WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>There are feuds, and there are feuds in the history

2
00:00:06.559 --> 00:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of professional wrestling, and already and going through the round

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>of sixteen of the TLFX Games Tournament, We've seen Dusty

4
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Rhodes and Rick Flair face off against each other. We've

5
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>seen great families like the Funks and Von Erics and

6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.879
<v Speaker 1>the Hearts have at it. We've seen great promoters face

7
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.879
<v Speaker 1>off against some of their greatest assets, when the likes

8
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>of Rnngana faces Andre the Giant. But perhaps no great

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 1>feud in the history of this business has been revisited

10
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>quite like this encounter we'll put back upon the table.

11
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>It's really the feud that in so many ways reverse

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the fortunes of the World Wrestling Federation in late nineteen

13
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:44.479
<v Speaker 1>nineties and now it represents a huge demarcation line and

14
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>a King of the Cast tournament for the ages. It's

15
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>of course brought to you by garage beer, small batch

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>light beer, flavored beer. Definitely not an IPA. It's garage beer.

17
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>When the garage is always open and we're about to

18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.479
<v Speaker 1>open up the floor to the great micro men in

19
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>the history of the business. They feuded, they've hated each other,

20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>They've aligned and then feuded once again, and they've taken

21
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>wrestling fans on a one of a kind ride, both

22
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes and behind the camera. Now, when the

23
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>TLFX Games King of the Cast tournament it's on, it's

24
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 1>lapsed Vince McMahon and lapsed Stone Cold Steve Austin. Let's

25
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>hear first from the Texas Rattlesnake, the multi time WWF

26
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>champion Steve Austin. You know, I'm sitting here at the house.

27
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at a couple of pictures of some of

28
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the things we've done over the years, Vince, and in

29
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>all those years, twenty plus years, thirty plus years, forty

30
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>by forty plus years, six hundred years. Sign. I don't

31
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 1>know what the math AD's up to, but I know

32
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 1>that for way too long now you've been pissing me off.

33
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 1>And that's about the last straw for Stone Cold Steve Austin.

34
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, this goddamn tlf X Games King of the

35
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Cast tournament opened up and I was hearing that maybe

36
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>the lapsed fan doesn't really represent Steve Austin, that well,

37
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.560
<v Speaker 1>maybe they don't imitate the Texas Rattlesnake that well, Son, well,

38
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>I just got done thrown a few hay bales in

39
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the back of the truck. I just got done riding

40
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 1>atv around my multi acre property for no particular reason

41
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and flip flops. I just got done doing a damn

42
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>TikTok of my cat's son. And I can tell you

43
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that pussy over any pussy within the sound

44
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of my voice, and that includes you, Vince. I beat

45
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>your ass. I've thrown you off cages. I've busted your

46
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.479
<v Speaker 1>wide open, son, I've had you on my damn podcast.

47
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 1>I've looked you in the eye. I saw that for

48
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>some reason, your tie was two colors, and I wondered

49
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to myself, you know, well, I ever see this son

50
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 1>of a bitch again? Here I am going through the

51
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Windy's drive through getting myself a flame brawl gimmick or

52
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 1>was that burger king? I don't know. I was wearing

53
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>a knee brace though, but I won't have to wear

54
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a knee brace, son to stomp a mud hole in

55
00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>your ass. In the TLFX games, you know, people talk

56
00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 1>about Vince McMahon. They talk about lapsed vans and how

57
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>we some some sort of nostradamus or something. Son. Apparently,

58
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>if you'll listen to what Lapsed Vince has said. Over

59
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>ten years of the Lapsed Fan, You've been able to

60
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>predict every major development in this industry in the past decade. Well, Vince,

61
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>you know I believed it when I heard it, But

62
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 1>when I heard some of the things you said in

63
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 1>the first round, yeah, assure you. You once again dominated

64
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>your lifelong fuck boy and Pat Patterson to get the

65
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>stone Cold Steve Auston. But that don't impress me, not

66
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>one damn bit. I'm standing here looking across at the

67
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 1>beat the little eyes of a son of a bitch

68
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that's done nothing but lie to Stone Cold, that's done

69
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>nothing but try to take money out of the pockets

70
00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of Stone Cold, that's done nothing but try to defame

71
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Stone Cold. When I took my ball and went home,

72
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>so called, Well, I'm about to take my boss, son

73
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and stick it up your ass and turn this whole

74
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 1>x Games torn him in up on its head because

75
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 1>stone Cold Steve Austin don't lay down for anybody, and

76
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that includes the most powerful man in the history of

77
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the business. I think I proved that over the years.

78
00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm riding off into the sunset, Son, and I'm

79
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 1>sitting on a nest Egg that likes so. But you

80
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.919
<v Speaker 1>never wanted to give anybody, let alone the black trunk's

81
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>wearing former stunt in Steve Austin that you didn't even

82
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>think was worth a damn when you had me fucking

83
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>cut my hair like John Travolta or whatever the fucking

84
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 1>pulp fiction I'm standing here, so Bruce willis sorry what

85
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't even care compare me to whoever.

86
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>You want in Hollywood.

87
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>But on this night, Stone Cold Steve Austin's putting the

88
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>trunks back on, Son. I'm strapping on those knee braces,

89
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.199
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing on that BMF leather vest and the t

90
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 1>LFX game. Son, It's just gonna be another time when

91
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Vince McMahon thought he was gonna get one more over

92
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 1>on Stone Cold Steve Austin and found out quite the opposite.

93
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Was in the cards you can kiss my ass, I

94
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:45.519
<v Speaker 1>get the hell out of here, starting to piss me off. Well,

95
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly still clearly the case that just the mere

96
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 1>utterments of the name Vince McMahon brings out a certain

97
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>unique fury, and the old stone called Steve Austin, he's

98
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.839
<v Speaker 1>bringing that vigor, he's bringing that fire. He's bringing that

99
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 1>animus to this next round matchup against lapsed Vince. We've

100
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 1>seen all sides of him over ten years of TLF podcasting.

101
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's see what he has to say to get past

102
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>his great lifelong nemesis, Stone Cold Steve Austin to advance

103
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 1>in the King of the Cast.

104
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, people in this world could never be happy

105
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 2>with what they've got. You want more and more and more,

106
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and it's a vicious cycle that just goes on and

107
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:34.319
<v Speaker 2>on on. And we here in the Vince mcman headquarters

108
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:42.079
<v Speaker 2>of the universe, the Devil's Home. We know exactly what

109
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 2>people want. We know exactly what greed is, and we

110
00:05:51.600 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>me I like to emphasize greed in other people. I

111
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:06.879
<v Speaker 2>like to emphasize greed and want and desire and envy,

112
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.199
<v Speaker 2>because when it comes down to it, everybody in this

113
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>world is envious of Vincitic Man. Everybody wants what Visitic

114
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Man has. Everybody needs what Vincic Man has. Nobody in

115
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the history of the professional entertainment business lasted as long

116
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 2>as I did. I have been here and I will

117
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>always be here. But you may think that I'm off

118
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>in a way doing things of that nature keeping quiet,

119
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>keeping low. Let me tell you something. My fingers are

120
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 2>always in the pie. I know, I know what you

121
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>all think, know what you all want, and maybe I'll

122
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>feed you a little tidbits here and there. But when

123
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 2>push comes to shove, Vince McMahon is the one in power,

124
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>and so we've got Steve Austin here. He wants something

125
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>to He wants to beat Vincenick Mahn. He wants to

126
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>move on in this King of the Cast tournament. He

127
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there at the beginning. I was there at the beginning.

128
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I decided that a Steve Austin would exist. I decided

129
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.959
<v Speaker 2>that a Hulk Coogan would exist. I decided that a

130
00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:47.079
<v Speaker 2>Rick Flair would exist. I decided that a John Cena

131
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 2>would exist. Everybody has existed because of my desire to

132
00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>make it happen. And we can talk about all the

133
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.519
<v Speaker 2>qualities in the verticals and horizontals of corporate infrastructure, but

134
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>what we have going on right now is an age

135
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 2>old feud boss versus employee. We've been doing this stand

136
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>since nineteen ninety seven, Steve, and maybe you've had the

137
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.319
<v Speaker 2>upper hand of certain times, or maybe that's what you thought,

138
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Because there is nobody better in this entire universe that

139
00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 2>is better at making you think that you've earned something,

140
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.639
<v Speaker 2>at making you think that you won something, at making

141
00:08:42.720 --> 00:08:49.120
<v Speaker 2>you think that you were dominant, than Vince McMahon. Only

142
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 2>one man has proven pure dominance. I've dominated the wrestling industry,

143
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>I've dominated the entertain industry, I've dominated football, and I

144
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:12.320
<v Speaker 2>will dominate the presidency of the United States. No vote

145
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 2>needs to happen, No election needs to happen. Vince McMahon

146
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>is was and always will be Steve Austin. You were

147
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:33.759
<v Speaker 2>my puppet, and I'm the puppet master, and I am

148
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 2>going to take my little puppet and I'm going to

149
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 2>throw him in the fire, watch him burn, and feel

150
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>good about myself because I know that you can't win,

151
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.759
<v Speaker 2>and I know that I always win.

152
00:09:53.159 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Chilling words, and you may be tempted to perhaps take

153
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>them at less than face value. But if the first

154
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 1>round of the tlfx G Sames Tournament is any indication,

155
00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>no one is more dominant than lapsed Vince. His opposition

156
00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the first round, Lapsed Pat Patterson, despite an impassioned

157
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 1>plea to you and the TLF Solar System, only receiving

158
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a measly six point seven percent of the vote. No

159
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>one else was defeated as strongly as Patterson was by

160
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Lapsed Vince, who came in with an astounding ninety three

161
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.840
<v Speaker 1>point three percent of your first round vote. As for

162
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Steve Austin, he was able to topple Lapsed Lord Alfred

163
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Hayes eighty point seven percent to nineteen point three percent,

164
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>also a very impressive differential, but dwarfed in magnitude by

165
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.840
<v Speaker 1>that of the leader in terms of first round percentage.

166
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Get Lapsed Vince. It's going to be another collision for

167
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the Ages between the Texas Rattlesnake and the Chairman of

168
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the Board, and that will do it for the TLFX

169
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Games event center for this our round of sixteen in

170
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the King of the Cast. Who will make it to

171
00:10:53.159 --> 00:10:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the eight, Who will make it to the quarterfinals? Who

172
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.879
<v Speaker 1>will make it all the way to being crowned the

173
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>greatest character in the history of the Lapse Fan podcast

174
00:11:00.759 --> 00:11:03.759
<v Speaker 1>ten years running of podcasting. The vote will soon be

175

<v Speaker 1>in your hands. Keep your eyes and ears on the
