Speaker 1: It's the Lapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast with Jack and Carna
Speaker 1: CEO and JP Sorrow.
Speaker 2: And we're back Blapsed Fan Wrestling Podcast WWF European Rampage Again,
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two, Munich, Germany. Yes, yes, yes, the opposite
Speaker 2: of nine indeed open as ring Fri I always used
Speaker 2: to do from what we understand in Germany with the
Speaker 2: Metallica the struggle within riff Hong Kong Hong Kng Kong
Speaker 2: Hong Hong Kong Kong Hung trying not to make it
Speaker 2: sound like Drew mc entire song, but I just can't
Speaker 2: help that.
Speaker 3: It does kind of it does kind of have that vibe,
Speaker 3: doesn't it.
Speaker 2: And ring Fry a German phrase that translates roughly to
Speaker 2: let the fight begin or the ring is free whenever
Speaker 2: you want to interpret it as say that again the
Speaker 2: ring is free and or let the fight begin.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, if that's what you want to be
Speaker 3: Luke cha libre is free. Fight.
Speaker 2: There's this idea of free having something to do with
Speaker 2: pro wrestling. No, it's always it's hardly ever free.
Speaker 3: I would say, it's like the least free sport. There is.
Speaker 3: There is no freedom in this sport, because it's all predetermined,
Speaker 3: it's all fake. Yeah. Yeah, there's no expression, there's nothing.
Speaker 2: There's justly queuing to what the the creative masterminds have
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 3: That is the thing. There is no freedom of expression
Speaker 3: in a wrestling ring.
Speaker 2: So they show these slow motion clips while the song
Speaker 2: plays this sort of pixelated effect.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know what to call it. It's kind
Speaker 3: of like washed out or something. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 3: definitely heavily filtered. They have some kind of yeah, just
Speaker 3: a bunch of filters on it to make it look
Speaker 3: cool and edgy, and you.
Speaker 2: Know, specially it looks like a watercolor painting, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: like shit. Basically Hogan and the rest doing their thing,
Speaker 2: and then they cut to Olympia. How of course, the
Speaker 2: arena of this event took place in as mentioned in
Speaker 2: Part one, was part of the nineteen seventy two Munich Games.
Speaker 2: And they play the Olympic song, don't they.
Speaker 3: Well, it's not the Olympic song. Oh again, this is
Speaker 3: Aaron Copeland's fanfare for the common Man.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: In fact, fla Flatir came out to this song for
Speaker 3: a while. Amazing came out to this version. And then
Speaker 3: it cuts into this crazy, bizarre, Like I said, pop
Speaker 3: rock version that I just you know here it is.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I didn't know what to fucking do with this,
Speaker 3: but here it sounds like nineteen ninety two. Oh, it
Speaker 3: totally does. And again it's great because I mean, listen,
Speaker 3: Fanfare for the common Man is one of the great songs.
Speaker 3: But it's so uniquely American. Yeah, that it's so weird
Speaker 3: that they would have that as a theme for a
Speaker 3: German show. Why do I associate it with the Olympics.
Speaker 3: It sounds a lot like it. Okay, it has a
Speaker 3: lot of similarities. It isn't dundt it would be dum dum,
Speaker 3: du du dud. That's the other that's the kind of
Speaker 3: the older Olympic thing that that it kind of more represents.
Speaker 2: Got it wonderful And yeah, I can get behind that
Speaker 2: being the soundtrack to nineties w w F. Absolutely absolutely
Speaker 2: just not right. It kind of smacks of the Colisseum
Speaker 2: video open song Yes you have this, you know this
Speaker 2: kind of mood center and they're showing while the song
Speaker 2: plays the arena.
Speaker 3: They're also got a little bit of a vibe of
Speaker 3: what would become the money Net Raw theme. No, no, no,
Speaker 3: you know, that's that's the raw. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I wonder if Jim Johnston was inspired or he just
Speaker 2: ripped it off. Well, what's the difference, Yeah, exactly. So
Speaker 2: you see w W fan Club members holding you know,
Speaker 2: big white sheets that say w W Fan Club gurst
Speaker 2: In on it, and people just rejoicing at the fact
Speaker 2: that w w F is in town. It's kind of
Speaker 2: a really nice, kind of sweeping look at the media
Speaker 2: that they brought to Munich to you know, Brea and
Speaker 2: Piper t shirts and a European Rampage shirt and this
Speaker 2: is where you see that huge line at one of
Speaker 2: the merchandise stands, and this is where you get the
Speaker 2: logo WWF European Rampage Tour.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: There's all kinds of and then they hit like this
Speaker 2: is it right here?
Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Ben points out, well, the first part of the intro
Speaker 2: was Munich only, that is to say, scenes from Munich, Germany.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden they do like a run of
Speaker 2: the mill tour of major European landmarks. We're seeing Paris
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, and we're seeing.
Speaker 3: Can we I think we should just and you know,
Speaker 3: we can use the same thing over and over again.
Speaker 3: Let's just buy some stock footage of other countries so
Speaker 3: we can just kind of put it in whenever we
Speaker 3: need to. Well, it is a European rampage way. We
Speaker 3: are rampaging over the European planes, and therefore I believe
Speaker 3: we should have a multitude of stock infused footage.
Speaker 2: And as kind of curious as it is, it is
Speaker 2: kind of wild to see the Golden Hairsburrera a WWF
Speaker 2: wrestlers presented in another country with just a different just
Speaker 2: different tut Like this isn't how they would put it
Speaker 2: together in the States. It just it just feels different.
Speaker 2: And it's fascinating because it's like it's more regal that
Speaker 2: it's it's trying to be more respectable.
Speaker 3: And then and then it would all be it's all
Speaker 3: local crews, right as far as I know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: So that that's also kind of something that's like I'm
Speaker 3: wondering who is the who's in charge of the of
Speaker 3: the actual production of it all, like right, ye, So
Speaker 3: so therefore they're going to add their own touch within
Speaker 3: you know, within the ww's rules. And I got to
Speaker 3: actually say one thing I didn't even think about until
Speaker 3: just now is the fact that it really looks incredible
Speaker 3: because a lot of times you've seen you've seen European
Speaker 3: shows or or shows from other countries that kind of
Speaker 3: have a little bit they're either a little more house
Speaker 3: showy and they look dark, or they've got kind of
Speaker 3: a weird uh uh, like maybe it's because they use
Speaker 3: Powell instead of NTSC it's over there, and that it
Speaker 3: just always looks a little weird. But this looks like
Speaker 3: a regular old ww you know, TV taping that they
Speaker 3: would have anywhere. Yes, and it's amazing, it really is.
Speaker 2: We've lost sight of that because now you know, with
Speaker 2: digitization and four king whatever the case may be, every
Speaker 2: country looks the same because it's just a generated digital file.
Speaker 2: But my god, could you tell back then if they
Speaker 2: were emanating from Europe or not? I mean, think about
Speaker 2: that Berlin raw where Davy Boy beat Owen in ninety
Speaker 2: seven for.
Speaker 3: The up time, and it was like it was like
Speaker 3: a fucking MSG house show from nineteen seventy four.
Speaker 2: Right, it looks like it happened in the dungeon, right
Speaker 2: somehow here they had the resources. It must have been
Speaker 2: tele A five, you know, putting there know how to work,
Speaker 2: because that's a question I would like the answer to.
Speaker 2: When did WWF start bringing their own production equipment overseas?
Speaker 2: That's true, certainly they were using their own trucks and
Speaker 2: stuff when they did state side tapings and broadcasts. But
Speaker 2: I don't know when they started footing the bill. I
Speaker 2: don't even know to the extent they still do. I'm
Speaker 2: sure there is some kind of like deal where they
Speaker 2: don't actually truck everything across the ocean, but they probably
Speaker 2: have owned and operated stuff in Europe in storage or something, right.
Speaker 2: I don't think they rely on third parties too.
Speaker 3: Hey, I heard that. I heard it right there. Third
Speaker 3: that one fantastic. Hey, somebody relying on third parties? After
Speaker 3: that guy? Third party for president into the United States.
Speaker 3: You missed me yet on the ballot? Hey, you know
Speaker 3: you see what happened. You didn't put me on the ballot.
Speaker 3: I would have won. That's why you weren't on the ballot,
Speaker 3: because everybody knew that exactly. But now look at the
Speaker 3: state we're in now, turmoil we're in Munich, right is
Speaker 3: that that's not a state though? So they show repbo
Speaker 3: Man and Flare Chopping and Jake with a short arm
Speaker 3: clothesline all these people who aren't there.
Speaker 2: Right, I know, that's so funny, but they do so
Speaker 2: savage up top and his full clothing to do a leap.
Speaker 2: And they're now showing fans filing into the front door,
Speaker 2: ticket takers and empty arena with a ring at the center.
Speaker 2: Looks absolutely terrific, I mean, gorgeous, just so simple, so streamlined,
Speaker 2: so clean, so blue like. Yeah, I don't understand why
Speaker 2: they why they acted like they didn't have it figured
Speaker 2: out and dialed in. But whatever, WWF banners hanging.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what.
Speaker 3: I don't tell you why because the fans said otherwise that
Speaker 3: in the nineties, So.
Speaker 2: Waiting for the NFL to change their logo or the
Speaker 2: NBA to change there that never happens, huh to get
Speaker 2: because this is a necessary brand refresh that everything a
Speaker 2: comedy ghost.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you what we do is we actually
Speaker 3: we're ahead of the curve. See they have even yet.
Speaker 3: See we've already changed our logo a multitude of times,
Speaker 3: and yet they've never done it because they're not there yet.
Speaker 3: They're still that far behind in terms of production and availability.
Speaker 2: You can see the signs they put on the floor
Speaker 2: like arena block seat and the different seating blocks that
Speaker 2: you had to go and find your seat, and to
Speaker 2: get the shots of the announcers and the televive banner
Speaker 2: and the fans reacting and chanting, and they show some kids.
Speaker 2: This is all forward looking footage. This is like footage
Speaker 2: of people reacting to the matches, but they put in
Speaker 2: the beginning and kind of like a video package the
Speaker 2: kids with their mouth as a gape reacting to the.
Speaker 3: Message, which also makes you think that, okay, that this
Speaker 3: was definitely not live. Well, I'm not sure if you
Speaker 3: watched on telefive they showed this. I think this is
Speaker 3: just in the color. Oh I see, I see, Oh
Speaker 3: I see, I got you, I got you? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: this is we have a kind of emerged I forgot
Speaker 3: that he's got this kind of he's got this ultimate
Speaker 3: cut that he gains, right, the ultimate cut. That's right.
Speaker 2: Ben points out that some of the guys they show
Speaker 2: at this point in the tape are wearing the official
Speaker 2: Undertaker themed tour t shirt.
Speaker 6: Ah.
Speaker 3: Yes, and he.
Speaker 2: Says, well, it's normal for me to see nineteen nineties
Speaker 2: US people and old wrestling shows. It is very bizarre
Speaker 2: to see German people on an old wrestling tape that
Speaker 2: could easily appear on a recording of a birthday party
Speaker 2: from decades ago. They show great shots of the crowd
Speaker 2: clapping and you know, really seem to be enjoying themselves.
Speaker 2: Multiple cameras, uh, backstage in the truck, they keep showing,
Speaker 2: like the switcher and the fucking all the different camera angles.
Speaker 2: They're really interested in shooting the television equipment, you know,
Speaker 2: firston I know, right, that's what it points out. They
Speaker 2: somehow love of production truck footage on this show.
Speaker 3: They do.
Speaker 2: So we see the directors working away and they keep
Speaker 2: showing tape machines and this is where we cut to
Speaker 2: the in studio. Marcel Abua, television presenter of the Ring
Speaker 2: Fried television show on telefive, welcomes us into European rampage again.
Speaker 2: He's kind of against like almost like a paint brushed
Speaker 2: backdrop and this is.
Speaker 3: What but it's not real. It's blue screened or green
Speaker 3: screened or whatever. Almost certainly, yeah it's something. You know
Speaker 3: what else isn't ring real wrestling the rest of the broadcast,
Speaker 3: that's right, that's right, it's all phony. So just to
Speaker 3: get that it's not even a real broadcast. It's it's animated.
Speaker 3: Who's what it is. It's a cartoon.
Speaker 2: Fuck Ring Fry more like Ring fake, like ring fraud,
Speaker 2: more like Ring not on the level Ring Froud Ring. Look,
Speaker 2: if you want me to make you make sixteen T
Speaker 2: shirts during the steep dive like, I'll fucking do it.
Speaker 7: Ring Fry.
Speaker 3: Are you kidding? Put it down that one makes it,
Speaker 3: that one makes fraud. I got to get the ring
Speaker 3: Fry logo and then make it Ring Froud.
Speaker 2: I think I know one country will sell one shirt
Speaker 2: in and that's the extent of it exactly, which is
Speaker 2: saying more than we can for some of the shirts
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 3: I know there are listen, I'm I'm proud of the
Speaker 3: ones that haven't sold. Those ones make me happy. How
Speaker 3: do you spell ring Fry by the way.
Speaker 2: It would be our a G and that would be
Speaker 2: off f r E I f r E I. But
Speaker 2: why do you need to know that if you're going
Speaker 2: to write fraud instead?
Speaker 3: Well, because I need to see what the logo looks like.
Speaker 3: I got you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go back on the video provided to us, and
Speaker 2: it's a good point. At some point they show the
Speaker 2: logo so Marcela Bo and this is where we turn
Speaker 2: to the Homie Bend for the translation. He welcomes us
Speaker 2: to the VHS tape. He tells us that this is
Speaker 2: the right VHS for you, thank God, recorded the first
Speaker 2: WWF show that was held in Munich, and he hypes
Speaker 2: the Battle Royal, which only took place in Munich, accord
Speaker 2: to him. So that is to say, throughout the whole
Speaker 2: European rampage to our only Munich got a Battle Royal.
Speaker 2: He's saying here, which I think is true because we
Speaker 2: did go all through all the results and I don't
Speaker 2: recall another and takes us to the arena where we
Speaker 2: are welcomed for the first time to the dulcet tones
Speaker 2: of Carston Schaeffer.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, we get here in the
Speaker 3: original tv TV broadcast intro. That's right.
Speaker 2: It wasn't just Ring Fry. This, this special presentation from
Speaker 2: Munich was called Ring Fry Extra.
Speaker 3: Oh well, so okay, I'm I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2: Lee Fesseler makes it clear that we are not in
Speaker 2: the USA, but in Germany, as Carston Schaeffer adds Olympia
Speaker 2: Hall Munich and says, I can tell you it's crashing
Speaker 2: quite considerably. The first of what I assure you are
Speaker 2: many many money translations to come. That's how are you translated?
Speaker 2: I guess, I guess Ben Ben points out that sounds
Speaker 2: as unnatural and English as it did in German.
Speaker 3: Just so you know. So it's ring frie extra, just
Speaker 3: what I've been waiting for a right, Yes, that's I
Speaker 3: would like a ring ring fry with extra fry please.
Speaker 2: And how clean is that European rampage logo?
Speaker 3: Oh give it to me. That fucking thing is money,
Speaker 3: so blue and so great, it's just perfect.
Speaker 2: At the rampage banner they zoom out from that carsonly
Speaker 2: wilcomes and welcome us in. You can hear Carson say
Speaker 2: Intercontinental amidst the flurry of Germany.
Speaker 3: He mentions Macho and.
Speaker 2: Michael's and the Battle Royal. You can hear Mike McGirk
Speaker 2: as the ring announcer down on the floor.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: And what Ben tells us is at this point Uli
Speaker 2: and Carston are hyping the show and they say that
Speaker 2: nobody can predict who's going to win the Battle Royal. Well, well,
Speaker 2: some book or can, I would say, someone in the
Speaker 2: back can. Then they tell people that Marcella Bua was
Speaker 2: just in the ring firing up the crowd. So yes, well,
Speaker 2: Mike McGirk provided English language ring announcing to the crowd
Speaker 2: and Munich and tried, as we mentioned in part one,
Speaker 2: a little bit of German. It was Marcella Bua who
Speaker 2: was holding the microphone and the Howard Finkel role, if
Speaker 2: you will for the Germans. I say, both made introductions,
Speaker 2: then says we now hand over to Mike McGirk, the
Speaker 2: ultimate crush of all men here brother, the original Hawaian punch.
Speaker 2: I guess, so, well, sounds before we get there.
Speaker 3: I do want to so, like I said this, this
Speaker 3: aired on the June first, I have some fun here
Speaker 3: for us, the June first, ninety two episode of Primetime Wrestling.
Speaker 3: And this is Vince McMahon pitching to the match from
Speaker 3: the uh from the conference table that they were all
Speaker 3: sitting at. Well, right now, let's take you to action
Speaker 3: involving the hitman Brett Hart going off against Dino Bravo.
Speaker 4: This coming to you from Munich, German.
Speaker 3: I was there. I was there, No, you weren't. That's
Speaker 3: the funny part. Yeah, So that was yeah, So they
Speaker 3: even said it like they didn't even just they didn't
Speaker 3: try to hide that it was like a match that
Speaker 3: could have been anywhere. They actually said it was from Munich, Germany.
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. I didn't realize has
Speaker 3: ever aired on television. Yeah, and I do have Mike
Speaker 3: McGirk too, an Alex because this is just, I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3: hearing her speak German and then just basically I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it sounds like she just gives up
Speaker 3: and just starts announcing in English. She certainly does. Yes,
Speaker 3: something she's owned full to graft.
Speaker 2: Something she's reading off like a hostage note for the
Speaker 2: name is Mike McGirk, So here he comes, this would
Speaker 2: be this match would be Brett hardned Dino Bravo. Absolutely absolutely,
Speaker 2: And I love the lower third graphics, the chirons, they
Speaker 2: look great.
Speaker 3: They're so.
Speaker 2: That they're different than what they would put on American
Speaker 2: television at the time. There's like a different type face
Speaker 2: to them. But I really like it. There it comes,
Speaker 2: Brett Ring is as clean as can be. Red white
Speaker 2: and blue ropes, blue apron. They they for some reason
Speaker 2: seemed to insert a fake crowd pop. It really stood
Speaker 2: out to me. I don't know why I didn't. I
Speaker 2: didn't here for the rest of the.
Speaker 3: Whole broadcast anyway. That's why Brett thinks he had a
Speaker 3: great pop when he came out.
Speaker 2: Well, no, because if you look at the tape, he'd
Speaker 2: realize that his memories of people falling over the guardrails
Speaker 2: was inaccurate as well.
Speaker 3: So that's true.
Speaker 2: Sure, So yeah, that this is what Ben provides. He says,
Speaker 2: Mike McGurk starts to announce in broken German, then switches
Speaker 2: back to English. Yeah, the Hitman enters the ring and
Speaker 2: everything is completely different than in his book.
Speaker 3: Ben notes.
Speaker 2: Willian Carston says he's making his way to the ring,
Speaker 2: that they are happy to finally welcome you live for once,
Speaker 2: that Dino Bravo is the self proclaimed strongest man in
Speaker 2: the world. Yes, apparently, and they are curious who will
Speaker 2: get the glasses of the hit Man.
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the font by the way, and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: they don't use the kind of block lettering that that
Speaker 3: that w you would use. It's more it's almost like
Speaker 3: varsity letters, yes, you know, but it's still got the
Speaker 3: same You get the logo on the left and then
Speaker 3: you've got the red line that always they always had that,
Speaker 3: which was always beautiful.
Speaker 2: I was just surprised watching this how visually distinct it
Speaker 2: ended up being. And you made a great point about
Speaker 2: how the video quality was not as different as you
Speaker 2: were accustomed to, and you watched overseas at the time period.
Speaker 2: So here he comes hoisting up the strap to the
Speaker 2: adulation of the Germans as the hitman and mouthing God
Speaker 2: knows what to himself, kisses the belt before handing it
Speaker 2: to the referee as Tim won't White hoist sit up.
Speaker 2: It gets a nice pop. Brett Ringside puts some shades
Speaker 2: on a little man. You can see the Televiive logo
Speaker 2: up on the top of the screen, and yeah, it
Speaker 2: scenes for sure to kick this thing off. Brett really
Speaker 2: comes out hot. Yeah, and total rout is really you
Speaker 2: can tell like they're going to hang on every wrist lock.
Speaker 2: This isn't a crowd that's just going to sit there
Speaker 2: until the near falls start, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yep, yep. So it's Brett Firstino Bravo. Now is that
Speaker 3: you Bravo? Or is that Vincent Pestori from The Sopranos.
Speaker 3: I couldn't tell. I tell you this though he's only
Speaker 3: one piece of gabbaghul away from the icy title? Is
Speaker 3: Dano Bravo.
Speaker 2: You know Big Show used to go to seven to
Speaker 2: eleven so often they gave him the icy title.
Speaker 3: That's funny.
Speaker 2: So do you know locks up with Brett with his
Speaker 2: black hair, pushes off the Hitman to a chorus of boost.
Speaker 2: You know looks like every Italian guy you've ever seen?
Speaker 3: Is that right here? He really does the reference.
Speaker 2: You can hear Piper on commentary and what had happened
Speaker 2: at WrestleMania eight. Of course, hit Man becoming champ. Brett
Speaker 2: goes to the hammer lock and that gets a pop.
Speaker 2: He puts a hammer lock on and that gets a pop.
Speaker 2: That's right because Brett is doing it because right, and
Speaker 2: Brett equals money in Germany by timing out to his
Speaker 2: foot under the rope clean break, do you know, slams
Speaker 2: the rope ball, pissed off and the hit Man chance start.
Speaker 3: I've got I've got a treat for you. So what
Speaker 3: I decided to do is because of the fact that
Speaker 3: I knew you were going to have some commentary that
Speaker 3: was going to be translated, I decided that for the
Speaker 3: matches that were available, I would watch the ones that
Speaker 3: aired on w television in the States, and I would
Speaker 3: use the commentary from that because I know you wouldn't
Speaker 3: have heard that. How fun so and this is funny,
Speaker 3: like in the middle of this match, because also keep
Speaker 3: in mind they're also promoting other shit at the time,
Speaker 3: because this aired two months afterwards. Yes, so in the
Speaker 3: midst of this match, I've got here Gorilla Monsoon and
Speaker 3: grillam on Soon and it's Lord Al who are on
Speaker 3: the call for this, and they're hyping up the upcoming
Speaker 3: WBF Championship in Long Beach just under two.
Speaker 8: Weeks now after in Long Beach, California, and the Personal
Speaker 8: Fitness Ax Bowl on June thirteenth and fourteenth, the whole
Speaker 8: host of.
Speaker 3: Other stuffs on a weekend that's.
Speaker 8: Gonna be and kicking it all of course, the big
Speaker 8: WF champion New Chermany to b Crown Thanks ninety two
Speaker 8: at the Long Beach Convention Center, and it's all available
Speaker 8: on pay per view.
Speaker 4: It's it's amazing, It really is amazing.
Speaker 9: Tell me what the well oppressive federations tip, that's how's
Speaker 9: it going to be?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 8: Well, I understand that the Ultimate Warrior in Texas Tornado
Speaker 8: had them on a half of Legion to Doom. Sergeants Faughter, Crush.
Speaker 8: Believe that crush. What a powerhouse that guy. He might
Speaker 8: have ented the tournament himself.
Speaker 9: Well, I was just thinking of Legion of Doom then
Speaker 9: when you were talking about that, how about on the
Speaker 9: hole if they right there, that's.
Speaker 4: It's kind of tough.
Speaker 8: Look goz WBF stars your lordship, and they have devoted
Speaker 8: their entire light. Yes they're doing nothing, but yes you
Speaker 8: have to if you want to be successful.
Speaker 4: But the worst they would appoy, no, forget it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just wait about three four months away, brill exactly.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so money, make money to Yeah, to see
Speaker 2: the promotional imperatives at the time.
Speaker 3: Exactly. I mean it's because you know that. That's because
Speaker 3: there's another moment too. I didn't. I didn't get the
Speaker 3: SoundBite for this, but it's kind of funny. So if
Speaker 3: if Because again it's airing on in the United States
Speaker 3: in June, they're playing up the fact that Sean Michaels
Speaker 3: is watching this match closely. Yet for our for us,
Speaker 3: it's like, well, why would he be watching that match
Speaker 3: closely because he's in the fucking main event with with
Speaker 3: Savage's at the Big Belt. Big Belt, you know. So
Speaker 3: it's like it's kind of it's funny because you know,
Speaker 3: if you don't, if you're not actually watching this show live,
Speaker 3: you you know or you know it just it means
Speaker 3: something totally different.
Speaker 2: Only in wrestling does the match take place at the
Speaker 2: very moment the commentary track.
Speaker 3: Has been laid down.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's totally divorced from chronology. Other than this, it's weird, right,
Speaker 2: it really is. It's multipurpose, So lock up, do you know?
Speaker 2: Puts a Manhattan drop on the hit Man to a
Speaker 2: course booze is Brett gets.
Speaker 3: Sell like Scott Hall sells a WrestleMania stunner. He sure does.
Speaker 3: Bounces does.
Speaker 2: It's pretty awesome selling too, is he. Brett takes his
Speaker 2: time to process the pain he's going through just in
Speaker 2: that one move it crouches like that's going to kind
Speaker 2: of help. And then he tries to re enter the ring,
Speaker 2: and as he puts one foot over the rope and waits,
Speaker 2: it's like he knows if I try to get back
Speaker 2: in the ring, Dino's gonna pounce. So he does, and
Speaker 2: then he drops down before Dino can attack him. So
Speaker 2: Brett's like headfaking here makes.
Speaker 3: You wonder, like, it makes you say, hey, you know,
Speaker 3: maybe if people took it a little bit more seriously
Speaker 3: in the ring exactly, you know, maybe made it seem
Speaker 3: a little more realistic, it might actually do something right.
Speaker 2: Can you fucking imagine maybe thirty years later people will
Speaker 2: be reflecting on it positively instead of everything looks like
Speaker 2: an anachronism. There he is, and back to the lock up.
Speaker 2: Dono kicks the gut of the hit man with the
Speaker 2: right hand and some chops.
Speaker 3: I hear that.
Speaker 2: I hear someone say schlog and as do you know
Speaker 2: what whipped Brett into the corner chops?
Speaker 3: And definitely they're making those chops into schnitzel m.
Speaker 2: Brett ducks too. Actually the whip to the rope spread
Speaker 2: jumps with a cross body block gets too and body
Speaker 2: press brought haw and we here on the commentary right
Speaker 2: with another atomic drop and do you know hits the
Speaker 2: floor and then do you know with just a simple
Speaker 2: D I n know and cursive on his ass that's
Speaker 2: the gear.
Speaker 3: Well, hey, he's on his way out.
Speaker 2: So what's funny with things that Carson says At this point, Dono.
Speaker 2: Bravo has had big successes in the w w F. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think he did.
Speaker 3: I mean he did win a tag title at some point, what, yeah,
Speaker 3: like way back that far? Yeah, I mean, hey, you
Speaker 3: know we can we can't sure technically speaking, I'm not
Speaker 3: saying that it's a good idea to go back that far.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that it happened. But you know, yes,
Speaker 3: he does suck.
Speaker 2: I'm sure that's what Carson was thinking. Was his tag
Speaker 2: team with what what was.
Speaker 3: It, Tony Gia, Right, it's something like that, Yeah, Rick
Speaker 3: Martel whatever, lock up, side headlocked by? You know what?
Speaker 3: Wasn't Connell champion too? Oh?
Speaker 1: Was he?
Speaker 3: Let's take a look one. Let me see here. You're
Speaker 3: thinking like in the early No, he won the Canadian championship. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's Right's right, he's the only one eighty five and
Speaker 3: he held it for a one hundred and these seven
Speaker 3: days and then it abandoned.
Speaker 2: You know what I stand correct at Carson schaefferd Do
Speaker 2: you know Bravo did in fact have great successes in
Speaker 2: the w w F. Yes, lock up and the side
Speaker 2: headlocked by Dino grinds away? No, No, I see the
Speaker 2: point Canadian Champ tag Champ. That's more than most.
Speaker 3: That's true. I suppose the good the crowd is with ever,
Speaker 3: oh last, they really are. I mean, it is, it is.
Speaker 3: I mean even even in the fucking it's kind of
Speaker 3: hilarious to mix it properly in the the the primetime version,
Speaker 3: the crowd was even then overpowering Gorilla and Lord Al.
Speaker 3: And they weren't even in the building. They were in
Speaker 3: the building. That's such a good point. Yeah, like, but
Speaker 3: they still the way I mean, obviously you want to
Speaker 3: mix it, so you're not you're not peaking the spiking,
Speaker 3: the the levels and so there it is like it's
Speaker 3: like they can't even fucking mix it so that Gorilla
Speaker 3: and Lord Al could be heard. That's fascinating.
Speaker 2: I wonder if they had a term for that, you know,
Speaker 2: when they went into the hot box and laid down
Speaker 2: the commentary tracks. If you guys, you know, this is
Speaker 2: a match where the crowd reaction is so strong, we've
Speaker 2: got to just shut out the fact that we won't
Speaker 2: be able to hear ourselves talk for a couple of seconds, right,
Speaker 2: Because there must be only certain certain a caliber of
Speaker 2: match that reaches that level. You know, like, yeah, the
Speaker 2: Bruno going off on von Roski, George the Animal steel
Speaker 2: as because recently in the Coliseum collection. But in that
Speaker 2: case Vince McMahon was live ring side of the garden.
Speaker 2: So he's being drowned out, not just in post, but
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 3: And so there Gorilla and Lord Al are feigning being
Speaker 3: in another country, by the way, they are feigning like
Speaker 3: they are actually there. Oh God. And they they talk
Speaker 3: about in this clip that how being in another country
Speaker 3: helps one learn the local language. It's amazing, you know,
Speaker 3: how quickly you can pick up a language if you're
Speaker 3: you know, spending it all over here.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've had to put.
Speaker 8: In especially if you want to hear any groceries.
Speaker 3: It's all about food. Yeah, what would you know about that?
Speaker 9: Donkor Shun said, I you beata shuns absolutely and volas
Speaker 9: they might have.
Speaker 3: That's shame to you.
Speaker 4: And I believe that.
Speaker 9: Farllow that Tim White the third Man is referred to
Speaker 9: as an alviter.
Speaker 3: An, right, Yes, he resembles that remark.
Speaker 4: But the contestants arenas.
Speaker 9: This is arena wrestling, okay, I got to know all
Speaker 9: those Bud.
Speaker 8: You know, we've got a few ringers I know that
Speaker 8: for sure.
Speaker 3: He's just sitting there just making fun of everything.
Speaker 2: You can here, He's just getting it because he's got
Speaker 2: that straightforward delivery. He's clowning around the whole time exactly.
Speaker 3: I mean you just fucking you know, probably sitting in
Speaker 3: a booth, smoking cigarettes, eating a fucking gabbagoule sandwich. That's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 3: heavy on the provolone ah our Bier. He resembles that
Speaker 3: direct hit, direct hit one of yours. Truly, it's fucking great.
Speaker 2: So a lock up on the side, headlocked by Dino Bravo.
Speaker 2: He grinds away. Hitman falls to a knee up push off.
Speaker 2: Dino hits the tackle and Brett flips head over heels
Speaker 2: on impact. Because it's about selling. Dino hits the ropes
Speaker 2: and again it hits the tackle again over the top
Speaker 2: Brett with a leap frog and he hip tosses you know, Bravo,
Speaker 2: to a huge applause. They applaud it like wow, look
Speaker 2: at the form, you know what I mean, inverted atomic
Speaker 2: drop by the Hitman. Dino does the stumble into an
Speaker 2: arm dragon. Brett hauls off on the shoulder of Dino Bravo,
Speaker 2: trying to work that over arm bar now by the
Speaker 2: hitman and Dono gets up, grabs hipman lifts and slams them.
Speaker 2: But yes, Brett, because of course he's an ring technician.
Speaker 3: Yes, roll the fucking role he has he has. I
Speaker 3: think Taz would call it a firm grip. Yes, on
Speaker 3: that fucking arm. He lowered those hips, like lowered the
Speaker 3: hips for grips.
Speaker 2: When people say, you know, wrestling, it's so phony. What
Speaker 2: what is a technical wrestler? What does that even mean?
Speaker 2: Isn't it all just a I said, Well, all it
Speaker 2: really is is someone who holds onto a limb when
Speaker 2: someone else tries to sprid them, right.
Speaker 3: So someone a technical wrestler is is somebody who who
Speaker 3: you think something's going to happen to them and they
Speaker 3: do the opposite, right, all right, that's a technical wrestler,
Speaker 3: someone who has that fucking sensibility to also to make
Speaker 3: it come across as more real than the next person.
Speaker 3: Of course, Yes, you know technical wrestling. I know you are,
Speaker 3: I know you are, But I'm still fighting the battle.
Speaker 3: I'm fighting the battle. And then Brett Hart, I mean
Speaker 3: the same thing like that, that whole climbing in that
Speaker 3: that that avoiding climbing in the ring. That's technical wrestling
Speaker 3: right there. Just yeah, you know, because that is in
Speaker 3: my mind the technical aspect comes from, is you are
Speaker 3: trying to create a technically real match. Well, yeah, you're
Speaker 3: you know, you're doing something that's close to amateur wrestling, right,
Speaker 3: you know you could actually mistake it for exchanges that
Speaker 3: you'd see in a real wrestling and you're showing caution
Speaker 3: like that's right, that's that's real. You know you would
Speaker 3: do that if you knew that somebody was gonna blindside you,
Speaker 3: if you fucking walked in there and put your head
Speaker 3: down like that, you would avoid it. Like it's very
Speaker 3: it's it's it's amazing how that is lost really on on,
Speaker 3: Like it's such a simple thing. You wouldn't even need
Speaker 3: to you you wouldn't even need to adjust your move
Speaker 3: set and your style and whatever. It's just like it's
Speaker 3: just it's adding these little details that make such a
Speaker 3: huge difference. But they're like they I mean, they don't
Speaker 3: care now, they don't see the value. And in getting
Speaker 3: across that, they're concerned about their opponent's potency, right that
Speaker 3: their opponent if they catch them, they're fucked. So they're
Speaker 3: gonna be careful. Like now, it's just like it's always
Speaker 3: a battle of wills. Now, it's always like I don't
Speaker 3: care how hard you can hit me, I can hit
Speaker 3: you harder. It's like, right, well, what about avoiding being
Speaker 3: hit in the art of that? That's real fighting, right,
Speaker 3: That's real wrestling, you know, is avoiding things and and
Speaker 3: misdirecting so that you can get at somebody when they
Speaker 3: try to do something. It's not about We're to stand
Speaker 3: in the middle and punch each other in the face
Speaker 3: until one of us falls down. I mean, there's a
Speaker 3: place for that, just like that. You know there's a
Speaker 3: place for that in boxing too, But if somebody no
Speaker 3: one's going to do that at every single fight. The
Speaker 3: reason that's money is because it's come to the point
Speaker 3: where the two fighters have no choice but to throw
Speaker 3: down because they're so evenly matched. Otherwise, exactly, you know,
Speaker 3: they would get out of there as quickly as they
Speaker 3: could and dispose of their opponent as efficiently as they
Speaker 3: could if they were they if the other guy was
Speaker 3: out mad. But he's not, and so now it's gonna
Speaker 3: have to This is going to be one of those
Speaker 3: nights where I have to win on heart. That should
Speaker 3: be the last option. That is trying to win on heart.
Speaker 2: But Brett, unfortunately for him, heart is holding on in
Speaker 2: the arm on the attempted slam, and now Brett is
Speaker 2: dean knees into the shoulder of Dono Bravo and further
Speaker 2: locking up the arm. Dono gets up, though, retreats to
Speaker 2: the corner and Brett goes to the gut. Whip is
Speaker 2: reversed and Brett hits hard on those buckles.
Speaker 3: Yes he does, yes, yes he fucking does you.
Speaker 2: Know, drops an elbow and the felt hitman collects him
Speaker 2: and scores with a pile driver and wipes his hands
Speaker 2: like I just finished him off. He covers Brett but
Speaker 2: only gets two do you know? Now with the snap
Speaker 2: mare and he hooks on a camel clutch. As Brett
Speaker 2: gathers himself up, he throws some back elbows to get free,
Speaker 2: hits the ropes and you know runs him over with
Speaker 2: a lariat. Huge chorus of booze on that one. It's
Speaker 2: Brett's attempt to come back failed, do you know? Then
Speaker 2: slams the hitman and drops an elbow for two. And
Speaker 2: when he does that, Carson says you heard the bang.
Speaker 2: There are forces at work here that make you feel sick,
Speaker 2: you know. I guess that's true. As they go on
Speaker 2: and on about how strong Dino is and God the
Speaker 2: sound of that matt when that referee hits down, Municha
Speaker 2: say that deep echo definitely has a comic book type.
Speaker 3: God, if you were to write it out, swap is
Speaker 3: a good one.
Speaker 2: Do you know the bear hug now? As Uli says,
Speaker 2: Dino's bear hug is deadly and Dino is obviously angry
Speaker 2: now it shows on him.
Speaker 3: Sorry, beforehand, I want to play this because uh joy,
Speaker 3: when when when when Bravo has the chin lock on
Speaker 3: on the hit Man and and Brett Sharks come back?
Speaker 3: This is well. Gorilla informs us why why he starts
Speaker 3: to rally and I.
Speaker 8: Think too when it starts to get empty on the
Speaker 8: hit Man, he reaches down for that little something extra,
Speaker 8: something that's in bread, your lordship.
Speaker 3: Oh God, in bread all right is what it is?
Speaker 3: Thank you?
Speaker 2: You know to me, I'm not even going to read
Speaker 2: into that because Gorilla probably just said that because the
Speaker 2: word bread isn't there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he loves things that are in bread. That is
Speaker 3: too much if it's stuck between two slices. He's great,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's so funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, wonder he loved the royal family.
Speaker 10: Oh, I loved things that were in bread.
Speaker 3: It's not all about food, by the way. No, it isn't. No,
Speaker 3: it isn't.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, let's resent on that. It blew
Speaker 2: my mind. So, as Zuli says, Dino is obviously angry.
Speaker 2: Now it shows on him. Carson says, angry at Brett heart,
Speaker 2: angry at the audience. None of his actions are acknowledged.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, that's he's not wrong. That
Speaker 3: would that would I would say Dino Bravo generally is
Speaker 3: not acknowledged by the audiences.
Speaker 2: As Ben writes, the word choice is often really strange
Speaker 2: from these announcers, and this continues for the next hours.
Speaker 2: Brett bites the head to get free. Brett resorts to
Speaker 2: biting love it. He does that before. I've even do
Speaker 2: that before I remember him doing that. Oh he did
Speaker 2: it with Razor Ramon Rumble ninety three. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 2: he bites the head.
Speaker 3: That means he's in a lot of trouble. If the
Speaker 3: exactly listen, he's not afraid to do it. He he knows,
Speaker 3: he knows exactly what his weaknesses are. Wow, so Dino
Speaker 3: stays on right. I'll tell you what my favorite Brett is,
Speaker 3: Like this era Brett up until he became a ninety
Speaker 3: seven Brett. Those are my Those my two favorite Brets.
Speaker 3: Everything else like fucking hate he pisses me off. But
Speaker 3: Brett ninety one, ninety one to nine to like early
Speaker 3: ninety five Brett, that's my favorite Brett. Hart. Yeah, ninety
Speaker 3: five until ninety seven is bullshit. Ninety seven is fantastic.
Speaker 3: Everything after that sucks balls. Are you saying him wrestling
Speaker 3: Steve Austin as surviv Series ninety six is bullshit? No? No,
Speaker 3: no saying the Iron Man matches No no, no, no, no
Speaker 3: no no, I'm not saying it's bullshit. I just didn't
Speaker 3: like him, right, I don't care about like I he
Speaker 3: pitched you done with him being right the guy, the hero.
Speaker 2: I was done with him, Like you know, it's not
Speaker 2: a comment on his work. It's a comment on where
Speaker 2: the fan mentality would have been right by him at
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: I just he just annoyed the fuck out of me.
Speaker 3: Ninety five ninety six up until like again, because like
Speaker 3: to me, he was a I I want him to
Speaker 3: be heel. I've said this before in ninety five when
Speaker 3: he came back in ninety five, like to face Diesel
Speaker 3: at the at the Rumble, I wanted him to be
Speaker 3: a heel. Then I was like, he should be a heel.
Speaker 3: He just fuck, he's the fucking shit out of me.
Speaker 3: Always ever talks about.
Speaker 2: How a nineteen ninety five Hogan was long in the
Speaker 2: tooth in WCW and the Red and Yellow was getting
Speaker 2: booed every where. It's like, well, maybe Brett wasn't so
Speaker 2: far from that categorization either in WWF in nineteen ninety five,
Speaker 2: where people were I mean, I'm not say he was
Speaker 2: rejected by the crowd in the way Hogan was in
Speaker 2: some cities, but maybe people would have eventually gotten as
Speaker 2: sick of him in ninety six as a baby face.
Speaker 3: I mean they kind of did in a way. I
Speaker 3: mean like, I mean, they kind of they booked it
Speaker 3: that way, but him, you know, they kind of people
Speaker 3: didn't you know, people were rallying behind the anti heroo,
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, it wasn't you know they wanted
Speaker 3: Austin and Brett was the antithesis of Austin in a way.
Speaker 2: You know it's right, It's absolutely right. So Brett gets free.
Speaker 2: Deino stays on him with a double X to the
Speaker 2: back and the sidewalk slam for two. As Brett gets
Speaker 2: his fun on the rope, the crowd appreciates the foot
Speaker 2: on the rope. They thought that was actually clever. Yes,
Speaker 2: Dino hauls off and boots the bottom rope to a
Speaker 2: chorus of booze as he's so pissed off that he
Speaker 2: just can't put Brett down for three. Then he covers
Speaker 2: tighter with a leg hooked, and that only gets two
Speaker 2: as well. Back up in a bear hug. Brett lets
Speaker 2: out of yelp as Dino slaps that thing back on
Speaker 2: the hand of the hipman drops one.
Speaker 3: Two.
Speaker 2: No, Brett fights this one back, gets some right hands
Speaker 2: to some Mongolian chops the Mongolian clap. Rather, I had
Speaker 2: to break free boxes the ears bread then blocks right
Speaker 2: hand and fires off some rights as only Brett Hart can. Okay,
Speaker 2: when you talk about blocking a punch and returning fire,
Speaker 2: there's only one Yes, there's only one.
Speaker 3: Yes. He's whipping a backdrop. It's spectacular.
Speaker 2: Up and over it goes Dino. Bravo cover and it
Speaker 2: gets two for the hit man. How great the way
Speaker 2: Brett pressed across the shoulders with the back arched when
Speaker 2: he did a cover man, Yes, yes, what you do?
Speaker 2: I mean if the whole point was to pin the
Speaker 2: guy's shoulders down. Yes, although you know he could hook
Speaker 2: a leg. You know that's okay. We have be Gorilla
Speaker 2: on primetime Falling Game. Ever, I don't think I actually
Speaker 2: I didn't. He didn't, he didn't mention that, but.
Speaker 3: I uh uh, I don't remember. I can't picture a
Speaker 3: time when Brett Hart ever hooked the leg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was much more of an upper body press. Yeah, yep, yeah, right,
Speaker 2: that's interesting. I'm thinking of that to think of a time,
Speaker 2: but I can't think he'll answer that cameo. Maybe why
Speaker 2: don't you ever hooked the leg in your career besides Yoko?
Speaker 2: I guess ever, that's true, good point, that's very true.
Speaker 2: He did hit the leg on Yoko like that was
Speaker 2: going to do anything, but it did.
Speaker 3: So we got the duke, is what it got. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Indeed, so perfect with a snap verticle zuplex, not per perfect,
Speaker 2: There is a there is a there is a perfect
Speaker 2: snap vertical suplex from the hitd man that gets to
Speaker 2: to the corner right hands whips reverse. Brett goes sternham
Speaker 2: first into the buckling because he knows how to bring
Speaker 2: work rate and Believabilody up in a whip and reversed
Speaker 2: you know, hits him Brett with a side backbreaker. Carson
Speaker 2: says that he's got a leevuli right now to go
Speaker 2: backstage do the interview, as Ben notes, so he knew
Speaker 2: the match would end soon. Maybe wrestling a stage.
Speaker 3: Mmm something, think about folks, because as.
Speaker 2: Soon as Carson announces that he's got a skate, Brett
Speaker 2: goes to the middle rope inverted and the crowd is
Speaker 2: with it as he takes a pause to build up
Speaker 2: the anticipation, which he never used to do for this move,
Speaker 2: and he takes up and launches with the midder roal
Speaker 2: elbow drop. Scores with it one two, three off the
Speaker 2: elbow drop. I've never seen that before, never never seen it.
Speaker 3: Show me another example. So weird. I don't know, I
Speaker 3: don't It's just I don't know. To me, the diving elbow,
Speaker 3: as as iconic as it is for Brett Hart, it
Speaker 3: was never a move that was a match ender.
Speaker 2: Maybe Dina was just set the sharpshoot or something. Maybe
Speaker 2: he had some kind of back problem. Maybe maybe the
Speaker 2: case was. Brett Hart retains the Intercontinental Championship, defeating Dino
Speaker 2: Bravo in the opening contest here at WWA European rampage
Speaker 2: again in Munich, only time I've ever seen that again.
Speaker 2: So Dina rolls over with his hands on his hips
Speaker 2: like that wasn't the finish. But Brett did take an
Speaker 2: extra long pause before launching, so you know, because I
Speaker 2: was at first reading Dino Bravo's body language like he
Speaker 2: failed to kick out when he was supposed to and
Speaker 2: that was a fuck up.
Speaker 3: But I really don't think it was.
Speaker 2: He even Bretty even adjusted his knee pads before taking flight,
Speaker 2: which he so weird, such rejoicing as the hitman hoists
Speaker 2: the title and kisses the strap with his feet on
Speaker 2: the ropes and taking in the reaction of the crowd.
Speaker 2: Not once Boss did the crowd have reason to think
Speaker 2: it's all pretend in this one?
Speaker 3: I agree. I want to say, for on Primetime, Gorilla
Speaker 3: pitches to Lord Al for the replay, and we get
Speaker 3: I don't think he was prepared for it, because we
Speaker 3: get a fucking nonsensical world word salad out of out
Speaker 3: of uh uh lord, al.
Speaker 8: Let's go back or take a look that some of
Speaker 8: the birthsic shitt, what's up?
Speaker 4: And this one?
Speaker 9: Give it to me your MARCHI whoa Frett Hall played
Speaker 9: a very intelligent for here okay, gino, bravo.
Speaker 4: He played a defensive battle.
Speaker 9: He knew he couldn't take him away in the first
Speaker 9: few minutes, so he's saying, I wait.
Speaker 4: You very patiently until the right time came along. How
Speaker 4: he's still look champion.
Speaker 3: He forgot how the finish went. Really, for I had
Speaker 3: no idea, he had no clue, or he didn't or
Speaker 3: he wasn't planning on doing doing calling the the the
Speaker 3: replay or something. I don't know. It just fucking like,
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? Oh my gosh, so so
Speaker 3: fucking funny.
Speaker 2: So Brett walks the perimeter, slap in fives. They go
Speaker 2: to Carston as Dugan does the march behind him.
Speaker 3: We're backstage. I've I've got this one for us. I'm
Speaker 3: sure you do.
Speaker 6: We go.
Speaker 11: On his inch on via by miss.
Speaker 3: What the fuck is he doing in He's he's such
Speaker 3: an older march. I mean there was a moment I
Speaker 3: actually thought he was doing I know something appropriate. I
Speaker 3: thought that too. I was like, you don't be doing that. There,
Speaker 3: hack saw, but.
Speaker 11: Heck saw Jim Duggan.
Speaker 3: Royal rampage by royal rampage. Royal rampage. That's a new one,
Speaker 3: royal rampage. And he cures himself. Here Jim is chopping.
Speaker 4: At the bed to get in the wing.
Speaker 12: That's that's einl heck saw Jim Duggan, he phil Gleischmael.
Speaker 12: It was a match quashing Colonel Mustafa.
Speaker 3: Do you have do you have the the translation for this?
Speaker 3: All right? That's that's I'll pause there before so you
Speaker 3: can catch us up, and then I'll play Duggan's response.
Speaker 2: Carson does not translate Whatuggin says. He just says that
Speaker 2: was the right opening, and then he translates with Douggin
Speaker 2: says and says this man, of course, uh going to
Speaker 2: clash with Colonel Mustafa tonight, but then there's also a
Speaker 2: battle royal later, and naturally he'll try to win that too.
Speaker 13: Say Colonel Moustafa. Let me tell you something, Staffa. You're
Speaker 13: not over in the Middle East, You're right here in Union.
Speaker 3: I thought he would be over in the Middle East.
Speaker 3: Now have all the places of all the places with
Speaker 3: this guy not to be over.
Speaker 13: Stepping in away with hack Saud him Duggy six foot three,
Speaker 13: two hundred and ninety two hundred ninety five pounds, and

Speaker 3: that's the earlier thing. He said.
Speaker 2: Not only are gonna class the criminal staffa, but then
Speaker 2: there's also a battle royal later. Naturally he'll try to
Speaker 2: win that too. And then he translates what Dougan says,
Speaker 2: but he does not translate, according to Ben, the last
Speaker 2: statement of dug and he only says that's Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
Speaker 2: Everything that can be said has been said.
Speaker 3: Back to you.
Speaker 12: We've got a battle royal tonight and you probably want
Speaker 12: to come out the winner.
Speaker 13: Sixteen man battle oil. You will talk about havoc, you

Speaker 3: Ring inside by mister Carson Schaeffer, Yes, so, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: Costin Austin Schaeffer. No h.
Speaker 2: So there's a long blue alleyway aisleway rather to the ring,
Speaker 2: and you see a kid jumping up and down so
Speaker 2: awesome at the excitement of Hacksaw making his way to
Speaker 2: the ring. Crowd getting mighty riled there at ringside. I
Speaker 2: have to say, can I.
Speaker 3: Ask you something?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Sure you can.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 3: Mike McGirk says that Jim Duggan is unhiling from What
Speaker 3: the fuck does? And you know this jogged memory because
Speaker 3: I remember she would say that a lot. What the
Speaker 3: fuck does unhaling mean? That's a great quation. It's not
Speaker 3: your citizenship exactly. It means like to me, it seems
Speaker 3: like you're not from there, You're unhailing from there, Like no,
Speaker 3: I will not hail from there anymore. That is really
Speaker 3: curious because and there's no I couldn't find a definition
Speaker 3: of it. Mayn't look hard enough, but she means to
Speaker 3: say hailing I know, but like she would always say
Speaker 3: unhaling from. That's bizarre.
Speaker 2: I never noticed that about her. Someone asked, Mike mcgirck,
Speaker 2: what you Yeah, well, okay, so unhaled, according to Collins Dictionary,
Speaker 2: means not acclaimed, not saluted, not called right. So to hail,
Speaker 2: to hail something is to praise it. So well, in
Speaker 2: some ways he was unhaled. I guess that's true. But
Speaker 2: like she would say that a lot about people where
Speaker 2: they were from, unhaling from this, and maybe she's saying
Speaker 2: and hailing from maybe maybe maybe she's think oundhaling from.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what it was hailing from a minute. Some
Speaker 2: of that mixed Germans. So all smiles his hacks on
Speaker 2: his way to the Ringers mentioned he's just as much
Speaker 2: over as Brett and Bulldog is it's wild, it's USA.
Speaker 3: He does listen.
Speaker 11: And yeah, was on fine, that's sun USA.
Speaker 3: You couldn't pay European crowd to chant USA nowadays. No,
Speaker 3: it's it's absolutely wild.
Speaker 14: And.
Speaker 3: They're that that. They're also that there are people who
Speaker 3: have American flags. Yeah, because they're there to support him. Duggan.
Speaker 3: It's so wild to me, it is. Tell me that's
Speaker 3: not awesome.
Speaker 15: It is?
Speaker 16: It is?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 17: Is it?
Speaker 3: To me? There there, it sends a symbol of global unity.
Speaker 2: Does the stomp and the clap, and they're so with him,
Speaker 2: all these blue collar looking guys in the audience, thumbs
Speaker 2: up all over. I think Mustapha said hallelujah.
Speaker 3: At one point and they booed.
Speaker 2: I heard them say, yeah, you nailed it. Uli says,
Speaker 2: according to ben Bahla balla ballah, I don't know what
Speaker 2: we should think about that, and Carson says nothing.
Speaker 3: Everyone.
Speaker 2: Every time he lifts his hand to the crowd, he spits,
Speaker 2: does a Mustapha, And every time he simply lifts his
Speaker 2: hand up, the crowd goes ape.
Speaker 3: Shit. Yeah, the guy usa chance again blue collar an
Speaker 3: elbow by Hexagen, Oh shit. They break against the ropes,
Speaker 3: lock up to the waistlock acksaw. I got him, Baby,
Speaker 3: I got him. He says, he's so funny, he's social
Speaker 3: fucking ryot versus the position to a reaction. As they
Speaker 3: go to the ropes, dug and sticks out of stone.
Speaker 3: He does like it takes like eight years for this
Speaker 3: match to actually start, you know, like there's just so
Speaker 3: much atmosphere a stick that yeah, the atmosphere for sure,
Speaker 3: but there's also so much hack Saw stick that needs
Speaker 3: to happen before he can actually fucking wrestle. It's like
Speaker 3: so true. You know, like he's gonna get a lot
Speaker 3: of he's talking about that shit in you know, it's like, basically,
Speaker 3: may I get the vibe that that Hacksaw is basically like, oh,
Speaker 3: they gave me fifteen minutes while I'm gonna do my
Speaker 3: stick for ten. That's so true.
Speaker 2: You just have to when you wrestle Acksaw, you just
Speaker 2: to sit there watch him stomp the mat, clap usa everything.
Speaker 3: You're really only getting five minutes of exercise out of
Speaker 3: this whole thing, Like fifteen minute match, you're gonna get
Speaker 3: five minutes, because ten minutes is gonna be him just
Speaker 3: fucking you know, marching around, stopping his feet, you know, uh,
Speaker 3: clapping the crowd and usaying people and all that shit
Speaker 3: like it's it's chit's insane. It takes forever to start.
Speaker 3: That's so true.
Speaker 2: And he does like this posing dance and lock up,
Speaker 2: and Mustafa hits him, and Dougan goes hit me.
Speaker 3: Yeah he'd hear him, Yeah, hit me, and then he says, yeah,
Speaker 3: hit me, you son of a bitch. He said that.
Speaker 4: I hear that.
Speaker 7: He said that.
Speaker 3: He might not have gone all the way to bitch,
Speaker 3: but it definitely he was going there. He definitely. I
Speaker 3: definitely heard yeah, hit me, you son of a And
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm gonna say, I'm gonna think he said bitch.
Speaker 2: Oh of course, I don't blame you. Whipping a duck
Speaker 2: dug and drops him of the clothesline and Mustafa SCRAMs
Speaker 2: out of the ring. USA chance breakout again. Mustafa goes
Speaker 2: over to Mike McGirk and grabs the microphone and says,
Speaker 2: German people shut up, and they they boo, they're screaming
Speaker 2: at him.
Speaker 3: He no, he I think he's telling you. I think
Speaker 3: what I what I gather is that he wants Mike
Speaker 3: McGirk to tell the German fans to shut up whenever
Speaker 3: they chant USA. So they chant USA, Mike McGirk, get
Speaker 3: on the fucking thing and say shut up. Now, you
Speaker 3: know what, it would be pretty funny. That's a good gimmick.
Speaker 3: That's a good gimmick if like somehow that the Heel
Speaker 3: was such a domineering figure to the announcer that they
Speaker 3: actually just did it because they were afraid what would
Speaker 3: happen if they didn't, And so every time the crowd
Speaker 3: chance certain something, the ring announcer literally says, shut up,
Speaker 3: I would be hilarious. It's a great idea for a gimmick.
Speaker 3: He's so funny.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure what Ben's doing here is just taking
Speaker 2: like what he considers a generic German name and assigning
Speaker 2: it to one of the faithful ringsiders. Who's giving Colonel
Speaker 2: Mustafa guff As he writes, Uncle Herbert is one more
Speaker 2: provocation away from jumping the sheet, says it's crazy to
Speaker 2: see full grown Germans emotionally charged this heavy at a
Speaker 2: fake circus show from the States.
Speaker 3: I do love fake circus shows.
Speaker 2: I do kind of adore that this idea that like
Speaker 2: pro wrestling, goes over to Europe and like, you know,
Speaker 2: countries that might consider themselves just slightly more refined than
Speaker 2: Americans just turned into like the grossest, most base Americans.
Speaker 2: When the heel comes down, you know, absolutely tremendous. She
Speaker 2: claps his chest Usa hakt and on the camera, as
Speaker 2: I wrote, hawk Pooa Dugan pumps some jabs and a
Speaker 2: big right Mustaffa bumps and bales. Dugan does like a
Speaker 2: like a kick American football, like he's kicking an American
Speaker 2: football like a field goal into the air. And then
Speaker 2: Mustafa gets on him, clubbing away, chokes him in the
Speaker 2: middle rope and dug and grabs the apron skirt and
Speaker 2: shakes it as he's being choked across the middle rope.
Speaker 2: Had so much visual flare to such a super spot.
Speaker 2: Mustaffa then cranks the sleeper and the USA chance start again,
Speaker 2: but Dougan breaks free with mailbows and a tackle down
Speaker 2: goes Mustafa opposite side. Dugan leaps over the back and
Speaker 2: goes yeah, and then runs into a forearm and sails
Speaker 2: off to the side, nothing like dug in instead of
Speaker 2: flat backing, just jumping to the side.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Right, he does that weird right? You hit him with
Speaker 3: a with a with a basic fucking hit, and he
Speaker 3: just like flails his arms are flailing and like yeah,
Speaker 3: he basically barely gets off of one foot. One foot's
Speaker 3: up in the air, the other foot is barely barely
Speaker 3: up and he just kind of lands on his hip
Speaker 3: and collapses like ann sounds like you would if like
Speaker 3: a manhole cover exploded under your feet.
Speaker 4: Exactly.
Speaker 2: He's like going a totally different direction than you expect.
Speaker 2: Mustafa with deadlock. Duggan says, nail me, and he does
Speaker 2: drops and stops on the chin lock right hand drops
Speaker 2: to a thumb up from Dugan. He's not in the
Speaker 2: throes of submission quite yet. He rises to his feet
Speaker 2: as Colonel Mustafa puts him in the corner and starts
Speaker 2: doing the march. And then Mustafa somehow ended up pulling
Speaker 2: Jim Duggan's pants way the fuck down trunks and you
Speaker 2: see Jim duggans ass crack big time.
Speaker 3: I don't know why we're doing that, he says.
Speaker 2: Who, And Carston says, well, oly, what kind of sight
Speaker 2: was that? Ooley laughs and says A delightful one somehow, brother,
Speaker 2: I do you mean delight What what's going on, dude?
Speaker 2: She's like, delight brother.
Speaker 3: I don't know a lot of German, brother, but she
Speaker 3: said delightful.
Speaker 2: Fuck exactly. Now I get to process what this could mean.
Speaker 2: Corner Mountain punches like crazy from dug In. Mustafa turns
Speaker 2: and starts fishing in his boot, and then he turns
Speaker 2: around and sticks dug In in the throat with some
Speaker 2: foreign object. Joey Morella goes down to check on Hacksaw,
Speaker 2: while Mustafa hides the gimmick again cover gets too in
Speaker 2: an honest pop for the kickout. I think the fans
Speaker 2: really thought that Mustapha was gonna cheat his way to
Speaker 2: a pinfall victory over Duggan. Mustafa tries a sup plex,
Speaker 2: but it's blocked and dug And elevates and delays with
Speaker 2: a rather great suplex. I remember seeing Dugan throw a
Speaker 2: suplex like that. I'm with you on that. I think
Speaker 2: you know he does. It's a decent soup la. He
Speaker 2: lifts and slams him, does dug In, and then hits
Speaker 2: the running three point stance for the one two three.
Speaker 2: I saw Jim Duggan penning Colonel Mustafa here in Munich,
Speaker 2: and yeah, it's just it's uh, it's a sight, it's
Speaker 2: a scene, it's it's a happening, folks. And here it
Speaker 2: comes to Hasbros. Here come the Hasbro. Yes, all their
Speaker 2: glory unbelievable, but the Hasbro add and at the end
Speaker 2: they even add a.
Speaker 3: Screen.
Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely it is. What do they say they say?
Speaker 2: Here they come the w w F Power Catchers, the
Speaker 2: amazing show. Only the greatest are fighting here. That's why
Speaker 2: I like to see the power catching hour me two.
Speaker 2: Only the greatest are fighting here, they say, unbelievably strong
Speaker 2: with the unbeatable Hulk Hogan, get yourself. The wrestlers w
Speaker 2: w F from hasbro Jaw. That's spectacular, and we're back
Speaker 2: in the arena.
Speaker 3: Repo man the original glass shatters, king king boom and
Speaker 3: sing ting ting ting king, cling, cling, clinging, cling, cling cling.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, it's it's harmonic, it's it's it's
Speaker 3: you know, it's what it had to be, explains the
Speaker 3: repo Man's tendency to sneak around and steal things, which
Speaker 3: Ben notes is hilarious to hear in German. I would
Speaker 3: imagine it wasn't tendencies. I think it would be hilarious
Speaker 3: in German.
Speaker 2: I definitely picture the German parents with the five year
Speaker 2: old on the carpet watching this man.
Speaker 3: What does he steal? Steals? The man said, he sneaks around.
Speaker 3: How does he sneak around? Can you please can you elaborate?
Speaker 3: How does he sneak explain? Snak to me? Explain?
Speaker 2: Explains yes, father, of course, across across town they were
Speaker 2: running a show with fake ww wrestler names and people
Speaker 2: pretending to be the TV stars. Instead of the Barbarian
Speaker 2: Boss the Bavarian I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: The Bavarian cream instead of the American Dream. You have
Speaker 3: the Bavarian cream.
Speaker 7: Shut it down, Shut it down, We'll see you next time.
Speaker 1: Fan Wrestling podcast with Jack and JP Soroan wrestling podcast.
Speaker 18: Dusty Rhoads, this is American Dream, Auto vonce Very, Oh
Speaker 18: my god, the shine.
Speaker 3: How you take that long to land on that? Oh shit,
Speaker 3: what do you know about the Bavarian cream? Auto Vats?
Speaker 3: Holy shit, I thought that the Bavarian cream atovs. Baby.
Speaker 3: Let that be a lesson to you guys.
Speaker 2: After ten years, I thought you just saying the Bavarians
Speaker 2: the Barbarian was going to be money. But all that
Speaker 2: was is the the the entree to the real discovery.
Speaker 2: I had the Bavarian in the chamber. Boss Man didn't
Speaker 2: have the Bavarian cream in the chamber. He didn't have
Speaker 2: more salami than salam in the chamber.
Speaker 19: Still there, Still got it, still happens. Fuck that into
Speaker 19: his shirt too, Dusty loads Dusty Roads logo.
Speaker 2: Find any find any shirt he's ever had that says
Speaker 2: American dream and just put auto vans there in like
Speaker 2: a cartoon cartoon version, like a dying and just say
Speaker 2: the Bavarian Oh sho, check out our new Auto Vants shirt,
Speaker 2: the flats fan.
Speaker 3: The autos collection actually sounds high end, Like if you
Speaker 3: told me there was an auto van's collection at like
Speaker 3: I don't know or something, I would believe it. The
Speaker 3: fat shirts. Oh ship, that's a good one.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: I kind of feel like dropping the mic honestly because
Speaker 3: I have to just sit here and think about how
Speaker 3: funny that is, how how many ways it works it does.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, have a very cream so.
Speaker 2: As Ben says, Carston explains the repo man's tendency to
Speaker 2: sneak around and steal things, which is hilarious to hear
Speaker 2: in German. He's basically a crazy person that should be
Speaker 2: in jail.
Speaker 3: They're saying, like they.
Speaker 6: Can say, you don't know, they don't really know like
Speaker 6: what a repo man is, like, of course they don't
Speaker 6: know what he's supposed to be depicting, just and I
Speaker 6: when you realize when you take out the knowledge of
Speaker 6: the of the occupation, he really just he's.
Speaker 3: Out of his mind. Of course he does a rat. Look,
Speaker 3: he's like he's wearing tire tracks on his fucking tights, Like,
Speaker 3: how does that represent repossession?
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know. I didn't know that repel men
Speaker 2: got run over. I know they're often repossessed cars, but
Speaker 2: I know, but like the entire track, I think, you know,
Speaker 2: when he tire tracks, actually there would be a good design.
Speaker 2: He's a repo man, after all, what does that mean
Speaker 2: we he repossesses things, so he's tire tracks.
Speaker 3: The simplistic thinking of the time, like, well, what do
Speaker 3: people hate dentists? What do people hate repo men? What
Speaker 3: do people hate tag the tax man? I mean, I
Speaker 3: I I'm sure that there must have been some like like,
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess people hate repo men. I mean
Speaker 3: maybe I've just been lucky in my life. I've never
Speaker 3: had to deal with with someone repossessing something. So it's
Speaker 3: just funny to me, Like, I just I don't even
Speaker 3: know what that was when I not really I had
Speaker 3: a very I had the idea that they were essentially
Speaker 3: robbers from this character right exactly, the crooks is what
Speaker 3: they are. But actually, you know, there you don't pay,
Speaker 3: you get your repossessed. Actually it's not a bad job.
Speaker 3: He's not a bad guy. He's just you know, in fact,
Speaker 3: you're the bad person for not paying your fucking you know,
Speaker 3: paying your money. It's but you know, when you hire
Speaker 3: a rebo man, there's you know, there's dirt. There's dirt
Speaker 3: on both sides of the equation, you get. I mean, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: you're you're right. You know, the person, the person you
Speaker 3: owe is never going to be paid back sufficiently.
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 2: It's like you're now on the hook forever, the hook, right,
Speaker 2: That's where it comes from. So it's hilarious to hear
Speaker 2: in German. He says, when I hear such things in English,
Speaker 2: I have more distance, he says, I don't understand. Sergeant
Speaker 2: Slaughter comes out another huge pop for a US A
Speaker 2: hero here.
Speaker 3: Totally and and you know he comes out with that
Speaker 3: fucking rare gem of his nineteen ninety two theme. You
Speaker 3: never heard him come out to this because after he
Speaker 3: turned baby face again with the help of Hacksaw, he
Speaker 3: came out to Hacksauce music. You know they did that.
Speaker 3: They were tag team together from like late ninety one
Speaker 3: to right around probably right after WrestleMania, So he came
Speaker 3: down to Hacksaws music. And so he had this theme
Speaker 3: that goes like.
Speaker 17: Putt put the wo.
Speaker 3: Manama, Yes, that one, I remember that. The title of
Speaker 3: the song hardcore c O r P s Oh fucking hell,
Speaker 3: crying to uh Jim Johnson anyway, hardcore.
Speaker 2: So Slaughter grabs a mini us A flag and is
Speaker 2: it how that ended up in that German kid's hand,
Speaker 2: We'll never know, right, he hands it to the to
Speaker 2: the sargent Slaughter. There's a big US flag at ringside
Speaker 2: as well. Gotta love these German guys in the front
Speaker 2: row with their shirts tucking into their jeans, just going
Speaker 2: nuts for.
Speaker 3: These American heroes.
Speaker 20: I know.
Speaker 3: It's like, it's it's a it's a very it's it's
Speaker 3: it's so funny to me. It's a such a funny thing.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure it has more to do with kind
Speaker 3: of the times that we're in now, but it's so
Speaker 3: bizarre to kind of see like these, you know, these
Speaker 3: I love the Germans, these these these uh you know,
Speaker 3: blue collar Germans, fucking cheering. Oh yeah, the clown like
Speaker 3: fucking not everything you fucking did was you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Right?
Speaker 2: You weren't always worried about taking a stand every fucking
Speaker 2: moment of your life back then. Gave a fuck how
Speaker 2: you felt about America. Nobody, It's true, so uh, Carson says,
Speaker 2: And above all, we're not some kind of WWF developing
Speaker 2: country anymore.
Speaker 3: Those days are over. Wow.
Speaker 2: As Uli says, tell a five, we can say that loudly.
Speaker 2: Who would have thought that three years ago? And Carston says,
Speaker 2: yeah when we started this TV show, but you have
Speaker 2: to stick with it. So they're basically celebrating the fact
Speaker 2: that WWF wrestling in general went from you know, this
Speaker 2: television backwater thing curiosity on German television to now, you know,
Speaker 2: thirteen thousand strong and they're going nuts and they're live,
Speaker 2: and that's going to feel pretty good, you know, as
Speaker 2: the two people who were just assigned to make a
Speaker 2: television show out of this fucking bullshit American wrestling stuff
Speaker 2: that they're sending us on videotape, to see it translate
Speaker 2: into something that could fill a major arena in Munich
Speaker 2: is pretty cool. I can definitely understand why they're rejoicing
Speaker 2: a bit so a Slaterverus repon man Usachan again. Sergeant
Speaker 2: signals that he's going to take off the Zoro mask.
Speaker 3: Because that's been the fucking mystery the whole time. Everyone's
Speaker 3: been wondering who's the Repo man. Oh, no one cares.
Speaker 3: You can see his whole face anyway, I mean right,
Speaker 3: and nobody. And also if you look at his arm,
Speaker 3: you know he's Smash, right because he's got that fucking tattoo,
Speaker 3: the same tattoo That'smaschazz.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny Smash got the job in Demolition
Speaker 2: or was it? Yeah, Smash because everyone could recognize Randy
Speaker 2: Colly as one of the moon Dogs and trying to
Speaker 2: pass off as a Demolition member, and so they switched
Speaker 2: him out. And uh, no one ever yelled Smash at
Speaker 2: Repo man that I can ever remember. I mean, I
Speaker 2: remember when I remember. God, I think I've talked to
Speaker 2: if I talked about the the the guy who painted
Speaker 2: my house when I was a kid, and he inside
Speaker 2: and he was a wrestling fan. This guy was a
Speaker 2: wrestling fan. And I don't know, like but like, so
Speaker 2: we'd talked wrestling talking here I am a fucking you
Speaker 2: know what, ten year old you know, eleven year old
Speaker 2: kid talking wrestling with this adult talking this wrestling and
Speaker 2: he was the one. He must have fucking I guarantee
Speaker 2: you he fucking must have been. You know he he
Speaker 2: subscribed to the fucking dirt sheets. I guarantee you he
Speaker 2: did because he told me that you know who Repo
Speaker 2: Man is, right, I said, no, sash from demolition what.
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 3: And then when I got when my grandmother, so I
Speaker 3: had accent smash, right, But then my grandmother gave me
Speaker 3: the Demolition Crush and Smash duo. So I had the
Speaker 3: new smash be Demolition Smash, and I drew the mask
Speaker 3: on my previous Smash and made him Repo Man until
Speaker 3: they came out with the Repo Man. Now Repelman had
Speaker 3: the tattoo on his arm. The hasbro I don't did
Speaker 3: it me?
Speaker 2: I recall a tattoo on the arm, but I don't
Speaker 2: recall a tattoo on Smash's arm. But if it's the
Speaker 2: tattoo you're talking about, then that that's a curious thing
Speaker 2: to include on the toy. But I can't remember it
Speaker 2: all right, So that's how you learned. That's how you
Speaker 2: learned that Repo Man was very dark. So huh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: Are you trying to.
Speaker 14: Go for it?
Speaker 3: As against Slaughter is threatening to take off the Zora mask.
Speaker 3: We just see Barry Darso and so what we'd see
Speaker 3: walk up to the ropes. You imagine what a disappointment
Speaker 3: that would have been. Fucking bald Barry Darso like no one.
Speaker 2: He had a voice, and Alf lock up to the
Speaker 2: ropes of clean Break. He skulks away to some jeers
Speaker 2: as the Repo man. Another lock up to the ropes
Speaker 2: of clean break, but no this time Repo pokes the
Speaker 2: eyes to a chorus of booze. I'm not a course
Speaker 2: of booze in Germany, and I don't know how you
Speaker 2: spell booze. But Repo automates and punches and chokes him out,
Speaker 2: and he goes, how do you like that?
Speaker 3: Sergeant? He says that to him, and he's such a
Speaker 3: fucking moron, He's so verbal in there.
Speaker 20: He is.
Speaker 2: Repos on him with punches and the choke, like I said,
Speaker 2: whip is reversed and Sergeant Slaughter grabs a sleeper. Repo
Speaker 2: gets to the ropes and Slaughter stomps away.
Speaker 3: Stop it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna save this one a bit if you
Speaker 2: can't find it, plays abandon mission as Sergeant Slaughter with
Speaker 2: I can.
Speaker 5: Tell you that.
Speaker 3: I didn't tell you smash Smash definitely does not have
Speaker 3: the bell the tattoo. Yeah, just look at it. The
Speaker 3: look at a picture. Oh yeah, I could have done that.
Speaker 3: I suppose that that's not as much fun though, No, no,
Speaker 3: it's not. No, I was glad for the atmospherics, but
Speaker 3: I could just tell it wasn't. Yeah, I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I literally I saw the fucking thing. Yeah seconds ago. Wow,
Speaker 3: so I had this. Yeah me too, Yeah on his arm.
Speaker 3: That's weird. I don't lad that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, so let me tell you. Slaughter is stomping
Speaker 2: the repo man at this point. Oh yes, you could
Speaker 2: say he's stomping a fox hole in his ass, I
Speaker 2: mean honest. And then he tosses repo over but he
Speaker 2: lands on the apron and stalks around, and Sergeant turns
Speaker 2: around and rebows like whoa, and he pokes him in
Speaker 2: the eye, laughing and cheering. In fact, on the commentary,
Speaker 2: when Slaughter hits from the eyes, so funny, it is
Speaker 2: really funny, Carston says, And there we saw Sergeant Slaughter
Speaker 2: a mix of fight and fun as the crowd laughed
Speaker 2: at the ibow whip whipping a big hiptoss and a
Speaker 2: clothes line by Sergeant Slaughter and he grabs an armbar
Speaker 2: and reap him in a.
Speaker 3: Screaming oh no, no, no, no no. He drops to India.
Speaker 2: It's so great a panic attack is Sergeant Slaughter has
Speaker 2: a fucking arm bar. Every time Sergeant cranks the arm
Speaker 2: and Repo looks to the crowd and goes ah over
Speaker 2: the top.
Speaker 3: He's like like, I know, He's like, look look at
Speaker 3: my face exactly, look at my celling right backs into
Speaker 3: the rope, shoots him off. Tackle down, guys, I'm doing
Speaker 3: this for you. I'm doing this for star ratings. Rebo
Speaker 3: drops and Sergeant drops right next to him.
Speaker 2: I've never seen that one. No, I do the drop
Speaker 2: downs the guy jumps over your back, but instead of
Speaker 2: doing that, the guy just lays down right next to you,
Speaker 2: like hello, yeah, it's brilliant. And then and then he
Speaker 2: shoots you through the doggy door between the eyes.
Speaker 3: B Becca.
Speaker 5: Back up.
Speaker 2: He pokes Repo's eyes again to Slaughter and back to
Speaker 2: the arm bar, and you got to hear him scream
Speaker 2: as Slaughter cranks. Repo actually leans down and then front
Speaker 2: flips away from the pressure because he's such a fucking
Speaker 2: uh you know, he's so aware of the torque on
Speaker 2: the shore and the physics that creates uh, like twisting
Speaker 2: the arm past the point he could you can believe
Speaker 2: in that, like when a guy puts an armbar on
Speaker 2: and he starts twisting and you eventually have to front
Speaker 2: flip because yeah, your arm is getting so ripped out
Speaker 2: of position.
Speaker 3: Except when they fucking do the arm twist like three
Speaker 3: times beforehand. Yeah, that's heart, which is always like the
Speaker 3: fucking that one's always strains credulity. I'm like, I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: you would definitely see the arm like twisting. The flesh
Speaker 3: would be twisting on itself. Yeah, the flesh does never
Speaker 3: seem to move, does it in his armlocks? And yes,
Speaker 3: because the wristlocks, because they do that. You know, just
Speaker 3: hold the wrist and make it seem like you're twisting
Speaker 3: it around even though you're not.
Speaker 2: So Repo answers with a crotch lift and lifts serge
Speaker 2: and Slaughter with a backbreaker to get free. He's still
Speaker 2: selling the arm though. As he sits on the back
Speaker 2: of slaughter a Slaughter is trying to get up on
Speaker 2: all fours and he pounds the back.
Speaker 3: Does read my man?
Speaker 2: Then turns to the crowd and says, my aching back
Speaker 2: to mock Sargeant Slaughter, and it goes for another one
Speaker 2: where you sit in the guy's lower back. But ye,
Speaker 2: Slaughter quickly flips around and puts his knees up so
Speaker 2: he hits the dick of Repo Man. Uli and Carson
Speaker 2: are happy that Repo got his balls attacked by Slaughter
Speaker 2: Ben wrights. Uli asks if his voice is now higher,
Speaker 2: and Carson says, than Repo now sings at the boys.
Speaker 3: Choir, that's well wow okay.
Speaker 2: Sergeant with an inverted atomic drop and a lariat gets
Speaker 2: too and then with big stomps and a double axe
Speaker 2: handle to the corner they go. When he hits Repo
Speaker 2: Man in the stomach and he jumps ludicrously does Repo
Speaker 2: Man after getting hit so we can get hammicked on
Speaker 2: the top rope to the other corner goes Slaughter whip
Speaker 2: his reverse though and Slaughter does the bump. He came
Speaker 2: to Munich for what? Oh he listen all right, he
Speaker 2: needs to he needs Slaughter's a pro. Okay, let's put that.
Speaker 2: Let's get that right for bat.
Speaker 3: Slaughter's a pro and he is going to do what's
Speaker 3: right for business because even though he is certainly on
Speaker 3: his way to retirement or more or less, Yeah, he
Speaker 3: needs okay, I say this, He needs to show the
Speaker 3: audience and to give the audience their money's worth.
Speaker 2: And does that involve soaring over the top buckling chest.
Speaker 3: First, it means hitting that fucking uh torso and just
Speaker 3: sailing over the top rope. And that's what he does.
Speaker 3: And he hits the floor here even at his advanced age.
Speaker 3: I don't know he said. He said, you want you
Speaker 3: want star writings, Repo, I'll.
Speaker 21: Give you a star righting you.
Speaker 3: The ultimate puke Puke the repuke man. Maybe see him
Speaker 3: Puque the Bavarian cream like you know, it's a picture
Speaker 3: and then the picture of Audovan just has like a
Speaker 3: little bit of like you know, white cream on his
Speaker 3: in the corner of his mouth. Tied him up like
Speaker 3: a pretzel man with mustard please he put Yeah, he
Speaker 3: tied him up like a pretzel and put a little
Speaker 3: mustard on it. That's one thing they didn't say about,
Speaker 3: ever say about out of Vans is that he couldn't
Speaker 3: cut the mustard. Tell yeah, he fucking proved it just
Speaker 3: about three times a day that he could cut the mustard. Okay,
Speaker 3: someone kept get the bottle in his pocket just in case. Okay,
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's a European rampage.
Speaker 10: I think that's I think that's the conclusion that we're reaching.
Speaker 10: It's a European page. Oh my god, that's tremendous.
Speaker 11: Oh god.
Speaker 2: You know autivants. You know when his kids act up,
Speaker 2: he'd call him a brat, but then he'd have to
Speaker 2: eat them, so he said, you.
Speaker 3: Call him a brat. But it also be Hord holding
Speaker 3: a forking knife at the same time. Brought brought hit
Speaker 3: man heart, brought heart.
Speaker 9: Heart.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's working, that's all I can tell you.
Speaker 3: It's working right now, brought the schnitzel Man heart. That
Speaker 3: was the Jack Feffer show, a cross town the Bavarian Cream,
Speaker 3: the Bavarian bought over. They were that's what they were
Speaker 3: doing too. They would have had the Bavarian and the
Speaker 3: Bavarian Cream on the same show. They don't care, you know,
Speaker 3: fucking There was also the opening match tag team. They
Speaker 3: were known as Assorted Pastries. I'm sorry with the assorted
Speaker 3: the assorted pastries with croissant and donut, croissant and donut
Speaker 3: assorted pastry and they spell it. They spell it a
Speaker 3: S O R D I D. And when their version
Speaker 3: of mister Fuji hits them to interfere and he throws
Speaker 3: powdered sugars, he does, he does, and so, and then
Speaker 3: instead of the guy going blind, he just licks it
Speaker 3: like this is good. Fuji throws powdered sugar in the
Speaker 3: Bavarian cream's face and this guy is just in his
Speaker 3: Gloryssan Crystan. That's a renaissance. This would have definitely been
Speaker 3: if you this is this is kind of way back here.
Speaker 3: That would have been perfect for the world wrestling fetation increase. Right,
Speaker 3: you can't. There's the backbreaker, and there's the backlev.
Speaker 7: Let's get it.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, I'm already spent. I'm already burned calories.
Speaker 3: That's it. That's it. I won't. I won't, I won't.
Speaker 3: I can't. I can't either, fucking oh Jesus fucking Christ.
Speaker 3: You know it's funny because because both auto vonts and
Speaker 3: destroids are fat, all right, that's what down to, because
Speaker 3: they're both fucking fat, and you know, you know they've
Speaker 3: grabbed some patient with Bavarian creaming and just squirted it
Speaker 3: in their fucking mouth because they're animals, all right. They're
Speaker 3: not human beings. They're beasts. They're just rabid beasts. Bright's finisher,
Speaker 3: the Schnitzel, that's it. Or the sharp Shaddar Shoese shooter,
Speaker 3: sharp Cheddar shooters. Oh, we're just a band. Didn't even
Speaker 3: trying to make it. German Food Federation.
Speaker 4: They were like, it's just food.
Speaker 2: I think we need to a restaurant. I think that's
Speaker 2: that is the ultimate that's the logical end game to
Speaker 2: this podcast. Is we just open a restaurant full of wrestling.
Speaker 2: That's a great place where we can actually have the
Speaker 2: lapsed flan.
Speaker 3: Oh my m oh fuck, the sharp Cheddar shooter burgers.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like smothered with cheese. Just enough about.
Speaker 2: Oh alright, anyway, that's right. So I said to myself,
Speaker 2: you know, boss, maybe Slaughter is nervous the fans will
Speaker 2: demand a refund if he doesn't do that, because he
Speaker 2: shortly did it. Reposts coats around clothesline Sergeant Slaughter on
Speaker 2: the floor and says, that's gotta hurt the camera for
Speaker 2: a fucking moron back in the USA, Chan kicks in
Speaker 2: and Slaughter blocks and fires away, but a knee lift
Speaker 2: scores and Repo puts him over the buckling Repel walks
Speaker 2: in an abdominal stretch called a grape vine, I believe
Speaker 2: on a.
Speaker 3: Commentary and and OK, what are you gonna say? The
Speaker 3: abdominal stretch also known as a euphemism for slaughters dinner.
Speaker 3: I think, especially in Thanksgiving, abdominal stretches all rather stretch.
Speaker 3: That's the hot dish. There's so much breading on the.
Speaker 7: Fucking dish. Every fucking dish is covered read.
Speaker 3: Spread. It's either fried or it's a baked, so it's
Speaker 3: a fucking crust. It's just butter and bread. There's another
Speaker 3: tag team. Oh my god, bread and butter the appetizer
Speaker 3: versus the assorted page the freebies. Actually, the best part
Speaker 3: about the abdominal stretch, despite besides remises eating, is when
Speaker 3: Timmy White asks Sergeant Slaughter if he gives up, and
Speaker 3: Slaughter responds as follows, you know on oh my god,
Speaker 3: I don't us nine Timmy White. Timmy White goes he says,
Speaker 3: you you have no nine nine nine, you know, But
Speaker 3: but Bob, you gotta die. The country coachurs I wrote down, Wait,
Speaker 3: is he a German sympathist now, because the Germans certainly
Speaker 3: enough sympathy for certainly is he a German simp? Because
Speaker 3: oh my god, oh good, the.
Speaker 7: Rails, this is what's totally.
Speaker 3: Hit the sloughts machine.
Speaker 7: You got that right.
Speaker 3: We're blowing all our ships at the slots. Oh I
Speaker 3: can't my eyes burn. Oh I can't breathe, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 3: honest to God, I can't. I'll tell you, I don't
Speaker 3: understand how. I'm not a fucking skinny rail. I don't
Speaker 3: understand it. Just to play that again, and I want
Speaker 3: you to picture Slaughter banging the nine button trying to
Speaker 3: dial out on an office phone.
Speaker 20: You know, even the works presently for that No nine
Speaker 20: nine nine nine nine.
Speaker 2: Why do they go to this fucking voice dialing system?
Speaker 2: Oh sayer speak, you know, speaker pressing behind to be
Speaker 2: connected to it.
Speaker 22: Operator nine nine, Oh God fucking says that this one's
Speaker 22: bringing the hits, man, I know it fucking sucks.
Speaker 3: Otherwise it's a fucking drizzling ships. This fucking match.
Speaker 7: I like the match.
Speaker 3: I hated it. I was like a fell asleep during it.
Speaker 3: That was awful.
Speaker 2: Ripo says, shut opera I'm gonna repossess your wife. Maybe
Speaker 2: he said wands. I don't know what he's say. I'm
Speaker 2: with wife. I'm with wife. That sounds much better. And
Speaker 2: he says to know one in particular about nothing in particular.
Speaker 2: That's a bunch of stinking garbage he's talking about. What
Speaker 2: is he's such a like out of all the heels
Speaker 2: on the show. He's like, I don't know what he's
Speaker 2: trying to do. I don't know what he's trying to
Speaker 2: do exactly. He's trying to show off somehow and like
Speaker 2: trying to to to get all the attention on himself.
Speaker 2: Like he's fucking what's his name in the Star KD
Speaker 2: three match the referee there, Dick.
Speaker 3: The bruiser, Not Dick the bruiser. Oh, chinkinisky jing kinisky,
Speaker 3: you know, making it all about him, Like, dude, what
Speaker 3: are You're in the fucking third match of the fucking card,
Speaker 3: Like what are you doing? Idiot? Repo man all.
Speaker 2: Right, whipping a backdrop, slots for the goes for the ride.
Speaker 2: Repo gets a two count off the cover, Repo saying
Speaker 2: put the knee up in the chin lock. You can
Speaker 2: hear him calling spots Wow, so Slots backs Repo up
Speaker 2: into the corner elbow to the head with the red
Speaker 2: elbow pad that he used to wear, and then indeed,
Speaker 2: Slots goes for whip. It's reversed and there's the need
Speaker 2: of the gut that Rebel's overslaughter as called for to
Speaker 2: a round of gears. Whip is reversed and Slots hits
Speaker 2: the side backbreaker and then a slam, but Repo falls
Speaker 2: on top of him for the two count. Slots on
Speaker 2: with elbows and a slug fest breaks out. Whip, Repo
Speaker 2: ducks and they do a double clothesline spot double down here,
Speaker 2: back up. Repo beats him to the punch and drops Slaughter,
Speaker 2: then whips a sleeper on repose. Pardon me, the arm
Speaker 2: lifts twice, but the third he pulls like a train whistle. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a slaughter to prevent uh submission.
Speaker 3: You know, I'll tell you. I just I don't know.
Speaker 3: There's there's some some shit about that really bothers me.
Speaker 3: Like when they do weird ship like that, the fact
Speaker 3: that they come back, well that's you know, I don't know,
Speaker 3: the fact when it doesn't fall, I don't know, there's
Speaker 3: something weird about it. The the the later one that
Speaker 3: happens is is worse, but anyway, good, Yeah, it's now
Speaker 3: that we know. Like they don't they don't even really
Speaker 3: do it anymore, they really don't. They just tap right, well,
Speaker 3: they fall asleep if that pass out, they check, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but just once right the right exactly if it drops
Speaker 3: once they're done, that's realistic, Like who the fuck wouldn't course,
Speaker 3: how can you if you're if you're trapped enough to
Speaker 3: go unconscious for one hand drop there's actually no reason.
Speaker 3: The second one you can just somehow fight it like
Speaker 3: you're dead, let alone. The third one right exactly why
Speaker 3: it's three instead of two was even funnier. So Slot
Speaker 3: stands up, shifts into a cobra clutch. He actually does
Speaker 3: a standing switch out of repo sleep or into the
Speaker 3: cobra clutch. Pretty slick reversal it was. And then he
Speaker 3: goes ho like a horse for some reason. I don't
Speaker 3: know what that was about. Repo falls to his knees.
Speaker 3: His hand goes up once twice, and the third time
Speaker 3: it lands on the middle rope. See this is what
Speaker 3: this is?
Speaker 16: It?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: What the fuck? Why? Why?
Speaker 9: Well?
Speaker 3: You break a submission of a hand lands on the rope.
Speaker 3: I mean that, I get that. Okay, that's a good point,
Speaker 3: I guess now. But again, but he didn't do it. No,
Speaker 3: he didn't. That's true. You know that lifted that. That's right.
Speaker 3: The referee lifted the hand and if he you know,
Speaker 3: to me, it's it's like it's the same thing as
Speaker 3: as WrestleMania twenty when when when Michaels was going to
Speaker 3: tap and then Triple H grabbed the hand to prevent
Speaker 3: from actually tapping. It's like, if he's going to tap,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's he already did. He already submitted, right,
Speaker 3: exactly like he already said he gives up. You know
Speaker 3: if you if the referee asked, if he gives up,
Speaker 3: you're gonna cover his mouth then too, right, Like it's
Speaker 3: just it's weird to do it like always to do
Speaker 3: his signal submission, like you tap, so they could throw
Speaker 3: nor of the reason you tap because it's easy for
Speaker 3: the ref to see and it's easy for your opponent
Speaker 3: to feel, so they would lnquish the hold. But you
Speaker 3: could just say I give up with your mouth it's over.
Speaker 3: And so what's the difference between the between someone stopping
Speaker 3: you from tapping, even though that was your intent versus submitting.
Speaker 3: It's the same thing because like when someone grabs your
Speaker 3: hand and stops you from tapping, you would just scream,
Speaker 3: I give up. And that's why enough exactly because remember
Speaker 3: before tapping, all you have to do is to the
Speaker 3: ref wouldn't That's what they would do. They'd ask you,
Speaker 3: do you give up? And you say yes, you have
Speaker 3: to shake your head up and down and make your
Speaker 3: long hair right like yes, remember that? Oh my god?
Speaker 2: So uh, but I haven't seen that one before where
Speaker 2: the hand is about to drop a third time and
Speaker 2: lands on the rope.
Speaker 3: I've never seen that before. You there, never seen that.
Speaker 2: So Sergeant with the corner of the corner Whipsternham first
Speaker 2: and locks on the cobra clutch again. RepA goes to
Speaker 2: the corner, throws an arm over the top, and the
Speaker 2: referee calls for a break, and there is no break.
Speaker 2: Tim White pulls Sergeant Slaughter by the hair to break
Speaker 2: the hold, and then Slaughter shoves the referee turns around
Speaker 2: and he's nailed with that hook rope thing that RepA
Speaker 2: man used to bring to the ring, and he covers
Speaker 2: Slaughter for the one two three, repe on man defeats
Speaker 2: Sergeant Slaughter here in Munich, Germany.
Speaker 3: Yes he does, Yes he does.
Speaker 2: And now it's the package at the mess Essen where yes,
Speaker 2: Vibo Bodybuilding Expo takes place, and Vince and Cameo Newer
Speaker 2: are on the ground, Lex Luger are on the ground,
Speaker 2: and here we go.
Speaker 9: Bodybuilding has always been associated with Venice Beach, California.
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, they call it the mecca.
Speaker 3: Has it is that where it's always been the world
Speaker 3: thinks of bodybuilding? Is Venice Beete really?
Speaker 16: Yes, okay of bodybuilding, but don't let that mislead you,
Speaker 16: because Europeans aren't crazy about the sport and it's Superstar.
Speaker 5: Bodybuilder, King of Champion Bodybuilders.
Speaker 4: Sorry I'm late.
Speaker 13: I know I've been missing, but these German women just
Speaker 13: won't leave me alone.
Speaker 7: Jump body Stars America a Vita zan.
Speaker 3: Oh but wait a minute, why don't you try bungee jumping?
Speaker 3: It's your turn, Lex, come on.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'd love to, but my lower back's been kind
Speaker 13: of tight to It's a.
Speaker 3: Lot of fun.
Speaker 2: Everyone cameos one word, you know, right Lex? No, Vince
Speaker 2: Pal you heard the pal right there? Yes, indeed that
Speaker 2: was like a slip of the tongue. Pal yea, yeah,
Speaker 2: he wouldn't say pal on a usual he never really
Speaker 2: heard him say that at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing, So yeah quite those are scenes, to say
Speaker 3: the least, and we go from a Vitaze and pet
Speaker 3: to back to Munich as Uli explains that Lex Luger,
Speaker 3: who she says, who you all sure will know about
Speaker 3: that chickened out of the bungee jump. She says, while
Speaker 3: Vince McMahon was very brave and did it, they're putting
Speaker 3: over Vince's brother in the German government. We should put
Speaker 3: over my bravery, please, Carson, put over my bravery and
Speaker 3: Uli get ready.
Speaker 2: For a plunge of your own. And then Ben speculates
Speaker 2: that maybe Oui gets in a hit on Carson here.
Speaker 3: With you're gonna see a real bunging cord tonight out
Speaker 3: of my pants, my penis long and bumpsy translate that
Speaker 3: Ben speculates maybe at this point gets a hidden on
Speaker 3: Carston when she says and from these awesome, awesome bodies,
Speaker 3: We now go to Carston, who's that's spectacular and met
Speaker 3: up with the Legion of Doom and the British Bulldogs
Speaker 3: to interview them, and yes, indeed Carson is with Davy
Speaker 3: Boy Smith and the Legion of I didn't have this one.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't I don't know. I didn't
Speaker 3: record this one, but I didn't record this one.
Speaker 2: Anamal, what do you think of the match tonight? Animal
Speaker 2: says to Vince McMahon, thanks for the bungee jump dedication.
Speaker 2: He puts over Vince having the dedication to the bungee jump,
Speaker 2: he says, Animal says, that just proves to us that
Speaker 2: you're a little bit sick, just like we are. And Carston,
Speaker 2: when Animal is saying this, turns around to Davy Boy
Speaker 2: Smith who's over his shoulder and looks at him almost
Speaker 2: like there was some kind of inside joke about having
Speaker 2: to put over Vince, and they both kind of chuckles. Actually,
Speaker 2: you see Davy boy kind of corpse at that moment.
Speaker 2: But now we have the organ rampage corpse corpse. Yeah
Speaker 2: you've heard that term.
Speaker 3: No, but he's dead. Isn't to corpse to laugh when
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to? On Streege? Maybe I don't know
Speaker 3: it's heard. Uh, all three of them are dead this
Speaker 3: promo segment.
Speaker 2: But now we have European rampage, the best superstars in
Speaker 2: the WWF, the top star in the UK, and Davy
Speaker 2: boy Smith, you got the top tag team in the world.
Speaker 2: The Led Animal says, we're gonna kick butt right here
Speaker 2: in Munich. Garson translates that a bit, and David boy says, well,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be fun in Munich. Ld' is gonna take
Speaker 2: care of the nastiest MOUNTI you want to use the
Speaker 2: shocking stick in Europe, It's gonna be fun the shocking stick.
Speaker 2: He does say that it's gonna be fun to beat
Speaker 2: up the nasty boys twice because I'm coming back in
Speaker 2: the sixteen man Battle Royal later tonight. He says, mind
Speaker 2: comp I think.
Speaker 3: He says something comforting that God help us.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll give you what Ben had to say about
Speaker 2: the translation in just a moment Hawks as well. Isn't
Speaker 2: it so very heartwarming to all the people of Europe
Speaker 2: and Munich tonight to see us come to the ring
Speaker 2: and beat people about the head and shoulders He says
Speaker 2: about the head and shoulders about yeah, yeah, he says,
Speaker 2: we're talking swelling of a fluid sack surrounding the brain,
Speaker 2: deviated septims. Well, you know, all that fun stuff.
Speaker 3: I can definitely see some deviated septims in regards to
Speaker 3: a bunch of them with their fucking cocaine usage, some deviousness.
Speaker 2: Indeed, you see the people in Europe, Hawk says they
Speaker 2: haven't been able to see it up close enough. Well,
Speaker 2: you're going to see it tonight. And then Carston translates
Speaker 2: and he explains, according to Ben, that it's getting full
Speaker 2: at his place and that he's about to ask them
Speaker 2: what they think about their upcoming match. You know, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the room, right you hear
Speaker 2: what Animal has to say, and that Carston, the educated
Speaker 2: translator and interpreter, translates his statement as follows. Yeah, Animal
Speaker 2: naturally dedicated this fight to Vince McMahon from the WWF,
Speaker 2: and in return, he dedicated a bungee jump to them,
Speaker 2: which is not what he meant. He meant Vince did
Speaker 2: the bunche jomb not that he's going to do a
Speaker 2: bunch of jump in Vince's honor. But the word dedication,
Speaker 2: Ben writes from Animal somehow through Carston completely off when
Speaker 2: he said, when he praised Vince for his dedication.
Speaker 3: I don't doubt it, honestly, and.
Speaker 2: Says that Carston translates bulldog statement rather well. And then
Speaker 2: when Hawk runs wild all that stuff about the fluid
Speaker 2: and the burstle sack and whatever he said, Carson translates,
Speaker 2: surely afraid Ben Wright's of German brutality discussions about wrestling, Yeah, naturally.
Speaker 2: Hawk also said that they're going to go all in today.
Speaker 2: They simply want to show the people live in the arena.
Speaker 3: That's that.
Speaker 2: Well, that's all you need. I took a lot of
Speaker 2: the life out of that promo. Beat people about the
Speaker 2: head and shoulders. Didn't make the cut, So what a
Speaker 2: rush back to the arena. As the nasty boys enter,
Speaker 2: Oly lets us know that Carson is coming back to
Speaker 2: the announced position, and Carson says, oh, Oly, let me
Speaker 2: tell you, I could have used your help back there,
Speaker 2: Three of them downright intimidating. You wouldn't believe it. OOI responds, well,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't intimidate me in the slightest. I really don't
Speaker 2: know what your problem is. Carson says, Oh, I'm telling
Speaker 2: you you never know what happens when those guys you
Speaker 2: should have been there. They are ready for this match.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, Oli, I could feel that all the
Speaker 2: way from here. That really hit and I'm sure the
Speaker 2: people at home got it too. Here comes the Mounte
Speaker 2: and he sings a little bit into the camera with
Speaker 2: Jimmy Hart from the nineteen ninety two miss in.
Speaker 3: This matchup asolutely he does, I do want to say
Speaker 3: to This match aired on the June twenty second, nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety two episode of Prime Time Wrestling, And uh, here
Speaker 3: are Gorilla Monsoon and uh, I don't know Iflorida was
Speaker 3: on this clipper not, but they're welcoming us to Olympia Hall.
Speaker 4: Hello everyone, and welcome.
Speaker 3: To the iPad.
Speaker 4: Mun So his lordship, what cover show up? A hall
Speaker 4: of that one?
Speaker 5: Learning ring your first you fall around?
Speaker 4: That was no.
Speaker 3: Go yep, that's a rarity call out Nelson Schwegler. It's awesome, funny,
Speaker 3: so absolutely it is nasty classic music. Yeah, exactly, that's good.
Speaker 3: That's really good. That's good. That's It's what I was
Speaker 3: looking for.
Speaker 2: Knobs threatening ringsiders. On his way out, Davy Boy comes
Speaker 2: up to a huge pop. Were splendent in the Union.
Speaker 2: Jack Sequin cape Oui tells us that the Bulldog is
Speaker 2: the crowd favorite and the crowd puller. She regrets that
Speaker 2: he did not bring his dog, and Carston corrects her,
Speaker 2: explaining that the dog is in dog heaven always what always,
Speaker 2: bringing the the positivity Yeah, barrenly to the German wrestling crowd,
Speaker 2: Davy boy Smith's bulldog is dead.
Speaker 3: That wisdom is dead. It's wisdom now because you know that.
Speaker 2: There was also reference made one time and I don't
Speaker 2: know like where this comes from, but apparently at some
Speaker 2: point along the line it was Uli or Carston, somebody
Speaker 2: told the audience that Bruiser Brodie's ashes were in the
Speaker 2: Undertaker's earn.
Speaker 3: What that was said?
Speaker 2: I read it one too many times in preparing and
Speaker 2: looking the stuff been prepared to nothink that it was said.
Speaker 2: I don't know when or where it was said. That's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: So German fans thought that bizarre, truly bizarre. But they
Speaker 2: would just you know, they would just make things up.
Speaker 2: It's not like it would get back to the US
Speaker 2: Office to stoppers. So yeah, Apparently Carson says the dogs
Speaker 2: and dog heaven and Uli then says he could bring
Speaker 2: puppy offspring with him then instead what she doesn't?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: So the old gets a pop too. Adults on their feet,
Speaker 2: look can I just stop. You could the led walk
Speaker 2: to the ring or what?
Speaker 3: Holy for sure?
Speaker 2: List, I mean, they are just the way they come out,
Speaker 2: it's like this is not a joke, Like these guys
Speaker 2: are gonna fuck somebody up. Yep, you're in trouble. You
Speaker 2: just opened the animal cage door. And it's like just
Speaker 2: the way they walked to that ring. They weren't playing
Speaker 2: to the crowd. They got in the ring and played
Speaker 2: to the crowd, but the walk, it's like they just
Speaker 2: are in an absolute rush to get in there and
Speaker 2: start throwing.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh they're fucking they are. They They had
Speaker 3: such a way ye to to really make you believe
Speaker 3: that that that there's gonna be someone's getting hurt tonight. Right,
Speaker 3: someone's getting fucking hurt tonight. It's righteous, like they have
Speaker 3: they have cause to go absolutely crazy. You know, they
Speaker 3: don't have to pretend to be you know, by the
Speaker 3: books pro wrestlers here in sportsmen, they have because of
Speaker 3: who they're in the ring with, they have license to
Speaker 3: really go Chicago on them, right And yeah, as Ben says,
Speaker 3: the l d enters the arena and are the coolest
Speaker 3: tag team of all time. Early and Carston lose their shit.
Speaker 3: They are afraid that the roof comes off the place.
Speaker 3: They wish us all that we could be with them
Speaker 3: to experience it live. As Uli says, this is one
Speaker 3: big party. Everybody is agreeing with each other, everybody's happy.
Speaker 3: There are no power struggles like in some other sports.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to mention that I think had notes.
Speaker 3: Okayly no power struggles in wrestling. You're more than anybody
Speaker 3: should be able to test. To the opposite, right, it's
Speaker 3: the lead of Doom and Davy Boys. Smith the British
Speaker 3: Bulldog vers with the Nasty Boys in the Mountain, a
Speaker 3: six man tag team match. The yeoder on the ropes,
Speaker 3: getting the crowd so fucking fired up. Just absolute scenes
Speaker 3: as they hit Germany and then the heels raise their
Speaker 3: arms and all sides of the ring to a round
Speaker 3: of years ld chants breakout, they say in the commentary.
Speaker 3: The crowd chants, I guess gets gets lost, which means
Speaker 3: it's kicking off a German crowd chant. Ben tells us
Speaker 3: that has often heard at sports events, expressing excitement and
Speaker 3: signaling the official started the action. As Carston again tells
Speaker 3: Uli how scared these guys were backstage and Uly wonders
Speaker 3: how it would how scary I think he means to
Speaker 3: say these guys were backstage, and Uly wonders how it
Speaker 3: would be if Hawk had eaten onions before such a situation.
Speaker 3: I do question that myself.
Speaker 2: Ad breath on top of it, Knobs talking shit, an
Speaker 2: animal says, you're going to be history after tonight, like
Speaker 2: all these people their history. The people are history after tonight,
Speaker 2: like all these people. Yeah, that's what he says. I
Speaker 2: don't know what he means by that. Animal shoves him
Speaker 2: down and wigs out with punches Untilknobs hits the floor
Speaker 2: as Jimmy Hart screams at the reft to watch the
Speaker 2: low blow. There was nothing even approximating a low blow.
Speaker 3: But I'll take that as Jimmy Hart moment for sure.
Speaker 3: Sure for Sures laid some right hands whipping a duck.
Speaker 3: He actually ducks too and runs Knobs over to his
Speaker 3: animal with a lariat, and they explode. That They absolutely explode.
Speaker 3: So Lord Al and Gorilla talk about the tour continuing,
Speaker 3: but ironically despite it being over for months, you know,
Speaker 3: because by the time they've done this, it's it's months
Speaker 3: since the tour ended, and but their next up. They
Speaker 3: talk about Sheffield coming up, that we we've done, and
Speaker 3: Lord Al brings up Davy Boy winning the Royal Samovar Trophy.
Speaker 8: Yes, that's overish, not deep.
Speaker 5: Pot wasn't What was that?
Speaker 4: I half coding they o bear.
Speaker 5: Something and it's a path, but it's a vild pa
Speaker 5: about Oh wow, that was layd All put it in
Speaker 5: a whole different perspective.
Speaker 4: I thought that is that they did like the color
Speaker 4: polish up before my name right Wolf?
Speaker 5: Well, he could have used a little pology to himself.
Speaker 1: I remember that guy very well.
Speaker 5: Did you get a whip for the owner that came
Speaker 5: out of that thing when they opened it up?
Speaker 4: Album? Ask him old coffee, no way.
Speaker 1: Back and hit it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god? How long did they go in on
Speaker 3: the fucking Samovar trophy from fucking eight months earlier?
Speaker 2: Was talking over all the entrances and everything scenes like
Speaker 2: crazy in Munich, people going nuts and coffee pot gotta
Speaker 2: have fun making fun, pal, I guess, and Hawk comes
Speaker 2: in and drops SAgs and the mount he doesn't even bother,
Speaker 2: which is awesome. They fuck this so Mounty waves off
Speaker 2: animal and points to Teddy Biassi and does the chicken
Speaker 2: because he wants him in the ring and Davy Boy
Speaker 2: tags in and Mounie goes to tag out immediately, but
Speaker 2: the Nasties walk away and Mouneie is screwed because they're
Speaker 2: not going to provide the relief. He hits the floor
Speaker 2: with Davy Boy stomping one leg to get the crowd
Speaker 2: going and it works. Mounty and Davy Boy Smith mix
Speaker 2: it up Mound he kicks the gut whip reversed, Davy
Speaker 2: Boy lifts with a huge gorilla press and a few
Speaker 2: pumps before he dumps the Mounty. Jimmy Hart screams, get up, Mounie,
Speaker 2: thanks for the advice. Davy Boy with the headlock. Mounie
Speaker 2: grabs the dreadlocks of Davy Boy to counter that shoots off.
Speaker 2: Two leap frogs drop down and Davy Boy drops a
Speaker 2: head butt to a prone Mounty on the canvas. Hawk
Speaker 2: comes in with SAgs and hisses at him like a
Speaker 2: stray cat, coloring elbow to the corner. SAgs grabs and
Speaker 2: turns and goes to work on Hawk, but he reverses
Speaker 2: and they pop as Hawk lays in knief chops and
Speaker 2: clubbing shots and Nasty Boy knobs whip reversed footcut Inzagury
Speaker 2: drops SAgs from Hawk and he retreats. Hawk goes out
Speaker 2: after him, giving chase on the outside of the ring,
Speaker 2: rolls back in and catches Hawk on the way in
Speaker 2: does SAgs.
Speaker 3: Gorilla hypes up the uh. The latest issue of the
Speaker 3: w b F magazine, Oh God Hot on the news
Speaker 3: stands at the time, featuring Iron Warrior Mike Christian on
Speaker 3: the cover. Oh what a fucking legend he was in
Speaker 3: the circuit. Gotta check out the WBF Body Stars nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety two episodes.
Speaker 2: You gotta see it, you gotta want it. That's right,
Speaker 2: SAgs with a whip and Hawk stops and diamonds slow
Speaker 2: hanging as only he could. Nobbs comes in, gets kicked,
Speaker 2: and Hawk with a double face planned on both nasties
Speaker 2: to a huge reaction. Hawk with some right hands in
Speaker 2: the corner on Jerry Sagg's whip. He moves and Hawks
Speaker 2: soars into the post, try to do a splash and
Speaker 2: hits the floor his shoulder first rather into the post.
Speaker 2: Knobbs then loads Hawk back into the ring. Mountie stomps
Speaker 2: on him. Megaphone is tossed in as Animal tries to
Speaker 2: get into the Fray. SAgs hit the ring Fray.
Speaker 3: That's good.
Speaker 2: SAgs hits Hawk behind the head with the fucking megaphone.
Speaker 2: Mounie covers him, but still that's only good for two.
Speaker 2: They stay double teaming Hawk, SAgs scrops him with a
Speaker 2: back elbow that gets to Mounie. Comes in off the
Speaker 2: middle rope with a sledgehammer, then grabs a camel clutch.
Speaker 2: Animal stands up and falls back and the Moundie's head
Speaker 2: snaps back, but he's still holds on interestingly to the
Speaker 2: hold tags Knobs, and Knobs comes in with repeated elbow drops.
Speaker 2: The cover gets to Knobs with a backbreaker. He tags
Speaker 2: the Mountain, who goes up for a splash, but the
Speaker 2: knees get up.
Speaker 3: Do you think SAgs is a sister and mother made
Speaker 3: it to Germany.
Speaker 2: Well being died in the world Pennsylvanians, I'm sure they.
Speaker 2: They had plenty of plenty of Germanica wherewithal true.
Speaker 3: I bet they went.
Speaker 2: I do, And I'm not sure they got in a
Speaker 2: brawl with the ld at a beer hall.
Speaker 3: They got a brawl with him in the Olympia Hall.
Speaker 2: So Hawk gets the knees up on Mounty splash attempt
Speaker 2: mount He lands across the knees and Hawk pulls himself
Speaker 2: along the ropes. That was always great to make the
Speaker 2: desperation tag. Using it like a zip line almost makes
Speaker 2: the tag. An Animal comes in there, drop kicking everyone.
Speaker 3: Awesome scenes whip in the sc Listen when he comes
Speaker 3: in and fucking starts drop kicking everybody. I mean, like,
Speaker 3: I know, I've seen I've seen Animal drop kick a
Speaker 3: thousand times, all right, but it's still a great visual
Speaker 3: to see because you just you kind of you still
Speaker 3: don't expect it, right, even though I've seen it, you
Speaker 3: don't expect it when it happens. Agree, it's unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, when he comes in there, he cleans house. And
Speaker 2: Hawk was a great you know, as powerful as Hawk was,
Speaker 2: he was a great baby face in peril. He was
Speaker 2: for the team. Yes, really was a dynamic that worked.
Speaker 2: Whip and Noobbs eats the flying tackle of Animal and
Speaker 2: then Davy Boy Smith comes into double whipping a double
Speaker 2: arreat from Animal and Davy Boy. Davy Boy hooks up
Speaker 2: the high vertical tu plex on Brian Noobbs. Mounty breaks
Speaker 2: it up though, and gets floored by Davy Boy Knobbs
Speaker 2: goes to the eye. It becomes a peer six brawl.
Speaker 2: They closeline SAgs out of the ring, but he clips
Speaker 2: Joey Morella almost in traffic. Yeah, it was kind of weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know if the reroff is supposed to be
Speaker 2: bumped or what. But after that cross up, they both
Speaker 2: iriship knobs in and Davy Boy Smith hits a power slam.
Speaker 2: They actually the lod both double Irish whip knobs into
Speaker 2: a waiting Davy Boy on the opposite corner, which is
Speaker 2: kind of a neat way to get in to finish. Sure,
Speaker 2: you know, Knobbs has no choice but to go charging
Speaker 2: into Davy's pickup and then he hit the running power
Speaker 2: slam one, two and three. Good finish, good style.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was a good and listen, this was a
Speaker 3: This was an all an, all right brawl, an all
Speaker 3: right brawl.
Speaker 2: Indeed he was She met the birsh bulldog mellowded if
Speaker 2: you did Nasties and Mounty here in Munich Matrix sign
Speaker 2: in the crowd, says British bulldog Baby fresh off in
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two printer the Banner Style print Shop.
Speaker 3: We used to have to do, I know, right. They
Speaker 3: would page after page after page, page after page, line
Speaker 3: after line. Oh god, it was it took forever. It
Speaker 3: took forever for that stuff to print, like it would
Speaker 3: take days. And it was miraculous. Yep, you loved it.
Speaker 3: You loved it. You didn't feel like it was too slow,
Speaker 3: you know, to be worth the effort at all. Well,
Speaker 3: I I did until until I would go to my
Speaker 3: dad's work and you hat a laser printer, like when
Speaker 3: those started hitting, yeah, and I was like, like, wait
Speaker 3: a minute, you're telling me that I can print up
Speaker 3: a fucking I can print up two pages in less
Speaker 3: than ten minutes. Wow. That was Yeah.
Speaker 2: I still remember seeing one of those for the first time.
Speaker 2: I do being blown away. So Carston's with Brett Hart
Speaker 2: backstage title, Man, I don't have this one either.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I didn't record this one either.
Speaker 2: I just got to say, after beating Roddy at Wrestleminiate,
Speaker 2: holding the WWF and Couttonae belt is going to be
Speaker 2: that much harder, Brett says, getting past you know, Bravo
Speaker 2: was no easy task. But because the people in here
Speaker 2: in Deutsch lender behind me, I rolled over on top
Speaker 2: of him. He asks you questions in a bunch of German.
Speaker 2: The big guy in my mind right now, Brett says,
Speaker 2: is Shawn Michaels.
Speaker 3: Yea, do what you got to do? They were, they were,
Speaker 3: I mean they they really play that up right from
Speaker 3: the get go, the Shawn Michaels program. I remember, tell
Speaker 3: that's going to be big. Yeah, he says, do what
Speaker 3: you gotta do.
Speaker 2: But the excellence of execution is waiting. It's going to
Speaker 2: be on the ball in Deutsch Lene and he says
Speaker 2: wonder bar as well, and he says the ex all
Speaker 2: execution Christ Brett absolutely idiot. Here's how Carson translated the
Speaker 2: hitman's statement, Brett Hard is very happy that he defended
Speaker 2: his title here in Germany. Oh, well, we are happy
Speaker 2: that we've had him here. And then Carson is confused.
Speaker 2: Ben says, he says that he should have had more
Speaker 2: interview guests. He stumbles over his words a little, and
Speaker 2: then he says he's excited about what happens next, and
Speaker 2: then just puts the microphone in Brett's face without asking
Speaker 2: him anything.
Speaker 3: He goes off on.
Speaker 2: Brett goes off on Seawan Michaels and utters the word
Speaker 2: wonder bar. Which means wonderful. Miss Carston says, you heard it.
Speaker 2: The Hitman wants to defend his title and he prefers
Speaker 2: to do that against Shawn Michaels. Let's wait and see
Speaker 2: if he gets that done. Oh, there he is Shawn Michaels.
Speaker 2: So that kind of awkward, like waiting for something to happen.
Speaker 2: There from Carston was Sean Michaels.
Speaker 3: I see.
Speaker 2: So then Brett leaves and Hbka steps in, so they're
Speaker 2: not trying to kill each other. They're kind of pretending
Speaker 2: they missed each other. And you know something, it seems
Speaker 2: like Shawn Michaels is on the mine everybody all over
Speaker 2: the world.
Speaker 3: Hit Man, Brett Harris fucking Shawn Michaels and his little
Speaker 3: idiot things. I think he's got news for us, boss,
Speaker 3: I got news for you. You had one tough one
Speaker 3: to day in Dino Bravo. You better consider yourself a
Speaker 3: real lucky man that you didn't. It's good he's the
Speaker 3: sexiest man alive, Sean Michaels, because you would have been
Speaker 3: the shortest reigning champion ever. Sherry with dusting him off
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's so great and it is pretty wild. Let me
Speaker 2: do tonight. You have a difficult task in Randy Savage.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about say short lived champions. What you're looking
Speaker 2: at right here is the shape of things to come,
Speaker 2: the new wave of the nineties, and tonight the biggest
Speaker 2: night of Shawn Michael's life, the ww FI Way Championship.
Speaker 2: Macho man, Randy Savage a legend. Well, I got news
Speaker 2: for you, legend. There it is, Randy Legend. Even the
Speaker 2: great dinosaurs had to come to an end, and I
Speaker 2: got new for you, I said again, he says, it's
Speaker 2: I got news for you as the new man on
Speaker 2: the block. And you're looking at him.
Speaker 3: Tell him. It sounds like he's saying, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It sounds like he says, Sean Michael sucks all those
Speaker 3: he's doing, like the the what the wrizzler does now,
Speaker 3: like the mewing with his finger on his jawline. You
Speaker 3: know you don't even even I can't do that. Ship.
Speaker 3: Do you know that that fat little kid is in
Speaker 3: a w Do you know that comes out and does
Speaker 3: they've had him like four or five times? Serious? What
Speaker 3: is wrong with them? What the fuck is wrong with them? Oh?
Speaker 3: My kid does it all the time? Drives me nuts.
Speaker 3: I cannot stand it. One bit talker, idiot, stupid television
Speaker 3: looks like the Twizzler to me, damn right. HBK says,
Speaker 3: you're not talking anywhere the Drizzler. To me, you're not drift,
Speaker 3: You're not talking to Sherry. You talk to me. I've
Speaker 3: always been a real popular guy. Heart can't seem to
Speaker 3: get HBK out of his mind. Randy Savage can't all
Speaker 3: of Germany. The Battle Royal, what yeah, exactly what a
Speaker 3: night I got? Sherry?
Speaker 2: Now you can't get me off your mind. Battle Royal,
Speaker 2: WWF title, Intercontinental title. Man, I feel good, and Sherry says, Sean,
Speaker 2: we have an important we have important things to do.
Speaker 2: Sewan Michaels is leaving the interview. Here's what A Carston translated.
Speaker 2: Sean Michaels is saying. Shawn Michaels is sure that he
Speaker 2: would have beaten Brett hard and he did not face
Speaker 2: him tonight. Yes, Ben says, he says it exactly like that.
Speaker 2: Maybe they inserted all that because of the card change. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe because it was supposed to be Brett or Shawn,
Speaker 2: And maybe they're trying to do something to address that
Speaker 2: possibility in the fan's mind. Anyway, HBK makes another statement
Speaker 2: of Carson translate, Shawn Michael says, and I almost have
Speaker 2: to laugh that he's going to reclaim this title tonight,
Speaker 2: or rather secure this title from Randy Machaman Savage. He adds, well,
Speaker 2: we'll see about that later. But of course he has
Speaker 2: an ally and that sensational Sherry, and she knows Randy
Speaker 2: Savage very well. Good insight there from Carson.
Speaker 3: I I appreciate that they bring that up. You know,
Speaker 3: that really makes me happy that that they bring up
Speaker 3: the relationship, because that was that's key. That's key it is.
Speaker 2: It makes them, it heightens the match for sure. They
Speaker 2: do that T shirts and poster her at again with
Speaker 2: the Metallica song and the foam belt fed Do they
Speaker 2: imply that that that Sherry and Randy fucked? Has that
Speaker 2: been the implication?
Speaker 3: I never really knew if that was kind of you know,
Speaker 3: and if she really managed him or if they actually
Speaker 3: got it on.
Speaker 2: It's a great question. And as much as she was
Speaker 2: all over Sean, I never even really got the impression
Speaker 2: that Sean fucked her, that she was she would have
Speaker 2: done it.
Speaker 3: Like instantly. I got the idea that they were. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean that was her thing. Like she she didn't
Speaker 3: want to manage him. She was in love with him,
Speaker 3: she was, Yeah, And.
Speaker 2: I always thought he was just taking advantage of that
Speaker 2: and string along. But listen, he's got needs to Absolutely,
Speaker 2: he's got desires, he's got things that need to be pleasured.
Speaker 2: So you know, you can't blame the guy for just fucking.
Speaker 3: Awesome, fucking incredible.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would know it's Savage. I never felt that way.
Speaker 2: I felt like it was just like it was someone
Speaker 2: that hated Elizabeth so much that she would get with Savage.
Speaker 2: She would she would manage Savage in a professional capacity
Speaker 2: just to piss off Elizabeth. Yeah, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: just to really get at Elizabeth. That's what she wanted
Speaker 2: more than anything. She wasn't in love with Ready Savage.
Speaker 2: She just hated Elizabeth. That was kind of what I
Speaker 2: thought that maybe not, I don't know. So Carson and
Speaker 2: Sherry step back into frame all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: Real quick. Yeah, that was fucking weird, Like I don't
Speaker 3: know what cut back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they flashed the graphic over it for the
Speaker 2: upcoming title match and the sixteen Men Rubbles still to come.
Speaker 2: Carson and Eli are doing a stand up. Now Carson's
Speaker 2: getting they seem they both say Mike McGurk in synchrony.
Speaker 2: They both uh pitched to Mike McGurk at the same time.
Speaker 2: And here comes Papa Shango though with this original smoking skull.
Speaker 3: That's good. I didn't think of that one. And that
Speaker 3: all these first comings of Steve Austin here who knew?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Was he the second coming with the ball head? And
Speaker 3: maybe that's a good point.
Speaker 2: They managed to find all these one kid looking stone
Speaker 2: faced on the Papa Shango entrance, which they always had
Speaker 2: to do. Papa, let's off a spark in his hand,
Speaker 2: but some kind of gimmicky yes, Topa does And here
Speaker 2: comes Ill matt at or doesn't.
Speaker 3: Kang Kang kank kank kank Kang Kango Kang Kang kang
Speaker 3: can kang gang ganging King King King bou so good.
Speaker 3: So there he is from Tekula, Mexico. They actually is uh,
Speaker 3: It's true, his uh his ninety two. His Matador theme
Speaker 3: is very underrated. I used to like it a lot.
Speaker 2: I do the whole thing off the top of my
Speaker 2: end to this day. Absolutely they hit the menacing low
Speaker 2: angle for the skull hanging in the corner of Papashan.
Speaker 3: Did I ever tell did I ever say that, you
Speaker 3: know when I so when I was in fifth and
Speaker 3: sixth grade, that I you know, when I rode the
Speaker 3: bus to school or I never wrote to two school
Speaker 3: because I was, you know, on the way. It is
Speaker 3: like the first kids who get picked up are always
Speaker 3: the last to be dropped off at home. It's like
Speaker 3: a weird fucking So I wouldn't take the bus to
Speaker 3: school because it got I had to get there out
Speaker 3: at the get up so fucking early. So but I
Speaker 3: took it home. And uh, what I would do because
Speaker 3: it was such a it was like an hour long
Speaker 3: bus ride home. It's like an hour long bus ride
Speaker 3: home and so and I had no friends on the bus.
Speaker 3: And so what I would do is I would hum
Speaker 3: wrestling theme songs to myself. Is that right? I would
Speaker 3: do that. I would try to get as many and
Speaker 3: as possible before I went home, and when I got home,
Speaker 3: when I was nearing home, I would always it would
Speaker 3: be real American, be the last one one. But I'd
Speaker 3: do Demolition. I would do Tito's theme, I do Warrior,
Speaker 3: I do all of them, all of them. I just
Speaker 3: kind of hum them to myself, kind of like it
Speaker 3: was it was what I would do to just let
Speaker 3: the time fly by. That's a tremendous memory. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I used to sometimes, like if I was in between,
Speaker 3: you know, walking somewhere, I would like try to list
Speaker 3: the title holders in my Yes, I would go through
Speaker 3: all the champions of w w F and w CW
Speaker 3: and ECW and my god, that's so wild. For no reason,
Speaker 3: I would do this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the sort of shortcuts to kill time that
Speaker 2: the wrestling fan has at his disposal, maybe not everybody
Speaker 2: else does look at it that way.
Speaker 3: And and uh yeah days before when you didn't have
Speaker 3: a fucking phone to to numb you on the that's
Speaker 3: really what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why that doesn't exist anymore, because you know,
Speaker 2: it's like, what are you doing your board? Yeah, the
Speaker 2: modern persons can't be board.
Speaker 3: I have this thing right immediately, I'm you know, I
Speaker 3: fall on some kind of public transportation. I immediately, oh
Speaker 3: so flip on foot on a movie. I'm always watching
Speaker 3: a movie on on public transit, no question.
Speaker 2: So the bright pink and yellow cape of El Mattador
Speaker 2: stands in strong contrast to the smoking black and gray
Speaker 2: skull hanging in the corner, and they all lay along
Speaker 2: with him. Here in Germany Foreshore, as Elmattador faces Papa Shango.
Speaker 2: Here Tito dodges a lock up early. And that's in
Speaker 2: the spirit of Ola, isn't it. He's sidestepping him like
Speaker 2: a bull. That's your damn right, he is, and they're
Speaker 2: getting it.
Speaker 3: You know this match?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 3: Wait, no, this match? Did this match air?
Speaker 16: Oh?
Speaker 3: This match aired in the States on July sixth, nineteen
Speaker 3: ninety two, the episode of Primetime Wrestling. Now, this is
Speaker 3: a very very important episode of Primetime Wrestling for me.
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 1: He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack and a
Speaker 1: Seo and JP Soro.
Speaker 4: It's the last fan wrestling.
Speaker 3: Podcast because this is the episode that I had recorded
Speaker 3: in the summer of nineteen ninety two that featured the
Speaker 3: first ever forty man Battle Royal won by the Berserker Wow,
Speaker 3: which then prompted Randy Savage to say the following after
Speaker 3: the match, and I do remember that Battle Royal. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You got to understand something though. That is the babyface
Speaker 3: WW champion congratulating, not at all. He's a plot. He's clapping.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a legit thing. And it was very
Speaker 3: jarring to me, right because I also hadn't you know,
Speaker 3: I hadn't been privy to the year prior when Savage
Speaker 3: was quote unquote retired, and even though he was a
Speaker 3: baby face, he'd still kind of have some heel aspects
Speaker 3: to his character, you know, like he's still kind of
Speaker 3: like he was kind of on the fence sometimes with
Speaker 3: certain things, and so I wasn't aware of that. So
Speaker 3: I wasn't used to that, to the fact that he would,
Speaker 3: you know, he'd call it right down the middle and
Speaker 3: he'd you know, he would side with heels if he
Speaker 3: needed to. So that was very jarring to me at
Speaker 3: the time. But I I listen that for some reason this,
Speaker 3: I mean, it was on that megatape that I had
Speaker 3: of of wrestling, so I watched a thousand times. But
Speaker 3: just fucking so glad you found that. I mean, I
Speaker 3: was thrilled when I when I when I just when
Speaker 3: I found out it was that episode of Prime Time rastling,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, are you fucking kidding me? So I
Speaker 3: have this match.
Speaker 2: I have this match basically on VHS for a long time.
Speaker 2: It's really fascinating. Not something I expected when we did
Speaker 2: the Germany show. Now right, so yes, Tito grabs the
Speaker 2: waist of the corner. They go, and Papa Shogo breaks
Speaker 2: and its back elbow and throw some hands and hits
Speaker 2: a head butt quarter to corner, hits in the bones,
Speaker 2: rattle as Tito Santana takes the buckling. Papa rakes away
Speaker 2: whipping a slam, misses a huge jumping elbow as Papa Shango.
Speaker 2: That opens the opportunity for Tito to start slugging away.
Speaker 3: I missed one of the things too, I apologize. Gorilla
Speaker 3: and Lord Al still on the call, they discussed Papa
Speaker 3: Shango's prop skull, but in a very unique way. Now
Speaker 3: there's no question in anyone's mind, Alfred, that that is
Speaker 3: a human skull.
Speaker 4: It's not a fact. I didn't know that is. I
Speaker 4: thought maybe it was an apes skull or something like that,
Speaker 4: but it's not happen.
Speaker 5: It's a human skull. Buy one quite easily.
Speaker 3: I understand why some of these crematories, and you can come.
Speaker 8: Out of there with anything from a shin bone to
Speaker 8: the whole body if you like, if you don't desire.
Speaker 4: And have the proper powder my goodness, that's so funny.
Speaker 3: They're talking about, like as a real fucking human skull.
Speaker 3: That's their version of Bruiser Bodie's ashes in the in
Speaker 3: the air. I guess so a real human skull. Freaking
Speaker 3: idiots just take away any opportunity to take any of it. Seriously,
Speaker 3: would you? Would you like? I mean like seriously, you
Speaker 3: wouldn't have the guy arrested in question for having a
Speaker 3: human skull a cadaver? You know those are sold in
Speaker 3: the open market. I guess fine.
Speaker 16: You know.
Speaker 2: This is a huge jumping elbow does this human skull wielder?
Speaker 2: Tito puts on the arm wringer and starts wrenching away.
Speaker 2: Shango pushes off Tito ducks and lands right hands and
Speaker 2: a lariat. But Papa won't go down.
Speaker 3: It's very noticeable here calling him Papa fucking kills me.
Speaker 2: And another one dropped him to a knee. But he
Speaker 2: just won't bump. He won't take a bump. And this
Speaker 2: will be important later I know, goes back to the
Speaker 2: arm to the ropes, shoots off Tito Ducks. H's a
Speaker 2: great cross body block that only gets too is Papa's
Speaker 2: Shango in the kickout Tito, absolutely flying off the top
Speaker 2: of him and slugs him the way back in. Papashango
Speaker 2: takes a knee as Tito ales and does strange jerking
Speaker 2: motions with his arms to a series of gears. Now
Speaker 2: he's digging in the eyes as Papa Shango and pulling
Speaker 2: up on the chin with Tito's head under the bottom rope,
Speaker 2: heaving breaths from Papa Shango. He knew how to make
Speaker 2: those guttural sounds. Yeah, I'm sure he's not just fucking
Speaker 2: exhausted toilet basically. Yeah, that's definitely something we do not
Speaker 2: want to witness. Is fucking Charles right on the fucking can,
Speaker 2: Charles wrong, Charles damn right, Irish whipping a huge flying
Speaker 2: clothesline scores for Papa Shango putting down Tito. Papa Shango
Speaker 2: drops a head butt to the gut, puts on the
Speaker 2: camel clutch Tito with some great moaning and groaning while
Speaker 2: entrapped in the hold. Pabashanko, looking over her shoulder like
Speaker 2: hul cokein with the Tito hulks back up, what builds
Speaker 2: back up what it hits the ropes and fires off
Speaker 2: a shot, but Papa Shanko is still on him, works
Speaker 2: him over in the corner, corner to corner Irish whip
Speaker 2: and Tito sidesteps and Papa Shanko splashes the corner, Tito
Speaker 2: now kicking away the Irish whip. Shango ricochets out of
Speaker 2: the corner and drops Tito with a big clothes line.
Speaker 2: Papashanko with the side back breaker, comes off in the
Speaker 2: middle rope and misses a big elbow drop and you
Speaker 2: can tell you landa right on that elbow because it
Speaker 2: makes almost no sound when he hits the mat. Carson
Speaker 2: at this point tells Uli that he has to leave
Speaker 2: to do an interview again in The match ends ninety
Speaker 2: seconds later as Ben asks wrestling maybe fake or Carston
Speaker 2: Schaffer is just the master of puppets. Tito fires off
Speaker 2: some shots building back up momentum, drop kick into the
Speaker 2: corner and another and is at this point. If you
Speaker 2: watch this, it gets really weird because Tito has to
Speaker 2: shout at Papa Shango, come on, take a bump. He
Speaker 2: screams like fucking miss that. He shouts that at him,
Speaker 2: and then he does off another dropkick. But for some reason,
Speaker 2: Papa Schango went into that match thinking he's got to
Speaker 2: look super strong and not bump off anything Tito throws
Speaker 2: at him. And in fact, when Tito goes to cover
Speaker 2: him again, papah Shango does that superman kickout. Yes he does,
Speaker 2: and then the match just falls apart, so I can
Speaker 2: kind of I don't know, there's there's some miscommunication, there's
Speaker 2: some disagreement going on. I haven't seen anything. Like Tito
Speaker 2: calls out a lot of stuff like this in his book,
Speaker 2: but he says nothing about this particular match. He was
Speaker 2: he was just in misery because he hated the al
Speaker 2: Matador gimmick and knew it was one step to complete
Speaker 2: a relevancy at a time when he thought he might
Speaker 2: actually have a shot at, you know, being a top guy.
Speaker 3: Why Tito, listen, I love you. You're, You're, You're, You're
Speaker 3: you're a great, You're a legend. All right, you're you
Speaker 3: deserve all this ship. But like what the fuck? Man?
Speaker 3: Like you know, Vince has done with you right exactly,
Speaker 3: Like come on, man, wear the cape, the uh uh
Speaker 3: the so on. On the the Primetime commentary, they they
Speaker 3: talk about somebody who's been hanging around Papa Shango. They
Speaker 3: say he's tall and wears glasses and is named Will
Speaker 3: or Bill or something. Do you know what that what
Speaker 3: that was?
Speaker 15: Like?
Speaker 3: I had no idea what the fuck they were talking about.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what they're talking about. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 3: someone that they always said was hanging around called Bill
Speaker 3: or Will. I'm trying to think of anybody, like obviously
Speaker 3: it's a it's a it's a it's a it's a
Speaker 3: you know, inside joke reference to somebody. Yeah, I have
Speaker 3: no idea what that's supposed to mean. Yeah, you worth
Speaker 3: asking him one day?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, would be.
Speaker 2: That would be That would be the lapsed fan question,
Speaker 2: you know, like we always talk about when we get
Speaker 2: access to these guys, We asked the one question that
Speaker 2: would only mean anything to us and our fans. Yes,
Speaker 2: and takes full advantage of the fact that we don't
Speaker 2: need more than five minutes in these guys times exactly.
Speaker 15: So.
Speaker 2: Yeah, after he takes the bump, Tito slaps the matt hard,
Speaker 2: almost in frustration. He does an Irish whip hits him
Speaker 2: of the backdrop, and Papa Shanko does go up for
Speaker 2: that one, and then Tito signals that he isn't gonna
Speaker 2: go for the forearm and he hits it, but he
Speaker 2: kicks out at one. Papashanko totally knows to finish. Who
Speaker 2: goes to the top rope cross body and Papashango rolls
Speaker 2: through on top of Santana and hooks him for the
Speaker 2: one two three.
Speaker 3: Yep, went wrong here.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not the finish you book for a
Speaker 2: Papa Shango that's going to kick out.
Speaker 3: No, you're wrong, Yeah, something happened. You're right, I agree.
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 2: I was like, that's a very weird finish, and it
Speaker 2: gets really awkward afterwards. He just walks around ringside like calmly,
Speaker 2: like he is an acting possessed or rat or victorious.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: He seems kind of pissed off, and he puts on
Speaker 2: his hat and necklace while Tito just stands there and
Speaker 2: watches him.
Speaker 15: It's weird, and I.
Speaker 3: Want to say here, so at the a little bit
Speaker 3: before the end of the match, like keep mind, this
Speaker 3: is July sixth, okay and different different episode all right
Speaker 3: of Primetime Wrestling, and Gorilla is approached by some is
Speaker 3: quote unquote approached by somebody while he's at the announced
Speaker 3: booth there or at the announced table. No, we don't
Speaker 3: please don't follow us. We're doing the broadcast.
Speaker 8: Can you believe this Nelson Spider looking for some groceries.
Speaker 4: Any takes for free?
Speaker 16: That?
Speaker 4: Whow was a free.
Speaker 3: Another Nelson Schwegler thing. That must have been a much
Speaker 3: more common thing than I remember. Yeah, because we're talking
Speaker 3: about that's the last time. I don't know it was. Yeah,
Speaker 3: June twenty second, you know that one, and then this
Speaker 3: is June. This is July sixth. It's wild. It's wild.
Speaker 3: I mean you can see as a kid why you
Speaker 3: wouldn't pay attention to that. It would go what over
Speaker 3: your head?
Speaker 2: But yeah, so we cut down to the wing Eagle
Speaker 2: Championship and it's on the shoulder of the macho man
Speaker 2: Randy Savage and all the right yellow. Randy says, it's
Speaker 2: great to have you on the program, the new champ
Speaker 2: once again. It must feel brilliant. Carson says to him.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, it feels brilliant. Yeah, very very very brilliant.
Speaker 3: Year can't wait to walk through the aisle in the Olympic. Yeah,
Speaker 3: with all those thousands of people out there. Yeah, get ready. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because with the anticipation of the of a heavenly thrill,
Speaker 3: you sean Michaels, You've got to shut up the gold
Speaker 3: just like I've had him the past year, but you
Speaker 3: got him up for the challenge that the people realize
Speaker 3: that the world in a World Championship is really yeah,
Speaker 3: big time Yeah. That's the promo. It's the promo. It's
Speaker 3: fucking verbatim, and then screams yeah, big time yeah at
Speaker 3: the end, yeah, and he says because with the anticipation
Speaker 3: of a heavenly thrill, what he couldn't go anywhere. Then
Speaker 3: Shaeffer brings up Sherry, you have this the Sherry bit
Speaker 3: here translated or no, yes, no.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, tell us about that guy Sean Michael
Speaker 2: should going against Okay, yeah, let's see. Carson says that
Speaker 2: we all know this title. Macho man says, oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Carson says, we all know that sound, and he translates
Speaker 2: Savage's first statement as such, Randy Savage is, of course
Speaker 2: totally of the opinion that Shawn Michaels has to be
Speaker 2: extra cautious tonight because he's dealing with the WWF champion,
Speaker 2: and that's a whole different ball game since Randy Savage
Speaker 2: is of course defending his title.
Speaker 3: That's the second statement, Oh, you've heard some rumors. How
Speaker 3: do you stop a rumor?
Speaker 7: Huh?
Speaker 3: In Munich, Germany. You're going to understand that the intensity
Speaker 3: I have right now is the calm before the storm.
Speaker 3: Sean Michaels. Yeah, because when those thousands of people, yeah
Speaker 3: right here, yeah, here in the European Rampage Tour kick down. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh the way, Sean Michaels, You're gotta be better than good.
Speaker 3: You're gotta be better than the best, because I'm the
Speaker 3: type of person to go all the way on you.
Speaker 3: Sherry will be a nonfactor. Yeah, but if she gets involved,
Speaker 3: I'll get involved.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I'm not the much your man, Randy Savage for nothing?
Speaker 3: Yeah what am I talking about? Read between the lines,
Speaker 3: diggt It will won't be the first time I've taken
Speaker 3: her up and down and everywhere in between. I fucked
Speaker 3: her so hard, pussy popped but a volcano. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: dig it.
Speaker 2: And that's the precise translation he gives. Yes, now, he
Speaker 2: translates the second statement as such. Randy Savage doesn't believe
Speaker 2: that anything can possibly go wrong for him tonight. Well,
Speaker 2: we've got this man here, and now we're handing it
Speaker 2: back to Uli. Of all that shit, he said, that's.
Speaker 3: All he said. It's fully freaking said.
Speaker 2: Here comes Sean to the Sherry version of the music yes,
Speaker 2: with his one finger up the whole time he makes
Speaker 2: the walk. You remember that Sean Michael Tarre introduced here
Speaker 2: as the new WWF champion is Randy Savage, and he's
Speaker 2: limping like crazy.
Speaker 3: Hold on note because this match was featured on the
Speaker 3: Colosseum video WWWE World Tour nineteen ninety two commentary provided
Speaker 3: by Sean Mooney and Lord Alfred Hayes. And and uh
Speaker 3: here is a you know the as Sean's coming down,
Speaker 3: you get Mooney suggesting the relationship between Seawan and Sherry
Speaker 3: maybe more than professional, which upsets Lord al.
Speaker 11: Behind Is because she is.
Speaker 4: More that I don't know that I.
Speaker 11: Like sounds safe for John, like myself.
Speaker 4: You are a kid.
Speaker 5: Here we go.
Speaker 4: Have you actually ever had.
Speaker 3: A conversation which you want to speaking?
Speaker 10: Well?
Speaker 11: Made yourself some trouble, Lordship.
Speaker 4: I did ask for her phone number?
Speaker 20: You did?
Speaker 3: Yes, what did you get?
Speaker 4: I can't even know why.
Speaker 2: He's got a right hand, he said, awesome, amazing. So
Speaker 2: when Savage comes out, he's limping so much that he
Speaker 2: jumps in the ring with one swoop over the middle
Speaker 2: rope both feet because he is he doesn't put one
Speaker 2: foot over the rope first.
Speaker 3: It's amazing, it's it's it's listen, He's salesman of all time.
Speaker 3: He's not the salesman of the year. He's not salesman
Speaker 3: of the month, not salesman another decade. He's the salesman
Speaker 3: of all time.
Speaker 2: That's right, all right, and Ben confirms to the commentators
Speaker 2: do indeed mention that he's limping and connect that to
Speaker 2: Rick Fall and WrestleMania eight. That's fucking amazing, to the
Speaker 2: German television against why Randy Savage was limping? How spectacular,
Speaker 2: how spectacular that they that that he does that?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's.
Speaker 2: It's so brilliant. Nobody would bat an eye if he
Speaker 2: didn't do it. That's right, because because it had been
Speaker 2: over a week, you know, like you think he would
Speaker 2: have gotten in another country. I mean, who even cares
Speaker 2: if he's exactly exactly he's in another country. They haven't.
Speaker 2: Most people haven't fucking seen the show. It's amazing. It's
Speaker 2: an incredible commitment. WWF Championship match much of me and
Speaker 2: Ready Savage defending against Shawn Michaels here at the European
Speaker 2: Rampage again. As Savage limps to the corner, Shawn Michaels
Speaker 2: is watching him and talking trash and takes off the
Speaker 2: ear rings while eyeing the macho man. Savage so skinny
Speaker 2: back then he doesn't look well, oh he doesn't. Ironically,
Speaker 2: you know, you think you'd think off the off the gas,
Speaker 2: he'd look better. But he looks awful, awful. He looks gaunt.
Speaker 2: Yes he has cancer, yeah, yeah, he looks very sick.
Speaker 2: And his outfit is as nineteen ninety two as you
Speaker 2: can get. So he confers with Sherry to Shawn Michaels
Speaker 2: and they dap each other up and Sean dives on
Speaker 2: the leg right away.
Speaker 3: What a great What a great way to open it.
Speaker 2: But Savage is able to sidestep it. Savage slaps the
Speaker 2: shoulder because you know, that's how you prepare for someone
Speaker 2: to shoot on your legs. You slap yourself on the shoulder,
Speaker 2: of course, get the blood flowe on the shoulder to
Speaker 2: protect the leg. Apparently, footwork of Savage and the dancing
Speaker 2: as such that he's keeping the bad leg back, not
Speaker 2: on the it's on his front foot, so he's trying
Speaker 2: to hide it. Sean Michael's coming in real low, faking
Speaker 2: the shot and freaking out Randy at the process. Look
Speaker 2: up to the corner. There's a break and Sean dives
Speaker 2: through and Randy side steps him again and Sean ends
Speaker 2: up tangled all up in the ropes because he's so
Speaker 2: desperately trying to for the leg yep and a lock
Speaker 2: up and ready Savage with the headlock, and Sewan counters
Speaker 2: with the top brist lock, and then Randy comes back
Speaker 2: with a hammer lock back elbow lands and then Sean
Speaker 2: hits the ropes and a tackle gets.
Speaker 3: Too Do you remember, you know, well, I would have
Speaker 3: been apt to this. Actually, you know if there was
Speaker 3: a video game WW European Rampage Tour. There was, Yes,
Speaker 3: it was for It was a computer game. It was
Speaker 3: for the Amiga or the Commodore sixty four whatever it was,
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, and it had you know, a
Speaker 3: lot of the guys from this tour had animal Brett
Speaker 3: Knobs Quakes in that Hawk Hogan's in the game, Irwin SAgs,
Speaker 3: Savage Deebs available in the United States. Well, I don't
Speaker 3: know anything about Amiga. What was that? Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: it's a computer. It was like like a gaming computer
Speaker 3: of sorts. I mean probably was used for other things too,
Speaker 3: but it was it was I guess you could you
Speaker 3: could had it on the Atari, but again Atari st
Speaker 3: was a was a PC of sorts, like there was
Speaker 3: just four games I mean for computers. Yeah, it's it's
Speaker 3: fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: And yeah and floppy disc Look at that, ye, the
Speaker 2: Britannic Arena I'm looking at screenshots.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, like you have you'd have these, and
Speaker 3: then a bunch of the Britannic Arena you'd have and
Speaker 3: then you had uh Deutsch National Arena in Munich and
Speaker 3: then Palais Omnispo. Yeah, all these fucking places, and then
Speaker 3: I guess you could do I'm reading here is uh
Speaker 3: at edemisg the last match is I guess it's it's
Speaker 3: you do tag teams and it's basically it seems like
Speaker 3: what it is is the is the the tag side
Speaker 3: of wrestle Fest. Oh you know, I don't know what
Speaker 3: the graphics look like. I haven't looked at the graphics yet.
Speaker 3: Traffics are pretty good, actually, they're they're much higher end
Speaker 3: than i'd expect. The figures are very they're very much
Speaker 3: like the Super Nintendo. What they would what the Superintendo
Speaker 3: would do when they would when they'd have it. I'm
Speaker 3: looking at it right now, like that's very much like
Speaker 3: the Genesis Super Nintendo type. And they have a fucking
Speaker 3: Sean Mooney like hyping up the and stuff. Yeah, the
Speaker 3: event center. Yeah, it's very much like the Super Nintendo ones. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the Munich Deutsche National Arena one of that ship. So
Speaker 3: were the Nasty Boys in any other game? I think
Speaker 3: they were in the Sega CD range in the Cage.
Speaker 3: I think they were in that one. So many games
Speaker 3: I didn't get to play, I know, I mean yeah, right,
Speaker 3: systems right, I mean who it's like that those are
Speaker 3: one of those weird things like who would like I
Speaker 3: never had that fucking that that the segac you know,
Speaker 3: in a weird wiz. I don't know if I get
Speaker 3: the Segacy. Yeah, Brian Knobs, Jerry SAgs are in the
Speaker 3: are in Rage in the Cage. Oh man, I can
Speaker 3: watch this sh it all day. I gotta stop. I know,
Speaker 3: the retro gameplay life fuck wow, all right, well that's huge. Anyway,
Speaker 3: Sean gets on the leg again and Randy lifts it
Speaker 3: to get out of the way, and then Sean gets
Speaker 3: it a second time and Randy kicks him off again
Speaker 3: and again. He just keeps doggedly going for the leg
Speaker 3: and Randy slips out of the ring limpic just to
Speaker 3: get out of the dodge. He knows he's wounded. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Sean throws a chair in the ring, a normal chair.
Speaker 3: It's not a folding chair, as Savage. Sean. Okay, Savage,
Speaker 3: that's key because Savage is the desperate one. He says
Speaker 3: he has thrown the only empty chair there is tonight
Speaker 3: in the ring. That's a good line. And she adds
Speaker 3: that Miss Elizabeth doesn't feel good and could not come
Speaker 3: to Munich, so there's the specification. Yeah, she didn't feel
Speaker 3: good all right, Savage wasn't making her feel good anymore.
Speaker 3: Randy says, you want to fight with me, I'll fight
Speaker 3: The camera Mike picks that up somehow. And Randy is
Speaker 3: so good about keeping up the image of the bad
Speaker 3: Wheel with everything he does, every little fing there's no inconsistency, yep.
Speaker 2: None gets to the apron. Sherry comes over and slaps
Speaker 2: the leg of Randy. Randy turns around and then allows
Speaker 2: Sean to knock Randy off the apron from behind. You
Speaker 2: better believe Randy lands on his feet and.
Speaker 3: He doesn't just fucking he somersaults to the floor like
Speaker 3: it's insane what he does for the industry. Yes, exactly, listen,
Speaker 3: he listen. Savage knows how much money is being spent.
Speaker 3: He knows what makes the turnstile's turn. He knows. He
Speaker 3: knows that there are people who are still questioning or
Speaker 3: walking by Olympia Hall. And wait a minute, did Savages
Speaker 3: bump from there? Yeah, yeah, Savage bumped. We should go
Speaker 3: inside it, watch World Entertainment. Savage Savage bumped, like words
Speaker 3: on the street that he bumped. I have Savage bumped.
Speaker 3: He did somersault in the air, and he's you know,
Speaker 3: he's he's selling, selling for the crowd. I think we
Speaker 3: should go in season. I think we should buy a
Speaker 3: ticket and and and help bump up the gate for
Speaker 3: the World Entertainment, the World Fied Entertainment. I think you're right, Olda,
Speaker 3: I think you're absolutely right about that. Let's get in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah so yes, Savage is now in peril. And they
Speaker 3: slug it out on the floor and Shawn Michaels raakes
Speaker 3: the eyes and Sherry scream and give it to him. Sure,
Speaker 3: come up, she is, Yes, she is, She's the fucking best.
Speaker 2: John grabs the leg and Randy breaks the eyes to
Speaker 2: get for you and tries to roll into the ring,
Speaker 2: but Sean pulls him right back out. Whip is reversed
Speaker 2: and Sean takes the post and man to Sean Parrouett.
Speaker 3: Through the air.
Speaker 2: Obvious seal job there, my god, does he take that post.
Speaker 2: Randy brings him over to the blue steps and plants
Speaker 2: him face first into those. He's sure to break the
Speaker 2: count as well as the macho man back in. Randy
Speaker 2: climbs and scores with the double axe handle and sells
Speaker 2: the knee wonderfully, like he had to do it exactly.
Speaker 3: He was desperate. He had to do some some kind
Speaker 3: of a big move that would that would put Michael's
Speaker 3: out for a little bit, so he can exactly, and
Speaker 3: he's willing to risk the leg to do that. It's amazing,
Speaker 3: it's so amazing, Squently, it takes him kind of forever
Speaker 3: to cover someone.
Speaker 5: He does.
Speaker 2: It's just a two count back up double reverse whip
Speaker 2: and Randy with the clap and the falling Larry.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't about the cover. It wasn't about the cover.
Speaker 3: It was about it was about get buying some time.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: Cover was only only gravy.
Speaker 2: I love when Randy does that clothes line as if
Speaker 2: he's taking a double clothes line, but he's just not.
Speaker 2: He's just falling, just falls with it. I love, always
Speaker 2: loved that. I'd always love that. Sherry, come on, kick
Speaker 2: out great Savage tries to slam, but Sean counters with
Speaker 2: an inside criddle for two backup. Brandy snatches him, coming
Speaker 2: in with the back elbow that gets to Sean rolls
Speaker 2: out of the ring and says, the hell with this,
Speaker 2: I don't need it. Sean starts his way up the
Speaker 2: aisleway with Sherry behind him, and he collapses and Randy
Speaker 2: gives him chase. Now pulls down Sherry. She goes down,
Speaker 2: kind of whips her out of the way, and then
Speaker 2: Randy lays into Seawn Michael's punching him backwards the ring.
Speaker 2: He rolls Sean back in the ring. Sherry comes over,
Speaker 2: snatches Randy's ankle, and Randy pulls her up to the apron.
Speaker 2: Sewan misses a right hand and nails her by mistake
Speaker 2: and she goes down like a corpse. My goodness, did
Speaker 2: Sherry take a bump here? She probably puts so much
Speaker 2: mileage on her body. And I'm not talking about I'm
Speaker 2: talking about in the ring, the amount of bumps like
Speaker 2: she would take, like crazy fucking bumps.
Speaker 3: You never really heard about her, like having major surgery.
Speaker 2: She had major pain killer problems, let me tell you that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so all that entertainment, you know, Randy rolls him up.
Speaker 3: Like yeah, all that entertainment. The hazard are still real.
Speaker 3: Hazards are still real.
Speaker 2: Randy rolls up Sean like he did Rick Flair at
Speaker 2: Wrestling Maney eight. But that just gets a two back up.
Speaker 2: It's a golden finish, that whole thing it is because
Speaker 2: it's just a roll up in desperation, right with a
Speaker 2: bad wheel. That's what It's just supposed to be. A
Speaker 2: roll up is supposed to be a surprise or a
Speaker 2: desperate move. It's not supposed to be like a thought
Speaker 2: out thing. It's like I need to I need to
Speaker 2: end this match now, let me fucking grab this guy.
Speaker 2: And it's an opportunity, yep, right, And not many people
Speaker 2: were able to get that across, like Savage. Oh not
Speaker 2: even close most not even close, yep. And then Sean
Speaker 2: comes back with a shin breaker and guns on the
Speaker 2: charge and double knees on Savage in the corner.
Speaker 3: Both go down.
Speaker 2: Sean chopp blocks the leg as they both get back up,
Speaker 2: and then Sean distracts him and Sherry slams Randy Savage's
Speaker 2: legging of the post in the ring apron, and then
Speaker 2: Sean drapes the leg and sits down on it and
Speaker 2: stomps at the knee and laces the leg and brings
Speaker 2: down his own knee, and Joey Morella is all over Sean, like,
Speaker 2: come on, man, I can stop it if you keep
Speaker 2: going this hard on his leg, and Randy Savage is
Speaker 2: dailing as Sherry gets a few more shots in behind
Speaker 2: the referees back always Sean mocks the Randy finger wag
Speaker 2: and the hands on the hip thing, and.
Speaker 3: Oh, I miss that. That's funny, I missed that part.
Speaker 2: They'll be showmanship in there. And Savage stands and he's limping,
Speaker 2: and Sean kicks out the leg and stomps the head
Speaker 2: and steps over into a spinning toe hold, and then
Speaker 2: you better believe Sean Michaels locks on the figure four, yep,
Speaker 2: and perhaps keeping a spot in the match that they
Speaker 2: would have done if Rick.
Speaker 3: Flair was there. No, I know that's true. They'll probably
Speaker 3: a little shout out to Flair. Did not see a
Speaker 3: lot of Sean Michael's figure fours back then? No, And
Speaker 3: then he would give a weird what you call the
Speaker 3: inverted figure four. Much later, I'm like, I don't understand
Speaker 3: how that's inverted. But okay, I never forgot about it.
Speaker 3: It's like the stupidest fucking hold. But when when I
Speaker 3: think you mentioned it, when Seawan Sewan charged Savage in
Speaker 3: the corner, but Savage kit Sean with a knee of
Speaker 3: the face, and he sells it. Savage sells it because
Speaker 3: he used the bad wheel out of desperation. Again, he
Speaker 3: used the bad wheel to save himself. Not lost on
Speaker 3: me when I saw that, I was like, fuck, motherfucker,
Speaker 3: love it so much, mother fucker. He didn't do that.
Speaker 3: That was not a miss, That was not a coincidence.
Speaker 3: That was done on purpose. That's right, that's right. That's
Speaker 3: what's so amazing. It's so well, you know, say what
Speaker 3: you will about you know, Savage needing to plan out
Speaker 3: his fucking matches beat for beat, beforehand whatever, all right,
Speaker 3: a good match is a good match. It only you know,
Speaker 3: the matches that are called in the ring may not
Speaker 3: have certain elements that are matches that are well thought
Speaker 3: out beforehand or and vice versa. So I've never I
Speaker 3: don't care a match. A good match is a good match.
Speaker 3: This shit, this is like you know, that's that's Martin
Speaker 3: scus As he ship right, there's a detailed directing shit
Speaker 3: like that's wow. You know, that's fucking brilliant.
Speaker 2: This is what you got every time you watch Randy
Speaker 2: back then. He isn't something particularly special. This is just
Speaker 2: the pride he took in the craft.
Speaker 3: And again, you know what, say what you will about
Speaker 3: Savage in the eighties and being you know, and I
Speaker 3: know most people love that Savage. This is to me,
Speaker 3: this is this is a Savage who recognizes ye where
Speaker 3: he is. He's not he's not a kid anymore. You know,
Speaker 3: he's not a guy on the rise. He is a
Speaker 3: stable main event legend.
Speaker 2: All right, and he's off fending off challengers. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: he's also but he's also likes you can tell he's comfortable.
Speaker 2: You can tell he's just like he knows what he
Speaker 2: needs to do to have a good match, which means
Speaker 2: he can just add to that. He's so fucking good easily, easily,
Speaker 2: Like just despite how how renowned he is, and despite
Speaker 2: how how celebrated he is, he's still underrated.
Speaker 3: Savage. Yeah, Savage, Savage. It gets pretty clear my now.
Speaker 3: The fact that he never got a chance to come back.
Speaker 3: It always bothered me, the fact that I'm robbed. If
Speaker 3: I'm attacking Steve Austin, then I'd have to rest fourteen
Speaker 3: still think about it. How can you not the greatest
Speaker 3: fucking thing if if after four years, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: Randy Savage is just like it runs out there just
Speaker 3: beating the crap, like you don't even know music. No,
Speaker 3: just imagine okay, ah uh, I don't know. Yeah, not
Speaker 3: a for Armania or whatever, or I'll tell you what,
Speaker 3: Like I would even maybe do it the way they
Speaker 3: did it with the name of Aston Vince right when
Speaker 3: I was thinking of actually yeah, you know, and then
Speaker 3: as they're about to go, and then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you see Savage running and people running running. You
Speaker 3: don't even necessarily know who it is at first, but
Speaker 3: you know that run. You know there's only one person
Speaker 3: who fucking runs at that speed every fucking time when
Speaker 3: he jogs down, when he just fucking sprints down there.
Speaker 3: He's a fucking baseball player, all right, He's a baseball
Speaker 3: player stealing third, that's how fucking fast he is. It
Speaker 3: would have been I mean, I would have been on
Speaker 3: my feet, like I would have had one of my
Speaker 3: moments where I would have been on my feet, just
Speaker 3: freaking out pacing. Yep, yeah, exactly what does this mean? Yes,
Speaker 3: it would have been great. Imagine all the other ones
Speaker 3: too after that. I mean, imagine Rock versus Savage, Imagine
Speaker 3: Triple H versus Savage. Imagine Big Show versus Savage. Okay,
Speaker 3: I saw that one. Oh true, we didn't see that one.
Speaker 3: That one's not that one's old. Caine versus Savage, Savage
Speaker 3: verse fully would be fascinating. Savage versus Foley Crazy, Savage
Speaker 3: versus Savage versus Angle. Oh my god, if we're gonna
Speaker 3: give me if he makes if he makes it, if
Speaker 3: he makes it this far Savage versus brock Listener Savage
Speaker 3: versus raymis Terry. Do you ever see that in W
Speaker 3: C W. I don't know, I don't think so. It
Speaker 3: would have seen it in w W in like in
Speaker 3: early two thousands. Easily tell you, man, he's like, he's
Speaker 3: one of the very few, one of the very few
Speaker 3: who didn't go back. I don't know why. I don't
Speaker 3: know if there was animosity still from his departure, but
Speaker 3: I don't know why he didn't go back. It's painful.
Speaker 3: I mean I think about this too. Everyone know that.
Speaker 3: What about? What about? What about two thousand and three
Speaker 3: sewn Michaels versus Randy Savage? Right, I mean, what the fuck?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what to say. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just don't know what to say. We were robbed,
Speaker 3: as what that's a concluded I can come to. I mean,
Speaker 3: did we ever see Savage versus Eddie Guerrero soon? For
Speaker 3: that matter?
Speaker 2: That happened and I think ninety five, but that was
Speaker 2: before Eddie was like Eddie's just super charistic, ye Eddie,
Speaker 2: before he was Eddie? Did we see Savage vers Yeah? Right,
Speaker 2: that's pretty much it. Yeah, that's what happened. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: wasn't like a big, right home about kind of thing.
Speaker 2: But I just I just want to see him. I
Speaker 2: just want to see him come back. With the storyline
Speaker 2: of him coming back for the title.
Speaker 3: This is bullshit, ye like, yeah, it's been an amazing
Speaker 3: but an amazing, amazing thing.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Sean has a figure four on and he's laying
Speaker 2: flat on the canvas and he's screaming at Cherry to
Speaker 2: come help him, almost impatiently, like she was supposed to
Speaker 2: be in position and she was out in the position.
Speaker 2: She comes over and pulls on his arms. That gets
Speaker 2: a two as Randy Flatten's out does it again, and
Speaker 2: Cherry's yanking back as far as she possibly can to
Speaker 2: give Sean an extra bit of leverage. Savage then sits
Speaker 2: up and Shawn Michaels is talking trash and slaps random
Speaker 2: say chant for the macho man. Ready's dragging and reaching and.
Speaker 3: That and that's slapping. Matt convinces U, lord Awl that
Speaker 3: Sean Michaels will be victorious in this match.
Speaker 4: I have no doubt, Malmo, We're going to see you
Speaker 4: Sean here.
Speaker 9: Crown here, I'm showing Michael's worn well, but where that crown,
Speaker 9: there's a lot of distinction.
Speaker 20: He is.
Speaker 11: Great wrestler.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, alf that's what he saying. It in
Speaker 3: for you, that's it. I never teach his own. Randyt
Speaker 3: scratches and claws and gets the ropes, breaks the figure four.
Speaker 3: Sherry is stalking as Sean keeps kicking at the leg.
Speaker 3: Sean tries another figure four, but of course Randy answers
Speaker 3: with an inside cradle that gets too Sean's right back
Speaker 3: on him, locks out another figure four, turns over though
Speaker 3: to the ropes, and there is a break as they
Speaker 3: get into the ropes and Sherry is pulling on Sean
Speaker 3: still For some reason, the hole has been reversed, and
Speaker 3: Sean slams Randy in the center of the ring, just
Speaker 3: the waistband as he used to do. Sewn used to
Speaker 3: always do that, and then he does the ben wath
Speaker 3: rote slash. Interestingly, you didn't do that too often. He
Speaker 3: steps over for another figure four, but this time he's
Speaker 3: kicked off into the corner buckling by macho man, who
Speaker 3: gets up on one wheel and throws a clothes line flatten.
Speaker 3: Sewn Michaels Savage is now absolutely struggling to climb the ropes,
Speaker 3: but like you said, he's got to do it. He's
Speaker 3: got to do it. This is his opening.
Speaker 2: He finally gets up there and unsure footing You've never
Speaker 2: seen someone climb the ropes as convincingly with a bad
Speaker 2: wheel as Randy Savage.
Speaker 5: Ye.
Speaker 3: Ever, yeah, ever never.
Speaker 2: That's where everyone struggles is to keep the illusion of
Speaker 2: the cell alive while still doing a move that requires
Speaker 2: a lot of coordination. Most guys will just do like
Speaker 2: this pat gesture to remind you that the knee hurts,
Speaker 2: and then just launch with full verve.
Speaker 3: And no, he's making it to the point where you
Speaker 3: actually wonder, Yes, wait a minute, is he actually injured?
Speaker 2: That's right, that's why he's the best exactly. But Sama
Speaker 2: was able to get his footing sufficiently to launch and
Speaker 2: score with the top ropvailabow drop cover one two three
Speaker 2: and the watcho Man. Randy Savage fights through the pain
Speaker 2: to retain the WWF championship over Shawn Michael's.
Speaker 3: Here in Munich, Germany. Great great shit, and.
Speaker 2: They rejoice and Randy comes up with his arm up
Speaker 2: like he just got released from a prisoner of war
Speaker 2: camp or something, and Sean Mike McGirk was announcing the winner,
Speaker 2: and Sherry grabs her by the hair and throws Mike
Speaker 2: McGirk down, grabs her chair and rushes into the ring
Speaker 2: and slams the chair in a Randy's leg, and Sean
Speaker 2: tosses Joey Morel out of the ring and he's ramming
Speaker 2: the chair now in a Randy Savage's leg. He drops Marella.
Speaker 2: Other officials hit the ring, Sean tosses them to the.
Speaker 3: Side, and then apparently, well, Lord Al are you ready
Speaker 3: for this? Lord Al apparently spots Nelson Swegler's son. Does
Speaker 3: he say.
Speaker 11: Nelson's Swegler's son is in now?
Speaker 23: Chris Swegler, I didn't think he had the guts to
Speaker 23: come in and face someone like Sean Michaels, but obviously.
Speaker 3: Caught up in the moments just have at the time
Speaker 3: of their lives in fun of And these are all
Speaker 3: different recording sessions, right like, not having anything to do
Speaker 3: with each other, and they're all around this show, isn't
Speaker 3: it bizarre? Ways? Can you chop it up?
Speaker 20: Three?
Speaker 3: Nelson Schwegler references about matches on the same fucking show
Speaker 3: right absolutely that I can only assume we're maybe the Savage,
Speaker 3: maybe the Gorilla, and Lord Alwan's were done altogether, you know,
Speaker 3: I can I can see that being the case. But man,
Speaker 3: just hilarious to have them all and again airing at
Speaker 3: different times. Couldn't be couldn't be further apart from each other,
Speaker 3: but they're all from this show. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Speaker 2: So Seawn now with the championship belt, raining down, slapping
Speaker 2: shots with the belt on Randy Savage. Dave Heebner is in.
Speaker 2: They're in a jump shoot jump suits. Shawn is threatening
Speaker 2: all this, but we want to jump shoot dude.
Speaker 3: Sorry to concern you.
Speaker 2: Terry Ooley says they've got to go to a commercial
Speaker 2: break and then corrects herself and says that we'll continue
Speaker 2: to watch what is going down, and Carston agrees, and
Speaker 2: she says that's not the Shawn Michaels that we know
Speaker 2: or want to know. And Carston says, now the helpers
Speaker 2: managed to throw Randy Savage out of the ring, I
Speaker 2: mean get him out of the ring. It is chaos
Speaker 2: here and I think Tim White it is snatches the
Speaker 2: ww Championship belt from Sean Michaels and Hebner rolls Savage
Speaker 2: out of the danger zone as Sean mocks Randy's hand
Speaker 2: signal to the crowd and gets a round of gears
Speaker 2: and Randy is carried out on the shoulders of Dave
Speaker 2: Hebner and another official, perhaps the aforementioned Chris Schwegler. Yea
Speaker 2: and limping so dramatically to the back is Randy Savage.
Speaker 2: And you can tell it's killing Dave Hebner, that he's
Speaker 2: that he's got Randy Savage weighing.
Speaker 3: Him down with that. He's like, you can tell he's
Speaker 3: fucking miserable. I'm sure, I'm sure Savage is like putting
Speaker 3: a little extra oomph. Absolutely it.
Speaker 2: So another article fan article commercial is the German TI.
Speaker 3: By the way, you want to know what something funny here? Yeah?
Speaker 3: So I said, you know what, I'm going to go
Speaker 3: back here. I want to take a look and see. Actually,
Speaker 3: if Savage is selling the knee at the UK rampage,
Speaker 3: which happens what days after this, he's not selling the
Speaker 3: fucking leg. Wow, it must have healed. I wonder what
Speaker 3: about this show made him want to sell the leg
Speaker 3: and not.
Speaker 2: I think it was because they had just aired Wrestlmingia
Speaker 2: on Drimn Television.
Speaker 3: That must have been.
Speaker 2: It's they hadn't brilliant son on such a time lag
Speaker 2: in England. Wow, that's huge, that's fucking massive that you
Speaker 2: put that kind of thought into it.
Speaker 3: Yep, were we good question? When we're going to the
Speaker 3: German market where they are at. In regards to the television,
Speaker 3: have they seen WrestleMania? Well, Pal, I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what why? What does it matter?
Speaker 15: Like?
Speaker 3: Man, I can't tell you everything that I got in
Speaker 3: my head? All right, Randy, But why do you need
Speaker 3: to I'm not going to tell you what's going on.
Speaker 3: I've got my secrets. I've got the things that I
Speaker 3: need to keep where they are on the noise they
Speaker 3: might leave. I say, well, I mean, but I'm just curious.
Speaker 3: What does it Matt? I mean, I don't know. I
Speaker 3: don't know when they the Germans watch Wrestleman, I don't
Speaker 3: know they did. They need you to get on that
Speaker 3: so they can be nervous, making me wonder exactly what's
Speaker 3: going on with this company? What do you mean, Brandy?
Speaker 3: They'll watch WrestleMania at some point, but I don't know
Speaker 3: if it'll be before or after the match. You gotta
Speaker 3: find out or I'm gonna take you. Vince McMahon. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take you for the right of your life. When
Speaker 3: I take you up the stairs I'm gonna bring you
Speaker 3: up the stairs by your neck, and I'm gonna run
Speaker 3: you across the road and I'm gonna take you down.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take you down the China down And what's
Speaker 3: gonna happen there, I don't know, but I can tell
Speaker 3: you this that it won't be pleasant. It won't be pleasant. Huh.
Speaker 5: I like it.
Speaker 3: I like when things aren't pleasant, and it won't be
Speaker 3: pleasant for you. Well, we'll get right on that, Rannie,
Speaker 3: and we'll figure out what WrestleMania in which one it'll
Speaker 3: be for that matter, I'm not sure if they're seeing
Speaker 3: WrestleMania eight or WrestleMania at seven or ten for that matter.
Speaker 3: Right quite then it happened yet, But you know, these
Speaker 3: are things and we will figure out before we get
Speaker 3: to Munich. Can we please get this man out of
Speaker 3: my office? He's horrifying awesome.
Speaker 2: So we get another fan article commercial that is say
Speaker 2: fan merchandise commercial and yes, CCM is the company's name,
Speaker 2: and then later u V United Video, which released wrestling
Speaker 2: home videos in Germany. As Ben tells us, he says,
Speaker 2: it's funny that the c CMTV location is now one
Speaker 2: of the bureaus of an IP law firm that has
Speaker 2: a website that sounds like Vince wrote their texts. Maybe
Speaker 2: he did, Maybe he did. Big fans, definitely, I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. One of the things that I'm
Speaker 2: an expert at is writing corporate text I have a
Speaker 2: I have an incredible uh, corporate textual basis for all
Speaker 2: things corporate textual basis, corporate corporate Christy MM, the German
Speaker 2: distributor of the real WWF and also ww tapes back
Speaker 2: then was United Video.
Speaker 3: He says. They also released butchered versions of Rubblecop one
Speaker 3: and two. Yes they did.
Speaker 2: Their logo was always placed really intrusively, which made the
Speaker 2: Hogan sid match at WRESTLEMANI eight look like a triple
Speaker 2: threat with UV as they're own at number three. Is
Speaker 2: the logo is so big between their heads? He included
Speaker 2: some examples of such. He says, Anyway, from nineteen ninety
Speaker 2: three on PolyGram was distributing the coliseum videos over here in.
Speaker 2: United Video finally went out of business in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight, but not before I've noticed by accident that
Speaker 2: they were located twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: From my home. Wow, holy shit, pumping gas near a
Speaker 3: small city in my area when I noticed the big
Speaker 3: and always intrusive even on buildings UV logo on a
Speaker 3: building nearby and blew my mind. Even years later, he says,
Speaker 3: imagine seeing the Colosseum logo in your neighborhood and that
Speaker 3: I'd be amazing. I mean, listen, I'd blow my mind
Speaker 3: if I fucking saw the two pillars.
Speaker 2: And just like us, when he sees the building today,
Speaker 2: Ben always asks himself if there was still some old
Speaker 2: tapes lying around there somewhere in the grass. Perhaps Wow, yes, indeed,
Speaker 2: it's really amazing. So Carson is with the Led again
Speaker 2: for a second interview, heading over to the Battle Royal.
Speaker 2: Now an animal, says the Battle Royal, and you're different. Hawk,
Speaker 2: and I grew up on the streets of Chicago and
Speaker 2: been fighting fifteen, ten to fifteen twenty guys for years.
Speaker 3: We beat them all up right, right, because the two
Speaker 3: guys have fought on the streets with ten to fifteen
Speaker 3: twenty guys, right, that's secretly And.
Speaker 2: He tells Hawk, you know, tell them Hawk, and Carson
Speaker 2: speaks next. However, there's our cup of soup, Hawk says,
Speaker 2: our bowl of chili right.
Speaker 3: Up our alley. The fuck, I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Not only one or two guys. Now we've got to
Speaker 2: beat up fourteen guys. What happens if it's me and
Speaker 2: my brother in the ring? He says, that is to say, Animal,
Speaker 2: well his brother in the ring.
Speaker 3: I never thought they.
Speaker 2: Were presented as brothers, but I guess he means it
Speaker 2: just colloquially. Now, that'd be interesting, Animal says, Hawk says,
Speaker 2: intimating to the German audience, said, you know, that's what
Speaker 2: could happen in a battle royal. If it comes down
Speaker 2: to you too, what are you going to do? Carson asks,
Speaker 2: and Hawks says, We're going to have to wait until
Speaker 2: that happens, won't we.
Speaker 3: And let's see.
Speaker 2: Animal's promo is translated by Carston as such, the Legion
Speaker 2: of Doom has always beaten people up. Whether it's two,
Speaker 2: ten or twenty, it doesn't matter. And that's exactly what
Speaker 2: they'll do tonight, instead of Hawk's promo. Yes, naturally, the
Speaker 2: big question is always what happens when these two stand
Speaker 2: face to face in the end, when thing's for sure,
Speaker 2: they will get exactly the kind of fight they want tonight,
Speaker 2: a battle royal. That is what Carston said. Hawk said,
Speaker 2: that's the kind of match they want. It's a Battle Royal, absolutely,
Speaker 2: And then we switched to David see Carson, David boy Smith,
Speaker 2: Daby boy.
Speaker 3: Smith and I do have this one because here we.
Speaker 12: Go, Aunt Deeze Man Denkenzie Alapest is a step British Bulldog.
Speaker 12: Davey boy Smith on ab after zetin man Battle Royal. Davy,
Speaker 12: You've got a sixty man Battle Royal, fifteen people ahead
Speaker 12: of you.
Speaker 11: What do you think?
Speaker 15: What do I think?
Speaker 11: The same thing?
Speaker 16: Thoughts is going through my mind as it was last
Speaker 16: year in the Royal albert Hall, when.
Speaker 5: The British bulldog disposed of fifteen all the restless, They
Speaker 5: all try to get me out, but they failed.
Speaker 3: It was nineteen. It was a twenty man Battle Royal
Speaker 3: last time, not sixteen.
Speaker 15: IM gonna fail tonight in Munich.
Speaker 5: The British bulldog is gonna be victorious in this fifteen
Speaker 5: man battle Oroyal.
Speaker 3: We did say fifteen man Battle Royal here several times.
Speaker 3: Every time. Come on, Carson translates bulldog's statement as the
Speaker 3: British bulldog naturally intends to straight up wipe away all
Speaker 3: these men, just like last year at the Battle Royal
Speaker 3: and the Royal Albert Hall. We'll see if that's all.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, fucking Albert Hall. I can't with that shit.
Speaker 2: Carson earlier back in the announced position, those two promos,
Speaker 2: by the way, from Broke from Bulldogs and Led were
Speaker 2: a coliseum or that is to say, home video.
Speaker 3: Very nice. Now, I got to ask you, this is
Speaker 3: that Uli Fessler or is that Saturday Night Live alumnus
Speaker 3: Melanie huttle.
Speaker 1: H.
Speaker 3: It's h M T S E L l okay.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 3: I think it's the latter. I think you're right. I
Speaker 3: think you're right. I think it is a hassel.
Speaker 2: So Remarcell the ring announcer in Germany there gets up
Speaker 2: saying something. He say, right, yeah, bad in the ring now,
Speaker 2: Ben writes, maybe he did this firing up the crowd
Speaker 2: during every time off, you know when there was a
Speaker 2: lull in the action, to keep the crowd on fire,
Speaker 2: and that's why he was at ringside the whole time.
Speaker 2: Perhaps that's why he fires up the crowd. However, and
Speaker 2: explains the Battle Royal, he calls the wrestlers fighters. Ben
Speaker 2: tells us it uses sports language to explain the rules
Speaker 2: instead of going over the top rope. For instance, he says,
Speaker 2: go over the red barrier.
Speaker 3: And so on.
Speaker 2: So he's talking about crossing the plane and football out
Speaker 2: of bounds line. All right, I'll take it.
Speaker 3: That's not bad.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Ben also advises never do a drinking game, but
Speaker 2: the rule that you have to drink. When they mentioned
Speaker 2: the Battle Royal during the Munich show, they just can't
Speaker 2: stop mentioning that whole ho hack saw is the first
Speaker 2: guy out.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, everyone to get their fucking music in,
Speaker 3: like Jesus Christ, like one after the others. If we
Speaker 3: needed that on nineteen ninety two of them. Unnecessary is
Speaker 3: what it is. Dino comes out. They don't play his music,
Speaker 3: do they? They don't. I don't think he had. It's
Speaker 3: the fucking know what I mean in this like short
Speaker 3: return he had. Yeah, well they just fucking played the
Speaker 3: same song. Should have. Mattador Mustafa he's doing the bushwhacker
Speaker 3: walk for some reason. This thing he used to do.
Speaker 3: That's what he used to do. I don't under stand
Speaker 3: why that came from. Are you supposed to be ship?
Speaker 16: Like?
Speaker 3: What's wrong with you? Dude? That's something like the Iraqi
Speaker 3: bodyguards used to do. I don't know. All right, well,
Speaker 3: maybe I don't know Slaughter.
Speaker 2: Boys, Mounie, he's got the shock stick to the Battle
Speaker 2: Royal Nasties music, Davy Boy Repo Brett comes out no
Speaker 2: belt arms, high confident led with their peeled face paint
Speaker 2: or in the Battle Royal as well.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Mike McGirk introduces them as Legion of Doom Hawk, Legion
Speaker 2: of Doom Animal. I've heard road Warrior hawk. I've never
Speaker 2: heard that before. That's unnecessary. Don't do that again, Mike.
Speaker 3: Are they Legion of Doom Hawk and Legion of Doom
Speaker 3: Animal the Road Warriors, right, that would be that would
Speaker 3: be really really pathetic.
Speaker 2: Unlike the Road Warriors. Papa Shango comes out with reapplied
Speaker 2: face penal.
Speaker 3: It would appear.
Speaker 2: Here comes Shawn Michaels two for the Battle Royal with
Speaker 2: his sweaty hair, and Early and Carson are still waiting
Speaker 2: for Randy Savage to hit the ring, but the gong
Speaker 2: hits Bulldog. Maybe under the influence Ben Wrights, but he
Speaker 2: is also right. Lily says they had just heard that
Speaker 2: Savage does not compete anymore, will not compete anymore tonight,
Speaker 2: but he will compete at the upcoming tour dates. So
Speaker 2: they want you to know that dude to the postmatch attack,
Speaker 2: Randy Savage will not be in this Battle Royal, but
Speaker 2: if you have tickets to upcoming events on the circuit
Speaker 2: WAF European Rampage Tour, please they'll keep Randy's knocking.
Speaker 3: Please go, that's right, Please go. Please don't ask for
Speaker 3: a refund.
Speaker 2: Just to hear Ben says, Carston calls the wrestlers in
Speaker 2: the ring superstars. This is years before he has to
Speaker 2: call them superstars.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: Ben speculates maybe it was him that forced Vince McMahon
Speaker 2: to use that main event time. Here in the w
Speaker 2: FF European Rampage against Battle Royal, takes a while for
Speaker 2: them to do anything, and the Animal clutches hbk down
Speaker 2: onto Sherry and she barely launches. Shawn Michaels rather down
Speaker 2: onto Sherry and she barely catches him. Tough fall there
Speaker 2: for Shawn Michaels. Sherry's out cold on the outside, and
Speaker 2: Sean gathers her up and throws her over his shoulder
Speaker 2: and walks her and himself out of the match. There's
Speaker 2: lots of punching that was kind.
Speaker 3: Of weird, like, like, what was that about that he
Speaker 3: just fucking bailed. Why is he in there if he's
Speaker 3: just going to bail, just get both title match guys
Speaker 3: a pass, I guess. But they didn't want to do that.
Speaker 3: Well because again it kind of the show kind of
Speaker 3: resembles the fucking Royal Albert Hall one because the same
Speaker 3: thing happened where all the guys who were in the
Speaker 3: preliminary matches were all in the Battle Royal as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just thought that was a lynchpin of coming
Speaker 2: to these new European markets, as you got to give
Speaker 2: him a Battle Royal apparently, So lots of punching and
Speaker 2: stomping as you can imagine, kind of aimlessly knobs hits
Speaker 2: the apron but rolls in. They pop for the possibility
Speaker 2: that he might be out of the match. Hawk comes
Speaker 2: off the middle rope and sledges SAgs while he's held open.
Speaker 2: Brett is hammocked on the ropes and Davy Boy actually
Speaker 2: saves Brett from elimination. That's fascinating, puzzling the crowd considering
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety two they would go on to have. Right,
Speaker 2: It's funny you see Mounti holding Duggin's arms open and
Speaker 2: walking him around, but no one bothers to punch Dug
Speaker 2: and so he just lets him go. Hawk leverages Dino
Speaker 2: over and out of the rings, so Dino appears to
Speaker 2: be after Sean the first elimination. Brett is in periled
Speaker 2: and they get really nervous in the crowd that he
Speaker 2: might be eliminated. They get animated at that possibility again.
Speaker 2: Davy boy saves him and they like it very much.
Speaker 2: Dougan gets the USA chant going befo before he slugs
Speaker 2: away on the Repo Man Animal with a running shoulder
Speaker 2: check sends Brian Kobbs flying up and out of the match,
Speaker 2: Brett going to work on Papa Shango, and a preview
Speaker 2: of things to come in nineteen ninety two, right, who
Speaker 2: would have thought that would be a fucking Saturday Night's
Speaker 2: main event main event by the end of the year.
Speaker 2: Seriously jumps off the top into Davy Boy Smith's bear hug.
Speaker 2: Animal and Knobs are battling on the floor, so Animal
Speaker 2: must be gone too.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Dugan does ten time punches in the corner on Mounty
Speaker 2: and then does it to Repo Man. Davy Boy Smith
Speaker 2: does it to Repo Man as well, and Repo walks
Speaker 2: right into dug in and Dugan does it again, so
Speaker 2: he's playing ping pong here. Davy Boy then does it again,
Speaker 2: going rapid fire on Repo Man's head, and let's see
Speaker 2: when Repo Man finally falls after taking that litany of punishment.
Speaker 2: They totally missed the shot. They totally missed the flare
Speaker 2: flop pump. But that's that's life.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Mountie comes off the middle rope and has caught in
Speaker 2: the bread basket by Tito Santana. But the Mountie drops
Speaker 2: down and back drops Tito out of the Matchup, Brett,
Speaker 2: it's working on Javis.
Speaker 3: We're talking about. See that fucking Mounie again. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: he's he's skillful, and I'm telling you he's he's fucking
Speaker 3: he's fucking brilliant. So probably he never won a battle
Speaker 3: royal frankly, I know, by the way, this one, uh,
Speaker 3: the not the entire match, but the probably Yeah. Well, actually,
Speaker 3: after after Mounei eliminating Tito, that's when the World Tour
Speaker 3: tape begins covering this match. So this match also on
Speaker 3: the w World Tour ninety two Colisseum video. Very interesting, right,
Speaker 3: I don't know why they didn't show the whole match.
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess they had maybe had time constraints
Speaker 3: or something, but it just seemed weird, like why not,
Speaker 3: why not do the whole match? But absolutely.
Speaker 2: It comes off the middle and his cut in the
Speaker 2: bread basket by Tito. Money drops down and back drops
Speaker 2: Tito out. As mentioned, Brett working on SAgs and Money
Speaker 2: breaks that up and dumps Brett. Brett's dumped out of
Speaker 2: Battle Royal by the Mountain is fucking hell. Davy Boy
Speaker 2: Smith's on the Mounie right away as a resultant slam SAgs.
Speaker 2: Let's see Hawker versus Reapaman and drops some of the
Speaker 2: clothesline reverse repo. Is that a financial transaction?
Speaker 5: Wow?
Speaker 3: Hawk charges at absolutely no one and he's gone dug
Speaker 3: in in the corner stomping by himself, goes over and
Speaker 3: grabs a front face log on the Mountie and Davy
Speaker 3: boys his mustafa up and over. As you know, it
Speaker 3: wasn't easy for Shiki to take those bumps. I now,
Speaker 3: especially at that point right one.
Speaker 2: He won the WrestleMania seventeen Legends Battle Royal because he
Speaker 2: couldn't get eliminated. Funny Mownie as knee catches SAgs when
Speaker 2: Dugan moves and knobs, smacks his face on the top rope.
Speaker 2: Mountie gives him a hug bear hug. A double whipping
Speaker 2: a double back elbow on Repo Man by Sargeant Slaughter
Speaker 2: and Davy Boy Smith. While Duggan is nogg and knocking
Speaker 2: SAgs and the Mountie together, Davy Boy shoots.
Speaker 3: In repo Man. There's a sunset flip, if you can
Speaker 3: believe it, sunset flip. Who's shooting? Dude?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 3: It's a good question, why all these great WW superstars?
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'll say he does the fucking son sadly
Speaker 3: and Sean Mooney and Lord Al on the call here, Uh,
Speaker 3: very confused about that rip a man with.
Speaker 23: A sunset flip. Then in this encatter's not going to
Speaker 23: help him much. That shows how trying to pin somebody,
Speaker 23: oh densey.
Speaker 2: And that they're laughing because Slaughter hit him with the
Speaker 2: weakest head slam backers you've ever seen into the mat.
Speaker 2: They laugh at him because it makes no noise. It's
Speaker 2: pretty wild that they had just like a clean commentary
Speaker 2: free version there to.
Speaker 3: Just talk right over. I know, it's pretty it's pretty wild.
Speaker 2: USA Chances dug and walks around punching people. Whip is
Speaker 2: reversed in Mountie takes a shot to the gut by
Speaker 2: Duggan and front flips on the cell. That's something he
Speaker 2: used to do quite well. Take a shot to the
Speaker 2: bread basket and front flip. Oh yeah, mount he's on
Speaker 2: the floor and interestingly they're counting him out, telling him
Speaker 2: we went back. Yeah, they the referees like counting them
Speaker 2: out as if like if you slip out under the
Speaker 2: ropes and a battle royal, that's really ten seconds to
Speaker 2: get back in. I don't know why they're an institute that,
Speaker 2: you know, to stop like the Jerry Lawler thing and
Speaker 2: the rumble. Yeah, yeah, it's true. I shouldn't be able
Speaker 2: to hide under the ring, Like why doesn't everyone try
Speaker 2: to do that? Why doesn't everybody as soon as the
Speaker 2: fucking everyone, as soon as they get in the rumble
Speaker 2: just go under the bottom rope and run to the
Speaker 2: back or something.
Speaker 3: And some people have character, have character, and I think
Speaker 3: they should institute that rule. It was a long way
Speaker 3: character there.
Speaker 2: There could also be a rule one year where you
Speaker 2: have ten seconds to get back in the ring if
Speaker 2: you go up and over brother.
Speaker 3: Whit what why I didn't think about the ramifications for Terry.
Speaker 3: He's having flashbacks test hid in ninety two. That could
Speaker 3: be a fucking thing, right there, the ramifications for Terry.
Speaker 3: That could be a whole.
Speaker 2: Duggan's working on SAgs, gets him slowly to the apron,
Speaker 2: and then mount he sneaks up and tosses Jim Dugging
Speaker 2: up and over, catching him off guard.
Speaker 3: He fucking he's a beast.
Speaker 2: Even though you caught him off guard, even though you
Speaker 2: could catch if you watch close, Lee dug and look
Speaker 2: backwards and like call Mounty over, like this is your cue.
Speaker 2: Repo whips t be up, not Dbasi, Davy Boy Smith,
Speaker 2: who drops him and who drops down and David Boy
Speaker 2: kicks him in the face and down to Sergeant Slaughter.
Speaker 2: Now Davy Boy Smith, Repo Man, the Mounie, and Jerry Saggs.
Speaker 2: That's who's left in this battle Royal.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: They they huddle and resolve to divide and conquer, and
Speaker 2: they all gang up on Sergeant Slaughter and suddenly he's
Speaker 2: teeter ring and Davy Boy makes the save and tosses Moune,
Speaker 2: tosses SAgs and tosses Repo Man, one after the other,
Speaker 2: Great great spot one at a time, and they pop
Speaker 2: for that big they face off. Sergeant Slaughter strikes and
Speaker 2: Ted and Davy boy Smith close lines for all off
Speaker 2: Slaughter's whips, so they're working together. Davy boy and Sergeant
Speaker 2: Slaughter double whip on Davy boy Smith, but he hits it,
Speaker 2: and then there's a double larryat I should say, from
Speaker 2: Jerry Saggs and the repo man. And now Sergeant Slaughter
Speaker 2: takes it as well.
Speaker 3: He goes down.
Speaker 2: The heels are gloating. Repo says, let's get all let's
Speaker 2: all three get him. They double whip and with the
Speaker 2: mount they're pushing both back. I don't know what that is,
Speaker 2: pushing both backs of the faces. Okay, they lock arms
Speaker 2: and hit a triple clothes line. Do the baby Faces
Speaker 2: they lock arms and hit a triple clothes line? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: because it was like yeah, Mounie gets behind the other
Speaker 2: two guys and pushes them forward so they can hit
Speaker 2: a double clothes line with extra speed.
Speaker 3: I guess right.
Speaker 2: But after the baby Faces, Davy boy Smith and Sergeant
Speaker 2: Slaughter duck that triple clothes line, they come double clothes line.
Speaker 2: They come back and make it a triple and knock
Speaker 2: three guys down, and then Sergeant Slaughter tosses Repo man,
Speaker 2: Repo grabs his ankle, and Mountie sneaks up behind and
Speaker 2: tosses Sergeants Slaughter. Repo grabs the ankle of Sergeant Slaughter
Speaker 2: after he gets eliminated to keep him in place, and
Speaker 2: that allows Mounie to again, like you said, sneakily get
Speaker 2: a ton of eliminations here. I mean, he is like
Speaker 2: the MVP of this match.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he really. It is the only time I've ever
Speaker 3: really cared about I have cared about the Mountie. He
Speaker 3: just he is. He's all over the place. He has
Speaker 3: illuminated so many guys, and he's he's mattered in a
Speaker 3: way fascinating. And then Ben says that Carston loses his
Speaker 3: ship because Repo is helping to eliminate Slaughter. He says,
Speaker 3: the Repo man has helped from the outside. You've got
Speaker 3: to be kidding me. This can't be happening. He's ever
Speaker 3: watched a Royal romove before, or a Battle Royal or whatever,
Speaker 3: my mom.
Speaker 2: And then Bulldogs whipped to the corner. Mountie comes with
Speaker 2: a shock stick. He hits SAgs with it by mistake
Speaker 2: when the bulldog moves out of the way and Davy
Speaker 2: Boy clothesline SAgs out of the Battle Royal and then
Speaker 2: tosses out the moundie and they absolutely explode. As Carston says, incredible,
Speaker 2: this man rules over Europe. That is the British Bulldog.
Speaker 2: Davy Boys Smith.
Speaker 3: Comes back.
Speaker 2: It sure is, raises Davy Boy's hands as the music
Speaker 2: plays and Davy Boy salutes sergeants slaughter. A special relationship,
Speaker 2: you could say, but indeed the United Kingdom in America.
Speaker 2: Here Davy Boy makes his way over to Carston's announced position.
Speaker 3: Does and guess what, He's gonna bring that ship up again.
Speaker 4: I don't know how.
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 3: Okay, Like, why does he bring that up again? It's
Speaker 3: the only thing you can remember. I mean, seriously, I
Speaker 3: don't remember very much, but I remember the roll about
Speaker 3: all you have in England. And I won the Battle
Speaker 3: of Oil and the Royal Samoa Trophy. I gave it
Speaker 3: to die and I won it.
Speaker 7: I won?
Speaker 3: Did I win.
Speaker 14: The Stencil trophy in Munich? What if I walk around naked?
Speaker 14: You think they recognize the British boordog?
Speaker 3: Do you think you'll say all.
Speaker 21: The British Bulldog.
Speaker 3: I remember him from the Rule of It All.
Speaker 21: In Love in England. What do you want the Royal
Speaker 21: Sero Trophy in his hometown? Maybe every night I could
Speaker 21: run win it the Role over All, Mom, I won at.
Speaker 3: The Role of It All.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the problem that should have ended the broadcast.
Speaker 2: That would still be talked about.
Speaker 15: To this day.
Speaker 1: He's a lapsed fan wrestling podcast with Jack n Carna
Speaker 1: Seo NJP Soorro.
Speaker 4: He's a lapsed fan wrestling.
Speaker 3: Podcast Ben Wrights. Bulldog seems to have substance issues if
Speaker 3: you ask me, Carston, he says, is stumbling over his
Speaker 3: words and basically says by to end this televive broadcast
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety two, Titan Sports freeze frame on Bulldog with
Speaker 3: his arms up and they fade out for this historic
Speaker 3: television broadcast. But that's not all.
Speaker 2: If you've got this VHS, there's more to it. We
Speaker 2: go to the announcer, guy Marcel Abua, who tells us
Speaker 2: that we're going to get personal information next about the
Speaker 2: Macho Man and the Hitman, and he hopes that we'll

Speaker 3: Beat b e a T. Really is he talking about
Speaker 3: going clubbing? All right? All right, well, still beat scene
Speaker 3: type situation. I think what he's referring to is dos
Speaker 3: fung he beat. Yes, it's still the the phrasing beat
Speaker 3: scene type situation. That's not that's not a proper verbiage.
Speaker 3: He's all over the plum the beat and what I
Speaker 3: like second bist after wrestling. He's the beat scene type
Speaker 3: situation with Elizabeth and I like good music. I like
Speaker 3: to get into the sound system type of thing. Uh get.
Speaker 3: I like to get into the sound system type of
Speaker 3: thing and get with vibrations that I feel at the
Speaker 3: time that I'm doing it.
Speaker 7: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: And Elizabeth helps me to decide on that at different
Speaker 3: times a day.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Read between the lines, uh huh. Fucking says read between
Speaker 3: like he's not making any sense. Yeah, well, I also
Speaker 3: think he's I don't know. I think he's saying this
Speaker 3: is when we're fucking much. Yeah, they're doing like ecstasy
Speaker 3: and stuff. Right right now, I'm working on a hord
Speaker 3: on right now in the Kingdom of the Madness, waiting
Speaker 3: for the thunder to pass in order to work up
Speaker 3: a sweat with that one way ticket to the one
Speaker 3: two three dig it. That's good.
Speaker 5: That was all you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was when we take it to and then
Speaker 3: she asked, what are the characteristics of a good wrestler. Well,
Speaker 3: I don't know, Well, I don't know. I want to
Speaker 3: leave it that, thank you. Sometimes, m I think that
Speaker 3: the best way you can tell is look over his shoulder. Huh,
Speaker 3: what's over his shoulder? What's over here?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: Not this one, but this one the world rustling in
Speaker 3: the Worldwide Entertainment Championship Belt. Other people have held it
Speaker 3: in the past, some three hundred, four hundred and five
Speaker 3: hundred pounds, like I said before, but at this particular time,
Speaker 3: I don't know how many stones I weigh or anything
Speaker 3: like that. The macho man Randy Savage has good speed
Speaker 3: back in his hotel room. And if you want to
Speaker 3: come back, we hard things out so you have speed.
Speaker 3: Maybe taking a couple of measures of a musical tune.
Speaker 3: Get that thumping and pumping until the sun comes up.
Speaker 3: Uh huh, not cooking, but keep it in good physical
Speaker 3: condition anytime that you participate, as far as visually or
Speaker 3: actually they're in person, or just realize that the fact
Speaker 3: that I get into what I do, what we do,
Speaker 3: just like now talking with you, Anya and Elizabeth wanted
Speaker 3: to tell you. Helloh, so that message has been delivered.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you. Yes, there's some stuff that I added
Speaker 3: in there, but not much, okay, not much. In fact,
Speaker 3: all I added in there was what we do. I
Speaker 3: added bet for you. I was like mine any message
Speaker 3: in Germany. No, no, maybe I get that. But the
Speaker 3: main thing is that enthusiasm makes the difference. And anything
Speaker 3: that you do, whether it's dancing on tables, milking cows
Speaker 3: in the backyard, are waking up the blastic bag on
Speaker 3: your head. When I'm in the square circle, I'm really
Speaker 3: uh huh perceptive about what's happening inside the ring. And
Speaker 3: that's what everybody needs to do with whatever you're doing,
Speaker 3: whatever kind of work that they're doing, just like you
Speaker 3: right now with the microphone, zeroing it in and asking
Speaker 3: these tough questions of the macho man. Randy Savage, I
Speaker 3: thought whole Cogan, and he hasn't delivered it like you have.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: On you together, tougher than lightning.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: Maybe I'll defend the belt against you sometime, or maybe
Speaker 3: you can just du my belt and which I'll whip
Speaker 3: out the macho cock if you catch my drift. But
Speaker 3: you gotta get pescils a bit before you get to
Speaker 3: the champ all right, okay, good, don't wear the same
Speaker 3: color on Huh that would be bad. Oh yeah, everybody
Speaker 3: out there, dig it, gotta go deliver that mail. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know where the fantasy ends reality. That is
Speaker 3: part of the problem in it. And how much more
Speaker 3: excited is on your interview Brett Hart? Much more excited.
Speaker 3: I've got this whole one. Just listen.
Speaker 2: I can't think of a more fitting way to end
Speaker 2: this thing, Cotter where we started. Just you can cut
Speaker 2: the tension with a knife and see the mischievous look
Speaker 2: on Brett Hart's face and his eyes darting off camera.
Speaker 3: Like listen, all right, he's got one thing on his mind,
Speaker 3: and so does She's be fair to him. So does
Speaker 3: she wants listen exactly? She knows. There are two things
Speaker 3: that she knows. What's that She's gonna fuck the macho
Speaker 3: man and she's gonna fuck Brett Hart. She's christ It's
Speaker 3: gonna happen. Anya is the predator, all right, and these
Speaker 3: fucking clowns are her prey. She's in charge, and she's
Speaker 3: gonna get what she wants and get what she fucking needs.
Speaker 3: You do you think that people are born for being
Speaker 3: a wrestler.
Speaker 15: I think I was born to be a wrestler.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 15: That's a tough question. I would say no. I never
Speaker 15: had any aspirations to ever become a wrestler. Just just happened.
Speaker 3: Fate. What do you like, second fight or fake? It's
Speaker 3: just fake?
Speaker 11: Best after wrestling? Oh, your wife?
Speaker 15: I don't know.
Speaker 16: No, I don't know, not not with my schedule, ship
Speaker 16: travel that goes well with the job. Traveling comes in
Speaker 16: right behind wrestling.
Speaker 11: M What do you do to keep your body in
Speaker 11: good shape?
Speaker 15: I knew we're going to get to that. I wrestle.
Speaker 16: Wrestling keeps you pretty much in shape. And then aside
Speaker 16: from that, you you you learn to work out about
Speaker 16: six six days a week, five six days a week
Speaker 16: with free weights will help you, and and bicycleaning and
Speaker 16: things like that will help you with your cardiovascular But generally,
Speaker 16: if you wrestle enough like I do, and wrestle as
Speaker 16: hard as I do, you'll stay in pretty good shape.
Speaker 11: For how long are you training each day?
Speaker 15: About an hour and a half only, well that was wrestling.
Speaker 15: It makes it.
Speaker 3: That's enough. You don't want to.
Speaker 11: Get overtired, right, and what's your favorite meal?
Speaker 16: My favorite meal, well, i'd have to say my favorite
Speaker 16: male is meat, any kind of meat, steak or beef.
Speaker 15: I'm from Canada.
Speaker 16: I'm from Calgary, where I think he got the best
Speaker 16: beef in the world where I live, and I eat
Speaker 16: all the beef I can wherever I can.
Speaker 2: Brother what he's trying to get something across what he says.
Speaker 2: He's having fun with this and I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Who's expensive.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's talking about roast, be sandwich, roast, curtains going
Speaker 3: on and that's what he's going for. And when he
Speaker 3: said when he said, I knew we were going to
Speaker 3: get to that. When she asks him about how he
Speaker 3: stays in shape, yeah, he he knows it's going down
Speaker 3: and he's not going to take cameo questions about it, Okay,
Speaker 3: basically basically you know, she says, He says, I know,
Speaker 3: he basically because she's asking me about his stamina. How much?
Speaker 3: How long can he go? Is that what it is? Exactly?
Speaker 12: What's your message, especially for the female of your female
Speaker 12: fans of Germany.
Speaker 16: My message to them, well, from watching the news and stuff,
Speaker 16: my my first message or my main message would be, Uh,
Speaker 16: don't do drugs. Stay away from drugs would be the
Speaker 16: main thing I would say to all little girls, young girls,
Speaker 16: any girls, and actually all young people everywhere.
Speaker 15: And I think that's that says enough for the first thing.
Speaker 4: Anyway, you do have a lot of female fans.
Speaker 11: What does your girlfriend say to that?
Speaker 15: Uh, they all kind of got to live with it.
Speaker 15: I don't know. I don't, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 15: what what makes somebody, you know, handsome to a to
Speaker 15: a woman.
Speaker 16: If if that's how girls perceive me as a sex symbol,
Speaker 16: then that's fine.
Speaker 15: I guess that's good for me.
Speaker 16: But mostly I think of myself as a wrestler, technical wrestler.
Speaker 15: I'm the excellence of execution. I'm a professional wrestler. I'm
Speaker 15: the best wrestler in the world.
Speaker 16: And I'm not really in it for the for the
Speaker 16: looks or the girls and all that's really nice, But
Speaker 16: really I'm just after the wrestling and the and the
Speaker 16: money and the glory and all the good.
Speaker 3: Things that come with it.
Speaker 11: Well, you mentioned the money.
Speaker 4: What do you do with the money?
Speaker 16: Well, most of it? I say, Well, I try, I try.
Speaker 16: I save some when I spend some. I could use
Speaker 16: a good accountant, give me a good German one.
Speaker 11: Okay, thank you very.
Speaker 3: Much, and then went off and fucked my god. I just.
Speaker 2: The way he's they're gonna have to live with it
Speaker 2: as girlfriends. He's married, right, Uh, you should know my
Speaker 2: wife isn't at the top of the list with not
Speaker 2: with my schedule. He doesn't care, right, I mean the
Speaker 2: fact that this is I mean greanted.
Speaker 3: I know he he assumes it's never going to be
Speaker 3: seen on American television, right, and that Americans are going
Speaker 3: to see it, But like or a Canadian for that matter,
Speaker 3: but like what you're saying this on television tremendous, Like
Speaker 3: you're saying this on a televised interview. What are you doing?
Speaker 16: Man?
Speaker 2: I know what he's doing. Shooting is shot, damn fucking sharp.
Speaker 2: Shooting is shot. Right, And with that we bring to
Speaker 2: a conclusion. I couldn't think of a more fitting end.
Speaker 2: Our coverage of WWF European Rampage again nineteen ninety two
Speaker 2: April nineteen ninety two to be exact, Munich, Germany, and
Speaker 2: again huge shout out and thanks to our friend Ben
Speaker 2: from me, Oh yeah, tremendous possible from the jump, I
Speaker 2: mean absolutely an unapproachable show from anywhere near this level
Speaker 2: of depth without his native tongue and his his his
