did 2086 01:44:33.399 --> 01:44:36.439 look kind of it did look kind of goofy, a 2087 01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:38.479 little sloppy a little bit, you know, it was kind 2088 01:44:38.479 --> 01:44:40.520 of like forced almost like they intended it for it 2089 01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:42.600 to be smoother, just because it wasn't smooth. It doesn't 2090 01:44:42.640 --> 01:44:44.079 mean it didn't look good, but I feel like the 2091 01:44:44.119 --> 01:44:46.359 crowd was kind of like they struggle to get Regal 2092 01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:48.159 in the right position there. William gets up in the apron, 2093 01:44:48.199 --> 01:44:50.439 bad Sling shots him in backdrop for Bill Dundee, and 2094 01:44:50.439 --> 01:44:52.840 he SCRAMs to give the crowd something to be happy about, 2095 01:44:53.199 --> 01:44:56.079 and Johnny b Bad stomps on that perverted little hat 2096 01:44:56.119 --> 01:44:59.359 that build Unto used to wear in a fun beach 2097 01:44:59.399 --> 01:45:02.399 ball multi that sweeps across the screen on the lookplay. 2098 01:45:02.399 --> 01:45:05.760 It's a fun wipe. Marrow strangely refuses to release his 2099 01:45:05.840 --> 01:45:08.039 grip as Regal is trying to backflip out of a sunset. 2100 01:45:08.199 --> 01:45:10.079 That was the thing about the finish that was really 2101 01:45:10.159 --> 01:45:13.359 kind of weird. You know, you had a situation where 2102 01:45:13.359 --> 01:45:15.640 if Merrow just kind of let go and stop fighting 2103 01:45:15.760 --> 01:45:17.840 so much for the sunset flip, it wouldn't have allowed 2104 01:45:17.880 --> 01:45:20.319 Real to do this to him. But that's minor details. 2105 01:45:20.520 --> 01:45:22.319 The grounds crew is out trying to clean up all 2106 01:45:22.399 --> 01:45:25.039 of that glitter. Tony Shivanni notes and a ringside. Tony 2107 01:45:25.079 --> 01:45:26.680 and Bobby are trying to kill some time, it seems. 2108 01:45:26.760 --> 01:45:29.560 Bobby says he has to check on something concerning later 2109 01:45:29.600 --> 01:45:32.439 tonight as you know Bobby always receiving information from his 2110 01:45:32.520 --> 01:45:35.600 quote unquote sources backstage, being the broadcast journalist. 2111 01:45:35.640 --> 01:45:39.640 All listen, he's very, very very involved, like he needs 2112 01:45:39.840 --> 01:45:41.760 he listen, he needs information. 2113 01:45:41.680 --> 01:45:43.680 And Heena knows he's got a scram And Tony says, well, 2114 01:45:43.720 --> 01:45:45.520 stay with me for a few minutes. As it becomes 2115 01:45:45.560 --> 01:45:47.079 clear that he didn't kind of jump the gun on 2116 01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:51.840 that piece, Tony mentions Chris Lemon and other dignitaries. Chris 2117 01:45:51.920 --> 01:45:54.000 Lemon and other dignitaries. There's a phrase it's never been 2118 01:45:54.079 --> 01:45:57.920 uttered before. Yeah, and nor shall it ever, He said again. 2119 01:45:58.279 --> 01:46:00.159 The please Hogan look a lot guy is right over 2120 01:46:00.239 --> 01:46:02.319 Tony's shoulder, as he would be for just about every 2121 01:46:02.399 --> 01:46:05.119 Red and Yellow Holk Cogan match. In WCW Tony talks 2122 01:46:05.119 --> 01:46:08.039 about Hogan being on readising Kathy Lee and he and 2123 01:46:08.079 --> 01:46:11.159 and s Hiss Flair doesn't have to beat him. Hogan's 2124 01:46:11.199 --> 01:46:14.479 been running five miles a day, George Forman training him. 2125 01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:15.279 He hopes it works. 2126 01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:20.600 It does have to beat him, Maybe that's what I 2127 01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:24.279 meant to say, so w CWS Elson negotiating the ward 2128 01:46:24.319 --> 01:46:26.399 in The Observer was to even have Mike Tyson be 2129 01:46:26.479 --> 01:46:28.359 involved in some of the training vignettes for Hulk Cogan. 2130 01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:31.279 Bischoff flat out denied that. But he's been kind of 2131 01:46:31.560 --> 01:46:34.800 weird about his talks with Tyson. I think he's kind 2132 01:46:34.840 --> 01:46:38.239 of sensitive about the fact that they could have preempted 2133 01:46:38.359 --> 01:46:40.479 WWF getting Tyson in ninety eight because they were in 2134 01:46:40.560 --> 01:46:41.079 talks with him. 2135 01:46:41.760 --> 01:46:42.199 So I don't know. 2136 01:46:42.199 --> 01:46:44.079 I feel like he's got like a default position of 2137 01:46:44.119 --> 01:46:46.000 acting like he never talked to Mike Tyson in his life. 2138 01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:48.239 I'm sure he can find sound of him saying he did, 2139 01:46:48.359 --> 01:46:51.039 but I always wonder about that. But of course Iron 2140 01:46:51.079 --> 01:46:52.439 Mike was I think in prison at the time, so 2141 01:46:52.479 --> 01:46:55.520 that would have been a little bit difficult. I think 2142 01:46:56.079 --> 01:46:58.399 the observer sin in permission in exchange for permission to 2143 01:46:58.399 --> 01:47:00.159 film Tyson w w's offer to air the bet ash 2144 01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:02.079 at the beach for free throughout the prison. That would 2145 01:47:02.079 --> 01:47:02.760 be something to see. 2146 01:47:05.880 --> 01:47:06.399 That's funny. 2147 01:47:06.920 --> 01:47:08.760 Tony says he'll be joined by Jesse the buddy Ventori 2148 01:47:08.800 --> 01:47:10.439 here in a few minutes. As he Heenan waves his 2149 01:47:10.560 --> 01:47:12.119 arm and checks his watch because he's got a lot 2150 01:47:12.199 --> 01:47:13.960 going on and he wants the thing to move along. 2151 01:47:14.520 --> 01:47:16.319 There's a woman in the ring with Gene introduced for you, 2152 01:47:17.039 --> 01:47:22.119 ladies and gentlemen, currently Japan's premieer superstar, but also a 2153 01:47:22.199 --> 01:47:26.239 tremendous human being elected recently by a popular vote to 2154 01:47:26.319 --> 01:47:29.039 the House of Counselors, the equivalent of a senator. Please 2155 01:47:29.079 --> 01:47:32.319 welcome the great Antonio Andoki and he comes out to 2156 01:47:32.439 --> 01:47:35.000 a minor pop and a full tuxedo. This is Gene 2157 01:47:35.000 --> 01:47:38.000 Oakland in the ring here and here with the dignitaries 2158 01:47:38.000 --> 01:47:40.680 from a Plan Japan also muscacai eto. Gina says, can 2159 01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:43.000 we get a translation for this for all of us 2160 01:47:43.000 --> 01:47:46.119 at WCW. We want to present to Antonio and Oke 2161 01:47:46.199 --> 01:47:49.680 on July seventeenth, nineteen ninety four, recognition of your tremendous contributions. 2162 01:47:49.920 --> 01:47:54.079 This blaque standing ovation for Antonio Andok is called for. 2163 01:47:54.520 --> 01:47:55.960 He gets a kiss from the woman in the ring. 2164 01:47:56.079 --> 01:48:00.199 Flowers are exchanged, and this was all part of a 2165 01:48:00.319 --> 01:48:01.800 no he's trying to find like an opponent for a 2166 01:48:01.960 --> 01:48:05.359 WSW you know, Japan crossover thing. Regal was kind of 2167 01:48:05.720 --> 01:48:07.319 thought to be someone that would plug in nicely to 2168 01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:10.640 Japan as a working heel, and as mentioned, Bischoff really 2169 01:48:10.720 --> 01:48:13.119 tried to restart the New Japan relationship through Brad Ringgins 2170 01:48:13.399 --> 01:48:16.640 after it kind of collapsed under Bill Watts. So Brigel 2171 01:48:16.720 --> 01:48:18.880 comes back in. They're kind of shooting this for Japanese 2172 01:48:18.920 --> 01:48:22.560 television as much as they are for American television, and 2173 01:48:22.680 --> 01:48:24.000 he gets to the microphone. He says, am I led 2174 01:48:24.039 --> 01:48:25.840 to believe that this man from overseas is receiving a 2175 01:48:25.880 --> 01:48:29.479 plaque for being an honorable wrestler. What a noble Englishman 2176 01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:32.840 like myself, elected to the House of Lords and who 2177 01:48:32.840 --> 01:48:34.840 has beat everyone you have to offer does not get 2178 01:48:34.840 --> 01:48:35.199 an award? 2179 01:48:35.239 --> 01:48:36.039 Am I to believe? Right? 2180 01:48:36.600 --> 01:48:38.199 I put an end to a legend in this country? 2181 01:48:38.279 --> 01:48:40.239 Now you have to fly in suppose the legends. I 2182 01:48:40.359 --> 01:48:42.319 just came back from Tokyo, where I beat the greatest. 2183 01:48:42.359 --> 01:48:44.960 I didn't see this man anywhere to be found Antonio 2184 01:48:45.279 --> 01:48:47.199 the whole time. Antonio and ok, he's given him that money, 2185 01:48:47.279 --> 01:48:50.399 like dead serious, up and downstair, Like he doesn't understand 2186 01:48:50.439 --> 01:48:52.359 every word he's saying, but he understands enough to know 2187 01:48:52.520 --> 01:48:56.079 that he's asking for an ass kicking. Regal says, beating 2188 01:48:56.119 --> 01:48:58.439 Ali and Andre doesn't wear with me. I am far 2189 01:48:58.560 --> 01:49:01.079 superior to you, and it's a bloody job you're retired 2190 01:49:01.119 --> 01:49:03.760 right now. Otherwise I'd give you a lesson like I 2191 01:49:03.840 --> 01:49:07.479 did everybody else. And then Antonioki starts like marching him 2192 01:49:07.520 --> 01:49:09.119 around the ring and says something into the mic. You 2193 01:49:09.159 --> 01:49:11.520 can't really make out what he says, something about wrestling, 2194 01:49:13.199 --> 01:49:16.560 and yeah, it takes off the coat. They pop when 2195 01:49:16.600 --> 01:49:19.239 he takes off the coat. He has those instincts, I'll 2196 01:49:19.279 --> 01:49:21.760 give him that, and they're popping and calling out and 2197 01:49:22.199 --> 01:49:23.479 the woman's laughing and smiling. 2198 01:49:23.800 --> 01:49:30.119 That that is listen my experience when whenever a wrestler 2199 01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:33.520 from Japan is taking off a coat, you get the 2200 01:49:33.560 --> 01:49:37.560 fuck out of that, right, absolutely, that's what happened with Kobashi. 2201 01:49:37.760 --> 01:49:40.439 Took off that fucking coat and oh yes, mark my 2202 01:49:40.520 --> 01:49:41.159 fucking check. 2203 01:49:41.199 --> 01:49:44.159 On YouTube still lives on YouTube. So Regal bounces, you 2204 01:49:44.239 --> 01:49:46.039 were lucky. He says, I'm sick of these so called 2205 01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:48.560 bloody legends, and Regal even steps to a fan who 2206 01:49:48.600 --> 01:49:50.760 hit him in the aisleway. Doug Dilander, of course, Johnny 2207 01:49:50.800 --> 01:49:54.119 on the spot. Now Tony's with Jesse Ventura. Turn around, Jess, 2208 01:49:54.159 --> 01:49:59.079 you're on camera. Oh you talk about checked out? My 2209 01:49:59.399 --> 01:50:00.840 second he heard at Hogan's coming in. 2210 01:50:00.960 --> 01:50:05.720 He is done. He is just you can tell on 2211 01:50:05.880 --> 01:50:08.880 his face. He is just like, Hey, can I get 2212 01:50:08.920 --> 01:50:12.359 the fuck out of here playing Hey, hey, hey, I 2213 01:50:12.399 --> 01:50:14.159 don't want to be here anymore Shavanni. 2214 01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:21.359 Jesse hated Hogan, hated Hogan, hated the fact that we 2215 01:50:21.640 --> 01:50:25.800 hired Hogan and being the primited, down a little bitch 2216 01:50:25.880 --> 01:50:26.359 that he was. 2217 01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:29.119 You know, the fact that there was so much focus 2218 01:50:29.279 --> 01:50:33.159 on hul Cogan and no more focus on Jesse Ventura. 2219 01:50:33.800 --> 01:50:37.479 You know, he got his undies all wound up, but 2220 01:50:37.600 --> 01:50:39.960 he and he couldn't hide it, you know, he just 2221 01:50:40.239 --> 01:50:44.960 couldn't pretend he wasn't pissed off. And that's exactly what 2222 01:50:45.159 --> 01:50:48.359 you saw there. I mean is he was at his 2223 01:50:48.560 --> 01:50:51.800 unprofessional best. In my opinion at that point. It was, 2224 01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:54.560 like I said, it was as unprofessional I think as 2225 01:50:54.640 --> 01:50:56.880 one could be, you know, And it's easy for a 2226 01:50:56.920 --> 01:51:00.800 guy like like Jesse Venturer, not Jesse particular, but for 2227 01:51:00.960 --> 01:51:04.239 someone like him who's playing a heel and is trying 2228 01:51:04.279 --> 01:51:06.960 to do what everybody doesn't think they're going to do 2229 01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:10.279 and say what people don't expect them to say. I 2230 01:51:10.439 --> 01:51:14.199 get all that horseshit, but yeah, to leave Tony hanging 2231 01:51:14.239 --> 01:51:16.399 out on a ledge like that because you've got a 2232 01:51:16.720 --> 01:51:19.720 you know, particular acts to grind because the focus isn't 2233 01:51:19.760 --> 01:51:22.159 on you as a talent, and the focus is on 2234 01:51:22.239 --> 01:51:24.880 a guy who you personally don't like for whatever reason, 2235 01:51:25.479 --> 01:51:29.880 is so immature and unprofessional. And I'm literally I haven't 2236 01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:33.600 watched Jesse in so long I can't remember the last time. 2237 01:51:33.680 --> 01:51:35.760 And when I saw that this morning, I went, cat, 2238 01:51:37.079 --> 01:51:38.640 I'm really glad I fired him. 2239 01:51:40.279 --> 01:51:43.960 What a bishop's been a rants Honestly, I can say, geez. 2240 01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:45.960 Maybe part of the reason Jesse was cranky was because 2241 01:51:45.960 --> 01:51:48.520 he had just found out in the deposition, well, it 2242 01:51:48.560 --> 01:51:51.359 had just wrapped up the case he filed against WWF 2243 01:51:51.399 --> 01:51:53.640 over collising and video likeness rights, and it was in 2244 01:51:53.680 --> 01:51:56.439 deposition for that lawsuit that he found out that Vince 2245 01:51:56.520 --> 01:51:59.000 undersworn Oath said that Hulk Hogan was the one who 2246 01:51:59.119 --> 01:52:01.960 rated out Jesse's attempt to unionize the locker room before 2247 01:52:01.960 --> 01:52:04.319 Wrestling two, so that might have had just a little 2248 01:52:04.359 --> 01:52:06.319 something to do with it. And Jesse had just closed 2249 01:52:06.319 --> 01:52:09.479 the deal to settle for high six figures with WWF 2250 01:52:10.399 --> 01:52:12.600 because they didn't pay him as they should have for 2251 01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:15.479 his appearances on Colosseum Home video, all the while paying 2252 01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:17.359 people like Hogan and some others who they swear weren't 2253 01:52:17.359 --> 01:52:21.399 getting royalties or royalty streams, So that was part of 2254 01:52:21.479 --> 01:52:24.640 why I'm sure Jesse wasn't necessarily interested interfacing with the Hulkster. 2255 01:52:24.920 --> 01:52:26.439 A lot of what Eric said, just to be clear, 2256 01:52:26.520 --> 01:52:28.600 there was couched in what happens much later on the 2257 01:52:28.640 --> 01:52:31.680 broadcast where Jesse is asked directly by Tony Shavanni in 2258 01:52:31.720 --> 01:52:33.720 a clear attempt to kill time who he predicts in 2259 01:52:33.760 --> 01:52:36.479 the Rick Flair Hulk Cogan match, and Jesse, instead of 2260 01:52:36.520 --> 01:52:41.640 saying anything, just says, I already gave my prediction and 2261 01:52:41.800 --> 01:52:47.119 absolutely leaves Tony hanging and have to kill yes, doesn't 2262 01:52:47.279 --> 01:52:50.279 want to say it. And in fact, in Jesse's defense, 2263 01:52:50.279 --> 01:52:52.399 he had made his prediction on WCB television and this 2264 01:52:52.520 --> 01:52:53.560 is what that sounded. 2265 01:52:54.119 --> 01:52:56.560 Totally, And they'll get their shot, as you said, Tony, 2266 01:52:56.600 --> 01:52:57.920 it's just hours away. 2267 01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:00.439 And the big question is can. 2268 01:53:00.479 --> 01:53:01.520 Hulk Hogan do it? 2269 01:53:01.680 --> 01:53:05.119 Can Hulk Hogan come out of hiatus, out of being 2270 01:53:05.159 --> 01:53:08.760 out of wrestling now for what almost a year, can 2271 01:53:08.880 --> 01:53:12.760 he comes nature Boy Rick Blair and become first time 2272 01:53:12.840 --> 01:53:18.199 ever WCW World Heavyweight Champion, or as I predict, will 2273 01:53:18.279 --> 01:53:21.399 the nature Boy prevail? Because it's my opinion, Nature Boy 2274 01:53:21.479 --> 01:53:23.800 Rick Flair's on top of his game. He's like a 2275 01:53:23.920 --> 01:53:27.239 precision piece of machinery right now. And Hogan is going 2276 01:53:27.319 --> 01:53:30.000 into this match with literally no warm up match. 2277 01:53:30.119 --> 01:53:32.439 Well, you're right, he's gonna have mister Key in his corner. 2278 01:53:32.760 --> 01:53:36.079 He has been training with George Foreman Shaquille O'Neil. Tonight 2279 01:53:36.119 --> 01:53:38.600 will present the built to the champion, be it either 2280 01:53:38.680 --> 01:53:39.359 Flair Hogan. 2281 01:53:39.920 --> 01:53:41.159 It is going to be exciting. 2282 01:53:41.319 --> 01:53:42.279 It is going to be to night. 2283 01:53:42.399 --> 01:53:44.880 And we still in this program have comments from Hulk 2284 01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:46.600 Hogan here on the main event. 2285 01:53:46.840 --> 01:53:49.880 I just hope Shaquille O'Neil doesn't bother me too much there. 2286 01:53:49.920 --> 01:53:52.079 The guys put the word out his greatest desire in 2287 01:53:52.199 --> 01:53:55.720 history is to get an autograph from me. I've got 2288 01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:56.920 things to do tonight. 2289 01:53:58.159 --> 01:54:00.319 He would lother get an autograph from you the win 2290 01:54:00.359 --> 01:54:01.760 the scoring title in the NBA. 2291 01:54:01.920 --> 01:54:05.159 You think I would say they as, wouldn't you? I 2292 01:54:05.239 --> 01:54:08.880 know you'd say, yeah, well there you go, And where 2293 01:54:08.880 --> 01:54:11.880 would you ask me? If you already know what the 2294 01:54:11.960 --> 01:54:12.680 answer will be. 2295 01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:16.600 I'm in a reposition you go to work with. 2296 01:54:17.560 --> 01:54:20.840 Oh my god, what happened? A w c W was 2297 01:54:21.600 --> 01:54:24.439 brought Hogan in and that stuff. The end for me. 2298 01:54:24.560 --> 01:54:29.159 Hogan wanted me gone, and it was and my contract 2299 01:54:29.199 --> 01:54:31.640 had about six months to go on it when they 2300 01:54:31.720 --> 01:54:35.079 brought in Hogan, and I was never called back. So 2301 01:54:35.399 --> 01:54:37.239 for six months I just sat at home and they 2302 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:37.680 paid me. 2303 01:54:38.359 --> 01:54:39.720 Why did he want want you gone? 2304 01:54:39.800 --> 01:54:43.520 I mean because Hogan wanted to control and he knew 2305 01:54:43.520 --> 01:54:47.560 he couldn't control Jesse Ventura. And he knows that I'll 2306 01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:52.079 say anything on the micah and and and I didn't 2307 01:54:52.119 --> 01:54:54.399 even know they were bringing him in, and I badmlfed 2308 01:54:54.439 --> 01:54:58.319 him and they never didn't tell me that. Bischoff didn't 2309 01:54:58.319 --> 01:55:01.439 tell me he was bringing him in. And so right there, 2310 01:55:01.560 --> 01:55:04.359 Bishop's loyalty was to Hogan because he managed gets an 2311 01:55:04.359 --> 01:55:08.439 angle and when he left Vince and that cut me loose, 2312 01:55:08.760 --> 01:55:11.439 even though I helped Bishof get to the position of power. 2313 01:55:11.760 --> 01:55:13.279 Bishop's a little backstabber. 2314 01:55:15.159 --> 01:55:19.640 A little backstabber's that's what you get when you get 2315 01:55:19.640 --> 01:55:22.399 a guy who was never satisfied with what wrestling gives him. 2316 01:55:22.439 --> 01:55:25.880 Right there, money in absolutely that's with a wrestling ink there. 2317 01:55:25.920 --> 01:55:30.039 Jesse Ventura speaking not too long ago about the ww 2318 01:55:30.199 --> 01:55:32.960 row Cogan wanted to hold. Cogan wanted to control Jesse. 2319 01:55:33.079 --> 01:55:36.600 The body Ventura and you can control Jesse the body Ventura. 2320 01:55:36.840 --> 01:55:37.640 H I don't blame Hogan. 2321 01:55:37.800 --> 01:55:39.880 Not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. 2322 01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:41.479 The things he would have said on the mic after 2323 01:55:41.640 --> 01:55:46.640 that fucking core fiasco about Hogan Hogan would have been 2324 01:55:46.760 --> 01:55:49.800 the fucking painted is the biggest crook in the world. 2325 01:55:50.159 --> 01:55:52.960 For any little misstep he man in that ring, Jesse 2326 01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:55.640 would have gone off the handle about him clotheslining. Sherry 2327 01:55:55.720 --> 01:55:58.359 would never heard the end of the last thing you'd 2328 01:55:58.399 --> 01:56:00.399 hear at Past to the Beach. Instead of this big 2329 01:56:00.479 --> 01:56:03.520 celebration of Hogan's crowning in his first match, would be 2330 01:56:03.600 --> 01:56:07.000 Jesse's screaming about Sherry the whole time. You can imagine it. 2331 01:56:08.840 --> 01:56:09.039 I do. 2332 01:56:09.239 --> 01:56:11.399 I am kind of bummed that, uh, it would have 2333 01:56:11.399 --> 01:56:13.800 been great that he didn't Well, I'm bummed that he 2334 01:56:14.000 --> 01:56:16.479 wasn't on commentary for this too. That's it. 2335 01:56:16.600 --> 01:56:19.039 That's just it too, that we never got I'm bummed 2336 01:56:19.079 --> 01:56:22.560 that we didn't get Jesse even tourer commenting one Hull 2337 01:56:22.640 --> 01:56:25.079 Cogan WCW match. I would have loved to hear what 2338 01:56:25.159 --> 01:56:27.399 you want to come up with h You imagine if 2339 01:56:27.439 --> 01:56:29.680 they worked it out and Jesse was in the Nitro booth. 2340 01:56:30.840 --> 01:56:33.760 Oh my god, that's something you never think about. That 2341 01:56:33.840 --> 01:56:40.279 would have been unbelievable. Imagine that sitting here picturing it. 2342 01:56:40.279 --> 01:56:42.239 I'm picturing Jesse in the in the seat instead of 2343 01:56:42.279 --> 01:56:44.680 heen And at Bash of the Beach ninety six. Yep, 2344 01:56:45.439 --> 01:56:47.239 it would have been better, but it would have been different, 2345 01:56:47.319 --> 01:56:48.279 in a fascinating been. 2346 01:56:49.239 --> 01:56:52.239 It would have been. Hey, I told you all the time, 2347 01:56:52.640 --> 01:56:56.239 I'm not surprised at all. I'm not surprised. Look at 2348 01:56:56.239 --> 01:56:58.399 this whole Cogan coming out to save the day. Huh, 2349 01:56:58.720 --> 01:57:01.920 look at this. He turned just back on everybody. Big hero. 2350 01:57:02.239 --> 01:57:05.720 That's what he does, big hero, Big hero.

And he faces Ray Trailer, 2461 02:04:28.000 --> 02:04:31.159 the Guardian angel here, not the one, oh fuck, not 2462 02:04:31.239 --> 02:04:35.359 the running for a mayor of New York City, but 2463 02:04:36.039 --> 02:04:39.439 in fact, Ray Trailer for Vader. This says it all 2464 02:04:40.359 --> 02:04:42.720 that he's as soon as home comes in. Here he 2465 02:04:42.880 --> 02:04:45.039 is after going for Flair in the world title the 2466 02:04:45.119 --> 02:04:46.439 last time they were on pay per view or two 2467 02:04:46.479 --> 02:04:48.640 pay per views go now he's in the mid card, 2468 02:04:48.680 --> 02:04:51.359 as he says in his book, after the Thundercage, executives 2469 02:04:51.359 --> 02:04:52.840 took me out of the main events scene. I knew 2470 02:04:52.840 --> 02:04:54.279 it was coming, and it bugged me. I knew not 2471 02:04:54.359 --> 02:04:56.239 to say anything, but I figured maybe I could make 2472 02:04:56.279 --> 02:04:57.960 my action speak louder than words in the ring and 2473 02:04:58.039 --> 02:04:59.720 force them to keep me in the mix. My first 2474 02:04:59.760 --> 02:05:02.439 mite card feud was with Ray Trailer, who many may 2475 02:05:02.520 --> 02:05:04.399 remember as Big boss Man in w W if you 2476 02:05:04.479 --> 02:05:06.680 had just come in pretty hot office stint with Vince 2477 02:05:06.680 --> 02:05:09.039 in WCW. They just called him the Boss at this point, no, 2478 02:05:09.960 --> 02:05:12.359 but would later call him the Guardian Angel for legal reasons. 2479 02:05:12.439 --> 02:05:14.800 Ray was excellent and worked really snug or matches were 2480 02:05:14.840 --> 02:05:16.520 better than they had hoped, and for some reason they 2481 02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:19.359 attributed this to me and my storytelling. Therefore, they decided 2482 02:05:19.399 --> 02:05:21.479 not to just kill off my stock just yet. They 2483 02:05:21.520 --> 02:05:23.479 had me defeat him at Spring Stampede and try to 2484 02:05:23.520 --> 02:05:25.239 figure out what to do with me next. Next they 2485 02:05:25.279 --> 02:05:27.399 put me with another person sitting out from the Flair 2486 02:05:27.439 --> 02:05:29.399 Hogan Main Events spotlight, and that was Sting. 2487 02:05:30.760 --> 02:05:36.159 Yeah, okay, yeah, what what is his timeline? 2488 02:05:36.199 --> 02:05:38.560 I know he saw slamboury ninety four, which is before this, 2489 02:05:39.199 --> 02:05:43.479 the month before this, and uh yeah, he's definitely forgetting. 2490 02:05:43.159 --> 02:05:46.159 That was his first match with With with the Boss Man. 2491 02:05:46.319 --> 02:05:48.640 Says it was at Spring Stampede, which. 2492 02:05:48.640 --> 02:05:51.119 But it was actually a Slambery. No, Slambury was the 2493 02:05:51.159 --> 02:05:53.520 Sting match. Oh, Sammy was the thing match And this 2494 02:05:53.640 --> 02:05:55.720 was the first time with with With the Boss Man. 2495 02:05:56.359 --> 02:05:59.439 This I think was the second time he remembers working 2496 02:05:59.520 --> 02:06:01.680 him as the bus and then a Guardian Angel. But 2497 02:06:01.720 --> 02:06:05.119 it wasn't before it stings in between, I believe is 2498 02:06:05.159 --> 02:06:07.760 what he's what he's saying. But yeah, that's pretty it's 2499 02:06:07.800 --> 02:06:10.359 pretty funny. Like actually that sting just gets relegated back 2500 02:06:10.399 --> 02:06:12.680 to the old Vader feud. It's like, all right, go 2501 02:06:12.680 --> 02:06:14.119 over there. That works, like, get out of here, we 2502 02:06:14.199 --> 02:06:16.680 clearly have no plans for you. So here he comes 2503 02:06:16.920 --> 02:06:20.359 for the opponent, of course, from Cobb County and comes 2504 02:06:20.399 --> 02:06:21.800 out to a song that sounds a little bit like 2505 02:06:21.840 --> 02:06:24.960 Bad Street USA. The man who stands for law and order. 2506 02:06:25.239 --> 02:06:29.159 And I I hate this gim it's so bad. It's 2507 02:06:29.319 --> 02:06:29.800 so much. 2508 02:06:30.479 --> 02:06:32.399 It's like he was a cop in WWF. He can't 2509 02:06:32.399 --> 02:06:34.640 be a cop because that'll be too close, so we'll 2510 02:06:34.680 --> 02:06:35.880 just make him a guardian angel. 2511 02:06:36.039 --> 02:06:37.359 That's just another version of it. 2512 02:06:37.640 --> 02:06:41.119 Oh, it's just it's dreadful. The protector of ww the 2513 02:06:41.199 --> 02:06:44.199 man who stands for lawn order. Like the fact that 2514 02:06:44.239 --> 02:06:48.000 he's wearing a white T shirt and khakis is just deplorable. Well, 2515 02:06:48.279 --> 02:06:49.960 that is one thing he has in common with you. 2516 02:06:52.119 --> 02:06:56.479 He stands. He stands for lawn order, right, I do. 2517 02:06:57.159 --> 02:06:57.680 It's very true. 2518 02:06:57.880 --> 02:07:02.720 He once did not guilty, not ye Winkle had been stripped. 2519 02:07:02.800 --> 02:07:08.000 Worst worst call ever?

I think I 2522 02:07:14.159 --> 02:07:16.119 might have said is when I auditioned, he was guilty. 2523 02:07:17.319 --> 02:07:21.239 When I auditioned, the verdict was guilty, and then they 2524 02:07:21.399 --> 02:07:22.439 change it to not guilty. 2525 02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:24.159 Do you think that they give you a k fabe 2526 02:07:24.239 --> 02:07:26.039 thing for auditions so you don't go out there act like. 2527 02:07:26.079 --> 02:07:30.199 You know it's possible. I also think they might have 2528 02:07:30.359 --> 02:07:33.079 changed it to make it sound a little more. You know, 2529 02:07:33.279 --> 02:07:37.760 sometimes with those shows, it's like you can't you can't 2530 02:07:37.760 --> 02:07:39.800 always have a happy ending on a lawn or white show. 2531 02:07:39.920 --> 02:07:44.439 You kind of need to have justice not prevail in 2532 02:07:44.520 --> 02:07:48.239 a way because that's life, you know that that's that's 2533 02:07:48.479 --> 02:07:49.359 that's due process. 2534 02:07:49.560 --> 02:07:51.600 The ad a kind of walking down the courtroom steps 2535 02:07:51.600 --> 02:07:54.279 after losing the verdict, exactly, looking looking back at the 2536 02:07:54.359 --> 02:07:56.640 court and then walking to her. 2537 02:07:56.560 --> 02:07:57.079 Car, you know. 2538 02:07:58.000 --> 02:08:00.680 And uh yeah, but I mean I would have liked 2539 02:08:00.720 --> 02:08:03.039 to have had him be guilty anyway, just because he's 2540 02:08:03.079 --> 02:08:06.439 a guy with a break, huh, not to be. 2541 02:08:09.520 --> 02:08:11.920 They mentioned that Commission Nick Bockwinkel had stripped the Guardian 2542 02:08:11.960 --> 02:08:15.039 Angel of his handcuffs and nightsticks, and that the Guardian Angels, 2543 02:08:15.079 --> 02:08:17.079 the actual ones, had come to ww television taping and 2544 02:08:17.119 --> 02:08:18.800 took him to the streets of New York to train 2545 02:08:18.920 --> 02:08:22.239 on how to be a Guardian Angel. Okay, so Vader 2546 02:08:22.319 --> 02:08:24.039 versus Guardian Angel here at bash at the beach and 2547 02:08:24.119 --> 02:08:26.119 Harley gets it in so. 2548 02:08:26.239 --> 02:08:28.520 I understand, So how do you train to be Guardian Angel? 2549 02:08:28.880 --> 02:08:31.039 But like, are they supposed to be non violent anyway? 2550 02:08:31.119 --> 02:08:33.359 Yeah, they're supposed to be basically like a like a 2551 02:08:33.520 --> 02:08:37.199 force that keeps troublemakers from feeling like they can commit 2552 02:08:37.479 --> 02:08:40.960 problems without being noticed, witnessed, intimidated. 2553 02:08:41.520 --> 02:08:42.319 Yeah they were. 2554 02:08:42.359 --> 02:08:44.239 They roll in the streets and they helped the police 2555 02:08:44.279 --> 02:08:47.640 and all this.

Jesse Ventura of course loves that Vader did this, 2562 02:09:09.680 --> 02:09:11.279 and he says that a Backwinkel did the right thing, 2563 02:09:11.319 --> 02:09:13.079 taking the stick from the guy. Why should anybody be 2564 02:09:13.079 --> 02:09:15.680 allowed in the ring with a foreign object? So Jesse's 2565 02:09:15.800 --> 02:09:18.920 on his logic.

I don't know what 2651 02:13:29.720 --> 02:13:32.079 that was supposed to be. And Tony says, Vader has 2652 02:13:32.119 --> 02:13:34.560 competed in Japan, so that explains why he's putting this 2653 02:13:34.680 --> 02:13:35.000 move on. 2654 02:13:35.800 --> 02:13:39.560 He says, he just he applies his leg lock and 2655 02:13:39.640 --> 02:13:42.560 there are just a lot of sounds coming from all 2656 02:13:42.720 --> 02:13:45.800 different directions here.

Now to the half Nelson. Also, 2672 02:14:40.439 --> 02:14:43.760 I don't think I've ever fucking heard boss Man scream 2673 02:14:43.920 --> 02:14:44.560 like that before. 2674 02:14:44.760 --> 02:14:46.600 You know, a whole few opponents had the size to 2675 02:14:46.640 --> 02:14:48.439 do that to the man. I guess out of the 2676 02:14:48.479 --> 02:14:52.640 half Nelson riding the Guardian Angel is Vader. He goes 2677 02:14:52.640 --> 02:14:54.840 to the keylock gets too and Vader just goes damn it, 2678 02:14:54.960 --> 02:14:56.920 like he doesn't know what to do next. And then 2679 02:14:56.960 --> 02:14:59.079 Guardian Angel goes off with uppercuts from his knees. Vader 2680 02:14:59.159 --> 02:15:01.560 rakes the eye Guardian until starts running in place like 2681 02:15:01.600 --> 02:15:03.279 he's the ultimate warrior. All of a sudden, it's the 2682 02:15:03.359 --> 02:15:05.800 damnedest thing you've ever seen. Vader snatches him of the 2683 02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:08.760 front slam climbs, Vader bomb scores Hard who's the man? 2684 02:15:08.880 --> 02:15:11.079 Well he appeared to be right now Vader, because that 2685 02:15:11.199 --> 02:15:12.720 was one hell of a Vader bomb. Then he goes 2686 02:15:12.720 --> 02:15:15.720 to the middle rope. Then Turu says, the problem is 2687 02:15:15.800 --> 02:15:18.279 he has to take his eyes off his opponent to 2688 02:15:18.359 --> 02:15:21.079 do this one, and what does he do? Does Vader 2689 02:15:21.359 --> 02:15:25.039 come to Orlando to settle for a middle rope Vader 2690 02:15:25.119 --> 02:15:27.199 bomb boss? Or is there is there something else going 2691 02:15:27.279 --> 02:15:27.560 on here? 2692 02:15:28.319 --> 02:15:32.199 Well, you know, it's it's funny to me because you know, 2693 02:15:32.399 --> 02:15:35.880 in WWE, he never he never connected with the Moon Salt, right. 2694 02:15:36.640 --> 02:15:38.239 It was like, if he goes to the Moon Salt, 2695 02:15:38.239 --> 02:15:39.720 you know he's not going to hit it. I don't 2696 02:15:39.760 --> 02:15:42.199 know why they did that to him, but you knew 2697 02:15:42.239 --> 02:15:43.920 he was never going to hit it, cause he never did. 2698 02:15:44.880 --> 02:15:48.520 But so it always makes me think that he's going 2699 02:15:48.600 --> 02:15:50.399 to miss it in WCW. But that's not the case. 2700 02:15:51.159 --> 02:15:53.920 In WW. They know what to do with him. In WCW, 2701 02:15:54.159 --> 02:15:58.840 they respected what he could do and listen and listen, 2702 02:15:59.079 --> 02:16:05.359 all right. He wants to show the WCW brass that 2703 02:16:05.479 --> 02:16:08.399 he's the main eventor and so he goes up top 2704 02:16:10.840 --> 02:16:15.359 Vader four hundred and fifty pounds of just pure food, 2705 02:16:18.880 --> 02:16:21.239 and then he decides he can sell like a fucking 2706 02:16:21.840 --> 02:16:25.760 He could sell like a food bank shipment. Sound like 2707 02:16:25.800 --> 02:16:27.600 something that rives on the pallet at a food kitchen. 2708 02:16:28.520 --> 02:16:31.840 I mean, look, four hundred and fifty pounds. This guy 2709 02:16:32.000 --> 02:16:34.639 is not right small, and what is and what does 2710 02:16:34.719 --> 02:16:36.319 he do with that fact? What does he do with 2711 02:16:36.360 --> 02:16:45.639 that information? He says, fuck it and he leaps as 2712 02:16:45.879 --> 02:16:49.200 as I mean, it's like watching it's like watching a 2713 02:16:49.319 --> 02:16:55.000 humpback whale fly, Like do do a fucking like a 2714 02:16:55.280 --> 02:16:58.520 dolphin leap in the Battle of the water. That's what 2715 02:16:58.680 --> 02:17:05.159 this is, okay, because the great humpback Vader sores yeah, 2716 02:17:06.440 --> 02:17:10.879 like a bird in the air and crashes down like 2717 02:17:11.000 --> 02:17:16.959 I do not. We all know Vader was not no one. 2718 02:17:17.920 --> 02:17:21.000 He was tough to work with. He was tough to 2719 02:17:21.079 --> 02:17:26.040 work with. He hits you heavy. I don't know. I 2720 02:17:26.120 --> 02:17:30.559 don't want to know what it felt like to be 2721 02:17:30.719 --> 02:17:34.920 the guy that was receiving the moon salt from Vader, 2722 02:17:36.280 --> 02:17:38.159 because that just cannot be fun. 2723 02:17:39.360 --> 02:17:41.319 Can you imagine sitting on your back and watching him 2724 02:17:41.360 --> 02:17:44.479 go up and like that second before his big ass 2725 02:17:44.559 --> 02:17:46.840 body hits you, you're like, oh my god. 2726 02:17:48.040 --> 02:17:53.200 Like the fact that more people don't naturally like either 2727 02:17:53.360 --> 02:17:55.840 roll out of the way or like kind of grab 2728 02:17:55.959 --> 02:17:59.840 their body or whatever, like kind of squish up is amazing. 2729 02:18:00.079 --> 02:18:03.120 Know that they sit there flat for it, and he scores. 2730 02:18:03.959 --> 02:18:05.600 He comes to bash to the beach, climbs to the 2731 02:18:05.680 --> 02:18:09.600 top back right there. That right there is what is 2732 02:18:09.680 --> 02:18:13.399 probably what I love these days about wrestling the most 2733 02:18:14.360 --> 02:18:21.479 is that despite you know, the stiff shots that Vader 2734 02:18:21.600 --> 02:18:24.760 was known for, you trusted him enough that when he 2735 02:18:24.920 --> 02:18:28.879 did something like that, you weren't gonna fucking die, because 2736 02:18:28.920 --> 02:18:34.280 really you should shot. That's probably why WWF. Yeah, maybe 2737 02:18:34.399 --> 02:18:37.319 Freddy land on him. Maybe because he wasn't uh the 2738 02:18:37.440 --> 02:18:39.879 time he got there. He wasn't the spring chicken he 2739 02:18:39.959 --> 02:18:43.360 was in the Vader matches. He he was struggling to 2740 02:18:43.360 --> 02:18:45.159 get around, and I bet it was very hard to 2741 02:18:45.239 --> 02:18:47.639 convince somebody that he had enough control and command over 2742 02:18:47.680 --> 02:18:50.200 his body at that point to land it where you 2743 02:18:50.239 --> 02:18:50.719 wanted him to. 2744 02:18:51.680 --> 02:18:53.639 I guess. I mean he certainly did land it. He 2745 02:18:53.760 --> 02:18:54.760 certainly fucking did it. 2746 02:18:55.719 --> 02:18:58.079 Landed on his feet a couple of times, even landed 2747 02:18:58.079 --> 02:18:58.520 on his feet. 2748 02:18:58.520 --> 02:18:59.959 I don't remember that at all. That's crazy. 2749 02:19:00.479 --> 02:19:02.920 Yeah, I think in the flag match against the Hearts, 2750 02:19:02.959 --> 02:19:06.719 he does it. It's our foundation. So Race gets up 2751 02:19:06.719 --> 02:19:08.799 top because they just basically even though Guardian Angel get 2752 02:19:08.840 --> 02:19:10.360 hit with the moon salt, he certainly doesn't sell it 2753 02:19:10.399 --> 02:19:10.840 like he's dead. 2754 02:19:10.879 --> 02:19:11.639 He's right back up. 2755 02:19:12.120 --> 02:19:14.159 Race gets up top and Gorilla gets Grilla pressed off 2756 02:19:14.159 --> 02:19:15.879 the top rope because hardly Race came here to bump 2757 02:19:15.920 --> 02:19:16.239 as well. 2758 02:19:16.600 --> 02:19:16.680 Uh. 2759 02:19:16.920 --> 02:19:19.040 Guardian Angel clotheslines Vader out of the ring and Race 2760 02:19:19.120 --> 02:19:21.879 sores to the ropes and bangs his back on the 2761 02:19:21.920 --> 02:19:23.559 steps on the way down. They had the steps kind 2762 02:19:23.559 --> 02:19:25.760 of center to the apron right there in the isisleway. Yeah, 2763 02:19:25.760 --> 02:19:27.399 a couple of guys take that bump, and Race is 2764 02:19:27.440 --> 02:19:30.200 one of them. Guardian Angel out Jode Jackson.

This is like 2773 02:19:50.799 --> 02:19:54.319 the ultimate example. He has got a real addiction when 2774 02:19:54.360 --> 02:19:56.959 it comes to bump. Really.

Gorilla gorilla telescopic telescopic telescopic. I don't 2800 02:21:18.000 --> 02:21:20.440 know if that makes any sense.

In 2810 02:21:38.559 --> 02:21:41.120 seven minutes fifty eight seconds, Vader defeats the Guardian Angel 2811 02:21:41.159 --> 02:21:45.360 by disqualification. Here Patched at the Beach nineteen and ninety four, Tony. 2812 02:21:45.440 --> 02:21:47.360 He didn't even hit him with it. He's a Guardian 2813 02:21:47.399 --> 02:21:49.239 Angel in Vader. 2814 02:21:50.680 --> 02:22:24.239 Give me a laptan wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that 2815 02:22:24.399 --> 02:22:27.879 knows the boys need their candy.

I don't know, kind of a shit show 2821 02:23:09.760 --> 02:23:13.079 to me. I'm surprised that Vader perceived this as improving 2822 02:23:13.159 --> 02:23:15.600 his lot. I mean, he was doing well, crazy things, 2823 02:23:15.639 --> 02:23:16.520 but it's a mess. 2824 02:23:17.600 --> 02:23:19.719 They did better later on. I mean they had a 2825 02:23:19.760 --> 02:23:21.680 couple of other matches and there, and they were better. 2826 02:23:22.479 --> 02:23:24.120 This was not their best. 2827 02:23:24.680 --> 02:23:24.840 Oh. 2828 02:23:24.920 --> 02:23:27.879 I just felt like it was kind of haphazardly going 2829 02:23:28.040 --> 02:23:32.200 from crash course a crash course, a crash course. 2830 02:23:32.280 --> 02:23:34.120 But yeah, I mean I agree. 2831 02:23:35.479 --> 02:23:37.520 So Race is cackling in the eye along with Vader. 2832 02:23:37.399 --> 02:23:39.079 Van because they would I know, I know they would do. 2833 02:23:40.159 --> 02:23:42.000 Was it a three way at Yes? No, No, it 2834 02:23:42.079 --> 02:23:43.479 wasn't a three way It wasn't a three way at 2835 02:23:43.600 --> 02:23:44.920 at the three way at. 2836 02:23:44.920 --> 02:23:47.680 Fall brawl, him and him and Sting and Trailer, Him. 2837 02:23:47.639 --> 02:23:48.440 And Sting and Trailer. 2838 02:23:48.559 --> 02:23:48.959 But it was. 2839 02:23:50.719 --> 02:23:57.280 It was, uh, the two of them again at Halloween Havoc, 2840 02:23:57.360 --> 02:24:01.799 which was better. That was better their Halloween Havoc match, 2841 02:24:01.920 --> 02:24:03.959 Vader and Garden Angel. 2842 02:24:04.920 --> 02:24:07.239 He's probably congealing all of them together in his memory too. 2843 02:24:08.719 --> 02:24:10.959 Tony says he's the Guardian Angel again. He declined to 2844 02:24:11.040 --> 02:24:15.680 use the object, so that's that's key, and uh yeah, 2845 02:24:16.079 --> 02:24:19.239 Ventur agrees it's referees discretion, even though it's even though 2846 02:24:19.280 --> 02:24:21.799 the object was simply in Guardian Angel's hand and the 2847 02:24:21.840 --> 02:24:24.280 ref didn't see him use it. It still grounds for disqualification, 2848 02:24:24.399 --> 02:24:28.120 if only so. This is where Tony Shavani asks Ventor 2849 02:24:28.159 --> 02:24:30.719 at ringside to comment on Hogan Flair, and Ventura leaves 2850 02:24:30.799 --> 02:24:33.600 him hanging, says, already made my pick, nature boy Rick Flair, 2851 02:24:33.719 --> 02:24:38.239 and he looks away, giving Tony nothing to latch into. 2852 02:24:38.760 --> 02:24:42.440 He wants nothing to do with this time train. It's amazing. 2853 02:24:43.239 --> 02:24:46.079 Tony says, we have behind the scenes situation here. Cruise, 2854 02:24:46.319 --> 02:24:50.559 Chris Cruse, and Mike Tenay are backstage, and and then 2855 02:24:50.799 --> 02:24:54.479 who walks in talking shit? Uh, someone walks in talking 2856 02:24:54.559 --> 02:24:58.360 ship and then they come They cut back to Ventura. 2857 02:24:58.399 --> 02:25:01.799 I wrote Terry, but that's it's not Oh Terry Funk. 2858 02:25:02.280 --> 02:25:02.680 That's right. 2859 02:25:02.959 --> 02:25:05.399 He comes in. I Ranton and Raven, but you can't 2860 02:25:05.399 --> 02:25:06.840 hear him. They got him on mute. You can tell 2861 02:25:06.879 --> 02:25:11.600 he's causing chaos on the I mean, listen, listen, you 2862 02:25:11.719 --> 02:25:15.360 let that man in, You're in for trouble, all right. 2863 02:25:15.760 --> 02:25:18.719 He's he's not gonna follow Anyone's not gonna rest until 2864 02:25:18.760 --> 02:25:24.600 what he's I mean, someone, someone's gotta be. Someone's gotta 2865 02:25:24.600 --> 02:25:28.319 have one foot in their grave before he's done. Then 2866 02:25:28.360 --> 02:25:31.280 it'll be happy. Someone needs to be near death, and 2867 02:25:31.360 --> 02:25:33.559 it needs to be because of him. They need to 2868 02:25:33.600 --> 02:25:36.559 be talking about him exactly right. That's what he was 2869 02:25:36.600 --> 02:25:39.840 good at. So Tony plugs the phone number of kids, 2870 02:25:39.879 --> 02:25:43.200 get your parents finished permission, and they'll be commentary of 2871 02:25:43.239 --> 02:25:45.000 the Flair Hogan match on the hot line as well. 2872 02:25:45.639 --> 02:25:48.000 And then they pitched to a lot going on between 2873 02:25:48.000 --> 02:25:50.319 the Roads and the Funk family lately. In WCW they 2874 02:25:50.360 --> 02:25:52.840 talk about Dustin Rhodes having a tremendous match recently against 2875 02:25:52.840 --> 02:25:55.319 Buck House Buck. They take us from April until now, 2876 02:25:56.360 --> 02:25:58.079 a lot of things happened on the different pay per 2877 02:25:58.200 --> 02:26:05.159 views involving Slamboree. Terry Funk gets involved. You can't get 2878 02:26:05.200 --> 02:26:06.920 me out of here, he says, because I won't leave 2879 02:26:07.000 --> 02:26:10.680 egg sucking dog Dusty et cetera. Dusty of course soon 2880 02:26:10.799 --> 02:26:15.479 be involved in the program when I want to be 2881 02:26:15.600 --> 02:26:20.280 Yo Patna and and they have the Big Hug, the 2882 02:26:20.280 --> 02:26:25.159 Big Reunion. This is a great angle. I can whip 2883 02:26:25.239 --> 02:26:28.559 the son of a carpenter. They say he's the son 2884 02:26:28.600 --> 02:26:31.680 of a He's the son of a carpenter. That's what 2885 02:26:31.799 --> 02:26:35.520 Terry Funk says. Bull rope match, Dustin wins that one 2886 02:26:35.760 --> 02:26:37.559 Terry comes out with a branding iron and runs it, 2887 02:26:37.639 --> 02:26:40.520 runs him over with it, and they do like a 2888 02:26:40.559 --> 02:26:42.719 spike pile driver. They kind of fuck up big time, 2889 02:26:42.959 --> 02:26:44.879 but they're doing the big gang warfare beat up with 2890 02:26:44.920 --> 02:26:47.959 Colonel Parker involved as well, until officials hit the ring. 2891 02:26:48.079 --> 02:26:51.159 This leads to Dustin trying to recruit arn Anderson as 2892 02:26:51.280 --> 02:26:53.559 his tag team partner to take on Terry Funk and 2893 02:26:53.559 --> 02:26:57.959 Bunk house Buck, And after a while, arn Anderson decides 2894 02:26:58.000 --> 02:27:02.000 to do it. If I take this match, we're turning 2895 02:27:02.319 --> 02:27:05.280 the hurting around, he tells Dustin Rhodes. My answer is yeah, 2896 02:27:05.639 --> 02:27:08.719 I'll be glad to be your partner. Tony says, so 2897 02:27:08.840 --> 02:27:11.799 Jesse Ventura, no, pardon me. Ventura says, Dustin couldn't pick 2898 02:27:11.840 --> 02:27:14.159 a better guy. If he says he'll stand with you, 2899 02:27:14.680 --> 02:27:16.520 he will go back to back with you. And of 2900 02:27:16.600 --> 02:27:19.159 course Jesse probably knows the hill turn's coming, so he's 2901 02:27:19.159 --> 02:27:20.639 setting that one brother beautifully. 2902 02:27:21.600 --> 02:27:24.680 I remember all this. It's it's funny to me because 2903 02:27:24.799 --> 02:27:35.120 I I knew all the recap because of because of 2904 02:27:37.760 --> 02:27:41.639 Halloween havoc, because I've seen Halloween havocs so many fucking times. Yeah, 2905 02:27:41.680 --> 02:27:43.399 as far as I watched it so many times, and 2906 02:27:43.520 --> 02:27:47.920 so yeah, like I I've seen like they would recap 2907 02:27:47.959 --> 02:27:53.319 the whole fucking thing all the way back to to 2908 02:27:54.600 --> 02:27:59.399 what we're talking about here right before what you just did. Yeah, 2909 02:27:59.440 --> 02:28:03.120 I'll be your part. Yeah, you know, like and so 2910 02:28:03.600 --> 02:28:06.319 it was just it's always it was kind of weird 2911 02:28:06.319 --> 02:28:08.000 for me because I'm not as familiar with this show 2912 02:28:08.040 --> 02:28:10.680 as I am with Halloween Havoc ninety four, and so 2913 02:28:11.159 --> 02:28:14.799 to see this and kind of see stuff play out 2914 02:28:17.079 --> 02:28:18.559 in real time was kind of like I was like, 2915 02:28:18.639 --> 02:28:22.120 oh shit, yeah, this is what's this is what's happening here? 2916 02:28:22.200 --> 02:28:24.680 Like oh fuck yep, like I forgot about that. Yeah, 2917 02:28:25.040 --> 02:28:25.239 it was. 2918 02:28:25.360 --> 02:28:28.159 It was very much out of the you know, the 2919 02:28:28.280 --> 02:28:31.600 Dusty Saving Flare in eighty five and they closed the 2920 02:28:31.639 --> 02:28:33.799 cage door on them and fuck them over anyway kind 2921 02:28:33.840 --> 02:28:39.559 of psychology. So that's, uh, that's pretty much that we 2922 02:28:39.840 --> 02:28:41.239 do have to deal with this. I don't know what 2923 02:28:41.360 --> 02:28:43.280 this is about. It must have been for the local promotion. 2924 02:28:43.360 --> 02:28:45.440 I'm sure it was for the show. They cut some 2925 02:28:45.600 --> 02:28:47.000 kind of deal with a show that I guess was 2926 02:28:47.040 --> 02:28:49.120 prominent on FM radio the end of the time, called 2927 02:28:49.159 --> 02:28:51.600 the Ron and Ron Radio Show. They said it's red hot, 2928 02:28:52.040 --> 02:28:54.120 and before the matches Tonight began on pay per view, 2929 02:28:54.159 --> 02:28:57.360 there was a very special match where Rondas and Ron 2930 02:28:57.440 --> 02:29:00.879 Bennington from the radio show, involved a guy. 2931 02:29:00.799 --> 02:29:04.120 Named Ron Dias, Ron Diass, Yeah, very. 2932 02:29:04.079 --> 02:29:08.079 Fast, Eddie and Fez Watley, Molly McShane the wrestlers is 2933 02:29:08.120 --> 02:29:11.600 involved female wrestler and they're empty seats in the front row. 2934 02:29:11.719 --> 02:29:13.399 Jimmy Hard is the referee. They would do these like 2935 02:29:13.520 --> 02:29:17.040 Man Cow and a couple Bubba. They would just, you know, 2936 02:29:17.200 --> 02:29:21.600 in exchange forgetting promotion for the show on the most 2937 02:29:21.680 --> 02:29:24.159 listened to Drive TOFF radio show, they would allow the 2938 02:29:24.559 --> 02:29:27.200 DJs to do fucking matches in the dark match. 2939 02:29:27.280 --> 02:29:28.360 It's really stupid. 2940 02:29:28.440 --> 02:29:30.000 But why they put it on the pay per view 2941 02:29:30.079 --> 02:29:31.000 Maybe that was part of the deal. 2942 02:29:31.040 --> 02:29:33.479 I don't know. Yeah, I have no clue. 2943 02:29:33.559 --> 02:29:36.159 They're running into each other, barely doing anything, and they 2944 02:29:36.280 --> 02:29:38.959 roll up Molly McShane, who was a wrestler for the 2945 02:29:39.000 --> 02:29:41.040 one two three, with Ron Diaz in her corner and 2946 02:29:41.120 --> 02:29:44.280 Jimmy Hart raises her hand. All I can tell you 2947 02:29:44.680 --> 02:29:46.799 about Ron and Ron is this letter that was printed 2948 02:29:46.840 --> 02:29:49.079 in the Tampa Bay Times in nineteen ninety three before 2949 02:29:49.120 --> 02:29:52.079 they were back on the air missing Ron and Ron. 2950 02:29:52.280 --> 02:29:55.360 This is from Al Sason clear Water regarding the Rod 2951 02:29:55.399 --> 02:29:57.680 and Ron morning radio show. So Ron and Ron is 2952 02:29:57.719 --> 02:29:59.920 gone and gone. The Times has shown its approval of 2953 02:30:00.040 --> 02:30:03.120 the change by placing its editorial imprimature on the departure 2954 02:30:03.159 --> 02:30:06.120 by its cartoon depiction of the disinfecting of the Bad 2955 02:30:06.200 --> 02:30:09.159 Boys studio. Admittedly, R and R engaged in a bit 2956 02:30:09.200 --> 02:30:11.200 of blue humor and sarcastic treatment of some of the 2957 02:30:11.280 --> 02:30:14.200 many sexual happenings in this area. Thankfully we won't miss 2958 02:30:14.319 --> 02:30:17.280 their descriptions and references to any of those events since 2959 02:30:17.319 --> 02:30:19.879 The Times, I am sure will continue giving prominence to 2960 02:30:19.920 --> 02:30:23.399 those salacious stories about cops seducing kids or the occasional 2961 02:30:23.440 --> 02:30:26.840 predatory actions of coaches, clergy and medical practitioners. R and 2962 02:30:26.959 --> 02:30:29.680 R strong support of local sports teams, fundraising for the needy, 2963 02:30:29.840 --> 02:30:32.360 support of charities and disadvantaged kids, et cetera, can all 2964 02:30:32.440 --> 02:30:35.360 be taken over by the likes of kindly Rush Limbaugh. 2965 02:30:35.479 --> 02:30:37.879 If Limbaugh's loyal lemmings all buy more of his books, 2966 02:30:37.920 --> 02:30:40.360 t shirts, coffee mugs and newsletters, I am sure he 2967 02:30:40.399 --> 02:30:42.200 would send some of that money to the Bay Area. 2968 02:30:42.479 --> 02:30:45.159 The Bad Boys spoofing of sex, religion, and race is 2969 02:30:45.200 --> 02:30:48.600 easily replaced by Limbaugh's witty bashing of female leaders, liberals, 2970 02:30:48.680 --> 02:30:51.920 black speech, mannerisms, et cetera. I would rather that kids 2971 02:30:52.040 --> 02:30:55.239 listened to R and R than Rush windbag Oops, sorry 2972 02:30:55.280 --> 02:30:59.159 about the R and R humor CBS Blewett. Al Sachs concludes, 2973 02:30:59.399 --> 02:31:01.680 so have some of its other three letter dinosaur brothers 2974 02:31:01.719 --> 02:31:04.040 like ib M, R, C A, and g OP.

Al Sachs fired up that Ron 2977 02:31:09.959 --> 02:31:12.000 and Ron, which apparently they were sort of like, you know, 2978 02:31:12.159 --> 02:31:16.399 shock jock types. Yeah, one of the top rated, uh, 2979 02:31:17.920 --> 02:31:21.120 one of the top rated morning radio shows in the 2980 02:31:21.159 --> 02:31:26.399 Tampa Bay area throughout the nineties, right up until until this, 2981 02:31:26.520 --> 02:31:28.799 and they would have a lot of you know, innuendo 2982 02:31:29.000 --> 02:31:31.399 and stuff.

He's going to dump in the 3004 02:32:26.399 --> 02:32:32.920 city storm drain in in National Lampoon's cristification. I mean, 3005 02:32:32.959 --> 02:32:35.000 he looks exactly like Oh he. 3006 02:32:35.200 --> 02:32:37.680 Does look like because he looks like fucking Randy. That's 3007 02:32:37.719 --> 02:32:39.680 got to be what they were going for with this look, man, 3008 02:32:39.719 --> 02:32:42.680 because it's too spot on. I mean, I I really 3009 02:32:42.760 --> 02:32:44.959 I never thought that until watching this show, and I 3010 02:32:45.000 --> 02:32:48.040 wrote that that's crazy. I wrote down that he fucking 3011 02:32:48.239 --> 02:32:49.840 bunk house Buck looks like Randy Quaid. 3012 02:32:50.000 --> 02:32:52.120 Just think, especially like Randy Quaid. Then on this one 3013 02:32:52.440 --> 02:32:55.319 for us both in isolation to think of it. Yeah, 3014 02:32:55.399 --> 02:32:57.760 so yeah, Terry Funk comes out crazy as fuck, threatening 3015 02:32:57.799 --> 02:33:00.840 a backhand fans and that that a Chris guy from 3016 02:33:00.879 --> 02:33:03.079 the Garden is there, the Vlad's buddy. They cut to 3017 02:33:03.200 --> 02:33:05.680 him several times playing his role. Now that I realize 3018 02:33:05.680 --> 02:33:08.520 and know to look for him, this resting fan from Manhattan. 3019 02:33:08.920 --> 02:33:10.799 Every time they cut to Summer holding up a page 3020 02:33:10.840 --> 02:33:14.319 of the WCW magazine, it happens to be him. I'm like, Okay, 3021 02:33:14.399 --> 02:33:16.920 that's how it worked. Oh really, that's how it worked. 3022 02:33:17.639 --> 02:33:20.639 A Funker stepping through the ropes, pointing, gesturing, threatening, of course, 3023 02:33:20.719 --> 02:33:23.200 Colonel Robert Parker shaking hands with the referee like it's 3024 02:33:23.200 --> 02:33:27.879 all a formal occasion. JV calls him the Jesse Ventura 3025 02:33:27.879 --> 02:33:31.000 calls him. The Colonel's a gentleman, he says, are an 3026 02:33:31.040 --> 02:33:33.120 interesston In, Dustin Rhodes walk out for pretty cool music. 3027 02:33:33.159 --> 02:33:34.719 They look good out there together as a tag team, 3028 02:33:34.760 --> 02:33:36.920 but it would be short lived. Dustin, of course, with 3029 02:33:37.000 --> 02:33:39.280 that sparkly jacket with the CAC dye and shit on 3030 02:33:39.399 --> 02:33:41.879 it and Arned with the standard teamster's jacket, like he 3031 02:33:42.000 --> 02:33:44.239 just came off the shift. I mean, I don't know 3032 02:33:44.280 --> 02:33:48.799 if you knew this about Dustin Rhoades, but he's not true. 3033 02:33:50.879 --> 02:33:51.200 Did you know? 3034 02:33:51.319 --> 02:33:55.959 That doesn't look like he's on the juice? But it 3035 02:33:56.000 --> 02:33:58.600 does surprise he didn't. I'm said, he didn't have that 3036 02:33:58.760 --> 02:34:02.280 song this time. He's got the natural song. They call 3037 02:34:02.440 --> 02:34:10.680 him not true, not drue, they do. They call them unnatural, unnatural. 3038 02:34:12.159 --> 02:34:13.559 They should have they should have had him have that 3039 02:34:13.680 --> 02:34:15.399 same theme song when he came out of gold dust. 3040 02:34:15.559 --> 02:34:20.120 That's a great idea, first time idea, arn Anderson. The 3041 02:34:20.159 --> 02:34:21.760 only thing he's missing is a thermost and he'd be 3042 02:34:21.799 --> 02:34:24.200 ready to put in a fucking eighteen hour trucking shift. 3043 02:34:26.200 --> 02:34:28.399 So Funk puts the fist stop talking shit right out 3044 02:34:28.399 --> 02:34:30.920 of the gate. In this one threatening the backhand, Ventur 3045 02:34:31.040 --> 02:34:33.079 references Roads and the Funk family and their history, and 3046 02:34:33.159 --> 02:34:35.879 Ventur remembers Funk in a one hour nineteen seventy six 3047 02:34:35.959 --> 02:34:38.600 match he had with him in Seattle soured. 3048 02:34:38.760 --> 02:34:41.159 Oh, that's the one. That's the one that was this 3049 02:34:41.360 --> 02:34:42.959 one hour thing. It wasn't an noch, it was it 3050 02:34:43.079 --> 02:34:43.559 was this thing. 3051 02:34:43.639 --> 02:34:45.319 I can see you looking for that one much more 3052 02:34:45.360 --> 02:34:48.239 than I can see. You try to find the Enoke match. Yeah, 3053 02:34:48.399 --> 02:34:51.840 I was like, those are seventy Terry Funk is impossible. 3054 02:34:52.440 --> 02:34:54.120 He had the world title and you can hardly find 3055 02:34:54.159 --> 02:34:54.879 any defenses. 3056 02:34:55.200 --> 02:34:58.440 I know he did wrestle Funk. I did find him 3057 02:34:58.799 --> 02:35:03.600 Jesse Wrestling, but not not to not to a draw. 3058 02:35:04.120 --> 02:35:06.280 He Funk won two out of three falls. Oh really 3059 02:35:07.399 --> 02:35:09.040 and the one that I yeah, the one that I 3060 02:35:09.120 --> 02:35:10.079 found it was I think it. 3061 02:35:10.120 --> 02:35:12.440 Was him going around the country defending the WA world title. 3062 02:35:12.479 --> 02:35:14.799 That's that was right, and go right to Don Owens. 3063 02:35:16.399 --> 02:35:18.079 It's pretty wild and I'd love to see that match 3064 02:35:18.120 --> 02:35:21.000 actually see how that worked back then, I know. So 3065 02:35:21.159 --> 02:35:23.440 Double A and Buck lock up, break Funk standing on 3066 02:35:23.479 --> 02:35:25.200 there a rope barking at arn Anderson. Is that the 3067 02:35:25.239 --> 02:35:27.200 best you got? Trying to get in his head? Buck 3068 02:35:27.239 --> 02:35:29.799 wants Dustin roads, so Double A obliges. Dustin comes in, 3069 02:35:29.879 --> 02:35:32.040 throwing like crazy and knocks down Bunk house Buck and 3070 02:35:32.120 --> 02:35:34.600 the crowd likes it.

Buck digging knees into the kidneys of Dustin 3189 02:41:35.239 --> 02:41:37.159 roads and a camel clutch is applied and he abandons 3190 02:41:37.159 --> 02:41:39.239 it and starts pulling at the hair. Buck then slams 3191 02:41:39.319 --> 02:41:42.040 Dustin and stomps him, puts the abdominal stretch on funky 3192 02:41:42.159 --> 02:41:44.479 yanks on Buck's arm for some extra leverage from the apron. 3193 02:41:44.719 --> 02:41:48.719 Bunk actually waves in Terry and he clubs him. Does 3194 02:41:48.799 --> 02:41:51.399 the funker. Nick Patrick gets in his face over the 3195 02:41:51.479 --> 02:41:53.159 fact that Terry Funk did not tag in, and they 3196 02:41:53.200 --> 02:41:56.159 both win mil the punches felling Dustin. Arnt gets in 3197 02:41:56.360 --> 02:41:58.479 kind of half heartily pretending that he's here to save Dustin, 3198 02:41:58.479 --> 02:42:01.120 but doesn't do much. And then you kind of realize 3199 02:42:01.120 --> 02:42:02.719 at that point not much from Arden so far in 3200 02:42:02.799 --> 02:42:05.680 this match, High No tagged out and just been kind 3201 02:42:05.719 --> 02:42:06.239 of hanging out. 3202 02:42:06.559 --> 02:42:07.319 Yep, yep. 3203 02:42:07.440 --> 02:42:10.440 Terry Funk with a hangman's new neck breaker, rocks Dustin 3204 02:42:10.520 --> 02:42:12.239 roads on a delay, gets a two count, then as 3205 02:42:12.239 --> 02:42:14.799 a pile driver, spiking Dustin into the canvas, and another 3206 02:42:14.879 --> 02:42:16.639 one with a great delay by the Funker. He knew 3207 02:42:16.639 --> 02:42:18.760 how to throw those pile drivers like he really had 3208 02:42:18.799 --> 02:42:19.760 to struggle. 3209 02:42:19.360 --> 02:42:22.600 To get you out, you know, just brutal. Yep, absolutely 3210 02:42:22.719 --> 02:42:23.399 and double. 3211 02:42:23.479 --> 02:42:25.000 He does get in and peel Funk off on the cover, 3212 02:42:25.120 --> 02:42:27.879 back up, headlock, push off tackle. Dustin goes down. Terry 3213 02:42:27.959 --> 02:42:30.440 hits the ropes all wobbly legged and falls off towards 3214 02:42:30.479 --> 02:42:32.399 Bunk house Buck and then flails like a fish to 3215 02:42:32.479 --> 02:42:35.799 make the tag. What a pro Terry Funk is. Buck 3216 02:42:35.840 --> 02:42:39.319 gets his job. He's just making every step count. You 3217 02:42:39.399 --> 02:42:41.000 can't take your eyes off the ring when he's in 3218 02:42:41.079 --> 02:42:43.280 there doing his thing. Bunk house Buck comes in Funk 3219 02:42:43.319 --> 02:42:44.479 still spelling all over the floor. 3220 02:42:44.479 --> 02:42:45.159 At ringside. 3221 02:42:45.440 --> 02:42:48.520 Dustin hits Buck, who swings at the wind, regains and 3222 02:42:48.600 --> 02:42:50.879 dodges back after him, goes back after him, and he 3223 02:42:50.959 --> 02:42:54.200 rams Dustin into the corner. Funk holds Dustin open and 3224 02:42:54.280 --> 02:42:57.360 Bunk goes to work on dust in front, face locked 3225 02:42:57.360 --> 02:42:59.559 by Bunk house Buck, trying to prevent Dustin from making 3226 02:42:59.559 --> 02:43:02.559 any kind of attag. Buck tags Terry Funk, who gets 3227 02:43:02.559 --> 02:43:04.719 all over dustin Roads again. DOUBLEA comes in and grabs 3228 02:43:04.760 --> 02:43:06.399 the ref, like what the hell is going on here? 3229 02:43:06.479 --> 02:43:08.479 Ref backs him up. Dustin trying to fight out of 3230 02:43:08.479 --> 02:43:09.959 the corner, but he's double team because the ref is 3231 02:43:10.000 --> 02:43:14.840 attracted back elbows. He starts hitting back and then finally 3232 02:43:14.879 --> 02:43:17.959 people are going off as he's turning as dustin Roads 3233 02:43:18.000 --> 02:43:19.959 is trying to put together a rally here he throws 3234 02:43:20.000 --> 02:43:22.440 elbows for both. They start doing the big Florida whoa 3235 02:43:22.639 --> 02:43:25.399 who every time he lands yep yeah, and both take 3236 02:43:25.440 --> 02:43:28.280 the bums Dust and then whips Bunk into fuck wait 3237 02:43:28.319 --> 02:43:33.040 a minute, fuck fuck or Buck into Funk and Funk. Hilariously, 3238 02:43:34.639 --> 02:43:37.239 Pratt falls on top of Bunk house Buck all up 3239 02:43:37.319 --> 02:43:41.440 on his legs and shit, he's gone. Funk actually looks 3240 02:43:41.520 --> 02:43:44.040 like he's so absent minded and messed up that he's 3241 02:43:44.079 --> 02:43:47.200 trying to pin Bunk house Buck, and ventre goes he's 3242 02:43:47.239 --> 02:43:50.000 pinning the wrong guy. I just want you to picture 3243 02:43:50.079 --> 02:43:55.040 the disheveled, disoriented manic Terry Funk just like stumbling all 3244 02:43:55.079 --> 02:43:56.959 over the rings such that he ends up on top 3245 02:43:57.040 --> 02:43:59.360 of his own partner in the frakes. 3246 02:43:59.440 --> 02:44:01.479 He's a fucking He's a fucking man. I think that's 3247 02:44:01.520 --> 02:44:03.799 the take home point. He's a fucking man. 3248 02:44:04.000 --> 02:44:05.840 Irish whip Funker goes up and over in a high 3249 02:44:05.879 --> 02:44:08.319 backdrop courtesy of Dustin Roads, who whips Buck in and 3250 02:44:08.399 --> 02:44:11.719 sends him over to he runs Terry Funk into bunk house. 3251 02:44:11.920 --> 02:44:14.559 Terry's walking around like a broken toy in there, flip 3252 02:44:14.639 --> 02:44:17.120 flop and fly from Dustin and tribute to his daddy 3253 02:44:17.399 --> 02:44:20.280 to Terry Funk clothesline. Butck goes up and over the 3254 02:44:20.319 --> 02:44:22.920 top rope, Terry sitting Duck in the center of the 3255 02:44:23.000 --> 02:44:26.000 ring and Irish whip and Dustin hits a jumping clothes line, 3256 02:44:26.319 --> 02:44:29.280 goes for cover number gets one. As Buck comes out 3257 02:44:29.319 --> 02:44:32.079 on top, Dustin cuts him off, crotches him, toss his 3258 02:44:32.200 --> 02:44:36.040 bunk Buck into Funk. Tony says that Dustin wanted it 3259 02:44:36.120 --> 02:44:38.559 to be a one man fight and just have arn 3260 02:44:38.600 --> 02:44:41.159 Anderson his backup, so that explains why Dustin's doing all 3261 02:44:41.200 --> 02:44:43.680 the fighting here, Arn was really only recruited to come 3262 02:44:43.760 --> 02:44:46.959 in if it gets really intense. That's kind of create 3263 02:44:47.000 --> 02:44:50.319 a psychological reason why Arn doing nothing in this match 3264 02:44:51.000 --> 02:44:53.680 is fine by Dustin Rhodes and not already considered a 3265 02:44:53.719 --> 02:44:56.840 betrayal of such. Finally, Torno Parker gets up on the 3266 02:44:56.879 --> 02:45:00.879 apron and boom, Dustin nails him. Finally, the tag from 3267 02:45:00.920 --> 02:45:03.639 Dustin Rhodes to the enforcer who comes in all fired 3268 02:45:03.719 --> 02:45:06.040 up like he's gonna start really handing out beatings to 3269 02:45:06.159 --> 02:45:07.319 Terry Funk and Bunk house Buck. 3270 02:45:07.360 --> 02:45:10.680 And then what does he do? Then? What does arm do? 3271 02:45:11.719 --> 02:45:18.440 As only let's let's let's let's just listen to it, okay, and. 3272 02:45:30.319 --> 02:45:31.639 D Dustin. 3273 02:45:40.520 --> 02:45:44.079 Jesse with a good cell there, ye aren't just DDT's 3274 02:45:44.159 --> 02:45:47.600 the fuck just gets in there like he's like he's 3275 02:45:47.600 --> 02:45:49.200 got the fists up, he's ready to go. And then 3276 02:45:49.200 --> 02:45:53.079 he just immediately without any kind of breaking the plane, 3277 02:45:53.159 --> 02:45:55.280 any kind of change in his countenance, he's turns around 3278 02:45:55.280 --> 02:45:58.479 and DDT's dustint like that's gonna happen now, God damn it, 3279 02:45:58.520 --> 02:46:01.959 and it does. He plants him yep, and spectatic great 3280 02:46:02.000 --> 02:46:05.079 Horseman turn here at a bash of the beach a Horseman, 3281 02:46:05.319 --> 02:46:07.680 member of the Horseman, not not the four Horsemen per se, 3282 02:46:08.479 --> 02:46:10.600 and then again arn Anderson putting Terry Funk on top 3283 02:46:10.639 --> 02:46:13.239 of Dustin Roads four the one, two three, as you 3284 02:46:13.360 --> 02:46:15.719 heard so. In eleven minutes and fifteen seconds, Terry Funk 3285 02:46:15.760 --> 02:46:18.040 and Punk house Buck defeat Dustin Roads and Arn Anderson 3286 02:46:18.120 --> 02:46:21.120 here at Bash of the Beach nineteen ninety four. They're 3287 02:46:21.120 --> 02:46:23.280 all together now, and of course Arn Anderson this forward 3288 02:46:23.319 --> 02:46:26.319 would be part of the stud stable, thus participating in 3289 02:46:26.440 --> 02:46:30.120 the nineteen ninety four Fall Brawl War Games cage match 3290 02:46:30.159 --> 02:46:32.799 where Colonel Parker leaves a little gift for everybody in 3291 02:46:32.879 --> 02:46:36.959 Winston Salem and into a right out of the blue Chavanni. 3292 02:46:36.959 --> 02:46:38.760 Who what a thought?

Yeah, it's not it's not, it's 3431 02:53:41.680 --> 02:53:42.399 not very This is a. 3432 02:53:42.440 --> 02:53:45.520 Point when you know he's fucking Ricky steamboat. He was 3433 02:53:45.639 --> 02:53:48.440 Ricky Steamboat to the Max in eighty nine. For you guys, 3434 02:53:48.719 --> 02:53:51.440 he was Rocky Steamboat to the Max in mid Atlantic 3435 02:53:51.479 --> 02:53:53.760 before ever going to events. You don't have to have 3436 02:53:53.879 --> 02:53:56.520 him come back wearing the fucking dragon costume. 3437 02:53:57.600 --> 02:53:59.920 I mean, look, i'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. 3438 02:54:00.760 --> 02:54:06.559 I I don't mind the wings as long as he's 3439 02:54:06.600 --> 02:54:11.280 not wearing the fucking headdress. The headdress is really the worst. 3440 02:54:12.520 --> 02:54:12.959 Like that. 3441 02:54:13.200 --> 02:54:17.440 I mean, it's it's weird, like he's bringing his WWE thing. Basically, 3442 02:54:17.520 --> 02:54:21.079 it's very it's very pathetic. It's kind of like bringing 3443 02:54:21.159 --> 02:54:23.040 ray trailer in calling him the boss. It's like, really, 3444 02:54:23.399 --> 02:54:26.120 I know, I mean it's it's just it's weird that 3445 02:54:27.200 --> 02:54:32.840 he's you know, they're bringing in like everything. But because 3446 02:54:32.840 --> 02:54:35.280 he's he wears the shoulder things, he wears the little 3447 02:54:35.360 --> 02:54:37.680 medallion on the on the chest. He's just not wearing 3448 02:54:37.719 --> 02:54:40.799 the stupid fucking hat, which I'm grateful for because the 3449 02:54:40.879 --> 02:54:43.239 hat's the worst part of it all. I can deal 3450 02:54:43.319 --> 02:54:46.879 with a little, with a little, you know, a little 3451 02:54:47.319 --> 02:54:50.520 costume here and there. You know. It's the wings aren't 3452 02:54:50.520 --> 02:54:53.719 as bad as they were in w They're they're shorter 3453 02:54:53.879 --> 02:54:57.000 than they were, so again, not as bad. I do 3454 02:54:57.200 --> 02:54:59.280 like the tights. I think the tighter is the best. 3455 02:54:59.479 --> 02:55:02.559 I like the tights. I've always liked those. 3456 02:55:02.760 --> 02:55:05.319 Yeah, I like him too. But he's got the torch. 3457 02:55:05.360 --> 02:55:11.280 He's blowing fire. It's worldan what it's concerning, Tony says, 3458 02:55:11.399 --> 02:55:13.040 fitting on a night like this, that Ricky steamboat get 3459 02:55:13.040 --> 02:55:15.799 a title shot. That guy from New York I mentioned 3460 02:55:15.840 --> 02:55:18.799 from before, He's got the Steamboat magazine, page wide open 3461 02:55:18.879 --> 02:55:21.799 for the cameras, and Ricky does the fire breathing, and 3462 02:55:22.280 --> 02:55:24.040 I don't know if Bonnie's at Ringsidne. I don't know 3463 02:55:24.040 --> 02:55:25.600 if he's still even with her at this point, but 3464 02:55:25.719 --> 02:55:28.280 they kind of cut to somebody makes me think it's 3465 02:55:28.360 --> 02:55:31.159 it's his wife. Bobby Heenan calls Ricky Steamboat a human 3466 02:55:31.239 --> 02:55:34.600 bic as in a lighter. And here comes Austin to 3467 02:55:34.639 --> 02:55:36.159 the Hollywood Blondes music and tin. 3468 02:55:37.040 --> 02:55:39.639 Pank sing kang kang. 3469 02:55:40.879 --> 02:55:40.959 Ye? 3470 02:55:41.280 --> 02:55:43.200 What a walk? What a hair? What ahead of hair 3471 02:55:43.719 --> 02:55:50.959 he's got? He's you know, the Austin Steamboat feud one 3472 02:55:51.000 --> 02:55:53.239 of the most memorable. I mean because this is when 3473 02:55:53.280 --> 02:55:55.840 I I said, this is when I started watching WW 3474 02:55:56.079 --> 02:55:58.879 much more regularly, and so this was the feud this 3475 02:55:59.239 --> 02:56:04.120 was for me. Austin Steamboat is one of the w 3476 02:56:04.280 --> 02:56:09.440 CW feuds, no question, you know, quintessential yep, And it was. 3477 02:56:09.840 --> 02:56:16.040 And I love their matches and yeah, it's really it's 3478 02:56:16.159 --> 02:56:19.360 this few that made me a fan of Steve Austin. 3479 02:56:19.440 --> 02:56:22.479 Yeah, this is what puts on display how much of 3480 02:56:22.559 --> 02:56:24.799 a three tool blayer he was? Five tool whatever I'm 3481 02:56:24.799 --> 02:56:27.959 going to say, Yeah, yeah, really great stuff. Title on 3482 02:56:28.040 --> 02:56:32.280 his waist US title smirk, the eyes wild to like 3483 02:56:32.360 --> 02:56:35.000 kind of just trying to picture his hair being shaved off. 3484 02:56:36.239 --> 02:56:38.719 This is actually, you know, I thought of stunning. Steve 3485 02:56:38.719 --> 02:56:41.360 Austin is just appearing so visually distinct from Stone Cold. 3486 02:56:41.440 --> 02:56:42.920 But when I watched this, I like, I can see 3487 02:56:43.000 --> 02:56:44.559 him maybe it's gonna get the black trunks on. 3488 02:56:44.879 --> 02:56:46.600 He's also got a little bit of that Stone Cold 3489 02:56:46.639 --> 02:56:49.079 swaggers is what it is. Yeah. Yeah, he's kind of 3490 02:56:49.120 --> 02:56:52.040 doing a little bit more of that. He's he's not 3491 02:56:52.360 --> 02:56:56.159 just you know, the the you know, pretty boy character. 3492 02:56:56.239 --> 02:56:58.920 He's a little bit more badass, like I don't give 3493 02:56:58.959 --> 02:56:59.920 a shit. Yep. 3494 02:57:00.680 --> 02:57:00.879 Yeah. 3495 02:57:01.360 --> 02:57:03.319 And for him, as we know, it would only be 3496 02:57:03.360 --> 02:57:05.399 a matter of time before the FedEx envelopes in the 3497 02:57:05.440 --> 02:57:08.040 mail from Bischoff and he is fired amidst an injured 3498 02:57:08.159 --> 02:57:12.159 arm and all kinds of static And this is, you know, 3499 02:57:12.360 --> 02:57:16.040 no excuses. He's he's he's performing his ass off. He's 3500 02:57:16.079 --> 02:57:18.840 got the black trunks look down. At least he's got 3501 02:57:18.879 --> 02:57:21.600 the rap going. You know, if you didn't see money 3502 02:57:21.639 --> 02:57:24.959 in Steve Austin, then you probably don't deserve to have 3503 02:57:25.040 --> 02:57:26.959 a decision making position in the wrestling business. 3504 02:57:27.440 --> 02:57:30.079 You shouldn't be what exactly you should not be behind 3505 02:57:30.120 --> 02:57:34.000 the scenes wrestling because this he's he looks like a'm 3506 02:57:34.040 --> 02:57:35.319 fucking money player here. Yep. 3507 02:57:35.360 --> 02:57:39.719 Absolutely, and you know it would it would follow Austin 3508 02:57:39.760 --> 02:57:41.440 as far as how he felt about Hulk Cogen. It 3509 02:57:41.479 --> 02:57:43.319 starts here and it carries all the way to O 3510 02:57:43.440 --> 02:57:44.920 two when they refused to work with him when he 3511 02:57:45.000 --> 02:57:48.799 came in. Yeah, they're vitalized, nWo. And all those years later, 3512 02:57:48.920 --> 02:57:51.399 Hulk sits down with a stone cold for his podcast 3513 02:57:52.120 --> 02:57:54.399 and Austin traces it right back to ninety four. 3514 02:57:54.840 --> 02:57:58.000 You're immediately you know, you don't need to be shined up. 3515 02:57:58.239 --> 02:58:00.600 But I mean, in theory you're the baby face, but 3516 02:58:00.879 --> 02:58:03.600 but you don't need to be shined up. You're fighting 3517 02:58:03.719 --> 02:58:06.000 from underneath the entire match. 3518 02:58:06.559 --> 02:58:08.600 It made sense. 3519 02:58:08.680 --> 02:58:12.120 It was there from the moment we walked in the rings, 3520 02:58:12.159 --> 02:58:14.719 such as it would have been there if you would 3521 02:58:14.719 --> 02:58:16.799 have ever wrestled me. That's what would have happened. It 3522 02:58:16.799 --> 02:58:19.000 would have been we could have looked at each other 3523 02:58:19.680 --> 02:58:21.719 and the roof would have blown off the place. You 3524 02:58:21.799 --> 02:58:24.680 were so over at the time, and they hated me 3525 02:58:24.799 --> 02:58:26.959 so much from trying to put w W out of 3526 02:58:27.000 --> 02:58:29.200 business for ten years. They would have been great. But 3527 02:58:29.479 --> 02:58:31.479 I'll get off that now. We'll get that's in my 3528 02:58:31.559 --> 02:58:33.559 craw brother, that I never got to work with you, dude. 3529 02:58:33.600 --> 02:58:36.440 I was in such a different headspace back when that 3530 02:58:36.520 --> 02:58:39.360 window of opportunity presenting yourself, and sometimes I kicked myself 3531 02:58:39.399 --> 02:58:41.639 in the ass over it. And I think, man, I 3532 02:58:41.680 --> 02:58:43.559 don't know, I just kind of I was so frazzled 3533 02:58:43.639 --> 02:58:45.879 towards the end. I was just in a bad space 3534 02:58:46.200 --> 02:58:49.159 and I don't know, I just it never happened, and 3535 02:58:49.239 --> 02:58:51.920 it should have happened. But you know what, what I 3536 02:58:52.120 --> 02:58:54.639 think if we could have just gotten in a room, 3537 02:58:55.200 --> 02:58:58.760 you and I and just just just talked, because you 3538 02:58:58.799 --> 02:59:02.760 know what, you probably never told you probably never knew this, 3539 02:59:03.120 --> 02:59:05.319 But I was down. And we're gonna jump back to 3540 02:59:05.399 --> 02:59:07.120 a little bit of you know stuff back in the 3541 02:59:07.159 --> 02:59:10.440 early days of WWF. But you remember when you had, 3542 02:59:10.680 --> 02:59:14.399 you know, those headline, those eight seven out of eight 3543 02:59:14.440 --> 02:59:19.559 WrestleManias down then down there in WWF. You left, man, 3544 02:59:19.639 --> 02:59:22.360 what ninety three ninety two, but you ended up in 3545 02:59:22.559 --> 02:59:26.159 ww You ended up in WCW in ninety four, Yeah, 3546 02:59:26.280 --> 02:59:28.559 ninety four, Okay, I remember all of a sudden the 3547 02:59:28.799 --> 02:59:32.079 word on the street. I'm starting, Steve Man, I'm I'm upcoming. 3548 02:59:32.120 --> 02:59:34.760 I'm gonna be the next Ric Flair. Well, we always 3549 02:59:34.840 --> 02:59:37.040 know that there's never gonna be another Rick Flair, There's 3550 02:59:37.079 --> 02:59:38.920 never gonna be another hun Kogan. There's only gonna be 3551 02:59:38.959 --> 02:59:41.719 the next whoever you are. But all of a sudden, 3552 02:59:41.959 --> 02:59:45.040 here comes the biggest attraction in the history of the business. 3553 02:59:44.760 --> 02:59:45.559 To w CW. 3554 02:59:46.200 --> 02:59:48.920 And I'm thinking, great. And you know, I'm sitting there 3555 02:59:48.959 --> 02:59:51.360 right across from you, wearing your house and I say 3556 02:59:51.399 --> 02:59:56.159 this with respect because I've respected your career, but I'm thinking, Okay, 3557 02:59:56.319 --> 02:59:58.840 here comes the top of traction in the world. He's 3558 02:59:58.879 --> 03:00:01.200 coming to w c W. I was fine when you 3559 03:00:01.280 --> 03:00:02.879 were in WWL, but all of a sudden you come 3560 03:00:02.959 --> 03:00:05.840 down there, and now I'm another nice father down the letter. 3561 03:00:06.360 --> 03:00:10.079 And I always had this grudge against you because now 3562 03:00:10.399 --> 03:00:12.920 you know you were the guy. Now, how am I 3563 03:00:13.000 --> 03:00:15.239 going to overtake this when I can't even get past 3564 03:00:15.319 --> 03:00:16.920 you know, three quarter mid cart status. 3565 03:00:17.680 --> 03:00:20.399 So there was always that grudge, and it was competitive. 3566 03:00:20.520 --> 03:00:22.520 I was like, man, why is this guy here? 3567 03:00:22.639 --> 03:00:24.520 Now? Well, I know why you're here. 3568 03:00:24.600 --> 03:00:27.159 Now, you know, in retrospect, when I look when I 3569 03:00:27.239 --> 03:00:29.760 look back, but when you're in the trenches and you're 3570 03:00:29.799 --> 03:00:32.600 in the ring here and there's that competitive part. You 3571 03:00:32.799 --> 03:00:36.200 watch NBA players or Major League Baseball players, NFL players 3572 03:00:36.559 --> 03:00:39.319 talk about another player, they'll they'll put them over to 3573 03:00:39.399 --> 03:00:42.680 a degree, but it's never very much because it's so competitive. 3574 03:00:43.040 --> 03:00:45.399 The same with our business. Just back when I was 3575 03:00:45.479 --> 03:00:47.760 I would say, talk about Sewn Michaels. These days, I 3576 03:00:47.879 --> 03:00:50.200 call him the greatest entering performer of all time as 3577 03:00:50.239 --> 03:00:53.239 far as execution and being able to do everything. Back 3578 03:00:53.280 --> 03:00:54.159 in the day, a. 3579 03:00:54.319 --> 03:00:55.040 High spot artist. 3580 03:00:55.639 --> 03:00:58.319 You know, that was my perception back in because I 3581 03:00:58.399 --> 03:01:01.680 couldn't put him over then, and so anyway, it was 3582 03:01:01.719 --> 03:01:03.319 always this thing. And then all of a sudden I 3583 03:01:03.360 --> 03:01:06.399 turned into stone cold, and then you come back from 3584 03:01:06.600 --> 03:01:10.520 w CW where I got squashed down another notch. But 3585 03:01:10.680 --> 03:01:13.280 I think if we'd have ever gotten to a room 3586 03:01:13.799 --> 03:01:18.360 and had a just a chill conversation, we probably could 3587 03:01:18.360 --> 03:01:20.959 have done business together, and that'd probably be one of 3588 03:01:21.040 --> 03:01:23.200 the I guess it is one of the biggest regrests 3589 03:01:23.239 --> 03:01:23.760 of my career. 3590 03:01:24.399 --> 03:01:57.959 Keep the last fan wrestling podcast, the wrestling podcast that 3591 03:01:58.120 --> 03:02:01.559 knows the boys need their candy. It's the lapsed fan. 3592 03:02:27.719 --> 03:02:31.239 He's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling podcast with Jack and Corn 3593 03:02:32.040 --> 03:02:33.040 and JP Soro. 3594 03:02:33.680 --> 03:02:36.319 So he says a lot there, basically, you pissed you 3595 03:02:36.399 --> 03:02:38.000 pissed me off, and that's why I didn't want to 3596 03:02:38.040 --> 03:02:38.440 work with you. 3597 03:02:39.159 --> 03:02:40.200 But uh, what could have been? 3598 03:02:40.440 --> 03:02:42.719 I mean, I know, if he could have, if he 3599 03:02:42.760 --> 03:02:45.479 could have lobbied to work with he had been like 3600 03:02:45.559 --> 03:02:47.520 a like a Paul Orndorf opponent to hul Coke, and 3601 03:02:47.520 --> 03:02:48.559 potentially I feel. 3602 03:02:48.360 --> 03:02:52.200 Like, oh yeah, oh in uh in in w c W. 3603 03:02:52.360 --> 03:02:56.000 Absolutely yeah, absolutely, I mean that that would have been. 3604 03:02:57.239 --> 03:03:01.440 That would have been huge, huge, But I for everybody, you. 3605 03:03:01.479 --> 03:03:03.719 Know, Hacksaw Jim Duggan's attached to Hull Cochin at the 3606 03:03:03.760 --> 03:03:05.360 hip from the very beginning on this show. He's one 3607 03:03:05.360 --> 03:03:06.920 of the people that welcomes Hulk in the back. And 3608 03:03:06.920 --> 03:03:09.200 it would be Hacksaw Jim Duggan that would totally run 3609 03:03:09.280 --> 03:03:12.040 over Steve Austin in four seconds to take this US 3610 03:03:12.120 --> 03:03:14.000 title from him. And that's when we knew it was 3611 03:03:14.040 --> 03:03:14.799 curtains for Steve. 3612 03:03:15.319 --> 03:03:16.719 Yeah, but the. 3613 03:03:16.799 --> 03:03:19.719 Drama follows the drama that starts here in nineteen ninety 3614 03:03:19.719 --> 03:03:22.000 four between Hull Coke and Steve Austin. Most of course 3615 03:03:22.040 --> 03:03:24.360 on the Steve Austin side. I'm sure Hulk big league 3616 03:03:24.360 --> 03:03:26.200 Steve just like a big league just about anybody else 3617 03:03:26.280 --> 03:03:31.000 that was perceived as you know, being upper crust before 3618 03:03:31.000 --> 03:03:34.760 he got there. We go to WWF and it still 3619 03:03:34.799 --> 03:03:35.319 doesn't happen. 3620 03:03:35.760 --> 03:03:39.440 A lot of people don't realize that certain. 3621 03:03:40.840 --> 03:03:45.000 This is Hulk trying to explain why people would have 3622 03:03:45.200 --> 03:03:48.399 felt like he big leagued them, but of course he 3623 03:03:48.440 --> 03:03:51.159 had no He's just you don't know what's going on 3624 03:03:51.239 --> 03:03:53.360 in hul Cochin's head. He's got a lot of stresses 3625 03:03:53.399 --> 03:03:53.719 going on. 3626 03:03:54.159 --> 03:03:59.239 A lot of people don't realize that certain You got 3627 03:03:59.319 --> 03:04:01.399 to treat people on a case by case basis, and 3628 03:04:01.559 --> 03:04:04.840 certain people have a grudge or a heart on, or 3629 03:04:04.920 --> 03:04:07.399 they don't misunderstand, or they're out of their mind, or 3630 03:04:07.440 --> 03:04:10.959 they're consumed with something because it could be business or personal, 3631 03:04:11.040 --> 03:04:13.319 or a lady could drive you crazy your fee. You 3632 03:04:13.440 --> 03:04:15.239 just don't know what's going on. And when I went 3633 03:04:15.280 --> 03:04:19.000 down to WCW, I had some personal stuff at home 3634 03:04:19.760 --> 03:04:22.000 that I would walk down the hallway and there would 3635 03:04:22.000 --> 03:04:24.120 be twenty people in the hallway and I didn't see anybody. 3636 03:04:24.239 --> 03:04:25.879 I was out of my mind. I was so worried 3637 03:04:25.920 --> 03:04:28.840 about my home life and the problems I were having 3638 03:04:28.879 --> 03:04:32.159 at home. That you know, stuff happened, and I don't 3639 03:04:32.200 --> 03:04:34.479 mean to call anybody out, but stuff happened, for instance, 3640 03:04:34.840 --> 03:04:37.040 where I was and maybe this was in the WWF 3641 03:04:37.079 --> 03:04:38.719 for whatever it was. When I went back for the raw, 3642 03:04:38.760 --> 03:04:40.920 I was fifteenth anniversary. But I walked in the dress 3643 03:04:40.959 --> 03:04:43.440 room there and there was a guy there named cm Punk. 3644 03:04:43.799 --> 03:04:46.239 I didn't know who he was, and I heard I 3645 03:04:46.360 --> 03:04:48.280 had heat because when I came back, I didn't say, 3646 03:04:48.319 --> 03:04:50.000 oh it doing when I walked through the hall. But 3647 03:04:50.040 --> 03:04:54.639 I remember that night flying in with RVD from California, 3648 03:04:55.280 --> 03:04:57.040 and I was going through so much crap on the 3649 03:04:57.079 --> 03:04:59.159 phone when I landed, and my whole life was falling 3650 03:04:59.159 --> 03:05:01.559 apart from home that when I walked through that dress room, Brother, 3651 03:05:01.639 --> 03:05:04.520 all I could think about was I just need to 3652 03:05:04.520 --> 03:05:06.840 get home and fix my life falling apart. And I 3653 03:05:06.879 --> 03:05:11.360 don't remember seeing meeting, talking or disrespecting anybody that day, 3654 03:05:11.799 --> 03:05:13.479 but I had to live with that because I was 3655 03:05:13.520 --> 03:05:14.520 in that space at the. 3656 03:05:14.559 --> 03:05:15.639 Time, you know. 3657 03:05:16.079 --> 03:05:19.280 So I went to the WWE and I knew I 3658 03:05:19.399 --> 03:05:22.200 was working with the rock. I'm all about making the money, brother, 3659 03:05:22.360 --> 03:05:26.079 and as a heel. I could put anybody over and 3660 03:05:26.239 --> 03:05:28.680 go back the next week, say stone Hold never beat me. 3661 03:05:29.399 --> 03:05:30.840 I mean I could lie in my ass off. So 3662 03:05:31.680 --> 03:05:33.799 and so when I got the reaction I had with 3663 03:05:33.879 --> 03:05:35.639 the rock, my sites were set on you. 3664 03:05:42.120 --> 03:05:42.840 Of course they were. 3665 03:05:43.840 --> 03:05:45.799 But now Steve is in the position to flip it 3666 03:05:45.799 --> 03:05:48.680 around on you from what you did in WW and 3667 03:05:48.799 --> 03:05:52.280 so fuck you. How about that exactly?

But and the fact that 3671 03:06:06.319 --> 03:06:09.280 Hulk Cogin's in ming WWW. Steve Austin is cooking with 3672 03:06:09.319 --> 03:06:11.200 a Rickeys steamboat and underneath this just. 3673 03:06:11.200 --> 03:06:11.920 Fascinating to me. 3674 03:06:12.600 --> 03:06:16.360 Oh yeah, he attacks a steamboat from behind as steamboats 3675 03:06:16.360 --> 03:06:18.399 just getting ready and getting his gear off and hauling 3676 03:06:18.479 --> 03:06:21.600 off of those wide right hands.

He's been the 3697 03:07:27.760 --> 03:07:29.159 World heavyweight champion. 3698 03:07:29.159 --> 03:07:33.239 Eight times, the World tag team Champion, US Champion on 3699 03:07:33.319 --> 03:07:34.000 many occasions. 3700 03:07:34.000 --> 03:07:37.559 Who he hit the ring posts?

So there course telling themselves that a lot 3709 03:07:54.680 --> 03:07:56.639 of people are watching for the first time. You know, 3710 03:07:57.200 --> 03:07:59.440 they might be watching WCW for the first time, but 3711 03:07:59.520 --> 03:08:02.360 I don't think they're completely unfamiliar with Rickey Steamboat. 3712 03:08:02.360 --> 03:08:05.680 I could be wrong, Yeah, yeah, I mean they should 3713 03:08:05.799 --> 03:08:07.840 know who, you know what Rocky Steamboats at. 3714 03:08:07.879 --> 03:08:10.000 Any fan that Hulk brings w Stebby for the first 3715 03:08:10.000 --> 03:08:13.440 time is gonna know who Rocky Steamboat is. So Steamboat 3716 03:08:13.440 --> 03:08:15.079 walks the ropes and rains down an ax handle and 3717 03:08:15.120 --> 03:08:17.920 slams Austin on the hammer lock. Tony says that our 3718 03:08:17.920 --> 03:08:21.280 Colonel Parker was, of course, formally Steve Austin's Managerbert Parker 3719 03:08:21.360 --> 03:08:23.559 thought he was best suited Austin was to be on 3720 03:08:23.680 --> 03:08:26.079 his own. So that's that's interesting. I never really sat 3721 03:08:26.159 --> 03:08:28.239 sat and thought about how those two separated, and I 3722 03:08:28.280 --> 03:08:31.000 guess there wasn't anything formal or a big angle or anything. 3723 03:08:31.040 --> 03:08:32.479 It's just they drifted apart. 3724 03:08:33.040 --> 03:08:34.360 I guess to the corner they. 3725 03:08:34.319 --> 03:08:36.879 Go, Austin hits the gut back yelbow, Steamboat chops out 3726 03:08:36.879 --> 03:08:38.840 of the corner. Austin goes to the middle rope inverted, 3727 03:08:38.840 --> 03:08:41.680 and Steamboat hits a drop kick, and Austin gets hung 3728 03:08:41.760 --> 03:08:44.120 upside down on the rope. Steamboat goes to the floor 3729 03:08:44.319 --> 03:08:46.440 and slams the right hand and steve Austin's head. Austin 3730 03:08:46.479 --> 03:08:48.319 can't go anywhere. He's trapped in the tree of woe. 3731 03:08:48.639 --> 03:08:50.559 And then Austin, even here hits the. 3732 03:08:50.600 --> 03:08:53.319 Ca a weird one. It's weird. It's over the apron 3733 03:08:53.639 --> 03:08:55.559 right right, good point, like it's not it's not the 3734 03:08:55.600 --> 03:08:58.719 tree of woe like normal. It's like he's outside the ring. 3735 03:08:58.840 --> 03:08:59.680 It's very bizarre. 3736 03:09:00.000 --> 03:09:02.639 He's very much in a tree of woe. Yes, oh yeah, 3737 03:09:02.680 --> 03:09:06.200 we can lowercase the term. And Austin is flailing about, 3738 03:09:06.239 --> 03:09:08.360 even hits the cameraman and makes it foggy and streaks 3739 03:09:08.399 --> 03:09:10.760 the lens a little bit because he's flailing about so much. 3740 03:09:10.799 --> 03:09:12.959 And then Austin gets the referee and stumbles down into 3741 03:09:12.959 --> 03:09:16.159 the robes with no control whatsoever. Steamboat tucks in a 3742 03:09:16.200 --> 03:09:18.319 book or t like standing sidekick, and then h's an 3743 03:09:18.399 --> 03:09:20.440 arm drag, puts on the arm wringer. The whip is 3744 03:09:20.479 --> 03:09:23.479 reversed over and over again, but finally Ricky Steamboat kicks Austin. 3745 03:09:23.719 --> 03:09:25.319 Kind of an awkward cross up there. They have a 3746 03:09:25.360 --> 03:09:28.559 few moments in this match, kind of like that Steamboat 3747 03:09:28.559 --> 03:09:30.319 floors him with a chop and puts on an armbar 3748 03:09:30.399 --> 03:09:33.040 in Austin slapping the shoulder as you have to do, right. 3749 03:09:33.159 --> 03:09:36.159 We talked about that. Just physically it's important. I mean, listen, 3750 03:09:36.280 --> 03:09:39.200 you need to get the blood flowing. Ye okay, that's 3751 03:09:39.280 --> 03:09:40.600 what matters his whole coach. 3752 03:09:41.440 --> 03:09:43.440 He says he understands that hul Coging's dressing room right 3753 03:09:43.440 --> 03:09:45.920 now was jammed with security. Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me 3754 03:09:45.959 --> 03:09:46.239 at all. 3755 03:09:47.440 --> 03:09:47.719 He says. 3756 03:09:47.760 --> 03:09:49.360 There's got to be five hundred people back there. Yeah, 3757 03:09:49.399 --> 03:09:55.440 most of them are signed to one for sting. Austin 3758 03:09:55.479 --> 03:09:58.399 tries to leap frog and collapses, clutching the knee that 3759 03:09:58.479 --> 03:10:00.399 had been worked on, and Tony recognized it is an 3760 03:10:00.399 --> 03:10:03.639 old Hollywood blonde trick to pretend to feign a knee injury, 3761 03:10:03.879 --> 03:10:05.879 and indeed he was right. He says, they should give 3762 03:10:05.920 --> 03:10:07.479 him a twenty minute rest here for the. 3763 03:10:09.399 --> 03:10:10.239 This is fucking great. 3764 03:10:11.239 --> 03:10:12.719 That's an old Hollywood blod trick. 3765 03:10:13.440 --> 03:10:14.760 We Steamboat doesn't realize that. 3766 03:10:14.840 --> 03:10:14.920 Now. 3767 03:10:15.040 --> 03:10:17.840 The fans here no why he was just hung upside 3768 03:10:17.879 --> 03:10:19.680 down while the pressure was on his knee. 3769 03:10:20.840 --> 03:10:23.079 Now they should give him about a twenty minute rest here. 3770 03:10:23.239 --> 03:10:26.000 Yeah, what why it happened outside the ring? 3771 03:10:27.520 --> 03:10:32.200 Okay, Hemp and outside the ring it makes sense, I agree. 3772 03:10:32.479 --> 03:10:34.440 Steamboat says fuck it and stops taking it easy and 3773 03:10:34.479 --> 03:10:36.639 stomps him in the corner. Austin talking up a storm. 3774 03:10:36.680 --> 03:10:39.319 In the process, Colin spots hip toss drop kick. Austin 3775 03:10:39.319 --> 03:10:41.799 falls to the floor and Flare flops down on the outside. 3776 03:10:42.760 --> 03:10:45.239 He is pointing to his knee indicating it it's hurt. 3777 03:10:45.399 --> 03:10:47.399 He says he's not playing possum. His knee is hurt, 3778 03:10:47.399 --> 03:10:49.760 and Austin stands and does a time out gesture. 3779 03:10:49.799 --> 03:10:51.399 I think that was Ruth. 3780 03:10:51.239 --> 03:10:53.920 Blay on the hardcam side. Later on, Hulk does say, 3781 03:10:53.959 --> 03:10:56.079 indeed his parents were in attendance, and I think you 3782 03:10:56.200 --> 03:10:57.840 catch a quick glimpse of them here. At this moment, 3783 03:10:58.079 --> 03:11:01.559 Austin drags Wicky Steamboat out, chip away, and Tony starts 3784 03:11:01.600 --> 03:11:05.040 and chops away, and Tony starts going okay, now, as 3785 03:11:05.079 --> 03:11:08.840 they're hitting hard and Steamboat chops, he says it must 3786 03:11:08.879 --> 03:11:12.520 be a trick mee on Steve Austin, that's right, Trickney. 3787 03:11:12.760 --> 03:11:14.799 As Austin runs like a cry baby back into the 3788 03:11:14.879 --> 03:11:18.719 ring with absolutely no mobility problems whatsoever. And uh he's 3789 03:11:18.760 --> 03:11:24.479 got his speedback. Imagine, okay, see Austin flying around the ring. 3790 03:11:25.040 --> 03:11:28.360 You see him just like a springing human super bowl 3791 03:11:28.440 --> 03:11:31.280 in there. I'm to consider a Steve Austin who could 3792 03:11:31.399 --> 03:11:34.920 run like this, a stone cold Steve Austin, and WWF 3793 03:11:34.920 --> 03:11:35.760 who could listen. 3794 03:11:36.280 --> 03:11:40.200 That's that's all we dream about. Okay, that's all we 3795 03:11:40.360 --> 03:11:42.760 ever wanted. We wanted in Austin who could be a 3796 03:11:42.840 --> 03:11:46.559 bad ass but also do the fucking work that he 3797 03:11:46.719 --> 03:11:51.280 was doing during this time. This is this is the magic. 3798 03:11:52.399 --> 03:11:57.559 This is where it all fucking mattered. He was the 3799 03:11:57.719 --> 03:12:03.840 most to appreciated member of the roster in many ways. 3800 03:12:04.280 --> 03:12:06.920 I might disagree with that. I don't care. I think 3801 03:12:06.959 --> 03:12:13.959 he was totally just misused in w CW he could 3802 03:12:14.000 --> 03:12:16.440 have been. I mean, listen, I'm grateful that he that 3803 03:12:16.559 --> 03:12:19.319 he was misused, you know, because I mean would have 3804 03:12:19.399 --> 03:12:20.639 never gotten Steve Austin. 3805 03:12:20.799 --> 03:12:22.799 Are you excited when he came over as ringmaster? 3806 03:12:23.360 --> 03:12:26.719 Fucking thrilled, thrilled. I when I saw him, when I 3807 03:12:26.959 --> 03:12:29.360 when I recognized that it was Steve Austin, I said, 3808 03:12:29.399 --> 03:12:35.239 holy shit, the earliest boss index here, all right, I said, 3809 03:12:37.280 --> 03:12:39.879 now that we're because because because this was one of 3810 03:12:39.959 --> 03:12:44.680 the first times in a long time that a w 3811 03:12:44.840 --> 03:12:49.239 CW guy came over w W A, yeah, I said, 3812 03:12:49.680 --> 03:12:54.000 we got him now, Steve Austin. 3813 03:12:53.920 --> 03:12:57.120 Steve Austin such as he was then, fucking fucking. 3814 03:12:56.959 --> 03:13:00.440 Ring Master Steve Austin. I was like, all right, because 3815 03:13:00.559 --> 03:13:03.479 because you know, with Hogan gone, I mean I even 3816 03:13:03.879 --> 03:13:07.719 I did sense like I had fear, you know, because 3817 03:13:07.760 --> 03:13:09.399 as much as I was happy to see Holkogan, I 3818 03:13:09.479 --> 03:13:13.239 was still thrown through a WW guy. You know, that 3819 03:13:13.479 --> 03:13:22.079 was my home and so without without Hogan there, it 3820 03:13:22.200 --> 03:13:26.440 still made me nervous, you know. But when Steve Austin 3821 03:13:26.479 --> 03:13:30.040 came over in ninety five or early ninety six, whatever 3822 03:13:30.040 --> 03:13:34.079 it was, I was like, yeah, okay, all right, we're 3823 03:13:34.120 --> 03:13:36.799 good now. I don't know why, but like it just 3824 03:13:37.280 --> 03:13:38.319 I was convinced she was. 3825 03:13:38.360 --> 03:13:40.200 I mean, after a savage you know, it's like in 3826 03:13:40.520 --> 03:13:43.360 Boss Man and stuff, It's like, yeah, this is just 3827 03:13:43.559 --> 03:13:45.799 like they're all abandoning me, hacksaw. 3828 03:13:45.600 --> 03:13:48.280 Right exactly, like everyone's going over there right. It was 3829 03:13:48.319 --> 03:13:51.799 a very you know, it was very hard because I'm like, 3830 03:13:51.879 --> 03:13:56.079 these are guys who are supposed to be WB guys. Right, like, 3831 03:13:56.200 --> 03:13:58.239 what's happening here? Why is everyone leaving me? 3832 03:13:59.319 --> 03:14:02.159 Took it very per and you thought, wwfoot, there must 3833 03:14:02.200 --> 03:14:04.280 be something wrong with them. They can't attract any anybody 3834 03:14:04.639 --> 03:14:09.600 right and right and not only here. And what he 3835 03:14:09.719 --> 03:14:16.760 does with this opportunity changes everything forever. Austin, Austin, Austin, Okay, yes, 3836 03:14:16.879 --> 03:14:20.360 not very complicated. It's not the answer to most questions 3837 03:14:20.399 --> 03:14:23.600 you have about the business, Austin. Yes, So he runs 3838 03:14:23.639 --> 03:14:25.559 over the drop down twice and into the sleeper hold. 3839 03:14:25.920 --> 03:14:29.600 Then he pushes Austin into the corner. Does Steamboat school 3840 03:14:29.600 --> 03:14:32.239 Boy gets to heenan does that great noise where he's 3841 03:14:32.319 --> 03:14:35.280 like clenching his teeth hoping the heel doesn't lose, yes, 3842 03:14:35.639 --> 03:14:38.319 betraying it. He was nervous for a second. Then steam 3843 03:14:38.360 --> 03:14:40.440 Beat snatches the arm bar. They do a panding shot 3844 03:14:40.479 --> 03:14:42.959 of the capacity crowd. Tony's wsw's but the world is 3845 03:14:43.000 --> 03:14:46.040 watching now?

Suplex says, my arm is 3868 03:15:45.479 --> 03:15:47.719 starting to feel a little better. He says that out loud, 3869 03:15:47.719 --> 03:15:52.239 which is funny. Tony's like the knee.

Steamboat gets up and rolls out through the ropes, 3877 03:16:14.399 --> 03:16:16.120 over the steps to the floor. Another guy using the 3878 03:16:16.120 --> 03:16:18.440 steps there, everyone doing that bump. 3879 03:16:18.319 --> 03:16:21.120 Tonight everyone, I mean that fuck and again I think 3880 03:16:21.879 --> 03:16:24.520 I think steamboat doing it was just ridiculous, and. 3881 03:16:24.600 --> 03:16:30.680 He Steamboat didn't miss a step. That is true to 3882 03:16:30.799 --> 03:16:31.200 the apron. 3883 03:16:31.239 --> 03:16:31.440 They go. 3884 03:16:31.600 --> 03:16:34.399 Austin with a high vertical suplex brings Steamboat back in 3885 03:16:34.440 --> 03:16:38.000 the hard way for two backsuplex, Steamboat lands gooseles and 3886 03:16:38.120 --> 03:16:39.959 throws Steve Austin down to the canvas. That was always 3887 03:16:40.000 --> 03:16:42.280 great when steamboat just exploded and just snatched it by 3888 03:16:42.360 --> 03:16:46.360 the throat and showed unlikely strength. Stacks him up to 3889 03:16:46.440 --> 03:16:48.879 steamboat after the impact and gets to Heenan lets out 3890 03:16:48.920 --> 03:16:52.239 a ha at the prospect of Austin nearly losing. 3891 03:16:52.079 --> 03:16:53.000 What a powerful thing. 3892 03:16:53.319 --> 03:16:57.079 Bobby Heenan with the flare style rooting interest for Steve Austin. 3893 03:16:57.479 --> 03:17:00.799 Yes, only makes sense. I mean it does. It does 3894 03:17:00.879 --> 03:17:02.639 make sense. I mean it makes it. You know, you 3895 03:17:02.760 --> 03:17:05.719 wonder did it has something to do with the idea 3896 03:17:05.799 --> 03:17:08.680 that he was being ex Rick Flair the right the 3897 03:17:08.760 --> 03:17:09.479 next Ric Flair. 3898 03:17:10.000 --> 03:17:12.719 Yeah, I would think so back up on an Irish whip. 3899 03:17:12.760 --> 03:17:14.719 See b Austin ducks Ricky's team belt with an arm drag, 3900 03:17:14.799 --> 03:17:15.920 and watch Austin. 3901 03:17:17.760 --> 03:17:18.239 To be too. 3902 03:17:18.639 --> 03:17:20.360 He's too far from the ropes here for a second. 3903 03:17:21.639 --> 03:17:25.239 So yeah, I think with heenan relative to the next 3904 03:17:25.239 --> 03:17:27.799 Wick Flair, I think it's interesting that that point is 3905 03:17:27.879 --> 03:17:31.959 made because you gotta remember, Hult comes in and undoes 3906 03:17:32.000 --> 03:17:34.559 all that hype about Flair Austin, Right, It's not like, 3907 03:17:35.000 --> 03:17:37.639 you know, it's not like only in retrospect we realize 3908 03:17:37.680 --> 03:17:39.399 he had the potential to be something like that. They 3909 03:17:39.440 --> 03:17:41.639 were actively saying when he was in WCW that he 3910 03:17:41.680 --> 03:17:44.280 had that potential, right, and Hogan comes in and big 3911 03:17:44.319 --> 03:17:46.760 foots all over it. In Austin is an absolute nothing instantly, 3912 03:17:47.000 --> 03:17:50.000 And we're supposed to not believe that part of Hult 3913 03:17:50.040 --> 03:17:53.120 Cogan's mission, of the thousands of missions he had in WCW, 3914 03:17:53.399 --> 03:17:56.719 wasn't to sideline or relegate Steve Austin to lower status. 3915 03:17:56.760 --> 03:17:59.680 I mean, give me a break. They weren't blind to 3916 03:17:59.760 --> 03:18:02.760 that side. They were promoting it. He was the US champion, 3917 03:18:02.760 --> 03:18:05.559 he was having singles programs, He wasn't a tag wrestler anymore. 3918 03:18:06.520 --> 03:18:07.399 The promos, were. 3919 03:18:07.319 --> 03:18:10.600 There, fucking US champion for God's sake, like he was? 3920 03:18:10.840 --> 03:18:11.040 He was? 3921 03:18:11.280 --> 03:18:11.639 He was it. 3922 03:18:12.040 --> 03:18:17.000 Absolutely, he was the guy. Absolutely. If you look closely 3923 03:18:17.159 --> 03:18:19.159 next to some of the new Japan representatives around Anoch 3924 03:18:19.239 --> 03:18:21.000 in the audience, you will see in a tuxedo, my 3925 03:18:21.079 --> 03:18:27.040 friend senior consultant to World Championship Wrestley One, Jimmy motherfucking Barnett. 3926 03:18:27.600 --> 03:18:28.680 Really I missed that? 3927 03:18:28.959 --> 03:18:31.959 Yes, oh ship hard to spot, but he is there, 3928 03:18:32.680 --> 03:18:35.840 and he's he's he's observing because Sterling is back. 3929 03:18:36.399 --> 03:18:39.639 I'll tell you, I'm so nervous. I can't. Sterling, Oh 3930 03:18:39.760 --> 03:18:44.719 my god, so long. You look so good. You look fantastic. 3931 03:18:44.959 --> 03:18:48.799 Can I touch? Did you lean out? You're looking finn 3932 03:18:49.399 --> 03:18:51.319 but in a good way. Don't get me read I'm wrong. 3933 03:18:51.840 --> 03:18:55.479 I don't know you eat? Are you eating food? It's hot, Sterling. 3934 03:18:56.360 --> 03:19:00.600 I'll tell you. You know here we are right, you 3935 03:19:00.680 --> 03:19:02.920 know were we're sitting in the w C W and 3936 03:19:03.000 --> 03:19:08.959 I just I can't handle it. I just can't. They 3937 03:19:09.079 --> 03:19:14.399 want me, you understand, they're asking me to book. I 3938 03:19:14.559 --> 03:19:28.280 can't exactly. It's too much. I'm drinking again. He's so 3939 03:19:28.559 --> 03:19:29.319 stressed out. 3940 03:19:31.000 --> 03:19:33.600 So with Steamboat driving these into the arm on the canvas. 3941 03:19:33.719 --> 03:19:35.600 They do it over the shoulder shot of Tony and 3942 03:19:35.639 --> 03:19:38.799 Heenan calling the action, and Tony points out that's the brain, 3943 03:19:38.879 --> 03:19:40.799 by the way, because they can see themselves on the monitor, 3944 03:19:40.840 --> 03:19:43.440 and Heenan says, and that's the other part of the anatomy. 3945 03:19:44.000 --> 03:19:48.520 And you can see Tony's shoulders shaking with a chuckle 3946 03:19:49.000 --> 03:19:49.440 even though. 3947 03:19:49.360 --> 03:19:50.040 It's backs to the car. 3948 03:19:50.319 --> 03:19:53.399 My god, that's fantastic, Tony says. Ricky Steamboat likes matches 3949 03:19:53.440 --> 03:19:55.360 to go long time because he's got the conditioning edge. 3950 03:19:55.719 --> 03:20:02.159 He's got conditioning, unlike this crowd. They're boring. Chances starting 3951 03:20:02.239 --> 03:20:03.079 to trickle through. 3952 03:20:03.799 --> 03:20:04.280 They're wrong. 3953 03:20:04.479 --> 03:20:07.760 It'll obliged to mention that they're wrong. They're dead wrong. 3954 03:20:07.879 --> 03:20:10.399 But you heard them right, not just shaking them up. Yeah, no, 3955 03:20:10.680 --> 03:20:12.200 I know back. 3956 03:20:13.000 --> 03:20:15.000 They don't understand what they're watching. That's the problem. 3957 03:20:15.040 --> 03:20:17.559 There, you go, Austin pushes off Ricky Steamboat into a 3958 03:20:17.680 --> 03:20:20.200 tackle up and over and they do it this disaster. 3959 03:20:20.319 --> 03:20:22.520 They just cross each other up. It looks bad, really bad. 3960 03:20:23.280 --> 03:20:25.159 And then Austin's going up for a leap frog and 3961 03:20:25.239 --> 03:20:28.000 Ricky is jumping too at the same time. That's just 3962 03:20:28.079 --> 03:20:30.440 the spot I'm talking about and they collide in mid 3963 03:20:30.520 --> 03:20:33.920 motion and Austin kind of flops down and Steamboat he 3964 03:20:33.959 --> 03:20:35.959 does quick he does a quick recovery. Do his credit, 3965 03:20:36.120 --> 03:20:38.920 you know, Steamboat one of the best at making anything 3966 03:20:38.959 --> 03:20:41.879 that might be a miss a misstep look like, okay, well, 3967 03:20:42.040 --> 03:20:43.840 that's what happens when two guys are trying to execute 3968 03:20:43.840 --> 03:20:45.600 complicated moves in each other in a real fire every 3969 03:20:45.600 --> 03:20:47.600 now and then they're gonna miss. And when they missed, 3970 03:20:47.680 --> 03:20:50.559 is the other guy, you know, look like a deer 3971 03:20:50.600 --> 03:20:53.440 in the headlights announcing to everybody that something was wrong, 3972 03:20:54.280 --> 03:20:56.440 or does he immediately go for a cover as you 3973 03:20:56.719 --> 03:20:58.840 do if someone went for a move and missed. 3974 03:20:59.040 --> 03:21:00.639 Of course, that's exactly what you would do. 3975 03:21:00.680 --> 03:21:02.719 It's what he does for jackknife cover from Steamboat that 3976 03:21:02.799 --> 03:21:07.479 gets too body slambery ricky Steamboat and he soars with 3977 03:21:07.600 --> 03:21:12.159 a cross body for two. Then we have Steamboat hits 3978 03:21:12.399 --> 03:21:15.680 uh Steve Austin lifts him. It's a huge spinebuster, almost 3979 03:21:15.680 --> 03:21:17.799 like the one Hardcore Holly used to do. Interestingly enough, 3980 03:21:18.159 --> 03:21:18.840 don't remember. 3981 03:21:18.639 --> 03:21:21.799 That we that yeah he yeah, he lifts them up 3982 03:21:21.840 --> 03:21:25.680 and then yeah, like like it's a standing spinebuster maneuver 3983 03:21:26.799 --> 03:21:27.559 of sorts. 3984 03:21:27.440 --> 03:21:29.719 Remember him doing that, but that got the reaction that 3985 03:21:29.760 --> 03:21:31.760 gets them back into it. That's how impact stuff. Austin 3986 03:21:31.840 --> 03:21:33.600 to the bottom rope and lifts a finger at him. 3987 03:21:35.479 --> 03:21:37.840 You can hear this female voice. She's close to a 3988 03:21:37.879 --> 03:21:39.559 hot mic. I don't know who she is or why 3989 03:21:39.600 --> 03:21:41.200 he can hear her, but all I can hear her 3990 03:21:41.239 --> 03:21:44.840 say is, I think everyone's wrestling for Antonio. Everyone's wrestling 3991 03:21:44.879 --> 03:21:45.600 for Antonio. 3992 03:21:46.719 --> 03:21:48.600 I was thinking the same thing. 3993 03:21:49.079 --> 03:21:54.000 It's somebody calling them out for you know, they're just 3994 03:21:54.079 --> 03:21:56.399 doing a match that is supposed to get them booked 3995 03:21:56.600 --> 03:21:58.479 in New Japan as opposed to a match for the 3996 03:21:58.520 --> 03:22:00.719 people here in Orlando. I think that that's what I 3997 03:22:00.840 --> 03:22:03.200 interpreted that remark to be, which look is probably a 3998 03:22:03.239 --> 03:22:05.680 fair comment because some of these people are shitting on 3999 03:22:05.719 --> 03:22:07.440 the match in the building, but they just keep going. 4000 03:22:07.719 --> 03:22:10.120 Is almost like they're they're wrestling past that. You know, 4001 03:22:11.600 --> 03:22:15.760 Austin rubbing steamboats head in the mat and Austin to 4002 03:22:15.799 --> 03:22:20.040 the middle rope, flying knee to Ricky, steamboats back, and 4003 03:22:20.200 --> 03:22:22.520 we hear her again. We can't really bring up what 4004 03:22:22.600 --> 03:22:25.840 she's saying. Austin is mocking the martial arts hand motions 4005 03:22:25.879 --> 03:22:29.280 of Ricky steamboat, which is hilarious the way he hunches 4006 03:22:29.399 --> 03:22:31.680 over and like does karate hands. 4007 03:22:31.840 --> 03:22:36.680 It's so funny. I mean, look, he's the best. That's right, 4008 03:22:37.440 --> 03:22:40.920 all right, there's a reason why he is the best. 4009 03:22:41.239 --> 03:22:45.959 All the while, ricky steam all the wild ricky steamboats 4010 03:22:46.000 --> 03:22:48.000 doing the cell job that he learned from boxers, where 4011 03:22:48.000 --> 03:22:50.280 he's like barely on his feet waving Austin on, like 4012 03:22:50.360 --> 03:22:53.120 come on, bring it, ye Austin with some chops. Steamboat 4013 03:22:53.159 --> 03:22:55.479 with a shove, barely standing, Austin staying on him. Rickey 4014 03:22:55.520 --> 03:22:57.639 chops double leg catapult, Austin eats it in the corner 4015 03:22:57.639 --> 03:22:59.840 and falls back into a cover by steamboat for two 4016 03:23:00.000 --> 03:23:02.040 back up and Austin explodes with a falling larry At 4017 03:23:02.079 --> 03:23:04.680 catching him. Very nice, how Austin cut off the rallying 4018 03:23:04.719 --> 03:23:07.680 ricky steamboat there. Steamboat tries to stand and wave on 4019 03:23:07.799 --> 03:23:09.639 Steve Austin and he chops him and a whip his 4020 03:23:09.719 --> 03:23:12.600 reverse and Austin backdrop. Steamboat hits a swinging neck breaker 4021 03:23:12.639 --> 03:23:15.120 and suddenly Heenan says, as soon as Michael Buffer introduces 4022 03:23:15.159 --> 03:23:16.479 both contestants' history. 4023 03:23:16.239 --> 03:23:16.760 Will be made. 4024 03:23:16.799 --> 03:23:18.680 It's like he got this fucking thing. You got to 4025 03:23:18.719 --> 03:23:21.319 mention Michael Buffer for no reason right in the middle 4026 03:23:21.360 --> 03:23:23.079 of this US title match. I wonder who gave that 4027 03:23:23.239 --> 03:23:27.760 signal from the truck Jesus Christ. Austin gets a two count, 4028 03:23:27.840 --> 03:23:29.959 turns over Ricky and puts his neck between his ankles 4029 03:23:29.959 --> 03:23:31.479 and kind of pulls at him. Kind of a weird 4030 03:23:32.000 --> 03:23:34.399 sequence there. Ricky gets to his knees, climbs up, tries 4031 03:23:34.399 --> 03:23:36.440 to the electric chair drop on Steve Austin with him 4032 03:23:36.479 --> 03:23:39.559 on his shoulders, but Austin kind of rams Ricky's head 4033 03:23:39.559 --> 03:23:42.000 into the mat head first. He gets free and Ricky 4034 03:23:42.200 --> 03:23:44.239 stiffs up like a board the way he takes that 4035 03:23:44.360 --> 03:23:47.520 header into the canvas. Oh, I know, just an elementary 4036 03:23:47.559 --> 03:23:50.159 grabbed the guy by the hair when he's flat down, 4037 03:23:50.239 --> 03:23:51.959 face down on the mat and just slam his head 4038 03:23:52.360 --> 03:23:54.159 and Steamboat finds a way to take that ass over. 4039 03:23:54.200 --> 03:23:55.440 Tea kettle looks great. 4040 03:23:55.799 --> 03:23:58.440 And a nice entangled cradle by Austin, gets those legs 4041 03:23:58.479 --> 03:24:01.319 all pretzeled in there and gets a two several times 4042 03:24:01.360 --> 03:24:02.840 he goes for it, and then he goes to the mountain, 4043 03:24:02.879 --> 03:24:07.280 gets two, grinding his foreum on Steamboat's face, holding down forcefully. 4044 03:24:07.719 --> 03:24:10.159 Not enough of that in wrestling, grabbing the guy's hands 4045 03:24:10.200 --> 03:24:11.719 and like, you're not kicking it out. 4046 03:24:11.760 --> 03:24:18.120 I mean, it's it's very simple. It's very simple, it's 4047 03:24:18.559 --> 03:24:21.319 and it's effective. Yes, just fucking do it. 4048 03:24:21.319 --> 03:24:23.840 And he's doing it. That only gets two though, over 4049 03:24:23.879 --> 03:24:26.360 and over again. Finally, Steamboat bridges with Austin on top 4050 03:24:26.360 --> 03:24:28.920 of him, and Austin goes up and boom comes down. 4051 03:24:29.280 --> 03:24:32.600 Instead of landing with his shins on a steamboat's gut, 4052 03:24:32.719 --> 03:24:35.440 Steamboat gets both of his knees and Austin's crotch and 4053 03:24:35.479 --> 03:24:37.159 then he kicks up with both feet and Austin takes 4054 03:24:37.159 --> 03:24:41.200 an absolute crazy backwards bump. Is that a that kick 4055 03:24:41.239 --> 03:24:44.360 off your back like that? That upkick has potential to 4056 03:24:44.440 --> 03:24:46.280 generate a hell of a lot of power. Austin from 4057 03:24:46.319 --> 03:24:48.360 the back grabs the wrist and kicks the inside arm 4058 03:24:48.399 --> 03:24:49.000 to the middle rope. 4059 03:24:49.000 --> 03:24:49.159 They go. 4060 03:24:49.239 --> 03:24:51.559 Austin is choking him and runs and sits on a 4061 03:24:51.600 --> 03:24:55.000 cross Steamboat's back and waves Rocky Steamboat's arm into the camera. 4062 03:24:55.120 --> 03:24:57.079 He grabs him and turns him into a puppet. Here 4063 03:24:57.200 --> 03:24:59.680 at bash at the beach, tremendous stuff from Steve Austin. 4064 03:25:00.079 --> 03:25:02.799 He says, Hi, everybody with the limp wrist and then 4065 03:25:02.879 --> 03:25:06.680 Steve pulls down his own knee pad. Steamboat turns and 4066 03:25:06.760 --> 03:25:10.000 hot shots Austin. Kind of that stun gun. Austin's move 4067 03:25:10.239 --> 03:25:12.159 across the top rope. Boston goes to the apron. They 4068 03:25:12.159 --> 03:25:14.399 slug it out there. Austin knees and toss the steamboat 4069 03:25:14.440 --> 03:25:16.920 off the apron into the guardrail side headlock and Austin 4070 03:25:16.959 --> 03:25:18.360 shoved off into the post on the floor. 4071 03:25:18.600 --> 03:25:18.879 Back in. 4072 03:25:18.959 --> 03:25:22.120 Steamboat climbs with a tomahawk chop, takes them ount rains 4073 03:25:22.159 --> 03:25:24.360 down right hands big come back here from steamboat back 4074 03:25:24.440 --> 03:25:27.200 up where Austin goes up and over in the great backdrop. 4075 03:25:27.479 --> 03:25:28.239 What a cell job. 4076 03:25:28.879 --> 03:25:31.239 Yes, steamboat knocks him down, covers him for two. Austin 4077 03:25:31.319 --> 03:25:33.600 jabs the eye though and throws steamboat over, and steamboat 4078 03:25:33.639 --> 03:25:35.840 skins the cat as only he can. Heenan says, a 4079 03:25:35.920 --> 03:25:38.840 steamboat jumped over, Not that Steve Austin tried to throw 4080 03:25:38.920 --> 03:25:42.520 him over. So before you go screaming disqualification against Steve Austin. 4081 03:25:42.840 --> 03:25:44.760 Steamboat gets on him to the corner, chops and then 4082 03:25:44.840 --> 03:25:48.879 lunges and a backdrop, and again steamboat hangs on, charges in, 4083 03:25:49.040 --> 03:25:51.760 grabs a cradle, gets to another inside. Cradle gets to 4084 03:25:52.319 --> 03:25:55.120 their backup steamboat with a double egg take down jackknife. 4085 03:25:55.159 --> 03:25:58.079 Cradle gets two. Tony says, Steve Austin was trying to 4086 03:25:58.159 --> 03:26:01.680 get disqualified there, and Heenen says, oh, if that was true, 4087 03:26:01.719 --> 03:26:03.200 he just have to punch the ref and he didn't 4088 03:26:03.200 --> 03:26:05.719 do that, so clearly that's wrong. Tony and I whip 4089 03:26:05.840 --> 03:26:09.399 is reversed. Steamboat hits Austin. Okay, it's tombstone time now. 4090 03:26:10.680 --> 03:26:11.120 I don't know. 4091 03:26:12.879 --> 03:26:14.479 If we spend enough time thinking about how it was 4092 03:26:14.520 --> 03:26:17.440 Steve Austin who was a mark for the spot that 4093 03:26:17.520 --> 03:26:19.520 paralyzed him at Summer Slam nineteen ninety seven. 4094 03:26:20.040 --> 03:26:23.120 Yep, but it's here and all that I was, and 4095 03:26:23.239 --> 03:26:27.120 I was nervous watching this. I mean, my mind goes right. 4096 03:26:27.120 --> 03:26:30.760 There, so nervous. It's summertime after all. Exactly, come on, now. 4097 03:26:31.280 --> 03:26:36.159 All the pieces are there, and it's just it's very, 4098 03:26:36.360 --> 03:26:41.159 very very uncomfortable watching him go for the move, take 4099 03:26:41.280 --> 03:26:43.040 the move, all of it. 4100 03:26:43.200 --> 03:26:46.360 I mean, steamboat just collapses forward and just lets the 4101 03:26:46.440 --> 03:26:50.239 chips fall where they may. Regarding Steve Austin's head, yes, 4102 03:26:50.399 --> 03:26:53.200 he doesn't like he doesn't try to spike him straight down. 4103 03:26:53.760 --> 03:26:56.479 He doesn't try to. He doesn't try to pinch Austin's 4104 03:26:56.520 --> 03:26:59.159 head between his two kneecaps to prevent, you know, impact, 4105 03:26:59.559 --> 03:27:00.399 He us. 4106 03:27:02.200 --> 03:27:02.799 Goes forward. 4107 03:27:02.879 --> 03:27:05.000 He just falls on his knees and whatever happens to that, 4108 03:27:05.079 --> 03:27:08.319 it's unreal impact. Wild that it was Austin who calls 4109 03:27:08.360 --> 03:27:11.120 that spot. Yeah, crowd is now fully with it. Seembo 4110 03:27:11.200 --> 03:27:13.319 climbs the ropes leaps and Austin shoves the ref Aside 4111 03:27:13.360 --> 03:27:17.159 gets in, the ref gets in his face. Crowd is 4112 03:27:17.639 --> 03:27:20.000 kind of dead. I don't know, they're not really as 4113 03:27:20.040 --> 03:27:22.360 alive as they should be at this moment in the contest. 4114 03:27:22.399 --> 03:27:23.639 I feel like, I don't know if it dragged on 4115 03:27:23.719 --> 03:27:25.600 too long. I don't know what the deal was. Maybe 4116 03:27:25.639 --> 03:27:27.360 this crowd is just here to see Halkogan and it's 4117 03:27:27.440 --> 03:27:30.200 that simple. But I do feel like the effort wasn't 4118 03:27:30.239 --> 03:27:32.559 commensurate to the response as far. 4119 03:27:32.520 --> 03:27:35.360 As I I yeah, I don't know what I mean. 4120 03:27:35.479 --> 03:27:37.879 I didn't really care what they were how they were responding. 4121 03:27:38.079 --> 03:27:41.719 I was I was just loving it. There's a whole 4122 03:27:42.200 --> 03:27:45.840 much fucking work rate going on, yeh. I mean, maybe 4123 03:27:45.879 --> 03:27:49.520 they were a little bit out of juice. From from 4124 03:27:49.559 --> 03:27:54.399 Marnin Anderson turning right beforehand. Big moment, no bad question. 4125 03:27:54.680 --> 03:27:57.399 You know, if they're not enjoying their fucking bitches there 4126 03:27:57.440 --> 03:27:58.280 you go pretty simple. 4127 03:28:00.120 --> 03:28:03.079 So the wef is waving like no, and Steamboat holding 4128 03:28:03.120 --> 03:28:05.239 his arm like don't you weigh this thing off? And 4129 03:28:05.360 --> 03:28:08.360 then he gets his hands on Austin starts hauling off. 4130 03:28:08.760 --> 03:28:12.280 Whip is reversed, Austin misses two closed lines. Steamboat is 4131 03:28:12.319 --> 03:28:14.440 the cross body block, but Austin rolls through one two 4132 03:28:14.520 --> 03:28:16.799 not enough, shoulder up, and then Austin goes for it again, 4133 03:28:16.879 --> 03:28:19.760 this time with his leg on the ropes one, two, three, 4134 03:28:19.920 --> 03:28:23.280 Steve Austin pulling the rugout from under Ricky Steamboat twenty 4135 03:28:23.319 --> 03:28:26.399 minutes and six seconds to retain the US title. 4136 03:28:27.000 --> 03:28:32.680 You see, it's great, Like you know, like again, these 4137 03:28:32.840 --> 03:28:36.280 these moves, like the finishes here are not being done. 4138 03:28:38.559 --> 03:28:38.760 You know. 4139 03:28:40.760 --> 03:28:43.319 If you look at like they're they're being done a 4140 03:28:43.319 --> 03:28:46.360 little more realistic. Yeah, you know, the way that they 4141 03:28:46.399 --> 03:28:50.440 get the pins, they're they're not they're not slick, They're 4142 03:28:50.440 --> 03:28:55.120 a little bit clunky, And I think that's great for this. Yes, yeah, 4143 03:28:55.239 --> 03:28:56.200 I'm with you.

You made a 4252 03:33:50.479 --> 03:33:53.000 pack with the devil, and the devil called his mucker 4253 03:33:53.079 --> 03:33:54.079 in a little. 4254 03:33:53.879 --> 03:33:55.319 Bit, so tell him. 4255 03:33:55.399 --> 03:33:59.520 Apparently Prince had been trussed doesn't mean anything in as Cesspool. 4256 03:33:59.559 --> 03:34:04.399 Let's get back to you, ladies, yourselves. 4257 03:34:03.799 --> 03:34:09.040 Beautiful girls like you. Hilarious. I I I love this 4258 03:34:09.399 --> 03:34:11.479 Arn promo. Good stuff, It's fantastic. 4259 03:34:11.639 --> 03:34:14.079 They're choking him with Champagne too while he's talking, to 4260 03:34:14.159 --> 03:34:16.559 the point it's burning his eyes and he's like trying 4261 03:34:16.639 --> 03:34:18.840 to force his eyes open but he can't and he 4262 03:34:18.879 --> 03:34:22.959 has to keep wiping them away, which I think that's 4263 03:34:23.000 --> 03:34:24.639 a rib like when a guy's on camera. I feel 4264 03:34:24.639 --> 03:34:28.440 poor Champagne, he's gonna struggle to keep his eyes open. 4265 03:34:28.680 --> 03:34:30.959 But yeah, I love he just uses the thing like 4266 03:34:31.040 --> 03:34:34.719 you know, I almost died, so like I'm done worrying 4267 03:34:34.760 --> 03:34:38.079 about anything but myself. That's my epiphany after being in 4268 03:34:38.120 --> 03:34:40.879 that position, and so here I am. Yeah, good stuff. 4269 03:34:40.879 --> 03:34:44.520 I also watch for a guy frantically trying to load 4270 03:34:44.600 --> 03:34:46.680 cable into this room at the very beginning of the segment, 4271 03:34:46.719 --> 03:34:49.120 trying to run cable and also hide himself from view 4272 03:34:49.159 --> 03:34:51.680 at the same time. Oh my god, it's it's it's 4273 03:34:51.719 --> 03:34:54.399 something to see in the corner there. So here's pretty wonderful. 4274 03:34:54.440 --> 03:34:58.600 Paul Roma and Paula Orendorf and the Sequins and everything. 4275 03:34:58.680 --> 03:35:01.159 As they part the curtain, Kevin Sullivan comes out with 4276 03:35:01.200 --> 03:35:03.440 the tag team title, formerly of Singapore, now residing in 4277 03:35:03.520 --> 03:35:06.120 Daytona Beach by way of Southey, along with his brother 4278 03:35:06.319 --> 03:35:10.719 Dave as Kevin Sullivan and his partner and co tag 4279 03:35:10.719 --> 03:35:14.760 team title holder, Cactus Jack, the forementioned fan from New 4280 03:35:14.840 --> 03:35:17.200 York doing his part holding open the WCW magazine for 4281 03:35:17.239 --> 03:35:21.840 the cameras with Cactus and Dave. Sullivan already has his 4282 03:35:21.879 --> 03:35:24.000 Hogan shirt on, so he's already a whole co maniac, 4283 03:35:24.440 --> 03:35:26.319 and he insists those are his jammies. 4284 03:35:28.360 --> 03:35:33.719 I wanna be a comaniac, have fun with my family 4285 03:35:33.959 --> 03:35:41.280 and friends. Absolutely, I wanna be a co maniac. I 4286 03:35:41.360 --> 03:35:44.520 can't believe they put that on. I need to take 4287 03:35:44.600 --> 03:35:46.200 off my pants. 4288 03:35:47.879 --> 03:35:51.479 Cactus sticking the tongue through the tooth gap, and Cactus 4289 03:35:51.520 --> 03:35:53.600 and Celli had beaten the Nasties Slambery for the Tag 4290 03:35:53.639 --> 03:35:56.319 Team Championships. Tony notes, it was supposed to be Dave Sullivan, 4291 03:35:56.399 --> 03:35:58.079 not Cactus is the partner, but that's the way it 4292 03:35:58.120 --> 03:36:01.479 shook out. The fake Hog guy has a Paula sign, 4293 03:36:01.520 --> 03:36:05.520 which of course was the taunt back then towards Paul Orndorf, 4294 03:36:05.680 --> 03:36:08.280 and he says that's not Holcoke and that's some idiot. 4295 03:36:09.000 --> 03:36:15.639 He then says he doesn't think. I don't think Dave 4296 03:36:15.680 --> 03:36:18.040 knows who Kevin is. Yeah, he doesn't think Kevin knows 4297 03:36:18.280 --> 03:36:20.719 likes Dave. Yeah, And he doesn't think Dave knows who 4298 03:36:20.879 --> 03:36:23.959 Kevin even is. So this is a controversial time for 4299 03:36:24.079 --> 03:36:28.200 Mick Foley. He's in a totally different space. Yes, he 4300 03:36:28.360 --> 03:36:30.959 had done a W step in ECW promo. At the time, 4301 03:36:31.479 --> 03:36:34.559 w CW and ECW were very freely exchanging talent. Terry 4302 03:36:34.559 --> 03:36:36.600 Funk is an example of that. So as Arn Anderson 4303 03:36:36.719 --> 03:36:38.680 aren't had done the ECW Arena in the same year, 4304 03:36:38.760 --> 03:36:41.399 we just saw Bobby Eaton. Others had made their way 4305 03:36:41.479 --> 03:36:44.040 over there and Folly goes over to do the Saboo match. 4306 03:36:44.399 --> 03:36:45.959 Kind of touched on the match but didn't watch it 4307 03:36:46.000 --> 03:36:49.000 in our Saboo tribute really because he was underwhelming. The 4308 03:36:49.079 --> 03:36:50.840 internet was kind of all a buzz with what it 4309 03:36:50.840 --> 03:36:54.040 would mean if this, you know, table smashing Maniac came 4310 03:36:54.120 --> 03:36:57.120 up against Cactus Jack, the Ultimate risk Taker. So they 4311 03:36:57.159 --> 03:36:59.319 had the match at the arena and they pulled out 4312 03:36:59.319 --> 03:37:01.920 as many stops they could, but it was overall received 4313 03:37:01.920 --> 03:37:04.399 as kind of underwhelming. So Cactus, as he was so 4314 03:37:04.559 --> 03:37:07.000 great at doing, we do a promo railing against the 4315 03:37:07.079 --> 03:37:11.040 fans for their inhumane expectations. And one of the things 4316 03:37:11.079 --> 03:37:14.040 he does to express how dissatisfied he is with the 4317 03:37:14.079 --> 03:37:16.639 current state of affairs is he in this promo on 4318 03:37:16.760 --> 03:37:20.319 ECW Television, spits on the WCW Tag Team Championship belt. 4319 03:37:20.680 --> 03:37:22.319 He holds it right up there and spits on it 4320 03:37:22.760 --> 03:37:25.200 and then goes off in his tie rating promo. Now, 4321 03:37:25.319 --> 03:37:28.559 Rick Flair, as aforementioned, was pretty much booking WCW at 4322 03:37:28.559 --> 03:37:30.319 this time and was in a position to kind of 4323 03:37:30.360 --> 03:37:32.600 discipline the locker room, and he calls Mick according to 4324 03:37:32.639 --> 03:37:34.799 Mick and his Book, and choose him out for spitting 4325 03:37:34.799 --> 03:37:36.239 on the title, or at least asks him in a 4326 03:37:36.399 --> 03:37:40.479 very kind of like arms folded kind of way, this 4327 03:37:40.559 --> 03:37:42.559 is true, did you spit in the WW title? And 4328 03:37:42.639 --> 03:37:46.360 pretty soon fully can start to feel things diminishing in 4329 03:37:46.479 --> 03:37:51.639 terms of his push and his position in the company. Well, Rick, 4330 03:37:51.680 --> 03:37:53.479 I explained to my boss, he writes in his first book, 4331 03:37:53.520 --> 03:37:55.360 even with more excitement in my voice. I wanted the 4332 03:37:55.399 --> 03:37:57.399 fans to understand that as much as I valued that belt, 4333 03:37:57.440 --> 03:37:59.639 I valued my pride a little more By spitting on 4334 03:37:59.680 --> 03:38:01.440 the belt. I felt that I was adding an exclamation 4335 03:38:01.520 --> 03:38:03.079 point to the fact that I knew how important this 4336 03:38:03.159 --> 03:38:05.719 match was for WCW, so I wanted to give a 4337 03:38:05.799 --> 03:38:07.959 little something extra. Would that Flaire said he needed to 4338 03:38:08.000 --> 03:38:10.520 take another call. I was all fired up. Fuck him, 4339 03:38:10.559 --> 03:38:12.920 I silently mouthed, while raising my middle finger in a 4340 03:38:12.959 --> 03:38:15.399 stone cold salute. When Flair got back on the line, 4341 03:38:16.399 --> 03:38:18.120 he said he had to go, but that he talked 4342 03:38:18.120 --> 03:38:19.799 to me at TV. It would be great to say 4343 03:38:20.159 --> 03:38:22.239 that I went there and verbally tore nature new asshole, 4344 03:38:22.280 --> 03:38:24.280 but the truth is that, not wanting to create waves, 4345 03:38:24.319 --> 03:38:27.200 I apologized for disrespecting the image of the belt. Flair 4346 03:38:27.280 --> 03:38:29.520 was pleasant enough about the whole thing as I watched 4347 03:38:29.559 --> 03:38:32.520 this forty five year old man Koma's back, his hair 4348 03:38:32.600 --> 03:38:34.079 as he looked in the mirror as if he thought 4349 03:38:34.120 --> 03:38:37.559 he was the fawnds. Hey, A nurse showed me. Hey, right, 4350 03:38:37.959 --> 03:38:41.200 that's the funn Hey A nurse showed me my MRI 4351 03:38:41.360 --> 03:38:43.559 result because he was hurting at the time, Mick, which 4352 03:38:43.639 --> 03:38:46.079 revealed two bulging discs and one herd needed disk in 4353 03:38:46.120 --> 03:38:47.840 his back. If you think of the disks in your 4354 03:38:47.879 --> 03:38:50.200 back as jelly donuts, a bulge of curs blah blah blah. 4355 03:38:50.719 --> 03:38:54.159 His jelly had squirted out. The nurse left, and Doctor Rosen, 4356 03:38:54.520 --> 03:38:56.520 the name had been changed to protect my bank account, 4357 03:38:56.719 --> 03:38:59.399 walked in a few minutes later. He started in by saying, well, Michael, 4358 03:38:59.680 --> 03:39:02.079 looks like you've got two bulging discs. I kept waiting 4359 03:39:02.120 --> 03:39:04.719 for him to continue, but he didn't. Finally, I continued 4360 03:39:04.760 --> 03:39:07.520 his diagnosis forum. What about the herneda disc, I asked, 4361 03:39:07.559 --> 03:39:09.479 which startled him. Oh, how did you know about that? 4362 03:39:09.719 --> 03:39:11.840 My reply was simple, I read the report. He was 4363 03:39:11.879 --> 03:39:14.479 clearly caught off guard and began back pedaling with his brain. 4364 03:39:14.600 --> 03:39:16.840 Well it is, but it isn't, came his somewhat less 4365 03:39:16.879 --> 03:39:19.360 than scientific reply. That was all I needed to hear. 4366 03:39:19.600 --> 03:39:22.120 I took my MRIs and sought a second opinion. Dtor 4367 03:39:22.239 --> 03:39:24.399 Armstrong was the guy wrestlers went to when they didn't 4368 03:39:24.399 --> 03:39:27.959 trust Rosen. Armstrong took one look at my MRIs and 4369 03:39:28.040 --> 03:39:30.600 strongly advised me not to wrestle until I saw a 4370 03:39:30.680 --> 03:39:33.239 back specialist. He said, the MRI detected a portion of 4371 03:39:33.280 --> 03:39:35.959 the disc that had fragmented and was floating freely in 4372 03:39:36.040 --> 03:39:39.079 my spinal column. If this fragment lodged in the wrong area, 4373 03:39:39.200 --> 03:39:41.920 it could be serious trouble. Unfortunately, I had to leave 4374 03:39:41.959 --> 03:39:44.200 for Florida the next day and didn't have time to 4375 03:39:44.200 --> 03:39:46.920 see a specialist. Doctor Armstrong wished me luck and sent 4376 03:39:46.959 --> 03:39:49.280 me off with a note that read, do not wrestle. 4377 03:39:49.399 --> 03:39:52.159 To do so would risk serious and permanent injury, including 4378 03:39:52.360 --> 03:39:55.120 wow but not limited to, loss of control of bowel 4379 03:39:55.159 --> 03:39:58.520 and bladder functions, loss of sensation and extremities, and paralysis. 4380 03:39:58.879 --> 03:40:01.639 Do not wrestle until se by a specialist. I called 4381 03:40:01.799 --> 03:40:03.559 WW you and told him the news, but told him 4382 03:40:03.559 --> 03:40:05.719 that I would come to Florida anyway. When I got 4383 03:40:05.760 --> 03:40:07.680 to the residence in Kevin called me to his room. 4384 03:40:07.760 --> 03:40:08.479 What's going on here? 4385 03:40:08.639 --> 03:40:11.159 He asked, they don't believe me, do they, I said, sadly, 4386 03:40:11.319 --> 03:40:14.159 knowing that my question was mettally rhetorical. Of course they don't. 4387 03:40:14.280 --> 03:40:16.719 Kevin shot back. Rick thinks she did this because he 4388 03:40:16.840 --> 03:40:20.200 yelled at you about spitting on the belt. He did this, 4389 03:40:20.399 --> 03:40:21.360 got a doctor's note? 4390 03:40:21.479 --> 03:40:21.760 Did this? 4391 03:40:21.959 --> 03:40:22.040 Ye? 4392 03:40:22.399 --> 03:40:23.600 I was getting hot? Where is he? 4393 03:40:23.920 --> 03:40:25.719 I went to a boardroom where Flair was sitting with 4394 03:40:25.799 --> 03:40:27.879 several other members of the Book and Committee Cactus. Flair 4395 03:40:27.959 --> 03:40:29.959 began the tone of his voice sounding like trouble to me. 4396 03:40:30.239 --> 03:40:32.200 Kevin tells me you won't be able to wrestle tomorrow. 4397 03:40:32.319 --> 03:40:32.719 Is that true? 4398 03:40:33.079 --> 03:40:35.159 Yes, Rick, it is, I answered, Are you sure? He 4399 03:40:35.239 --> 03:40:37.840 shot back, as if I were on trial? Yes, I am, Rick, 4400 03:40:38.159 --> 03:40:40.520 I answered again. Now he hit a nerve. I pulled 4401 03:40:40.559 --> 03:40:42.559 out doctor Armstrong's note and, with more than a little 4402 03:40:42.559 --> 03:40:44.600 anger in my voice, addressed the nature boy. I've got 4403 03:40:44.639 --> 03:40:47.799 a legitimate medical note from a respected orthopedic surgeon that 4404 03:40:47.840 --> 03:40:50.000 tells me I would be risking loss of bowel and 4405 03:40:50.079 --> 03:40:53.239 bladder control and paralysis if I wrestle. I'm actually scared, Rick, 4406 03:40:53.440 --> 03:40:54.799 and none of you seem to give a damn, And 4407 03:40:54.840 --> 03:40:56.840 for once in my life, I'm going to put myself 4408 03:40:56.920 --> 03:40:59.719 and my family before this business. I'm not going to wrestle. 4409 03:41:00.040 --> 03:41:02.799 This is true, he said to someone whose identity escapes me. Well, 4410 03:41:02.920 --> 03:41:05.159 the unknown man told Flair. The doctor did say he 4411 03:41:05.239 --> 03:41:08.200 could use some time off, but what about tomorrow, Flair inquired. 4412 03:41:08.440 --> 03:41:10.559 The doctor says that one more match shouldn't make a difference. 4413 03:41:10.959 --> 03:41:13.799 The unknown man answered, now it was well, I'll put 4414 03:41:13.840 --> 03:41:16.079 those words in Flower's mouth. Now it was my turn 4415 03:41:16.120 --> 03:41:18.000 to step back in. I explained that it is, but 4416 03:41:18.120 --> 03:41:21.399 it isn't diagnosis, and stressed the second opinion, that's true, 4417 03:41:21.479 --> 03:41:23.639 Rick Unknown said, actually backing me up on this matter. 4418 03:41:23.680 --> 03:41:25.559 A lot of the boys don't trust Rosen, so they 4419 03:41:25.639 --> 03:41:28.520 go to doctor Armstrong. Look, I said, my note says 4420 03:41:28.559 --> 03:41:30.680 don't wrestle until seeing a back specialist. If you can 4421 03:41:30.719 --> 03:41:32.200 get me to a specialist who can give me a 4422 03:41:32.239 --> 03:41:34.879 milligram and a cat scan, and if that doctor says 4423 03:41:34.879 --> 03:41:37.280 I can wrestle, then I will away. I went to 4424 03:41:37.360 --> 03:41:40.840 the Sandlike Regional Hospital. Unfortunately, the hospital was not able 4425 03:41:40.879 --> 03:41:43.120 to give me those tests on short notice. The doctors 4426 03:41:43.159 --> 03:41:46.120 echoed doctor Armstrong's advice before I left. I should have listened, 4427 03:41:46.200 --> 03:41:48.040 but I didn't. When I got back to the residence. 4428 03:41:48.079 --> 03:41:50.799 I went to the boardroom, opened the door and said, 4429 03:41:50.799 --> 03:41:53.360 I'll wrestle, but I'm not doing anything risky. You see 4430 03:41:53.399 --> 03:41:55.840 how soon they forget. I was on the floor stretching 4431 03:41:55.920 --> 03:41:58.399 at the Orlando Arena at his bash of the Beach 4432 03:41:58.879 --> 03:42:01.319 when a familiar gruff addressed me. I looked up and 4433 03:42:01.440 --> 03:42:05.399 saw Harley. There was sadness in his eyes. Everything you've 4434 03:42:05.440 --> 03:42:07.760 done for them, and this is how they repay you. 4435 03:42:08.520 --> 03:42:10.760 I didn't say anything but nodded my head. If I'd 4436 03:42:10.760 --> 03:42:13.479 spoken at all, I very well might have said I 4437 03:42:13.639 --> 03:42:17.360 very well might have cried cactus. He continued, I hope 4438 03:42:17.360 --> 03:42:21.239 you remember this night for a long time. You know something, Harley, 4439 03:42:21.319 --> 03:42:23.639 I will. I sent Harley a Christmas card that year 4440 03:42:23.959 --> 03:42:25.799 that said, simply, I wish the office had done half 4441 03:42:25.840 --> 03:42:27.920 as much for me as you have. Two years later, 4442 03:42:28.040 --> 03:42:29.760 his wife told me how much it had meant to him. 4443 03:42:29.959 --> 03:42:32.200 I did wrestle that night, and I was scared as hell. 4444 03:42:32.559 --> 03:42:34.319 It was the worst pay per view match that I 4445 03:42:34.360 --> 03:42:36.360 have ever been in, and the fans knew it. 4446 03:42:36.760 --> 03:42:36.879 Now. 4447 03:42:36.959 --> 03:42:38.799 I've been in some stinkers before, but I always had 4448 03:42:38.840 --> 03:42:41.280 this feeling inside me that no matter how bad things sucked, 4449 03:42:41.639 --> 03:42:43.319 I could always somehow pull it out of the gutter. 4450 03:42:43.639 --> 03:42:45.959 I got that same feeling in Orlando that night as 4451 03:42:46.000 --> 03:42:48.959 we cluster fucked to a symphony of silence. But I 4452 03:42:49.120 --> 03:42:51.760 waited on the ring apron until the feeling went away. 4453 03:42:52.159 --> 03:42:54.120 After twenty two minutes of a match that was about 4454 03:42:54.200 --> 03:42:56.799 nineteen minutes too long, we dropped the tag team titles 4455 03:42:56.840 --> 03:42:59.680 to Orndorf and Roma, just as they had so mysteriously 4456 03:42:59.680 --> 03:43:02.680 predicted did over ten weeks earlier. Yes, there was a 4457 03:43:03.000 --> 03:43:06.399 snaffu where they basically, you know, knew they were going 4458 03:43:06.479 --> 03:43:09.520 to shoot the tag title change, so they put it. 4459 03:43:09.879 --> 03:43:13.120 They accidentally put it something on television early that called 4460 03:43:13.159 --> 03:43:15.879 out Roma and ord Orphis champions as if they had 4461 03:43:15.959 --> 03:43:18.799 just won them before the match had taken place. So 4462 03:43:18.840 --> 03:43:21.760 they were still struggling with some of those continuity issues 4463 03:43:21.760 --> 03:43:24.000 around filming so many weeks of television at a time, 4464 03:43:24.360 --> 03:43:27.600 including shows that were to air after the upcoming pay 4465 03:43:27.600 --> 03:43:30.559 per view where the title switch would take place. But 4466 03:43:30.639 --> 03:43:32.879 that's mcfoley. So this match we're about to see boss 4467 03:43:32.959 --> 03:43:35.079 and talk about is the worst pay per view match 4468 03:43:35.760 --> 03:43:43.200 mckfoley ever remembers having. Yeah, I mean it's not great, wretched, wretched, Yeah, yeah, wretched. 4469 03:43:43.360 --> 03:43:46.079 No one knows. It's a shame because I love fucking 4470 03:43:46.559 --> 03:43:49.559 Pretty Wonderful. Yeah, they're pretty awful here, I think I 4471 03:43:49.600 --> 03:43:53.799 think Pretty Wonderful is such a great, underrated ww tag 4472 03:43:53.840 --> 03:43:57.440 team in the mid nineties. But man, yeah, it's just 4473 03:43:57.520 --> 03:43:59.600 a shit show yep, and a lot of it. 4474 03:43:59.680 --> 03:44:02.479 If you don't know Mix hurt, you're really frustrated and 4475 03:44:02.520 --> 03:44:05.399 confused because so much of the match is Kevin Sullivan 4476 03:44:05.520 --> 03:44:08.399 throwing these bolo forearms and stiff chops, trying to draw 4477 03:44:08.440 --> 03:44:10.639 the crowd into the fact that he's really exchanging and 4478 03:44:10.760 --> 03:44:13.200 hitting hard, and no one gives a fuck. No one 4479 03:44:13.280 --> 03:44:15.959 cares about Kevin Sullivan's offense yep, And you're like, why 4480 03:44:16.040 --> 03:44:18.559 is it micking there? He's the most interesting wrestler out there, 4481 03:44:18.719 --> 03:44:20.920 Like he can do cool stuff, and you don't know 4482 03:44:21.000 --> 03:44:23.399 he's hurt, and it's just like it's like they're sabotaging 4483 03:44:23.479 --> 03:44:25.879 the match on purpose. It almost seems like. But the 4484 03:44:25.959 --> 03:44:29.239 finish comes together in such a sloppy way that you're like, yeah, oh, 4485 03:44:29.360 --> 03:44:31.559 it makes sense that like they were kid loving Mick 4486 03:44:31.600 --> 03:44:35.200 because he was, you know, in such a perilous position. Yeah, 4487 03:44:35.399 --> 03:44:37.120 but a woman from the locker room scene comes and 4488 03:44:37.159 --> 03:44:40.239 gets the robes. Same woman who was celebrating with arn 4489 03:44:40.280 --> 03:44:43.280 Anderson and punkass Buck and dairy Funk. Jesus, I was 4490 03:44:43.319 --> 03:44:47.440 coming to get Paul and Roman. Anderson's wrote up Orndorf's robes, 4491 03:44:47.479 --> 03:44:51.920 and we see Orndorf and Kevin Sullivan get it started. 4492 03:44:53.040 --> 03:44:56.799 Some flexing, of course from Orndorf and yeah, one of 4493 03:44:56.840 --> 03:44:59.120 the that right arm has already given up. The right 4494 03:44:59.239 --> 03:45:02.399 arm is already starting fade. Yeah, mister Wonderful, Oh yeah, 4495 03:45:02.440 --> 03:45:03.079 it definitely is. 4496 03:45:03.159 --> 03:45:07.959 It's very noticeable. Yes, it's starting, very noticeable. Weird' said, Yeah, 4497 03:45:08.040 --> 03:45:11.440 the air is being let out. That's exactly right. Lock 4498 03:45:11.520 --> 03:45:12.479 up Ornbro for the arm. 4499 03:45:12.559 --> 03:45:14.639 Dragon a pose Sully lighter on his feet than I 4500 03:45:14.639 --> 03:45:17.559 would have expected, because he's trying to really make this work, 4501 03:45:17.639 --> 03:45:18.879 knowing Cactus can't do too much. 4502 03:45:19.000 --> 03:45:22.040 Oh my god, it's it's it's such a fucking nightmare. 4503 03:45:22.440 --> 03:45:24.920 Tag to Cactus and Roma. Roma pinches his nose like, 4504 03:45:25.000 --> 03:45:27.040 look at this nothing this zero and then look at me, 4505 03:45:27.120 --> 03:45:29.200 he says. He does the go behind and trips Cactus 4506 03:45:29.239 --> 03:45:31.680 and gloats, and then goes to the hammer lock and 4507 03:45:31.879 --> 03:45:34.840 shoves him to the corner and gloats again. They're doing 4508 03:45:34.920 --> 03:45:37.719 the He's basically Paul Roma doing the endw Dice clay 4509 03:45:37.799 --> 03:45:39.399 Oh every time he pull something off. 4510 03:45:39.639 --> 03:45:40.399 Yeah yeah. 4511 03:45:40.479 --> 03:45:44.559 Cactus bites Roma's nose, tags Sullivan push off tackle drop down, 4512 03:45:44.680 --> 03:45:47.399 Sully goes under the leap frog, Roma ducks the line 4513 03:45:48.159 --> 03:45:52.079 and then I cactus headbutts to no reaction dropping Paul Roma. 4514 03:45:52.399 --> 03:45:55.639 Crowd not digging this orangeor fan kicks and punches Sully 4515 03:45:55.680 --> 03:45:58.799 in the corner. Uh fully threw himself over the buckle 4516 03:45:58.879 --> 03:45:59.600 to block Sully. 4517 03:45:59.639 --> 03:46:02.639 You know, yeah, I like that. I'll tell you what. 4518 03:46:02.799 --> 03:46:04.920 I'm always a fan of that spot. Yep. People people 4519 03:46:04.959 --> 03:46:07.680 should do it more often. Yep. You know like the 4520 03:46:07.760 --> 03:46:10.520 fact that people that that that teammates don't try to 4521 03:46:10.600 --> 03:46:13.719 block the post the corner. The post is ridiculous. 4522 03:46:14.239 --> 03:46:15.879 Absolutely it works here and it's a good move for 4523 03:46:15.959 --> 03:46:17.840 him to pull out because it's low risk in a 4524 03:46:17.920 --> 03:46:20.479 moment like this. So Sully chops. Roma tries, but Sully 4525 03:46:20.520 --> 03:46:22.440 redirects him and fully kicks Roma up on the hammer 4526 03:46:22.479 --> 03:46:25.079 locked position. Pretty wonderful. Bail out of the ring and 4527 03:46:25.239 --> 03:46:31.120 fully and Paul Oendorff re engage tackle down goes Orndorf, 4528 03:46:31.319 --> 03:46:32.600 but he hits a knee lift on the way in 4529 03:46:32.680 --> 03:46:36.040 and forearms in the corner on fully to the four floor, 4530 03:46:36.200 --> 03:46:41.879 Fully blocks and throws and Sully drops Paul Roma. He's 4531 03:46:41.879 --> 03:46:44.360 whipped into sully clothesline and they take the bump pre 4532 03:46:44.440 --> 03:46:48.040 four brawl dead crowd YEP. Cactus acted like he's going 4533 03:46:48.120 --> 03:46:50.280 to launch the elbow off the apron, but Paul Roma 4534 03:46:50.360 --> 03:46:52.719 is standing up, so Cactus just has to walk down 4535 03:46:52.760 --> 03:46:55.239 the steps and throw them in the ring. So it's 4536 03:46:55.360 --> 03:46:57.879 Orndorf and Sully in the corner, exchanging. Sully goes off 4537 03:46:57.920 --> 03:46:59.840 with the slaps to the chest, takes on Roma as well, 4538 03:47:00.159 --> 03:47:03.479 trying to get the crowd behind the idea that's just 4539 03:47:03.559 --> 03:47:06.239 not okay fighting both men. Heenan's wondering who the legal 4540 03:47:06.319 --> 03:47:08.959 man is. Cactus is in on a hammer lock. I mean, 4541 03:47:09.040 --> 03:47:11.200 this is like, what the fuck is this? Why is 4542 03:47:11.280 --> 03:47:14.040 Cactus working a hammer lock right now? And he goes 4543 03:47:14.079 --> 03:47:15.879 he almost appears to me to know what he's doing 4544 03:47:16.559 --> 03:47:19.159 as he applies a wrestling hold. Sullivan comes in working 4545 03:47:19.200 --> 03:47:21.760 the hands stomping gimmick. Noow where he stomps your hand 4546 03:47:21.760 --> 03:47:24.200 one hundred times, and Tony says, we have heard report, 4547 03:47:24.399 --> 03:47:27.559 no report yet on Dustin Rhodes. Remember he's still severely injured, 4548 03:47:27.920 --> 03:47:30.200 and Heenes says he's waiting for his aid to come 4549 03:47:30.280 --> 03:47:33.440 back with information on that front. Paul Owen Dwarf boots 4550 03:47:33.479 --> 03:47:35.200 Cactus on the drop down and yanks him down. 4551 03:47:35.360 --> 03:47:38.040 I would have loved to have been one of Heenan's aids. 4552 03:47:37.920 --> 03:47:41.319 Yes, I know, to be working his sources in the 4553 03:47:41.360 --> 03:47:45.079 back and to feed information to him. Heenan gets an 4554 03:47:45.120 --> 03:47:47.319 update and laughs, I guess he has been taken to 4555 03:47:47.360 --> 03:47:49.879 the hospital. He says, what a piece of shit. He 4556 03:47:49.959 --> 03:47:52.239 finds that out and laughs, he laughs, I love it. 4557 03:47:52.319 --> 03:47:56.639 Roma comes in stomping away fully with that. That's a 4558 03:47:56.719 --> 03:47:59.879 lot of that. Cactus with a head butt out of 4559 03:47:59.920 --> 03:48:02.399 the as he's backed into the corner. Orndorf makes the 4560 03:48:02.399 --> 03:48:05.559 blind tag. They double team fully a bit. Nick Patrick presidings, 4561 03:48:05.600 --> 03:48:08.479 you can imagine how easy that would be. Orndorf prize 4562 03:48:08.520 --> 03:48:11.440 is suplex. No Cactus hits in with one instead, So 4563 03:48:11.600 --> 03:48:13.440 that's gonna be the big move from Cactus. Really in 4564 03:48:13.520 --> 03:48:16.840 this match is this suplex tag to Sullivan, who comes 4565 03:48:16.879 --> 03:48:19.920 in going off trying to do a baby face fire comeback. No, 4566 03:48:20.479 --> 03:48:22.719 no one cares, not good, It's not no one wants 4567 03:48:22.760 --> 03:48:26.680 to see Kevin Sullivan firing up. You know, he rams 4568 03:48:26.760 --> 03:48:29.040 up paul o'dwarf into the corner over and over again, 4569 03:48:29.159 --> 03:48:31.959 grabs Roma too. He's got both of them doing it 4570 03:48:32.040 --> 03:48:34.239 at the same time, Big nogg and knocker to the finish. 4571 03:48:34.959 --> 03:48:38.760 Tony calls it double coconuts delicious. 4572 03:48:39.760 --> 03:48:43.000 Kevin Sullivan drops paul o'dwarf for the right double foot 4573 03:48:43.079 --> 03:48:45.440 to the gut, gets a two count, you know that 4574 03:48:45.520 --> 03:48:47.879 little short double foot stomp that Kevin Sullivan used to 4575 03:48:48.559 --> 03:48:51.319 It gets saved from paul Roma. Cactus whips color Dwarf. 4576 03:48:51.959 --> 03:48:54.000 Chris Lemon looks bored out of. 4577 03:48:54.040 --> 03:48:56.079 His fucking mind. The older rings I don't wonder what 4578 03:48:56.200 --> 03:48:57.040 the fuck am I doing. 4579 03:48:57.159 --> 03:48:59.520 He's miserable. Well, they cut to Hank Aaron and Bill 4580 03:48:59.559 --> 03:49:04.079 Shaw and they're just talking. They're ignoring the match. They're 4581 03:49:04.120 --> 03:49:09.159 just talking to each other. It's fucking hilarious. It's amazing. 4582 03:49:09.280 --> 03:49:11.319 It's gonna be a better idea. Can you imagine it 4583 03:49:11.399 --> 03:49:13.159 being a better idea to cut to two people talking 4584 03:49:13.200 --> 03:49:15.159 to each other instead of showing what's happening in the room. 4585 03:49:16.479 --> 03:49:19.680 Cactus with a whip orn Dwarf reverses it, fires out 4586 03:49:19.680 --> 03:49:22.600 with the back yelbow, Sully bites Orn Dwarf, Cactus hits 4587 03:49:22.600 --> 03:49:25.399 a head butt, and then they say that Kevin Sullivan 4588 03:49:25.559 --> 03:49:30.200 ate Orn Dwarf's eyebrow. Okay Enian continues to marvel at 4589 03:49:30.239 --> 03:49:33.879 the concept that Kevin Sullivan and Cactus have teamwork going on. Here, 4590 03:49:34.559 --> 03:49:37.840 Sullivan's in one of the arms of Paul Orndorf. What 4591 03:49:38.000 --> 03:49:39.719 in God's name or they're waiting for I'm starting to 4592 03:49:39.719 --> 03:49:41.879 ask myself. I think they're doing something in the crowd. 4593 03:49:42.159 --> 03:49:44.719 There is a moment where the crowd starts to do 4594 03:49:44.840 --> 03:49:47.680 something to distract themselves. They do the wave, the bash 4595 03:49:47.760 --> 03:49:51.079 at the beach wave. That's very fitting there take that work, 4596 03:49:51.319 --> 03:49:52.920 but that slows the match down even more as they 4597 03:49:52.959 --> 03:49:55.280 wait for that to pass. Cactus in and sits on 4598 03:49:55.319 --> 03:49:57.319 a front face lock. I do think there's probably some 4599 03:49:57.440 --> 03:49:59.639 time thing too. They seem to drag this match out 4600 03:49:59.639 --> 03:50:02.239 to hit artificial time. I really feel that way, Yep. 4601 03:50:02.399 --> 03:50:04.040 I don't know if Hogan wasn't ready, or if Hogan 4602 03:50:04.079 --> 03:50:05.639 didn't want to go to the ring till a particular time, 4603 03:50:05.680 --> 03:50:08.280 whatever it was. Yeah, to your point, they show Aerin 4604 03:50:08.319 --> 03:50:12.040 and Bill Shaw paying attention. Heenan says, which one Shaw 4605 03:50:16.399 --> 03:50:18.319 he's such a Tony says, we'll have that one on 4606 03:50:18.399 --> 03:50:20.479 tap when we negotiate your next contract. That you don't 4607 03:50:20.479 --> 03:50:23.600 know the difference between the two. No, he says, Wait 4608 03:50:23.639 --> 03:50:26.600 a minute. Tony says, we got that one on tap 4609 03:50:26.680 --> 03:50:30.479 brain for the next contract negotiation, and Heenan says, don't worry, 4610 03:50:30.520 --> 03:50:35.399 I'll sign him another word, thinking he's he's on the 4611 03:50:35.559 --> 03:50:38.840 W'SB side of the contract negotiation that Tony's talking about. 4612 03:50:39.719 --> 03:50:45.399 Sonyon No positioned strategically behind Hank Aaron and Bill Shaw, 4613 03:50:45.520 --> 03:50:47.479 no doubt, so that he can report back to Eric 4614 03:50:47.600 --> 03:50:50.479 what it is they were talking about. Of course, Sonnyono 4615 03:50:50.520 --> 03:50:53.479 always watching very closely with a fujisque smile on his face. 4616 03:50:54.200 --> 03:50:56.879 Definitely not up to no good full. 4617 03:50:57.680 --> 03:51:00.799 There's a so who is so who sitting next to 4618 03:51:00.920 --> 03:51:04.159 Chris Lemon, Because it's a guy who looks like he's 4619 03:51:04.200 --> 03:51:08.319 like two people to the left of Chris Lemon glasses on. Yeah, 4620 03:51:08.360 --> 03:51:12.319 he looks like Danny McBride and the Righteous Gemstones and 4621 03:51:12.639 --> 03:51:15.840 and uh that. But what really matters is that there's 4622 03:51:15.840 --> 03:51:18.600 a woman who's sitting next to him who at one 4623 03:51:18.639 --> 03:51:21.520 point looks like she's sucking his ear. Really, who I 4624 03:51:21.600 --> 03:51:24.319 missed that. Yeah, it's like she's just like, I don't 4625 03:51:24.360 --> 03:51:26.959 know what what she's doing. I imagine she's not sucking 4626 03:51:27.040 --> 03:51:29.920 his ear, but like she just I don't know, she's 4627 03:51:30.120 --> 03:51:33.000 just like in the side of his head. It's very weird. 4628 03:51:34.760 --> 03:51:37.840 The guy with the glasses, those Hollywood glasses, is Howard Hughes. 4629 03:51:38.639 --> 03:51:40.760 Howard Hughes was Hogan's big attorney. 4630 03:51:42.239 --> 03:51:42.959 Howard Hughes. 4631 03:51:43.200 --> 03:51:45.120 Yeah, that's his name. It's hard to believe. 4632 03:51:45.280 --> 03:51:47.280 It's that's his name. His name is Howard Hughes. 4633 03:51:48.360 --> 03:51:55.600 Wow, he is a Hulk's attorney. And then next to 4634 03:51:55.719 --> 03:51:58.079 him or maybe two people next to him is Peter Young, 4635 03:51:58.159 --> 03:52:00.440 who was a Hulk Coogan's agent as well as the 4636 03:52:00.479 --> 03:52:03.479 agent of George Foreman, explaining why those two were together 4637 03:52:03.559 --> 03:52:05.879 and why, you know, why they work together to promote 4638 03:52:05.879 --> 03:52:09.600 passion the beach rather easily, and why Hogan can try 4639 03:52:09.639 --> 03:52:11.840 to credibly claim that he was in line for the 4640 03:52:11.879 --> 03:52:15.600 George Foreman grill opportunity. That they called Peter Young about 4641 03:52:15.680 --> 03:52:17.959 him before they called Peter Young about George Foreman. 4642 03:52:18.360 --> 03:52:20.079 So yeah, I'm sure they did. 4643 03:52:20.280 --> 03:52:22.280 Sure, Yeah, he just wasn't home at the time and 4644 03:52:22.319 --> 03:52:24.520 they had to move on. They just couldn't they wanted Hogan, 4645 03:52:24.639 --> 03:52:27.559 But only between the hours of one and three pm 4646 03:52:27.719 --> 03:52:29.719 do they want Hogan. And then they just stopped watching, 4647 03:52:29.799 --> 03:52:34.000 and all of a sudden, it would appear so fully 4648 03:52:34.040 --> 03:52:35.639 clips the face of Paul or Dwarf in the corner, 4649 03:52:35.639 --> 03:52:37.319 attack to Sullivan, who comes in with right hands and 4650 03:52:37.799 --> 03:52:39.719 an arm ringer still working on the arm here just 4651 03:52:39.719 --> 03:52:42.559 to keep the crowd enthralled. Paul Roman now on Sully, 4652 03:52:42.639 --> 03:52:44.879 throwing rights and lefts in the corner. Sullivan fires back, 4653 03:52:44.920 --> 03:52:48.239 and they're going back and forth, big slap, chop and 4654 03:52:48.479 --> 03:52:50.799 right hand to a battle. Cactus comes in, becomes a 4655 03:52:50.879 --> 03:52:53.440 peer four as Orndorf sneaks in a big pile driver 4656 03:52:53.639 --> 03:52:56.559 on Kevin Sullivan and gets too. He does Steve Sullivan 4657 03:52:56.600 --> 03:52:58.040 putting the foot of his brother on the rope to 4658 03:52:58.079 --> 03:53:00.000 save him from defeat. The crowd stomped. 4659 03:53:00.200 --> 03:53:00.319 Now. 4660 03:53:00.360 --> 03:53:02.079 I can't tell if they're doing that though, to amuse 4661 03:53:02.120 --> 03:53:04.840 themselves and distract themselves, or because they're into the actual match. 4662 03:53:05.200 --> 03:53:07.559 Kevin Sullivan sits down with a jawbreaker on the sleeper 4663 03:53:07.559 --> 03:53:10.040 holding Paul Ooren Dwarf Roma comes in. Then they're exchanging 4664 03:53:10.079 --> 03:53:13.399 all over again, rewinding the whole exchange over and over again. 4665 03:53:13.840 --> 03:53:16.520 Is Kevin Sullen Rombo the body slam leaps to the 4666 03:53:16.600 --> 03:53:18.559 ropes like he used to do. But yeah, to your point, 4667 03:53:18.799 --> 03:53:20.639 one of the great things about Pretty Wonderful is when 4668 03:53:20.719 --> 03:53:23.959 Roma does that elbow so high from the sky, it 4669 03:53:24.200 --> 03:53:26.120 jumps to the ropes in a fluid motion. But if 4670 03:53:26.120 --> 03:53:28.239 he's going to trip doing that spot like he did here, 4671 03:53:28.639 --> 03:53:30.959 now all of a sudden, it just looks like Amer shower. Yep, 4672 03:53:32.360 --> 03:53:34.399 Heenan does say his cat like agility, and Roma hits 4673 03:53:34.399 --> 03:53:36.920 the elbow with basically no impact. So he tries it 4674 03:53:37.000 --> 03:53:39.639 again and gets to Now they're trading off sneak attacks 4675 03:53:39.639 --> 03:53:42.520 behind the referees back as Orndwarf does his wiggle need 4676 03:53:42.719 --> 03:53:44.840 elbow drop to no response whatsoever. 4677 03:53:45.120 --> 03:53:45.719 That is not good. 4678 03:53:45.760 --> 03:53:48.520 If you're gonna do that big involved yeah, you know, 4679 03:53:48.879 --> 03:53:51.520 gyrating elbow drop that Paul En Dwarf used to do, 4680 03:53:51.559 --> 03:53:53.000 at least make sure the crowd gives a fuck. 4681 03:53:53.680 --> 03:53:57.040 It's it's fucking weird, so weird, it's it's very weird, 4682 03:53:57.120 --> 03:54:00.200 and it's like it's too much. He's trying to he's 4683 03:54:00.239 --> 03:54:03.600 trying to get a reaction as opposed to just getting 4684 03:54:03.639 --> 03:54:06.840 a reaction absolutely bad news. Big difference. 4685 03:54:07.159 --> 03:54:09.159 This match brought to you by Crickets Wireless, as far 4686 03:54:09.200 --> 03:54:12.120 as I can tell, so much for vets who know 4687 03:54:12.159 --> 03:54:14.079 how to adjust to the crowd or whatever the fuck. 4688 03:54:14.840 --> 03:54:17.239 Sullivan backs him up, elbows, runs into the sleeper of 4689 03:54:17.280 --> 03:54:19.520 Paul Oorndorf. Sully runs him into the corner to break 4690 03:54:19.600 --> 03:54:22.159 that up, and then Orndwarf tags in Paul Roma, who 4691 03:54:22.200 --> 03:54:24.760 stays on Sullivan. It's a high elbow for two. Sully 4692 03:54:24.840 --> 03:54:27.159 then kind of just I don't know, Judo throws to 4693 03:54:27.239 --> 03:54:30.760 get free and collides with Roma, and then Rome's around 4694 03:54:30.840 --> 03:54:32.920 spinning around. Heenan says, he doesn't know where he's at. 4695 03:54:33.120 --> 03:54:34.479 Of course he's had a lot of days like that, 4696 03:54:34.920 --> 03:54:38.239 Bobby Heenan says of Kevin Sullivan, Dave Sullivan slapping the match, 4697 03:54:38.239 --> 03:54:39.559 trying to get the crowd in. When is paul O 4698 03:54:39.559 --> 03:54:41.760 and Dwarf is in going off on Sully who's being 4699 03:54:41.799 --> 03:54:44.600 held in place. Sally does not make a great baby 4700 03:54:44.639 --> 03:54:47.959 face in peril here, I determined as Kevin Sullivan's whipped 4701 03:54:47.959 --> 03:54:49.280 to the corner and gets the boot up on Orn 4702 03:54:49.319 --> 03:54:51.559 Dwarf who's charging him. Tagged to Paul Roman. Now who 4703 03:54:51.600 --> 03:54:54.280 comes in just punches whipping a clothesline, and Sullivan just 4704 03:54:54.360 --> 03:54:57.479 timbers off to the side, and like, okay, it's like 4705 03:54:57.600 --> 03:54:59.399 they had the comeback six times in the match. 4706 03:54:59.479 --> 03:54:59.959 That's the problem. 4707 03:55:00.079 --> 03:55:02.879 They do the spot where Sullivan's supposed to get the 4708 03:55:02.920 --> 03:55:05.280 hot tag and then they just cut it off because 4709 03:55:05.760 --> 03:55:08.760 Cactus presumably isn't ready for hot tag rally spot, and 4710 03:55:08.840 --> 03:55:11.719 they do another sequence over again. Awful to build to 4711 03:55:11.760 --> 03:55:14.799 another tag that doesn't come. Tag after tag after tag 4712 03:55:14.879 --> 03:55:17.079 between Orndorf and Roma is they're kind of feeling around 4713 03:55:17.120 --> 03:55:19.000 in the dark for something that's going to catch the fans, 4714 03:55:19.360 --> 03:55:22.479 whipping a backdrop on Sullivan elbow drop tagging to Orndorf 4715 03:55:22.799 --> 03:55:25.239 He's gonna do the elbow again, but this time he 4716 03:55:25.319 --> 03:55:28.600 misses it, so then Orndorf gets the tag. Cactus now 4717 03:55:28.639 --> 03:55:30.840 gets the tag two to a minor pop. Cactus comes 4718 03:55:30.879 --> 03:55:33.040 in punching and headbutting, sits down on one of the 4719 03:55:33.079 --> 03:55:35.520 guys across the middle rope whip boot caught Spun and 4720 03:55:35.799 --> 03:55:38.920 Larry and almost like DDP does by Cactus, Jackie then 4721 03:55:38.959 --> 03:55:44.040 slams Roma goes for the double arm DDT Sully punches 4722 03:55:44.120 --> 03:55:47.440 Roma out, Cactus covers, Dave gets on the apron with 4723 03:55:47.520 --> 03:55:50.879 his crutch, which he had for some reason, something happens 4724 03:55:50.920 --> 03:55:54.200 and Sully like pushes Dave out of the ring and 4725 03:55:54.319 --> 03:55:56.760 he's falling and they're trying to hold on and it's terrible. 4726 03:55:57.000 --> 03:55:57.680 It is terrible. 4727 03:55:57.760 --> 03:56:00.959 They're trying to evolve Davis and you don't know who's 4728 03:56:01.000 --> 03:56:02.680 hitting who by mistake or on purpose. 4729 03:56:03.479 --> 03:56:08.600 Why don't they just have Dave like wrestle Ford fucking cactus? 4730 03:56:09.319 --> 03:56:11.000 He has a great question, I assume because he has 4731 03:56:11.000 --> 03:56:14.479 the crutch. He's probably hurt like im obile somehow, I 4732 03:56:14.520 --> 03:56:17.959 don't know, but whatever it is, all of a sudden, 4733 03:56:21.159 --> 03:56:23.840 someone trips Cactus from outside and just holds Roma. 4734 03:56:24.799 --> 03:56:28.719 Roma trips and does the Bobby Heenen type thing and 4735 03:56:28.879 --> 03:56:29.120 he just. 4736 03:56:29.159 --> 03:56:31.440 Holds the leg down and all of a sudden one two, three, 4737 03:56:31.559 --> 03:56:32.200 and follies. 4738 03:56:32.319 --> 03:56:36.040 But here's the problem. This is the problem. This is 4739 03:56:36.079 --> 03:56:43.319 the problem. Though okay, Folly gets tripped up, Roma's holding 4740 03:56:43.360 --> 03:56:48.920 the leg. Nick Patrick and Orndorf goes for the cover right, 4741 03:56:49.680 --> 03:56:52.920 and as this is happening, nick Patrick walks back around 4742 03:56:54.040 --> 03:56:59.440 and he blatantly sees Paul Romas holding Polly's leg, looks 4743 03:56:59.639 --> 03:57:02.920 right at it, but he and and not only that 4744 03:57:03.159 --> 03:57:05.079 when he goes down, he goes down to register thereecount 4745 03:57:05.079 --> 03:57:07.719 if I'm if I'm not mistake, if I'm not mistaken. 4746 03:57:08.280 --> 03:57:12.719 He's also like instead of trying to like like shifts 4747 03:57:12.760 --> 03:57:16.319 that he can't see it, he's like facing it as 4748 03:57:16.360 --> 03:57:19.399 he registers the three count like it is. It is 4749 03:57:19.520 --> 03:57:23.920 one of the fucking like what is wrong with him? 4750 03:57:25.159 --> 03:57:29.319 Basic stuff like to get right. He just it's like 4751 03:57:29.479 --> 03:57:32.680 he didn't either care or didn't understand, Like he's just 4752 03:57:33.440 --> 03:57:39.520 he's the worst. He's the absolute worst referees and and 4753 03:57:40.239 --> 03:57:44.440 like because he he just ruins wrestling by existing. 4754 03:57:44.520 --> 03:57:47.040 He wanders around like that Will Ferrell character that suddenly 4755 03:57:47.040 --> 03:57:48.680 would just walk in front of the camera during an 4756 03:57:48.799 --> 03:57:52.479 SNL skit. Remember yeah, right right right when he's out 4757 03:57:52.520 --> 03:57:53.440 the pasture. 4758 03:57:53.639 --> 03:57:55.879 Right he said, oh, all right, I guess Penn, we're 4759 03:57:55.920 --> 03:57:59.159 going for it.

I'll tell you where I was at. I 4774 03:58:34.879 --> 03:58:36.280 wrote the worst match I've ever seen. 4775 03:58:36.479 --> 03:58:38.559 That's what I read.

Yes he is hard to deal with, 5125 04:16:55.959 --> 04:16:56.440 but there it is. 5126 04:16:56.680 --> 04:16:57.760 Yes he is, he says. 5127 04:16:57.760 --> 04:16:59.520 Hogan is trimmed down, say the least. 5128 04:16:59.760 --> 04:17:06.120 And he's definitely leaner that's for sure. Flair question about. 5129 04:17:05.920 --> 04:17:07.799 That, ducks under and complains of a hair poll and 5130 04:17:07.840 --> 04:17:09.559 acts like he's going to step to Jimmy hard and 5131 04:17:09.920 --> 04:17:13.040 Heenan says, I'm gonna tell all the great points about 5132 04:17:13.120 --> 04:17:15.600 hull Cogan that way when Rick beats him, so that 5133 04:17:15.680 --> 04:17:18.159 will make me feel really great. So in other words, 5134 04:17:18.200 --> 04:17:19.959 he's he's trying to like come up with a reason 5135 04:17:20.000 --> 04:17:23.040 that he is a hull Cogan hater would be emphasizing 5136 04:17:23.120 --> 04:17:25.799 so many positive qualities during the call of Hull Cogan, 5137 04:17:26.719 --> 04:17:29.120 So credit to him for thinking that one through. 5138 04:17:29.719 --> 04:17:31.079 Yeah, because they're gonna. 5139 04:17:31.000 --> 04:17:33.760 Definitely when Bush comes to shove, they're gonna want Heenan 5140 04:17:33.799 --> 04:17:37.559 to celebrate that bought that hul Cogan's in WCW more 5141 04:17:37.639 --> 04:17:39.760 than to cry it. So Flair ducks under a lock 5142 04:17:39.799 --> 04:17:41.799 up and struts around a bit and they cite the uh, 5143 04:17:43.680 --> 04:17:47.959 they cite something, so the Flair tugs the rope. Heenan says, 5144 04:17:48.000 --> 04:17:50.520 no one's buying popcorn or in the kitchen. They are 5145 04:17:50.600 --> 04:17:52.840 glued to this match right now, which feels accurate, which 5146 04:17:52.840 --> 04:17:53.479 is always nice. 5147 04:17:55.680 --> 04:17:58.159 Yeah, yeah, I mean, listen, I agreed to a degree 5148 04:17:58.239 --> 04:18:01.600 that that is the case. It's still it's a weird 5149 04:18:01.680 --> 04:18:02.600 bold claim. 5150 04:18:02.520 --> 04:18:05.520 But yeah, just one guy getting popcorn and he ruins 5151 04:18:05.559 --> 04:18:07.440 the whole thing. But right, right, I don't know when 5152 04:18:07.440 --> 04:18:10.479 wrestler would announced. Wresting announcers make especially boisterous claims and 5153 04:18:10.520 --> 04:18:13.600 they seem like they could be borderline true. Then you 5154 04:18:13.719 --> 04:18:16.040 know you're actually dealing with something that actually is special 5155 04:18:16.200 --> 04:18:20.719 because it doesn't sound like unfounded hyperbole, which they'll say 5156 04:18:20.799 --> 04:18:23.879 whether it's justified or not. So Heenan says, talk about 5157 04:18:24.000 --> 04:18:26.639 the butterflies that both have in their stomachs. Right now, 5158 04:18:26.799 --> 04:18:28.799 is Hogan ducks under a lock up and does a 5159 04:18:28.840 --> 04:18:31.120 strut mocking Ric Flair, even combs his hair like Ric 5160 04:18:31.159 --> 04:18:33.959 Flair does, brushes it back, does the woo, and they 5161 04:18:34.040 --> 04:18:35.399 kind of love it. They love that he's in here 5162 04:18:35.840 --> 04:18:37.760 cocky enough to mock the nature boy and Flair has 5163 04:18:37.799 --> 04:18:40.159 to stand there and take it. The way he popped 5164 04:18:40.239 --> 04:18:42.079 up with his hips with his hands on his hips, Hogan, 5165 04:18:42.120 --> 04:18:45.479 it's so funny. Yeah, the way he's brilliant doing the 5166 04:18:46.000 --> 04:18:49.959 right guard pose or whatever it is. Hogan, think of 5167 04:18:50.000 --> 04:18:52.319 his face like stroke at his chin at wrestlemane. 5168 04:18:52.399 --> 04:18:57.760 Oh god, he's so annoying. He's annoying brook teen. He's 5169 04:18:57.760 --> 04:18:58.799 excited though, Yeah. 5170 04:18:58.639 --> 04:19:01.680 A little eight year old to whatever she is. Yeah, yeah, 5171 04:19:01.719 --> 04:19:04.440 good eyes. She's ready lock up. Flair to the headlock 5172 04:19:04.479 --> 04:19:06.000 and the hammer lock, and he picks the leg of 5173 04:19:06.000 --> 04:19:07.639 the Holkster and hammer locks him. And you can hear 5174 04:19:07.719 --> 04:19:10.399 the fans like that that Flair is out wrestling Hogan 5175 04:19:10.440 --> 04:19:12.399 and Flair puts the arm ring around Holk gets onto 5176 04:19:12.440 --> 04:19:15.079 his knee and Tony says, fans are responding to every 5177 04:19:15.159 --> 04:19:17.440 movie here as Flair is creaking the wrist, Hogan gets up. 5178 04:19:17.760 --> 04:19:20.159 Nothing's happened. I know there's work in the arm like 5179 04:19:20.440 --> 04:19:24.319 nothing like Shavani. They haven't had enough moves for people 5180 04:19:24.360 --> 04:19:25.639 to react like they've done nothing. 5181 04:19:25.760 --> 04:19:27.600 They do love that Flair put Hogan on the mat. 5182 04:19:27.639 --> 04:19:31.120 They do love that. But Flair then trips him down 5183 04:19:31.200 --> 04:19:33.959 and maintains control. Flair with a woo for the people 5184 04:19:34.079 --> 04:19:36.239 and talk about how even the referee must be nervous. 5185 04:19:36.719 --> 04:19:37.440 This is so big. 5186 04:19:37.879 --> 04:19:39.639 That's what they say in commentary, which I thought was 5187 04:19:39.639 --> 04:19:41.520 a nice touch. They don't want to make it. You know, 5188 04:19:41.600 --> 04:19:43.440 the ref is feeling pressure too. They point out, he 5189 04:19:43.479 --> 04:19:45.159 doesn't want to make a bad call or have to 5190 04:19:45.280 --> 04:19:48.200 disqualify somebody and be the bad guy and then ruin 5191 04:19:48.280 --> 04:19:51.120 this historic matchup. I really like that one, kind of 5192 04:19:51.120 --> 04:19:52.920 getting you into the psychology of the ref a bit. 5193 04:19:52.959 --> 04:19:53.840 They don't do that enough. 5194 04:19:54.959 --> 04:19:55.239 Hogan. 5195 04:19:55.360 --> 04:19:57.399 Yeah, I agree, you know what I mean? It works, Yeah, 5196 04:19:57.479 --> 04:19:59.360 making them feel kind of human too. You don't want 5197 04:19:59.360 --> 04:20:02.520 to overemphasize because the ref should never be two gratuitous 5198 04:20:02.520 --> 04:20:04.399 a part of the match, but to never mention them 5199 04:20:04.600 --> 04:20:07.319 it's kind of weird too, agreed. Hogan comes up and 5200 04:20:07.360 --> 04:20:10.399 Flair yanks him down again. Tony says, Sherry is barred 5201 04:20:10.479 --> 04:20:14.959 last Saturday. However, Flair made sure that Nick Bockwinkle told 5202 04:20:15.040 --> 04:20:17.159 us she would be here at ringside, so she was 5203 04:20:17.239 --> 04:20:20.319 instrumental and Flair becoming the unified champion, they point out, 5204 04:20:20.319 --> 04:20:23.120 and she will they expect to have an involvement here. 5205 04:20:23.559 --> 04:20:27.120 Hogan is reversed and pulls down Rick Flair to will pop. 5206 04:20:27.440 --> 04:20:29.479 He does the new Japan arm bar for the industry. 5207 04:20:29.520 --> 04:20:33.479 You know that goes, I mean, Jesus Christ, he definitely, 5208 04:20:33.760 --> 04:20:38.000 you know, he steps, he does, he does. Listen, he 5209 04:20:38.120 --> 04:20:41.639 brought in he brought in his arsenal from from Japan 5210 04:20:43.200 --> 04:20:46.479 because he's here to wrestle. Not just fight the bullshit 5211 04:20:46.520 --> 04:20:47.200 they do in New York. 5212 04:20:48.079 --> 04:20:50.719 Claire Flair stands up, gets on the chin and steps 5213 04:20:50.760 --> 04:20:54.120 on Hogan Hogan's face as a matter of fact, puts 5214 04:20:54.159 --> 04:20:56.319 the boot on the chin and Hogan pops up and 5215 04:20:56.360 --> 04:20:58.520 does a hoof at that one, and Flair takes off, 5216 04:20:58.799 --> 04:21:01.680 takes off, pulls sherry in front of them, immediately shield 5217 04:21:02.520 --> 04:21:05.120 fans want and this is it? 5218 04:21:05.399 --> 04:21:06.920 She fucking tons. 5219 04:21:07.159 --> 04:21:09.559 He's pointing at her, she's pointing at him. 5220 04:21:10.680 --> 04:21:14.000 What kind of champion is amazing? It's amazing. 5221 04:21:14.440 --> 04:21:16.840 Jaw jacking, Flair keeping it school on the floor, not worried, 5222 04:21:16.879 --> 04:21:19.200 Hogan doing this, arms back and forth, pumped up thing. 5223 04:21:19.760 --> 04:21:21.959 They get back in the ring, lock up, Hogan shifts 5224 04:21:21.959 --> 04:21:25.319 to the drop toe hold because again, we're not on 5225 04:21:25.840 --> 04:21:26.920 the side of the Pacific. 5226 04:21:27.000 --> 04:21:28.840 You think we are, No, we're not. 5227 04:21:29.799 --> 04:21:32.280 Is concerned that ring at bash of the beach is 5228 04:21:32.360 --> 04:21:33.559 the jurisdiction of Japan. 5229 04:21:34.440 --> 04:21:37.799 I guess. So that's what I'm learning, because he's working 5230 04:21:38.120 --> 04:21:42.000 holds like he's exactly he is out there. He's chain grappling. 5231 04:21:42.120 --> 04:21:47.760 Thank you, Okay, the chain is out and he's grappling 5232 04:21:47.879 --> 04:21:49.799 off the chain in a lot of ways. What the 5233 04:21:49.879 --> 04:21:53.319 fuck's amazing. So he does really drop to such a 5234 04:21:53.399 --> 04:21:54.079 wild thing. 5235 04:21:55.799 --> 04:22:01.280 Drop toe hold, like, come on, Hogan, big goofy ass 5236 04:22:01.319 --> 04:22:01.840 hole Kogan. 5237 04:22:02.000 --> 04:22:05.159 He's seriously like, yeah, exactly with his fucking like tree 5238 04:22:05.280 --> 04:22:09.000 trunk legs, you know, like these these these long things, 5239 04:22:09.040 --> 04:22:12.600 and he's just dropping down. God trip that, like, brother, 5240 04:22:12.879 --> 04:22:16.079 you'll do I think we should do drop toward calling 5241 04:22:16.120 --> 04:22:18.559 it in the locker room, you know. Flair to the 5242 04:22:18.600 --> 04:22:20.959 middle rope, Ahogan running back on Flair's head on the ropes, 5243 04:22:21.000 --> 04:22:24.760 and Flair comes up and charges and uh goes into 5244 04:22:24.799 --> 04:22:28.840 the corner. Flair bumping for these hard and fast. He's 5245 04:22:28.920 --> 04:22:31.399 knocking them around. Flair is so intense, the way he's 5246 04:22:31.399 --> 04:22:34.040 taking these shots. Whipped to the corner, Hogan clips him 5247 04:22:34.040 --> 04:22:36.040 with the lariat and Flair flops backwards into the center 5248 04:22:36.079 --> 04:22:38.520 of the ring, begging off. Now back up whipping A 5249 04:22:38.559 --> 04:22:40.760 boot goes up, but Flair hangs on and bales before 5250 04:22:40.799 --> 04:22:43.639 he eats the big boot. Flair gets behind Sherry again 5251 04:22:43.719 --> 04:22:45.959 to shield himself. Hogan comes out with the fist cock. 5252 04:22:46.319 --> 04:22:48.520 Jimmy Hart at this point comes over and Hogan pushes 5253 04:22:48.639 --> 04:22:51.040 Sherry off to the side and Flair catches Hogan on 5254 04:22:51.079 --> 04:22:52.840 the way in with the knee of the face and 5255 04:22:53.040 --> 04:22:55.319 some boots to the corner. Chopped by the nature boy, 5256 04:22:55.360 --> 04:22:58.280 Hogan stumbles out and another from Flair, and we get 5257 04:22:58.319 --> 04:23:01.319 the over the shoulder shot of Shaquila Neil watching very intently. 5258 04:23:01.360 --> 04:23:04.399 He just takes it all in. He doesn't disappear. Flaire 5259 04:23:04.440 --> 04:23:05.719 goes to the gut and her right hand to the 5260 04:23:05.760 --> 04:23:08.079 face and a snapmre. He calls for the knee drop. 5261 04:23:08.159 --> 04:23:10.840 We can hear it loudly on the broadcast. He does 5262 04:23:11.159 --> 04:23:14.280 hear that, and then indeed he does it. Hogan comes 5263 04:23:14.319 --> 04:23:16.600 up hoofing, though he comes up hoofing from the knee drop, 5264 04:23:16.600 --> 04:23:18.200 and Flare is begging off in the corner. At that 5265 04:23:18.479 --> 04:23:20.719 Hogan does a corner mount ring down, some punches, then 5266 04:23:20.760 --> 04:23:22.959 waves the finger. He's not gonna punch, He's gonna bite. 5267 04:23:23.639 --> 04:23:26.360 He starts biting with Claire in the forehead. Finally, Flair 5268 04:23:26.399 --> 04:23:28.920 punches away at the count of nine, corner to corner. 5269 04:23:28.920 --> 04:23:29.200 Whipon. 5270 04:23:29.200 --> 04:23:32.360 Flaiir bounces off, Glariot down goes Flair. Flare's begging off again. 5271 04:23:32.440 --> 04:23:34.440 Hogan sends him into the far corner and then the 5272 04:23:34.479 --> 04:23:38.520 opposite corner. A right hand wobbles the nature boy. Sherry 5273 04:23:38.559 --> 04:23:41.559 grabs the ankle on the ropes and Rick ambushes him 5274 04:23:41.600 --> 04:23:43.639 with a flying knee to the back. Sherry with her 5275 04:23:43.680 --> 04:23:46.280 hands on her hips, doing a little gloating dance, very 5276 04:23:46.319 --> 04:23:48.440 proud of herself at ringside, and he says, Hulk was 5277 04:23:48.520 --> 04:23:51.680 going to kick her. That's what happened. That's Flaire chops 5278 04:23:51.760 --> 04:23:54.040 Hulk up and over the ropes, Hulk taking the big 5279 04:23:54.120 --> 04:23:56.840 bump off the chop man. Holp's here to each chump 5280 04:23:56.920 --> 04:23:57.719 plunge over the top. 5281 04:23:58.520 --> 04:24:01.840 He's listen again. He's here, he's here to work. He's 5282 04:24:01.840 --> 04:24:05.200 got his boots on. Okay, boots are on. He's ready 5283 04:24:05.280 --> 04:24:07.159 to go. And uh. 5284 04:24:11.799 --> 04:24:12.040 I just. 5285 04:24:14.120 --> 04:24:15.959 Like, can you imagine that? Part of me was one 5286 04:24:16.120 --> 04:24:19.879 thinking to myself, so so so Flair's got Hogan going 5287 04:24:19.959 --> 04:24:23.319 for the ride, and what if what if Flair fucking 5288 04:24:23.479 --> 04:24:25.399 just took Hogan right in front of his family and 5289 04:24:25.479 --> 04:24:29.399 just fucking took a razor to Hogan's head right in 5290 04:24:29.479 --> 04:24:32.280 front of his fucking kid kids, you know, and his 5291 04:24:32.399 --> 04:24:36.559 wife and Chris Lemon Hogan agrees too, you know, exactly, yeah, exactly, 5292 04:24:36.600 --> 04:24:40.520 that's the thing, Brothers, some color dude, Let's get some 5293 04:24:40.680 --> 04:24:44.280 hisy dude, and get some color right in front of 5294 04:24:44.319 --> 04:24:47.159 the fan. Brother, I love it. That's great idea. Maybe 5295 04:24:47.200 --> 04:24:49.079 we could stab him in the head with a fork too, 5296 04:24:49.120 --> 04:24:53.000 He's got that ball and there we go. Oh god, 5297 04:24:53.639 --> 04:24:54.799 this is a fucking vile. 5298 04:24:54.719 --> 04:24:56.799 Things that could have been. After Flair chops Hogan out 5299 04:24:56.840 --> 04:24:59.040 of the ring, But what does happen to Sherry grabs 5300 04:24:59.079 --> 04:25:01.120 a red a folding chair, she lifts it up and 5301 04:25:01.239 --> 04:25:04.840 Jimmy Hart makes this the save to a pop, takes 5302 04:25:04.879 --> 04:25:06.760 it away and here we see Linda watching in the 5303 04:25:06.760 --> 04:25:09.399 front row as Flaire stomps from the apron to Hulk's head. 5304 04:25:09.600 --> 04:25:12.040 Flaire rams Hulk into the guardrail. Hogan chance break out. 5305 04:25:12.159 --> 04:25:14.399 As Hoglan's rolled back into the ring, Flair climbs up 5306 04:25:14.440 --> 04:25:17.239 and rains down a single axe handle blow. Flair walking around, 5307 04:25:17.319 --> 04:25:19.879 pointing and talking shit to Bill Shaw and Tony and 5308 04:25:19.959 --> 04:25:24.120 Oki Aaron, Hank Aaron, and then he turns Hulk's body 5309 04:25:24.200 --> 04:25:26.639 around on the mattin lines up the knee drop perfectly. 5310 04:25:27.639 --> 04:25:30.479 Heenan says, don't waste a second, Rick, don't waste a second. 5311 04:25:30.600 --> 04:25:33.079 That's just such a wonderful attitud from Bobby Heena to 5312 04:25:33.120 --> 04:25:36.000 be saying that because he's still nervous, and he still 5313 04:25:36.200 --> 04:25:38.120 wants Rick to just grab the victory as soon as 5314 04:25:38.159 --> 04:25:40.680 you can possibly get it. It's such a lack of confidence. 5315 04:25:40.719 --> 04:25:43.239 You know that Hogan isn't gonna at some point come back. 5316 04:25:43.879 --> 04:25:46.159 Jimmy Hart with the megaphone gets the Hogan chant going. 5317 04:25:46.399 --> 04:25:48.319 Heenan tells him to shut up, but they don't. To 5318 04:25:48.399 --> 04:25:50.600 the corner, they go and Flare with the right hands. 5319 04:25:50.719 --> 04:25:53.600 Hogan starts firing back and takes some chops and fires 5320 04:25:53.639 --> 04:25:56.280 through and throws chops of his own right hand drops 5321 04:25:56.280 --> 04:25:56.920 the nature boy. 5322 04:25:57.239 --> 04:25:58.120 Heen doing the hole. 5323 04:25:58.200 --> 04:26:01.840 Come on, come on. When Flare starts losing ground the 5324 04:26:01.920 --> 04:26:04.719 greatest things in wrestling. When he does that, Flair begs off. 5325 04:26:04.840 --> 04:26:05.959 Oh talk about it. 5326 04:26:07.040 --> 04:26:12.040 It's just I mean, all of this between Heenan and 5327 04:26:12.479 --> 04:26:18.000 his reactions Flair Flair. When when Flair backs off Hogan, 5328 04:26:19.760 --> 04:26:22.079 We've seen him do the same thing a million times 5329 04:26:22.159 --> 04:26:24.600 to other people, but when he does it with Hogan, 5330 04:26:24.760 --> 04:26:28.879 there's something about it I just cannot describe. It's there's 5331 04:26:28.920 --> 04:26:32.399 something more electric about it. There's something that it means 5332 04:26:32.680 --> 04:26:37.760 more when it's Hogan who's not responding to Flair's yes moves, 5333 04:26:38.760 --> 04:26:39.639 It's just it's great. 5334 04:26:39.719 --> 04:26:41.959 There just seems to be more genuine fear in Flaire's 5335 04:26:41.959 --> 04:26:44.280 eyes that there is absolutely nothing he can truly do 5336 04:26:44.399 --> 04:26:46.799 to hurt this man. Yeah, and the way Hogan carries 5337 04:26:46.879 --> 04:26:49.399 himself and the size differential is perfect to get that across, 5338 04:26:49.920 --> 04:26:54.079 Like even Stain similarly sized to Flair. So it was like, yes, 5339 04:26:54.159 --> 04:26:56.159 it was hard to believe that Flair was really freaking 5340 04:26:56.200 --> 04:26:58.639 out that his chops weren't working. But with Hogan, it's like, 5341 04:26:58.719 --> 04:27:02.000 oh my god, this guy keeps coming forward and and 5342 04:27:02.280 --> 04:27:05.319 and you know what adds to it, honestly for this 5343 04:27:05.440 --> 04:27:11.520 particular match is Tony because there is something just I 5344 04:27:11.879 --> 04:27:18.159 love hearing how passionate Tony Shavanni gets when Hogan is 5345 04:27:18.239 --> 04:27:21.959 like getting on the attack, an attack with Hogan. 5346 04:27:23.760 --> 04:27:31.719 Shut up, he's taken the tow. 5347 04:27:34.280 --> 04:27:34.920 My mom. 5348 04:27:40.479 --> 04:27:43.559 Took his desk top and he's walking right straight toward 5349 04:27:43.600 --> 04:27:44.319 the nighttime. 5350 04:27:44.040 --> 04:27:49.799 Boy again fucking Bravo, Like like Chavanni is in there, 5351 04:27:50.200 --> 04:27:54.360 he is, he's fucking money all right, like you know, 5352 04:27:56.479 --> 04:28:02.319 really he's he's he he brings such a passion like 5353 04:28:02.680 --> 04:28:06.600 you get you feel like he's genuinely excited that Hulk 5354 04:28:06.639 --> 04:28:08.719 Hogan is there.

And yeah, so heen is losing his mind. 5364 04:28:37.159 --> 04:28:38.799 Flare begs off hold him with the right hand. Flair 5365 04:28:38.840 --> 04:28:40.559 drops down with a double leg and tries to get 5366 04:28:40.879 --> 04:28:42.840 two feet on the rope to cheat and get a count. 5367 04:28:43.280 --> 04:28:43.879 But no count. 5368 04:28:44.159 --> 04:28:46.399 I don't even know why the ref didn't bother Flair 5369 04:28:46.479 --> 04:28:49.319 with some chops corner corner reversed and Flair hits Hulk 5370 04:28:49.479 --> 04:28:51.360 drops him with a Larry Flair hits the buckle, and 5371 04:28:51.479 --> 04:28:53.200 Hulk drops him with the Big lariat and covers him 5372 04:28:53.200 --> 04:28:55.520 for two.

He said 5493 04:34:21.439 --> 04:34:24.479 it's fine for Nick to continue the match since Randy 5494 04:34:24.599 --> 04:34:27.799 is unable to.
